Chapter 648: Although The World Isnt His Ally...... (2/2)

Arehh? Did Erina forget to turn the heater on? It kinda feels cold……

[Kaito-san, your cup is empty. Would you like a beer?]

[Ahh, Riri-senpai. Sorry, thanks.]

[No, thank you very much for inviting me here today.]

[……Well, the organizer was actually  Alyssa, and the venue was provided by Erina.]

The soft-spoken Riri-senpai gives the impression of an elegant ojou-sama. Well, unlike how she acts, she's actually really strong in kendo, and she's also a bit of a klutz…… but those aspects of hers were also part of her charm.

Just like that, I ate my food while chatting with Riri-senpai and Fae-san, and as other people joined in along the way, we spent a lively and enjoyable Christmas.

His—– Miyama Kaito's days were truly fulfilling. He had a mother, a father, a group of good friends…… and a girl he was interested in.

He was so happy and his everyday life is fulfilling…… an environment in which one should be able to say with pride that they are happy.

However, the anxiety that was rising in his heart didn't disappear, and instead, seemed to be growing day by day.

[………………….]

What lies before Kaito's eyes as he seemed to be thinking about things is a calendar. A defective calendar that only tells the date of the year until December 30th.

The X's that were the sign of the passing of the day were marked until the ”29th”. While looking at that calendar, Kaito put his hand on his head, as if to endure a headache.

Looking at this calendar, he couldn't help but feel anxious…… but he doesn't know the cause of it.

He—– Miyama Kaito…… has been very lucky…… grasping miracles by his own hands…… when he was in a world called Trinia. It may have been because of his personality, or perhaps, his destiny may have some hand in this matter…… but more than anything, it was due to ”Shallow Vernal's blessing”.

A person who is blessed by Shallow Vernal, the world's God, is loved by the world itself. Especially when it came to things involving the element of luck, the effect of this blessing was quite tremendous.

Yes, his overwhelming good luck…… had been brought about by the blessing of the world.

But now, in this place, he doesn't have Shallow Vernal's blessing. The world isn't his ally here. Therefore, in this space, he doesn't have the good luck he had before, and miracles don't come out of the blue.

Yes, now, at this moment…… He is not the one loved by the world, but the enemy who was challenging the world's God.

[……Eh? What…… is this?]

Hearing the sound of something clanging, Kaito murmured and turned his gaze in that direction. What was in there was…… ”a necklace with a black, uniquely shaped crystal”…… that seemed to have fallen from his chest.

However, Kaito doesn't know about this necklace. He doesn't even remember where he got it…… However, feeling really drawn to it for some reason, he reached out towards it.

……In this space, the world isn't his ally.

But even if that's so————- ”Fate” is on his side.

That blessing that was only given to him with her love————- had defied the world, creating a small one-time miracle.

The gears finally started moving. And soon————— ”the second part of the ordeal” began.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……Seriously? That was a foreshadowing!? That isn't just some declaration of how head-over-heels she is to him!?]

? ? ? : [Actually, yes. Kaito-san had received one more blessing in addition to Shallow Vernal-sama's blessing. So, even though Shallow Vernal-sama's blessing was temporarily released, that blessing still remained…… The Blessing of Fate.]

Serious-senpai : [……It's coming, the serious development!]
