His beloved woman was asking him to embrace another woman. Seriously, Hajime who didn't know what this situation meant could only hold his head with both hands. However, Hajime also had something he wanted to say.
"... I, what my heart wants is Yue, only you. I don't hate Shia, I think of her as an important companion, but... I can't treat her the same as Yue. You know, I carry the desire to monopolize Yue. No matter what reason it is, I won't allow her to be beside another man. You can think of it as being a narrow-minded or selfish, but... I want Yue to think the same as me, it's something I desire. That's why, even if it was Shia, could you pardon me from starting a relation with another woman?"
"... Hajime."
With Shia clinging to her arm, Yue's cheeks blushed and she looked straight at Hajime with moistened eyes. Hajime once again gently stroke Yue's cheek with his hand as he returned her gaze, and the two formed a sweet atmosphere anew. Even the air's color seemed to have turned pink.
The two watched each other faces as they gradually drew closer, then...
"... It seems I... have been completely forgotten... even though it was the talk about my reward..."
Shia was scowling with a dangerous tone as she stared at Hajime and Yue who almost reached the climax. Then the two finally noticed their surroundings and hurriedly distanced themselves. Yue, who still felt embarrassed, was timidly twirling her beautiful hair to calm down.
Hajime, who confessed his feelings, had his heart thrown out of order because of the surprise attack. His expressionlessness crumbled, and his mouth naturally stammered for an excuse. The words of him wanting to monopolize her and to be monopolized, were heavy responsibility for a person, but Yue was extremely happy. Her heart shivered and she inadvertently forgot about everything except Hajime.
"... I see, I somehow understand the relationship between the three of you... Shia-dono has it hard."
"*Annoyed*... The bond with Yue is deep... though that'll be a hindrance to this one... Well, as long as this one will be abused, then it's..."
Will's expression looked as if he would vomit sugars as he tried to guess the relationship between the three. They didn't want to know of the existence of the pervert who started panting as she imagined something.
"... Hajime, I am sorry. But, Shia is also important... I want to repay her. So, please go out with her for a day inside the town... Can you?"
"Yue-saa~n."
Now, Yue was asking Hajime for Shia's sake. Shia, whose heart was broken had her head patted, and was now spoiledly pressing and rubbing her face against Yue. Hajime who saw their appearance answered with a wry smile.
"That's okay, I don't mind if it's just that much. It's not because Yue asked for Shia, okay? Even if Shia was the one who asked for it, I'll at least go out with her."
"Hajime-san... no, there's no need to be concerned about it, it's okay as long as it can become an established fact!"
"... Seriously, you are..."
"Well, because that's still impossible, I'll endure it for now by increasing the favorability through the date. Once we arrive at Fhuren, please take me to the Sightseeing Ward, okay?"
"Ah, ah, okay."
Because of that idea, Hajime thought to once again remind her that Yue was the only special one for him. However, Shia probably already knew, but she didn't get discouraged. With a complex expression, Hajime thought, Well, it's okay to let Shia do what she wants, as he acknowledged their date. There was no change to the fact that Shia was already an important existence for Hajime, and he could not be reluctant about it because it was something Yue asked of him. Thus, he confirmed he wanted to reward her for her hard work.
"What's with this feeling of being an outsider. It's the same feeling of slipping into another family's get-together."
"Hmm. This kind of 'Ignoring play' doesn't make this one feel happy at all... Only lonely... Rather, isn't it about the time someone responds to this one? Is it really okay for this one to be here?"
