Going near the transfer gate, he discovered his father giving instructions to his men in front of him.

I don't have a brother on my side, because this time my brother is going to war too.

When my father noticed this one, he came in a hurry.

I have no eyes, I bow my head toward the king.

"Your Majesty"

"Lucas, did you get any information from Sahaja? Any reason for your sudden retreat?

"That's not yet. This is the first time this has happened and we are all confused. But I was just wondering if it was time to know how to move."

The king nodded as he looked sinister in his father's answer.

"Right. Be prepared to deal with whatever happens."

"Okay. Tell your son too."

"Speaking of which, you were in the military this time. It's better than nothing."

"Thank you. It's not my first time, so I didn't even tell you that, but I'm still relieved to be able to come back safely."

"Uhm."

I look out at the transfer gate as I hear my fathers talking.

Overwhelming presence. Looking blurry, the transfer gate immediately began to shine white.

Huge sorcery formations appear. After a blinking glow, the army appeared.

This is the second time I've seen this, but it's still spectacular to see more than thousands of soldiers suddenly appear.

At the front of the army, there was a Fried figure on a white horse, and I accidentally raised my voice and waved.

"Freed!

Fried in his black military uniform turned to me as soon as he noticed my voice. Its mouth can be loosened with joy.

"Liddy."

The black cloak is twitchy.

A sweet smile struck me brilliantly in the chest.

- Ha-ha, Fried looks good.

Still looking too good. Nothing but a fried black military uniform on a white horse or eye bliss.

I originally loved Fried's outfit.

If I can now adore any of his looks, throw down such a big favorite, my heart will pulse unbroken, and I will likely fall over adoring him too much.

Fetish is horrible. Long live the uniform.

I rushed over to Fried, filling my head with unexplained thoughts such as happy, happy, falling, dying, etc.

"Liddy, I'm home."

"Welcome home."

Fried, down from the horse, welcomed me in with his hands wide open.

I'm glad you didn't stay away for so long, but still came home safe like this.

As he chewed on happiness, Fried held me up beside him.

"Huh!? Fried?

"Hehe. That's cute, Liddy. Did you miss me?

"... yeah"

Fried asked me, and I nodded honestly.

Match your forehead properly and tell them to sue you.

"I was worried, I missed you, I missed you early. So glad you're home early."

"Liddy. I missed Liddy too. I'm sorry I slept alone. I'm so glad they put one on by the end of the day."

"Freed......"

"Liddy, I love you. I came back in a hurry, as promised."

"Yeah, yeah. I've been waiting. Are you hurt?

Above all, when asked concerned about it, Fried denied it with a thick, narrow eye.

"There's no way I'd do anything to worry about Liddy, is there? I'm not hurt. So Liddy keeps his word, too? Will you reward me for what I've done?

Even my soul is going to be entangled in my sweet gaze. I nodded cocklessly as I thought so.

"Yeah. Fine, I'll give you"

"Glad"

Talk to each other in such a small voice that they can only hear each other.

I tried to overlap my lips naturally as it was, and I had a really deliberate cough.

"... uh, stupid couple there. Please, just do it in your room."

"... eh"

The movement stops on a line like I heard somewhere.

Turning his gaze in the direction in which his voice spoke, there was a figure of a brother with a very troublesome face there.

I think and say to my brother, who is desperate, for now.

"... brother. Welcome home."

"Ooh, Liddy. You look fine instead of falling off the ceiling. Above all. But please, don't mess with me in front of such a public. Annoying."

"Hey? Something's catching my end of the word."

"Oh? It's your fault."

Mostly ceilings, ceilings, ceilings? Fried said he was staring at his brother that it was out of his mind to be told that he didn't even want to fall because he didn't want to.

"Alec... I'd like you not to water me for a reunion with my dear lover. Very unpleasant."

"I don't mean it, either. But it's not something you can show off."

My brother complaining about Freed and Freed answering it as he frowned.

I left the conversation to the two of us and looked around while Fried held me up. And then they do... they're looking at me so fucked up.

- Wow, embarrassing.

My consciousness instantly nailed to a conversation that I didn't reflexively get smaller, but I overheard by chance from the soldiers.

"- Hey, Your Highness from the battle of Sahaja earlier, you looked amazing."

"Oh, it feels like a new explosion. The flame attack looks good, but so did the ice attack."

"It was worth going even if they just saw me. Truth is, Your Highness has been in excellent shape lately."

"The front line of the enemy was frozen in an instant. Your Highness is doing well, because she's doing well with the Queen. What is it? Enriched by both public and private...... Fine."

"I still want you to pick me up. I'm a lover. Oh, my family... maybe not yet"

"I don't have a choice. No one thought I'd be home so soon."

"You'll be surprised when you get home."

"Sure, it sounds like a little fun to see a surprise face."

"I know."

It was a conversation between the light soldiers, but there was something I couldn't miss hearing.

That's the descent that Fried showed off his new moves to his enemy opponents.

- And, uh, wow, wow, wow, wow?

And using ice magic?

The moment I heard it, I got a little paranoid.

"... Shit, you look too good"

The fried in my imagination looked awesome. But maybe the real thing should be nicer.

Because a fried in a black military uniform unleashes magic using a golden sword from the top of a white horse. It's about ice magic, so there must have been ice debris or something.

Look, whatever you think, all I can think of is a well-dressed picture. But in my poor imagination there was a limit.

Of course I know it's war, but I can't help but envy the soldiers who were able to see Fried's great new moves and doings.

"Liddy, Liddy?

Fried called me, but I didn't realize I was obsessed with listening to the soldiers.

I get puffy cheeks.

"Come on... Fried, what are you doing?"

The pain gave me back, and I glanced at Fried. But on the contrary, Fried is more irritating.

"You can't look at it like that. Liddy needs to see me alone. What the hell were you doing?

"F... I heard Fried made a new move... so..."

"New moves?

"Ko, of ice..."

Explaining as he listened, Fried nodded as if he was good at it.

"Oh... what. So you were listening?

"Ugh, yeah. 'Cause if it's a good story about Fried, I want to hear it."

Hearing my appeal, Fried, who has fixed his mood, tells me to peek into my face.

"I'm glad Liddy's obsessed with me, though, right? You want Liddy to see me now, not a rumor?

"Mi, I'm looking. Apart from this... because I'm telling you that Fried showed off his new moves in that outfit... it's weirder not to worry about that."

Natural reason for me.

I insisted forcefully, but Fried looked somewhere frightened.

"Yeah... don't think Liddy's the only one who definitely thinks that. But really, Liddy likes this outfit."

"... what I prefer. You don't have a choice."

I can't give up just because I'm stunned.

I grabbed Fried's top and told him so, and he held me back and stroked my head.

Simple makes me happy with that alone.

"Huh... Huh"

Giving his head away from himself, Fried hugged me just saying he couldn't stand it.

"Ahhh. Liddy, she's so cute. Hey, Alec's loud, and it's time to go to your room. I want to be alone soon."

Whispered with a seeping voice of color, I gently shook my neck vertically, even as I turned bright red with anticipation.

"Ugh, yeah. I want to do the same."

"- So, Father. May the celebration or post-war processing be after tomorrow? Can I just let you and Liddy back down like this?

"I don't mind. I thought it would be anyway. You're my son. I know how you feel."

"Thank you"

I didn't realize, but at some point the king was coming this way. My mother-in-law is next door, too, smiling like trouble.

"Friedrich. I know you're happy, but you can't force Liddy to, can you?

"... Mother. I know."

There was a subtle time, but Fried nodded.

With both of them acknowledging, Fried has returned his gaze to me and proclaimed it in a whisper.

"You're right to ask. Agreed. I have enough time until tomorrow. Liddy...... are you ready not to sleep tonight?

"Ready not to sleep......"

Yeah, I knew it was.

While wondering what my conversation with my mother-in-law was earlier, I blinked when I was told the course until morning.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't mind that because it's just as expected. But there was only one thing that bothered me.

To make sure, I asked Fried carefully.

"... okay, let me just ask you one thing. Are you gonna take that uniform off? I think that changes a lot."

Yeah, for example, how I'm getting laid, and so on.

"Huh?"

"Huh? 'Cause that's what you're saying, isn't it? No?"

It was a genuine question, but Fried, hearing my words, took a moment and laughed a lot at the next moment.

Why are you laughing?

"Yes, no, I'm sorry. Think of it like Liddy. Yeah, that's where I hear Liddy's hopes."

"Huh? Hope?... Er, what shall I do..."

Being thrilled, Fried laughed even more about what was wrong.

"Fried, laughing too hard"

"Sorry, sorry. Liddy is so cute... heh."

Staring, Fried finally stopped laughing.

And so he stares at me, and he says with a voice that he loves me so much that he can't stand it.

"Well, shall we go? Make me realize that Liddy's back in my arms tonight."

"- Yeah. Fine. Love it, Fried."

"Liddy. I just love Liddy, too. I don't need anything but Liddy."

There is strength in the arms that hold me. I also turned my arm around Fried's neck.

The gruesome and upbeat Fried did not take everyone's attention and left the scene behind with grandeur.
