The world's strongest hard worker

On my way home from the dojo, I thought I hadn't seen Anna's face lately, so I decided to stop by.

The reason is generally understandable.

When I visited Anna's house, Anna's mother greeted me at the front door.

"Oh, Livell, what's going on?

"Hello, I thought Anna was depressed."

"... I can see everything for you, Livell. Would you mind listening to Anna?

"Of course. That's why I came."

Say hello to Anna and head to Anna's room.

Knock on the door.

"Anna, are you depressed?

"... nothing"

The voice that came back is not as energetic as usual.

The door of the room is locked and cannot be opened from here.

"Let me in for now, will you?

"... no"

"I see. What did they say at the temple?

The day after she was gifted, Anna went to the temple.

That's where Anna learns about her talents and asks what her future life will be like.

Generally speaking, I can guess.

It's a far cry from Anna's vision of the future.

"I don't want to say it. Go home."

I see.

Anna was right, she tried to go home for a moment, but Guess it was a regrettable choice.

"... the more I go home, the less I understand things."

"─ ─! I don't like it! When I look at Livel's face here, I don't feel like I can keep up the good work!

"Why?

"I'm leaving this city for King's Landing tomorrow! You can be admitted to Eiji Academy! That's why... I don't want to see Livel anymore..."

"Tomorrow... that's sudden."

The Academy of Excellence is the best in the kingdom of Theoria where we live.

It is a very high level school that only highly talented and talented people can enroll.

All over the kingdom... no, they're gathering people from all over the world who have been given powerful talent.

"Once you get into school, you'll almost never see Livel again! We have to train to be dragon knights in school and then work hard for everyone! Because... I got the talent of [Dragon Knight]..."

I see.

There is a reason that talent is always told in the shrine.

That's because we don't miss those who have great talent.

Contribute to all mankind without depleting its talents.

That's one goal.

But for that, the people appreciate the good treatment.

"If I were to tell you the truth, I didn't want the [Dragon Knight] talent!

Anna will be gentle, just and perfect for a knight who protects the people.

But it's not what the person wants because they have aptitude.

Anna is an ordinary girl who doesn't like to fight.

"I wanted to live in peace in this city... relaxing... with Livel..."

Anna's voice in tears.

This will arouse my feelings and readiness.

"... speaking of which, Eiji School had a middle school and a high school. That's why Anna comes in from the middle."

Secondary schools are open only to those whose talents have been recognized by the State.

And I keep talking.

"Higher education can be enrolled if they have higher abilities."

"... eh, Livel, no way."

"You may not live in peace in the city from now on, or you may not have time to relax. Still, I want to be next to you."

"Nh... but... I can't do that... because..."

I won't say anything further.

Anna must have gained a better understanding of her talents.

Anna is looking at me objectively for the first time.

"You always said that. I'm amazing."

"Mmm...."

"I'll show you something really amazing. So wait three years. I will definitely enroll in Emeritus School."

"Mmm... mmm..."

Anna shook her voice and repeatedly said, "Yes."

I'm sure he's nodding over this door with tears on his face.

After a while, there was a crackling sound and the door key opened.

"... are you sure?

"Yeah, come in."

When she entered the room, Anna looked like a pyjama.

My eyes are red and my sleeves are wet.

"Hehe... I cried so much"

"You've been crying for a long time."

I fell and cried, I cried trying to eat without leaving any vegetables I didn't like, I cried angrily, I cried really often.

"Yeah, but I won't cry anymore!

"Really?

"It's true! I won't cry anymore!

Wow.

Ehehe

Anna loosened her cheeks a little.

Then he took a deep breath and stared at me with serious eyes.

"I like Livel. I love Livel more than anyone."

It took me a while to understand the words. [M]

"That means as a heterosexual... right?

"Yeah, that's right."

Anna said straight away.

I'm surprised at the sudden confession.

I'm pretending to be flat, but my heart beats faster.

"I-"

"Wait!

When I tried to reply, Anna put her hand in front of my mouth.

"Let me hear back in three years. In the meantime, I'm going to be a strong and splendid girl who's going to like Livel."

"... okay. Promise."

"Yeah, I promise."

I put my little fingers together and cut my fingers.

Don't come see me off tomorrow.

"Why?"

"... ahh, I really do!

"Is that why you don't want to say it?

"... I'm gonna miss you so much..."

Anna, who has never been exposed to me before, is blushing with embarrassment.

I see. Well then, goodbye for a while. "

"Yeah... good luck."

And Anna.

Having said goodbye to Anna, I'm on my way home.

What a light goodbye.

I pause and look back at the conversation I had with Anna.

─ ─ Let me hear back in three years. In the meantime, I'm going to be a strong and splendid girl who's going to like Livel. "

Did you say...?

It's really stupid.

I don't know anything.

How many times have I been encouraged by your smile?

I don't have to be strong, I don't have to be splendid, you just have to laugh at me.

─ ─ To do that, Anna needs to be strong enough to fight.

That's the only way to be the strongest in the world.

That's what I'm trying to do.
