"Unia and Anni will not be abandoned."

The confusion has disappeared.

Everyone's face is brightened up when you say it outright.

Somehow, everyone felt the same way.

At a time like this, I'm happy about it.

"Rain, that's..."

Yuuki has a steep face.

That's what you want to say, that it's impossible.

Suddenly, I remembered Axe and Cell.

There was something unacceptable about each other, and we were in conflict.....

Will that be the case this time?

Will it collide with Yuki?

I'm new to friends of my age, and I want to avoid that.....

But for me to be me.

I just want to push the path of faith.

"I know how you feel. I definitely don't want to have to abandon such a small child.But... if we don't, we're all wiped out.We're not alone. Those who missed out on the way will not be able to escape from the Western continent, and will be wiped out as well.I'll tell you the hard part, but Raine's trying to take their lives. ”

If we stay like this, it will be that way.

Huh?

I'm learning, too.

It's just selfishness, and I'm not going to risk the lives of everybody or the people who were captured.

"I can't move fast.Because of that, the pursuer gets caught.That's why I'm abandoning Jia and Ani...... that's no good. "

"So... what are you going to do?"

"The answer is simple. As long as your legs are slowed down, you can slow down the enemy's legs... I'll be in charge of the palace."

What's the matter!?

Yuuki was surprised.....

On the other hand, they're not very surprised.

It's been a long time.

You must have somehow anticipated my line.

However, if you allow it, it's a different story.....

Do what you have to do again.

It was like this, and my eyes were turned to me.

"I'll stop the enemy."Meanwhile, I want everyone to take Unia and Anni and keep as much distance as possible.No matter which way you abandon them, you might catch up with them. "

"...... what is Rain going to do?"

"Of course, I'm not going to die. Give me a signal if you make enough distance for everyone to escape.I see... launching magic into the sky or something like that.Then I'll run away and catch up with everyone. "

"Please... don't say that so easily!!"

Yuuki shouted strongly, as if to explode her anger.

Keep poking at us.

"Even Gray couldn't do it!"And yet there is no guarantee that Raine will be okay!?It's impossible! Why do you throw your life away!!! "

Yuki... didn't blow up her anger.

It was exploding grief.

I lost an important companion.....

And you're sad that you're going to lose me again, and you're going to reject the outcome.

He's a very kind man.

If he were to be the next king, this country would be safe.

"I'm sorry, let me worry about you."

"If you want to apologize, I want you to withdraw that stupid plan."

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"How... do you really know about Rain!?"I don't want to do this, but I have to abandon Unia and Anni!There's no other way. And yet.... "

"I know." I know... so I guess this is my own selfishness after all. "

After all, I'm that kind of person.

I'm sorry if I don't do what I want.

And....

I'll do anything to get the future I can imagine.

“To be realistic, I'd rather sacrifice myself than you sacrifice me and Annie, right?”

"That's not true...!"

"There is. There are two small lives in the future, and one ordinary life."If you compare it, the former is right? "

"That's..."

"Well, that's a realistic story."And... I really want to talk about it, but I don't want to talk about it anymore. "

"Rain...?"

"I don't want to survive at the expense of someone."

……

"I told myself that I had no choice but to talk about Gray... but I still don't seem to be convinced."I regret it over and over again.I should have disagreed, I should have stayed... I just regretted it.You could say that choice was a mistake.That's why I don't want to regret it anymore.Choose a path that doesn't abandon you both so you don't make a mistake. ”

"That's why...!"

"I'll do anything for that."Like Gray did, I'm risking my life!I'm prepared to say that because I'm selfish.I won't sacrifice anyone anymore... definitely!! "

……

Yuki loses her words, apparently because she senses my absolute will.

Maybe, from the inside, I'm going to make you reconsider trying to keep me here.....

I can't seem to find a word before I make up my mind.

To reassure him like that, I keep saying more.

"If you add it... I'm not going to die."It's not a lie to reassure Yuuki, it's serious. "

"You're making such an impossible decision..."

"Really? Who decided that?"

"That's..."

"I'll go home alive."Because... I decided not to sacrifice anyone.And naturally, that includes myself. "

"Ah....."

"Besides, I promised Gray."I'm not going to die here, and I'm going to live.And... I'll show you who I am. "

"...... Rain......"

"It's not like me to abandon Uni and Anni here."I broke my promise to Gray.That's definitely not enough.That's what's wasting his time. "

"That's..."

You know that, don't you?

Tania, Iris, Sora, and Luna nodded naturally.

"Rain is used to doing this all the time, so I've got used to it recently.Well, I don't have to worry about that. "

“But I do believe that Rayne wouldn't do anything to make Sora and the others sad.”

"Don't worry about Unia and Anni, and the people who were captured.I will be responsible for delivering you to Cleagrant. "

"In the first place, if we don't believe in you, Rain, then who will?"That's why we place absolute trust in Rain. ”

"Yeah... thank you guys"

The truth is, you must be very worried about me.....

You're trying to put up with it and send me out.

He respects my intentions.

They're really good people.

I want to thank God for meeting me.

"... haa"

Feeling surrendered, Yuki sighed.

The face was sunny somewhere.

"I can't believe Rain was so stubborn."Looks like I still didn't know about Rain. "

From now on, let's just get to know each other.

"I'll let you do that."That's why... I'll stay. "

Eh!?

As expected, this development was unexpected.

I was surprised when my eyes widened, and I stared at Yuki.

"No... wait!" I won't admit it. "

"Rain says selfishly, so I say selfishly.I can't stop it, can I? "

"Alone is enough!" We don't even need two! "

But don't you think the two of you have a better chance of survival?

"That's..."

There is no word to return.

"Are you serious...?"

Of course.

"It's quite dangerous, isn't it? Besides, Yuuki is a prince...."

"That's right, I'm a prince."Originally, you shouldn't jump into danger.If Gray were here, he'd be so angry. "

"Then why...?"

"But if you go ahead here, it will make Gray angry."I mean, maybe you'll be disappointed. "

"Why...?"

"You don't understand that, do you?"Rain is going to change into a sloppy, dull, dull thing. "

Yuki smiles.

A very clear, blue sky-like smile.

"I'm a friend of Rain's."

"Ah....."

"It's only natural to be able to help your friends, right?"If you abandon your friend, Gray will be pissed off.I mean, I can't be the Lord that Gray can be proud of.I want to keep my promise to Gray. "

"...... Yuki......"

"If I can, I don't want to abandon Jia and Anni... if I can, I'll bet on Rain." I'm a friend. "

"...... ah......"

Your tears are about to spill into words that are too happy.

But now is not the time to show your crying face.

right now.....

"Thank you."

I also smiled and shook hands with Yuki.
