Chapter 86
Please
Translator : PolterGlast
After a moving reunion
and a passionate hug, a brief moment passed.
Miku and I realized
almost simultaneously that we had been hugging each other, neglecting our
surroundings, and we were mortified by the embarrassment.
"S-Sorry, Masaru-kun,
I was just so happy to see you again..."
"Y-Yeah, me
too..."
While apologizing
profusely, we checked on each other's condition.
Fortunately, neither
of us seemed to be injured, so there was no need to use recovery magic.
"...(glances)"
Miku-san, who was
mostly looking down, occasionally peeked at me.
Her appearance was
quite different from what I remembered from half a year ago.
...Come to think of
it, that's natural.
There's no way she
would have stayed the same after coming to another world.
First of all, she
wasn't wearing her school uniform, but rather clothes from this world.
And not just ordinary
linen clothes, but a blue and white nun's habit that looked very high-class.
And her face seemed
more mature than before.
Her gentle expression
hadn't changed, but... there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
I heard that Miku-san
had received the [Saint] gift and was healing injured people under the care of
the Holy Church. She must have gone through a lot...
"You're probably
quite tired, right?"
"Y-Yeah... I'm
almost out of MP, and honestly, I'm pretty beat..."
Miku-san, who said
that with a smile, was clearly exhausted.
She had been fighting
the Elder Lich until just now, so it was no wonder she was tired.
After calming myself
down, I pulled myself together.
I had to let her rest
properly.
(--It's okay, I can
trust Miku-san.)
I activated my [Home]
gift.
When I opened the
door, my house suddenly appeared.
While the door was
closed, my house was invisible to anyone but me.
But conversely, if I
opened the door, my house would be visible to others.
Miku-san, looking up
at my house, had a surprised expression on her face.
It was no wonder she
was surprised to see a familiar house suddenly appear.
"...Masaru-kun,
what is this...?"
"It's okay. Trust
me and come with me."
"U-Un!"
When I timidly took
Miku-san's hand, she gripped it back tightly.
I felt a strong
determination that she wouldn't let go.
And so, I showed the
power of [Home] to someone for the first time since I came to this Alistella--.
"E-Excuse
me..."
"Welcome...
though there's no one here but me."
As usual, I left my
shoes scattered around, and Miku-san neatly arranged them for me.
She seemed very
interested in the power of [Home], and was looking around the house.
She hesitated for a
moment, then asked me with a determined look.
"This is
Masaru-kun's house, right...?"
"Yeah, that's
right. My gift is [Home], and it's the power to summon something that looks
like my house."
"A gift...
[Home]... something that looks like your house...?"
I couldn't help but
laugh at Miku-san, who was tilting her head in confusion.
Indeed, it was a bit
hard to understand even if it was explained.
I had accepted it
relatively early on, but this was probably the normal reaction.
"...Does this
mean that other things besides the entrance are also reproduced?"
"Yeah, we have
daily necessities and food, and I can run the appliances with my MP."
"Food... and even
appliances!? I think this is the first time I've heard the word 'appliances'
since I came here!"
Miku-san, who started
walking, was moving as fast as if she wasn't tired at all.
Seeing her eyes
sparkling made me feel energized too.
When she opened the
door, there was a living room with a refrigerator and air conditioner.
"Fuwaaaa~~"
Miku-san, who let out
a sigh of amazement, fixed her gaze on something.
When I followed her
gaze, I saw a transparent container filled with rice.
Miku-san moved her
neck like a wind-up doll with worn-out gears.
"M-Masaru-kun...
you weren't lying about what you said earlier, right?"
I immediately
understood what she was hoping for.
So I said the answer
she was looking for.
"Yeah, the rice
cooker works."
Miku-san turned
towards me with vigor and came rushing closer.
And looking up at me
with puppy-dog eyes, like a girl asking for something she wanted,
"...Can I cook
some rice?"
She made a cute
request.
I, of course, readily
agreed to her request.
When I set the rice
cooker with water and rice to quick cook, a familiar melody played.
"How about a
hamburger for the side dish?"
"I love you,
Masaru-kun! I'll follow you forever!!"
And so, Miku-san was
fascinated by the [Home] gift in an instant.
While we were talking
about each other, the rice was cooked in no time--.
