There was a need to plan ahead just in case. Thinking ahead made his head throb in pain.
Lefille, who was beside Suimei who still breathed roughly and let out a sigh, spoke.
“Suimei. Thanks. I lived because you came.”
“It’s nothing. It’s kind of embarrassing to hear that after showing up late.”
Suimei admitted his true thought after hearing Lefille thank him. He could not deny that he was reluctant ever since he first faced against a mazoku. If he had resolved himself, he wouldn’t have been late either. And the rest was history.
“.... Are the others?”
“.... Yeah.”
Her depressed voice was the reply. It could have been easily guessed from the atrocious scenery on the way here, but to think they were all dead.
He had already given up anticipation of them being fine from the moment he grabbed her not to go and an adventurer controlled by a mazoku appeared. It was not something he should be saying but they were comrades he spent time with. Their death was regrettable.
Looking back, when he chased Lefille into the forest was the split in the road. If he was able to convince others more proficiently back then, if he could make Lefille stay, it could have ended better.
Of course, he thought everything was too late to contemplate now…..
“.....Suimei. Don’t think too much about it. It’s not something I should be saying, but it’s not your fault that they’re dead.”
“Thanks for saying that. But aren’t you thinking about it more than me, Lefille?”
“T, that’s”
She spoke as if she was caught off guard when questioned back. Soon, desolate atmosphere surrounded them. She was definitely thinking about it. There was no way she couldn’t. She couldn’t protect the ones she wanted to protect. Whether it was because she was late or whether she couldn’t save them even though she was not late, it was painful nonetheless.
And Rajas aimed precisely for that. A creature as evil as that was proficient in digging into the opponent's’ weakness as well. Almost disgustingly proficient.
That was why it hurt her even more.
“.... Lefille. Unlike me, you didn’t hesitate to jump in and save others. Don’t be so hard on yourself.”
“O, ok…..”
Her stuttering voice was heavy. Words like “you tried”, or “you did what you could” was nothing but a cheap consolation before everything that had transpired. That was why Lefille was depressed and there was nothing more he could say.
How long was she like that? Was she praying for those who passed away? Or was it the time she took to get herself back together again? Amidst deep silence, Lefille spoke out of nowhere.
“Suimei, I……”
“Hmm?”
“I, I want to thank you.”
