The semifinals were held, and Lelrde won to advance to the finals. His opponent in the final was, of course, Richto.
The crowd went wild when the two of them faced off. It was the battle between Leolde, who had defeated the Knight Commander, and Richto, the strongest fighter in the kingdom. One could only hope for the best.
But unfortunately, the final match was on the last day of the tournament, so the audience would have to wait. Well, that was one of the best parts of the tournament, so there were no complaints from the audience.
Leolde, who had some free time before the final, was waiting in the waiting room to fulfill his promise to Siegfried. As he waited, Siegfried appeared in the waiting room. But there is only one of them. Leolde looks behind Siegfried and wonders where Clarisse is.
"'Clarisse is waiting somewhere else. It's not the place to talk "
"I'll go with you."
"Hmm, follow me then.
Leolde did as he was told and followed Siegfried.
He didn't know where he was going, but Leolde guessed that it would be a deserted place.
After leaving the arena, the two of them walked down the street at dusk without any conversation.
He would like to ask Siegfried about his friendships, but it would be difficult to ask him about anything without any context, because it would seem strange.
he wondered if he could ask him in a very natural way, but he couldn't come up with a good way to do so.
In the meantime, Siegfried walked into a coffee shop. It was a coffee shop that Leolde had been before with his sister Leila.
It's true that there are private rooms here, so you don't have to worry about being seen. This is the first time I've ever been in a coffee shop," he said, following Siegfried's lead.
"Here's Clarice.
"...... You want me to come in alone?"
"What? Clarice said she wanted to talk to you alone."
"No, well, I can understand that, but it's kind of tough, isn't it?"
"Why?
" It's not like she forgot what I've done.
Of course she remember, but I convinced her that you changed .
"...... I'm glad to hear that, but it's a little awkward to be alone with Clarice.
"But there are things you can't talk about when I'm around, right?"
That may be true, but there's still the problem of the perpetrator and the victim being alone. So stay with us.
"If you insist, I guess I have no choice."
If you listen to the conversation up to this point, you would almost think that Leolde likes Siegfried.
It's like a weak maiden or an infant who wants you to follow her because she's lonely .
Now, leaving all that aside, the two of them went into the private room together.
Then, Clarice was sitting there alone, as if she had been waiting for him. Leolde was nervous to see his ex-fiancé Clarice after a long time.
As he froze, unable to find his first words, Siegfried offered him a help hand.
"Sorry. Did I keep you waiting?""
"No, I just got here. "
Leolde was relieved that he had made the right decision to bring Siegfried along.
Clarice glanced at Leolde, and was convinced that he was different from the past Leolde.
He was wondering if he should take a seat, when Clarice ask him to take a seat.
"Please, have a seat, both of you."
"Oh, yeah."
"Do you want me to leave?"
"I'm not sure if I should leave."
If so, I think you should stay."
"Really? Well, I'll stay."
As he said this, Siegfried sat down on the seat while looking at Leolde.
Siegfried looked at Leolde as if he really didn't want to be there, and Leolde looked at him as if he needed to be there.
It's not just that they've fought with each other twice. They can already make eye contact.
Clarice tilted her head adorably at the two people who were staring at each other for some reason, and then regained her composure and spoke to Leolde.
"It's been a long time, Leolde."
"...... Ah, yes. It's been a while, Clarice.
There's no end in sight, and the two of them are puzzling over what to say.
Clarice would like to ask about Leolde's change , but she's not sure how to go about it.
As for Leolde, she wants to apologize for te past, but he can't find the right moment to do so.
Perhaps they are more alike than he thought. Well, with the current Leoldo.
Now, Siegfried, who had grown numb to the fact that the conversation was not starting at all, made a suggestion.
"Hey, do you want me to leave after all?"
It happens at the same time. Siegfried was being stared at by both Leolde and Clarisse as if he had a hole in him.
It seems that they want him not to leave, but he should at least say it in words.
Siegfried, who was stared at the two of them with a devilish expression, screamed unbearably.
"Hey "
The two of them succeeded in stopping Siegfried somehow, but the situation did not improve.
Siegfried, being shown this situation, began to desperately want to escape.
He had come along just in case something happened to Clarice, but with the way she was acting, there would be no problem.
But it would be hard to stay like this forever. So Siegfried decided to make a move to defuse the situation.
"Anyway, why don't you say something instead of keeping quiet?"
The two peopl looked at each other. When Clarice was about to open her mouth, Leolde bowed first.
" I'm sorry, Clarice. I've hurted you. In the end, I ended up scarring you for life.
As he bowed his head, Leoldo couldn't see what Clarice's face looked like now.
Siegfried, who was watching from the side, did not miss that Clarice's face had twisted into a look and showed sadness.
But there was no need to interfere. Siegfried has already said everything he need to say during the duel. So, this is a matter between the two of them .
The semifinals were held, and Lelrde won to advance to the finals. His opponent in the final was, of course, Richto.
