Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen!

It was Reggie's room that was taken.

"I'm going to tell you a secret story, so will you please refrain?

Mr. Growl thanked Reggie for his words. As it was, the door closed with the nose tip of Mr. Cain, who seemed to have no choice.

Just before closing, I felt like I heard multiple sighs.

Reggie, who moved on to the center of the room, places an order with Colin, the squire who was there.

"I'm fine with the water, can you bring it? It could be a long story, so take your time around the fort."

"Uh... I understand that"

Colin leaves the room bewildered.

That's how in the room alone, Reggie sits in a chair.

Prince's. Though he sleeps in, the fort room is a terribly simple one. It's not that different from the room I rent. There are four elegant rectangular tables of wood and chairs that even civilians with backs are likely to use.

I just sat down, so I guess you're going to tell Reggie.

I said why not, but if you try to calm down, I know why Reggie went unscrupulous.

Circumstances where I can't use magic as much as I think. That there will be more magician sloppiness in the enemy's power and that the Ice Foxes alone will not be able to cover it.

It wasn't surprising that Reggie, who, while leading the soldiers, also needed to protect them in order to prevent wear and tear, sought other means.

Settling down while I walked this far, I was remembering something more to check on first.

"Reggie, can I see what's going on?

"Fine."

Reggie, who responded, rolled up my shirt arm when I took off my cape or jacket and put it on the table unwrought.

There were red and black marks on his arms, like a crawl of tsubaki. It's painful, like the one Tsu scratched and engraved.

"Is this what happened?"

He also asked for it without knowing what would happen to him. Wouldn't that be too thoughtful?

"Doesn't it hurt?

"Still a little tingly, though."

Reggie smiles and shows, but she doesn't look good.

Because I'm useless. At the expense of the dirt rats, Mr. Growl and the others got help until they put him in danger, but in the end, I can't even lighten Reggie's burden.

Pathetically, I can't say anything more, and my vision creeps in.

Reggie's fingers wiped her eyes off before tears spilled.

"Don't cry, Chiara. It's not like this happened because of you."

Relieve me of the kind words. Reggie easily disturbed me, and I thought she would reassure me.

"This in itself is meant to reduce my burden."

"Burden?"

"If there's just a spark scattered from your fingertips, you don't have to worry so much about it. Because I have been plagued with heat from time to time since the sand of the stone of the covenant entered. Princess Tsukuba has created a path that dissipates without straining her body."

"Along these marks, magic flows?

"That's what he said. So it seems that magic has less influence on other parts of the body, which makes it easier."

I did say then that it would be easier.

"So what makes you say you can use the magic of the stones of the covenant that have entered your body?

"We can gather magic from one place, so it seems we can do something like a little trick."

I turn my eyes full of disbelief to Reggie.

If that's all it takes, Reggie won't keep it from me. There's got to be some kind of story that I'm going out of my way to pull this far.

"Princess Tsu told you something else, didn't she? If it wasn't, you could have said it to some extent on that spot, right?

When pursued, Reggie sighs.

"I put my time aside, so I thought you'd like that... Was it difficult"

Was that the prospect after all?

"Princess Tsubaki taught me how to make tricks more than tricks."

"... you didn't tell me because that's a dangerous thing?

"It depends on how far you can stand it," he said.

If they say that, Reggie will never make it to the end of the line. I guess I'm going to. Because he's the one who kept hiding even his illness.

"I guess that doesn't mean it could be unbearable.... Hopefully, I don't want you to use that method, Reggie"

Reggie told me to control my words, which I feared I would try to stop.

"But I think Princess Tsubaki needed it so she could use it."

"Because you need it?

"She said she changed your fate. That's what bothers me so much."

Sure, I was wondering what that meant, too.

I thought I had escaped from what would happen by remembering my previous life and the game myself. I first met Princess Tsubaki after that.

And that's where I recall.

The stone of the covenant that Princess Tsu gave me. Without that, I couldn't have been a magician.

Reggie could have been killed, as could Uncle Vain.

So is it true that Princess Tsu 'changed her destiny'?

Speaking of my thoughts, Reggie nodded.

"Princess Tsu may be someone who sees the future"

"But wait. Even if I could use witchcraft so that I could see the future... Normally, my master said I could only use one type of witchcraft. Two kinds at best. Princess Tsu is one kind of manipulating Tsu. If you can use magic or something else that you can see in the future, and you suddenly come and disappear, it's something you can only do with magic."

"By impossible, I don't mean absolutely not. That Chiara has memories of her past life, that's impossible, right?

"Yeah......"

Even someone who can use three sorceries could be there. That's undeniable.

Nod to me, Reggie told me.

"The princess Tsubaki said it. He said if you pass your magic through me, you can sift through the power of magic. [M] Of course, it turns into my attribute, so I can't make earthlings."

If so, will you use my magic to use the magic of thunder? My master activated the wind magic in the same way, so I would be able to...

"I want to do everything I can. It will take back Falgia... and defeat the Viscounts so they can protect you."

"So you don't have to sacrifice even Reggie herself."

"What about you?

That's what I said. Reggie grabbed my hand and tried to wrap it up with both hands.

"You use magic to try to help me, even if you cut yourself. I always thought, even if I could undo it. I don't think I've offered you anything worthy of your sacrifice."

"That's not true. Reggie's giving me a lot of things."

I never thought of anything worthy of sacrifice or demanding such a hard thing. I'm just glad that's all you have to accept.

Because you like me and you do.

"Not long ago, Wentworth told me. If I don't want you to be impotent, I want you to protect me."

"Huh...?

What do you mean, if I protect Reggie, I'll stop being impotent?

Reggie laughs bitterly at me for not knowing what it means.

"I guess it's because we can't give up protecting each other, but rejecting each other makes it a vicious circle. I think Wentworth said that too. But if you want to protect me, including me, I need your help."

I opened my eyes.

Reggie asked me to cooperate directly from the front.

I'm glad. But if we cooperate, Reggie could be in danger. So I can't stop, I'm anxious and I can't wait.

"I hope you do the addition and subtraction. Probably not for me. Besides, wouldn't it be easier for you to stay on your side and take the lead?

That's what I said and smiled at Reggie, and I couldn't get an answer right away... and I got sick of it.
