It’s fine if she died, but the people around her shouldn’t have been dragged in as well.
That’s how Diere things, and that’s why she’s so uneasy.
Vivian must have noticed that unease of hers, which is why she’s currently trying to comfort Diere, right?
(That person. She’s as kind and sharp as always…)
Diere could only chuckle bitterly to herself in her mind as she made to speak again.
“If it’s necessary, you guys can leave me and escape on your own.”
This way, those people who hate her probably won’t still keep on going after Vivian and the others, right?
Unfortunately for her…
“You think that I’d accept that?”
The gentle expression on Vivian’s face vanished for the first time as she focused her stare on Diere.
Diere was kind of afraid to meet Vivian’s when she’s like this.
It’s because she’s afraid that Vivian might be disappointed in her.
Diere has very few people left in this world who she cares about the opinions of, and Vivian is one of those few.
That person had protected Diere from the hostility of the world for so many years now, so she’s the person that Diere trust and depend on the most.
For that reason, it’s only when facing Vivian that Diere is unable to raise her head.
Only…
“I really don’t want to see you guys die because of me though.”
Diere couldn’t help but speak her true thoughts.
In response to that, Vivian only had one thing to say.
“I don’t want to see you die before us either.” Vivian continued to stare at Diere with a smile, “Therefore, I will absolutely protect you and everyone else. Then, we’ll leave this place with everyone in our party, safe and sound, and return to Capital.”
With was both an oath and her own determination.
“Believe in me.”
Vivian stated that to Diere.
The most unbelievable thing is though, just those few words actually managed to settle Diere’s uneasy and made her relax.
It can’t be helped. Since the Protector God of the Kingdom had made such an oath, she’ll definitely do it.
Besides…
“I can feel it. So long as we can keep holding out, then that person will definitely arrive before us.”
Vivian’s quiet words made Diere react.
She knew exactly who Vivian meant with that.
It’s the Hero who carried with him great expectations of the world, and also the one whom she had placed her own hopes and wishes on.
“Will he really come?”
Diere unconsciously muttered those words.
“He will.”
Vivian grinned, nodded, and spoke loudly with confidence.
“He’ll definitely come.”
Perhaps that’s just a wish without anything backing it up.
However, Vivian seems to be strangely certain of it.
Those confident words made even Diere feel a thread of hope.
If it’s that person, then he’ll definite be able to help her and her friends out of this bind.
It didn’t really matter what happens to her, but Vivian and the others mustn’t die here.
Thus, Diere also made her decision.
“Until he gets here, we have to hold on no matter what.”
Even if it means using “that move.”
