[......Kao, ri? Are you….Kaori?]
Was she extremely glad that Shizuku had noticed that it was her? The silver haired blue eyed woman had a bright face! and replied in a lively bright voice.
[Un! I’m Kaori! Shizuku-chan’s best friend, Shirasaki Kaori. Although my appearance has changed…..I’m properly living!]
[......Kaori…..Kaori~i!]
Shizuku was stunned for a bit. Although she has no idea how things turned out the way they did, even still, with the fact that her best friend was still alive and in front of her, finally soaking in, she embraced Kaori who had obtained a new body of a silver haired blue eyed woman with all her might as she cried out tears like rain.
Kaori was also sobbing like a baby and like Shizuku she embraced her back tightly and quietly whispered gently.
[I’m sorry to have worried you? I’m fine now, I’m fine]
[Hi~gu, gusu~, I’m glad, so glad~]
They both buried their faces in each others necks and Shizuku and Kaori firmly confirmed each other's existence.
Everyone who saw it was completely stunned, for a while, the cries of warmth and tenderness resounded throughout the drilling grounds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[So then, what exactly does this mean?]
With eyes dyed red and swollen from tears, Shizuku’s cheeks also blushed with the same amount of shame, and determined to hide her shame she demanded an explanation of the circumstances.
The current location has switched from the drilling grounds to the large room where Kouki and them usually eat at. In regards to Shizuku, it was explained that at heart she was Kaori and the body belonged to someone named Nointo, for the time being Ririana urged that they move to a calmer place. However, it wasn’t only Shizuku who came, all classmates as well as Aiko and Ririana are attending.
[Well, lets see….cutting straight to the chase. Using magic, Kaori’s soul was protected, Nointo’s corpse? Remains? Ma~a, we restored it and took it over]
[I see…..I don’t get it at all]
