Chapter 361: 361

Together with Neun-san and Eden-san, I walked away from Hero’s Hill and left Kuro and Dr . Vier alone .

The weather was fine, and the occasional breeze felt good against my body, which had been flushed from all the running .

[Even so, it was a relief, wasn’t it?]

[Yes, I agree . This should take some of the burden off Vier’s shoulders . By the way…… Kaito-san . ]

[Yes?]

[Ummm, you…… see…… She has been “menacingly glaring at me” since a while ago, can I ask who this person with an outrageous amount of magic power is? My body is instinctively shaking and I can’t walk properly……]

It’s easy for me to forget because of my Sympathy Magic, but having powerful magic power could feel oppressive to others, although it may not be as intimidating as Isis-san’s magic power of death .

Although it would be impossible to put pressure on others with only the magic power clad in their bodies, unless they’re as strong as the Six Kings…… Well, Eden-san does have more power than some of them, so the pressure Neun-san was feeling must have been quite considerable .

There are those who suppress their magic so as not to intimidate others, like Kuro, and there are those who have no intention of suppressing it, like Shiro . It seems like Eden-san is of the latter type…… Neun-san’s body was slightly shaking from earlier just because of her presence .

[Errr, this is Eden-san…… So to speak, she’s errr…… the God of our previous world . ]

[……I- Is that so…… A- And so, why is she glaring at me? E- Eden-sama?]

When Neun-san timidly asked her that, Eden-san stared at Neun-san with a serious look on her face…… before she muttered to herself .

[……Doubt . ]

[Ehh? E- Errr, Kaito-san?]

[I’m sorry . I have no idea what she’s thinking either . ]

After muttering a few words, she looked away from Neun-san, as if she had lost interest, and then looked towards me…… Her mouth distorted into the shape of a crescent moon, creating a really fiendish smile . Seriously though, she looks scary when she smiles……

W- Well, let’s just leave it at that…… I should thank her for her help……

[A- Anyway…… Eden-san, thank you for helping me today . ]

[Gratitude, Unnecessary, Cooperate, Natural . ]

[……If it’s possible, please speak normally . ]

[There’s no need to thank me, for it’s natural for Mother to help you…… “my beloved child” . ]

As soon as I heard those words, I immediately turned around and started running .

I didn’t have a clear reason for why I ran away, but my instincts must have reacted the moment I saw the murky heart in Eden-san’s eyes .

[Well, you’re quite lively, aren’t you, my child? However, that won’t do . You can’t just suddenly run, you may trip and fall, you know?]

[……Ah, yes . ]

I thought I had started running, but for some reason, I was currently being hugged!? This is bad, I can’t run away!?

As I was caught, red alerts began sounding in my head…… but surprisingly, Eden-san immediately let go of my body and smiled .

[……Errr……]

Eden-san wasn’t saying a word . She was just staring at me with a smile . Something feels strange though . She supposedly should have had a very beautiful smile on her lips, but I couldn’t stop the chills that were running down my spine…… My limbs should have been free, but I couldn’t help but wonder if that was really the case……

A- Anyway, this silence is hard on my mental health…… I think I should say something……

[……Ummm, even if you’re saying that you don’t mind, Eden-san, since you helped me, I’d like to thank you in some way…… Ahh, t- that’s right! Eden-san, if it’s alright with you, would you like to participate in the Six Kings? Ummm, I can invite you with my invitation……]

After I said it, I immediately regretted it . I wondered why I was trying to strangle myself…… However, it was already too late, as Eden-san’s smile grew deeper .

[My, my, my child is inviting mother huh . Ahh, I’m really glad . Of course, mother will be happy to accept…… Ahh, don’t worry . It seems like my child already has his own plans, so I will be sightseeing on my own . I need to make sure that this world is a good environment for my child . Yes, of course, I don’t doubt my child’s eyes . However, mother is worried . I’m just worried that there might be some trash out there that’s going to harm my child . Yes, that’s right . I don’t want anyone to harm my child, and I won’t allow for such a thing to happen . My child’s body and mind are sacred . Yes, there’s no way that I would allow anyone to defile it, yes, that’s right…… Speaking of which, there were those “fools who dared to give my child trouble” earlier, weren’t there? As far as I’m concerned, they should be erased but…… I will not do such a thing that would make my kind child sad . However, I should “educate” them . Yes, that’s right . Let’s educate them……]

[Eden-san! Stop! Stoooooopppp!]

As I thought, she really is super scary! Neun-san already looked like a newborn fawn, so please stop with that killing intent-filled magic power of yours!?

[E- Eden-san, I- I’m glad about the thought but…… I- It’s alright! Please don’t do that! Please!]

[……I see . If that’s what my child wants, I won’t do it . ]

[T- Thank you . ]

[Well then, my beloved child, I’ll take my leave now . If you need me again, you can call me anytime . Mother will always be on your side . ]

[……Y- Yes . ]

Seeing that Eden-san somehow understood me, I patted my chest in relief .

However, it really is a bit surprising…… I didn’t think that she would easily say she would leave . I thought asking her to go home would be the hardest thing to persuade her for, but I never expected that she would say it herself…… Wait . Ahh, that’s right . I guess it was because “Kuro is nearby” huh……

After smiling at me again, Eden-san was enveloped in light before she disappeared .

Unnn, this trump card…… The “feather that can summon Eden-san at any time” . Sadly, it’s also a double-edged sword that can chip away at my mind…… Let’s hold back on using this again .

Even so, unnn…… With the way things went, I ended up inviting Eden-san to the Six Kings Festival…… W- Would it be alright? I’d like to wish…… that everything will be alright .

Dear Mom, Dad———— Ummm, it was painfully obvious that Eden-san was thinking of my well-being…… but it’s as if her Affection Meter is out of control, and it’s really scary . Unnn, how should I say this————— I may have been a bit hasty .

I guess you could say that it’s a good thing that she listens to him when he asks her to stop huh?

~~ Extra: Today’s Mama Eden ~~

[……Doubt . (I can say that the soul is that of my child, but the body doesn’t belong to one of my own . I’m not sure if she counts as my child or not . Of course, compared to my beloved, supreme child, she’s just like any other trash, but if she’s my child, I can’t just ignore her . If she’s not my child, she’s quite distracting, so I should send her flying about 10,000 km away . No, I guess it’s a mistake for me to waver in the first place . Since my beloved child is here, I should talk with him instead . Ahh, how stupid of me . I’ve lost precious 347 seconds of my time that I could have spent watching my child . What a blunder it is . I’ll bear it in mind from now on . Ahh, as I thought my child’s gallant face is too wonderful . )]

~~ When she hugged Kaito ~~

[(Ahh, how loveable my child is . How robust his body is . Holding him in my embrace like this, my child’s warmth and his scent is filling me up . Ahh, this is supreme joy . Ahh, my child is so charming . Impossibly charming . I want to love him right now, all over his body, down to his every cell…… However, there’s that annoying half-body of that God…… Guhhh, I guess I’ll just have to be patient here…… D*mn you, God’s half-body . How dare you interrupt my moment with my child……)]
