Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V3 Chapter 37

Chapter 37: “Tsundere, Huh?”

“Hey! Yura! Yura! No way, his heart stopped!”

Senju desperately called out to Natsuki, but there was no response. He checked his breathing and listened to his heart, and was speechless.

He wasn’t breathing, and his heart wasn’t beating.

“Hey, you! Start CPR!”

“O-Okay!”

Following the instructions, Ren began pressing down hard on Natsuki’s chest.

“Sado! Use this, a healing talisman!”

“I can use healing magic!”

“Then use both! Don’t let him die! Absolutely don’t let him die!”

“I know!”

Yusuke took the talisman from Senju, applied it to the wound from his shoulder to his side, and used the healing magic he had relied on countless times in the other world with all his might.

The wounds healed rapidly, but he didn’t start breathing again.

“Damn it! Come back!”

Senju began performing artificial respiration.

“Come back, Natsuki!”

Ren put all his strength into it.

“Natsuki-kun! Please come back!”

Yusuke poured all his magic into it without thinking of the consequences.

Seishiro, using all his power, put up a barrier to protect Natsuki and the others from the residual effects of Ginko and Koume’s battle with Susanoo.

Their friends, who they had made after returning from the other world, continued to do everything they could, praying for Natsuki to start breathing again.

―Natsuki was in a pure white space.

“Huh? Could it be that I died?”

“Hey, you.”

Suddenly, he heard a voice and looked up to see a beautiful girl with pink twin-tailed hair wearing a white Gothic Lolita outfit.

Her hair reached the ground, and she was so small that she looked like a child.

With a slightly childish yet sweet voice, the girl spoke to Natsuki with an irritated expression.

“You’re not dead. You were temporarily close to dying, so I brought you here since it was convenient.”

“Oh, hi, Holy Sword. It’s been a while.”

Natsuki immediately recognized the girl as the Holy Sword he brought from the other world. 

It was no wonder since he had met her several times in the other world.

“Don’t ‘hi’ me! You promised you wouldn’t lose when you made a contract with me! What’s with losing to such a disgraceful god! Get serious! Actually, you don’t even need to be fully serious to kill him! You could do it at seventy percent!”

“No, no, I can’t even reach that seventy percent. I’m maxed out at fifty percent, there’s no way I can manage another twenty.”

“Even if you die, do it!”

“If I die, I can’t do it!”

“If losing to that disgraceful god means dying, then die and win!”

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

The Holy Sword snorted and turned her back on Natsuki.

“…You’re not planning to break your promise with me, are you?”

“If there’s still a chance, I’ll win.”

“Then, I’ll lend you my power.”

“Really?”

The Holy Sword had never lent her power before. 

Their relationship was strictly contractual, with Natsuki wielding her power as he saw fit, but they weren’t truly partners.

If she decided to help him, he could tap into her true power.

“Well, I have no choice, so this time, I’ll lend you my power! But listen, even if I help, you’ll be weaker than you were at your peak! Understand? Since you’ve weakened, even with my help, that’s all you get! So, don’t do anything reckless!”

“Oh, thank you very much for your concern.”

“Hmph, as long as you understand! But don’t get the wrong idea! It’s not for you. I just don’t want people to think I’m weak because my wielder is weak!”

“Thank you.”

“Hmph, as long as you understand! What you need is not some arrogant angel or a rotten girl, but me!”

The Holy Sword never looked back, but her cheeks seemed a little red.

“If you’re grateful, bow down!”

“Haha!”

“Now, go defeat that god or whatever he is!”

“―Hyu!”

Seen off by the Holy Sword, Natsuki regained his breath within Susanoo-no-Mikoto’s divine domain.
