... for the first time in my life, I suspected hearing hallucinations.

"I've always wanted it. I don't remember when. When I realized it, I already wanted Kai."

I can't believe Diana said that.

In a reality that was too convenient for me, I was completely upset that such happiness could not happen, and that was an illusion that my desire was heard.

---Kai had just finished his assignment and was about to return to the Imperial Palace when Lik brought a letter with his powerful wings informing him of Diana's imminence. If we get here, one more Brad will be able to proceed with the operation without any problems. Leaving the rest to him, Khai hurried and changed his destination from Ifthane to Lars. There was no helper to swap horses, so I kept the speed down and after dark let the horses and myself rest... efficiently and as fast as I could and hurry back to Diana.

Dee?

By the time it was almost morning and arriving in the emperor's womb of Lars, the 'sign' that passed Kai's chest - apart from the danger to her life - Diana's heart was more rough than she had ever felt before. There's no doubt that something happened.

I can't afford to pretend like this anymore. Khai ran the horse, and after the horse reached its limit, he hurried to the Imperial Palace with the danger of being found on his own feet. If you sneak into the Imperial Palace with the "hidden form" spell Sola gave you for the time being, follow the signs of Diana and Rita, explore the room, and climb up to the balcony.

"Your Highness said..."

I saw Deanna completely losing herself and crying to Rita.

(Dee....!

It was Rita's strong eyes that controlled her attempts to speak up. While supporting Diana, who was crying, Rita just looked away and told her to hide for a while. However, I was only mentoring Sirius, the leader of "Darkness", and I was used to communicating without voice.

As Rita said, Kai hides on the balcony for a while.

(Now...)

Seriously, I heard words that doubted my ears.

Your ears are pouring into Kai, whose reality is incredible, words that cannot be processed one after the other.

"When only the warmth of Kai became special and I was happy to touch the body temperature... I thought I wanted more, I thought it was no good. Once you know more, you won't be able to leave."

... that's what Kai always wanted, knowing it was shallow. If only Diana could engrave her own warmth and make it invincible.

"If Khai knows this feeling, that affectionate, kind person won't be able to abandon me.... in the future, even if you can do more than you want to do next to me, you may be worried about me, and you may not be able to go the way you want."

... there's nothing more you can do than stay by Diana's side until you die. I can't tell you that you're not likely to encounter anything interesting, but if you can't be by Diana's side, you don't have a choice.

Except Kai, she's not as kind as Diana thinks she is. Though Diana is spoiled and kind enough to know for herself. It's not everyone friendly, it's just Diana's only spoiler.

For Kai - Diana is herself.

"I want Kai to live as he wishes and grasp the future of happiness as he wishes. Because you're a loved one - a loved one, so"

That's right - Kai thinks so too.

Deanna wants you to live as you wish and grasp the future of happiness as you wish.

It's just... love and thoughtfulness, just one woman.

(... that. Could this be?)

Isn't that what you think?... what the general public calls it.

(Does Dee... like me?

I knew they liked me. In the first place, Diana would naturally give a favor to someone she was normally friendly with, unless she was hostile to. I don't hate or dislike enemies in the dark. I even think it would be harder to be hated.

But there aren't many "likes" of Diana. Family love, friendship, love for the people... broadly divided into three categories.

I knew it was popular as a "friend". Even in friendship, he was so proud that he forgave a fairly close position.

So... this development is unexpected.

"Perhaps one day Kai will come and choose to leave me for his own happiness, but I can't bear to imagine it. I can't believe I'm lonely."

... is this really, really real? Diana, who had just left herself behind for someone's happiness, said, imagining a future away from herself, "I can't stand it." "I can't stand the loneliness."

"If you want to be so fierce that you can't hope for the happiness of the person you love the most... I didn't want to know. I wanted to live without knowing for the rest of my life!"

Deanna, with so much intensity that she couldn't help herself, asked for Kai.

Fearing the ferocity of your thoughts, you drown in love deep enough to despair in your own heart.

Even if it's a dream, you can't be ashamed of it!

... I didn't realize when I'd given up hiding.

When I realized it, I just stood in the middle of the balcony and looked at Diana's back, crying.

Rita looks slightly stunned, holding Diana in her arms.

"Certainly... Deanna is right, there is also a selfish and fierce aspect to love. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a rubbing matter caused by a craving."

"That's right...."

But...

Here, cut the words unnaturally. Rita wakes up confidently and directs Diana's gaze.

"This is just my theory. ― ― If each other's selfishness serves as a miracle match. In particular, isn't there a problem with your thoughts?

"Rita....?

"You can't consider the circumstances of the person you're looking for... but when the person you're looking for is there, it's not alone. You can't tell if Deanna's thoughts are really selfish without asking her.

Diana, who seemed to realize that Rita spinning the words was looking behind her, followed Rita's gaze honestly. --After that, her eyes caught Kai.

Moments. Diana's breathing, her movements... her thoughts stop.

(Ahhh...)

Unbelievable, but happy.

Apparently, what is happening to us now is not hallucinations or hallucinations.

It seems undoubtedly real.

"--That's why I'll leave it to you later."

Rita leaves the room with just one word, confirming herself staring at each other and thinking that she had fulfilled her role.... you're always a capable person.

Diana, who seems to have returned to me, leaves without stopping to chase Rita, who has closed the door, and raises her hips.

--In any case, her body was moving before she could think of it as an enemy escape.

"Dee"

Above all, call your beloved name and hug your body from behind. Her limbs, which jumped from her shoulders... were shaking from agitation.

"Ka, come..."

"Yeah, I'm home, Dee."

"Welcome back... but why?

"What happened?

"After all, if we're on schedule... we should arrive at the rear palace (Harem) last night or this morning, right?

"Oh no... if Dee is in Lars, I'll come too. I'm going back to Dee, and I don't have anything to do with Stanza's backyard."

Hold on to what you want to hold as much as you can, and tangle Diana's body with the strength she can't escape. Before the miraculous reality, I realized that I was just filled with love and happiness, and that self-control was blowing up more than I thought.

--Diana in her arms is still trembling.

"But why... why am I here, in Lars?"

"The royal palaces left in the rear palace (Harem) entrusted Lik with a letter to let him know. --I have to thank you later. Once I stopped by Ifthane, I never made it."

"In the meantime, it fits..."

"------he wants me. My warmth is special. You miss me. If we're going to make it to Cry Dee, we have to go straight from the" place of the example. "That was impossible."

Diana breathes heavily in her arms.

Silently, I heard a few subtle breaths... and eventually, a warm drop fell on Kai's arm holding Diana.

As she shakes her neck loosely, Diana squeezes the bottom of the robe.

"I'm sorry, please. I'm sorry..."

"... Dee?

"I didn't mean to tell you.... I wasn't going to tell you until I died."

"Say what?"

"You don't have to worry about me. I definitely don't want to die on your load."

……

"Forget it. Please, forget it all!"

"- Shut up, Dee."

The hoop came off. Hold a strong, deep, beloved woman's body at the same time as you say it in your ear.

With words and strength enough to stop even breathing.

"How many times do I have to tell you? It's impossible for Dee to be a burden or a burden to me."

"....."

"I'm sorry, but I can't hear Dee's request right now. Maybe Dee didn't want me to hear it, but I was glad to hear it. I can't forget, I can't even die."

"Hmm... this selfish desire to ignore your feelings..."

"--That's how I learned that Dee wanted me with so much intensity that I forgot. That's why I'm so happy."

"I don't know....!

Drop one soft tone on Diana's cheeks.

"Me too - long ago, I was unbearable because I wanted Dee. You can bet, but I want Dee more than Dee wants me. Such a craving woman wants me with the same feeling... honestly, I'm so happy with the momentum of self-control blowing up and I'm so happy that I can dream."

Diana's movements stopped completely this time. She stopped too perfectly and didn't react after a while, worried that she might have fainted, loosened her arms and peeked into her face.

Though Diana had not lost consciousness when she peeked, her eyes were rounded to the limit and her entire face was dyed bright red rather than her cheeks.

"... did you hear that?

"Coming, coming, coming, but...."

"But?"

"Hey, I can't understand..."

"Isn't it terrible?

"Not Kai. My ears."

"Ah, I can see that. It's just me."

Smile a little and change your posture. --Enough, I wanted to hold Diana properly from the front.

With her arms around her back and a loose hug, Diana stopped and looked up at Kai.

"... what's wrong?

"Kai... you want me?"

Yeah, I told you.

"... really?

"Ah, do you still doubt it?

"I mean... I've never felt such a sign or atmosphere from Kai."

"Some people say that Dee is particularly dull in her affection for herself... well, I've been trying hard to keep it down."

Diana is cute, blinking her eyes and expressing her doubts in an easy-to-understand way.... you might need to tell me how much, but if you want to keep it down and hide it from Diana, it's too early to show it to her.

With a smile of overflowing love, Kai stroked her cheeks softly with her right hand while supporting Diana's back with her left hand.

"....."

"--I thought I'd definitely confuse Dee if I kept feeling like this.... there's Dee's position, and if it's not enough to bother you with bad thoughts, maybe it's better to watch Dee not to be burdened."

"So... you suppressed me?

"Sometimes I think I've failed. --I can't stand Dee's cuteness because of my mental strength."

"... what's that?"

"Look at that face. --I want to be cute, more and more."

Red-dyed cheeks, exhaled breath, and hot, blue eyes. Unfortunately, Khai's spirit is not strong enough to be seen and perfectly restrained.

With his right hand stroking his cheeks, he slipped straight to his neck - removing one or two of the robe's fasteners.

"Kai....."

Show me, Dee.

"But...."

"If you really don't like it, you can't force it.... I want to see it."

"... don't you want to pull?

"No matter what Dee wears, I won't pull it off.... no?

"No... it's not."

I knew from the moment I hugged you. Below this robe is a stanza-style costume, not an Elgrand dress.

The reality that Diana was dyeing another man's color in her absence provoked jealousy that she had never known before.

Removing the fasteners to the bottom... Kai slowly slipped down the robe from Diana.

"... you're less exposed than I thought."

"... that's for horseback riding. If you fall, your stomach and arms will be in danger."

"I see? - But the fabric is thin and the feet and shoulders are out, so it's not enough to prevent a horse from falling off."

Though not dressed like the women of the rear palace (Harem) to hide only from the chest and waist to the bottom, the perfect shape of a topcoat with a clear line of body and a monkey to the bottom of the knee (that's what they call a fluffy pant), and an arm cover to guard from the wrist to the top of the elbow, should be lightweight enough for Elgrand women to have hair on their underwear. Just wearing a robe on top of this and going out and riding a horse would have been... scary and anxious.

Diana herself has a hard sense of chastity, against the backdrop of her reputation for playing around with men. Even if you are told to enter the country, it sometimes involves unimaginable mental distress to be forced to behave differently from the values you have been accustomed to since you were born.

Deena leaned down - Kai hugged softly.

"Thank you, Dee. - Good work."

"Kai....."

"No matter what you wear, Dee is Dee. As I told you before, I'd do anything for Dee.... but Dee probably had a hard time."

"... honestly. It doesn't matter."

Unexpectedly, Kai blinked her eyes.

Diana's eyes looking up at us - perhaps even now - glossed slightly with shame.

"No way, I didn't think Mia and the others would contact you.... it's harder than I thought to wait for you to come home in the back of the house (Harem), and I miss seeing you. I didn't really realize what I was wearing."

"Dee...."

"Now that I know about your clothes, I can finally remember what you're wearing.... I'm probably embarrassed, too, cash."

... Anyway, Diana, who lays her eyes down, was even more violent and cute. It is rather a miracle that we did not push him down on the spot. ― ― While Diana was in the side room, it was really bad for her to develop into a physical relationship.

And... it seems that the man's desire to touch him didn't seem to deceive him. In her arms, Diana's whole body is dyed red and her body feels fluffy and warm.

As soon as I tried to scare her away, Diana jumped out of me.

As it stands, the thin arm turns to Khai's back.

"... Dee?

"... I'm sorry. Kai. - Thank you."

"Dee...."

"I'm glad you want me. --no matter what your desire is.

"... aren't you scared?

"Kai, what would I do? Me, too. I'm not scared."

"I... huh?"

"Thank you for wanting it.... I'm sorry, I can't respond right now."

"There's nothing Dee can apologize for. --I know everything, and I'm still the one who wants Dee."

Oh, darling. The thoughts that you should have given up if you didn't have a bottom, touching Diana's thoughts, further deepening and inviting her to the bottom.

Turn your arms tightly on Diana's back while she hugs you.

"Hey, Dee. Remember that promise?

"One day, when it's all over, you promise to go to the Empire of Shoji with me...?

"Yeah, well, I'd like to add another one."

"... add?

"Together, I saw the streets where Shoji lined up, and beyond. I want to live with Dee as long as I live to the future."

Diana raised her face with momentum. That expression was dyed with astonishment and... indelible joy.

"... am I good?

Dee is good. All I want is Dee.... in fact, no one knows the future, and maybe Dee will love me so much that I can't say I can't. "

"That can't be happening.... or vice versa."

"That's impossible.... so, if you make conditions based on the uncertainty of the future, it feels like" as long as we want each other "

"Kai....."

"As long as Dee wants me. As long as you want to live together. --I want to live with Dee. Until the moment you die."

Every time Kai spins words, Diana's eyes get wet. dripping droplets

After wiping with her fingers, Diana laughed as she cried, the prettiest thing she had ever seen.

"I want to stay with... Kai forever and ever. As long as Kai wants me."

It's settled.

Together, Kai laughs at Diana. I knew Diana wouldn't refuse it at a distance that I could mouth right now, but that's why I weighed myself so much.... anyway, once you take away your lips, it feels like you'll deepen your contact and blow yourself to the end.

To avoid inadvertently reaching out, Kai skilfully repositioned herself, placing Diana's body between her feet and holding her whole body. --This way, Diana's head is around her chest, so she can prevent impulsive tampering.

In her arms, Diana smiles gently... happily.

"--Khai, say hello again."

"Welcome. --First of all, I'm quite greedy just because I was hiding it. Sheila found out, so it's tough."

"... she said that Sheila and you were rubbing each other regularly."

"Hmm, I don't think it's going to be my offensive and defensive battle that's been reopened because it's not going to be a burden on Dee, apart from Sheila, who was feeling critical about my weight.... just looking at the results, I feel that Sheila's concerns are brilliant."

"... if you're heavy, I'm also heavy, so it feels like we're each other."

"I don't know... Either way, if I go back to Elgrand, I'll be mad at you for seeing it, so I have to be ready now."

Kai consolidates a determination into a dream-like reality that he never imagined while continuing an unstoppable conversation.

(Whatever happens - no matter how many fangs the world and fate strip, it doesn't matter. Whatever happens now, I'll keep Dee alive. If the fate of the "Princess of the Forest" takes away Dee's future... the whole fate will be defeated)

The young man called "The Little Lion" is now. With the love of the "Princess", a miracle that nurtures life, she transforms herself into a true "lion" and jumps to the front line of the board with courage and courage.
