Before Kazuya could say anything, a man with spiky blonde hair approached them. Kazuya was about to cover Lyn with his cloak, but Lyn shook her head. "I"m sorry for rus.h.i.+ng off. Is my brother looking for me, Himuro?" she asked.The Himuro guy nodded. "I told him you went to the bathroom, so just go back now," his gaze scanned his. "There will be a chance for you two to meet later on. Since Lord Zepher will be very busy."
Lyn nodded, "Okay," she turned to him and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. "I"ll be going, Kazuya."
Is she going to leave? Only a few minutes have pa.s.sed since he last saw her again. Even if that guy said, he could meet with her later. When is later? Unease and fear crept upon him. He can"t let her go.
Kazuya wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. "Don"t go, Lyn, don"t leave me alone."
"Himuro, can you leave for a moment?"
"Alright, please be quick."
Lyn nodded, and with those words said, the blonde-haired man left. Lyn wrapped her arms around his neck and brought her lips to his. Their foreheads brushed against each others, "Kazuya, don"t worry. I"ll make sure we can see each other later and spend time together. Brother is very busy with work these days. He is so absorbed that he doesn"t speak with me much. That"s why he didn"t want to bring me along initially. It was only because I convinced him. If I tell him I want to rest early, he won"t force me to stay with him. Then we can meet each other, okay?"
"Will you be careful? I don"t trust him."
The girl nodded, "I will."
After much reluctance, Kazuya allows the girl to leave. He genuinely didn"t want her to go, but if he stopped her anymore, it would be bad. That guy would surely come here and find them. It would be worse then.
It doesn"t seem like that guy has touched her. But it feels like as each day pa.s.ses by, that danger increases. He has to get Lyn back.
...
"How did meeting with Lyn go?"
Kazuya sighed at Rhys sarcastic sounding mark. "I don"t want to hear anything regarding Lyn from you."
Rhys sighed, "Why was she so mad anyway? I don"t get her."
He looked at his friend, surprised. Is this guy serious? He doesn"t know why Lyn is mad at him? How can he not? It"s obvious what is wrong, right? Kazuya said nothing else on the subject and laid down on the couch. Until he meets with Lyn, he doesn"t have anything else to do.
"By the way, the guy that has been hiding from you wants to talk to you."

"Yeah, he left a message. You should get to it when you come back."
Rhys continues, "He told me recently about a conversation he had with Lyn... "
Kazuya looked up, unconsciously whenever it came to her. He would always react this way.
"Besides, whether it be macro or micro scale. There will always be hate, conflict. These negative emotions will exist, no matter what. It"s upsetting for things to be like this. Why do people purposely hurt each other? Why do they deliberately cause harm, whether it is physically or emotionally? Despite all the improvements the Empire has made, people still hate, they fear.
But I still love this world despite it"s faults. I have faith that the world will continue to evolve. It might not be fast, but I believe we will continue to improve.."
The words Rhys just said were words he already heard from Lyn before.
"That girl already came to her own conclusion then, no matter what happens, she will always see the beauty in this world. You know that sort of reckless way of thinking reminds me of someone."
"Are you saying it"s because of me?" Kazuya didn"t have to ask that question. He knew it was because of him; Lyn wouldn"t be so reckless if it weren"t for hIm.
"Honestly, before she met you, the demon princess t.i.tle wasn"t just for show. No matter how many times she got ambushed by people, the one who would come out victorious is her. Kazuya, I wonder if you realized it. The reason why she smiles so much now, it"s because of you. Sure others contributed to bringing out her expressions more, and I won"t deny that the two of them have a connection. But it is because of you," Rhys explained.
It pained Kazuya to admit that he"s never been able to do anything to help her remotely. He doesn"t want to admit it, that none of his actions have ever contributed to helping her. However, he isn"t a fool; he can tell when she started changing and who brought her smile.
"Is this a low key lecture?"
Rhys nodded, "Yeah. I didn"t want to intervene. But. . . ."
"I get it. Since I came back all I"ve been doing is s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g up, it"s only natural for even the quiet ones to come out and lecture me." he trails off, "Rhys, you know how that person broke the seal right?"
"Did she talk to you about it?"
He shook his head.
"So, I asked her earlier before she left."
"Lyn told me this," I love you. I love everything about you, and I always have. I remember everything now. From the very start, I"ve always loved you". From that, I figured she remembered everything."
A knowing "ah" escaped his lips.
"Even now, I"m surprised."
But to think she said those words so directly like that. As expected, Lyn has changed a lot. The person he had gotten to know back then would never have been able to admit such things to herself, let alone directly to the person.
Rhys sighed, "Are you telling me this to show off?"
"Like h.e.l.l."
He isn"t the kind of person to deliberately display his affections in front of another person.
