Misunderstood Saintly Life Volume 4 Chapter 4 part 2

 
“…It’s been a while since I heard that nickname with zero naming sense.”
 
“Actually, I quite like it… Is it no good?”
 
“…Would you like it if I called you ‘Ina Ina’ instead?”
 
“Yes. I’d be happy if Ouga-kun called me that.”
 
“…I appreciate you saying that, but let’s still drop the ‘Uga Uga.'”
 
It’s a nickname that wouldn’t make even the most lovey-dovey couple’s heart flutter.
 
“…How strange. According to my research, it’s normal for close couples to call each other by such nicknames.”
 
“I thought it was fine to just act normal. I believed Reina and I were already close without needing nicknames… Was I mistaken?”
 
“…Ouga, you seem unusually eager today, don’t you?”
 
Indeed, looking back, my actions today were sudden – pulling Reina close, leaning in for an almost-kiss.
 
I had been making bold moves unlike ever before.
 
Even now, I hadn’t let go of her shoulder, and Reina was resting against mine.
 
Could it be that after being confessed to by two women, my latent romantic abilities had been unleashed…?!
 
“Is it because Mashiro confessed to you last night?”
 
“…?! H-How did you know…?”
 
“I think you’re the only one who didn’t realize it was obvious, Ouga.”
 
“…Was it really that clear?”
 
“Yes, very much so. I thought it was charmingly naive of you.”
 
Reina giggled, seeing me deflate.
 
“Ah, I see. So that’s why you’re boldly claiming me too…”
 
“Stop with that malicious interpretation.”
 
“Hehe, I’m just joking.”
 
“When you say it, Reina, it doesn’t sound like a joke…”
 
“Oh my, has it been found out?”
 
“Huh? Whoa…?!”
 
Catching me off guard, Reina pulled my arm and we tumbled onto the sofa.
 
Her strength was far greater than her delicate arms suggested, leaving me sprawled on top of her.
 
“Actually, I was planning on being claimed by you today, Ouga.”
 
“…Are you serious?”
 
“I wouldn’t joke about something like this. As proof, look… I’m not wearing anything underneath today.”
 
She began lifting her clothes.
 
Where there should have been a bra, there was nothing – even the machinery embedded in her body was exposed.
 
Her smooth skin was revealed, with a slender waist clearly visible.
 
The small dimple at its center was cute too.
 
“…You’re a pervert, aren’t you Ouga? Normally, seeing such machinery would be a turn-off.”
 
“…Reina? Could you not press your knee there?”
 
“But I’m glad you’re a pervert. Just confirming that was worth it for me.”
 
I received a scolding for staring too intently… but there was no contempt in her voice.
 
Rather, it seemed to carry a hint of joy.
 
“…What do you mean by that…?”
 
“…Ouga, you’re the king of obliviousness. I thought you’d understand if I said this much… No, I’m equally guilty for not being clear.”
 
Reina muttered complaints with an undisguised expression of dissatisfaction.
 
Meanwhile, as I regained my composure, I realized there was an important matter I needed to tell her.
 
“…Reina. This isn’t really the position to discuss this, but… would you listen for a moment?”
 
“…What is it?”
 
“To put it simply, there might be a way to heal your body.”
 
“—There’s no need to heal it.”
 
An immediate answer, as if she had long since decided.
 
There was no hesitation or doubt in her eyes.
 
“…Knowing you, Ouga, I figured you’d been asking Encartón’s engineers about my body.”
 
That’s correct. I had been asking Yueri about the possibility of treatment for Reina’s body – of course, without mentioning Reina’s name.
 
The conclusion was that by gradually replacing the current implants with new magical devices functioning as organs, her body could slowly be restored to its original state.
 
I know that due to Flone’s modifications, even the types of clothes she can wear are limited.
 
I’m also aware that she refuses help from our house servants when changing.
 
Above all, those machines might cause her to recall her past with Flone.
 
After all the abnormality she’s experienced, I want Reina to enjoy a normal life.
 
However, this is merely my own ego.
 
That’s why I wanted to confirm her wishes… but if she says there’s no need to heal it, then this conversation ends here.
 
“But I want to be of use to you, Ouga. For that purpose, I’ll use any power available to me. Even if it’s power given by that person.”
 
“Reina…”
 
“Besides… if I can use my power to foil her plans even a little… wouldn’t that be quite satisfying?”
 
As she said this with a defiant smile, I could no longer sense any curse from Flone lingering over her.
 
“You were probably worried that I’d prefer a beautiful body… but that’s completely unnecessary now.”
 
“…So we’re back to that topic.”
 
“Yes, because it’s very important to me.”
 
Saying this, she placed her index finger on her lips – then touched it to mine.
 
“I love you, Ouga.”
 
Reina spoke words of love with a bright red face and a gentle smile.
 
There was no longer any need for her to support her cheeks with her fingers.
 
On the other hand, with her finger pressing against my lips, I couldn’t reply again.
 
…No, this was probably her way of expressing that a response wasn’t necessary right now.
 
Seemingly judging that I had properly understood the meaning, Reina gently removed her index finger.
 
“…Confessing one’s feelings takes more courage than expected.”
 
“…You didn’t seem to hesitate much with the kiss though?”
 
“…Well, that was my second kiss with Ouga.”
 
“…When did the first…?!”
 
She never told me about this phantom first time that I was unaware of.

The next day, still not fully recovered from the excitement of my date with Reina. Of course, today is another date.
 
Some might think we lack tension before the battle with Flone, but we’re not machines.
 
We’re living humans. If we stay tense every day, our minds will break down first.
 
Rather, my mindset is that we should enjoy ourselves when we can…
 
After two days in a row, even I realized that they must have discussed and planned these dates, each deciding to confess.
 
To think we were all in a state of mutual unrequited love…
 
Just as I had decided to convey my feelings before the battle with Flone, they must have wanted to progress our relationships in their own way.
 
Confessed to by Mashiro, confessed to by Reina… Karen will probably confess too.
 
And today’s partner was someone who had already confessed her love to me.
 
However, it seems she has some preparations to make, so we’re meeting outside.
 
Looking forward to her surprise, I was kicked out of the room and found myself with some free time. I decided to head to the Luludahn Workshop to check on the progress of my prosthetic arm.
 
After giving Yueri’s name at the reception, I was shown to a private room where I waited for her while drinking tea.
 
“Sorry to keep you waiting, boy!”
 
My high-spirited appointment arrived. Still in her usual tank top, but today she had her work clothes tied around her waist.
 
Yueri flung open the door dramatically and entered, immediately downing her tea in one gulp.
 
“Hot!!”
 
“Calm down.”
 
“When I get absorbed in work, I tend to neglect everything else… That’s how focused I’ve been on making your prosthetic, so forgive me. You could even praise me for it, you know?”
 
“I’m grateful for that. …So, how’s the important progress coming along?”
 
“That’s it! That’s what I wanted to show you! You came at just the right time! The first prototype is ready! Come and see!”
 
I never expected a prototype to be completed so quickly… The reason I was kept waiting must have been because she was working until the last minute to show this to me on my sudden visit.
 
She wheeled in a cart from the workshop.
 
“Here it is, meeting all the specs you asked for. I call it Dragon-Banisher Mark I!”
 
“Wow…!”
 
What appeared was a sleek, black metal body with a single red line on each side, giving it a weighty presence.
 
The name is terrible, but it looks very cool.
 
“I don’t know how strong your magic is, boy, so I first made it with the same materials as regular magical tools, without mixing in magic stones. Even so, I’ve set it to a high level of durability.”
 
Encouraged to pick it up, I lift the prosthetic, finding it surprisingly light for its appearance.
 
“…I’m honestly surprised. I didn’t expect to see something so complete today.”
 
“Hehe, how about that? Have you gained a new appreciation for me?”
 
“I never underestimated you in the first place.”
 
“You say such nice things, boy. So, what do you think? Based on what you told me, I made it lighter than your current right arm so it won’t slow you down. Your main style is hand-to-hand combat, right?”
 
“…Indeed, this should allow for faster movement. But the lack of weight might reduce the damage dealt when attacking.”
 
“Considering that concern, I added iron protrusions to the fist part. By reducing the contact area when you punch, the force won’t be dispersed. Calculations show it should hit harder than your original punches.”
 
As proof, she placed a pitch-black glass plate on the table.
 
“What’s this?”
