Chapter 274 – Winning Conditions / Wings of Ligh (2/2)

Taiyou asked, and Youran also.

For some reason, Hera, who had just appeared, was red faced.

It was so red the two realized they had never seen her like this.

「I’m fine. This is just a sunburn, desu.」

「How the hell did that happen? It’s night?」

「Okay, moon burn…Shingetsu (new moon) is here so it fits, desu.」

「Shingetsu being here isn’t going to make your face red.」

「Anyway, I’m okay, desu.」

「Hmph, okay then.」

Hera responded, and Taiyou agreed.

Her face was still red, but the way she talked was her usual.

At her worst she had an annoying high spirit to her, and that hadn’t changed about her at all.

Either way, Taiyou decided to ignore it.

「Well, since I’ve leveled up…」

「Yes, desu. Your skill, what shall you do? Deal with status? Skill? Or Youran?」

「Why me?」

「A double meaning, that 「me」…it’s impossible for him to level up on you, I mean other than the fact he’s already gotten his stuff all over you…」

「Stop…that’s enough. I’ll take status and and check it later. I don’t think there’ll be a big change. But tell me what skill I get.」

「Sure, desu. This time you can choose from three, desu.」

「I bet the three will be the same this time too.」

「That would be correct…plewwwhh!」

Hera was answering him when he slapped her across the room.

「Listen, if there’s only one then just tell me.」

「Okay, desu, you get the skill 『Seven Wings』, desu.」

「Seven Wings.」

「That’s a pretty direct name, just hearing it and you can imagine what it is.」

「Yeah, something with a relation to you girls, like the 『idol image』thing.」

Youran and Taiyou nodded to each other.

Since they had an example to speak about, they could speak theoretically about it, so they were quickly able to imagine the skill Taiyou received.

If they thought about the name itself, and looked at Hera as they spoke, they knew there was no doubt as the little fairy floated smiling back at them.

「So, what happens?」

「It’s easy, you can imagine it in your mind. Since Youran is next to you now…imagine that Youran was riding on your shoulders.」

「Hmp.」

Taiyou nodded, and closed his eyes so he could imagine better.

Then just as he was told the image arrived in his mind. Youran on his shoulders, an image of her on his right shoulder.

「Just like that.」

Hearing Youran’s voice, he opened his eyes.

She was already looking at his back, and looking at where she was, he turned to look behind him.

There were white, shimmering wings there.

Like the wings of a swan, godlike-bright, layered wings.

It was a far better skill than Taiyou had imagined.

「Just like that.」

He and Youran said the same thing together.
