self-defense to Miharu, and Aki was Rio’s egoism .

Part 11

He didn’t wish for Miharu or Aki to bear the mark of murder as much as possible .

As for Masato, without even doing an explanation to prepare him, he is going at him with enough killing intent .

Even if he explained this with words, they’re too spoiled, that’s why there’s no way he could properly explain about the severity of this world to them .

He wanted Masato to take the initiative of protecting Miharu and Aki in the worst case .

On the other hand, Rio chose to teach pole art to Aki and Miharu .

But, he didn’t have any intention of facing them with killing intent .

Certainly, even pole arts can be used to kill someone, if it’s just for killing, the spear arts are better .

Just in case, considering the possibilities that they might be returning to earth, he might be instinctively avoiding and didn’t wish for them to murder someone as much as possible .

Rio’s let out a self-mocking smile .

They definitely might want to go back to earth right away .

For them returning to earth rather than staying in this kind of world will definitely make their lives happier .

（And yet, I’m trying to restrain Mii-chan in this world to convey my feelings）

For this he became fed up with himself, and didn’t know how far it would go on .

Even now, he wanted to convey his feelings to Miharu, he didn’t want her to go back to earth .

Because that’s what he likes about her .

He didn’t want her to dirty her hands with blood no matter what .

Because the dirty job is his duty .

That was the type of egoism called compulsion .

『Say, Haruto』

Aisia voice suddenly resounded in Rio’s head .

Rio twitched as he reacted to her voice .

『Are you scared of conveying your feelings to Miharu？』

As if she somehow completely saw through Rio’s current feelings, Aisia asked about that point .

「I’m not scared . I’ll convey my feeling . But you know the timing is a bit hard for me due to various events」

Rio answered to not rushing in while showing a slightly wry smile .

『Then, is it because the thing that is scary for Haruto is that you’re different from your previous life？』

Rio’s eyes opened wide for those words hit his sore spot .

She saw through the deepest parts of him, even those that he hid deliberately .

「.... That’s right, maybe」

He nodded slowly after several seconds .

Part 12

His other side which he didn’t want to show Miharu yet, the him who already killed a human, the him that will kill when the need has come, the him who’s burning for revenge――

What will Miharu think of me when she knows about that .

If it’s for his revenge, he’ll go no matter how deep the hell awaiting him and, though he already decided with a resolute heart, only that was what made him scared .

「But, I’ll convey my feelings」

Now his voice contained his resolution .

『Then, if Miharu said that she want to go back to earth, will you help her？』

Rio chest clamored again .

But, Rio shook off that emotion .

「I’ll help her」

And replied to her .

『Then, if Miharu loves another person, is it okay for you if she said that she wants to go back for that person？』

Aisia asked with an increasingly cold voice .

「I’ll hate that but.. . . I’ll accept it . If that’s related to the happiness of Mii-chan」

Rio answered while killing his emotions .

Though he noticed that his trembling was transmitted to Aisia inside his head, Rio ignored that .

『Haruto....』

Though it’s her usual emotionless voice, for Rio, somehow Aisia voice seemed to be crying .

But, Rio laughed softly with an expression as if he realized something .

「It’s okay」

So he muttered to her .

Shance an Editor: Saw some comments complaining mainly about two things, one being about the Tachi Japanese suffix, another about the notes . The suffix is gone, though it’s hard knowing what exactly to put on the spot since Miharu-tachi could be Miharu and Aki, all the summoned, all the girls and not Minoru, or simply everyone on the group without Rio, so it might be a bit awkward and I’ll try to get better as time goes on . As for the notes, mine are mostly gone, and I made Cnine’s smaller without his permission
