Chapter 102 20.

Then an hour later.

The two men were in a bailout warehouse.Borrowed from the salvation home for the stage, there are various stage tools, including the box of props that I just rented.

"I can't find it...."

"I can't find it...."

The two sighed simultaneously in the warehouse.It was already dark outside, and the stars began to blink.At this rate, you'll eat up the dorm dinner.

"Speaking of which, you.Don't you want to hear it? "

"What are you doing?

Stop what you're looking for and she turns to Ain.He also looked at Cecilia, and his gaze was tangled.

"Why is Zwei so afraid of the blade?"

"Will you tell me?

"If it's you, I can tell you."

Cecilia blinked her eyes to a small voice that could not reach or reach her ears.

"Anyway, you. You don't even have a head to use for weird things!

"Is that maybe... being denigrated?

Fuck you.

Hmm?

I'm praising you.

Cecilia opened her eyes to the blurring but definitely said so.

Ain lost sight of her in surprise and bit her lower lip.

He killed my mother right in front of me.

Huh?

"You know how twins hate 'Devil's Child' in our neighborhood?

Ah, yeah.

That's what Zwei told me.When Ain and Zwei were born, their parents were forced by their people to 'kill either'.

"Dad and Mom were embarrassed, and for a while they were gone.But.... "

One night, Cuddy Miland, who had a reputation for being more religious than anyone else, broke into the Mansion with a blade.Cuddy was a street martin for the Machias family and said no one suspected entering the premises without permission.

Cuddy tells the trees and breaks into Zwei's room.It seems that Mrs Machias was reading a picture book in Zwei's room at that time, and she was killed when she received a caddy blade to protect him.

"Since then, Zwei has been afraid of blades.Probably always thought he should have died, not his mother. "

"Oh no...."

Cecilia loses her words to a spectacular past.It would be a shock just to have my mother killed in front of me, but it was too spicy to think about it... because it protected me.

(But I see, so....)

Did Grace tell you she didn't want to tell you?

If someone knew such a secret without knowing it, it certainly wouldn't feel good.

"When you get this power.We shared a lot.But no matter how much he says, he won't share what happened then. "

Ain strokes the silver bracelet wrapped around his hand.

"We're alone."

I guess that's how I've lived all my life.Hold each other back.Look at the same thing, feel the same thing, carry the same suffering.

But there is only one important memory that he can't share, and I'm sure he feels guilty that he can't carry the weight together.

Cecilia thinks a little and opens her mouth as she stares a little further away.

You're both strong.

Hmm?

"If I were you, I might not be able to share such painful memories with you.I don't think I can carry it on my own from a Zwei standpoint..... "

"Only Zwei is strong.I'm not carrying anything after all. "

"Yeah, no matter what anyone says, Ain is strong!He's so strong, he's about to kick me in the face trying to protect Zwei!

"You...."

If you say it now, his eyes will be half-eyed.

Cecilia smiled at him with a gaze.

"It must have been hard for Ain to see your mother die, right?And yet, you think about Zwei first and try to protect yourself.No matter what you think, Ain is strong!

……

"I've never lost my family.I've been apart, so I can't even say "I understand," but I can imagine how it feels. "

At the end of my life, it was more difficult to see my family and friends than to disappear from the world.Without saying anything, I had to go to a distance where I could never see my loved ones again, and I couldn't help it.

Farewell to death is lonely, painful, and cute for those who must be left behind and those who are left behind.

"I knew it. Ain is working really hard!

His cheeks become bright red when he reveals his honest feelings.And for some reason, he turned away from Cecilia with a look of regret.

"Don't suddenly treat me like I'm younger!

"Eh? I was treating younger people!?"

"I was!... unconscious."

As she roared, Cecilia shouted in a hurry: "I'm sorry."She wanders her gaze at his expression, which does not heal even after receiving the apology.

(Could it hurt your feelings!? I didn't mean to treat you like a younger person.)

After seeing Cecilia in a hurry, Ain took a long breath.Then, a little louder than before, so as to switch the atmosphere.

"More than that, let's find the brooch."

"Ah, yeah!" Ahhhhhh!! "

To Cecilia, pointing out behind Ain in a loud voice, he looks back at both ears and says, "What is it!?"

"Look! There it is!

"What about it?"

"Over there!

"Ah...."

Zwei's brooch was in a box containing imitations of precious metals.Someone must have picked up his brooch by mistake.

Cecilia reached out to pick up the box on the shelf.

At that moment, the pain that pulled on my shoulder ran.

─!

Does it still hurt?

"Ah, yeah. Just a little bit."

Cecilia lowers the box as Ain follows her.

"Sorry. Well, then, everyday life is hard, isn't it?

"That's not true.I can move a lot now!It's just a little high.--I knew it!

……

"Ain! There it is."

Cecilia offers a brooch in front of Ain with a happy face.But he grabbed Cecilia's shoulders without dropping his eyes on it.

"... I take responsibility."

Hmm?

"I'll take responsibility."

Cecilia has such a bad feeling about Ain's words.

"I'll take care of college life and support from tomorrow."
