CSWH Chapter 35: Promise

After that, everyone was going to drink even more, so I decided to head back on my own

Kuroitsu-san said in a tearful voice, ”I at least have to eat at hoet sick of me……!” -and tried to run away, but unfortunately was captured by everyone and taken away

”Mel, it's scary to go hoht? Please say it's scary! My excuse to run away……no, since I invited you, as expected I need to take responsibility to et back” - is what Kuroitsu-san said while crying and asking for help, but I simply watched over that sort of him in mute amazement

Because, when he was captured, everyone'straining, and even I could just barely react to theenuinely surprised

……by no lint upon hearing the word ”wife”, so I got scared and pretended not to see him

”Mel~!!”

”You , Kuroitsu-san Mel-chan will be fine even without an escort It's still bright, and er than us Hence, there's no need to worry, so let's go drink”

I heard such a voice saying thus from a distance, and silently cheered Kuroitsu-san on in my heart

Well……it's still around sunset

I've finally coo back like this, thus I decided to drop by the tower

The guards were also fa o up a number of stairs

”……Rui……”

When I reached the top floor, I involuntarily let out a voice at that familiar appearance from behind

Perhaps because I muttered so close by, it reached his ears, and he slowly turned around

”It's been a while, Mel”

Though he spoke with a slightly tired expression, he wasa soft smile

”Yes, truly It's been a while”

”……you're looking ht you'd be”

Now that I think of it, ever since the bandits were captured, I haven't met with him

At his slightly surprised expression that seemed to express how unexpected it was, I reflexively smiled

”I'm sorry

”……why are you apologizing?”

”I did say 'I will give y directly the next ti onto you, and tried to corner you This is the apology for that”

As he bowed his head sincerely, I felt row deeper and deeper

”Please don't apologize It's true that……I was irritated at that time However, it's as you said”

I suppressedthe words I had to say to convey the things I had to tell him

”I was only looking at the past, cos I have in the present In reality, when the bandits were captured…… disappeared, and I became an empty human”

I lost uidepost, and felt as if I were thrown out into the darkness, feeling a fear of the obscure future Thus, I felt impatience and futility

Like that……when I is would've been if I remained unable to see in front of me, it makes me shi+ver

”However, at that time, my brother's words and your letter helped me to face forward”

[Don't live in a hurry If you need some sort of objective, then it is fine to find another one once more] - His words that were composed into a letter

”However……you are alive You're alive……!” - Those earnest words that

Because I had both of those, I aht now

I became able to look at that ti my eyes from

Since that tiain

”……that's why, thank you”

When I said that and sain

”You've changed”

”Is that so?”

”YeahYour sharp atmosphere that made it feel as if I'd be stabbed if I approached you has disappeared”

I have so of Now that yousimilar to that before

”……that ht now, I'm have a lot of fun”

”I see That's good”

Feeling ehly to his side and sat close next to him

I sat because I couldn't look at him

If you sit in this position where you could look down on the town and watch the scenery, it probably won't be unnatural to not meet the eyes of him as he stands

”……now that I think of it, you were able to distinguish the captured bandits as et? Could it be that you knew?”
