“So something like that happened.”

Enfrea sighed deeply and muttered.

Enfrea knew Enri’s parents well. They were ideal parents. He envied the two daughters they doted on.

Enfrea was orphaned from a young age and only had vague memories of his parents. Whenever wonderful parents were mentioned, Enfrea would think of Enri’s parents.

He felt anger against the ‘imperial knight imposters’ who took the lives of Enri’s parents. He thought they deserved it when he heard they were killed. He was angry at the higher-ups of E-Rantel for their unwillingness to dispatch soldiers.

But the one who should be the most angry and sad, Enri, put her own feelings aside, which felt a bit strange.

He watched as Enri recalled the past, uncertain if he should console her or not, she wiped away the tears in her eyes and smiled:

“I still have my little sister, so I can’t stay depressed like this.”

Enfrea, who had been about to get up, sat down again. He thought it was regrettable having lost his chance to console her, but he also thought himself to be really useless.

But——His feelings of wanting to protect her remained the same. After hesitating, Enfrea made up his mind. Other than himself, he wouldn’t let anyone else sit beside Enri. Even if that person was strong enough to protect Enri.

It was a bit rash, but Enfrea didn’t want to lose Enri, so he decided to express the feelings he had harbored since the first time he ever came to the village as a child.

“Well then——”

He couldn’t speak, his throat seemed to be glued shut. Say it, say it. He wanted to say it, but the words seemed to be jammed in his throat and wouldn’t come out.

Both Enri and Enfrea were at a marriageable age, and the money Enfrea made as a pharmacist was enough to take care of Enri and her sister.

It would be fine even if they had a child...

The scenery of building his own family appeared in his mind——but he stopped his imagination that was going out of control. Noticing that Enri was looking at him with a puzzled expression, Enfrea became even more anxious.

His mouth opened and shut.

I like you.

I love you.

But he couldn’t say these two sentences. Because he was scared of hearing her rejection.

He should say something that would shorten the distance between them.

The city is safer, want to live together? I will take care of your sister too. If you want to work, you can help out in Grandma’s shop.

If you feel uneasy in the city, I will do all I can do to help you.

Just saying these would be enough. The chance of being rejected would be lower than expressing his love.

“Enri!”

“Wha-What is it? Enfrea.”

Enri was surprised by his sudden shout and Enfrea started his confession:

“——If...If you have any troubles please tell me. I will do all I can to help you!”

“Thank you...! Enfrea is a great friend, better than what I deserve!”

“Ah, ah, ermm... No, don’t mention it, we’ve known each other for so long.”

Unable to say anything else to the smiling Enri, Enfrea lamented his own uselessness.
