Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Currier was lying on his sleeping table.

Cecily and the others left the room a long time ago.

Because it was time for the mixed bath I had booked.

But Currier decided to let him rest in the room, saying he wasn't feeling well.

Mind you, Cecily cut out the crystal light and left, so it's dark indoors.

The light source is about the moonlight plugging through the window of the room.

I explained it was because I wasn't feeling well, but I didn't actually have any problems with my health.

What's not great is that

"How do you feel?"

After being so lonely, I had zero natural laughter.

Must have been a masochistic grin, Currier thought.

I didn't go to the hot tub until I lied, because I somehow had trouble face-to-face with Crohiko.

Even so, Crohiko wouldn't think it would be difficult to face each other, etc.

I just find it hard to fit in unilaterally.

"I wonder what you're doing, I am"

My silver hair spread unconstructively on the bedding cloth.

Currier pinches his hair tip with his fingers and begins to twist.

Then the thought, which was gradually sparse, converges into one matter and two figures.

The hand stops perfectly at the tip of the hair.

Signs of people.

Then the sound of unlocking.

"I'm home."

Ira's voice.

Apparently, he's back from the mixed bath.

You'll think about Currier, the voice was understated.

Change your posture slightly to see how things are going.

Ray and Hilgis showed up following Ira.

From the atmosphere, it seemed like a good time.

Above all.

However, even if I waited, Cecily never appeared.

Currier slowly woke up his upper body as he grabbed a thin duvet.

"Ah, Currier. Condition... are you okay?

Ira called out with a heartfelt face.

Currier replied, remembering his backwardness for lying that he was ill.

"Mm-hmm. Looks fine now. I'm not used to places like this, so I guess I'm just a little tired"

"Oh, you know..."

"That, Ira"

The two words overlapped almost simultaneously.

"Huh? Yeah, what?

It seemed like Ira was about to say something too, but she gives way to Currier.

Currier put his question first, even though he thought it was bad.

"... what happened to Cecily?

Was Cecily the only one left with Crohiko?

Because... I should still be asleep quietly.

Yes, when Currier thought,

"So now I'm going to ask Currier, too."

So, what does that mean?

Ira looked back towards Hilgis.

And, Hilgis leaves a step forward.

"He called me to tell me something important... a man named Lokia took Master Cecily"

Pickling, Currier frowned.

"What?"

Ira and the others look at each other with confusion on their faces.

Then Ira turns back to Currier.

"Lokia, I'm sure Currier said, was an undelivered person who was snooping, right? But... I am like a relative to Currier, and I was just bowled in man water, so I was explained that I must have been turned into a peeping demon on my own by that stomach..."

…………

Unfortunately, I'm just not wrong, but I denied it if it was hard.

"Well, so what? If the man says he has something important to say about Currier... Cecily says she just wants to ask."

Why is Lokia in Cecily?

Currier remembered a strange heartbeat.

Ask, taking care not to blame it.

"Nobody, didn't they stop?

Then Hilgis cut out, bewildered, actually.

"As a matter of fact, I was in the hallway earlier, and I had a little rubbing... and I was with Crohiko then. So, after a while, the guy named Lokia intervened and put up a rub for me. Besides... Krohiko said she knew him herself, so I thought you'd be okay. But now, maybe I should have stopped it. Sorry, Currier."

When Hilgis apologized, Ray cracked in like he was giving out a help boat.

"But right? Most importantly, Cecily herself said she wanted to hear about the man, and she didn't give in. I was worried, so at first I said we were going to follow you... but as for Cecily, I don't think it was something we wanted to hear. They said they wanted to talk one-on-one. Before I put it that way, I think I had something in my ear..."

Both Ray and Hilgis seemed to remember some responsibility.

"Yes, should we go look for him now?

I asked everyone how Ira was in a hurry.

"I'll go find it"

"Kyu, Currier?

As Currier slipped out of the futon, he quickly arranged the messy accommodation.

Then sew between the Ira's and head to the door.

"I want the Iras to wait here because Cecily might come back with a misrub. That man is, in a way... a dangerous man. So I'll do something about it"

Leaving it at that, Currier opened the door with momentum and jumped out of the room.

"That bastard..."

Currier ran out the hallway as he tongued hatefully thinking of Lokia's face.

The building is huge.

But Cecily looks like that.

Anyway, it stands out.

Then there must be a lot of witnesses.

First, I'll ask him if he didn't see someone like Cecily in a place with as many people as possible.

As expected, there were many witnesses.

I may have been fortunate enough to try and lovingly talk to you, most of whom gave me information pleasantly.

I was called out by some aristocratic-style men who seemed used to playing along the way, but ignored you there.

Currier relied on the sightings to find Cecily.

And finally, in a place situated on the edge of the building, I discovered Cecily's hindsight leaning against the railing by herself looking at the landscape.

Cecily stood in a terrace-like space outside the building.

I don't see what Lokia looks like...

Open the glass embedded drawer and go outside.

The smell of strong soil and grass in the wind reached my nose.

"Cecily."

When I called, Cecily turned around.

"Currier?"

Beyond the railings are growing trees.

From the gap between the trees, the lights of the King's capital stretched beneath his eyes.

There are wooden chairs and tables in the space, but now there's nobody but Cecily and myself.

I guess the only reason I don't care is because it's in the back of the building.

In fact, the number of people kept decreasing as we approached here.

And - what was Cecily and the invisible Lokia doing in such a place where one doesn't care?

Currier carefully checks the perimeter.

"What about Lokia?

"He would have gone back inside earlier. Didn't you see him?

"No..."

Currier looked back across the glass door.

Have you consciously avoided being in a bowl with yourself?

…………

Two, I kind of felt like I was being danced in Lokia's palm.

I don't feel very good.

"So, are you okay?

I don't know why Lokia came into contact with Cecily.

Finding Lokia's purpose is a prerequisite, rather than looking for her.

Cecily leaned against the railing as she elbowed.

There was the usual smile in that mouth.

"Apparently you weren't lying about Currier's old acquaintance. I mean, he's from the Sixth House, too?

"... oh"

After a slight hesitation Currier affirmed.

"I see. If there is one, maybe it seems like the Sixth House. He was a man with odd air, but I'm convinced he said it was the Sixth House. Unlike you."

"So... you were okay?

"Rest assured. Nothing in particular has been done. I think it was more of a gentleman's response for tone and rhetoric, right? He said he was afraid of Currier later when he did something bad."

"Yeah, right."

But I don't think Rokia came into contact with Cecily without any intention.

What the hell was the purpose?

So Currier remembers Ira's words.

Indeed, Ira had been in contact with Currier when she said she had something important to talk about.

"... the story about me, was it?

Cecily snorted.

"Exactly. I was talking about Currier. The conversation itself ended soon after."

Currier felt slightly uncomfortable with Cecily's attitude.

Yes, it's as if you have some anger within...

Has anything been blown into Lokia?

There was a breeze.

Cecily's hair swelled soft and tender.

Under the moonlight she floated away and looked.

Only the same boarding clothes that I wear connect her presence to reality painstakingly - it was like that.

Just beautiful.

Cecily lay down her eyelashes and stared at the wooden floor.

And after a slightly longer period of time, she opened her mouth more or less.

"A man named Lokia... told me that you were leaving this school when you got rid of someone named Noise"

Inexplicably Currier frowns.

What the hell are you going to tell Cecily about that?

"Why is that?

Cecily's questionable gaze was turned.

"Because... as I heard, the purpose of my coming to this school is to find noise. If it served its purpose, it would be natural to leave, wouldn't it?

"So what do you do with the hibigami thing? Three years later, he says, he will settle with the grown crohiko. You... aren't you responsible for watching Crohiko grow?

Is it because of Crohiko's name?

Currier's response was slightly delayed.

"... of course, even if the noise thing is cleared up, I'm going to put an archery on Krohiko until he's strong enough to approach me. He turned Hibigami's spearhead from us to himself. At the very least, we have to take responsibility."

Cecily kept her hips on the railing and loosely combined her arms.

And I was still waiting for Currier's next word with a face that speculated on something.

Currier dropped his gaze and continued.

"It's just... he's growing at an incredible rate. I guess that's the power of the curse, too. The growth rate is abnormal. And when it comes to what I can do, it's about the archery of the sword... because that's all I have."

Currier seeped his masochism and snorted.

"My point of view, it won't take him a year to catch up with me. That's why I don't need to be in school for three years. It will be used soon."

Cecily gazed at the floor.

"Used,"

It was a hard to read voice of emotion.

Currier smiles.

"It's okay. Even if I'm gone, he'll find a way to be stronger himself. He's also the school director. That competent schoolmaster would come up with a plan to be strong. Whatever's in your brother's twat, you might want to ask the Knights of the Holy Trees Sochutes to work out. That man is pretty strong."

Cecily still kept her face down.

My gaze is still stitched to the floor.

"So... support him, about him. You're the only one who can do that."

Currier noticed that Cecily had an unfloating look.

No - not quite there, even anger emotions are hidden.

Well, Currier thought.

Would you have said something about being disturbed?

"Cesi -"

"So why... are you leaving school?

The voice sounded blameworthy.

"That's why I told you earlier. Once I have fulfilled my purpose and responsibility..."

"Responsibility?"

Cecily loosely assembling her arm grabbed her left arm hard with her right hand.

"You just said responsibility, didn't you?

"Oh, oh."

Cecily looked quietly at Currier.

Currier felt something cold running on his spine.

Because the girl with the grin in front of her was wrapped in some unfamiliar, freezing cold air.

"Then..."

Cecily told him to stick with the ice smile on his face.

"How are you going to take the blame for making Sagara Crohiko fall in love?

It took a few seconds to figure out what the question was.

"... what, to?

I shake my head like Cecily was frightened.

"Again, were you unconscious"

"Wait, Cecily... you're not. The emotions he turns to me - that's respect. So to speak, it's like a disciple admires a master, isn't it? So, who are you?"

Fu and Currier noticed Cecily's shoulder was trembling.

It also looks as if it's dampening emotions that are going to explode somewhere.

"... I... didn't... don't..."

"What?

Ri.

Cecily bit her teeth.

"I knew you knew nothing."

"Ceci, Lee?

Cecily raised her face.

Then he stepped over and raised his jaw in front of Currier.

He had a hard look at his emotions.

Its clear, empty eyes look straight at Currier.

And the next moment...

A dry noise echoed the terrace on a quiet night.

Currier felt a slight delay spreading a tingling sensation on her cheek.

…………

I was avoided if I wanted to avoid it.

But I didn't intend to avoid it.

Currier loses his word when he looks at Cecily's face with his hands on her cheek with a fever.

Because there were so many tears in Cecily's eyes that she was about to fall apart.

That was a good enough look to make you lose your words.

"How far will you make me feel miserable?"

miserable feelings.

As soon as the word got into his ear, Currier felt a different emotion lit in him than before.

"... what a miserable feeling,"

After his mouth, Currier realized that his voice was mixed with frustration.

But that may not have been possible either.

Because.

Instead, I've been feeling miserable because I was on my own.

In the first place, I decided to leave this school.

"... I'm the one who's been miserable"

"What..."

"Mine, it's you!

Unexpectedly, he was absurd in his voice.

But the words that came out once with their mouths won't stop as if they had been decimated.

"I can't believe I'm better than you... about as good as a sword arm at best! But you have a lot of things I don't have!? If there were a hundred men, they'd all choose you! So..."

"So that's the difference"

Cecily's comatose voice quenched Currier's overflowing words.

Currier said to throw up because she couldn't wait.

"What's the difference..."

"Even if ninety-nine men choose me - I'm sure Sagara Crohiko will choose Currier Verstein"

Hurray, Currier looked up.

What you see in your eyes is Cecily distorting her mouth with remorse.

"He... for Sagara Crohiko, a human being named Currier Verstein is special. I'm not the only one. Compared to other human beings... the only emotion I have toward you is something else."

"So, that's respect -"

"From the beginning, it was a favor as a heterosexual!

Now Cecily roughed up her voice.

As if to suppress even emotions, Kiyu, and Cecily grabbed her right arm.

"... it must be hard to notice because Crohiko doesn't have that awareness"

Cecily's expression shades.

"Didn't I tell you, then?"

…………

At that time.

'That's when' Cecily just said would be after she was told by the school director in front of the library.

Currier remembered - "that time".

On school grounds.

There were three figures in front of the library illuminated by the sunset.

"-But right now, I like both of you so much that I can't compare them."

Leaving those words behind, Krohiko left.

Cecily, who watched as he turned away from his back,

"I like both of them so much that I can't compare them, when? hehe...... that could be quite a big guy, he"

I said it intriguingly.

"... then I'm with this"

I don't need you here anymore.

Currier turned back her heels in an attempt to return to the women's quarters.

Then,

"Hey, why don't we talk about it?

Cecily called out.

But...

There's nothing to talk to you about.

Currier thrust in an unsatisfactory manner.

"I think the first prerequisite to fulfilling his desire to get along with the three of us is for us to deepen our understanding of each other."

But Cecily didn't turn up.

On the contrary, there is not even any sign of that floating attitude breaking down.

"There's no reason for us to do what he wants."

Saying, maybe this guy's core is surprisingly strong, Currier thought.

"Above all, I was a little interested in you myself."

You're a woman with a really disgusting smile, I thought.

But that's why you hate it, I also feel.

"Besides, if you feel depressed about me, I think it would be better to keep your mouth shut at this point and avoid some extra clashes in the future."

She's a mouthless woman.

Currier looked in the direction Crohiko left, thinking for a moment.

And I breathed in a pushed down mood.

"Chip, that's good. I'll make some time for the selfish lady."

"Thank you very much."

Cecily leans her little neck with her hands together and a smile on her face.

…………

I thought it was a trick that would never suit me if I did it.

Then the two of us headed to the dining room.

A dining room with fallen sunset light.

One was sparse, but Cecily Arklight is still like a celebrity, with only a few students with tints whispering in some excitement.

"You're very popular."

"Right." Cecily Arklite is very popular. "

I wonder what you're talking about, Currier thought.

Even though the person sitting in front of you is Cecily Arklite's phony.

"Whatever that is, Verstein"

"Oh, my God, Archrite's daughter"

Cecily bends her mouth to dissatisfaction.

"How can you manage to call that 'daughter of Arklight'?

"I wouldn't be wrong"

"Cecily, and"

"Why not?"

"To get along."

"So why do we need to get along?

"So how did Currier get on my invitation?

"... it"

"We talked about the purpose of the invitation beforehand, didn't we? You're here because you're convinced of that. Different?

She was a woman of more character than I expected.

Maybe it's not just a boxed girl up to her ideals.

"Fine. Then let me call you Cecily. Well, it's hard to call her" Archrite's Daughter. "

"Then may I also call you Currier? Verstein, it's a long time."

"Be my guest."

Currier put his cheek cane on.

- What the hell, this situation?

"Now, Currier, let's get straight to the point."

"Oh, just get it done"

"You're compassionate with Sagara Crohiko, aren't you?

kum, and the elbow that was poking his cheek wand out of balance.

"Yes, suddenly what..."

Currier frowns.

"Are you out of your mind?

Cecily put her elbows on the table and jaws on top of her overlapping hands.

"Hmm, no consciousness," he said. But in a way, is there still room for me? "

Currier breathes in horror.

"If you want to have a conversation, talk to me so I can understand."

Cecily chuckled.

"I suggest you think a little more deeply about the sentiment of favor. I feel so different because I miss watching it even if I'm not myself."

"Hung, you're surprisingly sentimental."

"It's because I'm sentimental...... maybe I'm more sensitive to the feelings of others. I think so myself, it's a difficult personality."

"Really? Looks like I'm doing pretty well. Unlike the clumsy me, as long as I look so clever and envious."

"I'd rather envy you like that."

The smile Cecily floated at that time looked lonely somewhere.

"- That time, from?

Stupid, Currier thought.

Um, I've been...

Cecily's mouth, which had been pulled together until earlier, arcs.

However, those eyes were shaking somewhere.

"I knew I couldn't keep up with Crohiko's feelings for you. Still, at least... I wanted to get close. That's why I told Crohiko how I felt. But what Crohiko needs now is more than anyone else."

Cecily turned her back on Currier.

It was a kind of carelessness that the peeping side gave a glimpse.

"Unfortunately, it's you."

Cecily grips her fist in front of her chest.

"I agree with what a man named Lokia said. Sagara Krohiko is stopping by 'the Seeking Others' for much of the source of that power. And when the 'Seeking Others' are motivated, they exert many times more power than normal... but when their relationship with the 'Seeking Others' is severed, his mind could stop again..."

"Stupid. He's not such a weak man."

Say it, but Currier reconsidered.

No.

That's right.

Wasn't that what I was feeling somewhere too?

The relationship with Sagara Crohiko, which began with that tear the first time we met.

And I've seen Sagara Crohiko before, and somehow his' weakness' was felt.

Maybe... No, that's why I couldn't leave myself alone.

The same was true then when I went to the Holy Ruins to see how things were going.

I can see Crohiko walking away on her own with her back turned, looking dangerous.

"Yeah, right."

Sagara Krohiko wants to connect with others.

In fact, Crohiko has changed since I became involved with people of all kinds.

Brightness is also losing its impossibility.

And I got stronger.

No.

I'm still getting stronger.

Currier stared at his palm.

"The source of that power… we,"

Cecily slowly drops her gaze.

"A man named Lokia, he also said: 'Sagara Krohiko will almost certainly no longer be used when Currier Verstein is gone'. And" Perhaps the only alternative for Crohiko right now is Currier Verstein. "

"No, you don't"

"But you're the only one denying it, though?

"It's..."

"I'm not giving up Crohiko."

With a sunny face like that after you've already finished your determination, Cecily said.

"Currier"

Cecily looked up at the moon.

"Can I be an alternative one day?"

"Cecily, I..."

"Hey, Currier"

Cecily laughed in disgust.

"No?

"... what?

"Can't we both be beside Krohiko the whole time?

"Us... the two of us?

"I do not think that I will be loved by Crohiko alone. Maybe that's because it's gonna make him suffer. Besides... I've been feeling terribly comfortable with the three of us lately."

That... Currier was the same.

Though there was only reluctance to come from complicated thoughts, it was also true that I was beginning to feel like I enjoyed my time with the three of us.

Cecily gently stroked her white neck muscles.

"I'll wait three years, too."

"Three years?

"A response from Crohiko… I also decided to wait three years"

Three years later.

It's the year Crohiko and Cecily graduate from St. Renouncered's School, and if nothing happens, it's the year Hibigami and Crohiko settle.

Cecily's neck.

That was where Hibigami poked the blade.

A moment later, in her head, it may have come to mind about Crohiko and Hibigami's promise.

"So Currier also for three years, will you wait"

…………

"I know. So much so that it's just a postponement. Or even if you don't want it, maybe one day goodbye to nature will come. However... I feel that the time I have taken to postpone it will be a very valuable time for me."

Phew, and Cecily smiled zero.

It was a strangely grown-up smile.

"As convenient as it is, I know. I mean, you're just being selfish. Still, I don't care anymore."

Her voice was filled with determination and readiness.

"I like you guys so much."

At that time.

Two, the bugs stopped squealing simultaneously.

I felt like a quiet night had added even more serenity.

Our relationship has changed a lot, Currier thought.

When we first met, we had quarrels with each other, and it was like buying words into selling words.

That's the language of caring for each other now.

Not at all. The world, I don't know.

Cecily sneered.

I was about to get sucked into a grin.

If I were a man, I would be totally hit with this grin.

"Just one last thing, let's be clear"

…………

"Currier likes Crohiko, doesn't he?

A cool breeze blew.

Currier holds his hands to the silver hair scattered by the wind.

And after a few beats,

Feeling the heat on your cheeks...

"- Oh, I like it."

I shook off my strays and uttered the words.

Cecily smiled full of mercy.

And

"Finally, I could hear it from your mouth"

In a very calm tone, I said so.

Breathe small and deep.

Then modestly knock on the door.

I'm not alone in the hallway.

I guess it's also because of time, the hallways around the rooms are already quiet.

This was in front of Crohiko's room.

After a while, signs of something moving from inside the room.

"Uh, who is it?

There was a crohiko voice through the door.

It's Currier.

"Ah, Mr. Currier?

Once again Currier breathes well to calm her feelings.

And I said.

"Crohiko, I need to talk to you about something important"
