Chapter 69 (2/2)

Anjie casted her eyes dohile embarrassed

“Fool That's why I──”

“I, I' friends with you──”

However, the luxury liner shook violently once more, and this time Livia was driven off the shi+p Anjie reached her arm out, but couldn't reach Livia

“──Ah!”

Seeing Anjie's grieving face, Livia smiled As she descended, Anjie was about to burst into tears

A gray air bike then dove straight towards the surface of the sea

“Leon!”

I readied un

I prepared to aim at theether in front of her chest, as if praying

Her affectionate face told me that she placed her faith in me──and it irritated me that I had no choice but to meet her expectations I couldn't make any mistakes

Surrounding er, and I put away the shotgun

I let go of the handles and let Luxon steer

“I'll be relying on you”

[I will adjust our relative velocity Please take caution]

I caught Livia in my arms

It looked as if I was perfor a princess carry

[We will be landing on the sea surface Prepare for impact]

“This is getting really hectic!”

I tightly held Olivia close, bracing for the impact as the bottom of the air bike struck the surface of the sea

As we travelled along the sea surface, sprays of water splashed behind us The air bike gradually increased altitude

Olivia clung onto

While ehtly patted her head to comfort her

“It's all right now I'll get you back up there, so don't worry, Olivia”

Upon which──

“It's Livia!”

She asserted that I call her by her nicknaer will than before, as if she was angry in some way

“Hey, uh──”

“It's Livia! Why can't you callme Olivia?”

Luxon was silent

It was currently piloting Schwert and gradually raising its altitude, but it would have been nice for it to helpwith these kinds of situations

“──I'ood for you You should be with a more decent man”

“What are you saying?! What does this have to do with other guys?!”

“I'uys out there with pretty faces, wealth, and other things, right? You're better off with a suitable man rather than with me!”

“I don't──understand!”

She would normally becomedefiant and stubborn

Her partners were the capture target boys

They were all useless people, but it was fine as long as Olivia would be happy

Those five were better than me

“Someone like Julian!”

“I don't to be with the one who abandoned Anjie!”

“Well then, look! There's Jilk!”

“Isn't he black-hearted?!”

“Brad!”

“A narcissist!”

“Greg!”

“A meathead!”

“Chris!”

“An attention seeker!”

It seemed she had perceived their characteristics quite well That was a bit a

“It can't be anyone else! I──I want to be with you, Leon! I want Anjie and us to have fun together like before!”

H, however, at this rate, I wouldn't be beneficial for Olivia

“N, nothing fruitful will happen if you be with ood do you even see in me?!”

“I want to be with you Leon, you're kind, strong──no wait, that's not why I like you a lot, Leon! That's all! I like you!”

I hung my head

Up until now, the only other person who openly said that they liked me was my own mother

I didn't think I would hear that in this world

Luxon spoke to me

[Master, we're arriving at the airshi+p]

I put the shotgun into my hand I loaded it with bullets, and then I spoke in a quiet voice towards Olivia──err, Livia while embarrassed for some unknown reason

“Hold tight onto my back──L, Livia”

“Okay!”

When I said her nickname back then, I was nonchalant about it

I didn't think much of it before, but noas very conscious about it for some reason

Livia smiled, went around to behind et nervous having soainst them?

I couldn't sense the feeling of her chest since the clothing I as so thick, though!

Perhaps sensing as going on froht voice

[Master, your pilot suit has been specially made]

“So you're that kind of person!”

As I shouted while readying the shotgun, I bleay the monsters that appeared in front of the air bike

The luxury liner was inclining from the attacks led by the principality's warshi+ps

It seemed that they were completely helpless since the principality's warshi+ps and the athered around them

Running out of shotgun shells to fire, I was forced to return to the luxury liner and sneak Schwert onto the deck

Luxon spoke

[Schwert, thank you for your hard work I will definitely do some maintenance on you afterwards]

I placed the shotgun inside Schwert and took Livia along as I got off

Anjie ran up

She and Livia then embraced each other

“You fool Fool! You had ”

“Anjie──I'm sorry”

It was precious seeing the girls cry while hugging each other Who was it that said a friendshi+p between girls would be short-lived? This was lovely

Mayhem ensued within the battlefield

Due to the principality's warshi+ps, ere indeed in danger, even if there weren't any cannonballs being launched

At this rate, the luxury liner would sink

Luckily, there haven't been any casualties, but it was only a s continued on like this

“Luxon How er?”

[As calculated──it has just arrived]

Once I heard that, I took out my pocket watch and checked the time

Right on time──perfect

In the far distance, I could ure of Partner

While Anjie was hugging Livia, she could see Partner approach

“Could it be that you called it over? Being able to send information to it at such a distance──”

I smiled in response to Anjie

“It was standing by somewhere close I'm a art, after all Luxon──”

[I've already done it]

Before I could finish speaking, Luxon stated that preparations were ready

It was ti aside

The military formation of the principality's troops was destroyed once the new airshi+p, Partner, entered the battlefield
