Anti-Government Forces

Tuesday, November 15

Koutarou threw the ball at full force until he was exhausted. Kenji had accompanied him until the end. And once Koutarou was lying down on the ground, he told him, “Good work, see ya,” and left. Kenji hadn’t said anything unnecessary, and Koutarou was grateful for it.

“I’m no match for him...”

Koutarou looked up at the sky. It was a beautiful clear blue sky, with a small cloud drifting across it. Exhausted, he stared at the cloud and sighed. Ever since Ralgwin had been taken away, it was all that had been on Koutarou’s mind. Even when he went to bed, he struggled to sleep well.

But it was different now. Thanks to Kenji, he was able to clear his head, although at the moment, he was so tired that even thinking was an effort.

“It wouldn’t hurt for a little while...” he murmured, gradually growing sleepier. Since he’d been sleeping so poorly, his eyelids felt heavy, and he had no reason to resist their pull. Leaving himself to the sky and the breeze, Koutarou fell asleep.

He didn’t know when, but at some point, something warm had enveloped him. Past the warmth, he could hear a faint sound, it had a rhythmic beat like that of a drum or a clock. He didn’t know what the sound was, but neither it nor the warmth were unpleasant. If anything, he wanted to entrust himself to them forever.

But something interrupted him—the sound of metal clanging against metal. It wasn’t unpleasant either; rather, it had a clear and beautiful tone. When he realized it was the sound of a bell, Koutarou’s consciousness rapidly rose back to the surface.

He moaned as bright light flooded in when he opened his eyes slightly. After blinking a few times, he adapted to the light and opened his eyes properly. As he did, he saw that the beautiful sky was still above him, but it had turned to orange. Time had passed, and the sun was starting to set. When he looked away, Koutarou realized that someone was looking down at him.

“Are you awake, Layous-sama?”

It was a calm and kind voice. Golden hair brushed his cheek, and slender fingers stroked his chest. His first thought was of an energetic girl, but he quickly realized it was someone else.

“Elle?” he asked.

Elfaria Dana Forthorthe. She was the ruler of this galaxy, the Empress of the Holy Forthorthe Galactic Empire. But right now, her eyes were fully focused on Koutarou, as if everything in the galaxy were before her.

“Yes.”

“So it was you...”

She was letting Koutarou rest on her lap. The warmth he had felt was hers. And the sound was her pulse.

“Huh?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

“What a strange one you are, Layous-sama,” she answered with a laugh.

The busy Empress was going out of her way to spend her time tending to him, so he must have made her worry quite a bit.

“Sorry for showing you this pathetic sight,” he apologized. Now that it had come to it, he could only give Elfaria an earnest apology.
