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

"What do you say, Yuno? You're strong, right?

For some reason, I asked Serena, who was telling Tina that with her face, what was bothering me.

"Tina...?

"... at Tina... that's fine."

While sitting with Petang, Tina looked at me with her wet eyes and unexpectedly felt a thrill.

"Yes, then, Tina.I need to ask you something, okay?

"... what?

"I'm talking about God. When did you get here?

That's why I send a glance at God who shines. [M]

"Yes... she's like Athena."

That said, Tina turned to God just like I did, with her face slightly broken.

"I don't know when.I was there when I realized it.I was a little distracted at first... but it seemed like I was working really hard... "

"... yes."

Probably... I think you're training to be a god.

After all, I don't know if that's going to make me stronger, but... my chest got hot.

"--I like people who are working hard."

Huh?

"She may be a god.Nothing has changed. It's so nice. "

"......!

Unconsciously, it's coming.

After all, Tina is a kind girl.It's a little unusual.

Onee-sama

"Hmm? What's wrong?

The wind shakes their red hair.

Looking at the sisters who stared at each other in the middle of that, I felt as if I was watching the story.

"Look at this.I will definitely join the student council. "

Listening to Tina's words, Serena smiles gently.

"Yes, but to do that, you have to cross Yuno.

Hearing Serena's words, Tina stood up on the spot and turned to me again, staring straight at me.

When I saw the red eyes of determination, I realized.

--Ahh... maybe she's the one who's going to be in the final of the tournament...

Barrett's second daughter, Tina Barrett.

That's how Tina gave me her right hand.

Of course, I accept it.

"The Astario family is the third son, Yuno Astario."

Shake hands together.Tina looked at me modestly. [M]

"... can you ask someone to practice with?

Tina's eyes shake with anxiety.

I'm sure you remember all the things you've said to me before.

But you don't have to worry about that.

"Of course, thank you, Tina."

I don't think I can dislike you for saying God is nice.

◆

After that, the three of us were discussing Tina's future.

"A spear...?

"Yes, as I said before, I'm sure your spear is more pointed than your sword.Don't you, Yuno? "

"... I see."

Indeed. Tina's last prick was a splendid one.

I'm sure it's more appropriate that she shook her sword than she did.

Of course, judging by the first battle alone is premature...

― ― It is recalled that Tina's rainbow begging ritual is unique.

- Yeah.

"I think Tina's got a spear on her!

That's what I said. [M]

Tina then turned down and whispered something rash.

"But... the path to the mightiest swordsman in the world taught by Lord Lloyd..."

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but apparently that unique attitude is senpai Lloyd's cunning wisdom.

... is there any point in that weird attitude?

While she was thinking about it, Tina suddenly turned her eyes towards me and sparkled.

"Hey, Yuno! You weren't at all strong, were you?

"... that's right."

"After all, you got stronger because you got the skills?

"Yes, it will."

In my settings, though.

"... onee-sama, I've made up my mind"

Tina said that and turned to Serena, holding her hands tightly - this is how she mouthed.

"I, Athena, have a deal!

…………

Silence came to this place.

I hear the wind shaking the plants and trees - "Yaaah!The voice of God.

At the same time, I was driven by the urge to shout out with so much joy.

The goddess Athena became quite a famous goddess in school.However, none of those who wanted a contract as a single person have appeared.

"... yes. Do what you want.But I have to tell you as a sister. "

Serena stares straight at Tina at me once. [M]

"The goddess Athena was originally a wild god.In other words, even if you sign up, the benefits will still be small.Is that what you're saying?

I just kept quiet about the words Serena told Tina. [M]

Because it is true.Still, only Spear Magic can be gained from the contract with the goddess Athena.

Serena had no choice but to advise her that way.

There were many people in this world who wanted to make a contract with a more prestigious God, and that was obvious.It is no exaggeration to say that almost all of the students at Ferris Magic Knight School want to enroll.

Besides, we're young.There's no need to do anything now about the one-time contract.Not to mention...

I just chewed my lips silently as I looked at God. [M]

"No problem!I told you! My goal is to join the student council!I came to the conclusion that I needed skills to do this.Besides, if you want to make a deal, I want to make a deal with God, a hard-working man like Athena. "

…………

--This is when I decided to be prepared.

Indeed, the skills gained are still small.However, it is a story at the current time (...) point (...).

I do not hesitate to use my power to make God famous. [M]

I'll prove to her that Tina made no mistake.

First, the tournament. I pledge my full support for her success. [M]

Hello, hello. When Tina and I, who have a contract with Athena, win until the finals, the name of the goddess Athena will roar all over the school.

The problem is, at that time, I...

"... eh? Mr. Yuno?

When I think about that, my ears catch God's little voice.

God, who hid half his body in a tree a little further away, stared at me embarrassed and blushed.

"I'm sorry, God! Am I interrupting?

When I said that, the goddess Athena shook her head beside her in a hurry.

While I was dusty about it, I put it in front of me that there was something important to talk about, pulled my little hand, and took God out to Tina.

"Ah, um..."

God shakes his eyes as he grips his hands on his chest in shame.

The face was so bright red that it seemed like hot air would come out.

……

Tina didn't say anything.

Just shut up and look up at God with one knee under the goddess Athena.

And...

"Athena, please sign a contract with me."

"─ ─ Huh?"

God's crimson eyes are wide open.

Then, a little bit later, God shakes his eyes with an incredible look at me. [M]

Once I nodded little, I looked at God and smiled.

The moment - the red eyes burst into moisture.

After seeing this, I suddenly almost cried. [M]

--That's good.Jesus Christ.

This contract was taken by the goddess Athena herself.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The results came back in form.

"Um... I still can't do anything... and I'm weak, I'm sure..."

"It's Tina. I'm Tina Barrett."

"Thank you for bothering Tina....!

"I don't have any friends.And I've been called the incompetence of the Barrett family ever since.I don't care about the voices of the field anymore. "

"Hold on!

"― ― Dear Goddess Athena. I will definitely spread the name of Athena!Try to prove to me that you don't lie!

"Nh...!

I'm probably the one who was shocked by the words. [M]

desperately suppresses the rising tears.

"Yuno. Give my sister my regards."

Yes, Serena's voice whispered in my ear - it was very gentle.

"Yes, absolutely. I won't regret it."

This day- I got my precious friends.

◆ [Serena perspective]

While watching Tina's beloved sister's contract ceremony, I was thinking about the boy beside me, Yuno Astario.

No, it's not. Examination (...), (...), (...), et al. (...), (...), (...)

Remember that empty stance I showed you during the mock fight with Tina.

I was supposed to be pointing my back, and I felt like I had a spear pointed at my throat.

Gara's empty back. If I see you on the battlefield, I will step in without hesitation.

But I can't imagine where I'm going from the moment I step in.

Only one person who has such an impression has ever lived.There was no one but Kensei Ray Astario.

More than I imagined... no, I'm sure I've only seen a few of them yet.

I don't think everything I feel is right.I was getting information from Lloyd, so I might be overestimating it a little...

I thought as I looked at Yuno-kun, who smiles gently while moistening his eyes.

I'm sure Tina's right.

If Yuno Astario's strengths are what I think they are...

― ― The contract with the goddess Athena is correct.
