But, she wasn’t afraid. Because victory had already been decided.

“Hey…”

Tia opened her mouth.

“…Are you in love?”

Monika’s body froze up fully. As if time had stopped, she didn’t move an inch.

“………Hey.” A feeble voice came out of her mouth. “Did you just—”

That confusion and flustered reaction had Tia let out a giggle. She finally made it, to the girl’s heart: And found what she had been trying so hard to hide.

“For crying out loud, there were so many hints. Romance novels? No, not that.” Remembering Monika’s act, Tia shook her head. “You were hiding it very thoroughly. You kept this love of yours a secret, so that nobody would find out. Why? That’s obvious. Because the person you have these feelings for is awfully close-by.”

Tia succeeded in keeping eye contact with Monika for three seconds. There, she saw an emotion she would have never expected from Monika, a secret hope. At the same time, Monika’s face was riddled with the color of despair.

“You finally showed me a human emotion. I personally prefer that expression of yours much more.”

Monika glared at Tia, yet waiting for her following words all the same.

“You are in love with someone from [Tomoshibi], right?”

Monika faintly muttered.

“I’ll kill you…” It sounded like a curse.

But, Tia was afraid no longer.

“You can’t. Because that would make the person sad, right?”

Monika’s words were nothing more but a strategy. She actually had no desire to kill Tia whatsoever. There was no need to win Monika over in the first place.

“The motive behind wanting to eliminate Matilda-san—was to protect [Tomoshibi], the place where your loved one belongs to. Ignoring that would mean that [Tomoshibi] has supported a spy of the Empire.”

That’s why Monika was so obsessed with handing over Matilda. Tia thought Monika was merely giving an objective view. But, that wasn’t it. She always prioritized a single member of the team. To maintain the current [Tomoshibi], she gave a logical conclusion.

“What a wholehearted love,” Tia nodded.

Immediately after Tia spoke those words, Monika leaped at her. She was grabbed by the neck, her voice forcefully sealed off. With even stronger force than before, Monika squeezed down on Tia’s throat.

“Do not…” Her voice was sharp as a blade. “Raid my heart even more than that.”

“…Yes, I won’t.” Tia agreed, when the force around her neck softened.

The girl was hiding her love, and Tia wanted to respect that.

“That’s why, work together with me.” Tia spoke up.

“…!”

“I respect your feelings. That’s why I want you to consider mine.” She continued. “What kind of choice does your loved one wish for, I wonder? Would they really agree if you were to just throw away Matilda-san?”

“………………” Monika kept silent.

She removed her hand from Tia’s neck, and stood still in silence. If she were to decline even now, Tia would be forced to threaten her. Or, she would get killed by the enraged Monika. In that case, she would be plagued with the guilt of killing a team member, and her love would not be granted. Their positions were equal now.
