Why the way she returned it look disappointed? The robe was full with dust and it was dirty.
Reus was held on my chest and I carried Emilia on my back supported with [String] and we began to walk. I chose different way by returning to the passage where I came in order to avoid from meeting the garrisons who were coming here.
“Sirius-san, how about those two nobles?” (Reese)
“You can be relieved because the garrisons are coming soon. We should escape before being discovered.” (Sirius)
“We were protected too by someone and that person ran away.” (Sirius)
“Its slight explanation how they were beat, isn’t it? We met these terrible killers and we ran while we had become worn out. And then, the terrible killer was attacked by someone…it will be fine, with that kind of story.” (Sirius)
It is certain to become troublesome if the thing about terrible killers were defeated spread out. If we remain silent, there will be no evidence and the case will close naturally and be left in the dark.
Oh, but there was a man who had bound. It should be alright to leave Goraon but that fellow may confess something unnecessary.
But…oh well. It is unbelievable for a child to win against four adult opponents and I think that guy won’t say that he got defeated by child opponent because his pride will stop him. Nevertheless, it’s alright if I just feign ignorance.
We continued walking silently for a while. Reese walks slowly for certain, and since Emilia at the back occasionally rubs her cheek against the back of my head, so it tickles.
And then, when we returned to the fifth floor, Reese seemed sorry and began to talk.
“Well…isn’t it heavy? I can lend my shoulder to Emilia because I have rested a little too.” (Reese)
“Well, it is surely heavy. But, this is the proof of life. I want to feel it properly since it is the proof that these two being alive.” (Sirius)
Today, it’s been a while for me to snap after a long time.
When I snapped out, the opponent’s live has been taken away and even though I’m already used to it, I don’t feel good. During that time, I calmed down when I came into contact with the disciples. I could feel relieved after I felt their pulse from their hands and back of body.
And Emilia, I’m not sure whether you were deeply moved but stop biting my shoulder. While I’m troubled with such behavior, Reese pulled the hem of my cloth, and when I looked back, Reese was looking at me with worried look.
“Why…why can you be so strong? Although someone was killed.” (Reese)
“Did you know?” (Sirius)
“The spirits of water told me. That wolf-kin and dwarf are already…can’t be saved.” (Reese)
“…Is that so? Are you afraid of a murderer like me?” (Sirius)
“…I don’t know. Even though you fought to protect us, even though we should be grateful…what should I do?” (Reese)
While the hem was squeezed strongly, Reese had conflicted feeling.
While I was thinking of words that I should say, Emilia extended her hand and put her hand on Reese’ shoulder.
“You know, Reese, there is no need to think deeply. Aren’t you same with Sirius-sama?” (Emilia)
“Same!? That’s impossible! As for me, who almost got killed with everyone, I am a coward who still can’t kill a person!” (Reese)
And then, she talked about the situation like she wants to vomit.
