Chapter 14: Leonhardt
“We have a lot of fritters, so don’t be shy about asking. And these are deep-fried water reapers.”
The two did not touch the fritters, possibly because they were nervous or afraid of eating the monster. But, seeing Leonhardt eating, the warrior took the initiative.”
“…Uh!”
“…U,uu~u.”
Lysette panics as the healer sobs while eating.
“Was it a little too much for you?”
She asks, shaking her head slightly, as she hands over her water.
“No, it’s that…”
“Oh! It’s so good! very…”
“delicious—It just makes me think of that meal…”
“Eh? You’ve never had Kraken?”
“None.”
Leonhardt vehemently denies it.
“Unfortunately, they are just regular squid and octopus that we once had in a seaside town and had a feast while drinking ale and wine.”
“That sounds like a lot of fun.”
Leonhardt’s green eyes look back into the past.
“Yeah, it was fun. I believed we could accomplish anything with our team.”
Leonhardt picks up his sword and stares at the sheathed blade.
“I haven’t changed my mind since then. I will defeat the dragon. “
His firm determination was evident in his strong words. There was no second thought.
Even though his friends betrayed him, even though he knew the choice was to give up, Leonhardt chose to fulfill his goal.”
“Leonhardt-sama…”
“Leonhardt, we are…”
“I still haven’t forgiven you.”
Leonhardt’s truthful words cause both of them to nod like children. They are well aware of what they have done.
“It’s not that I don’t understand your point of view.”
Lysette blinked while eating a crispy fried water reaper.
—Oh my
It’s understandable that Leonhardt can’t forgive them given his circumstances. On the other hand, he expressed deep sympathy for both of them and their situation.
His obstinate heart had melted before he realized it.
And this change of heart was what brought them back to life.
“Answer me. Why did you come back?”
“… I couldn’t bear leaving Leonhardt alone here.”
“You’re a fool to involve Hilde in this.”
“I-I’m the one who suggested it.”
Leonhardt exhaled a small, irritated sigh.
“How about Erene?”
“Erene-sama has returned to the country with Klaus-sama—Sai has gone missing.”
“Ah, I see.”
Leonhardt’s profile appeared lonely, but he also appeared clear.
“Return to the country. Pretend I’m dead.”
