Chapter 616: 616

The place Fate-san brought me was her temple, a place I had visited several times before . I’ve never really taken the time to look around her temple, but the large room, with its beautifully decorated pillars, had a sacred atmosphere to it .

[……Errr, Fate-san? Why are we here?]

[For the atmosphere, I guess? I thought that, as expected, if we’re going to do “that”, this would be a good place for it . ]

[“That”…… what do you mean?]

[Errr, well, it doesn’t really mean anything but…… I have a present for Kai-chan . ]

[A present?]

When I tilted my head at Fate-san’s words, she slightly smiled, and letting go of my arm, I walked to the far end of her temple…… to an area where there is something that looks like an altar .

She then looked at me straight in the eye from a higher vantage point, smiled and spoke .

[By my name———– By the name of Fate———– I tell the revolving fate . ]

[ ! ? ]

A voice full of dignity echoed in the hall…… containing words that I think I’ve heard twice before . Could this be……

[That this person———– Miyama Kaito———– is one I acknowledge worthy of my blessing . ]

The first time I heard it was when I met Shiro-san, and the second time was at a party at the royal castle I attended with Lilia-san . They were words that held very important meaning for the Gods .

[Therefore———– By my name———– By the name of Fate———– I command the fate . ]

Fate-san’s appearance as she announced this, releasing a huge amount of magic power, combined with the atmosphere of the temple, looks very divine . However, her expression was filled with tenderness that seemed to envelop me .

[Oh, Revolving Fate———– Become the guiding wind and push his back forward———– Lead him to a blessed future———– By my name———– By the name of Fate———–]

Up to this point, it was the same as what Chronois-san had said to Lilia-san . However, Fate-san paused for a moment, before she continued with a dazzling smile on her face .

[———–I command———– That this one’s name———– That the name of Miyama Kaito———–As “my beloved”———– To be inscribed in fate———– in conjunction with my name . ]

With those words, dazzling lights began dancing around my body and started gathering together .

[It doesn’t have much use for Kai-chan, who has received Shallow Vernal-sama’s blessing…… But even if that’s so, I want you to accept it . To Kai-chan, who accepted my feelings and this contradictory heart of mine in its entirety———– Filled with my overflowing love———– I wish for a blessed future for Kai-chan———– And thus, I give it to the one and only you———– The blessing of fate . ]

The converging light was then absorbed into my body and I felt warmth fill my heart . I see, this really is the best present I could have gotten .

As I was so happy with Fate-san’s feelings that I was lost for words…… Fate-san got off the altar and walked towards me, and with her blushing face turned down, she hugged my arm again .

[……Ahh, this is insanely embarrassing……]

[Errr, ummm, Fate-san . Thank you . It makes me feel very happy . ]

[U- Unnn . I- If you’re happy about it…… I’m happy too . T- Then, how about…… we continue our date?]

[Yes!]

Dear Mom, Dad—————- Even though the person herself said that it doesn’t have much use for me, who has Shiro-san’s blessing, I don’t think that’s true . At the very least, the warm and happy feeling that fills my heart now————- I think it’s thanks to Fate-san’s present, her blessing .

———–Hey, the guy over there .

Yes, if I remember correctly, my story with Kai-chan started with those words . What were the feelings I had for Kai-chan at that time again? I think it was “He seems easy to handle” or something horrible like that .

It’s strange, isn’t it? I’m the God who governs fate…… A being who should be able to see the future, but I didn’t even know a single thing regarding my own future .

No, I think I could have at least seen my future if I wanted to . However, the me at that time…… doesn’t hold any interest in my own future .

Only holding the thought that it would be nice if I could just relax and take it easy, I never thought of any concrete plan . I didn’t have any aspirations for the future .

For the time being, if I can just take things easy, that’s good enough for me…… I was such a being . That must be why, I guess . When I became aware of my love for Kai-chan…… It was agonizing for me .

This self-indulging, irresponsible and selfish me, dares to fall in love with Kai-chan, holding such a thought made me feel like an inexcusable jerk . I knew from the beginning that I was in love with Kai-chan . But the more I loved Kai-chan, the more I hated myself .

However…… I gave up . Kai-chan still accepted my feelings . Kai-chan affirmed that it was okay that he couldn’t be my first priority .

It was the first time since I was born that I felt that happy .
