Hey!

What's going on?

　Sheila responded to Phil's call.

　Quena's feet, which still hadn't stopped the heat on her face, stopped naturally.

'Here, drink.'

　Phil took the vial lightly into his mouth and then tossed it to them. Sheila took it first.

'What's this?'

The sap of the elven god tree. Look at that.

　Phil showed his own arm to the two men.

　The wounds from the fierce battle just now are closing up.

　Quena says.

'An elf is .......'

'Yeah. It's like a reward for carrying out a request at a charismatic party.

No, thank you. We're your rivals in here.

Not in here. Not in here.

　Phil looks at them and continues.

'In no small measure, Soria-sama and Yui are aware of you guys. That's why I want to fight with you guys at full power. I'm sure you guys are still lower in rank and ability.

'That's one word too many!

　Sheila says with a vein floating on her forehead.

　However, when she didn't deny it, she wasn't proud of it either.

　But that doesn't mean she would abandon the test.

　She might lose in pure one-on-one, but it's geography, knowledge, and luck that make or break an exam.

'...... Well, but I'll take it, thank you!　And I want to kiss Zid!　And I'm not going to give it up to you guys!

　Sheila drinks a small bottle of liquid.

　She makes a little extra and gingerly turns her hand to Kåñëa.

　Kåñëa looks at it for a while, and then looks away. As if thinking about something.

'Kåñëa, aren't you going to drink?　Even your wounds haven't healed, have they?

...... I am.

　Out of pride.

　Kåñëa can't touch the vial.

　Then Sheila says.

'Kåñëa!'

!

　Suddenly, a loud voice called out and Kåñëa shuddered.

'You were like that just now!　Let Zid say 'Let's kiss'!

　Pluri Sheila says, puffing out her cheeks out of envy and frustration at Kåñëa's slow speech and behavior.

　Even if you can see that, Kåñëa, who can't spell out the words well, couldn't meet your gaze.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. I've never had to deal with people for anything other than a win-win.'

"Bullshit!　How many times have you eaten my food?　Now Kåñëa's body is 100% homemade food from me, right!

That's because Sheila lives in my house!

Jeez!　Housework is expensive!　You have relied on people already!　So you should at least be grateful for Phil's kindness!

Yeah, you're right. Don't worry about thanking me. I've been in a fight with you out of the blue before ...... and I've been in a fight with you before. Just consider it an apology for that.

......

　Quena thinks.

　Without pause, Sheila says.

'You can't spoil Jide like that, can you?　You like it, don't you?

　Kåñëa showed no reaction.

　I suppose he's moved away from the realm of upsetting and has arrived at some sort of mastery aspect.

'Maybe I like it. ............ I think it was jealousy at first. But then it led to admiration. As we worked together, I'm sure ......

　Kåñëa suppresses her left breast with her own hand. As if to confirm the uplifting feeling. Her heart was certainly more elevated than normal.

''- I love you too. I love you too!

!

'So I want to pass this test any way I can!　I want to kiss Jide, even if it means I have to help the enemy!

...... Yeah, right.

Yeah. You don't have to think about relying on it. Use it, but that's okay.

　The two of them pushed Kåñëa's back.

　And Kåñëa, spoiled.

　He took the vial from Sheila and stirred it at once.

　Returning the empty vial to Phil, Kåñëa checked the effects of the sap. The wound is going away.

'...... Thanks,'

'Hmm. Well then, here's a no-questions-asked game!　Mr. Evil Sword knows where the demon grass is and the shortest route to it!　Farewell!

　Sheila moves at high speed with lightning on her legs.

''Nuh-uh!　He's a coward!''

　Phil followed after him.

　Kåñëa chuckled and took a step forward as she watched him.
