After we finished with the leveling session in the 《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》, we returned to Lunaire’s hut.
Thus, after a brief review regarding magic, drug compounding, and ditation, I went straight to cooking our al without doing the《Twin Mind thod》 training.
「YOu’re StronGer Than NoW, KanAta!」
Noble Mimic said as if admiring .
Surely, my current self might be able to win in a one-on-one fight against Noble Mimic.
Before, I thought “What the hell is with this uselessly high-level monster” but, I never expected that I would beco even stronger than him in an extrely short amount of ti.
「Yeah, good job on reaching this level. Uhm… Ka, Ka…」
Lunaire was suddenly unable to finish her sentence, there was a tinge of pink on her cheeks.
「M-My student.」
Lunaire said, coughing as if to gloss over her unfinished sentence.
What did she… want to tell just now?
「PleAsE Do ForgIVe HeR. MaStEr aRen’T Used CallEd AnoTHer PersoN’s Na After AlL.」
「You’re mistaken! I was just a little bit absentminded just now!」
Lunaire got angry at Noble Mimic.
…. Co to think of it, Lunaire might have never called out to by na.
No, it was not “Might be”, it was “NEVER”.
It might be just as he said, Lunaire intentionally didn’t call by na so that ant that she wasn’t used to doing so.
「Just once, I want you to call by na, Master.」
When I said what suddenly ca to my mind, Lunaire glared at with a scornful gaze.
「… Are you trying to mock ?」
「You’re mistaken! I really just wanted you to call by na, Master!」
「F-Fine then… just to be clear, i-it’s not like I’m looking for a chance to do that.」
…. Seriously?
Was it only who couldn’t rember that?
Lunaire closed her eyes as she readjusted her breath.
S-She looked like soone who was prepared to do a suicide attack….
Her condition was strange, was it really hard for her to say one na?
Just when I thought she wanted to say sothing, her lips suddenly shut again.
W-Was that a feint just now?
I an, right now even my face was blushing.
「Ka-Ka-Kanata….-San?」
Lunaire said while covering her face with her hands.
Though I was so happy that she finally called by na, I unconsciously covered my face with my hands too due to embarrassnt.
「P-Please drop the honorific.」
Noble Mimic was restlessly looking around the hut.
「WhAt… In ThE HeLL I SaW JuST NoW?」
Thus, I continued the cooking preparation in a lighter mood than before.
I was rather anxious right now since my face might be loosened sohow.
Thus, I slapped my hands on my cheeks to straighten my loosened face.
When I carried the dishes to the dining room, Noble Mimic was looking at Lunaire who was standing up to help .
「So, WhAT KiND Of TRAInINg YoU’Re GoINg To DO NeXT?」
Noble Mimic asked as if to tease Lunaire.
I also caught my breath in hearing him say those words.
Because it was a topic that I wanted to avoid after the end of today’s leveling session in the《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》.
「Congratulation. Your leveling is already…. No, you might not even need my help anymore. 」
… Was what she said at the end of today’s leveling session.
Those words indicated the end of my training.
I’ve to leave this place as soon as possible after I finished my training in this place, Lunaire reminded about that fact nurous tis.
Lunaire closed her eyes, she had nothing to say in this regard.
Maybe because he guessed Lunaire’s condition, Noble Mimic stopped moving his body and looked at her silently.
Lunaire opened her eyes a few seconds later.
「… I think you’ve beco strong enough. The way you are now should be fine even without my help in the outside world. You’ve finished your training.」
Lunaire’s words attacked like a heavy blow.
… Although I knew that this day would co sooner or later, it still hurt my heart no matter how many tis I heard it.
I ended up forgetting about replying to her and just stared down silently.
Even though getting out of this place should be my goal, before I realized, the days I spent training while laughing with Noble Mimic and Lunaire beca extrely important to .
Leaving this place ant that I wouldn’t be able to et her any longer.
「YoU’VE GrAduTED HuH! YAY, Let’S PaRtY FoR SeVEn DAyS To CelEbRATe YoUr GRAdua-….」
「No, you must leave today.」
Lunaire interrupted Noble Mimic with her usual indifferent voice.
Though his body stretched up in delight a mont ago, it was already hunched over by the next mont.
「I also have a mountain of things I wanted to do before you ca and took a lot of my precious ti. Though I’ll be lying if I said that I think of nothing of the days I spent with you…. Please do not waste your ti in a gloomy place like this.」
「Master… About that matter…」
「Don’t worry. For an immortal being like , several dozen days I used for training you was just my way of killing ti. Moreover, my emotional attachnt is lighter than yours, so do not be troubled by it…」
… I had no idea how to reply to her statent.
I was wondering whether or not Lunaire really ant it when she said those words.
Although she was a poor talker with a shy personality, there was no reason for her to tell such words.
Or else… I’ve simply misunderstood her.
「A-Are YoU SeRIouS, MasTER?」
「What’s the matter, Noble?」
「N-No, iT’S NoThINg…」
Lunaire started moving the plate towards the dining table.
In the anwhile, I just stood there dumbfoundedly as I looked at her.
「There was sowhere I wanted to visit after this, can you co with after dinner? It will be the last place we will go to.」
Lunaire called out to who was still frozen.
L-Last place… to visit?
Noble Mimic hung around that seemingly looked dejected after his request for tagging along was answered with him almost being blasted to dust by Lunaire.
