I Reincarnated as a Losing Heroine, the Hero’s Childhood Friend Who Lost to the Main Heroine, so I Switched Jobs to Alchemist

Diona pulled my hand in an empty room that no one had used and was no longer in storage.

It was Diona as she walked into the room, leaning her ear against the door and exploring the signs outside, but she exhaled relieved to find out there was no one beyond the door, and then sat down on the spot. Watching that series of motions, I sit in the same way as I still have my wrist grabbed.

"Mr. Diona, you know..."

"Also, sorry!

Diona let go of my wrist all the time she was grabbing, then lowered her head.

His face was bright blue when he was raised for a moment to peek at this one.

"Um, it's bright blue, are you okay?

"Sorry to bother you. It's okay."

Firmly aligned fingertips are trembling. Her hands, grabbing my wrist until earlier, were cold as ice.

Diona was running away from someone calling and looking for her name. That would be obvious. What the hell threatened her in a relatively safe place called Royal Castle?

It was clear that the voices of the men who called Diona did not belong to Mr. Lenhardt, Mr. Sieg or Mr. Leon. It sounded more like an old crouched man.

I don't know if it's a problem with me sticking my neck in it. But I couldn't even pretend not to look at it, more than I saw Diona with such a cornered expression.

"If it's a question you can't answer, you can ignore it. Is someone after you?

"No, I wasn't being chased..."

I'll just take one more step into the mouthcage Diona.

"But there's the voice of a man calling Mr. Diona's name -..."

I thought I'd pull it off if this still seemed deluded.

"It's the people of Lustu."

Diona replied with a wrinkle between her brows and a glimpse at the ground.

After a moment of silence, Diona smiles at me - no, I smiled bitterly.

"When I heard that the brave man and we were in contact, I thought I was here to see how things were going."

- Yeah, somehow, but I guessed. The heavy towns of the people of Datou Lustu have put pressure on the Dionas, something like that.

Diona probably bears the expectations of the people of Lustu all by herself. To recall what Mr. Sieg had previously said, Diona seemed to jump through and have strong power among the people of Lustu today. Such a girl should have been carried on a mission too heavy for that luxurious back from an early age.

I remember her slightly pale when I met Lukersch. Being a player, "I” found only hope for the future in the heroine encounter - but for Diona today, maybe Lukersch is like the embodiment of a heavily inescapable mission.

"I was questioned about this... it was a hassle, so I ran away"

Huh, and with an attitudeful grin, Diona seemed to try to delude herself, but that bloody blue face doesn't delude herself at all.

Imagine Diona's mood choosing the word "questioned," chest aches. Even though Diona may be a chosen being, but she's still a girl who hasn't grown up either.

Worried about what to say - before that, I came to warm up her cold out body. Get up and get close to the door trying to leave the room.

"Healing pills to warm your body, I'll bring them."

"Ah......!

Diona's voice rose from behind like a hurry. I look back and make him smile to reassure me.

"It's okay, I won't tell anyone that Mr. Diona is here"

With that said, I had a chest ache for Diona with an obviously relieved look on her face.

Head to the mixing room early to avoid leaving her alone as much as possible. Some healing pills are kept in the mixing room.

When I came to the front of the conditioning room, I was going to open the door without making as much noise as possible so that the Lukers wouldn't notice that I was back.

"That, Laura?

I noticed a little noise. I found it in childhood tame. I quickly take the desired restorative medicine and hide it behind my back and rush to the door at a glance to exit before it is pursued. And I smiled at the three of them staring at this one wonderfully.

"Oh, haha, I forgot something... Never mind. Talk to me!

I was feeling a surprise gaze on my back, but I couldn't think of any more words of deception, so I leave as I go. I'm a lousy liar.

Go down the hall early enough and arrive in front of the earlier room. I named him "It's Laura" to avoid giving him extra anxiety, then I knocked and opened the door.

Diona was sitting on a wooden chair that had been placed unwrought inside the room. Somewhere near her, whose shoulders seem narrow and suddenly subside, I also bring the chair that was placed there to sit.

"Go ahead, Mr. Diona"

"Thank you," Diona said politely bowing her head if she handed her recovery pills, then drank them all at once.

Diona takes a sigh of relief after a drink. I wonder if it will give me my gaze to see what's going on here.

"I'm sorry I showed you my pity"

"No, no. Can I rest in the emergency room?

Diona shook her head small to my inquiry.

"It's okay. Really.... sorry"

I don't know what the best answer would be to an apology from Diona, I can only shake my head, and then the silence falls.

In silence, the sound of a clock needle echoes. Making regular noises with Kachi, Kachi, it seemed like it was getting louder and louder - it was Diona's modest sigh that blocked that sound.

Look at her next door. Diona had a similar bitter smile earlier.

"Lady Laura, I'm all right now. Thanks to the restorative medication I received, my body was completely warmed up. Thank you."

It is an immediate recovery drug that I gave you, but it is too early to realize how effective it is on boulders. It was obvious that Diona was behaving in a manner that annoyed me.

"Leanhardt will be here soon. I'm sorry I got involved."

But when they say that with a smile, they also hesitate to stick their necks in any more. I pulled my jaw a long time and tried to snort. - At that time, I notice that Diona's hand with the container of restorative medicine is still trembling.

A cornered look, and an icy, cold fingertip that grabbed my wrist, unforgettable.

I shouldn't leave her alone, that's what my less dependable account tells me.

"... If it's not inconvenient, can I stay with you until Mr. Leanhardt arrives?

"Huh? Yes"

She looked relieved - I hope so, maybe it just seemed so - but I brought the chair I was sitting on closer to her to get her to sit down.

I don't ask you anything extra. It's just that until then, when Mr. Leanhardt was coming, if I could distract Diona at all - that was the heart of it.

"Mr. Diona is a sweet thing, do you like it?

Because there is no abundance of raw hatred and topics, I throw questions that I don't even clap at because I want to start a chat. The suggestion Diona opened her amber eyes wide, but a few seconds later, she nodded slowly, albeit still with that expression.

"Sh, I like it"

"Good! Do you have anything in particular you like?

I've never made these crap chats Diona before. But it's between girls about the same year, so I think we have some things in common -

Diona answered my question for a few moments.

"... I like cookies"

"Cookies, they're delicious, aren't they? Was there a shop in the city?

Asked remembering the taste of the cookies my mother had made for me, Diona shook her head quietly.

"No, there were no shops in the city selling such luxury goods"

- I can't believe cookies are luxury goods. It's a value that wasn't even in Emme's village behind the woods. Maybe the people of Lustu live more qualitative lives than you can imagine.

While slightly regretting the failure to select a topic, it is strange to start talking now, so I will try to keep talking about it this way.

"So you made it yourself?

"Yes. My brother made it sneaky at first. And since then, we've been making it together."

Diona's brother - that would be Mr. Sieg and Mr. Leon. Imagine the three of us lining up in the kitchen, hehe, and a grin spills.

"Mr. Sieg and Mr. Leon, you're close today."

Diona just nodded vaguely at my words and had no further reaction.

I rush to open my mouth to the silence that is about to fall again.

"I recently had a new confectionery shop in Wangdu. Would you like to come with me next time? There's sweet cream in the fluffy dough... it's delicious."

Diona opened her amber eyes wide to my invitation - and then, fluttered, smiled. Its adult beautiful smile overlaps with the heroine smile of "Last Brave".

Naturally because he's the same person, but when Diona, who lives as a living person in this way, overlaps with the heroine who was the created character in the game, it becomes more straightforward. They seemed to remind me once again that I was now living in the world of games I had played in my previous life.

"Please, let me come with you"

To Diona's answer, I smiled again, too.

- Honestly, I don't know when “next time" will be. But no matter when, I thought one strong enough to keep this promise.

Diona will be tormented by the surrounding environment in the future. Whether that's the mission (at best) imposed on the heroine of this world, suffering and smiling in front of her is not the character of the game. It's one person with blood on it.

So you could have a routine of enjoying sweet things. Such routine would be necessary to her.

Diona couldn't help but hang up when she said the cookies were a luxury.
