Louis, whose eyes remained firmly meditated without strength, was all I could do was cling to him and cry.

Your body is chilled out by fear and despair, and your lips tremble.But I can't afford to worry about that right now.

--As it stands... Louis-sama...

It feels like you're surrounded by darkness in front of you, and you're unconsciously gaining power.Your consciousness is blurred and your mind is screaming.

But then...

Stop it.

With a strong grip on my shoulders, my levitating consciousness returns and I look up.There were wrinkles between his eyebrows, and Theodore looked more severe than ever.

"It's full of magic."

"Dear Theodore..."

"Use that power to break Louis' body.If you use all that power, Miss Rachel won't be alone. "

"... then, how... how will Louis-sama wake me up..."

Theodore further deepened the wrinkles between his eyebrows, closed his eyes and shook his neck sideways.

--Nah... no!Even Mr. Theodore can't do anything?

"That's... that's a lie... isn't it?Louis, wake up.Why don't you get up and come home with me?

"... Miss Rachel"

"If you stay by my side forever... if you stay with me... hey, Louis.Louis-sama..... "

I shake my shoulders gently with a smile that Louis always said I liked.I'm sure I haven't been able to make a good smile right now, but if Louis-sama still reacts a little.I'll do anything if it's possible.

Louis hugged me whenever I felt painful.

You stood by me when I was in pain.

With you, I was able to be strong.With you, I was able to stand up straight at all times.

I love you.Only Louis.

So....

"Please, please... wake up.Open your eyes. "

Hold Louis' hand firmly with both hands and rub his forehead to pray.

But Louis, who lay still with his eyes firmly meditated, never smiled at me as usual.They don't stare at me in a dazzling way.

He neither shook his shoulders and laughed aloud, nor called my name "Rachel" with a passing voice.

However, close your eyes to sleep deeply and do not even shake your eyelashes on your own.

No, no... please don't take Louis.Don't take it from me.

The fear of losing Louis leaned on Louis' chest without even hearing the voices around him.Then the token and the heart sound resonate in my ear.

Though weak and slow, Louis is alive at this moment.

I'm desperately trying to live.

"No, I don't want to.I can't believe I can't do anything like this.That's a lie. After all, Louis-sama... still...

Theodore... Ricardo... something... can you help Louis? "

"... I'm sorry..."

His Highness Ricardo grieved with his tight lips.However, without being able to say such a laborious word to His Highness Ricardo, I fell without strength.

I went back to the past and started my life over.I fell in love knowing the face of Louis, whom I had never wanted to see before.At the same time, I learned the breadth and beauty of the world.I was able to receive protection from the Spirit King of Darkness.

Even though I've got so much new life that I've never had before, I can't even beat the power of just one irreplaceable lover.

I can't protect one of my loved ones... I wonder why they have magic.

I have felt my helplessness many times, but have I ever been so angry with myself?

After I stared at my trembling hands, I covered my face with them.Can you help Louis somehow?

Please. Please help me.And you can only hope for a miracle.

"Louis, why...It is bad to always try to do something by yourself.Who's gonna protect Miss Rachel when you're gone?Who will enrich the country?You're still here, aren't you?Nothing has started.Your happiness will continue, won't it?The wedding with Miss Rachel is coming up.I could say you're designing a dress again.... and blessed with lots of kids, and lots of grandchildren.My face and yours are wrinkled and my hair turns white. "

Theodore crouches down on the opposite side of the bed where I sit and peeks into Louis' face.I can't stand the sound of Theodore's voice talking gently despite his painful and somehow regrettable expression.

"Life wasn't so bad, even if I became a grandfather, I would slap my mouth together.When that happens, you'll finally be picked up.... not now.Hey, come home.Without you..... "

Theodore's voice gradually narrowed, and the word "I'm lonely", which was muttered at the end, may have been heard only by me.

The plea from my best friend was empty, and Louis never even moved a finger.Theodore firmly gripped his fist to endure, and said, "I'm sorry.Remove slightly, "he said, leaving his seat at a cluttered step with his face down.

Soon there were no more people around me.I heard His Highness Ricardo paying the bill from behind.But I couldn't afford to be distracted by it now.

Kuro was licking his forehead as he screamed sadly without leaving Louis-sama's pillow.

I don't know how long it has been.Is it a few seconds or a few minutes?Or more. The only voice in the room that can only call Louis' name like my scream echoes.

There is even a feeling of being dragged into the darkness with a feeling of helplessness and despair.

Only Louis' warmth will support it.

If you lose it, you don't even know what happens to you.I don't even want to think about it.

At that time, Kuro moved his ears and jumped out of the bed with piong.Lift your eyelids so they don't open well that you're at the edge of your vision.

Then I saw someone standing ahead of Kuro.

Slowly raise your gaze.

There was a man who could not have been here, sitting gently in his chair.He smiled happily at me as I opened my eyes to the extreme and lost my voice in dismay.

Well, I came to pick you up.It's time for a fun game. "

The person in front of him snapped his fingers lightly when he said so with a bright voice that did not match the air on the spot.

He was undoubtedly the Spirit King of Darkness, who emitted the same overwhelming presence as when he met him in that forest.
