Chapter 15: Testing Out All Sorts of Spells in the White Room

The scale of victory was tipped heavily in the elite orc’s favor. Nevertheless, I faced that challenge so that Arisu would be safe.

I had spent a lot of time lately never trusting in others; that was how I had survived. I was terrified of believing in someone just for them to spit all over it. Despite these notions, I still chose to believe in Arisu. There was no way that I could let that monster hurt her or consume her. My stomach churned just thinking about it.

My decision to rescue her was a rash one, a choice born without logic, but I didn’t have a single regret. And, as a result of my actions, I’d saved Arisu. I’d saved Arisu from the elite orc.

The achievement brought me such an overwhelming feeling of joy that, the moment we warped to the white room, I rushed over to her and brought her slender figure into a tight embrace.

“Wh-Wh-Wha? Kazu-san…” she stammered in surprise.

I drew back a little bit from her to get a look at her face. It was covered in red blood as she stared back at me.

“I’m so glad. Everything actually worked out.”

“Are you telling me that this strategy we staked our lives on was half-baked?” Arisu’s gaze turned stone-cold.

“To be honest, I thought we had less than a thirty percent chance of victory. Our success was all thanks to you trusting me.”

“If I just needed to trust you, then our chances of victory were always one hundred percent.” Arisu beamed. Her smile stretched across her entire face. “If I chose to believe in you and ended up dying anyway, I would be happy. That’s what I thought.”

“But… why? Why would you feel that strongly?”

“Because you’ve never let me down, not even once.”

That’s just because you were useful to me. I swallowed back the words. I had come to realize that those words were nothing more than self-deceit at this point, an excuse I defaulted to so that I could trick myself into thinking I didn’t care. The words may have rung true before but not right now. My reasons for saving her were not based on her usefulness alone.

As if to confirm this, Arisu stared at me with misty eyes. She hesitated, her expression full of determination, before slowly opening her mouth. “Let me tell you once more, Kazu-san: I love you.”

Rather than answer her, I instead brought my lips to hers. Arisu wrapped her hands around the back of my neck and responded passionately.
