After enjoying some wine with Illness-san and spending time together, we eventually went out onto the balcony of our room.

The owner’s room had a spacious balcony where you could see the deck of the ship and the sea. It was more like a small garden in terms of size, but stepping outside, the night breeze felt pleasant against our cheeks.

[There are a lot of stars, but it’s dark at night so you can’t see the sea.]

[……Ahh, that’s riiiiight. Normallyyyyy, with this darkness, you can’t see the seeeeea.]

[Ah, right, Illness-san mentioned having really good eyesight before, didn’t you?]

[Yeeees. With just the light of the staaaars, I can see quite far even at niiiiight.]

Illness-san had exceptionally good eyesight and could apparently see magic power in the air if she focused. However, she usually adjusted her focus to avoid seeing too much and getting tired, so there were downsides as well……

[Since we’re at iiiiiit, would you like to see too, Kaito-samaaaa?]

[Eh? What do you mean by see?]

[I can temporarily share my vision with Kaito-samaaaaa, so you can see the view through my eyesssss. Howeveeeeer, due to Shallow Vernal-sama’s Blessing on Kaito-samaaaaaa, I need your consent to use this kind of magiiiiiic. Well, I wouldn’t share my vision without consent anywaaaaaaay, so that doesn’t matter to me muuuuuch.]

[That’s certainly true. In that case, would you mind sharing it with me?]

[Yeeees. But fiiiiiirst, please sit in the chair prepared over theeeeere. Since I’ll be sharing my visiooooon, there’s a possibility you’d feel disorientated due to changes in perspectiiiiive, so it’s important to sit still for safetyyyy.]

I see, now that you mention it, it wouldn’t be surprising if things got weird if I moved my body according to the scenery that Illness-san sees. It’s certainly important to sit still for safety’s sake.

When I sat in the chair Illness-san prepared and closed my eyes as instructed, her palm touched my eyelids.

[Now then, I’ll start sharing it with youuuu. Please try not to move too much to avoid straiiiin.]

[Yes——– Whoa, seeing myself sitting there feels kinda strange.]

As Illness-san activated her magic, even though my eyes were closed, I could see myself sitting in the chair. It felt really strange, like watching an incredibly high-quality VR image.

[Well then, I’ll be moving my gaze nooooow.]

[Oooohh….. Amazing. I can see the sea so clearly, both near and far.]

[I’ve currently adjusted my vision a biiiiit, but if I focus my gaaaaze, it looks like thiiiiis.]

[Eh? Uwahh, too bright……]

I was amazed by Illness-san’s eyesight, which could see clearly even into the distance at night. Then, suddenly, it became as bright as daytime, and I could see the sea vividly.

[Even with just the light from the stars, if I concentraaaaaate, I can see as brightly as daytiiiiiime. Even in completely dark caves, it looks as clear as earlier.]

[That’s amazing. I can’t do anything like that myself, so this experience feels really fresh…… it’s kinda fun.]

[Kuhihi, I’m glad if you’re enjoying it, Kaito-samaaaaa.]

No, it’s not just clear…… It’s like seeing through the eyes of powerful people like Kuro……. Come to think of it, during the Six Kings Festival, she was able to spot Lilia-san and the others from a distance that I wouldn’t realize she was there at all……

It’s a strange sensation, not like looking through a telescope where only distant things are clear, but everything, both near and far, is vivid…… It’s just, it feels like I’m getting too much information.

[Kaito-sama, if we continue for too loooooong, it might fatigue you, so I think we should end this sooooooon.]

[Ahh, yes. It’s true, seeing so clearly, it’s different from my usual vision, and it feels tiring if I do it for too long.]

[Well theeeen, I’ll now…… I’ll switch you back after a few more momeeeeeents.]

[Unn?]

As I puzzled over why she’d suddenly corrected herself, I saw my own form sitting in the chair again through the shared vision. Then, my face started getting closer and closer…… Eh? Wait right there, isn’t this too close?

Confused by my own face approaching so closely, my vision suddenly switched, and just as I tried to open my eyes under Illness-san’s gentle restraint, I heard some sort of “chuu” sound and felt a soft sensation on my cheek.

[……Eh?]

[Now then, we mustn’t let your body get too coooooold, so shall we return indooooooors?]

[Eh? Eeehhh!?]

Watching Illness-san’s back as she returned indoors with a gentle smile, I was left speechless for a moment, staring after her in astonishment.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……Hahh…… Gahh!? J- Just when I was suddenly awoken, damage suddenly……]

Makina : [I was the one who restored you! I enjoyed my pancakes, so I’m now thinking of having some custard cream……]

Serious-senpai : [Huh? You revived me once just to have me turn into custard cream? ……You some kind of tyrant or what?]
