I said I'd squeeze out my wallet, but I'm not that strong on alcohol. I didn't drink enough to lose my identity, and I have to go home on my own feet to the outhouse.

Me and Priscilla came back out of the palace after cutting up in various places and parting with Falgana, who was somewhere hoarse but lonely looking at her purse. Priscilla stopped me as I tried to enter the entrance.

"... Her Royal Highness Sister Wang"

"Hmm?"

"... sorry again. And thank you."

"What's wrong with being changed?

"No... I thought I should tell you when I can"

"Oh well."

I feel my distance from Priscilla has shrunk more than before I had a drink. That's why it's a shame that this situation has come to pass.

Entering the outhouse with bad thoughts. Then it was Raini who rushed down to me first.

"What are you doing! Master Anis's idiot. Ah!

"Ohhhh!?"

It was a rush or a full-blown disease! Keep it up Raini hugs me to my dovetail as much as he wants, and I'm morose of the shock. Wow, my stomach is going to repeat itself...!

Raini lifts her collar neck and tightens where she is about to squat. No heart, or is it my fault Raini's crimson eyes look shitty?

"Are you stupid to go out with patience or something when you say that you are in an attacked emergency!?"

"Ugh... hey Raini... Shit...!

"And it stinks of alcohol! Have you been drinking!? What are you really thinking!? Are you stupid!? Are you stupid!? Are you stupid?!?"

"Wait! I vomit! I vomit!

I screamed unwittingly, shaken back and forth. If the boulders rock me so much, I'm gonna throw up!

It was Ilia who stopped Raini where he was close to reading seconds until I threw up. That Ilia's gaze was also cold out......

"Raini, let's calm down. You idiot... you know, it's normal for Anisphere to do strange things."

"But!"

"You just have to leave the rest to Master Uphilia. - That's why Master Uphilia is here. As soon as I got back, I told him to show his face. Please wait in your private room."

".................. Yes"

I guess Yufi is even angrier that Raini is at this rate...

Huh, I smiled at Priscilla, who looked worried or showed some sign of sorrow, and I slapped her on the shoulder.

"Thanks for hanging out with me, Priscilla. I wanted to get some info on the Adventurer Alliance, so I'm glad to hear it."

"... Yes"

For a moment, I was Priscilla with a face like, "Why," but it still doesn't taste good to say here and now that it was Priscilla who invited me. That's why he immediately realized my intention to delude me with my body that I took him out.

Well, I need to see Yufi for now. Before that I turn my gaze to Ilia and Raini.

"Sorry, can I get some water and get dressed first..."

"Uffi, it's me."

I went straight to Yuffi's private room after getting some water and dressed for sneaking. Take a deep breath, get your breath ready, then knock, and speak up.

- Go ahead.

I open the door because I heard Yufi reply. As I went inside, I saw Uffi sitting on the chair.

Yufi's gaze turned to me as I closed the door behind my back. Uffi, staring at me with a stream, said nothing, and, dunno, slapped his desk with his finger, pointing to the opposite seat with his jaw.

(I'm so angry at you...!

This is me, I mean sit quietly...

I sit across from Uffi without turning my back. Where I took my seat, Uffi put his legs and arms together and looked at me jizzily.

- So, what do you want to say?

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

Yufi's intimidation is amazing. As I accidentally shrunk my shoulders, I first uttered words of apology.

Then Yuffi's eyes narrowed. Its mouth draws loneliness and smiles. But my gaze remains cold. Totally under pressure......!

"Hehe... If I were your sister-in-law, what would you be apologizing for? I don't know what to do."

... unsavory. When Yuffi calls me her sister, it's a sign that she's seriously angry. No, I sure can't help but think it was a detour this time, but you think it was really necessary, or that it turned out, but you want to make sure it works out...

"Sister-in-law?

"Yes, sorry to go out with your patience right after they targeted my life..."

".................. ha"

When he manages to utter words of apology, Uffi turns off his smile and exhales a heartbroken sigh.

"... Do you know how worried people were?

"... Yes"

"It may have been necessary, but it's just a detour.... So, what happened?

"Ugh."

Are you going to ask me what happened, not what or what? Maybe you're saying that Yufi also assumes that I had to go outside because something happened to me.

I think we need to talk about Priscilla, but there's still a little alcohol left, and for once I want to set aside time to sort it out, too.

"... anise?

"Something happened. Because I could see what I wanted to see in the Adventurer Alliance. But talking about the content... I still can't sum up how to talk about it"

"... to the point of becoming. Looks like he was drinking too."

Giro, and Yufi stared with her narrowed eyes, so I shrink again.

It was Uffi staring at me for a while, but he sighed and missed his gaze.

"The investigation has just begun, but the raiders threw up. As Annis guessed, they were from the Aylene Empire."

"... well"

"I hear Anis already expected it. The Adventurer Guild, what's your business?

"... it turned out that way, I guess. I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay? I need time."

"Okay. And Anis, stay away from the palace for a while. As for the magic city, I'll leave it to Count Cyan until things settle down. I'll finish one of these raiders first. That's good, right?

"Of course not."

I don't think there's going to be another raid soon, but I've never been more alert.

"... So we're talking privately from here"

"Oh, that?

Even though I was about to finish my sermon, Yufi stares at me with a more rugged look than I just did...

"Were the drinks delicious until you were patient?

"... oh, you know, it's, you know, we're dating, we really need to"

"It was a holiday. Night is the day we can be together, if nothing happens."

"Yes..."

"... you're jealous of the crowd with me, right? Anis."

Yufi, who slowly took his seat, comes to my sight. With his hands on his jaw, he peers into his eyes from close range.

I'm sorry, and I snort and Uffi smells. For a moment, I thought I had narrowed my eyes and my face was fixed and I mouthed it, or my lips were bitten sweetly.

"... don't you think what a terrible person you are to leave me alone and walk flirtatiously for alcohol? Anis."

"No, you know, Ufi... how this can be a difficult and profound situation...!

"I'm away from the palace for a while... that's good, right?

I didn't just laugh in my eyes. The smile of Uffi, who said it with a smile, just seemed like the grin of a carnivore, no matter where it came from.

"... general laziness... my head gangs..."

The next day, it wasn't until around lunch that I could move. Uffi woke up at his usual time and climbed the castle, but I couldn't get up under the influence of magic depletion and hangover.

He manages to pull through his tired body and takes to the dining room to fill his stomach complaining of hunger. At this time, I want to put the leftovers in my stomach. I've been making hungry noises since just now in search of nutritional deficiencies in my body.

"... Dear Anisphere?

As I stepped into the dining room, Ilia, who was in the dining room by chance, found me and circled my eyes. It's what I was walking on the wall with no strength, so Ilaria rushes right up to me and gives me a hand.

"Morning, Ilia... Sorry, I'm hungry..."

If you tell me, I'll take you to your room.

"... because if I were in that room, I wouldn't be able to calm down the other way"

"What?"

If I stayed in my room, I'd remember last night, and I wouldn't be able to calm down the other way. I'm sorry I pissed you off, but yesterday Yuffi was unrelenting. Half way through, I was also unconscious due to lack of magic......

I shake my head to the left and right to erase the memory that was about to come back. Ilia pulled me up to my seat in a sigh as I trembled to try not to piss me off in the future, and let me sit in the chair.

"A snack will be served, please wait a moment"

"Sorry, that helps."

Dropping Ilia off towards the kitchen, I plunge into the table and item.

I'm not sleepy, but I don't want to move. It smelled good sniffing my nose as I was round as I stuck it at my desk. It's the soup and bread that Ilia brought on the tray.

"Go ahead."

"Thanks......"

I woke up and then prayed before my meal and I carried the bread into my mouth in chisels. Will it be the rest of what I prepared this morning? Still, if you chew the soft bread, the sweetness spreads through your mouth.

Drink the soup and I'll exhale. The sweetness of the vegetables in the ingredients is tiring body friendly. Cut the bread straight into bite sizes and soak it in soup.

"Looks like you were squeezed a lot last night, huh?

"... Shut up"

"You deserve it."

I chew a thousand pieces of bread, frowning at Ilia, who calls out to tease me. Every time I felt my vitality come back to my body just lazy.

"... what happened with Priscilla?

"Ngu."

I almost caught the bread in my throat by accident. I rush to pour bread in with soup.

"... I knew you'd notice?

"Yeah, somehow."

To be honest with you, I didn't think you could delude me. That's why I was going to tell you everything tonight.

"Priscilla was looking a little strange too... because I remember her a little"

"... what about that Priscilla?

"I'm in Charne's care. Charne woke up, and I'm fine now, though. Just in case."

"Oh well..."

When I think of Priscilla, I exhale naturally. How should I have been dealing with Priscilla and how should I face Priscilla in the future?

I don't know why I'm forgiving Priscilla for just my presence on the boulder. If this is irrelevant to me, I think so.

"... you're the same"

"? What?

"I'm twisting my head desperately for someone else."

"... I wonder"

"That's right. However, Anisphere's care can only be directed at those who need it."

"I don't mean to be such a fan."

"I like people. I just know I don't need to point that kindness at anyone."

Soon Ilia had started preparing tea. Take a breather after eating bread and soup while watching it sideways. By the time my meal was finished, Ilia's tea had also been prepared and offered to me.

"... if so. I guess I was too late to reach out this time."

"Was it too late,"

"Yeah. It was too late to reach out. I can't help it, but... I think there's something more I could have done."

"That's... there's no choice."

"Can't help it?

Ilia came back to me to say that nothing was wrong. That's so unexpected, I look at Ilaria blinking my eyes.

"At all times, the only person Master Anisphere reaches out to is someone he can no longer help himself with. Like me, or Master Uphilia, or Raini. That's why you reach out directly until there's really, really nothing you can do about it. So don't worry, if you want to help, you just have to reach out and help."

"... since I can't help it, can I? Is it arrogant that I wanted to help before that?

"That's greedy, I say. Besides, you indicate when you will be able to live on your own before someone saves you. So that everyone can live directly and without asking someone for help. So you're always doing what you can. Besides, there is one thing that is missing from the Anisphere."

"What's missing?

"That's how you have us so you don't have to reach out for someone. So rely on me. There's no way you can save everything by yourself."

To Ilia's words, I lean against my back with the cup on my desk unexpectedly. Cover your face against the ceiling with your hands, and then divulge what an unspeakable voice.

You don't have to save me by myself, if I want to, you just have to raise your voice to save me. When they say that, unspeakable emotions come in.

"............... right, thanks. Ilia, I've lost sight of you many times."

"It must be because I'm not used to relying on someone. You can count on more people."

"You had to let me rely on you. I'm feeling a little better."

What Priscilla did is not acceptable. No matter how much I like Priscilla, no matter how much I decide for myself, I'm sorry to the people who care about me.

Still, I don't want to feel bad about what I want to save. There are conflicting opinions, and I can't deny it if they say it's a detour. Still, I still want to believe in people.

If nothing like this happens, we can work together even if it happens. What I can do to build such a relationship. There's a lot to be done, but let's get rid of it one by one. Because that must be the shortcut above all else.
