84-In the interlude Efa at Protosta Chief's official residence ④





 It's like a lie, he thought.
 Yifa thought when that man appeared on the giant dragon.
 How could there be such timing?

 But at the same time, he was sure that he would come to help.

''Well, in a nutshell I've made friends with the dragon.

 Yifa almost laughed when she heard that.
 It's reckless.
 But now that I think about it, that man was always absurd.
 He could do what he thought was impossible.
 He would break down what I thought was a wall.
 And in doing so, he reveals a whole new world to me.

Effa.

 A voice called his name.
 Yifa stepped forward to face the outstretched hand.

 She was glad that she was asking for it. I was just an insignificant, insignificant, mere slave.
 Even back then when he was sent to the academy.
 And now.

'Don't go!'

 That's when Lizze's voice rang out at his back.
 Yifa stopped in her tracks.

 There was an echo in the sound of the voice that sounded like he was worried for himself.
 It was the one who told her he was a compatriot. I'm sure he's really worried about her.

 But ...

I'm sorry... but I can't stay here.

 Yifa answers with her back turned.
 I finally know now what I should have answered to Lise and the Prince.

 What was the trigger?

 Was it the fact that she was teased by her maidservants and fellow slaves when it was decided to go to the academy with them?

 Is it the fact that she always helped me when I was being scolded in the mansion?

 Or is it the fact that no matter what is said to you, you can do everything on your own, yet sometimes you look so helpless and lonely Would it have been showing?

 It must have been ... all of them, all of them.

"I'm going with Seika-kun.

 Yifa turns around and tells Lizze.


'Because I love that man.'


 Eifa turned her back on Lizze and started to run.
 Down to Seika.
