Chapter 624: Id Like to Know What Kind of Power It Has (2/2)

Thinking about this, it reminded me of Shiro-san's ordeal…… I don't know the details of that ordeal yet, so I can't say for sure if I would need it, but it wouldn't hurt to be prepared. Besides, I'm interested in the Heart Tool too……

With that in mind, I touched Alice's Ἑκατόγχειρες…… one of the shining meteors around her, and for a moment, I felt something pulsating deep inside my body.

[……How is it, Kaito-san?]

[Errr, just now…… I kind of feel like there's something pulsating deep inside my body, but I don't feel anything now.]

[……It seems like it worked without a problem huh.]

[Eh? Does that mean there's a Heart Tool within me now?]

[Yes…… It was indeed summoned within you, but it would still be unknown when it would awaken. Some people have Heart Tools awakening right after they were summoned, some take years to awaken, and there are even a few people who had their Heart Tools summoned but never managed to awaken it.]

[……I see.]

[The name of your Heart Tool and its ability will suddenly come to your mind at some point. That would also mean your Heart Tool has awakened.]

It's a shame that I don't know what kind of power it is right away, nor do I know if it will be awakened before Shiro-san's ordeal arrives. However, I'm looking forward to it.

[Now then, enough of the serious mode, let's have some tea!]

[You're being abrupt again……]

[Now, now, I'm going to prepare our tea, so Kaito-san, please prepare something for us to eat!]

[……You're naturally making me serve you food huh…… Well, I have some prepared.]

[It's all you can eat, right!? Thank yo——— Gyaaahhn!?]

I let out a sigh when I saw that Alice had returned to her usual goofing around mode without explaining why she taught me how to use a Heart Tool. Well, I trust Alice, so I'm sure she has her own reason for not telling me why, so I guess let's just not question it.

After thinking about this, I let out another sigh and took out more teacakes from my magic box.

Dear Mom, Dad————— Without really understanding the reason why, the power of the Heart Tool was placed within my heart. I'm not sure when it will wake up, but I'd like it if it awakens soon—————– for I'd like to know what kind of power it has.

While preparing tea for Kaito, Alice talked to Iris within her mind.

(……As expected of Kaito-san's Heart Tool…… It's quite a perfect match with my Ἑκατόγχειρες.)

(Even if it has some requirements needed to use it, it's still a powerful Heart Tool…… Moreover, it's quite the rare type. Also, it really is a great match for your Heart Tool.)

Kaito's Heart Tool hasn't awakened yet. However, it really does ”exist within Kaito's heart”. Then, if it's with Alice's Ἑκατόγχειρες, her power which allows her to use the power of the people with whom she had formed a bond with…… She can borrow the power of Kaito's Heart Tool.

Thus, Alice already knows the name and ability of the Heart Tool lying dormant within Kaito's heart.

(”Our main purpose is different”, but this is a pleasant miscalculation. Depending on the situation, this could be a trump card that could turn the side of the war…… To be honest though, I'm super happy with this effect that clearly shows that Kaito-san and I are the best couple. I really want to brag about this to the others.)

(……Leave the bragging for later.)

(Yes, yes. Well then, while we're having tea with Kaito-san, let's rethink our scheme, assuming that we could use this Heart Tool well.)

(Like I said, call it a strategy meeting instead…..)

While rejoicing at the trump card that they had unexpectedly obtained, Alice and Iris adjusted their battle plan for the decisive battle.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [Well~~ As expected, Kaito-san and Alice-chan really are the best couple! Even their hearts have great chemistry!!!]

Serious-senpai : [……So, in the end, what kind of Heart Tool does he have?]

? ? ? : [Whoa there, that info is still a secret. But perhaps, you can predict what it is. Here's a hint, it's a Heart Tool that's very like Kaito-san, and it's like a perfect match for Alice-chan's Ἑκατόγχειρες!!! I'll say this one more time because it's important! It's a perfect match!!!]

Serious-senpai : [……Something about your excitement kinda annoys me.]
