Chapter 361 I May Have Been a Bit Hasty (1/2)

Together with Neun-san and Eden-san, I walked away from Hero’s Hill and left Kuro and Dr. Vier alone.

The weather was fine, and the occasional breeze felt good against my body, which had been flushed from all the running.

[Even so, it was a relief, wasn’t it?]

[Yes, I agree. This should take some of the burden off Vier’s shoulders. By the way…… Kaito-san.]

[Yes?]

[Ummm, you…… see…… She has been “menacingly glaring at me” since a while ago, can I ask who this person with an outrageous amount of magic power is? My body is instinctively shaking and I can’t walk properly……]

It’s easy for me to forget because of my Sympathy Magic, but having powerful magic power could feel oppressive to others, although it may not be as intimidating as Isis-san’s magic power of death.

Although it would be impossible to put pressure on others with only the magic power clad in their bodies, unless they’re as strong as the Six Kings…… Well, Eden-san does have more power than some of them, so the pressure Neun-san was feeling must have been quite considerable.

There are those who suppress their magic so as not to intimidate others, like Kuro, and there are those who have no intention of suppressing it, like Shiro. It seems like Eden-san is of the latter type…… Neun-san’s body was slightly shaking from earlier just because of her presence.

[Errr, this is Eden-san…… So to speak, she’s errr…… the God of our previous world.]

[……I- Is that so…… A- And so, why is she glaring at me? E- Eden-sama?]

When Neun-san timidly asked her that, Eden-san stared at Neun-san with a serious look on her face…… before she muttered to herself.

[……Doubt.]

[Ehh? E- Errr, Kaito-san?]

[I’m sorry. I have no idea what she’s thinking either.]

After muttering a few words, she looked away from Neun-san, as if she had lost interest, and then looked towards me…… Her mouth distorted into the shape of a crescent moon, creating a really fiendish smile. Seriously though, she looks scary when she smiles……

W- Well, let’s just leave it at that…… I should thank her for her help……

[A- Anyway…… Eden-san, thank you for helping me today.]

[Gratitude, Unnecessary, Cooperate, Natural.]

[……If it’s possible, please speak normally.]

[There’s no need to thank me, for it’s natural for Mother to help you…… “my beloved child”.]

As soon as I heard those words, I immediately turned around and started running.

I didn’t have a clear reason for why I ran away, but my instincts must have reacted the moment I saw the murky heart in Eden-san’s eyes.

[Well, you’re quite lively, aren’t you, my child? However, that won’t do. You can’t just suddenly run, you may trip and fall, you know?]

[……Ah, yes.]

I thought I had started running, but for some reason, I was currently being hugged!? This is bad, I can’t run away!?

As I was caught, red alerts began sounding in my head…… but surprisingly, Eden-san immediately let go of my body and smiled.
