Isekai Shoukan wa Nidome Desu

Chapter 8



Authors Note:

This one is longer than usual

[T.N: Like, crazy long]

Hmmfrom where should I start the explanation? (Setsu)

Some time had passed from before, right now the only people in the store are Yuuhi, Eruka and me. I felt bad for the other guest, but I had Eruka used her Charm Eye to make them promise not tell anyone about what happened inside the store, and then had them go home. For the promise made with Charm Eye, it will keep remaining inside the head even after you cancel the eye unless in extreme circumstances. The wish of the princess should still continue remaining in my classmates.

Thats right, first of all shall I speak about my relationship with Eruka? (Setsu)

Yeah (Yuuhi)

The thing that I will speak about right now is, about how I have come to this world, and somehow about my puzzling master-servant relationship with Eruka. Ill skip the part about having reincarnated since its confusing.

What the heck is puzzling master-servant relationship!? (Yuuhi)

Although Yuuhis question is reasonable, its hard to say that its because she had awakened to M when I have a sparring practice with Eruka. Sorry, Yuuhi.

Lets stop there, the important part is about when Ive come to this world right? (Setsu)

Its amazing that youre able to ignore it with such a straight faceyeah, thats right. (Yuuhi)

After that I talked about having obtained powers from various continents. And also the reason for incurring this countrys ill will

And that from now I will go out of the country and meet some people.

As I though Yuki-kun want to go. (Yuuhi)

How did you know? (Setsu)

Somehow, you have this atmosphere that seemed like you want to go somewhere. (Yuuhi)

What the hell, am I that easy to read..?

Eruka nods with an uhuh at the side.

Say. cant I follow you? (Yuuhi)

No good. Theres still too many things you lack. (Setsu)

But! Even when I can fight!? (Yuuhi)

Certainly the magic in Yuuhi may be called the top-class, but the problem in this case is her ability.

Youre lacking experience, the experience of attacking and killing a monster, the experience of killing an enemy (Setsu)

The experience of killing a companionI almost blurt that out, but I stopped. This one only applied to me, theres no need for Yuuhi to experience that.

Although I dont know how she perceived my sour look, Yuuhi didnt make a fuss.

Thenwhat should I do? I I want to be with Yuki-kun (Yuuhi)

I think that Im a proud man now that theres a woman here saying that to me.

Although Im not planning to take anyone, Ive intended to suggest this.

If you want to follow by all meanslearn the basics from Eruka, if its her, Yuuhi will be able to be independent. Eruka, can I ask you that? (Setsu)

It is Setsu-samas request. Ill fill her with plenty of experience as long as Yuuhi-san is ready. (Eruka)

What a reliable woman she ismy view of her would have changed if shes not a pervert.

How about it? (Setsu)

I,I want to be strong. So that I can go around the world with Yuki-kunEruka-san, can I ask that of you? (Yuuhi)

Its going to be tough you know? (Eruka)

Ill do anything. (Yuuhi)

The clear will of wanting to be strong is reflected strongly in Yuuhis eyes. Since she didnt get affected by the princesss Charm Eye up to now, although at first her eyes had hesitation without any purpose, right now her eyes are as strong as the others.

she passed, Setsu-sama. (Eruka)

Yeah, Ill leave her to you, Eruka. (Setsu)

Leave it to me, Ill bring her up as a magician that will be able to burn up the continent. (Eruka)

Noalthough I did say to let her get some experienceat most just make it at the level of a city.

You dont have to go that farafter that is, thats rightsince we still have time, to make up for the lost time, lets all walk together this time. (Setsu)

Un! Its a promise! (Yuuhi)

The Yuuhi of today seems to have finally obtained a goal after coming to this world.

Is it evening already (Setsu)

The three of us left the shop to walk around town. Although its true that I could no longer be in the country, I stayed a little bit too long.

Since I have to prepare to leave the country, since theres a place that I need to go to for a bit. what the the two of you wanna do? (Setsu)

A littlemay I have a bit of time to talk with Yuuhi-san? (Eruka)

Only the two of them?

Okay. Then lets meet again later. (Setsu)

Yes (Eruka)

When I see them again, its time to say goodbye

Eruka leaves with Yuuhi who had become speechless.

Now then, I should finish my business early.

[T.N: POV change to 3rd person]

As Eruka and Yuuhi part parted with Setsu, they moved in the town towards a quite place.

Umthe talk? (Yuuhi)

Aah, I dont have any important talk in particular. Just a little bit about his story. (Eruka)

Eruka didnt dare to use Setsus name here. She had learned her lesson from before.

He had a belief that is too naive to live in this world. That is the reason why he got angry a while ago. (Eruka)

Belief? (Yuuhi)

Yesno matter how much he will be abused by others, no matter how much he got neglected, even if he get assaulted, he would never retaliate. However, if the person he loved is exposed to danger, he will use every cards he have to helpthat is his belief. (Eruka)

[T.N: Not sure which one I should chose, creed or belief.]

It sounds as if he didnt care about what is done to him without thinking of doing anything.

Well its probably also because of his strength, since its possible to say that he wont get scratched with most of what is done to him. If we think of him at the level of a fierce animal, its likely for us to only be a gathering of ants to him. (Eruka)

Yuki-kunhes that strong. (Yuuhi)

It can be said that hes out of standardHowever for the ants, if they bite his companion, he will crush them with his every efforthes a man with such a thought. (Eruka)

At the cafe, Setsu didnt worry about his true identity being found out, its Erukas position he was worried about. If the country knew about it and knew that she had a connection with someone the country have a grudge with, the country will never forgive Eruka. Even if shes still Setsus former companion, no, its because their viewpoint is very limited. Last night, it was also considerably dangerous to have gone to Setsus room. Well, Eruka wont make the mistake of being found out. Although she did get found out by Yuuhi. its alright since she a girl who didnt get brainwashed by the princess, but if it was other people it was a sure out.

She doesnt want to go to war, she accepted the condition of using her energy to the development of the heroes, in the castle.

We no longer have any need to stay in the castle anymore too (Eruka)

Her purpose, for Setsus return have already been accomplished in unexpected form.

Can we follow Yuki-kun? (Yuuhi)

Thats no good, since the pursuers will chase if you follow him. (Eruka)

Although the country employs her to raise the heroes, it also has the meaning of monitoring her at the same time too. They dont want to have any unnecessary extra thing related to Setsu they tried to be cautious of her to the point of watching her at night, but with the war going on, Eruka managed to win by pointing out the lack of staff.

Well, its also pleasant seeing you guys grow, not to mention theres a little something we need to investigate. (Eruka)

What they really need to investigateits about a certain person that Tia and Eruka had reported to Setsu.

Thats the only person that they really need to clarify by all means, so its really important.

That much is it really that important? (Yuuhi)

At least it is important for us. (Eruka)

She starts speaking about the content.

At that time, around 5 years agohe who had been summoned had befriend another person who had been summoned along with him. I think they kind of clicked together seeing that theyre from the same place. Both are getting stronger, and although theyre starting to get familiar with this worldI wonder where it had been different? One of them is on the summoning countrys beck and call, positively participating in the warthe other one is doing the opposite, escaping from the country, and created a relationship with the Beastman and the Devil tribe.

And thenthey clashed.

The person who tried to have the Human country win marched into the Devil continent along with the army, planning to wipe out the Devil tribe. It was him who stopped it. To defend the Devil tribe that he befriends, he clashed with that person. At the end of the battleHe killed that person himself. (Eruka)

It is a battle where the fight completely changed the geographical features, Eruka remembers it well.

It is definitely a fight between heroesbut he is definitely a hero among heroes, even when compared to the heroes of the Human country, or the heroes of the Devil and the Beastman tribe

Although he got depressed for a while having killed a friend, he barely managed to recover from suicide. Theres still a lot more lives I need to shoulder is what he said with a wry smile. The resolution to kill that her told you about before, even he himself didnt have it. He had lost it since then. (Eruka)

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

(Yuuhi)

Yuuhi became speechless. His past is much more fierce than she could imagine.

I and the others in this world are used to taking lives. Our feelings are hardly moved no matter how many enemies we buriedHowever, if he were to kill again this time, I wonder what would happen (Eruka)

.. (Yuuhi)

Yuuhi still cant utter a single word. On that side is about the Setsu that she doesnt know, so what she wanted to say had all been lost.

Shall we go back to the story? The investigation that we said are important, refers to that dead person. (Eruka)

.That person should be dead already right? (Yuuhi)

that person might still be alive. (Eruka)

!? (Yuuhi)

That person is aliveits a sentence that could shook the country.

Theres no conclusive evidence..however Tia seems to have detected his magic power. Although it was just for an instant, we planned to investigate to clarify it (Eruka)

If that person is alivewhat will you do? (Yuuhi)

I think that Ill put an end to that person. That person is too dangerous after all. (Eruka)

Fortunately they had come to the more unpopular area. Declaring to kill someone, its not funny if they got caught.

Isnt that dangerous? (Yuuhi)

That person is really intent eradicating the Devil and Beastman tribe. The important person Ive made in this world had been deprived in the waris what I heard from him. (Eruka)

In other words its revenge, and the reason why he participated in the war at that time.

If that person is alivethat person will participate in this war for sure. If that person is there, he might have been forced to kill each other again. Because I want to avoid that, I planned to do what I said before. (Eruka)

If that person is alive, she will kill that person before that person is made to participate in the waris her plan.

Oops, sorry. The thing I want to talk about is not that kind of story. (Eruka)

.? (Yuuhi)

The heavy atmosphere disappeared from Eruka. Yuuhi was taken aback and breathes out unintentionally.

What I want to say to you, after you have become strong, I want you to help supporting him. (Eruka)

Yeah why are you asking me to do the obvious? (Yuuhi)

Am I listening correctly? is what Yuuhis expression said. Eruka changed her perception of Yuuhi. Even after hearing Setsu had killed a person, she thought that her idea of him might changed a bit, but that doesnt seems to be the matter.

Yuki-kun had helped me many times when I was in Japan. Although the surrounding people give Yuki-kun strange looks, he is really sweet and gentle. Since Ive been protected all the time, I was slightly glad when I learned that Yuki-kun doesnt have any power when we came to this world. I can protect him this timeHowever hes just concealing his powerthere are parts of me that are slightly disappointed. (Yuuhi)

Yuuhi could only laugh with a wry smile.

So you want me to support Yuki-kun? (Yuuhi)

Yesalthough I said that, since he is strong, I want you to protect him in a different way. (Eruka)

Different? (Yuuhi)

I want to prevent him from taking lives as much as possible. If we didnt have any dangerous encounter, he will not show his power. That is his belief after all. (Yuuhi)

In other words. its about being strong enough to not have any dangerous encounter? (Yuuhi)

Eruka gives an agreeing nod. Once she became strong, she would be able to support Setsu. Theres no better desirable outcome for Yuuhi.

Im going to be strict on you from now on you know? Please dont expect to have any holidays. (Eruka)

Y-Yes! Ill do my best! (Yuuhi)

The two walked around town in the evening.

No one expects it at this time, that sooner or later, the name of Yuuhi who had obtained more power than expected will reached Setsus ear who had left the continent, and it even arrives earlier than the name of Kouma who is the Hero that wields the Holy Sword.

[T.N: POV changed to MC again]

After having separated from the two, I went to visit the town outskirts. Although I dont want to stay here for too long as the neighborhood is not that safe, theres no helping it since I have business here.

The place Im aiming for had a comparatively better peace and order than the lowerregion.evenif I said it was better, a pick pocketing happen in front of me a while ago. The person got his baggage snatched, but even that person snatched the baggage from another person, so its like the thiefs stolen bicycle got stolen. The first person sure is pitifulsince it was this messy, shouldnt the country do something to manage it more?

Its ragged as usual (Setsu)

The place Im looking for is a bar. The signboard shows that it was not yet open for business. Although it got a wooden exterior, the aging makes it seems like it will fall apart at any moments. The shops name at the entrance is barely readable.

Bauss Tavern

[T.N: or Ba-U-Su. Ill change it later if I find better name.]

Here is my destination.

Although I put a lot of effort to open the door, the door barely moved

At least maintain it properlythere we go. (Setsu)

I give the door a light kick and break it down. The door that got blown away scattered in a mass inside the shop.

It really is a mystery how the shop is still not broken yet even if I didnt come and put some force into it. It is pretty sturdy even if it looks raggedjudging from appearance alone it really is impossible for it to not change at all for 5 years.

WHO IS IT!? (???)

My ears heard a good old nostalgic roar.

You broke the door!! Do you want this to be your last joke huuuh!? (???)

What appeared from the inside of the shop is a large man who exceeds the height of 2 meters. The brown tanned body is swelled with forged muscle, moving about in his sleeveless shirt. Anyway his face is stern, as the grizzled hair mixed with white shows that this fellow is a guy passed his middle age.

Even the roar is the same as beforeold manyou never listen (Setsu)

Huuuh? That tone. You youre Setsu? (???)

Been a long time, Baus. Im breaking down the door as usual to enter. (Setsu)

UOOOOOOHHH!!! Youre really Setsu!!? (Baus)

In the excitement the large man keeps on slapping my back, I know that this fellow hasnt changed at all and kind of glad for that.

Or rather it hurts so stop it already!!

Hahaa~I see, you got kicked out of this world in that way. (Baus)

Your way of saying it really pissed me off for some reason (Setsu)

I was explaining the reason that I disappeared from the very beginning. Although Baus nodded while fixing the door, everything he said really makes me feel offended somehow.

Somehow it feels like youre having a grudge on me. (Setsu)

Didnt I have a pretty solid reason for that!? You occupy the warehouse for 5 years and when you come you break the door again! (Setsu)

Ah, thats right. I remember the reason that I came here.

Please open the warehouse, I need to do some preparations as Im leaving this country. (Setsu)

Were not finished talking about the door yet you shitty bratwell, Im going to open it now. (Baus)

Thanks (Setsu)

Baus repaired the door moderately, and then opened a certain door behind the worn out counter of the bar and entered. I followed behind, entering the room in the interior.

The room was made to be sturdy that cant be imagined from its appearance. The floors are fine, and theres no wooden debris falling out from the ceiling.

This place doesnt change at all. (Setsu)

Your luggage is still there after all. Although the state of preservation should be good, I originally planned to just get rid of that junk-like thing considering the master. (Baus)

Yeah, everything looks fine. Everything looks just as it is. (Setsu)

Everything is fine my ass (Baus)

The old mans complaint is reasonable, but I want you to understand my position for having been transferred suddenly.

Here it is. (Baus)

Baus open a particularly large door in the room.

On the inside contains equipment like huge swords, shield and bows, stern protective gears, shining ores, and gold coins that are dazzling for the eyes.

All of this are the things that I had scraped up at that time. Ive been active as an adventurer one time, as a result I obtained the money, equipment, and all the gems in this warehouse.

Why did I ask Baus to manage it? This guy used to be at the top for human, being the strongest adventurer for the human.

As I thought this is more than what I earned in my whole active career. (Baus)

Im young after all, old man. (Setsu)

Im still just 163 years old. (Baus)

Just how long is the average lifespan of this world!? (Setsu)

Although Ive know him for a long time, this is the first time Ive heard about his age.

Well when I think about it the age is not really that strange. The amount of magic affects the vitality in this world. As you can see, as Baus was the former strongest adventurer for the human, the amount of magic he have should be quite large. He always used the body strengthening magic. After his decline, he retires from being adventurer and open the tavern for business

Youre noisy despite being my apprentice. (Baus)

Youre the one who always makes the noise you damn old man. (Setsu)

Hes noisy every single time.

Well in a way, I am kind of like his apprentice. Although it was really just a coincidence, this guy helped me who was acting a little rash, and made me his apprentice. At that time when I just became an adventurer, I think I failed and he helped me?

Youre mistaking some poisonous grass for medicinal plant and ate it before vomiting. (Baus)

OiDont say that. (Setsu)

Since it was a mistake that even a beginner wont doI mean it cant be helped since that herb is delicious.

I swear since that time that I will never excessively eat the medicinal herb that I pick up.

Like that, experienced adventurers start leaving their baggage to the top-class Baus. If its this guy, taking care of the weapon is his forte.

Now then, talking is good too but quickly arrange your item since Ive open it. (Baus)

Oops, thats right. (Setsu)

I enter the warehouse, looking for my thing. This warehouse is really large huh, is it magic?

Its the same principle with magic bag, or rather did you forget that I made this myself? (Baus)

NoI didnt forget. (Setsu)

Magic bagits a convenient bag that will change its capacity according to the amount of magic of the owner. Depending on the person you can even put an entire dragon inside.

This one and this~? (Setsu)

I check my own magic bag, and see the inside.

As I thought I still cant see the bottom, even when I put my hand inside, I cant reach the bottom no matter how far I pushed it.

Then I throw a gem inside, and reach out my hand again.

Something touched the tip of my finger. When I reached for it and grab it, what came out was the gem I just threw.

Well its that kind of thing, even if the capacity is so big that you cant see the bottom, if you imagine the thing you want to take out and put your hand inside, it is easily obtainable. This is a way that a person who created this bag do, but is there a same device in this warehouse?

Just close your eyes and imagine the one you need, it should appear in front of you. (Baus)

Although I was half in doubt, I close my eyes and imagine it.

Then I felt a presence of something changed in front of me.

Open up and see for yourself. (Baus)

When I open my eyes, a large sword in its sheath with the length that easily exceeded my height appeared in front of me.

When I went to the Devil continent, I got this from the Demon King. Although I had the Holy Sword as a Skill, it was slightly inconvenient. Therefore I came to use this large sword. The sharpness was perfect, even when I neglected it for a long time. Theres little decorations on it, and as it is a double-edge sword with black blade as its feature, I named it Kuromaru.

[T.N: Kuro=black, Maru= full circle/perfection, also a common suffix for a Japanese male name.]

You havent change at all, Kuromaru. (Setsu)

Dont you wish you have a better naming sense though? (Baus)

I think Kuromaru is a good name.

However, this place really got the same principle as the magic bag (Setsu)

Well I only take the magic used on the magic bag and give it to the room. It took some time, but it works great. (Baus)

Well, I guess it would work if you just used what was put on the magic bag and apply it to the room instead.

I resume searching the warehouse. Why is there a puppet here?

Seeing me stopped working when I find something I didnt remember, Baus talked to me.

Youre really the same as everas I thought you really planned on taking revenge against this country. (Setsu)

This guy suddenly start having a serious talk

Huh? Who the hell would do such a thing? (Setsu)

They transfer you out to the point of almost being killed you know? Even your appearance had changed. (Baus)

I didnt even think about such thing. (Setsu)

Ive determined to settle down in this world a long time ago. However, this country tramples on that decision, even taken my life in Japan too. It would be a lie if I said I didnt hate them.

However, Im the one who had killed the hope of this country. They would have to do at least that much is what I think. (Setsu)

Another person who got summoned with me, we became friend after we came to this world, we learn how to use our power together, say goodbye, then repeatsreally living our lives.

That guy participates in the was as the legitimate hero of this country, and I who left the hero duty got along well with the Devil and Beastman. Therefore, Ill never allow that fellow who was going to murder all of the Devils with the blade without any mercy. Although it was me who would be unreasonable if you consider it from the human

This country is currently housing a few of my important thing. (Setsu)

Eruka, Grein and Tia were safe. The Demon King and the Beast King is alive too, thats enough for me.

Especially those three in this country, I as the leader got discouraged a bit when I appeared before, but theyre always being there for me.

Haah you really have no self interest as usual. (Baus)

Thats rude. And I do think about myself. (Setsu)

What does that sigh really mean?

I knew you would think like thatIf it was me, I would have tried to expose their action no matter what. You might think of them as just a gathering of ants, but arent you the bit worried? You need to at least try to get back at them (Baus)

I felt like anger was mixed in with Bauss words here and there.

Maybe this guy is also worried about me.

Even if I do that, my surroundings will get dangerous once they knewafter that theres going to be a lot of people tracking me. (Setsu)

Im amazed at what hes saying right now. Im not a fool, if anything, its like hes praising me and I got somewhat itchy for that.

Its nothing much. If theres anyone who tried to put their hands on my thing, Ill erase them for sure, that much is enough. (Setsu)

Thats fine right? No matter what they said, the war didnt occur because of you. (Baus)

(Setsu)

Forget it, there will be people who will think about protecting you, so theres no need for me to get angry here. (Baus)

I cant really retort to that, so I just proceed with my work silently.

I wanted to hear Bauss opinion, but I cant.

Probably because he said Do you understand?.

[T.N: Yeah, not sure about this one.]

Youre in the way, old man. (Setsu)

Heh, youre the one coming here with trouble. Im even in a good mood right now to offer some help. (Baus)

Hah! Like I would need any help with this kind of thing. (Setsu)

Ive packed the herb that could be eaten, all thats left is the type of flowers that could make you fainted in an instant.

[T.N: Again, not sure about this, but pretty sure its wrong.]

Then its good, just get going already, you stupid apprentice. (Baus)

.Yeah, Im going, shitty master. (Setsu)

I go out of the shop with the baggage. Its time to open the shop soon.

As I thought when I speak to Baus, even though Im being treated like a child, for some reason I didnt find it unpleasant.

(Maybe hes something like a father figure for me)

I shake my head to remove that ridiculous thought, and hurried to the meeting place with those two. Ive spent too much time, the sun had almost set. Since the meeting place is at the previous spot, Ill arrive soon.

While running in the town, Bauss words repeated in my head.

He talked about the continuation after the war, when I tell him I wont go killing anymore, he said;

No-killing huh, I think thats a good resolve, but dont forget that it might lead to your treasured one being killed you know? (Baus)

I wont let that happen. (Setsu)

While muttering that, I raise my running speed.

KillingI recalled that act.

The feeling at that time, I dont think Ill be able to accept that for my whole life.

Yuki-kun! (Yuuhi)

When I arrived at the meeting place, Yuuhi is already there. However Eruka is nowhere to be seen.

Wheres Eruka? (Setsu)

She went back, seems that she still have to prepare for tomorrows training. Were you in such a hurry that youve forgotten? Since Ill also be taking the basic training from tomorrow on, it seems that it will be a full-scale training for me. (Yuuhi)

It cant be helped if thats the case, sometimes she acts like that

Still, if its a battle training I might want to join a bit. Theres a chance that I could send that stupid Endo flying.

If Im thinking about such thing, as I though I got influenced by the old man.

Yuki-kun, Where have you been? The sun had already went down you know? (Yuuhi)

Today is the given date after all, Ive prepared the tools for camping. (Setsu)

I tapped the magic bag attached to my waist when I said that. Since the money, sword and food are all inside, Im relatively light right now. By the way, I divided the food with Baus. I got a bit too much after all.

I see

I, Ill become strong so that Yuki-kun dont have to protect me! (Yuuhi)

What Yuuhi meant is something along the line of I wont depend on you, but in any case Im glad.

Could it be that she heard about my belief from Eruka?

I wont meet any dangerous situation, so that Yuki-kun doesnt have to fight! (Yuuhi)

As I though she did heard about it from Eruka huh?

Yeah, thats right. Please do that okay? (Setsu)

Un! Thats whycome back safely okay? (Yuuhi)

Its impossible for me to get into any dangerous situation. (Setsu)

While I said that, I cut my hair that have grown long with wind magic. Although I dont have much sense for it, the hair falls on the ground. With the hair covering my eyes disappeared, the view in front of me is cleared. Since I hate it being unshapely, for now I just cut the one I can see.

Although Ive been planning to cut if before, it kept on growing until now before I noticed.

Well, this might be a good chance to leave with a new feeling.

Is it weird? (Setsu)

No! Its all right! Youre cool like always! (Yuuhi)

Even if I recall my face, it should be a mediocre face the same as my previous lifewell whatever, Ill take that as a compliment.

[T.N: I think hes saying his previous life also had a normal face, not that his current face is the same as the previous one.]

When I tried to take care of the hair that dropped, Yuuhi emitted a small flame from her hand, burning the hair that dropped.

Thats a beautiful flame. (Setsu)

When you said thatsomehow Im glad. (Yuuhi)

Yuuhi became embarrassed while saying that.

Her flame is a clean orange, its a flame magic with such a clean color that Ive never seen before.

The color really fits the evening sun(Yuuhi) which is her name.

Im proud of my flame magic the most. However, I really didnt want to use this power to injure a person. (Yuuhi)

I dont even want to use magic in the first placeis what Yuuhi said.

Weve come to such a world. its unpleasant but we need to fight not matter how much we hate iteveryone else is also training without questionI got scared of learning a technique that could take a life. (Yuuhi)

Having obtained that doubtis because I didnt let her get affected by the Charm Eye. If I didnt give her the divine protection, Yuuhi might have not having such fearHowever thats not good, absolutely.

However, if I learn how to protect someone, if I become strongI think that I wont be scared anymore. Thats why, so that I wont trouble Yuki-kunI want to be strong so that I would be able to protect you. (Yuuhi)

Forget it, there will be people who will think about protecting you, theres no need for me to get angry here.

(Hahits like Im still in front of my master, just what is that guy)

The old mans smug face appeared in my head. Youre right huh? That face wont be good for business.

Yuki-kun..? (Yuuhi)

oops, sorry. Yeah, become strong so that youll be able to protect me okay? (Setsu)

Un! (Yuuhi)

I see, I seetei! (Setsu)

Ouch!? (Yuuhi)

I flick my finger on Yuuhis forehead.

Her forehead is red while she glared reproachfully.

It hurtsWhy!? (Yuuhi)

Didnt you said you want to protect me? You cant even prevent this much. (Setsu)

I-I see! O-one more time! (Yuuhi)

Ah, I didnt mean for it to be like that

Still, I apologize to Yuuhi in earnest, and flick it one more time.

She prepared herself since its not a surprise attack this time.

Ouch! (Yuuhi)

My finger cuts the wind and hits Yuuhis forehead.

Its no use unless I avoid it! (Yuuhi)

Theres nothing you can do to avoid a forehead flick I let out a wry smile seeing Yuuhi like that.

Then, Ill consider you pass if you can avoid it the next time we met. (Setsu)

Really!? Ill work hard! (Yuuhi)

Dont tell me she will only practice how to avoid a forehead flick

Theres no hope for her if she only focus on thatright?

The surrounding had already become dark when I noticed, although its fun, it is time to go

ThenI should be going. (Setsu)

.Un, have a safe trip. (Yuuhi)

I start walking towards the road that leads to outside of the town. In front of it, a dark forest of the night had already spread.

Yuki-kun, I, you seeI really li (Yuuhi)

Stop right there, Yuuhi (Setsu)

I blurt that out suddenly, cutting Yuuhis words. Letting a woman say itit was downright out for me.

I have women waiting for my answers here in this worldso many of them in fact, wont you just hurt yourself saying it to someone like me? (Setsu)

So many is not really a liestill, there are a few people I think. I wonder why are they having that kind of feeling towards me

For Yuuhi that isI noticed her goodwill. I too would like for it to happenhowever I leave over too many of previous engagements in this world.

[T.N: Engagement, as in, appointment kind of meaning, not fiancee.]

But still, I (Yuuhi)

Then, lets do it this way. (Setsu)

I didnt allow her to say much more, I look back and said.

The next time we meet, if the Yuuhi at that time are strong enough that she could protect meI will say this; (Setsu)

You are important, please be together with mesomething like that

Yuuhi after hearing me said that, her face had become so shocked.

Feeling happy from the bottom of her heart, she says in a voice mixed with determination.

Understood. Ill absolutely will make you say that. Because Ill become even stronger than Eruka! (Yuuhi)

Ah, Eruka huhThats a good target

No, isnt it bad that shes her aim? What should I do if Yuuhi become a super-M

Y-yeah, please do your best! (Setsu)

U-un (Yuuhi)

The me who cant wipe out the uneasiness are at a loss for words for some reason. Its okay, it should be okay.

Then, Ill go! See you later! (Setsu)

Ah, wait Yuki-kun!? (Yuuhi)

I start running as I couldnt hide my unrest.

The cold sweat doesnt stop!? Why.

Guoooooohh!!! Calm yourself!!!! (Setsu)

I run while shouting.

I immediately remember that Ive said a pretty embarrassing thing, even my face is red.

Aaaaaahh!! Please let Yuuhi be saaaaafe!!! (Setsu)

I worry about Yuuhi, which contradicts wanting to part from her

Before long, although we will meet againat that time, I really worried that Yuuhi will become a super-M

I really dont want her to be a super-M.
