“What’s this?

“It will help you resist the Cursed Series. Still, it won’t keep you safe completely… Don’t use the Shield if you can avoid it.”

“I’ll do what I can, but you shouldn’t hold your breath. About this or about making up with the other Heroes.”

“Please…”

Fitoria flashed the most sincere smile I’d seen yet as she walked over and leaned against me.

“You’re heavy. Get off.”

But Fitoria showed no signs of moving.

“…”

She kept leaning against me in silence.

What was she doing? She looked like a little kid about to burst into tears.

Why? It was my first thought. Why? What did she want?

Then I thought of reasons. She’d said that a hero had raised her.

Where was that hero now? He’d either gone back to his own world, or he’d died a long time ago.

Did she think I was like her new parent now? Did she see her old hero in me?

There was nothing I could do about it.

I ran my hand over her head. When I did, she buried her head against my shoulder and hugged me.

It seemed like the only reason she had to live was the promise she’d made to the hero in the past. Was that all she had?

She’d promised to protect the world. How many years had it been?

Thinking on how long she’d worked for the world, I felt like the least I could do was accept her request.

In all her years, how many people had she met and worked with? In THIS world? She must have fallen into disappointment and desperation many times. Was that why she didn’t trust anyone but the heroes?

She was a rather clumsy girl. She seemed to be very powerful, but that was probably because she was trying so hard.

When a little girl asks you to do something, it’s hard to say no.

I’d do what I could.

Eventually Fitoria’s breath became deeper, and I realized she’d fallen asleep against my shoulder. Her snores sounded just like Filo’s.

Someday, after I’d gone, would Filo lean on another hero’s shoulder and fall asleep? As I thought about it, my eyelids grew heavy, and soon I was asleep too.
