The speech by Gracia even referred to the history leading up to this ceremony and the thoughts and wishes put into the ceremony and why Gracia stood on the stage as the organizer of the ceremony, but was not of much interest to Luca.

I know that's probably because I'm a kid, and I'm sure Rayne had decided that he must have been extremely bored with something since the speech began. Perhaps there is no mistake in that decision. It was only when Luca pulled him out of his seat that he was surprised and, although bewildered, now his eyes shine as if he had forgotten, for example, how boring he had just been.

Luca thought there was no madness in her eyes, and she felt as if she was proving the correctness of her judgment.

Being with Rayne and playing around is essential to erase the boredom in you and fill your mind.

If that's the case now, I can see it clearly.

So it was the most fun to take his hand and run around the ceremony venue.

Life in the boring Mekidsar is, of course, much more than when you're running around the woods alone.

Again, we have to have friends.

If that's Rain, Luca's first friend, we can share a lot of things.

Yes, she was sure, and so far, there's been no mistake with that.

That's how Gracia's speech led to Gandia's rebirth as Luca and Rayne ran around holding hands.

Luca, thinking, whispered to Rayne.

(Speaking of Gandia, that was the country where Rayne's Enjour originally belonged, wasn't it?

(Yeah... yeah...)

(I wonder what will happen to Enjour if Gandia rebuilds?

(What happens?

(Also, does it belong to Gandhia?)

(I don't know that)

Luca was satisfied with Rayne's reaction, naturally speaking. Rayne is a child. Just like myself, I'm not interested in small, difficult conversations between adults, and I don't have the knowledge or head to talk about politics and social situations. In Luca's case, there is only knowledge, but that's why I never wanted to talk to him like that. Then you're joining a boring adult.

I don't know why I met Rain so hard for this.

(Right. There's no way Rain can tell, is there?)

(What's that?)

(Ugh)

Luca was also satisfied with Rain's unsatisfactory mouthfeel. I can see my heart filling when I say I'm just talking to Rayne.

If there were any of these landscapes in the daily routine of Mekidsar, they would blow up boredom and such.

My father doesn't know that.

Luca thinks that my father has a father's situation, but it has nothing to do with me being a child. Luca had Luca's situation and therefore kept wanting time to hang out with Rain. And the memorial thus came true only because Luca took action.

After all, everything has to move from itself, she is convinced.

(... so where are you headed?

After a while, Rayne asked me to whisper.

You'll find out soon enough.

(Then why don't you tell me?)

(You have no choice. Look over there)

Thus, Luca pointed out one point of the ceremony.

Luca and Rain were approaching the stage of the Great Hall, citations that ran around the ceremony venue. A girl wearing a vibrant costume is the one who keeps herself in the visible position from there. I have met a girl who is in her seat with a difficult face before.

The first name was Leona Lewe-Gandia. She is the princess of Gandhia, and at dawn when Gandhia rebuilds in the future, she will be the queen.

Back in the year, I was no different from the Lucas.

I mean, he's not even old enough.

The way she sits in a chair with a strange face tells me that she is desperate to fulfill the duties imposed on her from scratch.

Leona is also, I guess, just like Luca, a child pushed into a role by an adult.

But it's clearly not like Luca.

Luca hated it.

I thought kids should be childish, and I didn't mean to be what adults think. On the other hand, Leona seems to think that following the adult way is the significance of her being, and thus coming to the ceremony with a feared face in attitude.

It doesn't matter if it's right or not.

Luca just doesn't feel sorry for Leona like that.

It doesn't matter what you think, such as a world where children are not allowed to be childish and you just have to follow what adults think. Such things are adult reason, not child reason.

(Master Leona?

And then Rayne came.

(Yes, Master Leona)

(Duh, duh, what are you gonna do? No way......)

It's settled.

She told quietly against Rain, who sees Luca's invincible grin and fights for fear.

Then, he turned around the ceremony venue and approached the seats of the Leonas behind the stage. And he succeeded in sneaking under Leona's feet.

Then,

(What are you doing in there?

Asked unexpectedly, Luca was frightened. It was an ambitious and powerful voice, but it seemed like the only voice the Lucas could hear, given the unresponsiveness of the people around them.

It's not Leona's voice.

However, Leona is turning her gaze this way, as if to react to that voice. Beautiful golden hair, doll-like girl. Like a doll, I guess that's what it looked like because I wear a costume for the ceremony and even makeup on it.

(Huh? What?

(Speaking of which, you did)

Luca looked behind Leona as she calmed down by squeezing Rayne's disturbing hand.

Behind Leona, there was a huge chunk of silver, but it moved and the lion was peeking into her face. Leona has Gandia's guardian beast, the Silver Lion Rayon.

(Good, Rayon)

When Leona controlled in a whisper, Rayon returned to his original chunk of silver. I guess it retains its shape in such a way as not to surprise each and every one gathered at the ceremony venue.

(Then you're the kids then)

To Eagle Deep Fried, Leona said.

It's as if you're not a child, but given your position, so be it.

Luca, with a full smile, went.

(Remember, it's an honor, Princess Lion)
