Chapter 605: "Awakened Feelings" (2/2)

While Fate’s face was slowly turning red, her eyes chaotically moved about.

[…….T- That’s right…… “I need to go back to work”.]

Just like that, Fate finally reached the peak of her confusion and began to act in a way that was the furthest thing from her normal self. Without messing around, she went to her desk, which she had only used a handful of times since the construction of her temple, and began to work frantically, as if she was trying to forget something.

After a few minutes while Fate was working, the huge door of her room was opened with great force.

[God of Fate! Today for sure, I’m going to make you work on those increasing stacks of reports……]

[Shut up, God of Time and Space! I’m working right now, so don’t interfere! The reports are over there!]

[You are just always, every single day, sla———— Unnn? Wait a minute, what did you just say?]

[I said, the d*mned reports are over there! Stop interfering and get the heck out of here!]

[……Eh?]

Hearing Fate’s words that were filled with irritation, Chronois looked at her with a puzzled expression on her face. Chronois currently had a dumbfounded look on her face that was unimaginable from the usual her…… which is something that couldn’t be helped.

With her eyes wide open, Chronois alternatively looked between Fate and the stacks of reports several times. Then, after gently holding one of the reports and checking it…… she spoke, looking somewhat pale.

[……U- Ummm, G- God of Fate? A- Are you alright? Y- You don’t seem to be doing well?]

[No! I’m just as usual!]

[I- I see…… Y- You see…… Y- You don’t have to be that caught up in it, okay? I- It’s not like you have to rush in doing it. I- I think you should take some breaks……]

Perhaps because she saw Fate so differently from her normal self, Chronois worriedly told her this. The fact that she even says “I think you should stop working……”, the exact opposite of what she usually says shows how shaken she is.

[Like I said! You’re a freaking hindrance! GET LOOOOOOST!!!]

[S- Sorry! I’ll be leaving then!!!]

Pushed back by Fate’s pressure, Chronois hurriedly ran out of Fate’s temple…… It would be some time before the confusion in her mind was cleared up.

Meanwhile, Fate, who was the cause of the confusion within her mind, kept on single-mindedly work…… and continuously whispered to herself.

[……T- That’s not it…… It’s not like…… I fell in love with Kai-chan…… or anything……]

She mumbled words of denial over and over again, but no matter how much she kept on looking away…… That which had sprouted within her heart will not disappear.

No, rather than disappearing…… Her feelings that had awakened after she became aware of it, seemed to grow with each of her denial……

? ? ? : [And so, the character who will play an important role in the final chapter, Fate-san’s route starts!]

Serious-senpai : [Don’t wannaaaaaa! I don’t like sweet thiiiiiiings!]

? ? ? : [However, please think about it. This means that Fate-san will be participating in the final battle “as Kaito’s only lover that is on the Gods’ side”, right? Doesn’t hearing it make you feel the hint of seriousness in it?]

Serious-senpai : [Ughhh……]
