Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

If you defeat a giant enemy, the rest is the process of dissolution.

The Royal Army is running at the end of the day, but that's not our job.

James, the head of the court magician, also walked away from me to participate in the aftermath.

Meanwhile, Satsuki rushes up to me dressed and dressed like I was waiting for this time.

"Will, I missed you!

"Oops!"

Satsuki jumped at me and hugged me.

I lose the momentum and get pushed down.

"Will, will...!

"Oh, hey, Satsuki"

"Egg... I was scared. I thought I was gonna die... hiccup."

"... right"

The satsuki that pushed me down. But he was whimpering small over my chest.

Until then, the emotions I suppressed exploded because I came to a place I didn't need to suppress.

I am so sweet and sweet about my hair.

"You've had a rough time."

"... yeah. Without Will, it would be so hard."

"I don't think that's the problem. But you did your best."

"Yeah."

While I wasn't watching, I don't know what happened in front of Satsuki and what she felt.

But I slap Satsuki on the back like a child and hold her gently.

I thought that would calm me down and make me feel better.

I also thought it might look like a relationship between a man and a woman from the field, but I decided to break that off already.

Then Cyril walked over there and peered us down from the top.

"Fine, when Satsuki is like this, I can't hesitate to do that. Envy."

"What would Cyril do the same? If you eat poison, it's even a plate."

"I won't be shy. Something I have shame on, something I don't hear."

"I remember hearing that rhetoric somewhere."

"I remember saying that somewhere, too. Come on, it's not that short of a relationship."

Say it. Cyril laughs when she dulls.

I got a lot of laughter, too.

Then Cyril looks around and asks.

"By the way, what happened to Mi?

"Oh. Sorry for her, but I left it in front of the ruins. I had no other means."

"I see. Well, if we don't go and collect it soon, we might be stubborn by now."

"Right."

When me and Cyril were talking about that, now King Andrew and Irene came to me side by side.

When it's time to wake up and stand up a calm satsuki, I give a small toast to King Andrew.

Andrew, in armor, laughed and talked to Ni.

"Looks like we've got more colored men than ever before, William. But more than that, should we now honor ourselves as William the hero of salvation?"

He's King Andrew's usual good mouth.

I try to respond calmly.

"... no. I'm an adventurer, so I just fulfilled the requested quest. And I'm not the only one who could defeat that demon king. Your Majesty knows that very well."

"Even so. Without you, this country would probably have perished. Be proud of that job. Besides, the people want heroes. I think an adventurer named William and his line have accomplished what they deserve to be called."

"... it's a waste of time"

"There it is. It was therefore decided to hold a ceremony at a later date to honor the hero William and his fellow beauty adventurers. I will also give you a special reward for this quest there. The ceremony is ruined without the guest of honor, so please join us."

"Okay. Then you'll receive your quest reward at the ceremony."

- Wait.

I thought they said something terrible right now.

But King Andrew is going to ignore my reaction and move on.

"The place is the royal castle of Graysburg, the king's capital. With regard to daylight saving, we shall then use the spell of communication (contact) to convey it. I'll see you at the ceremony next."

King Andrew just said what he wanted to say and turned his heel back, and just went over there.

As far as I'm concerned, I have no choice but to be blunt.

The influence of being honored as a hero in a formal ceremony is immeasurable.

But I followed King Andrew and talked to him, and there's no reason just to refuse the courtesy.

How did this happen......

But there, I realize one thing.

King Andrew left, but Eileen was still standing before me.

And when she smiled at me, she said to me,

"Hey, Will. I need to tell you something."

A while later.

We were on the back of a dragon, traveling in the sky.

Heading there, in front of the ruins where Mi waits.

Having fulfilled the quest we received from the country, all we have to do is rendezvous with Mi and return.

So besides me, the only people on Ildora's back are Satsuki and Cyril.

It should have been.

"Irene, are you glad you didn't join the Royal Army and go home?

"Yeah. To your father, because I've told him right"

Irene, who fits right behind me, answers my question like that.

Eileen told me she needed to talk to me, and she followed us.

The quest itself is complete, so the reason she's following her client is because it's no longer there.

By the way, she insisted hard on sitting right behind me when riding on Irdola's back.

Satsuki pointed his mouth at it once, but when Eileen said "please" in a serious tone, Satsuki took down her claim sooner or later that she sensed something as well.

That's why I have Eileen right behind me right now.

I'm pretty sure there's something important to talk about...

"Hey, Will."

Eileen speaks with few words.

Plus, I'm depressed with a minimal gavel.

"What?"

"Me."

"Oh."

"I like Will."

"............... right"

I got Eileen's confession. I was calmer than I imagined myself.

Oh, my God, that's still the feeling.

I've always assumed as a possibility, and yet I've half consciously avoided any further perceptions.

But if you put it this way in this situation, there's no other way to interpret it.

Still, Eileen overlaps words to see if she's still anxious.

"Of a woman and a man, in a romantic sense, right?

"I know."

"I know."

"Oh."

"You knew all along?

"No. I'm convinced now that you've confessed."

"... So ever, I thought you might be?

"Well, as a possibility."

"Eh, what the hell is that? I sound like an idiot."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to fool you."

"... yeah. When Will says that, I know he's not lying. I can use the magic of Will's exclusive Lie Break."

"That's scary. Don't I lie to Eileen?"

"Pfft, I am. Will forbids me to lie. - So, that's why. I'm so scared to hear this."

"Oh."

The truth is, if I could just tell you how I feel, I'd go with it, but, you know, I'd ask.

"Oh."

"... what does Will think of me?

The Irene's voice was, nodding, trembling.

I can't help but be scared, that's the voice.

I'll think about it for a moment and answer only the easiest part.

"I'm sure you don't hate it."

"Yeah, I know that"

"You know."

"Well, I know about that. That's too stupid about me. - But I'm not. What I want to hear is beyond that."

Eileen accidentally hugged me from behind.

And in my ear, I'm gonna whisper.

"... will you like me, as a girl... as someone in love"

The last one, weak and faint enough to hear.

Her early-bell-like heartbeat comes from Irene's chest, which adheres to my back.

It turns out that Eileen is working so hard on her courage right now.

Dishonest replies, you can never.

I don't...

"... Eileen"

"Yes."

"I apologize first. I'm not sure I can explain my feelings well."

"... yeah. I know. Even I can't help but feel my feelings."

"Oh.... on top of that, I don't know what to say... I probably like you"

"Maybe."

"Oh. I think you're cute, I think you're lovely, and I think you're lovely. You were beautiful in that dress, and I like you. If you're my partner in life, I think that would be great."

"Ahhh... ahhh... Oh, yeah... Eh, heh... haha..."

I could see Eileen hugging behind her back lit up on Gundan.

That makes me smile, and I feel happy too.

But the problem is...

"But then, what's the word 'maybe'?

"Well, that's... I want you to calm down and listen to this."

"Ugh, yeah."

I can hear Eileen spitting.

I make up my mind and release the word.

"Hi, I like not only Eileen, but Satsuki and Mi and Cyril."

…………

Eileen's words stopped.

Now it was my turn to await judgment.

In short, I confessed that I feel like I like more than one woman at the same time.

It is the so-called "four strands" one.

Eileen's face, floating with contempt, comes to mind behind her brain.

Now Irene, what do you think?

Do you think an impudent like me should die?

That awesome swordsmanship could make you two straight from your back in anger.

No, I don't think I would do that only to Eileen, but I was prepared enough to be.

Wait for the hour of judgment.

The next thing Irene said...

"... uh, that's all?

It was such a voice, like clapping it out.

...... hmm?

"Oh.... still, well, that's all"

"Uh... I mean, well. Does Will mean he's not sure it's about loving each and every one right because he feels like he loves me, Satsuki, Mi, and Mr. Cyril?

"... well, in summary, is that what happens"

"Huh. ─ ─ Sort of. Oh, my God. Sort of. Sort of. Eh heh heh."

Eileen began to raise her voice, somewhat happy.

How does that happen?

It's time for me not to understand.

"By the way, do you know that, Satsuki? Will said he loved Satsuki and all of them."

"No, at least I never told you that from my mouth..."

"Eh. Wow, a stranger situation than I thought. But, hell, I'm the only one who knows the status quo. Oh, shit, uhihihihihihi."

Finally, Eileen started to break.

In the meantime, a one-sided plea of not guilty seems to have escaped......

"Hey, Will."

"Hey, what's up, Eileen?

"I love Will. I like you. That doesn't change even if you even liked Satsuki or Mi or Cyril. Leave me alone if that feels right or not right. I like you."

"... well"

... what is this?

I don't know, did it fit round?

While I was alone in battle, Eileen was happily hugging me.
