[WN] Three Skills : Volume 1 Chapter 69


Volume 1

Chapter 69

I Met Kakyoin-san Again


Translator : PolterGlast


Standing on top of the fallen skeleton monster, I delivered a full-powered punch.

 

The monster's face was crushed and scattered like mist even before my fist made contact. The moment my fist hit the ground, the earth cracked, and part of the surface rose up. The impact of hitting the ground spread to the surroundings as a strong wind.

 

───The monster's entire existence completely vanished.

 

"………"

 

Not... regenerating? Is it over? ...Did I win?

 

……………I won.

 

"───!!!!"

 

A shiver ran down my spine, and emotions welled up inside me.

 

This is the best!!!! In a battle where lives are on the line, I'm the only one who doesn't have to take that risk───since I haven't had a decisive battle for a while, this feeling is all the sweeter!

 

He was probably an overwhelmingly strong opponent. He killed me over and over and over again, and even after receiving my attacks, he regenerated over and over again. He was so strong...

 

Fufufu... Ah, this is the best. Whether it's a battle for my life or a victory over an overwhelmingly strong opponent, no matter how many times I experience it, this feeling never fades!

 

Ah... ...I wish I could have fought more. I wish I could have experienced that exhilaration more. But this is fine too...

 

"Hahaha"

 

I looked up and my lips curled into a smile.

 

"As always, Kushina"

 

While I was basking in the afterglow of pleasure, a voice suddenly called out to me from behind.

 

□□□

 

I turned around at the sudden voice. There was───

 

"………Kakyouin-san?"

 

A girl named Kakyouin-san, wearing a flashy but familiar Japanese school blazer uniform, was smiling at me.

 

"Good grief... You're always late. Can't you come a little earlier?"

 

"Ahahaha..."

 

Kakyouin-san scolded me as usual. I scratched my head and laughed awkwardly to avoid ruining her mood any further.

 

"Good grief... Well, it's fine. It turned out well in the end."

 

"───?"

 

...Turned out well?

 

"Hey, Kushina"

 

"Yeah?"

 

"You're amazing as always. Even that Hadira couldn't do anything against you. Moreover, you didn't change even when facing a god. As expected, you're truly amazing."

 

………? That's unlike Kakyouin-san. Usually, she would point out my flaws and then talk about what to do next... Why is she giving me so many compliments?

 

"Kushina"

 

Kakyouin-san looked straight at me.

 

"Come with me"

 

She extended her hand towards me.

 

□□□

 

"Come with you...?"

 

What is she saying now?

 

"Yes, that's right. I want you to be with me from now on."

 

Somehow... it feels strange to hear it again like this.

 

"Yeah, okay."

 

Well, I won't refuse.

 

When I answered, Kakyouin-san's expression immediately lit up.

 

"Yes! I knew you would say that! As expected of my Kushina! I knew you would!"

 

"U, um"

 

I can't help but smile wryly at being praised so much by Kakyouin-san.

 

Kakyouin-san extended her hand towards me again.

 

"Come, Kushina. Will you come with me? Let's live together. Will you stay by my side from now on? Don't... leave me."

 

I reach out to take Kakyouin-san's hand.

I feel a sense of unease... but it would be strange to refuse.

 

"───!"

 

As I closed the distance between Kakyouin-san and myself, a black liquid began to leak from the ground and increase in volume. What's this?

 

Well, whatever. If Kakyouin-san isn't reacting to it, it's probably her doing. I continued forward regardless───

 

"───!"

"───!!"

 

Just as I reached out to take Kakyouin-san's hand with my left hand, the ring suddenly glowed.

 

The ring emitted a sudden, intense light.

It only glowed for a moment, but Kakyouin-san distorted her expression as if she hated the light and took a step back from me. The surrounding black water seemed to disappear as if it had been erased by the light.

 

"………?"

 

What was that? Just now?

 

"………So, you judge me as impure, huh... Chrisya"

 

"Huh?"

 

What does that mean?

A shadow had suddenly appeared on Kakyouin-san's face.

 

"……………Haa, Kushina"

 

"What is it, Kakyouin-san?"

 

"Could you take off that ring?"

 

"Huh?"

 

I looked down at the ring I was wearing. Take the ring off, huh... Well, that's...

 

"Sorry, I can't do that."

 

"Why?"

 

"Because Chrisya-san told me to wear it... and besides"

 

"Besides?"

 

"This ring is beautiful"

 

I raised my hand to the sky, and the ring, which shone even more beautifully in the light, caught my eye. Chrisya-san also told me so, and I don't want to take this ring off...

 

"………"

 

There was a moment of silence. I couldn't see Kakyouin-san's face very well because it was shadowed by her hair.

 

"Haa... You're still the same as always"

 

Kakyouin-san sighed, and then a wry smile appeared on her face.

 

"Fine, I'll give up for now. But after I adapt to this power, soon, I will come for you.”

 

"………? Kakyouin-san, what are you talking───"

"Hey, Kushina"

 

"───Hm?"

 

"You like beautiful things, right?"

 

"Huh? Yeah"

 

What is it? I don't quite understand what Kakyouin-san is saying.

 

"Then, wait a little longer. When I come to get you, I'll be much, much more beautiful than I am now."

 

"………Huh...?"

 

"So wait for me"

 

...Wait for you?

 

"Don't worry, everything will be fine soon. If it's me───if it's us... There's no way it won't work out. Fufufu... Wait for me, Kushina, wait for me..."

 

The black water that had appeared earlier now appeared only around Kakyouin-san, and her body began to sink into it.

 

"Goodbye for now, Kushina"

 

With a slightly sad expression on her face, Kakyouin-san disappeared.
