Sakura looked up at the cherry blossoms and had long regretted it since earlier.
I wondered why you didn't notice. The discomfort has been present for a long time. That's when you should have wondered more. What the hell was I doing?
There is no way that human personality can change so easily. Not to mention, what I wanted from Lilia is a way of thinking that's arguably the opposite of what I've ever wanted. Lilia, who has lived as a typical Duke until now, is an idea that cannot be adapted immediately.
Still, Lilia made an effort. I did. I have been forced to restrain myself until now and act as Sakura says. It was true that initially there was still room for improvement, but lately it had come to the ideal of Sakura. How much did you keep your mind under control?
As a result, a bomb was created in Lilia's mind. It's a bomb that condenses your pride as a nobleman into whether your heart is still this. I think it's something that hasn't exploded before often.
"I did something bad to Lilia..."
Sakura's whining melts into the darkness. Sakura sighed and began to think about future policies.
When she returned to the inn, Tina was helping prepare the dining room. I have eyes to eyes with Tina, who raised her gaze, and I try to laugh. Tina smiled like never before. Seeing that, Lilia became bitter so her chest could be tightened.
Go up to the third floor without any particular greetings. I went straight into the room and sat in bed.
I remember what Sakura was saying. In my heart is no more. A much more reciprocal friend may be looking down on himself. I guess that's what Tina thinks. Lilia said she had no choice. It doesn't matter if they're Keith or not.
Explain it to Tina?
Lilia immediately shook her head. Tina has asked Lilia. I was wondering if that was the real deal. And Lilia replied that she meant it. How does Lilia explain it now? Now he's still smiling back at me, albeit inexorably. If I'm really disappointed and it's not even gone.
I was slightly surprised at myself thinking so. Would I have ever been a weaker person? I should have thought so, not to care about people. I do still have myself that I don't mind being alone then. But at the same time, I don't want to lose a friend I've finally made.
I don't know what to do. Sakura, who relies on me at a time like this, remains silent long after that. When I wondered if I had been abandoned to Sakura, my chest became painful as soon as possible. Nature and tears overflow.
- Sakura...... Hey, you're asking, aren't you? Answer me...
Nobody responds to anything. Only silence flows.
- Please, so...
Soon Lilia was falling asleep, tired of crying, while she was crying and calling all the time.
That's how we get to the usual black world. It's where Sakura is. The usual cherry blossoms just don't look cheerful for some reason. At the root of the cherry blossom, Sakura sat down and thought of something.
"Ah..."
The moment I saw Sakura, I was relieved. I wasn't abandoned, he said. But I don't know yet. Maybe I'll be abandoned from now on. The moment she thought so, Lilia was rushing out to Sakura.
"Sakura!"
Call it out loud. Then Sakura looked up just a little surprised.
"Is that it, Lilia? How did you get here? I bet you haven't called me yet...... Wop."
I was about to say something. Embrace Sakura. Don't let them get away with it, strong.
"Lilia? What's the matter with you? What, are you crying!? Yeah, well, you can't help crying, can you? All right, all right."
Sakura strokes Lilia. I'd usually be a little angry, but I'm comfortable with that hand just today. After doing so for a while, Lilia finally opened her mouth.
"Sakura..."
"Hmm? What?
"Please...... Don't abandon me..."
Sakura responds to what Lilia said by trying to squeeze it out, but nothing. When I got anxious and looked at Sakura's face, my eyes were open and solidified.
"Eh...... Abandon me? Lilia?"
Nodding only once, Sakura smiled bitterly.
"I won't do that. I'm the only one on Lilia's side, no matter what."
"But you didn't say anything..."
"Uh...... I'm sorry about that. 'Cause I've been thinking a little bit about the future."
"In the future?"
"Yeah. Lilia, let's talk for a second"
To Sakura's words, Lilia finally woke up. Sit in front of her, as she tells you. Sakura really coughed once, I said.
"I want Lilia to be admired by all kinds of people. I want people of all kinds, including civilians, to admire me, not just nobles."
"I can't. You'll find out about today. I'm sure we'll fail somewhere."
"Yeah. I think so"
Lilia tilted her neck small enough to admit it lightly. Sakura is a serious expression.
"My father said so. He said he wouldn't be admired just for being nice. Sometimes people admire people who are tough and firmly angry. Lilia has always been like me lately."
I'm responsible for all this, but Sakura laughs bitterly. If you shake your head that's not the case, Sakura still just laughs.
"My knowledge and common sense belong to where I was before. So my thoughts are civilian. I think this bothered Lilia a lot. I'm sorry."
Sakura bowed her head when she said that.
"That's not true. Because I couldn't do it properly..."
"Lilia's hanging in there. I've been watching Lilia. I say. Definitely."
When they say that to the face, Lilia doesn't feel bad either. I guess so, but I shook my head immediately. That's not a good idea.
"More about the future than that, though."
Sakura says, Lilia nods.
"I really think better than civilians. Tell me exactly what Lilia thinks is strange, too. 'Cause the way nobility thinks really isn't perfect."
"Yeah...... Okay."
"Future policy, but just stay where you are. However, you can be angry where you should be. But there's no way to look down on people. Never like today."
That stained me painfully. Nodding heavily, Sakura also nodded with a serious look.
"If you can't stand it, I'll listen. Don't hesitate to be my opponent."
"Are you sure? I'll tell you anything?
"Ugh... Hey, I'm kind of scared, but keep coming! Take it with angel inclusiveness!
"Thank you. I will."
"Ugh... I'm in trouble when I'm seriously returned..."
Sakura was blushing in embarrassment as she said herself. To that appearance, Lilia slightly loosens her cheeks. I've always been anxious, but if you talk to me, Sakura is as usual. To that, it's very much saved. I don't know if I'm aware of Sakura.
"Hey, Sakura"
"Hmm?"
"Tina and the... I guess I should just say make up. You think you can do that?
Sakura's expression got worse. Only then will I know the answer to the sarcasm. Even though what I said is the cause, the relationship as it is is is still lonely.
Sakura seemed to think with a difficult look, but eventually snorted firmly.
"Time will fix it, I wouldn't exactly say... Still, I'm sure you'll find out someday. It's okay."
There is no basis in Sakura's words. But still, I can honestly believe it. Is it because Sakura believes she will not betray herself?
"Sakura. Today its...... I'm sorry. And thank you. I'm gonna ask you to keep doing this."
"You don't have to worry. So good luck with that."
That said, Sakura gives me a full smile. Lilia nodded happily at it, closing her eyes.
"Just give me a little rest."
I felt like I heard Sakura say that.
