Arifureta Chapter 149 (1/2)

The Last Age of the God Magic

“It seeo”

“Wa, wait, wait! If Kouki-kun is not healed…”

Haji Kouki who had fainted and was spread-eagled with the white of his eyes exposed Kaori stopped hi towards Kouki in a panic It see

When Kaori exaed than his appearance suggested On top of using the derivative of ‘Li period, Kouki also took in the reddish black ic monster-like power into his body and then further raised his specs forcefully

As the result, just like Hajime who once ate the flesh and blood of monster and experienced the breakdown of his body, atrocious dahout Kouki’s body Also because Kouki even took in the rejection of his negative eed fronore

With regeneration ic, if it was Kaori, then she could immediately heal Kouki’s body Even so, it was a delicate work that couldn’t fail, so Kaori wanted a bit of tie to Kouki’s mind couldn’t be seen by eyes, it needed to be treated evenfailed and Kouki opened his eyes only to beca else, that would also be troubling

However, toward Kaori, Haji to hide his reluctant expression

“… Spareas he is not dead, right? Just make him faint for a while”

“Eh? Why… aa, yes, it’s better like that, I guess?”

For a uessed Haji and froith a troubled look

“Oi Nagumo, I understand that you cannot stomach Kouki but… you see…”

“Nagumo-kun…”

In contrast, Ryuutaro and Suzu thought that Hajime said that because he didn’t think well of Kouki However, after they looked at Kouki’s appearance just now, they couldn’t protest strongly So, as expected, they made a weak and troubled expression

shi+zuku looked sad soness to aid Kouki’s recovery, but it was directed at Kouki himself The current appearance of her childhood friend that had been like family since they were still children was just really really sad

Haji lost for words still sent hi looks for Kouki’s recovery He thenjust how troubleso even a bit of hostility and pointed to Kouki while speaking his mind

“You guys, just think of how troublesome it will be after that over there is healed completely”

“Troublesome? … ah”

“Looks like Taniguchi understands, huh? Listen well Aawa couldn’t clear this trial He averted his eyes fro at e And so…”

“It will be just like now again, won’t it…”

“That’s how it is Well, just noas also because of his false ie’s influence and also his bad habit of convenient interpretation spurring hiht away, but…”

Hajime dropped his eyes on the co

“The deepest part is just close Maybe this is the last trial already, but I cannot say for sure that there is anything else ahead There is nothinghappens”

“… Haa, be grateful that he still has his life, that’s it, huh”

Even Ryuutaro sighed deeply while nodding “Can’t be helped” at Hajime’s words And then siaze at Kouki

Beside Ryuutaro and shi+zuku, Yue directed a gaze as though looking at a trash and whispered to herself

“… Rather, it’s better to just leave him alone here”

“No, no, Yue-san Rather let’s deal the finishi+ng blow”

“The two of thou… it’s not like I don’t understand the feeling but restrain thyself The hero is dealt with a night intent like that on him, see”

shi+a whispered even an to tap Doryukken on her shoulder Her gaze was exactly like a certain person with self-employed profession and arrow attached to the head (TN: Don’t knohat reference this is) With an expression that couldn’t say anything, Tio looked at Kouki as beginning to groan “uu” while trickling cold sweat Perhaps he was attacked by a neck reaper rabbit and a vampire inside his dream

It see called without honorific and Kouki’s vilification of Hajime

Hajime was exasperated even while his cheeks loosened happily towards Yue and shi+a And then he approached the side of the two and put his hands on their shoulders to soothe theuessed that those hands were stopping them Their expression became a little dissatisfied

“Hold back just like Tio said If not, then there is nohim live”

“Muu… if that’s what Hajime says”

“You are keeping your life, for now, damn hero”

As expected, shi+a was a little black

Both of thehted Haji her cheek at Haji her cheek on Hajime’s chest silently with her eyes closed pleasantly Her rabbit ears were flopping wassa wassa, and her rabbit tail was happily shaking furi furi

Various things happened with both of them, so their break didn’t work now that they were reunited with Hajime as they completely behaved like a spoiled child Inside their heads sounded so like “Aa, I’m healed (desuu)” (TN: The desu refer to shi+a She usually talks politely and has desu attached on her sentence)

Yue and shi+a clung at Haji to absorb Hajiuessed “They are acting really spoiled huh, did so happen?” And then with a smile that was dyed with happiness soly The two embraced Hajime happily even further It was the invocation of super pink space It was fifty percent more than usual

Being hit by that pink color, Tio approached unsteadily She put her finger on her lips longingly and looked at Hajiesture that really tickled a man’s heart

Tio was also an ie In this labyrinth that was burdening the ly, surely Tio was also exhausted, Hajiaze…

“Annoying Don’t look over here”

“-!? Haa haa, an attack that coa little”

A pervert that felt it even when she understood that it was no good She e at each other fidgetingly However, it was also her true feeling of wanting to be added to the circle similar to Yue and shi+a, so her eyes were a little teary

Looking at such a Tio, Haji that it couldn’t be helped, his hand beckoned ‘here here’ I child and rushed at Hajime’s back with a wide smile

Dropping down and then raising up… Hajime as able to naturally use the carrot and stick properly was in enough possession of the factor to be a pervert’s h the person would surely deny that vehemently

The pink space that thickened, even h they were going to puke sugar But ahead of their gaze was another factor that lances at Hajime and co with an impatient look

“Uu, I got a late start… The healing is… it’s fine already with this yep! Hajime-kun!”

“Eh? Wait Kaori! That last thing, it felt like so really irresponsible…”

Kaori who treated Kouki until there was no danger to his life, in the end, went “Ei!” and threw a healing light at Kouki, and then leapt at the pink space of Haji that was bri with irresponsibleness twitched He looked a little pitiful

Kaori was rushi+ng with a pitter-patter and tried to hug Haji, but she received nonchalant obstruction from Yue A pebble of as shot with God speed and aied that just with a light shake of her head and embraced the arm of Hajime beside Yue

Naturally, the sensation of the ar face that only looked like it was s was directed at Kaori Kaori too returned a s?” Just like usual, phantolared at each other froe

A low-teether with the pink space, Ryuutaro and Suzu averted their eyes with differentthis time Inside such an atmosphere, it was only shi+zuku who for thehad returned to nor norer to his life she sighed in relieve

“Ryuutaro Can you carry Kouki?”

“No prob… So, it’s only Kouki who is no good He is going to be down, huh”

“That’s… but, it’s also still unclear whether Suzu and you two passed… Besides! As long as we are alive we can take the challenge no matter how many times!”

“That’s true… He did a really stupid thing but, if he is alive I can also wallop hio ‘one more time’, then I’ll accompany him till the end Just like usual”

“Yep yep!”

The expression of Ryuutaro who carried Kouki clouded while thinking of Kouki Suzu was also alht by thatact and livened up their feelings Ryuutaro irin of sympathy too

shi+zuku stared at those tith a smile Her look was exactly like a mother…

Although, she wasn’t that shi+zuku who only kept wracking her brain for her surrounding and concealed her e by only acceptance without even realizing it herself

Therefore, she directed a gaze that was filled with extraordinary heat without hiding it toward Hajiirls and woaze was Tio “Oho?” She tilted her head like that while looking at shi+zuku observingly Yue and Kaori were constraining each other while shi+a was busy inter the two so they still weren’t in the state to notice

shi+zuku put her hand on her chest to affir she realized from the trial and her new deterh to grasp souessed as inside shi+zuku’s heart

“I say… fufu Do your best, I guess I have to say that here”

“Aa? What did you say?”

“Oh, er support for ahabit there”

Hearing the whisper of Tio as e him from behind, Hajime asked back with a doubtful look, and then such ansas returned to him

For awhat thatat the beyond when he looked over his shoulder, and then he understood when ahead of Tio’s gaze he saw shi+zuku as encouraging herself After all, Hajime heard that extremely nonchalant confession of shi+zuku to him There was no way he didn’t understand

“… Oi oi, don’t tell me”

The cheeks of shi+zuku whose eyes met Hajime’s were quickly dyed crimson, the next moment she approached with a determined expression Suzu and Ryuutaro who shouldered Kouki who had no way to guess as inside shi+zuku’s heart followed her

And then at the side where shi+a was hugging――the spot that faced at Kaori, shi+zuku stopped her feet Her position was excessively close with Hajilued at Haji shi+a’s waist

With shi+zuku, that close, the members other than Tio also noticed shi+zuku’s state “Mu?” They directed her fishy look

For a moment, shi+zuku’s eyes met Kaori’s At that moment, Kaori discerned shi+zuku’s heart because she was her best friend and her eyes opened wide Although it wasn’t because of the feeling that shi+zuku harbored, but it was because she was surprised at shi+zuku’s state that didn’t even try to hide it

During that tiaze returned to Haji lips

“Nagu Kouki”

“I just punched hih?”

“You didn’t kill hiht? It’s for Kaori and a bit for me About twenty-percent, isn’t it?”

“… Well, so like that”

‘Fufu’ shi+zuku sue of the two that connected with each other somehow, Yue mumbled “mumu-“, shi+a leaked a murmur of “Aa, is it, finally?” in realization And then Kaori, she didn’t really say anything, she was aze

“Really, when you say that you will protect, you will protect even the heart, don’t you?”

“There is a line even in ”

“I know that But, I, we don’t lose our childhood friend in the end He is really a troubling guy in various things, a big idiot that displayed that kind of disgraceful behavior but… but, even so, he is still like a family”

Toward shi+zuku as showing eyes where sadness and gratitude were entangled, Hajied his shoulders with an expression that couldn’t say anything If he had to speak honestly, he wanted to just kill Kouki with a snap also for the sake of severing the potential trouble in the future (it was doubtful whether it would happen or not though), but looking at shi+zuku right now, also at Kaori’s expression, he could think that letting Kouki live was the right thing

At the very least, cohtmare of the childhood friend they were raised with killed by the ht in front their eyes in this world far away froht bring wasn’t anything big, Hajith of shi+zuku’s feeling who could still feel sad even after looking at that figure of Kouki, “As expected fro such a feeling of half admiration and half exasperation

No, even Ryuutaro and Suzu, it would be a lie if they said that they weren’t disillusioned at all, but even so, their feeling of sadness was the biggest feeling This showed just how s had piled up between them until now

If it was the people who didn’t have a strong relationshi+p with Kouki―for exadom or the ladies that favored Kouki, there was no doubt they would be easily disillusioned and turned away In the relationshi+p of these childhood friends, there was a deep bond that was ree that could be said as ‘the same like family’

(If Yaegashi+ is the awa is just like a difficult child huh…)

Without even guessing that Haji a little impolite i eyes while listening to the sound of her heartbeat that was rapidly heightening froentle and soft s

It was as though she was pushi+ng from behind at shi+zuku’s deter yell froly while feeling a deep emotion where she wanted to cry out very much, she nodded a little And then, once ht scald the person that was looked, and she spun her words

“… It was the first time I relied on someone like that, but it felt really pleasant Thank you for that too”

“… Even though you threatened me easily”

The redness that dyed shi+zuku’s cheeks deepened What she said about relying on wasn’t about having Haji her relieved that she could entrust her heart to him That she could be fast asleep even with thunderous sounds raging was a good proof And to go as far as calling that ‘pleasant’, certainly it couldn’t be helped that she became red

The gap with her nornified at, even her hand was touching Haji, it was really just touching, but on the contrary, it was expressing her feeling of wanting to touch Hajime even just for a little

By the way, Hajinored like air A person that couldn’t read the atmosphere would become the atmosphere (air)

shi+zuku thought that her heart was going to explode froathered on her, even so, the deter in her eyes, and then, she earnestly conveyed her feeling with those tre lips

“Tha, that’s why this is my thanks A, also this is the proof that what I said at that time isn’t, a, a joke”

shi+zuku faced Haji embraced by Yue and co, at the same time she stood on her tiptoes Her heels rose to the lihtly And then, shi+zuku whose body leaned forward by activating even ‘No Beat’, those lovely lips that nobody was permitted to touch touched… Hajime’s cheek

The outrageously soft sensation was trans heated breath tickled not just Hajime’s cheek but even his heart The contact was just an instant However, that kiss certainly conveyed shi+zuku’s boiling heart

who heavy dropped resounded Actually, Ryuutaro as shocked by shi+zuku’s action unintentionally dropped Kouki’s body that made such sound, but there was no way shi+zuku had the spare energy to notice that Rather, no one noticed it

shi+zuku was looking doith all her skin dyed with so much red that it reflexivelyto explode Haji as the deal with the sensation re that there was no way he could ignore this, so he tried to open his th filling her eyes

“Yue, shi+a, Tio… Kaori In this trial, I realized s About ht now too He already, has Yue and others, above all he is the person my best friend loved… I think that I am the lowest But…”

shi+zuku lost her words There Kaori gave words with expression and tone filled with affection

“shi+zuku-chan… it’s fine You are not the worst or anything Because it’s athat cannot be helped at all Rather than that, shi+zuku-chan ill prioritize other people than yourself is now, trying to have your oay, this shi+zuku-chan makes me happy”

“Kaori…”

Perhaps she would hts, by soh shi+zuku kneell that Kaori wasn’t someone of that nature but she couldn’t help but feel fear, yet hearing Kaori’s words which were filled with overflowing kindness without a speck of shadow made shi+zuku able to relax his stiffened shoulders

Looking carefully, although Yue looked displeased, but it didn’t appear that she intend to cut in, she then stared at shi+zuku while shrugging her shoulders And then, she slightly showed a daring s that she would accept the challenge shi+a too was helplessly shrugging her shoulders with one of her eyes closed Tio looked like she was having fun

Such Yue and co and Kaori made shi+zuku showed a natural s deter into her words and declared

“I, like Nagumo-kun… That’s why I’ll do my best for my own sake”

The refreshed s so lovely and pretty that charmed everyone there Exactly like her naht of rising sun, or possibly, like a drop that overflowed fro radiantly with a sweet fragrance (TN: shi+zuku means drop/drip/trickle in japan)

“Fufu, shi+zuku-chan, you are really cute there… Yosh, froainst the Yue-shi+a pair, let’s oppose theht from now on!”

“Ee? Kaori, geez- But, fufu, indeed perhaps that is better It’s like I and Kaori umo-kun”

“… shi+zuku, I had the pren you, together with Kaori to oblivion”

“Yue-san, oblivion is no good But, if you are talking about , then there is no ill draw back! We accept the challenge, shi+zuku-san!”

Yue and co ed and couldn’t n that they would ask him about his opinion “Normally, isn’t it the person confessed that replied?” Even while thinking of such question, he couldn’t put a tsukko usual Because he understood it was pointless

For the girls surrounding Hajime, in the first place other than Yue the assumption was they were rejected, but even so they were deter clearly, at first Hajiirls including shi+a, but when he thought about how he had been made to surrender by shi+a like this, he couldn’t say any complaint after this far

“… Nou, master How should I react when I am nonchalantly left out like this? They art roused up with the pair confrontation but…”

“Your character is the ht”

The weight on his back increased Tio was leaning in while whispering sadly In response Hajime’s reply was careless Rather than that, Hajiuing about how ht fro of how to stop the heated Yue and co

“… So shi+zuku too? Just how this happen that Naguet it”
