Chapter 113: What Grace Wayne Endures (2)

"That side has things you have to do, right? Then leave this degree to me. What, think of it as thanks for letting me have a rare experience."

Looking at that figure laughing hoho she thinks he is a type of man not seen in Calmate.

Over there too there were men who trained their bodies, but they were somehow lacking in confidence. That is also natural. No matter how much they train their bodies men cannot match woman warriors. Precisely because they understand that they seemed somehow hesitant toward Grace.

Of course that is Calmate’s principle, but even so if asked whether Earth men are sturdy she tilts her head.

But how about him.

A tight body and presence-filled bearing.

In the meaning of having confidence Remora combatants are the same. But.

’No! If it is one who saves, they are here...!’

The courage of jumping in with only his body into a battlefield where flame raged. That radiance Grace saw for the first time since being born.

There will be those who call it reckless courage. Those who laugh sagely calling it foolish, also. Those are by no means off-the-mark slander. Jumping into a fight between Sacred and Monster Villain with a body that has no magical power is reckless courage, foolish, and a suicide act.

But Grace truly thought that way of being preferable.

When she recalls that radiance her heartbeat becomes faintly faster. Grace is convinced of that as elevation from being able to meet someone with a straight aspiration, and smiles at Niekawa.

Maybe because that smile was filled with affection, Niekawa seeped slight confusion on his expression.

"Mu... Wayne-senpai, have I met you somewhere?"

"No, I only know of my own accord, Kazuki. I heard the story of going out alone before a Sacred to save a Vigilante."

"...Photos should not have been taken in that flame, but you cannot put a door on people’s mouths."

Ara? She tilts her head.

Grace intended to praise honestly, but his expression is far from delight.

"Being spoken of like narrating a hero is troubling. At that time my body moved suddenly. I must save, I thought that. Thoughtless too. As a result my action was correct, and Atel Octo and Sacred Knight also seem to have reconciled. I will think that fact happily."

But that is only a result argument, Niekawa speaks.

That at that time he jumped out as emotion dictated and stood in Sacred Knight’s way as passion dictated cannot be denied as an action that did not think of after.

"But you acted thinking it was correct, right?"

At his words Grace does not change her expression but inwardly mu.

Because she is convinced that was without mistake a correct deed, an action filled with light. Even the person himself speaking in a way that slights it is not a good feeling.

"Acting thinking it is correct is not necessarily correct. If a transcendent existence guarantees correctness the story is different, but otherwise it is something that seeks answers and wanders lost."

The most correct "light" person Grace met on Earth was the boy named Niekawa Kazuki.

She trusts Atel Octo, but if asked whether he is "light" she tilts her head at his personality, so relatively and absolutely her favor toward Niekawa is high.

Can such a person wander this much.

If this side were also filled with magical power of light it would be good, she strongly thinks inside.

Then people like this would possess strong power and wield power correctly.

As I thought this world is bad at, she inwardly sighs.

"But surely that is fine, surely."

He muttered an impression truly opposite to herself and laughed hoho, and she harbors a question toward the boy.

"If a god-like existence guarantees correctness and blesses, people can surely only become that way. Then seeking light and wandering struggling is also a blessing."

"...Honestly I do not understand well. If you can become a correct existence I do not think that is a bad thing."

"A living thing’s power is diversity, Wayne-senpai. However wonderful, however correct, if they can only become that way that living thing has a defect."

She knows that logic.

If they can only do one kind of evolution, with only one disease that race could be wiped out.

But is that logic also applied to human values.

Grace does not know. But she thinks she will engrave it in her heart.

Whether this is correct or wrong she cannot judge now... but it is the words of the person who stopped her at that time. There should surely be value in engraving it in her chest.

Therefore even if she cannot fully understand those values, to respect him she smiles.

"N..."

The instant she placed it.

At the existence of the water balloon inside her body that started asserting itself in her lower abdomen, her expression tightened.

"Mu, what is it?"

"N-no. It is nothing."

She recalls that Monster Villain’s ability.

Urge-to-urinate promotion ability.

Then.

She herself who stepped into a place where its remnants remain is also receiving that influence.

While faintly dripping sweat at the sensation of water being poured toku-toku into the water balloon, Grace had no impatience.

(Fufu, you think I did not put that into calculation?)

From the instant she noticed the Monster Villain’s ability is that, she has been acting with leeway in case of emergency.

She has already confirmed on the timetable that this train will stop at the destination in not even several more minutes.

Leaving early is also that. Certainly there is no lie in the words she said to Reiko, but she has extra time so she can get off at a midway station if she cannot endure no matter what.

Therefore no matter how much liquid is poured into the water balloon, no problem. She can go to the station toilet. Even if that is no good she can borrow a toilet at a shop on the way to the hotel.

(Yes, yes, there is nothing to panic about.)

In that instant the train stopped gatari.

Has it already arrived at the station, she started to float her hips, then put on a suspicious expression.

The train is stopped in a place with nothing. Strange. Since coming to this world she has ridden trains several times, but this kind of thing has not happened.

As if answering the question Grace harbors inside, the in-car announcement rings. They confirmed on video the figure of a boy who became a Monster Villain crossing the tracks.

They could also confirm the tracks are wet with mucus, so they will perform safety confirmation in case of emergency.

For a while they will remain here.

"...Eh?"

Remain?

Even though it is not a station?

The doors are not open and we cannot go outside?

Or rather that mucus has no attack ability so there is no meaning in that kind of inspection.

But it is difficult for Earth humans to know Monster Villain abilities.
