I was telling Faraes everything.

That's what I've been hiding.

Now that I think about it, I must have just missed you. So he did what he meant by throwing himself.

When he heard about it, Faraes was shaking a little.

I know just a little bit about what that feels like.

"Slade......"

"Ugh..."

Faraes was waking up my body and grabbing the chest barn.

And I'm gonna keep waving my right hand.

"Idiot!"

"Ugh!"

On my left cheek, Faraes' left hand slapped.

That's the power inside. But I know what it's meant to be.

So I thought I could get beat up as much as I wanted. But it didn't.

"Ugh..."

"Slade......"

Because Faraes has been hugging me.

That soft feeling wraps me up. That warmth warms me up.

"What a fool you have done..."

"Oh, oh..."

"I can't believe I gave up my life myself..."

Faraes was shaking just a little.

That's what sadness means, it's telling me too.

Faraes is saddened that I threw myself in the world before me.

It was in the previous world, but it still grieves me. I'm just a little happy about that, and I'm so sorry.

"I'm sorry. I was weak in the world before."

"Oh, I know that. I'm sure you missed your masters, huh?

"I guess so..."

Faraes understood my feelings.

I didn't realize then, but I was feeling lonely. Perhaps that has felt Faraes as well.

"I was so sad when my parents died. But I had Cretta for me. So I managed. But you didn't have it, did you?

"I think so"

"But still, I don't think I should have taken the means to throw myself. That's the worst thing you can do."

"Oh, now I know"

I turn my hand around Faraes' body.

I wanted to feel that warmth. I want to bite down why I want to be here.

"Never make that choice in this world. If that happens to you, I can't stand it..."

"Oh, I know. I know a lot about this world, too. In the previous world, I made a cheap choice. But I don't do that anymore. I already have loved ones. I'm not leaving those people behind."

"Slade......"

Faraes has strengthened the power to embrace my body.

I'll go with it, and I'll make it stronger. It's like checking each other's feelings.

Me and Faraes stare at each other.

"Slade......"

"Oh......"

"Mmm..."

We slowly overlaid our lips.

Faraes has been given a kiss as a reward, but not this time.

It's a kiss after we know how we feel about each other. I don't know why, but I feel even more comfortable than the previous kiss.

"Mmm..."

"Mmm..."

Besides, this time it didn't end in an instant.

We didn't try to leave each other. Plus, we're gonna kiss even deeper.

Tied and mixed, intertwined with each other.

"Ugh..."

"Huh..."

"Hmmm......"

We get separated and mixed up again.

At the same time, I was defeating Faraes' body.

Unlike earlier, I already know this time. Keep getting the whole Faraes thing.

"Slade......"

"... what?

"For what I've been putting up with, you can do whatever you want today, okay?

"Oh, let me do that"

Thus began the night between me and Pharaoh.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Faraes, we were done and resting for now.

Next door, there's a Pharaoh that doesn't wrap a thread around me, and I'm turning my hand around that body.

"Kind of awesome with all that stuff, huh?

"Oh, oh..."

To talk in this situation is a little embarrassing.

Faraes seems fine with me.

I guess there's room for older people in places like this. That kind of thought came up, but on second thought, he was younger.

"Slade? You were thinking of something rude right now, weren't you?

"Yes, no... sorry"

Faraes immediately noticed what I was thinking.

Somehow, I feel no match for Faraes in the future.

"Nevertheless, I can't believe I'm in this relationship with you..."

"Yeah?"

"No, this morning...... yesterday already? Well, either way, I wasn't expecting this kind of relationship with you."

Sure, until a day ago, I had no idea this was going to happen.

Man, it's something you don't know what is.

"... do I have to tell everyone?"

"Oh, that's the thing, I'll tell you that from me"

"Huh? From Faraes?

"Oh, I've told you a lot."

To my mundane question, Faraes has said that.

Should I ask Faraes to say this?

It should be difficult to say, so I feel a little sorry for leaving it to Faraes alone.

"Slade... I'm not trying to monopolize you."

"Yeah?"

So Faraes mentioned something odd.

What do you mean you're not trying to monopolize me?

Somehow, a little nasty sweat flows from my forehead.

"For example, it doesn't matter if you have the same relationship with the other girls here as I do."

"Hey, what...?

"Well, if it was anything other than your own, I would never forgive you..."

I was surprised at what Faraes said.

This is a declaration that you can cross the line with the other girls you live with. So you're saying we can have an affair?

"Slade, this isn't about cheating or anything."

"Yeah? What do you mean?

"I do, I want to be with you all the time. But if I had a monopoly on you, I think some kids would be walking away from here."

"Oh, that's..."

"That's why it's good to be inside. Did you understand that?

Apparently, Faraes has a pretty amazing idea.

Indeed, the words are not even convincing. But is that okay?

I want to be with everyone, too. But doing that, I wonder.

"... well, it's not like I don't know what I'm trying to say. But isn't that a little weird?

"You don't seem to know anything, do you?

"Huh?"

"What have you ever done to the girls who live here? Shall we look back at that?

In Faraese's words, I think.

Until now, I've helped everyone and everyone has helped me.

Is there anything else?

"Yeah?"

"Phew..."

So I kept remembering.

I take a bath with the people who live here and sleep with them.

"You haven't crossed the battle, but you've done quite a few things to everyone, haven't you? You don't take responsibility for that?

"Yes, no..."

"Besides, you don't like a lot of girls other than me, do you?

"Ugh..."

I'm being hunted down by Faraes.

Faraes is right, I've done enough to have to take responsibility.

Besides, I'm pretty sure I cared a lot about the others. I mean, what Faraes is saying, I can say thank you.

Maybe we should get ready here.

"Well... what Faraes says, okay. But if they don't accept me in the end, that won't work, will it?

"Well, that's true."

In the end, I decided to accept Faraes' words.

However, because there are feelings for them, how can they do this right now?

"And yet, Faraes is really lonely, isn't he?

"... right. I'm lonely. So do you want me to hold you tight?

"Oh, let me do that"

So, I lay my hands on Faraes' body again.

While I was talking, I was able to recover quite a bit.

Our night is still going on.
