I hope I'm not putting too much on you, Gyousou says, and briefly Inigo wonders if this is the right moment to tell Gyousou that the king puts a lot on him just by sheer virtue of being himself. Just because of Inigo's sheer inability to not want to somehow try and impress everything Gyousou is. A king through and through.

But rather than admitting to that, he just shakes his head with a small smile, hoping that his fondness for Taiki is the strongest emotion flowing through their bond right now, considering he is very much feeling that at the moment.

"I'm already happy if there's even been a little that I was able to do for him."

Because Naga needs that Taiki can use every single scrap of love and confidence that's thrown his way, the poor thing.

"I only wish there was a better way to convince him that he's fine exactly the way he is. That he doesn't need to put all this pressure on himself."
