"I didn't react badly. I guess it's because I took you."

When Leongand told me that, Setsuna didn't feel bad either.

It was about the end of the negotiations and the return journey to the palace. Leongand called Setsuna to his side and gently slapped her in the ear like a secret story. In the city. I guess I was afraid others would ask me that much, but it's true that the behavior made me feel as if Setsuna was special and I just made a small leap in my mind.

But to Leongand's sunny smile, Setsuna felt anxious again. During the negotiations, it's much bigger than what I've been holding. No, that's what I've been feeling since before. anxiety like a broken foot.

I know Leongand wants to make a deal with The White Shield. The reputation of the mercenary group White Shield is in Setuna's ears, and I have heard it from the leaders of the "Pale Wind". In the middle of training with my master. Because I heard it several times.

An invincible army and people call it. An invincible group of mercenaries who fight unbeatable ways. Short-term contracts in various countries are more effective and raise the profile as an organization. They may also be called like charities from where they eradicate the Imperial Devil's Nest free of charge, but nothing condemns the act itself. The Imperial Devil is a natural enemy of mankind. Being only harmful to human society, eradication is also a year-round wish. If we are going to crusade at our will, we will not be happier for the inhabitants of the neighborhood. The pile, naturally, would have boosted the reputation of The White Shield, but it's about him. It won't be calculated behavior.

That's what Kuyuan Kamiya was like. With an extraordinary barbecue, I mistakenly believe that the kind push and sell is humanity's love. I keep thinking about other people, and I don't even think about myself like this. He was such a boy, not knowing what he was going to be, but assuming that the happiness of others was his happiness.

Setuna was saved by him and beaten down by him. A sense of bad taste was created, and that only turned into hostility whenever. Still, hostility turned to him, understanding that his weakness was the only reason he should spit on him for not being able to leave him.

Anxiety burns my heart.

If The White Shield makes a pact with Gandhia even temporarily, Leongando will like him. He has such a place. It has the characteristic of being liked and adored by everyone. It may be that his natural brightness, sun-like glare, makes him do that by others, but as a setuna, he didn't like it very much. Always he was special, Setuna miserable as a worm crawling through the earth.

What happens to me if Leongand likes Quon?

I felt chilly just thinking about it.

The room reserved for the "Lion's Tail" squad in Myram Palace is extremely close to the room used by King Leongand. I guess that's because the Lion's Tail Squad is the Royal SS, and also because they accompanied them as escorts to Myram this time. When something happens, it is Setuna's job to rush to the king as soon as possible.

With such a clear thought, Setuna could not hide her frustration. He falls asleep in a big letter on one of the beds, staring at the ceiling.

There are three beds indoors. Initially, Faria, the only female member of the Lion's Tail, was expected to have another room available, but she turned this down better. For one thing, I was tired at the time of Myram's arrival and would have liked to go to bed soon. The other would be because both Setuna and Ruufa are considered harmless. I don't mind that. There's no harm done to her, and I don't have the courage to rush into the other side divided by curtains. And it's not courage, it's recklessness.

Faria should be sitting in a chair reading in a corner of the room right now. Did Ruufa even drink tea or occasionally heard the cups and plates overlap? Intense tea incense reached Setuna's nose, but it wasn't something I felt bad about.

The palace would be one turn smaller than Gandion's Lion's Royal Palace. When I came forward, I just infiltrated the Lonely Hall from the way out and didn't know the whole picture, but this time it's coming in from the front. It's not undercover, it's grand. Besides, there was a clear title, the Royal SS, that wasn't there at the time of infiltration.

Make him a Royal Palace Summoner and Captain Lion's Tail.

This is the position Setsuna has gained as a result of previous battles. But I don't think that's exactly what you can't shake. Fluidic, and I remember the instability that is likely to collapse even tomorrow. I also know the cause. Because his presence has suddenly surfaced when he came here.

Quon-Kamiya. About six months ago, a boy told me that if he thought he had been cut off from around Setuna, he would have been the leader of the mercenary regiment White Shield in this world. Finally, we met. In person, I saw his presence. Though he didn't have time to exchange words, Setsuna didn't think it was necessary either. Has the desire to leave the scene quickly reached Leongand?

Leongand wants him. Invincible shields, undefeated armies, both. If they join Gandhia, it's exactly something like a gold bar to ghosts. Gandhia, who gains the land of Logner and rides the waves, will plume into a world of war with further momentum.

(But...)

Extend your arms. Beyond the spread hand, the ceiling stone looked sumptuous. Did you even cry? Flashy. It's not like crying. but I didn't even want to wipe it. You'll admit you're crying.

(But that means I'm out of place...?

Crush it all over your chest and deny it instantly. Not necessarily. Kuon's shield is not an offensive weapon. He also told Lux that it was not like comparing. Maybe he was nailed.

Lux as a master of swordsmanship, body surgery, is horrible as a ghost, and Setuna is glad to support him every time she trains, but that's a different story from this. Lux's advice also makes sense, but emotions don't allow it. Extremely personal obsession distorts all events against Quon.

"Setuna, what's wrong?

Soon, Faria, who had come by the bed, was peeking into this one's face. It's been a long time since I've seen her with red edged glasses. I usually take them off a lot. They don't need the aid of glasses to live a normal life.

"Nothing"

Setuna threw her arms out on the bed. Faria's not convinced.

"You don't look like nothing."

It was a picture star, but I didn't see any words to say back, and Setsuna strayed from her gaze.

"Nothing's good, though. Whatever you're thinking."

Cold words sting my ears. No, it's not just the eardrum. It seemed to stab me in the back of my mind. Normally, the words that I would recieve now sound sharp. Ever since the Kuon thing happened, everything hasn't meshed well. I haven't been able to handle myself well. And maybe it's extra frustrating because I know that. It's frustrating to myself. It's not someone else. Although.

"I guess."

Setuna got out of bed. Faria is already out of bed, trying to get back to the chair she was sitting in until just now. Its resolute back looked slightly more rugged.

Faria looked back at this one and tilted her neck.

"Hmm?"

"I don't care about me."

After that, I realized that I was talking about something like a child wasting my time, but I couldn't stop anymore. The emotions that have erupted just go around without meaning and expose themselves to ugliness.

"... you know, that's not what this is about"

"Well, what is it!

"Because you won't tell me anything, I just had to. Or what, if I ask you, you won't tell me one thing, but you're asking me to guess that complicated heart? I'm not a superman or anything. I can't believe you know what you're thinking. You're going too far."

"... you don't even know how I feel"

I knew as much as I knew that was something I shouldn't have said. But unconsciously speaking out words always step on the other person's mind and leave malice in them. I still am. I'm hurting myself, but I'm backstroking the other person's emotions. But Faria's expression never stained her anger. Rather, I can see it getting colder and more like ice.

"I don't know. Will you tell me if I ask? How do you feel now? Why are you in such a state, you give me a clear answer? You can't, can you? You're bad at communicating your feelings. That's how you get selfish and annoy everyone. It's past my time to be a child. You are the Royal Palace Summoner of Gandhia, captain of The Lion's Tail. Be aware of your responsibilities."

When I was able to get my argument so far, I couldn't do anything about it. Without words to give back, there is no place for emotion. or just not willing to stay on the spot. I can't stand her cold gaze, either.

"I...!

Setsuna jumped out of the room.

"Aren't you going after me?

"It's overprotective."

Asked by Ruufa, Faria shrugged her shoulders. It was extremely transparent in my head. Although it was at first that I learned to be angry at Setsuna, the side of being able to bump my emotions is something that makes me unexpectedly calm. And if you calm down, there's nothing like hating a boy who explodes his emotions that way.

Even he is the best.

I never even thought about Setuna outbursting her emotions that far, but I was remembering it while she was being hit with passion. He's only a seventeen-year-old boy, and even though he's been through some battlefields, he hasn't been able to control his own mind. No matter how determined and prepared you were, a little thing will solve it and it will collapse away. Not to mention he assumes he is powerless.

Even if you have a very powerful power, it is the power of borrowing, and there are verses that you assume you have nothing. It is undisputed that he summoned the black spear (Chaos Blinger), and it is also said that Setuna herself who is using it.

(I wish I was more confident)

I think so, but she thought it wasn't like telling her. That's something he should be aware of. Otherwise you wouldn't be convinced. Especially a boy like him.

"But you're worried, aren't you?

"Then I'm worried. But that's why I'm not nice enough to spoil it."

Falia thought it might be sweet while answering instantly, etc. I wouldn't mind if that sweetness didn't involve his life or death. For example, you shouldn't spoil it in such a way that it leads directly to a rush on the battlefield. I don't want him to die. There's so much I don't know yet. That was all because he wouldn't tell me anything, but it was also true that we didn't have time to discuss it. If it weren't for Ruufa on this occasion, it might have taken some time.

"I thought Mr. Faria was in love with the captain."

She half-eyed because Ruufa had gone like some relief. I guess this is what it feels like to be exposed to cold water.

"... that's all you think about?

"Well, that's not..."

It was shortly after Faria destroyed Ruufa. The door of the room opened up vigorously,

"Ha, uh, is the captain there... isn't there?

A woman jumped in. That's four of us, too. It was the leading beauty who raised her voice, transforming the Southerner trait of brown skin on dark hair into beauty. Naj zir-remanifra. She is the princess of Lemanifla and the envoy that has been sent to form an alliance with Gandhia - it should be, but for some reason she was accompanying me on this trip to Myram. She often wears a white dress to highlight brown skin. Nor was it a trip costume on the road from Gandion to Myram. The contrast between white and black is exciting even from Faria's point of view.

But Faria's head is cold. The only time I was surprised was for a moment. In the next moment I was keeping track of Nage and the three samurai she was carrying. Tell.

"The captain is now out of his seat."

"Really? Too bad."

I admit to her expression of heartfelt disappointment that I don't have anything. Is it not like a festive state, but like a lover that sprinkles with nature? I can't ask for anything manipulative about Nage's behavior. Regardless, it may be so advanced that it cannot be seen through to the extent of Faria.

"What can I do for our captain?

If you have business, you have to go look for it right now. Nage is an important guest to Leongand, and he is strictly instructed to be polite. There must be no coarse phase.

Nage has been smiling.

"I just wanted to talk to you. I'm here to call you."

"To call?

That's where Faria got caught. If we just talk, we can do it here. If Faria and the others are in the way, you can take your seats off. Of course, as a consideration to prevent strange rumors from being built, we might have intended to have a conversation in a wide area.

"In my room, I wanted to talk to you slowly."

To Nage's remarks, Faria desperately suppressed that her expression was about to change. In the room reserved for the princess, having a conversation with Setuna, etc.

"Were you?"

"Oh, you don't have to worry. Because I don't have a hobby for taking children and eating them."

Certainly Setuna is a child, but she won't even be old enough to deal with him, and Faria snapped. Nage is laughing, I could almost put her in her mouth car at risk. Be sharp.

"I'm not worried about anything."

"Really? It didn't look very... okay. I don't know what else to do, but I'm going to visit His Majesty."

Bye, hey, and after the exotic princess who came over for the throw kiss left the room, Faria had no choice but to see the door shut flashly. I feel like a storm has run through me. It wasn't the room that was vandalized, it was Faria's heart. Nevertheless, there is no real harm. I was just overwhelmed.

"You're the Princess of Lemanifla now, aren't you?"

When I saw it, Ruufa was also stunned with a teacup.

"I've been thinking about it since I was on the road, but for a long time... here's the thing..."

"You don't have a grasp..."

"Doesn't she look like a princess..."

"You're a free man..."

"Right..."

It goes without saying that the two sighed at the same time were attacked by a tremendous sense of incarceration.
