“Thank you, Ex.”

“You’re welcome”

“Rescue Luka from Rabbit-sama.” That’s it! What about Mother Rabbit? I felt a little chilly.

When I was thinking about that, Luka’s expression gradually became displeased for some reason.

“…you didn’t come to help me, what the hell were you doing with Amin?”

“Uh. They were attacked by the Hanitra people earlier. I was the one who tried to make a sacrifice. Um, don’t look so worried, in the end we settled with money.”

“For some reason, I had to falteringly explain.”

“I’m not that bad.”

“Why didn’t you give it back?”

“It’s like an unrewarded hero.” Is this the responsibility of those with power?

“My power isn’t good for people. I made an adult choice that wouldn’t hurt anyone.”

I didn’t expect Luka to be able to understand me, and what I got back was an insult.

I couldn’t take my eyes off Luka’s painful expression, almost crying.

“stupid”

“Huh?”

“Why is that expression on your face?”

“Why do you always sacrifice yourself? Criminals don’t need mercy.”

“…but. If we talk properly, we should be able to understand each other.”

“Because you’re human.”

“No. Animals can’t speak. Remember, have you ever been able to communicate with someone who’s done something terrible to you?”

“Ugh”

“A bitter blow.”

“It’s true, I’ve never had a conversation with someone who acted unreasonably towards me.”

“You’re in trouble,” Luka smiled with an older sister-like expression.

“Okay. If someone comes to hurt you, I’ll help you, no matter what the cost.”

I was horrified by the tragic resolution in those eyes.

“I realized my earlier mistake.”

“An adult choice that won’t hurt anyone?”

“I’m stupid.”

“Hurting yourself and almost hurting Luka as a result.” Isn’t that such a sunny and shitty choice?

“I’m begging you. You should take care of yourself more.”

“…yes”

“I can’t escape from Luka’s gaze.”

Those clear, beautiful eyes reflect only me in this world.

“Remember, I need you, so I won’t let you leave me for another woman. Please, don’t leave me alone.”

“My shoulders are trembling slightly.”

Really. I was worried.

“I’m sorry.”

“I wonder what’s the right way to comfort her at times like this.” Come to think of it, the senpai who was with me in the forest guard once said something like, “If a man and a woman quarrel, just apologize and embrace them, and they’ll make up”?

“Don’t make Luka cry anymore”

“Is it like this?” I hugged him tightly.

I can feel Ruka’s high body temperature.

“Eh, Ex. So suddenly. I don’t mind it, but I’m mentally prepared. I just brushed my teeth, but I’m relaxed about my underwear today. Oh, already.”

“The good smell makes me dizzy.” Luka’s ears turn bright red and he hears a rapid heartbeat. I should have listened to the advice of my seniors.

it’s happiness.

“I want to extend this happiness.”

…But what has been bothering me for a while is the two words “preparation” that Luka said. It’s like there’s more to come after this. it’s not there. No plan.

Luka closed his eyes and acted as if he was waiting for something.

? ? ?

“Do you want to sleep?”

different. Probably not. Think better.

“But I didn’t know there was a continuation to that story.”

It is useless. I can’t find an answer, and maybe I’ve run out of numbness, and the sweet air disappears.

When I thought that Luca was trembling and her eyebrows were wrinkled, Dan! and stepped on.

“Ouch! Luca, what are you doing?”

When I jumped up with teary eyes, Luka was irritated with a tear-dried face.

“Why are you not doing anything??”

“I feel like I can see flames swaying from my back.” Hey. How can you get angry without doing anything?

“Uh, what should I have done?”

When I timidly asked him a question, his face changed from angry to surprised, and then he began to fidget. Ummm.

“That’s, uh, uh, think about that for yourself. Ex idiot.”

and. Luka, whose face turned bright red, ran away like a rabbit.

… what was that?

“But thank you for being mad at me.” The chain of the false image of an adult that had bound me was snapped off. The world begins to change.

“It seems that I haven’t taken care of myself until now.” Were you longing to be an adult and not facing yourself?

“I can’t stand it anymore.”

“Let’s face ourselves first.”

After returning to his room and locking it, he took a deep breath and meditated.

He speaks to the emptiness of his own half.

“He is my darkness.”

“Are you happy with your life?”

“No”

“It was unexpected.”

“It seems that he really doesn’t know anything about himself.”

I was somewhat conceited, thinking that the sailors would be satisfied with the life that they all said they didn’t want to go back to their country, and the days of fun events.

“Is there anything you want me to do? What do you want?”

“But…”

“What the hell.” Are you afraid to say what you want?

“I’m sorry for making you do bad things until now.” I’m sorry I made you eat Gelomaz. Sorry for making you apologize even though it wasn’t bad. Sorry for making you work until you collapse.

“I’m sorry for hurting you.”

that’s why.

“Tell me, I’ll make it happen next time.”

“Really?”

“I don’t know much about Hollow.”

According to one theory, he wishes for mass slaughter and the end of the world.

“But I won’t run away.”

“I admit my emptiness.”

“Yes. I promise.”

“Thank you. Yakusoku”

“Whether evil or demons will appear.”

The die was thrown.

“Here, a new contract has been concluded!”

“What do you want?”

“Slime Pillow”

! ?

…my emptiness.

“That’s fine.”

“I do what I want to do, even if it’s silly by other people’s standards.”

“I decided! I’m going back to town.”

“All that’s left now is to prevent a war from happening.”
