“Of course, you might not have sent me straight to the temple, but I thought… I thought you’d hate me because I wasn’t upholding my duties.”

He didn’t answer. She must be right.

“Paul, Noah, my grandmother and even my parents… None of them know that I have any magical power. I hid it really, really carefully.”

“…Then, the first time you’re telling this to someone is to me?”

“Yes.”

The same moment Reina answered unhesitatingly, Ethan’s expression relaxed a little.

However, he still couldn’t bring himself to smile. Reina nearly died.

“Ethan. That’s why I had no idea that my abilities were that big of a deal, and I also didn’t know what things I needed to do to handle them better.”

Explaining this while waving her hand slightly, Reina tried to make eye contact with Ethan.

“So don’t be angry anymore, okay? And please help me. I need someone who fully understands my power. And that someone… has to be you, Ethan. I hope it can be you.”

Her words were genuine.

Was there anyone else other than him who’d be as versed in magical power and divine power? Was there anyone else who’d be able to look at this uncommon situation without any prejudice?

“I couldn’t tell you because I was scared. You know that now, right?”

Twitch—

The corners of his lips twitched slightly.

Tactfully recognizing that as a signal, Reina looked deeper into his eyes while continuing to speak in a softer manner.

“Ethan… I don’t want it to be anyone else.”

Twitch, twitch—

His lips quivered slightly once more, as if he was trying to hide the smile that was definitely about to appear at any given moment.

“You’re the only one who can do it, Ethan. And the only one I want for this is you. Can’t you please?”

Eventually, he couldn’t resist anymore. He let out a momentary burst of laughter that sounded like a sigh.

“I see.”

His expression had been stern all this time, but he finally relaxed.

Quickly catching onto his change in mood, Reina patted the back of his hands and spoke with a more light-hearted tone.

“You’re not mad anymore, right?”

In the end, his smile could no longer be hidden.

“How can I ever be mad at you, Reina?”

Excuse me? Who’s the one frantically expressing his anger until just now?

“Ethan. Then, is it okay if I keep letting them think I’m a saintess?”

This was what she had been worried about all along. With a wide grin on his lips as though this was of no concern at all, he strode up to the bed.

“They won’t accept medical science without that kind of excuse anyway.”

Contrary to her anxious thoughts, Ethan had been thinking about the same thing as Reina.

“I was worried that you’d stop me because using this method is no different from misleading people.”

“If I hadn’t heard of the conflict you’ve had with them, I might have stuck to the standard way of handling this.”

“Ah… As expected.”

“Still, if we think about this optimistically, you now have Utta’s backing, and you can use that to make them understand.”

“I’m glad we’re on the same page.”

Without Ethan’s support, she would have been so lost.

“But Ethan.”

“Yes, Reina?”

Before Reina knew it, Ethan had already crept into the bed, and he looked ready to embrace her. She looked up at him pointedly.

“Why are you on the bed?”

Rather than answering her query, he merely tilted his head to the side as though what she asked was strange.

“You haven’t recovered from releasing too much divine power yet, so your body’s condition is still extremely weak.”

Um… So, which country in this world thinks this is common sense?

“…Then right now, I’m weak, so you’ll hold me… that’s what you’re saying?”

“Yes.”

Ethan shrugged nonchalantly as though he could find not a single error in the sentence she had just uttered.

With how naturally he’s taking this in stride, it would be even more awkward to point it out further.

“Aha… I get it…”

He must have noticed that her confusion had still not disappeared. Ethan took the initiative to explain it more.

“There’s a limit to healing when contact is limited to just hands. Usually, there’s no need to pour in so much healing power that holding hands wouldn’t be enough, but right now, you must absorb as much healing power as possible.”

“……”

Ah… So it’s not just a trick? But I made all that fuss?

Reina became slightly embarrassed that she had jumped to conclusions like that. But, well, considering how Ethan was acting, she couldn’t help but think that.

Avoiding eye contact now, Reina wordlessly nuzzled into his chest.

“Yep. This really makes me feel like I’m getting healed.”

As she muttered this, Ethan let out a small chuckle, which rumbled through his chest and tickled her ears.

“Reina.”

Ethan gently pulled away from the woman leaning on his chest, then he looked into her eyes.

“Healing power can only be fully transmitted when bare skin meets bare skin. And I haven’t even conjured my healing power yet.”

No, but… How could you forget to say that first…

“Ahem… uh… I made a mistake. It must be because you’re so warm.”

Reina pursed her lips and turned her eyes to the ceiling. In the end, Ethan burst into a peal of laughter.

“I guess so. You’ve got a particularly cold body.”

“…Yes, that’s right. I don’t understand why I’m still so cold when it’s the middle of the summer.”

When the embarrassed Reina responded in an exaggerated manner, Ethan’s eyes curved into arcs.

“Just as you said before, Reina, it seems like heaven itself really has destined us to be a match. Because I’m hot.”

Somehow or another, this man was getting more sly by the day.

‘But… This is a lot better than when you were changing your attitude as if you’ve gone senile.’

Reina said nothing back and leaned her forehead against his chest again. Seeing this, Ethan chuckled as though he thought she’s so loveable that he could die.

And soon after, he reached up to the buttons of his shirt starting from his collar, then one by one, started unclasping them… huh?

‘W-W-Wait a damn minute. What… What are you doing?’

As someone who had never been in a romantic relationship in all her life, Reina froze like a tub of yogurt in a freezer.

On the other hand, Ethan… looked so very used to unbuttoning his shirt.
