Chapter 452: Brushing Sleeves… (2/2)

“Have you slept with Tomoe already?” (Tomoki)

Pft?!

That was the ht be how talks hen drinking between e student or a working person already after all

I think it is an age where talking about silly stuff is still allowed though

“…”

“Oi, you listening?” (To well” (Makoto)

“…I see That’s great to hear” (To? It is not like you are drunk” (Makoto)

“It is unfair that I a questioned here Also, that’s about as much as I am interested in you anyway, so I asked without restraint” (Tomoki)

“At any rate, that woave me the impression that she was the very picture of an amazon, so this is unexpected” (To

Even when drinking strong alcohol, his pace wasn’t declining

Tomoki is a heavy drinker, huh

Moreover, noon the drink, he would drink it straight or add a bit of water I feel like it would be tastier if he were to use hot water for the water split though

“For Tomoe, it is as I have said before Don’t ever think about putting a hand on her again” (Makoto)

That said, I a him what I want to tell him

It would be troubleso here

“I don’t have such ti with the demons” (Tomoki)

“That’s no answ—” (Makoto)

“I a for a stone” (Tomoki)

“?” (Makoto)

“You wanted to know the reason why I went through the trouble of co for a stone” (Tomoki)

“A stone?” (Makoto)

“Of course, it is not just any stone There’s apparently a stone just for me” (Tomoki)

“A stone just for you…huh The type used by Heroes…?” (Makoto)

Searching for a special stone?

A stone for heroes?

Aah, so that’s why he was asking for the ard Acades that are normally not in exhibition after all

But why now?

“Yeah This story goes back to a time a bit before the oracle We can’t underestimate the power of the demons She told me to find the Protection Stone and put it on in case so happens” (Tomoki)

Protection stone

A word I haven’t heard from Hibiki-senpai either

Oracle, huh

Meaning that it was a direct e from the Goddess

It is not the result of so

…?

Oracle

Oracle?!

From the Goddess?!

Wait ait

When I met Senpai at Limia, she said that there was barely any communication with the Goddess and she didn’t knohat she was thinking!

That’s why Senpai held suspicions of the Goddess

I also agree with that

Wait, that’s not it

What’s going on?

Senpai lied tocontact with them that often?

“Tomoki, uhm…was that oracle from the Godd—” (Makoto)

“Who else would there be? Makoto, if I reh up in the reht? I have heard that your company is pretty influential here as well I don’t ather them within a few days Of course I will pay for your troubles, and I will buy the ones I will be taking separately It is in for you” (Tomoki)

Tomoki affirmed the existence of the oracle as if it were obvious

As if it were a co the oracles, or was Senpai lying to me?

I don’t know yet

I need to accept Tomoki’s request, even if only on the surface

I have to ask about the oracle in as much detail as possible

I honestly don’t kno to tell what’s a Protection Stone, so I have no choice but to just gather stones with ic tools that apply to this

“Stones, huh Got it I will try to get as uild here too Is it okay to bring out your name as a hero too?” (Makoto)

“I don’t otten If I am to cooperate with you, in the time when you are here, don’t you use your Charot it” (Tomoki)

“Also…” (Makoto)

“There’s still lass as if saying ‘let ’

“I have barely heard about the oracles of the Goddess How are they normally? What kind of topics does that Goddess talk about?” (Makoto)

“That’s what it was? Or more like, the topics are truly thin, you know?” (To that, Tomoki spoke about the oracles of the Goddess

This is beyond light

Even though they are oracles

Is this because it is Tomoki? Or did I underestimate Tomoki a bit too much?

But…

I didn’t expect that this would be a night of surprises

The details of the oracles he was talking about were shocking

…And I ended up respecting Tomoki a bit
