CHAPTER 220 – STRONG AND LOVELY GIRL




Olivia and Tanya followed .


Olivia looked composed and Tanya looked at Io with a worried expression .


「Is your side alright now, Olivia?」


「I am different from Human, I’m fine now」


「Kakeru-san! Is Io-san alright?」


「If it is Human, then she is fine . Although that magic intensely consume her magic powers, that’s all」


「You know it? Olivia」


Olivia slightly nodded .


「She used her massive magic powers as a power that would move her body . For that, even more magic powers are used and her stamina is consumed . It is a technique that consumes magic powers at least three times the amount when the magic is shot normally . That is why, human is currentlyーー」


Olivia raised the corner of her lips interestingly and continued .


「ーーfeeling tired to death」


「That……was the case, thank goodness……」


I entered a room carrying Io and gently put her down to the bed .


「It consumes three times than releasing magic normally, and she did that twice, huh」


I stroked Io’s cheek as her face sweat .


「Really……how reckless」


「Ororo〜…… Human, I want to talk about something with you . Let’s go outside」


「Eh? What are we going to talk about, Olivia-samaーーhyaa!」


「Hikari, come as well」


「O-chan wait for me〜」


Olivia forcefully dragged away Tanya who was confused .


And Hikari who was called turned to her human form and chased after Olivia .


「What’s up with them?」


『Hm? I wonder〜』


I felt that Eleanor was grinning, but her tone quickly turned serious .


『Earlier, you couldn’t cut “me”』


「Yeah, I couldn’t cut “you” using Hikari」


『I do not plan on blaming you, but I do not plan on saying thanks as well』


「I see」


『I only want to say one thing……the next time, use me . There is no problem if its me』


「Are you alright with that?」


『Wielded by you, I shall cut my past self . Is it not interesting?』


「You really sound you’re looking forward to it that it’s a bit scary」


『Kukuku』


I heard Eleanor’s amused laughter inside my head .


This girl, she’s probably, really enjoying it 90% .


「U……n」


Io who I put on the bed groaned in pain .


I sat down beside her and looked at her face .


She seems to be extremely exhausted by the technique she used . She looks so worn out although the fight was very short .


I looked at her for quite a while and she slowly opened her eyes .


「Io」


I called out her name . She did not react .


Her eyes were empty, wandering the void .


「Io」


「……Kakeru-san?」


I called her once again and this time, she replied .


Her eyes regained clarity and caught my appearance .


「Iーー」


「You don’t need to wake up, just lie there」


「Uhm……the enemy?」


「She ran away . It’s all thanks to you」


「Thank goodness……I was of use」


『It’s not at a mere level of being “a use”』


「Eleanor’s unusually praising you」


「Thank you……」


While saying that, Io stared at me .


Her eyes seem to say something, they look like a lonely puppy’s eyes .


I did not say anything and kissed her .


「That attack was impressive . You caught Eleanor by surprise and it was beautiful . Let me see it again after you recover」


「Eh……? I can……use it?」


「Un? According to Olivia, it doesn’t seem to have any after-effects . Isn’t that the case?」


「U〜un, I didn’t mean that! Uhm……can I really?」


「Why?」


「I thought……you’ll tell me to stop」


Io became short on her words and looked away .


She looked like a child whose prank was found out .


「Why?」


「Why you say……?」


「You’ll recover after resting right? Since it uses a lot of stamina and magic powers」


「Un, that is true」


「If so, then what’s the problem? Rather, why do I need to stop you becoming a better woman?」


「Eh? B-Better woman?」


「Yeah . Didn’t I tell you? It was strong and beautiful . A magician, although it’s only for an instant, was able to surpass Eleanor’s physical ability . And to be able to do that, you areーー」


I gave her another kiss and said while staring at her at a distance where our lips almost touched .


「A good woman」


「I……can I fight together with Kakeru-san?」


「We did that up until now right?」


「Can I work harder, and become stronger so I can be of help?」


「You have done that up until now right?」


「I, won’t I be a baggage?」


「I’ve never thought of you like that」


「Although the result is better if Kakeru-san fights by himself?」


「This time, it was better since Io was around right?」


Io was surprised by my reply .


Her eyes widened and opened her mouth but could not utter the words .


After that, Io made many expressions for a while .


Surprise, confusion, teary smile .


Many expressions appeared and disappeared from her face .


I don’t know what she is thinking, I don’t know, but .


「I, I will work more and more harder」


「Alright, do your best」


「Is it okay? I might surpass Kakeru-san someday you know? Just like how I surpassed Eleanor today although it’s just for an instant」


「Yeah, do your best」


Or rather .


「Why do I need to stop you from becoming a better woman?」


I really feel strange why she asks that .


Io seems strange for asking that many many times to be sure .


About doing her best and levelling up, about fighting together with me .


About maybe surpassing me and Eleanor .


What’s the problem in that?


『If it was anything, it would be your denseness that is the problem』


Eleanor said something weird .


It’s true that I can’t understand Io’s point, but that, is that called dense?


It’s not, rightーーbut when I was thinking of that .


「Kakeru-san」


「Un?」


「I, I’ll do my best」


Io declared shortly but clearly .


And Io who stared at me like that with an innocent smile was so lovely, so lovely that all of my questions instantly disappeared .


Once again, I gave her a kiss .
