Volume 5 Chapter 49 Broken Sense
I see, so Tsukiko's poor communication skills are due to her upbringing, and on top of that, her family is one of the top magician families.
...Hmm.
"Wait, is that all?"
"That's all? You don't understand the meaning of being involved with us."
Hold on, calm down.
"But that's not Tsukiko's own story, right?"
"That's true, but..."
Tsukiko's mouth fell open.
Wait, is my sense off?
Certainly, there is no balance between me, an ordinary person, and Tsukiko, who was born into a prestigious magician family. However, if I say that, Eris is a member of the royal family.
She's a member of the royal family, not just a prestigious family, but at the top of the country. Asteris itself was a powerful country, and unlike Japan, it was a complete monarchy, so its power was the highest in the world.
When I think about it carefully, I'm dealing with amazing people.
"You... Why are you always like that?"
Tsukiko muttered absentmindedly.
The words are too abstract to understand, but it doesn't seem like a compliment.
"Sorry. I'll think more about what you said. Also, there's one thing I want to ask."
"What is it? I'm tired."
I'm really sorry about that.
But when I heard the story earlier, there was something that I couldn't help but wonder about. It's embarrassing to ask, but...
"When I listen to Tsukiko's story, it's about breaking up with the Anti-Demon Official and the family being involved, right?"
"That's right. So what?"
"In other words, Tsukiko's feelings didn't change, right?"
Immediately after I said it, Tsukiko glared at me with half-closed eyes, as if to say, "What are you saying?"
"...!"
She blushed and looked down again.
Wait, which is it?
My heart beats as if it's about to burst.
I don't know. Tsukiko's feelings at that time and her feelings now, six months later.
But then I realized.
Asking her about it now wouldn't be fair. I haven't even told Tsukiko about myself yet.
There's no point in continuing this conversation until I've told her everything.
"Tsukiko, sorry. Before that, I want you to hear my story. There's something I have to tell you."
"Do you have something to talk about?"
Yes. About me going to a different world and fighting as a Hero. The God-Demon War that is happening now. I have to talk about all of it properly. And also, what I'm thinking and considering right now. I want you to listen.
So——
"I found you."
My body froze, as if an icicle had been thrust into my back.
