I Will Quietly Disappear

"Captain Gowen."

I look at Gowen with a very sad, crying look on Larum's face.

Without saying anything, Gowen shook up his sword. Larum closed his eyes, as if he had given up.

'Stop!!

I screamed out loud.

But something rolled with a ton, and later spreading was blood all around.

Ba.

I jumped up on the bed.

"... you haven't had a dream in a long time."

Besides, it's not a very good dream.

Looking out, the stars are still sparkling and it is completely midnight.

"Let's go to sleep..."

I was back in bed again, but my eyes were completely blinded.

(I wonder what my current dream is. Gowen was totally trying to kill Larum. How...)

I can't follow my head because the content was so terrible.

(Only, let's see the view outside)

When I got out of bed, I opened the door leading to the balcony.

For midnight, only the moonlight depends.

"... earlier dreams"

That is definitely a first sight. If so, it is a matter of decision that that situation will occur.

But both Gowen and Larum are very close. In the first place, Larum was originally a child who lost his parents, and I hear Gowen found it and fed it. The bond will surely be strong.

That's why Gowen is supposed to kill Larum...

"Ha..."

"That, princess?

Suddenly I shrugged to the voice I was called.

"La, Larum?

Larum came down from the top before me.

"What's wrong, princess? At this late hour..."

"Yeah, well..."

(I dreamed you'd be killed, you can't say that)

My face almost caught on but I managed to put up with it.

"Oh, okay. You had a scary dream."

"... right"

(Scary dreams, you're hitting it in a way)

"Heh."

I got a serious peek in the face.

"What is it?"

"I thought you were an adult, but you're just a kid."

I felt a little irritated on that face.

"I am a child. What are you doing up there?"

"I'm on guard. I didn't know it was coming from up there."

Stuck in words for unexpectedly decent reasons.

"... yes, be careful not to fall. Gowen will grieve."

I subtly tried to come up with Gowen's name.

"Captain Gowen. Ah..."

Sometimes I have a bad tooth cut.

(Huh? Something is already happening!?

"Is something wrong?

"No, there's nothing."

"You lied, look like that. Just say it."

I'm going to pack it in the larm. You were pushed by my sword screen, Larum took a step back.

"... lately, you've been thinking a lot. I was wondering if it was helping properly."

Larum sat down on the balcony and started talking.

"Useful..."

"You said it was picked up before. I want to give back. I want to help him.... and yet you're just lost."

"Larum..."

"I don't know what I am..."

"Something's happened to you."

"Sort of."

I thought about it. At times like this, even if you encourage them poorly, they sure don't make sense. If...

I said I would stand in front of Larum.

"Him, Himehima!?

I pinched the cheek with both hands. My neat face deforms and makes me kind of laugh.

"P. Funny face."

"Oh, it's terrible..."

Releasing Larum, he says, "Hih," holding his cheek.

"I can't tell you what you're convinced of. But, Larum. If you are trying to help Gowen, it must have arrived"

"... Princess"

"I'm a child. I don't know what's hard, but you can get lost. If you get lost, you can get help. I didn't feed you because I want Gowen to be useful."

(Hmmm. I can't say that well at all)

"A princess..."

"What?"

"Kind, isn't it?"

"What's that..."

What do you mean? I just tried to pinch my cheek one more time, and I was avoided.

"No, no.... if I could stay with the princess, every day would seem like a lot of fun"

"Hey it..."

"I'm not making fun of you? I tried to say," but I was hardened by Larum's overly happy grin.

"If you say so much, my..."

You can't just be a subordinate, I stopped trying to tell you. I can't say such irresponsible things when I leave this country.

"What?"

"It's nothing. You can do whatever you want. It's your freedom to do what you do."

(But like this, it doesn't look like something's still happening. Why the hell did you dream like that?

"Larum, besides you..."

"Princess, what are you asking me to talk to you about, but just go to bed. We'll talk tomorrow."

"... well, so is that"

If you think about it, it's only midnight. It won't be too late to talk about it tomorrow.

"But you're not sleepy..."

"You'll get sleepy as soon as you get into the futon. I'm still a child. Let's go back to your room."

That's what prompted me to go into my room.

"I'll be by your side until the princess goes to bed. Come on. I don't have scary dreams anymore."

"Yes, thank you..."

(I wonder if I can sleep...)

Although I entered the futon, my eyes are still covered.

"Princess."

"Larum? What?

All of a sudden, Larum covered my vision with his hands. My vision is engulfed in darkness. Larum's hands are slightly warm and twitchy.

(sleepy...)

The consciousness was distant as it was.
