Chapter 13: Akane Akabane’s Heart Pounds
<Akane Akabane’s Perspective>
Akane: “(sigh).....I’m so tired～”
After they were released after giving their testimony to the police, Grandma scalded me with a fiery hot lecture at home.
[What are you doing letting an ordinary civilian handle an [Ogre]?! And on top of that, you did absolutely nothing?!]
Akane: “But Souta defeated it like it was nothing.”
How was that even possible……..
Any [Ogre-Transformed] human being could easily handle 10 ordinary people. The Ogre will be so strong, 10 men wouldn’t be able to hold it down.
And Souta was able to hold it down all by himself.
He did it without doing anything risky and executed it very calmly.
Akane: “He was amazing～ that Souta….”
I mumble quietly to myself and then come to my senses.
Akane: (WhーWhat am I saying?!)
Thankfully, Yukina isn’t here.
She went back to the original person she was possessing and went back home with Souta.
It would have been bad if she overheard me.
Well, actually, she might have been overjoyed.
When I think about Souta, I think about the time he suddenly hugged me in the park.
He’s skinny, but his arms were fit and muscular.
He was well built overall and very strong.
I could just relax and let myself rest in his……….WAIT?!
WHAT AM I THINKING?! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, AKANE!!
Akane: “This might be Yukina’s influence……”
At the park, I was <POSSESSED> by Yukina’s ghost.
Yukina’s Spiritual Body entered my body.
At that time, both souls existed as co-owners of a single body temporarily.
Akane: “What am I doing…..I’m supposed to be a Exorcist Mage in Training…..”
If Grandma finds out, I won’t just be scolded.
If things go south, she might expel me as her disciple….
Akane: “(sigh).........”
I can’t help but let out a worn out sigh.
And my heart won’t stop pounding.
It’s because I just thought about Souta just now.
And the remnants of Yukina’s Soul inside my body refuse to let it goーー
ーーmy attractions towards Souta Shibuya...
Akane: (Ugh～ what am I supposed to do…….?)
I thought this would pass with time, but my feelings are not calming down at all.
They remain excited and stirred.
Souta’s face comes into view in my imagination.
A burning sensation overwhelms my chest.
Akane: (Ugh～ this is bad～)
In times like these, I wish I could blast away a few spells to make me feel better.
But a Mage in Trainee like me is not allowed to use Spells without supervision.
I need my Grandma, who is an officially certified Mage, to be around to supervise.
And Grandma is not here.
So I can’t train.
Akane: (That reminds me…...Grandma has been going out a lot lately～)
Today, I ran into an [Ogre], and Grandma came flying to my rescue, and after that was done, she went out again.
She’s already semi-retired, but when there’s an [emergency situation], my Grandma is one of the few truly skilled Mages, and they call for her help often.
Recently, the number of incidents that are Magic-related have been increasing within the city limits.
The appearance of an [Ogre] is probably related as well.
The Mage who came with the police was complaining and muttering, “Again?!” to themselves.
I wonder what’s going on?
It piqued my curiosity, but no one would tell a student like me anything.
The clock says it’s past 10:00 PM.
I need to study for an upcoming test…….but…..
I have zero motivation right now……..
Maybe I’ll just rest tonight.
I can do it tomorrow. There’s always tomorrow.
……….before, I would be studying with Yukina.
I really need to make more friends～
Right then, my cell rang with a text notification.
On the screen, it said, “Message Available.”
And the sender was labeled as……”Souta”.
