I want to become strong. No, I must become strong.

To become a me who possesses the strength to be touched by her.

I let my pillow soak up my tears, cried until I was exhausted, and at some point, it seems I fell asleep.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... are you awake...?"
Coai was awakened by the sound of someone knocking on the door from outside her room.

"If you are awake, there is something I wish to bring to your attention."
That polite way of speaking and that hoarse voice... it must be the old man, Sody.
Right, I should talk to him too...

"I also have something I want to ask you."
Maybe I should try asking Sody.
Coai got up and opened the bedroom door.

"Good morning. Well then, let us hear what Your Majesty has to say first."

"Do you know of any way to train one's endurance?"
Coai tried asking, just as she had yesterday.

"Endurance... whose, may I ask?"
The answer that came back was a little different.

"Mine. A way to endure being touched by someone, I suppose..."
But this time too... she couldn't clearly explain the details or the purpose of her question.
