"- Ze, come here. Te - '

'Wait. Father, mother. Wait a minute.

Only my parents call me by my own name, but I can't decide to listen.

In a wilderness that spreads under the sun, he looks out from the eyes of others at how a young self is running after his parents' backs. If I had cut that moment and made it into a painting, I would have made it look like a happy piece.

However, since it is common as a model, it will probably not be given a special assessment.

The sights that touch such everyday warmth always dye abruptly red.

If you point that sword at me, you're my enemy, too?

In front of a young self, a big man still appears who tries to take his father's life.

"Don't... don't!

I can't stand still and rough up my voice, but my voice doesn't get that far. Until the big man puts his parents in his hands, the only thing he can do is watch, young or otherwise.

I wake up in my bedroom all the time in the early morning when the sun can't even rise yet.

A few days back from neutrality, Mute had all the same dreams. It was a fragment of a memory that was never forgotten, even in retrospect, over the past few years, it hadn't come to a dream.

Why by now - there was a verse for that reason that came to mind, and I also thought it must be.

The one about strong will for me is still that...

Until just six months ago, I can think of a boy's face that I hadn't caught my eye on.

Girl hobbyist self attracted and inspired by his aspirations and expecting the hand of salvation. Denying him or everything about himself like that. But someday I'm thinking of avenging myself. I feel those opposite beings in my chest.

"If we hadn't even met, wouldn't this have happened?

Mute scoffed at herself when she asked herself knowing she couldn't give an answer.

The season had shifted into winter, and indoor temperatures had fallen more easily. My body could be cold and sick while I was dreaming and sweating in my sleep. There are chills in the room that are going to get cold even if they don't.

When I woke up and tried to wipe my sleeping sweat, my butler, Proinaf, just visited the room.

"I thought it was time to wake up… we have a bathing schedule"

Due to the tone of the words and the good preparation, I assumed that the mute had been seen.

"Am I, after all, being done again?

"These days...... ever since that boy visited here, the lady looked good. But since you came back from your hometown, it's like when you were adopted by your husband. You reminded me again, didn't you?

Asked by Proinaf at an intimate rate.

Without saying anything here, Mute took him to the bathroom.

Take off the sweat-stained negligee in the stripper and enter the ancient and clean bathroom. Sprinkle a stretch of dirt with sprinkled water before soaking it in the hot tub.

When the core of her body warmed and her mind began to calm down, she finally replied to Proinaf, who had allowed her to refrain at the end of the bathroom.

"Since when have you stopped trying to teach me the sword from yourself?

"I'm old, too. We can't keep up with the lady's movements anymore."

"It wouldn't be the real reason, would it? Don't you think I'm willing to teach you revenge?

"... I'd like your daughter to have a happy future."

Deeply bowed his head, the veracity of the word was also shown in his attitude.

"Ha. That's not the answer."

With a dry laugh included in his voice, Mute continued to change the story.

"I say old, but your father-in-law told me. He was a well-known knight during the war. Right?

"It was seventy years ago. It's too narrow to be proud of it."

"Isn't it enough to know one country? I don't know how you're doing."

"... sword saint of the east, sword emperor of the west. The more they are, the more I'll be proud of my name."

"Then it's a narrow story in one country... I hear it's a gaga story, but what about the truth?

Between looking back at the time, Proinaf opened his mouth again.

"It was when I was marching across a certain mountain range. I joined the then marshal's large unit as a knight, and I saw him there. Pure white hair in the wind, awesome eyes, unfamiliar black clothes, opposite blade swords… the vast majority saw him as usual, but I trembled from the bottom of my heart into terror"

"How could that be?

"I wondered if man was such a creature capable of carrying evil deeds... I felt darkness inside him. It was as if we were gathering on him from a bad feeling. If you don't run, otherwise there's no life - I had a hunch, but I'm pretty sure you were right."

Mute listened and mumbled.

"I was ambushed near the summit of the mountain by an empire that had read about the march across the mountains. But this is what I was ready for... what convinced me was that there was a sword emperor in it. From there it was their only battlefield."

I get scared more and more by the voice of Proinaf.

"Kensei and the sword emperor pulled out their swords and collided. Coincidentally, or they turned their minds, the two powers flowed sideways and broke the mountain into one letter. Blowing up in the aftermath of the collision also took my life. I went straight down the mountains to escape. I ran desperately -"

Away from the roar I felt on my back, Proinaf was stunned at the time.

Looking back, there was no mountain that should have gone down now. There was only a plain spread in disguise and two figures fighting with tremendous brilliance.

The marshals, the knights, the general soldiers at the time - everyone who escaped the difficulties could only watch how it went.

"I survived that place… I was inspired to be praised for this, and I was spread my name. So I can't really be proud of my power."

"Sounds like a well made story. No, you say, maybe..."

By the time I finished listening, Mute left the tub.

Continue "Whatever" as you put your sleeve through the robe handed to Proinaf.

"Thanks. I was distracted when we were talking"

"Are you on your left?"

In pure white hair, unfamiliar clothing, a single-edged sword is a knife? No way......

Faces learned from the traits were associated, but mutes quickly become negative. Seventy years was an old thing, and I thought it was something that I couldn't normally think about. Or something more bothering me than that.

"... Proinaf. Why did that sword saint you saw have the darkness?

"There's probably something you can live without knowing."

"Right. Sounds like you."

The sun rises and the day begins.

Mute, dressed in a uniform for the winter, attended the Third Knight Training School.

Face to face with faces that have begun to get familiar, such as John and Nene, who are instructors, Holloro, a classmate, and the twins of Custeph, a junior.

In the morning I take classes in the classroom, I pinch lunch, and in the afternoon I train in practical skills - I step into my usual routine and behave unusual again.

Ever since she cried hollow, she has been pretending to be what others think she is.

I've never tried to distance myself from anyone before and build a special friendship. So it was easy to hide. Originally, I was not noticed because I was not interested.

I also felt lonely about this, but she couldn't help but be convinced that it had come to what she wanted.

"Hey... what happened to you?

Still, if you're going to have to notice, the mute will go awry.

I'm not sure I can be positioned as a friend, but I can assure you I'm not someone else - I've had a relationship with Lunaquin that seems like it in recent months. I also feel that I am someone of the same sex, close to my age, and able to communicate without hesitation.

I make it like I chose an unpopular place, and I'm embarrassed to be cared for by her like that.

"What happened to the stick from Yabu? That's creepy."

Though distressed, Mute nodded brightly.

"You're creepy. Like that...... oh, that's enough."

It is suspected that its brightness is not "from where".

Without being pursued, Lunaquin continued to shake another topic.

"More than that, you wouldn't have a weird bug or anything on Senior Holloro over there, would you?

"Well, I don't know... I can't tell you enough not to"

"Damn. I hate this past month. But if Senior Holoro is nice, can't you help being a hottie? Hey, did you notice? Senior Holoro is growing taller. Growing up? And come on..."

The mouth that talks about the boy in his mind has no way of stopping without any sign of finally saying it. With a tranced look, he keeps using his head as a word forever.

Looking at Lunaquin like that, Mute was relieved to be sad.

"... you still like hollows, don't you?

"Yes, I have a big senior holoro...... what?

I swallowed the word Lunaquin nearly reflexively said.

Her face, turned around like she was bounced, looks confused, rubbed, and intricate. Mute tries to react like that and speculates in her heart.

"... you, I knew something would happen, didn't you?

"Me too, yeah, maybe"

I confessed slightly to leaving the momentum to each other and frightened, but it was a moment.

"Ho, ho. And I knew it, that's about it. Not now... not now. What I want to know is what you have in your belly. There's nothing between women, so, uh, why don't we talk about it?

To Lunaquin, who arms and snorts, Mute cut out when she decides to.

"Actually, I'm going to give up. I'm not going to deserve it."

".................. Huh?

"These days, the back of my chest is squeaky. You call it a hunch? Maybe in the near future..."

"Wait. What the hell is that? You don't know what that means. I knew it was crazy."

Mute, who was full of drinks, had not heard Lunaquin.

"When the time comes, what will happen... it's about me. I'm sure I can't contain it."

"Hey, hey? What do you mean?

"So before that happens, you hollow till my minute..."

"Listen to me. Whoa, whoa!?

He grabbed his head to pinch it with both hands, and Lunaquin punched him in the head.

A shock runs on my forehead in conjunction with a blunt beating called Gong. Now Mute finally returns to me.

Apparently, my forehead was tougher than I thought, and it hurt more to roll out a head poke - and I can think of a reason why Lunaquin started sneaking around.

"Ginyaaaah!? Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. No!

"Oh, hey, you okay?

Mute was unusual and awkward.

"Well... it's not up to you to decide if you don't deserve it, is it?

The words return quickly, remaining in a painfully nodded position.

"Is that what it is?

"I don't know very well either. But I'm sure it is."

"I..."

Trying to force me to talk, it was stopped by Lunaquin.

"Fine, you don't have to. If that bothers you, talk to me. I'll ask you whenever I am... so I'm not running alone? You know there's someone you're worried about, right?

"... right"

"Not at all, we're close to a martial arts festival, so please?

"I'll do what I have to.... but you're a good guy."

Mute knows who worries about her. Someone actually remembers being worried. I remember poking it apart - I got a sense of reality when I got Lunaquin an undecorated word.

Before I realized it, surprisingly, I might have been in a circle of people...

With that in mind, she spills nature and a grin.

"Hi-no!? Oh, don't look at me like that! Disgusting!"

Mute correctly understands who she is in the dark. It interprets that man should not have, that he should not involve anyone else, that he is definitely not righteous, etc.

Tempted by both conscience and nausea, her heart kept shaking unstable.
