A Misunderstood Mentor

Ta-kun, I'm so embarrassed to see you like a spider!

"Oh, I'm sorry, Karuna, but it's cute as a strap."

Huh? Really? I don't know what the straps are. Well, if it's cute, it's just fine. "

The afternoon hill where I finished my training with Alice.

The thread stretched from the moat of the demon sword in his hand, where the spider carna was shaking plumply.

Nuruhachi's maneuver of forcibly screwing into the demon sword ended in failure, but it seemed that his soul had managed to penetrate it just a little bit earlier.

By connecting the body of the spider and the demon sword with a single thread, it was possible to have a conversation that only I could hear, as before.

It's convenient to have a conversation, but you can't breathe power or release special attacks, right?

Yeah. I think I'd better get in there more, but I'll never feel that way again.

Apparently, it hurt enough to relinquish power.

"I see, I'm sorry, Karuna." I won't give it to the bees anymore. No, it's not just the bees. I will never give Karuna to Azatose or [her] to anyone again. "

Ta, ta-kun...♡ you're going to die! At some point, I just stopped being such a prodigy. "

Huh? Really? Well, it's not that different, is it?

Well, even if I said I wouldn't hand it over, all I could think of was trying my best to escape.

You can be small, you can dive into the dirt, you can fly high, and if you do it well, you'll be able to escape quite a bit.

Well, while Tak-kun was working hard, I wasn't just a spider. Even with this, I was looking for any weaknesses on [her] 's side. "

"Huh! Have you found [her] weakness!?"

I don't know if it's going to be a weak spot. Takun, maybe you can come up with a good plan. "

"Ho, ho, ho"

I thought that "she" was too perfect and that there were no weaknesses.

No matter how small my weakness is, I want my hands to get out of my throat.

”Oh, tell me, Karuna, that weakness is sure to help”

All right. Give me your ear, Taku-kun. I don't know who's listening. "

Maybe I'm the only one who can hear Karuna's voice.

Well, that's the kind of atmosphere that matters.

I took a spider karuna with each demon sword to my ears.....

Wow, it's close, it's going to shine somehow.

"Just say it." Don't shake it in your ear, it's tickling me. "

Alright, fine, let's just say it.

The sound of her swallowing raw saliva echoed.

"... actually, it's 'her'."

Um, yeah.

It's like you really like animals, isn't it?

"Nh? nh? nh??"

Huh? I just heard about the weakness of [girlfriend], didn't I?

I thought I heard you like animals, but did you hear me wrong?

You've misheard me. They say they like animals. "

"...... Huh?"

Um, yeah... is that a weakness??

I don't think most people like cute animals, either.

Why, why did Karuna think it was [her] weakness?

"Yeah, that woman, she's usually completely emotional. I don't know what you're thinking, and it looks like you're pardoning anyone. But, that little red birdie. Four God Pillars

Oh, you mean Sue-san?

Sue, who had been in me all this time and brought me back to Mount Bolt, was taken away by [her].

"That's right, only when I talk to Sue-san." Sometimes she has such a gentle face. I think that's what [girl] is hiding. Besides, she probably doesn't like humans. "

"I-I see." *

You don't like humans.

Certainly, even though it always has a slightly dry atmosphere, the eyes that look at people seem to be inorganic.

You don't seem to be interested in people, rather than hating them.

... I thought it was a weakness that was almost useless, but if I did it well, I might make a little gap.

"Well then, why don't you go to Azatose and borrow the three gods other than Sue?" The turtles and dragons in the Four God Pillars were amazing, but the tiger became cat-like, right? "

Oh dear, the white tiger is the cutest. I might be able to move her heart. "

Yeah, especially the blue dragon, which was kind of a sloppy mess. If only the white tiger was borrowed, that would be good.

”If it matches like Sue-san, will the white tiger get into my body?”

Eh? Tak-kun, God, can you still afford to let me in?

"Yeah, I'm not sure, but I'm going to get in as much as I can." I feel like there's something really big inside my body. "

Wow, that's amazing. Even the Divine Lowering Clan was only able to lower one of them, except Leia. Tak-kun, can you eat something weird? Have you been infected with a bad disease?

"I haven't eaten yet!" All right, let's go to Azatose anyway. I want to ride with Babimo, so can you call me Karuna... huh? Karuna? "

Well, why?

It's been a long time since you've had a conversation with Karuna.

I didn't notice any approach.

Karuna, the demon sword she had held in her hand before, disappeared, and she recognized its existence for the first time.

"Oh, no way, Takumi." I have to keep my promise. "

"Karuna!!"

I will never give Karuna to anyone again. That's what I promised you.

The spider's thread connected to the demon sword by the [girl] with inorganic eyes was torn apart in front of me.
