Chapter 616: I Think Its Thanks to Her Blessing (1/2)

The place Fate-san brought me was her temple, a place I had visited several times before. I've never really taken the time to look around her temple, but the large room, with its beautifully decorated pillars, had a sacred atmosphere to it.

[……Errr, Fate-san? Why are we here?]

[For the atmosphere, I guess? I thought that, as expected, if we're going to do ”that”, this would be a good place for it.]

[”That”…… what do you mean?]

[Errr, well, it doesn't really mean anything but…… I have a present for Kai-chan.]

[A present?]

When I tilted my head at Fate-san's words, she slightly smiled, and letting go of my arm, I walked to the far end of her temple…… to an area where there is something that looks like an altar.

She then looked at me straight in the eye from a higher vantage point, smiled and spoke.

[By my name———– By the name of Fate———– I tell the revolving fate.]

[ ! ? ]

A voice full of dignity echoed in the hall…… containing words that I think I've heard twice before. Could this be……

[That this person———– Miyama Kaito———– is one I acknowledge worthy of my blessing.]

The first time I heard it was when I met Shiro-san, and the second time was at a party at the royal castle I attended with Lilia-san. They were words that held very important meaning for the Gods.

[Therefore———– By my name———– By the name of Fate———– I command the fate.]

Fate-san's appearance as she announced this, releasing a huge amount of magic power, combined with the atmosphere of the temple, looks very divine. However, her expression was filled with tenderness that seemed to envelop me.

[Oh, Revolving Fate———– Become the guiding wind and push his back forward———– Lead him to a blessed future———– By my name———– By the name of Fate———–]

Up to this point, it was the same as what Chronois-san had said to Lilia-san. However, Fate-san paused for a moment, before she continued with a dazzling smile on her face.

[———–I command———– That this one's name———– That the name of Miyama Kaito———–As ”my beloved”———– To be inscribed in fate———– in conjunction with my name.]

With those words, dazzling lights began dancing around my body and started gathering together.

[It doesn't have much use for Kai-chan, who has received Shallow Vernal-sama's blessing…… But even if that's so, I want you to accept it. To Kai-chan, who accepted my feelings and this contradictory heart of mine in its entirety———– Filled with my overflowing love———– I wish for a blessed future for Kai-chan———– And thus, I give it to the one and only you———– The blessing of fate.]

The converging light was then absorbed into my body and I felt warmth fill my heart. I see, this really is the best present I could have gotten.

As I was so happy with Fate-san's feelings that I was lost for words…… Fate-san got off the altar and walked towards me, and with her blushing face turned down, she hugged my arm again.

[……Ahh, this is insanely embarrassing……]

[Errr, ummm, Fate-san. Thank you. It makes me feel very happy.]

[U- Unnn. I- If you're happy about it…… I'm happy too. T- Then, how about…… we continue our date?]
