Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

◇◇◇

"That day, since the concubine saved me, I'm here now." He bought me from that shopkeeper and took off his damn collar. [M] I really, really appreciate you letting me out so I can go. ”

Aeon bowed his head as he finished telling his story. As he raised his face, he saw me with gray eyes that sometimes looked silver. The expression reminds me of Grau.

"At the time of removing the collar, I was able to speak. But I was scared. I was terrified to be seen in a strange way by someone who saved me, and I chose to leave you without saying anything."

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

I told him to repent for the terrible things he had done.

It's natural to think that Aeon is scared.

In any case, his half-life is too spectacular. Dropped by slaves, bought by witches, and truly just beasts.

Even the only words left for him can no longer be used after the collar of the magic item is attached.

In the midst of despair, even if a bailout suddenly arrives, you won't believe it.

Looking at my face, which I take for granted, Aeon distorts his face painfully.

"Thank you. But... that's wrong as a Beastman." Because you're the benefactor. I was saved by you. [M] It's true that I was a beast, but thanks to you, I won't be trampled down with any more dignity. I was free. I don't know how to hide my feelings..... "

I can't forgive myself. That was the atmosphere from Aeon.

"... that's why you stayed in Wilhelm and protected the King's City?"

He suddenly remembers and says:

Fried said when he heard that he was still in the capital.

I wonder if he's trying to repay me.

In fact, Friedo was right about Grau's condition, and I thought he was a wolf.

"... yes"

In response to my doubts, Aeon nodded in desperation.

"Although you helped me a lot, I still had the curse that I shouldn't let my acquaintance know who I was." That's why I can't go back to the island. When I was free, I decided what to do now. At least I'm trying to protect you from the outside world. I couldn't say anything, but I didn't want to be ungrateful. So at the very least, what can I do? "

Aeon decided to stay in Wilhelm.

For Aeon, who had no choice but to remove the curse from Giltia or return home, defending Wilhelm was his new life goal.

That is how we came to spend our days.

"I was really happy when you picked me up. I thought it would be a good idea to treat it like a pet if it was an opportunity to repay your gratitude directly. Because you're the one who freed me from that hell. You don't have to go back to the way it was. It would be great if I could serve you to the end and die... that's what I thought. But..."

Chila and Aeon look at Lena.

She looked like she didn't know what to do.

Lena

Call me by name. Lena saw me.

"Majesty, Majesty, ah, I....."

"You don't have to be nervous. So tell me what you've been up to? You don't have to hurry, do you?"

"Yes, yes..."

Lena nodded slightly and began to explain.

What happened to her last night.

I went for a walk with Grau, and I kissed him there, and for some reason he became a human, a beast.

Yes, she said.

Listen and see Aeon.

I mean, does that mean that Lena lifted your curse?

Yes.

Aeon nodded.

I naturally saw Lena next to him. Lena was shrinking with the look of no room for herself.

Lena

”Ah, I... didn't know Grau was a beastman... but I thought he liked it”

Lena said that she felt so good that she kissed her.

Indeed, it seemed that Lena had unusual feelings for Grau from before. I thought you were in love.

I didn't expect that feeling to be enough to lift Aeon's curse.

Take a kiss from someone you truly care about.

Once that condition was met, Aeon was able to return to its former form.

I don't know... that's true.

Aeon also agreed that she was surprised at the miracle that even the cursed witch would not have imagined.

"I didn't think I'd be able to get rid of the curse even if I came here." It was this little cat beast that solved it. Certainly, I came to the mainland looking for a connection, but I didn't expect this to happen. ”

Aeon looked at Lena as though she was in trouble, but she couldn't help it.

There was a cage of compassion in those eyes, and it might not be love, but I could see that Aeon was accepting Lena.

In retrospect, Grau had originally accepted Lena.

She was allowed to be by her side with a look of helplessness. The fact that you removed the curse where you didn't originally have bad emotions. This may lead to the formation of a couple of different years.

Because at least Lena's feelings were true love.

”But... it's amazing”

Liddy?

Fried, who remained silent for so long, called me by my name, thinking that something like this had happened.

What's so great about that?

"Huh? I thought it was like a fairy tale world where kissing makes you human..."

It reminds me of the ogasaki of my previous life.

True love dissolves the wicked witch's magic. The prince and the princess were bound and lived happily ever after.

It is true that we often hear stories, but they are only creations, not actual stories.

Is that often the case?

Is it a major issue in this world? I thought so, but Friedo denied it.

"No, that's not true." It's too special. I think it's the right thing to do because it's a witch. Maybe the witch set up such a decursing condition with the intention of harassing her. "

I see. I don't think you're going to decurse me.

Mmm, nod.

When I heard the story, I completely accepted that Grau was Aeon.

At first, I did think it was suspicious, but I had no choice but to convince myself by listening to him, and that seems to be the case with Freed.

I'm only surprised that the wolf that I brought to the castle was a Wolf Beastman who had been missing for so many years, but I'm glad to see the results.

And I was fumbling inside.

After all, Grau was a beast man.

Even when I was a wolf, I was jealous of Grau. What would happen if I knew that it was actually an adult male?

- No, no, I don't think so.

I nodded, reflecting again on my actions.

There are also free-eyes for basic grau, so there should have been no excessive expressions of affection.

At best, it hugged my neck, and it was stopped by Freed.

And there was nothing particularly problematic about Grau's behavior.

He always treated me like a gentleman, and he never stuck to me or anything like that.

Even when he was in front of our room, he never came inside.

I never missed myself.

No matter how much it looked like, I can only think of it as his gentlemanly behavior towards women, who were actually beasts.

Even if it was a wolf, it seemed amazing to me if I noticed him sincerely treating me.
