I Favor the Villainess

"So, who is it... Manaria-sama, are you kidding me?"

I asked Manaria with a dry laugh.

After all, there is no way that Manaria will forget about Claire.

Is Claire important to her... important...?

"I really don't understand any jokes or anything.Rather, is the first name that comes out of waking up another woman, not Lily or me? "

"Ah... um..."

"Well, that's fine. So? Who's Claire?"

Claire... Claire...

"Who is it...?"

This name is familiar to the mouth as if it were a familiar phrase.

The meaning had been tied to my head just now, but now the clouds have dispersed.

Sure... it was a very important name.

"Can't you remember?"

"Yes, but I think it was the name of a very important person."

"I'm jealous. But I am, so Lily will be in trouble if she asks.You shouldn't talk in front of her. "

"Why?"

Why is it so hard in front of Lily?

"... are you sure you're okay, Ray? Lily is your lover."

Manaria-sama says worriedly.

Lovers...?

Miss Lily?

I wonder if so.

Lily and I?

"... it's serious. I don't think Lily should see her until she feels better.I'm sure Ray would be upset if he saw this. "

Manaria-sama looked worried again and again.

"Dear Manaria, do you know Lily and me?"

"Of course. I've been told a lot, and your love story is famous.Isn't that right, Revolutionary Maiden? "

The maiden of the revolution - the word sounds familiar.

"My memory is still a little vague, so can you explain?"

"Of course, I'm a little tired of talking about my enemies."

Manaria stopped a little and then Lily and I talked about my familiarity.

I heard it as if it were a story about someone else.

I was a civilian attending Bauer's Royal College, and he was aware of the differences between rich and poor that existed between nobles and civilians.

While thinking about the redistribution of wealth, I tried to refer to the activities of the Spirit Church, where I met Lily.

Sometimes Lily and I are the same homosexuals, so we immediately get along and act together.

One of the secrets of the royal palace, Yu-sama's gender problem, was resolved to deepen our friendship, and then, under the orders of the late His Majesty Roseil, we embarked on the search for illegitimate aristocracy.

We cooperated secretly from the great aristocrat Dor-François, exposing numerous irregularities and eventually throwing ourselves into the revolution that followed the eruption of the Sassar volcano.

During the revolution, there were occasions when Lily's life was in danger, but it was apparent that they were able to overcome it and finally get together...

"Remember?"

"Eh, yeah...."

That's true.

I also had that memory in me.

But for some reason, I can't feel that memory as my own.

I feel uncomfortable as if someone pushed me.

"Before I see Lily, I need you to be careful.Otherwise, she'll cry again. "

You're worried.

"That's right. She's like my sister."

Manaria smiled mercifully.

Manaria-sama's... sister...

--Onee-sama....!

Something broke through my head.

But when I tried to grab it, it disappeared like a phantom.

I wonder what it is.

Something's... strange.

"Well, if you've forgotten, you've forgotten, and I have a chance, so it's not a bad thing to say..."

"I won't forgive you for that!"

There he is.

It was my beloved Lily who blocked Manaria's attempt to dictate me in her usual manner.

When you look at me, you see tears floating in the tear glands.

"Ray, Ray! I was worried!"

"Hehehe!?"

He shook me up on the bed and held me.

You can be hugged with stupid force without seeing it.

"Lily, gib, gib."

"Ghu, gib? Oh, did you mean please?But... I can't believe I want this from within the high season...But Lily said that Ray-san... "

"Hey, what are you guys trying to start in the middle of the day?"

"Ma, Manaria-sama, please read the air...."

"I stopped because I read the air.If it stays that way, Ray will suffocate. "

"Ah, eh? Wow!? I'm sorry, Ray!"

"Hafuu... I thought I was going to die..."

At last I was able to breathe, and I asked for air to sing.

"Ugh... Lily did it again."

"Isn't that the usual thing?I don't care. "

"Uu....."

"Come here, please."

When I held Lily in my arms, I softly embraced her little body.

"I'm sorry I worried about you.Good morning, Lily. "

"Oh, I'm really worried!I'm glad you woke up.... "

Lily buried her face in my chest and it stuck for a while.

Wow, you'll show me.

"You don't have to see anything else, Mr. Manaria."

"That's fine.I have to tell you a lot about the rest of this. "

"After this?"

"Yes, about the celebration."

"Yes, that's right! Now that Ray is awake, we can finally do it!"

Lily's expression sparkled in Manaria's words.

"Celebrating?"

"It's a celebration to commemorate the crusade of the three great demons.We seem to be heroes, Ray. "

Lily, May, and Alea-chan, too.

Ah.

Speaking of which, yes.

We fought the three great demons, the king of the demons.

The long battle between humans and demons has finally ended.

"Ray and Lily have accomplishments during the revolution, so we can't push them this time around.Not only Bauer's history, but also human history will certainly have a name. "

"I don't care, but I'm glad Lily is appreciated."

"Ray-san...!"

Lily fell down ashamed.

You're so cute.

It's cute... I don't know, this isn't enough.

"Where's May and Area?"

When I asked,

"Fu, they've been asleep a long time, but I woke up about two weeks ago."

"Didn't you bring him?"

"Yo, the kindergarten has been reopened.I was worried about Ray, but I didn't need to worry about her. "

Time flows relentlessly.

Ignore the thoughts of the people who live there.

Living a daily life requires some compromise or abandonment.

"Oh, are you angry...?"

Lily told me that it was no good.

I smiled bitterly.

"Isn't that right?Thank you for protecting your home while you sleep. "

Don't forget, don't forget.

She protected it.

When I hugged Lily again, I dropped my tongue on her forehead.

However,

"Mmm...."

Lily seemed dissatisfied.

Well, what's the matter?

"Well, why the forehead?Nh, please put your lips where you always want to see them.... "

Lily persisted.

Such a lovely place.

I looked at Lily again.

Eyes are drawn to cherry blossom lips.

But...

"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling very well yet, so could you give me a little more rest?"

That was the line that came out of my mouth.

"Ah... I'm sorry. Please rest.Come on, come on, Manaria-sama's coming too! "

"Yes, yes, then, Ray. I'll leave the rest to the hospital staff.I'll let you know when the celebration is scheduled. "

"Please."

Lily pushed her back and Manaria and the others left the room.

The room suddenly became quiet.

He lay down and covered himself with a futon.

"Well... it's over."

After defeating the three great demons, the battle against the demons was over.

The invasive diplomacy of the Empire has also been redirected, and the world will be much more peaceful now.

The celebration is a hassle, but I will only fulfill my promise to go home with Lily, May, and Alea.

--Ray, it's time to make good on your promise.

Someone's voice echoed behind my head.

But I can't remember who it belonged to.

It belongs to Lily, right?

I don't think I'll make any other important promises.

There is no doubt about it.

There is no anxiety.

That was supposed to happen.

And yet...

"I feel like I'm forgetting something very important."

I've never been able to wipe a hole in my chest.
