261 I was worried about the reincarnation princess.

Assemble the plan in your head, looking at Theo's smile.

We don't have enough time to work on the draft while talking to Theo.If you sew between studies, the time will vary, and it doesn't necessarily mean that Theo and I are on schedule.

Besides, I don't think we'll be able to catch up in a short time.

And I don't think my father would be more convinced by a presentation finished with such a piercing work.

You can easily draw a picture in your head that says, "Come out again."

I imagined my face as stupid as it was, until I was thrust back at the paperwork.

... hah, no, no.

Even though I'm just delusional, I'm getting very angry.Even if you imagine it as close to the correct answer as possible, it's not real, yet.

It depends on my presentation.

".... All right."

Clench your fists.

If you don't have time, you have to make it.

Let's get rid of the studying energy first.If I worked hard to advance, I could secure a stuck time.

Then I'll talk to the Kuar grandfathers who are going to be involved in medical research.I'm not familiar with laboratory equipment, so I want to know how it works.You don't even need to introduce me to an expert... wait.If it's Julius, you have a hand.

While I was thinking, I was excited.

Even if I'm busy, I feel like I can do my best if my goals are clear.

Theo, let's do our best together.

Yes.

While having such a conversation, the door of the break room opened a little roughly.

Surprised by the sound, Theo and I turn to you at the same time.Then, Lutz, who ran or breathed on his shoulder, stood at the door.

Even though there is sweat on my forehead, my face looks terrible.

Faded Lutz looked at me and Theo alternately.

"...... Lutz?"

Lutz turns his face away from my gaze when he calls it with the meaning of asking what's wrong.And for some reason, I glanced at Theo with sharp eyes.

"I just met my master and listened to him."...... the other day, did you mean it? "

There was a strong reproachful tone.

Without paying attention to Lutz's attitude, which was even quarrelsome, Theo responds with a calm voice, “Oh,” briefly.

"I'm serious, I just told the princess."

"Oh! Theo, you..."

Breathing in, Lutz approaches Theo with a rough footsteps and grabs his chest.

A chair in which Theo was sitting caught on his feet and fell down, and a flashy sound resounded in the room.I took control of Klaus, who stepped into the room instantly.

I told her I was okay, but I wasn't.

Honestly, understanding can't keep up. But right now, I don't think it's okay to break between two people who seem to be bumping into each other in earnest and stop talking.

Theo faces Lutz without even waving his hand to grab the chest.

"Do you really think that such a childish dream story will come true?"Anyway, if you are a mage of the Earth class, how do you think we can help people with our abilities? "

"Lutz"

"Even if I talked to you about that, it would only embarrass the princess."Even though you seem to be busy, there's no point in it anymore... "

Lutz!

Theo called out to block out Lutz, staring straight into his eyes.

"The princess accepted."

"... what about you?"

With a single beat, Lutz let out a dumb voice.

"... Actually, I thought it would only bother me."But the princess listened to me and told me that I was the only one who could do it. "

"No, that's not it..."

Lutz gazes at Theo, who speaks decisively, as if he is lost.

Can't you believe it or don't you want to believe it?When I saw the upset Lutz, my heart broke.

Lutz and Theo have always lived together.Not only because they grew up in the same nursing home and workplaces are together, but also because of such corrupt connotations, but also because they are connected in a deeper place.

Whether it was persecuted by a peculiar constitution with magic power, or abducted by Skeleton's schemes, we have overcome it together.

Brothers and best friends, rivals who can compete with each other.

There is a bond between the two of them that cannot be expressed by the word "partner" alone.

But now they stood at a turning point.

And depending on the choice, you will go a different way.

Until now, there will be no one around.How delicate and lonely it is.I can't imagine.

"There is a possibility to use my abilities in the laboratory attached to the medical facility."... I might be able to use my strength to keep you alive, not to kill you. "

That said, Theo takes Lutz's hand off his chest.I didn't have any more strength, so I just took off.

To Lutz, who looked like he was in trouble, Theo lowered his eyebrows.

"... I should have shown you that I'm more serious."I didn't think it would come true, so I couldn't even open my heart and talk to you. I'm sorry. "

Lutz's shoulders twitch as Theo lowers his head.

"But today, the princess believed in my possibilities, which I didn't believe myself."That's why I'll stop worrying about the golden wheel. "

"Theo..."

Lutz's eyebrows twitched as he stared at Theo's serious face.

Lutz leaned down, hiding his face like a child just before he started crying.

”... that's how you got away from me”

"Lutz..."

With neither the princess nor Theo gone, I'll be left as a child forever.

"Lutz! That's it!"

"No," she shouted unintentionally.I was watching as though I shouldn't have broken into it, but I couldn't keep silent with such an unbearable murmur.

"Neither Theo nor I want to leave you."I just don't want to decide your future on my own

If Lutz and Theo could help us, how reliable would it be?

I had expectations for my ability as a mage, but that wasn't all.It would be very reassuring if my friend who has been with me since I was a child could help me.

But if you say it out loud, I'll decide the future of Lutz.Induce him to narrow his choices, if not directly.

That's why Theo came to negotiate with me on his own.

I'm sure Theo doesn't want to leave Lutz.

I also really like the time when the three of us talk about each other uncompassionately.

I wonder how to put it into words.

Do you want me to make up my own mind or is it for you?When I tried to say it, it immediately faded and I don't feel like it would arrive properly.

Lutz keeps his mind shut while he's bothered like that.

"Enough. Leave me alone."

Lutz!

Lutz turned away and left the break room.

Theo's gaze pushes his back as he stands up reflectively.

“Maybe you're in the shade of a tree in the corner of the greenhouse.He's always squatting there when he's depressed. "

"... can I go?"

I heard it with the meaning that it would be easier for a brother like Theo to talk.

Theo then nodded.

"Please go."

Theo laughed at the face of his brother, who worried about his brother.
