Cresencia walks around a bit, looking at us.

Her movements are awkward due to nervousness. Her restlessness, combined with her short stature, makes her look like a small animal.

 Well, that's what makes her so cute.

I'm not much of an animal lover,------, but through Crescencia, I think I understand a little bit about how adorable animals can be.

 How should I greet them?

 I guess "How do you do?"

It was a funny thing to say to those of whom we had met before, but Almire's guess was that Cresencia had come to that place to hide from something.

If that's the case, it's better not to have the fact that we met up there.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Crecencia."

"What?"

 When I greeted her, Cresencia shook her shoulders and hid behind Almire.

 Eh, oh, it's over. This is definitely a hater. I've never been so explicitly avoided in all my life on this side of the world. And of all people, the first time is at Crescencia.

 I stood there stunned, and Cresencia hid from me. Because the other party is royalty, everyone here is unable to find the right words to say, and silence fills the room. (There is one fox, grinning in amusement. I knew I hate animals and . (No way.)

 The only one who broke the silence was the only one who stood alongside Crescencia in position.

"Don't be so downhearted. Perhaps you are just shy.'

"Is that so?"

"The princess rarely left the castle. She has been living in the same place for years, surrounded by the same people. It is natural that she is shy, isn't it? Hey, Crecencia?"

"-----you know..."

 Cresencia looks down apologetically.

"She is a very good girl. princess is shy one ".

 

"What a shame. It's a waste of power to be in a cage. Why don't you just shake off the eyes of the people around you and fly out as you like?"

 Lieselotte looked at Crescencia with pity , maybe because she is prinsess as well

 ---, huh? I understood what Lieselotte meant.

 It's true, isn't it? It's because she rarely comes out, and that's why the Urgall Evil cult has been aiming for the timing of this martial arts tournament.

 And Crescencia was shy in the story, too!

 Good. Then there is still a possibility that we can become friends.

 As I was spinning my thoughts while staring at Cresencia, Saraswati poked me in the side.

"What?"

"Do you seriously like Her Highness?"

"Don't you mean you don't like Her Highness?'

  Ireplied in a whisper. Saraswathi's brow furrowed slightly.

"No, I don't. But it's not going to happen, is it?"

"I understand the difference in status. It's not that I want to be marry to her.'

 I want to, but as long as Crecencia is saved, I don't care what happens to her.

 I have seen her die with despair thousands of times.

 I've let her die every time I've tried desperately to find a different roure for her.

 That's why I can assure her that if I could save her with this one chance, I would be more than happy.

"What then? What do you want to be to her ?"

"I want to be an escort, or if I can't be an escort, I want to support her from the shadows.

'Is that what you've been trying to do all this time?"

'Not only for that. It is one of many reasons. But it's a big part of it."

------

 Saraswati's face contorted and she turned her head down, and then she said nothing more. The side view seen through the gap in the hair down seems to be unfaithful --- and then he was kicked in the shin under the table.

" What are you doing? "

 "------ No, that wasn't Saras. , it was me."

 Lucy interrupts from the side, but she deny it once and for all.

" "No, that was Salas, wasn't it?"

'Why? Lucy said it was her."

'I'm used to getting my ass kicked by Saras. It was Saras' habit to kick me.'

'------ boy. Aren't you ashamed to say that?"

"Oh, well."

 Surely, what's so sad about having to identify the way kicks?

Huh, kuh, ah ha."

 Huh?

 It was Crescencia who burst out laughing, as if she couldn't take it anymore. I guess she tried to hold back somehow. She blushed strangely, noticed my gaze, and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, it was just so funny.

 Ah, that's it. That's the smile.

 It was this smile that made me fall in love with the Crescencia character.

 Aside from the last battle, there are several encounters with Crescencia, who has fallen into the hands of the Evil Cult of Ulgor.

 Most of the time involved fighting, but there was only one time when they had a chance to talk.

 There, the girl, already steeped in darkness and helplessly cruel, smiles as she does now, as if to exude a goodness that cannot be discarded.

 The gap between the two grabbed my heart and made me wonder about the character Crescencia.

 What kind of character is she? Is there a route to save her? Once I knew everything, I tried to save her even if I had to... and here we are.

 At that time, when I saw this smile for the first time, I couldn't help Cresencia anymore.

 But this girl in front of me now, I might still be able to save her.

 Oh, God. I still love her. Because she's so cute.

 I have to save her no matter what.

That's why the first step is a martial arts tournament. I definitely can't have a poor result. The only person I can lose to is Lucy. If I don't even make it past that, I have to believe that the future I desire will never come.

 Naturally, my fists tightened.

 

While chatting with the girls, Schneizel sensed a change in his pupil.

He had always thought of him as a child with little laxity. He had been impressed by the way his pupil was becoming overwhelmingly strong, putting in efforts on his own that even an adult could not do.

 But this...

He is unconscious, but he is certainly taking the plunge.

Norwin's stance, as he stared at Crescencia with a serious expression, radiated a presence that Schneizel and other absolutely strong people wear.

Still small, the air of a blowing away. It was a slight change that I noticed only because Schneizel is as close to the top as possible.

 If he is not active even a little from now on, it is quite possible that he will not blossom as a warrior.

 Right now, that's all there is to it.

 But even so, Schneizel does not know of anyone who has come this far at the age of six.

This presence is not obtained by strength alone.

The key is resolve.

Guardias became a pillar of the country, and Schneizel became a hero of the country, and they were able to finally put on their own armor after deciding on their own determination to become a pillar of the country.

That is why it is impossible for a child who does not have such feelings to step into the world. It was impossible, but it was supposed to be.

Norwin's eyes as he looks at Crescencia are filled with resolve.

(If he's that into the princess, shouldn't he be allowed to grow as much as he wants?)

Depending on the results of the martial arts tournament, I might try to sell my apprentice to the king. Schneizel secretly decided to do so
