◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

Kaoruhei! Wait! Where are you going!? Go back Kaoruhei!

Without listening to her mother's stillness, she leapt out of one of the apartments barefoot.

I was hurt by the meaning of the words I said, but the young will interrupted me, and I was afraid that I would get angry even though it was a story I could apologize for, and I couldn't help it anymore.

When you wait for the elevator, you'll be caught up. Run down the emergency stairs vigorously, across the entrance lobby, no destination. Just run.

"Ahhh! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Gaggling and trembling bodies are sometimes frozen in the rain, but because they cry with regret gushing out of their chests and a sense of disappointment in themselves that surpasses them, without even caring for the eyes.

There's no reason why I don't like it.

I love my mother.

I admire my father.

I care about my brother more than anyone else.

I'm not the one most surprised by the words of rejection that came out of my mouth.

I was anxious and anxious that I might have hurt my mother with those words.

The first escape from reality since birth. I couldn't have stayed in my room like that.

So just keep running looking for a place to escape.

There can't be a place like that.

Even though my family is all I have and my family is my world.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

"... So, Your Highness?

Keeping his eyes open, Cayone stares straight at Prince Atl.

I don't understand the meaning of the words I told you, and it seems I haven't caught up with my thoughts yet.

Utai, standing next to him, looked at Kayone with his mouth tightly closed and worried.

"Ah, no. Interval, it's over, yo?

A minute between rounds has already passed.

Sister and brother in paradise, the bearer of this duel. Among other things, Mr. Nanairo, who served as a Judge Referee, asked me rarely if I should.

"Excuse me, Mr. Nanairo. Could you just wait a little longer?

Reply without even turning around.

"Iya, it's nothing good, sir?

"Sister, be quiet now."

"Ah, ugh."

Honestly nodding to the words of Gassara, the copper "Dora" clerk, Mr. Nanairo lowered to the rope.

"Bad old Gassara. Maybe I'll annoy you"

If this happens, I don't know what will happen.

When I glanced at Gassara with a word, he was holding a big bee in his arms.

"... well, I thought it might just not be over. Makio was right."

"Makio?"

What was Makio saying today that you were reluctant because it was going to be rough?

"'Kaoruhei-kun, when you get hot, you seem to stop thinking about it, so stop it for you'. Isn't that the big answer, silly?"

"Gu"

He seemed to be spotted and I can't say anything.

I mean, they say something similar to Shohei, Aoi, or Mikuma.

I always try to be cool (Clevers).

"Me and my brother are holding off on whatever happens. Nobody's complaining about a duel like this that you didn't have a choice in the first place, and I'm not gonna let you say it. Do whatever you want. Hey, brother?"

"Ma-ka-ka-lo."

Mr. Seijitsu, told by Gassara, nodded slowly, speaking slowly.

Oh, were you awake? I thought you were asleep because you didn't move at all.

I really can count on this Moffmoff brothers.

Oh, Mr. Nanairo? Well, if the conversation gets stubborn, it's up to me to intrude. What I expect from Mr. Seijitsu is Mr. Nanairo's stillness.

"Oh, please. Thanks."

I had a mild meeting with a bitter smile.

Don't worry about it.

That's what you said, it really helps.

"Dad, I'm sorry. You bought me a second and left, but maybe it'll just be a beating."

When I keep looking at my father, he looks funny with his arms around him.

I see.

If it was a sport based on rules and format, I think there was a part of it that could be broken.

No matter how unfaithful I am, I've never had a fight in front of my father.

"... for Jaja and Nana?

"Uh, no. This is..."

If this happens, it's not anymore.

Jaja and Nana have nothing to do with this duel. I won't let it matter.

It's about to be a terribly violent and barbaric reason simply because I'm annoyed with the prince.

I'm not going to have any more patience.

"... no. My faith and my will."

So I answered that.

"... ok. Only this time I'm gonna miss you."

Sighing deeply, my father shook his head.

I'm really sorry about my stupid son. Because one day, my father will be the eldest son with a grand chest.

Always.

"Kaoruhei-san..."

"Duel, do you continue?

Aoi and Mikuma at Ringside look at me worried.

"Hey, are you serious? I'm gonna preach to that asshole prince for a second."

How many times do I have to make these two look like this?

Aoi and Mikuma leaned down, swallowing the words they were about to put out.

Heartache tightens the chest. But I can't stop anymore.

This is my nature from birth. Someday they might give up their love.

But now.

"... Come on, Prince Atl. No, Atl. I'm gonna start over, but now I'm gonna have to decide the terms of the duel."

As he waved away his apologies, he turned to Atl with momentum and told him with a glance into his eyes.

I don't even like to call you after what you call it anymore. By and large, why should I be afraid of a coin the same age?

The stage of honoring your identity is over.

Sufficient to summon. A guy like this.

"Oh, you! Do what you want!

The werewolf Atl stepped out to embark on himself and stopped hesitantly.

I don't know which mouth will say it on its own.

Take our options, get us out of here, and I won't let you say that now.

I'll say it again.

"Drop it, I'll let you put it on."

Yeah, we're not just family.

And to Cayone and Utah behind you.

I'll let that attitude, which I tried to pass through, get me through it exactly.

"Use whatever you want, whether it's magic or wings. I'm not complaining about flying. However, settle on this ring. No interval either. If you make your opponent admit to losing, you win. It's simple, isn't it? If I lose, I'll drink all your say. I'll do whatever you want in the dungeon or whatever. But if I win, uh-huh."

"Ma, wait. So give me a minute!

No, I won't wait. Why don't you wait for me?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

That's your way through, isn't it?

I know. Give me your crooked, distorted true meaning.

"Oh, you... are you stupid? What's in it for you... what's in it for you? Do that for a reason!

Hey.

It's not for me to win something with violence in the first place.

I've never had a fight for myself before.

Because that's all I'm proud of.

Just, well, this time.

"There's no reason. It has no purpose. Just because you regret it the most, I'll just freshen up a little bit. That's all."

Please forgive me for harassing you.

"Hey, what are you talking about... Ri, I don't understand"

The bewildered prince unwittingly retreats. When I put my back on the corner post, I noticed Kayone and Utai right behind it and made my body stretch.

Cayone's sad eyes and Atl's frightened eyes.

Its gaze intersects and silence runs around the ring.

"... Kaoruhei-san is the one who says so. It's not rational."

Aoi's voice mutilated the silence.

"Yeah. Right. Kaoruhei-kun is so angry that it can no longer be stopped by reason."

Then there was a voice in Mikuma, and it was in tune with Aoi.

Look at the two of you.

There was some strong determination in that face that I had leaned over worryingly earlier.

"It's okay, Kaoruhei-san. If that's what you've decided, then fight. I respect Kaoruhei's will no matter what. If I'm wrong, I'll definitely stop and show you."

... No, that would be easy for you to stop me. Instead, I have no idea what to do.

"Just calm down in weird places, don't just look over there in weird places. You don't have any luck with us falling in love with someone with a bad heart. I'm sure."

That's what Mikuma smiled at.

Aoi next door is also caught and laughs.

"You guys..."

Hey, what the hell is this air?

The atmosphere of the place between me and Atl, which was about to be slaughtered, changes gallantly.

"I'm sure it is. That Mr. Cayone is a woman," One ", and she can't put it down, can she? Seems Kaoruhei-kun."

Nodding Unh, Mikuma sees Aoi.

Aoi, who received that gaze, nodded in the same way.

"Kaoruhei-san. Kaoruhei-san doesn't seem to understand."

Aoi's eyes catch me.

I got a little dizzy in those eyes that were so powerful that they seemed to suck me in.

"Hey, what?

When I asked him back, Mikuma and Aoi were happy to hang out.

"For no reason, no purpose, just trying to help someone in need"

"Just 'awesome sweet guy', what is it?

"Yes."

Two people who talk happily.

What is that combination?

Not too effective for me?

Will you stop trying to eagle my heart like that?

Isn't it a little cowardly to be alone or something?

"Oh, yes."

I didn't know what to say and accidentally affirmed it.

Really, you're a good woman, both of you.

No, seriously, isn't it a mistake to be in love with me or something?

But, well.

"... uh, Atl. Sorry."

"Hey, what's up?"

Atl reacted suddenly freaking out at my words, wondering if I was facing the air in a somewhat hoary place.

Girls who only trust me.

You respect my will, you admit it, you're there for me.

I don't know. Come on. They're going to give me a ride.

"I'm sorry, but I'm motivated. You can't beat me right now if you don't do your best, too, can you?

You're a man who's not excited about this, you're not a man.
