Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen!

I accidentally pulled my lips together.

Mr. Cain sees through how I feel about avoiding him.

But I might not be able to be honest with you. For my sake, I wonder what a relaxed way to listen to you wanting to keep your distance and make your way out.

... maybe I wish I could have done more, like I've ever done.

But when I realized how I felt, I felt too close to Mr. Cain.

I have a strong memory of when I was still in captivity, and I'd like to be on Mr. Cain's side to reassure him that he would protect me even if I were on his side, but I didn't feel like I could hold hands because I'm not a real brother or sister.

Reggie told me she likes me, but if I'm too close to anything but him, I seem to be betraying that feeling.

But I hesitate to be honest.

Mr. Cain, who remains with the heartbroken wound of losing his family, is loathing his feelings by feeling like a family member about me.

Wouldn't you let it go? It may hurt me and make me feel harder feeling like I've lost more of it.

I don't want to see anyone treating me like my brother in such a painful way.

In the first place I was thinking of not telling Reggie right away, although I realized I liked him.

Because sometimes I feel uneasy for some reason, and no doubt Reggie will try to spoil me even more.

I thought the same thing when I realized how Mr. Cain felt.

That's why I think it might be okay to tell Reggie I like her and sweeten her, at least when the war is over and she can spare her mind, and I think we can discuss it calmly with Mr. Cain.

... Until then, there's no guarantee Reggie will wait for me.

Anyway, we have to cut through this place.

"Um, not like that... I saw something weird."

"Seen it?

"Um, I had a weird daydream... when I touched Princess Tsu"

Mr Cain showed an interest in this story, so I told him as he was.

If I had become a person on the queen's side, I would have daydreamed of.

"So it was Mr. Cain who was trying to convince me."

In that dream, the person Reggie told about me was Mr. Cain.

"But caught in the collapse of the earthly form..."

It was Mr. Cain who tried to make fun of me.

Why did you try to keep me alive like this? All I felt was despair, and I was about to be flabbergasted. If I hadn't walked with Reggie right after that, I might have behaved baffled and weird.

It's not what I did right now, but I'm sorry, it's hard.

"Really?"

Mr. Cain, who heard the story, looked a little contemplative.

"But why did you touch Princess Tsu and see something like that... don't you have any idea?

I shake my head to the side.

"You can't even imagine the sorcerer. I guess I'll just have to talk to Mr. Horace, thinking that all this is a hallucination and not feeling it. Whatever."

Mr. Cain breathed heavily and put his hand on my head, letting him smile slightly.

"I decided my heart, so I thought you wanted to leave me"

Deciding my mind means that I... decide who I think I like...?

"It was not until His Highness brought you back from the hands of his enemies that you were somewhat apart from me"

Mr. Cain puts his right hand on the wall, not holding my hand, to peek into my face.

"Didn't Your Highness confess?

... why did you do that?

A little bit, I didn't realize that I put my strength into the hand that was being held by Mr. Cain.

Regardless of me closing my mouth in trouble, Mr. Cain spoke.

"After you were imprisoned, I spoke to Your Highness. What Your Highness thinks of you… what I think of you"

Oh, yeah. What are you two talking about!?

Because it's about Reggie, I would have talked about it for a long time, and even Mr. Cain doesn't look like the type to pull in that case... oh, it really doesn't seem like it's about me, makes me dizzy.

He looked up at Mr. Cain in surprise, but he looked sober. I don't look particularly anxious or angry.

I thought so.

When I thought about what happened in Delphion and what I said before I had a slash with Isaac, I would have imagined you looked more... scary.

"I knew how His Highness felt from the beginning. I didn't hide anything from that one either. Instead, Chiara was trying to imagine it was something different."

"Ugh..."

My master pointed me out, and Reggie was trying not to be frank with me. Even more embarrassing now.

"That's how I got the chance to talk, thanks to Chiara."

"Mine?

Did I do anything to trigger the romance story?

"Chiara kept me alive."

Blink your eyes.

"You took it for granted, didn't you? That made me... think about the feelings of a sheltered family. I wanted to live against my family, but I was on the side of thinking so. But I was reminded that because of you, my family would want them to live."

Mr. Cain had a self-derisive grin on his mouth.

"The words of your family reminded me that Alan and His Royal Highness are also as important as family.... I still have my brother in my hand who I want to protect, and then I think my regrets for my lost family are faint"

I was relieved by the words.

If Mr. Cain felt any serenity, that would be the best thing to do.

But I felt like it and blurred, so, when Mr. Cain turned away. The reaction was delayed.

Oh, there wasn't either.

Because my lips touched my cheeks and by the time I was surprised, Mr. Cain had already let go of his face.

"At Delphion, I felt like if I lost you, I wouldn't have anything left in my hand anymore. But now, no matter what you choose, you can wait quietly for the answer. Bye."

Mr. Cain let go of my hand, which he was shaking, and walked away from the spot lightly.

I can only be dismayed.

I had a mess in my head with the shock of Mr. Cain kissing me on the cheek, and the shock of him poking me in the gap, and the shock that maybe it's because I'm meant to be my family or even Mr. Cain that I'm not disgusted after all.

Besides,

"As for choosing what... too?

I think so.

Did Mr. Cain notice anything about my feelings? Otherwise, I think it's a word I wouldn't say...... but I don't know. Maybe that's what I said because I was enlightened.

In the meantime, I decide to go inside the room because it's strange to be standing there all the time. For some reason it's hard to get power into my legs, and as I almost sat down, I finally moved around with my thoughts and took a breath through the door.

"Ukekekeke"

Right next to the door, he was laughed at by his master, who was listening.
