The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World

If we were to talk outside anyway... and I brought Mr. Sakaguchi to the hill a short walk from the house.

This is a landscaped park inhabited by the rich, with one large tree standing.

So we went up the tree, sat on a thick branch, and looked down under our eyes.

Light running, whether you look up or down.

In other words, in the sky there is a sea of stars on one side, and it is the business of man to spread under his eyes - a sea of stars named the lights.

And, well, that's why I brought Mr. Sakaguchi to a place like that.

"Isn't it beautiful? It's my favorite place since I was a kid."

……

"At that time in the other world, you... you said the night sky was beautiful. Humans are filthy, only nature is beautiful..."

"That could have happened."

"That's why I wanted to show you this place"

……

I put my hand on Mr. Sakaguchi's shoulder.

"Even the view of people's sales is decently beautiful. You only saw human filth, so I wanted to tell you that. Because I couldn't tell you that at that time."

So Mr. Sakaguchi sighed as if he were frightened.

"Aren't you stupid?

"... Huh?

"I'm telling you I don't have to tell you that right now. Aren't you really stupid to show me this crap?

I'm a little irritated by the way you say it.

"You? Isn't that how you put it? This is my favorite place, isn't it?

"You... the princess, and Anastasia taught me. You taught me exactly what to do. Even humans didn't throw it away. I've spent hundreds of millions of times more time with you than with this view."

……

"And I met Serafina and the others. Thanks to you and others, I was able to trust the Seraphinas. You don't have to worry about me because of you, but I'm happy."

"Well, that would be nice."

No, I think it was really good.

I know what you're saying, and I'm really glad you thought that way.

But I'm still a little frustrated with this saying.

And I pretended to be obstinate there.

"Well, though... I guess it was a bit of a shock that they said my favorite place was a crap place"

"... eh"

I sighed when Mr. Sakaguchi opened his eyes to a surprised breeze.

"I don't think this view is that good. When I was a kid, I was impressed..."

"... Huh?

Again, I sighed deeply and made a dark look.

So Mr. Sacaguci lay down his eyelashes.

"Uh..."

I whispered something and started thinking about something.

"Mmm..."

And I mean, he's having trouble getting my reaction and not knowing how to do it.

So Mr. Sacaguci nodded as he had decided.

"You know... thank you"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you so much for helping me out when I was falling to the bottom, with no hope or strength to live in that time in the other world"

"Ooh."

"Oh, oh, later?

"Hmm?"

Sakaguchi said as he swimmed his eyes suspiciously for a little bit.

"Besides, I think this view is purely beautiful. Oh, and... A, A, you... well, I... have shown you a place to keep it for me... well, I... just, that's all..."

……

"... uhh, uhh... because I'm happy"

That's where I blew it out.

"Ha, Mr. Sakaguchi isn't really honest. I honestly can't thank you enough for not complaining first."

"Stop calling me Mr. Sakaguchi. I've already remembered, and then there's all kinds of weirdness, right?

"Well, I guess so."

"It's good with the leila. So, let's get back to it... you know?

Leila swells her puckles and cheeks.

"I'm not being honest... I'm trying to say you're not cute. Wake up?

"No, I don't hate that kind of place. Sometimes I think she's cute."

"Oh, cute... hey, what are you talking about? If so, bah...... it's not Bakka!?

So Leila blushed her cheeks.

"Well, isn't Leila good to stay tundered like that?

"Yeah, I'm good with this. What a genius girl. But you're not good at that, are you?

"What?

"I'm back in Japan and I'm out of it, I'm out of MP or something, I'm sketchy, I can't get my head up at Abeno Fai night, I forgot about me, I don't even notice"

"... I don't have the words to give it back just because it's true"

"Besides, he's got no taste in clothing, and he forgot about me, and he doesn't even notice."

……

"And not only Abeno Fai Night, but he's stretching under his nose to the chairman of the committee, and if he had a girl student with big tits, he'd definitely turn his gaze to his chest, and he'd forgotten about me, and he wouldn't even notice."

Sounds like... he has a grudge for something he didn't realize.

I mean, well, it's largely true, so I really don't have a word to say back.

"At the end of the sentence, I haven't even noticed how I feel, and it's really, really Rokudenashi!

And so I asked Mr. Sakaguchi.

"... that you haven't noticed how I feel?

Ha... Sakaguchi sighed deeply.

"I have to tell you everything!? What the hell is wrong with you? I hate you for not doing well! I don't like you with no taste in clothes! I hate you when you look at other women in the eye! Abeno Fai, I'm getting along with the night. I hate you! I really, really hate you for forgetting about me!

So Mr. Sacaguci breathed in big and big.

"I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! But I don't hate you, sweetheart! I don't hate being nice to you! No more, really sucks! Why would you do that? How could you... how could you! I can't believe you... you..."

"I can't believe you... what?

"I can't believe you..."

"Su?"

To my question, Mr. Sakaguchi shook the boom and his neck left and right, tiding his face enough to tell even in the dark.

"No! I can't tell you! Oh, oh, you know what? I'm just going to... be me as Ariel... and I'm going to talk to you... and I'm going to be a little honest with you! So... don't ever assume that my words from now on are my words as Leila-Sakaguchi, huh?

"... what the hell?

"You know, back then... do you remember the breakup in the other world?

I don't know... what does that really mean?

Well, do we have to answer the questions honestly here?

"Oh, I remember that."

"That's when you said you'd make me your daughter-in-law, right?

"It's..."

"I know. Because I know that's a sweet lie about breaking up. So, that's good. But I was - forgotten, I missed you so much, so much pain. It was really, really hard, wasn't it?

Mr. Sakaguchi... No, Leila is honestly making a weak noise. So...?

No, you don't.

I guess this is her honest, sincere revelation without falsehood.

She had to lead the Guardians so far to be strong as a commander.

Until now, I've never been able to make a weak noise to anyone.

And I guess there's a lot of resistance in me about not being strong...

So you deceive yourself by talking to yourself as Ariel... no, give yourself an excuse.

- You're not really honest, this guy... and.

But that weak figure, trembling in small pieces and weeping, who honestly conveys his feelings with a crying face, looked like a very normal, naturally sixteen-year-old girl who should be there.

So let me be honest with her, too.

"I didn't realize... I'm sorry"

Put your hands on your head and I'll stroke you with a pong.

"... yeah"

"I'm so sorry."

"... yeah"

So I put my eyes on the clock.

It's about eleven o'clock... and it's about time.

"Time to get out of the tree"

I got out of the tree and we headed home.

So, after about ten minutes of walking, he arrived in front of my house.

And so, I told Leila.

"Well, here we are today, Sayonara"

Full and Leila shook their heads left and right.

"No, I'm not."

"No?"

"When we break up, we say 'see you', not 'sayonara', right?

Speaking of which, at that time in the other world, I was the last one to say those words to this guy.

Oh, well, you remembered the words right then.

And for some reason, something hot flooded my chest.

"I mean, it's really a good time. See you then... at school"

So, Leila spread her hands and hugged me to the full force.

"Hey......? Leila?"

"I'll never leave you again. I'll never... I won't let you go."

As for me as Ariel... it sounds like it's still going on.

Words and eyes... the usual tightness has disappeared and feels gentle since just now... well, is that good?

"... oh, don't worry, we won't be apart like we were then again"

Leila looked up at me, hugging me tightly.

Because of my low height, it's just that I'm dressed to look up from around my chest.

"You know what? That's when you said you'd do me a favor for anything, right?

"... yeah"

Reach for my neck, and Leila stretches her back...

That was unintentional.

Yes, really unexpectedly... the soft lip feel came through my lips.

- Each other, first kiss.

He's just a light guy touching it, but that's definitely supposed to be an important experience for each other......

Leila laughed like a prank at me.

"They reneged on my promise to make me your daughter-in-law! They lied to me. Huh! So even if we do this much... we'll never hit a bee! I'm not bad!

"Hey, man..."

Leila leaves me for home.

"Wait a minute. Whoa!

That's how I looked back in front of the front door of her house.

"See you tomorrow!

Waving his hands as they were, Leila said with a cheerful smile like a sunflower blossoming.

"Back then, now, and ever! I've always loved it - I don't like it!

"I love you..."

I don't know, it would be against the rule to say no to here...

To a girl who could only describe herself as an angel with such an adorable bottomless smile on her face and waved, that's when I did think of that with my heart taken away.
