◇ Anna's point of view ◇.

"Hmmm ......, that's not ....... I can't attack that thing. ....... Please tell me if you knew about it too, Ila-sama~ ......
　Makoto's having a nightmare in bed.
　It's been three days since I've been back.
　He's been like that for three days now.
　...... Who is Ila-sama?
　I'm sure you don't mean the goddess.

"Makoto-sama(......), are you thirsty?　Yes, please drink some water.
"Thank you, ......, Momo.
　Momo-chan is giving Makoto-san a glass of water.
　Makoto does as she is told.

I'll make lunch.　I'll make lunch for you, okay?
Thank you, Momo.
Don't worry, Mako-sama, you've been pushing yourself too hard.　
　Momo-chan is stroking Makoto-sama's hair and calling out to him gently.
　She looks like a woman who spoils a useless man. .......
　I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to make of it.　I'm not sure what to do.
　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

"Shiro Dragon-sama.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work.
It's because you met a horrible being in the underwater temple .......
I know, but it's time for him to come back.
　In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information here.
　I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to do.
　I'm not sure what to say.
　It doesn't seem to hurt too much.

"Master Hakuryu!　What are you doing?
　Momo-chan cries out in anger.

"What?　You're weak. You're still the man who took me by force!
"......, I'm getting up.
　I'm going to get up now." Makoto stood up from the bed, stretching.
　You'll be able to see that he's a lot better looking than he was three days ago.

"Um, ......, Makoto-san. What the hell happened to you?　In the Underwater Temple.
　I asked timidly.
　In fact, Makoto was so depressed that I couldn't ask him in detail what had happened.

"Oh, you know... ......
　This is the first time that I've ever seen such a thing.



　I'm not sure what to say.



I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I've heard of it.
　I'm sure you've heard of it.

I'm sure you've heard of it.
Well, the beast was a terrible thing, but there was a bigger problem. ......
Problems?
I'm sorry, my king. ......
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
I'm sure you'll agree.　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm here.　d*mn you, Olympos!　When our Lord is resurrected, ......
"Yes, stop. Dea, shut up.
　I'm not sure what to say, but I'd like to know what you think.
　Neptus is one of the high gods who is the uncle of Altena, the goddess of the sun.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

I'm not sure what to make of this.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.　You little bastard! You little bastard!
"It's the truth!
　Momo-chan fights back.

"Don't fight, both of you. I'll keep working on the Underwater Temple. I can't think of a way to get to ......, but... It's just too hard to do without spirit magic. ......


　Makoto let out a big sigh.

　His tone of voice was his usual self.
　Maybe he was getting back on track.
　That's when it happened.


"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!


　He was frozen in place and hurriedly interrupted the conversation.

I'm sure you're not the only one.　You know what I'm talking about!　I'm sure you've heard of it.　It's a weapon of interstellar warfare that was used in the wars of the gods in mythical times!　It's no match for it!
　This is a weapon of interstellar warfare!
　I've never heard the term "...... Seikan War" before.
　I'm sure you've heard of it.

I know what it is. I was told about it by the goddess of .......
　Makoto said with a disgusted look on his face.

I heard that the Leviathan's ability is to turn the entire world into an ocean through a great flood. It is one of the three major forces in the Divine War. I don't think I'll be able to fight that thing properly. We'll just have to make it through somehow.
Do you think you can?　It's a mythical monster that has fought the old gods and even the outer gods!　You can't compare me to a demon lord!
I'm not sure what you're talking about, but that's my main goal. ...... Well, I'll try not to bother you, Mel.　
No, pissing off the Divine Beast Leviathan will destroy the world. ....... What the hell are you thinking about ......?
Don't worry, I'm not going to fight that thing.
I hope so. ......
　I'm not sure I follow what Hakuryu-sama and Makoto-san are saying.

　I'm not sure what to make of this, but I do know that he's not giving up on his goal, even against such a formidable opponent.

"Well, let's go train. Momo, let's go.
"Oh, you should be more lenient. Here, let me put you on my lap.
I don't know if I can sleep any longer. I've got about a week's worth of sleep.
Oh, Master's back to normal.
How'd it go while you were away?
"Well, look at that. It's perfect, Master will be surprised!
　While they were talking, Makoto and Momo-chan disappeared.

"Oh dear. ......
　The Shiro Dragon sat down on a chair in the temple, as if relieved.
　He made himself a cup of tea and made himself comfortable.
　I wasn't sure what to do, so I headed towards where Makoto and Momo were practicing.
　From outside, I could hear their voices.


What?
　When I got outside and saw them, I was taken aback.


"Alteration magic!　And teleportation!
　Momo-chan, who had altered herself into seven people, was attacking Makoto-san while moving erratically or teleporting through space.
　I can't follow it with my eyes!
　I don't know how long you've had this magic, Momo-chan!


　But that's when it started to get interesting.


"Water Magic, Water Prison".
　Without any sign of panic, Makoto used the spell.
　With a swoosh, a water capturing spell appeared, and all seven Momo-chan were captured.

What?　They were all caught at the same time!　I was in a complete blind spot!　Why?
"That was a pretty good attack. You scared me.
You didn't rush me at all!　How did you do that?
I used a 360-degree view and a mind gas pedal. Also, my water magic works fast.

"Mmm, I thought I could surprise Master!
You surprised me.
I'm not surprised at all!　Now is not the time to look foolish. I'll show you my special move!
All right. Even the gods can't break my "clear mirror".
Just because you went to the sea for a bit of training and had a scary experience doesn't mean you can break your master's normal mind!
"Don't say that!
　Don't say that!" While conversing, Momo-chan unleashes a Thunderbolt.
　It works fast!

That's sweet, little one.
　The Great Spirit of Water appears next to Makoto, and dispels the Thunderbolt with his hand.


　Thunderbolt is a high-level magic.
　I can't believe you can block it like a leaf!

　After that, Momo-chan attacked one after another with various attacks.
　Momo-chan then launched a variety of attacks, all of which Makoto was able to parry with ease.
　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.


(Oh, look, ...... Momo-chan is getting really strong. ......?


　I'm not going to say anything about Mako.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　I'm not sure if I'm the weakest one in this party ......?

I'm not sure what to do.
　If I don't, I'll become a burden!

　I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it, but I'll try.



　I'll be back.



I'm not sure what to do.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I'll be fine today, I slept last night.
...... Oh, really?
　You are joking, right?
　I'm afraid it sounds like you're serious.

"Wow, ......, my king, I'm going to bed.
"Oh, good night. Dea.
　The Great Spirit of Water (Dea) is sleeping!

　Momo-chan is long asleep.
　I'm not sure about vampires who go to bed early and wake up early. .......
　I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure what to make of this.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　I'm not sure what to say, but I sat down next to him.

"Anna-san?
　She called my name in a puzzled voice.
　I sat down next to her and leaned slightly on her shoulder.

To be honest, I'm at a loss. ......
　I put my head on Makoto's shoulder and whispered.
　I was hoping that she would hug me back, but she didn't.
　She stopped practicing her magic and turned her head towards me.

I'm sure you've heard from Mel that the Sword of Light can now be activated, right?
"...... Yes, but you can only use it for a few seconds.
　I answered in a small voice.

　This is the only magic sword technique that could be used against the Demon Lord Cain in the Great Labyrinth.
　It lasts only a few seconds, just long enough to deliver a blow in sunlight.
　After that, it would take a while to activate it again.
　To be honest, I don't think it can be used in a real battle.
　But Makoto had a different idea.

That's enough.
　He grinned, as if he was planning to do something bad.

"Enough?
　I don't know what that means.
　I don't know what you mean. A magic sword technique that can only be used for a few seconds is useless.

In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will work for you.
You know, Makoto-san, ......?
I'm not sure what to make of this. I'll stop the demon king from moving so that he can't avoid it.
"......
　Is he really saying that?　Is he serious?

"You're kidding, right? I was about to say, "Are you kidding?
　The look in his eyes wasn't joking, and he didn't even realize it.



　--that degree is no big deal.



　That's what I felt when I looked into Makoto's eyes.
　Who the hell is this person? ......?
　It's not like anyone else I've ever met.
　I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.


　My heart thumped in my chest.


　While he was gone, I thought about him.
　When Makoto came back, I found myself following him with my eyes.

　Whenever I went to bed at night, I used to cry because of the death of the fire hero.
　But lately I don't cry anymore.
　When I think about Mako, I feel at ease.

　Momo-chan teased me, and I denied it.
　But it seems that I can't ...... cover it up.


(When I defeat the demon king, I'll also ...... tell you how I feel.


　For now, I'll concentrate on my duties.
　I'm going to use the magic sword technique that only I can use, the Sword of Light.
　And then, I will defeat the demon king, which is the long-cherished wish of the "fire brave" who raised me, and restore this continent to the hands of the human race.


　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.



　I'm sorry.



　Six months after that.

　I've been working with Momo-chan to train myself as much as possible.
　I was taught magic by the Shiro Dragon, the sword reminded me of the teachings of the Fire Brave, and in between I prayed to the Sun Goddess.



　Momo-chan has been getting better and better.
　Makoto-san helps Momo-chan with her training, consults with me, and sometimes goes to the Undersea Temple.



　And then, the day of the battle against the ---- Demon King arrived.
