　It is tormenting her and trying to do something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I really wanted to save her, but I don't have the power to do so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry, guys.

　So I chose to stay by her side.

　I feel really bad about what I did to Usato and the others.

　They tried to help me and look for Shea together, but I ended up acting selfishly and causing trouble.

　But ...... I was still worried about her.

　A large stone building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"He's a nuisance after all, isn't he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why didn't you just disable him right then and there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.　You saw how he repelled the light magic with his bare hands?　That's not human skill.

　You're right, Usato's moves are not human.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the bitter look on his face suggests that he is telling the truth.

"You think if you take away his cage hand, he'll be a little upset, but he doesn't react and tries to fight back, doesn't he?　I was so chilled that time. ......!"

　The trowel he took from Usato?　Shea's shoulders slumped as she looked at the bracelet-like object she had taken from Usato.

"If you're holding hostages, you have the upper hand in the fight, don't you?　What if they're dead?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You said you didn't care about Shea. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll be in real, real trouble if this body dies. It's going to ruin everything. She was acting like she could afford it, but secretly she was in a big hurry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh, ......, that's too haphazard, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I wasn't worried about being killed if I was dealing with a lifeguard who prioritizes human life and a kanagi. The only uncertainty was Koga, but Esta had him under control. That was a big help. That's my best man."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's no problem."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Having said all that, Shea stands tall once more.

"I know Usato is a pain in the ass, but considering what we're planning to do, we're destined to be involved no matter what.

"I don't want anything to do with that thing. I've had a really bad experience with him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Specifically?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"....... I don't want to tell you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Shea's words made Esta hold his forehead, his bloodless face smeared with exhaustion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Chuckling at him, Shea puts his hand on his cheek.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Unlike a brave man, he is not bound by his position and can go wherever he feels the need to go. The worst part is that he belongs to the Kingdom of Lingle. ...... that kingdom will not spare Usato's help."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can you predict where he'll go next?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can, but ...... uh, this could get messy again. Well, ...... we can talk about this later."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Shea breaks off the conversation and looks down at Aul, who is lying on the floor tied up nearby.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Shea smiles at Esta, who is barely conscious, her eyes vacant and her mouth moving slightly, as if she is satisfied.

"Take her to your room. I'll play with her later.

"You're going to wipe out my mind?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't be afraid. That doesn't make any sense. Your original mind is still here, and it can be used as a weapon against Usato.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

　I have no power to stop him when he is about to suffer so badly. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel a frustration in my body that I have never felt even in the forest where I grew up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still have to be with her,...... and I have to be with her,.......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Shea finally turned her attention to me after seeing Esta off with Aul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Shea stared back at me with fear in her eyes, which were cold and not kind, and for some reason his smile deepened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I didn't expect you to come this way ......, but I welcome you. Rune."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not going to help you do anything bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's fine. I just needed a sponsor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A caretaker?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What do you want me to do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Shea ignores my question and holds up two fingers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There are two rules. The first is that you don't leave this building. Don't even think about running away, okay?　You'll be dead then, won't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... What's the second rule?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She kneeled down on the floor so that she was looking at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She brought her face close to my ear and whispered,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You must not reveal anything about me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As soon as she said these words, her body became weak and she collapsed against me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I rushed to catch her in my arms, and she looked up with a soft "no......" in her voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Ah, what's that?　Why am I here......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Shea?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What, Roone?　You brought me here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Shea had no idea what had just happened, and I couldn't hold back the tears that welled up in my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's Shea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not cold eyes, but warm and kind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With my vision blurred by tears, I hugged her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Siaaaaah!!!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Noooooo!　She is so strong!　What's inside is coming out!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hugged her as hard as I could.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I released her arms, she looked around me and at my face alternately in confusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What the hell is going on?　We were in the forest before we fell asleep, weren't we?　I have no idea what's going on!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I finally understood the meaning of the word "caretaker" here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am the one who takes care of the bad guy in Shea while he sleeps .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can be there for her when she suffers, but I can't do anything about the cause of her suffering.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

---I can be there for her, but I can't do anything about what's causing her pain... but I chose that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no turning back now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I chose to be there for Shea in a selfish way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

---But I'm not the only one trying to help her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was only with her for a short time, but I understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know that Usato will come to save her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll do my best too. ......!!!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My job is to support and protect her until then.
