Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - Chapter 69

Chapter 69: “A God Slayer, huh?” ⑤

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Kaya Minazuki and Mio returned with Natsuki’s school uniform jacket.

“―Natsuki Yura-sama, thank you so much for saving Mizuchi-sama… no, my husband. And for giving our family time, I don’t know how much we can thank you.”

“Yura-kun, thank you.”

Natsuki, with the Minazuki mother and daughter’s eyes turned red, received their thanks and accepted the school uniform.

“No, I’m sorry for meddling on my own accord. I hope we can build a good relationship from here on.”

“Of course,” Kaya nodded firmly. 

“We will never forget this debt of gratitude for as long as we live, no, as long as the Minazuki family exists. If there’s anything we can do, please let us know.”

“Ah, then, since it’s this moment, may I ask for a favor right away?”

“Of course.” 

“If someone starts prying into me because of this incident, can I leave it to you?”

“Yes. Whether it’s within the Minazuki family or outside, we promise to protect Natsuki-sama’s privacy.”

“Thank you.”

Actually, they must be curious about what Natsuki is. 

However, they are grateful for not pursuing it because he is a benefactor.

“Also, my mother is a civilian, so please keep this incident, including this, a secret.”

“Normally, we should apologize for putting her son in danger…”

“No, it wasn’t dangerous at all.”

They might think of it as parents, but there wasn’t any special danger, and he’d rather not involve his mother by mentioning unnecessary things.

(Especially since I come from a so-called ‘pure lineage,’ which is quite amusing. I mean, my mom is the same, right? I don’t want that to become public knowledge. According to Koume-chan, it’s not something humans can recognize just by looking at each other, but better safe than sorry.)

“I’d also appreciate it if you could properly include the psychics of the Minazuki family who were openly hostile towards me.”

“Please rest assured about that. After experiencing Yura-sama’s magical power, they are all in shock over the difference in strength.”

“That’s good to hear. I don’t want to cause unnecessary harm.”

“I, too, will keep a vigilant eye.”

“Thank you.”

Although not all worries were gone, Natsuki decided to trust in Kaya’s sincerity. Finally, Natsuki bowed with a wry smile.

“Um, I’m sorry for damaging your house and mountain!”

“No, you had informed us beforehand, so we have no intention of blaming you. Fortunately, the mountain belongs to the Minazuki family, and we’ll manage it well.”

“Ah, that’s a relief.”

He didn’t exert more power than necessary to defeat Mizuchi, and thanks to Koume and Jack’s barrier, they were able to minimize the damage. However, the damage was still significant.

Natsuki had put in a lot of effort to control his power, but the holy sword was quite unruly.

Even with his otherworldly grown body, it was hard to fully control, which is frightening for the future. He hopes there won’t be a need to use it again.

“Then, I’ll be heading to school, so this is goodbye for now.”

“Let us escort you.”

“No, no, I’ll walk. It’s fine.”

Natsuki gently declined the offer because he wanted to meet up with Koume and Jack. 

As Natsuki turned to leave with a nod, Kaya asked,

“Yura-sama, what do you intend to do with your power from now on?”

“Nothing special. I just want to live a relaxed and slow life. But, well, if someone weird comes poking around— I’ll have to defend myself, at least.”

Without looking back, that was all Natsuki said, and Kaya asked no further.

Natsuki was about to leave the Minazuki residence when,

“Yura-kun!”

“Yes?”

Caught off guard by his name being called, he turned around. 

When Mio ran up to him, he stopped, and she took his hand. 

“I was able to properly call him ‘father’. He had a very peaceful look on his face. So, thank you!”

Mio, who Natsuki had thought to be a bit shadowed since their last encounter, was different now. 

She was like a vibrant, colorful flower.
