"Leon ...?"
Gently, I was embarrassed and I was puzzled.
"Princess, I'm ..."
Leonhardt said something, but his voice was interrupted unnaturally. The following words disappear without being a sound. Leonhard, deeply wrinkled in his brow, seemed desperately looking for words.
But in the end, he didn't come up with a good word, and he always has a good attitude. He turned his eyes down and shook his head lightly.
Looking at it, I thought Leonhardt was trying to comfort me. He cares for me lamenting his tattered hands.
It's a kind person.
Even if my hands are tattered, you have no responsibility.
"It's okay. Actually, I don't care too much, so I didn't care, so I felt sorry."
I said so and smiled bitterly. But soon after, I realized I had failed.
I wanted you to laugh, but if you talk about such a masochistic thing, gentle Leonhard would surely be in trouble.
"That's not it!"
"...?"
Leonhard denied the voice in a rough way. I am pressured by that momentum and make my body stiff and vibrant.
Looking at me, he gasped as if he had returned.
"I'm sorry ... I don't want to scare you."
Leonhardt squeezes his voice painfully with a regrettable expression.
I bit my lips and shook my head slowly. I don't want you to make such a face.
“…………”
Temporary silence.
Pep, and Leonhardt laughed as he exhaled.
Lower your eyebrows and make yourself a little mockery. The unusual but slightly loose expression made me loose my shoulders. Hold hands and laugh with each other's faces.
"I'm a miserable man. I was so scared of hurting you that I was worried that I was sick and ended up making you uneasy. "
"Yes"
"If you feel any hurt in my words, would you please tell me?"
"Yes"
When he nodded honestly, Leonhard breathed relief.
Oh, I'm glad I'm thinking I'm in trouble. I'm so dear that you'll be swung by my every move.
Leonhardt scoops up my left hand and rubs his thumb wound.
"... a new scar."
"Um. It's cooking ... I've seen some extra things while peeling vegetables."
"This is?"
A big scar running on the turned palm. However, since it is a shallow wound, it has already disappeared.
"Oh, that's a village of the Kuah tribe, gathering medicine ingredients. The leaves were sharp."
"Is this ... a burn?"
The end of the right hand, near the wrist. Leonhardt noticed the spot that was slightly reddish.
"When I was mixing the medicinal water, I bounced a little, but it was just a little bit."
Follow each wound with your finger to confirm Leonhardt.
He was sorry for his worried face, but he didn't stop checking.
"Princess. I don't want you to be hurt."
"Leon ..."
"But I can't say I didn't hurt if I was nearby."
I guess this should be cool. With that said, Leon laughs to soften the place. With a face that contains a little pain and bitterness.
"Because you'll be doing the same no matter who you are near."
I could not say it was different.
Even if Leonhardt is around, I can't just leave everything to be quiet. I would not be able to forgive me.
"I can't stop you and I don't want to stop you from rushing to help someone. So princess. That's the only word I want to tell you."
“…………”
I was silent and waited for Leonhard's words to continue.
I am ready to be angry. I acted on my own and was just unreasonable. As a result, various things flowed in a good direction, but if I made a mistake, I might not have had my own life.
If I have a thing, I'm annoying various people. It's not a problem that you have to get it yourself.
… Oh, but. What if you don't even get angry?
If it's okay, what should I do if I'm pushed away
I have a bad imagination, I don't know, and my fingertips have strength.
I closed my eyes and bit my lips.
"well done"
"…………e?"
I didn't know what was said for a moment.
I felt so different from my imagination that I felt like a foreign language. I opened my eyes and looked up at Leonhardt's face.
Leonhardt was smiling.
Gentle eyes that do not include fine dust such as resignation and disappointment.
"I don't know the details of your journey, but you can see this hand."
Hands of hardworking people. With that said, Leonhard gently wraps my hand in her big hands.
The heat from the hard palm warmed my intense hands.
The heat that has permeated me melts all over my body.
Tension, strength, and everything else. Only melted, peeled, and only me was left.
Only me who likes Leonhardt on the level of being sad, ugly and pulling.
"I know it's too insensitive to be proud of a woman's wounds ... but please don't be ashamed of this hand."
"... Tattered, but?"
I tried to laugh and my voice shook.
The back of the nose is flat. My eyes hurt.
"... Tattered"
Leonhard nodded small.
"A precious and beautiful hand to me."
“…………”
The moment I heard that word, my tear glands broke.
Leonhardt panicks when she sees me tearing big tears.
"Princess ... I'm sorry"
"Is it different ..."
I shake my head and squeeze out the screaming voice.
I'm terrible with my nose. But I don't want to be misunderstood, so I have to say it.
"I'm happy"
I saw Leonhardt with his eyes rounded in the field of vision bleeding with tears.
After a few blinks, he squints gently. The growing hand gently stroked my head.
Oh, it was good.
I really liked this person.
