Chapter 127


CHAPTER 127 – CONFESSION



I let Iris sleep in that place .


She collapsed through exhaustion, but she doesn’t have any injuriesーーI mean, I won’t let her have any, and she is breathing fine as well .


I thought that she would recover after resting for a while .


「Lent me your strength, Eleanor」


『Yareyare, huh』


『Hikari will help too』


Eleanor who seemed to say it can’t be helped, and Hikari who really want to help .


I placed my hand on the hilts of the mother and daughter Demon Swords while they’re in their sheathes .


With a strong and clear image, I released an aura .


It’s an aura that is a little different to up until now .


That aura is darker than black, and even more terrifying . An aura that reminisces everything sinister and disastrous .


I raised that auraーーspread it around, avoiding only Iris who is lying down .


It’s a silent message .


It’s a threat that says I shall make those who approach, experience something more terrifying than death .


Though it is alright to just kill the monsters when they appear .


If I get serious, I can chop those Akephaloses into two with their shields without even making a sound .


I can do it, but there is still a certain chance that I might fail .


Like the possibility that I might make a sound, or the possibility of making a shockwave .


To be sure that I can let Iris rest, I thought that the best way is to make a threat .


It became silent .


That silence was like that of midnight when even the trees and grasses sleep .


And after watching Iris for a while, she woke up .


「……Kakeru?」


「You woke up?」


「……」


Iris saw the aura that I am releasing .


「……thank you」


The wise her understood its meaning from the circumstances .


「Don’t mind it . Have you rested well?」


「Yeah . I’ve recovered pretty much」


「Good then」


I retracted the aura .


The surroundings returned to normal, and started to make cave-like sounds .


Suddenly, I noticed that Iris is staring at me .


She is staring straight at me with teary, hot eyes .


「What happened?」


「I am……a useless woman」


「What is it suddenly?」


「I fought with the Akephalos . It felt good . I was able to fight for Kakeru’s sake, and even that, with all of my strength……I fought only for Kakeru . That felt very fulfillingーーand really good」


「Isn’t that great?」


I also know about the excitement and heightened feelings from a fight .


I also know about the pleasure of embracing woman after thatーーbut that is a different topic .


That’s why, I said that, butーーIris slowly shook her head .


「It tasted like sweet honeyーーthat, is addictive . I thought that once I’ve tasted that, I won’t get satisfied by anything else . I thought I would throw away everything, my country, my status, everything . I thought that, I wanted to throw away everything else, and fight only for you . As a simple woman, and only yours……that’s, what I thought」


Iris made a desperate face, one that might cry anytime .


「Elder sister is amazing Even though she became Kakeru’s woman, she’s able to preserve herself, and was able to act as one of Teresia’s Twin Flowers . She’s an amazing person, that I cannot beat at all」


Finally, tears started to drop from her eyes .


「But compared to that……I’m a useless woman」


『She looks very conflicted . A princess and a simple woman, as a public person and as she is in private . She’s too serious』


That’s what makes Iris lovely .


I stared at Iris and said .


「You’re saying it difficultly, but in short, you want to be my woman, right?」


「That is……that’s true」


Iris made a troubled face .


She had a face saying that it’s not wrong, but she can’t nod honestly .


『You summarized it too much』


“Kukuku”, I heard a pleasant laugh in the back of my head .


「What, was I wrong?」


「You’re not, but……」


「Then, isn’t it fine?」


「But……I do not befit Kakeru if I’m like that」


「Ha?」


「There are so many good women around Kakeru . Women who are not inferior compared elder sister . But compared to them, someone like meーーmugu!」


I stopped Iris’s wordsーーwith a kiss .


I made her close that mouth of hers that says so many things with my lips, and stopped her saying anything more .


At first, she was surprised and resisted .


However, I embraced her tightly so that she cannot escape .


I stole her lips for almost a minuteーーand to punish this obstinate person, I gave her plenty of kisses .


I then said to Iris after releasing her .


「Iris」


「W-What?」


「I’m the one who decides whether or not you are befitting of me . It’s my decision whether or not you are going to be my woman . Got it?」


「Ah……un」


「And adding to that, if you think that you do not befit me, rely on me」


「Eh?」


「Tell me how you will suit me . I’ll grant that」


「I can’t ask something like thatーー」


「I’ll do something about it」


I stopped her words halfway .


Iris’s expression changed so much it was interesting .


She got surprised, flushed her cheeks, and calmed down .


「Kakeru’s words are amazing . They’re strong and reliably, it’s as if, they can solve anything」


「It’s not ‘as if’ . I’ll solve anything, I will」


「That’s true . If it’s Kakeru, he can do anything」


Iris let out a smile .


It’s not a negative smile that one shows when they give up or self-deprecate .


It’s a positive, calm, and strong smile that really look good on her .


「There was something wrong with me, sorry」


「Hmm?」


「Thinking about it carefully, I didn’t need to worry about it so much . Fighting only for Kakeru and leading the masses as one of Teresia’s Twin Flowers without forgetting my status . I only need to do both」


『The idiot infected her huh, she’s slightly contradictingーーow!』


I stopped the unnecessary retort with a flick of a finger .


Something like contradictions or being idiotic, that doesn’t matter .


There is only one thing important .


That is, Iris looks better as a woman compared to the Iris before .


That’s all .


「Iris」


「Yes」


「I want to take you」


「I also want to be taken by Kakeru」


「Immediately」


「Immediately」


「Let’s go destroy Qushifos」


「Yeah!」


Iris strongly nodded .


She’s an unbelievably, good woman .
