Eternity Blue

Chapter IV

Elaine putted her heart together and breathed calmly, "Calm down... Calm down... This my first battle there is no need to be nervous, I need to do this." She whispered herself then watched as Diluc defeated a nameless man with his claymore which the Demi-Servant is going next.

'That feeling is normal, Elly. All you need it to do is doing you best.' Told Galahad while Diluc noticed her and headed straight towards her.

She griped her shield tightly then let the air out of her and Elaine's eyes were shown brightly. 'I will do my best. Afterall I promised to Kaeya that I will make it to the final round.'

"Elaine!" Her adoptive brother tapped her shoulder which she lifted her head towards him and saw that he smiled her brightly but Elaine saw his doubt on her, "It's your turn. Are you going to be alright?" Diluc asked and the Demi-Servant just nodded.

"Yes I am. Now if you excuse me brother, I'll go to the battleground." Elaine said to him with a confident smile then she passed away from him as she went down while the red haired boy couldn't help, but yelling at her hastly.

"Elaine!"

She stopped her footsteps and eyed at him questionable as he looked kind of angry and Kaeya is with them as he managed to win his first round like Diluc did.

"Why are you decided to leave us behind in the future? Is this because we aren't good enough for you?" Diluc's last question was stabbed her in the middle of her chest and only looked at him unreadible while Kaeya was silent as he want to hear it aswell since her intention was very unclear for him as Elaine told him that she wanted to see the world, however there's something more about her words that made him feel unease.

"I... I'm not feel ready to tell you Diluc and even you Kaeya." Said Elaine and turned away from them as she didn't want to show her face to them, "But what I only I can say is that I love you guys."

Their eyes widen as they both heard it from her.

"It's the part of it why I don't to tell you because this selfish reason of mine."

Then the Demi-Servant left them alone as she rushed to the battleground leaving Diluc and Kaeya behind who were spechless.

'Isn't this way too cruel to say that to us?'

Thought Kaeya grimly while Diluc clenched his fist.

"Well, I believe we should let this slide for now." Suggested Kaeya which the redhead looked at him with unreadible emotion which the blue haired boy slowly understood why she didn't want to tell them anything, "Elaine will tell us someday in the future which we need to understand her decisions for this moment." He said it simple.

Diluc just nodded silently.

'I should I apologieze her later from what I told her.'

-

As Elaine keep walking to the battlefield with guilty feeling from the conversation.

"I should able tell them, but I couldn't bring it up." She said filled with regret because it felt so wrong for her to hiding about her condition, but Elaine was afraid what they are going to do if she told them. Afterall Elaine is just a outlander who doesn't belong in that world and she was supposed to be die in that rotten fire.

'Elaine Ragnvindr!'

She flinched when Galahad yelled her in their mind.

'You're right that you should them told that even it was not the right time for you, however you knew that day will come that the both asking you that and it did but that's okay that you didn't open up your voice.' The holy knight told her while Elaine kept listen to him, "You three are still children that had yet to see the world. Someday, You will telling them what you want to tell but don't just think that it was a mistake to live. You are the one who summon me at the end of the holy grail war and I made this decisions that you should live your life!'
