140 Will You Love Me?

"Anon. You should weave this"

"... yeah. Thank you."

The season is coming after spring and the warmth is increasing gradually.

Anon was staying at the Round Heart Mansion tonight.

Grint hands the gown to Anon, who exposes nudity on the bed.

"Thank you so much for making time with me when I said you were busy"

When spoken with a worried look, Grint repeats his denial so that he can wolf.

"Chi... no! I just wanted to be with Anon! I don't need that kind of wasted attention!

A grint sitting on the edge of the bed raises his voice in a panic.

"Hehe. I'm a happy man."

Then, the look of Anon, who delights me.

That was enough for Grint.

"... but bad. You're gonna say goodbye in the morning."

"Right...... right. I know. Anyway, it's an important job."

The following morning Grint shall deliver to Euro the letter which Tiggle has confirmed (made).

The letter would then reach Ishtarika.

"Oh yeah. This is your last exchange with Ishtarika before the meeting."

Seeing Grint talking troublesome, Anon went on to ask.

"Again, does the Augusto family matter as well?

"Mm... Oh, I can't say it out loud, but Lord Elena's case still has a huge impact."

"As if people had changed, they tried to move things forward in moderation..."

Continue the words carefully so that you can see how Grint is doing.

"That's Anon. You know very well."

When Grint says so, he goes into bed and goes next to Anon.

"Then His Royal Highness also decided to make you uncomfortable..."

"... If it was Elena's words, didn't the rest of us get upset?

It hurts, Anon.

"also, sorry......"

Grint held Anon apologizing and opened his mouth saying it was okay.

"It's nothing. It's true. This is nothing else, what Lord Elena said is the problem."

Elena back from Ishtarika.

Her actions have been found out by Ishtarika, and her return is a deliberate transfer on Ishtarika's ship.

Plus, they showed off the military harbor and other facilities and came back.

I wish I'd gotten this far, but Elena will be more cautious than ever.

On the contrary, it was enough to say that we should go from Heim to low profile… etc.

"Thanks also to this, the work shaken by Lord Elena has fallen dramatically. That means you're here for me."

"... and less time with me. is it?"

Grint laughs bitterly when he sees an unfaithful anon.

"... we'll settle down soon. At the end of this meeting we should be able to slow down for a while."

"I hope so."

"Oh, please. Totally... a really troublesome country."

Grint, who seems careless, doesn't feel well when he thinks about Ishtalika.

Not only because it reminds me of my brother, but also because it reminds me of my last ugliness.

"In the meantime, let's not talk about that country anymore.... Because of this, I also buy some souvenirs from Euro. Anything you want?

Change your expression and point your smile at Anon

"Souvenirs......?

"Oh. If you have something to worry about, I'll get it."

"-- then may I ask for one message?

"... hmm? To whom?

Grint looks at Anon wonderfully when he hears a message from one who is in Euro.

"I've known him for a long time. I haven't heard from you in a while..."

"What, you know what? Then I'll take care of it."

"Well, thank you. Dear Grint,"

Seeing Anon looking happy, Grint seemed satisfied with that alone.

"So? Who am I supposed to give a message to?

"... that's right, Master Grint knows better too."

"Someone I know too...?

I put my hand on my forehead and I look at Grint, and Anon smiles small.

"Now, who are you talking about?

I can't help but wonder who it is. Grint sees a grin like Anon's prankster and thinks deeper. But still, I don't know who you're talking about.

I have no idea who you're talking about.

"--… Then, after you love me again, I'll tell you"

When Anon spoke this way, he turned to Grint and allowed his body to drip.

The morning Grint left for Euro.

Many ships had pushed over to the port town Round Heart.

Some of these are not only Heim's ships, but also ships owned by the trading city of Birdland, as well as ships boarded by adventurers.

Many of them were hired as escorts for Heim's ships.

"Your Highness. How's it going?

"... oh! It's Logus!

Logus approaches Tiggle, who was watching what happened at the harbor.

"Your Royal Highness has given me a lift and I just want to feel sorry for you"

"Don't say that. This is what I wanted, not what I care"

Tiggle laughs in a good mood, slapping Logus on the shoulder.

"... the sounds of seabirds are pleasant"

"Ah. Let's just say I'm going to be healed by this voice now. It won't be long before we get to the meeting with Ishtalika."

Not visible from this port, but on the other side of the horizon, there should be an island used for talks with Ishtarika.

Tiggle staring in that direction.

"We're finally going one step further. That's a long way to go..."

Tiggle, with his hands on his hips and a sea breeze, recalls a lengthy investigation to date.

"I'm sorry about Elena. I may have been cowardly, but I can't even let Elena do the job now."

"... Ha"

"Even for me, I have feelings for believing. But there's no way I'm gonna be able to get this far."

Tiggle speaks to Logus as if to speak of stupidity.

But in those words, I could not feel my feelings for Heim.

Logus felt it.

I was wondering if you no longer prioritize the will or your own love heart.

"... yeah, right"

But Logus is not going to point that out.

Thou shalt not differ from the royal family by thyself, the great general of Heim.

That's what I've been doing, so I was going to keep doing that.

"Sometimes Logus. From what I hear, I think your son and wife are coming too..."

"I forgot to put it on."

"Well, you're right. But still, Olivia is a layered woman, and that man is a child born as a result."

"--… but"

"Sorry. Forget it, I asked a mean question"

Hearing Tiggle's words, Logus stopped opening his mouth.

Because I was struck by feelings of sadness and anger.

"Has Grint gone yet?

"Ha. As soon as I woke up in the morning, I ran my horse to Euro"

"I'm sorry I made you do this."

"... no. Let Grint be the man to look forward to it."

Letter with the intention of final confirmation.

Send it to Ishtarika via Euro.

The letter will be the last exchange before the talks.

"Anon and I seem to be getting along, and I'm glad too. Our Holy Knight seems to be happy because of it."

The rapprochement between the two was a reputation.

Although the Second Lady's hope had arrived, Grint was stubbornly turning it down.

"Speaking of which, I see that Miss Anon asked me to do something for you."

"Mm-hmm? What does that have to do with going to Euro?

"Yep. Anything, Lord Ed asked me to give him a message..."

Hearing what Logus has to say, Tiggle is interested.

"The Bruno family said they had a connection to Ed?

"Anything, when Lord Ed was an adventurer, he asked for a request..."

"Hmm. Then I'm convinced. So, what was the message?

In reply to the convinced Tiggle, Logus recalls the message.

"... sure." Let's do a new stage, "he asked me to tell him."

"Hey, what's that? You want to play with me?

"Actually, I don't know very well either. But I was wondering if His Highness's thoughts might be close."

Well, okay, say it, Tiggle, I'm not going to really care.

"Whatever, but now we wait for the return of our Holy Knight"

"... yeah, right"

Even within this, the number of ships that gradually increases.

Logus, too, has never seen the port town Round Heart so busy.

"It's going to be a big place for a long time."

"Oh, I hired a lot of adventurers. This is why the sea is difficult because of the money"

"A lot of knights are on their way.... From the royal family, His Majesty Tiggle. And was it His Royal Highness the First Prince?

"That's right. If you name a powerful aristocrat, give it to the Roundheart family, a few of the Bruno family… and the Lance family. Finally, from the Augusto family we take Elena"

It will be a meeting attended by a large number of leading personalities.

If you look at that, you'll see how Heim can do it.

"We have a lot of power."

"Uhm. Even though they're just Ishtarika opponents, they won't take a pull."

Logus nodded as well.

With so many talent, we can also fight Ishtarika.

On the contrary, he said, softly, that he might be recommended for talks in his favor.

"I want to ask you one last time. Your Royal Highness, if we can get any information on Miss Krone..."

"It's been decided. Whatever it takes, I'm taking Krone home!

--… it was the answer I imagined.

Now that we're cutting off national traffic, we're also passing through a third country, Euro, to have an exchange.

I want to make less opportunities a thing, that Tiggle feels conveyed.

You don't give Lord Graff's name.

And Logus laughed bitterly in his heart.

"Your father, too, was beating his heart about Krone."

"Hmm? I had never heard of that... how?

Hearing Logus reply, Tiggle feels better and opens his mouth.

"Oh! Anything, 'a" great people "named Red Fox would bless the two of us!' … and in the near future, you will be more supportive than ever."

"Hmm...... If you can count on God's blessing, there's nothing more to it."

When I heard Tiggle's delightful words, Logus laughed too.

"In that case, the talks are truly legitimate."

"Oh! So do me a favor. Logus!"

Three days after Grint made his way to Euro.

As planned, Grint returned to Heim.

Grint is delighted to have returned well without any major problems on the road.

"Your Highness, I'm back now."

Early on home, the first thing that came was Tiggle's room.

Even though he arrived late at night, Tiggle was waiting for Grint's return.

"Ooh...! Back, Grint!

As he approaches Grint when he returns, Tiggle holds Grint strong.

"So, Your Highness!?

"Ha ha! Never mind! That was daunting, Grint!

Expressing delight, he slaps Grint in the back and sits in his seat.

Then he invited Grint, so Grint sat down in the front seat.

"So, how'd it go?

"Ha. No doubt, I handed it to the Ishtarikas. But you still have a bad attitude... you didn't have the courtesy."

"... well. Ishtarika's. That's now. I don't care, but it doesn't make me feel good."

"Yes. So we have to show our presence in the talks"

Tiggle snorts deeply when he hears it.

"Grint is right.... but in a few days we'll be on our way to a meeting with Ishtarika"

Tiggle to smudge and mouth.

"Right. Sounds like a long time, but finally."

It has been several years since I received a reply from Ishtarika.

Exchanges between nations take time, but yet countries on yet another continent are opponents, and national traffic is cut off.

That way, I can give up taking so long.

"Ah.... let me tell you for once. There will be no rescheduling, we Haim will head to the island as planned"

"That's more than anything."

"Mm-hmm. Hiring adventurers and preparing ships is a painful expense. But it is true that it is a matter of necessity. You want to bring back definitive results."

Grint nods deeply.

Many taxes have been put in, so I'd like to avoid no consequences.

"... by the way, what have you been doing giving Ed a message?

"Uh, yeah. Anon seems to have an affinity, and I have a word for it, but I came to tell him."

"So. What was Ed saying?

I didn't mean to care too much, but Ed is a man enough to defeat Logus.

I wondered what kind of response he had.

"I'm coming with 'Making a Role'. I mean, you really don't know what that means..."

"... oh, I don't know that either. But, well, you're going to see it in a play."

"Yep. I think so too."

Seeing as Grint agrees, Tiggle changes the subject.

"How about that, Grint? Once we've settled down, we can go to Birdland and take a vacation."

There are many luxurious lodgings in Birdland.

Spending leisure time there is a sort of status for the nobility.

"I was wondering if that would be great. Well, I look forward to going to Birdland."

Hearing Tiggle's words, Grint grins.

This is how he cares, so he was a good prince for Grint.

Then for a little while, the two of us enjoyed the bickering in Tiggle's room.

Grint left Tiggle's room because he had to report it to Logus along the way.

There was one tiggle left, but even after Grint walked away, he thought about the talks and made me feel better.

A few days after Grint returned to Heim.

Finally, the day has come for us to leave for our meeting with Ishtarika.

The people of Heim were pushing to see the many ships lining the port town Roundheart.

When he saw it, Grint spoke to Elena, standing next to him.

"This again. That's an amazing crowd...... Lord Elena"

"... right"

These days, Elena is no longer given a job.

But still, we need to take him to this meeting.

Elena was also reassured in her mind that she could follow her as well because she thought she had to go.

"... Isn't that just how busy we're going to be, not seen in Ishtarika?

Grint speaking with confidence, but Elena's expression is dark in contrast.

"Uh, yeah. I think it's a wonderful day."

In all seriousness, I couldn't compare... that's what I wanted to say, but I remember Tiggle's response to himself.

I was afraid that if I felt bad until Grint, they would leave me in the earthen.

"You may have some thoughts. But we need the help of Lord Elena."

Grint knew.

That Elena's power is essential to this meeting.

"I know. With all my strength, I intend to come to the talks."

—— If I have to, I need to stop.

Elena is ready for this meeting.

That's how I felt strongly, and one woman approached me.

"... oh. Guests, apparently, so I'm headed to the ship one foot ahead."

Then Elena, who noticed the woman, walks away with the spot early enough and heads to the ship.

I wondered what was going on, Grint wondered, but I saw the woman who came and figured out why.

"Dear Grint. I'm here to drop you off."

"Ah Anon! You're here!

Grint, who cares not for the eyes, but holds the anon that has come.

Anon, who did so, doesn't show how shy he is, just makes him happy.

"Yeah, of course. Anyway, Master Grint is leaving."

Grint, who was tired of the crowd, also feels healed by Anon's words.

"... bad. I don't have much time for the two of us."

"It's true.... Did you hate me?

"Don't be stupid! It doesn't change the feelings I've had!

Look at the front. Look at this mouth-running grint. Anon gave a surprised look, but immediately smiles and opens his mouth.

"... I'm a happy man, aren't I? I'm glad you said that."

Since Anon seemed relieved, Grint relieves himself as well.

"Leaving Heim for a little while to come. But it's not like I'm leaving Anon."

"Yes. Okay. … because I believe in Master Grint"

"Oh! Wait for me in the mood for a big boat!

"Oh, that's hilarious. Aren't you going to be aboard the big ship, Master Grint?"

When dull, Anon speaks with a zero grin.

'You're right,' Grint laughed when he heard it.

Then, a little while later, a line of Heim sailed out of the harbor to come to the meeting.
