I'm sorry.

　The garden of the Sheikh's official residence.
　A short distance away from the guards, Lise said to Yifa.

''Apparently, I was wrong about you.
Is it a misunderstanding...?
'As that slave-trader said I thought your feelings for your master were unavoidable. People are not a little afraid of new situations. They try to convince themselves that now is the best time. But ... your heart seems to be different from that.

　Lise says, amended.

'You love that boy, don't you?
What the hell?
Then I have nothing more to say... Try your hand.

　Yifa, whose face turned red, held out her right hand as she was told.
　Lizze takes it and before she knows it, she draws a pattern resembling a magic circle on the back of her hand with her index finger, which was soaked in blood.

　Some small spell is chanted.
　Then the magic circle of blood quickly disappeared as if it was sucked into his hand.

'I'll give you a few of my spirits.

　Yifa noticed that some of the vast amount of spirits that Lise was wearing had been transferred to her side.
　They didn't seem to be gathered in magic stones or rings, but in the magic circle of a vanished hand.

''Especially the children of light the spirits of light are rare. They can do such things once you get used to handling them.

　Yifa followed Lise's gaze and looked at her own left hand.
　The cut on her thumb that was made by the wind blade had healed without a trace.

　Lizze says abruptly.

''You remind me of a princess in a fairy tale for some reason.
What...?
'A princess of the exile who uses elven magic. A daughter of compassion who was a companion of the brave, but took pity on even the demon king....... You will be fine. I'm sure your thoughts will be heard.
Is that so...?
'I have no doubt even now that the boy is different. But that boy himself told me that the other boy himself said that we can be a family even if we are different. Even if different beings are different from each other, they can become a family. Dragons and people have lived together, it's much easier than that.

　Lise said at last.

'Blessed are you. Brethren.
