Yeah, umm, I wonder where I should start talking from..."
Sylphy started to tell me about it bit by bit.
Starting from the training she did in Buina village.
How she tried to learn my location from Zenith and Lilia and in reverse ended up being taught in healing magic and etiquette.
How she made a pendant for my sake.
"That means, this pendant was something handmade by Sylphy?"
"That pendant, how do you have it?"
The pendant was hidden within my clothes.
I didn't like how Elinalise teased me that we matched after all.
Though since we took off our clothes it's been exposed now.
"Lilia was holding onto it. But, she never said anything about Sylphy."
"I'm sure she thought I might be dead, so she kept quiet."
"I see now."
That is like how Lilia might try to be careful.
After hearing it's an article of the deceased, whether it's good or bad, you can understand the decision.
"Umm, is it fine for me to continue the story?"
"Sorry-sorry, please do."
Things that happened after the teleport, there's truly no way to call it other than full of ups and downs.
Thrown into the sky, falling, and then a monster was there.
Coincidentally saving the Ojou-sama, then becoming a guard.
Before she realized it her hair had become pure white.
Starting a painful life in a place where the sense of values were completely different.
Being targeted by assassins in a political dispute, being pursued by the king. [7]
Going on a journey with only those who weren't used to travel, occasionally being deceived, falling into a predicament.
And then, while in the middle of a comeback attempt at Magic University.
I appeared.
"Even though we can say it can't be helped since I was in disguise [It's nice to meet you.] being told that was a shock you know."
"Sorry. But, even Sylphy, if you had told me sooner, even I would have realized it."
"Ah..Th..that's right isn't it.. So..sorry, that I didn't say it.. I'm sorry about that.. I'm very sorry.."
Sylphy continued to spill large drops of tears.
In regards to this matter, I'm sure she worried about a variety of things as well.
I understood from the talk just now that it was absolutely not that she didn't say it because she had some kind of evil intent.
I have no intention to blame her.
"From my side as well, that I didn't come around even after a year, I'm very sorry."
Well, according to the story, it seems like she was trying to hide her identity as well and it seems Sylphy thought I completely forgot about her.
If the case were to have been where I had forgotten about her, it would have simply resulted in her spreading her identity around.
I was originally a person from the Boreas after all, there was the possibility that I was an enemy.
I'm sure not saying it was the correct answer.
And then, I think that during this past year I haven't shown a behavior of searching for Sylphy.
If she didn't think that I was worried about her then it can't be helped if she couldn't break the ice.
That's right, it couldn't be helped.
A variety of circumstances were being a hindrance.
In the end just like this, she revealed her identity after all, so I think that's fine.
I embraced her shoulder.
Sylphy leaned her head on my shoulder.
Her shoulders are cold, if I don't get closer to them and warm them up.
"And then, I wasn't able to gather my courage, but, somewhere in my heart I thought that keeping our current relationship would be fine to hope for."
"Well, it wasn't a bad relationship after all."
Recently it seems her impatience had come out.
There's a gathering of bishojo in my surroundings.
It seems that she thought if she doesn't do anything I might get taken away.
Since I'm in the ED state, there was no need for that worry.
No, for example if Nanahoshi had found me a medical treatment drug or something, I would have been grateful towards her, and finally might have been swayed towards her.
And then, Sylphy carried out a variety of strategies.
It seems that when she stayed over for the night the other day as well was one of those.
Though it seems it ended in failure because I was too dense.
"Rudi is really dense you know."
"I have absolutely no words to retort that with."
In the past I did swear in my heart to become the dense type though.
I can't laugh if I'm already a dense type protagonist.
Unexpectedly, if it gets mixed up with a variety of other circumstances, being faced with love, it's hard to realize.
If I had been a bit more connected with my sexual desire, I might have realized it though...
Unexpectedly, all of the dense type protagonists out there might have ED as well.
"Then, this time I beautifully got caught in that plan is what you're saying."
"So, sorry, it ended up in a shape kind of like I was deceiving you."
"No, I'm sure it wouldn't have been any good if you hadn't gone this far in my case."
If it had continued like that I'm sure I would have continued to tell myself that Fitts-senpai is a man forever.
In the first place, it's suspicious whether I even remembered things about Sylphy.
"Come to think of it, does princess Ariel know about this matter?"
"She knows. Rather, Ariel-sama was the one thinking up the strategies."
"I see."
So my worries were unnecessary as well huh.
If it was Sylphy acting on her own judgement, then after all I think it would have been better if she didn't know about it.
Even though I say that, after all I guess it would be better for the existence known as [Fitts] to remain as [Fitts].
"But, Ariel-sama worried over it considerably. [I can't understand Rudeus Greyrat's objective. I wonder what that guy is thinking.] like that. By no means, that, it seems that she couldn't have imagined that you came here for the sake of curing that."
There was those sorts of rumors, but it seems that she didn't believe them.
Reality is stranger than fiction.
"However, since it's come down to it, would it be better for me to enter as one affiliated with princess Ariel I wonder?"
I don't want to get involved with political disputes to the best of my ability though.
However, if I were to be asked to lend my power to Sylphy, no matter how poor of an ability it would be I would lend my power.
"When it comes to me, I'd like for you to lend us your power, but, Rudi, you don't want to get involved with Asura Kingdom right? In that case, it's fine for you not to overdo it."
Sylphy said that and bashfully smiled.
When she doesn't have the sunglasses on, her adorableness increases 100 times over.
Since that's the case, it's hitting up my nether regions.
Since I couldn't resist it, I licked her ear.
"Hi...ah!?
"Ah, excuse me."
She raised her voice in surprise and my nether regions quickly cooled down.
Somehow, I can't seem to control it.
However, after all I'm relieved that there was a reaction.
I can say that it's proceeding favorably towards recovery.
It's thanks to Sylphy.
"Thank you, Sylphy."
"Eh? for what..?"
Sylphy leaned her head.
We couldn't do it until the end, but this is fine for now.
I felt that way.
