"I need to talk to you."
Tiana said, so we went up the ladder [Ladder] to the poolside.
Walking with her wet feet, she sits on a bench nearby, and the woman puts her swimsuit butt on the side of it.
……
After a moment of silence, Tiana took off her swimming cap and began to chat, sliding her wet blonde hair over her rich shoulders.
"I see, that's what happened with Cross..."
Tiana told me once and for all about the relationship between Cross and Tiana since I was fired from the party, and that Tiana confessed her honest feelings today.
I see, that's what I was so upset about earlier.
"That's stupid."
"Huh...?"
"It's about you, so I was worried about what to do if I got along with Cross, and it was hard to answer for a long time..."
I'll light a cigarette and keep going.
"Cross is not such a disgusting guy."
"... yes, that's right, that's right."
Tiana answered so strongly.
The hands are folded into a triangle over the thighs, and the three-dimensionality of the female body is emphasized by the good posture of the spine and the stitching of the swimsuit.
"But for me, cross is an important companion."That's why I didn't want you to get hurt... but my chest hurts when I think that it took me a long time to get even more hurt. "
“But I was able to answer honestly.There's no such thing as a bad feeling inside the cross. "
I said it for the honor of Cross rather than to cheer up Tiana.
"Of course, I'm depressed."He doesn't have the "bad heart" that normal people have when things don't go as expected. "
"... what do you mean?"
"Hmm. Normally, when people get depressed, they lose sight of themselves with jealousy and crappy vengeance."That's why when an ordinary person is depressed, they have to check their minds and fight their own jealousy and crap vengeance... well, sometimes they fall into self-deception and lie to themselves.But the cloths are everywhere. It's not normal. "
I'll spit out a cigarette smoke before I go on.
"He was in the class of the magic college."But even then, it seemed like he was jealous of somebody or fooled around to pick up the mount afterwards.You don't have such a "bad mind" in the first place.That's why Cross is such a geek, even if he's not a hero.I'll never be jealous or vengeful. [Torah] That means I can be honest with myself naturally. "
Tiana was silent when she heard my cross-examination, which was a bit long.
But a few seconds after I'm done talking,
"I see..."
I can close my eyes by saying that.
"I... think she's more human."
What?
"I've been telling you this for a long time."I want to be equal to Ayga."It may not be called jealousy, but I'm sure you've always been aware of your eyes far away.Even if you're in the middle of a Demon King quest. "
Oh, my God.
That's quite the opposite, isn't it?
Since then, I've been aiming for Zaharbelt to become an adventurer on a par with Cross.
"You may not understand."
Tiana continued with a sigh.
“Even if you can't come to the quest and get fired, we won't forget the days you led and raised the party.That's why I want you to admit it, even if it's far away...It's not just me, it's Emma, it's Delhi, it's Mollier, of course, but especially Cross's feelings for you are immeasurable. ”
I don't know what to say when I'm told that.
You're talking too much.
That's why I put out the cigarette fire.
"But I was able to say what I wanted to say."Cross and you. "
I see.
Tiana replied, grabbing my arm slightly with the hand that was on her thigh until then.
"I love you, Aiga."
"Tiana..."
"Thank you for coming to Zaharbelt.But... a little jealousy [ya]. You may have wanted to cross Zaharbelt, but I just wanted to see you.even though it was all that.... "
Seeing Tiana chewing her lips like that, I thought about the ring I once bought for her.
I bought an engagement ring to give to Tiana when I was able to follow the adventure of the Brave Party again.....
In the end, the party was fired, but I thought I'd be entitled to give it to the adventurer if he became equal to Cross.
It may not be even yet, but now that I'm in Zaharbelt, I have that much confidence.
Tiana, I'll see you soon.
That said, I gently touched the woman's cheek.
"I have something I want to give you."
You want to give it to me?
Tiana curled her eyes and bowed her neck.
I don't have it in my swimsuit now, but I always have the ring in my "Mochimo".
I'll take it with me next time I see you.
Could it be a souvenir of the territory?
"Fufu, it's kind of like that."
I laughed and stood on the bench, but....
From a later point of view, what I decided to give you might have to be given right away that day.
