"...You were like that back then."

A whisper is trapped in my ear as his face draws closer. As she looked at Eli with her head slightly tilted, she took a deep breath. The scent of lilies wafting through the air was dizzyingly strong.

"With the expression that it's not that big, it saves me very casually."

He still has eyes I can't read, but in the meantime, there's an emotion I know. Sometimes seen in demons, the most brutal instinct.

Whim. It was a wish for me.

"People think that I am a Pope who worships the sun god, but do you know that you are really my god?"

It is blasphemy. The sound of blasphemy beyond imagination to be from the mouth of the Pope. But for that it was so much more exhilarating.

Eli's eyes are finely folded. It was a joyous laugh on the outside, but I couldn't shake the feeling that she seemed to be laughing to hide on the inside. I gasped as she looked into his eyes, red with desire.

"...You shouldn't turn people into a god. It's dangerous."

"I know it too."

Eli, holding my hand lightly and leaning her torso, put her mouth on the back of my hand.

"Oh."

I spit out a small sound. The wrinkled, scarred skin was sucked in and out of the soft red lips for a while with a cold, wet sound.

There was a red mark on the back of the hand, as if a flower was spreading. Since she was a bit silly, Eli smiled when she looked at me.

"But because it's dangerous, it doesn't mean I can back down."

The feeling of a strange whisper piercing my ears was eerie. I hesitated for a while with my head down, and then I saw it.

When I met Eli's silver eyes, I felt like I had met a wild beast in a helpless state.

"...Have you been in contact with the Atara delegation?"

How the look came and went. Eli, who backed away slowly, giving me a deep look, changed the subject a little unnaturally. He was trying to say something else. He expressed an opinion that he wanted to distract. I just followed it.

"I saw them from a distance. I didn't have time to build a relationship."

"But I think there is one person you have met."

'I do...I don't. Delegation and the king of the country...'

I nodded, remembering Leo's face. Eli's eyes cooled for an instant and then she found her usual light again.

"Did that kid stick to Shushu?"

"Uh... Instead of sticking together, he's just a friend."

When I responded with a shaky response, Eli's expression turned quite subtle. It was a strange face mixed with disbelief, lack of laughter, and sympathy.

"There is a guy who will bring the kingdom as a gift, and he is a friend..."

He mumbled a bit.

Of course, Leo is close to me, but he is not crazy enough to give me the kingdom.

"Hmm, does Eli know Leo?"

"...Leo? Are you talking about a fierce looking kid with those grassy eyes?"

"Grass-colored eyes...seems to fit."

The god of beauty must have cried at the sight of Eli, who immediately shaved off Leo's handsome appearance, and a smile almost appeared, but I bit my lip and held back.
