Chapter 259 Intermission Fear ~~ Selfish Wish ~~ (1/2)
At a corner of the capital of the Symphonia Kingdom. There exists a church/infirmary near the residential area beyond the main streets.
In the resting area at the back of the examination room there, a woman with black hair and black-colored eyes, a rarity in this world, was sitting on a chair, talking with Fear, the head of the infirmary.
[……I think we’ve exchanged a lot of sentences by now, and I think we’re getting to know each other better, so I think it’s time for me to move on to the next stage…… What do you think?]
[Unnn, I’ve said it a million times already, but I’ll say it again. “Hikari”…… This is an infirmary. This isn’t a place where you ask relationship advice, okay? Could you go somewhere else for that?]
[No way…… Other than Fear, I have no one else to turn to anymore!]
[……No, I think you have made a terrible mistake in selecting the person to ask here. Seriously……]
Looking at her with an astounded expression on her face, Hikari…… Neun, who had her helmet off, looked at her with a relying expression on her face.
They had been best friends for a long time, and Neun visited Fear a fair amount of times, and she has come to discuss with Fear about her latest troubles, her love life…… It’s a nice nuisance for Fear though.
In the first place, although she is much older than Neun, Fear has no experience in love, and there’s not much that she can advise her.
Still, Neun was looking at Fear as if she was really relying on her closest friend…… with a gaze that seems to ask her for help.

When she did that, the good-natured Fear couldn’t refuse her anymore, and letting out a loud sigh, she spoke.
[……Haahhh…… So, talking about this next level, what exactly do you want to do with him?]
[L- Let’s see…… I kinda want us to go see the “opera”……]
[……Errr, I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that before. You said opera, didn’t you? That doesn’t exist in this world, right?]
[Or perhaps, see one of those “moving pictures”……]
[That also doesn’t exist here, you know?]
[W- What about “Noh plays”?]
[No, I don’t even know what that is.]
[U- Ugghhhh……]
Any of the things Neun had spoken about were things from Earth…… that were popular in the time she lived in, and Fear, a resident of this world, had no idea about it.

Still, she could understand most of what she was trying to say.
[……That means, you want that? In short, what you’re saying is that you want to go on a date.]
[D- D- D- Date!?]
[No, you don’t have to be that surprised…… However, isn’t it fine? Why don’t you try inviting him out?]
[……Won’t Fear “invite him for me instead”?]
[Why!?]
Apparently, Neun’s problem is that she wants to get closer to her current penpal, Kaito.
Since Fear understood that they frequently exchanged letters, she agreed that it was a good idea to go out together, but she was startled by her pathetic response.
And then, Neun, the person in question, turns her face down in embarrassment while her index fingers were poking at each other.
[You’re exchanging letters with him right? Then, why don’t you ask him out with that?]

[……B- But…… I- I’m…… embarrassed……]
[………………..]
Hearing the words Neun quietly muttered, Fear was speechless, looking at her with a dumbfounded look on her face.
[……Haahhh…… No matter how much I was mentally troubled at that time…… I wonder how I could have “lost to someone like this”……]
[Like this!?]
[Yes, someone like this. Seriously…… How can the former Hero be this pathetic?]
[Uuuu, that’s mean, Fear.]
[I’m not being mean…… The one who’s really mean here is the person who just barges in just when I thought I’ve already finished treating anyone and can have my really precious break, and forcibly asks me for relationship advice.]
[Aaauuu……]
With her eyes looking in the distance, as if she was thinking of her past self, Fear turns her glare towards the shameless First Hero in front of her.
