... There are branches of trees in front of me with blue skies and sparse leaves.

The knight's clothes are worn out with cuts all over his body.

My arms and legs don't move either as I wonder if my bones are broken.

I fought Iscarios... no, it wasn't even a fight.

Unilaterally knocked down citations, kicked off the walls, and luckily caught on to the branches of tall street trees.

I am now in the middle of a natural healing.

Kind of a situation that reminds me of when I first met the fairies in Eisenburg.

'Put the seal back, I should have told you.

My judgment is wrong.

It's not your fault.

I wasn't strong enough, and I lacked calm.

Blade would have been pissed off if he was watching...

With my barely moving right hand I cover my face.

It sucks.

Mention flirted with words, overwhelmed even in battle.

I knew how strong he was, but I can't believe he did it without skin so far...

Defeat carries thought in a negative direction.

Reminds me of what Iscarios said.

I (...) do (...) death (...) no (...) and (...) with (...) me (...) li (...) a (...) a (...) heart (...) with (...) scratches (...) and (...) let's (...).

I thought that my death would only mean that I would never see another human being around me again.

But Iscarios denied the idea.

He said that my death meant that some of Meliá would die.

I don't know.

I don't know what that means.

You guys know that?

What happens to you when Merliah dies?

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

The words of the masterpiece pierce me.

If Melia dies...

No. I can't even imagine.

However, given my condition when Merliah was gone after the theatrical performance...

At least you won't be able to go back to me now.

I love Meliá.

I want to protect it.

I want to spend some time with you.

I want to touch Meliá, I want to exchange my words, my heart.

Death takes it all away.

If Merliah thinks the same way I do, I'll take all those thoughts away from her.

The wind shakes and the trees squirm, and the green leaves shine in the sun.

The cheer of the people floating at the festival reaches this far.

I'm gone from this world full of color and sound.

Leave Meliá behind.

Iscarios found it irresponsible.

I see, you're right.

When I returned to my home after natural healing, Merliah was back.

"Mr. Cruz! Welcome back...... what the hell!?

That outfit!?

"I was working out"

"Workout..."

"I'm fine. I'm not hurt."

I take off my knight's clothes and put my sleeves through the hemp shirt that Meliá used to buy me.

"Mr. Cruz...... are you sure you're okay?

Meliá sounds worried on my back.

"I'm not hurt"

"Sometimes it's not okay if you're not hurt.

That's what people are for, isn't it?

Humans…?

It's ironic.

I can't believe that Homunculus, which should have been built to fight for and on behalf of humans more robust than humans, would hurt humans with the quote of dying faster than humans, about it.

And... I can't believe it was Melia who wanted to protect me more than anyone else that would hurt me.

"Oh...... it's not okay"

I had a surprisingly weak voice myself.

"Mr. Cruz."

Meliá's fingers are on me. [M]

The hand turned to my chest, and I was held by Meliá.

"Tell me what happened.

You two might be able to handle something you can't hold alone. "

Meliá's body temperature comes from her back.

When I touched Merliah, when she touched me, my emotions wobbled so much that I couldn't help myself.

I must have planted a precarious and irrational human spirit with Meliá.

"I have to be alone..."

"What?"

I loosen Meliá's arm and turn around and face each other.

"Iscarios ordered me to serve in the Crusaders"

"From Master Iscarios!?

"Oh. I become quite a fighter.

It would be more useful to hit the Demon King's Army than let them play in a peaceful imperial capital. "

Meliá retreats as if standing.

"No... Mr. Cruz gave the order..."

"I don't want to take it.

But you can't disobey the general's orders any more than you can live in an empire.

So - "

I take a beat and say the next word. [M]

"I'm going to run away from the empire.

I can't go and die myself.

I want to escape beyond the sight of the Empire and live in peace. "

What do I look like now? [M]

As far as I can guess from Merriam's expression, do you look amazingly pitiful?

"Ok......

That's right.

Mr. Cruz is not from the Empire, and being a knight is like becoming.

You have no obligation to fight for your life.

Master Iscarios is here, and even without Mr. Cruz, the Imperial Army will surely win.

So don't worry about it. "

Meliá smiles faintly and holds my hands.

The way I held that hand was soft as dealing with eggs, and he seemed to care for me.

"Then I'll have to get ready, too.

In the meantime, when you're done with your Millennium Festival work, write it down, do your homework, and prepare your road bank. "

"Are you going to follow Melia, too?

I raise my voice in surprise.

Meliá is Kyoton, with a face.

"Isn't that obvious?

Neither the Rollingens nor the Leavendelds had a blood connection in the first place, rather because it was all about being used well by the body.

I can't leave my loved ones to be used by people who aren't important. "

That's how Nimmer laughed.

"I don't think you should worry about Riml.

Because it's Prince Daryl's favorite, and the Empress has been caring about it lately.

But you can't go without talking about anything, can you?

I need to talk to you tonight. "

"That's no good"

I said to block Meliá's words.

"Yeah... but even Riml seems to like Mr. Cruz...

Maybe they'll follow us. "

"I'm not talking about Riml.

Melia... I'm not taking you with me either.

I'm the only one fleeing the Empire. "

Meliá opened her eyes wide and looked at me.

"Homhom. Just calm down."

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

You guys shut up.

"With Meliá, it's a leg job.

I can get away quite a bit before I discover it alone. "

"That's... yes, but... so!

"It's something I do on my own.

I'm not going to bother Melia. "

Meliá nagged.

This is the right choice.

Even if we run away together, I die in less than a year. [M]

Then what's left of Meliá?

There is no way that Merriam, who abandoned her home and country, can live in an exotic land by herself.

Even if we survive luckily, it can't be better than our current routine, where we can live without any freedom in the Empire City.

So...

"Then! How do I feel! What happens!?

Melia looked up and yelled and grabbed the collar of my clothes.

"You just said it!

I don't want to leave my loved ones for someone I don't care about!

I want to be with Mr. Cruz all the time, until he dies!

Meliá lifts her eyebrows, eats away her teeth and stares at me.

I've never seen a face like this before.

"I know what it's like to escape the battle.

Nobody wants to die...

But aren't you trying to get away from me for a reason like you're a foot wrapper right now!?

Why!?

You've always protected me, ah... you've told me you love me... "

Tears in my eyes, reddening my cheeks, strength in my hand grabbing my collar.

"Did you hate being with me?

If so...... I give up.

If so! Say so! Say what! "

Meliá holds her hand and slaps me in the chest.

It's a weak woman's fist.

Even though there is no damage, I feel a tremendous crisis and my thoughts are dull and my body is stuck.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

At last Merliah began to cry.

Seeing the Shizukuishi of tears falling on the floor, the tears seemed like fragments of Meliá's heart.

I broke Merliah's heart. [M]

How long has it been since I heard Meliá's sobbing voice in the dimming room?

It was the sound of a knock on the visitor's door that marked the end of time like the bottom of that indelible deep hole.

"Dear Almeria! It's time!

I can hear people calling from outside the door and faint horse snorts.

Was he calling for a carriage?

"... if it's true, I'd like to keep an eye on Mr. Cruz by reneging on all his promises, because it's going to make a scene."

Melia wipes her tears with the sleeves of her clothes and grabs the trunk that was on the table.

"Because we're not cool with each other right now.

Set aside time to cool your head.

But don't ever do anything to me that leaves in silence...

Scattered. I can tell you a long time ago, but when you do that, I... it's going to be really bad.

So promise me.

Don't keep your mouth shut... "

When I received the fine Merriam voice in my ear, I just returned it, okay.

When Merliah opened the door, the visitor sounded surprised,

"Dear Almeria!? Haven't you been able to help?!?

"I'll get dressed inside.

Come on, let me out. "

I heard the wheels and the horse's hooves slamming the ground, and I turned away.

Well...

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Well, bye-bye!

Ignore us for as long as you can!

Hey, homhomhom!

What are you doing!?

[◆ Ozigi Sou]

"Merliah, what do you want me to do by pushing you away?

I freaked out because I cared what the general told me. '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Right.

Past as Iscarios said... this is the fear.

Even though I never felt it in danger of my life.

I've never seen Melia get angry like that before.

And I get it.

As Iscarios said, it's unbearably hard for Meliá to be gone.

That's why I got scared.

That it is certain to make you feel such a hard time.

Iscarios said deepening the relationship any further would cause more wounds.

So I tried to leave.

But even if I leave now, Melia still has a big scratch.

What can I do...

I sat down on the bed and nodded.

After a while the fairies' silence was broken.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

'You know, I really don't like it.

I'll give you direct advice on things like your heart's grip.

'Cause you were just a doll who would listen to human orders and fight until the other day.

Because I don't think anything has changed just because we told you to move your feelings. [M]

But let me tell you this time.

Think about how Merliah feels. '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

This is what's happening because I'm thinking about how Meliá feels!

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Wild boar]

'No, you haven't thought about it.

Didn't they tell you? "What happens to my feelings".

Right now, what Homhom is thinking is how not to hurt Meliá.

That's not to say I'm thinking about feelings. "

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

It's such a word game.

'Then I don't care how Merriam feels right now!!

Neither Iscarios nor Homhom is stupid!?

It would be human, but it would be homunculus, but one day he would die, and that might be tomorrow.

There's nothing you can do when you're dead, but there's something you can do now that you're alive!

If you were in Merliah's shoes, would you accept such a choice?

[◆ Wild boar]

'Oh, they said everything I wanted to say.

Plus, I don't even give advice like a correct answer anymore. '

[No name even if reincarnated]

"Merliah, you can't help it because it's a gift of bee love."

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

If I were in Merliah's shoes...

Merliah has only one year left to live, and she won't be notified of it, and she's trying to get away from me.

Suppose I'm in a situation like that...

... Oh, you know what?

Indeed, this is no longer the correct answer.

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Wild boar]

"Hi. Then open the answer"

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

There's no way I'll admit that.

Because if you leave now, you'll lose the year you were supposed to have had.

I don't like that.

Merliah's death is a lot harder than mine.

But you still have to take it.

Because I owe it to Meliá to live now.

He told me he was kind to Homunculus, who could only fight.

He taught me the fun and wonderful things in this world and tried to guide me through the way of life.

Because I'm someone who's more important and loves you than anyone else...

For Meliá, who became my reason to live, I will live, no matter how hard it is.

Even if Meliá is gone from this world...

The center of the body rapidly cools down.

After all, I just don't like to think about Merliah dying.

That's how much I think of Meliá.

If Meliá thinks the same of me...

I open the door and run out.

Run down the road in front of the house and out onto the main street.

So I was stunned. [M]

The boulevard is overflowing with people at the opening and holding of the Millennium Festival, and carriages are running here and there in various directions.

I can't find Merliah's carriage.

"I don't care, but I've never seen Homhom's sight like this before"

[◆ Ozigi Sou]

"Nice focus, but wow, I don't care"

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Ignoring the fairies' words, I walk down my gaze.

And I found what I was looking for.

I jumped at the man.

He's a civilian faced man with a completely unrecognizable face.

"Hih! What, what is it!?

He is scared with a tall voice.

"Homhom, akan akan!

Eight hits to the average person is out because you're being harsh!

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Ordinary? Is he?

I grabbed the man's shoulder and said:

"You should change the coordination of your whole body when you do disguises.

Exactly the same as when the shoe came forward, Victor. "

The man in front of him looks surprised for a moment, but the cheek area is unnaturally drawn.

"Oh...... my mask has collapsed.

Your opponent's intelligence efforts are too difficult. "

Stop backing up and talk normally, Victor.

It's just after I got bored with Iscarios.

If he was watching me, he would definitely be nearby.

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

"You know about Meliá anyway, don't you?

For example, where she went tonight, or something. "

Victor laughs at my question. [M]

"When I think about Ease, I guess I shouldn't crack my mouth here when I'm dead..."

I say and sigh.

"I owe you a lot.

Shall I pay for the interest? "

Victor lifted his hands and made a gesture of surrender.
