Tatsuya returned the CAD to his left waist and wordlessly embraced
Miyuki.
"Ah...!"
Both of his arms encircling the wide-eyed Miyuki, Tatsuya softly
whispered something in her ear before releasing her.
Stepping back, he put on the protective visor and pulled down the
goggles.
Returning to a completely black form, Tatsuya thumbed the power
switch on his belt and returned to the skies.
Miyuki could only blankly follow him with her eyes.
Her brother's words "Well done" continued to reverberate in her ears.
Wearing a skeptical expression, Isori started examining his own body.
Utterly astounded as she watched her lover's body, Kanon suddenly
burst into tears and threw her arms around Isori.
On the other side, Kirihara tilted his head slightly as he repeatedly
alternated between hopping on one foot and standing on one foot with
Sayaka smiling through her tears as she watched him.
Miyuki turned her head when she heard the light footsteps behind her.
Behind her stood Erika, who also leaped down from the helicopter and
was still carrying the odachi that was taller than she was.
"Nice work. That magic was incredible."
Seeing Erika strike up a conversation just as usual, Miyuki let out a
reserved smile in response. — A smile that smacked of some sort of
fear.
"...Before Onii-sama, even Thanatos must bow. But that magic..."
"Hm? No, I know Tatsuya's magic was amazing too, but I was talking
about Miyuki's magic. As expected of Miyuki, magic that only targets
and strikes at enemies is simply awesome."
Erika's expression was not an act, nor was it forced in any way.
She was simply praising Miyuki's outstanding ability.
There was no sign of horror.
So,
"—Thank you."
Miyuki also replied with a typical, natural response.
