Infinite Dimensions, Starting from The Irregular at Magic High School

"It really was wonderful to breathe the air here again." Mayumi walked forward gracefully, wrapped herself around his arm, pressed her soft chest against him, and took a deep breath of the salty, humid sea breeze.

This air was completely different from the foul, suffocating atmosphere they had encountered before!

"Yeah, being able to come back alive was all thanks to Mahiro's desperate efforts."

Miyuki looked at him with eyes full of love, but they also revealed deep guilt.

She and Mayumi had both desperately wanted to go to another world to help him, so Yotsuba Mahiro would not have to work so hard. Yet in the end, not only had they failed to help, they had even become burdens that held him back.

The first time they encountered Jibril, if not for Yotsuba Mahiro, they probably would have died in that world...

"Alright, alright. Stop blaming yourselves."

Yotsuba Mahiro reached out and stroked their hair, comforting them. "This time was just an accident. Most of the worlds I travel to have normal human civilizations. Even in post-apocalyptic wastelands, there are places where humans can live peacefully. This time was purely unexpected. I never thought we would be sent to such a dangerous world. Thankfully, the crisis has been resolved, hasn't it?

"And I think your magic has improved and been refined quite a bit. You have grown stronger, haven't you?"

Those two consecutive "haven't yous," combined with his gentle words, were like warm sunlight melting the guilt and remorse buried deep within their hearts.

Miyuki pulled herself together once more. A faint blush colored her fair, lovely face as she nodded firmly.

"Mm, Mahiro is right. Next time, Miyuki will definitely work hard to help you!"

Mayumi was the same. Her gaze toward him was filled with endless gratitude
