Coming up from the bath, Meliá was dressed in her bedroom.

The shiny white fabric negligee wraps her body around to stick perfectly.

My cheeks are faintly stained red because the bathing has improved my blood color.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Take a bath Merriam-kitter!!

[No name even if reincarnated]

"● REC"

[No name even if reincarnated]

'Yes, yes! This is what I need to moisturize everyday!

You know what I mean! Homhom!

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

I don't know, I don't know...

But it calms Melia down to be in the same room.

Riml urged him to sleep in bed because he was utter, he fell silently to the edge of the bed, so much so that he lost it and fell asleep.

Me and Merliah had a small conversation to keep Riml awake.

When she finished telling him what Riml had heard, Merliah cried out like she had cut a weir.

"It's too much...

Why should she fit such an eye?

Even after I left the church, even though I was badly eyed...

So skinny and worn out... "

"It's over now.

For now, I can prepare you a meal and a place to live. "

"If only we'd turned back then and protected them...

I wonder why I couldn't imagine this happening... "

I couldn't imagine...?

Everyone who was there at that time was willing to clean up all the problems in the church.

I was making it high that if I left it to the requested adventurer, it would be okay.

But I think he took the Rimls lightly somewhere.

If Meliá had stayed in that church, I would have left the city without asking Blade to stop me.

"It's impossible to save all humans.

Our power is narrow. "

I shrugged.

Melia brutally wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"Are the other kids okay..."

"I don't know.

But even turning back to Lake Hill now makes it harder to follow footsteps.

You better avoid acting with the intention of making amends. "

Merliah narrows her eyes to my words.

"Mr. Cruz......

Isn't it a little cold?

Surely I wouldn't be able to do anything...

It must be people who want to do something. "

Melia blames me.

Cold, I know what that means and why.

But I think there's nothing I can do about it.

"I wasn't going to buy Riml at first.

I listened to the human rumors around me and bought the idea again because it was a life-threatening issue for her, but that wouldn't have worked without the money either.

Riml was helped.

Instead, one of the children sold on that spot was to walk the end of the road that Limul was supposed to follow.

There are many people who follow an unfortunate fate.

I can't reach out to all of that.

Because the world is much bigger than I can reach. "

I said what I thought. [M]

Melia grabbed the fist she put on her lap all the time.

"I know.

So I'm sorry and I'm crying. "

I agree that I regret it.

But I don't cry. [M]

Would I know how Merliah feels more if I shed tears?

"At least...... I just want to help this kid.

Otherwise I don't deserve to live... "

"How can you come up with that?

I'm not a stranger, and it's just that she's unhappy.

But it doesn't have anything to do with Meliá's life. "

Meliá gets upset with my question and responds to her whining. [M]

"She's the old me.

If I wasn't lucky, I might have followed the same path as her. "

With her face up, Merliah smiled slightly and stared into my eyes.

"I am the daughter of the Rollingens, but the Lexies...... I have no blood connection to the Rollingens.

It was picked up by Katrine von Riedenbeld, who dowry with the Rollingens, and was welcomed as an adopted son by the Rollingens as a forgetful sight after their death.

I don't remember before I met Master Catherine.

When you pick up a place wandering the wilderness dressed in a worn out outfit, I think it's the moment my life begins.

Unless it was Master Catherine who was picked up.

If it had been picked up by bad aristocrats and slave traders, I wouldn't be here right now. "

I was surprised by Merliah's sudden confession, but at the same time I was convinced.

Because actions and thoughts that lacked nobility, for better or worse, were hidden from Meliá.

"I didn't understand such a simple thing.

Until I traveled with Mr. Cruz and met a lot of people.

Now I have the opportunity to know about it and get more strength from Her Majesty the Empress.

So it's not like I'm gonna make amends or repay you... but I want to help kids like Riml and the others as much as I can.

I'm lucky to be alive, and I think that's what I need to do. "

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

"I feel a great bubble in Mama Meliá......"

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Don't tear it up. But that's a lovely dream.

It feels extra like this because it's such a killer world. '

[No name even if reincarnated]

"I wonder if Collins, who built the church, felt that way at first."

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Don't be with those animals."

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Now I know why Melia's strength of thought bet on Riml.

I don't deny it either.

I think Merliah is right, and kind.

Children who live and scratch in slums, children who are treated like things by slave traders and bought and sold, and children who are ravaged by adults, if there is a future to be saved, it is better.

"If more and more people think like Merriam, one day there will be no unhappy children"

Merliah blushed her cheeks at my words.

"Ma, I haven't done anything just thinking about it yet!

I can't change anything without doing the service I received from Her Majesty the Empress and being more great!

But I'm going to start by helping Riml in front of me. "

Merliah's right, what we need to do is not waste this opportunity to save Riml.

Clarifying his ears, he heard Riml's calm sleep.

After that, we gave the schedule for tomorrow.

It seems that Merliah will be visiting the Baron's Salon in the morning for a request to cooperate with the Millennium Festival.

They'll visit the aristocracy and the chamber of commerce afterwards, but they say they'll be back by night.

I leave the house after noon to train the knights and guard the Empress, and it will be after noon the day after tomorrow.

When she finished the conversation, Merliah headed to bed and lowered her hips next to Riml's right.

I blow out the candles on my desk.

A slight starlight is plugged in through the window.

"Doesn't Mr. Cruz sleep?

The rim is smaller on the left edge of the bed, and even if Meliá slept next to it, there is barely room on the bed for me to sleep side by side.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Okay! Assault!

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Ohhhhhh!!

There would be a turning night of pleasure without Riml!!

[◆ Baron Eguchi]

'Think the other way.

It's more exciting when you can't speak up. "

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

"I'm fine here."

That's what I said as I sat in my chair shaking off the words of Meliá and the fairies.

Then Merliah stares at me. [M]

"What's up?

"No, come here for a second"

That's what Melia says. She bends her fingertips small and makes a gesture.

I knelt on my bed so that I could be caught, and as I approached Meliá,

"Eh."

She hung up mischievously and Meliá hugged me on my hips and tried to drag me down to bed - but...

"... Mr. Cruz. You have a strong trunk."

"Well, I guess so"

It's not as pompous as being defeated by Meliá's arm power.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

◆ Works with

"It's super pompous! You are!!

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Homhom, come on..."

[No name even if reincarnated]

'Don't resist! Stay put, but stay put!

Do! Please!

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Either you resist or you don't.

I lay down my body a little easy on the noisy fairies. [M]

Riml and I fell asleep in bed side by side in the form of a pinch of Merliah.

Meliá's arm is spinning on me.

"It's kind of strange.

I can't believe Mr. Cruz is in Imperial City after his journey, and this is how he can spend time under the same roof. "

Meliá's twinkle, which seems delightful, also acts on my feelings.

"Oh. I'm glad too"

With that said, Merliah pushed her forehead against my shoulder.

The more the body touches, the more comfort and restlessness it feels intruded into the stronger the power to connect.

I can see the thought circuit slowly going crazy.

I have myself asking for it, even though it's supposed to be dangerous.

Being human means maybe getting instability.

As I looked at the ceiling and thought about it, I eventually heard Meliá's sleep.

The breathing sound of a certain rhythm makes her feel alive.

Has the sense of relief and comfort exceeded the tolerance?

I haven't slept in a while to rest myself. [M]

The next morning, when I woke up, there was a roasting sound and smell of meat coming from the kitchen.

But Meliá is still resting on her bed.

When I got up and headed to the kitchen, Limul was cooking with some of Meliá's cookware.

He chops handily rewarmed meat and makes a sandwich by sandwiching it in bread along with vegetables exposed to water.

Riml noticed I was watching breakfast for three on a plate.

"Good morning. Your husband."

Your husband... Oh, you mean me.

"Can you cook?

"Yes. I was doing a whole street of chores when I was in church.

You can read and write Ifestio.

I also have arithmetic and aristocratic manners as knowledge.

And the whistle, the song and the dance, to the extent of hands-on learning... "

Riml returns a lot of answers to my question.

"I think I can help you a lot when it comes to the house.

If you can keep your mouth shut, you can even get out to work.

If you can have dinner, there's nothing else you want.

So... "

Riml kneels on the floor and lowers his head.

"Please... put it here!

I'll do anything for you two, and I'll never bother you!

Please!

Seeing Riml begging, I thought anxiety and fear were stuck on his back.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

'I thought you'd be dumped because Merriam's here.

If I tease you, you two only look like lovers or a couple. "

[◆ Ozigi Sou]

'Too pitiful to cry...

I'm assuming they'll dump me if I don't show they're useful. '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

I approach Riml and get her up. [M]

Bend your hips and align your gaze to her height.

"I'm fine. Riml can live here.

Me and Meliá want to help you. "

Riml still looks anxious.

You won't be able to save her with my awkward words.

But...

"I suck at living.

I can't cook, and I'm often told I don't have common sense.

Even Meliá looks solid, and some things are so clumsy.

I think you're no better at living than I am. "

I hold Riml's hand softly.

Riml hardened his body a little, but quickly lost his strength.

"So let's live together for three to live.

I'm glad you're here. [M]

It's true. "

I don't know if I can change the heart that Riml grew up to live while hurting.

I think that's okay.

Imperfect or unstable, that is a sign that Lillum is human.

I can protect where she needs to live. [M]

"Oh...

I was going to wake up early... "

I'm moaning when I see the breakfast Meliá was able to serve.

Apparently, you wanted to wake up early, make breakfast and show Riml the good part.

But from the look on my face, I'm happier than sorry, but I look like I'm winning.

"Come on, let's all have breakfast"

I grabbed the plate and called on both of you.
