Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

It was completely meaningless, and she wondered why her heart had skipped a beat just now.

However, trusting Kirihara Makoto, and because holding hands wasn't a big deal, Stella extended her soft, boneless hand and gently grasped Kirihara Makoto's.

(Is this okay, Izayoi?)

(Is this situation acceptable?)

(Mmm, just maintain this for twenty seconds.)

"Makoto? Do we need to keep holding hands?"

Palm to palm, tightly pressed together, the subtle sweat secreted from their palms mingled, this unprecedented feeling once again made Stella restless.

"Ah!"

"We still need to for a bit, how about we discuss the washing up schedule and cleaning arrangements for later."

Kirihara Makoto awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Honestly, he was also finding it difficult; hugging or embracing would be fine, but this handshake, not even with interlocked fingers, was incredibly awkward, okay.

"Ha, so, why are we talking about this now."

"Alright, alright."

The same silent smile left Stella completely helpless, and she could only give in.

"Before you came back, I already thought about it. We'll take turns with the cleaning. I was originally planning for you to have the bathroom from six to eight, but you'll probably have intense training soon, so I'll switch it to me from six to eight."

"And if we're both free for dinner, we can cook."

Despite her initial complaints, Stella now felt a bit garrulous.

"Hey! Stella, do you really think you have a natural interference ability?"

Chapter 063: The True Phantasmal Species, Dragon

"What do you mean?"

Stella frowned, completely unable to understand what Kirihara Makoto meant.

She didn't even understand what Kirihara Makoto was talking about.

"What I mean is, Stella, have you recognized your own essence?"

"Do you really think your ability is a natural interference ability?"

Stella's heart suddenly raced, she seemed to suddenly understand Kirihara Makoto's meaning, as if she knew what Kirihara Makoto wanted to say.

So she froze.

"Stella used a Blade Art called 'Dragon Tremor Kick' in her fight with me, right?"

"That move is very powerful, the power it unleashes is simply terrifying."

"But have you ever carefully considered why you can unleash such power because of that move?"

Sometimes, reality and the truth are only separated by a thin piece of paper.

It was unexpected that it was only because no one had ever thought of it that way, unexpected that it was only because no one had ever presented these two things to Stella.

"What is a Blade Art?"

"These past few days, to better develop my powers, I've thoroughly researched a lot of information."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the enhanced development of one's own Device's abilities, right?"

Kirihara Makoto directly laid out all the key points.

"Think carefully, you've always believed that your ability is fire-based natural interference, so why can you clearly develop a power-based enhancement ability like 'Dragon Tremor Kick'?"

Such a direct reality left Stella completely stunned, unable to react.

All along, Stella had regarded herself as a fire-based natural interference ability user.

The burning temperature of her flames could reach as high as three thousand degrees Celsius, such a temperature would instantly reduce any tangible substance to ashes upon contact.

She had always believed that since she was a child.

She had also applied her fire control ability to develop various Blade Arts.

These were all reasonable abilities, and there were no problems.

Because moves like Dragon Princess's Feathery Dress, Dragon Princess's Breath, and Dragon Princess's Jaws are all fire-based abilities.

But what about Dragon Tremor Kick!

The principle is very simple, it's to instantly unleash one's greatest strength, forcefully stomping on the ground, causing destruction and vibration effects.

So, according to Stella's understanding of her own Device, all her skills should be fire skills, and there should never be any physical enhancement-based brute force.

Stella wasn't a complete idiot.

Now that Kirihara Makoto had reminded her like this, if she still couldn't understand, then she was obviously pretending.

"So, I'm not a natural interference-type Blazer."

At the thought of this, Stella felt a little unable to accept it.

What did this represent? This meant that the direction she had been working towards until now was wrong.

The direction she had been working towards was not the direction she should have been working towards.

She had been using her powers incorrectly all along.

She had been wasting her time, moving forward on the wrong path.

"I guess so."

"After all, there aren't any powerful Blazers in the Vermillion Empire, Stella, you've been exploring everything on your own, it's not strange that you misunderstood your own abilities."

This phenomenon was very normal.

After all, Blazers' abilities were diverse, causal abilities, natural abilities, enhancement abilities.

Even now, new types of Blazers appear every year.

So, gradually recognizing one's own abilities during the growth process was definitely not a rare thing.

"Then... then what is my true ability? Do you know?"

Stella couldn't sit still on the chair anymore, she rushed directly in front of Kirihara Makoto, grabbed both sides of Kirihara Makoto's collar with both hands, the power that suddenly erupted almost pulled Kirihara Makoto directly from the chair.

The faces of the two were pulled to a distance of only a few centimeters, even if Kirihara Makoto moved forward, he could easily touch Stella's nose.

Normally, with this kind of contact distance, Stella would definitely be shy.

But she was completely unaware now, just staring at Kirihara Makoto with excitement and nervousness.

As I said before, she came to this school in order to become stronger and become the guardian of her country.

If she had taken the wrong path before, she had taken the wrong path, what's done is done, no amount of regret would help.

But what was more important to her now was to clarify her abilities and start new training.

But Kirihara Makoto just smiled slightly, and calmly said:

"Are you ready to accept the weight of your own destiny?"

...

"How is it, Izayoi, what exactly is it?"

In his own consciousness space, Kirihara Makoto stared at Izayoi's consciousness body, somewhat impatiently.

Here he could also see the situation outside, and the awkwardness of the situation had made him a little unbearable.

"Alright, kid."

"After all, it's not my real body going, it's just a wisp of consciousness residing in you, and I still need your magic power as a medium, so it took a little time."

Izayoi slowly opened her eyes.

I don't know if it was because she used too much power, but Kirihara Makoto always felt that Izayoi's presence seemed to be a little weaker again.

"Well, there's not much time, I'll keep it simple."

"Do you have a concept of the term Child of the World, or Child of Destiny?"

Instead of directly explaining the question, Izayoi asked this strange question first.

"Ha-"

"I'm a little clear, after all, I've read novels more or less, it's just a group of people who are loved by the world, favored by luck, pick up treasures when they fall off cliffs, awaken when they are on the verge of death, and can turn any kind of suffering into opportunity."

"Mm-hmm!"

Izayoi nodded appreciatively, seemingly very satisfied with Kirihara Makoto's answer.

"That's very good, that saves me the effort of explaining."

"In short, this little girl is the child of luck in this world."

"She hasn't recognized her essence yet, as long as she recognizes her original power, I'm afraid she will quickly soar to dozens of times her current level."

"Pa-"

The folding fan in her hand closed tightly, Izayoi's figure became lighter and lighter, until it merged with all the surrounding colors, disappearing like a chameleon.

"This kind of existence is the best choice for your partner."

...

"Before you ask me, I'll ask you something."

"Stella, what is the full name of your Device?"

Waking up from the memories with Izayoi, Kirihara Makoto stretched out his hands and held Stella's small hands that were grabbing his collar, and asked softly.

"-Dragon Princess's Sword of Damnation!"

Stella answered without hesitation.

Even though the girl's small hands were being held by the man in such an ambiguous posture, Stella was still focused on staring at Kirihara Makoto.

"What kind of creature can give you such terrifying physical power?"

Kirihara Makoto continued to ask, while Stella fell into a state of contemplation.

"In addition, my space-time causal interference ability can't directly act on your body."

As early as when Izayoi reminded her of Stella's specialness.

As early as when Kirihara Makoto and Stella were fighting, the abilities they showed.

All of this had already given Kirihara Makoto more or less an answer in his heart.

"Your true ability should be Fire Dragon."

That's right, Stella's ability is the concept-based interference ability of the Dragon.

Regarding this answer, it had already been confirmed by Izayoi.

It should be difficult for others to notice this truth.

After all, even Stella herself, the holder of this ability, couldn't perceive her own essence.

But Izayoi could.

Because Izayoi had seen countless dragons, from wyverns that were only good enough to be food on the table, to pure-blooded dragons that could destroy the universe with a wave of their hand and traverse the multiverse.

From the moment Kirihara Makoto and Stella first met.

A wisp of divine sense sleeping in Kirihara Makoto's consciousness, originally intended to protect Kirihara Makoto, was awakened by Stella's special fate and that wisp of very weak dragon energy.

That's why there has been the development of things up to now.

"... 'Fire Dragon'?"

Seemingly as if she had expected it, Stella wasn't surprised, she just calmly restated the term.

There's no way, who asked Kirihara Makoto to point out the topic so clearly, even the creature was brought up.

"Scorching flames breath."

"Unimaginable brute force."
