[First of all, we need to deal with our most recent problem.]

[Most recent problem?]

[I mean Eris-sama.]

[Ohh…]

[We have to find a way to get rid of that neck tattoo. I have some doubts that Libra would let her go just like that.]

[Indeed. There is this feeling like, he is either lying, or deliberately leaves something out when he talks.]

[I have the same impression.]

[That means, I’m gonna have to go meet Kairos again.]

[Is he not… the owner of the Gluttony skill before Fai?]

[Yeah, Kairos is here.]

[Inside the gluttony skill.]

[He said so inside the spiritual world. I wish I could control my Gluttony skill better now..]

Roxy turned to me anxiously when I stopped talking.

[What happened?]

[Well…]

[Tell me honestly, please.]

[Un.]

[Fai!! What are you!?]

[I’m sorry to keep this from you.]

[Those are.. wings?]

[But it’s not like Roxy’s wings during angel mode. Mine are broken.]

[When did this start?]

[I think before we went to Hauzen.]

[Since back in the royal capital!? But back then… I remember there was nothing on your back when Snow pulverised the bath house’s wall.]

[It started growing after I consumed the sacred beast. Apart from that… the day after I fought Aaron in the royal capital …something started…to form and appear in front of me.]

[And that was?]

[In the spiritual world, I met another me created by the gluttony skill.]

[Eh…]

[Are you alright, Fai…?]

[I managed to drive it off.]

She fell into thought after hearing my story.

[Does that not mean your gluttony skill has been awakened?]

[Perhaps… perhaps because I inherited part of my Dad’s bloodline, that the broken wings grew. They may not have anything to do with the gluttony skill.]

[Dean-san… is also a sacred beast, is he not?]

[I don’t think the clone will reappear anytime soon. And it’s not like I have the sacred beast power like Dad or Snow. These are just unusable wings.]

[It is relieving to know that the wings have nothing to do with the gluttony skill. But it is still worrying that the skill has become more active…]

[It is pretty rough alright.]

[Fai…]

[I’ll do my best.]

[What are you two doing, still standing around here?]

[Please get some rest soon.]

If we don’t comply, Libra may punish her. Considering she talked more than before this time, it might be the case.

[Let’s return, Roxyー]

[Yes.]

When I passed by Eris, I muttered.

[Be a little more patient, just wait.]

[…]

[Somehow, our voices might have still reached Eris-sama after all.]

Returning to our room, we found Myne sleeping happily.

[This… so much like Myne to do this.]

[Fufufu, it is very her alright.]

Roxy took the blanket and gently covered Myne properly with it.

[I think she is in love with Fai.]

[Wha! Why talk about that all of a sudden?]

[I have been spending some time with Myne recently.]

[When will she improve, I wonder.]

Hearing me saying that, Roxy immediately scolded me.

[Myne lost her sense of taste for a very long time. It will be difficult for her to adjust right away. Still, I know that she’s happy when Fai eats the food she cooks.]

[When you put it that way…]

[Thank you for helping her again. I’ve always been indebted to Myne after all.]

[Do not mention it.]

Myne opened her eyes.

[Did we wake you up…]

[Not at all. We are in the enemy’s line. I’d be able to keep my eyes open at any time, even when I’m sleeping.]

[Always so capable.]

[That’s because Fate’s training is still lacking. Why don’t you do the same right now?]

[No way I can.]

[Just kidding.]

[I’m also responsible for this. That’s why I will spare no effort to close the door. And… I just want to be with Fate.]

[Myne…]

[Jiiiiiiiiiiii…..]

[How nice. Lately, Myne has been sticking close to Fai. That is good.]

[Don’t worry too much about small things. Since I don’t care, then it’s fine.]

[Mumumumu.]

At that point, Snow, who was wandering around god knows where, suddenly barged in.

[Everyone is here already!]

I noticed that she actually opened the door properly without destroying it this time. When she’s excited, her control over her Area E strength tends to become sloppy after all.

[Let me in on it too!]

[No way, it’s already complicated as it is.]

[I hate you!]
