Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

Well then, let's go.

"Come on, come on."

He exchanges goodbye kisses and leaves Freed walking toward the head of the army.

Dressed in a brave uniform, he was very well-appointed and lovely as usual, but he hasn't fallen in love with anything today.

A few hours before you leave.

I went out with Freed as much as I could, but did he recover somewhat?

I hope so. With a prayerful feeling, I was staring at my husband, who was heading for his white horse.

"Liddy"

Will.

They call me by name, and I look back. Will was the one who called out to me.

Commander of the Magic Division, my childhood friend.

Thinking of him as his other brother, he looked the same as usual, but the atmosphere was still different. Somewhere it felt a little tingly, probably because it was going to wartime.

"Be careful, Will."

I hear he's going to the same battlefield as Freed.

Will nodded to my words.

"... thank you. You're going to talk to Arcanum, too?" Be careful. "

Yeah.

I smiled back at Will, who was smiling clumsyly.

"I'm fine, and so is my brother."

I see. With Alec here, we'll be all right.

Yeah.

Reply again. I saw Will without a second thought.

Until now, he felt like he was talking about another world, and he didn't care much, but he was going to go to battle again.

In the same place as Freed.

Unexpectedly, I almost said, "Please tell me about Friedo," but I was already able to withstand it.

Will was going to the battlefield as a general. Risk and fight the lives of your men.

I didn't think that he could easily say my own wish.

"... what is it?"

"It's nothing."

Looking at Will without saying anything, he listened with his neck tilted.

Shake your head to the side in silence. Will said that to me.

”Um... I don't think I'd be comfortable with that, but I'm sure your Highness will return it to you”

"Eh..."

"Because you were so... worried about your Highness." No, I know it's unnecessary. "

……

Keep your eyes peeled and stare at Will.

He smiled gently. I can see that my eyes are full of compassion and that they care for me.

"I'm also aware that your Highness is constantly losing his magic power." You're worried about that, too, aren't you? "

"... yes..."

"It's all right, I'll keep an eye on you so you don't have to." If you say you're worried, I'm sure your Highness will be quiet as well. "

"... being quiet... is it actually the Freed type of piggybacking?"

When he joked, Will nodded with a serious look.

That's right. Even if you're a little nonsensical, you're the type to try your best [because it's faster for you to get out]

"Yeah, I know."

Convinced by Will's words, he giggles.

It's true that that's what Freed has. Will narrowed his eyes gently and told me.

"... that's how Liddy laughed. I'm sure that's what your Highness would be most pleased with."

Yeah.

"Your Highness, we will protect you." That's why you just have to wait with peace of mind. "

"Thank you."

Will was happy with his care.

I'm sure Will understood my desire to ask Freed. And he called out to me because I couldn't ask for him.

This is the kind of place Will has always had.

"Thank you, Will. I'm so happy.... thank you for Freed. He's not in good shape right now."

"Oh, your Highness is an unassuming replacement for us." We'll follow you all the way. "

"I'm relieved if Will says so."

I exhaled.

Before I even realized it, I seemed to be quite confined.

Yeah, it's okay.

Freed was sure to be okay, because Will, the head of the Magic Division, was with him.

I straddled Aima Ventiska and saw Fried, who started talking to the soldiers nearby. He seemed to be taking a leisurely attitude so as not to make everyone uneasy.

"...... I hope you don't force it."

The real tone of the voice was dizzy.

I know his role, but I couldn't help it.

As a prince, as a general, as a guide for everyone.

I think I want to spoil my eyes when I come back to Freed, who will continue to be attentive.

Thank you for your hard work.

I just want you to relax in front of me and rest your mind and body.

Because I am his wife.

"Ah....."

Suddenly, Freed looked back at us. I have been looking at it for a long time, so I noticed my gaze.

He laughed happily and waved at me. Hurry up and shake it back.

"Freed..."

It was a brief exchange, but it was still a pleasure.

Freed holds Ventiska's reins. Will said quietly.

"- Liddy, I'm coming with you."

Reacting to his voice, he looks at Will. The Magic Division was about to start.

"Yeah. Come on." Thank you for taking the trouble to speak up. Um... please take care of Friedo. "

Lower your head.

Will nodded, “Oh.”

"I'll take care of it."

"Yeah, I'm counting on you." I believe Will will protect Freed. "

This is Will, who is a young regimental leader. Will is right, he'll care about Freed. I was very happy about that.

I smile at Will.

He watched for a moment, then twitched his eyes to endure something.

"Will?"

"... no, it's nothing"

Shaking his head to the side, he opened his mouth.

"It's okay, I'll meet your expectations."

"Thank you, Will. Come on."

I'll tell you again.

The presence of a childhood friend who gave me powerful words was very comforting to me.
