Vol Chapter 17 (2/2)

“I understand. I’m going to Caspar.”

Alex’s eyes widened.

“What did you underst--–!?”

I interrupted Alex’s remark as he became angry, and continued.

“For me, this world is nothing more than Alex, Urie and everyone in the garden. Above all, there are favors I received from Alex which I cannot completely return. Besides, Alex also said that it’s fine for you to go out to a war for my sake. Doesn’t that mean Alex gives priority to me more than to yourself? If that’s the case, then I will give priority to Alex over myself. Also, this choice is not just for the citizens of Orania. This is also for the citizens of the country that might declare war against us. If war happens, I’m sure Alex will knock them down, right?”

When I said that much without pausing, Alex embraced me tightly.

“Perhaps, this is the reason why I came to this country. When I think of the possiblity that Alex was the one to pick me up, it’s somehow cool.”

My voice is a little tearful, I burried my face in Alex’s chest.

“It’s not for such reason. Haruto must have come to this country to find happiness.”

Alex pats my head.

My heart is always rescued by this palm.

“Yeah, I’m sure I can become happy.”

I muttered as if to convince myself.
