Cellas confirms the time.

"It's time for a change."

... Is it that time already?

Take Sellas towards the cave.

I disarmed [Sleep] and woke Eve.

Awakened Eve glances aside.

"Can Liz just let him sleep like this?

"Oh, let me put you to sleep now"

This cave is narrow.

Shrink yourself and sleep, Liz.

Slay laying low and sleeping.

Space-saving piggy pills.

The one in the back is buried with those three.

The space left is for two human sizes.

One has to go outside.

"I'll leave as soon as I wake up."

"I understand."

I'd like to head right over to the witch if possible.

but tough considering the wounds and fatigue.

Unknown realm ahead.

We should pinch the rest and keep our margins secure.

Eve goes outside.

He can safely be entrusted with the sentry...

Well,

"Go to sleep."

"Yeah, let's do that"

Cellas kneels over the laying cloth as she trims the hem of the garment.

On the laying cloth next door, I lay down too.

The cloth still had Eve's temperature.

Put your arms on a pillow and close your eyes.

…………

I can't sleep with my eyes open.

When I [sleep] on myself, I can't release it.

This is just risky.

I won't be able to deal with sudden threats either.

"- Can't you sleep?

"Looks like I'm nervous and can't sleep. It's good to just lie down..."

"Bye."

Pompom, and.

Sellas slapped himself on both knees.

"I don't know if this will calm you down."

"... in return for what you did before?

I used to be on my knee pillow side.

"Not like then, you're not kidding, are you?

"Go to sleep."

"Well... actually, I don't feel comfortable sleeping either."

I see.

Is that pre-construction?

I could tell by the tone of my voice.

Apparently, he wants to.

"... then don't hesitate"

Offset your body position and put your head on Cellus's knee.

Feels different than a common pillow.

Because of the temperature, the temperature is different.

"Knee pillows are as good as they used to be for my aunt."

……………………

"... Cellas?

Looking up, I can see Cellus's face over his chest.

He's staring down at me...

Those blue eyes were blurred.

"Cellas."

"... Huh?

"Are you tired today?

"- Oh,... well, I may just be tired today"

"Cut up your knee pillows and rest."

"Yes - Um, Lord Toka"

Thank you.

Cellas swallowed a spit.

"Consciously, right?

Hmm?

Conscious?

I tried to wake up my body, and I interrupt the motion.

"What are you talking about?"

"Your way of treating me has changed little by little"

I see.

"Did you notice that?"

"Yes, be me"

For example.

I changed from ”you” to ”you” little by little when I called.

Other distances were consciously ”made".

I was going to migrate to feel natural.

... but wasn't it perfect?

"Now I'm in a position to give instructions... and I felt that if I didn't create that kind of" attitude from the top, "I'd get a bad tooth cut everywhere."

This is the same for Eve.

In fact, Eve seemed a little hard to do.

but after changing it, the instructions and movement began to mesh exquisitely.

Meet the overlooking cellus.

"Are you uncomfortable?

"No. It's just..."

Cellas put his hand on both sides of my head.

As if, to envelop.

"Alone, do not bring"

"... did you look so much like that?

"Even the other day, when the demons attacked in unison, Lord Toka had an attitude that he could deal with it adequately. Eve and Liz saw the attitude and seemed comfortable."

Cellas' thin fingers gently comb my forehead.

... right.

I noticed.

"Have you been lying?"

"- Yes."

You broke my ”vanity” with the power of the Spirit.

"If you're going to deal with that number, I'm the only one with abnormal state skills and combined moves with Pigimaru... and if I give that little peek of anxiety, the Eves get anxious too. Especially Eve, right? If you become more guilty, you may act at your own expense."

So I needed to reassure you.

Toka will be fine.

Toka will surely survive.

Toka can beat those demons.

Attitudes and expressions also needed to be used and made to think so.

Well, Eve ends up popping out of this cave later.

"... Sometimes I get scared. One day Lord Toka, who imposed too much burden on himself... I wonder if it will break. That's what worries me."

…………

In fact, this Cellas concern becomes real as a result of the worst-

"- Maybe it's a pattern of promises."

Cuckoo, squirt.

"Toka, my lord...?

”Sucks."

environment that was placed at an early age.

That was no longer the "worst” extremes for me.

Small apartment.

"I'll break your arm, kid."

"Head down, kid."

"I'm not gonna kill you, kid."

"Look, Toka. I diluted it a little today! Detergent juice!

'What those eyes wow toca...... hey i'm gonna break it? We're gonna smash it?

"Why am I giving birth to this guy... why aren't you flushing it!? Careful, at least break it in your stomach, Toka!

Too narrow, hell.

At that time.

With the intent to kill, I strongly thought this.

- If you can break it, break it.

"I don't know about the others... but I don't think I can break that easily."

I'm probably already past what I think ”sucks”.

I'm sure there's nothing worse for me than that.

…………

That time I stuck my middle finger up to the goddess.

later abandoned ruins.

After all that, I took back the Toka back then.

With time.

I found that the ”normal” I created disappeared from within me.

If it had remained ”normal," it might have broken early in this world.

"But maybe that's just what Lord Toka thinks -"

"Cellas."

Raise your right hand.

Place hands on the smooth cheeks of the cellus.

She didn't wander around, and she didn't get out of sight.

"Yes."

"If you're really worried about me, don't -"

This is a good way to do it.

"Give me all you can."

"- Yes."

Rin and clear answers.

Cellas gently wrapped his finger around my right hand.

Please leave this to me, Lord Toka.

I try to get my hands back.

and Sellas' hands also naturally separated.

"Um... but don't hesitate to say anything when it's hard. Anything I can do, I'll take care of it."

"You're still an overprotective vice president."

Knock it off, and smile Cellas.

"At least, I'd like you to describe it as devotional"

"My sister."

"Huh?"

"If I had a sister, maybe it would be like this"

…………

…………

"Speaking of which, Lord Toka, how many are you?

Hmm?

Didn't we talk?

I spoke of my age.

And, Cerus made me squeeze my eyes.

"Huh? Lord Toka......, are you younger!?

"No, a high elf is a long life after all, isn't it? I only hope so..."

That's why some aspects of me had a hard time getting used to the tone of orders.

Sellas pointing to himself.

"Nineteen."

Huh?

"Your age?

Knock, knock, knock, knock.

…………

I was younger than I thought.

No... the amount of reading, the knowledge, it's amazing.

"If I lived for a hundred years or so, I assumed on my own..."

Cellas, the intellectuals who begins to explain while confused.

"Well... the most active period of physical condition in a lifetime is what we call the" living stage "… the Elves are considered to have a longer living period than other species"

Does it feel like it has a long healthy life?

Plus, anti-aging elements - like that?

"Some people, though, have the same degree of appearance and age match as humans. Some people have a short life expectancy, and some have a life expectancy almost the same as human life expectancy until they die."

So, they say high elves are a species that is particularly prone to prolonged life spans.

A young and active period lasts 100 or 200 years.

Some of those high elves, he said.

It's just that Cellas is only nineteen years old.

So they're not old enough to measure the live phase yet.

Right...... is Sellas a relatively young high elf?

"Nineteen, huh"

Hmm?

"- Wait. How old did you think I was in the first place?

"Since your early twenties, I was wondering if it was the middle of nowhere... do you say you are too calm"

"... I see"

I joked a little bit.

"So, am I going to be treated like my brother from now on?

"Yes, no - you are the king of this” Fly King no Battle Regiment ”. Whether younger or not, I am not willing to change my attitude to a king who has vowed allegiance yet. Don't worry."

"... Fly King, huh?"

King of flies.

"Even so, King Fly's mask is only worn to cover his face... and I like it. It's just that I'm not the king's vessel."

No, Lord Toka.

Cellas brings his face closer.

"You are now my -"

Her lustrous blonde hair sarallied on those white cheeks.

"It's irreplaceable, it's just one king"

When I realized it, my consciousness was fading.

I hear drowsiness has come.

Consciousness depresses into deep darkness.

"... of... ooh... to... eh...?

Sellas is saying something...... looks like.

But I don't know what you're talking about.

uncomfortable.

Strange plush.

Only a feeling of comfort caresses the surface of my consciousness.

Consciousness falls there...
