Tyria looked at Elric’s expression.
It was such an incredible recommendation that I had no choice but to do it, and it lasted just one day.
It’s heartwarming to see him show today what his true feelings are.
The words spoken were like a language that only exists in dreams.
Burning flames illuminate his face.
Between the brown hair, the languid eyes reflected his own. The mouth beneath her high nose was tightly closed. The scar under her ear also flickered along with her red shadow.
As I think about each of these things, my stomach suddenly tightens and I close my lips.
I have to ask.
Why is it given so much room, is it made to expect, is it made to want to be greedy?
I am overcome with feelings similar to anger.
It was a worry that I didn’t even care about, trying to hide that feeling as much as possible and just letting it go.
“I hope it won’t be too much of a problem. I am worried that my knees may be damaged. Dancing… .”
That moment,
“It’s okay. “I can at least walk slowly to the beat of the drum.”
he laughed.
Tyria felt a lump in her throat.
A comfortable and gentle smile that I had never seen before seemed to grab my heart.
“Do you mind?”
Tyria shook her head.
I was in a hurry.
The will was so strong that it should have been hasty.
Even though it was clear that it would have a negative effect on his body, what he wanted was very clear.
“Thank goodness.”
Elric held out his hand. Tyria placed her hands on it.
The two fingers gently bent and held each other’s hands.
The warmth that was with me today penetrated into my body again.
Tyria’s head turned downward, and Elric pointed his cane.
Just-
I took a step.
Elric approached and Tyria took a step back.
Suddenly, a funny thought occurred to me: since my mind is heading in the opposite direction, my body might move this way to balance itself.
Round – round –
The sound of the drum vibrates the body.
No, is it a heartbeat?
If so, that was fortunate. This drum sound will cover up all the heart sounds.
“I’m sorry I can only take steps like this.”
I shake my head again at his words.
“It’s natural that your body comes first.”
I keep saying things that I don’t even mean to say.
It was a selfish feeling. It was clear that he wanted this moment of walking together while holding her hand to last forever.
Still, I can’t stop.
I had to try hard to suppress the smile that was trying to come to my mind.
My eyebrows narrowed, and I tilted my head further down to see if this could be seen as a frown.
As the walk, which cannot even be called a dance, continues, everything in the world becomes farther away.
The sound of drums, people laughing, the sound of burning firewood and even the sound of wind coming from somewhere.
The sound of the cane becomes louder, as if to fill the empty space.
His breathing becomes clearer. The rough feeling of our joined hands hangs over my fingertips.
His voice pierces my ears.

“I’m sorry.”
“… “What do you mean?”
“The thing about leaving.”
“You apologized for that.”
“Still, I feel like I have to do it again.”
I didn’t expect that kind of apology.
That wasn’t what Tyria wanted.
“It’s really okay.”
It didn’t matter that I had been away for 10 years.
I was just so grateful that they came back and shared this moment with us.
I was grateful for the smile you showed me, I was grateful for the steps we walked together, and that made me suffocate.
This moment felt like a mirage and I suddenly felt scared.
That was why I added strength to my hands.
Tyria’s fingers were caught between Elric’s fingers.
The binding force has become stronger, but it falls easily if he shakes it off.
However, if he doesn’t brush it off, it could go on forever.
And Elric did not shake off his hand.
As I calm down little by little, I take a long breath.
Only then was Tyria able to raise her head.
He was looking at his feet.
It was a moment when I was about to say something because I was strangely concerned about his gaze.
“Kiss me!!!”
Startle-
Their bodies trembled at the same time.
At the same time, the gaze turned towards the direction from which the sound was heard.
“I mean kiss you!”
“… “Baht sucks.”
The owner of the restaurant, and Elric’s old friend, was staggering around drunk and pointing in the direction of the two.
The smiling face looked happier than anyone else in the world.
Tyria looked at Elric.
The troubled look on his face made me feel uncomfortable for some reason.
“You seem to have a bad drinking habit. “That friend.”
I couldn’t help but suddenly hate Bart.
What seemed like a dream was suddenly dragged into reality.
People’s attention begins to focus.
They smile as if they found a fun toy.
“Wow!”
They cheer as if inciting them.
Bart’s drunkenness becomes an irreversible trend.
Acceptance is a funny word.
A nobleman has the dignity of a nobleman, so he must not show his vain appearance in front of the people of his territory.
It was a shame that could not even be compared to dancing.
They shouldn’t have done that in the first place, but it must have been the excited atmosphere of the festival that made things happen like this.
All of this is just an accident, so we can just ignore it and go back.
Even though that is right,
“… .”
The moment you try to post a rejection, you hesitate.
No, I’m scared that people will tell me to ignore it.
Even though I know it wasn’t his intention, I’m scared of his rejection.
“I am… .”
It was the moment I was about to say something.
“Excuse me?”
Something unbelievable happened.
Woe!
Elric pulled Tyria.
He lowered his head and put his head up until the tips of his noses touched.
And stop.
In fact, there was a gap between the two people that seemed as if their lips would touch if they stepped forward just a little further.
Tyria’s eyes widened as if they were about to tear.
“Waaaaaa!!!”
“Elric! “You really do it!!!”
“The troublemaker Elric has become a man!!!”
Unable to understand what had happened, his thoughts froze and he lost function.
Tyria looked at Elric’s face that filled her entire field of vision.
His face was red.
Is it because of the fire, or is it because of something else?
“I did it because I didn’t think I would stop until I did something. “Aren’t you all drunk?”
Tyria felt a tingling sensation as his breath touched her face.
Oh, you’re pretending to kiss.
At this angle, they definitely won’t be able to see it.
I know that, and even though I understand what he is saying, my body hardly listens.
My hair was about to turn white again.
“Please understand.”
However, his breath and smile were engraved on my five senses.
“… “Today is a festival.”
With an appropriate excuse, Tyria began to erase the questions one by one.
First, the dignity that should be shown as a noble is erased.
Secondly, their disloyal actions are erased.
Thirdly, the fact that this is all an act is erased.
Only one remains.
Just the fact that his breath is coming within reach of the tip of my nose.
“… yes.”
That would have been enough.
Because today is a festival.
*
It was the next morning.
“You crazy guy.”
Elric lay down on the bed and covered his face.
His exposed earlobes were red.
When I woke up, I finally came to my senses.
What kind of crazy thing did I do?
It felt like I was possessed by something.
All day long, I was focused on Tyria and couldn’t think rationally.
If I had to make an excuse, I would, but… It was obvious that it was a rude act.
Wasn’t she born a noblewoman to begin with?
Going around the festival must have been repulsive.
Holding hands is… Yes, even so, asking for a dance was really crossing a line.
To put it a little further, it is harassment of a young woman.
That’s a serious thing too! I should have stopped there!
-Because today is a festival.
I ended up having an accident.
He almost pulled her in and kissed her.
Would she know that even acting was a hasty excuse?
I was tempted by the atmosphere and tried to kiss our lips, but at that moment my head got cold and I stopped right before.
If it had been just a little bit later, I would have been unable to see his face for the rest of my life.
‘Bart… !’
It was all because of him.
If that guy hadn’t been so drunk, this wouldn’t have happened!
I tremble and regret what happened in the past, but it is already too late.
The festival where I felt like I was in a daze had passed, and now what was revealed was reality.
“Master, were you coughing?”
When Rdio’s voice was heard, Elric responded.
“… “Can I lie down a little longer?”
I didn’t have the confidence to see Tyria.
I really wanted to have a separate breakfast today.
“You must not delay. “Because you are an adult now.”
However, the obnoxious butler opened the door, saying firmly that he had no intention of looking at it.
For Elric, it was a moment when he could deeply empathize with the feelings of the pig being dragged to the slaughterhouse.
After washing my face and changing clothes, the walk down to the restaurant felt so long.
Squeak!
The moment the restaurant door opened, Elric had to hold his breath for a brief moment.
“… “Did you cough?”
Tyria bowed her head briefly.
It looked the same as usual. She certainly did on the outside.
That further aggravated the shame.
I felt like the events of the previous day became clearer.
Not only the incident, but also her facial features, touch, body scent, and breathing sound that are seen up close all cover her body.
“Uh… .”
Elric’s eyes turned out the window for no reason.
His voice trembled a little.
“… “Good morning.”
Winter had come now, but my body was complaining of the heat, standing alone in the middle of summer.
