Chapter 114

Episode 113: Blissful Trip

It’s bad! It feels too good…!

Did you see that, Mrs.? It was a double Mysterious Beautiful Girl!

“Without permission, I’ve been getting close to the neighbors.”

We’re deeply codependent and while loving each other in a twisted way, we’re falling into hell—it’s the best couple!

It’s the type of couple where only Merry Bad End or just Bad End is prepared!

“Ho ho ho ho, it turned out wonderfully, don’t you think? Did you see it? Hey, did you see it? The part where I kiss the hair?”

I thought you were a genius.

I was about to say, “Hey, are you a genius?”

“Hmm, I’m glad it’s well-received. But there are things to reflect on as well.”

Huh, shall I hear them?

“A little bit, isn’t my character too extreme? With that, we can’t naturally be affectionate, right? I feel like I might drink your blood or bite your neck.”

?

What’s the problem with that?

“How far ahead are you?”

I don’t understand why Star Reader’s Staff is troubled.

Solciera is indeed overwhelmingly dominant, but there’s no issue with her getting hurt when interacting with Zero.

Rather, it’s good!

Listen, Star Reader’s Staff.

Just because one is physically dominant doesn’t mean they’re superior.

Demon’s Gear Zero, who can only express love through destructive impulses, and Solciera who accepts that twisted love without resistance—her capacity can be seen from this.

Though Zero should be the aggressor, Solciera seems to be enjoying it, while Zero looks somewhat distressed.

“But if I bite your neck, I’ll probably reach the cervical vertebrae?”

Hold back.

Why are you trying to finish me off? Are you from the Savannah?

“No, the body is just too sublime, making it hard to control my strength. Or rather, physical abilities at their human limits. I ended up slashing Nameless completely.”

I was scared thinking you were seriously going for the kill.

But the action of stepping on the wound afterward was clever and good.

Solciera wouldn’t do something like that, but it matches Zero’s interpretation.

“I felt like I was awakening to something new… Zero x Nemu… Is that even possible…?”

Is this staff too obsessed with couples?

Even I sometimes get left behind when it comes to pairings.

“But no matter how many couples are born, Solciera being universally desirable remains unchanged.”

Alright, let’s go to war.

Now that I have a body, let’s brawl, idiot.

“—Solciera, thank you very much. I couldn’t have protected Older Sister alone.”

Miuye, completely high, bowed her head and said that to me.

That’s right… our side was still solemnly serious.

“Switching perspectives is important. …Ciel, are you alright? You were the one most exposed to our magic.”

“I’m fine. …However, Miss Na Takikai loved so deeply. I support her from the shadows.”

“Ho ho ho, thank you very much. I’ll give you a ten-thousand-yen gift card later.”

“Indeed, Miss…”

That ten thousand will come out of my wallet, stop spending recklessly.

While pondering the dwindling balance in my account, I gently smiled at Miuye.

It’s precisely because she occasionally shows kindness that Mysterious Beautiful Girls are beautiful.

“That’s enough nonsense. Don’t hesitate anymore.”

“…Yes!”

Miuye nodded strongly.

Then she headed towards Kanon.

The alligator and dolphin who had protected us from battle were battered, but Kanon didn’t have a single scratch.

Kanon… never thought she’d pass away…

You truly shone, especially your final brilliance was really beautiful…

…Hey, Star Reader’s Staff.

“It’s impossible.”

Right?

I want to resurrect you, but unlike Hikari, your light has completely faded…

There’s nothing I can do, not even with all my power.

“We merely transform what already exists into another form. We cannot create something from nothing.”

I bent down and gently stroked Kanon’s hair.

She was breathing softly, as if sleeping.

Facing her who will never wake again, I strangely feel refreshed.

The reason is the girl standing beside me.

“…I will definitely talk to Older Sister again.”

The word ‘give up’ does not exist for Miuye.

No matter how unreasonable or impossible the situation, her eyes shine brightly.

Her figure is undoubtedly that of a protagonist.

This is Spin-Off Protagonist-sama…!

Let’s worship Star Reader’s Staff.

“Blessed be…!”

With Miuye now possessing an indomitable spirit, there’s no need for me to extend a helping hand further.

Miuye, you will live on as a Spin-Off Protagonist—a genius artificially created energetic girl.

“The content push is intense.”

I particularly look forward to your interactions with Toa. ^^

Such pure interactions are good too, different from our deep entanglement.

“…It’s about time for me to leave. There’s nothing more for me here.”

“Yes. Thank you so much!”

“Oh, what misunderstanding are you having?”

I flash a sly smile.

“The stars merely shine where they are. I had no intention of helping you. …All this was due to your own strength.”

“…! Yes!”

I turn on my heel to make my coat flutter dramatically.

And activate the transfer magic circle—.

“—Ugh…”

I stopped upon hearing a groan near the room entrance.

Looking toward the sound, I saw a pile of rubble formed by the collapsed ceiling after our Double Mysterious Beautiful Girl Cannon.

Out of curiosity, I peeked and found a battered Toa.

Eeeeeeeh!

How eeeeeeee!

“…What are you doing here?”

“Eek, S, Solciera!”

Toa was flustered upon seeing me. So cute.

Her body was battered, lying supine atop the rubble.

“Eh, Toa-chan!? What happened!?”

“Well, I was searching for Miuye-chan because I was worried, and when I finally reached her, silver light suddenly flashed…”

“Ah…”

Sorry, that was me…

It seems Toa courageously came, but unfortunately got caught in the artillery attack.

In other words, I unknowingly destroyed a precious teeteete moment between Toa and Miuye.

Where’s the guillotine!

“But this way, we have the picture-perfect scene of battered beauties laughing together. Isn’t it perfect for the ending still?”

“Get rid of the guillotine! No execution!”

“Toa-chan… Sorry for leaving you behind.”

Miuye bowed her head apologetically.

Then, with a slight blush, she shyly opened her mouth.

“So… um, would you become friends again?”

Toa’s eyes widened in surprise,

then she happily nodded multiple times.

“Yeah… yeah! Of course! Miuye-chan, let’s continue to get along!”

“Hehe… yes! Ah, I’ll lend you my shoulder!”

“Thank you… uh, it’s unclear who actually came to rescue whom…”

“I’ve already been helped plenty!”

With Toa leaning on her shoulder, she stood up, and Miuye looked at her face-to-face.

They both smiled at each other.

Look, Star Reader’s Staff.

That’s genuine lily.

It will soak into your five organs and six腑(fu).

“Radiance that can’t be replicated by cultivation…! Incredible…!”

“Both of you embracing should be advised to retreat quickly. Pursuers targeting Kanon’s body may arrive.”

Nana, who didn’t hear our conversation, said this emotionlessly before the scene before her eyes.

That’s true though…!

“Later, I’ll let you play a hardcore lily ADV game, nee ^^”

“You mentioned adverse effects of consciousness connection with me earlier. Is a game okay?”

“In small amounts, it’s rather beneficial to the body. You’re pure essence, so it’s not good for you.”

“Sister, let’s go home. Please suggest the same to Na Takikai.”

“Ah, understood. Let’s return soon. In fact, we’re supposed to be unconscious in the Student Council room.”

True, it’s inconvenient for me to stay here any longer.

Besides, lingering after creating a departure atmosphere would make people wonder “Who’s this guy?”

Mysterious Beautiful Girls don’t mess up their exits!

I activate the transfer magic circle again and turn my back.

Stopping my foot as I take a step inside,

Let’s end with some mystery beauty, nee ^^

“—By the way, let me give you a warning.”

I know Miuye and Toa are paying attention to my words without turning around.

Without looking back, I begin the original work spoiler disguised as a warning.

“Be careful of angels. Soon, calamity will begin.”

“Angels…”

“What does that mean…? What exactly is this calamity…!”

I smile faintly and disappear into the transfer magic circle.

Sorry for the vague warning.

But don’t worry, everything will be resolved by Tourak.

It feels like the timing of the war with Kisou Academy and the first appearance of angels in the original work overlap, but it’s fine, it’s fine!

See ya, both of you!

See you at the Student Council room!

■

“—She’s gone.”

“Yes.”

Watching the place where Solciera disappeared, Miuye nodded.

“Angels, and calamity… Does that mean something will happen to this Academy City?”

She involuntarily shivered.

Despite obtaining the Eye of Truth, she’s still just a girl.

It’s natural to feel fear towards the unknown.

(How much can I fight with this Eye…)

At that moment, her right hand was grabbed.

Looking over, Toa was holding her hand and smiling.

“This time, we’ll be together, right?”

“That’s right. I’m not alone anymore!”

Miuye lifted her head.

She won’t be wavering anymore.

“Loron, Ruruika, please carry Older Sister. Let’s go home!”

Saying this with an incredibly bright voice, Miuye walked forward while still holding Toa’s hand.

The night was about to end.

Clicking hearts easily conveys appreciation. (Login required.)

“―She’s gone.”

“Yes.”

While watching the spot where Solciera disappeared, Miuye nodded.

“Angels, and calamity… Does that mean something is going to happen in this Academy City?”

She shuddered involuntarily.

Even though she obtained the Magic Eye of Truth, she is still just a girl.

Feeling fear towards the unknown is only natural.

(How much can I fight with this Magic Eye…)

At that moment, her right hand was grabbed.

Looking over, Toa was holding her hand and smiling.

“This time, we’ll be together, right?”

“That’s right. I’m not alone anymore!”

Miuye lifted her head.

She won’t be wavering anymore.

“Loron, Ruruika, please carry Older Sister. Let’s go home!”

Saying this with an incredibly bright voice, Miuye walked forward while still holding Toa’s hand.

The night was about to end.
