With his companions, after the defeat of the demon king-

Might stayed in Kurt's temple-

Every day he communicated happily with Adonis, who went to heaven.

Adonis
...Huhuu. As far as that goes, wasn't that something!

Might
Yeah, at that time I was really surprised! Because, when you...

Who did he really want...

Might still couldn't find the answer. But, when he and Adonis amused themselves with folklore, he was able to go back to the way he was before-.

Might
By the way, Adonis. How has it been up there lately?

Adonis
There's always... a lot of traffic. Yesterday Ragsiel-sama was in bed from being attacked by an illness.

Might
Eh... An, an attack?!

Adonis
Huhuu..., It's ok. It's normal, I've already gotten used to it.

Might
U, used to it...

Adonis
He's really bothersome, that Ragsiel-sama...

Adonis
But, I've been able to see you once a day, thanks to him.

Was his visiting only troublesome? ...Might was about to start saying the words, when he became confused and swallowed them.

Might
Yeah... I can talk to you every day. We have to thank him for at least that!

Adonis
I've... lost my body, but I can see you every day. That much is enough.

Might
Adonis...

Adonis
And how are you doing? Are you and Kurt-san getting along?

Might
Eh!

Adonis
...Which remings me, usually you talk about Kurt-san.

Might
...Is, is that so?

Adonis
Yes.

It seemed Might talked about Kurt unconsciously when he talked to Adonis. Might didn't notice at all until Adonis said it.

Kurt's Voice
Might-sa~n!

Adonis
Ah, speaking of that...

Kurt
Might-san, so you came here...

Kurt
Ah... Adonis-san, you came.

Kurt
I, I apologize. I'm intruding...

Might
...No! It's not like that!

Adonis
Right, because it's just the time I have to return to heaven.

Adonis
Well then... Might, until next time. Kurt-san, excuse me.

Might
Yeah. Until next time.

When Might lightly waved, Adonis' figure slowly faded, until finally he was completely gone.

Kurt
...I'm sorry. I seem to have interrupted after all.

Might
That... I've been able to meet with Adonis because of your approval.

Kurt
I'm glad that you can say so. Because when you were talking with Adonis-san, you seem really happy...

As he said that, Kurt looked looked in Might's eyes to see his expression.

Might
...

At that glance, Might noticed there seemed to be feeling clinging to it somewhere, and he averted his eyes unintentionally.

He didn't even understand himself why.

Might
Umm... Is there something I can do?

Kurt
Ah... I see. No, it's nothing important...

Kurt, with a smile, broke the ice about the business. But that smile, was a touch lonely somehow.

Several days later...

Kurt
Well, please eat up...

Might
Ah, yes... thank you very much.

In a line on the table were various baked cookies Kurt had made, and the fragrance of boiled tea drifted in the air-.

It was afternoon tea time, and Kurt had invited Might to his room.

Kurt
Eat as much as you like.

Might
Y, yes...

Although the scenery in the room was something he'd gotten used to, for some reason Might's faced was tinged with the color of mental tension.

Guessing why Might appeared like that, Kurt seemed to be searching for something to say.

Kurt
Might-san, have you already grown accustomed to living here?

Might
Yes... I'm completely indebted to you, it's inexcusable...

Kurt
What a thing to say. I was by myself with Ragsiel-sama before... Every day is lively and happy.

Might
I remember, you've been living in this temple alone since you were small...

Kurt
Yes... It had already been more than ten years.

Might
That's terrible... I can't imagine living in this temple for such a long time alone.

Kurt
Huhuu... But I'm not alone now. There's Ragsiel-sama, Adonis-san, and besides them...

Kurt
...Might-san is here, too.

Kurt looked at Might while saying so. The moment their eyes met, Might turned his eyes away for reasons not even he understood.

The tension dried his throat.

Might
Ah... Is, is that so...

Kurt
Yes...

Might
...

Kurt
...

Their conversation paused, and it was suddenly silent.

Seemingly too uncomfortable to bear it, Kurt opened his mouth flustered.

Kurt
...Oh, that's right! I've completed a new hand-made drink!

Kurt
It's very good for the body! Might-san, would you try it?

Might
Eh, ah...

Yes! ...He began nodding, and Might hesitated. Since he had experienced Kurt's hand-made drinks before.

Certainly it seemed very healthy, but the problem was that it was clearly inversely proportional to how bad the taste was. Moreover, if it was as bad a normal, he could still be saved but...

Kurt
If you don't like it... Then don't worry about it...

Might
N, no...

It'd be my pleasure!

I'm holding back for awhile
