Shiina Mahiru took a selfie of herself lying in Natsuo's arms, holding him, and then posted it in the group chat.
Shiina Mahiru: [Image]
Yui Yuigahama: [This is...::::. Mahiru, what's wrong with your hair?]
Shiina Mahiru: [This is the ability I gained after awakening~]
Yui Yuigahama: [Awakening? Is it the same ability as Natsuo's?]
Shiina Mahiru: [Yeah, right.] Yuigahama Yui: [So you guys really are... ::::::]
Shiina Mahiru: [Yeah, otherwise she wouldn't have awakened.]
Yui Yuigahama: [Was it last night?]
Shiina Mahiru: [This happened a few days ago. I'm sorry for keeping it from you until now.]
Yui Yuigahama: [It's okay...]
Mai Sakurajima: [Could you tell us what your ability is?]
Shiina Mahiru: [Why don't we just come to Natsuo's house? Yukino's there too.]
Mai Sakurajima: [Okay.]
More than half an hour later, apart from Kaguya Shinomiya, Mai Sakurajima and Yui Yuigahama arrived at Natsuo's house.
The atmosphere was somewhat quiet.
Not only did Yui and the others not know what to say, but Mahiru Shiina had also returned to normal.
At this moment, she dared not face anyone.
She was still lying on Xia Sheng's body, but she buried her face in his chest and didn't dare to look at anyone.
Overwhelmed with shame.
As she said after the reversal, her values and common sense made her care about many worldly views, making it impossible for her to face them calmly.
After all, what normal person would openly and honestly say that they've gone from being a girl to a woman?
Moreover, she was still at the shy age of a young girl.
"What's wrong with Mahiru?..." Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but ask.
"I'm shy," Yukino Yukinoshita replied calmly.
"shy?"
"Put yourself in their shoes. If you were to reveal that you and Xia Sheng had gotten married, could you face everyone with a clear conscience?"
"This...this kind of thing..." Yui Yuigahama blushed.
She hadn't done *that* with Xia Sheng yet, but putting herself in his shoes, she was indeed too ashamed to face anyone.
"But didn't Mahiru herself say that?" Sakurajima Mai asked doubtfully.
"After the reversal, she will let herself go and become oblivious to the world," Yukino Yukinoshita explained.
"So that's how it is."
"What kind of ability does Mahiru have?" Yui Yuigahama asked curiously.
"Release your true self, become that unrestrained state, and you will unleash jet-black flames that can burn everything," Yukino Yukinoshita explained.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"She's really amazing. If it weren't for her abilities last night, we would have been done for." Yukino Yukinoshita's tone was tinged with relief.
"Was it that dangerous last night?" Yui Yuigahama asked in surprise.
"It's extremely dangerous. Not only has a third layer appeared, but the intruder is also a half-orc with resistance to both magic and physical attacks. Natsuo has no way to deal with it," Yukino Yukinoshita said with lingering fear.
"Was that Mahiru who solved it?"
"No, her ability is limited by magical power, but it's just right that it can burn the orc's skin to the ground, which is why Natsumi's magic is effective."
"I see, then we really owe it all to Mahiru." Yui Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief.
"Indeed, if it weren't for her, I might have had to fight to the death," Xia Sheng interjected gently.
He gently patted Shiina Mahiru's back to comfort her.
"It's fortunate that you two did it; perhaps this is fate," Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly.
"Hmm..." Xia Sheng's eyes darted around, a little guilty.
"So, taking things a step further with Natsuo can indeed make you stronger." Sakurajima Mai looked at Natsuo with a calm gaze.
This was entirely expected.
"But why?" Yui Yuigahama asked curiously.
"This..." Xia Sheng hesitated, unsure whether he should reveal his true identity to them.
He said that only he could defeat the invaders, because he was not from this world and was not bound by any constraints.
So, if they were to achieve a happy ending with him, they would be completely imbued with his aura and freed from the constraints of this world.
This was his guess, but he felt it was pretty close to the truth.
"Still unwilling to tell me?" Yukino Yukinoshita stared at him.
She remembered that Xia Sheng had said before that he would tell them about his special qualities.
Are they not qualified enough now?
"You'll know once you've done it with him," Shiina Mahiru interjected, raising her head and calmly looking at everyone.
"Mahiru, are you... are you alright?" Yui Yuigahama asked with concern.
"It's okay, I've gotten used to it a little," Shiina Mahiru replied weakly.
"That's good."
"Why wait until it's done?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, staring at Mahiru Shiina.
"Naturally, it will be when you have completely become his people. His secrets can only be told to the closest people," Shiina Mahiru replied seriously.
"You already know about our closest...est friends?"
"Yes, Natsuo is special. Only he can protect us and protect this world," Shiina Mahiru said firmly.
"Is that so... I understand, I won't force him to say it."
"Actually, it's okay to say it out loud. I feel sorry for you guys... um."
Natsumi was speaking when Shiina Mahiru covered his mouth.
"No, everyone has to agree to the same condition as me to find out, otherwise I'll be unhappy." Shiina Mahiru looked at him with a wry smile.
Mountain..." Xia Sheng was silent.
"Natsuo, it's okay, just tell us later," Yui Yuigahama immediately chimed in.
"Well, since it's so important, let's tell it to the people closest to us." Sakurajima Mai added, "Yui, Mai-senpai..." Natsuo looked at the two of them with emotion.
He actually wanted to tell her, but he also wanted to hold back. He was conflicted and torn, after all, it was his most important secret.
Perhaps, in his heart, he just wanted to be special and tell them the most important things at the most important moment.
"So, you're already prepared?" Shiina Mahiru looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Talk? Um...:::::" Yui Yuigahama panicked, looking around nervously, her face visibly flushing red.
"These things will happen naturally," Mai Sakurajima replied calmly.
"It'll all fall into place naturally, didn't you hear me?" Shiina Mahiru jokingly reminded Natsumi.
Xia Sheng remained silent.
He didn't think Shiina Mahiru was just pretending to be indifferent; she was quite jealous.
His inaction is the best course of action at present.
"There's no need to discuss that. There's something more important to pay attention to right now," Yukino Yukinoshita said suddenly, her expression serious.
"What?"
Everyone looked at her.
"What should we do tonight?"
"Tonight... Ah! Without Mahiru, we can't deal with the orcs!" Yui Yuigahama was the first to react.
"This is really..." Sakurajima Mai frowned.
"Natsuo, are you alright?" Shiina Mahiru looked up at him and asked with concern.
"We have no choice but to give it our all," Xia Sheng replied.
He had a method he wanted to try last night, but Shiina Mahiru suddenly displayed incredible power.
Having gained the power of the orc, he was no longer afraid of him.
"Don't do anything reckless," Shiina Mahiru commanded.
"Don't worry, I can't bear to die. I'm confident."
"I'll ask Yui about her tomorrow. If something's wrong, I'll be angry."
"What if nothing happens?" Xia Sheng asked back.
"Then... there will be a reward~" Shiina Mahiru smiled slightly, her eyes full of allure.
Xia Sheng understood what she meant; she had almost recovered and could be tormented by him again.
"You said it." His heart burned with excitement, and he was full of motivation.
"Um:
"You two...we're still here," Yukino Yukinoshita reminded her helplessly.
"Haha~" Yui Yuigahama laughed awkwardly, her eyes flickering slightly.
"I'm trying to motivate Natsumi, is there a problem?" Shiina Mahiru turned to look at her and retorted.
"No problem, but aren't you ashamed anymore?" Yukino Yukinoshita reminded her.
::” Shiina Mahiru’s words.
This reminder made her feel embarrassed again.
"There's one more thing I need to know, Natsuo. Can't you borrow Mahiru's power?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked.
"cannot."
"I see."
