That's it.
She doesn't particularly blame me.
Maybe it's because she too was in Roxy's position.
That's probably not it. Outside of Milis, this world doesn't have a one-husband one-wife tradition in the first place.
Regardless, my agreement with Roxy, to gain the approval of Lilia helped take some weight off my shoulders.
Next, once I get home and report to Sylphy the journey, I need to put my head down for Roxy.
Telling Aisha and Norn about Roxy weighs heavily on me too.
But, they need to accept this too.
Will Norn will get angry and blame me?
Will Aisha start crying and blame me?
I won't run away.
I won't regret.
"... Regret?"
Just now, I feel a sudden unease.
It's about the Hitogami's prophecy.
He said I will regret.
It's the truth, Paul's dead, Zenith became an invalid, and I lost my left hand.
We lost many things.
But, right now for some reason I don't feel any regret.
Perhaps it's all thanks to Roxy, not an ounce of regret.
It's true, I once thought, perhaps if I was stronger.
If only I learned more about sword art.
If only I was strong enough to beat the hydra.
It's true I thought about that once.
But, at the same time, the feeling of [It can't be helped] rang strong and true.
In this world, I'm not fit for battle.
I don't have Fighting Spirit, nor have an idea on how to wear it.
Swordsmanship too, without Fighting Spirit, I can't get better.
Moreover the enemy was a magic immune hydra, even if I learned King-class magic, it would be pointless.
Even though, I did think there might be something else...
But, even that doesn't leave me any regrets.
Paul is dead.
But, because of his sacrifice, I could now face my past.
Even though I troubled everyone, even though everyone was concerned, but in the end, I think I still came up on top.
Because of that, I don't regret.
Only scars remain.
Right, only scars.
My trip to the Begaritto Continent left only scars.
No regrets.
In that case, regret, would it be what happens next?
Don't tell me.
Something happened to the sisters that I left behind?
No, recalling what that Hitogami said.
He mentioned something about Pursena and Rinia.
Or maybe, it's something to do with them?
Unless it's about getting their help to solve something.
Or maybe, don't tell me.
It's the pregnant Sylphy...
