Chapter 24 - after battle

"Ahhh " My whole body is hurting as I try to sit.

I look around and I notice I am in my room.

What happened? I don't clearly remember I fought against origami she beat me up I suffered major injuries but continue fighting.

In the fighting, I gained some temporary insight that changed my way of fighting and in the end, I succeed to land a clear hit on her.

As I remember the feeling as I gained the insight I could feel the world more clearly than I can feel with my senses I could feel Maria's location, leaf flying with the wind and Origami attacks the most.

I could feel the intent of origami attacks so I could dodge her attacks much more effectively.

Wait.., did I wake up my Observation haki? But how?

Haki isn't something easy to obtain there is a need to train a long time to obtain it so why? I think while excitement and confusion rubbing inside me.

Maybe, it is because I was close to death and I pushed myself behind my limit my sixth sense opened.

When I think about it I also feel my brain opening releasing my animalic senses and body potential.

As a result, my senses and body reached their true capability for a short time period .

I look close to my eyes and I start to replicate these feelings relaxing and start focus on feeling the surrounding.

I can feel it even though it is I can feel Maria making dinner with origami in the kitchen but--

It isn't this the feeling I felt, back then it was truly mysterious and unknown and came to me instinctively.

In fact, I feel now isn't much better than usual.

Origami opens the door.

"Ahh, Max are you already awake?"

"Yeah."

"How do you feel?" she comes and seat beside me.

"Horrible all my body is inching". I answer with an ironic smile.

"Is that so? I am sorry for being too overboard."

"Don't worry I am the one who told you to not

hold back against me."

"where is Maria?"

"she went to the city to buy food from the city."

"why? we still have plenty of food."

"yeah, but Whitebread\Marine war is going to begin in less than 4 days people acting like the end of the world is coming so she ensures extra food for every case."

"good decision."

"People are going to close everything because of the fear of the war result so it is good to equip extra food."

"How is Maria?"

"she is worried about you every day she treated you changing blood socked Bandages also her usual cheerful manner disappeared ."

"she hadn't smiled even once and always serious sad face."

"really? "

"yes". she nods her head.

hhh what is this feeling I am happy she cared so much about me but also sad I hurt her so much? I really don't understand this feeling.

"Max, why did you have to go so far?"

heh, I react to the unexpected question.

"you had suffered damage from my attacks you were bleeding from over 20 different injuries so why did you do it in possibly the cost of your death and leaving me and Maria alone in this unfamiliar world?"

I take time to think about a proper answer I remember the feeling of those days.

"Origami did you read or watched some anime and manga?"

"How is that connected?"

"Just answer me."

"yes, I read shoujo mangas."

"Why did you do that?"

"because I like it."

"Why do you like reading shoujo manga?"

"I didn't put thought to it but I think I just like it."

"you see I am loving watching anime even if my friend and family think it is childish and laugh at me ."

"People watching animes are liking it because they lack something in themself it can be true love which drives you to cross world and do anything to save your loved one, true friendship standing together no matter what, lack of intrest in daily life causing you becoming empty shell how suffer living or The power to follow your emotions and not give up on yourself no matter how difficult the case or even simple things like being popular with girls or good at school or being healthy and strong. "

"You envoy these people inside the story treating them like it isn't just video but a story from another world and you say if I would be in a world like that I will be able to change my life for the better I just need a chance and I will do it."

"You keep dreaming and praying but nothing change you continue your life being unsatisfied."

"But when the impossible miracle happens how would you act? Would you continue living your pathetic way of living just to say I could do the change if something happens or you would finally live your dream? "

"I choose to live my dream and fulfill anything I desire like being surrender by pretty girls who really love me and do lewd things to them like Basara from Maria world or having good friends who will be with me and most of all I want to be strong enough to follow my dream without giving up."

even though I don't remember my private life I still remember why I liked watching isekai animes and what feelings it raised inside me.

"I train today to archive all the things I wished to have no matter how selfish it is , I want it, this is my reason."

origami look at me with a straight face

"Even if it cost your life ?"

"Yes."

"You are the one who summoned us to this world and you want to avoid the responsibility for that action ?"

"No, I am not avoiding it ."

"You are avoiding it by taking risk of death."

"I am not avoiding the responsibility of summoning you because I wanted this responsibility."

"What?" I can see she is surprised by my answer.

"Maybe you wouldn't believe me but this is part of what I wanted someone to protect ."

just like every anime when they have someone they care so much they fight for even risking their life and more I had always wanted to have someone like that.

"You two are important to me so I wouldn't let myself die and leave you alone."

"Do You reall--"

"I am home !" I hear Maria came back and say to Origami

"It seems Maria comes back we will continue this conversion in another time."

"okay," she answers her.
