Funina, please let me steal your heart!

Luna was surprised and said, "Me? I don't care."

"Your words make me care more." Navia's tone was full of curiosity.

What did Luna think of her?

But Navia decided to get to the point first.

Otherwise, if you miss this atmosphere, all the words that you should have said will sink in an instant.

Navia still didn't let go of Luna's hands. While shaking Luna's hands left and right, she spoke softly:

"You should already know that the Clementine line is named after my mother, and the father is the Carles line..."

"When my mother was alive, everyone said she was a completely different person from my father."

"In the past, other members of the Thorn Rose Society only had the power to make suggestions, but Dad always kept his word. Once he made a decision, no one could change his mind—not even my mother."

"Compared to him, my mother is a gentle, optimistic and humorous person. She is also very sociable and often mediates conflicts between my father and others."

"To my dad, my mother is like a supporter and lover, and she is also like a brake for him."

"But my mother died of complications during childbirth."

"After that, there were actually quite a few conflicts within the Thorn Rose Society. After all, my father was that kind of person."

“He would not expose his weaknesses to anyone, and he never had a heart-to-heart talk with me, but he asked me to follow him to see the negotiation field and had someone teach me how to shoot and wield a weapon.”

"...For a while I didn't know whether he and I were estranged or not. It seemed that things that happened to other fathers and daughters had never happened to us."

Navia fell silent.

She lowered her eyes again, and her lips moved slightly: “After hearing your reasoning, Lulu, I went back to ask Myles.”

Luna said softly, "And?"

"I asked Myles, 'Why did Dad choose to sacrifice his life in the duel? Was it to protect me from the enemy?'"

Myles nodded.

"He also told me that my dad had already suffered from a rare disease at that time. It was too late when it was discovered. He only had five years left to live."

So that's how it is. Now the truth about why Cares wanted to die is completely clear.

Luna murmured, "After realizing that I couldn't sustain a stalemate with the enemy for long, I chose..."

Navia whispered, “Well, it’s just as you reasoned, Lulu.”

Claim to have crucial evidence against the other party. If you don't want to fight to the death, just keep quiet.

Otherwise, the evidence will be exposed to everyone.

Naturally, the other party would not be happy to see such a huge loss.

"Does the evidence really exist?" Luna asked.

Myles shook his head.

The fox pretends to be the tiger's power?

Or is there something else going on? Luna couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she just let it go.

"I had no idea that my father had such a disease, and I had no idea that he had such a disease. He didn't say anything, and he made all the decisions in silence, and then died in silence."

Then, Navia also fell silent.

Her mind had already left this place and drifted into distant memories.

But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find the fleeting clue of Cares from his already vague memories.

"He's always like this." Navia whispered again, stroking Luna's fingers.

Luna felt the warm and itchy sensation on her hand, and her thoughts wandered.

She once asked Arlecchino a question.

"Why is 'father' called 'father'?"

She is obviously a beautiful woman.

But at that time, Alechino just smiled faintly.

"If you want to know the answer, think for yourself, Luna. Only those who use their bodies and minds to pursue the truth are qualified to obtain it."

There are so many riddles.

This was Luna’s first thought at that time.

And it was not until now that Luna seemed to have seen a glimpse of the truth.

“I guess that’s how my father was,” she said.

"...Lulu's father too?"

Luna smiled and said, "Probably. Strict and demanding, but I seem to understand her better now, because if she didn't do this, I probably wouldn't have met Nana."

“.....!”

Navia's eyes widened.

She had wondered if her father’s refusal to accept the title was because he couldn’t stand apart from the masses because of his status;

Taking her to the negotiation field and even teaching her fighting skills, was it because he hoped that she would be able to be self-reliant and protect herself when she grew up?

But she just thought so in her mind and didn't ask it out loud.

Maybe I misunderstood and it is not actually the case.

However, the answer will never be known.

But when she heard Luna say this, she still had an indescribable feeling.

"...Me too. It took me so long to finally understand some of my father's affairs. Although I can't say I understand him, I still feel a little closer to him."

I finally managed to narrow the distance between us, but now it's three years after my father's death.

Navia thought absentmindedly.

Overall, this is a good thing! She wanted to say this, but under Luna's gaze, she changed her words into something else.

"...Can I borrow your shoulder to lean on?"

Luna smiled and said, "No."

"no!?"

In this situation, you actually choose to refuse! ?

Navia was shocked, and before she could continue speaking anxiously, Luna took off her hat.

"Come on, lie down."

Then he pulled her onto his lap.

The softness and warmth of silky softness pressed against her face, and the refreshing fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose. Navia could never have predicted such a development.

"Lu, Lulu? Why do you want me to rest my head on your legs..." Navia looked panicked and subconsciously wanted to sit up.

"It's ok."

Luna pushed him back again.

"It's okay." She spoke gently, and her fingertips gently brushed Navia's long eyelashes, and finally covered her eyes.

In the complete darkness, Navia could only hear the sound of the patrol ship running and the water flowing, and could only feel the coolness of the wind brushing against her skin, and the contrasting warmth of Luna's body temperature.

So warm.

Just like the flames in a fireplace, Navia's consciousness gradually became hazy.

But before she fell asleep completely, she squeezed out the last bit of consciousness and said, "Lulu."

"Why? Do you think my legs are not soft enough?"

"No, I mean... I'll take over next time. You sleep on my legs, that way it's a two-way relationship."

Luna lifted the hair from Navia's ears and stroked her ears a few times.

"Okay. By the way, do you feel exposed to the sun? If you do, I can cover it up."

"Now the sun is setting, and what are you going to use to block it out?"

"skirt."

".......Lulu, don't say that again."

Luna smiled and said, "You know it's just a joke anyway."

"It's no use even if you know it!"

She answered very energetically, but not long after resting her head on Luna's legs, Navia fell asleep.

She certainly has a strong will.

"....Dad..." Navia murmured in her sleep.

But I also feel a little sad.

Luna put Navia's hat away and booed Aibel with her index finger.

Aibel nodded vigorously and covered her mouth with her hands.

Luna couldn't help but smile, and then waited quietly for the arrival of the terminal. Before that, let her enjoy this rare beauty.

stamp.

"Hmm..."

Poke the face.

"Um......."

Luna admired Navia's sleeping face, poking her face here and touching her ears there, until they arrived at the terminal.

80: The blonde lady who can beat the thief to his knees

The patrol boat stopped operating as the terminal station had been reached.

Navia was still sleeping soundly with her head resting on Luna's legs.

Although she felt a little reluctant, to be honest, her legs were numb.

"Nana, we've arrived."

"Well... sleep a little longer." Navia responded vaguely, obviously still half asleep.

She shifted her orientation and buried her face in Luna's belly.

Luna patted her head and said, "Get up, my legs are numb."

"........."

Luna sighed softly. Now that things had come to this, she had no choice but to pull Navia's ears with a little force.

"It hurts, it hurts, what, what happened?" Navia finally woke up and opened her eyes.

Looking up, beyond the light arc, what comes into view is Luna's smile.

"My legs are numb. Sit up and let me relax."

"Ah.....I'm sorry."

Actually, I fell asleep on Lulu's lap. Navia suddenly felt her face getting hot and sat up quickly.

With a casual glance, I saw the red mark on Luna's leg.

Pressed out.

And there is water light...water light? Navia couldn't help but cover her mouth: "Am I drooling!?"

"Correct."

That's too embarrassing! Navia wiped the corners of her mouth hastily, but there was no water stain.

Instead, the corners of my eyes feel moist.
