[Resolve Under the Setting Sun]
“Phew…”
Having washed off my sweat, I parted ways with Raul and went to a certain place.
It was the school’s rooftop.
Where Tayte’s secret garden was.
We had promised to spend the time here until the afterparty started.
Incidentally, Tayte was temporarily taking a leave from Horticulture Committee’s activities.
Well, I was also a member of the Horticulture Committee, but I was given a break, courtesy of Chairman Hans. He told me to prioritize recovering after the match. Apparently, he had been watching my match with Jarvis and even moved to tears.
By the way, the reason I split ways with Raul was—well, so that he could spend some time with Eureka.
After Raul’s fierce fight with Madeline, there should be various things that they would like to talk about.
They never got to be together in the original novel, 【The Rise of the Weakest Holy Swordsman】. As a fan of the novel, I would like to support the two who lived in this what you might call an unfulfilled ‘what if’ world.
“Just like others’ opinion of me,” I muttered as I watched the sky slowly turn orange.
I was genuinely happy about the change.
Now I thought it was safe to assume that I had achieved most of my immediate goals.
The only problem left was—this world’s last boss.
The one who drove Raul and Eureka to go berserk.
At first, I was suspicious of Mr. Timmons, but… it might not be him, after all.
I couldn’t be sure until Principal Abigail and the knights’ investigation was over, but the Halmans were probably involved.
Joel, who had tried to replace his older twin sister Madeline.
I had no doubt that he was the key to cracking the Halmans.
The principal would likely focus on him as well.
“For now, all I can do is wait.”
“Wait for what?”
“Well, of course, wait for—uwah?!”
I involuntarily jumped at the voice that suddenly appeared from behind me.
“D-did I surprise you that much?”
When I turned around, I found Tayte staring at me with her head tilted.
“Nah, not really… I was talking about the Halmans.”
After I said that, Tayte muttered weakly, “I see…”
The incident involving Madeline must have been a big shock to Tayte. The Halmans were a fairly large house. The Ehrenbergs surely had a long relationship with them.
“…Tayte.”
“Y-yes.”
I suddenly had an impulse and told her, “I will always protect you no matter what.”
It was a declaration of my resolve.
In the original storyline, Tayte didn’t have a happy ending――but in this world, things were different. She wouldn’t fade into the shadows as a member of the harem.
It was the same for everyone else.
No one would be unhappy.
Everyone’s happiness had become my goal.
As I stood shoulder to shoulder with Tayte and enjoyed the view from the rooftop, the bell of the clock tower began to ring.
Usually it signaled the end of class, but today it served as an announcement that the preparations for the afterparty were done.
“Let’s get going, Barrett.”
“Yeah.”
Tayte and I began making our way to the venue.
I wanted to keep walking shoulder to shoulder with her like this going forward.
For that reason… I’d do everything I could.
I swore to myself again.
