DON'T ASK ABOUT MY PAST

“No, I don’t need Kairo. But it needs a cooldown.”

“Huh? It doesn’t need Kairo Energy?!”

“No. It depends on 100% charge and recharge... Well, no one ever asked, except Kazuma. But I didn’t tell him either. I just said I can open it with quadrants, and if I want to reach an exact location, I have to pre-plan the symbol. I think that guy Haruki also uses the same method for sending contestants.”

“Huh! Well, I don’t care how you open it—I don’t have that power. But how many times can you use it?”

“I’m bad at math, she takes care of it for me. I get confused when other techniques are used... Of course, I don’t use other techniques. Well—I can use it 3 times at 100%.”

With confusion and annoyance – “Hey, I think he’s weird, but now I’m sure he’s got a screw loose. He’s crazy—thinking of his katana as his soulmate.”

– ‘...’

With a sigh  “Okay, but I have a doubt about the unofficial contract. Why did Kemuri ask Ikari if he could use it after 30 minutes?”

“Oh, I didn’t tell you, did I? In the fog, I wanted to ask the time by saying, ‘What’s the contract of wish?... time?’ But then I saw the scroll. He said sorry. I know it's random, but I wanted to confirm the exact contract time. I saw two timers—3 and 27. Three minutes for Kemuri. If Ikari’s body is present, he can block. Ikari has to listen, so we don’t get a chance to ask him to wait. Even if we do ask, he’ll say, ‘Okay, I’ll wait,’ because he can act after 27 minutes anyway.”

With a sigh  “I told my friend right?—he’s also my mentor. He told me, ‘I’ve never seen it exceed 30 minutes.’ It could be 2+8 or 5+24 or 1+29. It’s random. I don’t know how it works either.”

Continued with a gasp “I just saw the scroll and took three with me. Then, after a few minutes, I sent him into the dimension to stop the timer... I don’t know why they chose the second type, even though it has disadvantages. The first type is perfect.”

With a sigh, in an uncomfortable tone “Hey, if we get two days and don’t complete the task, does that mean the user can’t return for 48 years? Please don’t say that’s true…”

“Right.”

She was shocked. “Hey—48 years?! Who would stay for that long?! Are you crazy?!”

In a calm tone “Yui, I don’t know you fully, but I know your mother. First, why are you thinking that way? Suppose you take my contract. The serve didn’t even take 12 hours—it just took 2 minutes. The portal also opened near me If he travels. He can finish it easily. If we get two days, that’s actually good. The contract conditions aren’t based on time. First, calm your mind. You can make a contract with Yuki. Just focus on the official contract and no wish summoning Contract. It’ll definitely be easy.”

– ‘Hey, I think he knows what type of conditions we’ll get.’

“Hey, she's asking what kind we’ll get?”

“Huh! Still scared? Well... I don’t know. He said it’s based on the situation. Like—two have to bathe, one has to run soap over the other... or cook food together and eat. I mean, if you’re in an open space, completing the condition becomes harder.”

– ‘Then that’s easy. We don’t have to be afraid.’

With a sigh – “Yes... but when are you going?”

With anger – ‘Why are you so obsessed with sending me?! You don’t like me? I’ll stay here for a while. The tournament is still going on. Well, we get our answers.’
