Chapter 44: After Kissing, You Have to Marry Him
"Ooh! It's really restored!"
"There's not a single scar! So amazing~"
"Can it heal any kind of wound?"
Seeing how the arm that had clearly been severed in two moments ago was now completely reconnected without leaving the slightest trace of injury, the girls present couldn't help but show amazed expressions.
Their displayed interest was even greater than during the previous battle.
...Well, after all, for women, the ability to leave no scars is more appealing than invincible power.
"I'm merely restoring time to its previous state~ It doesn't work on illnesses though. But for Satoru to know even this ability, it seems I truly have no secrets that can be hidden from you~"
However, Kurumi, who was being stared at, simply smiled and quickly explained the reason before looking curiously at the man before her.
She had only used "Dalet" to restore his arm just now. While versatile, it couldn't really be considered an overwhelmingly powerful ability.
But Satoru's abilities are truly remarkable. He feels more like the real "Omniscient" Spirit, doesn't he?
To think he even knows about her special abilities so clearly, even though she's never explained them to him before...
Of course, since he even knows who the Origin Spirit is, it's not surprising he knows about this ability too.
"It's nothing. If I didn't know about this ability of yours, I wouldn't have risked cutting off my own hand. After all, I do value my body quite a lot."
"Hehe~ That's what you say, but you still did it~ So, let me thank you again for helping me achieve my wish~"
Kurumi smiled gracefully as always, but this time with added gentleness, appearing much more relaxed.
The dream she had pursued for decades was suddenly fulfilled within just a few days—of course she was overjoyed.
Not long ago, she had still been thinking about killing who knows how many more people to fulfill her wish.
Now, she could finally free herself from that endless spiral~
...It's just that Sawa's matter still needs to be resolved.
The reversal had too great an impact on Sawa, causing her personality to become so fragmented that she still hasn't recovered.
After all, the former Sawa was extremely gentle—how could she possibly kill someone just to emerge, especially her own benefactor?
"It's fine. I've only confirmed that your friend is within you, but you can't both appear simultaneously yet. By the way, can you communicate with each other now?"
"...Not for now. But I have some impressions of what she's done. Once I gain better control, we should be able to communicate. It's just that what that child Sawa did was too extreme, causing trouble for you and everyone, Satoru~"
As she spoke, Kurumi bowed deeply to everyone present.
While the others didn't react much, Satoru felt somewhat subtle seeing this scene.
The same Kurumi who was so dominant in the original storyline would actually bow and thank someone sincerely—it was truly rare...
Of course, being able to witness this scene was actually quite delightful.
"It's not really a bother for us, though the end was a bit startling~"
"Well, this does count as one of the Service Club's requests, even if it was a bit over the top."
As members of the Service Club, Mei and Ayano responded as usual—one with a smile, the other with a calm tone, though both couldn't help but add a touch of sarcasm.
They had joined the Service Club because they felt that helping others solve their problems was a meaningful endeavor.
However, this was the first time they had encountered a request of this magnitude, clearly exceeding the usual scope of the Service Club's duties.
"Well~ it definitely went overboard, but the reward was quite generous, wasn't it? At least someone got quite an 'eye-full'~"
"..." xN
But at that moment, a single remark from Nia made the atmosphere in the room turn awkward.
Even Kurumi, who had been smiling all along, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes too embarrassed to meet anyone's gaze—especially Satoru's across from her…
There was no helping it. After all, her bare body had been witnessed by him, and that was genuinely a bit awkward~!
"Mm, Big Brother also saw Muku's body."
"..." xN
While some felt awkward, others didn't seem bothered at all and even brought it up proactively.
Mukuro straightforwardly uttered these words, making the atmosphere even stranger!
"Ahem, Mukuro, let's drop this matter here. Don't say any more."
"Huh? But didn't you say, Sister, that if a boy sees your body and kisses you, you have to marry him?"
"Cough, cough, cough! Th-this is a special case! It doesn't count!"
This child, how could she even say something like that?!
