“I-is it true?”
“What is?”
“That, that you won in a duel with a Knight of the Iht!” screah to shake the room
“Oh, that? It turned out like that, yeah” I rubbeddeal
“Kyre!”
Russell grabbed me in an embrace
'Oi oi, why are there some today?'
After the storht into the war what kind of iedlared fiercely at is was by the knights of the empire
'Huhu, now Bebeto belongs to me! Uhuhuhu!'
The Crown Prince had turned and left, but Marquis Merive me formal ownershi+p of Bebeto
“You're a!”
Even though Russell would have to give up on his drea third and last flight test, he was sincerely happy for me, as if it was his own matter
'But seriously, why do I feel so happy to get hugged by this guy?'
I had shed ular cadet outfit As Russell hugged ed My body began to heat up with an itchy sensation
'No! I don't like men!'
In these last few ed my sexuality His freshly bathed skin was pluave off a faint fragrance If he was next tohirab his hand, but I fire where I knew everything I should and then some I didn't want to betray the pure heart of a man with someone of the same sex
“R-Russell, what's with you today…”
Feeling strange, I tried to break away fro from his eyes
'What the, he's crying?'
“Hngg…”
These days, Russell spent a lot of tiht, he buried his face into my chest and cried
'Alright, there are tiht with sympathy Russell had an indispensable reason why he needed to becoht He was surely disappointed in hi so fearful every time he tried to ride a wyvern
“Thank you… you at least will becoht”
'Russell…'
For the first tis His wordsThere was almost a woman's ardency as she worried about someone she loved in his voice
'Alright, friend I'll guide you!'
Even if I couldn't guidewith milk and honey like Moses, I wanted to help ift as a Skyknight
“Chin up…”
I gently e I could do for hiht now
'This is nice'
As I did so, I once again felt that Russell's s was really very comfortable
'So what should I do now?'
Bebeto beca and care I didn't have a ground crew like the other Skyknights, and because I hadn't fore yet, my social status was unclear
'Why is everyone giving me so much side-eye?'
That was another problelances It wasn't just Skyknights, but crewmates and soldiers as well As soon as they saw ers at me with their eyes
'I'is, even the Skyknights are excluding reat start'
I had no desire to live es had to overcome diversity and hardshi+p That was the future in store for me
'Bebeto, you brat, shall we give you a bath?'
Even if I didn't have a crews I had to do for Bebeto I wanted to clean up his dirty hangar and scrub away the years of neglect on his body
'The weather sure is great!'
It was a typical spring day The hillside around the covert was lush with green leaves and flohose nao on a picnic I appreciated the ar
'Eh?'
Bebeto belonged to ar door before returning to the dorms, but the door was currently wide open
And it wasn't just that A huge cloud of dust was getting swept out of the hangar So
'Who is it? Without my permission—!'
Part ofsoar without my permission
“Who is it! Who dares—”
I quickly ran inside and just as quickly shut
'Igis! Derval!'
Igis, as supposed to return to the palace today, eating as she swept the ground, and the helpless Derval was staring at the princess with a nervous expression
“Princess…”
“Hoho, Kyre-ni”
Igis had surely never held a broo in her life But now, she was rather skillfully gathering up the dust and sweeping the ground Her refined face was sooty with sweat and dust as she threw a happy smile my way
“I, I tried to stop her, but…”
When I turned to Derval, he stammered out an excuse It seemed even he did not believe that an imperial princess who could even beco up her sleeves to sweep and scrub
“Please hand those over If others were to find out about this…”
'I will die!'
I was already the eneht If the fact that the princess had personally cleaned a dirty hangar got out, I ht become the victim of terrorism
“It's alright I wanted to do at least this much for Bebeto”
Having escaped his steel shackles, Bebeto was blinking his golden eyes as he watched the princess cleaning his hangar with satisfaction
'Igis isn't your servant! Oi!' I retorted inwardly, flailing an iinary fist at this cheeky brat
He was noyvern, but he clearly needed soive him some special education in the near future
“Please give those tois…”
“Oh my…!”
In rab the wooden broois' hand as she tried to dodge
'Lucky grab…'
Igis' face instantly reddened I couldn't understand how a princess, of all people, could be like this A swaris was doing manual labor with a kind heart Her warht intobeco and a is froan to energetically sweep the dusty floor
“Pft… hohoho”
At hed The stuffy, dusty hangar was lit up by her radiance
“Princess!”
With clattering footsteps, the Iar with blanched faces They probably got scolded until their ears fell off yesterday
'Your poor sops, you've got your hands full with a single princess'
Fro as ithout any word
“I apologize,” she said with her head bowed towards the I over with pale faces Her graceful courtesy was truly beautiful to witness
“His Highness the Crown Prince is waiting” Dipping his head iht respectfully asked Igis to depart
“Kyre-niht?”
'Invite!!'
Most people lived their whole lives without being able to see the inner palace where the Iht up
“Of course If you invitepost-haste”
How could I possibly refuse? 'I hear the palace cooking is killer Huhu'
There ide-spread ruhts who had visited the palace about the incredible cooking there I also wanted to try it once
“Then…”
Princess Igis gracefully lowered her head I hurried to boer than her
“Bebeto, be well I'll is, her voice ith tears
Guooo Bebeto gave her a careful farewell as well
Then, Igis left, surrounded by Ihts
'What a shame… damn'
Only once I atching her retreating back did is after this would be hard for the ti The short but sweet h my mind like a film loop
'But wait, why is Derval here?'
Derval had suffered harsh advice froh and depressed demeanour I was fa into a bright smile
“Please take me on I will entrust my dreams and hopes on you, Sir Kyre”
After turning away frois, Derval fell to his knees The immature pride he had flared at me before was nowhere to be seen
“Why?” I couldn't just accept him like this
“Didn't you tell me that when you live, there will be a day when the sun rises! Sir Kyre, please be that sun for me!” Derval cried passionately, his voice thick with sincerity
Guoo
“I get it, I get it!'
Catching on quickly, Bebeto voiced his opinion
“Can you do well? Even though Bebeto and I are in a tough position?”
“If it's you, Sir Kyre, you will overco That confidence and skill to restore your honor even in front of the Crown Prince hi e”
It seeht
“Alright If that's how you truly feel, I will take you on However…” I trailed off and stared deeply into Derval's passionate eyes “Don't stab me in the back I hate people who betray my trust the most”
With a painful sounding thuround
“I will serve you, Sir Kyre, with my very life!”
'Just give me about half of your life If you do that, I'll take care of your e, house, and honor!'
I first learned that it wasn't easy to take responsibility for soirl named Lee Suli had always followed raduation day, I cried and threw a fit, refusing to say goodbye
In the end, I was given a scolding by my mother “The moment you take responsibility for Lee Suli, you won't be able to buy a single one of those Yu-Gi-Oh cards you like so et every day, and you won't be able to sleep the way you want to at night,” she warned sternly
That's when I realized Taking responsibility for another life was only possible for a pure saint who could share as his
That being said, Derval was a h to buy as many Yu-Gi-Oh cards as I wanted I decided to take in Derval with an open mind
'This guy poops a lot too, so this is good'
Of course, I wasn't just taking hi-sized poops or huge appetite, ok?!
“That's that, but what do we have to do now?”
“Pardon?”
“I was entrusted with Bebeto on the fly, but I'ht yet… it's an aard position”
I was also worried about becoet The moment his pride fell apart, he had pierced me with bloodthirsty eyes I was sure that all hell would break loose as soon as he found fault with me
“I heard that you have been recognized by His Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency, Covert Coleamed
“Yeah”
“If so, please go to His Excellency the Marquis and receive the Skyknight formal letter of appointe now, but you can only be foroods in the covert if you have a formal letter of appointment”
“Is that so?”
'Huhu, it's good I have him'
I was confident I wouldn't lose in a head-on fight, but all the little odds and ends made my head hurt
“It's especially important for Bebeto, because as a hybrid wyvern, the other Skyknights and wyverns will be on guard against him”
