Chapter 58 (2/2)

The resolve to be killed, and the resolve to kill

And……because it is iain those who have been lost, the sincerity to never forget those ere sacrificed

Because it was so that connected to my internal beliefs, elder brother's words heavily resounded in onist desired it, she was born in the house that governs the village As there wasn't e, we don't know if it's applicable or not, but……if she was born in that house, then she probably enjoyed a rather good lifestyle aht? If that were the case, then that would have been the co herself in the future for the sake of the village's develop that had been done for her up until then, then she probably should have borne the responsibility of the choice she made And then, she also had to have had the sincerity to never forget that which had been sacrificed as well……if she chose her path without bearing all of that, then what she did couldn't be considered anything other than……a child's selfishness”

”To call it a sacrifice is quite an interesting way of putting it”

”Is that so? ……In order to gain soive up fro so that you wouldn't have to sacrifice anything is a folly, but……though I s that you cannot do anything about If you were to speak of that story, then it would be the bonds with her fae people paid for, and her future from then on with her companion merchant”

”……her future with her coht If he chose the protagonist, then that merchant naturally had to pay soonist did For exae store, then it is possible that he also had his own fiancée If he cast away that engageonist, then he probably wouldn't be able to return to the store that he was supposed to inherit In addition……if he headed to a new land, then he may have lost all of the important connections he had created as a merchant Well, those are just speculations based on the story Mel told s would have been”

Elder brother's words gave ht that it was fine to just bear the responsibilities of my own actions

However, it was true……even if I was somehow able to run away fros to him, it would just become a burden to hie

Now……could I really per so hard in order to attain the ideals that he holds?

……the ansas no

I know after all

Because I listened to him speak of them with his own mouth

Just how oal while perfor his duties in a respectable manner

Despite that, will it be I who closes up his path?

That……that alone is somy eyebrows, elder brother called out toI would like to think for a while”

”Is that so……?”

”Yes”

Though he didn't appear very convinced, upon seeingany further would be pointless

”……no matter what sort of path you choose, I will not bla anything else, I raised ret it Do not become someone that you cannot be proud of Because if the time comes when all of that occurs……I believe that will be theyou have cultivated up until then”

”Elder brother……”

”Your figure as you pursed the path of the military arts looked very brilliant to me I'm sure that inside of you is an unshakeable heart I alanted to continue to adure of yours”

His unexpected words rendered me unable to immediately respond

I could only stupidly keep my mouth open with my jaw dropped foolishly

”Isn't it obvious? At the very least, I am the heir to the noble Anderson Marquis House, you know? There's no way I wouldn't admire your talent”

I didn't know……that elder brother had thought of me in that manner

”Elder brother……that, do you not feel that having to inherit the Marquis House is a heavy burden? That you want to abandon it, or run away……have you not ever thought about instead doing so on a position where you could engage in drafting strategies for the ar that I haven't would be a lie”

Elder brother let out a wry smile at ht that……I will eventually bear a large duty with this body of mine On the other hand, it e of an authority I no longer want to lose soain like that, and I also do not want to allow anyone else to experience such a loss If I am to move in order to fulfill that desire even a little, then having such a large authority isn't a bad thing, right?”

……it was the same

Elder brother's as the same as the one that I always held in ret rose inthe path obstructed, have I……stubbornly held onto my dream and allowed in with, have I not forgotten what ht to in with, why do you plan on entering the Arood opportunity to look back upon yourself using a wide point of view? Was entering the Aroal?]

……indeed, it was like that

Like that, I spoke to myself internally as if respond to his words from the past

”Thank you very much, elder brother”

At my sudden thanks, elder brother silently extended his hand and patunfelt sensation

”……the words I said earlier weren't a lie No matter what sort of path you choose, I think that it's fine as long as you don't regret it”

Leaving those words behind, elder brother left the room
