Really beautiful!

　As she says this, May runs through a field of flowers. A handsome guy would probably say something like, "You're more beautiful than me," but I'm a little too shy to say it.

'Hey, Roy!　Come on!

　I was watching Mae run around in a field of flowers when she suddenly called out to me. What was going on?　I walked over to May's side and she suddenly squeezed my hand. I shivered and looked at May and she had a huge smile on her face.

'Thank you, Roy. You brought me to this beautiful place. You remember me, don't you?　My birthday.

　........What's the matter, you remember it too. I thought you'd forgotten about it.

Of course I did. It's May's birthday, you know.

　As I say this, May's face turns a little red and she smiles. Yeah, it's the kind of smile I want to look at forever. This is our chance, right?　This is a definite opportunity!

Me, May!

　I put my hands on both of May's shoulders and turn to face her. May freaks out at the sudden sound of my voice, but she doesn't say anything, she turns to me. Yo, okay, man Roy, the biggest fight of my life!

May, I...

You're in my way.

　Just when I was about to summon the courage to confess to them, a group of men came out of the forest who obviously wouldn't be in this out-of-place place. Don't interrupt me, you idiot.

　There were about 20 of them in total. There were some familiar faces among them. I believe they were Mikloua's cronies. All three of them. Three of the men came out of the crowd.

"The vermin that flew around Master McClure. "I'm afraid you'll be lost for the day.

'Yes. Originally we were supposed to stand by that man's side, and now it's your fault!

I'll kill you for sure!

　It's just called resentment, you know?　d*mn, it's totally messy. I stand to defend May and draw my sword.

　The men, who are probably hired mercenaries who saw that, start to raise their weapons, too.

'May, stay back.'

Roy.

Click!　What are you, a princess knight?　You think you can beat this many people?

　The guy who looks like the leader of the mercenaries says something like that to me, but I snicker.

''Ha, I'm not going to lose to a mercenary crumble like you guys.

　I came here to catch up with you, too. You don't get beat up that easily.

"Hey, get him!

　The men jump out at the command of the mercenary leader. I also step forward to keep May away from them. The first to arrive are five men. They each have an axe and a sword.

　I avoid their swinging axes and kick them in the side. He then cuts at the man next to him. The man tries to block it with his sword.

"Lightning, weaponize, thunderbolt sword!

　It's a lightning magic I managed to learn from my brother. When he touches the man's sword, he sends lightning towards the sword. In an instant, electricity rushes to the man's body and smoke billows from him. First one.

　You crouch to avoid a sideways swing of the sword from behind. The second one.

"You little bastard!

　The leader is pissed off that his friends have been killed. No, no, no, you're here to kill me, so you should at least be prepared to be killed too. I'll just cut down three or four of them.

　Those three cronies won't be able to fight, so there are only 14 of us left. That's where we're going.

Please! Help me!

　May let out a loud cry. Then a few wolves came out of the forest. Those wolves attacked the mercenary men. They came with May's power.



　A wolf appeared and put a sword to the throat of the bewildered man. The other men are in a panic as the wolf bites their legs and arms. But

f*ck you!

　The leader of the mercenaries who cut down two wolves with a great sword. I knew that guy was different from the other guys. He takes down the wolves like he's protecting the three who can't fight.

''You guys protect your clients!　I'll kill that kid!

　They were down to about seven men except for the leader, all of the rest of them, with their cronies protecting them, and only the leader's man came out.

'Die, you little shit!

　The leader man says that and swings his big sword at me. It's true that he moves faster than the other mercenary guys.

''I know more awesome people!　Lightning Vortex, weapon granted!　Takemikazuchi!
　I haven't caught up to my brother at all, but this is the strongest move I can make!

　The mercenary leader raises his sword to smash into the great sword that he swings down. Then the great sword was able to cut it off without feeling any resistance at all.

　And then, as if sucked in, the sword went to the mercenary leader's neck.

　sputtering

　And then the head and body parted. The scene was all around me, and all I could hear was the sound of a man falling over and the buzzing of insects.

'Well, what do we do now?'

　As I point my sword at the rest of them, the rest of the mercenaries flee like spiders scattering spiderlings. The cronies of the target to be protected also flee after them.

''.........Hah, I'm so tired!

　When I'm sure the guys are gone within my sight, I sit down with a thud in place. Huh, I'm really tired. I, I still can't use that magic that many times, right? With my current magic power, it's only about two times at best.

I'm not going to be able to get out of it.　Are you hurt?

　Then May came in with a worried look on her face. She looks relieved when I nod and she looks relieved.

　........But it's no longer in the mood to confess. It was in such a good mood earlier. It sucks. When I'm depressed.

What do you need, Roy?

No, I just thought it was a great atmosphere. I had something to say... haha, let's go home, May.

　I stood up dejectedly and was about to head towards the forest when my clothes were grabbed from behind me. When I turned around, I saw May lying on her back, looking embarrassed. I was thrilled by the sight of her.

...What's up, May?

Will you tell me what Roy meant?

　And then he shook my hand. I'll tell you, if you say so much!　I grab both of May's shoulders and look at her directly in front of me. Then I take a deep breath. Good!

May, you need to hear my feelings.

Yes.

'I've always been ... in love with May!　I've loved her ever since she was in the church in Arcadia. Even when May said she was going to follow her brothers, I didn't want to leave her, so I followed her!　I don't want to leave May. I need you by my side!
　May, marry me!

　I tell May my feelings for her and at the same time show her the ring I bought. She looks at me intently. Then she begins to cry.

Meh, Mei?

''I'm sorry, I'm just too happy. Roy, please keep up the good work.

...Yes!

Oh, my God!　God!

　I turn around to hug Mae, too happy to do so. May is dumbfounded, but she hugs me back. We go around a few times and settle down, and then me and May look at each other. And.

　Me and May's shadows overlapped in the light of the luminous insects.
