「Thank you indeed, but Aki-han is more fantastic」

「Nahhh, I’m normal, normal. More importantly……Uhh, what’s your name」

「I am Hera-chan. Hera or Chan is also fine」

「But you’re totally the fabulous one here, Hera-chan. I mean, you’re a fairy. You are totally a fairy」

「Thank you indeed, but I still think that you are the fantastic one, Aki-han」

The girl and the fairy were meeting for the first time and had already hit it off big time.

「That’s craaazy. I had no idea fairies existed in this world. Hey, can I touch you？」

「You sure caaan」

「Ooo, you’re soft and warm like everyone else」

「That is because I am a fairy」

「Ohhh. Hey hey, what’s up with these wings? One of them is in tatters」

「Taiyou did that. Domestic violence is the testament of one’s looove」

「Fantastic！」

「How the hell is that fantastic！」

Taiyou immediately retorted.

This incoherent, unpredictable phrase.「Fantastic」.

He felt like she had reverted back to when they had met.

Akiha and Hera. The two of them had hit it off before he knew it and were getting along.

As if they had been best friends for a decade.

「……Can I have a moment？」

「Hm？ Ahh sorry sorry, what was it again」

「These things」

Taiyou took out the rubber rings, showing himself tying and untying them.

「Yeah yeah, I remember now. So uhh, how are those related to Hera-chan？」

「To make a long story short, doing pointless tasks helps me level up and actually get stronger ability-wise」

「Ability？」

「Hera」

「Yes indeed」

Hera answered, twirling around in the air.

「Ooo, there are…numbers?」

「Ever played a game？ Same idea. That’s my current power level in numerics」

「Whoaaa」

「And you can see her anytime now, by the way. When you wanna see her, you sorta have to look 『between your back teeth and eyeballs』」

「Let’s see let’s see……Wow you’re right, came right back!」

「And that’s that」

「Wow, okay, didn’t know」

「Indeed」

「Amaziiing. Hey, can I do that too? The level up thing」

「I am indeed sorry, but since I only belong to Taiyou-chan…」

「Aww, too bad」

Despite saying it like that, Akiha didn’t look too displeased.

Seeing at how quick she was to adapt, Taiyou felt like he had truly met her past self again.

Because she hadn’t been so focused on Aoba until recently.

「But okay, yeah, I get it」

Akiha said after laughing.

「Then you could’ve just called it training. Leveling up is too indirect of an explanation」

「Then you wouldn’t understand, silly. Calling the act of tying and untying rubber rings “training” doesn’t exactly sound right either」

「Yup, I dunno」

「Oi oi」
