My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

Clara is crying. I didn’t make a voice, but tears spilling from the gaps between my hands that covered my face ran down my cheeks and moistened the ground. It’s a level that can be called crying.

Harold was taken aback by her.

It is a convincing reaction to cry and be grateful considering that it certainly saved the lives of Clara and her daughter Colette.

However, Harold himself was responsible for the series of events. Not to mention a match pump, Clara has no fault in that case because of Harold’s carelessness and the Stokes’ allegations. However, both daughters are forced to move. For that reason, Harold’s crying appreciation makes him rather apologetic.

In addition, it has been about eight years to replace Harold. In the meantime, the emotions that the face-to-face partner showed were usually either fear or disgust. It’s been a long time since I got used to such a situation.

That’s why if you push your gratitude to the front like this, you’ll have trouble responding. However, from an objective point of view, I understand that the current situation is bad. A man who makes a widow cry at the front door at midnight will be reported immediately.

For the time being, Clara must be calmed down and raised inside the house.

“How long do you intend to do that? I would have said that I have something to ask”

“also I’m sorry. I think it’s a mess, but please go inside. “

That said, it was a wooden one-story house. The interior, illuminated by the lamps and the light, was certainly modest compared to the environment in which Harold lives. However, the small but beautiful living space does not make Harold feel uncomfortable even after a long time.

Rather than that, the problem for the time being is Colette, a girl with a characteristic blonde hair inherited from her mother, who looks at me from behind.

“Collet, you see Harold. Please say hello.”

“Oh, it’s been a long time, Harold.” Dear … “

Collet bows his head like a squirrel. It will be a reunion for the first time in five years, but after all, it has grown so beautifully that I can only describe it as a beautiful girl. It’s the same game that Harold knows.

The last time I met was the Delphito fighting competition. Colette seemed to be scared somewhere, probably because he wanted him to be stronger at that time and gave him a little harsh words.

“Don’t say Collet. You should come here too.”

Let Collet sit down without saying whether or not. Amerer’s parents and children sit on a small table, and Harold faces them. Harold begins to explain the matter again after he puts his mouth on the tea that was served, “I don’t know if it fits your mouth …”.

“I heard that a thief entered the house next door last night. Is that true?”

“Yes”

“How many people?”

“I heard that you are a duo”

“I saw you dressed Is there anyone? “

” Griffith and his son, Liner, who live in a stolen house. As far as I know, they are three. Rumor has it that they are black. “I was hiding my face with a robe.”

“I was absent next door.” Liner chases the criminal and goes to the village in the afternoon of today … “

I will compare the information I have with the facts that Clara knows. There seems to be no big discrepancy there. Naturally, the criminal didn’t seem to have an eye on him yet.

Relieved, Harold turns his gaze to Collet, who has been silent for some time.

“Is that red head the Liner who chased the criminal?”

“Yes”

Colette nods while still showing a frightened reaction, as if he was able to communicate with that red head.

While thinking that it was bad for her, I deliberately uttered words that aroused anxiety.

“If my expectations are correct, he will die”

Colette and Clara are breathtaking. It seems that the impact is great when it is said that it is clear so far.

But this is neither a threat nor anything. If Liner takes a single action and fights with Wentos and others, it will be defeated if it is the current ability. And the defeat in this world is almost death, unlike the continuation of the game.

Although I ordered Wentos and Lilium not to kill them in order to prevent it, accidents in battle always follow. So Harold wants Colette to follow Liner as soon as possible, if possible.

Harold chose to hit Collet’s ass anyway.

“From the sightings, the criminal has a high probability of being a thief group called” Trinity “that has been making noise around the royal capital recently. It is high, and even if you hold down the scene of the crime, you can escape with a forced breakthrough. “

Of course, it is a lie. There is no such thief group. Harold’s name and settings are just like that. Even in the game, the three of them didn’t have names, so I had to think for myself.

However, the faces of Colette and Clara, who do not know it, are pale. Thanks to that, I don’t seem to be wondering why Harold is chasing such dangerous people. It would be helpful if you could let it through as it is.

“That’s …”

Sadness that I might lose the Liner, and regret that I couldn’t stop it. Such things are transmitted from the voice of Collet.

It hurts my heart, but Harold ignores it and asks Clara again.

“Where did the guys disappear?”

“Neighboring town, to the west …”

>

“Hmm, is it better to go back to the royal capital and set up a system?”

As I aimed, Harold’s words ate Collet.

Collet would like you to chase and help Liner. I know, but then Collet won’t keep up with Liner. However, it is very difficult to take them with you when you leave.

If you do poorly, it will be revealed that you are the criminal’s gang, or rather the principal.

“Now, I need to prepare to catch Trinity”

“But then Liner!”

“Take me a risk to help him. Do you want to say that?”

Dare to leave it to others with harsh words I will crush the choices of.

“That’s why …”

“What do you mean by that?”

“…”

Colette bites her lips and looks down. I don’t think there are any words to say back.

Harold doesn’t stop talking to her.

“They kill people for stealing. Their fighting ability is with origami. Do you say that you should chase those people for your own convenience?”

“But … because Harold is strong …”

“Oh, I can certainly win”

“If!”

“Did you say that? There are multiple opponents. It doesn’t make sense to catch one and escape to another. In other words, Trinity. You’ll need someone other than me to capture you. Is there a guarantee of life for Soitsu and others? If you take all responsibility, I’ll follow you right now. “

It is not always correct to state the truth. I feel like someone was saying that, but that’s exactly the situation now. Even if I am 100% correct, is it the right choice to break the wishes of a good girl?

No, it may not be true at the time of such unreasonableness. With that in mind, Harold nevertheless keeps his attitude.

“Don’t be spoiled, Collet.” Relying “and” depending “are different things.”

“Eh …?”

“I thought you knew how powerless it was to be weak. Still, if you choose to live as a weak person, please like it.”

p>

Repeat the words I said to her five years ago.

It’s good to rely on it. This is because family, friends, and peers are made up of supportive and dependable relationships.

However, Collet is addicted to the surroundings. It is absolutely wrong to just rely on one-sidedly without doing anything yourself. Kazuki Hirasawa 《 Harold Kazuki Hirasawa 《 Harold Kazuki Hirasawa >> I want to say, “Please do your best.”

Well, that’s a terribly selfish argument.

“I don’t know if you remember this word, but this is the result of being helped and surviving. L127 “>” tsu! “

The chair rang, and Clara’s restraint was shaken off, and Colette couldn’t stand Harold’s rant and jumped out of the house. Was it her tears that reflected slightly in the darkness?

There is silence between Harold and Clara.

(… maybe I overstated it)

Harold’s mouth has a reputation for being too original. If I had to be a stopper when I got hot, it would be like this.

I drank the tea that had begun to cool while sweating cold in my heart. I mean, I didn’t have time anymore.

Even though I’m asking Ell for a horse, I can’t reach the neighboring town until dawn unless I leave Broche village. If that happens, Liner will be forced to board the Fog Valley alone. As a safety measure, I can’t take my time here to sneak in.

“Clara”

“… Yes”

“Colette chases Liner” Don’t stop if you say “.”

“… Why? If Harold says, I can’t help but stop Collet as a mother.”

>

You are right.

But I can’t help but nod here. If this persuasion seems to be useless, I have no choice but to have Ell burn it, but it is this Clara that will be the barrier at that point.

I would like to say something like that.

“Hmm, is there that daughter for this parent? You haven’t changed at all.”

“What’s that …”

“The stupidity of being trapped in a meaningless amulet”

“No way, Harold-sama was that child from the beginning.” I’m going to protect you …? “

I’m not going to say that much. However, I will spare no effort to support from behind so that it will be as the original. It may be the highest probability for a collet to survive.

Since most humans will die if Justus’s plan is successful, Colette, a member of the protagonist party struggling to thwart the plan, is a deadly place. You should be able to find a way out.

“That’s all for the story. Keep in mind that it’s useless to say that I’m here. “

Harold leaves home with that.

Three hours left until dawn.

◇

Spring has passed and although it has become warmer, the night breeze still stains a little. It’s superfluous if you’re wearing light clothes because you’ve jumped out of your way.

But Colette doesn’t feel like going home.

“Relying” and “depending” are different things “

” How powerless it is to be weak, you I thought I knew it by myself. Still, if you choose to live as a weak person, love it. ”

Harold’s harsh words echo in my head all the time.

I was angry as he said. I was disappointed that I couldn’t say it back. But first of all, I was so happy with the status quo that I didn’t notice Harold’s advice, and I felt sorry for myself because I couldn’t grow anything. I regretted the days when I didn’t do anything.

I wonder why this happened, and Colette endures tears while looking up at the starry sky.

I had a humble life until yesterday, but I was happy. I had a dear mother, a good childhood friend, and I wasn’t dissatisfied or anxious.

Such everyday life collapses in a blink of an eye. What was left behind was regret that I couldn’t finish, and my helpless self. Was this what Harold was worried about five years ago?

With no power and no help, Collet wanders around. There are many memories of spending time with Liner here and there. I couldn’t understand how important those things that were so commonplace until now were.

“Are you collet?”

Suddenly, such a voice arrived on the night breeze. When I turned to the voice, I saw Ell with a smile that was the same as in the daytime.

It seems that I have walked to the west gate, which is the entrance to the village. I don’t remember where and how I walked.

“What happened to this late night? It’s so light clothes”

My stupidity was pointed out mercilessly and I ran away I couldn’t say that I came.

Colette returns a question to Ell asking him to refuse to answer.

“There were a lot of things. What happened to Ell with a horse?” I was beaten up. I was told to sell a new horse because I crushed my horse. “

” Are you afraid? “

“Yeah. A man with red eyes, about the same age as Colette. He has sharp eyes, and he sold it in two replies.”

“> Colette had an idea of what Ell calls a” scary man. ” Definitely Harold. From that behavior, it seems that he came to this village in a hurry.

And this time to the royal capital …

“That?”

Then Colette noticed something strange. Why did Elle, who sold his horse to Harold, come from the West Gate, which leads to the neighboring town, instead of the East Gate, which leads to the royal capital?

“What’s wrong?”

I couldn’t help but ask Ell, who leans her head.

“Hey El. Where did the person who sold the horse go?”

“It’s in the west. Hurry. It seems that I headed to the neighboring town. Was it an urgent matter? “

Why? Such feelings swirl in the collet.

Harold once said he would return to the royal capital. He said that chasing Trinity alone would be dangerous and would not produce any results.

Why did he head to the neighboring town, west of the royal capital? Even so, I hurried to wake up a staying merchant in the middle of the night.

(Maybe to help Liner …?)

I have an idea that suits me. That’s not true because Harold said he wouldn’t follow Liner.

But Collet didn’t have enough material to deny that idea.

And I remember at the same time. Many times Clara told me what happened when Harold saved them.

I lied to my parents and hid Clara in the dungeon, and in the meantime I made a careful plan.

They gave us a lot of money withdrawn from their father for free with a sword.

Then, the jockey’s question that he might not be able to buy a sword because he runs out of funds is “A fool or you. I cut it off.

As a result, they accepted it even though they were despised as murderers, and they kept themselves so that their survival was not known.

“… I’m really stupid”

I knew his kindness wasn’t straightforward.

I knew that his rigor was the flip side of kindness.

I knew by myself that he was a tremendously kind person.

I should have known that the lie he tells is to hurt himself and save someone.

What doesn’t chase Liner? Then why are you running your horse in the opposite direction of the royal capital now?

The bad reputation may be something that you carry on your back. Because that person is a person who saves someone by getting dirty.

In retrospect, that was the case.

“I thought you knew how powerless it was to be weak. Still, if you choose to live as a weak person, do whatever you like. ”

That word still has a continuation. Harold then continued, “I didn’t know.” Colette remembers it word for word.

I now realize that it was also a lie.

(I don’t know, it’s a lie. Harold has always been concerned about us …)

Although I never visited him directly, Colette knows that the jockeys who brought them to this village occasionally watched us from afar. It’s not once or twice, but regularly.

I’m sure he was telling Harold how the collets lived.

Maybe Harold felt a sense of crisis there. That’s why I think I was exposed to such bitter words when I met again.

I didn’t notice it. On the contrary, I was angry, albeit for a moment, at Harold, who didn’t help Liner.

Regret, embarrassment, and compassion that are incomparable to the previous ones are attacking.

What are you doing when Harold has done so much? Depression and crouching are not enough.

Helping Liner and responding to Harold’s thoughts.

“–I have to chase”

Return my heels to get what I need.

Ell’s voice is thrown on his back.

“Chasing that scary person?”

“Yeah”

” Isn’t it unreasonable to run and catch up with someone on a horse? “

That’s a very realistic and correct decision.

But that’s it. There is no longer any reason for Colette to stop. Even if it’s unreasonable or unreasonable, if you give up here, something will really end. I felt like that.

“I’m still going”

“Oh, by the way, this is a soliloquy, but it seems that people who aren’t scared are in a hurry, so money I put an extra horse. Specifically, it’s about two horses. At this rate, one of the horses I prepared to have him choose will be wasted. “

” Eh? “

” But if you bring this amount of money home, your uncle may suspect that you’ve cheated from the customer, and the surplus horses are clinging to that area. Let’s keep it. Someone might take it with me, but I can’t help it. After all, I have enough money to sell two of them. “

Yeah, I can’t help it.

While repeating such words with a stick reading, Ell disappears toward the inn where she is staying. All that was left was a collet in his sleepwear and a Hayauma connected to the gatepost.

Colette bowed to Elle leaving.

“Thank you, L”

“I have no idea what kind of thank you, but I’m grateful to receive it.”

The shrugging behavior is so deliberate that I can’t help but laugh. The horses that were connected also snorted as if they understood the interaction between the two.

I had less than two hours left until dawn.
