I didn't want to take it seriously, but Elfin didn't look like he was teasing herself.

Heliga wasn't a lover, he didn't hook up with the woman next to him with the idea of messing with flowers and grass - but he wasn't an idiot either, and after a word or two from Elphin, he could still understand the strange affection between himself and Laura.

There's no doubt that the two had childhood sweethearts – the good times they had during those months at the Yarsside Dojo weren't fake. Moreover, at that time, Heliga was still a childish child, completely different from this powerful being who was slowly grasping new powers—and because of this, that affection was even more precious. Heiliga never thought about what the affection between himself and Laura would be, in his opinion, the two were just friends who learned from each other in martial arts and promoted each other's growth - even if the world is unpredictable now, although Laura is still firmly on her own path, but Hailiga is no longer destined to be an ordinary martial artist, but the feelings preserved in his heart have not changed - now in retrospect, the original ambiguity was indeed too much.

In any case, Laura is a girl too - and the more he realizes it now, the more he feels a headache for no apparent reason.

Laura doesn't lie to herself. She may not realize it yet, but even many of the others, including Elfin, seem to be able to see the clues. When she finally realizes what the definition of that emotion is, she will be brave enough to say it, because this is her character, the personality written in the depths of her soul.

So, when the time comes, how should you choose?

Phenanthrene...... Originally a member of the dark world. In the time with Fei, there is not only unreserved trust, but also the peace of mind brought by the understanding of the roots. He didn't have to hide anything, no matter whether the plan was cruel or not; But Laura is different - the country is about to face a huge storm, and at that point, he will probably do whatever it takes to fight for enough power. Laura, who has always been very upright, can really accept herself like that?

Men of the nobility of the empire were legally allowed to have multiple female spouses, but that was one of the sources of the attack on the aristocracy - as a participant in Olivebat's political ideals, he could not have welcomed Laura and Faye into the house at the same time. Besides, Laura is carrying the inheritance of the Yarsidryu on her shoulders, can she still take care of the family's mission when she is with her? And most importantly, Feye - what did she think?

Once, the two had no reservations, and they could easily trust each other and entrust everything to themselves. But if Laura joins in – will it all be different together? Even if Ephie's personality and her relationship with Laura allow her and Laura to get along well, then there are many problems that come with it.

Although this scenario also looks good...... However, there are always so many complicated things that lie between the connections of this thread of feelings, which makes people feel confused and painful.

"What should I do at this time?" After saying goodbye to the two members of the royal family, and exchanging blessings and greetings, Helriga wandered aimlessly out into the square.

The sun is still shining.

But...... Feelings are really an indescribable and inexplicable thing.

"Drink!" With a capable roar, Laura, who was slowly adjusting her breath, slowly put the greatsword into her sheath—the open space beside her was already covered with scorched scorching marks. Even on a cold winter day, Laura's close-fitting shirt was still soaked with sweat, which showed how much effort she had just put into it.

Lowering her weapon, Laura looked around, looking for the figure that had been sitting quietly and watching, but could not find it. Until he found that there was a clean handkerchief, which had been lovingly handed to Fei without saying a word.

"It's exciting." Fei said calmly, with sincere joy in her eyes for her best friend's progress, "It must have gone through a lot of hard work." ”

"yes...... Father's special training was very painful indeed. Laura nodded, took the handkerchief, and wiped it on her forehead, "But thanks to this, my father said that I will be able to receive the practice of Upanishads from next year...... Thank you for the handkerchief, Fi. ”

"No thanks. It's just ......" Faye didn't take this little thing to heart, "why don't you show this trick to Heliga?" If he says, he will definitely praise your ......."

“…… I don't think I was prepared. Laura smiled helplessly, "I don't know why, this incident you mentioned always makes me feel subtle. ”

"Feelings?"

"yes...... The person I once knew, he was my best friend and partner in my cultivation and growth...... It was a very happy time. Laura's eyes seemed to be immersed in some kind of memory, "At that time, we didn't have any scruples about each other, so for him, in the martial arts, we were unreservedly competing with each other...... Maybe it's because I'm older, maybe it's because I've been exercising with my father for longer, and he never beat me at that time...... But his talent was seen by everyone, including my father, who also told me that he would definitely catch up with me one day, and after that, he would make progress with me, and you would catch up with me - such a scene, I was looking forward to it...... Even if you know what secret existence is in him, it's the same. But now, it's just a pipe dream. ”

"Hehe......" For some reason, looking at Laura's serious sigh, Fei couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's wrong?" Laura frowned in confusion, "What's so funny?" ”

"No, nothing. It's just that...... Laura, you seem to have misunderstood something...... That's not right. ”

Looking at Fiye's smiling expression, Laura was silent - she understood that this best friend, whom she hadn't seen much, seemed to have something to say.

"Unlike Laura, he doesn't see you as a competitor...... And my companion, he cherishes the time with you, and even during his journey to Liber, he mentioned it to me a few times—so that even though he is now so powerful because of his inexplicable power, that still hasn't changed. Because to him, you're a unique being, a unique friend – so he'd be happy to know you've made such great strides – and it's not about competitors or anything, I assure you. ”

“…… Is it? Laura said softly, Fei's words, she really didn't think about it.

"And...... It seems that there is some misunderstanding of your own feelings. Fei showed a rare evil smile, "You ...... him Is it really just a so-called "competitive" relationship? ”
