210 – You can’t put that seat
At my words, Lane’s face hardened.
“Did I say something wrong?”
I am proud
It is my opinion that even if I sympathize with Lane, I have no intention of giving up my will in the first place.
“Isn’t it the right relationship to repay trust with trust?”
“It is, but… .”
“If it’s an excuse, I’ll decline.”
I asked Lane carefully as I poured the ice water in front of me down my throat.
“What do you want to do with me?”
“I want to date.”
At my words, Lane with serious eyes looked at me and slowly listed her dreams.
“I want to go on a date in a relaxed way, and I want to wake up in the same room every day and live happily just the two of us. It doesn’t matter what the house looks like. Rather, I also have a dream of living in a small cabin where only the two of us can live.”
Rain, who was looking at me with eyes overflowing with affection rather than madness like before, opened his mouth.
“After a leisurely relationship, I want to have a small wedding ceremony with friends and family in a small church, then go on a honeymoon and spend a hot first night.”
That’s how I silently listened to Lane’s dream.
What do you want to do?
where do you want to go
From such a small wish to how many children you want.
While silently listening to Lane’s desire, I only looked at Lane for this moment.
“And I want to live until I’m 120 and die together. I want to end the rest of my life like that without getting sick.”
As I listened to Lane’s story that lasted for about two hours, all the people around me had disappeared before I knew it.
That’s right, everyone must have run away when Lane’s attention was focused on me while everyone was trying to run away from the first time Rain radiated magic.
“… Are you saying you want to do all the things you want to talk about with me?”
“Yes, there are some that are a bit greedy, so I’m thinking of adapting it to you, but… If possible, I want to live my life according to my plan.”
After staring at the now empty water cup, he raised his head and looked at Lane, lightly asking a question.
“Is that story only between me and Rain?”
“Ah, I think so. I forgot about the others because it was a story of a dream.”
It’s probably something I did unconsciously, but I think maybe, as Lianne said, the part of Lane’s nature stuck out its head.
That’s what you call monopoly.
“Rain, there’s a high chance that your wish won’t come true.”
“Well, yes. Now, I thought it might be a bit overkill.”
As he said that, a lot of regret flowed from Lane’s face. And as the dark light slowly drifted from his eyes, he showed signs of returning to his former mood.
“So what?”
“What?”
“I don’t think I can satisfy your desire… What do you want to do?”
The answer here is important.
To be honest, if you say you’re going to hurt an important person like Rianne or Minel here, I’m in a lot of trouble.
If it has reached that level, it is not a level that I can do alone.
You should go to a proper psychiatrist and get a diagnosis… There is no other way.
From a powerless aspect, I have high stats, but there are a lot of things I can’t do either.
In particular, mental counseling is something that most priests or people who can understand someone’s heart can do… It’s not something I can do.
“I… .”
In the middle of my heart being held by Lane’s words.
turd… turd… .
The sound of distant footsteps brought Lane and my gaze together.
Seeing Hestia approaching me with an innocent expression, her hair shining bright red in the evening sunset, I hurriedly checked Lane’s complexion.
“what… .”
Rain, with a slightly hardened expression, stared at Hestia, who ran toward me from afar with a bright smile.
“that person… is that person? A woman who used the same fire as the young master.”
“okay. The goddess Hestia… .”
“Lian!”
I stared at Hestia, frightened by the weight I felt behind my back, and suddenly tried to ask what she was doing, but Lane took the words away first.
“What are you doing?”
“yes?”
Despite Lane’s slightly sharp answer, Hestia tilted her head as if she didn’t know what it meant, looked at Lane, then turned her gaze and leaned against me as she spoke.
“Lian, I saw the wolf’s liver and gallbladder over there, let’s go eat together!!”
Ignoring Lane’s words lightly and talking to me, Lane’s eyes, which were already cold, turned even darker.
“Hey, can’t you hear me?”
“No, are you listening?”
“… Then why did you ignore my words and talk to the young master?”
“Isn’t that why I have nothing to say to you?”
Even though I was surprised by the answer without hesitation, what was even more surprising was that I didn’t feel even a fragment of malice at all.
“I came to hang out with Lian? I didn’t come to talk to you.”
I was startled by Hestia’s way of talking to Rain and tried to stop it, but before that, magic trickled out from Rain’s body.
“… You are a fox.”
“fox?”
“Yes, a vixen trying to bewitch the young master.”
As she said that, as the color of magic gradually flowed from Rain’s body, Hestia lightly lifted her hand and stretched out her hand towards the magic flowing from Rain’s body.
“This is dangerous.”
As he said that, the pure white torch that flowed out in an instant circled around Lane, consuming his mana.
“Ugh!?”
Surprised when the mana was suddenly consumed by the torch, Lane pulled himself out, but the torch digested the red magic of the rain scattered in the air as if not to let go of such a lane.
“What?!”
“it’s okay. You won’t get hurt.”
It seems that the temperature of the torch is being adjusted so that it is not too hot.
“What is this!!”
“Don’t run amok.”
Saying that, Hestia lightly waved her hand in the air.
The torch, which moves according to Hestia’s touch, immediately presses the top of Rain’s head and leads him to the floor.
“Ugh!!!”
The torch has no mass.
Even though this is no different from other flames, just like it is possible to make the surroundings heavy by concentrating magic normally, it seems that a similar thing can be done with a holy fire, and it is suppressed by the holy fire.
It seems that Reign struggles in his own way, but… .
“Well… Why are you struggling so much?”
As my status increased, it was not enough to deal with Hestia, who had a level of deity similar to that of a top-level deity.
“Hestia. Can you release that?”
“yes? Will you attack again?”
“it’s okay.”
While patting Hestia’s head lightly, I approached Lane, who was crushed on the floor, and Lane let out a rough breath and stared at me.
“it’s okay?”
“… Yes, what the hell is that woman anyway.”
Ask what, not who… .
“Isn’t there something I need to do before that?”
“Something.”
what is it Of course, what to do now is decided.
“I have to apologize to Hestia.”
“Me?”
Confused by Lane’s way of speaking as if he didn’t know why he had to apologize seriously, he spoke to Lane in the softest voice possible.
“You were trying to attack Hestia, right?”
“That’s right, she’s a vixen who tried to bewitch the young master.”
“A vixen… Rain, how long are you going to treat everyone like this, calling her a vixen whenever another woman approaches?”
“Yes, of course.”
maybe you did something wrong
No, the problem is serious for Rain at the point where he doesn’t feel any guilt for trying to hurt Hestia before that.
With Rain’s magical power, ordinary people die easily.
No, even if Rain is not strong, ordinary people will die with a short dagger.
If there is no hesitation in continuing to hurt others in this way, it will be impossible to go somewhere with Rain anymore.
And if it gets worse and worse if left unattended, it will surely affect Minel, Rianne, and Ciel, who said they don’t care now.
“Rain, if you keep going like that, I have no choice but to use tough measures.”
I really hate to do this.
I want to live happily with everyone.
I want to live happily with Rain, and I want to live happily with Rianne.
Ciel, Minel, and Ariane all want to live happily as a family.
Everyone is ‘equal’.
“What are you talking about?”
I intend to give all opportunities equally… It’s obvious that this will never happen.
“If you keep acting like that, even if others admit it, I can’t accept you as my true wife.”
