After crying in the middle of the conversation and returning to Shirasagi Castle, Lord Custadio seems to have been driven by strong remorse.

“Earth-sama!”

When I opened the door, he was screaming with a tearful expression. Kneeling in front of me, hands clasped as if praying … Did you wait all the time in front of this door?

“I’m so sorry I’m an idiot! Sorry about the other day. Did I speak with such emotion that you were offended? I’m really sorry! Do you want to hit me? I’ll let him hit me!”

“That’s not what happened … I didn’t …”

“But … But you even stopped coming!”

Ah …

I asked Kou once: How often should I go to Lütbya? And what came back was a very simple answer.

“What do you want to do?”

“Kou-san … I want to stay here as long as possible.”

Kou’s black eyes flickered and the corners of his mouth turned up.

“I’m glad! I also want you to stay here longer.”

Gradually, my heart warms. I am happy and encouraged if he and the king, who live with me, think that of me.

“Hmmm. Most humans were immersed in Lütbya, except during the mandatory time of King Ryuo’s zeal. Because this castle has few recreation places for humans and King Ryuo cannot stay long, they were bored …”

“Well … what about the person who stayed here for so many years?”

“Are you talking about Suri?”

“… Yes.”

“Oh yeah. She was the one who stayed here the longest … Suri was a quiet person. She was weaving her hair all day.”

Rui said that the more time I spent in the castle, the more poisonous it would be to humans. At the same time, the more you immerse yourself in Lütbya, the more your soul is distorted and it becomes impossible for you to stay with him. I don’t want either option. It doesn’t make sense if I want to stay near Rui for a long time, but … It’s better to die than my soul is distorted.

“She was quiet. In the last months in this castle, she told me that she wanted to stay here until she died. She was very weak.”

“Was she weak?”

“Sorry, forget it. Also, Ryuo hates Suri’s story.”

“Why?”

“She was … Oh, I’m not the one to talk about this. I’m sorry.” I’m so sorry. Kou regretted opening his mouth and deliberately left the room saying something like, “Oh, I have a lot of errands!”

Suri is a “favorite” whose name has been passed down in the Recatovia Temple from generation to generation, even though it has been 500 years since she was alive. I am not offended at all. I’m not angry either. Maybe, I feel a little sad, but …

Returning to the present, Custadio-san and Sigis-san, who is at his side, tell me to please follow them to the priest’s office, as happened the other day.

Finally begins a slightly more formal presentation.

“My name is Sigis Ornato. Thank you for being so patient with us … Young Earth.”

He lowered his head hastily, even though he knew I didn’t quite like these attitudes. He’s a man and all that, but he’s so beautiful that I even marvel at him. If that person smiles at me or tries to touch me, I will feel absolutely shy because it is a different beauty from Rui’s beauty.
