Chapter 70

**The Course of Good Luck** (幸運のゆうえ, *Kouun no Yuue*, ***The Course of Good Luck***?) is the 70th chapter of the Fumetsu no Anata e manga, and the last chapter of the Uralis Kingdom Arc.

## Summary

Kahaku tells Fushi he wants him to be his wife and Fushi looks back confused. Meanwhile Bonchien (who was watching) pours more tea.

Fushi says he thinks he understands marriage because he read it in the book, but he doesn't think they're like that. He says he gets what Kahaku is saying; that fluffy feeling; and says he needs to experience it someday. Kahaku interjects and says Fushi must have a hard time making sense of it all since it's his first time. Kahaku tells him not to worry since he'll teach him and hugs Fushi.

Fushi and Bonchien are stunned. Suddenly, Fushi starts to feel nauseous and pushes himself away from Kahaku and runs away to throw up. He then remembers that his "body" isn't his, implying Parona is the one physically repulsed by the hug. Kahaku approaches and asks what happened and Fushi pleas with him not to get closer. Fushi transforms into the Nameless Boy and Kahaku says it's fine even if he's a boy and hugs him once more. Fushi transforms into Tonari, Pioran, and March while trying to escape Kahaku's embrace, but Kahaku doesn't give up and thinks it's cute that Fushi is testing his love. He tells Fushi he'll love him no matter what form he takes. Fushi transforms into Booze Man and dumps a bottle of alcohol on Kahaku making him let go.

Fushi runs away traumatized to Todo, knocking over Pocoa at the same time, and Bonchien follows. Todo asks what happened and Fushi explains that Kahaku forcefully hugged him. Bonchien and Pocoa smirk and Todo says that's horrible and tells Fushi he can sleep in her room tonight.

Kahaku arrives and apologizes to Fushi saying he didn't realize Fushi hated him that much. Fushi tells him that he doesn't think that he's a bad guy but he doesn't know if Parona thinks the same. Kahaku questions who Parona is and Fushi transforms into her explaining that that's who his form is of. He explains that she was killed by Hayase. Kahaku asks if Fushi knows how she was killed and Fushi tells him what Hayase told him at the tournament. He further explains that all Parona wanted to do was protect March yet Hayase called it a just punishment and murdered her. Fushi asks if the goal of murdering them is to hug him. Kahaku apologizes and thanks him for telling him about the past.

A guard comes up to Bonchien with a letter saying Einetace has requested his visit. Bonchien tells Kahaku he can't have him interfering with the mission so he's placing a restraining order on him.

The next day, the group arrives in Einetace, Ilsarita. A crowd welcomes Fushi and a man asks if it's true Fushi can bring people back from the dead. Bonchien is horrified. Fushi says he can't do that and Bonchien agrees and asks where he heard that from. The man says the Cleric told them when he returned from Uga Castle. Bonchien tells them he's sorry to disappoint but the information is wrong, then tells Fushi to take the alley out before he gets swarmed.

Fushi sits by himself in an alley and is approached by a red-haired girl. She tells him good work and he asks who she is. She says she's one of the Church and that she has to tell him something for his sake; Prince Bonchien will soon be captured and executed by forces plotting against Fushi. Fushi is confused as to why they would do that if they're after him. The girl explains that everyone knows it'll be difficult to capture him so they capture those who would revere Fushi as a messenger of God. Fushi immediately decides to tell Bonchien but the girl stops him. She tells him if he runs, they will chase him. Since he's the one they're after, if he just gives himself up to them, they won't hurt Bonchien. She asks him which is more important: Prince Bon's momentary existence or the entirety of his own. Fushi chooses Bonchien's and asks her what he should do.

Meanwhile, Bonchien is on stage presenting to the Einetace crowd when Nixon tells him that the Church of Bennett have taken Fushi somewhere. Bonchien tells him to lead the way quickly and runs through the alley. He bumps into the Mayor who asks him what's wrong. Bonchien asks him where's the Church of Bennett and explains that they're looking for Fushi. The Mayor is shocked and tells Bonchien that rumours are going around suspecting him of heresy. Bonchien is offended but the Mayor quickly cuts him off to say that it isn't just him, but all of Uralis. Bonchien says that that's irrelevant and the Mayor warns him not to make the wrong decision.

Cylira appears from the alley and agrees with the Mayor. If Bonchien is to become King, he will need country and people. Bonchien recognizes him as the High Cleric of the Church of Bennett and he responds with his name. Cylira tells Bonchien that he should relinquish Fushi immediately but Bonchien refuses saying he won't betray Fushi or the people. Cylira tells him that if he complies, the highest levels of the Church will praise his decision and support him in becoming King. He hesitates and says that that sounds like he's using Fushi to become King but then soon realizes that's exactly what he's doing right now. Cylira says that Bonchien has been tricked by Fushi and the Guardians, but the Church will protect him. Bonchien says it's nonsense. Cylira threatens that he'll lose his home and family because of his obsession with Fushi. Cylira ends by saying Fushi is immortal and will outlive him. He asks if Bonshien should not prioritize his own, leaving Bonchien conflicted.

While this was happening, Kahaku and Todo were eavesdropping behind an alley wall. Kahaku is angry at Cylira's offer and Todo steps up with a sword and says she has a proposal. Kahaku takes the sword and asks to hear it as she readies her own sword.
