Shinka no Mi

Ole - - Altria Grem, was perplexed.

One thing yesterday - ever since my curse was broken, I can't help but wonder about Makoto.

Yet like this morning, when I see Makoto, it's kind of like this in the back of my chest... being attacked by such cuts that it tightens cum.

Plus, it's supposed to be painful, but it's kind of comfortable.

But that was my first experience, and that's why I was confused.

What is the identity of this uncut?

Besides, even though I've only spent a little time, watching Seiichi's interaction with Salia, which I've become accustomed to seeing, I kind of... moaned and something like a little frustration recruited me.

But more than that, why, it was so sad.

So even when I saw Makoto, I left to run away immediately.

... I want to know who this feeling is.

But once I know who it is, I kind of don't think I can go back.

Important, you could lose something. I don't feel that way.

That's... very scary.

"Me... what the hell happened...?

There was no one to ask, it was when I squirmed like I was talking to myself like that.

"Then why don't I give you a consultation?

"Huh?"

"Good day, Altria"

It was Adriana, who was my client at the time, who spoke to me about the request I received with Makoto.

I happened to meet in the city, and I was invited straight to Mr. Adriana's house, where I was to be consulted.

"... I'm kind of crazy"

"What's wrong with you?

"Do you remember Makoto?

"Yeah, sure."

"Since yesterday, when I saw Makoto, it's kind of... behind my chest... it's hard to put into words, but it's painful, but I'm kind of happy, warm... that's how I feel"

"Hmm."

Mr. Adriana takes a sip of tea, listening to me.

"That's not all, and, uh... Makoto, I think she's probably... but there's a very pretty girl... who looks like she's having fun talking to that girl or something, and I kind of... I just said, the back of her chest is moaning"

"I see..."

When Adriana finishes listening to me, she sips a cup of tea again.

Is something wrong with me, after all? Like the side effects of the curse being broken?

Mr. Adriana took a breather at me, feeling anxious, and assured me.

"That's love. It's also my first sweet and sour love everywhere"

"Ha!? ko, love!?"

Unexpectedly, I turned my voice upside down and said so.

To confused me, Mr. Adriana continues.

"That's right. Altria... you're in love."

"~ ~ ~ ~!!"

I was told so clearly that the more fire was going to come out of my face, the brighter I turned red.

This is me... love, because...?

"Oh, it can't be! This is me!? Never!

For some reason, I desperately denied it.

But even such a denial, Mr. Adriana flushed lightly.

"But you can't think of anything else, can you? Besides, even Altria's not a very attractive girl. There's nothing wrong with one or two of them. Instead, something that I've never been in love with."

"Oh, no -"

"Well, what's the ring that fits in that left hand pharmacopoeia?

"Huh!"

I touched the ring with my hand, reflexively embedded from Makoto.

My left hand pharmacopoeia contains a ring embedded with beautiful purple gems.

And the fact that a man puts a ring in a woman's left hand pharmacopoeia means -.

"An Eternal Pledge of Love... That's how common sense is it, isn't it?

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~!"

As she peered into my heart, Adriana poked at me with words.

Make your face bright red to the fullest and endure unspoken embarrassment.

Then Mr. Adriana went on without worrying about me like that.

"Thanks to the ring that Makichi gave you, you broke Altria's curse, didn't you?

"... Yes"

"Makichi is probably from an eastern country, and you may not know the common sense of this continent. If you think about it, maybe that ring doesn't mean anything to you, either?

……

My mind is crazy.

If it's true, that should do it.

Makoto has Salia.

And if you send me a ring, you're dishonest. [M]

So I don't have to think deeply either.

It just so happens that where this ring fitted perfectly was the left hand pharmacopoeia.

That's good, isn't it?

... and yet... but why are you sad? Do you miss me?

If it doesn't make any deep sense, my curse just broke... isn't it enough?

I don't even know my heart.

How can you be so uncut...

I don't know why...

Before I knew it, I had tears in my eyes.

As I leaned silently, Mr. Adriana spoke gently.

"Altria. What if I admit it already?

……

"You like Makichi."

――――

Slowly turn your eyes, filled with tears, to Mr. Adriana.

I can't deceive you anymore.

... Did I like Makoto?

The moment I admitted it, I burst into tears.

That's it, no one took me seriously.

The guild guys and everyone in the city... cared about me, but it was the first time Makoto and I had gotten into a big deal and still treated me the same.

Sincerely, when I was told I needed it, I was just like everyone else, and when Seiichi told me she liked me, I was really happy.

When I was held from behind so I could be gentle and relieved...... my heart warmed.

Oh well... me - I was in love.

I finally realized it, and Adriana smiled gently and embraced me.

"I'll tell you one thing, clumsy Altria. It's nothing strange to see a boy you like talking to another girl and moaning her?

"... yes, is it...?

"That's right. It's, jealousy. You can't go too far jealous, but you just need a little bit. It's Altria's first love, isn't it? I know it's confusing, but it's very obvious."

"... yeah"

"Besides, Makichi has a girlfriend, which is fine. A man's worth is tested, but bigamy is basically normal on every continent, isn't it? If you don't like it, you just have to be Seiichi's best friend."

"... You can't do that. Me in the first place...... you're not cute at all, you have this tone, you look rough. I don't think Makoto likes this woman..."

Seriously speaking so, Mr. Adriana laughed bitterly.

"Already, Altria, be more confident in yourself. Next time you're my friend and I'm familiar with romance, I'll introduce you, but if Altria doesn't understand her charm first, nothing's gonna start, okay? Besides, Makichi, do you think he's the kind of person who cares about that?

……

I shook my head silently to the side.

He's not the kind of guy who cares about that.

Otherwise, when the Metastatic Magic Team appears and I'm about to be flown, I won't reach out and try to help.

He treats me seriously.

[Disaster] He took me for it.

"... Me, can I like it...?

"Yes."

"... it's annoying, huh...?

"Not at all. Instead, you should be happy."

"... well..."

I'm glad I like people, too.

I don't have to be tied to disaster anymore...

- When I did, I could take a step.

At that moment, I'm struck by a different feeling than I just had.

That was a very positive emotion, unlike the one I had just had.

"... Mr. Adriana. Me, how can I get Makoto to turn around...?

"Huh?"

"Until just now, it was painful, it didn't hang up... it was so hard, and now I'm so happy with that. I've never felt this way before."

……

"So... I want to hit my thoughts, Makoto. I lack the charm of being such a woman... but I still want Makoto to like me as much as I like Makoto"

"Altria..."

"That's why, Mr. Adriana. Um... I'm new to love and stuff and I'm not sure, so can you tell me a lot about it? What do I do..."

Adriana, who listened to my serious thoughts, says with a smile once she nods.

"Leave it to me! Perfect, I'll show you how to shoot Makichi!

After such a reliable remark, I was taught a lot by Mr. Adriana.

◆ ◇ ◆

"- It happened."

"Huh. Adventurers are tough, too."

Me, Seiichi Shu, was having a light public conversation at "Coffee Shop Acolliente" opened by Mr. Noard.

Just now, we just talked about me and Mr. Altria being suddenly flown into a weird labyrinth.

"Well, I was wondering one thing, what happened to that" disaster "lady?

Because I even told you that the curse was broken, and that's what Mr. Lanze asks.

"That's right...... I'm not sure why, but it's avoided"

"Huh? Why? Makoto broke the curse, didn't he?

"Yes it is... the... strange thing to ask, the act of a man putting a ring in a woman's left hand pharmacopoeia... does this make any sense?

"Ah? Well... so to speak, Seiichi was not from this continent, but from the eastern country? I can't do that without knowing... Hmm? Wait a minute. Talking like that..."

"... as you can guess. An item to break the curse happened to be a ring, and I was so distracted, I stuck it in my left hand pharmacopoeia."

"You're lying!?"

To my confession, I kept my eyes open not only to Mr. Lanze, but even to Mr. Noard.

What should I do? I only have a bad feeling.

"Er... was that a bad idea?

"You're not in a bad place..."

Mr. Noard taught me politely while Mr. Lanze was stunned.

"... Makichi. In this continent, it is primarily men who pledge eternal love to fit their left hand finger when they give a ring to a woman."

"Bufoa!?"

I didn't know what to expect, I was fucked!

Unexpectedly blows up and tells me in a hurry that Mr. Lanze is half-eyed.

"... I think it's a lot too late, I... I've never made that mistake, even though I've lived longer than you."

"... I didn't expect that either."

"And that's such an important oath, isn't it? That was a lie - or a mistake - or whatever. They're definitely not gonna kill you."

"Ugh!"

"That's all, for a woman, the act is important. I don't know about your country, but it's the best on this continent."

"... right. From what I've heard, Makichi may have acted a little too carelessly."

"Ha!?"

Words now, gussy on my chest! It's coming! Gussa!

But... right.

No matter how little I didn't feel about it, I definitely did what I admired about women. It's a mistake, it can't be done with.

Besides, I don't want to imitate such dishonesty either.

But then...

"What am I supposed to do..."

Unexpectedly hold your head on the spot.

In the first place, there's no way I can match Mr. Altria! Even Salia doesn't think I'm a match!

Then Mr. Lanze said with a laugh.

"I don't care what you do, you can get married."

"Ha!? Ke, Marriage!?"

"Am I surprised? Either way, I swore an eternal love. I guess we'll just have to get married."

"Well, yes... I don't have any more..."

Yes, I already have an important woman named Salia.... a gorilla though.

Seeing such a reaction, Mr. Noard asks quietly.

"… Makichi said that you already have a woman in mind"

"... yeah, well"

"Dude, are you serious?!? You're hot for dressing suspiciously"

"Suspicious outfit..."

Well, a man with a hood and no face in sight would be suspicious. I'm used to it.

"Steady... enough with the woman you like? Then I guess I should marry both of you, including that woman."

"Ha!? With you two!?"

I accidentally raised my voice to Mr. Lanze's tongue of demo remarks.

"Did I say something crazy?

"No, you're crazy enough! Marriage is usually only possible with one person, right?!?"

When I told him that in a voice that was also close to screaming, both Mr. Lanze and Mr. Noard looked strange for a moment, but immediately gave a convincing look.

"Maybe the countries of the east are different?

"To?"

"No, because this continent is allowed basic bigamy. I thought it was not only on this continent, but also on other continents..."

What do you mean, you're allowed to get married?

Surprised to see me, they ended up convinced.

"Looks different when it's like that."

"... well, even if bigamy is indeed permitted, it is rare for people other than royalty and nobility to do so"

They already mean I'm from the east country, and I'm not allowed to get bigamous. Why.

Well, so far, that's not inconvenient, and I hope so.

More than that, Mr. Altria first.

Really, what can I do......

Holding his head, desperately worried, tea was served in front of him.

If you look up, Mr. Noard is smiling gently.

"… it is a tea made from Altel leaves that has a relaxing effect"

"Huh? I didn't ask for anything..."

"... with my treat. And for one thing, let me advise you as an elderly person."

"... Never, ever return an ambiguous answer. I think it's okay, but Makichi's actions are that heavy. So do you accept it or apologize in good faith... make a good decision about it"

……

... Right.

The vague answer is unacceptable. Before that, I won't allow it.

Even though I didn't know, it obscures that. Oh, my God, that sucks.

... before I know it, I think it sucks at a time when I'm doing something like two strands.

"... ok. I'm going to tell him clearly with my own mouth."

"... Really?"

Mr. Noard asked for my answer and smiled satisfactorily.

Because of this, when I tried the tea served, I kind of lost the extra strength of my body and felt so much better.

I liked the flavor because of its sweetness.

When I finish all my drinks, I think of time.

Speaking of which, we've been talking for quite some time, but maybe it's time to go home.

That's what I thought. I thank Mr. Noard and get up.

"It was a pleasure. Tea was delicious."

"... thank you. Looking forward to seeing you again."

"Right. We'll talk when we see each other again."

That's what Mr. Lanze said with a smile.

"Yes, absolutely!

That was a good shop. Let's come again.

With that determination in mind, I left the store.

◆ ◇ ◆

"Phew... you're a youth"

That's what Lanze muttered after Makoto left the store.

To Lanze like that, Noard says quietly.

"... Lanze. Don't you have to go home?

"Uh... I'll be home in a minute. When you get picked up."

To Lanze's line, Noard sighs.

"... even though how much I have, isn't it too defenseless to come this far alone?

"Don't worry. I'm fine because I'm not alone. It has a proper Lewis on it."

"... ha. I'm sorry about Lewis, who goes with me every time."

"That's no choice. That's what he does."

"... I think it would be a little easier if you stopped the culprit, you, from coming here."

"Your rice tastes bad!

"... that's a clear transfer of responsibility"

Noard looking sighing but not sloppy.

The coffee shop Acolliente had a soothing atmosphere everywhere.

◆ ◇ ◆

"It's evening..."

Out of the coffee shop Acolliente I saw the orange-dyed sky at some point and squealed so.

"I don't think I can go buy a horse today..."

Well, it's not a rush, and I hope it's tomorrow.

"Hmmm...... shall we go home like this?

I don't know if Salia's home.

Plus... there's something about Altria.

"... really, no, me"

I thought I made up my mind, but when I try to tell you the facts, I get scared.

In this world, what I did was more important than Earth.

"... I know you can't postpone it..."

Whimpering like that, I was already headed somewhere.

It's the orphanage where Salia headed.

... I'm really sorry, and you suck, me.

I was anxious to be alone, and I was looking for nature and Salia.

Such a pitiful, shitty self, I feel like killing myself.

I headed to the orphanage feeling more and more comfortable.

Eventually, I saw a church, with an orphanage.

"... we're here"

I feel like I was sinking, even more.

It was when I tried to get inside the church, in that mood.

"- Makoto"

!!!!

I turned around amazingly fast myself.

"... Altria."

Standing there was someone I should tell the truth about... Mr. Altria.

……

……

Me and Mr. Altria, we'll face each other silently.

There's just a sunset behind Mr. Altria, and I don't know his expression.

There are no shadows of people around, just me and Mr. Altria.

Silent time lasts for a while.

... Mr. Altria is right in front of you.

Now is not the time to tell him that the ring thing is a misunderstanding.

You may not forgive me, but you're apologizing, aren't you?

Well, considering this might end your relationship with Mr. Altria... I'm scared. Awesome scary.

But still... I prefer to shut up or properly deceive... more.

So, tell me, me. Open your mouth.

Why are you so scared?

Say, say, say, say...!

"Ah... Mr. Altria! The... ring -"

――――

It was the moment when I finally shook my courage and thought I could spin the word out.

My mouth was blocked with something soft and I couldn't speak beyond it.

"Huh!?"

……

At close range of my face is Mr. Altria's face, who meditated his eyes full of strength.

And my lips and Mr. Altria's lips... overlap.

Me... what are you doing now?

Why are my lips overlapping those of Mr. Altria?

This is... a kiss... right?

…………

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!?"

I understood the situation, and my face suddenly got hot.

Me... me... altria and I are kissing...!?

Now that I've done the situation analysis, I can only turn my face bright red.

Still, Mr. Altria, fine, gently...... and continued to kiss a little clumsy.

Now I'm in a position to take Mr. Altria from the front.

Plus, the shock of receiving Mr. Altria took off the hood that was hiding my face.

After a long kiss, Mr. Altria lays down his face.

"... don't say anything further."

"Huh?"

"... I know. Makichi felt that way and gave me the ring..."

That... I mean, I didn't give it to you to pledge my eternal love with Mr. Altria.

"Well, then..."

"But it doesn't matter"

My words were blocked by Mr. Altria's words in a clear tone.

And Mr. Altria nods his face to my chest.

"It doesn't matter...! Because... you're starting to like me...!

Mr. Altria screams in my chest.

"For the first time, what is this feeling! Well, then, I know Makoto has Salia. She's so cute, even from me."

……

"But... but I'm starting to like it too! Just look at you, my chest hurts!

"Mr. Altria......"

"Not me... no? Shouldn't I be next to Makoto?

"I don't...!

"You don't have a choice. Because I like you! It's not feminine, it's cute. I may not be attractive at all. Still, I... Makichi. I like you..."

Mr. Altria started to cry quietly with my chest when he ran out of it.

... What am I supposed to do?

I already have Salia.

Though bigamy is allowed, I'm an Earthling.

of the planet... that too, Japanese ethics haunts me.

I really don't feel sorry for you to death.

Mr. Altria is important.

But can I take care of it as a heterosexual... I don't know.

Damn! No matter how strong I get, not one of my stats at a time like this helps.

I'll have to choose.

"... I...!"

"Accept him? Makoto"

!?

Suddenly voiced, both me and Mr. Altria are surprised.

Turning his gaze in the direction of his voice... Salia was there, standing.

"Sarya! Eh, this is...!

"It's okay. I know."

I feel like your father found out about the affair, me.

"Makichi, about Mr. Altria, accept him?

"So, but... so you're good?

I suck, but I want to take care of Mr. Altria as a heterosexual.

But I already have Salia.

I couldn't see Mr. Altria that way more than Salia did.

But Sarya, with a slightly lonely grin, shook her head vertically.

"Yeah. Of course, I miss you not being able to keep Makichi to yourself, huh? But I don't think I can monopolize Makoto's charm by myself."

"Salia......"

"And? Makichi. Nature and meth come to strong males. It's a natural dish."

Oh, a male...

I don't particularly wonder if Salia is a gorilla, but I don't know anything about her, Mr. Altria, twisting her neck.

"So, Makoto. You want me to accept Mr. Altria properly? Me too, because I love Mr. Altria!

"Salia......"

Mr. Altria stares at Salia in a way she is thrilled.

"Salia...... is that okay?

"Yeah!"

Unlike earlier, he had a full grin and Salia affirmed with clarity.

Oh, shit.

Not cool, me.

To Salia...... I need a girl to push my back, can't I make one of those decisions?

I was about to fall into self-loathing, but soon I shake my head and switch my mind.

Return your gaze to Mr. Altria held in my chest.

Then Mr. Altria, who noticed my gaze, stared back at me too.

For a moment, my eyes would have been opened because I'd never seen my face before.

Cut long golden eyes, now wet in tears, looked up at me anxiously.

"Mr. Altria......"

"... Al"

"Huh?"

"... about me, call me Al. That's my nickname, used by really close people... After that, there was no salutation!

I'll tell you that in embarrassment Mr. Altria... No, Al, I laughed bitterly.

"Okay, Al."

"... yeah"

Cheeks uplifted, and Al stared at me with uplift.

On Al's cheek like that, nature and reach out.

Usually I can't act like this.

But now, for some reason, I can do it naturally, without worrying about that at all.

... I'll think about it later.

Most importantly, it's Al...

"Me too, about Al. - I like him."

That's what I told him, and now he's kissing Al nice.

I was distracted earlier and didn't notice at all......

The kiss with Al tastes like Mr. Noard's brewed tea...... altel.

It was a very sweet, sweet kiss.

Slowly, release the overlapping lips.

"Al. It's me who's impudent and very unreliable... but still, I'll try not to make you regret liking me"

"... yeah"

"Because I'll take care of it"

"... yeah!

Declaring so clearly, I gently embraced Al.

"Now Al's with me!

From behind me, Salia hugs me and Al.

Really... to Sarya, you're an enemy.

In front of a church stained with sunset, church bells rang all over the city, as if to bless the three of us.
