What's this? There's rice in the chicken.

Leia was shocked by the dish I served for dinner.

This dish, in which rice and a small amount of vegetables are stuffed into a chicken belly and roasted, was one of my signature dishes.

I was fired up to make it as a commemoration of Sasha's arrival, and it looks like I did well.

''Hmph, this brings back memories. When I was an adventurer, you always made it for me when I completed a big quest.

Sasha is happy to eat it too.

...... You didn't make it when I arrived.

Leia, who had a cheerful expression a moment ago, is now depressed and depressed.

"No, that's not it, Leia. It was before the harvest and there was no rice.

Oh, that's right. Isn't that right? Takumi-san was very welcoming to me as well.

No, I was rather annoyed by it, though.

However, if I said such a thing, I might say something about cutting my stomach off again, so I keep quiet.

Sasha watches such an exchange between me and Leia with a smile on her face.

When I was an adventurer, I was with the princess without knowing her, but once I got to know her, I felt somewhat nervous.

Even though it's pretend, is it okay to live as a newlywed in such a dirty cave?

When I finished cleaning up dinner, Leia was frantically drawing lines on the floor of the cave with the sheath of her sword.

Since last night, when we went to bed, we had been divided into three areas from the entrance of the cave, Leia, me, and Sasha, in that order.

'Huh? Is this where I am? I feel like I'm further away from Takumi than I was yesterday.

A disconcerting air is flowing between the two of them as they take their eyes off each other for a moment.

'Last night, you were just barely close enough to see Takumi-san's face as she slept. That distance is unacceptable.

'I don't know what you mean. You were the one who was watching me at close range. In fact, Takumi was looking at me asleep, but he was looking at me.

Hmph, Takumi has a habit of showing the back of his head to people he likes.

Oh yeah, I have a propensity to sleep with the back of my head to the person I love ...... no way!

But will you two stop peeking into my sleeping face or something?

If I knew that, I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully from now on, would I? At least give me some peace of mind when I go to bed.

'Then you won't go in from here either. This is on the same terms.

Sasha is groping and drawing a line with his foot.

The princess shouldn't be doing such a trivial thing.

Sasha's tone has changed after being challenged by Leia. Where has the harmonious atmosphere of the time I was teaching her to do laundry gone?

'Silly me. You're two centimeters closer to me than I am to you.

'Don't be silly. You're still closer than that. If you have a problem with that, you want me to switch?

I can't. I have a duty to protect Takumi from intruders!

For now, it doesn't look like it's going to fit, so I redraw the line.

'Ah! You're even further away!

That's terrible, Takumi!

That's for fighting. I'm going to bed in this one.

I ignore the boos from the two of them and lay down the covers.

If I don't move away from them a little bit, I won't feel comfortable here.

I promised myself that tonight I would look up and sleep without turning to my right or left.

Late at night, I couldn't sleep because my eyes were too bright and I was staring at the ceiling of the cave.

He must have stayed up late yesterday.

Leia and Sasha were both sleeping quietly.

I quietly walked out of the cave so as not to wake them up.

The snow had stopped, but unlike the daytime, it was quite cold outside.

I hurriedly put on the thick furs I had brought with me.

Panting out a pure white breath, I walk to the large rock in front of the cave.

Sitting there, I look up at the night sky and see stars all over the place, as if they are about to fall at any moment.

I used to do this here on sleepless nights when I was alone.

Until Takumi Point was built, Leia wasn't the only one here, Chihar and Demon Sword Karuna were also there, and Chloe was a frequent visitor.

In addition, a month before the Great War Party, it was a large household with Miakis, Zach, Rick and the Goblin King staying until the brave end.

It feels like it was a long time ago when I saw the night sky here before.

Who in the world is up to what?

Takumi Point, the mastermind, the missing Rick.

Sasha said that someone is using me and Alice to plot something, but is that really true?

I've done a lot of research since Takumi Point was created, and the system is very complex and extensive.

Sasha said it's finely controlled by magic, but maybe it's not just magic.

It's well hidden by magic, but there are devices planted everywhere to monitor it.

It is probably from the southern South City where science has developed.

In addition, I can sense a hint of similarity to the Four Divine Pillars used in the Daibukai and Leia's god-slaying from the equipment.

Is Eastern East Park, the hometown of Leia and Yol, also cooperating?

I guess the Takumi Point system is made up of magic and science with a god in it.

It's hard to believe that it was created by one person.

It should be considered that many people, or rather many countries, worked together to create it.

And this Takumi Point, after touching it for a month, I felt something.

After the tournament was over, curious people rushed to my place of fame, but they could not approach the cave as if they were blocked by an invisible wall.

If it weren't for Takumi Point, many people would come here every day to sneak around.

If that had happened, I would have had to run away and find a new place to live.

I was clearly feeling protected by Takumi Point.

And it was even a somewhat nostalgic feeling.

It didn't seem like I had created the Takumi Point with malicious intent.

That was when he was thinking about it.

'Good evening, Takumi-kun,'

The man suddenly appeared in front of me.

A man in a white coat and glasses.

He was short, skinny and slender, but his head was large and unbalanced.

It gives an eerie impression, as if an adult's head was attached to a child's body.

How long has he been here? No. How did we get here?

You can only come here using Takumi Point until 8pm. Normally you wouldn't even be able to get close to it.

"Hakase, wait a minute, I'm so sick of this!

In addition, a girl appeared with a mess and an impossibly large amount of combat equipment.

She carried a machine gun in her right hand, a beam saber in her left, and a large rocket launcher on her back.

On her chest was a crossbelt with countless bullets in it, plus two small guns and a large shield attached to her waist.

She's wearing goggles and her face is half-hidden, but she's a petite, pretty-looking girl.

It doesn't look like she can move with so much equipment.

'With your power, you could move much faster. Don't slack off and run, Ex.

I can't do it. Impossible. We've come all this way to climb the mountain. I'm exhausted. Zero power.

For saying that, there's no fatigue in his voice, and it even feels spare.

No matter how you look at it, you're not a normal person.

''It can't be helped. Then let's introduce ourselves a bit before the battle.

The man called Hakase bows his big head towards me.

Didn't he just call it a battle?

Don't tell me they're here to fight.

Nice to meet you, Takumi. My name is Deus. My name is Dr. Deus.

They are completely different from the strong enemies I've encountered in the past.

They look so weak that even I could just barely win in battle.

But I felt more fearsome than any of the others I've encountered.

The eyes. The eyes that looked at me as if they were observing me closely, but they weren't eyes that were looking at a human being.

It was like looking at a laboratory animal, eyes that were completely devoid of emotion, and a chill ran down my spine.

'I wanted to know a little bit about your powers, so I came through the back password. It didn't compute that the Machina guy didn't bring most of your information with him.

To find out what I can do?

A backdoor password?

I'm sure she had little to no contact with Makina, but was she checking me out?

That's why we came to check on you personally.

Before I knew it, there was a girl called Ex standing afterwards.

'Then let's begin,'

Ex held his gun up to me and Dr. Deus gave a sickening smile.
