"Akira, have you been sleeping lately?

The next day, Amelia seemed worried that I had woken up one step ahead of everyone else.

I distract myself from Amelia sipping a drink like coffee.

Truth be told, I haven't been able to sleep lately.

I already know why.

It was caused by what Crowe told me that day and what I was asked to do.

And I was even more troubled because of Mr. Ziehl's words last night.

"I haven't been able to sleep. but it won't interfere with the fight. I've slept deeply with nothing but fainting since I've been in this world, to the point where I can count with one hand."

Cover half of your face with one hand and say.

Probably looks pretty bad.

We have to do something before everyone wakes up.

With that in mind, Amelia peeked into my face.

Get one hand off me covering my face and pinch my face with both hands.

"It's Akira's bad habit to be patient and hold it alone. Can't you trust me that much?

"Yes, no, that's not..."

Stared from the front by scarlet eyes, he can't even get out of sight because of his hands that pinch his face.

For the first time, I thought Amelia's eyes were scary.

"I see what Akira can't say is to protect us or to protect someone. … then I will take hard measures to protect Akira"

"Oh, hey!

Shortly after stopping, Amelia boosted her magic.

A pale blue light wraps my body.

"I'm sorry, Akira." Magic Generation "......" Forced Sleep "!!

"Ame...... li, a..."

The last time I saw Amelia was on the verge of losing consciousness.

And despair.

I wondered if Amelia had pushed me enough to make anyone she liked look like this.

~ Amelia Rose Quartz gaze ~

Hang a blanket on Akira, who has forcibly lost consciousness, to watch her innocent sleeping face.

I gently stroked the bear under my eyes.

It is darker than yesterday.

"A very violent princess."

When I raised my face to a quiet voice, a sleeping face crow on the couch next to me was looking at Niyanya and this one.

I stare at that face.

"What did you blow into Akira?"

Crowe turned away from my gaze and stretched out her body like a cat.

I stand staring to shelter Akira from the Crow.

"Don't wrinkle between your eyebrows like that. We're not going back. … and I just asked for the right reward"

I was happy with the word "reward".

By the back of the brain is Crowe's hindsight that helped us in our predicament in the labyrinth.

"Is that why you helped us in the Brute Labyrinth?... Answer me."

Gaze further at the clow that deflects your gaze.

Crowe glanced at him just a little.

"No, I don't know. It was simply out of favor that I helped. … it was only later that I found value in the act"

I opened my eyes to that weakened face.

I'm not as involved with this guy as Akira, and I don't understand him.

I just felt understandable about the vengeance that couldn't save my sister, scolding Crowe for trying to throw away his vengeance with time, but I don't even know if that was right.

The impression of the first meeting wasn't supposed to be very good, but I was surprised at a later date to have a sympathetic self.

The behavioral principles of me and this person are probably very similar.

"I used to admire you."

I tried to raise my voice to a shift in topics that seemed out of the question, but I stop with my mouth open to the words.

Crowe laughed a little when he saw my face like that.

"The princess who saved the plight of the Elves. Users of" resuscitation magic, "" gravitational magic, "which is also likely to appear in the hero Tan. To me you were the one to aspire to.... well, I've been seeing you since I met you and I've been thinking a little bit about you."

"... I don't like people looking at me like that"

Because honoring me also means denigrating that hell-bent Kirika.

Crowe laughs bitterly at me like that.

"Right. That's who you are.... Did you hear I made Leah's wand?

I shake my head to the side.

Probably told Akira that.

We haven't even had time to talk slowly with Akira lately, so we're making a difference in each other's information.

"Thanks to that wand I was able to perceive your plight. Leah's name, don't you think he looks a lot like you?

"... you took it from me?

"That's right. I named him after you."

I opened my eyes to unexpected connections.

And narrow your eyes.

"What's that?

Leah - What does it have to do with the First Princess of Urk?

Crowe looks outside with the morning sun starting to rise behind his head.

"I don't know. I just want to try a human being named Akira Oda you admitted. There is no falsehood in the words I said to this guy, but I wanted to see if he deserved to be lined up next to you. When I named Leah, I never thought someone would be standing next to you. Of course I still think so."

To the words, I felt a little blood on my head.

Because Akira says you shouldn't stand next to me without saying it.

"... how much burden your selfish thoughts place on Akira!

Crow movement stops in my words.

My expression didn't look good because of the rising morning sun, but I felt weak somewhere.

"I didn't think I'd bother this far either. Apparently this guy is sincerely in love with you, but not enough to dump a human being"

Love is sometimes blind.

I also know that much because I live many times more than Akira for once.

If Akira is going blind because of me, I should pull myself back.

I smiled a little.

"The man I expected."

Crowe shrugs his shoulders as he casts his gaze at the morning sun.

"Sounds like it. But he seems so grateful to me that he worries me properly. This man will probably dump the humans if there's anything left for you."

Be careful.

After saying so and seeing Akira properly, Crowe walked out of the room.

After all, I couldn't hear what you said to Akira.

Because the current language was more shocking than that.

"... Akira, do you abandon humans for me?

Knowing there was no answer to the query, I couldn't help but ask.
