"Yeah, but yeah."

While he is determined, if suddenly Leo's tone of voice drops and wonders, Mr. Leo looks at me with a slightly lonely look.

"What is it?

"No, because until now, when I thought I'd miss you, I'd see Chris if I showed my face in the student council room. This is how I'm going to see you if I don't promise."

……

"Naturally, but I miss you."

Looking at Mr. Leo laughing lonely, the pleasant feeling I had just had squeezed rapidly and the loneliness hit me all at once. Yes, if we split up here today, we'll never see each other again at school.

Anyway, if you're going to meet Chris in disguise in Lower Town, if you're going to meet him as Duchess' Christiane, then, as Leo says, you have to promise me that you're going to meet both houses hard.

I kind of feel the distance at once. Really, it's not going to be easy. At least, I don't care what you think about seeing each other on a daily basis like before.

That... is so, so lonely.

If I thought so, the tears that I was pulling in once, got me excited again.

"Wow, Chris!?

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Once I start crying, I can't stop.

"Sorry! I'm fine! You're gonna keep going to Tails, right?

I heard Leo looking in a hurry, and I nod so hard, too.

"I'm gonna go a little bit too!

I don't mean to get you in trouble, but I can't stop crying. I'm sorry, Mr. Leo.

"Ahhh, I'm sorry, Chris. I said something far-fetched."

I hear Mr. Leo's voice like a troubled one, and his body gets fluffy and warm.

If I noticed, Mr. Leo's arm covered my body with kindness as if dealing with even broken goods. I'm delighted with its tenderness, which beats my back with a certain rhythm to reassure me.

"Well, what are you making me cry about?

"Eh."

Biri, and Leo's body stifled. This voice, Dear Gracelia............!

"If you think it's too late, your hands are fast."

"No, this is it."

Ba and Mr. Leo's hands go away.

When I looked up, Leo was in a hold-up position.

"You don't have to imitate the distractions around the school. There's an ear on the wall. The Duke tightened it up."

"Before you do, I can physically strangle you."

Soon I'll even be at Rufest............!

I wonder if they saw it. is, embarrassing............!

Shit, Rufez kicks Mr. Leo out like he's going to get rid of even Wang, and I'm taken straight to the school by Master Gracelia.

"Chris, don't forget your promise! I'll pick you up!

Natural mouth breaks on Leo's voice, which is a little farther away.

I managed to look back as Lady Gracelia pulled me back and waved loudly at Mr. Leo.
