I have realized that Kurono-kun is no good unless I am by his side.

I know that Kurono-kun is a strong, handsome, kind, wonderful man.

At the Academy, everyone speaks badly of him, but I know the true Kurono-kun. Only I know. It is fine that others dont know; in fact, it is better off that way.

But Kurono-kun is no good, after all

Sorry about this Nell, I hurt myself pretty badly...

He pushes himself incredibly hard.

You cant do that, please stop, its dangerous, please dont fight dangerous opponents like someone who possesses the Hydra familys Demon Eyes.

Thats why, I mean, because I didnt stop him, Kurono-kuns right arm is Im scared, what if it happens again?

If Kurono pushes himself again, somewhere out of my sight, somewhere my hands wont reach, then next time for sure...

I was anxious, just so anxious, thats why I couldnt separate my hands, my arms, my body, from the right arm that I healed.

Even though I finished treating him long ago, I even told the lie that he still needed more healing.

I cant bear it, this anxiousness, this fear of Kurono throwing himself into a dangerous fight again all by himself.

He will never stop fighting. Its not because hes an adventurer.

There are some guys that I need to kill, no matter what.

There is a concrete purpose that he cannot give up, though he wouldnt tell me what it was.

He definitely has determination and wont change his mind no matter what I say no matter what anyone says.

Therefore, I have come to this decision.

If Kurono-kun continues to push himself, I just have to be there to help him.

... Kurono-kun.

Were sitting on a bed in the Grand Coliseums infirmary, with our bodies close together.

If I want to say it, theres no other time to say it but now.

You know, I

I will become your partner, Kurono-kun.

Not your party member, but your partner. That is what pairs of adventurers who work together call each other.

It seems you belong to a party known as theElement Masters, but party members who would abandon Kurono-kun to conduct their own activities do not amount to much.

Im sure they only trust each other as much as a temporary party, anyway.

Thats why Ill become your partner.

Ill quit Wing Road.

I dont have any regrets. That is not where I belong; it is merely somewhere I was allowed to be.

Onii-sama protected me; Sharl was worried for me; Kai-san and Safi-san took care of me.

Thats why Ill be fine now.

From now on, Ill fight for the person that truly needs me.

Ill devote myself to Kurono-kun.

Im Kurono-kuns number one.
