The white sandy beach and the blue sea, under the scenery that should be called the sea, Fate and I were sitting on leisure seats eating lunch that we had bought.
　The temperature is about a little cooler, and although it's not suitable for swimming, it can be said that it's the best place to eat while looking out at the ocean.

　The food we bought at the stall, none of the food is not super high quality goods, but the situation has enhanced the taste.......I felt very delicious.
　Then, as we were nearing the end of our meal to some extent, I looked out over the quiet beach and then opened my mouth.

'....but it's a beautiful beach and there's no one there at all.
I'm gone, though.
Um, is that the fate controlling power of the example?
Well, sort of.

　Fate-san's voice was very calm, and her eyes staring at the sea.............................with a sense of determination. While we were eating lunch, Fate-san wasn't talking much and seemed to be thinking about something.
　This is just a prediction........but I think Fate-san had an answer. Is the feeling in my heart really love or is it something else?

　That's why I don't say anything more, and quietly wait for Fate-san's words while I get lost in my thoughts. It's still noon........the time I had a date with Fate-san is only a few hours.
　You could call it a short time. However, I think it was enough time for my impression of Fate-san to change dramatically.

''........Hey, Kai-chan.

　After a moment's pause, Fate-san begins spinning her words quietly without turning to me.

'I'm having a lot of fun right now. I thought I had seen a fair amount of things over the years, but now I see things in a different light. I think I've seen the ocean more times than I can count, but it's just so much more beautiful.
....

　It sounded calm as if he was talking to himself, yet somewhat sad as if he was repenting.

''I.........am in love with Kai.......I love Kai........what I think... No, really, I knew it long before that. But I just couldn't admit it, so I looked away.
Mr. Fate.
... but... but... but...

　Why is that?　While telling me that you're in love with me and that you love me.......why does Fate-san have such a.........'sad face'?　Why does he sound like he's going to cry now?

"....I have no qualifications.......to love Kai-chan....
...What?

　A single tear spills out of Fate's eyes, and she turns around to look at me and then falls on her face in pain.

'I'm sorry.......I'm sorry Kai. I've been trying to........use Kai-chan for a long time. While saying that I liked it, I was always........using Kai-chan to make myself feel better.

　The words that were told to be squeezed out, the guilt that Fayette-san speaks of... but what is it?　I'm not sure, but this is probably ... 'not'.
　The main reason why Fate-san says she doesn't deserve to like me isn't guilt. There is still something, a factor that torments Fate-san's heart.

''........I don't think I need any qualifications to like someone.
....
And I've enjoyed the time I've spent with Fate-san up to now for some reason, and I don't have any feelings of resentment towards her. And when you say 'I was trying to use you'........it's not the same now, is it?
Yes.
Mr. Fate, please tell me the truth. What the hell are you suffering from?　Why is it that you don't have the right to like me--!

　When I told her that much, Fate-san's face was pressed against my chest and her clothes were grabbed tightly at the same time. Her small shoulders were trembling slightly.............She even looked scared of something.

''I'm ... the ... gods ... supreme god. So, so........

　After telling me this in a tearful voice, Fate-san opened her mouth as she looked up and looked at me with clinging eyes.

''I am!　Even if you fall in love with Kai... 'I can't put her first!　If you put Kai and Lord Shalovanal on the scale, I'll take Lord Shalovanal.......................I have to take it!

　I see, I finally came to an understanding. So that was what had been tormenting Fate-san all along........ To Fate-san, Shiro-san is an absolute existence, the very reason for her existence as she once told me.
　Even if she loves me and her feelings are reciprocated......................she's struggling with that. Oh, really, how clumsy he is........how 'lovely' he is.......


Of course it's there.
What?

　Fate-san is truly a courageous person. She properly expressed her guilt and the pain of being a god, and her feelings for me despite the fact that she is a god.
　Then what should I do?　It's obvious. You can take that and more, Fate-san.

　While hugging the small body that fits perfectly in my arms, I spin out the words while looking straight into Fate-san's eyes, which are wet with tears.

''........it's okay, Fate-san. So, it's okay.
Kai-chan?
You can put Mr. White first, you know. No, please do so. If me and Shiro-san were to come into conflict with each other, please do not hesitate to take Shiro-san's side. And if you like me on top of that I'd be very happy about that.
...Is it...okay...?　I'm........
Because, you see, 'White-san is my first priority and everything' I like Fayette.
Ugh..........

　Yes, at the end of the day, I don't have any problems with it. After all, the Fate I met was the one who put White first, and I fell in love with her, so I don't have to worry about anything.
　I'll just pull everything together and accept Fate-san as a whole. I'm sure that's the way it is for you to be.

Are you really........sure?　I was in love with Kai-chan... and I didn't want to give up on her... ...Are you sure?
Yes, sir.
Huh?

　So I strongly affirm it. I affirm the current Mr. Fate himself, stronger and more strongly than anyone else.

　After hearing my words, Fate-san's eyes widen, and tears filled with a different kind of emotion than before, and she buries her face in my chest as if clinging to me.

''I'm sorry, Kai. Just.... wait... wait a minute... in a little while I'll be back to my old self... let me spoil you for a little while...
As much as you'd like, Miss Fayette.
"...I'm a jerk, you know?　You're so selfish ... and a pain in the ass ... and you're going to get Kai in a lot of trouble, aren't you?
It's too late now. I'm selfish and troublesome... and yet, I fell in love with you, who is somehow kind and bottomlessly cheerful, who makes me smile when I'm with you...

　Yes, I already had the answer on my end. When I found out that Miss Fate might be in love with me, I was happy about it.
　Even the start of the date, which was spinning out of control, was fun for some reason. At that point, I knew the answer to that question.

I love you too.........thank you.......I love you, Kai-chan.

　Because, you see, at this moment in time, in my heart I'm filled with so much happiness.

　Dear Mother and Father - the divine tribe, the highest gods who serve Shiro-san, so that's why I'm in anguish. It's very much like Fate-san, and I was able to reaffirm that, after all, she has a pure hearted side to her, somehow. To be able to accept the thoughts and feelings of Mr. Fate--I felt more proud than anything else.
