Ariane-Olgren.

I was given life as the eldest daughter of the Olgren family. eldest daughter of the three great nobles. It was immediately understandable that it was special.

Still, he said he was who he was.

I always thought that this self wouldn't change...... yes, I thought so.

"Amelia! Let's play together!

"Fine... I won't play anymore..."

Amelia took advantage of one time and left me. I've been with you since I got my mind on it, and I've always thought you were my friend, but I'm separated.

When Potsung and I stood up alone, an emotion sprouted. But I began to pretend not to see it, to hide it, and to go on from it.

At first, he wants to be Amelia's goal. If you can't reach your voice directly, I started polishing myself with that motive, hoping I could show you an exemplary figure.

But I was alone in the end.

The eldest daughter of the three great aristocracies, and the children around them look at me with a venerable eye.

"The boulder is Dear Ariane!

"The oldest daughter of the Olgren family is a boulder!

"Dear Ariane! Excellent!"

Every day I keep responding to it. I can see Amelia wearing out. This is really unbearable... and that's what I'm going to think again.

But without worrying about that, I kept facing myself.

Work hard on your own.

I have lived my daily life to behave as the oldest daughter of the Olgren family deserves.

I'm not dissatisfied with the Olgren family.

Father and mother. Your brother is a wonderful people, too. Besides, my sister Tiana is so cute after a while. It doesn't hurt enough to put it in your eyes.

But how can it feel like there's so many holes in your heart?

I didn't want to notice that emotion, so I kept trying. Because when you're working hard on something, you can forget it.

Because she is a courtier of the three great nobles and can forget at all the pressure of answering the expectations around her.

I really noticed.

Ariane-Olgren said he was a really hard worker. That's what they say, but I just don't want to face reality.

Run away, run away, tell me I'm the one who ran away.

But with Amelia... I'll be fine. I'm sure the two of us can support each other and live together. Now I'm apart, but someday Amelia will ask for me.

I was trying so hard to support her like that.

Yes... I was hoping.

Amelia has changed since she met him.

"Heh heh... Ariane's grown up too..."

"Hey, hey! What are you doing?

Stay.

My training with Ray is over, and I'm staying in Amelia's room. It's been a long time since we've spent together, so we're taking a bath together... and Amelia relentlessly touches her body with pets.

"Oh! I knew you were big and soft......! Hehe..."

"Please wait!

The guide is Hundred Wars Smelting. I'd like to ask when you got that skill, but she's still changed.

Does it feel so bright and honest with you?

That and this must be thanks to Ray.

After we get out of the bath, the two of us go into bed. It's a little narrow, but I felt just about this distance. Because I want to be near Amelia now.

"Hey. Amelia"

"Hmm?"

"Where were you attracted to Ray?

"Uh-huh!!?

I'm a little surprised because I raise my weird voice, but I was aware. Amelia says she's in love with Ray-White.

"Um... is that easy to understand?

"Well, at least, I noticed. But Ray's missing somewhere, so I don't think he's paying attention."

"Right... haha"

It leaks a dry laugh, but Amelia told me passionately about Ray. Because of him, he said he could change. Together, we're going to find a reason to live.

Yes... I'm happy to talk.

Oh. What is this sharp pain in the chest?

"So. I'm talking about Ray..."

The face was Amelia's expression, which I had never seen before. I'm not the one who's pulling it out.

I was going to be Amelia's supporter one day, but that role wasn't mine.

But what makes me think, assuming I became that role instead of Ray, could I have changed Amelia like this...

No. Probably not for me.

The same pain, just because you can share the same emotions, doesn't necessarily mean it's salvation.

And Ray can do it. He has enough style to make you think so.

"Hey. Amelia"

"Hmm?"

"Good for you."

"Yes... you are. But..."

That said, he will squeeze my hand with his little hand.

"It's not just Ray. Because you're all here. Ariane was there, so I think I'm changing a little bit."

……

"So thank you. Stay by my side."

"It's already... silly"

Turn your back towards Amelia.

I'm sure, because I thought if I turned around now, I'd cry.

Complex emotions swirl around your chest.

But I'm probably just jealous of Amelia.

I made a lot of friends around me, and I made people I liked more than anything. Only then did Amelia become radiant.

I envied her like that. I admired it. It became the object of vision.

What I realize is that I have ever assumed Amelia was the same. But that didn't happen. People are different. There is no such thing as the same existence.

Because the same situation, the destination is so different.

"Sooo... sooo... sooo..."

I can hear you sleeping. She seemed tired of talking, and Amelia took a nap when she noticed.

On the other hand, I should be very tired... strangely blinded.

It's about Ray that I remember.

What makes him different?

Indeed, at the point of [the Ice Sword Mage], there is no mistake in being different from the others. But I never think that's all.

He has something more.

Otherwise I can't explain it. So I came to Ray. Because I also wanted to change, like Amelia did.

Now it's my turn to go after him.

"Amelia......"

Gently, touch the sleeping Amelia's forehead. It doesn't look like I'm going to wake up at all, I'm sleeping quietly in my sleep.

Sleeping together this way has also been since childhood.

I always thought we were with each other. I always thought we were going the same way.

I'm sure Amelia is not moving ahead of me.

We started on a completely different path.

What about me? Where should I go next? Can I find my way, not beyond Amelia?

"I..."

I squeal bossly.

Where the hell are you going to get to?

Can we find it in this tournament?

I get annoyed by that anxiety.

I am a weak man. They say you have a strong mental ability and a noble presence, but I don't think so...

I'm just acting like that.

But believe me, it will also be my strength. I...

After a while, it falls into a slight sleep just like Amelia did.

If I may, I may go my own way.
