Heh-heh-heh-heh.

What does this mean?

No, I mean...

Heh-heh-heh-heh.

　Oh no. Alexia's eyes are getting more and more set on her. And next to her sits Kana, who hasn't shed a tear already, but doesn't stop hugging her. Seeing that Kana, Alexia's eyes become sharper and sharper.

'Hey, was it Kana?　Get away from my Ray!

'No!　It's been a while since I met Cousin Hayato. I don't want to leave him anymore!

　Alexia and Kana glare at each other as they say that. It was a mistake to bring them back to the room. But if I hadn't, I'm sure soldiers would have come, and I couldn't just leave them like that.

The last time I saw Cousin Hayato was when we parted ways at school. And the next time I saw him, I was already a....

　Kana cries again, as if she remembers the time I died. Alexia looks at this, too.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. You didn't think I was lying?

'Cousin Hayato and Mari are the only people in this world who know his name. There may be people listening to our stories, but I don't think they can reach Cousin Hayato in the next country. Besides,

And?

I have the same vibe as Cousin Hayato!

　Kana cawed and hugged me again and buried her face in my chest. Isn't the skinship somehow more intense than it was in your previous life?　I... I... I... I got hit in the chest.

'Mmm!　Get away from me!　Ray, grow your nose out, too!

　With that, Alexia hugs me from behind. She crushes me from the front and from behind, this is bad!

Huh, you two!　Leave!　You can't talk to me!

　I tell them that, but they won't listen, and instead they hug me tighter. Shit!　Soft things all over the place!　And on top of that.

'It looks interesting!　I'm in the mix!

　For some reason Hikarin came over and hugged me on top of Kana.

'Kyah!　What?　Who!

That's it.

　And then he hugs my face tightly. Ku....it's painful. My face is buried in my chest........ I'm dazed.................

　◇ ◇ ◇.

"...Mr.!　Hayato........hmm!

........yi!　Ray!

　Ugh, someone is shouting in my ear. It's so loud. But I feel a soft touch on the back of my head. This feeling feels good. I opened my eyes to see what it was, and there it was.

Ooo!　Cousin Hayato!　You're awake!

　And then he cupped my face. What a déjà vu!

Oh, come on!　Cana!　Ray will faint again!

'Wow!　I'm sorry, Cousin Hayato!　I was worried about you!

　That's where Kana finally spoke her head. 'I'm happy for you, but I don't want to taste it too much.

'It's okay, Kana. Alexia will be fine, too. Don't let Hikarin look so sad, too. Okay?

I love you.

　Then he introduces Kanna to Hikarin, who he meets for the first time. I introduced Alexia to Kana again as well.

　Natsuna hugs Hikarin and says she's cute and Hikarin hugs her back, saying that she and I have similar magical powers. Ooh, their big breasts are crushed together. It's eye candy.

'Kohon!　Well, I'm Ray's cousin in a previous life, so I'll put up with that too. So what are we going to do now?

Yeah. My goal is to get Kana and the others back to their world.

...What?

　Kana looks at me with a surprised expression when I tell her what I want. What's wrong with her?

'They said they were going to send me home, no, they said we couldn't go back before that, could we?

Yeah, I don't think I can send you home at the moment. But I think I can in the future.

That's impossible.

'I think level 10 of spatial magic would work.

　You can create your own level 9 and 10 of each magic. If it's that much magic, maybe it can cross space. Well, there's no proof, so I can't say for sure.

''So, thinking of Kana and the others as being able to return... Kana?

　I was about to tell her to think about it, don't worry, but when I looked at Kana, she turned over and gave me a sad look. Why do you look like that when you might be sent home?

Will Cousin Hayato come along for the ride?

No, I can't go.

Ooooh!　Why?!

You know that, Kana. I'm a dead man over there. There's no place for a guy like that to come home to. Besides, I have a family I can't leave behind here.

"...Ray.

　I say while looking at Alexia, and Alexia smiles at me too.

''Well then, I'll stay over here too. If you're going to send me home, please leave Mari and the others alone.

What are you talking about, Kana? I'm sure your father and mother are worried about you over there. I have to go home...

I am!

　Before I could continue speaking, Kana started to stand up. I was startled into silence, but Alexia remained calm.

''I don't want to return to the world without Cousin Hayato.

Kana?

''I don't think Cousin Hayato realized it, but I've always been in love with Cousin Hayato!　I've always loved Cousin Hayato, who has always smiled kindly at me at all times!　But we're brother and sister, so I couldn't even tell you how I felt, and I spent every day of my life, and then something like that happened to me. And I've been regretting it ever since.

....

In recent years, I've been unable to forget Cousin Hayato, and I've rejected many people's confessions. And now I was able to meet Cousin Hayato again. I don't want to go through that again!　I don't want to be separated from Cousin Hayato anymore!　So.....

　Kana, who has been lying face down until now, looks up and looks firmly at me. Her eyes hold more determination in them than I've ever seen before.

'I have no intention of leaving!

　Kana said just that and left the room and said.

''Well what are we going to do, Rei?''

I don't know what to do.

　I couldn't say any more.
