Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

627 Wang Du, Past And Part 1

In the hall, a loud noise echoed.

It's a sigh, not a single whisper. There, I feel like I heard it loud at first.

The sound of turning the paperwork stopped completely for a moment, but that was really a moment.

Until then, the reaction that we all showed was to turn a gaze.

As soon as the gaze is returned to hand, the sound of turning the documents again continues.

Even though the sigh would be exhaled again shortly afterwards, this time no one would even show a reaction.

"Hey, your king let me sigh on this sight? Can someone at least ask me what's going on?

You cut the paralysis, the words are finally uttered directly... and the sighs are exhaled, as if you had no choice.

Some of the sound of turning the documents stopped, and instead, Sophia pointed her gaze at you.

"... I'll ask you once, what can I do for you? As you can see, we're very busy, right?

"No, I mean, I'm busy, too, but I was wondering if it's time to take a break."

To that word, Sylvia did snort because somehow she had already gone around noon.

Considering the time to have lunch, it is about late.

I've been working all morning, and I guess it's time to get some rest.

And was it on my face thinking about that?

When Alexis turned his gaze over here, he grinned.

"Look, it looks like it's time for Sylvia to get tired, huh?

"... Sylvia is only helping me out in good faith, so I should always be able to take a break though?

"That being said, isn't it hard to rest just one person after all? So, look, we need to get you some rest, okay?

Obviously I was used by Dashi, but he was actually right, so I take my gaze off more while I'm sorry.

Once again, a sigh that seemed powerless was thrown out of Sophia's mouth.

"... I get it. Shall we take a break for lunch? Is that okay with you, too?

"... well, you won't have a choice. It's better than continuing to be more depressing."

"Depressing, isn't it terrible?

"It would be true. You're not good at these things in the first place. What do you mean, you give them roots before me?

"That's just what I think... you see, I'm just an important document. You're gonna get a lot of hard work for that."

I guess that's not true.

In fact, it is true, and only slightly on its face is the colour of fatigue visible.

Does Klaus understand that too, he exhaled without going on with the words any further.

"Absolutely, I can tell you that now that I'm fine, Alexis has gained a lot of weight."

"No, 'cause I have to get fat to do it. I mean, I still feel the same way about what I do..."

"... naturally because you are a king, and you chose that path with your knowledge, too?

"Well, that's true."

Sylvia looked slightly unexpectedly at Alexis, who slammed to her desk all the way as she said it.

At least because I've never seen my father like that before.

"... it's not over yet, it's just to make it lunch, so hold on. Sylvia, you're looking at me like I'm scared, right?

"What? Yes, what, not so frightened..."

"No, Sylvia's not even a kid anymore, and I think it's time. This is enough to help us, and if you look sorry for us in the first place, you've shown it before."

That pitiful appearance must have been when the Demon King attacked.

It's nothing, Sylvia doesn't think so, but Alexis seems to have been pretty nasty with that one.

I'm not trying to admit how hard I said it.

"That's why you wouldn't mind showing your daughter such pity"

I kinda agreed with you on that.

At least it's pitiful what Alexis looks like right now, and I'd rather you didn't show me that if you could.

"Besides, you're asking me to come today in the form of Olivia's surrogate, right? So I was wondering if it was better."

"... don't treat your wife and daughter the same way. That would be rude to both sides, wouldn't it?

"Uh, is that right? Sometimes, don't you think? I'm starting to look a lot like you... Oh, I'm sorry, you don't seem to think so."

"... what does that mean?

A staring gaze from Sophia was directed at Alexis… Shortly after, they erupted almost simultaneously.

Klaus laughs out as well as he is stuck, and Sylvia rounds her eyes again.

The same goes for what my father said and did, because I feel like I've never seen Klaus laugh like that before.

Though I was listening, they do seem to be close to these three.

"Look, Sylvia's stunned again, right?

"No, I'm sorry, Sylvia. When I was with these two, I remembered the old days."

"... don't blame people. I guess it's just a matter of restraint."

"Not good. Sometimes. I'm always restraining myself. You know, Sylvia thinks so, doesn't she?

"Huh? Huh... well, I think it would be nice to occasionally..."

"Look, both of you, my daughter says this to me, and then as a parent, don't you think I have a duty to respond to that?

"Well, we didn't find out where your majesty was gone, so you just have to like it... you really got fat, didn't you?"

"I said I got fat... well, I've been wondering earlier, wasn't this what my old father used to do?

When asked so, the three of them looked at each other once and looked at each other differently.

Sophia has a frightened face, Klaus a face as if she had even laughed in remembrance, and Alexis a tormented face.

It was such a situation that I didn't even have to ask for an answer.

"Uh... sounds different"

"Right. When I first saw Alexis, I was honestly unreliable."

"Oh, really? Was that what they thought of me?

"'Cause you're a wall player, and I'm not so sure you are."

"No, he said he had no choice about that. Even I went to the Demon King Crusaders with a lot of pride, but everyone around me seems to be strong. Klaus knows what I'm talking about, right?

"... I'm sorry, but I had a similar impression when I first met you"

"Damn this, so the Seven Heavens! You brains!

"... where could it have been who was letting you help with the paperwork with that brain muscle?

"Yes, it's me here. I'm sorry."

The moment Sophia stares at me, when she says so and stands up, Sylvia erupts into the figure of Alexis, who bowed her head.

It is important that the king should not bow his head so much as he should, but I know that this space is not such a place.

But that's why I knew how close the three of them were.

"I know very well that it wasn't originally, but then how did your father become like your current father?

"Hmm... I don't know why, I'm having a little trouble. Rather than having something clear, is it due to a stack or driven by necessity? If I had stayed that way, I would have been defeated by my allies before the Demon King."

"What, to your side, what happened!?

"Hey, could you not say something bad about people? I guess I just pushed a little trouble on you, didn't I?

"Well, that's not what we're wasting our time on, either, simply because you were the only one who could do it."

"You guys might have been, but there's a little about one person who definitely wasn't, right?

I don't know anything about him.

"Not terrible!? I bet you do!

Alexis screamed as he moaned, but his mouth is loose.

From the way it looked, I knew that I was enjoying this exchange and... most importantly, that even though I said so, I never felt bad about the other person.

And the person, maybe, Sylvia knows too.

"Father, who is he..."

"Uh, yeah, right, probably the one you think. But let's talk about this while we have lunch. If we keep this up, we're gonna get a long break."

He wasted a lot of time wanting to take a break, but he cares about things like that.

Sylvia looked with a bitter smile at how it was like a father and Alexis ringing the bell to call the samurai.
