- He wants to make sure this doesn't happen again. Because you're an animal, because you're human, and you don't have anything to do with it, because your loved ones don't fit in so well.

- That's what I wanted to make a place where everyone could live without humans attacking me or something like that...

Repeat what Gaius said in your head.

I wondered how nice it would be to understand what Gaius wanted to aim for. That's really what it would be like, how happy it would be if everyone could laugh and make a place where everyone could live.

Because you're an animal man, because you're a human being, if only your loved ones could create a laughable place, without that kind of relationship.

I was talking about Mr. Athos, and Mr. Athos died that way. That's all I could think of was wanting to protect it. He wants to be strong enough to protect us all, and he wants to help us not lose it again. That's all I could think about.

But Gaius isn't. I know Gaius feels the same way about wanting to protect everyone, but not only that, but I'm thinking ahead. Gaius, wow, I thought so.

"... I'm confident you're talking a lot, and a stupid dream story, I guess."

"That's not true!

"Lernda......?

Gaius looks surprised because I got up screaming unexpectedly. I stand in front of Gaius. And I said.

"I... wow, wow... I think it's nice!

I really thought it was a nice idea. If you really gave me a place like that. He said how lovely and wonderful.

If I had a place like Mr. Athos where no one would do terrible things because he's an animal. What a good thing it would be to protect everyone and make a place to live with laughter.

It could be difficult indeed. No, it would definitely be difficult. Humans are stronger than beasts. That's why Mr. Athos had to die that way. Humans do that because they have a terrible idea what to do to the Beast Man.

That's why I don't even know how hard I have to work to make it happen. But ——— I am.

"Me too..."

"Lernda?"

"Me too! I want to make a place like that."

I want to make it, too. I had a voice when I wondered how nice it was. If I wanted to make a place like that, I would... I'd have a louder voice.

"Everybody, laugh! And......, happily, a place to let it go! Let's make it!!

Gaius laughed when I said that out of the blue.

"Ha ha."

"Gaius?"

"... Lernda, don't you think you can do it or something?

"Yeah, 'cause. I want to make it, right? I want to make it, too."

"Yeah...... right"

To my words, Gaius laughs as usual, and gets up.

And stand directly in front of me.

"Hey, Lernda, get your hands on me"

"Yeah?"

I don't know why they say that, but I got my right hand out. Then they tell me to hold my fist. Without knowing, I hold my fist. Gaius puts a clenched fist in my hand.

"I asked my father to do this when he made an oath with an equal opponent among the Beasts."

"Swearing...?

"Yes, I heard you want to make it happen, when you swear something important."

That's how Gaius laughed. And Gaius continued.

"Lernda, I..."

"Yeah."

"I want to make a place like I just said. No... I'll make it"

"Yeah! I'll, I'll make it, I'll do it with you"

"... to do so, become stronger"

"Yeah...... I'll be strong, too, to protect you."

"I don't know exactly what to do to make a place like that..."

"Mr. Run, guys, I'll talk to you. Because Gaius, alone, is different."

"Oh, yeah"

We have that conversation while the two of us are facing each other.

And Gaius, breathing, went out loud.

"I definitely don't want to make people like my father kill me anymore for anything. So definitely make a place for everyone to laugh!!

Gaius looks at me. I, too, raised my voice to meet it.

"Yeah. I'll help you with that. Me too, because I want to make it! And strong enough to protect all my loved ones!!

I poked my fists at each other, and the two of us took such vows.

It may or may not be difficult. But you want to make it happen, because you want to make a place like that, and that's what I feel for sure. I thought from the bottom of my heart that we wanted to make such a lovely place together.

Me and Gaius, the only two people listening to such vows were the sea fo watching this one and the shining stars in the sky.

- A girl and a boy's vow two.

(Maybe the divine girl dreamed of the boy, wondering how nice it was. That's why they swore. when I try to make a place like that while I'm young)
