Chapter 254: Natsuno / Reality and Miracles (2/2)

A voice had sounded in his head, light had come out from the game systems, and it had accumulated to form Hera.

That linked with his dream.

Unpleasant thoughts ran across Taiyou’s mind.

Unrealistic miracle.

Hera was a miraculous creation to Taiyou.

This can’t be――he thought.

At that moment.

「Taiyou-chan Taiyou-chan――Oho, you are awake！」

The miracle showed up like usual.

It was so normal that it felt like his strong emotions from earlier had gone to waste.

If this were a comedy, then this would be where Taiyou made a fool of himself and the audience below the stage roared with laughter.

「You little……」

「Hm？ What is wrong？」

「Nah, nothing」

Taiyou said nothing.

Hera did nothing wrong. He was the one who had seen the dream.

The level fairy before him had done nothing wrong.

That was why he had swallowed everything he meant to say.

「So what’s up? You came in quite boisterously」

Taiyou lowered his voice.

This was out of consideration for the girls who were still asleep.

「Well you see, you see, Yami-chan is super interesting」

「Well yeah, that’s always the case for her」

In many ways, added Taiyou.

「She is even more interesting right now. You should see for yourself」

「Yeah, but look」

「And guess what guess what, I indeed think she is full of openings」

「Huh-」

Taiyou reacted as soon as he heard “full of openings”.

Defeat Shirokiyami and get her. This was like life and death to him, so he couldn’t just ignore what she had said.

「Seriously？」

「That’s how it looks to me」

「I see……however」

「Why don’t you go？」

Someone said to Taiyou as he hesitated.

Clear-headed words coming from within his arms.

It was Youran’s voice from her usual twintail mode, though she didn’t currently look that way.

Once he looked at her, their eyes met.

Then he realized.

That not just Youran, but everyone was awake.

Kotone, Suzune, Kazane, Kohaku, Aoba.

Just like Youran, their eyes were open and they were gazing at him.

「You guys were awake?」

「Well yeah. But hurry up. I doubt that Shirokiyami would have that many openings, but this might also be the chance of a lifetime」

「Indeed」

「Right now, Taiyou-san」

「I think you might have a chance in this instant」

The girls spoke, urging Taiyou.

Brides one through four were all telling him to go get the seventh.

What a bizarre relationship.

「But, is it guaranteed?」

「Haah？ The heck are you saying」

「No, it’s nothing」

Taiyou shook his head, getting up.

Not feeling dejected in the slightest, they also moved away from him.

「Then, I’ll be back」

Taiyou said, leaving the room alongside Hera.

With the guidance of the fairy, they moved along the hallway.

Looking at her ahead, Taiyou “made sure” of something.

「Hey, you won’t disappear, right?」

「What indeed？」

「I asked if you won’t disappear」

「I cannot be killed by anyone other than Taiyou-chan. Not a young master, not an exorcist, not Yami-chan. Nobody else can kill me, indeedー」

「Guaranteed？」

「Yes indeed」

Hera answered promptly.

Without any hesitation.

「Yeah? Good」

Good.

Taiyou truly felt that.

She was not absolute. She was a miracle.

But even in the miracle exists the absolute.

That was already enough for Taiyou.

Taiyou concluded this by pushing this slight anxiety “to the bottom of his heart”.
