Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen!

The ambiguity is how to identify enemies in the first place.

The game is obvious in the coloring of enemy allies on the screen. It color-codes armor colors, and there's no boss in that range. Well, obviously not like the others, so it's obvious.

Naturally, this world is so similar to it that I mistakenly assumed that the cloak was on my side because it was blue in color.

But the color coding of the game also means that we are separating the Kingdom of Luain from the Kingdom of Falgia.

So what happens if people in the same country were enemies?

- Like me, where I was relieved that my allies were here, I guess I'm going to taste the feeling of betrayal.

Maybe it's easy to get caught up with one another like this.

Yes, it was a reflection later, but now I wasn't quite there.

……

I'm in a hurry when they kill me like this while I raise my voice that won't scream.

But she wears a blue dress like a samurai, so her escape is extremely slow. I don't even carry a knife. But isn't it going to get in Reggie's way as it is!? I think, but when I get down the horse, I'm going to be a target, and I'm afraid I can't.

"Growl! Chiara, stick to the horse!

An escort knight called Growl leaves in front of Reggie before Reggie calls on him.

I made sure Reggie pushed me and stuck in front of the saddle with a lay down attitude.

In that state, turn your gaze forward.

Seeing the situation, I accidentally tried to understand it in game form.

Only one attack per turn. Even if you can defeat your opponent with it, Growl can only avoid or defend against the other three attacks. Chill out if they won't scrape the HP.

Plus, the enemy used one horse, one turn, to approach Reggie.

"Hih!"

One of the approaching horsemen waves his sword down towards Reggie.

At the same time Reggie took it, there was a metal noise overhead that made her scared, and the tremor was transmitted to the horse.

At the same time the horse moved. While he was desperate to be shaken down by an inverted motion, the enemy was falling apart.

I don't know how, Reggie, but wow!

But I can't be surprised there. The horse starts running, trying to puncture the fallen enemy.

I was already pretty frightened around there.

We're all afraid that they might kill us, that they'll wield our swords, that we'll need them to escape but hurt them.

And I don't have the means to get away from it on my own.

All you can do is just stay out of Reggie's way. Actually, that's hard too. Because I'm putting a load on Reggie.

But the horse that ran out, he can stop at once.

Reggie meets the sword again. Besides, I was immediately pushed to a disadvantage. Because the other one turned to Reggie's left hand.

A man in front of me has let go of the knotted sword and pulled a horse one step and demanded of Reggie.

"I'll have that girl handed to me"

Looks like I was the target after all. Reggie responds to them immediately.

"Say no."

Two enemies who heard Reggie put up their swords immediately.

Reggie will be killed just like this. Remembering how Reggie in the game died, I rushed to try to stop him.

"No, you can't, Reggie! What would you do if you were dead? Help me..."

Reggie is a prince. If the inheritance dies, it becomes a serious problem.

Besides, this fight is irregular. It's not supposed to happen, what wouldn't have happened if I hadn't run away from school. That's why I don't know if Reggie can stay alive.

"You can't say anything about me, Chiara."

While Reggie saw the enemy, she put her strength into the hand she was turning on her hips to support me.

"You'd be my friend. If you don't want me to die, it's only natural to help."

Having heard Reggie's words, I fell into a feeling that I was going to hold my breath.

It's natural to help.

I don't want you to die.

While I'm stunned, my enemies are slaughtered. Over my head clinging to the horse again, the metal noise continued.

It feels like Reggie's painful voice made her heart twitch.

But I was just about to look up, and Reggie got cover.

Growl.

Make sure he's covered in his escort Growl, and Reggie makes the horse run again. Now there was no one to disturb my future.

Did putting him in help mean that Growl could also defeat one or two enemies? Wouldn't you still die alone?

When I began to be imprisoned by another fear, now it was time for my helpers to show up.

"Dear Reggie!

Three knights have seen me running horses screaming like that with the Wentworth and the others.

"I've left the back to Growl!

Reggie screamed briefly. That's it, they seem to have understood what needs to be done.

One horse takes Reggie's side, the other two run away.

This might help Growl too. Reggie can also escape safely to the castle.

I'm relieved, the moment I lose my mind, I'm about to lose my power out of my hand. But if I fall here, in case there are any other enemies, they'll kill me.

So I put up with it all the way inside the castle.

But you were too patient, this time I couldn't get my hands off the saddle, and I couldn't get off.

"Chiara, I can help you."

I noticed Reggie opening each finger with her hands.

Though I was finally able to let go, my hands tremble with too much force. Reggie put me down to hold me from my horse like that.

Though it was annoying all the time, it was the first battle with a sword that got caught up, and I was scared, and I appreciated the plumpness of that hand.

"Master Reggie, do you want to carry the lady?

That's what the knight who followed me asked me, but Reggie turned it down.

"No, more than that, I want you to call Borderline Uncle. And we need to search the perimeter. I was wondering if you could tell me to get people together."

Reggie, who told me so, takes me to the side of the flower bed that was close by.

If you sit down so that you can hold it, from the stables, you will be invisible thanks to the shrubs planted like partitions.

He also descended from the horse and came to an isolated place from the hustle and noise, and the tremor of his hands stopped one by one.

"How are you, calm down?

"Yeah...... thanks. But no, Reggie."

I told Reggie in a voice that would still tremble even though I was relieved.

"You mustn't shelter me. Leave me, just Reggie. Run away. Reggie is a prince, so she thinks of herself more than I do..."

"I can't do that, Chiara."

You should give priority to the life of Reggie, the prince, over yourself. That said, he rejected me.

"I told you. It would be a good idea for a friend to help."

"How did you get there?"

"... because I don't think anyone understands me better than you"

To Reggie's words, I understand what he's trying to say.

We remember that moment when we felt we could get through each other because we had difficult memories to understand.

To affirm that, Reggie said.

"There's no one who accepts what comes with ugly emotions, sighed into the depths of their hearts, even when they ask. So we just have to be vaguely cloudy and deluded. That's usually how you hold your mouth. But you even foresaw it and you told me, didn't you? 'You have an unfriendly family for Reggie, too,' he said. When I heard that, I felt like I was finally breathing."

So Reggie goes on.

Don't you think I don't want to lose you?

I couldn't say no.

But you took your own sword and you fought it, which means you let Reggie risk her life to help me.

How can I repay my gratitude for those who have done so? I can only think of enough to give my life back.

But...... scared.

"But I'm still wondering if I can risk my life for Reggie..."

I'm sorry, I accidentally reveal my feelings.

"Risk your life?

Because of that, Reggie seems to have noticed something.

"What do you mean, Chiara? You know, the way I put it now, it sounded like you thought things were gonna happen that you had to risk your life for, right? Why would you say that?

Reggie asks me to peek into my face. The expression made me feel a willingness not to allow my eyes to lie, even with kindness.

I couldn't get away with it, I felt. Even if he tried to hide it, Reggie would come after it until he was convinced.

But that's when I thought.

I was wondering if my head was better than risking my life. Besides, I couldn't wait to worry about it on my own.

"Listen, Reggie"

I told him.

"You can think of me, the eager followers of the Church or something. I can't tell you why, but I want you to hear what I learned in a dream world."

"A dream?"

"Two years from now, Reggie will probably decide to represent the king in negotiations with Salehard. You will come to this castle at that time. As a crossing point to a place to negotiate, to stay. That's when the army of Luain comes in."

"Two years later... Ruein?

Reggie has a surprised look that she doesn't understand.

Seeing it made me almost scared, but I put a lot of effort into my stomach and told the rest.

"That's when Reggie could be killed. But I don't know if I'm safe because I turned down a deputy. So watch out for the trend between Luain and the Queen. And come here. Then by two years from now... I think I'll be ready too. So that I can protect Reggie. But maybe I can't. Scared, so..."

"Wait, Chiara. Calm down. Did you dream? That was the dream I might be killed in two years, wasn't it?

I nodded.

At the same time, I felt the severity of my stomach shutting down. Now Reggie must have thought I was an avid Jeremiah ecclesiastical believer.

Jeremiah Ecclesiastical Church has a somewhat dreamy aspect, such as the priest's dream fortune being spoken as the voice of God, if he becomes an ardent believer. I'm pretty sure they thought I was one of those people who went too far.

But I couldn't find out Reggie's reaction.

Uncle Vayne and Wentworth and the others came after the news.

Reggie told me the situation on my behalf, and the Vain Border Uncles immediately left the spot to find Count Patriciere's subordination.

Reggie's escort, Growl, returns to be replaced, and Reggie follows the border uncles to talk with him about Count Patriciere's subordination.

And I was relieved that I didn't have to tell you everything.
