I've come to Fate-san's temple to greet her. Although I suffered a great
deal of damage to the pit of my stomach, I then exchanged greetings
with Fate-san… and am now currently in a strange position.
[Haaahhhh… my long-awaited Kaichanium~~ I'm finally healed~~]
[...…]
I don't know what the heck that Kaichanium is and why is it in my body,
but Fate-san seems to be in a good mood after taking in whatever that
is. Using my lap as some sort of cushion, Fate-san tightly hugged my
arms… Simply speaking, it's as if I'm hugging Fate-san from behind…
[Geez, I was so sad and lonely while Kai-chan was away that "I can't find
the enthusiasm to work"!]
[…That's surprisingly normal, isn't it…]
[…Indeed.]
Well, it's something I had expected, but it seems that Fate-san hasn't
worked for almost two years now. Since she became my girlfriend, she
sometimes… It really was just sometimes, but she sometimes works
seriously, alleviating the troubles Chronois-san feels.
Anyway, let's put that aside for the time being and just enjoy my time
together with Fate-san.
Fate-san's expression of affection is actually very straightforward and
simple. Just like this posture we're in right now, all she wants is to be
pampered.
I guess one could say that she is honest with her feelings, as the way she
fawned upon me with all her might was very cute, which somehow
makes me smile.
[…Unnn? What's the matter, Kai-chan? Ahh, you must be moved by the
sight of your beloved lover, whom you haven't seen in a long time, that
you're speechless, aren't you?]
[Ahaha, well, I guess that might be the case.]
[Fufu, then we could just flirt some more! Kai-chan can replenish as
much Fatechanium as you want!]
[…By the way, Fate-san, your ears are all red, you know?]
[…You don't really need to notice something unnecessary, you know…]
Well, even though she is trying to have even more skinship with me, she
still has a side in her that feels embarrassed. First of everything, I'm
pretty sure that the reason she hasn't looked at me since a while ago is
because her face is bright red.
I think that part of hers is really cute too.
[…Hey, Kai-chan.]
[Yes?]
[…I love you.]
[…I love you too.]
The time I spent with Fate-san was filled with so much warm happiness
that I couldn't help but stay longer than I should have.
After I finished greeting my lover, I really went from one realm to
another, greeting everyone I knew. Seeing them being sincerely happy
to see me return makes me really happy.
Since most of my acquaintances were Demons, I didn't feel like they
have changed that much after two years. But of course, that doesn't
mean that nothing has changed.
For example, in the past two years, Orchid seems to have welcomed his
fourth wife, and Amalie-san has been officially announced as the crown
princess… the next king, so she's quite busy with her work.
Mitsunaga-kun had also become a noble and seemed to be managing
his territory well despite various struggles, so it seemed like he had his
fair share of fulfilling life in some way.
His relationship with Princess Cattleya is also good, but it doesn't seem
like they have brought up the topic of marriage with each other yet.
From what I heard from Alice afterwards, it seems like they had been
waiting for me to come back first.
The only other person who had changed was Hydra Kingdom's King,
Laguna-san. No, I heard that she's still skipping meetings and work…
but the purpose of her skipping was apparently not because she wants
to fish or anything like that, but because she wanted more time to train.
Incidentally, the reason for this was apparently Lilia-san. Lilia-san
seems to have gotten really strong in the past two years, even winning
her first victory over Laguna-san a year ago, who Lilia-san used to say
she was no match with.
However, Laguna-san is apparently a warrior before she is a king, and
thus, she won't just accept her defeat. She began retempering her body
that had grown dull and won her revenge match a month later.
After that, Lilia-san and Laguna-san have been having mock battles
once a month, where the odds of victory between them was about 50-
50… Laguna-san, who was called the strongest in the Human Realm and
had no rivals among the Humans for a long time now, is very much alive
now that Lilia-san has become stronger, and is vigorously training
herself every day.
Even so, she was only quite energetic when it comes to her training, and
when it comes to her work as the King… after she had found a reason to
slack off more than ever…
Anyway, some of them have changed and some of them are still the
same. After greeting each of my acquaintances, just after the sun had
set, I arrived at my final destination, the Sanctuary.
Since Shiro-san took the trouble of asking me to visit her last, I guess
she had some business with me… but I wonder what it is?
[…You've finally arrived.]
[Yes. Sorry, I'm late, Shiro-san.]
[No, once again, welcome back, Kaito-san. I'm really happy that you've
come back to this world.]
The corners of Shiro-san's lips were slightly lifted as she said this, and
her face seemed to have a little more emotion than before.
As I'm feeling glad to have met Shiro-san again…
[Well then, it's time for our "revenge match".]
[…Yes?]
…Arehh? Wait a minute, what the heck is this God talking about now?
Revenge match? Errr… I kinda don't know what you're talking about,
you know…
