When he called his name, Nigel looked back at me to brighten his expression.

"Elaine! You're back!"

Nigel comes running at me.

I handed him a towel.

"Yes, I did. I thought it was a bad idea, but it was too fierce a fight, so I was allowed to watch the game in── silence."

"Not at all. But I'm sorry. I was obsessed with the fight, and I didn't realize you were there."

Nigel wipes his own sweat with a towel.

Sweat reflects on the sun's rays, glittering and beautiful.

Refreshing!

Somehow, it seems that the sweat is waxing like water. I fell in love unexpectedly.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I── Before we talk, I'll take your fatigue away.”

Saying that, I put my right── hand on Nigel and my left hand on Gert.

"Heels"

Then, a pale light spread out around her hands.

”Ahh... I'm getting tired of the fight”

"It's the first time I've felt it, but it's amazing. No healer in the Knights can activate healing magic so quickly and perfectly. That's a saintly woman."

That's what they admire.

──It's over.

"Thank you, Elaine."

"No, I don't mind if I keep releasing the same thing until morning."

She smiled nickingly and said so.

"So... why are you doing this simulation?──"

and when I tried to keep my words going further.

Eliane, I miss ignoring Ralph.

Ralph!

Looking at Ralph slowly walking towards me, I raised my voice.

At first glance, Ralph looks just like a big dog.

In fact, it's called the Divine Beast, Fenrir.

──Ralph says it's a golden piece of── wood, and it's Douglas' eternal rival.

By the way... Ralph's voice could only be heard by me, the Saintess, and by Douglas.

"I'm not ignoring you." I was aware of it. "

Hmm. Then why don't you just talk to me?

"Fufu, are you jealous? It's okay ~, I love Ralph. All right, I'll do it."

The fuzz also.

I bury my face in Ralph's body and gently stroke the fur.

After all, Ralph's foam is awesome!

"Hmph, you can tuck in as much as you like. The dragon also said that it was the role of a man to── listen to a woman's wagamama."

Both Ralph and I accept your hood.

"Ugh...!"

If you say that with such a handsome voice, Ralph will turn you into a fool!

”Hahaha, if you're so jealous of Ralph, I'll be jealous too”

Nigel says that from next door.

"I love Ralph too──, but Nigel is the best." Don't worry, it won't change. ”

"Thank you. I'm your best friend."

Isn't Ralph the best!?

Ralph is blaming me... but I'm sorry! That's all I can do!

"But... I haven't been alone with you lately." I'm a little tired because I'm running out of Eliane ingredients inside me. "

"It's been a bummer lately." I can't help it. "

I often go out to Berkaim and have a tea party with Leticia, and when that happens, it gets more and more erratic.

Well, once I go to Berkaim, the purpose is to exchange between the two countries.

I'm never going to play!

... and an excuse in my heart.

"──Yes, but I think so too." If I don't get the Eliane ingredients right now, I'll be dead soon!..... "

"Oh, it's Daisuke." But I miss being alone with Nigel. But even though you're busy, you're not too chaotic.── "

"Ridiculous? I don't have to be rude to see you." And even if I── were, I'd do whatever it takes to meet you! "

"In a voice echoing through the courtyard, Nigel said.

Oh, I'm glad you said that... but if it's so loud, it might have reached the castle!?

That's a bit embarrassing. I'm glad, but... I'm glad! It is important, so I want to repeat it again and again.

"What do you think about that?"

Nigel quickly put his hand to his chest and took out two sets of tickets from it.

"There's a circus troupe in the capital right now." I'm pitching a tent in the central square and doing a performance. I got the── best seat at the show two weeks later. Of course it's for── two. I'd like to go with you... how about that? "

“I would definitely like to go!”

Inadvertently, I made my voice louder too.

And then Nigel,

We did it!

and a small guts pose.

This is the first date in a long time, right?

It's hard to think of just going back to the circus and saying, "Yes, I did it." You may want to eat your rice at the store as it is.

It's rare for two people to walk around the city of the King's City these days... just imagining the day makes my chest burst!

"Alright! I think I can do a little more!"

Nigel lost his ticket and instead grabbed the wooden sword again with both hands.

"I'll do my best by myself a little longer." Elienne, come back to your room. You must be tired on the way home, right? "

"No,── I'm going to hug Ralph here a little bit longer." Besides... I also like to see you doing your best. "

“Thank you. Honestly, I feel like I could do better than usual if Elaine could watch.”

Nigel says that and smiles refreshingly.

He begins to play the wooden sword a little away from me. The blade is straight and beautiful. I honestly thought so.

That's why I tried to stare at Ralph for a while...

Fufufu, you're showing off pretty well, ai

and Gert called out to me.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I was... obsessed with talking to Nigel." I forgot to properly greet you.... "

"It's okay, it's okay. Take it easy. What if it's like a world of two people like that... hey? I don't have a choice. It was a little hard for me to get close to."

She tried to bow her head immediately, but Gert quickly dominated it with her hand and sat next to── me.

"Sit down, too." Let me talk to you for a second. "

Yes, yes!

I'll put Ralph on my back and sit down on the ground.

Once again, I look at Gert.

Not as tall as Douglas, but quite tall. It was the Knights' captain, and I guess he had a bigger body.

However, the silhouette was smart, whether it was deceiving in clothes or not.

It is a man, but his face is lightly cosmetic. Even though it moved so hard, the makeup didn't collapse at all. Somehow, it looks like you're looking at magic.

What? Is there something on my face?

"No, no! That's not true!"

I watched too much, which made Gert wonder.

Gert is a man, but he looks and talks like he's mistaken for a woman.

I've known for a long time that this is the case, but it's too opposite to Nigel, and it's a little bit disgusting.
