Chapter 721: Summer Extra Chapter 「Two Days and One Night! Journey to the Sea of Stars (with Eden) 」③ (1/2)

I wonder how I can describe this feeling? It's not just a chill running down my spine. It was as if my entire back had frozen over…… It was a chill so cold that I'm even in pain.

Timidly turning towards the source of that chill…… I became completely petrified.

[Ahh, how precious. My precious beloved child…… I want to shower you in love! So much love……!]

I guess this is what it means to be a frog to be stared at by a snake. In just a short time, Eden-san's condition had suddenly changed.

Her mouth arched in such a way that I wondered if a smile could ever look so insane, and even the light behind her eyes had completely disappeared.

[Haahhh~~ Hearing that my child wants to be spoiled makes me soooooo happy. My child really is happier when he's with meeeeeee.]

[E- E…… den…… -san?]

[I desired this…… I want to love my child's everything. Yes, that's right! This is also my child's happiness! Fufu…… Fufufufufu!]

[Hyiiiih!?]

Feeling too much fear that my body involuntarily backed away, I remembered about the conversation I had with Eden-san when we first came to this planet…… that unbelievable story of how Eden-san was apparently usually restraining herself.

I thought that what she said wasn't possible…… but I never expected…… that there really was something worse than that!?

[Heeey~~ Come over, my beloved chiiiiiild! I will give you lots and lots of love. I will give my precious, oh so precious child lots of hugs. I'll also clean up your whole body. That's right! While we're at it, let me lick your whole body clean. Don't worry. I'm a God, a being that doesn't have germs. I can really clean up your everything! Every nook and cranny of your body!!!]

[…………………….]

The dialogue isn't overwhelmingly long like her usual rambles, but the insanity contained in it is incomparable to before. I mean, her smile looked so broken that it's too scary!

[Hey? My beloved chiiiild……]

[Y- Yeeeesh!?]

[Why…… are you ”backing away”?]

[ ! ? ]

[Ahh, I seeee~~ You wanted to tease meeee. Geez, what a mischievous child you areeeee~~ Fufufu, I guess that's right! We play chase when one is at a sandy beach, right!? I see, that's what my child wants to play!]

[N- No, that is…… Wha!?]

This won't do, she's too scary! Even though my whole body, my instincts, are screaming at me to get out of here, I'm so terrified that my body won't move.

While I was sweating profusely, a flash of black light flashed before my eyes and a huge cloud of dust rose up.

As I was stunned by what was going on, a little while later, the smoke cleared up…… I saw Kuro with her fist held out and Eden-san catching it.

[……Whyyyy are you interferiiiiiiing?]

[W- Wait, Kaito-kun!? What the heck is this situation!? Doesn't Earth God look far worse than usual!?]

[……I want to know how this happened too.]

Kuro, who seemed to have rushed to the scene after sensing the abnormality, seemed to be surprised by Eden-san's condition. After a few moments of silence, Eden-san released Kuro's fist from her grip…… and spoke with a voice that sounded as if it were echoing from the depths of hell.

[……You're interferiiiiing my date with my child……?]

[For the time being, can you calm down for a bit? With you like this, talking is……]

[Hindrance…… Hindrance…… Hindrancehindrancehindrancehindrancehindrancehindrance…… All of you hindrances interfering between me and my child, disappear!!! DISAPPEAR FROM THIS WORLD!!!]

[Guhhh…… You!]

After warding off Eden-san's voice filled with insanity, Kuro moved her hand and a jet-black dome enveloped them.

Immediately after that, the entire planet shook with a thunderous roar.

I don't know how much time passed, but after several large earthquakes tremored…… The jet-black dome disappeared, revealing the two of them…… both fallen on the ground.
