Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen!

That was after treating Mr. Felix's burns.

Fort's courtyard...... but it's just a place with muddy soil, but as I walked through it, the gate was more bothered.

"Is it an enemy?

Ask Mr. Cain, who was with you, or you can't tell because you've been acting with me the whole time.

"Shall we go"

That's what Mr. Cain says and offers me his left hand.

I grab that sleeve a little. Mr. Cain knew it would happen, and he offered his hand to make it easy to grasp.

I'm still anxious to walk around, and if this was Mr. Gina or Mr. Emeline, I might have stuck around.

But I can't do that to Mr. Cain. And the two girls are keeping busy right now.

When I got lost, I grabbed the cape and Cain looked in trouble.

I was told not to hold hands, but I can't do that privately.

... Except when you're being handled in luggage or in need and towed, but only because you're scared of the people around you is to connect your hands with someone who knows who you like but has a crush on you...

That's why we compromised on each other by grabbing our sleeves.

Though it's not a big fort, travel takes time there. Mr. Cain snapped at me as I walked.

"I kind of miss you"

……

"My brother was walking around grabbing his sleeve like this."

Mr. Cain's face, who said so, had a milder look than when he had been talking about his family before. Yet

"Next time, let His Highness do the same"

Boosh and some anxious words were added......

Oh, why would you let Reggie imitate you like a child? Harassment?

Walking away with his neck hanging over wondering if anything had happened between them, I found Mr. Chester, Alan's knight, near the gate. He noticed this one before Mr. Cain spoke up.

"Wentworth, are you playing like a duck parent or child?

Ya, there's a real reason for this, but I'm embarrassed to say it, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

"More than that, did you get caught up in any enemies?

Mr. Cain listens carefully and asks questions.

"You're really not funny. Not the enemy. Your Royal Highness is going outside."

"For what? Your Highness won't have to go on perimeter alert."

Then Mr. Chester asks for a moment and moves away from people. As I followed him, I heard a leak sneaking into Mr. Cain's ear.

"Dior... Ts... come..."

That alone showed me the approximate.

Princess Tsu? Princess Tsu is here?

If Princess Tsu, who hates people and only meets little kids, wonders why, her master, who was lowering to her waist, laughs "hiccup".

"I guess I got a reply."

"Master, do you know what's going on?

"About the prince's ill health. Because I don't know, did you recommend contacting anyone who could ask? So for your magic reference, just follow me and ask."

"I will! Mr. Cain, I'd like to chase you!

If you ask for it quickly, Mr. Cain gets a sinister look.

"Mr. Horace......"

"Hiccup"

The master laughs again.

"There's nothing you can hide from this girl, if you have to convince her to come straight from the front."

I guess I didn't think I had a choice but to be revealed so far, Mr. Cain was sighing and talking to Mr. Chester to lend me a few soldiers. In the middle of a chase, I guess it's because I thought I'd have trouble getting attacked again.

Even as for me, that scares me, so I waited a long time before leaving.

Reggie wasn't so far away. In the woods a few minutes from the fort, there are soldiers that Reggie must have brought, as well as Reggie's knights.

Or the moment you saw me, Mr. Lars tied Reggie's knight tea long hair to make me look like, "Wow, I'm here."

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pull it off because Reggie's not going to try to hide it.

"Excuse me, where is Your Highness?

"... over there, my magician."

Mr. Lars gave up early and pointed to the tip of the tree.

Pond or fountain? Before that, Reggie and Princess Tsu are definitely there.

If you were surprised that you hadn't changed at all from before, then suddenly Reggie knelt on the spot when you thought you accidentally felt a wave of magic.

"Huh!?

What's that? Princess Tsu did something to Reggie?

The Lars still didn't rush over to Reggie. I'm sure they're telling you not to come no matter what. Mr. Growl, who is also on Reggie's side, lifted his arms down like a grate, but he doesn't move.

But I couldn't stand it.

"Reggie!"

Finally, I let go of Mr. Cain's sleeve and run to the princesses. Mr. Cain is being held back by Mr. Lars.

When I got to Reggie's side, Reggie looked back and smiled with a troubled face.

"I didn't think you'd find out so soon."

After all, he acted in silence to me and Mr. Cain on purpose.

"Why did you keep it to yourself?

"Cakera the stone of the covenant"

It was Princess Tsu who answered.

"You asked me how to do something about it. But I don't know how to get rid of it.

I used a way to get a little better. "

I felt a wave of magic earlier because of it, it seemed. Reggie is also nodding, so what Princess Tsu said would be true......

"Reggie's body makes it easier, doesn't it?

"If only we were adults."

Does that mean we have to be adults?

So Reggie, who finally stood up, asked Princess Tsu.

"Let me ask you one thing. How can you help us? It's not whimsical, is it? You were aggressive with Chiara from the start, even though you avoided contact with others so much that rumors of hatred arose. Did you also give him the stone of the covenant because you knew Chiara had the qualities to be the same sorcerer?

Then Princess Tsu glanced up at the edge of her mouth.

"No one understands the qualities. It's just... I'm the one who changed this kid's destiny for the better and the worse."

"Mine, destiny?

"I knew your fate and I put my hands on it to change it."

I wonder what that means.

Put your hands on fate? But it was before I met Princess Tsubaki that I ran away trying to avoid my destiny to die as an enemy of Alan and the others. Even though she has no responsibility.

"It's not the time to talk about it yet. But let me tell you something that's going to end up like that."

Princess Tsubaki then spoke as if she were an old story.

"... there was a child born with silver hair beside the royal family of Falgia. She was supposed to be offered as a royal bride sooner or later, at the king's command, fearing that her blood would fade"

Reggie listens to Princess Tsu, who even speaks.

"But the king ordered his parents to hand over the girl at the price of letting a certain sorcerer cooperate. The girl, who was thus made a magician, met a royal woman who had been similarly sighted. I hear the woman was eliminated by the king. I was interrupted, so the magician gave it to me."

Is it the story of the time when the king of Falgia was making a deal with the sorcerer?

Even when Reggie asked me to look for a magician, he said he was already missing a connection, so maybe it's really an old story.

Reggie whispered to me, guessing so.

"Until my grandfather's generation, there were signs of using a magician. I don't think my uncle was available for the war because he didn't know the price or the identity of the sorcerer that generations of kings had promised the sorcerer."

Tell me, I think so. But the fact that he was sacrificing royal children... is kind of a horrible story.

"Why did the sorcerer want the Falgian royal family?"

"... the Falgian royalty was thought to be prone to becoming a magician. In fact, the odds didn't seem the same with the people in Ichii. And the king has left the magician's assumptions behind because as soon as he sacrifices something other than his own, his dealings with the magician will soon be in the light."

Princess Tsu, who answered, breathes deeply.

"The girl managed to escape with the help of that woman who had been made a magician. The woman who helped me killed herself because she only wanted to refuse to be used. But even the girl who escaped, if she approached the sorcerer, the master, she would be irreversible. So I searched for a way to escape and caged myself in the woods. So I found a stone of a contract the size of which is unlikely to be found in a forest fountain. By the way, I knew she was in the woods, and I was able to get rid of the nearest magician."

Forest, as soon as I hear of it, I associate Princess Tsu with herself.

So she can't get out of that forest? Behind that forest, is there a big contract stone? But it was a long time ago. She should have lived there a long time ago.

It seems Princess Tsubaki has finished talking to me about getting confused.

"Now the story is over here. Here comes the limit."

"Limits?"

It was me who listened back, but Princess Tsubaki's limitations soon began to be visible in my eyes as well.

Princess Tsu's appearance began to fade.

Silver hair begins to lose its contour one by one. White skin and the clothes you are wearing also go so clear that you can see little by little what the pond looks like over there.

"What's the limit, Princess Tsu is gone?

No way it's gonna disappear completely like this? Princess Tsubaki laughs at me for thinking so and turning bright blue.

"It's a little different. I only moved here for a moment.... Yeah, I'll tell you right now, get away with it. The prince asked me to use the magic of the covenant stone that entered his body."

"Princess Tsu!

Reggie made a tough voice, so I figured it was true.

"What are you doing, Reggie, how could you do that!?

Looking up at Reggie and saying, he distracted himself from me. In the meantime, Princess Tsu fades away more and more, becoming as thin as a picture painted on thin silk.

"We'll talk about it... then."

"Please put it back, Princess Tsubaki!

"Huh... no, Chiara!

I grabbed it anywhere and tried to hold it back. All my fingers touched like that was a dark misty feeling.

As soon as Princess Tsu cautioned with a sharp voice - I felt something pouring into me.
