6-21 Swirling Emotions 3

When Takumi and the others were dressed in a different room, Iris was helping Shino choose his clothes in the room where he was dressed.

"Thank you. You can go back now."

And when Shino's clothes were decided, and Shino entered a space of trial wear surrounded by mirrors and curtains, Iris ordered Shino's servant, who was helping him change and choose his clothes, to back off.

Iris sighed, sitting in a chair that was nearby and looking up at an unspoilt ceiling, dropping off a servant who had graciously left the room.

(Ha... I don't know...)

Then Shino, dressed in made-up clothes, appeared with the sound of the curtains opening, tilting his neck as he slowly rocked his tail to the left and right to Iris' appearance.

Iris laughed small to delude herself when she noticed Shino appeared.

"Haha...... I've been a little tired lately."

"Really... that's all...?

Shino, blocking Iris' words in an attempt to delude him, was asking for Iris' expression as he shook his eyes worryingly.

And when I took the chair that was nearby and went next to Iris on a small run and sat down with the chair, I rocked my legs prapraprapra and looked up at the ceiling as Iris had just done.

"Shino also... used to... look... because he was often deluded... Iris... Takumi and Rumi... right after I heard you were dating... my expression changed... Glad, but sad... such a complicated face..."

I opened my eyes to Shino's observational eye, which accurately referred to Iris' current state, and was surprised, then smiled and dropped as small as I had given up.

"Heh heh, you've been watching me a lot...... Can you listen to me for a minute, Shino?

"Mmm...... If it's Shino..."

Iris gently stroked Shino's head with a small grin on his mouth before starting to talk.

"Takumi is my first companion... an admirer... and my first love."

…… Surprise...... "

Shino was surprised to see his ears pinned, but Iris continued the conversation.

"The elves... especially the royal ones usually end their lives without getting out of here. At first I meant to, too. But my mother told me about an adventurer who got lost in here... and I wanted to see it. the outside world..."

Iris looked up at the ceiling again, feeling nostalgic as he remembered his old self.

"And I wanted to be an adventurer and look around the world, and I took the liberty of getting out of there. But the outside world is more dangerous than I thought... By the time I managed to get to Astrea, I was bottoming up the food I had brought out."

"Mmm...... Outside the city... there's a lot of danger..."

"Then I first met Takumi and the others when I signed up for Adventurers. So I asked Takumi to protect me from the scary people, be one of them, and have a good time with me... It was a full day full of new discoveries every day, unforgettable to me for the rest of my life when I had never been out of this house and lived cramped without much"

After a sigh of relief, Iris remembered herself at the time and dyed her cheeks a little and started talking again.

"And speaking in me without worrying about my identity, Takumi's very gentle presence became a very big thing. Whenever I broke up with Takumi and the others at night and then went back to my room, or when I was alone, I began to unconsciously think about Takumi. What are you doing now? I wondered what color Takumi liked... her breasts were pounding... and I started thinking about different things."

And Iris looked at the front wall and squealed with a small smile.

"I fell in love. But I found out that Takumi liked it and watched it often. I guess Takumi likes Walnut...... It was at the time of the battle with Bundersnatch that was decisive, wasn't it? I was worried about Mr. Walnut even though I might die, I was likely to die. I went over my fears to try a bunder snatch to protect her. I was jealous... and honestly I regretted it a little"

Shino tilted his neck at Iris, who seemed a little happy to say so.

"But I admired Takumi like that. Then I asked Mr. Walnut if he liked Takumi, but he seemed to have never had anything to do with 'love', love. Then a while later...... the rumors in my ear came into my ear. He said the inside of the elf was attacked by humans... And worried about it, I made up my mind to go back inside."

"This is the place for humans..."

Iris continued to talk to Shino as he lay his eyes down sadly.

"Shino is sweet. So there was a big incident the day I told Takumi and the others that I was going back inside."

"Astrea's defense battle......?

"Yep... I took part in the defensive battle with all my might to repay Astrea for letting me act as an adventurer in that battle. And...... I seem to have shielded Takumi from the attack of a monster and am dying. I would not be here right now without a magic wand to return the time of the user at the same time as the life of the user, who is a family heirloom, is exhausted. But I don't regret it. I think I finally understand what Takumi said before."

"The words Takumi said...?

"It means I'm more scared that someone I like dies than I am. And the day has come when Astrea's defense battle is over and Takumi and the others are leaving for Yamato. So again influenced by Takumi's words to avoid regret, at the end...... I shared my thoughts with Takumi at my end as an adventurer. Now I'm going to dedicate my life to the inside..."

Iris leaned down and shook himself small.

"I'm glad to hear Takumi and Walnut finally got their feelings right... they should want to celebrate... I was jealous... and I got jealous. Looks like Takumi's gone far... It's getting hard...... Huh!? Shino......?

Shino then softly embraced Iris' body, squeezing him out, and began to stroke his head.

"Mmm...... Iris...... that was hard...... When I do this... I get better... Takumi... said..."

That was the same as the last time Takumi tried to revitalize Iris when Iris broke up with Takumi and the others.

"Thank you... thank you... Shino..."

Then for a while there was the cry of one girl in the room.
