Hearing Harold's past and secrets, Reefa was back in her room with her knees. Too heavy, the fate Harold carries. The stories I hear from Justus are repeated over and over in my head.

Extremely is the last word he said.

"As it is now, Harold's life expectancy will be a few years left, and it will be about whether he can live until he exceeds twenty. If we continue to use our powers, that time will be shorter '

Harold is eighteen. Within the next two years, if you do poorly, he dies sooner.

An unacceptable reality hits Reefa. I can't even sum up my own thoughts on what to do.

"... are you all right?

"El...... what am I supposed to do? How did you get to Harold..."

"Do you regret what you heard?

"... I don't know."

"Sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?

"Because I knew. that Harold was fighting while cutting his life."

"No! Then why didn't you stop?

"You think I'm the kind of person who stops?

"That's... yes, but!

Elle knew. I know, and how can I naturally deal with Harold that far? How can you laugh?

Even for Harold, yes. Reefa couldn't understand why we would fight that far. How can you wave your sword so cold when you can't possibly be afraid to die?

My head hangs on and I can't even put words together.

"What is it now... we don't know what it means..."

"Right. Maybe that's the right emotion."

Elle smiles sadly.

Nor could the kindness now Reefa receive.

"Hey, Reefa."

"... what?

"If you're thinking of stopping Harold, you should stop."

"But then..."

I can't do anything for Harold. Elle reinforces her tone to Reefa, who thought so.

It's not like Elle, so even though I don't like how important that is, it passed on.

"This is the path Harold was prepared to take. It's not a matter of easy access for people who don't know what's going on."

"So Elle tells you to shut up and drop Harold off dead? I can't do that..."

"If so, Reefa might as well not see Harold anymore"

"Why would you say that!?

Reefa absurds her voice.

But kicking and staring does not frighten Elle. Talk calmly and only about the facts.

"You said I knew Harold's secret, didn't you? I didn't tell anyone, not even Reefa, because Harold wants it. He has his purpose, and that's what he needs."

"What is the purpose of…"

"You didn't tell me that much. But I guess from him, it's more important than his own life."

Elle whines that every thing is a species with a life.

I wonder why Harold can get that far. How can you accept the fate of death?

I have no idea what the hell is so important to Reefa.

"Come on, let's get some sleep today. If you calm down, you might be able to sort your mind out a little more."

"... yeah"

Enter your own bed as Elle urges you to. The lights in the room were turned off and wrapped in complete darkness.

But there is no sign of a wave of emotions twitching in my mind and falling asleep.

Reefa circles her body trying to protect her mind, which is about to be crushed. And the innocent girl uttered a potpourri and a wish, as she prayed to God.

"Don't die, Harold..."

"Just die"

Best of all, Harold told Itsuki that. Itsuki, a good young man like the one painted in the picture, is not accustomed to such ramblings and is not difficult to recieve.

"I'm relieved you seem fine. Want something to drink?

I don't want it.

The place is a coffee shop in Cabran. It was the time I wanted to get into dinner, but while eating something, I didn't think I could calm down and listen, so I brought Itsuki here, which I appropriately noticed.

Itsuki sitting face to face is always a refreshing grin. I even feel like I'm being incited the other way around.

"Let's just have it explained from scratch"

"Quite simply, I'm getting married."

"Ho."

Harold hits the gavel just because he's indifferent.

I'm still going to celebrate this for once.

But Itsuki is also emotional to think that she is finally getting married. Talk about the specs again and you're a perfect superman with a good face, good personality, good manners, and besides standing sword arms. Rather, it is something that has always been free.

So if you're going to name a flaw, does that mean it's Ciscon?

Speaking of which, I recall Harold talking about Itsuki and his marriage to each other a little before he joined the Knights.

I've been asking when Itsuki would marry Erica too persistently. I can't say that I intend to break it in the future, but I have clouded my tea when I think about it if you marry me by putting it out of my mouth.

Then it was Itsuki who would happily shoulder to shoulder that we were brothers not far away, but it was a cold sweat memory for Harold that Yuno, who was occasionally there to listen to the conversation, was smiling and releasing pressure. That guy is quite beautiful, too, but I wonder if he doesn't have someone for you.

"The man who will be my wife is the daughter of the Alliance master of this city. We were supposed to celebrate our marriage and hold a celebration before we got married into the house."

"So?"

"It's not like the whole family is out because it's not a stubborn and stubborn thing. But I was wondering if you wouldn't bring Erica, my sister-in-law."

"Can I go home?

"It seems that the problem is not just in the body, but in large part, the sons of other aristocrats and merchants are to be present"

Itsuki keeps talking as if he didn't hear Harold's words or something. Perfectly ignored.

It would be about Itsuki to be able to take this attitude towards Harold against them.

"So let you be the insect repellent that will drive the beasts back to my sister."

"Make sure they're beasts or bugs"

"It's a bug-like beast."

Itsuki spits even more poison without a coward. You might want to withdraw your assessment of being a good young man.

Or it wasn't there that mattered.

"Why should I go out with such trouble?"

"Because you would be Erica's fiancée. I don't think so."

"What's going on in your head? Five years ago, you forgot I told you to dissolve Erica's engagement."

"I remember. And I don't even remember accepting it."

"That's why..."

"My father said, 'I thought this day would come soon. I guess this was inevitable,' I'm only supposed to be responding, though?

Sure it is.

But there's no way that that girl's thought task is going to get Erica to marry her dog-monkey buddy. If I could break up my engagement, I would. I thought that was why he replied, "It was inevitable that the engagement was broken." No, it was supposed to be.

If that word didn't mean "breaking is inevitable" but "inevitable that the day will come when they will sign up for breaking up," then there will be no clear reference to the success or failure of the engagement.

While Harold was stunned, Itsuki put his mouth on the coffee he was ordering.

Itsuki, who took a breath and placed the cup on the saucer, turns again. If not for Harold's mistake, the temples had blue muscles floating around them.

"By and large, you're too selfish. I decide everything by myself and move alone. I wonder, before I know it, something terrible is going on and I'm dying. Try to feel on the worried side. Even after deducting the emotional theory, I threw a round at my father the operation of the farming method I introduced in your proposal, and now he's caught up to me and driven me out to the scene. Well, I appreciate that and I know a hundred things are wrong with complaining, but there will be a few more ways to do it. Let me tell you something, it's a good opportunity. You don't have to listen to a selfish kid like you!

Anyway, I know you've thought about not bothering Smeragi's house with the declaration of divestiture, but unfortunately, thanks to you, I'm already holding it back. There's no way I'm going to swallow every one of your bad reviews. You think that's a selfish thing to say? It's each other, it's superior. I decided to let myself do the same as you did. [M] I was just about to be entrusted with a few projects involving my parents on the occasion of my marriage. Some of them also determine Erica's engagement. Fortunately, the letter didn't say the person responsible had to be my father, so it doesn't matter, does it?

So let me say it again. The next head of the Smeragi family, Itsuki Smeragi, will never allow you and Erica Smeragi to break their engagement!

Harold, the coffee shop clerk, is distracted by the fact that no one else is left. If you suddenly think you've been preached for a long time in public, what did you ultimately declare? Strong to stand and hold the fist of your right hand, it's like an election speech.

I know you're taking care not to find out from not giving Harold's name so far, but even if you're giving him Smeraggi's name, it's like you're giving him a hint. And above all, I want you to be more concerned with other parts of it. Situations that attract all the attention in the store have not been created.

"I'm more thankful than you have. But apart from that and this. What do you think, so self-absorbed?

"Come... child or you?"

Itsuki wins and shows off her throat and face. What? That's childish enough to shred my indignation.

Hard to say intelligent at all. I even feel worried through my anger that it's okay to get married or something with such an unfortunate head finish.

"Well, to be honest, I don't know about the current one either, because I can't do it on an equal footing unless I'm this thick and shameless to go out with you. It's not my hobby to just be swayed around."

"Ha, after all, an emotional theory based on your lose-loathing personality? I feel sorry for Erica for pushing my brother like you into an engagement."

"Is that it? Did you just call me by name about Erica? Hey, you called me, didn't you? Well, have you made progress without your brother knowing?"

(Ugh...! I'm already working with your father!

I eat the same part just for my parents and kids. However, the reaction was different.

I had noticed more than thin, but Itsuki's incitement skills are quite high. Besides, it doesn't activate in a fully automatic omnidirectional direction, like Harold, but seems user-friendly for the amount of stirring it up for the target. Well, it's normal to assume that it's voluntary.

"And it wasn't if I was joking. For now, you know what I'm trying to say, and I'll take care of Erica's bug repellent."

"That's right."

"Yes this. The power of attorney the Doctor gave me."

Itsuki takes a piece of paper out of her nostalgia with disturbing words. It was written that if you look through in despair, you will delegate to Itsuki the power of compulsory order to Harold that Yustus would otherwise have until the specified date. Some of them had been stabbed with nails saying they had no veto ahead of time, and Harold didn't have an escape from the start.

It is a so-called state of stuffing.

"I mean,"

"Eli...... what does he say?

"I wish I could honestly call my name...... Erica doesn't know you're coming. 'Cause I'm getting out that I'm still seeing my friends."

"What?

"Trying to surprise me."

You'd be surprised. With Harold in the congratulatory seat, it could be enough for a surprise less opening binta to burst.

I also want to resent Itsuki for pushing trouble, but I also deserve it if I think of him as a return of interest. I find my mouth abominable, but there was no way it would stop me from changing my tone in those places.

"For one thing, I'm going to have you stay overnight at a hotel nearby where I have a reservation today. I'll pick you up before noon tomorrow, and then we'll meet Erica and the other side."

"Wait. What is Erica going to introduce me to your fiancée anyway?

"That's naturally my fiancée, though?

"Stop it. It's visible that it won't be a lot of things"

Harold Stokes maliciously. Assuming Harold marries Erica, he'll be inside for the other party. As far as the other side is concerned, you will definitely do your utmost to avoid it.

Hopefully you'll persuade me to reconsider Harold and Erica's marriage against Itsuki, but this isn't a heartbreaking noise for Itsuki's marriage to be a better grandfather.

"Hmm, but it can also be a source of disturbance for just a guard to bulk and trump a man who comes by... yes!

All I'm saying is that I came up with a name, and Itsuki pounds, and slaps his hand. And digging up Harold's black history... no, he made a suggestion to repaint.

"You are Erica's fiancée, Lord... Lord Struce!
