◇Anna's point of view

 --A few years ago.

 My mother's village in the floating continent was attacked by the Demon King's army, so I was spending time in my father's small village in the western continent.
 My parents had already passed away and I was being taken care of by my mother's friend, Master Olga, a fire hero.

"Abel, you should train less. Get some rest. You look tired.
 Master Olga, who has a sturdy body for a woman, called out to me as if she was concerned about me.

 It was true that I was wobbly as I was swinging my sword.
 My master, who was training with me, wasn't even sweating.

...... is no good. I want to be as strong and brave as my master and avenge my parents! So I have to train harder.
"You're so serious, Abel. You're just like your mother.
 Master Olga gently patted me on the head.
 I felt reassured by her hand, but at the same time displeased because I was being treated like a child.

 I stared at my arm.
 Unlike Master's, my arms are too thin.
 Unreliable.

Don't be too hard on yourself. In the first place, Abel has the blood of the Heavenly Winged Tribe, a race of women only. I'm mixed with the Beastmen, so I'm bigger and stronger. It's just a race difference.
"Also .......
Don't rush into training. You'll become something special.
 I think the reason I'm special is because of my constitution.

 I'm both a hero and a priestess.
 Apparently, no one has ever done so before.
 That's why my master has high expectations for me.

"I will become strong enough to protect my master!
"Hmm, I see. That's good to know. Will you protect me?
 I felt sad when I saw Master's face smiling sadly.

 My master's lover was killed by the Demon King's army.
 It seems that she had lost her life protecting him during the battle.
 Since then, Master Olga has been alone.

 A hero who has fought alone and not with other heroes.
 He took me as his apprentice because he was close to my mother and I was an orphan.

 One day, I want to fight alongside Master Olga.
 That was my goal.
 I never stopped swinging my sword.

I've been alone for a long time, but I hope Abel can find a confidant or ...... a lover.
 I heard the master murmuring.
 It's very abrupt.

I can't have a girlfriend. Because of my constitution.
 I chuckle.
 I have a special constitution that has both female and male genders.

 Perhaps because of this, I've never been in love with anyone.
 I'm sure I never will.
 The only person I can say that I have feelings for is Master Olga.
 It's more like familial love.

You never know. Your mother was passionate and crossed species to marry your father. The Winged are not supposed to marry other races. With that mother's blood in your veins, you're sure to meet the man of your dreams.
"Huh, ......, is that so?
 I replied absent-mindedly and continued to swing my sword.

"By the way, what are Abel's requirements for a marriage partner?
 Master asked me in a teasing tone.
 Surprisingly, there was a side of him that liked this kind of talk.

 But marriage...
 I can't even imagine it.

"The first condition is that you must be stronger than Master.
"That's tough.
 Master laughed.

"But if you see someone you like, make sure you tell him how you feel. In this day and age, you never know when you might not see them again.
If you're stronger than Master, you'll be able to handle any enemy that comes your way.
 "If you're stronger than Master, you'll be able to handle any enemy that comes your way." I was talking lightly at the time.


 But even the strongest master was no match for the Demon King.


 So I went to .......



 I'm sorry.



"Oh, um, ......
 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

Yes. What can I do for you? Anna-san.


 The always calm Mako is unusually upset.

(Phew, ......, calm down. I'm just telling you how I feel. ......)

"Makoto-san, ...... I love ...... you, ...... you, ...... you, ....... ......
"Anna?
 I can't say!
 You can't say "I love you" in four words!

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'm not sure what to do.
 I'm not sure what to say.  

 What do you mean you can't love someone?
 My heart is beating so fast.

 Calm down.
 In the first place, Makoto has a loved one waiting for him back home.
 That's why he'll never respond to my feelings.
 That's what Momo-chan told me.

 Remembering this, my head became calm.
 Yeah, I know the answer.
 I just have to tell her how I feel.

 Okay, I'll say it!



"I want you to marry me!



"What?
 Makoto's eyes rolled back in her head.
 Makoto's eyes rolled up in his head. He looked more surprised than I've ever seen him.  

Oh.
 Then I realized that I had said something stupid.

 What the hell are you talking about? 
 No, that's not what I meant!
 No, that's not what I meant!


"Marriage ......, marriage ......, that's unexpected ......, hmmm .......
 Oh, what?
 I'm not sure what to do.
 Is there a ...... pulse?

"......, shut up, Ila-sama. ......, I'm trying to think of a response.
"Makoto-san?
 I've been thinking about it for a while.

Anna-san.
Yes!
 I put my hand on my chest and waited for the next word.


I have someone waiting for me at ....... That's why I can't get married.
"......Yes.
 My heart ached at those words.
 That's right.
 You have a lover, Makoto.

 I'm not ...... supposed to be married to her.

 What were you expecting? .......

"Hey, Ila, seriously, shut up ...... and I'll cut the communication once.
 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

 Ah, ......, Master.
 I told him how I felt, but it's hard to be rejected. .......
 I'm going to cry. .......

"Anna.
"Yes, yes.
 Makoto put his hand on my shoulder.
 The face of the man I love was right in front of me.  

But I do care about you, Anna.
What?
 My heart was beating fast again.

"So, ......, I will protect you. No matter what the enemy is.
What?
 I'm so glad.
 I've never heard anyone say that to me before.

"Makoto-san, ......
 The next thing I knew, my arm was around the back of Makoto's neck.
 I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

 Is it okay if I ......?
 I slowly moved my face closer ......

I'm not sure what to say. I'm sure you'll agree. What are you doing?
What?
"Oh! 
 Makoto's figure disappeared from in front of me.
 That was Momo-chan's teleportation.

Anna-san! I'm sorry. I didn't know you'd go that far!
You were watching ......?
 Shhh! I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.


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

I thought you wouldn't respond to my feelings because you have a girlfriend back home. Is it okay with you? Can't it be me? ......
No, no, no, no. Momo is just as important to me!
Are you sure?
 Momo-chan gives Makoto-san and me a suspicious look.

 You're the same ...... as Momo-chan.
 I don't know if that's true.
 He was going to let me kiss him earlier, but .......

 I'm sure you're not the only one.
 No, no, no, no, no, no.
 Makoto is a serious person.

 ...... Oh, my head is spinning.
 While I'm confused, Momo-chan is pressing Makoto-san.

I've been afraid to ask until now. I've been afraid to ask until now.
"Mine? No, it's .......
I'm interested too! Makoto!
Even you, Anna?
 I'm curious about Makoto's girlfriend.
 I wonder what he's like.
 I'm sure he's a nice guy.

"Yeah. ......
 I'm sure he's a wonderful guy.

"Master!
"Makoto-san!
 Momo-chan, as usual, is very pushy.
 Today I did the same.
 I'm not sure what you mean by that.



 I'm not sure what to say.



 Something strange has happened.

 I was prepared for Anna to confess her feelings for me, as I had been foretold by the Goddess of Fate (Ila), but I hadn't expected Momo to intervene and question me about my relationships with women.

(What are you going to do? (What are you going to do? Don't be so stupid as to tell me your little secret. At least tell her that she's prettier than you.

 I won't say it!
 The goddess of fate is giving me some stupid advice.
 However, Anna is also beautiful enough, and she is definitely cute.

"......
 The Great Sage (Momo) and the Brave Warrior of Light (Anna) are staring at me.
 They're not going to let me go until I talk.
 I don't have a choice.

"Well, my girlfriend is a red-haired elf wizard, .......
 I told him about Lucy.

 I saved her from a demon attack.
 We fought gryphons and abominations together.
 I think there are a lot of contradictions between our adventures a thousand years later and the situation a thousand years ago, but the Great Sage (Momo) and the Brave Warrior of Light (Anna) didn't seem to notice.

"Are you an elven wizard?" ......
"Master seems to enjoy talking about that person .......
 Both of them sagged down.
 Oh no, I've explained too much!

 I should have broken it down more.
 They asked me a lot of questions, so I answered honestly.
 Let's move on!

Next, the second person is .......
"What?
"What?" "Second?

What? Makoto Takatsuki! What are you talking about, you idiot?
(But it's not good for Sa-san to only talk about Lucy.)

 So I explained about Sa-san too.

"Are you my friend from school, ......?
"What country was your teacher in, ......?
Look! You're confusing the two of us by talking about something that happened before the transfer!

"And the third one.
"Where's ........................?
............ and ...... Makoto?

 I went on to explain about Princess Sophia.
 By this time, the expressions of the Great Sage (Momo) and the Brave Warrior of Light (Anna) had become suspicious.
 What is it?
 I'm not lying.

The fourth and final one is ......
 It's hard to explain, Freyae, I thought for a moment.

"Oh, Master. You don't have to say anything else.
"Makoto, I can't listen to this. ......


 I've been stopped by two people.

"Are you sure you don't want to explain the fourth one?
 That would be helpful, but I feel like I want to talk about it properly.

(Are you ...... this stupid?)
 (Are you such an idiot?) The abuse from the goddess of fate (Ila) echoed in my head.
 Stupid is rude.
 I didn't say anything funny. .......

"Master, you can't write and talk.
"Four is an exaggeration. Four is too many. It's better to have at least two people to make you look good.
 The Great Sage (Momo) and the Brave Warrior of Light (Anna) look at me sympathetically.

"Wait a minute! I'm not lying. ......
 I hurriedly denied it.  

I'm not lying,......, I denied it hurriedly. "Huh,......, Master is cute too. You pretended to have a girlfriend back home.
"I'm relieved. Don't worry, we love you .......
Ah! I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand. I love you more than I love Makoto-sama!
"Oh, love? Momo-chan is so extreme. ......
I don't want to hear about it from Anna-san, who tried to sneak out and kiss me!
 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

What? I'm sure you're not the only one.
 I shouted loudly.

 Then they turned to me with puzzled faces and said.



You're a virgin, aren't you?

"Makoto, you've never been with a woman before, have you?



"......
 You have no experience with women, right?

(Hahahahahahahaha!)

 As I fell silent, only Ila's laughter echoed in my head.
 Shut up.

You can't be a virgin if you have four lovers.
"No, wait, peaches. ......
 Yes, but...
 Yeah, that's true, but...

No, Momo-chan. Momo-chan, you have your own side of the story. You know? Mako.
Anna! Can you please stop looking at me so lovingly?
 I don't need your saintly kindness!
 No, you're a saint!

(Good for you, Makoto Takatsuki. Your girlfriend is now a delusion. Anna's in a good mood thanks to you. You did well.
 d*mn, I don't get it!


 After that, I explained a lot, but the Great Sage (Momo) and the Brave Warrior of Light (Anna) didn't believe me until the end.

 Finally, they said...

"Master, from now on, Anna and I will be lovers.
Whenever you want me, I'll be at .......
Anna, you're such a slut. ......
Hey! You slept in the same bed with Makoto last night!
You were looking in my room?
My eyes can see through an entire wall.
That's scary!

 Apparently, the two of them and I became "lovers" in an uncontrollable way.

(Hahahahahahahahaha! It turned out all right, Makoto Takatsuki! My stomach hurts from laughing so much.
 Ila-sama, you're smiling all the time.



 --And so, our bond with the hero of light deepened, and we cleared one of our concerns about defeating the Great Demon King.
