39 Consideration of the reincarnation princess. (6)

After worrying, I decided to favor the two.

There is puzzlement. But the most important thing now is a way to make sure you get the medicine, rather than my little conflict.

I decided not to be lost.

I asked them to cooperate, and I left Julius's residence.

On the return carriage, I was eager to persuade Mikhail this time. However, the important Mikhail is the sky above.

If you talk, they will reply, but they are not here. His face, looking down and silent, seemed to be thinking.

The hand that strokes the black cat on his lap is gentle, but dim. Occasionally, the cat's fur was turned upside down, and the black cat's tail shook with Pasin each time.

It seems that Mikhail helped the black cat to go to , and his beast bitten his leg, making him unable to move, and crouching in the middle of the road. He decided to take first aid and take him home, but he was a very calm child.

The hand you stroked mistakes the eye measurement and does not bite even if you touch the tail. I just stopped protesting.

"... Mikhail?"

"... hmm, yes."

"I don't want to stroke it, the cat says."

"Eh! I'm sorry."

Tell Mikhail who raised her face as if it had been flipped.

He apologized with a disgusted face after comparing me and the cat. When I gently stroked, "I'm sorry for you," the black cat narrowed his eyes and shouted, as if saying that he would forgive him.

"Are you worried about something? I'll ask if I'm good."

"Princess……"

While watching Mikhail's sunken face, such words slip from my mouth.

You can talk to him for a short time before you reach the Great Temple. I can't afford to talk differently.

If I do not persuade Mikhail here, in the near future he may go on a journey around the country. And you may die in a shrine that you drop in on the way, and the Devil may take over the body.

I knew it wasn't enough to take Mikhail's worries, even though I knew it.

I don't want to cut it off if it's trivial compared to the resurrection of the Demon King. Because I don't know anything about him. The life of Mikhail von Diebold, which was almost silent in the game.

Silence falls. Only the sound of the wheels running on the cobblestones rattled.

The terrified lips hesitate and bite. Mikhail paused for a while, not opening his mouth, and opened his mouth.

"... Why are you ... Why is the princess so strong?"

In the words of Mikhail, I round my eyes.

Why are you strong ... Is me strong in the first place?

It's very subtle as a compliment to a woman, but I don't think it's offensive.

But the question comes up. Because I never felt myself strong.

"Is it strong?"

When asked, Mikhail nodded with Kokuri. It's like a young child.

The desire for protection sprang up, and the child became in touch with the baby.

"Can I ask why you think so?"

He nodded again with unreliable eyes.

"... The princess just said that helping people is not an obligation, even if they have the power and money. You don't have to feel embarrassing because each one has something to protect."

"Yes"

Hit a hammer to encourage continuation of the story.

"You don't force others to do anything, even though you don't say that you have it, so let's divide it into those who don't, or that you're strong and protect the weak .... … You are naturally trying to act as a princess. "

Mikhail speaks tauntly. He is so fluent that he thinks his communication was a performance a few hours ago.

If you aren't conscious, you can talk normally. I'm conscious of my worries, so I'm not nervous.

He looked up, but he looked up. My desperate eyes, sadly, reflected me.

"Why do you like and aren't born into a princess, why can you take it like that, and do you want to escape or throw it out?"

"Oh, I think."

"Why don't you get lost ...?"

Mikhail, who was swiftly swaying as if he did not ask for a reply, stopped saying whether he understood my answer.

The stunned expression was sorry but something strange, and I told again with a laugh.

"Sometimes I want to throw it out.

"Eh, ah ... is that obvious?"

"Yes"

A long single eye blinks many times.

It was quite surprising for Mikhail. I smile with a straightforward eye that conveys my embarrassment without hiding.

"I'm an imperfect person. No matter how well I'm blessed, there are days when I feel very cramped in my life today. I want to take off my elaborate dress and run barefoot on the meadow with a cotton dress. "

"The princess ..."

Mikhail muttered stunned.

"It's not because I'm a respectable princess that I just don't think I'm going to do it. I'm just going to face it because it's necessary for the future I want."

Free has its own price.

Immediate desire and future stability. The choice is yours. The lessons learned, like Ali and Grasshopper, tend to be right, but there is no real answer.

"If you want to escape from something, imagine it. Choose between gaining and losing where you escaped."

Look at Mikhail's eyes from the front and tell him. The choice is yours.

Mikhail nodded with Kokuri, silently thinking about something until the carriage came to the Great Temple.

At the time of the goodbye, something utterly gazed at me, but Mikhail spoke only a common goodbye greeting.

After all, I couldn't persuade at all.

But to the child who is so worried, do this, I couldn't say that was useless.

"I think it is good"

A short time from the Great Temple to the castle. Alone in the carriage.

Looking at my reflection, Leonhardt said that.

"It looks timid, but he's probably stubborn. He wouldn't nod if he tried to stop for good reason."

I nodded and agreed with Leonhard's words.

Even during the game, there was enough energy to jump out of the Great Temple to help people. Even if it seems easy to be washed away, the core is a strong person.

"And his troubles aren't necessarily completely unrelated. There's no doubt that he wants to help people, but he's confused. "

"That's fine, but ..."

With a restless feeling, I answered vaguely.

Stroke the black coat on your knee with your fingertips. The black cat, which I decided to take over for Mikhail, who lives in the temple, throbbed with a sullen mood.

"It's okay"

"!"

A quiet voice tells you.

When you raise your face unintentionally, your eyes match with Leonhardt-sama. With quiet eyes, he laughed gently to dispel my fears.

"A man is much more bold and simple than you think. A pretty girl younger than you is walking forward with strong beliefs and goals, but with a vague way to go. I will not imitate it like that. ''

"Leonhard-sama ..."

"OK, you're not wrong"

It's all right and you lose your strength from your stiff body.

My fear was like Leonhardt. He looked at me as he exhaled, and squinted further.

This person is really good at my treatment.

It doesn't feel like you're rolling on your palm, but it doesn't matter.

I was told that it was all right and finally realized that I was not alone.

Because I hadn't been able to talk to anyone until now, I had no choice but to move forward. Okay, even if I repeat that it's not wrong, after all I'm talking alone.

The same words, but others ... no. Just because Leonhardt tells me, it's so safe.

"Thank you"

I muttered, biting the happiness that was lit in the back of my chest. Yes, Leonhardt's voice was very soft.
