Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

Shin-- and the neighborhood calmed down.

I don't know what happened. Mages staring at this one with such a face. I can't see my face because I'm behind it, but perhaps Fried is surprised, too. Naturally, too. 'Cause although I've tried to put it into practice, I'm most surprised.

... It went horribly well.

Is neutralizing magic a shot, even though it's refreshing to say that you were usually practicing magic?

Speaking of which, I remember that time when Cain also activated unconsciously.

I called his name sharply while everyone was distracted and unable to move.

It doesn't make a difference that now is your chance.

"Freed!

"Huh! Oh."

Calling his name, he instantly regained himself and ran through with his sword. When you get to the magicians in no time, the next moment you will trump the two of them.

Confirm that and breathe out. He was still nervous for a long time.

I broke the kettle with a pattern of swords and asked him as he slowly returned here.

"... what about that knife?

Fried shook his head to deny it. Wipe the blood on the sword and deliver it to the sheath. The metal sound sounded at that time was somewhat realistic.

"If you look where the signs are gone, you must have escaped. We're the only ones moving around here right now."

"Yes... it's over?

"Oh... what, Liddy?

I was told it was over, and I lost my strength from all over my body. Fried rushes to embrace me when I lose my power and collapse.

"Ha... I'm out of power"

Fried hugged me all the time laughing with a pitiful face.

"... I'm glad you're safe"

"Freed?

Fried's voice was trembling. And both hands hugging me.

"Suddenly I stood in front of him... how scared I was then. I've never felt that fear, when I was on the front lines in a war. I thought my heart would crush just because I thought I might lose Liddy..."

Sounding sad, I lay down my face.

"Sorry......"

"Don't imitate me like that again. No matter how many lives you have, it's not enough.... Are you hurt?

"Yeah, I'm fine"

"Good......"

Words spouted with a breath of relief convey how scared he thought he was to lose me. Still, I had to oh then. Because I didn't want to see him hurt as much as I did.

Sticking to him as he felt coming up, he held him up as he was. Horizontal - so-called princess cuddled and panicked. It's often done in the room, but it's out here. That's just embarrassing.

"Huh, Fried? Put me down."

"No. Mostly, you won't be able to stand with your hips missing. Grow up."

"Ugh."

Not only do I lose my strength, but I get stuck in words when I can sense that I'm losing my hips.

I can't help but be strong. I gave up, and I put my hands around his neck.

I look very good Fried smiling just as well done.

The closeness of the corner, I didn't want to fall in love with it in full, but there was something I had to check before that.

"What about Fried? Injured... not?

When Peppy and his cheeks touched his forehead, Fried grinned ticklishly.

"I didn't. Because Liddy protected me.... because it really just gets impotent. I never thought I'd use neutralising magic over there."

I thought he knew about it, too, when he said he was surprised.

Sounds like a rare magic lesser known, but I guess it's not weird knowing it's going to be about him. I was relieved to say that I saved myself the trouble of explaining. Honestly, I thought it would be difficult if you told me to explain something I didn't know very well.

"Oh, or I thought Fried would get hurt..."

"That's all you stood in front of the flames and worked hard for me? For me?

"Yeah."

He nodded because he was right, and looked up to heaven, saying he had come.

"... you're a total defeat"

"What?"

"No. I just thought I fell back in love with Liddy again. So? You're gonna tell me about that neutralizing magic?

I black-and-white my eyes to Fried, who is going to say something extraordinary about it.

"As far as I can tell."

If this happens, there's no secrets or anything. It would be quicker to explain it properly because it has fallen apart. Besides, I don't think it would be weird to be free.

"Do you mind if I tell around Alec, Will and Glenn?

"You can tell anyone who thinks Fried can talk about me... but if you can, I don't want you to mention Mr. Derris"

"Derris? About the witch?

"Yeah. She's the one who advised me that I should keep it a secret about neutralising magic."

If I told him that, Fried nodded after a little thought.

"Fine. The witch stabbed me with a nail, too. Even my father kept his mouth shut about meeting a witch. That's what they were originally there for, and let's get it right and delude them. He just said the witch, too, but I might take it from him because my father seems to have an intimacy with a knot witch. If they ask, do you mind if I answer then?

"Yeah. That's fine. Thanks."

I didn't want to spread the word about Mr. Derris on my own, so I was relieved to hear you say so. An exception would be fine for the king. He's like someone who was originally close to a witch.

As for me at heart... okay. Neutralizing magic is like anything I've ever forgotten. Mr. Derris advised me not to say anything else, but this is force majeure. It won't be particularly problematic for what is known in the body.

"I'll let you hear more about neutralizing magic later when I get home. Shall we go home to the castle now anyway? Look, the guards are rushing too."

Following his gaze, he saw several soldiers running this way in security uniforms.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Are you safe?!?"

Is it the captain of the guard who speaks like he is in a hurry? Only one wears a hat of different colors and runs at the head of the squad.

"... don't come a little too late even if the locals only know how to use the road..."

"Didn't I tell you we don't have full-time security today?

Ask him, frowning, if he has no choice. But Fried didn't seem like he was going to condone it.

"Still, the security system was supposed to be laid. We'll have to find out later."

I gave him information that I thought would probably be certain, dissatisfied that it would have been different if he had come a little earlier.

"Maybe if you wanted to come, you couldn't come, could you? Because Mr. Derris should have been messing with the guards. Isn't that why you took the trouble to find it?

I've heard stories about doing that.

This time it just went out the back. All I can say is that it wasn't a good time. Because they found this one before the guards found us.

"... is that why Alec used to say he'd lose sight of Liddy in the city"

"Keep it a secret from your brother, okay?

"I know. Because I promised. I'm not talking about witches."

I'll wait for him and the guards to arrive saying it's okay because I know why.

I was up late at night, but I can tell as many bodies as I want rolling around. Seeing traces of intense fighting, the captain of the guard changed his complexion slightly.

We all knelt on the spot and drowned our heads.

"Sorry! This time late. I can't really open my name..."

"I'll hear that later. Now I want to take her home as soon as possible. I'll take care of this, okay?

"Ha! That's for sure"

"One assassin-like who uses a knife is on the run. It may be useless, but let's get out of here. Don't forget to send a few members from the Magic Division to find out if there are any traces of magic."

"I understand!

Hear the interaction between Fried and the guards without asking while he can hold them.

Suddenly drowsiness struck me how tired I was. As I rowed the boat with relaxation, Fried gently called out to me that I could sleep.

"Yeah......"

Sweet for the word, close your eyes trying to leave yourself to a sea of comfortable sleep.

But when I tried to close my eyes, something appeared on the edge of my vision.

That bothered me so much that I cursorily raised my heavier lid.

"Hmm...?

Follow only your gaze where you were concerned.

A little further away. There was a figure of one young man in the shadow of a private house, in a secluded and discreet corner.

"Huh..."

I can't believe what I see and get myself up out of Fried's arms.

The drowsiness was blowing away at last. Fried looks surprised that I made the move.

"Liddy?"

……

I can't even afford to answer that. I stare at that figure as if it were edible.

Dark-haired, tall skinny young man. Probably wearing glasses. I can't even see my face from here. But similar. It's horrible - to him.

"Huh!"

Just for a moment. I saw this one. I felt like I had eyes for him. Without paying attention to my breathing, he turns himself over lightly. When I returned it, there was no one there anymore.

"Liddy? What's up, Liddy?"

"Anything... nothing"

I shake my head flashly at Fried's words.

What's that? Is that a mistake? No, it's too much for a mistake...

But it can't be.

It can't be him. That can't be happening.

Because he's...

"Liddy? Something's wrong, huh?

In response to an inquiry from Fried for the third time, now it is time for me to answer.

"... I was just surprised to find someone a little similar to someone I know"

That's right. It can't be him.

The face itself could not be seen well, or it could just be a conjecture.

The likeness of others is a common story.

On second thought, I also feel like I was a little older than him.

... Must be someone else.

I concluded a little forcefully and still exhaled.

"Yes, I do."

Because it wasn't a lie, or because it wasn't pursued further from him.

I ended up leaving the guards on the spot, and Fried and I were supposed to go home to the castle one foot away...

I was shocked in many ways, and as soon as I got back to my room, I had a fever and I fell.

I woke up surprised to hear that, three days later in the morning.
