Chapter 278 Im Glad She Liked It (1/2)
It was early in the morning of my fourth day in the Hydra Kingdom. I had come to see Mitsunaga-kun off in front of the city gate.
[Miyama-san, thank you for coming to see me off. I’m sorry, we end up not being able to talk that much.]
[No, no, it can’t be helped. You’re busy with your playing a Hero…… Speaking of which, I saw your speech yesterday and it was very impressive.]
[Thank you. I’m still not as good as Miyama-san, but I’ll do my best to improve, one step after another.]
That’s strange…… It sounded like Mitsunaga-kun just said something strange like him being no match for me, you know?
No, I’m sure that I just heard wrong. It’s not like Mitsunaga-kun would need to try being my equal or anything like that.
[……J- Just in case I heard right, let me ask Mitsunaga-kun something……. You didn’t just say that you’re not as good as me, right?]
[Eh? Ah, yes. After all, Miyama-san has been in contact with the Six Kings. You even have the Phantasmal King-sama under your control, and so that should mean that you already have one of the most powerful people in the world under your control.]
[……N- No, they aren’t that big of a deal…… Especially the Phantasmal King.]
[……Eh?]

It seems that Mitsunaga-kun has heard a lot of rumors about me through Princess Cattleya, and it seems that he really thinks that I’m an amazing person.
However, that’s a big misunderstanding. It’s the people around me that are amazing, not me. I’m just one of the ordinary people you can find anywhere…… ordinary…… Was it no-good to describe myself as ordinary? I feel like describing myself like that is slowly getting forced……
As I was chatting with Mitsunaga-kun for a while, Princess Cattleya, who had finished their preparations for departure, approached us.
[Miyama-sama, thank you so much for your help in this matter. If it weren’t for Miyama-sama’s presence, it would have been quite unfavorable to us.]
[Ah, no, the only one who helped you was Phantasmal King so……]
[Yes, please tell Phantasmal King-sama that I was truly grateful to her as well.]
[I understand.]
I didn’t know about it, but it seems that when the one with the role of Hero gets attacked, it can be a big problem.
But in the previous incident, Alice moved quickly, and since everyone involved, including the mastermind, was quickly apprehended, it really helped Princess Cattleya’s position.
[Well then, Miyama-sama. We’ll take our leave now. I sincerely hope that we can meet again.]

[Me too, please be safe on your journey.]
[……I think there would be more troubles on Miyama-sama’s side though, so please do your best.]
[Unnn. Mitsunaga-kun too, do your best in acting as Hero.]
[Yes! So long!]
With their goodbyes, the carriage that was on standby started moving. As Mitsunaga-kun greatly waves his hand and Princess Cattleya gives a small bow, I see them off.
After Mitsunaga-kun’s group disappeared from sight, I walked towards the city and spoke to Alice since she should be next to me.
[Alice, Princess Cattleya said thank you.]
[I’m not interested in that at all~~ I wouldn’t have helped them if it weren’t for Kaito-san.]
[Still, it’s a fact that you helped them…… That’s why, I’ll say it again for me this time, thank you.]
[Uuuuu…… Y- You’re welcome……]

When I thanked her as well, Alice sounded a little embarrassed when she responded to me before she disappeared.
Now then, after reaching my goal of seeing Mitsunaga-kun and his group off, it’s time for my promised date with Fate-san.
As I think about the places we should go to, I meet up with Fate-san in front of the inn.
[Kai-chaaaan~~ I’ll be in your care today~~]
[Yes. I’ll also be in your care today…… Then, how about we go?]
[Alrighty! Then, let’s go!]
Fate-san didn’t seem to be dressed any differently than usual, but she seemed to be in a very good mood. As she raised her hand with a big smile on her face, she started walking with me towards the city.
One step, two steps, after walking for three steps…… Fate-san suddenly stopped in her tracks.
[……I’m going to die.]
[Isn’t that too fast!?]

You have only taken three steps, you know!? And why the heck did you start slacking off on the ground!? Couldn’t you try a little harder!?
When I dumbfoundedly looked at Fate-san, whose tension clearly plummeted down, she glanced at me and spoke.
[Kai-chan, I have something I’d like to discuss with you…… but how about…… we just go make out in a room, or perhaps, become one?]
[Rejected!]
[Ueeeehhhh……. I- I’m that, you know. I steadily lose a lot of my vitality under the sun.]
[It’s alright. You’re not a vampire, you’re a god.]
As I shuddered, remembering how our bodies are entwined with each other yesterday, I guess Fate-san was still the same as usual. A refreshingly straightforward request…… It immediately gave me a headache.
