After the meeting park, the three settle down on the cafe terrace and order drinks from each of them.

"Um... Sorry, it's my outing, but it's kind of a dark vibe because of me..."

"The run isn't bad. Right, Lino?"

"Of course I do. I'm not talking about who's fault. If Lan decides, I want to respect it."

"What I have decided..."

Really, is that a decision you made yourself?

Happiness now that I've gotten out of my slave-like life and grabbed it.

The choice to let go of it is unlikely for Run.

I answered yes, I just couldn't turn down Burnd's wish and he just flushed it.

"I think it's a fine decision, you can be proud."

"Lino is right. I think if I were Run, I'd say no to anything."

"Is that it? Don't you admire princesses?

"Even the Royal Palace is the same as a prison, such as being separated from Lino"

"Well, that's it... Uh, thanks?

"I don't need to thank you. If you really want me to, Lino, I want my whole life."

"How can I help you, it"

Ariez's words, which came out of the conversation between the two of them, stab Run in the chest.

If you're going to be separated from Lino, even in one of the brilliant Royal Palaces, what's the difference from that mansion dungeon?

The adventurer must also quit, he can no longer venture with Lino.

"Ugh, higu... Ugh..."

When I realized it, I was overflowing with tears without knowing.

I can't see tears in the iron mask from the Linos, but it's obvious she's crying.

"Lan...... All right!"

Rino, who made a rattling noise and rose from his chair.

Looking at the royal castle that soars to the north, she declares.

"Me, I'm going to the royal palace now!

"Go and what are you going to do?

"I'll hang up so Lan can live the way he's always lived. Lan, all of a sudden you asked me to do that, and I just couldn't say no."

"... no, I will"

Run shakes his head sideways as he sifts.

Sure, Lino was right, I just couldn't say no.

But if I leave everything to Lino here to escape, I'm sure I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

"I'm fine... I just lost track of it, I can't believe it's hard...!

I also feel that something is different about living in dependence on Lino like this.

So.

"I made up my mind. I decided to go to the royal palace."

In the end, Ariez's "Plan to Be Lovers with Run and the Three of Us" was not executed that day.

While somewhere heavily aired, the three of them made their way home early.

Run won't remove the iron mask when he gets home.

If Lino sees the look on his face, he's sure to spot his true intentions.

Because of that thought, I can't show my face.

"Ha..."

Sitting in the living room chair, Lan sighs.

"Sigh, I knew you regretted it?

Ariez sat down next to it.

She removed Run's iron mask without any concern and let her face dew.

"I have no regrets. Because if you run away from Dragon Man's blood and you run away from another blood, you will regret it more..."

"Yes. But I'm worried. Lan, can you really live away from Lino? If I stay like this, I'll be alone about Lino, okay?

"I can't give up on that... That's a lot of confidence, Mr. Ariez. Ha-ha-ha. Haven't you thought about the possibility of being shaken?"

"Naturally. Lino can't shake me"

Run laughs at his unsubstantiated confidence, envying him at the same time.

Ariez's confidence, the strength to back it up.

Because it's something I don't have either.

"It's already funny, Mr. Ariez"

"I finally laughed. Run is so cute when he's laughing."

"Huh!? Oh, ahhh..."

I turn from a smile, my face turns bright red and I lean down.

"Well, what would you do if Mr. Lino asked me about this in the first place......!

A run that looks around with a chill as you lower the tone of your voice.

But I can't see Lino anywhere.

"Oh, that...? Mr. Lino, where..."

"Lino went shopping earlier. I knew I didn't notice."

Removing the iron mask did not mutate into a dragon man, because Lino is nearby.

That's what I assumed, Run, but now there's only Ariez in this house.

"I'm okay without Mr. Lino...?

"I thought it was because I thought there was Lino, but now the run remains a cute run. Nothing's changed."

"So cute or something, already!... but, you know, I was fine before Mr. Ariez."

It's not like love feelings for Lino.

What I'm pointing at Alice is an emotion that admires my sister.

Was her presence also large enough to attain the same tranquillity as her mother's?

"... I think that's what doesn't mutate right now. But you didn't, did you?

As I stroke Sarah's blonde hair, telling her sister.

"The Iron Mask of the Run does not have magic to seal the Dragon Man's blood. That's no philosophy whatsoever, just an iron mask. So this is all a matter of how Run feels."

Gently with pale eyes, staring.

"If Lan cares, he'll be able to control the power of the Dragon Man."

"Right. I really do. Because I feel weak, I can't control it. My mind is not strong enough to contain the dragon."

"... so I suggest. So that the royal palace life of the runs to come can be spent without an iron mask"

Those gentle eyes suddenly taunted me.

While I have a bad feeling.

"What are you suggesting?"

And I'll just ask.

"I'll allow you to run out specially"

▽ ▽

Bedtime.

Lino, as usual, waits for a run to sleep in his bed with him.

Sleeping with her this way is two more times, including today.

When I thought so, I even felt lonely like I had a hole in my heart.

"... and excuse me"

Run, who came in with an iron mask, is kind of a nervous face.

I'm also surprised that you've been exposed to your face since the beginning, but why are you nervous when you just go to bed?

"There you are. I've kept the futon warm, come here"

Turn the futon and pound next to yourself.

Usually after this, Lan falls asleep next to Lino.

"Well, before you do, today, I have something important to tell you."

"Talk... Yeah, let me hear it."

Lino also sits upright on the bed listening thoroughly to a run cut out with a serious look.

"I am now without an iron mask, even before Mr. Ariez."

"Really!? Good, you've made great progress."

"What is it, but I'm sure you can't do it in front of someone else. I can't keep living in the Royal Palace wearing an iron mask..."

"Oh, that's a challenge."

I've never even heard of a princess who keeps wearing an iron mask.

I wish Lan had set a precedent, but a pompous princess wouldn't be able to do it on her own in a tight royal palace.

"But this is a matter of my feelings. In the end, if my heart is strong, I don't need an iron mask. So --"

Flying into Lino's chest, Run turns his moist eyes and begs (cancer).

"Have courage with me…"
