I Think I'll Hide My True Ability to the Last Moment

While I was putting hot water on my shoulders, I looked at the moon floating in the night sky. [M]

"I have to thank my seniors."

I nod at the murmur of the clime I'm bathing with.

Originally, this place was just boiling water, and after many years, it has been so stunning that it can be said to be the inn's hot spring.

"--is that it? Luna"

... I'm upset.

One thin wall apart, Luna and the others can hear a pleasant voice.

I look up at the night sky again to discipline myself and sigh at the sight of the stars and the moon close by.

"... you look beautiful."

Only the moon's light is the only light.That gently illuminates us.

Yuno, are you doing well with Luna?

Clime looked at me and said, "Po-chan, that's how the water plays."

"I wonder... are you doing well?I wonder. At least he hasn't been fired yet. "

When I say that and laugh, Kleim somehow has a grotesque expression.

And then I murmured with a tiny voice.

"I envy you."

"... eh?

"... to be honest, I regretted it.Very much. "

I immediately understood what Klime wanted. [M]

So I'll ask directly. [M]

"... does Klim like Luna?

When I heard that, Klime opened his eyes a little surprised and then blushed his face with his fingers wide open. [M]

"I wonder.I've always wanted to live with this feeling. "

... my back itches.

Klime... I can see that, too.If you name your feelings, you'll definitely be in love.

"I've wanted it since I was a kid.I really wanted her to admit it, and I've been doing my best. "

So proudly, Climb was very dazzling to me. [M]

"That's not why, but there's one thing I want to ask you."

I nodded back slightly lost in a serious expression. [M]

"... what?

"Why have you... been so lazy?

I took a breath.

"What does that mean?"

"― Skill Spear Magic .I think that's the power you got when you signed up with the goddess Athena. "

I nodded silently.

"Then there's something funny about it.How are you going to explain the boundaries magic you used today?

"Thank you for everything... that's the magic Alice taught me..."

"― ― Superior Magic Sanctuary Boundary (Holy Shield) . That's the magic name you used today.The difficulty of ranking is level seven.It's not very good, but it's not magic that can be used by people who have been called incompetent before.In fact, Alice is the only new student who can handle that magic. "

Before the camp began, I asked Alice to show me the magic of the border. [M]

When the magic was activated, I remember Alice's slightly relieved expression.

I see. Alice, did you show me such difficult magic? [M]

"I've always... always wondered.I wonder why Luna chose you.Indeed, you gave your classmates a blood festival with the Spear Skill you got under contract with God. "

No, that's not true.A blow. A blow. I haven't shed a drop of blood.

"However, everyone can see that the result is due to the presence or absence of skills.That's because skills can be a symbol of absolute power in a sense.But it's not. I'm pretty sure today.So I'll ask you again. "

Clime's blue eyes penetrate me. [M]

"Why are you playing incompetence?

... play incompetence.

"What does it mean to make yourself look inferior?"

"Klime"

Just one word, when I say so, Klime closes his mouth and waits for my words to continue.

"I may certainly not be incompetent.But I don't intend to play incompetence until now. "

I have struggled to learn to control my power.

I was a little distracted and afraid of hurting someone.

When I overcome such fears, it was just a telephone called "Incapacity" that followed me.

In addition, if I had nothing to do with my strength, I wouldn't have wanted to be a hero.

"But you're hiding your true power.And Luna must have noticed it.Isn't that right? "

... Climb Elrod. Apparently, he's a stranger to rumors.

"I guess so. But let me just say one thing."

I look into Climb's eyes and declare clearly. [M]

"I have no intention of hiding my power from you."

Yes, I used to, but now I have a goal.

"Wow! Look how beautiful the Moon is!

My God's pleasant voice can be heard from beyond the wall.

--I 've already decided how to use this power.

Raise the Goddess Athena to the Supreme God.

That's my choice, my path.

"... you have incredible eyes.Well, then you have a reason to work hard, too?

"... is that how it feels?Well then, I'll go first... "

― ― The surface of the water shakes.

At that moment, the tight nudity of the clime floated in the light of the soft moon.

What?

All of a sudden, I was surprised.

Anyway, Climb's Klime is clearly visible in my eyes.

"Well, what's the matter?

When I said so, I found Climb's hot eyes pointing at me.

"Yuno... I have a favor to ask you... why don't you do it with me?

- Huh?

"Duel."

This is crazy!

"Why are you and me doing this?"

"I want to fight you that Luna admitted."

It was a heavy, deep voice.

The eyes of a man who makes him feel ready.

I wonder why. I wanted to respond to it.

"Where and when?

"Today, after everyone's rested.Let's decide where we're going to be. "

As I nodded, Klime smiled gently and left the scene behind.

"... a duel?"

I stretched my arm to the moon floating in the night sky, whispering like that alone.
