ISEKAI? More like I See Crap!-Chapter 143: Love’s Light and Laughter ( )

As the city gates glowed behind them, and the morning sun bathed the world in warmth—

Hazuki leaned down, and Ellyna tilted her face up to meet him.

Their lips touched softly.

A gentle, hesitant kiss—but full of emotion.

A promise.

A goodbye.

A see you again.

Around them, the world seemed to freeze.

Except for one cloud-shaped disaster.

Ridan zipped around them in circles, puffing out little magical firework sparks.

He now wore a tiny police officer outfit—hat, badge, baton and all.

"Whoop whoop!! Criminal hunting loli here!! Step away from the underage catgirl!!" he shouted, spinning like a siren on fire.

Neither Hazuki nor Ellyna moved.

They stayed locked in that soft kiss, uncaring of the chaotic storm puffing around them.

Ridan finally slowed to a stop.

He puffed once—and when the smoke cleared, he was now dressed in an oversized high priest outfit, holding a glowing stick like a microphone.

"From now on, you two are husband and wife," he spoke dramatically like a holy sage.

"You may now kiss the bride~"

Then—

POOF!

Ridan spun midair and reappeared in a ridiculous carriage driver uniform, complete with goggles and a whip.

"Honeymoon!! Honeymoon!! Next stop, romantic ruins!! Hold on tight!!"

Hazuki finally pulled away, dazed, blinking like he’d been hit by a wagon.

Ellyna just smiled faintly, her cheeks glowing.

"...Uncle," she said softly.

Hazuki swallowed hard.

"...I’ll come back."

She nodded.

"And I’ll wait."

Ridan wiped a fake tear from his eye.

"They grow up so fast..." he sniffled.

Then grinned again.

As Hazuki was still glowing from the kiss, practically floating like a balloon in love, Ridan suddenly floated in front of him, his tone switching gears.

"Oh, by the way, idiot."

Hazuki blinked.

"...What now?"

"Touch the necklace. Channel as much mana as you can into it."

"Huh? For what?"

"Just do it, idiot!!"

"Geez, fine!" Hazuki muttered, placing his fingers against the necklace Ellyna was wearing—the same one he had given her back in Yumia.

"Now, Princess~," Ridan said aloud.

Ellyna’s eyes widened just a little.

Hazuki tilted his head.

"Wait. Princess? Why’d you call her—?"

"SHUT UP, IDIOT!! JUST FOCUS!!" Ridan shouted.

"Okay okay!!"

Hazuki took a deep breath, holding the necklace between his fingers.

He pushed his mana out—clumsily, like usual—into the silver thread and the small pendant.

It shimmered instantly, reacting like it remembered him.

"Princess," Ridan’s voice echoed in Ellyna’s head via telepathy.

"Once his mana connects—kiss him again."

"...Why?"

"This time, take it. All of it. Drain him dry."

Ellyna blinked.

"Won’t that...?"

"Don’t worry. He’s got enough to survive. And he’ll recover."

She looked at Hazuki, confused but trusting.

"...Okay."

Hazuki opened one eye.

"Uh... I think it’s glowing?"

Then—without warning—

Ellyna leaned in again.

And kissed him.

This kiss wasn’t soft like before.

It was intense, like a whirlpool.

Hazuki’s eyes widened as he felt the mana pouring out of him—faster, deeper—like a current pulled straight through his chest.

He didn’t feel pain.

Just... warmth.

Like his body was being emptied into her.

And somewhere in that swirl, he heard a voice:

Thank you.

As their lips met again—

It happened.

A soft swirl of light began to bloom around them.

Pink and silver, shaped like petals caught in a breeze—

swirling around their hands.

The pinky promise ring on Ellyna’s finger glowed gently,

the aura pulsing like a heartbeat—

pure love, soft magic, a vow not yet broken.

At the same time—

the necklace around her neck flared.

A golden spiral of light burst forth from it,

rising like a slow-moving flame, wrapping around her and Hazuki both.

The magic wasn’t aggressive.

It was warm.

Binding.

Alive.

And then—Ellyna’s Absolute Eye activated on its own.

Her pupils dilated, the swirling sigil of her divine sight glowing bright.

No hand gesture.

No spell chant.

It just responded.

To him.

Hazuki?

He didn’t even notice.

His eyes were half-closed.

His arms around her waist.

His lips on hers.

In his world—

there was only Ellyna.

Ridan, still floating nearby, watched it all unfold with a dead-serious look for once.

He nodded slowly, arms crossed, expression calm.

Yeah... this idiot really is being guided by those two.

No wonder he ended up with that ancient skill book...

No wonder the necklace bonded with her... fгeewebnovёl.com

He floated closer, eyes narrowing at the golden aura.

It’s draining his mana.

A steady pull. Strong too.

And yet...

Hazuki showed no sign of fatigue.

His breath was calm.

No sweat.

No weakness.

Just a steady, endless flow.

Ridan muttered under his breath.

"...His mana pool really is ocean-sized, huh? Damn idiot."

And as the light swirled around them,

Hazuki finally broke the kiss.

Eyes open.

Smile gentle.

"...That one was for the road," he said quietly.

Ellyna just held onto his sleeve, lips trembling slightly.

She didn’t say anything yet.

Because even her Absolute Eye couldn’t fully explain what just happened.

"Old man?" Ellyna’s voice echoed softly in Ridan’s mind.

He blinked mid-hover.

"Huh? What?"

"Remember to bring him back in two years, okay?" she whispered.

Ridan didn’t tease this time.

"Yeah. I know."

"And... please make sure he’s safe."

Ridan smirked slightly.

"Safe? Princess... it’s the world that needs to be careful of this idiot.

Whoever messes with him... gets hit by his legendary bad luck."

Ellyna giggled softly.

The swirling auras—silver-pink and golden—still danced around them like magic petals.

She looked up at him.

"Uncle... no... Hazuki."

Hazuki straightened a bit, his goofy grin fading.

For the first time in days, he looked—

handsome.

Quiet.

Grounded.

Focused.

"Don’t forget about me, okay?" she said.

Hazuki smiled.

"I won’t... my future wife."

Ellyna’s eyes softened, and her fingers curled lightly into his sleeve.

"See you again... soon."

"Yeah..." Hazuki said, stepping just a little closer.

He looked at her gently.

"And Ellyna...?"

"Yes?"

Hazuki leaned in again—eyes half-lidded, breath held—

their lips inches apart—

POOF.

In a puff of soft sparkles—

Ellyn was back.

The small form.

Golden hair tied up.

Cat ears twitching.

Eyes wide.

"Tehe~ too bad, Uncle!~"

Hazuki stood frozen, lips puckered like a fish.

Ridan exploded with laughter in the background.

"BAHAHAHAHA!! Blue-balled by transformation magic!!"

Hazuki pointed at Ellyn, face red.

"I WAS BEING ROMANTIC, DAMN IT!!"

"I’m still too young for full kisses, Uncle~!" Ellyn teased, sticking out her tongue.

"Princess~," Faria said softly, bowing slightly with practiced grace.

Ellyn turned to her, still holding Hazuki’s hand loosely.

Faria continued, her voice calm and respectful.

"We should return to the castle."

Hazuki blinked.

"Hmm? Princess? Castle?"

Ellyn gently let go of his hand, looking up at him with a small, nervous smile.

"It’s nothing, Uncle. Go now."

"Umm... oh... kay..."

Hazuki scratched the back of his head, glancing between Ellyn and Faria.

Something didn’t feel right.

Castle? Princess?

His brain tried to connect the dots.

Mrs. Faria... just called her "princess."

And that beautiful older catgirl from before—Ellyn called her "Mother" too.

Wait—wasn’t Faria supposed to be her mom?

Hazuki stood at the edge of the carriage platform, frowning slightly.

He looked back one more time.

Ellyn—no, Ellyna—just stood there with a calm smile, waving softly.

...Princess...?

Two moms...?

Castle...?

Hazuki squinted hard—

And Ridan floated in with perfect timing, arms behind his back.

"Don’t overthink it, Hajooookiiieee~," he sang teasingly, spinning lazily above Hazuki’s head.

"Focus on the road~ Lover boy~"

Hazuki snapped out of it.

"Stop calling me that!! It’s Hazuki! H-A-Z-U-K-I!!"

The carriage started to move.

Ellyn waved from behind, and Hazuki... waved back.

Still confused.

Still suspicious.

Still in love.
