Chapter 147 Confessing to Kaguya Shinomiya
"Yukino, are you really so comfortable letting Natsuo take such a dangerous risk?" Shiina Mahiru questioned Yukino Yukinoshita.
"He's different from us."
"That won't do! What if something happens..."
"Then let's die together," Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly.
"What?" Shiina Mahiru stared at her blankly.
Yukino Yukinoshita's expression remained unchanged: "If something happens to Natsuo, we won't survive either, so let's die together."

"We and Natsuo are already bound by fate. We'll live together and die together. There's nothing to agonize over." Yukino Yukinoshita's tone remained calm.
It's as if they're talking about something that doesn't concern them.
Shiina Mahiru opened her mouth as if to speak, but could not utter a word.
For the first time, she admired her.
It turns out that Yukino Yukinoshita's determination was much stronger than theirs.
Even if one cannot make up one's mind to conduct experiments, the idea of sharing life and death is something that has long been considered.
Although it doesn't matter whether they want it or not, they are indeed bound to Xia Sheng, to live and die together.
However, active choices and passive choices are different.
"Yukino, I don't want to die," Natsuo interjected to ease the tension.
"I want to live a good life, live a long life, and ideally, stay with you all forever."
"Then you should try your best to make them willingly stay with you forever," Yukino Yukinoshita replied with a gentle smile.
"Of course we have to work hard."
"Natsuo, I see... I see. You're so greedy." Sakurajima Mai understood Natsuo's thoughts.
"I didn't want to either, but how can we get along in the future if we don't do this? I'm forced into this situation." Xia Sheng spread his hands, looking helpless.
"You seem quite pleased with yourself, aren't you? You can do it openly and honestly now," Mai Sakurajima warned him, exposing his lie.
"To say I'm unhappy would be a lie, but I feel like it will be very difficult," Xia Sheng said honestly.
"It would be strange if it weren't difficult."
"Too."
No matter how much they are ordered to be intimate, their thoughts and feelings cannot be easily obeyed.
In the end, what matters is his effort and their compromises.
His most important task was to make their compromises lead to happiness.
It might be difficult, or it might be very simple; it's impossible to say for sure.
But all he needs to do is give it his all.
For their safety, and also for their own greed.
The atmosphere had eased considerably, but everyone remained increasingly silent.
Emotional issues, relationship issues, life issues, and future issues are all things that need to be carefully considered.
Yukino and the others didn't rush to leave; they even stayed to have lunch together.
Aside from Yui Yuigahama, all of them can cook, and they made lunch together.
Yui Yuigahama wasn't idle either; she followed them, observing and learning, humbly seeking their guidance, and even helping out.
Xia Sheng didn't squeeze into the kitchen with them; instead, he sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room, chatting with the black cat.
He wanted to help, but they thought he would cause trouble and wouldn't let him join in.
Since that's the case, he can only be happy to have some peace and quiet.
The conversation with Kuroneko was simple: Wednesday was the day the second volume of Konosuba was released.
This first printing is very large, ten times that of the first volume, at 50,000 copies.
This is an impressive number for a newcomer, but Xia Sheng is not entirely satisfied.
His goal was actually 100,000 copies.
However, because it is the second volume, and the release of the first volume was too short, the sales potential is limited.
The first volume has sold approximately 50,000 copies so far.
Despite its strong market potential, excellent reputation, and immense popularity, the first printing of the second volume was surprisingly conservative.
The black cat still doesn't have enough say.
But it's not a big problem. Sales do take time to accumulate, and Konosuba is not famous enough yet.
I believe it won't be long before the editor-in-chief is proven wrong.
By the time they had finished chatting with the black cat, Yukino and the others had finished preparing lunch.
The room was already filled with a pleasant fragrance.
Lunch was plentiful, as everyone had prepared their specialty dishes, though the table was a bit crowded.
Six people, at a square table, could barely squeeze together.
There might be more people in the future, so Xia Sheng plans to replace the square table with a round table this afternoon.
Lunch was eaten quietly; everyone ate in silence, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere.
After lunch, Yukino and the others went back, as there was nothing else to discuss.
Shiina Mahiru also returned home; she needed to process her emotions.
With no outsiders around, Suoh Yuki became unrestrained, pestering Natsuo to play with his weapons.
Xia Sheng gave her both the wooden sword and the iron sword, and also took out the katana for the first time.
The katana is a weapon with a particularly curved blade. The katana he obtained was entirely black, with no patterns or decorations on the scabbard. The blade was over one meter long, making it a standard katana.
Holding the blade, Xia Sheng felt something special; the katana technique was now second nature to him.
Iaido, swivel, and... Ascending Dragon?
As expected, it's a weapon for the lower ranks; they actually let him use the Dragon Rising Technique.
Xia angrily sheathed his katana and went back to his room to write.
On Monday, Natsuo was woken up again by Suo Yuki.
She doesn't stay up late, so she gets up very early.
Xia Sheng didn't see any good scenery, so he left her in his room and went out to wash up by himself.
After running with Shiina Mahiru and having breakfast, the three of them went to school together.
Shiina Mahiru hasn't changed much; she's exactly the same as before. But whether she's actually changed or not, only she knows for sure.
When he arrived at the school, Natsumi didn't see Kaguya Shinomiya at the school gate, but he knew where she was.
Upon arriving at the classroom, Xia Sheng placed his schoolbag on his seat, then left the classroom and went upstairs to the student council office.
The office door was closed, but Xia Sheng pushed it open and entered without knocking.
Inside, a slender and delicate figure stood quietly, her back to the door.
"President Shinomiya." Natsumi walked towards Kaguya Shinomiya. "Vice President Natsumi..." Kaguya Shinomiya turned around, looked at him, her crimson eyes filled with uncertainty.
"President Shinomiya, I'm here to explain what happened that night." Natsumi smiled slightly.
"That night... it really wasn't a dream?" Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly realized.
"Of course not, we can't possibly have shared the same dream, can we?" Xia Sheng shook his head with a smile.
"That's true... So what exactly happened in that place? Why... why did we end up there?" Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't contain her curiosity, her beautiful brows furrowing as she hurriedly asked.
"I don't know about that place either, but you can think of it as the front line of defense for our world."
"The front line of defense?"
"That's right, it's the front line of resisting invaders and protecting the world," Xia Sheng said in a serious tone.
"Protecting the world...can you talk to me about that?"
"certainly."
Afterwards, Natsuo told Kaguya about that place, telling her everything he could.
Things that can't be said, or that aren't suitable to be said for the time being, such as the experiment, because saying them would be like forcing her to accept them.
It's better to explain it to her slowly later.
After listening to Natsumi's account, Kaguya Shinomiya fell silent and remained speechless for a long time.
Are there still such unknown situations in this world?
Her common sense wouldn't allow her to believe it, but she had experienced it firsthand and had no choice but to believe it.
That's why Brother Huang Guang let her get close to Xia Sheng.
"So, the people in the Service Club are all people who go to that place?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked to confirm.
"Yes."
"Why was I... summoned to that place?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked, puzzled.
"I don't know either, but I think the world needs you," Xia Sheng replied earnestly.
"The world needs me..." Kaguya Shinomiya murmured, her expression slightly changed.
Does she also have a place where she is needed?
"President Shinomiya, please make your preparations." Natsumi interrupted her thoughts.
"Ready?"
"Once you go to that place, you'll keep going. You can't refuse, you can't resist. Otherwise, there might be danger, even life-threatening danger," Xia Sheng warned.
"Is that so...?" Kaguya Shinomiya's expression was indifferent, as if she didn't care.
"Then what should I do? What can I do?"
