“….” The boy looked over to the side to avoid that question, laughing weakly. “Umm.. mayyyyybe?” Like fainting after hours and hours of training that four elaines had to heal him count? “But!…” Aichi looked over to Rion. “I have to get stronger!… as quickly as possible and try to make allies..”
Rion knew that laugh. “Aichi, we’ve been through this. Don’t push yourself too hard, alright?” He reached over and brushed the boy’s hair back from his face, and then tugged at an ear.
“Work yourself too hard again and you’ll have to listen to me nag at you while you rest in bed, and I don’t think you want to do that.”
Aichi stared up at Rion, blue eyes trying to figure out what was Rion going to do—- “OW OW OW OW OW!!” He winced and sulked. “I need to be stronger though! Don’t do that!”
The knight let go of the boy’s ear and crossed his arms. “Aichi, you can’t get stronger if you work yourself to death just about every time you train. How are you going to help anyone if you’re stuck in your bed because you worked too hard the day before?”
Rion cared deeply for the boy, possessing the love of a brother and a vassal all rolled into one blue-haired package. It made him unhappy to see Aichi working himself so hard, and for what?
“Don’t forget that we’re all here to support you. You don’t have to carry this burden alone.”
“….”
In a stubborn manner, Aichi only looked away and huffed. Again… this treatment.. from Kai, Rion, Misaki..
“But this my burden to carry!… Nobody seems to understand! I… I can support myself you dumbass!”
Standing up, he grabbed his blade and Aichi promptly turned away.
“… I’m not weak!… I need to be stronger though!.. So stop treating me like a kid back then… Kai could handle a war on his own when he was younger than me right now.. To think everyone keeps sheltering me…
ENOUGH OF IT!”
