Sanzen no Souru Supina
■ Fifth night: Maiden is a meteor
I let myself out of the banquet with drunkenness, and walked fluffily.
Ashley was not blamed for seeing the banquet hall surrounded by the high dance and the pleasant sound.
Maybe you'll notice around Athlei and Asuka, but I just wanted to be alone a little bit.
The heat of the fire and the sweat from the dance make the night breeze feel good.
"You survived."
There was lake water not so far from the dance venue and the transformed meadow, and a small flying boat was docked on its shore via a rush pier using barrels and the like.
Ashley walked along the lake, looking at the silhouette.
Various things happened temporarily and the confused head gradually caught up with reality and began to grasp the situation.
Ashley and the others survived the battle in the Heriatium.
Then he took off the battlefield like he had smashed the contents of a hellpot and fled to the sky garden.
I can't remember well what was going on along the way because I was hazy.
But that's all there is to it.
Anyway, Ashley was glad to have brought everyone here safely.
"Can I take a bath in this water?
Ashley was alone as he peered into the lake water, which seemed to be seeing through the moonlight.
If this is an aerial garden, it can be inferred that this lake water will probably have accumulated rainwater.
Izma, Norman, and Burton would definitely give me a clear answer, but now I'm coming out of that circle in search of silence.
It's ridiculous to come back here and ask about the cleanliness of the water.
And the fish shadow bounced somewhere in the lake water.
On the moonlight, the figure appeared, and there was a squeaking sound.
"If there's a creature, it'll be fine.Maybe. "
Ashley never took off his clothes and immersed himself in the lake.
Cold water feels good on a burning body.
Athlei, Asuka, and Love have taken great care of you during the week you were down.
Ashley didn't feel any dirt from sweat or excrement on her body.
But it still didn't satisfy my desire to soak my whole body in water and clean my body.
It is Ashley who has poured his heart into Agantilis' civilization, which is said to be the act of bathing.
I sweated just now and couldn't resist my desires.
I want to wash away the smell smoked by the fire all over my body, the soot stuck to my sweat, and the dirt that was rolled onto the ground by Love.
While carefully washing every corner of his body with his hands, Ashley checks his own body.
The wounds that were supposed to occur in the whole body were already healing, thanks to the increased healing ability due to the sharing of heart with Theon.
After a week of falling, I don't have the impression that my body is extremely dull.
I don't know if I'm going to do some actual training, but I'll still be okay with that tomorrow.
When I finished loosening my body, Ashley tried to swim lightly.
I see, this feels good.
The outdoors and the sense of liberation at night that no one had to worry about made Ashley bold.
Swimming, a systemic exercise, is also good for finding physical malaise.
"Does your right arm hurt a little?Ah, I also received the light strips of the true knights... and the blades of Gallucin.If that's the case, it's a miracle.My back is twitching... oh, this is about to heal. "
Ashley, who had finished swimming with a bitter smile at the painful flesh everywhere, lay on her back and floated on the water.
Apparently this lake water is not as salty as the sea, but it seems to contain salt.
That's why it's easier to swim than fresh water.
"But damn it, this is it.He'll get sticky later. "
I was supposed to remove the dirt, but I didn't know it was salt water, so I got into trouble twice.
It was at the same time that Ashley smiled bitterly and found a big bird shadow above her head.
Moreover, the bird is made of light with wings.
"What is that?!
It wasn't long before Ashley was surprised.
It wasn't a bird.
It's not bats.
It was human.
A truly knight maiden.
More importantly, it must have been Love Thracis Sigurun.
It's... suddenly descending!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Ashley opened her arms and tried to catch the falling rave.
At the moment, your eyes meet yours.
The next moment, the true knight's maiden descended with a splash in Ashley's arm.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ashley protested against the sudden fall of a true knight maiden.
Even though it is small, the lake surface is wide enough to be able to operate a flying boat at leisure.
Compared to its size, it falls directly above Ashley, which is nothing but a dot. If you don't aim for it, it's impossible.
There was no doubt that this action of Love was deliberate.
"Hey, why don't you say something?Suddenly it fell off by surprise, what a horrible thing. "
Love was silent in response to Ashley's call.
With that stubbornness, Ashley gradually became more worried than angry.
"Great job, Love.Did it hurt somewhere? Maybe. "
In Ashley's words, Love lied more and more, and then said.
"Pain."
Ashley was surprised.
He leaned over to Rave in a hurry to observe his whole body.
"Doesn't it hurt? You're hurt."
Rave shook away Ashley, who hurried to take his hand.
It hurts where I can't see it.
"I can't show you... what does that mean?"
Again, I didn't understand the meaning, and Ashley was stunned.
In the presence of the ashlet, the true knight's maiden shivered her luxurious body.
"My chest hurts.Deep inside my chest. "
"Love?"
"I told you.They stopped me. "
In the words of a true knight holding his chest, Ashley realized that the pain in Love's mouth was not due to a physical wound.
And that was what Ashley wanted to hear.
"I wanted to ask that, too.What do you mean, what do you mean?The meaning of the words you gave yourself to me..... "
There was no answer.
But the silence had meaning.
Because Love's dress, wet in the lake, was sticky, transparent, and revealed.
Answer me.
The contractual seal that comes to mind.
Ashley knew the crest.
"It's... the contract of the War Maiden (Valkyries Pact)... slightly different from Asuka's, but... definitely."
What is this ─ ─ ─ Ashley talked.
Unexpectedly grabbed Rave's shoulders.
The white shoulders of the true knight maiden bounced.
I didn't feel the will to shake it off.
Instead, Love was, by the way, hot.
She was hot, trembling, and scared.
"Give me a break. Earlier, I said it had nothing to do with thinking or being thought about.But I can't.Relax, Black Knight, you, Ashley Dow.I made a connection while you were unconscious.But it was to help you.Just like you did, it was my turn to stand up.I thought that was all, and I thought, and I thought, I gave myself up ─ ─ that's what I meant. "
But I cried.
"I can't help thinking about it.I can't help thinking about you.I will take you ─ ─ "
I love you.
Ashley, holding the sloping rave, heard it in her ear.
Ashley can no longer let go of the body of the embraced Love.
