You really are amazing, Shizuku-chan!” “Says the girl who just kissed me in public a few minutes ago.” Hajime looked over his shoulder at Shizuku, a teasing smile on his face. Next to her, Kaori shouted happily, “I can’t believe you managed to stop Yue. Yeah, that’s it.” Considering Shizuku refused to meet Yue’s gaze, it was obvious she was lying.
#TROVE RAPT BERSERKER TRIAL#
Well, we’re still inside a labyrinth and the trial isn’t over yet so, you know? Save that kind of stuff for when we’re somewhere safe?” “What are you really thinking?” “I’m jeal- No, forget it. It seemed she’d interrupted them unconsciously, and not intentionally. Yue turned to the owner of the sheath, Shizuku, with a glare. What do you think you’re doing?” But before she could, a black sheath blocked her path. Then, after sucking his blood, she moved up to kiss him on the lips. She leaned forward and bit Hajime on the neck. In the face of such overwhelming love, Yue blushed and looked up at Hajime with longing eyes. Even if it meant sacrificing the entire world, Hajime would choose Yue every time. Hajime’s eyes glowed with a bestial ferocity as he told as much to Yue. And anything that hurt her, he’d destroy with extreme prejudice. A world that made Yue suffer didn’t deserve to exist. It didn’t matter what her circumstances were, Hajime’s conviction wouldn’t change. Regardless of whether the world, or even the gods, wanted Yue dead, Hajime would stand by her. It doesn’t matter what you really are, I’ll still love you, Yue.” Hajime wouldn’t hand Yue over to anyone, and he’d kill anyone who tried to take her from him. It seemed like the shock of being betrayed was so huge that you just sort of spaced out and before you knew it, you were sealed.” “Mmm.” “So I figured, rather than try to make you recall all those traumatic memories, it’d be easier if I just got rid of anything that tried to hurt you. He noticed Yue was tearing up and added, “But you know, from what you told me back in the abyss, it was obvious you didn’t remember everything. I’m sure your uncle had plenty of ways to drain you of mana, so of course I’d wonder why he chose to seal you away instead of just killing you.” If only you were completely immortal, I wouldn’t ever have to worry about you being in danger. I mean, you’ve got the power to infinitely regenerate. “Did you already figure it out, Hajime?” “More or less.

But you know, don’t you think it’s kinda late to be realizing this? If you ask me, the way you used to act when you were a queen was way more interesting.” Yue blinked in surprise, her frown gone. Yue pouted, and Hajime smiled wryly at her. Of course, thanks to her fight with Shea, she wasn’t letting that worry get to her, but it was still a serious topic. Stupid Hajime.” Yue was worried that if she truly was more special than she’d realized, that perhaps she’d need to be sealed away again in the future.

She flew backward in a tailspin, but then regained her balance faster than anyone thought possible and yelled, “What was that for!?” Yue ignored her and turned back to Hajime. Just then, Kaori snuck up behind Yue and said, “Come on Yue, what’s the big deal!? Why don’t you talk like a princess for us? Hey-” “Die, Kaori.” “Bwah!” Yue turned around and punched Kaori in the face. Hajime ruffled Yue’s hair affectionately and apologized for teasing her. I guess when I think of it that way, it’s understandable. Chances were she found it just as bad as Hajime would have if she’d asked him to start talking like he used to in his edgelord days. It was a testament to how embarrassed she was that she was refusing a request from Hajime of all people. I don’t wanna.” Yue turned away in a huff.

As a reward, I shall grant you any one thing you desire,’ then?” “That’s way too long. “What about, ‘Hajime-san, you did well to clear this trial. It’s embarrassing, so no.” Going by her expression, Yue wasn’t lying. I know, why don’t you try saying ‘I live to serve the people,’ or something?” “Mmm. “You can talk like a princess or a queen or whatever, I just wanna hear it. Go back to talking like a princess for a bit.” “Wh-Why?” “I just wanna hear what you sound like when you’re all formal.” As usual, Hajime didn’t mince his words. But Hajime ignored their nonplussed expressions. Shea and the others all looked at Hajime in surprise as well. Surprised, Yue thought, That’s what you’re bringing up!? “Also, your original name was really long.” “Huh!?” That’s what you’re bringing up!? she thought again. Yue had just finished telling Hajime about her trial and subsequent fight with Shea, and that was what he responded with.

At the bottom had been a long corridor that the party was currently heading down. So you used to talk more like a princess, Yue.” “Huh!?” Once all the trials had ended, a staircase leading underground had appeared from within the ice tree in the center of the trial room.
