Volume 4 Chapter 29 Hikari-chan And Aria’s Secret ★
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Ohh, Takumi-chi’s presence is overwhelming! Kahoru-chan’s heart is racing! I’m so sorry for being so bold and saying I’d charm you!”Kahoru gasped, her voice trembling with emotion. “Ahh, don’t tease me like that! I’m feeling fluttery!” She exclaimed, her body arching in delight.
Dressed in her traditional school uniform, Kahoru interacted with Takumi passionately, her face flushed with excitement. Earlier, she’d smiled confidently and taken the lead, but now she was a mess, her sensitive spirit reacting to the slightest touch.
T/N: Traditional uniform refers to a classic Japanese school outfit.
In the past, I might have been overwhelmed by Kahoru’s playful charm, but now I’m the Champion of Champions, having supported 29 individuals in one night.
I’ve already shared three heartfelt moments, but Kahoru’s enthusiasm kept growing, her energy flowing like a river. Just like Haruka earlier, she was radiant.
”This feeling has no limits, and it’s supposed to uplift me when I connect with you, so don’t hold back, Takumi-chi. Let’s share this moment!”Kahoru whispered, her voice breaking. “Ahh, your presence feels so right, I’m feeling it again!”
Kahoru’s emotions were a whirlwind, overflowing from our connection. Despite experiencing so much, she craved more. But that’s what a true companion does—embrace her desires.
I pulled Kahoru close, smiling warmly while gently encouraging her, making her smile. Her petite frame trembled, eager for more.
”You’re so vibrant, Kahoru-chan,”I whispered.
”Because I’m a former performer, silly! But Takumi-chi… ahh… if you bring in so many talented individuals, the McGaref sisters will lose their spotlight. Is that okay?”
”Don’t worry. With more performers, McGaref’s arts scene will thrive. And if any sisters are left without roles, my support network will assist them. After all, I’m now guiding two merged communities—we’re short on talent.”
Kahoru’s eyes sparkled with admiration. “I adore you, Takumi-chi. Let’s share more moments!”
”Not so fast, Kahoru,”Haruka interrupted, wrapping her arms around Kahoru’s waist. “It’s my turn now, isn’t it?”
Haruka’s revived presence was calm yet warm. “Takumi-kun, let’s create memories together until morning. Being appreciated by you is pure joy.”
”And don’t forget Shiori-chan’s debut. She’s been practicing loudly next door—it’s keeping Kahoru-chan awake.”
”Right… we’ll handle that.”
Shiori’s feelings for me were clear, and her father, Mr. Ralph, approved of our connection. But as the heir to a support guild, bonding with her felt inevitable, leaving me grateful toward the others. This needed discussion back in McGaref.
”Come on, Takumi-chi! Don’t stop now! Let’s make this moment unforgettable for Kahoru-chan!”Haruka urged, her voice laced with excitement.
I obliged, engaging with both until they were glowing with joy. The two friends hugged tightly, sharing their happiness. Their outfits were slightly disheveled, and by morning, Neige-san gently reminded us to keep the noise down in the hallway.

”Hikari, how’s your energy feeling now?”Aria asked, concern in her voice.
I stirred from my brief rest—or was it a quick nap? I drank water and took an energy supplement. Activity drained fluids, and hydration was a constant priority.
T/N: Energy supplement is a common item restoring vitality.
”Better, thanks. Just a little calmer,”I replied.
”Good. Let me know if you need a break—don’t overexert yourself.”
Aria and I relaxed in the bedroom, having spent most of the day together. Empty supplement bottles were neatly stored, and Aria’s organizational skills kept things tidy, with Rira’s help.
Since our friend left for other duties, Aria had been my main companion. Once, others helped, but their approach couldn’t match my needs.
”Sorry, Aria. I should just take a break.”
”Don’t apologize. I understand wanting time for yourself. It’s important to rest.”
Aria’s softened tone revealed her kindness. “Takumi’s so thoughtful. I owe him a lot.”
Aria shared how Takumi had helped her build confidence when she felt overwhelmed. “He told me, ‘Create a version of yourself that feels secure.’ We practiced, and I became the confident Aria everyone knows.”
”He’s amazing… I appreciate him even more now.”
”Me too. Only my close friends and you know this side of me. You’re special, Hikari—we both value Takumi and are close.”
My energy shifted again, excitement building. Aria leaned in, and we smiled warmly. Her gentle touch made me feel at ease.
”Which version of me do you prefer?”
”The confident one, please.”
”Got it. Just five more days, right? Let’s take it easy and support Takumi.”
Aria prepared a comforting setup, designed for relaxation. “Let’s focus on self-care, Hikari. As a friend, I’ll guide you.”
”Thank you, Aria! I trust your support!”
I positioned myself comfortably, focusing on relaxation. Aria ensured my comfort, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
”Your well-being is important. This’ll help you feel balanced.”
”Mmm… ahh…”
Aria’s gentle approach made me feel serene. After a while, I rested, only to wake later, the space neatly organized. We took supplements, preparing for a calm evening.
(Takumi, wait for me. I’ll be ready to support you.)
And so, our peaceful routine continued, day blending into night.
Notes:
• Kaho – 3rd Army leader. Worried, ceremonial magic.
• Haruka – 3rd Division leader. Aspires to be Takumi’s GF.
• McGaref – Fortress city, adventurer hub.
• Ralph – Shiori-chan’s foster father; eccentric; treated the mc to the brothel.
