I’m growing thoughts in my brain, and a small voice talks to me.
“I wonder if I’ll remember if I find my name.”
I made eye contact with Dranste.
“The reason I became like this.”
Something tacky grabs my heart.
So this is what it feels like to watch someone who lost their memory. I wish I knew all of his past so that I could tell him…but that would be difficult. Looking at it like this, the Dranste seems a little different. I smiled as pretty as I could.
“You’ll remember. I’m sure you’ll find it. And I can help you if you want.”
I was just trying to be friendly, but when he heard it, Dranste frowned.
“You?”
Hey, I’m trying to help you!
He bursts into laughter as he sees my face.
“Don’t laugh!”
I tried my best not to make him not laugh, but it didn’t work at all. Oh, come on!
Even if I learned about his past, he’s still annoying. I want to hit him once. As I stare at him, he finally stops laughing. Hey, it’s too late.
Next time, I won’t ever say that I’ll do something with you again! But Dranste put his hand on my head.
“Thank you.”
…huh? What did I just hear?
I thought I would never hear that word from Dranste, so I was so startled that I inadvertently took a step back. What, what is it?
“You’re the first human to say something like that…in fact, this is the first time I’ve talked about this at all.”
Somehow Dranste coughs in vain with a shy face. It was my first time seeing him like this, so It felt really weird. Who’s this again? He’s not the guy I know.
But the face that soon calmed down and looked at me was the face I knew. He suddenly looks at me and smiles. I looked at him with a sullen look, and he said,
“If I ever am able to choose my master once more…I will become your sword and protect you.”
I’ve been offered protection before, but it feels different to hear it like this. Before, I didn’t know he was a sword…
Anyway, you want to be my sword? But I don’t use it.
I thought he was joking, but his eyes on me are stern.
…He’s being serious.
Well, if he’s a sword that can hide himself like this, that means Dranste might actually be more powerful than I thought. He hasn’t collected all his pieces yet, but I hope he does one day.
“And, you want me to marry you?”
“Will you?”
A usual conversation we have.
And I naturally pulled out his hand.
“Get lost.”
