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

Anyway, I'm going to talk to her afterwards.

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

"You'd better. It's too late for regrets."

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

"Leona, you're going back to Mialak, aren't you?"

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

　...... No, I'm going to be reminded that I'm really out of place.

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

　We'll have to welcome you then.

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

　With the pleasure of the evening at hand, we go out through the hall door into the corridor.

　After saying goodbye to Leona, I and my senpai went straight to the place where Kazuki was supposed to be.

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

　According to my senpai, he is either in the garden or in his room, so let's go there first.

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

"Well, what should we talk about first?

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

"Why don't we start with something fun for a change?"

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

"Fun stuff ......"

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

　......The first thing that comes to mind is training, and I realize that it must be a pretty bad idea.

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

　However, even I can at least make some conversation that can blossom.

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

　I arrive at the garden while having a light chat with my senpai and go outside to find Kazuki, ---Furana and Celia-sama in front of me.

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

"Hey, something doesn't look right."

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

"It's tense. ......"

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

　This is not the usual fluffy air of the three of us.

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

　It is somewhat tense---Furana is radiating a sense of tension as if he is in the middle of a battle, while Kazuki seems to be cornered in a way that is not typical of him.

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

　Sensing something unusual in the atmosphere, I and my senpai quickly approach the space where the tables and chairs are laid out, and...,

"Hmph!"

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

"Nugu!"

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

　With a loud and forceful voice, Frana-san punched Kazuki on the cheek.

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

　Kazuki is pushed backward with considerable force, and he falls on his backside and touches his cheek, looking stunned.

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

Kazuki was stunned and touched his cheek.""......?"""

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

　Behind Frana, who is breathing on her shoulder, is Celia, who is forcing herself to cross her arms with a grim expression on her face.

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

　Kazuki, who is sitting up like a duck, is not fully comprehending the situation.

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

　---I'm not in the right mood to be here.

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

　I exchange glances with my senpai, who is rolling his eyes next to me.

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

"Is this a shuraba?　Is this a situation?"

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

"I didn't expect Frana to start hitting me. ...... Oh, Kazuki noticed us."

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

　Kazuki looked at me as if to ask for help, but before he could look at me, Frana and Celia-sama looked at me with their eyes.

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

Kazuki, hang in there!

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

This is the time to show your manhood, Kazuki!

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

　We both gave Kazuki a thumbs-up and hid in the shadows to watch the situation.

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

"Both of you!

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

"Where are you looking, Kazuki?"

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

"Mr. Kazuki?"

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

　I have no idea how we got into this situation.

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

　I don't know, but I do know that this situation is a turning point that will surely bring some kind of change to Kazuki.

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

　Anyway, keep up the good work, Kazuki!

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

Good luck!

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

　To return to the world.

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

　It was something I had tried not to think about for a long time.

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

　At first I wanted to go back, but as I spent time in this world, I got to know a lot of people, and I got to know a lot of good things.

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

　But I have a family.

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

　My parents who raised me this far... if I don't go back, I will never be able to show filial piety to them and I will never see them again.

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

　I have to choose.

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

　But if I abandon either world, I can never come back to that world. That fact is the only thing that will always haunt me.

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

　But until today, I have not been able to make a decision, in fact, I have been giving up the very thought of it.

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

"Huh."

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

　The time limit of the scroll that Mr. Farga mentioned.

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

　Or, to be more precise, once the "coordinates" and "time" of our world have been inscribed in advance, there is time... -But until I make a decision, I can't stay in this world with my thoughts in limbo.

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

　Usato is already looking ahead to what he has to do.

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

　For the sake of human beings and the demon tribe living in the Demon Lord's territory, he has given up even his own world and is acting according to his own ideas.

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

　I, on the other hand, have no idea what to do and can only worry.

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

　My mission as a brave man is over.

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

　Then I don't know what I should do from now on.

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

"Mr. Kazuki, are you all right?"

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

"Celia ...... and Frana too ......"

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

"You're being pessimistic again, aren't you?"

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

　While I was alone in the garden, Frana and Celia came to me.

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

　They smile at me, apologizing for making me worry all the time.

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

"Sorry, I don't think I can decide yet.

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

There's no need to rush. Whatever path you take, we will accept that fact.

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

　Celia's kind words make my heart ache as if it were creaking.

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

　It is not their fault.

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

　It's my own indecision that's to blame.

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

You know...

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

　I don't want to choose.

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

　I can't cut out one or the other.

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

　With this thought in my mind, I throw words to both of them.

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

"Frana, Celia, do you want me to stay ......?　If you want me to, I'll..."

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

"Wait, Mr. Kazuki."

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

　Celia stops him, unable to finish.

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

　When I looked up at them, I was taken aback by their unusual, strong tone of voice, and their expressions seemed to be somewhat angry.

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

　What, what, I'm scared... .......

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

　I recoil involuntarily, and Frana speaks up next.

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

"Kazuki, are you ...... serious?"

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

"......Yes."

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

　At that moment, Frana's face turns grim.

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

　She grabbed me by the chest and slammed her big fist against my cheek.

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

　---Shocking.

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

　I sat down on the ground after being hit by her big fist, and looked up at her in confusion.

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

"What?　What?　Does it hurt ......?"

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

"Huh--"

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

　Did he hit you?

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

　And with a goo?

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

　Not even a slap, but straight up?

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

　While I was still confused, I suddenly found Senpai and Usato looking at me with surprised eyes.

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

　They too, seemingly not understanding the situation, looked at me and Frana and the others with puzzled looks, and then nodded their heads and showed me their thumbs.

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

Kazuki, good luck!

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

"This is the time to show your manhood, Kazuki!"

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

"Both of you!

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

　Don't come in here and read the air like that!

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

　He reaches out for help, but Frana and Celia are standing in front of him.

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

"Where are you looking, Kazuki?"

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

"Mr. Kazuki?"

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

　The power of these two is unimaginable from their usual ......!

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

　As I'm being overwhelmed, Frana steps in front of me.

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

"Huh, Frana ...... Frana-san?"

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

"Shut up and listen. I'm about to get irrationally angry with you.

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

　I can't help but speak respectfully, and Frana looks down at me with her arms crossed.

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

　Her eyes were burning with anger, indicating how much my words had struck a chord with her.

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

"You can stay in this world if we want you to. That's what you were going to say earlier, wasn't it?"

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

"Oh, I ...... think I'm pathetic, but ...... I'm not."

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

"No, I'm not. I don't think you're pathetic or anything. I know you think that. But you know what, Kazuki?

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

　Frana says it to me as if she's trying to convince me.

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

　You didn't hit me because you felt sorry for me and were disillusioned by what I said?

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

"That's not our decision to make."

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

"But I'm ......"

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

"I know that both worlds are important to you. But this is a choice you absolutely have to make."

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

　A choice I have to make for myself.

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

　Frana continues to speak, her expression saddened.

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

"We want you to stay in this world, too. Because you are important to us. It's only natural."

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

"Then, even more so..."

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

"But you know, I'm sure your father and mother would want you to come back as much ...... as we do, if not more."

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

"That's why you're so worried. That's why we can't be selfish and ask you to stay in this world. Above all, your happiness should take precedence over that of saving this country."

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

　I'm such an idiot.

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

　I am so ashamed of myself for saying such an insensitive thing without thinking of Frana and Celia's feelings.

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

"I know it sounds harsh, but ...... don't give up choosing and don't take the easy way out. What lies ahead is not who we know you to be."

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

"......Oh ......Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry, I was wrong."

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

　This is something I, myself, absolutely have to answer for.

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

　I stand up with my cheeks pressed together, determined to give an answer, no matter how much it bothers me.

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

"...... Are you okay?　I hit him rather hard. ......"

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

"Ha ha, I'm fine. But I think it's a bit much to put illusion magic in there, don't you?　My vision is still a bit wobbly."

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

"What, I didn't use ......, did you get your chin in it?"

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

"It's pretty swollen. ......

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

　I laugh at them as I begin to cast a recovery spell on them in a panic.

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

　Sighing lightly, Frana then turns her attention to Usato and Senpai, who are watching us from the shadows.

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

"The two who are hiding there..."

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

"Hey, come here, come here."

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

　Senpai and Usato, called by Frana, come to this place looking very uncomfortable.

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

　The senior, who may not have heard what they were talking about, calls out to Frana in a reserved manner, though he is puzzled.

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

"Frana......,no, Frana-san. Should I sit down?"

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

"No, why do you use honorifics, Suzune?　Why are you being so deferential?

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

"...... Frana, a tsundere and a violent person are two different things. Don't go off the rails, okay?"

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

"I'm sorry. Could you please talk to me in a human language?"

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

"Kya-um."

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

　A senior is countered with a smile and sunk.

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

　As expected of Frana, she knows how to handle senpai.

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

　Usato, who saw the downed senpai with a sideways glance, turns his palm toward her with a smile on his face.

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

"Frana, I'm fine."

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

"Oh, yeah?"

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

"I'm ready to be pissed off."

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

"Not okay at all, are you?　You don't have to be okay with that, okay?

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

　He seems to think he's going to be just as mad at me as I am at him.

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

　Instead, Frana puts her hands on her hips in exasperation and opens her mouth to the two of us sitting on the floor for some reason.

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

"Anyway, we'll talk about it. Anyway, we'll talk about it. I think it's time to let it all out and empty his head!

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

"I see, that's what we can do for Kazuki."

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

　Senpai and Usato look convinced, and Frana continues to speak.

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

"And, if you can, do some exercise until you fall down!"

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

I don't know how long it will take for me to exercise until I fall down!

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

　Usato suddenly raises his hand and says something funny like that.

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

　He glances around to see her reaction, and she grabs him by the face with a blue streak on her forehead.
