While listening to the beautiful voice of a girl singing from afar, Morial was staring at the dusky sky. He was afraid to look at the pitiful state of his body. It was nothing more than a broken doll, with both legs and the left arm gone.
It was like an awkward Daruma with only the right arm attached.
「Haaaa......」
He was thinking of what he would do with his life from tomorrow on. There was nothing else other than that inside his head.
「I won't meet Suvia again next year......Or」
The words of the hero resounded in his head. It has already been 5 years since they've first met in battle. And every year around that time, they would always meet somewhere before the finals. 『Every year, we would always meet somewhere. It was always fun to see how much we improved in one year and we trained some more every time, without thinking about being male or female.』
Every time after they fought, they would always consider to fight again next year. With those words they would always agree. That's what I was supposed to be thinking about.
And in this year's tournament, he was also able to see her again in the tournament. He was thrilled to be able to fight her once more.
「...I can't meet her anymore......can't see.........so frustrating」
Tears overflowed. He firmly grasped the futon with his remaining right arm.
「To not be able to see Suvia... I don't want it... I want to see you......」
He cannot fight, especially in his current unsightly shape. 『I didn't lie about my desires to see Suvia』. Even so, he doesn't have the courage to face her in this current shape. It's already too late for him to realize this.
「Sigh, I'm really pathetic. I...... with my body in such condition, I don't want her to see me in this pitiful state...」
I would probably retire as an adventurer with this. There's also none of my family members left in the capital. The only thing waiting for him is despair. For a moment, he thought that he could still use magic, but it would be better if he would just die, so he won't be a burden to anyone.
Then, the door was knocked.
「wh!!......Who?」
During this time, most of the residents of the town are enjoying the festival, and so they would always ask if there is anyone behind the door. But the voice he heard was someone he didn't expect to come and visit him more than anyone else he could think of.
「......Morial, it is me......Suvia」
「......Fue?」
He was stupefied. What would he have done if she was a few minutes late is what he thought.
He currently appeared like someone wrapped in bandages, and was only in his underwear...... Realizing this, he immediately dived.
If he was to be seen in such a figure, he was thinking that he would rather just die. However, he remembered the reason why he cannot come out, and also the reason why he was in his room.
「Su, su su SUVIA!? Wa wa, wait, I can't let you see me like this!! P, please wait for a bit!!」
「Eh, ah, oh... well, are you ok?」
「I'm fine!! Just give me 2 minutes, no, 1 should be enough!!」
He tried reaching for the closet to get some clothes, but then he realized that he can't open it with only one arm, and again tears overflowed for a different reason, that he realized that he can't even do something this simple.
