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

[Kuro!? Are you alright!?]

Seeing half of Kuro's body had turned into a black mist, I intuitively knew that she didn't have enough strength left to maintain her usual form, so I ran over to her.

[……U- Unnn. Somehow…… Rather than saying that she's twice as strong as usual…… It's surprising, but it seems that in our usual fights, Earth God was ”holding back so as not to kill me”.]

Speaking in a voice that showed great fatigue, Kuro slowly regenerated her body as she sat up.

[But this time, rather than saying that she's really trying to kill me…… She isn't trying to dodge any of my attacks, and kept attacking me while regenerating her body at super speed, so I was really brought to the edge…… But I somehow won.]

[I- I see…… Thanks.]

[Ahaha, you're welcome.]

Relieved to know that Kuro-san was safe for the time being, I turned to Eden-san…… Half of her wings were burned off and various parts of her body were tattered, but she slowly got up, pushing her body up the ground.

[……For just this one, I thank you, God's half-body. I love my child so much that I've lost all sense of reason…… This is my fault.]

[U- Unnn. I mean, your state earlier was so surprising that I also couldn't believe it…… Could it be that you usually were restraining yourself back?]

[Of course. Excessive love could be heavy…… If I don't keep my expression of love in moderation, I will scare my child.]

[ [ ………………. ] ]

Kuro and I looked at each other in silence as Eden-san casually said this. What does the word moderation mean again? Does it have a different meaning in a God's world?

But apparently, it was true that she usually restrained herself and that she really didn't intend to do anything this time, as Eden-san bowed her head and apologized to Kuro, whom she should have hated as her sworn enemy.

[I'm also sorry for scaring you, my child.]

[Ah, n- no, it's not like anything actually happened…… Rather, is the way you were talking just now your original personality?]

[That's difficult to answer. However, let's see……. You can just think that the tone I had just now means that ”I wasn't in a calm state”. If I become like this, please call that God's half-body or Shallow Vernal, because I might ignore my child's will and put my own desires as my foremost priority.]

Putting aside whether Eden-san is usually calm or not, it seems that Eden-san doesn't really want to be in that state.

I mean, perhaps because I've seen that state of hers…… Even though she's usually quite outrageous with her actions, knowing that she wants to respect my will makes me think that she's a decent person.

W- Well, anyway…… seeing a new side, or rather, a scary side of Eden-san…… I'm just glad that this matter has been safely settled.

The one thing I'm worried about…… is that Eden-san talked about ”how when she's in that state”, which means that she's assuming that I may continue to face her frightening self in the future.

<Afterword>

Now that the author's madness has finally been cleared up, we'll return to the main story in the next chapter.

~ ~ New Form Explanation ~ ~

・ Mama Eden 【Makina (Reason Collapse) Mode】

Her default form is the Yandere Mama form, her form that swings towards insanity. It appears when her love for Kaito has increased to the point that her reasoning is destroyed.

In her normal state, she may be a Yandere, but she will still have the bare minimum of reasoning that ”puts Kaito's will above anything else”, but when she enters this mode, she prioritizes her own desires (to love Kaito), which is quite dangerous.

She completely becomes a berserker, whose limiter is blown out of her mind and body, facing a battle where she exerts to eliminate her opponents without care about the damage she receives.

She usually recognizes Kuro as ”Kaito's important person”, and fights her with the intention of defeating her rather than killing her, but when she enters this mode, she is completely determined to kill her.

This mode of her was so dangerous that all who saw this state makes the onlooker think that the usual Mama Eden is actually a pretty decent person.

Serious-senpai : [……As her former friend, a commentary if you will.]

? ? ? : [I mean, it's that, right? Showing your true form means you're in a state where ”you're not holding back” anymore, right? Also, please don't push the topic to me. I've already given up on her just when we met again……]

Serious-senpai : [Makina Mode really is straight out of horror movies.]
