Before the fifth face-to-face meeting began.
I decided to have an important conversation with Linda, Anne, and Rosana.
About my patron, of course.
The three gathered together with a magical face.
"You're finally here."
Linda said on behalf of the three opinions.
"Thank you for coming together at a time like this. I really wanted to settle for myself."
"Leon-kun's own...... settled?
Ann looks strange.
"In order for me to move forward, I had to settle on my feelings. I just didn't realize that, but I think I went far."
I wasn't ready. I have finally realized that when I became aware of it.
"I wonder. In Leon's case, you thought it was different from all the other college students."
Mr. Rosana, sharp.
I've been thinking seriously about my feelings lately.
"I didn't think seriously about the patrons who support us dragon jockeys in the day. I wasn't ready. I don't think he was in the mood to take this dragon print."
I always thought it was other HR.
A distant event, like what I've heard from someone I know. That's how I was thinking.
If you decide one day, it doesn't have to be now.
You can think about it later... that's how I've been avoiding it.
From now on, I'm going to face my own heart. directly from the front without running away.
"Why wasn't I meant for patrons? I'm going to tell you about it now............... I don't have romantic feelings for Linda, Ann or Rosana. I've never felt that way in my childhood."
"Leon..."
"I wonder if that means I'm not interested in women."
"No, Mr. Rosana. That's not what I meant. I think I'm indifferent to the opposite sex. I guess it's because there was something else I could be obsessed with."
"Oh......"
"I see."
Looks like you two convinced yourself with that.
It would have been thought of as a bakery, but there are other [shadow] jobs.
I think I ended up losing my curiosity about women because it was so exciting about this table and the work behind it.
"I knew it. That's why I didn't expect that."
"Yeah. Linda did from start to finish, didn't she?"
Linda has been treating me thoroughly for the past year, eliminating romantic elements.
He told me only about the benefits of becoming a patron.
"So Leon will always be, can't you make love?
"I don't know. I honestly feel like I've never thought about it before. But that's not always the case."
"That's right."
Ms. Ann glanced at the bottom of her heart.
"It's embarrassing, but I've come this far in such a state. I finally knew how I felt when I knew I had to choose a patron."
If this were Her Majesty's directive, "Too late!" I'm about to be pissed off.
"That's what happened. Convinced."
"Senior Ann...... were you aware?
"Yeah... before, just a little bit. Because they used to carry it like grain."
Ann's cheeks, smiling modestly toward Linda, were slightly drawn.
"Like grain...... I wonder what kind of situation did that happen"
"I was going to be late for the carriage, so I had no choice, Mr. Rosana. No other intention."
I don't think I had a choice about that.
If you miss the carriage, you'll waste your day.
"I don't know how to like people... they call this romantic insensitivity"
"I've heard that before."
"That's how you say it."
"That's why I honestly don't know what to do with a lifetime partner patron."
The rules have changed since this year and only one person is to be chosen.
Are you prepared to spend your life with me? [M]
Do you choose to feel this way? I got anxious as to whether I deserved that.
I still don't have the emotion to think I'm this guy. [M]
That's why I said this.
"After the last face-to-face meeting, I had someone..."
"Leon."
"Trying to decide... yes?
Suddenly, Anne blocked my words.
My face is serious. All in all, I stared.
"I will resign."
"... Yes?
Decline? You mean they caught you loving me?
"I admire you, Leon. This is an honest feeling."
"Oh, thank you"
"Apart from the thoughts and political considerations of my family, that is how I wish to accompany Leon. My family is now... No, sorry. I'll get back to it. Leon told me... no, I know very well that you don't have romantic feelings for us. Still, that's why I'd like to choose the path to accompany Leon."
"Uh..."
I don't know what that means.
"When I heard about Leon right now, I understood. The relationship between a dragon jockey and a patron is a cooperative relationship without romantic feelings."
"Right. I don't have romantic feelings, so I think I will."
"My thoughts are not on patrons. It's for Leon. So I... I am!
"Yes, sir"
"I will spend my life with Leon in my way. I will go that way!
………………
Ann's bomb statement.
Often, I hardened.
It was unexpectedly Mr. Rosana who broke the silence.
"What's the family name... Ann, what do you mean?
I guess Rosana only hears that Anne is just an international student.
Then you wouldn't know what that means.
"Senior Anne's real name is Annelotta Lagos. Granddaughter of the chief of the clan of the rabbits."
Linda taught softly.
"A, Annelotta...... worked in the civil unrest ahead, a rose-driven infantry rider?
Ann nodded small to Rosana, who was going out of her mind.
With that said, did Anne have a rose badge on her fuselage?
"The other day I met with Her Majesty the Queen of Dragon Nation. On that seat, a number of covenants were made. Although I can't talk about the contents. And now I'm determined to listen to Leon. I will spend my whole life turning Leon around. Patron relationships can get in the way."
Mr. Ann's determination was real.
I'm incredibly serious. [M]
Ann is slightly jumping over something that I decided to worry about. [M]
As if there wasn't such a hurdle.
"Wow, I get it. I'm so happy with Ann's feelings. I still don't know how that feels right now. It's me. I won't forget what Ann said."
"Thank you, Leon. I have been waiting... no, I will not wait. I'll be right next door."
"... Yes"
No one feels anything when they show their determination so far.
I also promised to face Anne sincerely.
"If that's what you mean, so do I."
Now it's Mr. Rosana.
"I wanted you to hear this one day, but I'm saved by Leon."
"... Huh?
I don't remember saving it at all.
You must have never been imprisoned like Mr. Ann, or met me in [Shadow].
"After what I did last December, I was in a state of pardon from my parents. Mocking and ignoring in school. Wherever I went, it was more of a needle."
But Mr. Rosana was resolute.
"You were there a long time ago."
That's a little curious to say.
"That's all I could do back then. We have to look forward. My heart seemed to rip open all the time. I wet my pillow every night with loneliness and misery. The more I thought about my parents' house, about the residents of town, the more tears came to me. While I was being discreet, I was forbidden to contact college students... but even if I wasn't, the result would have been the same, but I asked myself thousands of times if it made sense for me to be in school."
I didn't know.
I can't believe Rosana, who was always floating (hiccup), had such a grip.
"It was Leon who saved it. Only Leon didn't change his attitude when he met me. Even though you didn't know about last year's ugliness, that stuff will be in your ear soon. It's normal to distance yourself from me when you hear that, isn't it? But it wasn't. I was happy there."
"Were you?"
You didn't change your attitude towards Mr. Rosana because I wasn't really looking for a patron.
"You were a glimmer of light, you gave me lost in the fog in the dark. I finally got to look around with it, and I could afford it in my heart. If it had stayed that way, it would have crumbled before a long break. That's all I owe Leon. So I thought I'd have to give it back."
Rosana said she immediately noticed my attitude of not being aggressive in looking for patrons.
So she stayed by my side without taking an aggressive approach, too.
"I'm already alienated from my parents. But I was going to do whatever Leon wanted. Patron selection should be cautious, but in Leon's case, it's too cautious. I couldn't decide what to worry about. That's why I've been around the whole time. Unobtrusive, but in a position to be immediately relied upon."
He was surprised to learn that I had no romantic feelings today.
And when I heard what Ann said, I realized. I see.
"If you graduate, you'll lose touch with your parents. I study more and become a scholar. And give it visibility and come out. I'd like to help Leon from the outside by being someone so vocal that no one can ignore him."
Mr. Rosana is also very determined.
"That's good. Senior Ann can take a political approach, and if Senior Rosana can take an approach from an intellectual standpoint, I don't think there's anything to be afraid of."
To Ms. Rosana's readiness, Linda indicated her consent.
"What about Linda?
"Me? I can assist from a commercial standpoint. With your martial arts in politics, knowledge and commerce, you will be the strongest."
"Again on my own..."
"Right. Good hands, I think."
"Mr. Ann......?
"So the patrons are up to me."
"Oh, hey, Linda"
Isn't it up to me to decide? And then after the last face-to-face meeting, I thought I'd decide.
"It's okay. I already know you don't have romantic feelings. It would be best if I sat in a patron's chair, scattered."
"Mr. Linda, have you ever been flabbergasted?
"Yeah, I haven't been a childhood friend to Dada. So I'll be a patron and support. No romantic feelings, of course. Let's go with the business lyke. So what do you say, seniors?"
Ann and Rosana nodded.
What's my point?
"So it's settled, shall we take an oath?"
When Linda got her hands on it, Mr. Ann clapped over it. Then Mr. Rosana too.
"Look, you get your hands on it, too"
"Eh."
He grabs my wrist and makes me lay it over the palms of the three of them.
"Now we are a community of destiny already. Help Leon along with!
"Yes!
"Greetings!"
"Erm..."
Forget me for not catching up with my understanding, the four destiny communities have been decided.
"But, Mr. Linda,"
"I don't know, Senior Rosana"
"Is that okay with you? You can't have a sweet relationship when you're a patron."
"Right. But that's what I knew. I've liked Leon since I was a little girl, and I can't help but like him... but it doesn't resonate with his heart."
"If so..."
"Even if Leon's heart doesn't turn to me, I will continue to like Leon. Because it's my freedom."
That was the best smile I've ever seen, Linda.
