1519 – Extra Chapter: Isis Episode ~ ~ Present ① ~ ~
<Author’s Notes>
From this point on, we will enter Present. Since that point would be a convenient spot to separate chapters, today’s chapter will be a little short.
The timeline is just after Isis and Kaito became lovers, while the next chapter will be a story about a timeline that isn’t described much in the main story between the Six Kings Festival and the God Realm War, and then after that will be a story at the time of the God Realm War.
The being that Isis has been waiting for. By no means was he strong enough to resist her, but even still, he was able to accept her…… Her encounter with Miyama Kaito brought about a great change in her.
Love is something one falls in…… She had been beaten down by loneliness and despair for so long, it was inevitable that she would fall in love with Kaito, who accepted her for who she was.
After meeting Kaito, Isis’s face began to smile more and more. Every day was truly joyful and everything around her even seemed to sparkle.
When she heard that he accepted her feelings and asked her to be his lover…… she felt so much happiness that it was difficult to express it in words.
Whenever she spent time with her new lover and smiled from the bottom of her heart, her heart, which should have been frozen, was filled with nothing but warmth.
In the midst of such happiness, which could be called the peak of her life, Isis had a dream for the first time in a long time.
“…………………”
Staring back at her was the other Isis, whom she had met many times before.
[……It doesn’t matter…… what you say…… anymore…… Kaito…… is my destined person…… Together with Kaito…… I will be happy…… No…… I will show you…… that I will be happy.]
Saying this, Isis’ eyes were filled with a strong and definite light, very different from when she was shedding tears while shaking with loneliness.
[……I’m not the only one…… receiving it from Kaito…… I will also…… give Kaito happiness…… I’ll show you…… that I won’t make Kaito…… regret that…… he loved me…… Together with Kaito…… I will…… be happy…… If I’m together with Kaito…… We’ll definitely achieve it.]
Looking back, it seems that all along, Isis’s heart may have remained weak. No matter how powerful she was, her heart was that of a lonely, trembling child. But now, thanks to the presence of Miyama Kaito, Isis has gained a firm pillar of strength.
Therefore, with a strong and unshakable will, she confronted the other Isis who has been denying her until now.
“……Unnn. That’s what I think too.”
[……Eh?]
However, what came back was not a denial, but an affirmation.
“Fufu, why are you surprised? It’s just as I told you, it’s not that I wanted to make you unhappy. I am you, the both of us are Isis…… Your happiness is my happiness……”
As she calmly told her in a clear voice, the other Isis took off the hood of the robe that she had been wearing…… and there Isis found a face exactly the same as hers, smiling happily from the bottom of her heart.
“……Look, the clouds above us have cleared up.”
[……Ahh…… You’re right.]
Just as the other Isis had said, when she looked up at the sky, the sky, which had been dark and covered with thick clouds, had turned into a dazzling blue sky…… and warm light was shining into the snowfield.
“Kaito had illuminated us. He brought warmth to the depths of our heart.”
[……Unnn…… Kaito…… is amazing.]
“Unnn. I don’t need to reject you anymore…… and there’s no need for us to meet like this.”
[……Are you going to disappear?]
“I won’t disappear. I am you, and you are me…… Blending into one, as Isis Remnant, we will live together with Kaito from now on…… seeing the same things, having the same feelings.”
The other Isis said. Saying that her role is now over and that she will return to her original form from now on, living together with her……
[……Thank you.]
“What for?”
[……For taking on…… a thankless role…… all these years.]
“You’re weird, thanking yourself.”
[……Fufu…… I…… suppose.]
Unlike in the past, Isis was able to have a more relaxed mind, and so, she realized. The other Isis in front of her had been denying her own wish for a long time…… and when those times came, trying to lighten the pain in Isis’ heart, she went ahead and said hurtful words……
Illuminated by the warm sunlight, the two Isis brightly smiled.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [……Unnn? A story at the time of the God Realm? Putting aside stories between the Six Kings Festival and that battle in the God Realm, what’s that story around the God Realm War gonna be about?]
? ? ? : [Probably how we were able to help Kaito-san with a part of his ordeals. After all, a certain someone, somewhere, has left behind an authority-level power in its unique, complete form.]
Serious-senpai : [Ahhh…… Yeah, that did happen back then!]
