Volume 5 Chapter 50 Shocking Reunion
No, it's not that simple. It freezes me to the bone. Just by hearing a single word, my trained body can't move.
"Haah——"
I gasp for air.
The voice I heard was a voice I knew well. Not just familiar, but a voice that had penetrated my soul.
No, this can't be true.
Certainly, since this God-Demon War began, this possibility had been in the back of my mind. At the point when Mevia appeared, the expectation had already taken on a clear reality.
Still.
I didn't know what face to make when we met, so I hadn't said it until that moment.
I had put it off because I couldn't find the answer.
And that moment had arrived. Now, here.
In front of a perplexed Tsukiko, I turned around.
There was a girl waiting for me in silence. She took off her sunglasses and scarf that she had been wearing.
Platinum blond hair, like the light of the moon, ruby eyes that made you forget the time just by looking at them.
Her porcelain skin and perfect features had an unreal beauty that was like a sculpture.
I could never forget that face.
Memories exploded in my head with nostalgia.
One of the companions I had met and traveled with in the hell.
Sharla was waiting for my words.
"..."
My mouth was dry, and I couldn't speak. Of course, we had parted ways for life, never to meet again.
But that person was standing in front of me now.
What should I say?
"Long time no see?"
The words that came out after hesitation were foolish even for me. My head was spinning with surprise.
"..."
Sharla tilted her head slightly without saying anything, and in the next moment, she disappeared from the spot.
No, she didn't disappear.
A shock hit me from below.
A cold cheek was pressed against mine, and a thin arm was wrapped around my neck. When I realized that she had flown straight into my arms, I also instinctively held onto her waist.
"I finally met you."
Her voice was still the same calm tone as before. But through our skin, I could feel the hidden emotions within her calmness.
I see, we met again?
The fact spread slowly through my head. Actually, I hadn't known Sharla for that long, but the density of our time spent together was considerable.
Sharla had been holding me tightly for a while, but she finally let go and looked at me straight on.
It's close.
It's so close, but the nostalgia wins over the embarrassment now. Her red eyes, similar to Lisha's, pierced straight through me. As if to say that she wouldn't let me go again.
"Yuusuke."
"Sharla, it's been a long time. When did you come over here——!?"
I couldn't say it until the end.
Sharla's face in front of me was so close that I couldn't see it, and her words were physically interrupted by her lips.
Sharla's soft and gently warm lips were blocking my mouth.
...Huh?
A few seconds, or maybe dozens of seconds.
Time dragged on, and I forgot to close my eyelids. When my focus adjusted, Sharla's beautiful face was surprisingly close.
What, what is happening?
My head is glitching, and I can't grasp the situation. Our lips are touching, in other words, mouth-to-mouth.
Also known as a kiss.
"Whoaaa?!"
"Huh?!"
Behind Sharla, a loud yell came from behind me, and Tsukiko's surprised voice could be heard.
Wait, wait a minute. I am also surprised. In fact, I am the most surprised.
It's strange, just a moment ago I was having an important conversation with Tsukiko, so why has it turned out like this?
As I heard the crackling sound of discharge behind me, I suddenly remembered when I first met Sharla, and how I was completely taken aback.
