When Zelie questioned me, I thought of her (...).

If I was asked whether there was any favor from the beginning, it would not happen.

I think she was attracted little by little in a series of uproar that began with this strange... mine collapse incident of mine.

But if Zelie hadn't told you, you wouldn't be aware of this feeling.

Although it was annoying, it might be because of Zelie.

Otherwise, my relationship with her... I would have lived to avoid breaking my current comfortable relationship.

When I knocked on the room, she was indeed in the room.

There were not only her in the room, but many others —— not only the Knights of the Guard, but also the clerks brought here from the kingdom of Kulvahn.

"... Oh, Rage. What's the matter?"

Lady Eva, holding documents in her left and right hands, looked at me and bowed her head.

When I saw the figure, I felt a lot of thoughts in my heart. [M]

When I first met her, I could only describe her by the word "child".

Nowadays, they are arguing with each other against adult civil servants.

If I was the one who inspired your daughter to do this, I used to think it was a proud thing--

However, the young lady has grown far beyond my imagination.

(--If you're inadvertent, I won't be able to grow up.)

To the extent that I can remember such a fear.

"Miss, I need to talk to you for a minute."

"Right now? Right... it's time to leave, so there are a lot of projects that I have to clear up."

"If so, even more so."

If we're going to get separated, we need to talk right now.

…………

The lady stared me in the face. [M]

To the beauty of its finishing touches.

But —— I know, her beauty isn't what she looks like, it's what's inside her.

It might be better to say "elegance" like that.

"I understand." --Ladies and gentlemen, please continue with the process. Raige, stay here. "

I went out from my room to the balcony with my daughter. [M]

This third-floor room overlooks a large garden and the capital's townscape.

It is sunny and warm today, but the wind feels cold.

But it was pleasant to me. [M]

Thinking about what I'm going to tell you, my temperature has been rising ever since. [M]

"So, what's the matter?" Was there a problem? "

The lady who talks suddenly to the Countess in front of everyone is the one who talks on the board, but when she's just with me, she breaks her words like this.

I was glad of that.

"Um... young lady, you're going back to the Holy Kingdom already."

All of a sudden, without getting into the point, I chose the way to go. [M]

“Yes, my dad was abducted by the Home Secretary, and now he's a killer.”

"Count Siles?"

I've deliberately avoided the position I've been in until now, but I can't seem to say that.

But won't the Count do it lightly?

"Even Raige. That's what everyone expects, so my dad works too hard." That's why I'm doing my job as much as possible. At last, your father has come to rely on me to come home early. "

"I-I see..."

"... so, it looked serious for Rage, but what happened?" You don't want to talk about your father, do you? "

Yes.

"Maybe you care about your people?" You... didn't choose to be a hero, did you? You really think your people might have wanted to be heroes? "

"That's..."

There was certainly a confusion in my mind. [M]

I was wondering if my will should be given the highest priority until it concerns everyone's future. [M]

"Raige... your companion is a virtue, but don't get caught up in it."

"Are you trapped...?"

“Yes, I suppose your people have decided to respect your decision? Then it's up to you. Nevertheless, it would be disrespectful to your companions if you were troubled."

…………

I look closely at it. The lady is really watching me.

You're more concerned about what I care about than I am, and you say, "It's okay."

It was so warm that my chest was dull. [M]

"... you've been blessed with a good companion."

"... yes"

"Then I can return to the kingdom with peace of mind."

The sun is pouring down on the lady with her hands on the balcony railings.

Blonde hair flashes with light in the breeze.

With magic power, the demon's eyes, which empowered many people, were red and beautiful.

Now that the 13-year-old is young, I'm sure she'll have a lot of noble applications for marriage.

When you think of something like that,

(--No.)

I thought so. [M]

I thought I was the only one who knew how senseless, how stupid and brave the lady was without looking around.

At that time,

"I like you, young lady."

What I thought came out of my mouth.

"I chose the path of an adventurer." And the lady is an aristocrat. I know there's no problem there. But my feelings don't change. "

The young lady looked at me with her eyes wide open.

"Do you remember... the promise I made to get you out to show the world?" It doesn't matter when it happens. I'll be waiting for you...... "

I stood next to the lady. [M]

"In this world, I want to live with you"

I don't have any poetic phrases or sweet whispers.

Still, I wanted to be honest with my thoughts.

Then--a single tear spilled out of your daughter's eyes.

"Ah!? Miss!?"

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

I changed from a feeling of exhilaration, and I felt a bloodbath.

I wonder what my words made the lady sad. [M]

While I couldn't do anything, the young lady wiped her eyes with her index finger.

"--I 'm so happy."

with the word.

"I'm so happy...?"

"... yes, I knew Rage would choose freedom as an adventurer, not status or honor." Because instead of being protected by the House of Siles, you chose to go out of the country. "

"Ah..."

Well, the lady knew that this time I would choose to be "free" again.

I thought it was about "keeping your distance" from your daughter.

"Different positions don't change the way you feel about your daughter."

"...... you can now snatch those lines out of your mouth."

"Ugh, I-I 'm also trying my best to talk."

With an unfamiliar line on parade, my capacity is full of things.

"Four years..."

Huh?

"Four years, I want you to wait." That way, I will be 17 years old, and I will be recognized as a one-person lady in the noble society of the Holy Kingdom. I do announce marriages around my 17th birthday, but when I'm 17, I can decide my own future. ”

"Um... is that what you mean?"

The lady —— unusual for an elegant lady, she fell down with a reddened face.

"Oh no! Raige is dull! When I turn 17, I can choose who I want to marry." I didn't have to be an aristocrat... for example, an adventurer. "

…………

Does this mean that the Lady accepted me?

Would I be happy? [M]

"... My Lady"

What, what?

Can I hug you?

"Oops!? Don't be ridiculous! Four years from now!"

The bright red and angry lady was so cute.

"I don't think I can stand it."

"I've been waiting for you to sleep for a year."

"Ugh"

When I was told to do that, I was shy.

The weight will be completely different between the days when you wait without knowing what the future will be, and the days when you know the deadline when you can wait four years.

"... but I'm sorry to keep you for four years, so I'll just give you one permission." Fu, you can call me "Eva" when you're alone. "

It seems that the young lady can do her best now.

It was kind of smiling,

"What are you laughing at, Rage?!"

I got dizzy unexpectedly.

"No... ah, no. Uhm, uhm... Eva (...)"



Thank you for your continued support.

Lady —— Eva's spine stretched.

Then she loosened her mouth and laughed.

Yeah!

Such a smile on her face, such a happy smile had never been seen before.

Raised in a swirling aristocratic society as the only daughter of Count Siles, she was rude or naive, but perhaps she had never lifted her guard like this and smiled like she entrusted everything to her opponent.

And I was glad that the smile was directed at me like no other.

Happily, I realized that I had to protect Eva.

Both Eva and I were staring at each other, naturally reaching out and holding hands.

Feeling Eva's warm and soft hands, nature and my expression were loose, and I must have looked the same as Eva.

That's probably why.

"--Gohon"

I didn't notice the person approaching.

"You've woken up from a year of sleep, and you're getting too close to your daughter, aren't you, Mr. Rage?"

I couldn't have been here —— there was an expressionless but still angry Count Siles there.

"Huh, Count!?"

"Oh, Father!?"

And then Eva and I noticed that behind the Count, beyond the windowpane, there was a group of people watching us from the inside.

Mimino-san put his thumbs up, and Dante-san looked up at the sky and wiped his eyes... I wonder if that's how it is!?

Zelie, who was beside her, was there, so she could tell that Zelie was telling everyone about it. I'll strangle you later.

Eva's men and guards had a blue face to an unexpected customer called the Count, and Captain Maxim was twitching with an unsure face.

And--Arsha and Lark were there.

Arsha smiled a little lonely, and Lark laughed when her eyes met mine.

"... Mr. Rage, I apologize for being so innocent, but the Holy Kingdom is very busy right now, so come back another day." —— Eva, it's time to get to the limit. "

"I know, Father."

Eva had already returned to her daughter's face.

As the Count returned to the room, Ava glanced at me.

"... I was really planning to be back many days ago, but I was putting it off until today." But... I'm glad I waited. "

I dazzle her with a fluffy smile. [M]

”I'm... leaving already.”

"Yeah, but you'll be here soon, won't you? Because you--"

Freedom is an adventurer of the creed.

That said, Eva returned to the room.

My heart is beating faster. [M]

This thrill was a little different from the feeling I had felt before.

The deepest part of my chest became tingly hot, and it was such a thrill to look forward to the future that would come.
