Perhaps she did so that I don’t see her almost crying face.
“I will get you some drinks, so take a rest for a while. The break is also part of your training.”
And with that, she walked out of the training area.
The words itself were a sound argument but…..
“What happened when the observer escaped from it’s observing target……”
For the time being, I left Nagumo behind in the training area and chased after Sakura.
I know that she dislikes me accompanying her. I know that she hates me.
But there was no way I could leave my little sister in such a state alone.
7
Soon, I found Sakura.
Right next to the vending machine, a short walk down the corridor after leaving the training area. She was sitting on a bench that was hidden behind a pillar.
Two bottles of sports drink were placed beside her, as if they were an excuse. The expression on Sakura’s face was hidden by her hair, and I couldn’t see it.
“Well….”
For the time being, although I chased after her, I didn’t know how to talk to her. As I swept my gaze awkwardly, I suddenly spotted something nostalgic in the vending machine.
“……Ah–, you used to love this, didn’t you?”
It was a can of warm cocoa.
When we lived together, I was often pestered by Sakura to purchase this whenever we went out in the winter season.
I bought the cocoa with some coins I happened to have left in my pocket.
“….for now, drink this and clam down”
I pointed the cocoa at Sakura, thinking that I would cry if she rejected it.
However, contrary to my expectation, Sakura didn’t reject it.
“Stop it…….”.
Instead, what I heard was Sakura’s small trembling voice.
“Don’t be nice to me like that! Stop spoiling me!”
It was neither anger nor irritation. This was Sakura’s earnest plea.
“……..”
So, unable to do anything more, I sat down next to Sakura, holding a cup of cocoa that was a little too warm for the season. A long silence followed.
“……….I, even though I was your observer. I wasn’t able to do anything”
Eventually, Sakura opened her mouth to speak.
The voice she said was filled with frustration.
“Vixen argued against Taraba and others right in front of them after completing her preliminary arrangements strongly. Soya Misaki proved that you aren’t strange by finding the lolicon maker. However, even when you received that strange treatment, all I could do was scream and whine like a child, throwing a tantrum.”
“No, that’s…….”
I hesitated, wondering how I should respond to Sakura’s unexpected confession.
Sakura protected me with all her power when inspectors barged into my room.
But I’m sure she hates me, and I’m sure she hates me for being a pervert with the s****y ability to Climax Exorcism. So I don’t know what’s bothering Sakura so much.
“Don’t worry about it. I was acquitted this way because those two are strange.”
Kaede is a cold person by nature and Soya is an idiot with succubus eyes.
I’m grateful for them to believe in me and even capture and bring it but I don’t think they should come storming into the association’s headquarters.
“Of course I would care!!”
My casual consolation may have ignited the fire.
In the eyes of Sakura, who raised her face to look at me, in them was dwelling anger and irritation more than before.
“Because…………if I had been stronger and better since I was a little girl, I’m sure you and my foster father wouldn’t have gotten into so much trouble without my knowledge!”
“……….”
What came out of nowhere was a story about our foster parents.
He was a person who always helped people as if it was obvious, using nearly all of his hard earned money for us, the orphans sake from the spiritual disaster. Even after a hard day’s work, he never showed any sign of fatigue to play with us——our parents who collapsed due to overwork at the end and became a panty monster.
“If I had been more firm, he might not have pushed himself so hard until he collapsed. He might have complained and relied on me a little, so he wouldn’t have ended up like that after he died.”
“No, we are just as guilty as you are…..”
And I think it was 100% his fault or fate that our foster father became a panty monster.
“It’s not only about foster fathers!”
As if she hadn’t heard my words, Sakura creaked her teeth in frustration.
“I, I know. I know what you have done together with Kuzunoha’s people when foster father became like that
This is about the time when I exorcise my foster father who has become a Rank 7 evil spirit.
“Now, I can understand somehow. I’m sure have you must have used that crazy power together with that vixen to stop foster father”
“……..”
I didn’t say anything.
This exorcism was a secret even to the association, this strategy was something I and Kuzunoha have devised on our own. But Sakura continued with her conviction.
“However at that time, I didn’t know what was going on, I was stunned by everything…..and before I knew it, my foster father’s commotion had stopped. You came back in a worn out state, and even when I ask you what happened, you continue to deceive me. After that, you were always sneaking around with that vixen. You didn’t tell me anything, neither about our foster father’s exorcism nor about the bracelet you had been wearing for a long time. ….. Because I was weak and a burden to be protected.”
“No, it’s just plain embarrassing”
Because who even has the guts to say, [I have the power to climax a person just by single strike. And with this power, I had climax exorcised my foster parents]. It’s impossible for a normal person to do that.
“But I’m sure if could use spirit vanquishing technique like that vixen…..not getting spoiled by you and instead if I had become a existence who could be relied upon, spoiled upon……then I wouldn’t have been left out in the cold when someone I cared about was in trouble and I couldn’t do anything about it.”
“Sakura”
I wanted to say that’s not true, but I’m the one who actually did that.
“Don’t give me that worried look! Don’t treat me like a sister!”
When I couldn’t continue, Sakura stood up from the bench like she was jumping and then screamed with all her might as if she was going to hit someone.
“I hate you who always treat me like a child, never telling me important things and wouldn’t rely on me! I hate you!”
And then, breathing hard on her shoulders, she grabbed the hem of her dress.
“…..And I hate myself even more for being weak and whiny and letting you do that to me…….”
She let out a muffled gasp.
“That’s why, I don’t want to be spoiled by you now…..”
“………I see”
I finally realised Sakura’s true feelings.
Of course she will get mad. She had always been worried about her powerlessness.
That’s why two years ago, she went to train by herself under the supervision of that scary head of the monitoring department.
She was actually able to do everything on her own, and was doing a great job as a member of the monitoring department which she was desperately insisting on. And despite this, if I still continue to treat her half-heartedly, of course she will get mad. If I were in the same position, I would be angry too.
Don’t look down. It was natural for Sakura to have a harsh attitude.
Well, apart from that, her disgust with Climax Exorcism was real!
Anyway, maybe that’s why I shouldn’t be so quick to comfort her.
“You know, Sakura”
“………what?”
Sakura glared at me with a look that said if I said anything strange, she would definitely not forgive me.
“Umm, you know, how should I say, can you teach me how to move my body?”
“What?”
“You see, Nagumo is excellent as hypothetical enemy but at the end, she is a specialist in kendo and she didn’t looked like someone who knows how to fight with a body”
And she’s also very sports-oriented.
“I’d like you to teach me how to move from being an amateur to being able to do that like you did in two years.”
This may be a way to spoil Sakura.
I conveyed this to Sakura with my true feelings.
“………..”
When Sakura heard my words, she rubbed her eyes and said,
“Fu-fun. Well it can’t helped”
She took the cocoa from my hand with the same strong expression he had when we met again.
“I’m doing you a favor if you insist. You should be grateful!”
She seemed to have regained some of her composure, though it was probably a bit too much.
