"... I'm coming in, Dida"

I knocked and walked into his room.

He was sitting in a chair thinking about something.

The room given to the servant is not that big.

However, I, Dida and Mr. Sebastian, who has long served the lady, have been given quite a large room in a private room.

"... this is from the lady. By the time I got back to work, I told him to read it."

"Oh, thank you"

Dida laughed and took it.

"Then do something about that face before you get back to work."

"That, too, from the lady?

"There's no reason for that. My advice."

Dida laughed at my words.

So much for laughing.

"... I'm telling you, I'm not forgiving you."

"Tough hands. That's when the tap sermon was given."

"Tappy......!? Not at all."

With that said, I remember when he was in captivity.

That time...... I was hurt. He laughed the moment I walked into the room.

That's more like a giggle, a mess... than a relief... the usual brightness was shredded. That was it.

"Are you hurt?

'No problem.... I'm sorry, take this off me'

'What are you talking about!? When I come here, the reason is to check your safety and escort. In conjunction with the boy there. To keep you from being used as a hostage. Yet, take it off!? If that comes off, what the hell are you going to do? What are you gonna do with your body like that!

"I'm gonna put on some kejime"

"Kejime? Ha... Kejime!? Don't let me down any more '

"Whether I'm disappointed in you or not, I just do what I have to do"

'Things to do? All you have to do is wait here with him. If you get out poorly and this kid sees you and thinks you have a connection to the Boltic family, what are you gonna do! Besides, why don't you get out and get caught again? Your body won't be able to move like it always does.'

'It's about my body... I know how much I can move. I'm not gonna take a pull on those guys. "

'I don't trust you. For once, you've been caught.'

"Bonded by love, it's this zama.... but the crappy sentiment, I threw it away '

"If you threw it away, why do you need to wear it?

'I want to make that certain. No matter how much you throw away, a ghost by the name of the past comes after you. My most important thing right now, and that's what's at stake... you should confront me and put some bullshit on it'

'No... Either way, what's he gonna do'

If you looked down, Drussen was lying on the floor.

How deeply asleep are you or how thick are your nerves to not wake up in this argument?

Such a crappy question passed my mind then.

"I have you. If you're about to wake up, you just have to take consciousness again '

"But..."

"Please. As it were, I couldn't forgive myself. I can't even look at the lady or you... '

Dida's serious gaze shoots me through.

"The lady is the Lord who made me look up. You can lose your life if you want to protect him.... because my daughter is in danger because of me. To be forgiven, I don't think so. So in case you get caught and you're going to bother your lady any more, then you don't hesitate to choose to die '

"... that word, you're not lying."

"Oh."

I took his cuffs.

He checked his arm just a little bit and then got up.

"This matter is cleared up safely... even if you see a lady and she forgives you... I will not forgive you. Dida '

"So you're right."

That's how Dida ran through the conflagration.

Remembering that series of events, I opened my eyes that were closed.

"... if the lady forgives you, I will not forgive you"

"Oh."

"I saw your battle and I was sure. You would never have left them behind. [M] I was caught, as you put it… you lost to memories of the past. Turn away from what's important now."

That was unforgivable.

There is no anger in itself that he went out to investigate or that he was caught.

Though...

"Is it true to you that I want to protect your daughter? I thought Lyle and you were comrades. And your thoughts were to that extent?

"... if they say so, there's no choice."

Dida laughed powerlessly when she said so.

I exhale, losing strength in that reaction.

"... Kejime was put on?

"Oh, I got it."

"Um, a man named Tori is one end of the ghost?

"Well...... right"

Now Dida exhaled deeply.

"When I was looking into it in that city, I knew immediately that Tori had something to do with it. So I made contact and tried to make it stop right away... trying to persuade him."

And I listen to the words that I vent to whine, concentrating on not listening down.

"No questions asked, no questions asked, which means you and that man were very close."

"Right. Now, he was like Lyle... he was. If you notice, stay with me. When I was looking for food, when I did stupid things, when I joined the organization."

"Oh, that's good. I was alone when I was trashed."

"In that regard, I might have been blessed... but I don't know because I ended up like this"

That's what I said, Kerakera laughed.

"... at one point, by order from above, we have something from another organization... don't ask me what that is, okay? I don't even know. Well, I kind of could have guessed that it would suck... but I was going to steal it. There's no shield behind it. He's a thin, dirty kid... If he succeeds, I guess he thought he could push through without knowing how to connect with the organization if he fails. I thought I was a jerk on a boulder, and I told him to run away from the organization. But he said," Where are you going? We won't have a place to go or anything. "In the end, I did."

"... so?

"Things were going great along the way. They noticed me on the way, yeah. I offered to get stuck and let him take my stuff and go first. He said he was calling for backup. One more time I got caught and I got bummed, but I saw a gap and ran away. So, meet the lady on the way out... as you know later"

"Well, your lord has forgiven you. Put you on your side. 'Cause, roughly, you'd look into your background, wouldn't you?

"Even myself, I think so. I guess it's because the young lady's strong hopes and I've been judged incapable of doing anything about it before the good servants."

"Well, that's true."

"Because we broke up like that... I escaped from that environment myself. There are other things to lose. So, I wanted to convince you if I could. Well, the results are scattered. Believe the words" I want to escape this environment already, get in a consultation "and if you show up in the rendezvous place with a scarecrow..."

"He said he got caught."

"That sort of thing. I guess it's not for persuasion."

I heard a laugh from him saying that, but when I saw his face, he wasn't laughing at all.

"Maybe I didn't believe it myself. It's frigid, and not even pure enough to truly take it.... but I wanted to believe it. That's all I thought I'd built. That's why I couldn't. Such expectations, I never should have. I... you're right, I lost in the past."

That's what I said. He was holding his fist to the point where he put too much effort into it to turn white.

Perhaps your nails will eat in and bleed out.

"Yes..."

I got up, sighing at the same time.

Then stop by his desk.

There were the documents that I had given them.

when you take the ray, give it to him again.

"… just read it. Tomorrow, you're going back to work."

"Oh, oh..."

Dita was circling her eyes as surprised at my sudden change of direction of the story past.

"Kejime, I guess it's on.... You were given a chance, so you should do your job to meet it. No more ghosts will come out of your way."

"... right"

Affirming so, Dida looked up.

Most of all, though he hasn't actually looked up because he's holding his eyes in his arms.

"You're sappy, you are."

"... you want me to comfort you?

"No... if they do that, I'm sorry I can't get on the table."

"Right."

I laughed a little crazy at his words.

"Me and you... then connecting Lyle has the same purpose of protecting your daughter. Unless the purpose is uneven, we can always be pointing in the same direction"

Even if, for example, opinions may collide.

Even if something is wrong.

If the ultimate purpose is the same… it is not between us to make a difference.

I think so.

"I guess you don't brace all the time"

"Naturally. Even in exchange for my life, I will protect your daughter."

To my words, Dida laughed.

"You acted out of that purpose for a moment this time.... but at the end of the day you're back. Put on your own kejime. So I'm relieved. Though I still can't forgive you... I thought we could still move in the same direction together."

"... well, good luck with that. Uh. Not only will you go in the same direction, but also so that you can safely leave your back to me."

"Right."

"... really, this place is too cozy for me. I don't think so."

His words shuddered slightly as he groaned.

On his cheek, the droplets were telling.

However, I decided not to see it… I left the scene.
