"... ah... where are we...?
"Merrill, are you okay?!
"Don't you feel sick!?
I'll interrupt my introduction and send a line of sight to Merrill.
"... was cut by a monster... and then... the prince... kissed me...///"
"... are you sure you're okay... you didn't hit your head...?
Do you remember Tanya staring at Merrill like a poor girl... the prince...
"Meryl, be careful! That's about right, but it's partially beautified!
Lily was swimming while passing the water. She drank the water she had received and took a breath. She turned to me...
"... prince...///"
No, I'm not breathing. More water!
"They helped us! Um... I haven't heard your name yet..."
I woke up and stopped introducing myself...
"I'm handsome. I'm seventeen. I'm single."
Bessi
"What an appeal! Stay with me!
I got hit in the knee and got mad...
"I'm Luna, Toshi's wife!
Luna's so sensitive... she declared herself single...
"... Toshi-sama...//"
"Can I call you Toshi-kun...///"
"Older! I thought it was lower... Toshi-san...///"
Luna's wife was declared through.
"Gunu... well, is that better?
Luna starts talking.
Merrill, about your current condition.
Huh? Yes.
"It's important, if you two don't want me to ask you, why don't we just get out of here?
"Um... it's okay, even if Tanya and Lily ask..."
"Really? Then let's get started."
I'm thrilled... you said it was a contract risk...
"Now Merrill is on a contract with Toshi, and if the contract expires, the wound will open and he will die soon."
"The contract? If it expires, you die?
"Yeah, I'm living with Toshi's skills now, and if the contract expires, or if Toshi dies, you die, too."
…
Shit... it's more risky than I thought... if the contract expires, the scratches will open...
"Oh, my God! If I die, so will Merrill!
"Yes, if Toshi dies, me and Merrill will die."
To Luna...
"And Toshi can't destroy the contract, only the other side, that is, we can."
It's not a busy contract that can only be broken from one side.
"What happens to Luna if she destroys it?
"When I signed up, I wasn't hurt, so I couldn't help it."
"Bye!" No!
Why!
"I will never break a contract! Nobody saw you, bullied you, trapped you in a place like that... I finally found you! If you get me out of here, I'll give you everything... that's why! I will never destroy it!
"... and yet I..."
"Thank you... do you hate me?
"You can't hate it! It's still a short time since we met, but Luna decided I'd protect her!
"Then it's no problem, I like toshi, toshi protects me... and if I don't have a contract, I don't care if I die."
"... how did you get so far..."
It's a secret.
I don't think it's a good idea, but I can't think of any reason why I should break the contract...
"Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! All right, all right! I won't tell you to throw it away! I'll do my best not to make you think you shouldn't have made a deal with me!!!!!
"I'll do my best to make a deal with me... Toshi... always together///"
