Chapter 209: The two in the next (1/2)

“You are already fine right, Hibiki?”

“Yeah I only had an arrow pierced inof a deal Thanks for visiting ?”

Mio’s words were paused there, and a silence appeared between Hibiki and Mio ere alone in the room

“Yeah… Was his wound okay?” (Hibiki)

“So like that, it can be healed at the instant-desu wa More i a lot of ether with Waka-saht, you finally understood, right?” (Mio)

“I a around in the shadows you know, Mio-san But it is true that I have understood his strength, and that he has strength that even you would follow” (Hibiki)

Hibiki says these words as if biting theht, Hibiki had a bout with Makoto

Of course, it was only a bout for Hibiki, and it was clear that Makoto didn’t have the intention at all

In the end, it finished with Hibiki being unable to pass a single proper attack and was only able to cause a wound on the level of a scrape, and Makoto hit her in the shoulder with an arrow

Makoto’s surrender was made a draw by Hibiki, but for Hibiki, it wasn’t a draw nor a win, it was a losing fight

“That’s no good, Hibiki Leaving aside the fact that you have understood the power of Waka-sah you were the one that had us stay at the Hopelace territory ere on our way to the capital” (Mio)

“No way A part of the noblesinterference in the invitation we did to your Kuzunoha Company, and the visit to the Hopelace territory is a result of that In the point that I was unable to stop it, I do hold a part of the responsibility” (Hibiki)

“…Then, are you saying you don’t know anything about what happened there? That’s what you are trying to say, right?” (Mio)

“…Yes At leasthappen?” (Hibiki)

“Hibiki” (Mio)

“What is it, Mio-san?” (Hibiki)

“In our eyes, you, the royal fado to work as an escape route” (Mio)

“…”

Hibiki’s throat

“Investigate it So of that level is of no problem, but this will be a new debt for you” (Mio)

“…Understood” (Hibiki)

“And? Froht? I heard you are a genius that can do anything” (Mio)

“Wait, what is Makoto-kun putting in Mio-san’s head?” (Hibiki)

Hearing the words of Mio, Hibiki was taken by surprise for a second, and the tension fell from her face At the same time, she muttered a complaint to Makoto

“Haven’t you understood Waka-sama and the Kuzunoha Company already? Let me hear your point of view” (Mio)

“…”

“Go on Lately, I have been scattering a lot of hints, you know? If you don’t understand after all this, I can make it even easier to understand Maybe there’s the need to do so that no raved in those eyes of yours” (Mio)

“!!”

“Hibiki… What is Waka-saotten, as the answer you arrived at with that nice head of yours Tell me” (Mio)

Mio’s words reverberated coldly in the roo

Hibiki was hesitating about soht at Mio

“Raidou –Misumi Makoto-kun– is…” (Hibiki)

“…”

“The Devil He is the Devil hiuy that saved me in Limia” (Hibiki)

Hibiki’s low but confident words made Mio break a shing satisfied

“Nicely done That’s right, Waka-sauys And the master of the Kuzunoha Company” (Mio)

“I had an idea since before In the time at Meiris Lake it became even deeper, and at the mock battle, I was confident of it” (Hibiki)

“It orth having you acco that suit to the Reirl” (Mio)

“The new equipht? The SFX hero suit that the girl called Yuno Reht, it was a deliberate leak of information huh” (Hibiki)

“Of course I wanted you to arrive at the thought that Waka-sama is the Devil, and also the person that had saved you after all” (Mio)

“I was saved by hiht The first tirave injuries in his sacred body; the second tih But as a result, in both of them, Waka-sama saved you” (Mio)

“Yeah, that’s true” (Hibiki)

“Then show an attitude appropriate of your benefactor Looking at Waka-saht? He doesn’t wish for war The reason he saved you tas only because you are people from the same world” (Mio)

“…”

“Listen well, I won’t tell you to cooperate I a you to stop any sort of action that interferes with the Kuzunoha Coe you can detect, stop it Waka-saood to the people after all” (Mio)

What Mio said at the end made Hibiki’s brows narrow

“I wonder about that” (Hibiki)

“What did you say?” (Mio)

“As a cos at a cheap price But is that all he is trying to achieve in his actions?” (Hibiki)

Hibiki objected

That’s also so a part of Makoto, and if the Kuzunoha Company really only has those intentions, then there’s parts that contradict this from the way the company acts, that’s how she felt

“If it’s as Mio-san says, why does he increase his fighting power to that degree? If he wants to go on as a sih with just To fro The E about his ability when he was in the previous world, he should have been about the same as us or less And yet, he clearly has obtained an abnormal power different from ours” (Hibiki)

“Waka-sama was thrown into the border of the world It was a result brought by necessity” (Mio)

“Are you saying that that necessity won’t lead to war?! It is certainly true that I didn’t feel a doubts that maybe he has some sort of scheme” (Hibiki)

“You, even when you have spoken with Waka-sas?” (Mio)

“…I did talk with him However, th and way of thinking is just way too different from that of a person that was supposed to have been raised in modern japan, in a normal family I want to ask you this Mio-san, is it really okay for Makoto-kun to change like that?” (Hibiki)

“There’s no need for you to e as he sees fit, and if he wants to change, he can just do so I will simply follow hi is okay’” (Mio)

“…I still can’t answer you about hoill interact with the Kuzunoha Company and him” (Hibiki)

“…Hibiki” (Mio)

“There’s! There’s still time There’s also still tiht I ait for a bit more If you want to speak with Waka-sama for a bit ” (Mio)

“I understand” (Hibiki)

“Fuh~ What a pain By the way, Hibiki, you already know that I aht?” (Mio)

“That’s—!! Yes, I know I heard that you are the Black Calamity Spider So it was true” (Hibiki)

Mio suddenly reveals her identity to Hibiki

Hibiki who didn’t expect her to announce it in this tiitated, but she admitted it

“Fufufu, I am interested in what that priestess saw in Waka-sama, but I will leave that enjoy that preive you one piece of info” (Mio)

“Info?” (Hibiki)

“You said the power of Waka-sae had encountered me as a spider when he was merely teeks into this world” (Mio)

“?!”

“There will be gaps in power appearing between you and the Eaps may be 10 days worth or maybe one month, but from what I know, Waka-sama ca ht with Mio-san, no, with the Black Calaht it was iot used to battle and obtained trusty coht with the spider that had been in so many battles, the result would be obvious

“Yeah” (Mio)

“Ah…I see Toht?” (Hibiki)

Within the agitation, Hibiki remembers the order in which Makoto met his followers

In the past, Mio had told Hibiki that she ainst me” (Mio)

“No way” (Hibiki)

“He did receive some injuries, but he defeated me At that time, the Black Calamity Spider ceased to exist in this world” (Mio)

“Then, he had that crazy power since the beginning? Without any relation to the Goddess?” (Hibiki)

“Who knows Just that, Hibiki, I have practically no ated a bit to see…” (Mio)

“…”

It seems likeyou guys Since that tiap between Waka-sama and you has sihly about this truth” (Mio)

“…”

Hibiki was shoved the difference in power between her past self and Makoto

“Of course, by the time we are in this country, that is” (Mio)

Just like how she came in, Mio melts into the darkness and disappears

Hibiki as left there, still didn’t ’, those words of Mio were echoing in her head

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

“H the matter, Boss?” (Lime)

“You know, Lime” (Makoto)

“Yes?” (Lime)

“Can you attack me for a bit? It is fine to not hold back” (Makoto)

“…Yes?” (Li the hand that Mio healed, I was pondering so

Since Liht ti, but well, he did a predictable reaction

“No you see, last night I did a friendly match with Hibiki-senpai, or ht?” (Makoto)

“Yeah…” (Lime)

“Honestly, I had already seen what Senpai could do at Meiris Lake, and it was mostly what I had expected, but…” (Makoto)

“But, what?” (Lime)

“How to say it, fro In terms of defense, I didn’t doso Just that, in truth, I don’t have an accurate idea of the current state ofthat you didn’t putto what I said in the beginning, I ondering ould happen if it was an attack of Liive it one attack” (Makoto)

“W-We are doing it here?!” (Lihtly injured, we can just wait for Mio to coht wound, I can just have Lih the trouble of going outside and gathering attention

Maybe Li, he orried for a bit, and then took his katana in hand

“…I really a back, okay? Even so, I don’t think it will reach the level of Hibiki though” (Lime)

“You don’t have to ht? Even if so about it, so just concentrate in giving your best attack” (Makoto)

“You will do a follow-up for Mio-neesan, right?” (Lio asking her to save me” (Makoto)
