”Ufufu~, well then, see you later Auguste, please apologize properly, okay~?”
Devil-san and Goldberry who jumped on her shoulder winked casually
Somehow, they were in a perfect sync
While I was stunned, the pair of a person and a dragon had disappeared behind the door
She was truly an elusive person
When I felt a little aard, I heard the steps of Auguste
As expected he seemed to be uncomfortable
”Greetings, Angel-sama”
”I'ry after all”
”Yes, I ary”
Auguste smiled as if troubled, and took one step closer
Without thinking, I took a step backward
He turned his eyes away from me with a smile on his face
Although his sot deeper, at the same time I felt like he became more depressed
”Yeah, but, that el' never existed……besides, you wouldn't want to coe person like me”
”Why would you think so?”
”If you get along with et surrounded by bad rumors”
Auguste said so with a smile that had no hesitation on his face
The lack of dark shadow of depression in his expression only made it clearer to me that he was deeply sad
With a s poker face, the Foolish Prince who covered his heart with a massive wall seemed to have been completed by this time
”I'm sorry Thank you It's only one day and I already messed it up, but still I had a lot of fun today thanks to you”
”Then, ere you like that?”
”If you know aboutmanner as before In addition……”
”In addition?”
”An angel cannot becoel if his identity was exposed That's the rule”
Auguste attached his index finger to his lips and smiled with a face like a mischievous child
Only at that el-san who I met in the cathedral came back
But Auguste soon turned his heel, so the Angel-san disappeared beyond his lonely back
”Does Prince Auguste want to be an angel?”
”I could be either an angel or a devil as long as I could fly in the sky”
He looked up at the night sky
I couldn't see his expression, but surely he was s for it
Even if he was sad and there was no tear co
”Do you want to fly in the sky?”
”I want to fly”
A surprisingly strong voice responded
He stretched his tre hands to the far away sky that he couldn't reach
”I want to fly I really want to fly If I could fly in the sky……as long as I can fly in the sky, everything will be restored and everything will go well”
”Auguste-sama……”
”Oh……it's a story that had nothing to do with Ericjousan”
Looking back to uste became the alabaster statue prince who had fixed the mask of a deep smile on his face
”While I aht of the South I aon knights who yearn for the sky”
With a slight chest pain, I was convinced
This person, Auguste, would give everything to fly
His craving would make him to finally reach out for the contract beast by ic
But even if he made a contract, if he fused with the beast, only destruction would be waiting for him
Even if he knew that he would coon by the beast's runaway six years in the future, he definitely would not stop
”The story has diverted Well, that is why I apologize for keeping you here”
”It's alright……”
He became unapproachable
It would be difficult to break through the thick wall of his heart
At that ti instrument could be heard
It was even louder than the Ignitia's music in the hall
It was not the contes, but son sound
It probably was an arrangement that was still a prototype
I could hear a rando instrument solo
”This voice, Devil-san?”
”That wo woman……”
”Uwah, that person, she can play instruments……she's very deft”
”Aah, it's because that person - Palug - can do anything”
Auguste, who forgot to put on a smile, made a bitter face
That was a soe conversation, but now his face looked much more natural
”Aah, I can't do this Ito make a clean break……”
”Auguste-sama?”
”Sorry Erica I cannot give up on you As expected, I want to stay together with you”
”That……”
Auguste took my hands and looked into my eyes
He looked uneasy
”I understand As a co well”
”'Comrade with few friends', you mean……”
”Oh? Auguste-saht? Do you have any friend besides her?”
”……Goldberry”
”What about human friends?”
”I understand I give up Yes, I have few friends”
Auguste raised his hands with an expression as if he sed a bitter pill
”Well, if we become friends, then the number of friends is 15 at a stroke”
”Wow, that's a rough ic number……but, is it really okay?”
”Huh? You don't want to? That's unfortunate Then I will pray for Auguste-sama to make a more suitable friend”
”No, no, I do not dislike it at all I would like to ask you to become my friend from the bottom of my heart”
He laughed hard and grabbed my hand
Even though he was in a similar situation as me, it would be much better than the friendless condition
I kne difficult it was to be isolated
When the rumors that I 'slept with all the club members' in my previous life was spread, I reh
No, far frory
My childhood friend who attended another school couldn't bear it and got angry instead ofthe lowest should have a limit!'
”But, so Erica also has a few friends, huh”
”Yes But, is that a problem? To only have a few close friends”
”Nope, no probleree with that idea”
Auguste as narrowing his eyes as he laughed looked very innocent
I really wanted to be a friend that could help Auguste at the tiency
As I was thinking such a thing, the tune of the string instrument became somewhat hurried
