「…It’s really nice to be able to eat Satsuki-san’s cake at this time.」(Ginka)

「I think Satsuki-san handed me the cakes in anticipation of this.」(Arge)

We are having tea indoor while facing each other.

Ginka-san, Shion-san, and me.

After being invited to the afternoon tea, I decided to use the cake that I had received from Satsuki-san and stored in the Blood Box.

「Hmm… this is delicious!

What is this!」(Shion)

「Shion. It’s a cake

The sweets that my acquaintance makes… someday, I’ll take you there too」(Ginka)

「Ehehe, then after everything is over.

I’m looking forward to it!」(Shion)

What Shion-san was happily eating was the chocolate cake.

I’ve eaten it once, it’s very moist and sweet.

… As expected, she doesn’t know much about that.

An artificial spirit created as a weapon by a reincarnated person from the Kuon family. That is Shion-san.

Pretty much everything she sees is the first experience for her.

「…To be honest, it’s been very helpful to have you girls」(Ginka)

「…Ha~a, thank you」(Arge)

Ginka-san thankfully bowed to me and I felt a little embarrassed.

I felt a little difficult to deal with this silver hair half-elf.

…Well, I know what she meant.

Acting together with the Rebels and taking down the Imperial City at once.

After everything was decided, we had a preparation period.

Of course, it means to readjust your strength and to act moderately in order not to be found by the empire.

The rebels are responsible for the activities at the front (Bait).

Ginka-san’s group will act as a trump card.

Of course, it’s something that I also want.

Since it’s possible to press the most troublesome part to others, I really very welcome it.

However, I also thought my part isn’t enough, so I decided to help a little.

「I never thought you could use such great recovery magic」(Ginka)

「I can heal anyone as long as they aren’t dead.

If everyone can come home properly then it will be great.」(Arge)

「Some of them are ready to die for the great cause, Arge-chan.

Thank you for helping me out there.」(Ginka)

「……It looks like so」(Arge)

At first, I was surprised when they took me to the place where the injured people were gathered.

People were cursed, wounded, ill, etc. It was a terrible situation and they seemed unable to heal properly.

As they were all gathered, I healed them all together. Everyone was surprised.

「And now, many people treat you like an Angel on the battlefield.」(Ginka)

「I’m a bit reluctant though…」(Arge)

Samaka-san once told me about this “becoming a tool of war” thing.

Even though I refused the King, I have gone and done it myself.

But I couldn’t just ignore them.

I couldn’t bear looking at everyone’s face twisted in pain and their moan. I thought I should do something.

「In addition, I think other people are more helpful」(Arge)

Aoba-san is contributing by supplementing food and herbs with her ability.

She products fruits, vegetables, then distribute to those who lost their places due to the war and somewhat satisfy their hunger.

Some people also start to join rebellions. It’s not a complete charity, though.

She can grow both medicinal herbs and poisonous plants.

Aoba-san seems to be useful in many ways.

Felnote-san and Richelle-san are mainly asked for combat tips.

Some people in the Rebels can speak ancient spiritual languages, and it seems that they have no problem communicating with Richelle-san.

Felnote-san is pretty much a celebrity. It seems that there are quite a lot of people who want her to teach them about sword skills.

Kuzuha-chan used her ability to the fullest, such as hunting and carrying goods, etc.

「Meanwhile, I’m only good at getting sleepy」(Arge)

Unlike me, who just want to take a nap after doing something.

Everyone else is trying to help out as much as they can.

Compared to all of them, what I’m doing is insignificant.

「There are no such things.」(Ginka)

「That’s not true」(Shion)

The two shouted a clear denial and I’m confused.

Looking at me with my eyes opened in surprise, the two smiled softly.

「You don’t have to compare with anyone.

You are you. And you are already helping people properly.

Above all… you say you’re getting sleepy, but if something happens, you’ll always wake up」(Ginka)

「That’s just… I can’t sleep if the surroundings are noisy」(Arge)

「And also, you’re worried about others. Arge-chan is a caring child」(Shion)

「Uhm… yes, is that so? I’m not sure」(Arge)

I remember Ryuko-chan who was taking care of me in the place where I used to live on Earth.

Their personalities are completely different, but she and these two always gave me a straightforward and positive answer no matter how much I deny myself.

Satsuki-san and Kuzuha-chan are also the same.

Everybody tells me that I’m a good person and they need me.

I didn’t think about it in the previous life,

As if running away, I talked.

「…It’s about someone else but you two say it quite confidently.」(Arge)

「Because that’s you who I believe.

No matter how you think of yourself, I still consider you a good person.

That’s why… Thank you, Arge」(Ginka)

「Yes.

Thank you, Arge-chan.

Really, I was able to meet people with good color」(Shion)

「U… than… thank you」(Arge)

I don’t think I hate it, but when they are talking like, my pace got disturbed.

If I’m in trouble with how to reply, Ginka-san speaks while looking down at her teacup.

「And because I am the same」(Ginka)

「Eh…?」(Arge)

「No matter how beautiful words I say to justify myself, my skills are just for murder after all.

Miyama’s house is an old samurai lineage in the Republic, some of my clan have served in the Yotsuba Parliament」(Ginka)

I thought that she might be from the republic, the place with many similar words to the Earth how her name sounds like a Japanese name. And it seems to be correct.

Ginka-san continues to speak while eating the cheesecake.

「I didn’t regret learning those skills. But I could only see the technique as a killing method.

That’s why I refused to use that power. And then I wandered around… until I met Shion.」(Ginka)

「Me too, I didn’t know how to live.

I was born as a weapon, but I didn’t want to kill anyone…

But my father told me that I was born for that purpose」(Shion)

「Everyone called me either a sword or a murder tool and only Shion called me her prince」(Ginka)

「Everyone called me a weapon but Ginka-san called me her princess」(Shion)

「Ah…」(Arge)

I’m not the only one who hates their own selves.

They told me so as they looking me and nodded.

「I don’t care if I can’t define myself」(Ginka)

「However, she said that my existence is salvation even if I didn’t recognize it myself… I think you will realize it someday」(Shion)

「After all, my skill is a means to that end, the power to stop the Empire.

If I don’t keep the empire quiet, Shion won’t feel relieved.」(Ginka)

Laughing selfishly, Ginka-san cuts the cake and puts it on Shion-san’s plate.

Shion-san also cut half of her cake and handed it to Ginka-san’s plate.

「When we get sick and when we are healthy」(Shion)

「Negative and positive, pain and joy」(Ginka)

「By sharing everything in this way, we are alive」(Shion)

「That’s what we decided that day.

We did everything with the two of us」(Ginka)

「…Is that so」(Arge)

Somehow, I could feel the depth of the connection between the two.

Attract to each other, the two held hands.

They have told me much secret information they couldn’t tell people about.

They may have decided to use everything.

From how they told me, Shion-san and Ginka-san must feel disturbed with their power.

But they don’t care if it’s right or wrong, they are just doing this for each other.

「…Arge-chan too.

If you don’t recognize yourself, first believe in everyone who acknowledges you.」(Shion)

「I was told something similar」(Arge)

Iris, an employee of the coffee shop Satsuki and my senior vampire.

To her advice that I could rely on others, I don’t think I can respond with pride.

Even so, when I watched Ginka-san and Shion-san, I felt I could understand the meaning of relying on someone.
