Episode 127: Powerful Signs

"... I guess we'll be fine if we get this far"

Me and Serena stopped after a run down the main street in town to some extent.

"Ute, thanks for your help earlier. But..."

"Oh, you did a little too much. I'm reflecting."

A few moments ago, I became the king. [M] [Weakened] I didn't expect it to blow up so much just a little one-handed push, even though it was lowering its status. Once again I realized how powerful I am. [M]

"By the way, Serena, why did you do that all of a sudden earlier? You know, pushing your chest against me..."

Serena's face turns bright red again.

"Well, that's because..."

After a moment of moziness, Serena quietly opened her mouth.

"... Hey, Ute. Is it true there's always more than one woman beside Ute?

"Buh!?"

I erupted. Sure, there are girls near me who always start Henri, like Yuna, Peta, Lina, etc. But I didn't say no and I didn't do anything I felt guilty about.

"Oh, who told you that?!?"

Yes, that's the biggest problem. All I can think of is Sasha or Lina who knows who I am, but the chances of Lina saying that to Serena are close to zero.

Then Sasha is the only killer. Yeah, it's definitely Sasha. That's what I'm going to say.

"... Sue told me"

"Huh?"

An unexpected name came up, so I was taken aback. How could Sue... No way!?

"If Sue was observing Ute, she'd know. He says there's more than one female smell coming from Euto."

"... seriously"

I was in a hurry to find out who I was for a moment. Don't be afraid, Sue's insight into how to spot that much just by observing it.

"As it is, well, I'm sure there are some girls around me, but I'll never get my hands on them or anything!

"Yeah...... I know. Nor is Atashi going to say anything about the living environment of Ute. But..."

Serena grips her skirt softly.

"If one day someone takes Ute away from me and I wonder if I'm going to feel away from Atashi, I suddenly get scared. That's why I wanted to be more aggressive on this date."

"So, that..."

Small Serena nodded. As far as I'm concerned, I'm sure I was happy, but I don't want you to do that until I can't. Serena of nature is the best.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about that. Because..."

After pinching the cough, I said.

"I only see Serena now."

"... really?

"Ah, oh. So you don't have to be too aggressive."

I can see my body temperature rising at an incredible rate. Shit, I'm so embarrassed. I didn't know the day would come when I would say such a shitty dialogue...

"Ute, by the way, the..."

Serena glances diagonally down. That's when I finally realized that I had been holding Serena's left hand. [M]

"I'm sorry. That was annoying."

"Oh, it's okay!

As I tried to let go, Serena shook it back hard and stopped it.

"... As I said earlier, you don't have to -"

"Yeah, it's not. This is the... This is what I want you to do."

said Serena, dyeing her cheeks slightly. The look struck my heart beautifully. [M]

Me and Serena take a stroll down the main street of town, holding hands together. I think I'm finally starting to look like a date. I enjoyed my time with Serena so much that I almost forgot what I was here to buy out.

- I just got a good vibe on my date, and I'd rather have an invitation for the night.

Sasha's words cross the back of her brain. I was listening to it as my usual hoax then, but if it's the atmosphere now...... it could be handsome.

"Hey, hey, Serena"

"What?"

Shit, I got nervous when I had to. Weird sweats flow from my forehead and my heart sounds slightly louder. I figured I'd stop for today...?

No, from the standpoint of being a champion, I don't always get to meet Serena. Don't miss this opportunity. Show me the man, Yuto Akumi!

"... can I interrupt Serena's room tonight?

I squeezed my courage and said so. [M] Slightly far-fetched expression, but it seems to have been well conveyed to Serena, whose face becomes red as she looks at it.

Serena's hand becomes just a little stronger. After the silence, Serena said this with enough voice to hear me critically, keeping me out of sight.

"... on your own"

That was an indisputable indication of "OK" from Serena. I was also prepared to be rejected, but this would mean Serena had that desire, too. So tonight I finally graduated from virginity.

!!

I stopped walking and looked back. This sign is...!!

"... what's wrong?

Serena asks me, still blushing. [M] But I don't answer that, I look around carefully.

Definitely. There's a seven-star angel nearby.

Because my body has become much more familiar with this world's environment, I was now more sensitive to the signs than I was when I was just reincarnated. Though not sharp enough to tell whose it belongs, this powerful sign is unthinkable except for the Seven Star Angel. Mr. Kiel, Mika, Raphae, or Gabriel again?

"Ute, what's really going on? You look horrible..."

"... sorry Serena. Can you just wait here for a second?

"What? Why?

"I remember a personal errand. It's okay, I'll be right back."

"Hey, Ut!?"

I took my hand off Serena and ran toward the sign. [M]

It's out of the question as a man to flaunt a date on the way, but if my inquiry is correct, 'Pot of Souls' is currently in the hands of the Seven Star Angels. Then you can't overlook it.

After a few minutes of following the signs, my eyes captured one hindsight. When I saw that big back, I figured it out in one shot. That's Mr. Kiel.

You're going home part-time? Or is there something else you want? Either way, it's likely that Mr. Kiel knows something about The Pot of Souls.

I walked out to speak to Kiel - but I immediately remembered.

Me and Mr. Kiel are not just part-time buddies like before anymore. Ten days ago, I attacked "The Seven Stars of Mitsukishi" with the Four Extinct Demons, killing Seal, the leader of Mr. Kiel and his men, with this hand. What the hell face should I show up in front of Mr. Kiel?

If I don't do anything like this, I'll miss my chance to get information about the 'pot of souls'. Even while I'm doing this, Mr. Kiel's back keeps getting farther and farther.

To name but a few, I decided to carefully tail Kiel.
