CHAPTER 220 – STRONG AND LOVELY GIRL
After chasing away Eleanor, I took out my Magic Cottage and entered carrying Io .
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???
Olivia raised the corner of her lips interestingly and continued .
???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??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???
?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???
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??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 .
