It Seems Like My Body Is Completely Invincible - Chapter 7

For a brief while the onlookers gaze, as if they were appreciating fine art, at the scene of the gold-haired bishounen holding the silver-haired girl in his arms.

But in reality I, the person in question,  was…

(Aaaaahh! What now, what now! If I push his arms off me then I’ll blow up the prince! Right now there’s no way I can use anything but 100% of my poweeeeer!)

…In a complete panic.

“You’re shaking… You don’t have to be so nervous, my charming pure white princess.”

(Eh???)

“Come, take my hand… I’ll turn that tension into sweet heart-throbbing.”

(What is this seven-year-old sayiiiiing!? Spitting out that kind of embarrassing words with an eloquent smile on his face like it was nothiiiing!!!)

The panic of screwing things up gets taken over by the shame and amusement from his embarrassing remarks. I’m about to burst into laughter so I quickly move my face away from him and hold it in.

“Ah, you’re a shy one. How lovely.”

(Sssstoooooooppp iiiiiittt! I’ll laugh! I’ll really laaaaugh! I’ll commit a lese majesty! What is this seven-year-old, is he for real? He really wants to make me laugh!)

Because I’m looking downwards and desperately holding in laughter my body trembles bit by bit. My face is probably flushed too from holding it in.

“My prince… Our time is…”

Behind, one of the knights attending him comes back to their senses and speaks to the prince.

“You’re right, I’m reluctant to part with her though.”

The prince reluctantly separates from me, and at that moment smoothly runs his fingers through a wisp of my hair. As if he was regretful abut parting with me until the very end… I don’t need a display like that!

Well, he might seem cool to some. But for the (mentally) 20+-year-old adult me, I couldn’t see it as anything but a child trying his hardest to act like an adult. And so the whole time I could only keep my head down with all my might so as not to show him a rude expression because of his actions.

Thinking that everyone probably found his actions off-putting like me, I take a sly glance at the surroundings when the prince lets me go. Wait, aren’t all of the girls looking at the prince with dreamy looks on their faces?

(It can’t beeeee! I’m the one who’s weird?)

I’m slightly shocked and unsteadily take a step backwards, when Tytte holds me steady.

“Are you alright? Ojousama?”

“Y-yes…I’m fine. More importantly, I accidentally did something rude to the prince. Oh no, I just hope that I didn’t hurt his feelings.”

“Is that so? It looked like a sweet moment between a sparkling couple to me, though… Before I knew it I ended up getting charmed myself.”

Tytte has a look on her face as entranced as all the other girls.

(Un-be-liev-a-ble… and I thought at least Tytte would be like me.)

“Ooooooooh!”

Around me, who had received a double shock, voices of amazement cry out. Wondering what’s up, I look towards the pedestal and there the prince is shining with light.

Or more accurately, the light is coming from the crystal in front of the prince, but it’s so bright that it looks like he is emitting the light.

As expected of a prince, the intensity of his light and colors are incomparable to those of the other children’s, which I saw before.

The spectacle makes it truly feel like he’s one chosen by god. Since his looks were already perfect he matches the scene perfectly, and even I end up looking fascinatedly and thinking that he’s cool.

After a moment, the prince turns around and comes down from the pedestal. This time, so as not to be in his way, I’ve had Tytte evacuate me to a corner.

The prince looks around himself as if looking for something so I immediately hide behind Tytte.

My main fear is that he’s got something to say about the mistake I made just now.  But after a few seconds, the prince doesn’t do anything and leaves along his attendants. The strained atmosphere that had controlled the room calms down.

“Well, let’s continue. Marie-sama, to the front.”

“Y-y-yesshh.”

The moment I relax, my name gets called and I reflexively reply with a shaky voice. I hear giggling voices, but I’ve got no time to worry about that as I hurry to the pedestal.

(After the prince, huh~… But I kind of don’t wanna do it after that kind of an amazing display. If I get a shoddy light, I’ll cry.)

I hang my head down, but still reach for the crystal.

And in an instant, my surroundings are blanketed in a white pure enough to blind me.

⁂

“It’s been a while, girl from a different world.”

I hear a voice in the pure white world.

(This voice, it’s from that time! As I thought, it was god.)

“None other. How do thee like it? Thy new world?”

I get amazed that we can hold a conversation despite me not speaking aloud, but… It’s god, is my convenient explanation that I immediately accept.

I look around me once again, and I can feel the sensation of someone existing in front of me in this world of pure white that spans all over.

“Yes! It’s sort of like the worlds in the games that I used to like, so it’s fun.”

“I see, I see. I’m glad that I granted thy wish.”

“My wish? Did I make a wish like ‘I wanna be in a world of swords and sorcery~’?”

Did I wish for that? I wonder and dig through the memories of my past life, but while I do remember thinking that the game worlds are nice, I don’t remember wishing for one.

“No, this was my own decision. Since it seemed like in thy previous life thee liked this kind of a world.”

“Thank you very much. What was my wish then?”

It’s a little rude to ask about my own wish, but since I really do not remember I decided to just try asking meekly.

“Thee said thee wished to be reborn in a healthy body that absolutely won’t be be defeated by anything.”

That line brings forth the memory of the thought I had when I was on the verge of drawing my last breath. I feel like I did indeed wish for something like that.

“However, since this is a world of swords and sorcery, rampant monsters, and perils that are told about in heroic tales, I really busted my back making a body that absolutely won’t be defeated by anything.”

“Eh…”

Color pales from my face and cold sweat begins to drip down my back.

“For example, since I didn’t know just what would happen to thy body, to make thee undefeatable by everything I adjusted thy basic attributes all the way to the highest level in this world. With that, offensive strength, defensive strength, agility, all values relating to thy body became unmatched by anything.”

“Eh, ah…yes…thank you very much.”

“However, since magic exists in this world and thee might happen to be defeated by it, I also made thy magical power unmatched by anything. As the total amount of usable magical power defines which ranks of magic one can cast in this world, thy can as a result use magic of every rank.”

“Eh, ah…yes…thank you very much.”

“No no, despite that I felt a little worried, so I took the occasion to grant thee a passive skill that nullifies all physical magic attacks against thee. With that, I think I made thee a perfectly invincible body that absolutely won’t be defeated whether it be a dragon, a demon king, or a natural disaster.”

“Eh, ah…yes…thank you very much.”

All of my brain is focused in the way-too-shocking news, and even when I try my hardest I can only keep on giving absentminded responses.

“Umu, umu, I see, I see. Well then, I have a great life from now on. I grant my blessing to thy chosen path.”

They say, and the voice becomes more distant.

I could do nothing but be the very picture of dumbfounded as I stand there stock still.

Then I quickly come back from the world of pure white, and the all-too-shocking information makes my mind follow suite, and I completely lose consciousness.

Oh dear me, it seems like my body became undefeatable and completely invincible, no matter what the enemy is.
