Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen!

I wish the scene had changed when I closed my eyes and slept, but reality doesn't either.

I had to sit still by the river with Reggie until I was promptly picked up.

... It was awkward.

'Cause I just got confessed. Besides, Reggie put the answer on hold because of me getting into it.

When I realized I was in love, I suddenly couldn't grasp the distance.

I'm sorry to lean on the feeling that I like you and sweeten you.

Because I'm the one who was afraid to be dumped and thought you might not be more afraid of friends or family frames. But I wonder if I can talk about it with that intention. Don't you hate Reggie for confessing?

Yeah, but you didn't refuse to kiss me. Me.

It's cozy to be hugged and hard to leave, though, from before. After all, this wasn't because I was relieved to think I was a guardian... of?

Consciousness made me embarrassed, but I either missed the recoil or I stayed still because it was hard to leave and I was about to cry.

Eventually Reggie said.

"Isn't it cold?

It's thin, so I think it's a little too cool. Because it's already past summer, and the temperature drops at night. But it's warm where it sticks to Reggie.

"It's not that cold."

And I said, "Can you stand up for once?" He said, "It makes me angry.

"Um, I'm sorry. It must have been heavy, right?

If you've had something heavy on your lap for a long time, your blood circulation should be worse. When I was in elementary school, sitting on your father's lap the whole time, I hurried down, remembering that I had a troubled face because my legs were numb.

"Chiara is a light thing. You fell asleep right after they caught you anyway, and you're not eating properly, are you? I guess I've lost more weight than before."

If they told me it wasn't heavy, I guess I'd be happy to flatter you, but it kind of embarrasses me when they say I look worried.

"But you fell asleep, how do you know that?

"I knew you were using magic more than usual. I hear you just treated Felix, but he looked worn out. Then he fights the sorcerer's devil and the Viscount, and he treats you to Wentworth.... I was worried."

"Yeah, sorry"

There was nothing I could do about it. No matter how many times I had the same eye, I knew I would fight, and I would have cured them both. But when I think I was making Reggie anxious, everything seems like an excuse, I just apologize.

"I wanted to ask you, by the way,"

Reggie changed the subject.

"Why are you dressed like this?

"Normal girls don't get away with sleeping clothes."

"He had his hands tied, and he knew you wouldn't stop."

Reggie's voice is slightly lower.

"Don't move, Chiara."

That said, Reggie tightly twisted me first with the green cape that was weaving me.

Besides, he didn't have the length and seemed ruthlessly unhappy not to wrap it up to his toes, but in that state Reggie sits holding me again.

Apparently, this is what he wanted me to stand up for.

"I can't believe I walk showing people my legs... I really hate to see this green, but you shouldn't catch a cold, so I'm just gonna have to put up with it."

Sigh.

"Yeah, but. I was exposed to my feet on the battlefield earlier."

White clothes instead of bedding were only as long as around the calf. I was supposed to expose myself under my knees because I was in charge of giving it to you or holding it by my side.

I just wanted to remind you of that and say it's not like I care.

To be honest, this was a silence.

"Shouldn't you be reminding me of that? Because it makes me want to erase the memories of the Growls."

"Wah, Wakarimashita"

Reggie's gaze is cold...... Even I feel frightened.

But I did just declare I'd say it all, and Reggie seemed to start telling me what she thought.

It kind of warmed my heart to be silent and to feel like I was going through it, but I don't hate it when you tell me what you think, but I'm afraid of those eyes.

While I was doing that, you picked me up.

The exit made by the dirt rat was decided, so the recovery unit must have been rushed quickly, too.

"Thank you for waiting, Your Highness."

It was Reggie's knight, Dior, who led the way by about twenty horsemen. He had an empty horse.

Reggie, who welcomed them a little further away by letting me sit alone, apparently decided to ride that horse because he was not injured.

but before that, I told Mr. Dior and the others.

"Do you have a blanket or something?

"I've loaded it instead of a stretcher in case"

"Let me definitely use it"

That said Reggie wrapped me around when she received the blanket. Securely to the tip of the foot. I can't even move anymore. I feel like I'm packed.

As it was, Reggie took me back to the fort with her luggage.

Alan and the others, who welcomed Reggie because of him, asked Reggie with a very sad voice.

"Hey...... no way Reggie. Chiara is in such a state that she cannot be shown..."

"So cheerful, it's like I was using magic"

I heard you were with me. I panicked at Mr. Emeline's, sparing words.

Wait, I'm alive!?

"No, you're gonna live, right?

My master put a scratch on me. I'm glad my master is safe and sound. Someone must have recovered it safely. Thank you.

Of those, there seemed to be the calmest.

"I'm sure Your Highness just doesn't want to show it. 'Cause I say it was a little outfit to worry about the outside world."

"... that's it, Wentworth. Did you ask Growl? Can someone call Growl for a second?

Reggie says that in a slightly lower voice, but I wasn't quite there.

"Mr. Cain, it's Mr. Cain!

I want to see my face properly. I heard you were safe, and I can hear you, but I can't feel safe without seeing your healthy face.

'Cause the last time I saw it, it was Mr. Bloody Cain, who was dying and passed out.

Has the injury healed? No sequelae or anything?

I'm tempted to know, but I can't move my arm with a wrapped blanket. Besides, Reggie won't let me loose. I'm not ashamed I showed you my face!

I had no choice but to shake my head in the headbanking instructions and say, "Hey, Chiara!?" "Are you a monster!?" "It's creepy like a potato bug," he finally looked as he was told around him.

"Mr. Cain, are you all right!?

It's night, so there's a bonfire burning around the fort.

In the red light, Mr. Cain stood firmly on his feet alongside Alan on his face.

"Thanks to you"

Mr. Cain, who looked up at me on the horse and answered me, looks like he has no scratches or anything. As before, I was relieved.

"Thanks to Mr. Chiara, I was able to survive. It's nice to be able to thank you."

"Still, it's only yesterday that you can wake up, you. Get some rest. I'm dying."

But when Alan says he's holding his master, Mr. Cain only laughs a little bitterly like he heard something hurting in his ear.

"I wonder if we can do something about Chiara for now, Miss Emeline. Do you have any spare clothes?

Mr. Emeline, who was next to Alan, nods.

"I didn't lose that much of my load in the last fight, so I have what I was bringing in reserve. Let's just carry it. Somebody read the soldier..."

The moment I heard Mr. Emeline's last words, I thought I might be able to hold him by a stranger and I almost shrunk myself by accident.

I know I'm on your side. But there are too many things, and I'm afraid to be touched when I can't move freely.

Reggie then offered Mr. Cain a minnow state of me.

"I only wear thin ones to prevent escape. No shoes."

"So is it in this state? I understand why."

Mr. Cain, who received it, seemed convinced by the reason I looked like a minotaur.

"No, I had shoes, but I just took them off in the way to use magic..."

When I accidentally explained it, Reggie put my forehead on me.

"I know it was an emergency, but it was actually pretty poisonous to the eye, Chiara"

"Out of the way!?

I get stunned because I haven't had as much experience being told that my appearance is poisonous to my eyes.

"I was angry that the man who looked closely at your toes was there besides me, wasn't he?

Reggie laughed and waved at me for saying such a thing to chase me.

"Well, I'll take care of it. Alan, I need to know what happened after the fight."

"Ah...... yeah. That's how I gather the generals.... but you've lost your temper."

"Isn't it you who made me blow it off, Alan?"

Reggie got off the horse, and Alan and I walked away.
