"Ali......"

Allie is staring at me with a worried look on her face.

"Oh, um... are you okay? Seems like a lot of things bothered me... and things didn't look the same."

Sure, I've been troubled since one incident with Karzal.

That's so much I can't see around you...

You worried about Allie a lot.

"Oh, Hal still comforted me. I didn't expect a day to come when Hal would comfort me. It's all right now. I'm sorry I bothered you."

I honestly apologized to Allie for worrying.

But Allie leans down.

And the look remains cloudy.

"Roy... I'm not very smart, and I can't tell you what I noticed. But, Roy, as your forgiving daughter-in-law... Yeah, Roy, I like you, so I want to help you out a little bit!

After a moment of silence, Ali raises her face and opens her mouth.

"So don't hold me in alone. Talk to me if anything happens? Roy, it's hard to see you troubled by yourself. I may not be able to do anything, but I'll do anything I can!

Allie hugged me and said so.

"... if you're at all distracted... well, you know, even if you do that..."

Allie speaks in the voice of the last one hearing or not.

Distracted? Is that what this is about?

"Oh, that's what a man would be distracted to do!?

When I think about it a little, Ali hates silence and connects words.

... Ok.

Is that what happened (...)?

I'm sure you said it around Sonin.

I've been in maiden mode lately.

But I didn't know you were pushing Ali until she made me say this...

"... it's okay, Allie. I don't want to distract you."

Hmm?

I'm upset, too, and I'm running a little confused.

Oh, shit!

"Well, that's what's important to both of us... huh? Let's get it right."

Shit...... it's getting weirder and weirder.

"... are you okay?

You don't think Allie is particularly weird, she's worried about me.

... maybe.

I'm starting to get confused because I'm a little upset.

"Ah. Thanks to Allie, I've solved a little problem. In fact, I was worried about the word Karzal told me: 'Why fight'. I guess I was somewhere else's genuine determination to say peace in the world. But I just realized. I'm right in front of you, Allie. To have a great future with you... and then I'll fight for our future children. And I will always protect Ali."

Ali opened her eyes for a moment and her face gradually became red.

"Uh-huh. Please."

Allie answers with a small voice and leans down to avoid showing a red face.

"Thank you, Allie. Let me do this for a little while."

When I said that, I embraced Ali.

"Ooh, ooh."

An important being in my arms (Allie).

I can't keep one of them. I can't keep the peace in the world.

It's because of my determination as a single man before a prince of a country or something like that.

Because small piles lead to big things.

Do what you can...

Maybe that's how Hal thought when he got the power, too.

It's not that easy to do, even if you're trying to make a big decision.

I guess it leads to a great deal of determination to shoulder the responsibilities that I feel and shoulder right now.

And then I see Ali in my arms.

Ali is so pretty to be lit up on the moon and night.

"Protect this irreplaceable being"

This is how I feel right now......

For the first time now I made my own determination and swore to my heart that I would protect it.
