Chapter 375 - Pigimaru
Chapter 375 - Pigimaru
<Author’s Notes>
There’s no problem reading this chapter by itself, but the meaning of the “alone” that is brought up in this chapter may be better understood if you read the SS included at the end of Volume 2 of the manga.
(T/N: Can’t see this SS in the translated manga chapters or in the raws. This was probably included in the tankobon.)
The Goddess Subjugation Army is now heading towards Alion’s Royal Capital, Enoh.
I’m currently lying on my back inside our carriage, resting.
It was because Seras told me to rest.
[Even though you behave as if you haven’t accumulated any fatigue, you seem tired. Please rest for a while.]
I had accumulated fatigue.
I realized it this time after being prompted by Seras.
Putting every strategy into my mind for the decisive battle……
Sometimes breaking them down and rebuilding them……
Sometimes asking for directions, looking for others’ opinions———- I had been running around.
Therefore, I could somewhat see the reason behind me being able to grasp the intent of monsters.
Or perhaps, it’s due to some strange chemical reaction caused by the <Wisdom> stat.
I confirmed Pigimaru’s intents by asking for affirmative or negative responses.
Hence———— my ability to understand Pigimaru’s intent is something I “can” do.
Yes, that had been something “I’ve been able to do” until now.
However…… His cries just now……
The intent behind those cries felt strangely clear.
For me to dismiss that as a hallucination…… Those words are rather———-
…….No.
All those things don’t matter right now……
Closing my eyes, I smiled.
[I see.]
With those few words……
[I feel the same way, Pigimaru.]
I gently brushed Pigimaru’s body with my hand.
[Pii……. Pigiii……]
[You are———–]
——–my……
[———greatest partner.]
[Pigii…… Piyuuuu……]
Until I fell asleep, as if he himself was dozing off———- Pigimaru peacefully cuddled up to me.
