What is this? It's a triangular piece of rice, seasoned and baked. It was crispy and fragrant and delicious!
Hey, Doc. Bring it here too. I can't move.
After all, Machina hadn't come for me at dawn.
No, she seemed to be getting close, but she didn't want to get close, within a radius of a kilometer to be exact.
I had no choice, so I had to put Dr. Deus and Ex up for the night.
Then we all eat breakfast together at the round table in front of the cave.
Today's menu was grilled rice balls and chicken soup.
''And if you put them in a bowl and pour this broth over them, they will taste different.
'Oh! Excellent! What an idea! I've never cooked anything like this before!
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
I feel sorry for you, so I'll take it to Ex.
Thank you. I want you to do it because I can't even move my arm. Ahhhh.
That's not a good idea, Tach, that's not a good idea!
Karuna takes the grilled rice ball I'm holding and shoves it into Ex's mouth.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get that much in one go. Mugugugugugugugugu, but it's good.
For some reason or another, Karuna and Ex are good friends.
It was also Karuna who brought Ex, who was unable to move, to the round table.
It's a good idea to let Tak-kun eat you out.
No, why would that be?
He can't use his hands because I feed him to Ex. So, uh-oh, wham!
A grilled onigiri is thrown into Karuna's mouth at high speed.
Do you still want to eat? Evil Lizard.
Leia is threatening with a grilled rice ball in one hand.
I'm sure you'll be able to do it for me, muggy muggy muggy, Leia, of course I'll have another one!
Hey, stop playing with food, Leia.
I'm sorry, Takumi. But it was too extravagant to ask for Takumi's ahhhh.
Everybody sit down and eat properly. Sit down and eat properly, or you will not get another helping.
With those words, everyone finally calmed down and sat down at the round table.
''Hmph.''
In the midst of all of this, Sasha was the only one who was calmly watching everyone.
''It's a lively meal. ''Princess Sasha.''
Dr. Deus speaks to Sasha.
'Yes, it will be fun. 'Yes, it's a far cry from the formalities of a royal meal.
I never thought of eating as just a way to get energy for exercise. I never thought of it as something to enjoy.
'My life here is irreplaceable. So, you see, if anyone tries to ruin this place, I will do my best to crush them.
I see. I understand. Let's make a pact with Takumi that he'll never do anything he doesn't have to do again.
After this, the four of us will leave the place, leaving Ex and the doctor behind, while Makina is scheduled to come for us.
'Goodbye, Dr. Deus. Please stop checking me out already.
I'm sorry, but it's over. You're beyond my abilities anyway.
No, I already gave it everything I had in that fight.
'Well, you can always come over for a meal, at least.
Oh, really? You don't have to! Thanks, Takumi!
Well, he's the only guy who can go toe-to-toe with the real me. I'll take good care of him.
Doctor, please take me with you next time. I'll get you back in one piece.
Ha, how many times do you have to come back?
The same friendship had developed in Aksu and Karuna, and they were laughing and promising to fight again.
With a bit of regret, the four of us headed out to the fields.
Miakis has been taking care of the field every day lately, so I don't have much to do, but I'll take some leftover grilled onigiri to thank him for his help.
''Tack, hey, tack,''
On the way to the field, Karuna pulled on her sleeves.
For some reason, she was whispering and moping.
'Toilet? I'll wait for you in the bushes over there.
No, you idiot! I need to talk to you for a minute, Huh, alone.
Hmm, apparently it's something I don't want Sasha and Leia to hear.
I keep my distance from the two men ahead of me and hide behind a tree.
What's up? What are you talking about?
When I was a demon sword, I could talk privately in front of everyone, but it's become a little inconvenient.
You know what? We only have a few more days left to be in this form.
What?
Hadn't the seal been completely broken?
I can't help but look at the magic sword on my butt.
'Hey, this one, it's been forced out quite a bit. During the Great War Party, you and Koo-chan switched places. At that time, there was a small hole in the magic sword. It's really a hole so small you can't see it, though.
'I didn't notice it at all. You switched souls from there.
I think it's a hole that only something as massless as a soul can enter and exit. It's like he's forcibly deforming his body and twisting it out.
Just hearing that sounds like a lot of work.
Karuna can transform into dragon form, human form, and change mass, but it must be a lot of work to get out of such a small hole.
"If I relax even a little, I'll be back again. That's why, after the big fight, I've been trying to save up my strength in my sleep if I don't move.
So you didn't respond.
I know you missed them, Tuck.
Karuna looked a little sadder than she said that.
''One day, if I save up more power, will the seal be broken?''
...... That's what we thought at first, too. But that's not what we thought at first. It's not the power that created the hole when he and Koo were replaced. I think it was the desire to save her that created a small hole. I'm sure it will be ...... that will break the seal.
Could it be that thing that is a little embarrassing to say out loud?
I think it's the power of love!
Yes, I said it.
Instead of being smug, my face is red.
I also looked away.
I guess I'm still embarrassed.
Maybe, if it's a small hole in sisterly love, a big hole in the love between proper lovers would be a big hole.
Oh, I mean, what's that?
If I'm in love with a nice prince and he kisses me, I'm sure he'll be able to break the seal on me!
As Karuna said this, she closed her eyes and stuck her lips out like an octopus.
Is this a simulation of what happens when that happens?
'I hope someone like that comes along one day, Karuna.
Karuna, who had changed her expression from red to octopus and back again and again until a while ago, suddenly changed to a blank expression like a noh mask.
It's not a good idea. What's the matter, Karuna, hey, are you okay?
...... It's not okay! Takkun's, fool!
A blizzard of black smoke poured out of Karuna who shouted that.
''Karuna!''
It's going to be a long time coming. Hey, Tuck, tell Koo-chan I said hi.
Carna is sucked into the demonic sword on her ass as she is enveloped in the black smoke that comes from herself.
'Thanks for saving me, Karuna!
When he finally said this, Karna laughed with a sigh and said.
'Oh well. Well, I'll try to be patient. Be prepared, tuck.
Completely sucked in, Karuna turns her figure into a demonic sword.
'What am I prepared for?'
Even though I grabbed the magic sword and spoke to him, there was no more response from Karuna.
Did she go to sleep again to save up her strength for a while?
''You must have missed me, Tach-kun.
I remembered not answering Karna's question.
'Yeah, I kind of missed you,'
I muttered to myself, thinking that I wasn't being heard anymore.
Then I heard a voice in my head for the first time in a long time.
'If that's true, don't talk to me once in a while.
I couldn't help but smile at the sound of her slightly happy voice.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
