1520 – Extra Chapter: Isis Episode ~ ~ Present ② ~ ~

This is a story occurring between the Six Kings Festival and God Realm War.

The library in Isis-sans castle is truly enormous. I had visited the Royal Library of the Symphonia Kingdom before, but there are probably far more books here than even that place.

When I think that Isis-san has read all the books here, it makes me painfully aware of the length of time she has spent in the library.

[Kaito Whats wrong?]

[Ahh, no, I just hadnt thought the place would be this vast from the outside]

[I had expanded the space with Space-Time Magic.]

[I hear those a lot. Thats how they do things in Kuros place, and Alice also said that her workshop and other rooms are expanded.]

[Unnn Because space-related Barrier Magic like Space Isolation Barrier has been developed with a stable magic formula making them easy to use.]

[I see]

Though she says theyre easy to use, this is something only for people of Isis-sans level. In reality, Space-Time Magic is quite difficult, and large-scale Space Isolation Barriers are said to be some of the most advanced magic, rivaling even top-tier magic.

Thinking about it carefully, even Teleportation Magic, which is a classic example of difficult magic, seems to have properties similar to Space-Time magic, and that kind of magic would probably be generally difficult.

[Isis-san, those books are?]

[Ahh these are my recommendations for Kaito to read too.]

[I see, thank you. The books Isis-san recommended to me are all very interesting. so Im looking forward to reading them.]

[If Kaito says that Im also happy.]

Isis-san looked happy as she held several books with a smile.

Since Im staying at Isis-sans house today, spending leisurely time and chatting about trivial things with her while reading a book is also nice but since Im together with Isis-san, I felt like its a bit of a waste to spend my time with her just reading books. What a dilemma.

While I was thinking about this, Isis-san muttered with a somewhat nostalgic expression on her face.

[When I was reading books here all by myself it felt lonely Even though the contents of the book are interesting it was kind of cold and always felt empty.. after I finished reading it.]

[Isis-san.]

[But thanks to those times just like this I can now recommend my favorite books to Kaito. Im happy to know that those times werent in vain.]

[Thats right. Im sure its not a waste. It may have been a lonely and difficult time for Isis-san, but wouldnt it be possible that they could become an opportunity that will be useful for you in the future? Look, back at the Six Kings Festival, it was already alright for you to get close to people to about 3 meters, so if that range narrows in the future, it might be possible to have conversations with a variety of people more easily.]

[You think so? Would such a day come?]

When we went around the festival together during the Six Kings Festival, even though the people seemed somewhat intimidated towards Isis-san while looking at us from a distance, I didnt feel fear caused by her magic power of death from them.

The happier Isis is, the weaker the fear her magic power of death exerts towards those around her, so if I can make Isis-san happier in the future, I think its not impossible to shorten that 3m distance even more.

[After all, look, think about it. Its only been half a year since Isis-san and I got to know each other, and it has become okay for people around to get close to you to some extent. This is definitely great progress. Well, I dont know much about magic, so I dont know the ropes for controlling the magic power of death but I intend to make Isis-san even happier from now on, so as a side effect, wouldnt that matter turn out for the better?]

[Kaito~~]

Yes, my purpose isnt just to alleviate her magic power of death, but to make Isis-san happier. I would be happier if, as an added bonus, the range of people with whom Isis-san can interact expanded, and I hope that will happen.

Perhaps one day, Isis-san will have subordinates of her own, and many people will come to live in this castle.

When I told her my thoughts, Isis-sans eyes moistened and levitating the book she was holding on the side, she leaped towards me.

[Ye. I love you too, Isis-san.]

[Im happy With Kaito here, Im sure things will be alright However It isnt just Kaito making me happy I also want to make Kaito happy errr thats why]

[Youre right. One making the other happy would just be a one-way street, so lets be happy together.]

[Ahh Unnn!]

Isis-sans face beamed with a smile at my words, and her expression was so beautiful that it was dazzling. Her beauty now doesnt seem to just be ephemeral, as I felt budding strength held within it.

Not just receiving, but her giving such herself, isnt that proof that Isis-sans heart is getting stronger? In any case, as I reaffirmed my desire to support Isis-san as her lover, I felt guided by her expectant gaze, so I leaned in and kissed her lips.

Serious-senpai : [Guhaak!? A sudden sugar ruuuuuuuush D*mn it, just when things are getting serious, Kaito just appears for a little bit and S- So this is the protagonists sugar power huh]
