◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

The sun god of 180 million degrees descended to earth accompanied by a typhoon. The only reason anything could survive its power – which burned and scattered everything around it – was thanks to the barrier laid down in advance.

“Wow- w-woooow… I didn’t expect it to be this powerful…”

Even though she had magic that could make all attacks miss her, Evangeline couldn’t help but tremble at its terrifying power.

She stared intently at the section of forest that had completely vanished without leaving even ashes behind, despite having laid down the barrier.

Though a portion was gone, it was minimal damage compared to expecting the entire forest to burn down.

“But… she must be dead, right? Yes, since I can’t see her anywhere she must be dead…”

Not seeing the Fire Witch anywhere, Evangeline assumed she had died. Even if she hadn’t died, knowing there was a witch here capable of such magic would keep her from ever daring to come near again.

Convinced of this, Evangeline approached Fenrir, who had fainted from the explosion, to wake him.

[…Master, what exactly did you do?]

“Hm? Why?”

[This magic- I’ve never seen anything like it in all my life. Perhaps only the breath of dragons in legends had such power…]

Fenrir wondered what exactly Evangeline had done as he said this. Hearing his words, Evangeline thought silently for a moment before answering simply:

“The power of love?”

[…What’s that supposed to mean.]

“If you don’t understand, that’s fine. Aah, I miss Johan. Why did I tell him to come tomorrow, I should have told him to come back today…”

Whether Fenrir was exasperated by her nonsensical answer or not, Evangeline thought of Johan who must be in the city by now and longed for him.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

“Hah, haah…!”

The Fire Witch, who had been caught in the intense nuclear explosion but somehow survived despite taking a direct hit, dazedly recalled what had just happened to her.

Something like the sun itself had risen – something impossible to imagine another witch creating.

“What was that…”

Her brain refused to recall what had happened to her. The shock had been so immense that her mind resisted remembering, fearing it might break under the stress.

Nevertheless, the Fire Witch succeeded in remembering, recalling the nuclear explosion that had mercilessly burned everything.

Befitting the Fire Witch, she became able to recreate the same nuclear explosion she had experienced.

“Ha, haha-! With this…!”

She no longer needed to fear holy knights or witches. She could burn the entire world as she wished.

She could make all humans feel the same pain and terror she had felt.

“Everything will burn-”

Slash!

Just as she thought about burning everything, the Fire Witch realized a cold blade had passed through her neck. But by the time she realized this, her head was already floating in the air, and she stared with a dazed expression at the one who had beheaded her.

A red-haired holy knight. The witch’s eyes took in that face as she died.

Elicis, who had beheaded the witch, panted heavily for a moment before realizing the witch wasn’t moving at all.

“Is… is she dead?”

Realizing her target had completely lost her life, Elicis took out a bag from her pocket and carefully collected the severed head.

Just as she secured the head, other rookie holy knights who had followed behind came running up.

“Lady Elicis! What was that sound just now…”

“This is…”

Seeing the headless corpse, they realized Elicis had accomplished something. Watching her silently store the head in the bag, they realized the corpse must be a witch.

The holy knights exclaimed in amazement that she had hunted a witch alone without them.

“A-amazing! How did you manage alone…”

“Surely it was by God’s grace.”

“Then let us return!”

If there had been more experienced holy knights or army troops present, there would have been those trying to take credit for Elicis’s achievement.

But everyone here now was a holy knight newly appointed this year. Noble knights who had earned their positions through overflowing faith and hatred of witches alone.

They showed no greed for Elicis’s accomplishment, satisfied simply with the fact that they could return now and that a witch had been killed.

“Yes, let’s go back.”

Elicis said this as she stood up holding the head. Though leaving the remaining body behind wouldn’t be a problem, other holy knights who insisted even a witch’s corpse should be cremated picked up the body themselves.

And so the rookies who had been pushed around by their seniors returned with the achievement of killing a witch.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

Though Master had said to return after a day had passed, I pestered Marguerite to return to the mansion as soon as I thought enough time had elapsed.

“Master!”

“Johan!”

As if she had been planning to stay awake until I returned, Master had been sitting blankly in the living room letting time pass.

Seeing my face, Master smiled brightly and ran to nuzzle her head against my chest.

“Johan, Johan… why did you come back so early? Hmm? I told you to come tomorrow.”

“Do you dislike that?”

“No! I like it. But… what if I had still been fighting?”

“I heard rumors. Rumors about seeing a huge mushroom cloud over this forest.”

Having confirmed such rumors were circulating in the city where I was staying, I realized Master had attempted the nuclear fusion I had taught her about.

And I thought no one, whoever they were, could survive taking a nuclear blast. Marguerite, who had directly witnessed the power of nuclear fusion at the beach, agreed with this, so we returned as soon as the date changed.

“Mmm-! Well done! If you were that certain…”

“Master, are you hurt anywhere?”

“Johan, what do you take your Master for? Your Master…”

Master, who was about to say she was fine, suddenly fell silent and chewed her lip thoughtfully.

After muttering something to herself for a while, she carefully touched her cheek and spoke:

“W-well… I might be a tiny bit hurt. Just a tiiiny bit.”

“What!? Where? Where are you hurt…”

“Here…”

Evangeline said this while tapping her cheek. I moved closer to look at her face and realized there wasn’t even a blemish, let alone an injury.

As her face grew redder the closer I got, just as I was starting to feel something was strange – Evangeline explained the treatment method.

“I-it’s not a big wound, so I think applying saliva would heal it. But, since my tongue can’t reach, could you apply it for me, Johan…?”

“…Ah, Master.”

“I-if you don’t want to, you don’t have to! Really, it’s such a tiny scratch you can’t even see it!”

Only then did I understand what she wanted. She was seeking a medal for her victory.

It was a trivial reward for capturing a witch who had mercilessly slaughtered humans. Just asking for a kiss on the cheek…

But if that’s what she wanted, I could certainly give it to her. I nodded in agreement and moved closer to her cheek.

I could feel Evangeline squeezing her eyes shut. Her already red face grew even redder until it looked like a radish.

As my face came within inches of hers, I realized I had never kissed her before.

‘Wait, how is that possible? When we’ve even done that kind of thing…’

But it was true. I realized this would be my first time kissing not just her, but any woman in my life, and my face started turning red too.

And so even though I had come within 1cm of her face, I couldn’t take that final step – until I gathered my courage and moved in like a man.

With a soft “chu” sound, my lips met Evangeline’s cheek. Her cheek, which looked soft even from the outside, was even softer than it appeared. Like the skin of a newborn baby that I’d rarely touched…

“M-Master?”

After the kiss, I carefully pulled back and called out to her. But Evangeline, who had received the kiss, remained motionless with her eyes closed.

Feeling something was wrong, I gently poked her – and Evangeline collapsed in that same position with her eyes still closed.

After somehow catching her before she hit the floor, I carefully checked her condition.

“What, what’s going on!? What’s wrong with her?”

“She… she fainted.”

“What? No way- from just one little kiss…!”

Ignoring Marguerite’s incredulous laughter behind me, I carried Master toward her room.

Though Marguerite couldn’t understand why Master had fainted, I could understand completely. When experiencing something you never imagined possible, the shock can be unimaginable.

My heart was also pounding like it might burst, having never imagined I would kiss such a beautiful woman.

‘Damn, I feel like I might finish just from one kiss…’

After watching Master for a moment, I sighed and left her room. If I stayed any longer I felt I might do something inappropriate.

Finally back in my room, I let out a heavy sigh. My heart was still pounding, and my erection hadn’t subsided… but I had no desire to relieve mere sexual urges.

“…How can I become stronger?”

I wanted to protect Master with my own power. Not run away helplessly like this time, but fight alongside Master and, beyond that, protect her unilaterally.

But I didn’t know how to do that. I was just a regular person who had awakened some mana, with no combat skills.

Thinking I should at least start exercising, I got down and began doing push-ups right there. Though I probably wouldn’t tire even doing them all night, it was better than just sitting around doing nothing…
