◇Olga Saul Talisker's perspective◇

What....is this...?

　My brain couldn't make sense of the view in front of me.
　The mountains are moving.
　It's a huge mountain of ice, bigger than the Great Keith Castle and the amphitheater combined.
　It was floating right above the royal capital.

" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Oh, thank God!
What does this mean?
It's from the Lord of Heroes in Water Country!
''Is he the Messiah?!''
　The soldiers of the Fire Nation, who had been tainted with despair a moment ago, were speaking in excited voices.

　From the enormity of the comet approaching the royal capital, isn't its destructive power reaching the 'god class'?　That was the view of the wizards.　
　But they were prevented.
　But it was easily prevented.
　The one who prevented it was Takatsuki Makoto, the hero of the Water Kingdom.
　He is the state-certified hero of Roses, whom I had messed with just the other day and said, "It's nothing serious".

(I didn't really mean it then...)

　That's all I can think of.
　There's no way I'm going to be able to do this kind of bullshit in ten days or so.
　Takatsuki Makoto coolly manipulated a magic power in his right arm that far surpassed that of the time I seriously unleashed the holy sword.

　At that moment, I shuddered with a burr.　
　The huge block of ice in front of me was slowly moving.
　Perhaps it is being transported out of the royal capital.
　I can't understand it.
　How could such a huge object be moved by magic?
　How much magic do you need?
　Are you sure he's human?

　At that moment, the ground shook loudly.

　It was the impact of a huge comet that slowly fell to the ground.
　It sat down right next to the royal capital.

　Then, Takatsuki Makoto fell with a thud.

''Mako!''
Takatsuki-kun!
My Lord Brave!
　The Water Kingdom's brave companions and my father's men rushed over in a hurry.

''Quick!　Something that can do medical magic!
"We mustn't let you die, Lord Brave!
　The men of the Fire Nation are in a hurry.　　

　The brave men of the Water Kingdom were being carried away on a stretcher.
　I could only watch them.



　◇A few days later ◇.



　I had retreated to my room.
　The current royal capital of the Fire Nation is full of talk about the martial arts tournament and the commotion that followed.

　One is the new Fire Nation's nationally certified hero, 'Sasaki Aya'.
　She was appointed a brave person.
　She won the martial arts tournament with overwhelming strength and kicked out the goddess brave - me.

　It was bullshit.......strength.
　What the hell was that!
　He bounced off the holy sword's blow unscathed, folding it with one hand, and I was blown away by the blow.
　I have no desire to challenge him to a rematch.　

　Currently, Aya Sasaki was the new darling of the Fire Nation.
　The people of the city are congratulating her.
　The people of the city are congratulating her, and the birth of a new strongman is great news for the people of the Fire Nation.

　Incidentally, the story of Takatsuki Makoto, the man who saved King's Landing, has not been spread very widely among the civilian population.
　A huge meteorite struck the capital.
　It is known that the Fire Nation Army's warriors and wizards were instrumental in saving the city from this threat.

　Of course it did.
　There is no way that an individual could have done anything about such a ridiculous terrorist attack.
　Normally, we assume that the organization has responded.
　The evacuees have not seen Takatsuki Makoto in action.

　But the soldiers of the Fire Nation are different.
　They evacuated their people and tried to do what they could in a short time to save the royal capital.
　And they were desperate.
　That meteorite cannot be prevented.

　But Takatsuki Makoto had done it all by himself.
　Every single soldier from the Fire Nation who was in the royal capital at that time was fascinated by the brave man from the Water Nation.
　I heard that the wizards of the Fire Nation are lining up to interview him.
　They can't help but want to ask him about the magic that stopped the giant comet.

　By the way, the hero of the Water Kingdom, Takatsuki Makoto, is said to have lost consciousness and has not woken up yet.
　I've heard he's in good health, but....
　When he wakes up, I must go and apologize to him.

　I heard that my father, who is a general, goes to visit the brave men of the Water Kingdom every day.
　Originally, my father wanted to bring Takatsuki Makoto, who defeated the Demon King in the Land of Wood, to the Land of Fire.
　But now he has become a complete follower of him.
　My father was also one of those who became fascinated by the magic of the brave men of the Water Country.

　He is a terrifying man.

　Abel, the savior of the world, who once fought an army of a million great demon kings with just four men.
　I thought the story was just an exaggeration.
　However, there is even talk among the current soldiers of the Fire Nation that Takatsuki Makoto is also the savior of the world.

　Because he did the impossible.
　When he performs a miracle, people revere it.

　However, there was something that bothered me.





　Just before the comet fell, I was building up my magic power with the other Fire Nation warriors, trying to deflect the comet's orbit.

　At that time, I suddenly felt an enormous surge of magic power and flew to the top level of the amphitheater (coliseum).
　What I saw there was something in the form of a sacred figure next to the heroic Makoto of the Water Country.


　--Do not look at it!


　My brain refused to see anything in my eyes.
　To keep looking at it would destroy his sanity.

　Fortunately, it was only there for a moment.
　Less than a second in time, more of a moment than a blink of an eye.
　The moment it disappeared.

　--with a grin, the mouth of that too-beautiful being twisted wide.

　I looked directly at it.
　Goosebumps broke out all over my body, my body went rigid and I couldn't even speak.

　At first, I thought it was a god.
　However, she was clearly different from the Goddess of Fire (Saul) that I knew.

　
(What was that........)


　--clatter.

　The door opened.

"Olga, is this a good time?
You could have knocked.
　It was my childhood friend, Daria, who came in.
　She is a priestess of the Goddess of Fire, my guardian knight.

''Oh no, His Majesty and Uncle squeezed me so hard for messing with the brave men of the Water Kingdom.
　Sighing, I sat down on the bed in my room.
　As it was, I fell back with a thud and laid down on the bed with only my upper body.
　My father, by "Uncle" he means my father.

It's no use. I've been scolded by your father for a long time now.
　I replied with a sigh.
　I felt heavy, though I deserved it.
　And embarrassed.

　I want to punch me and stop me from being so chic with Takatsuki Makoto and Sasaki Aya a dozen days ago.
　As I was thinking about that while looking up at the ceiling, Daria murmured.

''That guy.......Takatsuki Makoto seems to be the 'Apostle of the Evil God'.
What?
　I couldn't help but turn around at Dahlia's words.

'Evil God?'
Yes, the old gods who lost the old God's War. I heard they worship that old goddess.
　What came to my mind then was that sacred light I saw the other day.
　Sacred, but something I couldn't accept.
　Something inhuman.

　An old god.
　An evil god.
　The Titan god race.
　Called by different names, but they are considered an enemy in the current Goddess Church.
　Naturally, its followers are also enemies.

''That's... what did you tell Your Majesty?
　The Messenger of the Evil One.
　It is an abomination that buried many brave men in a battle a thousand years ago.
　In the end, though, it was apparently destroyed by Abel, the Savior of the world.

　In the Church of the Goddess, it is still treated as an abomination.
　To the general public, though, they are not as major as the Order of the Snake.　
　It's not something to be ignored.

''I told His Majesty the King, but before that, the Goddess of Fire (Saul) told me. This time the 'Messenger of the Evil God' is useful, so leave it alone. Also, the water goddess is watching over you, so she said it would be fine.
Yeah, do you really want to do that?
　I was puzzled.

　
　It's also true that it's troubling to be told to antagonize them now.

　The Goddess of Fire (Saul) tells me to stay out of it.
　Then we have no choice but to obey.

"You're on the wrong side of a fight.
Yeah, I was wrong.

　We looked at each other and sighed again.



◇Takatsuki Makoto's point of view ◇.


　I woke up.

　An unfamiliar ceiling.
　A hard bed.
　Thin sheets.
　A white room.

　It was a hospital room.
　It's a bit like a water temple.

"Hmm?
　I felt a strange sensation in my right arm.
　To be precise, it was a sensation(s) or(s) or(s) or(s).

(No sensation in my right arm........?)

　I looked at my right arm and saw that there was a bandage wrapped around my arm.
　I tried to move it........but it wouldn't budge.
　Huh?　No.
　Seriously.

"Makoto!　You're awake.
　Lucy was close by.
　Behind her, I could see Friae's figure.

''The princess and the hero were waiting for you just now. I nursed them for half a day and we just switched places.''
　According to Furiae's explanation, Princess Sophia and Sa-san were there for me earlier.
　I'll have to thank them later.
　Brave man........you mean Sa-san, right?

How long have I been sleeping?
Four days.
'Four days!'
　Lucy's answer was something I didn't expect.
　Is it really that long that I've been out of my mind....
　The 'Change' skill to spirits.
　Noah-sama saved me, but I guess I was reckless after all.

　I looked at my right arm, which had stopped moving, again.

"My knight that arm may never heal.
　Furiae-san told me with a sinking expression.
''I see........''
　I looked at my arm, which was stiffened with bandages.

　I could see through the bandage that arm was overflowing with magical power.
　It was also faintly emitting light.
　Is it really my arm?　It's so magical.

(Hmmm, maybe that thing won't work?)

　I tried to see if I could not move my arm with magical power instead of muscle power.
　This time, I transformed my right arm into a water spirit.
　The aftereffects of that change prevented me from raising my arm.
　However, the magic power is still in my arm.
　I wonder if she can move with the water magic 'water manipulation'?

My knight you have done well.
　As I stared at my arm, trying to see if it wouldn't move with the water magic method, Friae-san approached me with pitying eyes.
''But that arm is a symptom of something akin to a 'curse'.......and a curse that even I can't break.......''　


　-- Mu Mu Mu.


　Friae was in the middle of his words.
　I couldn't feel my right hand, but I felt like I touched something soft.
　My right hand was moving.

　It was Friae's chest that I was touching.
　Apparently my right hand was grabbing Friae's chest.
　I can't feel my hand, so it seems to be someone else's problem.

''No, sorry, Hime........''
　I couldn't continue with the words, "I failed to move my arm.
'What are you doing?!'
　Huriae-san, who was in the form of a demon, threw a beautiful spinning kick to my side of the head.

''Ma, Mako!''
　Lucy rushed over to me and woke me up.
'Ouch...'　
　I said, but it doesn't hurt that much.
　In the meantime, he added or subtracted from the fact that he was an injured person.

　Earlier, I could see Friae's underwear when she got hit by a spinning kick, but I feel like if I say it, I'll get a real kick this time.
　So I won't say it, though!
　I'm a failure learner.

I said, "If you want to touch my breasts, you'll have to use mine.
　It's said in a dumbfounded way, and Lucy presses against my chest.
　I can usually feel her back........
　Looking at Lucy's expression, she must be teasing me.
　But I touched her with my right hand just now, so I didn't feel anything.
　It's annoying not to do anything.

'Well, if Lucy says so,'
　I put my hand on Lucy's chest with my moving left hand.
　I continue to enjoy the soft touch.

''Heh!''
　Lucy, whose face has turned red, hurriedly twists away from me.
　And then she hugged her body and stared upwards at me.

I'm not sure what's wrong with you.　At a time like this, my usual mako wouldn't be cool and touch me!
　That's my girl, Lucy. I've known her a long time.
　She knows me.
　In the past, I would have used my 'clear water' skills and pretended to be calm.

　But lately, I've been in a life and death situation.
　These days, I'm more loyal to my instincts.
　I told Lucy with a grin.　

"Don't think of me as the old me, Lucy. I'm growing up every day.
You can't just touch a woman's breasts and have her look so smug...
　Lucy's flippancy is not very good.
　Mr. Furiae said, "They're all idiots," and left the hospital room, taking the black cat with him.

　It's just me and Lucy in the room.
　We're alone.

'Well, well, you can touch it all you want in that case.
'Yeah!'
　Lucy sticks out her shapely breasts.
　What is she talking about?

Hey, what's going on?　You're the hero who saved King's Landing, so embrace a woman or two proudly, as you please.
d*mn!
　I wasn't expecting that!
　I didn't know they were going to be so aggressive!
　It's Rosalie's bloodline, after all.
　But is she embarrassed by the stone, although her face is red all the time.

(What should I do...?)
　We are alone in the hospital room.
　Going through this would embarrass Lucy.

'Well, then, feel free.'
"Hm.
　I reached for Lucy's body, and she leaned in close to me.

Takatsuki-kun?
　Right next to him, Sa-san was standing right there!
　I-I don't know when.

What are you doing?　Roo-chan.
　Sa-san's unassuming tone is scary.
　But Lucy is not too flustered.

'Mako woke up and was frustrated, or maybe she was mad at me for touching Hooli's breasts. So I told him to be patient with me.
"Heh?　Heeeee!　Takatsuki-kun?　on Fu-chan's chest?　What did you do with them?
　My childhood friend from junior high school astonished me.

'Look, Makoto. Touch Aya's, too.
Luce!
Hey, Lucy!
　This guy is insane.

Aya was worried that her breasts didn't get any bigger, even though she's transformed into Queen Lamia. Why don't you help her?
Luu-chan!　You're not supposed to say that!
　At Lucy's words, Sa-san, who usually doesn't get too upset, blocked Lucy's mouth.

　Hearing those words, I looked at Sa-san's body.
　Your body shape hasn't changed much since the first year of high school.
　To be exact, her true identity is Lamia, but the size of her breasts didn't change much in Lamia.

　Originally, it seems that the Lamia tribe has a glamorous body shape....
　Sa-san has the 'Change' skill, so she can take on any shape she wants.
　But his pride doesn't allow him to use "Change" to water down his body.
　Therefore, even in human form, Sa-san's chest is modest.

''Takatsuki-kun, ... what are you looking at?''
　Sa-san stared at me.

'Don't worry, I like it (even if it's small)!
　Gulp, I told him cheerfully, giving him a thumbs up.

".........
　Lucy and Sa-san are looking at me with a funny look on their faces.

'Mako, it's weird, isn't it?'
You're a little strange to begin with, Takatsuki.
Rude.
　I objected to Lucy and Sa-san's words.

Well, it's okay. Takatsuki-kun said he liked me.
　With that, Sa-san climbed into bed where I was sleeping.
'Oh, hey, that's not fair,'
　How did you get in there, Lucy?
　It's a little tougher than I thought.


　It was like that.
　The three of us are having a good time with our friends.


...Makoto the hero?
　An icy cold voice and expression.
　And Princess Sophia, emitting an extremely cold air, was smiling.
