Let’s Meet Again

It’s been 5 days since I restored Gullek.
After that, he woke up in about 3 days, but he’d ended up in a state where he can’t properly move his body.
It appears that he’ll be able to move his body if he does rehabilitation, but it seems that that’ll also take some time.

At the same time, he’d lost some of his memories as well.
He’d lost the memories of these couple of years.
It seems he doesn’t have the memories of anything immediately following his father’s death when Galian-san checked.
He naturally doesn’t know who we are.

Galian-san and Melies-san say that it’s great that he’s even just alive.
It appears that the three of them will spend their time doing their best on the rehabilitation.
It’s Galian-san and the others’ family problem from here on out so it’s not something for us to complain about.

We went back to the capital after spending about 3 days treating the wounded, helping out in the removal of the rubbles and so forth with the Chivalric Order that Caro brought.
Galian-san, Melies-san, and Gullek huddling together and sending us off, was a sight to behold.

And then, today, after spending around 4 days in the capital, we’re at the palace’s entrance.
As for the reason, it’s because today is the day we’ll leave the capital.
All of us are currently loading the baggage onto the carriage but

“Why did that fellow remain manifested?”

before my eyes, there’s the figure of Light who takes charge of the baggage from the maids who transports the baggage over.
Light’s figure is visible to other humans as well for some reason.
Alexia and the others were quite surprised when they came back after I restored Gullek.

Although he’s always standing behind me, because he’s amiable and quite good-looking, there are hot gazes from the maids.
Even now

“Thank you”

when he gives his thanks with a smile, the maids who handed the baggage over blush and leave.
And then they’re shrieking, ‘Kyaa Kyaa’, at the back.
Winning over the ladies with just a smile, that fellow’s amazing huh.

“Uu~, something of that extent is easy for me too if I have the magic power!”

“Yeah, Aruji-sama.
So give us more magic power!”

Hikarin and Maririn, who are looking enviously at Light’s figure above my head.
I’ve been giving you guys a considerable amount recently and it’s still not enough?

“Just a bit more!”

“Yeah.
Just a bit more and we can catch up!”

……How desperate.
It’s not like I’ll neglect Hikarin and Maririn just because Light came.
Well, it’s adorable so I won’t say it though.
It seems because Light has the Goddess’ Blessing, he’s fine even with just a tiny bit of magic power.
In addition to that, Light can also personally fight and so forth.
I’ve still never seen it before though.

As I’m watching the back and forth between Light and the maids

“Jealous?”

there’s a voice from behind.
I turn back and over there, was the figure of Caro who tilts her head.

“Er, well, that’s, you know”

“Hum~ph?”

I stumble over my words and Caro looks fixedly~ at me.
I mean, with just a smile, the ladies blush and look over, I guess it’s enviable as a man.

“I prefer your smile though”

“Eh?”

Caro muttered something whisperingly but it’s soft so I couldn’t hear it.
After that, she wouldn’t answer me no matter how many times I ask her.
What did she say?

“Leaving that aside, it’s lonely that it’s farewell already huh”

says Caro.
It’ll be farewell to Caro here temporarily.
I think it’s true that it’ll be troubling for the country if Caro, the country’s symbol, disappears.

Although the Pope and Christina-sama said it doesn’t matter, Caro said she’ll stay behind until the announcement, so I respected Caro’s will.
I’m also lonely, but it’s not something to demand of Caro to the point of going against her will.
It’ll alright if I just bear with it.

“It’ll be announced immediately after we get back.
We’ll be able to meet again after that so don’t be down”

When I say that, Caro puffs up her cheeks and makes an angry expression.
What’s wrong?

“Geez, Lei doesn’t understand a woman’s heart huh.
It’s sad to be separated for even just a short while”

Caro says and spreads out her hands while looking away.
Caro fawns on me like this occasionally.
Caro says there’s no such thing and gets angry when I mention it, but as I thought, she’s pampered.
I embrace Caro closely while making a bitter smile.
Caro embraces me closely as well.

“I’m sorry.
It looks like it’s still difficult for me”

“Geez, don’t say something like that.
……I can hear Lei’s heartbeat”

Caro, who places her ear on my chest and closes her eyes.
I hear that it seems the sound of my heart is calming.
It seems she realised it when she did it previously and it’s been like this ever since.

I embrace Caro closely while patting on her head.
We’re being watched smirkingly by those around us, but we already gave up.
The maids shriek, ‘Kyaa Kyaa’, even when they look at the sight over here.
Over there

“Caroline-sama.
Doing such a thing in public is……”

Mery-san says and comes over but

“I don’t care about such things.
I’ll do it when I want to”

, she carried on clinging on me as it is.
I can’t do anything about it when it comes down to this.
Well, I guess it’s alright since she looks like she feels good.

Over there, everybody, who finished loading the baggage, came over.
Alexia and the others, my fiancees, are laughing in a way like they’re saying, ‘It can’t be helped huh’, and Dargris and Cait are cursing at me again.
It appears that they couldn’t find the aforementioned rings.
It seems the shop was in the direction where the Dragon and Gilgas came and was destroyed.

“Caro.
Everybody has gathered so it’s about time……”

“I don’t wanna!”

‘I don’t wanna!’, she says, is it my imagination that it feels like she’s slightly regressing? As I’m stroking her head without saying anything

“Kukuku, I never knew that Caroline was so pampered”

“Absolutely.
Even though she didn’t fawn on us that much”

, the Pope and Christina-sama came.
Perhaps it’s embarassing to be seen by her parents as one would expect, she separates from me.
Her face is also slightly red.

“Even though you didn’t have to particularly separate.
Lei-kun.
You helped us out in various ways this time around.
In the Dragon and the Demon Tribe’s invasion, all the way to Gullek’s matter”

“No, I just did what I can”

“As I’ve said previously, it’ll go back to being a rock if you commit infidelity so be careful, alright.
Also, take this as well”

In sequence, the Pope and Christina-sama speak to me; I wonder if I’m that untrustworthy.
Afterwards, told by Christina-sama, the maids carried a somewhat large box over.

“This is?”

“Inside that box, there are True Crystals.
I brought some over since your Spirit-san said to give it to you in advance”

‘Some’, it’s a size that has to be carried by 2 maids, you know.
Moreover, ‘give it to you in advance’, means Light thinks that the number of fiancees will increase even further huh.
That rascal.

“Kuku, well, if they don’t despise Caroline then any number of people is alright for me”

The Pope says that while laughing.

“I, I understand.
I will take it just in case”

Afterwards, as I’m greeting the Butler-san and Maid-san whom I was indebted to

“Onii-chaーn!”

there’s a young girl who charges at me suddenly.
When I caught her, she raised her head and burst into laughter.

“It’s dangerous, isn’t it, Mei-chan”

“Ehehe~, sorry”

Mei-chan, without looking too bothered about it, rubs her face on my abdomen.
Well, it’s not like I’m angry either so I’ll pat her head.
Behind her are Priscilla-san, the Sister, and the orphanage’s children.

“Are you done, with your preparations to go?”

“Yes.
But is it really fine for me to go as well?”

says Priscilla-san who has a slightly troubled look.
Sister-san is grinning at the back.
It ended up with Priscilla-san, Mei-chan, and also Roy following us until Nanor.

It seems the Pope will shelter Sister-san and the other children until the orphanage is built.
Roy says he wants to follow me no matter what and Mei-chan who jump on the bandwagon also says she wants to go so I ended up giving in.
And Priscilla-san ended up following us as well as the pair’s guardian.

It seems Mei-chan and Roy are both 10 years old, and Roy calls me, ‘Aniki’, for some reason.
It seems he wants to learn martial arts from me no matter what.
So I decided to teach him just the basics in my free time.
I taught him just a bit of swordsmanship previously and he picked up various things immediately so he might unexpectedly have a knack for it.

“If it’s about my place then you don’t have to worry about it.
There are still leftover rooms after all”

I say that to Priscilla-san and she mutters,「In the same house as Lei-kun……」.
As I thought, she’s probably reluctant to live in the same house with a man.

“If it’s no good then I’ll look for a house「It, it’s alright!」 the, then that’s fine”

I was surprised because she abruptly raised her voice.
Priscilla-san was also embarrassedly looking down while dyeing her face red.
Well, I guess it’s fine if it’s alright.

“Alexia-neesama.
Lei won one over again”

“He certainly did.
Well, I’ve been going, ‘It’s Lei so it can’t be helped’, and given up recently.
It’s not like he’s neglecting us after all”

At the back, Ferris and Alexia are whispering something but I can’t hear them.
What?

Afterwards, as I’m watching the children bidding their farewell

“Lei, the preparation is done”

Aerith came.
Rene and Ely are also behind her.

“I got it.
I’ll go over immediately”

I say that and go to Caro’s side once again.

“Caro”

“……”

Caro remained silent while looking down.
It can’t be helped.
It’s embarassing because it’s in public but

“Caro!”

“Eh!? Muguu!”

I support Caro’s cheeks with both hands, raise her face, and kiss her.
Caro flusters at the sudden happening, but she becomes docile after a bit.
The voices around are noisy but I’ll ignore it for now.

I move away after a bit.
Caro presses onto me, reluctant to let go, but if I do it more than this, I’ll end up wanting to do the thing that comes after.

“Is your loneliness slightly off the mind with this?”

“……Lei, you idiot”

Caro blushes and looks down.
I stroke the head of such Caro.

I then get on the carriage and bid farewell to everybody.
The carriage sets off while being sent off by everybody.
Caro is also waving at me with a smile.
As I thought, it has to be a smile.

A while after bidding farewell in that manner, the atmosphere inside the carriage changes.
Inside the carriage are me, my fiancees, along with Priscilla-san, Mei-chan, and Roy.
I look in the direction of everybody and

“……I’m jealous that Lei gave it to her”

“Yeah! Even though Lei hasn’t even given it to us yet!”

Alexia says and Ferris is fuming.
Those around are also nodding, wha, what are you guys……aa! The kiss! ……Indeed, I’ve never given it to them huh.
I’ve only been given it by Alexia in the past.
Everybody is looking fixedly at me.
……I stepped on a landmine huh.
This is bad.

“Hey, Priscilla-oneechan.
What’s wrong with everybody?”

“……This is what they call a pandemonium.
I’m jealoussss”

Priscilla-san.
Please don’t teach Mei-chan strange things! I couldn’t hear the last part though.

I wonder if I’ll be able to return in one piece?
