The reason why Linc wanted to leave Luna here was because of heself.
If they were playing a game, then Linc was hell super difficulty mode, and Luna was medium difficulty.
Linc didn't want to let Luna follow his path and entered hell mode together.
It wouldn't be good if she kept following his on the run... Just like Raina.
He could tolerate those around him suffering, and he wouldn't say anything. But, it will be a different story with the person he loves.
Even if it's only for a moment, The time to meet them is very short, Linc already thought of Luna as his own daughter.
He didn't want her to get hurt because of him. This is the most optimistic option.
"When you're alone, find a safe place and make sure to keep the clothes you're wearing dry."
"...."
"A lot of food is available in the market shop building. But don't eat strange things, just eat packaged food."
"...."
"Also, when you meet the rescue team, join in and find blossom okay? She can help you."
"... Em..."
"Listen, don't cry, dad will be right back." Linc wiped the tears from Luna's face.
"[You're lying.]"
Hearing this, Luna's tears welled up even more, and she looked at Linc with a confused, teary-eyed look.
She was always confused.
She, was an innocent girl who had just half woken up from her sleep.
She doesn't understand a lot of things.
But, at this moment, she understood what she wanted not to understand.
She was scared.
Fear of losing someone important to him.
Why did the knight leave the princess alone? She does not know.
This is not in the book.
Will the princess cry like herself when left by the knight? Would her heart ache like she was feeling right now?
Why?
Why can't the tears stop falling?
... She does not know.
Luna gripped Linc's shirt tightly, unwilling to let her knight leave her.
She... Really doesn't know anything.
Tried to pull Luna's hand, but couldn't because Luna gripped his clothes so tightly that her fingers were pale. Linc was a little flustered, and he added a bit of strength.
Luna gripped Linc's clothes tighter.
"Don't leave Luna... Luna will be a good girl... I beg you."
Seeing Luna sobbing and gripping his clothes tighter and tighter. Linc thought for a while, and he hugged Luna warmly.
A sense of security, and a strange feeling, something she had never felt before, instantly arise from the depth of her heart.
Luna was getting sleepy.
"... No..."
I don't want to sleep!
No! Not now!
Trying to hold back her sleep with all her might. Luna's body went limp, and she fell into Linc's arms helplessly.
A drop of tear fell to the ground.

"No, no! Please wake up Luna! Luna wants to wake up now!"
"Please, calm down!"
Held back, and embraced their sobbing little sister. Luna's movements slowed, and she hugged her older sister with tears in her eyes.
"He going to leave me..."
"Luna doesn't want it..."
"Do't go..."
Seeing their little sister look very sad. No.323 rubbed her back, and she felt even more guilty.
"It's okay, let him go for a while, he will definitely come back."
"...He lied... Why, why did he want to leave Luna? Did Luna make him angry?"
Wiping away the tears that were on their little sister's face. She asked:
"Do you like it?"
"Luna doesn't know..."
"It must be love!"
Raised her head and looked at her older sister in confusion. She smiled, and explained it:
"For love to last, it needs both parties to share each other's needs. Have you done it?"
Recalling the behavior that she had been doing and remembering the Devil who had guarded him sincerely. Luna suddenly realized something.
She didn't do anything.
This made Luna herself a little confused.
"B-But, he's Luna's father! He said that he would always protect Luna no matter what!"
"Luna..."
Continuing to talk about defending herself. Luna's voice was getting smaller every second, and she rubbed her reddened eyes again.
"Luna... Totally useless... Luna... .can't give his anything... Luna... Stupid..." Her voice was getting smaller, holding back the sadness, and tears that would soon fall from her eyes again.
Seeing that their little sister started to blame herself. No.323 hugged him, followed by another "Luna".
They all hugged each other, to share with each other the sadness that Luna felt right now.
"It's okay... Everything has a process of stages. Isn't this great? Luna can now build a new relationship with someone. How about Anton? That guy with glasses is actually quite a nice person even though he's a bit of a coward."
"No... Luna wants daddy." She shook her head weakly.
"Luna just wants dad..." Her lips trembled, but she tried to hold it in as hard as she could.
Her voice was small and pitiful, like a child abandoned by her parents.
She didn't know what else to do.
"Hah...."
Sighed helplessly. No.323 looked at Luna's pitiful figure, and she sighed once again.
"Okay, big sister will help you again."
"But, please cooperate, I will control your body for a while."
Nodding her head and gripping the fingers on her hands until they were pale. Luna agreed with what her older sister said.
As long as she finds her father.
She will agree to everything.
"Let's find your knight."
"...."
Luna had a very strange feeling.
She, didn't know what kind of feeling this was.

"Bang!"
Cleaned up the corpses of a first-rate Hore beast and pulled out the arrow stuck in its eyeball. Linc saw that the path to the underground door had been cleared, and he decided to leave this place as soon as possible.
For a second-rate Hore beast, Linc could only lure him in the building furthest from the door, and lead him astray, wandering everywhere.
After all, they will go to the shelter underground. Linc had just checked. The underground door was already covered by a metal door, and it didn't even have a scratch on it when the second-tier Hore beast attacked it.
Anton was really very careful.
He could leave Luna with him in peace.
"Well, it feels a bit pathetic..."
Go in the opposite direction from where Luna and Anton are currently. Linc who was still inside the amusement park area, entered the daycare room lost, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looked around and saw no Hore beast at all. Linc pressed his back against the cold wall, and he was finally able to rest in peace.
Time to think.
