Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"I hear something happened to Liddy. I need you in the office right away."

"What? Is she safe! I'd better go out and find it too..."

"That shouldn't be a problem because Fried's on his way. I want you to pack it here just in case. Glenn has already been instructed to search."

"Ah...... oh ok"

Sudden emergency communication from Alec. When I was surprised to hear from him who didn't use a lot of reading, I connected the line and was told a hell of a story.

◇ ◇ ◇

His Highness suddenly called her name and disappeared...

Seeing His Highness in a rare hurry, Alec apparently decided it was an emergency. I think that's right, and I think it's accurate that you instructed Glenn to search. But the only thing I don't know about anything is that I feel more anxious, and I feel like I can't do it.

"Will, calm down a little bit because it's good"

Alec looks more frightened at me walking around the office.

When I came to my room, you looked so much worse than me, and now it seemed like you were completely at peace.

"Don't you care?"

"Of course I'm determined to care. But Fried changed his blood phase. There's no way he's going and there's anything in Liddy."

"That's... yes"

I have more types of magic to use, but the absolute amount of magic is overwhelmingly higher in Your Highness. Furthermore His Highness is a master of swords. It sounds sillier to worry if you think calmly. I know that, but I just can't stay calm thinking something might have happened to her.

"I should still go and find it too..."

"Stop it. It's inefficient. One of these days, Glenn tells me there's a comm..."

Obstructing my words, Alec receives a report from Glenn. Alec looked relieved and told me that he had finished his reading after a while.

"Liddy is safe. The details are still unknown, but apparently Fried made it. He told me to bring him over, so I think he'll be here any minute."

"Right...... good"

I exhale in relief when I hear she's safe.

After a long breath, Alec also nodded with a relaxed expression.

"... I'm so glad Fried noticed."

"How did His Highness notice that?

I questioned him, but Alec twisted his neck.

"I suddenly got up and flew away. Didn't you prep Liddy for some sort of tracking magic? Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm more comfortable with that."

"... right"

Unfortunately, I can't deny it.

As soon as I take my eyes off her, it's classic for her to flaunt something. Not that it's a bell on the cat's neck, but I can feel safer if I can go and help him right away when something happens.

Talking to both of us, the door opened a while later.

Liddy looked at her face as though she was not normal and was relieved to look at her like that.

"Liddy!"

You didn't seem to care at all until just now, but as soon as I saw her sister's face, Alec ran over to her worried. I guess I was pretty keen on it just because I didn't put it in my attitude. That's him, and he adores her, who is pretty much his sister. To Alec like that. She said she looked sorry but it was okay. but is drawn and held by an arm that has been stretched from behind.

Her Royal Highness, who followed her in, was holding her tight.

Embraced by Her Royal Highness all the time, she looks embarrassed, but she fits heavily in Her Royal Highness's arms with a slight joy.

Looking at the two of them, Alec caught a pull off, but His Highness doesn't fit in. I decided to leave the two of them behind, and I approached her.

To tell you the truth, I didn't want to see her or anything like her being hugged and happy by Her Highness, but I was worried about her, too. The desire to make sure she was safe nearby worked stronger.

"Liddy."

"Will."

Apologize to me for the inconvenience she caused with only her face pointed this way. [M]

To that I shook my head and talked absurdly, and His Highness had instructed me to take my seat once. Everyone honestly follows a particular opinion.

That's how I started listening to her, but when she told me about the magic vial, my interest was there.

"Magic Vial"

It is one of the most famous magicians. Very rare value with Sahaja's magic tools.

The effect of trapping anything you touch in a bottle is practical, useful, and traded at a high price in the auction behind.

When I heard about the glitch, I thought about it.

Oh, I don't normally think that a magic tool that comes with a magical effect from the beginning would cause a glitch, etc. But in fact, Liddy was safe. If you stop by her story, it doesn't mean the bottle broke.

I am intrigued by rare examples. I immersed myself in thought.

Even as I immersed myself in my world, I could hear His Highness.

Some of them told me that she would be living in Her Royal Highness's room for a while, and I felt a little chest ache, but I could ignore it if I thought it was for her safety.

It is difficult for me to create such a powerful bond. [M] Alec's story, especially that being on that side would lead to her safety, was so much so that there was no need to have an argument.

We talked the whole way, and Glenn stood up. I'll follow suit.

I'd like to find out a little more about the magic trick. I also have an old magic book in my room. It might say something that would tip you if you fished around it again. I thought so and wondered what she was going to do.

His Royal Highness and Alec will have affairs. I thought it would be pathetic on the boulder to go back to His Royal Highness's room alone now. Besides, I'd like to talk to her a little more.

That's how I felt, so I suggested I give her a lift to her room.

I'd put her in the royal neighborhood with no problems, and I'd be more comfortable than letting the escorts take care of her.

That's what I thought, but the proposal was rejected by her own.

That's what I was told I wanted to be with His Highness a little longer.

No, I didn't say it clearly in words. But it just sounded like it to me. Maybe everyone but her would have noticed. Her Royal Highness was smiling with joy at her words, and Alec was giving her permission, even though she was half frightened.

It is true that she felt scared today. So I know Alec's words that I said don't mind, but it was obvious to everyone that the reason she said it was because she wanted to be at His Highness's side.

Ouch...... My chest tightens tightly.

I felt much hotter in the back of my eyes.

She laughs happily with permission.

I apologized to her for turning to me. I couldn't bear to lay my eyes down, even though I told her that it was this one that lacked consideration.

But what got in my eyes there......

She and Her Highness sit side-by-side on the couch.

Two people at a perfect leaning distance.

On the couch, I could see Her Royal Highness's right hand gently squeezing her left hand in an invisible place if she sat down.

She trembles tingly.

Seeing her reaction like that, Her Royal Highness, relaxed her eyes, tried to tangle her fingers and just held her hand until she let go.

While reddening her ears to His Highness's sudden actions, she was also intertwining those fingers to respond.

They showed me that, and I couldn't have stayed calm.

"... eh. Then I'll do it."

I couldn't stand it anymore and left the place intact.

... I knew it.

When I left the office, I closed my eyes and held my chest tight.

My brother's voice follows me.

"Brother!

I don't want to be sympathetic, and I start walking around ignoring my brother's voice.

I'm the one who decided to keep her in mind. What if I can't stand this much?

I understand as much as she loves His Highness.

It was Her Royal Highness she chose.... Not me.

"Brother!

"Shut up. Don't follow me. You go back to your place."

"But!

Running away my brother, who came to chase me away, without a shame.

Please, I want you to be alone. I don't want the sympathy or the comfort that I get.

I don't want that.

What I want is...

"Brother..."

"What do you know? Don't touch my wounds like you change women night after night."

"Huh!! Sorry......"

Did they poke you in the pain, glance at Glenn who stopped and start walking again.

Glenn didn't come after me anymore.

That's fine, even though I thought so, regret gave me a heartbeat.

- I didn't mean to say that.

He has his own idea, too. I knew it, but it hit me.

"... I suck"

Exhaled loudly and held his forehead.

I can't say anything to the woman I like, and it's sprinkling on my brother...... I can't even honestly congratulate His Holiness and her that I think of.

I'm getting more and more serious.

Can't you still give her up? Pathetic. Too pitiful for me to cry.

It would be easier if you could just give up...

Yeah. How many times did you think that? But...

"I can't, what?"

There's no way I can turn down my feelings for her now. Because that's what drives me all. If I lose that, there's nothing left. It goes empty.

"It's hard... na"

I remember Alec's words.

It will be harder from now on. That's what he said.

I'm not the only one who answered that.

So this is something I should take.

"Ha..."

I stopped and took a big, deep breath.

It's not like this yet. More pain will continue.

If you don't like it, you have to give her up if you can't stand it.

I know that.

And I know perfectly well that the day will not come when I will be rewarded.

But...

"Still can't give up. I like you... Liddy."

The words spouted with sighs were pathetic enough for me to understand.
