　A spark of the light of the previous generation of heroes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kannagi spoke of such a thing in front of the glowing vortex.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the nuance, it must be some kind of power.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. I'll take you with me."

　He has such an innocent smile on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how old Kannagi is, but I don't think he looks that different from us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... what should I do?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Our options are limited.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least staying here does not guarantee our escape.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the other hand, if Kannagi takes us to ...... I'm not sure what that spark of light is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have a vague bad feeling about this, but I also know that we should not take the option of not moving at this point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"All right, let's go see what we can find.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey, wait a minute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait for me, you son of a b*tc*."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Heh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ciel and I grab Koga's shoulders at the same time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm a little surprised that Mr. Ciel keeps holding me back in a way that I can't tell whether it's an honorific or a sarcasm, and I glare at Koga.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why are you coming with us?　Isn't it strange?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it is. Why don't you understand the situation better than he does?　Even a child can understand, can't he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ciel asked, and Keira nodded her head in horror.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Coga, however, shows no sign of remorse and smiles wryly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, hey, you don't have a choice but to go with them. I can see how it would be troublesome for Usato for sure. But we have nothing to do with it. We're just going to enjoy watching from behind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Whoa?　Whoa?　You want some?　I'll take that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Coga smiles belligerently in frustration.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Don't be provoked. I've come this far and I don't want to deal with this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"They're going to follow us anyway. Keira, stay close to Ciel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, wow, is that me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry. But that's a child who has almost nothing to do with us. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......, I understand."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ciel then holds hands with Keira in a puzzled manner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Judging from his words and actions so far, he might be someone who is in a position close to the Demon King.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, he's not a bad guy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"---You guys are coming too. Hmmm...well, okay..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kira gives a frightened look to Kannagi, who mutters something disinterested.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I step into the vortex as carefully as possible, stepping in between to hide her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, I was surrounded by a white light, and the next moment I was standing in a different place from where I had just been.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Transference?　The space that was transferred was a vast space that appeared to have been half destroyed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ivy plants of unknown origin grew from overhead, and the floor was littered with debris.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it was not dark, but rather, there were inlays of shiny, pale stone-like objects throughout the room, illuminating this vast space.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was perplexed by the obviously different atmosphere from the place I had been, Keira noticed something and pointed in a certain direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Usato-san, that's ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Looking in the direction Keira pointed, I saw what looked like a stone coffin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kannagi emerges from the space and walks toward the coffin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Come on, this way!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We walk with vigilance, ready for whatever may come.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The stone coffin is tightly closed, and we cannot see inside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Come on, open it up."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no, I'm afraid of ......, I don't want to."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've seen this in movies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The first person who touches it gets cursed for some reason or another and gets in trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kannagi gives me a dumbfounded smile when I am scared stiff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There are no dead bodies or ghosts in there, so don't worry. Come on, come on, come on."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You're rushing me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess we'll just have to make do with what we've got.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I try to lift up the sarcophagus with my hand in the gap between the lids, intending to throw the spark of light at the worst possible moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A little surprised at the weight of the sarcophagus, I forcibly move it out of the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow, that's a lot of power. It's like an ogre."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is what you look like without even trying. You're a monster."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll do my best ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel like I'm being told something unconvincing by the demon people. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll give Keira a heads up later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a thud, I moved the lid of the sarcophagus and finally peeked inside..,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......!　This is ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Inside was a girl who looked just like Kannagi.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was wearing clothes similar to a kimono, and her eyes were closed as if she were asleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there were tears of blood streaming from her left eye, which added to the eeriness of the scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why, this person has a ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What caught my eye more than anything else was the fact that the girl had a sword stuck in her chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Another one of the swords that was used as the basis for my baskets. ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword glowed with a pale light---it was undoubtedly the other sword that the hero had handled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is what I brought you here for," he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kannagi, this is ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's me. It is my body that was sealed in this place just before the previous heroes fought the Demon King.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other Kannagi sits on the sarcophagus in which he sleeps.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You mean the previous heroes who fought against the ...... Demon King, you know?　No way, the reason why the Demon King sent me to this place is ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, this is getting interesting."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now I wonder if it was a good idea for Koga on the Demon Lord's side to hear this story?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It might lead to a battle, but considering the character of ...... this guy, it's better if he doesn't attack us now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If that happens, we should move Keira to a safe place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But, are you saying that the previous heroes sealed her as a companion?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard from Hayate that Kannagi was a companion of the heroes in the hidden village in the Land of the Beastmen, didn't she?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, there's something we should check first of all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is this body alive?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is this body alive?" "Yes, it's alive. My body's frozen in time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Why did the previous hero seal you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know what it means, but he sealed me here alive. I don't know what it means, but he sealed me alive in here!　That's a surprise to me, too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how to look at Kannagi, who is so playful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She doesn't care about me, but she talks to me as if she wants my agreement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"And that too, right before the battle with the Demon King!　Don't you really understand me now?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Didn't the brave man take his sword with him? ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I think it's too reckless, even though he's already become so strong that he doesn't need me anymore. Before that, he used one of his swords on an evil dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's getting more and more out of the ordinary every time more information is revealed. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What kind of monster was the previous brave man? .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The only thing that can free my body is the cage hand you hold."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... this guy who's sword is based on a ...... brave man's sword?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. I'm sure you've noticed that it resonates with you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's true that the baskets have been vibrating slightly for a while now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So we know that the sword stuck in Kannagi's chest is real.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After hearing all this, I don't know if I can trust her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As far as I know, the previous heroes were not bad people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Would such a person suddenly do such a thing to Kannagi, who is his best ally, even if it was someone who had betrayed him?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is possible that Kannagi was actually a very bad person and the hero sealed him up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"For now, let's bind Kannagi himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My first conclusion, based on these possibilities, was to block the movements of Kannagi, who seemed to be in danger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this, the other kanagi also panics.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait a minute!　Please wait!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Excuse me. Can you go find something to tie me up with?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why should I go find something to tie me up for someone who's trying to tie me up?　Isn't it funny?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there's nothing here that's convenient for tying up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There's nothing but rubble around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He's trying to make a guy who can't even move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow, people are scary. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Be careful, be careful, be careful. ...... I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I go through the mumblings behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kannagi rushes to his feet and jumps out in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her expression looks very impatient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ki, I know it's natural to doubt your character, but I'm not trying to harm you!　On the contrary, I want to help you!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, ......, no, I don't want it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't say that!　Listen to me first!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I start to feel a little sorry for him, so I decide to listen to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm still skeptical, but I'm not sure if I'm too quick to judge Kannagi's words as a lie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't care about Kannagi's body at this point!　But I want you to receive the seed fire of a brave man's light!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What is this 'spark of light'?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　....... Obviously, there was a word that bothered me, but should I pursue it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Should I pursue this? First, let's ask about the "spark of light.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The spark of light is the source of magic possessed by the previous heroes. If you possess it, you will be able to use the same magic as the previous heroes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... expect me to believe in something so convenient?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's not convenient. It's a necessity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other Kannagi puts his hand on the sword that is stuck in Kannagi's chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This sword has been used by brave men in thousands and thousands of battles. It is no exaggeration to say that it contains the memories of all his battles. It naturally contains the memory of his magic and some of its power."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... can't you leave it with someone other than me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'd be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to that kind of power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it's obviously not appropriate for me to have such power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For example, if senpai and Leona-san could use light magic, they would be invincible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least they should be able to handle it much better than me who can only punch and kick.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's impossible. No normal human being would be able to withstand such a feat of implanting someone else's magic lineage. You're right, ...... it's a lot like the procedure vampires use to turn humans into their own kind."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is what Nair once half-jokingly referred to as a way to increase the number of vampires.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I usually don't like it when people explain it that way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Once you have this power, Kazuki, Suzune, and you can defeat the Demon Lord. We can bring about the peaceful world you've always wanted, you know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... peaceful world."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is true that if I could obtain the power that Kannagi mentioned, I could help Senpai, Kazuki, and Leona.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But is that really enough?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still feel that we are overlooking something important.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He casually turns his eyes to the group of kogas behind him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Pull it out. It'll definitely be interesting."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, please stop!　What are you doing? Are you letting the Demon Lord's enemies get stronger!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You stupid army leader!　Why, you!　You put your own personal feelings first!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ciel is kicking Coga, who is laughing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Keira is standing by her side, giving me an anxious look.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look back at Kannagi, determined to meet her gaze.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"---For now, I will wake you up. After that, I will decide whether or not to accept your power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"....... Yeah, that's fine. I'd rather talk to you in my own body."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kannagi looks somewhat relieved at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I raise my right arm, which has been vibrating since a few minutes ago, hoping that the relief is sincere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, how do you do it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Just grab it with your right arm and pull it out."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Should I do it while casting a healing spell?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. It looks like it's stuck, but it's not. Feel free to pull it out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it looks like it's stuck firmly in there.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Fearfully, he moves his right hand, which is wrapped in a cage, closer to the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the moment when he sees the faint light on the sword change to a light similar to Kazuki's magic---like being attracted by a magnet, it is as if it were a magnet.　The baskets are attached to the swords with a clunking sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As soon as Kannagi's smiling figure disappeared, several rays of light seemed to flow from the sword to the cage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alarm bells ring in my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am tormented by the sensation that something is being rewritten in my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Something is about to happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Something is about to happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　　I ask Nair to follow the traces of magic and we proceed through the ruins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Leona is helping us to break down the walls in our way, but we have yet to meet up with Usato and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... is strange."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong?　"Nair."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I call out to her, who is twisting her head with her hands on the floor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Could it be that the trace of magic power has been lost?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She turns around at the sound of my voice, which is laced with anxiety.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The high density of magic in the air is almost gone," she says.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, is that a bad thing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I guess it's a good thing because you don't have to worry about magic sickness anymore. ...... The question is, what was the magic used for that was floating around in this huge ruin?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I still wonder if it has something to do with the fact that we were separated?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At Nea's words, Leona, who had been listening around her, spoke to her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe. But the fact that it took that much magical power means that some kind of extraordinary magic or sorcery was used.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can you follow the trail yet?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No problem there. In fact, it's easier to follow now that there's no more magic in the way. ...... At any rate, the magic residue is continuing that way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nair's finger points in the right direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I walk with my hand on Bulrin's back, the figure of Ferrum, who has been restless for some time, comes into view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is Ferrum worried about everyone?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　"Of course not!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You're being stubborn again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I laugh at his obvious response, and say how I honestly feel about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We're worried about you, but I guess we've gotten used to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I hate it. I don't like that kind of familiarity ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I agree."

　Leona, who had been looking forward to the meeting as if she had heard it, agreed with Ferrum's mutterings.

"It's true that I'm not ...... worried."

"Yeah."

"But when I take my eyes off them, I'm worried that they're doing something wrong. Especially Usato."

""I can see that."""

　I was so convinced that I couldn't help but hear the sound of Nair's voice.

　Nair, who had been following the trail, turns around with a pale face.

"I imagine that while I'm doing this, Usato might be making up some more incomprehensible tricks ......."

"No, it's not possible in such a short time."

"No, you were just now making some kind of unexplainable technique like the healing explosion wave!　When did you make that!

　Leona-san looks uncomfortable as she talks to Néa who is so indignant.

"Ah, Nea. I think that the technique called "Healing Explosion Wave" was made a little while after the battle of the Demon King's Army. He had wrought it during his hand-to-hand combat with me.

"So soon?　Oh, no, no, no, that brainiac!　You hid it from us! ......!　And the healing bombs?

That's ...... probably from the fight earlier.

"Whaaaaa?"

　Nair's head is in his hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the outside, I think "Usato, you made another new technique", but from the point of view of Nair who supports him, it must be a big deal.

　The question of what he is talking about with healing magic has long since disappeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Specifically, from around the time when Usato invented the healing magic bullet.

　You feel a strange presence and turn around, but all you see behind you is a pile of rubble and ruins.

　Just as he was about to say, "It's nothing," to Ferrum and Bulrin, who had called out to him..,

<<< Ah!　I can finally talk! >>

　Someone appears with noise in an empty space.

　Leona-san leaps out in front of us and holds up the spear of a brave warrior.

"Who are you?

"......"

　Leona's unexpectedly cheerful voice makes her look doubtful.

　As the distorted figure becomes clearer, its golden hair and familiar face are revealed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A fair face and a bandaged left eye.

　And when I saw the girl wearing a kimono similar to Hinomoto's, I let out an unintentional cry of astonishment.

"What?　Kannagi?

"Huh?　...... nice to meet you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What are you talking about?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is the third time I've seen this man, including in my dreams.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His left eye is bandaged, but his face is unmistakably the same person.

　So why do you react as if this is the first time you've met .......

"Who are you?"

　She looks me straight in the eye as I ask my question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her image becomes clearer, but still wavers from time to time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps she is a ghostly being without substance. ...... Is this person really the Kannagi I know?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She took a small deep breath and opened her mouth in determination,

"""......"""

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... What?　Did you bite me?　Did you just bite me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She held her mouth and blushed. She looked at us dumbfounded and coughed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"""......"""

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Awkward silence for both sides.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps unable to bear it any longer, the person claiming to be Kannagi looks away and speaks rather quickly.

"...... voice?　Could it be that you were talking to Usato at ......?"

　Before coming to these ruins, Usato was sent a voice that sounded like a warning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Was it Kannagi who was in front of him?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She crosses her arms and starts nodding her head in confusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He's usually so foul-mouthed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my dream, Kannagi seemed aloof.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kannagi started to talk more and more even though he was not listening to anything, and Nair spoke to him quizzically.

The other you?　What do you mean by that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other Kannagi.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Until now I had thought that he was untrustworthy, but the person in front of me now, who calls himself Kannagi, seems strangely trustworthy---so I think.
