"Kaoru, the method using the Leopard armor might indeed allow you to touch the threshold of breakthrough, but the risks are equally enormous. If you fail, there might only be one outcome... that is, death!"
Every word Lorraine said was clearly conveyed to Kaoru Amakawa's heart.
Hanabi Haruka said worriedly, "Kaoru, let's calm down a bit. It's okay not to rush into true transformation. Anyway, on Enormida's side, only the Leopard Armor has completed true transformation. We still have Saya here, don't we?"
Saya chimed in, "Yes, Kaoru, it's okay. I'll do my best to protect all of you!"
Wazu advised, "Kaoru, I don't want you to do anything too risky. I don't want you to get hurt. We all understand your belief in wanting to transform and protect everyone. Don't push yourself too hard."
In response to everyone's concern.
Kaoru Amakawa herself couldn't make up her mind for the time being.
At this moment.
Someone pressed down on her shoulder. When she looked up, she saw that Lorraine had moved away the obstructing Water Goddess Xiaoye and was now in front of her, with both hands on her shoulders.
“Lorraine, you…”
As the man's face drew closer to hers, Kaoru Amakawa's heart began to race instinctively, her face flushed, and she felt an inexplicable urge to close her eyes and kiss him.
Fortunately, she managed to hold back in time.
But deep down, I couldn't help but yearn for it... fantasize about it... and hope that Lorraine could get closer to her, until the moment when the distance was zero.
it is a pity.
Lorraine clearly didn't approach her with those kinds of thoughts. His serious gaze was fixed intently on her slightly trembling eyes, which were filled with girlish shyness, as he spoke.
"Kaoru, I don't know why you're so eager for true transformation, but there's one thing I want you to know clearly: if you can't truly make up your mind and put life and death aside, then don't try true transformation lightly. Otherwise... once true transformation begins, if you still have a half-hearted attitude of trying it out, the final result will inevitably be a painful failure."
"I... of course I'm serious."
"Then why don't you look me in the eye and say those words?"
"I... oh dear, you're standing too close."
"Look me in the eyes!"
“Lorraine, you…”
"Look at me, and tell me you're serious, that you've made up your mind, and that even if you face failure and death, you will continue forward without hesitation and never look back!"
"I...I...I..."
"Um?"
When Lorraine got incredibly close to her, Kaoru Amakawa felt her mind go blank. As she stared at the man in front of her, she felt hot all over and her mouth was dry.
At this point, there's no point in talking about the trial of true transformation.
It's already quite impressive that she can control her reason and resist the temptation from the opposite sex.
Such a situation.
Lorraine naturally understood everything as well.
He stopped approaching, released his hand from the other's shoulder, and sat back down in his original position. As soon as he sat down, the water god Xiaoye, who had been pushed away earlier, immediately crawled over and lay down on Lorraine's lap like a well-behaved and obedient dog.
Lorraine wanted to push her away, but the latter was very stubborn, so Lorraine just ignored her.
He said to Kaoru Amakawa.
"Let's put the matter of becoming a true immortal on hold for now, Kaoru. Don't bring it up again until you've truly made up your mind. After all, none of us want you to get hurt or even face mortal danger because of a rash decision."
"........"
"Kaoru, once you do something, there's no going back. So please take care of yourself and don't cause us any trouble."
That's all I have to say.
Hanabishi Haruka and Wazu were clearly on Lorraine's side, and everyone was looking at the silent Amakawa Kaoru with the same gaze.
Only the water goddess Xiaoye lay on Lorraine's lap, rubbing against his waist, intoxicated by his scent.
Amakawa Kaoru thought she might be seeing things, and for some reason had a hallucination that the water goddess Sayo was wagging her tail at Lorraine.
She naturally knew that everyone was doing it for her own good.
I don't want to see her get hurt.
After several minutes of silence, Kaoru Amakawa finally raised her head and replied seriously, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't act on my own. As for what to do next... I will seriously consider it."
Upon hearing this...
Hanahiro Haruka and Watts both visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Water Goddess Xiaoye wasn't paying attention to her at all.
Only Lorraine remained thoughtful.

In the next few days.
Kaoru Amakawa was clearly really thinking about this, and sometimes she was even absent-minded during class, which led to her being criticized by the teacher.
While walking down the corridor, I almost bumped into the wall.
Fortunately, her companions, Hanabi Haruka and Mizukami Sayo, looked after her in time.
Despite their concerns.
But this was a decision that Amakawa Kaoruko needed to make herself, and they knew they couldn't bother each other.
——
That night.
The home of the water god.
*Smack! Smack! Smack!* ...
The powerful cracking of the whip echoed through the courtyard, the long whip making a series of eerie popping sounds in the air.
