"I'm the one who came up with your redo."... just because it sounds interesting. Even if you lost your magic power and died, it didn't matter to me. "
"... I know. Still, it's a miracle for me.”
"But what happened today... today, I really don't want to bother you or play with you." That's not what I thought.
Master Nell continued to chant as he chose his words over and over again. Ask me to understand for the first time without telling me anything one-sidedly.
I waited for the words to tell Nell so hard, in amazement at her appearance.
”... I just thought... you should laugh.”
The words were very surprising, as he turned his gaze away in a bad way.
"Master Nell... have you been trying to please me all this time?"
Oh, it's obvious.
"You brought me to the space-time room, and you made time for me to meet Master Louis." all to really make me laugh.... "
”... what? I've told you so many times.”
In response to my murmur, Master Nell blushed slightly embarrassed. And then he shrugged off his face like he was shaking.
{You've given me my strength... so bless me. You're the only one who didn't break under my protection. "
And he remembered suddenly the words of the black horse, saying, The king is young.
Until now, Nell may have had less experience in organizing her emotions and using words. I am curious and interested in humans. But how do you see your actions and how do you feel about them? I don't think I've ever had that kind of consciousness before.
No, in any case, as a spirit king, I didn't think it was necessary.
Still, Nell was trying to keep an eye on me.
You've rushed to the brink of Louis' life and given me a chance. They took me to a space-time room. I thought everything was the whims of the Spirit King. And there is certainly a whim in itself.
But more than that, there's only one reason he thought of me as a fraction.
Listen, listen carefully. Certainly, we spirits live casually, and we hate matching someone. But you are much more loving than humans. ”
"Lovely..."
"Yeah. You humans I've seen betray you with a good face." I lie, my parents, my lovers, my best friends. I just regret hurting you and feeling guilty on my own. Even if you didn't take care of it properly. "
"... yes"
The Spirit lives on instinctively. That may not be understood by humans. I don't know how people feel. I don't understand the weight of my life. But I will not betray you. I don't cheat. I'm not lying. Spirits other than the Spirit King make contracts with humans for the rest of their lives. You will not leave the person you have contracted once.... except for the death of either a human or a spirit. "
I'm happy with the words.
Kuro, and the medium spirits of the water I once contracted - they kept their power whenever I wanted. The Spirit will always be close to the Contractor. It gives me strength. Even if you work evil with that power, you will not leave the covenant.
When I'm here, I feel closer to the Spirit than I've ever felt before. And at the same time, I can feel the warmth of the spirits I had never known before.
"The Spirit lives as it is..."
Oh, just like nature.
No falsehood, no betrayal. Live what you want.
"I wish I could live like that." I really think so. ”
That's how you live.
Master Nell said to me in a light tone.
I want to live with honesty at all times. At the same time, I am in the position of the prince's fiancé. In supporting the country with Louis, there will be a lot of things that honesty alone will not do.
At that time, do I give priority only to my own justice? Or do you give priority to your country and your people?
When I thought about it, Louis would definitely make a tough decision with conviction, even if he sometimes hurt himself for the sake of his country.
“I want to be that way. But lies are not all evil. Sometimes there are gentle lies. Sometimes we make promises that we can't make.”
"You know you can't make it, but you promise? It's pointless."
"... sometimes I wink without punishing evil to protect what is important to me."
What do you mean?... I don't know what you mean.
Master Nell tilted his neck in a strange way.
"What's right and what's wrong with me?" I'm always lost in my judgment. I'm failing every day. ”
You will know when you enter the land of spirits. For the coziness here. Still, do you think the human world is better? ”
“The human world is not only beautiful, but sometimes dirty. What we believed to be righteous is often evil if we change our position.”
”That's why you're so nonsensical, you're destroying your precious nature. Because of this, our dark spirits had to move their dwellings.”
"Yeah, that's true."
In Dutwa, too, we shed a lot of blood in the previous war. I broke nature for comfort. There must be a lot of foolishness in humans, including me.
"Still, I..."
"But such a world." I love the world that my loved ones live in. ”
In response, Master Nell blinked his eyes again and again as he was stunned for a moment. However, immediately after that, I turned my face away and began to shake my shoulders and let out a laugh.
"... haha, that's why I want to know." After all, human beings are interesting. "
Looking at Nelle-sama, who was smiling happily while pointing her glittering eyes at us, she naturally smiled.
And I noticed one thing when I talked to Master Nell for so long. I know that Master Nell is just like me.
I want to know something I don't know. I know the emotion.
Going back in time, I was ashamed of my ignorance. At the same time, the world I didn't know seemed dazzling.
As long as you keep me entertained, I'll give you a hand.
Having said that, I grabbed back Nell-sama's hand, which she held out to me.
But it's already late today, so you need to get some rest.
Ah, but...
Your prince is fine. I'll keep the magic flowing today. "
"... thank you, Master Nell."
For a moment, I turned my gaze to the door. The wooden door with the beautiful moon pattern is closed tightly as it was when you came here.
But it's too late for that. Maybe we should rest as Nell says.
Thinking so, I bowed to Master Nell while being attracted to my back hair, and then quietly turned my heel back. Then he returned to his given room.
That's why I couldn't hear Nelle-sama's voice whispering from behind.
I want to take care of it. I want to see your smile. But I want to fuck up and play.... I wonder why this is happening. "
To whom is the word addressed?
♦
As promised by me, when Master Nell entered the room, he smiled disturbingly and his purple eyes narrowed suspiciously.
Oh, but I'm looking forward to it. When the prince woke up, how would Rachel react? "
After the magic power flowed out, Master Nell disappeared with a pleasant smile.
All that remained was Louis, who slept alone in the bed, just as he had done when he came to the land of the Spirit.
But when there was no one there was a change. Even though she was still unconscious, Louis' right index finger, which was still tightly closed, was twitching.
At that time, I sat on the bed and looked at the sky from the window of my room.
The starry sky covered by the clouds hides like a lie. Looking at the situation, I couldn't help but notice that the clock hands were moving slowly again.
