Raphael brought me to a special room in the back - even though, of course, it's a prison. They're not holding anyone now, and there's no water out. However, the light is shining through the skylight, which is quite different from the others.

Inside, there are sofas, cushions, and fuzzy beds, which are quite spacious. Even if I stay here long, I think I'll be comfortable.

"There's no water, so it's like a normal room."

"Right. This is the best place in prison. Nica is a Duke's Lady, so I was wondering if it would have been here if I'd come in."

"I knew you remembered. Hey, can I come inside?

"Go ahead. There's going to be water if anything."

"Can you do that? A room with magic stones would be somewhere else, wouldn't it?

"It's not even a creation for me. Here."

When Raphael puts his hands together, water falls zero (spill) from the top and surrounds the room. The water momentum is strong and naturally you can't see outside. However, because the water wall bounced off the light entering through the skylight, it was sparkling more than I thought.

"It's beautiful. It doesn't look like a prison. Maybe we can stay here forever."

I looked around by surprise. I'm going to enjoy the situation for a while because of it. Of course it's dangerous, so I won't touch the water wall.

I remembered "Branois" and imagined a lot. I wonder what the lonely Veronica was spending here? Did she reflect properly on her cruel actions?

I am me. I don't know how she feels because it's not Veronica who went to jail. I used to admire her, but not now - rather, I want to advise you that if you work evil, you will suffer later on.

This room is beautiful, but I can't see the other side at all. The sound of water is also blocking the outside world's sound, so my breath is carefully clogged. No matter how luxurious and spacious, I missed this place. I'm sure I couldn't stand a situation where I could barely even see the face of someone I liked in the days of just reflecting on the sins I had committed.

Foreword withdrawn - I can't be in the jail of the Mizumiya. I'm so glad I didn't become a real villain.

"Raphael, that's enough. I'm ready, get me out of here."

There was no reply from him.

Could it be that you're not hearing me?

"Raphael, Raphael! Please, stop the water."

I tried shouting out loud.

But I still don't hear anything.

That's crazy. No way you put me down and went somewhere. Bye...

Because of the strong water momentum, I don't have the courage to go around the walls. I absolutely refuse to lose any part of my body. What if the magic stone found an anomaly again and you went to fix it?

When I was driven by anxiety, I finally heard his voice.

"Hey, Nica. Prison isn't such a good thing, is it?

"Yeah. I'm glad you didn't come in. Okay, so get me out of here."

"Well, what do we do? I want to keep you locked up so no one sees you."

"No more! I'm not kidding. Come on!

The old me would have been frightened that it was a Lanobe Street expansion. But now I know that this world is not Lanobe. I've been spending a lot of time with you, Raphael, and I also duly understood that he wasn't willing to make me look terrible.

"Are you kidding...? Right, I can't get in touch with you with this. So I'll try to weaken the water momentum. What do you say?"

The water flow slowed down considerably so Raphael's face on the other side could be seen blurry. By analogy, it feels like the rain is pinching the glass across from each other on both sides of the slamming window.

"Raphael......"

"This is what Nica used to tell you, isn't it?

"Yes."

He remembered me. He doesn't fool around with my admiration and accepts the whole thing.

My loving feelings overflowed as soon as I could, and I reached for his face. Cold water touches my fingers and I pass on my wrists and fall. Raphael reaches out just as much when he laughs cously when he sees me like that.

- Hands and hands overlapping over the water wall. A distance I'm going to touch and can't touch any more. I want to see clearly the faces of people I like, but that doesn't even come true.

'Cause if we get any closer, it's definitely gonna get wet.

Even over the water wall, Rafael was beautiful. Golden hair and purple eyes, hands bigger than those days touching me. But it just looks blurry, so I kind of don't hang up.

Even on the occasion I admired it, I don't like places like this!

I want to touch you beyond the water.

I think of Raphael and my chest hurts. But he doesn't notice, he pulls his hand in. My hand, which is no longer a place to go, wiggles running water for warmth...... it's supposed to be!?

"I can't stretch any further. Looks like there's an invisible wall. I wonder what that means?

"Well, for once, it's a prison, right? There's a magic barrier, so there's no way you can get out right away."

"Really? Then even if the guard weakens the water momentum with a magic stone..."

"Sorry I seem to smash your dreams, but you won't be able to break out of jail first"

"I didn't know."

It was a dangerous place.

Even if I walked in here with all the evil, Zildo, knowing the circumstances, wouldn't even have prepared me for jailbreak. Well, then the twisted love with him was a fantasy from the beginning, right?

I do not regret coming to the jail of the Water Palace.

'Cause I'm already...

"Thank you, Raphael. Reproduce my dreams."

"You're welcome. So? Nica, have you had enough?

"Come on, what?

"Have you given up on Jildo?

I can't read Raphael's expression.

I wonder what he looks like now. Angry face, calm appearance, or grinning to tease?

"Raphael, please. Get me out of here."

"You have no choice if you ask me to be cute. Look, come on."

In an instant, the water wall disappears.

If you noticed, I was stuck in his arms, pulled by Raphael. The look on his face I looked up was more serious than usual. He can't be...

"Hey, Raphael. Could you be jealous of Zildo?

I didn't miss the moment my cheeks turned crimson. It's rare for Raphael. Well, isn't he always confident?

"What if I said yes? Zildo is married, but he is also Nica's longing. In the years you keep thinking, I can't win."

To his words, I felt my breasts get hot. Raphael is kind of cute because he seems to be stubborn.

Raphael gave Zildo the job, probably to keep him away from me. I heard he was married, and I guess I gave him a guard position with confidence. But I'm worried about my reaction, so I dared bring him here today. To show reality.

Really, he really likes me.

But if you think about it, I'm not losing either. Attracting the head of someone I love, I stand on my toes and whisper softly in my ear.

"Hey, Raphael. Come here. Okay, but I was just admiring this scene more than Zildo. Enough about the jail and the gilds. You're the one who likes me. I want to be nearest to you."

"Nica!"

Raphael holds me so tight that it hurts. A painful but comfortable, lover's beat overlaps mine.

"Nica, I love you."

"I love you, too."

I do not regret visiting the prison of the Water Palace. I wasn't supposed to be attracted to guards.

Because I was already... imprisoned by Raphael.
