Although he could vaguely guess that things would turn out this way, Lemuel was still caught off guard when this scene actually happened.

At the same time, I also realized the fact that this guy had been holding on all the way-

"Why are you doing that?"

He didn't understand the need to do it for himself......

No, in fact Lemuel knew, he understood better than anyone why Leela had to hold on to such a point for herself—

But even so......

"You shouldn't be hiding it from me, ......?"

Now you only have to look at her dead face to know what is going on.

So.......

He could only get off the train halfway, but there was nothing but the slightly dilapidated station.

Not to mention a place to stay.

And even if you want to call for help, the mobile phone shows no signal or is not in the service area.

And in this situation where people have to sigh, even the weather doesn't give a good face-

It actually drizzled again at such a time?

"Is there a mistake? Why is it ...... at this time?"

"Don't worry? This rain will always ...... Stopped. ”

"Lela?"

"Hmm. I'm sorry...... A rare date was messed up by me again......"

"That's okay now!"

At this time, Lila, who was lying on his back, slowly comforted him in a voice that was already too dumb to be worse.

"How does your body feel?"

"Honestly, it sucks."

She didn't plan to hide it, and after all, she couldn't hide it at this time, right? In that case, it is better to tell him honestly.

Lest this guy worry. ——

"Your body is so hot...... Could it be that he was already in a state of high fever before this? ”

"Well, that's it. I'm sorry ......."

"I'm sorry...... It was my fault that I didn't find out in time——! ”

Lemuel was silent.

If you have to say it...... The reason why it has developed into the situation at this moment is because I am not careful enough!

He was fully aware of this.

"If I had noticed it earlier, I might have avoided the current situation......

"What are you talking about! Really, what needs to happen happens anyway. ”

Suddenly, Lila laughed and scolded in a voice that was too weak to be true.

"I'm fine, don't worry......"

However, at this moment, there is something more important than your own physical condition......

"Well, I understand."

"In that case, wouldn't it be better if you could tell me and continue to rest at home?"

“......”

But things like—

"I'm sorry, but I was actually in the hospital before I came here."

There's no way she'd be able to say something like that.

Because, this guy in front of him hates hiding from each other the most......

Especially, when the object is himself, he will undoubtedly mind more.

So, I can't say it anyway.

"Because, it's already agreed in advance, isn't it?"

"You......"

After hearing her words, the anger in Lemuel's stomach disappeared in an instant.

Even if I wanted to reproach her, I didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Speaking of which...... Where are we now? ”

Leela gasped; While asking.

And try not to look very sluggish...... This has to admire her stubbornness.

"I don't know."

As he spoke, Lemuel spread out the map.

"You actually have it with you? Great...... huh? ”

Leela boasted; While slowly stroking his head.

"Stop making trouble!"

"Hey, hey, hey...... Shy? ”

Despite that, she didn't mean to stop.

But now it looks like it's good to be prepared for both!

But after reading the map, Lemuel's already depressed face actually became even more ugly-

Even if you want to find your way with the help of a map, it's now completely wet with the rain that is rubbing your shoulders......

Completely unusable!

"Why is this happening!?"

"Okay, okay, don't have a bitter gourd face, it's just bad luck, isn't it?"

"Why are you still comforting me now? Aren't you worried about your physical condition? ”

"If we delay any longer, it will ......"

This blurted out without thinking, and it seemed that he was in a really bad mood.

But no matter how depressed you are, it won't help, right?

"Are you worried about me?"

Lila asked coldly and pinched his face.

"Of course...... Of course! If you've always been in this state, I can't rest assured. ”

"Oh, thank you—why don't you try to walk up the hill in the distance?"

"Look, it's getting a little lighter, isn't it?"

"Why?"

He didn't understand why Leela would make such a suggestion.

"Don't you want to stay here forever?"

"Don't, it hurts my stomach when I think about it......"

She laughed wickedly as she spoke. The smile made Lemuel mutter......

"In that case, let's do as I say......"

"Is there anything there?"

"Anyway, you just do what I say first, let's go!"

As a result, under the constant urging of Lila's perseverance, he could only admit it and do it honestly......

Unexpectedly, after arriving at the destination she specified, there was an empty house there!

“！”

And apart from a little dilapidated, there are all other facilities.

The question is, who built it?

But even if Lemuel looked left and right for a long time, he could not find the owner of the house.

"I can't help it—"

However, for the sake of this guy, who felt weaker and weaker on his back, he had to borrow the house to rest for a while.

Because, her body is really not optimistic.

“......”

But what I didn't expect was that not long after I carried her to bed, Lila fell asleep with an unsuspecting expression.

"Really...... It's okay to take you. ”

However, that doesn't mean you can rest too......

Because you also have to prepare food and cold compresses.

Thankfully, there are enough ingredients to cook the porridge.

In addition, there are towels for cold compresses.

This immediately relieved Lemuel, who was busy and sweating profusely.

"Great!"

Now that he finally let go of the big stone in his heart, he immediately began to boil porridge......

During this period, I didn't forget to change the towel and cold compress water for her who never woke up every fifteen minutes.

Unconsciously, I don't care about such trivial things as "how much time has passed at this moment".

Of course, it's not that I don't want to know, but I really don't have time to take care of it-

"If you can, it's best to be prepared with antipyretics......"

Unfortunately, however, this somewhat ambitious wish has not been fulfilled.

At the same time, I had to realize that I was a little too greedy.

“......”

In this way, in a trance, it was already dusk. Leela also happened to wake up at this time-

"Oh, are you finally awake? How does your body feel? Is it better? ”

"A little better, huh? Sorry for the trouble. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lemuel couldn't help laughing-

"You used to do most of this kind of thing, so honestly I'm glad to have this opportunity."

As he spoke, he turned around and threw her the best, but seemingly ill-intentioned smile.

"Why are you laughing so disgustingly...... I always think, it's a little scary, huh? ”

"It's nothing, I'll go and bring the porridge, wait a minute?"

"Hmm."

Immediately after, he really brought the porridge as fast as he could-

However, at this time, Leela suddenly made an unexpected request......

"Feed me."

"Why?!"

"Even if you want to play Feeding Play, see the timing......"

But at his surprise and stunnedness, Leela ignored it and opened her mouth to herself......

This attitude is simply obvious.

She could understand what she meant even if she didn't have to ask—

"I see."

Now, is there a second choice for me but to do it obediently?

What's more, he also likes this feeling of being relied on very much-

"Hurry up, hurry up! Ahh

Because, in the past, Lila always rarely showed weakness and coquettishness in front of herself.

And now she just wanted to take this opportunity to try something she had never done before.

Indeed, it feels quite fresh. - Oops, I always feel addicted......

"Thank you!"

Besides, at this moment, it was as if Leela had changed into a different person...... Extraordinarily clingy.

Or is this what she is?

"Let's sleep together later?"

"You, you...... What did you just say? ”

In fact, Lemuel could hear it clearly.

At the end of the day, he just didn't understand why it was necessary.

"Hmph, I heard you...... You heard me! ”

- Yes, yes, but why? He didn't understand.

"No, no, no, I'll just sleep on the floor!"

Even if you really want to try it, you have to be patient now - because this guy is still a patient!

"Do you hate sleeping with me?"

"Never like that!"

For a moment, he denied it without even thinking about it......

"Why, then? Is it because I don't have the charm? ”

"How is that possible......"

"Humph......!"

"If you say that normally, I don't think I would have hesitated for even a second......"

"But isn't this a special time?"

However, looking at the expression that seemed to be about to cry, as if he wanted to cry, Lemuel really couldn't refuse it so neatly.

Because, if you look at that kind of expression, what you could have refused will become unrefusable......

"Okay, okay, I see—"

Immediately afterwards, when the two of them got into the bed together...... The atmosphere began to take a strange turn.

The faint aroma emanating from Lela's body has been irritating Lemuel's nasal passages from the very beginning......

Not to mention that she also took the initiative to stick her body up-

It's just that they are so faintly attached to each other...... No way?!

However, it is a pity that if this continues, the imaginary development may really become a reality!

"What are you thinking? I'm a patient now, right? ”

This is indeed an indisputable fact, but this guy's charming and slightly lustful tone is enough to tell the story!

Oops! It's terrible in every sense of the word!?

"But you don't sound like a patient at all!"

Evil thoughts are gone! Hold on, I'm ......!

"Alright, alright. I won't tease you! ”

"Lest someone really get a beast and can't stop. Hey, hey, hey—"

Unconsciously, both of them have become staring at each other......

"By the way, don't you have anything to ask?"

At this moment, Lemuel breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been saved......

“？”

"And deadlift me said it was a trip. As a result, what happened to what it is now? ”

"Why do you ask?"

Because it's not like what you would say......

In fact, the real reason has always been very concerned about Lemuel, but he has never had the opportunity to ask clearly.

"Because it's not like you at all, normally you would never show weakness in front of me, but your words on the train at that time ......"

"Isn't that the equivalent of telling me that you don't want to go back if you can?"

Then Rila sighed.

And in fact, she also knew that such "escapism" words should not be said at that time-

At least, it wasn't a good time.

However, even so, she was not lying, for she knew better than anyone else—

If he really said that he "never wants to go back", he would not object. That's why I say that......

However, even if he used it in a tactful way, he still noticed it in an instant.

"I'm not lying, am I? Today...... No, that's just yesterday, right? ”

Leela reverted as if to understate.

"Anyway, the moment I saw you yesterday, I really had the idea that I never wanted to go back to that place again-"

“......”

As she spoke, Lila suddenly buried her face in a moment that she had not fully understood what she had just said, so she was a little stunned...... Lemuel's chest.

"Wouldn't it be nice for the two of them to run away together?"

“！”

And it's precisely because I happen to think so at this moment, so-

This makes it impossible for him to make even the slightest accusation.

Even if it is understood that this guy is just using the simplest and, at the same time, the most despicable way to escape from reality.

"I don't want to let my hands get blood anymore, and I don't want to play the 'righteous partner' in the eyes of others anymore!"

In an instant she said so. However, Lemuel couldn't empathize with him-

That is...... Tired? ”

"Hmm."

Isn't that obvious?

However, even better than anyone else understands this......

But at this moment, I can't help her share the burden......

In an instant, this deep sense of powerlessness gradually swelled and spread between the two......

It gradually became visible to the naked eye.

- He didn't know how to comfort Lela and get her back on her feet......

However, Leela made it clear that as long as the status quo was maintained, it would be fine.

Of course, maybe that's limited to tonight, right?

But if that's the case, why is this guy crying?

I'm afraid that this is only a "show of weakness" is no longer convincing, right?

"Lela, you're ......"

"If the battle is making you so hard, then don't go on, right?"

"No one will blame you for that."

If something like this happens, Lemuel couldn't open his mouth anyway.

So at this moment he chose to remain silent......

Because he knows better than anyone else that what Leela wants now is not perfunctory comfort......

The next day, however, she really pulled herself together as if she had taken it for granted......

It's as if nothing happened last night.

I have to say that this is really a strength that I can't learn no matter how much I envy it.

To be honest, if she really seriously discussed the topic of "wanting to change jobs" with herself......

If that's the case......

Maybe I wouldn't object to it, would I?

Because then not only do you not have to be scared every day, but you don't have to worry about it every day—

I'm always afraid that one day the thing I least want to see will happen as a matter of course......

In this respect, it is undesirable. And......

I can also have more time to be with her as a matter of course.

Isn't that bad?

Of course, I don't even need to say it......

But that guy had already made it his duty to repel the "beast".

So, such a life, at least for the current Lela, she can't imagine it yet......

Therefore, no matter how many injuries he suffered and how much he was wronged, he never flinched.

That's the kind of character she is. Even if it's ...... Now, such an embarrassed world doesn't care about her existence at all.

However, Leela Letilia did exist!

It was once here!?

Why does it seem as if it "never existed"?

That's too much, isn't it?

"Why is this happening?"

No one seemed to remember her; No one wants to ask for the "why".

Most people now only remember that she was killed by a timid man -

That's just the "truth".

And it is because of such rumors...... Or rather, the rumors spread more and more, which eventually led to Lemuel's dismissal from the military council

- Just two years ago, he was placed under house arrest as a key suspect!

There are very few people you can see every day......

The reason is simply that he did not hesitate to admit that the rumor was true-

"Brother, why? Why do you want to admit ......? ”

"I don't understand!?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to hide it anymore."

What's more, people have the right to know the facts.

"Are you stupid? Why admit it? Are you happy with the result now?! ”

Riveria, who heard about this, took great pains and finally met him, and slapped him in the face without saying a word!

It was also the first time Lemuel had seen her so angry that she couldn't even forgive herself.

"I'm sorry."

"Since you've been hiding it for so long, why don't you just keep it hidden? Why do you want to say it? ”

"Sorry......"

At this moment, he couldn't think of anything else to say except keep apologizing.

"No one can prove your innocence now...... Do you understand? ”

Obviously, this is what Riveria cares about the most-

"She's dead! This means that as long as you don't admit it, the military council can't convict you at all! ”

"But why are you ......?"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she even felt a little incoherent.

However, Lemuel's reason was so simple that she couldn't believe it -

"I'm sorry, but if I don't say it...... I'll be haunted by guilt forever....."

There is no doubt that this is true, so even if there is a good reason, Riveria can't refute it now......

"Even so, do you know what kind of punishment you're going to face next?"

"Know—"

Murder pays for life...... Big deal, right?

"You! Even if you want to get rid of the guilt by this rotten method, you can think about it for Vane......"

"You know what? That guy was crying all night because he was worried about you! ”

“...... I'm sorry. ”

"Shhhh Anyway, I've found the culprit who spread the rumors, and I'll find a way. You endure for a few days before that! ”

The meaning of her words could not be clearer. But this had to cause Lemuel to worry -

"Don't come nonsense......"

But even if she said so, she wouldn't listen to it at this moment, right?

"Don't worry, I will let that guy know what it will be like to wronged others indiscriminately within the scope of my ability!"

However, whether it is Riveria or herself...... knows that the incident cannot be considered "wronged".

But even so, the spread of such rumors should be punished as a matter of course.

"Thank you."

"Do we still need this between the two of us?"

Before leaving, Riveria turned back again and added a seemingly "unnecessary word". Is that reluctance? Probably not, right?
