( Arata's POV )
After the sudden awakening of my powers and some of my memories my body was exhausted.
It seemed like no more enemies were going to show up so Sagiri sat down and put my head on her lap giving me the best rest I could get.
Sagiri had my gaze fixed on the front, she probably didn't want me to see the expression she had on her face, before I thought that Sagiri resented me for living a quiet life being protected while she had to train from a very young age but that was not the case.
The words she said before made me think that she was worried that I wanted to get out of that sheltered life, I think Urara was very aware of this too.
Sagiri: ...Did you recover your memories?
Arata: Part of them, but how did you know?
Sagiri: My grandmother had a theory that after the incident, your memories were sealed along with your powers.
Arata: That makes sense, listen, obviously I don't know much about the world I'm entering, but I'm not going back to my old life without Sun and you in it.
I turned my head to look at Sagiri and I was somewhat surprised, she was blushing and had a cute smile on her face, completely different from her tough attitude from before.
Sagiri: idiot, you're as insistent as ever.
Urara: Everyone okay? You're not answering my call.
It seems that Sagiri and I were very caught up in our moment and when Urara appeared worried that we weren't she responded, But she put on a playful smile when she saw the position we were in, Sagiri got a little upset and she pushed me from her lap to the cold ground.
Urara: eeh I'm interrupting something~
Sagiri: n-no, The mission is accomplished and we were resting before returning, right?
Sagiri used an excuse that Urara didn't believe at all and she asked me to support what she was saying, but when I looked up at Sagiri, all I could think about was her sexy ninja outfit, which was now even more tentative with some torn parts.
Arata: Sagiri, you have an incredible figure.
Sagiri was surprised by what I said for a moment before growling at me with a blushing face, she threw a punch at my head and I returned to the land of unconsciousness once more.
////////////////
When Sagiri knocked me out I appeared in the familiar white space, the katana I used in the previous battle was stuck on the ground and balanced perfectly on it was a girl with long blue hair that covered one of her red eyes, wearing a white dress.
It was normal for me to dream about girls when I appear in this place, but the obvious difference was that I was sure this was the first time I had seen this girl, she must be the owner of the voice I've been hearing these days.
Arata: If you're going to bring me here every time, you could at least tell me your name.
???: I'm not the one bringing you here, you're the one coming in but if you must know, my name is Asuramaru, the one with whom you formed a pact all those years ago.
Arata: A pact, you sound like some kind of demon.
Asuramaru: That's exactly what I am.
Arata: Oh, do you have any tips on how to control my powers?
Asuramaru: ...you're too calm.
Arata: You want me to panic? You've been inside me for a decade, and you saved me back there, that's not exactly something that terrifies me.
Asuramar : I've been sleeping for a while, maybe I'll try to take control of your body now that I've woken up.
Arata: Are you...going to do that?
Asuramaru: If I were to do it, I wouldn't be warning you, besides, if I move too much, she might wake up too.
Arata: she? Who are you talking about?
Asuramaru: You will know in due time, I would prefer that you stay out of danger but that does not depend on any of us, the girls around you can give you the training you want, I'm going to sleep for a while, so try to stay alive.
Arata: Wait, what if I need your help?
Asuramaru: You learn to call on my power without my help, and stop dreaming about so many girls.
With Asuramaru's last words I closed and opened my eyes to leave the white world, and I appeared on my bed and I began to growl in annoyance, my muscles were a little numb, but what bothered me most was that after everything that happened the other day, I still had to go to school.
As I left the house I saw Sun and Sagiri waiting for me, I thought she was going to skip walking with me after what happened yesterday but even though she was here she hadn't completely forgiven me either, when I greeted the two of them Sagiri turned her head to the other side.
Sun: Arata, Sagiri told me what happened the other night.
Arata: You know, I can explain that.
With Sagiri not wanting to talk, I was depending on Sun to fix the vibe between us but I got defensive when she mentioned the other night but it seems Sagiri didn't give her all the details.
Sun: I know you want to prove that you don't need to be protected, but don't leave me aside, we are future husband and wife. This is the kind of thing we must face together.
Sun's honest feelings left me speechless, and the three of us were affected by her words, we blushed hard and as we walked Sun slipped her hand into mine and while Sagiri was looking away she took my other hand.
We walked like that without saying anything until we got close to where Chisaki was waiting for us, she didn't see us holding hands but I think she could sense that something had happened, We've known each other for a long time, I can see when she's hiding something, and she can see the same in me, I want to tell her the truth, but I don't know when the best time is for that.
