Chapter 608 - Will Bring About a Change
A few moments after Alice disappeared and things have calmed down…… Fate-san gives up and lets out a sigh, before she turns to me and spoke.
[……S- So, what’s the matter, Kai-chan? D- Did you have something for me?]
[Ah, no, I heard that Fate-san is sick, so I came to visit you……]
[……Sick? Errr, Kai-chan? I’m still a God, remember? A Supreme God…… How can I be sick?]
[Eh?]
Arehh? That’s kind of different from what Alice told me. N- No, wait. Even if that’s so, there is no doubt that there is something strange with Fate-san.
[I mean, in the first place, what makes you think I’m even sick……]
[W- Well, I heard it from Alice……]
[From Shall-tan? Geez, she’s saying random things again……]
[And also, I thought of this…… because Fate-san is “working”!]
[……That’s true. I guess I might be sick.]
This might have a very rude thing for me to say, but Fate-san was easily convinced when I said that “she’s sick because she’s working”. Unnn, that aside, I wonder what’s happening?
In a way, this is something that Fate-san would typically say, so I think she’s starting to get back to how she usually is.
[W- Well, anyway, I’m glad to see you’re doing well. I was a little worried about you since you haven’t been coming to visit much lately.]
[Ahh…… Uuuu…… That is…..]
[Fate-san?]
[I- I see, I finally understood what Shall-tan meant when she told you I was sick. No, I do know about such sickness but…… Uuuuu.]
For some reason, Fate-san started trembling again. What is this? She doesn’t really seem to be sick, but she seems a little different from the usual Fate-san.
Fate-san basically is the type of person who speaks exactly what she thinks, so it’s unusual for her to react in a way that looks like she’s hesitating to say something.
As Fate-san seems to be troubled about something, let’s try to sort out the information I have for a bit. Fate-san’s condition clearly looked different from usual. And Alice said that Fate-san is sick in a way.
Moreover, Fate-san herself seemed to have some idea of what was going on with her. Even though she had just mentioned earlier how “her getting sick is impossible”……
Based on this information, I can conclude that Fate-san’s illness…… is one of those “mental illnesses”. Let’s just ignore how she was working, acting differently from how she usually acts due to her confused mind, for the moment.
However, it’s hard to imagine that Fate-san is depressed or anything like that. In fact, she doesn’t seem to be depressed at all.
Unnn? What…… could it be…… No, I don’t think this is the case but…… should I ask her that? If it’s not, this would just end up as a funny story……
[Ummm, Fate-san.]
[Eh? W- What?]
[Fate-san’s sickness…… It’s not like it’s “love sickness” or something like that, right……]
[Uweeehh!? W- W- W- What are you……]
Arehh? Seriously?
[Y- You’re wrong! It’s not decided that that is the case…… I don’t feel like it’s anything close to that……]
It was a very quiet voice unlike how she usually speaks, but I managed to hear it. I see, she’s not convinced that it’s love, but it’s like she had a faint feeling that love is starting to sprout from within her? That’s why she’s confused……
Wait a moment. In that case, the target of that lovesickness…… is it me?
N- No, that’s not something decided yet…… In the first place, I think Fate-san said that she’s only interested in people where her abilities don’t work, so thinking about this, the people of the opposite gender that fall under this category…… Arehh? What is this? I’m kind of starting to feel embarrassed.
[…………………..]
[…………………..]
Both Fate-san and I couldn’t come up with any more words to say, so a subtle, yet heavy silence arrived.
After a few moments of such silence, it was Fate-san who spoke first.
[……She’s right…… It’s just as Shall-tan said, this isn’t like me at all.]
[Errr, Fate-san?]
[Kai-chan! I’d like to ask you a request.]
[A request?]
[I might…… be in love…… with Kai-chan. However, I don’t know. I don’t know if this feeling really is love…… That’s why, I’d like to make sure.]
[Make sure?]
[……Go on…… another date with me.]
Those words must have taken an awful lot of courage to say. Fate-san looked bewildered. She was confused by these unknown feelings that had begun to grow in her heart…… No, perhaps, she may even be afraid of it.
But even so, she chooses to confront her fears and asks me this. Looking at her small trembling body……
[I understand.]
I thought it would be a betrayal to Fate-san to turn away or give a vague reply to her words filled with her courage. Thus, I accepted Fate-san’s suggestion.
Fate-san is not the only one who has to confront her feelings through this date. When she gave me her answer, I couldn’t give her a half-hearted reply after all……
Dear Mom, Dad————— Date. Hearing just this word, it sounds sweet to one’s ears. However, contrary to such an image, a date appointment has been settled in an atmosphere that feels like we’re about to face a serious challenge. Fate-san and I am sure of it. Regardless of the outcome of this date, the relationship between Fate-san and I————— will bring about a change.
