>, but someone cloaked in white with a strange face guard.Through it’s rough voice, the only other identifiable feature, it was a man.
[Its you as I thought.What do you want?]
[I just wanted to ask you how it feels to be a king this way.]
[If your talking about being a king, then I have already experienced it.]
[That’s true, but it’s your first time being the king of humans, right? Even if you’re only a temporary one.]
[Temporary… huh.Kukuku, certainly that is true.I don’t really care about the people who live here after all.]
[…Are you really going to move?]
[Kuku, you seem to be in a strange bind, right?Is it really fine for you to stay here?]
A m.u.f.fled laughter could be heard from the man who bares the strange mask.
[No, no. I just wanted to see the interesting thing that was happening with my own eyes.]
[Is that so? Your hobby is unexpectedly quite strange.]
[Is it really that worse from yours?]
[Kuku, maybe. Who knows?]
[Alright then, I will go around somewhere.]
[Are you leaving already?]
[Eh, I certainly don’t wish to be a busy body.]
[Eh, if it can be allowed; sure.]
Avoros turns around and faces the man.
[Are there…. More of you?]
[Eh, that depends on if you can keep me entertained, you know?]
[Fuu~. Then it looks like I have to work hard.]
Avoros shrugged his shoulders in an exaggerated manner.
The man slowly faded into darkness, just as he arrived.
Avoros continued to glare at the existence that had left.
After staring for a while, he turned around and returned to look at the cityscape once again.
However, his expression was not as loose as before.
[There are some things that can’t be done.Even at the cost of the entire world, I cannot hand it over.]
His face filled with sorrow, he whispers to himself quietly under the starry sky.
Hiiro laid on the bed, consumed in thought.
At night, a time when he normally would be cruising through books Hiiro continued to ponder about the story that Alisha told during the day. Only Hiiro"s breathing could be heard, the lights in the room were switched off and the room was covered in darkness.
Hiiro stared at the ceiling, borrowing the light from the moon.
His gaze slowly moved to the windows and looked at the night sky.
[You can tell if I am lying or not if you use your magic, can’t you?]
He remembered his conversation with Arisa.
She was right, using his magic he could not be deceived.
[The reason why I told you all of this, you already know.]
[….Why?]
[Eh?]
[I know that the story is true.Then why did that brat leave me alone?]
[……]
[If I noticed such an existence then I would either bring that person to my side as a colleague or eliminate the person.]
[True.If such a person was not a friend, then there would not be an existence more troublesome.]
[Then….]
[That’s why from now on.]
[What?]
[Avoros might actually start doing something from now on.]
[Is this what your Fortune Telling skill is telling you?]
[Unfortunately. Fortune Telling is not so universal.]
Hiiro got up from his bed and opened the window.
A cool breeze shook Hiiro"s raven black hair.
Hiiro flew out of the window using the character [Flight].
Now in full view, the full moon s.h.i.+nes brightly in the night sky.
Hiiro flew straight ahead as if aiming for the moon.
After reaching a considerable alt.i.tude he stopped flying and remembered the conversation with Arisa.
[Be careful Hiiro-kun.]
[…….]
[There is a reason why Avoros did not move against you up till now.
But considering that magic you inherit, it is not possible that he would leave you alone.
Moreover, you have decided to fight, right? He is the founder of > after all.][….Ah.]
[The only thing I can do, is give you this advice.
It’s regrettable, but I don’t have the ability to fight Avoros.]
[…. It’s not like the army will be able to completely deal with them, right?]
[…. Eh?]
[There are various methods to a fight.
Thanks to you, I was able to slightly understand the aim of that boy.
Advice and support so that he does not fight himself? At least it looks that way.]
At that moment, Arisa’s stunned face was quite interesting.
[…… Fufufu, as expected you’re quite strong.You resemble that person similarly.]
[I will not change.This world, the moment that I stepped into it, has become my own.I will not allow the world to be destroyed before I have enjoyed it.]
[Hiiro-kun…]
[There are plenty of books and food that I still haven’t tried.If that guy is trying to destroy the world, I will stop him.For BOOKS AND FOOD!]
[….. Ahahahahaha! You are truly an interesting guy.… Hey Hiiro-kun, do you still remember the fortune that I told you before?]
[I forgot it.]
[Ara? That’s terrible for you, fufu.But still, that fortune was incomplete.]
[Incomplete?]
[Eh, I told you this earlier.Everyone has a star in their heart.] (This is straight out of chapter 3)
With that single sentence, Hiiro remembered that she had said the same thing on that day.
Each has its own shape, color, size and radiance there are hundreds of thousands of variations.
It was the fortune that Arisa had judged by looking at Hiiro.
Hiiro"s star was burning red with a blue outline which outs.h.i.+ned everything else.
A complete sphere with change in shape anywhere on it.
With a glow which emitted dazzling light which would arouse the eyes of any onlooker.
[The light is gentle and warm.A strong will that would not waver.]
[……]
[Inside the light, I could see a small seed.]
[A seed?]
[The origin of the seed is unknown.It’s a premonition for the future.The seed has yet to flower.]
[Seed… huh.]
[I don’t know what kind of flower will grow, but I know that everything will go well when it does.]
[Is this Fortune Telling?]
[Fufu, no.no. This is more like, intuition?]
[I don’t understand properly, but I shall pave my own road. That’s it.]
[…… Understood.
I shall also do what I can.See you again, Hiiro-kun.]
Hiiro remembered this conversation that he had with Arisa while looking at the moon and allowing the night breeze to ruffle him.
At that moment, he could feel a slight weight on his shoulder.
[….. What do you want yellow monkey?]
Ten the [Spirit] appeared on Hiiro’s shoulder.
The monkey could teleport to any location where the > was at any time.The evidence could be seen as he had appeared on Hiiro"s shoulder when he was so high in the sky.
However, there was no smile on the monkey"s face, he looked seriously at Hiiro.
With that look Hiiro could understand what happened.
[You heard it right?]
[….. Aa, you had said it before, right? >-chan and I share sense with me.You must have properly listened in, right?]
[……. That’s right.]
The two looked up at the moon in the same way.
[Hey Hiiro, no matter what Avoros does, let"s make sure to foil it.]
[Obviously.]
[Ukiki! Though I am quite surprised by the truth, but the past is the past right? It has nothing to do with the present.]
[Ah, it’s time to have a good time with > soon.That shall not change.]
Once again, Hiiro’s resolve was strengthened.
