"Uncle Ahem!

"Dahlia!"

A tight hug of Dahlia jumping on that neck, Mr. Giotto was crying. On its head, I don't see that funny black mushroom anymore. When you look around, something is dropping white and dry.

"That's what fangas looks like."

Pong, and when his hands were placed on his head and he looked up, there was Mr. Ceres with a serene expression.

"Se, mr. Les……………"

"Sorry, you surprised me, didn't you? But we'll talk later. Mr. Giotto, we will return once and for all. I'll ask again in the morning because I'm disturbing Mr. Romina."

"Thanks, you guys! Thank you... what a thank you."

"Thank you, Lucia!

Ms. Giotto, who sneezes all over her face, bows deeply while holding Dahlia.

"Let's go back. We need to talk."

It's connected. Mr. Ceres' hands, unlike earlier, were warm.

"Lucia, I'm mad"

"……… Yes"

When Mr. Ceres was taken to step into the barn of Mr. Romina's house, he was told the most about the opening.

"You are too low on self-esteem. Just because” Chavon "worked on the demon doesn't make it disappear, does it? It's too late for anything to happen. Just as there is no substitute for the Virgin, there is no substitute for you. You should think better about what your power means."

Everything hurts my ears.

"……… there is no substitute for Mr Ceres either"

"If you're a traveling companion, you can have as many instead. That's how rare your powers are. [M] Even if things happen that just the Virgin can't help, we can't do anything alone. Even if the demons can be defeated, only the Virgin and Lucia, you can purify them."

When she told me that she had acted shallowly, Mr. Ceres rubbed my hair softly.

"Well, I know I can't abandon you because of your personality. I didn't say it properly beforehand. My responsibility is heavy. Sorry, Lucia. You scared me."

"Why... did you do that? If anything happens to Mr. Ceres, I..."

I could not help but cry, and I rubbed my eyes. Not if you're crying.

"Yeah, sorry. I thought that the damage would be stopped if I locked it in the cabin, but the door was worse than I thought. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything."

I'm glad you're safe.

"Right, I think so too. I'm glad you're okay. If anything happens to you, I can't stay calm. [M]... you know, Lucia"

"Yes."

"Take care of yourself more. There are a lot of people who care about you. If you turn yourself around, I, the Virgin, and your people in the castle will all be so sad."

Those eyes, illuminated by the unreliable lights of the candles, dwelt in serious colors.

I think of Maria and all the castles. I was embarrassed to see that I was alone and that I thought something was okay. I wasn't alone at all.

"…… Yes. I didn't think enough."

"I didn't have enough words. Lucia, if anything happens to you, I can't live. Even so, you're impotent?

"Is that……?

"Of course, that's for me personally. I'm not talking about work. Because you matter, if you get hurt or are gone, I can't stand it."

It's like a confession.

I blush unexpectedly, and I shake my head in a hurry to get back to sanity. I'm in the middle of getting angry right now. This is not a good time to think like that.

"…… haven't you passed it on yet? Are you honest or stubborn... sometimes I worry."

Mr. Ceres scratched his head with a troubled smile.

"Lucia, I don't know if I'd say it at a time like this, but if it's one thing underlying you, I want to break it. I don't want to leave you alone."

When Mr. Ceres took my hand, he gently dropped a kiss at his fingertips. There will be more blood on your head than before. The thrill and chest was pounding, and Mr. Ceres was about to hear the sound of it, and I drew the hand of the ungrabbed to his chest.

No, you can't misunderstand. There can't be such a cool guy about me... That's just the story.

"Lucia. Take a good look. I want you to listen. You may not think anything of it, or it may be annoying. But..."

Mr. Ceres' blue eyes shoots at me.

"I like you."

The world has turned white.
