Chương 101: Chapter 67:”Yu Awakens”

I wanted to see him for so long. Finally. I met him again.

"Lenks!" He showed a face relieved from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm glad I made it in time." My chest was getting hot. He came to save me again. —Huh? Why "again"— When I wondered. She, who has been sleeping inside me all this time—. The memories of the other " Watashi" flowed in suddenly. Memories of numerous times spent with him as "Watashi" revive vividly in an instant. That's right. Being called out many times for trivial things. Exchanging light banter. Being approached relentlessly and dodging.

He tried to do something together about " Ore" who had a big problem at that time. —That's right. Even when my ability went out of control that day, Lenks was—. I finally remembered everything. I have always been protected by this "Blond Brother". I was always being saved. My chest becomes full. He came to save me "again". At that time, my body suddenly became light. The strength that had been drained is returning. The effect of [Interference] disappeared...?

"How is it. Can you stand?" Lenks gently held out his hand. When I tried to move, I could move without any problems anymore. Immediately taking his hand, I stand up.

"You could have come earlier, though." Putting intimacy into it, I dared to say it in a light tone. Rather than thanking him exaggeratedly, this way of interacting suits him better.

"Heroes are supposed to arrive late." Raising the corners of his mouth ni and saying so with a smug face. Although his mouth is light. From his forehead to his cheeks, he was sweating profusely. He must have come here in quite a hurry.

"You say that. Thank you for saving me again."

"You're welcome." Will, who had descended to the ground before I knew it, had a grumpy face. He was supposed to drop the moon and destroy the world, but he was blocked by Lenks at the last moment. It must be quite unamusing.

"Do you intend to get in my way? Lenks." Lenks steps forward one step while restraining me with his hand as if to protect me. His back looked much bigger and more reliable than the actual one.

"This battle was Yu's win. Isn't it boorish to come out now and dig it up?"

"Hmph. Do you think I care about such things one by one?"

"Doesn't sound like the words of a guy who usually pulls strings behind the scenes and plays. What's wrong only this time? It's not like you." I didn't miss Will frowning for a moment at Lenks's point. But I have absolutely no idea why.

"Nothing in particular. It was just too boring, so I came out directly."

"Heh. Is that so. But for that, you seem strangely obsessed with Yu. Why?" Will is obsessed with me!? Why? Will stared at me being confused for a little bit, then returned his gaze to Lenks again.

"There's no big reason. Just somehow looking at this guy—I don't like it." When he narrowed his eyes sharply, I felt like the darkness dwelling in his eyes became one step deeper. The intimidation that makes my legs freeze just by confronting him becomes stronger and stronger. Trying to make me tremble from the bottom of my heart. On the other hand, even receiving the same pressure, Lenks didn't look shaken at all.

"I see. I understand well. But." He points his finger at Will and declares firmly.

"I won't let you do as you please with Yu. Because she is my precious person." I was happy. Really reassuring. I feel touched involuntarily. Then Will started laughing loudly from the bottom of his heart happily.

"Precious person? Someone like this?" He looks down on me with scornful eyes as if looking at a worm.

"Not someone like this. It's Yu. I love Yu." When I heard Lenks say it with a straight face, my face suddenly became hot. Precious person, you meant THAT!? What an embarrassing thing to say...! Looking sideways with a start, Karla-senpai and Ketty-senpai, who were watching the situation with bated breath, were staring at me in surprise. When our eyes met, I became even more embarrassed and immediately looked away. Will seemed unable to help but find it funny.

It's the first time I've seen this guy laugh so venomously.

"Hahaha! Love, you say! There are some strange people!"

"This one is my woman. Don't touch her."

"Kukkukku—Fine. I was thinking of raping her forcibly while she cried and disliked it eventually, but I'll stop."

"Thanks for that." A terrifying thing that makes one's hair stand on end was cancelled smoothly. Well, I was relieved there. More than that, I couldn't stand it and stepped forward. What moved my feet, which had stopped being hit by Will's pressure, was surprisingly something trivial.

"Hey." Poke Lenks's shoulder chon from the side. Lenks (This idiot) turned only his face here while not neglecting vigilance against him.

"What, Yu. I'm acting cool right now, you know." While amazed at the teasing words, I couldn't help but retort harshly. I have to say this clearly. I can't stand being misunderstood by everyone. Stolen novel; please report.

"Since when did I become your woman!" Then Lenks answered immediately with a smiling face without a single cloud.

"That's, well. At any time, you are the woman of my heart!" Haa... Truly amazed. What is this guy saying. You really haven't changed, you.

"Creepy as usual."

"Good ring as usual." Despite being disparaged, he doesn't care at all, rather he looks happy. I forgot. This guy. He was a super pervert who rejoices at anything, even abuse, if it's about me. Abnormal obsession with me. Good grief. If it weren't for that, I could open up a little more to him. But I think Lenks is a mysterious person. Possessing cheat-level power, he never boasts about it. With his inherent playful personality, he softens the tension of the place fu. He shines light into any desperate situation.

Really reliable and reassuring. When I realized, my heart, which was so frightened, was completely looking up. It has become to the point where I can make such trivial retorts. Even if Will is the opponent. I feel like it will work out somehow if he is here.

"By the way, is the other Yu doing well?" Lenks asked about " Watashi's" safety. Surely " Watashi" would want to see him from the bottom of her heart too. But " Watashi" is...

"That is... she has been asleep all this time."

"What!? Let me examine a bit." Saying so, he stared deep into my eyes immediately. Can he understand something if he does this?

"Tch." I heard Will clicking his tongue displeasedly. Soon, Lenks, who opened his eyes wide with a start, directed a look of fierce anger at him.

"You bastard, Will...! How dare you, to Yu...!" Guessing from his anger, did he do something to her after all? Will said boringly without dealing with him getting enraged.

"What. Is it over already? I was thinking of bullying Yu who knows nothing more." What. I, who had already regained my composure against his attitude of thoroughly underestimating people, felt indignation. Lenks turns to me and speaks with a worried expression, changing completely.

"You, forced to use your ability several times while the other Yu was sleeping, didn't you?"

"Yeah..." The first time, [Magic Power Tolerance Limit Break] to release from restraint. The second time, [Teleportation] to escape from the laboratory. The third time, "Simultaneous use of two bodies" to defeat Clam. Especially the first and third times, I overdid it quite a bit. When time was stopped by Clam. I, who was desperate to save Argus, realized. Even in the world where time stopped, inside the World of Heart was somehow not affected.

Apparently, the flow of time is different between the World of Heart and the real world. As long as I was in the World of Heart, I had some time to think. Using the fact that I can move freely in the World of Heart, I thought desperately if I could do something. If I can use anything in this world in principle. I came to think that two bodies, man and woman, might not be an exception. So when I tried to move two bodies at the same time as a test... I could do it.... If I overdo it considerably.

Besides, I found out that Qi and Magic Power can be used even in the World of Heart. So, the life-risking strategy was decided. Activate [Arllivine] in the real world to attract Clam's attention. Immediately after, he used Time Stop as expected. While I can't do anything in the real world, I apply Qi Reinforcement to the male body in the World of Heart in advance. When Clam approaches to finish me off, I bring out the male body in the form of a switch.

The female body withdraws into the World of Heart along with [Arllivine] in a state almost prepared. Since magic remains as is even in the World of Heart, activating it never goes to waste. And the male body that appeared barely prevented the sword. The rest was switching the body once more and hitting him with [Arllivine] which was already in a state of just releasing. Doing that much, and further assuming without confirmation that he would aim for the heart, I finally caught him off guard.

Undoubtedly, I couldn't win with ability.

"Because of that, your ability was on the verge of going out of control. That was close."

"Was it dangerous?"

"Yeah. Wait. I'll wake her up now." When his hand touched my head softly—. We awakened. This is—. When I realized, Ore (Male) was in the World of Heart in a state fitted in the male body.

"Yu."

"You are—" Turning around at the voice, there was the figure of the other " Watashi" in front of me. She was no longer a spiritual body wrapped in pale light like when I saw her in the laboratory. Properly entering the female body, she has a firm body." Watashi" is smiling gently.

"Finally. We met again."

"Yeah." It was long. I wanted to see you for a long time too.

"Since then, really various things happened." To me trying to speak, " Watashi" closed her eyes softly and shook her head slightly.

"I know everything. Because I am You." Certainly. Words were unnecessary. In this place, there is nothing to hide the exposed heart. The hearts of the two were connected. Just by wishing, everything is transmitted to each other. Since I drifted to this world. The days spent surrounded by precious friends while struggling as a woman. Everything." Watashi" held out her left hand smoothly.

"From now on, we'll be together forever."

"Yeah. Together." When we held hands, my spirit left the body fu. My body that became a shell is left on the spot. I, who jumped out as a spiritual body, enter into " Watashi" as if melting." Watashi" hugged me tightly as if wrapping me. Like that time when she comforted me for the first time. Body and mind stick together, and the way of being changes little by little. I harmonize with " Watashi", receive " Watashi's" cooperation, and change into the existence of Female Me.

Eventually, I, who became completely one with " Watashi", put my hand on my chest softly. Warm." Watashi" fills my body and mind. Returning to the real world, I heard Lenks's gentle voice.

"How is it. How do you feel waking up?" I, who opened my eyes slowly, answered quietly to him who was looking into my face worriedly.

"I feel like I really woke up." It was refreshing as if the haze of my heart had cleared. Enough to clearly understand that I had been in a kind of confused state until now. Because " Watashi" was sleeping, the harmony of the heart seemed not to be going well. It seems that a state prone to mental instability continued for a long time. So, I was swayed by various things more than necessary. I couldn't have confidence in myself who couldn't become completely a man or a woman. But, it's okay now.

Because " Watashi" is with me from now on. As long as I am in this body, I can say I am a woman with my chest high. I can be as a woman. When I realized, the magic power that should have been almost empty had recovered to about half of full recovery. No, it didn't recover. Thanks to " Watashi" waking up, the usable capacity seems to have doubled. The base value has risen to double than before.

"Finally, [God Vessel] has awakened."

"As expected, you knew everything about the ability."

"Of course." Will shrugged his shoulders as if greatly amazed.

"I know well. That the power you should originally have is not such a thing yet." From his tone saying so, I feel something somewhat ironic. He looked around my whole body annoyingly and continued in an irritated tone.

"Despite that, clinging to that trash-like woman, a fake created by yourself, endlessly. That's why no matter how much time passes, you are in such a pathetic state. It seems you don't want to face yourself no matter what."

"What do you mean!?" That was a line " Watashi" inside me made me say.

"Calling Yu, such a cute girl, a fake, I can't let that slide." Lenks also questions together, though his way of saying is questionable. Will spread his arms and took a pretentious pose saying good grief. But his eyes are not laughing at all.

"Pretending not to know anything, living carefree only by yourself. For such a you, it's just right to have a particularly painful experience."

"What on earth do you want to say!? Say it clearly!"

"I told you. I—hate you." Flatly. It was told with undeniable intimidation.

"So, who will be my opponent?" Will, who is in a bad mood, forcibly cut off the topic and looked around. If it comes to this, he won't tell anything anymore. He seems to know various things, and I'm curious no matter what, but... it can't be helped. I, who switched my mind immediately, looked at Lenks who cut the啖呵 (tank - big words) earlier with expectation. There is no one but this guy who can fight properly with that monster. But his expression was not cheerful.

"Yu. Sorry, but I can't fight him for a while."

"Eh..."

"I have to push the moon back to its original position." Ah, right. There was such an important job! Since it has already reached the gravitational sphere, if left alone even a little, it will fall, Lenks says.

"To push up the moon, I need to open [Rebellion] fully. Unfortunately, I don't have the composure to fight."

"Then...!"

"Yeah. Until the work of returning the moon is over, someone else has to be his opponent." As expected, it becomes so...

"It's painful, but you are the only one who can do it now. I know I'm saying something totally unreasonable... but just for a while is fine. Can you hold out?" Certainly, I was the only one who could do it in this situation. I can't let Karla-senpai or Ketty-senpai fight that extremely dangerous destroyer. I am a FabL. Unlike everyone else, at worst... I can die.

"Can I do it?" Still, anxiety wraps my body. After all, the opponent is that Will. Although the ability finally awakened, the difference is still obvious. Thinking calmly, I didn't think there was anything I could do. He gently placed his hand on my head looking down pon and said.

"Of course, I will give you as much assistance as possible—Yu inside. You can hear me, right."

"Yeah. I can hear you." Using my mouth, " Watashi" answered.

"Listen. I will release the limit of various tolerances with [Rebellion] now. Your high potential should be released temporarily."

"That means...!" I understand because I used [Magic Power Tolerance Limit Break]. It is certainly a terrifyingly powerful buff. If my mind and body can endure it, though. Lenks was calculating that firmly too.

"I will apply various assistances so that your body can endure. Still, the World of Heart will be disturbed considerably. So suppress it firmly inside so as not to go out of control. Can you do it?"

"Of course. Leave it to me." To " Watashi's" firm reply, he nodded satisfied.

"Alright. Here I go." Then, immediately power surged through my body. From corner to corner of the whole body, rapidly taking in Magic Element, magic power rises like bottomless. Far exceeding the limit as a human determined by the world, being pulled up to an existence of a different level. Unlike when I cast it myself, his original ability controlled gently never hurt me. Eventually, a tremendous amount of Magic Element, which would be hundreds of times the original capacity, filled my whole body.

It's like not my body. Feels light like a feather. Overflowing with unbelievable power.

"Well then, I'm counting on you." Saying only that, Lenks held his hand over the sky and began to concentrate his consciousness. The moon, which had stopped moving, begins to leave the surface gradually. Making up my mind, I stepped forward. Confront Will. He made a face as if saying it was unexpected.

"Hoh. Do you intend to stand against me? Yu."

"Yeah."

"It seems you gained some power, but you don't think you can manage with that level, do you?"

"I don't particularly think so. Still, I can't afford to lose only to you." He is here strictly with the intention of killing time or playing. Maybe that's not the case, but it's something I don't know now. Anyway. If he had felt like it earlier, the world would have disappeared long ago. It's frustrating and vexing, but that's the reality. Everything depends on his mood. But no matter what, if I lose here, the world ends. I won't let that happen. To protect everyone. I fight.

No matter how strong or scary the opponent is, I can't give up. Even if it's that Will. —" Watashi" is here too. I'll overcome it right now. The fear planted by him. Right now. I will overcome myself who kept running away from him! Will's eyes looking at me burning with fighting spirit seemed to harbor a light of interest just a little.

"Interesting. If you can hit me squarely even with one shot, I might give you the win."

"It's a promise."

"Fine." 『Let's fight together. 』 『Yeah. 』"Here I go." When I took a stance, Will also took a stance with a fearless smile.

"Come. I'll make you realize the overwhelming difference in power."
