I'm sorry about earlier.
..........


　To Amira, who had apologized earlier in the review of the Winter General's battle, Leleia looked at her with suspicion. Leleia scratched the scales on her neck in frustration at the way she didn't think of Amira before she was selfish and quick to spout off.


''What is it? You are. I'm uncomfortable.''
...Huh?
''It's like a dragon with its fangs pulled out. The Divine Dragon People are dumbfounded to hear this.
'Oh!　If you're looking for a fight, I'm buying it!
'Well, well, well, well!　Please calm down!
"f*ck, let go of me, you f*cking dog!　You've got a fight on your hands from this guy!


　Amira, who was seized by Daryl when she was about to pounce on him now, shouted, her red scales glowing slightly.


''You've been wanting to f*ck me for a while now, haven't you!　It's making me uncomfortable, isn't it?　I'll deal with you right here and now, so come on!
"....the contract..." - Salamander.
Mr. Leleia!
That's great!　Bring it on!
Wait, are you serious?　We'll wait!　It's dangerous!


　Leleia, full of murderous intent, answered by bringing out the salamander, and Hannah was in a great hurry to stop her. While she was fussing about this, Oli, wearing an apron, came to check on her.


''What's wrong?''
Mr. Oli!　Please go get Mr. Tsutomu.　It's a fight!
..... Amira. If you don't stop now, I'm going to skip the dinner. I'll have you wash your own laundry and clean your room, and finally I'll tell Mr. Tsutomu to do it.


　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them. It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, because you can't say anything too strong. It was obvious that if you disobeyed, it would be even more trouble.

　Sighing again at Amira, who had stopped her rampage, Oli also turned to look at Leleia, who had the salamander on her shoulder.


''Leleia-san, please calm down a bit. You're already tired today, right?　So if I'm going to fight, I think it's better to rest properly today and fight at a later date when I'm at my best.
Yeah.


　Oli, with a soft smile on his face even as Leleia's killing intent, and Salamander, the lizard, who looked into his face as if agreeing with his opinion while riding on his shoulder. Leleia, who was suggested by one such person and one of them, fogged up the killing spirit with a bottom-cold, expressionless expression.


''........tch. I'll leave the game to you.''
..........


　If it was the old Amira, she would have rushed in regardless of all that. But even Oli, who is in charge of the Clan House and would have no power over it, was able to stop her. Leleia involuntarily clicked her tongue, and Hanna, Daryl and Corina looked surprised at her actions.

　After the discussion, a review meeting was held again with a frightened Daryl in the center. In the midst of all this, Salamander, who had been called out by Leia, was shaking his head, looking like he was having a bad day.

　Then, after the review meeting and dinner, Tsutomu received a report from Daryl that the two of them were having a falling out.


'Leleia and Amira, come to my room later,'
Yes.
Oh, wow.


　Then Leleia and Amira were called into their room by Tsutomu. Tsutomu, who had let the two men into his room with a stern atmosphere, was rubbing his nose in annoyance.


'Leleia. Didn't the discussion help?
..........
Well, that's okay. So you two have agreed to play tomorrow?　Is the game a serious one?
Yes.
'Why do you look like you're having fun? I know for a fact you've been a pain in the ass to other people. I know you're sorry, but you need to change your attitude a bit.


　At Tsutomu's half-eyed glare, Amira turned her head to the side as if she was sulking.


'Shut up. It's none of your business.'
I'm the clan leader?
I don't care how small it is. It's just a matter of time before he gets a shot at me. You won't be able to solve it by talking, will you?
We're hoping for the best.


　Tsutomu had a very cold look in his eyes towards Leleia, who bought Amira's selling words.


''........Hmmm. Well then, can Amira excuse herself for a moment?　I just wanted to talk to Leleia alone for a moment.
'Oh?　I'm not done talking--
I don't need it.


　Tsutomu pushed Amira out of the room without saying a word, pushing her out of the room, and even took her all the way out to the living room so that she wouldn't be eavesdropped on, and ordered Daryl to keep an eye on her.

　Tsutomu then returned to his room where Leleia was waiting and crossed his arms with a stern look.


''Leleia. If things go on until you and Amira have a serious fight, I'm sorry, but I'll think about expelling you before that. I can see that you're definitely going to kill me.
I'm not going to kill him, sir.


　Leleia's expression is terrifyingly expressionless in response to Tsutomu's words. However, Tsutomu was not pressured and looked as good as he was.


It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to find a solution. It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about it. But if you're going to try to get into a serious fight with me, I'm going to expel you.
..........
'Amira is an attacker I've trained with great care and I owe her parents, Camille, a debt of gratitude. So it would be a problem for me if we had a serious fight and she was killed by any chance.
...I see.


　Tsutomu's eyes narrowed sullenly at Leleia, who muttered in an indifferent voice.


''In the first place, if you want to have a serious fight with Amira and win and look back. Why did Leleia come into the Infinite Circle?　...At first I was honestly fooled by Leleia's performance, too, but halfway through, I realized its purpose.


　At first, he'd brought her into the clan because of Leleia's seriousness and the way Amira didn't seem to care about her. But I was aware of the sludgy emotions I could see behind Leleia's face when I saw the situation.


'Leleia went out of her way to abandon Aldoret Crow's second army to come to this clan, and she was determined to become an army here and look back at Amira. Then it would be a good competition between clan members, and I don't dislike that idea either. That's why I allowed you to join the clan.
..........
'But now you're trying to run away from the seriousness of the game, aren't you? Have you lost sight of your purpose?
You really know your stuff.


　Hearing such affirming words from Tsutomu, Leleia laughed bitterly. Then he let out a tired voice.


''To be honest, it's partly because I'm tired. Taking an army in this clan means that we have to at least beat Amy or Diniel. Rather than that, it would be easier for me to beat Amira directly.''
'But Amira would definitely be more disappointed if Leleia took the army rather than winning a direct match. You've seen Leleia, right?　The look on Amira's face when she wasn't chosen as one of the troops in the Winter General's attack. After I saw that face, I finally became convinced of Leleia's purpose. Perhaps no one was more humiliated than Amira. How did you come up with this? I thought you were a genius.
''Well to be honest, I'm not at all happy to be praised for this kind of thing,''
Well, it's not a compliment, is it?
I've never met anyone like you before. You make me feel better about myself as we talk.


　Leleia lets out a small, emotionless laugh as she self-mutilates. Then she let out a sigh and spoke up as if to squeeze it out.


'I was born into a family of knights. But I am not a knight. I'm not qualified for it because I have this kind of personality for some reason. ........and if I were a fair and honest knight, I would have already forgiven Amira.
Maybe.
''But when I saw the look on Amira's face when I wasn't chosen for the first team I was horrified. I got goosebumps just thinking that those eyes were turned on me. I am such an ugly creature. I am.
'From what you've just said, you just want to disrespect Amira already.
''Well maybe, no, you're right. I don't really care about my past companions. I just get angry at the current Amira. Why, if it was her now, I could have followed her. My friends could have followed me. ........that's why I'm jealous of you too, Tsutomu-san.
Well that's not what I was expecting.


　In response to Tsutomu who says in a mocking tone, Leleia covers her eyes with one hand and continues to speak.


''To a dragonborn, a divine dragonborn is special. But even without that, I was still attracted to Amira. That's why I wanted to follow her and did my best to follow her. But if.........oh, it's useless. I'm assuming.


　Leleia cut off her words and lowered her covered hands. Her eyes were blazing with jealousy.


'But let me tell you this. It's not fair, you. Why is it that you are so respected and liked by Amira?　I'd like to talk to Amira too, if I could talk to her on good terms. How much better it would be if we could let it all go by the wayside, like our friends who received an apology.
I don't think it's too late to start, do you?
'I can't do it. I can't do it. It's all messed up already, and I love him so much I want to kill him. I admire her, but I'm jealous of her. I need to win over Amira for once.
So I guess I'll have to be a part of the team sooner rather than later.
'....Can you let me fight Amira one time, just one time?
'No, you said you liked him so much you wanted to kill him, but that's not the way it works.
..........


　In response to Tsutomu's return, Leleia only turned over with a red face.
