"I'm finally finished..."

"I'm tired."

By the time I delivered the last remaining Ain to the dorm room, the day was already tilted.Since we gathered everyone after the lesson, it seems that it took longer to clean up afterwards than it took us all to wake up.

Gilbert and Cecilia follow the corridor leading to the salon in a hectic state.All that's left is to clean up the room.Leanne and Grace are in charge, but I'm not sure they're finished.

"It was tough in the end, but it was fun today!"Everyone seemed to be having fun!Lena's scones were delicious after all! "

That's right.

"Besides, Gil seemed to have a lot of fun today!"

What? Me?

I wonder if he didn't realize it, but he makes an unexpected voice.

As his eyes widened, Cecilia pulled her lips up slightly.

"Yeah. It seemed like a lot of fun.... especially the last one. "

"The last one is after everyone has had a drink."

Yeah!

Gilbert's nod gave Cecilia a squeamish look.His face was like, "Is your eye a hole?'It seems.

Cecilia went further than that, ignoring his expression.

Something. Gil, you're getting along with everyone!

Friendly?

"I didn't resist being called 'Gill'."Besides, I know that Gil doesn't burn people he doesn't like. "

Cecilia turns her hand to her back and reaches back, then looks back at Gilbert, who walks a little behind her.

"That's why I had so much fun today, and I was so happy!"

Gilbert stopped walking with a slightly surprised look at her with a carefree smile.

But it's also a moment.

As soon as he returned to his original expression, he began to walk again, with a slightly larger stride, so as to close the gap with Cecilia.

"I knew Gil. He felt like no one was there. He was alone and alone."

Is that me in the game?

"Ah, yes. It's probably my (Cecilia's) fault, but I haven't opened my heart to anyone..."

Cecilia lowered her gaze slightly, keeping her face in front of her.

I remember what I remember from my previous life.It was an emotion directed at the game character, but the feelings at that time are not much different than they are now.

After all, Gilbert was the first to play, and he was the first to play.

Thoughtfulness is also part of it.

"I'm trapped in my room by myself, and I feel lonely all the time.That's why I wanted to be happier than anyone else in this world. "

……

"Something happened. I was a little touched when I saw Gil taking care of everyone today!"

Gilbert looks at Cecilia for a moment.And somehow with a certain certain certainty, he threw words on her back.

"Well, I heard from Leanne, Cecilia's suggestion... me?"

"...... Huh?"

"It's called pushing, isn't it? About the character I liked the most."

In the blink of an eye, Cecilia's face turns red.And then, as if that was the answer, I was just wolfing off.

"Eh? Ah, eh..."

"Ah, I knew it."

Gilbert nodded, not particularly happy.

Cecilia repeats her words to him like that.

"Oh, that's right!"Whether you like it, want to protect it, or want it to make you happy...Oh, no! I don't know what to say! "

“It's okay, I know.”

Huh?

"As expected, my brother should be here forever..."

Sighing like that, Cecilia twisted her neck for no reason.I told her, "It's nothing.This is the story, ”Gilbert smiles.

That's when...

Oh, you're here.

Grace, what's wrong?

Cecilia shouted louder at Grace, who was peeking at her face from the bend in front.

Grace stares at Gilbert once and then walks up to Cecilia.

Cecil, can I talk to you alone for a moment?

In that serious voice, Cecilia said, "Huh."Yeah..." I nodded.

"What do you two want to talk about?"

Cecilia asked Grace that in the empty classroom she had been summoned to.

Grace turns her back and looks at Cecilia slowly after a slightly thought-provoking gesture.

Cecilia-san, I've been thinking a lot about you.

What are you talking about?

It's about Prince Janice.

The words stretched my spine.

"It's almost certain that the [Sword of Selection] is in Prince Janice's hands."On top of that, we have no way to find Prince Janice. "

That's true.

I've looked everywhere I can find it, and I can't use the Duke's information network.Since then, Dante has told us that Merlin and the others have been looking for us, but the absence of a report means we haven't gotten much information yet.

As for Cecilia, I expect Janice to contact her, but there's no sign of her at the moment.

“I'll be honest. I don't think we'll be able to find Prince Janice on our own anymore.”

"That's..."

“Cecilia may want us to contact her, but there's no reason for her to contact us anymore.At least for Cecil-san.... "

“Who could it be?”

"If you're a candidate for Miko-san..., maybe."Well, even if it's contact, it's assassination. "

Assassination...!

"But Leanne has Huey by her side."Therefore, it is more likely that you will not be contacted in the first place, and I think that even if you are contacted, you will not suffer so much damage. "

Having heard that, Cecilia relaxed her body in relief.

But surely, if the opponent wants to overthrow the Prosperous Kingdom and wants to interfere with the selection process, it's only natural to target Lean.

"I'll put the story back on."In other words, what I'm saying is, 'In this situation, it's better to give up the barrier.' ”

I didn't feel any strange shock.Maybe it was something Cecilia felt somewhere in her heart.

Grace exhaled a single breath as she leaned down on Cecilia and opened her mouth in a strange way.

“But if Cecilia doesn't want to give up, there's only one way.”

How?

"If I can't find it, I'll force you to call it in."They weren't outlaws, but royalty with an identity.If you have a formal letter, you can pull it out in front of us. ”

"That's..."

A bad feeling slipped through my cheek.

Summon the royalty.

There aren't many people in the world who can do that kind of art.

"Cecilia, let's ask your Highness for help."Tell him everything.As I see it, that's the only way. ”
