My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

That was sudden.

The mansion became noisy without warning, and when I talked to the servant about something, Harold said that he had visited.

That’s not unusual. I have visited this house many times to meet Tasks and Itsuki.

But what is worrisome is that Harold came when they weren’t there.

According to a report from Kiryu, there seems to be an urgent need, and it seems that he is impatient somewhere and has a powerful force.

Erica, who heard about Harold’s appearance, felt something that didn’t make sense.

“Where is Harold?”

“I’m in the drawing room”

” Is that so? “

After Kiryu’s exit and a slight crawling, Erica stands up and leaves his room.

It’s always avoided, and if you meet face to face, you can’t seem to be afraid of Erica’s steps even if you’re heading for someone who is blatantly smoked. We have already broken away from the weakness of being frightened by that degree.

Upon arriving in front of the guest room, Erica sat upright and called out to the fusuma.

“Excuse me”

Will you be driven away as usual? It may be ignored.

As I heard from Kiryu, if you are impatient, you may be exposed to fierce words. That said, I’m not going to take a step back this time.

However, Harold’s reply was unexpectedly “put in”.

I was surprised that I was allowed to enter the room smoothly, and while I was frozen for a moment, I was able to get permission, so I opened the sliding doors.

“It’s been a long time, Mr. Harold”

I hung my head deeply.

Ah, Harold asks a question with a sigh.

“What are you planning to come to me?”

Harold hates himself by Erica I’m sure there is. It’s only natural that we’re trying to do that ourselves.

You may have come to the conclusion that Erica shouldn’t like to visit her.

To be honest, if you say that you just wanted to see your face because you were worried, you might be kicked out. So Erica talked to Harold’s tone.

“I have no such intention. I didn’t take the initiative.”

“Then what did you come for?”

“Harold is my fiancé and an important guest for the Sumeragi family. I will be with you because my husband and his wife, my parents, are absent.

“No, I’m annoyed to spend the same time as you.”

Immediately denied, but Erica eats up.

The result of being a fiancé, a position as a Sumeragi family, and Harold’s actions. Make full use of them and list the plausible reasons.

“Sumeragi doesn’t stand out because he doesn’t treat guests politely. However, it was a sudden visit today, so we are not fully prepared. But please understand. “

” …… “

Do you think Erica is unlikely to move? Harold closes his mouth. You probably know that there is something wrong with you who visited without confirming your whereabouts.

After accepting the reaction, Erica lit the hearth in the room and began to heat the iron kettle he had prepared.

Harold remains silent and doesn’t even look at Erica. Looking at his profile, Erica still felt that it wasn’t as usual.

The moody expression with wrinkles between the eyebrows remains the same, but the intimidating atmosphere hides the shadow. On the contrary, it was even a little weak.

Harold, who usually doesn’t show weakness, has disappeared in front of Erica.

Anyone who knows Harold’s words and deeds will be surprised, if not astonishingly.

But Erica is different. She knows

Even Harold is suffering from bearishness and may shed tears unknowingly. It’s just trying to hide that weakness with its irreverent behavior. Harold was alone enough to have to do so.

And that’s why Erica wants to be a supporter.

“Please”

Put the tea leaves in boiling water, pour only into the water and place it in front of Harold.

However, Harold keeps silent without touching Yunomi or tea making. When the brewed green tea began to warm up, Erica reached out to change the brewing and responded.

“… How do you feel about your situation?”

Harold like a soliloquy Mutters.

The line of sight still captures the void, but the question seems to be snarling to someone.

It’s a question that doesn’t look like Harold. On the surface, he wouldn’t pay attention to what others think and how he lives.

Maybe this is a question that overlaps with the other person. If you’re so worried and cornered …

“I am grateful for the environment now. I have no complaints about being born as the only daughter of the Sumeragi family.”

“> Depending on the response, Harold may have been comforted.

For unknown reasons, it’s clear that he’s worried. If there is a partner who can sympathize with such feelings, it may have been easily given salvation.

But I didn’t want to see Harold like that. It seemed like Harold wouldn’t be Harold if he didn’t look good on him as he walked proudly.

I knew it was a selfish resentment, but I couldn’t suppress that feeling.

I intuitively realized that if I made it good here, I wouldn’t be able to truly support Harold.

So Erica pushes it away. He decided that he didn’t need the kindness to just give him so that he could come up with the answer on his own.

“To be honest. I don’t think it’s the true intention of someone who was forced to marry an unwanted partner.”

Rather For Erica, her engagement with Harold is a factor in her appreciation for being the daughter of the Sumeragi family. I can’t say that even if my mouth is torn.

Harold looks like he’s looking at something stinking. He didn’t really seem to believe Erica’s words.

“I was born in the Summeragi family and have lived a comfortable life thanks to the support of this family and the people. I’m finally ready to kill my heart. “

This is Erica’s true word. In fact, even if Harold was the worst human being, Erica intended to abandon her personality and get married if it would save the Sumeragi family and the people.

It was Harold in front of me that ruined that determination in a good way, and on the contrary, it was ironic because he was planning to break the engagement. There is.

“First of all, Harold-sama doesn’t really want to get engaged with me, right? I don’t even realize that you hate me. It’s not insensitive. “

Harold murmured in a small voice, perhaps because of Erica’s resolute remarks.

“… Why? Why can you accept the unacceptable reality?”

Because I met you.

I wanted to say that. I was inevitably attracted to knowing the way of life that was stigmatized without hesitation for what I should protect.

I was fascinated by Harold, who has a strong belief, and fell in love when I realized it.

I couldn’t see Harold voicing words so weakly, and I wanted to tell him that he liked you both as a person and as a person of the opposite sex.

It was a mixed feeling of dearness and affection. Erica desperately holds back the urge to rush.

You can’t do that. After all, it just gives Harold, who is already suffering, an extra worry.

One intentional throat clearing to take a break and calm down.

“I think Harold’s power is wonderful. If you say you don’t envy, you’ll be lying.”

Suddenly The story was switched, and Harold suddenly praised him and showed a dismayed face. It’s a pretty precious expression.

But soon he returns to the rugged look that Erica always shows.

“Huh, are you going to flirt with me now?”

“I have a straightforward feeling. I’m pioneering with my own power. I don’t have that power and I envy it. “

It’s not just the guts of confronting difficulties. A broad perspective that gives a bird’s-eye view of the current situation and correctly recognizes it, a calm thinking ability that seems to see through the heart and future of the other party, antibody drugs that mitigate the effects of miasma, and knowledge and ideas that create innovative agriculture.

None of them are ordinary. Someday I recall the words that the task was saying.

“He is excellent but too good. Sometimes that power will make him lonely. ”

So Erica wanted. I want to be a supporter of Harold so that I won’t leave Harold alone.

And I thought that I needed the same power as Harold for that.

But that’s no good. Looking at Harold now, I really felt that way.

“But no matter how good a person is, there is a limit to one person”

“…”

“Just because you can do it alone doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. Harold should remember to rely on someone a little more.”

Harold Only one person can do many things. Therefore, there was no need to rely on others. It may have happened because there was no one to rely on.

But then, after being tense, I think I’ll get a flat tire. Such anxiety crosses Erica’s chest.

“Don’t speak like a boss”

“Sure, I don’t know much about Harold-sama.” But is that the same for you? “

” What? “

” Someone who is willing to cooperate with you Harold doesn’t know that he is. “

Harold has become accustomed to being lonely. There are also clauses that take it for granted that they are alone, rather than trying to attract people.

It may be that such stereotypes have taken root because I couldn’t believe in others until now.

I think I can cut myself just by imagining how painful it was.

But now he has someone to help him. Tasks and Itsuki are probably the best of them.

Family Erica knows that they really like Harold. Harold should be able to believe in people other than himself.

“You only have to do it once. Please take a closer look at your surroundings. “

Then you will surely find a trustworthy existence.

Erica felt a not-so-small pain, just that she wouldn’t be in it.

◇

(“No matter how good a person is, there is a limit to one person” …)

Erica’s words are ruminant in my head.

It was so correct that I couldn’t help it. Harold himself is aware that his head is mediocre just because his body specs are outstanding.

I can only manage to get around because I make full use of the foul technique of original knowledge.

On the other hand, this original knowledge is also troublesome. For Harold, it’s just a game scenario, and in this world it’s a future prediction.

It’s a limited ability until the end of the original work, but it will still have a tremendous impact on the world if used by humans. Inevitably, Harold is at increased risk of being targeted by people with such ideas.

That’s why I’ve been trying to do this by myself as much as possible so that I don’t lose my memory of the future.

But that may be the limit, as Erica says. At least this case is not a case that Harold can handle alone.

I fall on my back.

It’s not that I didn’t rely on anyone before. Rescue of Clara and Colette and LP farming would not have been possible without the help of Norman and the task.

But I don’t really trust them.

The reason is not only the exposure of the original knowledge. If you rely too much on them, they may also act out of the original, and that may cause a part of the original to collapse.

Harold has been afraid of it.

(But is that too late?)

Harold’s behavior is like an irregular mass. As a result, Clara survived, developed LP farming, supported Sumeragi with antibody drugs, and joined the Knights three years earlier than originally intended.

Most of them were unavoidable to catch the eye of their own death flag.

This time, I was wondering whether to kill Robinson and others for the original work or to help even if I changed the flow of the original work.

However, they were forced to participate in the battle with the Hoshiyomi tribe who would die.

I was confused by an unexpected situation and rushed to the task, but if you think about it, this may have been the answer. Erica also advised me, and I feel that it is clearer.

It would be impossible to avoid all the flags by yourself. The magnitude of the situation and the spirit of Harold.

The active intervention of others, which was not in the original, may be one solution.

A radically different way of thinking that if you can finally defeat Justus, you will allow some reorganization of the original.

Is it a stupid idea? The more you deviate from the original, the more you lose the greatest advantage.

But. The flow of this world has already begun to deviate from the original.

The most threatening thing is the danger that Justus’s plans are moving forward. This may not keep up with the growth of Liners.

I’m sorry that I participated in the battle with the Hoshiyomi tribe and died without doing anything.

(… If so, let’s do all of Robinson’s survival, Justus’s plan delay, and Liner’s strengthening all at once! )

If you fail, you may die. But that’s not the case now. From the moment he possesses Harold, he is constantly exposed to the death flag.

On the contrary, although it may be different from the original if it goes well, it can greatly help the game clear.

If you think about it, you may have been too obsessed with avoiding risks. It’s impossible for Harold to get the best results without risking it.

Because I’m trying to overturn the fate of dying from the beginning, I can’t get a survival route unless I bet the appropriate thing.

In a sense, it was like a reopening. If you can’t do it alone, get the help of others. Such a simple conclusion.

Stop risking involving others.

I felt like the light was coming. That’s probably thanks to Erica.

“No matter how good a person is, there is a limit to one person”

“Harold should remember to rely on someone a little more.”

“Harold doesn’t know that there are people who are willing to cooperate with you”

I think he often said this much. A really kind and attractive girl. There are only the most popular characters in the original.

It may have been a shame that Erica hated me.

Unknowingly, Harold was thinking about that with a bitter smile.
