Between me and Bena, it was inexplicably dull.

He just looked at me silently, waiting for my answer.

It took me a long time to find my voice, and I finally looked away from his face.

I thought that the identity certificate obtained by Darcy was reliable through the test of the mercenary union, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't hide it from these deep-rooted nobles.

But...... If it's him, if it's Bena, maybe, I can give him more trust......

I suddenly wanted to laugh, even Bennar could be so honest, why should I look forward and backward like this, and care about that.

This is too immature and too indecisive.

I'm no longer the wretched wretched creature I was in my last life, and I shouldn't have been like this again.

"Kroll."

My voice was hoarse and I couldn't speak, and this old name finally came out of my mouth again after many years, and it was so heavy that it made me a little stunned.

“…… You said...... Who are you? Benett was visibly stunned, he looked at me a little confused, and there was a bit of love in his eyes that I couldn't understand.

"My name is Kroll." I sat up with my arms propped up, leaned against the wall, and repeated: "I am a survivor of the fire at the Panson Welfare Home. ”

"I'm called Colo, just because the mage who rescued me asked me to abandon my name and travel around Big 6 and learn healing magic. It's not that he's getting into trouble. I explained slowly, *'s back pressed against the wall, the icy temperature subjecting me to a constant chill, but my mind ...... But the more sober he became.

It seems like a big gamble, and it seems like it's just gossip.

I took what I was hiding and peeled it off in front of him little by little.

There is an inexplicable panic that is quietly growing.

But...... What followed was a long-lost, very relaxing feeling.

☆★☆

"You're Kroll...... "Bena suddenly straightened up despite the wetness of his lower body, and then reached out and held my arm tightly: "How can you be Kroll......"

He looked excited, his hands trembling distinctly, but he muttered my name over and over again.

"...... Benna" I felt that something was wrong with him, and I didn't know why he suddenly became like this, so I could only hold his hand and call his name softly.

"Kroll......" Bednar was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he seemed to come back to his senses.

He looked at me, looking overwhelmed, and his expression was even a little distorted: "...... Will you ...... Leave me ......."

I was stunned for a moment by his abrupt question, and I didn't seem to understand what he meant...... Why did he react like this when he was obedient to him and told him my real name......

I sighed and reached out to stroke his cheek: "What are you thinking, how could I ......"

"But." Bednar interrupted me, his eyes suddenly filled with pain...... There's even a hint of desperation: "I'm Ryan, Kroll, my name is Ryan, Ryan Bednar." ”

Ryan.

My hand froze against his cheek.

I looked at him for a long time, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

The skin under my palm was not smooth, and I rubbed it a few times, and suddenly I felt that it was really ridiculous, and I felt as if it should be taken for granted.

The complicated feelings came to my face, and I felt that there were words in my throat, but I couldn't express them concisely and clearly.

At the end of the day, I had to shout his name.

Ryan ......

I never asked for his name because I thought it didn't matter, but I never thought it would ......

It turned out that he was my ...... A sponsor you have never met.

☆★☆

The silence was broken by my voice, and Bednar suddenly stepped forward and hugged me tightly.

A deep voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of imperceptible trembling: "Now, sue me, you will be ...... for this And leave me? ”

The relationship between the sponsor and the sponsored person is mostly like that of a father and son or a brother, and I became a lover by accident like him, which is a special case.

Is he afraid, afraid that I am an uncivilized dead brain, and will fall into a moral prison and break up with him?

I lost my smile a little, and I felt that there was an extra lingering heat flow in my chest, which made people feel warm.

In fact, after the initial shock, I felt more relieved.

"Bei...... Ryan. I reached out to stroke his smooth back and nicely smooth muscle texture, then turned my head sideways and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Yes, only he will communicate with me no matter what identity he is, no matter how he communicates with me, he will make me feel like a spring breeze, and then have a good impression of him.

His sturdy body trembled slightly, but he hugged me tighter and buried it at the side of my neck, and there was an excited, but very brief gasp.

"Kroll......" My name was called by him in a deep, deep voice, with a little tenderness.

He seemed to have supreme joy, and that happiness that was as sweet as honey seemed to burn me.

Of course, I was just as happy as he was, and I reached out and put my hand around his back.

"Tomorrow......" Ryan's muffled voice came, "I'll take you somewhere." ”

I wasn't annoyed when my thoughts were interrupted, but I saw outside the window that a faint light had begun to shine through, and I didn't know if the "tomorrow" in his mouth would be the next day or a while.

"Where are you taking me?"

"You'll find out when you go."

"Shall we get up and clean up now, or ......?"

"Although I want to take you there right away, there are many questions that I need you to answer for me...... But...... Now, let's sleep for a while......" Ryan's hand around me loosened a little, and he straightened up and squinted at me and smiled.

I smiled back at him, pulled the crumpled quilt on the side, and lay down with him hastily.

Unfortunately, I couldn't sleep, even though I was unusually sleepy. After a while, I heard Ryan's long breathing, and I turned my head to look at him, and now he slept peacefully with his eyes closed, his long, thick eyelashes casting a shallow shadow.

Even the air became quiet and peaceful, but I don't know why, my heart ...... But suddenly a lot of inexplicable and treacherous feelings were born, and when I thought about it like this, I went out of my mind.

After a groggy day, Ryan and I packed up early and went out the door the next day.

There is an improvised transport vehicle parked outside the door. This kind of transportation car can only accommodate two people, because it is expensive, so it is mostly used by nobles.

Ryan motioned for me to get in the car, and he sat in the other seat, and I turned my head sideways: "Bey...... Ryan, will you drive a car? ”

After all, most of the people who drive traffic cars are wind magicians or fighters, so can thunder and lightning also control traffic cars?

Ryan looked at me with a smile: "Still not quite used to it?" ”

“…… Slowly get used to it. I smiled a little awkwardly, indeed, although I had digested the fact that he was Ryan all day, I really couldn't change the name after calling him for so long.

"I don't drive a car." Ryan shrugged, "But, there's this. ”

After saying that, he removed a piece of the baffle in the car, revealing a huge magic crystal inside, and at the core of the magic crystal, a small whirlwind was rolling visible to the naked eye

"It's easy to do with magic crystals." I smiled, "However, such a large piece of magic crystal is really hard to find. ”

"It's something that only the mercenaries in the Northern Forest sell. You know, the Northern Forest has always been a paradise for mutant monsters, and there's always someone to catch the big guy. ”

With the wind element contained in the magic crystal, we can be regarded as driving the traffic car smoothly on the road.

The weather was not very good, and the gloom was annoying, so I simply closed my eyes and pretended to sleep, so that it was a lot easier.

When the car was parked, I opened my eyes and got out of the car with Ryan and stepped out onto a deep path. I looked around a little, and now the path stretched deep into the woods, lined with evergreen Corotor trees, but I couldn't see where it led.

As we reached a fork in the road, Ryan led me off the trail and into the woods on the left.

With the crisp birdsong in my ears, I looked at Ryan's bland side face, and my heart was full of doubts.

After walking for a while, I saw a stone tablet in the distance.

☆★☆

There are no names carved on the stele, but it is clear to me that this is supposed to be someone's grave.

One side of the stele is inlaid with fine blue gemstones, which look crystal clear and as clear blue as the sky.
