Chapter 175 Intermission Kuromueina ③ ~ All I Wished was Just Some Happiness ~ (2/2)

The times when I hid my identity and approached them is when I felt the greatest joy…… I felt that they were talking to me as their equal.

I was so happy in that moment, filled with happiness…… However, once they understand a lot about the world, once they find out who I am…… And once they saw my power…… All of them also fell down on their knees.

The time filled with happiness while I talked with them before became the reason why it became impossibly painful for me.

The time filled with happiness and the painful thoughts…… As I repeatedly felt this over and over again, my wish had grown to the point where I couldn’t control it.

I want to talk to the otherworlder children longer and hear them speak to me equally more…… However, the children who play the role of Heroes are so busy that I can only have a few conversations with them while keeping my identity hidden.

In the end, the desire to not give up even a little bit…… drove me to do such a thing.

I tinkered the Hero Summoning magic circle so that it would summon multiple otherworlders…… I figure that if I did that, I could talk to everyone except for the child who holds the role of Hero even longer.

I ended up troubling Shalltear when I decided to do so…… but I thought that this would be the last time I’m doing this. This is the last time, and after this, I would throw away this wish of mine that won’t be achieved…… Putting the wish hidden behind the depths of my heart within my magic power, I let the Summoning magic circle run amok.

And then……. that’s when I met you.

In the beginning, I didn’t have any special feelings for you. I was just thinking of raising you for your sake.

However, you’re a really different child.

All the children who hold the role of Hero I’ve talked with so far, every time I show them a bit of my power, little by little, they’ve become afraid of me.

However, you’re not like them at all, always greeting me in the same way.

And then, you easily surpassed my imagination…… When I found out that Shiro, the other me was interested in you, I was surprised.

Because the only people Shiro has ever been interested in…… are Shalltear and Hikari-chan……

If you’ve gained Shiro’s interest, if you’re not afraid of standing before her, I thought that maybe…… That’s why I decided to tell you about my true identity.

I may have acted like I didn’t really care about your reaction, but I was really…… really afraid.

I was afraid that after you found out who I was…… you’d leave me and all the fun and happiness I felt in the days you’re here would disappear.

When I went to Lilia-chan’s house, I felt like my heart was about to be torn apart until you spoke to me. I shuddered at the thought of you speaking to me in a respectful manner and apologize for your previous rudeness.

[Kuro, so you’re actually the Underworld King huh……]

Hearing the slightly amazed tone in your voice, I was so happy that I almost cried.

Even after knowing who I was…… You still spoke to me as an equal. I felt happy, felt so happy that I can’t contain myself.

I mean, I’ve never seen one like you before. Not a single child has ever……

[Indeed, though you’re kind of different from what I had imagined.]

No child has ever told me that before…… There isn’t anyone who treated me like that.

Since then, I think that’s when I started to have strong feelings for you…… I’ve enjoyed talking to you more than ever, and seeing your smile makes me happy too.

For the first time…… I felt the feeling of love…… because of you.

However, as my feelings for you grew, something that has been greatly weighing on my mind appeared.

When the Festival of Heroes ends, you will return…… to the world you came from…… and you will disappear from my life.

I know! I also heard that you have important people in your former world…… and an uncle and aunt who have been taking care of you.

If I think about you…… I must give up these feelings. You would return back to your own world…… that’s why……

I’ve become too used to lying to myself over the years.

The truth is that I was just scared…… I felt that if I let these growing feelings of mine for your come out into the open…… I will never be able to turn back to how I used to be.

I feel like I wouldn’t be able to live without you anymore…… and that’s something I can’t help but fear.

I wish I could have walked away from you once I realized that, but I was too happy to spend my time with you that I couldn’t bear for us to part.

And with every step you took, I can definitely feel you getting closer and closer to me.

When you held out the golden fruit to me, my heart greatly trembled.

I was so happy, unbearably happy…… However, if I were to receive it, I would already……

That’s why I rejected you.

With all my might, and with all my heart…… putting in my killing intent…… I can’t get away from you, so I asked you to get away from me……

Of course, I didn’t really want to kill you, nor did I want to hurt you.

I had a firm grasp on your Sympathy Magic, so little by little, to bring out the fear hidden within your heart…… I increased my killing intent.

But…… However…… You are……

[……Kuro…… Thank you…… for everything.]

However, you still didn’t let me go away…… You won’t let go of my heart.

And for the first time……. I was defeated.

I was convinced that you are the one…… The one I’ve been wishing to meet all these times.

I thanked Kaito-kun again for listening to this long story of mine.

Since it was already late at night, Kaito started getting ready for bed and I’m going to leave…… is what he thought, but I actually pretended to leave and actually stayed hidden somewhere near.

After Kaito-kun went to bed, I came back to his room…… and crawled into the futon where Kaito-kun sleeps.

Perfectly sticking my body against his, I closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of Kaito-kun’s body heat all over my body.

The feeling of happiness and his comfortable warmth…… I bury my face in my beloved Kaito-kun’s chest, feeling the happiness that surrounds my whole body.

Kaito-kun…… I love you, I really love you.

What you will do after the Festival of Heroes…… isn’t something I will ask. Because either way, it doesn’t matter anymore for me……

I will be glad if you stay here with me, but if you go back to your previous world…… I’ll be there with you.

Even if I have to leave this world I’ve always loved, I still want to walk towards the future with you by my side……

New Fact: The Demon Lord’s name is Fear, she was one of Kuro’s baby birds, and she misread Kuro’s heart and went out of control…… In other words, she’s a clumsy girl.

And with that, the Intermissions are over…… Next time, it will be the date that will make everyone vomit rainbows. After that, I feel like it would be Isis’s chapter, with each heroine becoming the main focus of the story.

Also, Kaito, who was sleeping together with a little girl, die.
