Chapter 163 – Episode 162. Where You Are Is Here
【I don’t want to talk much. Just leave me alone.]
‘There must be a reason. Why are you doing this?’
Astrid couldn’t understand.
I couldn’t understand why Asti was doing this, what was the problem, what was dissatisfaction.
Can you tell me if you have any complaints?
Did you say something even if you wanted something?
Did you say something even if you didn’t like it?
If you don’t talk and get angry, nothing will be solved.
【There really is no reason.】
‘Tomorrow is an important day, you know. But what if it’s like this?’
【That’s important to you guys, not to me… 】
‘Please don’t say things that don’t sound like words.’
The conversation just keeps spinning around.
Asti clearly had a problem, and Astrid had to hear what the problem was and he would solve it or do something about it, but even so, Asti didn’t try to say anything.
‘Hey, I know you used to be a man… To be honest, I can’t believe it either. Are you saying it out of fear that you might tell it to Your Highness?’
【It’s not like that… Did you tell me if you missed it? Does it make a difference if I say it?]
‘… That’s right, though.’
Tomorrow was the day they set out to kill Astain.
It was an important day just as important, and it was also an important day for Astrid and Leopold’s future.
Still, seeing Asti so uncooperative and seemingly out of her hands, Astrid was literally annoyed.
Whoa.
Astrid let out a long sigh.
Thanks to the warmth of the fireplace that filled the room, his breath did not escape, but
On the contrary, Astrid’s irritation was finally reaching a critical point.
“… Follow your heart. I don’t even know!”
You can’t talk, you can’t talk, and you won’t listen to what you say.
In light of Astrid’s patience, she had endured a lot, and on the contrary, not showing resentment was a great improvement.
– Suddenly there was a loud noise. Is there something going on?
Along with the knocking sound, Leopold’s voice was heard.
It seems that Astrid’s screams in irritation had been heard outside, and Leopold had heard them again.
“… Come in, Your Highness.”
“Excuse me.”
The door opened, and Leopold entered the room with a chill.
“It’s very cold today.”
As soon as I came in, asking why I was annoyed was a bit of a stretch.
As soon as he entered the room, Leopold could sense the cause of Astrid’s annoyance.
She is alone in her room, and there is nothing around her. The reason is… It’s just a matter of knowing.
“Um, Astrid. Could you please step aside for a moment?”
It’s a pity, but Astrid is somewhat lacking in the ability to quickly get the answer she wants even if she comforts someone in a situation like this. However, Astrid herself was well aware of that fact, so asking her to leave was not too bad for her to accept.
“… They say they won’t change.”
Astrid’s voice seemed to be suppressing her irritation.
The expression on her face was also unusual.
*
Why the hell should I be like this?
Asti was confused.
No one can give an answer.
At least in this world, even she doesn’t know who I really am, but who she is, can I tell her?
He was a stranger.
She was a stranger
It couldn’t melt into this world, and it couldn’t melt into her original world either.
When you think about it, it was a strange thing.
When she was brought back to her original world by Vera Shien, her form was Astrid.
And she, no, he didn’t feel any discomfort.
I accepted it so naturally, as if it was the original form, and worked again.
The sense of life is that of modern people, but the appearance is that of this world.
This sense of incongruity was adding to her confusion.
Who am I.
Who the heck am i
Are you a person from this world or a person of modern times?
Who the heck am i
I can’t even remember the name
I can’t even remember the original look.
“Asti.”
A low voice came.
As the TV channels turn, the view changes, and the presence of the limbs finally takes on substance.
She felt her warmth in her hand on her lap, and felt Leopold’s gaze on her.
Unfortunately, I felt it only then.
Someone who knows me is here.
Someone who knows me more than the real world is here.
Not me, a stranger, here, not Astrid, the owner of this body,
Asti—There is someone here who recognizes me wearing this name.
“… Yes.”
That’s why Asti avoids him all the more.
With what qualifications can I treat him?
If it wasn’t for Astrid, the owner of this body, it wouldn’t have existed.
She who is not her nothing, her who does not even have her name —
“Asti, look at me.”
Leopold’s hand gently grabbed Asti’s hand.
Warm warmth spreads out.
The feeling of riding your hand in an instant and the warmth circulating all over your body and warming your heart.
“… Yes.”
“I was talking about raising your eyes and looking at me.”
The pupil did not listen to the owner.
Astrid’s eyes were always on the floor, unable to meet Leopold.
I didn’t know what to say to him who approached me friendly, calling me Astira.
Not knowing what face to make, what to say, how to treat you, or maybe even how to breathe.
“Look at me.”
Finally, Leopold’s hand supported Asti’s chin.
Leopold’s face was in full view.
Leopold’s full face in that field of vision, his bright face, was looking down at Asti.
“Tell me. What are you worried about, and why are you avoiding me? Without hesitation, without hesitation. Let me tell you.”
“I never particularly avoided—”
“Even if you deceive others, you cannot deceive me. There’s no way I don’t know my fiancée. It’s okay to be honest, so let’s talk.”
Leopold was looking straight at her.
She was looking at Asti, not someone who dwelled on Astrid.
“Is it because I can’t remember the name?”
“Is it because I don’t remember who you are?”
“Is it because I don’t know what you are?”
Leopold’s words poured like a waterfall.
It was Asti who was taken aback.
She just assumed she wasn’t particularly interested in her.
A bonus, or supplement, or bonus that comes with Astrid.
She thought it might be that way, but looking at all of the things she had lined up like this now, all of them were exactly the same as what Asti was thinking about.
“I also thought deeply about you. If I were you, how would I feel if I couldn’t remember anything properly, including my name? If I were in that position… ”
Leopold’s hand touched Asti’s cheek.
Leopold’s hand, which moved as if sliding on her white and beautiful cheeks, was delicate, and before long, his fingertips touched Asti’s lips.
“You will be anxious. That would be scary How terrifying and terrifying it would be if I had to go to a place like this without knowing who I was, in a place like this where no one properly recognized me, even my body was not mine and I had to go against my will.”
Scary.
Afraid.
That feeling was the essence.
It’s not a humorous question like who am I or is this the right place for me to be?
Asti was afraid.
It was also scary.
If this isn’t her place, if her place isn’t here, then where should she go?
If she can go, if there is a place where she can receive her.
What should I do?
“But I know you, Asti. I don’t know where you lived or what kind of life you lived. But I don’t think you need to know. Why do you think it is?”
Asti shook her head.
She said maybe she could be hurt.
I don’t know, but that means I don’t want to know.
“Even you don’t know that. There is no reason for me to know what I don’t know, and there is no reason for me to dig into it. All I know is that Asti is here right now… Woman you are You are here, you are with Astrid, and the two are one. The two of you are one person.”
Leopold’s fingers touched her ear.
Every time a gentle touch touches the ear lobe, blush blooms like a flower.
In the blush that doesn’t subside, Asti’s eyes still can’t look at Leopold.
“I know you. I remember you I know you, Asti. Don’t let me decide The place where you will be is right here in Einhafen, and the place where you will be is by my side. Astrid von Mitterien, Asti von Mitterien, and soon to be Astrid von Einthafen and Asti von Einhafen. That is you I have made it, so you will follow it.”
Trust me, Asti.
I won’t make anyone sad.
Your faith must be mine alone, and I will never betray it.
“You, stay here. Next to me.”
Asti closed her eyes tightly.
Her eyes began to sway, and she closed her eyes tightly.
Transparent tears flowed down her closed eyelids.
