Changed Eyeglasses-kun to Megane-kun since I think it sounds better.

I’ll use it from now on.

Chapter 107 Reconciliation

After the mock battle, I healed Haru’s broken arms and Touko’s limbs and detoxified the deadly poison that had accumulated in Touko’s body. The treatment itself was over quickly, and after they were completely healed, both of them jumped up and down and started stretching for a cool-down on the spot. You guys never get tired, huh?

「Haruna, you are amazing after all! Like, so amazing!」

「I was also surprised by your strength, Touko-chan! Like, so surprised!」

Where did the murderous atmosphere a moment ago fly away? The two shook hands firmly after the match. I know they want to praise each other, but unfortunately, their vocabulary is so poor that they can only speak the same words since a while ago. Even so, their passionate feelings of each other seemed to be conveyed, and the scene was dazzling for this old man. They would continue to compete with each other as good rivals in the future. Yeah, it’s easy to imagine.

「Yo, I’m sorry! I lost!」

「I-It’s okay. T-Touko-san, welcome back…」

「 It looks like you were poisoned, but is your body okay? Also, your hands and feet …」

「Y-You are not going to bite, right? Your reason has returned, right!?」

However, the intense game seemed to be enough to scare off the uneven trio who saw it, especially for Megane-kun, who was so wary of her. The way he was distraught was as if he had encountered a bear in the mountains.

「Touko-san. Just like what happened when we got transferred to this world, I think it’s better not to rely too much on that skill, you know? Also, you are more or less a girl…」

「Hm? It’s not that I feel embarrassed or anything. It makes me stronger and it feels good.」

「No, it’s pretty intense for a third party, you know? I mean, you’re in front of Deris-san. You will become more aggressive and the way you speak will become bad, right?」

「I-Is that so? Well, I guess I’ll try to refrain from using it…」

With Fuchi’s words, Touko somehow became meek. Wait, the words just now――

「――Hey, Touko.」

「W-What is it, Deris-danna?」

When I talked to Touko, she is flustered and seems to be hiding something. To be precise, her face is bright red. Her nature is the type who can’t tell lies, huh.

「You couldn’t control Berserk’s power when you just got transferred, right?」

「…Eh? Y-Yeah, that’s right. You sure understand it, huh? I couldn’t switch it on and off as well as I do now, and it caused a lot of trouble for my classmates. Well, that’s also the reason I’m doing my best.」

「Ahh, so it was like that.」

I see. That makes sense.

「Ah? What?」

「I’ve been observing your personality, and I’ve been wondering why someone so straightforward and so stupidly honest like you would join the others and kicked Haru out on the first day you got to this word. Fuchi said it earlier, right? That you become more aggressive and your mouth becomes bad in that state. The power was switched on for some reason, but you couldn’t control it and lost your reason―― and you hit Haru because of that, right?」

「………」

Touko unusually became silent. It seems that she doesn’t know what to do that I hit the mark. She really can’t tell lies, huh.

「Touko-chan, is that true?」

「No, it doesn’t change the fact that I was abusing you, Haruna. Anyway, it was my instinct that said so…」

No, it’s something different. Humans, everyone has one or two secrets. In my case, I can keep about three digits with composure, though. Well, that’s normal for humans. Even if you think about something, there are times when you shouldn’t say it. If the reason that is supposed to control it is lost and you spit out words with your instinct―― that’s very scary. If I imagine that it happened to me, I won’t even be able to sleep at night. I’m serious.

Haa…」

When I had such a terrifying imagination, Chinatsu, who was next to me, let out a deep sigh. Uh, it’s strange. I or Nell haven’t asked for something unreasonable yet.

「I owe you an apology too, Touko. I didn’t even think that you were in that state and I was one-sidedly hostile toward you. No, I even held prejudice even though I knew nothing. I’m sorry that I misunderstood you. I’m a failure as a class president that I look at my classmates with prejudice…」

「Chinatsu… No, you were right. In such a terrible atmosphere, you were the only one who stood up for Haruna. You’re a million times better than me.」

「But――」

「Yeah! Then, I guess we are friends now!」

「「Haruna?」」

Haru broke in between Chinatsu and Touko, connecting the arms of the two. Is it a sign of reconciliation with three people shaking hands? She intentionally swings them up and down powerfully.

「Are you okay with this, Haruna? I’m sure you’re the one who had the hardest time, right?」

「Why?」

「Why, you ask…」

「Touko-chan. I’ve said it many times, but I’m not sad or angry. In fact, I was happy to have the chance to become strong again from scratch. I trained, trained, and got stronger. If I can beat everyone up and surpass them, I will be satisfied. That’s all.」

「「Haruna…」」

It seems that she’s trying to settle it nicely, but I want to retort that her words are distorted in some places. However, the air of reconciliation doesn’t allow it. Yeah, I know. I’m an adult who can read the air. I’ll keep my mouth shut here. Also, while covering the mouths of Nell and Lily who can’t read the air.

「Fufaa! Fififofufifafafef! (Fuwaa! It’s Goshujin-sama’s smell!)」

「Fef! Faiffifu! (Hey! Why me too!?)」

Please don’t rampage. I will die.

「Haha! That’s right, I got knocked down pretty badly! Then, you should beat up Akira next! After all, his group’s been getting carried away lately!」

「Ah, you can say that again. It’s been a problem for me as well. Those who disturb public morals must be dealt with strongly. Discipline and moderation are the top priority!」

「Oh, we’re on the same page for the first time! But, Chinatsu, hearing public morals from you is not convincing, you know? Also, I’ve researched that you are a comrade! Damn you!」

「Ha?」

「Alright. Then, the next goal is to knock down Toue Akira! Let’s do our best~!」

「Ooh!」

「Eh? Wait, what do you mean by that just now!? Listen to meee!」

Haru and Touko shouted with determination and Chinatsu shouted with worry. Thus, as Therese’s escorts, we were able to successfully clear the new dungeon investigation, monster subjugation, and hero interception. And we all lived happily ever after.

「By the way, Therese has been quiet since a while ago, isn’t she?」

「She was too tired and fell asleep. Look.」

「Desuwaa….」

As part of the training, I decided to let Haru carry Therese on her back on the way home.
