113 One Question.

"There you go. There's no problem, Your Highness."

The next morning, Shearling came to the castle from an early hour. Apparently Emmeh, the disciple, did not appear to have come out of the futon and left it there.

"Thank you, Mr. Shearling. More importantly, no problem."

As soon as I could, Shearling offered to see the sword. Actually, I told her Ain was leaving, but Shearton said she was going shopping, so she invited her to the castle if it was a corner.

We had a light breakfast and then checked with the training center about Ain. There are no people at this hour's training center, and there are only two of them, Ain and Sheaton.

"Well, I forgot to tell you one thing. Perhaps this sword, too, is capable."

"Shit, it's a shame...?

"Approaching the human bone may glow"

"... why do you glow? No, I really don't want to."

Shearton starts laughing when he hears Ain's reply, and after a glimmer of laughter he mouths the reply.

"High quality undead material, that kind of weapon can be raised. Uh, but it's not such a dangerous ability to call in people, it's just that they sometimes react to bones and glow. It's just really glowing... it's smaller too"

"Does that make sense...?

"Sa 'a. You know if people are buried or not?

"... that doesn't mean you're not boned, does it?

"That's right. It doesn't make sense to live. So if you want to find a body, why don't you?

I don't know if I have a chance to look for human bones, but let's just think about their usefulness. Because of its ability... it's a feature, so I'd be a little happy to use it somewhere.

"I don't know about the old aristocrats, I enjoyed getting close to the bones of the tortured opponents. I need to talk to you about that. Others stabbed at their dying enemies and watched until they glowed - I guess."

"That seems irrelevant, so don't hesitate."

There are quite a few violent stories about the old stories that blacksmiths know. It's been quite a drastic story this time.

"Dear Ein! It's time to leave or you'll be late!

I can hear Chris from outside the training center. More time had passed than Ein thought, and the time was slowly approaching to leave for school.

"Oops. The escort's calling, then go, Your Highness. I'll be with you on the way."

"Right, so it's time to go?... Thank you for taking the time to start in the morning"

"Ha-ha-ha! Oh, my God!

That's how Ain went back to his room, put down his sword, and left for school with Chris and Shearton. Shearling breaks up in front of White Rose and goes towards buying out food.... This is how Ain's routine began today.

Arriving at the school, Ain still came to joint classes today. Like the other day, he enjoyed his usual face-to-face lunch and breaks after receiving lectures on the contents about the first king of Ishtarika.

And the break is almost over... that's when he took another trip to this classroom.

"... this time I have been very disrespectful to His Royal Highness the King. I apologize for that."

Graf's work was so fast. I guess I communicated everything in the course of yesterday and this Roddy was also informed of its contents.

As for Ain, I thought it would stick more, so I can say I clapped it out a little.

"Okay. You're going to apologize soon, and I'm going to water yesterday."

I say it a little great, but I can't help it because I can't even behave in a nasty way. Leonard was dissatisfied with what he did abruptly today, but he didn't bother to say anything to water it there. Bats and Loran are not interested, but they're enjoying another conversation.

"Thank you for your generous words..."

If the place was a place, or Ein's character was different, it could have been possible for this Roddy's neck to be dropped. Roddy's father told Roddy about it strongly. And the chairman's graph gave him a lot of attention, so he was severely breaking Roddy's case in those respects.

After bowing his head, Roddy left Ain's classroom to escape.

The bats open their mouths watching only how it went.

"Hmm? Is he home already?"

"I'm done talking to you, and I have nothing to do with it."

"Oh well. No, I heard good things at the training ground, you want to know, Ain't that right?

A bat with a niggered grin and tells that. Ain't interested as a matter of course because it's unusual for him to say that.

"I want to know. I want to know. What have you heard?"

"Right?... Actually, that Roddy is a guy, and they say he has the best sword arm."

"Heh... who told me?

"I caught the right fifth grade and asked. I don't remember your name or your face."

I laugh bitterly at sources that are too appropriate, but it was certainly good information. I don't think I have anything more to talk to Roddy about, but those stories are surprisingly interesting.

"Bye. Bye! Which is stronger, for example, the Bats?

Loran, who was listening to the two conversations, has one question. The Bats are also top notch when it comes to swords, then I can't help wondering which one is stronger.

"Ah? That's you, Loran... you'll see if you have to try"

"Oh, that? The usual bats would insist on being themselves..."

"Well, I'm not willing to lose either. But you have to see it. Thank you."

What influenced Bats' mind was the training landscape of the Kingsguard knights at the castle. A cautious and humble part is beginning to appear in the bats, who have been shown much higher levels of skill and speed than they are.

"Then Bats. How about, for example, Your Highness?

"... the guy who takes the Red Bison from the front can't possibly beat the schoolboy."

This is the only way to answer Leonard's question. By then, the shock was too great when we first met Ain.

"Well, as I said earlier, I'm not willing to lose either. I've grown quite a bit too."

That appearance, which claims to stand up and show its confidence, is reliable. The three Ains look at that bat and, as usual, zero a grin on the smiling air.

That's how I heard the classroom door open in Ain's ears enjoying the conversation.

"Come on, time for a break is over, gentlemen.... What are you doing, Bats, treat me because I know you've grown up fine"

Kyle, who was in charge, came to the same person who did not realize the end of the break. With Ain and the others in their seats by their side in a hurry, Bats speaks to Kyle with a full grin after a pocan face.

"Professor!? Am I getting big!?

"Ah, ah... it's a lot bigger than it was when I was a year old. But what's wrong with that...? Just calm down and take your seats."

There will be teachers who are liked in the senior year and scared in the lower grades.

Kyle was its typical type, and the more popular professor he became in senior year. As we also grow as students, we gradually begin to realize the love that is directed at us.

To add further information, it could have been even sweeter for Ain and Bats, as well as Leonard and Loran, who had been taking care of him for six years.

"Hey, what do you say, Lorraine? I'm flattered."

"Ugh, yeah. Good for you Bats...... why don't you sit down soon?

Hehe, laughing and watching the bat get to his seat, Kyle opens his mouth after a shuddered face.

"We don't need an ordinance, then we start a homeroom....... one thing today, ask me to complete a survey from the school"

A handful of (first) students begin to bewilder. I wondered what happened to Ain and the others as well, and waited for Kyle's next word.

"You'll suddenly wonder when it comes to surveys, but I'm glad you don't think too deeply. I'm going to ask you two questions, so I want you to answer them."

Check the faces of all the students, make room for a few breaths and Kyle opens his mouth again.

"School-city rivalry. Raise your hand honestly if you are uncomfortable with your inability to participate."

I felt the sound of my heart shaking loudly. That's not only Ain, but Leonard and Bats sitting beside him, and Loran... no, on the contrary, it seems like everyone in this class shared the same feeling.

"... of course you do"

The most hands up was the bats. As a student in a school city too, he didn't know a few things he wanted to go into a confrontation...... but he regretted not being able to leave because of the rules.

"Well, yeah, actually, me too..."

Then Loran raised his hand and began to draw everyone's attention. Then simultaneously the students' hands rose, and Leonard also raised his hands late. The last thing left was Ain, who also checks everyone's face before softly raising his hand.

"... I see. As a matter of fact, I didn't think anyone would be interested, but I appreciate your input."

Kyle took his notebook out of his white coat and started filling out his current survey results. Everyone looked at it and thought it was puzzling, what are we going to do when we hear this? Even if the system changed, we would be after graduation...... Though a moment of hope has come, it is soon filled with the same sense of emptiness as it still is.

"It would be outrageous to let hope come to an end. Show your faces and explain why you took these surveys."

Together we pay attention to Kyle and watch him strongly what he says next.

"… This year is probably two events, sometimes referred to as the first year and will require exams. Because of this, I think we will be competing for argument and swordsmanship, but we are currently conducting surveys with the same content in one (first) and two (second) sets for all grades. In this minute there will be more than a majority, then there will be a rivalry for the top two groups, although within the school."

That's what I'm done talking about, Kyle, but the classroom gets wrapped up in silence for a while. Then it was the bats who cut the tantrum, bang the desk! and stood up in a hurry, wanting to be strong.

"Professor......!? That's not a lie..."

"What do you do with lying about this? It's up to the directors, so it depends on the results of the survey… it's pretty much a decision."

Until this time, a quiet group of (first) students, with a slightly sarcastic attitude, continued to fight the excitement that sprang up in common.

"Um... does that mean a pair of confrontations?

Excited Loran asks Kyle. Kyle also answered the question honestly, as he no longer gave up.

"... oh yes it will. I've never held anything like this before."

I don't know what Kyle thinks when he talks about it, because Kyle has a mysterious part. But perhaps this event will lead to an event. I think other groups as well as our own have similar feelings. Anyway, it's a corner of school life, which is why it's natural to seek such events.

—— On the way back from school to the castle, Ein enjoyed imagining what the event would be.

A number of paperwork awaited Ein when he returned to the castle. Krone, who normally works with us, is also being chased by many jobs, so all this time he hits the job in a separate office.

It concerns administration, or petitions from the nobles. And I look at many documents, such as fisheries and agricultural yields.

For once, it's all Warren and the others have looked through, but that's why it's unacceptable to press judgment appropriately. Carefully go through each and every one.

"Excuse me, Master Ain."

"I brought you some tea, thank you, Mr. Martha"

Martha comes to Ain's office just in time to take a break. The time is already nine o'clock at night. Ein, who also took the meal in her room, had been sending her work packing time long after she returned to the castle.

"I also brought you a snack, would you like to have it?

"I'll take it. You just wanted it... Thank you."

There are two sets of sandwiches next to the tea, which is a delightful amount for the growing Ain due to the volume of one.

"You've been heading to your desk, aren't you tired...?

"You're quite used to it, aren't you? So I guess I'm not tired."

In living in a castle, royal work has been done for years. It used to be all about getting sleepy, but now I'm perfectly fine, and I can see Ain't growing better.

"That's above all. But don't forget to take a break."

"Ha. I know, Mr. Martha.... Thanks for the tea and food, I'll take a little more time off."

"I understand. So if you need anything, I'll call you."

Hearing Ain's reply, Martha quietly leaves the room. Come on, one more stomp, Ain't got his hands on the snack Martha gave him, and slaps him on the cheek to get him in the mood.

"I think I'll eat the letter while I check."

I don't need an autograph, my letters and papers. Plus I decided to have a snack while I looked through it. By doing so, you can use your time efficiently.... Slowly as a meal, not that I don't feel that way, but this was the best I could do for my sleep.

"From Grandpa? What is it..."

We're in the same castle, so why don't we talk with our mouths? Ein used to think so, but the importance of keeping it on the paperwork is certain. I didn't tell you. Not only can I make no mistakes, I can treat it as more formal than I promised.

"Next week again...... the life day standings of the predecessors His Majesty?

What's written in the paperwork is one communication.

Two weeks later, it was about asking Ain to stand up. It is that Ein take to the grave together, on the fate day of Silvard's father, the king of Silvard's predecessors. Until now, Silvado was the only one who went to the grave every lifeday. It seems to be like a royal gesture of Ishtarika, usually only the king heads to the spot.

"Seek to stand because I thought it was time to remember..."

As we grew, Ain't started to get involved in a lot of things. I was convinced that it would be something similar. There are things to learn from Silvado, now king, because he will be king in the future. That's a thankful story because you can show it next door.

"Let's also tell Krone later. I need you to incorporate it into my plans."

We need to look into some later, such as the practices that will be necessary for proper dressing. There are many more things to do in the future, and we need to learn from them.

"A king. King... King Ishtarika..."

In retrospect of my time at Roundheart, I've never thought of becoming the royal family of such a great power. I just stand around for Olivia, and all I can think of is memories I'm sorry for the inconvenience I caused you.

What will the ex-families be doing by now? Grint is next to that runaway prince, and Logus must be serving as a general.... I don't care enough about my grandmother Isis or the Second Lady Alma.

If we really decide to meet with Heim, I'm sure we'll be reunited with Logus. I'm going to be worried about that right now about what kind of face to look like.

"Yeah...... I don't hate it, but I don't like it, I don't feel like killing it, but I want a little payback.... ahhh I will no longer"

Naturally, there is no love or love left as a family. Nevertheless, it is difficult to put this mood into words.

"Well Grint... yeah. I hope you grow up moderately healthy."

This idea is incredibly sweet in retrospect of what happened at Euro or at the Mansion of the Round Heart. But my younger brother, who grew up under the influence of Alma and Isis, has no resentment whatsoever. I sometimes thought it was depressing when Euro did, but that would be because of the situation then.

"It was a treat. That goes on."

Make sure to stretch your torso wide with the paperwork you were checking with one hand while eating the sandwich. With a breath, I feel physically and mentally recovered.

—— Try not to be ashamed of yourself as the future king of Ishtarika. Ain goes to his desk again with that thought in his chest.

"It was not a vessel of kings," he refocused again so that they would not say that in the future.

"... Speaking of which, it must be a vessel"

What is the vessel of the king? corner, so let's hear that idea from Silverado next time.... Ein thought so.

In retrospect, Marco was also talking about vessels and mouths, and if so, Silvado's answer could be a hint of something.

"First of all, we need to finish today's work."

--… Ein's work on this day lasted until just before he crossed the day.
