Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

◇◇◇

The next afternoon, Freed summoned Theon to our room.

A nervous-looking Theon arrives. He still wore a long black jacket today. Thinking about it, Theon always feels like he's wearing dark clothes.

--But it's mourning, isn't it?

I felt Theon's deep love for Sakura-san, and my chest hurt.

Straight thoughts. It's terrible that they don't reach our people. But since I had passed away, there was nothing I could do about it.

- Senpai, you really liked Sakura-san.

I just wanted to go home to celebrate the Bodhisattva. That is quite a thought, isn't it?

I heard you were calling me, so I passed by.

I told Theon quietly. I noticed that the hand was trembling a little.

I wonder what kind of answer will be given. I'm worried.

From the point of view of me, who knew the old Senior Ziyuan, I was surprised that that senpai was nervous!? But for him, he was on the verge of returning home. It was only natural to be nervous.

Suggested by Freed, Theon sits on the sofa. Freed said to him, pulling his lips together.

"Yesterday, I was talking about..."

"Ah... hah, yes"

Theon's voice is rising. Fried did not preface it, but told it clearly.

"I will grant you your wish."

"Eh..."

And when he had spoken lightly, Zion's eyes were rounded.

"Um, um..."

"I said I would heed your wishes. Do you need our help to get you back to Japan? He says he'll help."

……

Zion stares at Freed with an unbelievable face. The man looked at me. I nod as if I were in agreement with Friedo.

“Yeah, I'm just like Freed. I'll help you, too.”

"... is it okay?"

I thought I'd be happy, and it was the confused voice that came back from Theon.

I accidentally tilted my neck.

"There's nothing good about it... I think you're the one who said you wanted me to cooperate."

"No... that's right... but..."

Zion shakes his head from side to side, looking like he saw something impossible. Looking at the situation, I realized that I thought I'd be turned down in nine out of ten.

"Did you think I'd say no?"

"... yes, I take that for granted."

In response to my question, Theon answered with a hard face.

"All I'm saying is, I just want you to listen to me. You have nothing to gain. No, you could be at a disadvantage. Who do you think would make such a wish come true? That's why I gave up, saying that it would be difficult to get people to accept what I said.”

I heard the honest feelings of Theon, and I think it is true.

I also thought I would cooperate because I was an acquaintance in my previous life, and I'm sure that if I was a stranger, I would have kicked my ass. It was similar to Freed's.

He is indebted to Theon. I accepted it because I wanted to return it, but I don't think I would have nodded so easily otherwise.

Our position is irreplaceable.

There may be some risks, but you can't just say, "Yeah, that's fine."

I guess Theon knew that too. That's why I feel suspicious.

“I really appreciate your cooperation. But is it really okay? I can't give you anything back. After all, I'm going back to my country. Are you really going to help me if I can't give you anything?”

"Yeah, of course."

Freed nods vigorously.

"I won't go into detail, but I owe you one." You don't have to think about the price. "

"You have to give it back?" Did I? Did I do anything to His Highness Friedrich? "

Fried smiled bitterly at Theon, who looked like he didn't really understand.

Even with him, it's hard to say that Zion helped me and both of us. Yeah, I'm a little embarrassed, too, so I want you to give me a break.

"If you don't know, you don't know. Regardless, we have decided to help you return. So -- I'll check again, did Lord Maysa tell you to visit Lord Derris?"

"Y-Yes...!"

Theon nodded as he hurriedly corrected his posture.

Freed looks at me. I looked into his eyes and laughed with a smile.

"Ok. Now, let's go to Mr. Derris." The sooner the better. ”

When I got up from the sofa, Theon looked at me with a surprised look on his face.

Majesty?

"Liddy has a close relationship with Lord Derris." Of course, you know where it is. "

Do you know the witch Derris?

I replied with a smile to Zion, who opened his eyes wide.

"Yes, Mr. Derris is a friend." That's why going to Mr. Derris isn't a problem in itself. "

"... that's what the witch Meisa told the concubines to take you to the witch Derris?"

She muttered to herself and Theon stood up. That's how you stare at me.

I didn't expect the Masamune to have a close relationship with the witch Derris.

"I met her by accident."

I won't say more. Freed also stood up and offered me his hand. Without hesitation, I lay my hands on it.

"Let's get out of here. If you want to go, it's better to go fast."
