“It’s become cold, hasn’t it?”
“Everything is fine, [Name]. This region has always been often hit by lightning.”
“Are these important letters?”
“You surely live in a big city, right? I admire those who are able to see various shops. You go outside often, so do you like staying home better after all?”
“I do not particularly like or dislike it. If I have a goal, I go outside.”
“Yes, things that others… do naturally are very difficult for me.”
“The fact that I can’t go out even though I want to is… because…”
“I will die here! That’s what I want to do! I can’t live… in the outside world at this point! I’ll die like this… in this place… so go!”
“If you ever need help, call my name.”
“I have been waiting for you to call my name, [Name].”
“Forgive me, but I will have to treat you a little roughly.”
“That was scary… that was scary…”
“You were scared? But now, you are safe.”
“I am forever indebted to you for rushing to my aid.”
“It is not as if I have forgotten my past, but I have no intention of continuing to engage in it.”
“You said we’d go together, and that you’d take me there…”
“No way, no way! If you’re not taking me, I don’t want to go.”
“How cruel. You just hurt my heartbroken self even more, [Name]…”
“If only I had made you do your work even if I had to tie you down, this wouldn’t have…”
“Attending a festival alone… isn’t that like a punishment?”
“Heh, so you normally dress like this. It’s kinda like a… young mistress? Pretty cute. How nice.”
“There’s no need for weapons. What’s with you? That’s scary.”
“I would like tangible content details on exactly what sort of mission ‘having fun’ is.”
“You’re talking kinda difficult; you aren’t used to having fun, right? That’s fine, this big sis will teach it to you.”
“Hey, this is delicious. Really delicious. Okay, open your mouth.”
“This is no good. I will redo it. What did you write, [name]?”
“What~? Do you not write letters outside of work or something? Is it really that troubling?”
“I have long stopped writing personal letters. I only write at work.”
“Why did you stop writing? Should I try guessing?”
“I am waiting. I have been… repeatedly told to stop doing so. However, no matter what, I… I…”
“You… have a crush on someone who isn’t here anymore.”
“What is… a ‘crush’?”
“I… cannot… fall in love.”
“You… You… What the hell are you doing?”
“Do ignore me. Please… leave me be.”
“You’re… an idiot, aren’t you?”
“Yes. I am an idiot… and a fool.”
“So love… is a… necessity?”
“Don’t touch me in such a familiar manner!”
“E-Eeh, I’ll be on my own again?”
“Is today a good or a bad day? I wonder which.”
“I am not… carrying any weapons. I will not kill anyone. I was told… to not kill anymore. And I… will not do it even if ordered to.”
“You have any business with me? If it’s about resentment, I won’t listen.”
“I do not… resent you.”
“Rather than dying… it’s harder to stay alive.”
“It’s way harder to stay alive. Still, swallow all of it down and live on. It just so happens that those who can’t do this end up dying. If you won’t die by your own hands, never blame your sins on anyone, and live on.”
“I don’t want… to see the one I love acting as a tool ever again.”
“They may be human beings just like me, but I can’t bring myself to think of them as such.”
“[Name]. You’re my number one friend. A friend like you… won’t show up before me ever again. You’re that important, even if you don’t want to be.”
“You’ll probably have to negotiate, but if it’s you, you can work it out with your misleading flattery.”
“Your fighting form was… just like a fierce god…”
“I also to forget about it. But, in my heart, forever and ever, even now… even though I wake up in the morning, sleep at night and I am breathing, a fury that I cannot suppress burns within my body at unexpected times.”
“Just how many weapons do you have hidden within your person?”
“Although I am your enemy, I admire your thirst for victory. You know not to give up.”
“It is not… as if I wish to win. By winning this fight, there is not a single thing I would gain. To me, fighting is living. If I lose, it only means I will die.”
“Time, stand still. You are beautiful.”
“I will… explain the circumstances later. There are many things that I want to apologize to you for. But for now, forgive what I’m going to do… Don’t ever let go.”
“Please, stay by my side… I do not mind however you treat me. I simply want to be with you. That is all. Nothing else… is necessary. [Name], I… want to be together with you.”
“I’m not going anywhere… I need you. I’ll be by your side…!”
“I’m telling you not to fret, aren’t I?”
“You’re no tool. You, who I am to protect, should not fight.”
“I am… not the sort of man you take me to be. Not a magnificent lord, nor an honorable individual. I’m definitely not worthy of you.”
“I understand… ‘I love you’… a little as well.”
“[Name], please. Show me your face. No matter what form you take, my feelings towards you won’t change.”
“It’s fine if it’s little by little. If you… are coming… to understand it, I will wait any amount of time. Little by little is okay. I won’t… pry for an answer immediately. Until you say ‘I understand’… I will wait however long it takes… only for you. Today, I’d wanted to tell you ‘I love you’ once again, but it’s not as if I had desired anything from you in return.”
“[Name], I love you.”
