136 Epilogue - Protagonist "Saint Io" -

"Yes, go ahead"

Saucer and cup with a picture of the roses to be offered. Lift it up and bring it closer to your nose, the scent of darjeeling in it tickles your nostrils. If I put a beautiful walnut-coloured tea on my mouth, the sweetness and aroma of the tea leaves spread all over my mouth.

"It's delicious. Thank you, Mr. Cherry Blossom. And let me use this place."

Sakura Ruku, the librarian. Was the last time I saw you when you lightened the explanation for the ceremony to Iori and Kazuka? Speaking of which, Gabby got involved after that.

"And it's strange, I can't believe you're not here yet. He often comes first when he meets here."

Really? Well, I came early on purpose, so this is inevitable.

"Really?

"Yes, Iori, you come here every now and then. Kazuka used to come here every once in a while... she hasn't been here lately."

"Oh......"

Maybe I'm the reason for that.

"Hey Sakura, is your time okay now? Why don't you talk to me until Io gets here? Actually, I need to ask you something..."

"Hehe, it's okay. The borrowing of books is completely automatic, and not many people come. Even if it looks like this, I'm always free... maybe an invitation to a date?

"I refuse you because of the thought of a severance."

I'd like to invite you if I can. Instead, you would say no if you asked me out now.

"Oh, I thought you were old.

"Age doesn't matter, I just can't right now... well, let's leave that alone"

Place the cup on the saucer. And stared at Mr. Cherry Blossom.

"Mr. Sakura... do you like this world?

"Phew, what's the sudden matter?

"Hey, I was wondering"

Sakura narrowed her eyes and smiled very gently, as if to see my child.

"Do you like this world, did you?.................. I like it. I love it."

When I look at that smile, I see emotions that I've felt before. That's what happened to that hotel where Rudy was cornered. The same sentiment I had when my beloved daughter-in-law (heroine) was in a pinch of absolute destiny.

"... I'm relieved to hear that"

That's what I say and reach for tea.

I was really relieved that she thought so. But I was going to originally. So.

"Ah, Yusuke!

It was the same time I swallowed tea. Unexpectedly, Iori's voice was heard from the side, and me and Sakura pointed their gaze at him at the same time.

"I'm sorry, Kosuke. It's getting late."

"No, I just came too soon. I just wanted to tell you not to worry about it."

That's what I said and pulled the chair, and Io sat there.

"I was just about to say?

"But hey, I don't know if I can forgive you for interrupting a moment of bliss with Sakura"

Sakura put her hand on her cheek and laughed at Couscous when I said so.

"Oh, my goodness."

"Duh, what do you mean?

"Oh, because of you Sakura told me you liked me...!

To put it that way deliberately, did Iori really surprise herself, standing up with her eyes round.

".................. Yeahhh!

Wolfish Iori. You're lying, what a grunt, staring alternately at me and Mr. Cherry Blossom.

"If you say so already. If they say that, I'll have to say I said it too."

"What, uh, oh, I'm sorry, Yusuke!

and grab Iwo with a stall trying to flip himself back. When Itsuki was attracted to him, he was forced to sit in his chair.

"Bad Io, just kidding"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm so entertained."

I still look at us anxiously. I see Iori and Sakura and I laugh.

"Oh, uh, what the hell is going on?

"I just told her you liked cake and all that, so I'm sorry."

"Oh, yeah? Don't surprise me anymore!

"Bad, bad"

"You don't think it's absolutely bad, do you?

Exactly.

"Heh heh, then I'll make you some tea, Io, you just wait a minute"

Sakura, who says so and takes a seat.

When I stare at Mr. Cherry Blossom, Io calls me.

"I'm sorry, I think my flowers have been bothering me lately."

"No, I haven't been called. I was the original cause these days."

Instead, I have the feeling that the knots came to get themselves involved and made it extra worse.

"I got help in the last dungeon, too, and it was fun talking to you."

I'm sorry to hear that at the end.

"Oh well, that would be nice"

Itsuki laughs uncontrollably when she says that.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Talk to me all the time. You called me today. [M] But it was just fine."

"Was it just right?

"I had something for you too, Yusuke... and speaking of which, what about Naomi?

"I'm doing you a favor, and you should be with Anemone at the ceremony."

I don't have Nanami because I'm not willing to bring her here yet. That's why I always took great care when I came here.

"Oh well. So, Kosuke. Is there something important we need to talk about?

Nod small. Right. I have something important to tell you. That's why I dared to call Yi Wei here.

I need to ask you something.

If you think about what's going to happen, it's something you really need to hear.

"What do you want to hear?

"Hey, Io, it's you. Erotic...... I don't know. Have you ever done a galge?

"Huh? What's all of a sudden?

Well, you will.

"It's a pretty serious story. So, what do you say?

"Yeah, I don't...?

"Oh well. Well, a novel or a comic book, if you like."

Same thing I'm trying to say.

"You know, if it was a happy ending or a bad ending, which one would you prefer?

And I keep saying things before Io says anything.

"I've played a lot of games, but I prefer happy endings to bad endings. Well, I think most people do."

So even though he died an unbroken death and received a bad-end, he went to the tiger dojo many times to reach the ending. Even action games staged in the computer world have helped heroines over and over again by dying.

I close my eyes and think of Rudy. When I first met her, she was about to be unhappy. In some cases, it would have gone straight to the bad end.

At that time I had no choice but to look at her and run away.

"So, someone's got a bad end... well, can I say unhappy. You're about to be unhappy, and what would you do if you found out you could help?

Still staring at Iwo.

Io looked at me with his eyes narrowed and a serious look at me to see how I was doing and feel something.

"Well, I'll help."

"What if I knew that was very difficult?

"... Still going to help"

"Oh well... that's fine"

The laughter spills unexpectedly. And I understood.

He said he was the right man for the protagonist of the story.

"Yeah, my errands are done now. So, what can I do for you?"

That's all? I had that look on my face, but it matters to me.

"... yeah. I could have given you a message because it's a little something, but I wanted to talk to you right in front of you, if I could."

"A little something?

Iwo rises from his chair.

I broke through the 30th floor of the Tsukuyomi School Dungeon with everyone.

I laugh when I hear that. I knew it was only a matter of time. So much so that Ivy finally thought I'd come after hearing about it.

"Well, congratulations!

"Thank you, but beyond the 30th floor, I understand. Not yet. There was help from the vice chairman and chairman."

Itsuki, who was laughing, turned off his grin and stared at me.

"The day I finished the attack, I, Chairman Monica, called."

My body shivers when I blur.

"I was wondering if we could join the student council. And Chairman Monica went on to say: The student council is going to make you grow big..."

That's what he says. He cuts words.

And he took a small, deep breath, staring at me.

"Don't you want to go beyond Yusuke Tatsune? What?"

I felt a current run on my body. The expression conveyed Iori's determination.

Look straight at this one. There is a will in its eyes.

"I... go into the student council"

Oh, I guess I'm finally here.

Maybe he went into the first 'growing season' as he calls it in the game's Magiek. Basic abilities have improved, skills have been learned, items have been aligned, and various dungeons can be attacked, and the conditions are in place to grow significantly.

Explosively stronger, primary growth.

"It hasn't been that long since I came to this school, but I'm really glad I did."

And the events and story progression must have strengthened my mind as well as my abilities.

It's not the usual weave. Somehow unreliable, it wasn't some cute Io.

But that weave is the weave I know. I've seen so much of it in the game, Io.

No matter how strong the boss is, he's the protagonist "St. Io" who stands up for the heroines.

"We have the best facilities to grow. I have a teacher who will personally"

I would have stood up if I had noticed.

"I have the best people I can trust. I have the best stage (dungeon) to try my stronger self. And most importantly..."

Iori punctuates the words, filling them with magic from all over her body and approaching me.

"It's a goal, there's a rival"

I thought I had to answer his thoughts, too. That's why we send magic to Stoll, and still we scatter the magic that's flooded around us like there's no more.

And Ni laughed and looked down at Iwo.

Io didn't change his expression when he saw me like that.

"Yukisuke. I will attack forty layers soon. I don't know why, but I think it's gonna be easy."

When I snort, Io keeps saying things.

"And I'm still going to be strong."

"Oh, you'll be strong. I'll prophesy. It would have unimaginable powers."

But I'm not going to lose to you.

Iwo closes her eyes and takes a small, deep breath, putting her hands on her chest.

"Hey Kosuke, you declared to me in front of the school, didn't you? When you and I first met. Remember?"

"... of course I remember."

Cherry blossoms on the way to school, in front of the school gate. That's where I declared it.

"Now I declare."

Come on, laugh invincibly, take his word for it.

"I'll be the strongest in the School of Magic, St. Io!
