◇ Momo's Perspective ◇

Makoto-sama is gone.

Everything seems to be practiced in a place called "Submarine Shrine".

Isn't it safer here? I think Makoto-sama is a tough person, so she wants to put herself in a harsher environment.

"Hah... Makoto-san..."

Anna sighs glossy over there.

It's just a maiden in love.

I don't try to admit anything.

"Little one. Looks like the sky.

Master Hakuryu is here.

"Chi, no. Practicing!

I sing the magic of trees.

Tree Magic Capture the Tattoo!

Bleep! The roots of the trees spread in all directions, turning the foes around.

It's plain magic, but even a small dragon seems to be able to catch it.

"I got it! Master Hakuryu!"

"Hmm, that's the Wise Man skill holder. It's fast to remember."

"I did it!... but why isn't it attack magic?

I bowed my neck.

Makoto-sama is fighting for the Demon King.

A terrible enemy.

He also made me a vampire.

So maybe I should learn stronger attack magic?

"There are many immortals (undead) under the command of the Immortal King (Bifronce)." Sun magic ", originally a sacred attribute, is desirable... but it is not suitable for use by semi-vampires. Stopping is more useful than bad attack magic."

Master Hakuryu answered without hesitation.

"Hah... I see."

Besides, I have a Tactical Wizard. We should leave the attack to him. "

"Tactical Wizard....?

I leaned my neck against unfamiliar words.

"There was a time when I used to call spiritualists that. It's a name that's not used right now."

"Are you talking about Makoto?

Anna came into the conversation when she noticed.

Master Hakuryu, what is strategic magic?

"Magic designed to destroy cities or the country itself…, also known as the 'Magic of Indiscriminate Killing'"

"Huh?

Anna and I face each other.

An unbelievably noisy name came up.

"Kids, old people, whatever it is, it's magic that destroys everything."

"Makoto-san won't do that!

"Yes, Makoto-sama is a kind person!

Master Hakuryu sighed at me and Anna's objection.

"It's not what you do, it's what you can do." Spirit magic is difficult to use in detail. If you use it, you'll end up involving your enemies and swallowing everything... that's the magic. "

"But Makoto-san didn't want to get us involved... ah"

"You forgot about the Great Labyrinth, brave man. (Undine) You almost died because of the Spirit of Water, right?

"... yes"

"But Makoto-sama has been very careful ever since!

As I said, Master Hakuryu nodded small.

"That's right, Spirit Master uses Spirit Magic to keep us out of trouble. You can't use it that way."

"After all, Makoto-sama is amazing!

As I said, Master Hakuryu had a difficult face.

"Our magic is, after all, a copy of 'God's Miracle'. It would be strange if you didn't have the protection of some powerful God."

"Makoto said there is no god to believe in."

The importance of Anna's words makes me uncomfortable.

I don't believe in God in particular either.

"That's not all. The goddess who lives in heaven hates spiritual magic."

"The goddess....?

Anna muttered anxiously.

That's what bothered me, too.

What do you mean you don't like the goddess?

"Spirit magic can do too much damage. It's like deliberately calling a natural disaster. The number of people with the talent (skills) of" Spirit Man "decreased with the flow of the times. I stopped the goddess from giving me skills."

"But Mr. Makoto said that he received the mystery of the Goddess of the Sun....."

"That's what you said...."

Master Hakuryu put his hand on his chin as he thought with a slight wrinkle on his eyebrows.

"I am a spiritual user, but I think that (...) is (...) among (...) people in the world."

"Aren't you from this world?

"Well, what do you mean...?

"When I was talking to the Spirit Master, I somehow ignored the common sense of this world. And being the user of unusual spiritual magic, such as mutation. It matches the characteristics of people from other worlds at a rate of about once every few hundred years."

"Makoto-san...."

"An alien...?

I couldn't keep up with words I never imagined.

"My own predictions? It may be out of line. If you're concerned, you can ask yourself a question."

Master Hakuryu, don't you care?

"I don't mind. But if he doesn't say anything, maybe he wants to hide it."

Mmm.

I want to know.

I want to know everything about Makoto-sama.

All right! All right!

When you get back, I'll ask you some questions.

Speaking of which, recently I stopped reading the books I used to read when I met him.

Recently, I have been studying letters during my training, so I may lend it to you.

Then I practiced magic every day and waited for Makoto-sama's return.

I can't wait, Anna.

"Yeah, eh! No... I'm fine..."

"Let's just admit it. Makoto-sama likes it."

"Chi, no! I respect Mr. Makoto, but I can't believe I like him!

"Last time, I said it in my sleep. About Makoto-sama."

"Heh!? Hmm, that's a lie! You're kidding, right? Momo!"

Come on ~?

Well, Anna, who fell asleep just once, said, "Makoto-san..."

Anna was in a hurry, so I didn't explain in detail.

- It's the day Makoto-sama comes back.

Master Hakuryu picked him up at the rendezvous point.

I sat still and waited for my return.

He's back!

Anna-san and I hurried to pick her up and... saw Makoto-san and lost our words.

The expression is dark and the eyes are empty.

I've never seen such a face...

The clothes that I always cleaned up were worn out.

The steps were undisturbed, and he walked gently toward the temple.

"Um... Makoto-sama...?"

While I was talking, Makoto-sama lay down on the bed, unable to answer anything.

Makoto-sama!? What happened?!!
