243 Listen To Me.
243 Listen To Me.
The next morning - the vibrancy of the castle town also reached the castle, even though it was still in the middle of the festival or only a little after the sun had risen.
In the morning sun the castle is dyed pale red, and the border between night and morning beautifully colors the king's capital.
On such a clear morning, he walks alone in the courtyard.
"- Oh. This is a brilliant plant. I don't think it was until yesterday."
"This is Master Marco. Yeah, this is the item I just received from Baltic..."
"I see. Something like a dedication to the royal family...... right?
Marco was walking in the courtyard.
His body is covered with armor and he has no head.
But watching him walk somehow makes him illuminate as if he were wearing butler clothes.
Such a Marco called out to the magnificent gardener.
"As I said, this is a dedication. The royal family is not so much a gift to His Royal Highness Prince Wang, but from Count Risel Balto of Baltic."
Well, and Marco tilts his head - moving his body like.
I thought in my heart about what nobility I was with Riselle Bart.
Then, after a little silence, we get the answer.
"Oh! Sure, Lord Ein's teacher at school... was it you, brother of?
"Yep. You're absolutely right."
I see. A nobleman named Riselle isn't bad, Marco nodded - moving his body like that.
Because there's nothing I can do to tilt my head, to snort.
I have difficulty with dialogue at times like this, but I'm no longer used to it, and I never regret it.
"According to Count Baltic, the strong demons are fleeing pretty deep"
"I suppose the influence of the Arshes is..."
Marco nods at the gardener's words.
"I thought Marco was right."
"I'm sure the three of you... the old king's capital - will be singing your days in that land. If the damage is reduced as a result, that's great."
"Yep. Anyway, His Majesty's proclamation has revealed the truth about past demon king disturbances. There was also a lot of confusion last year... but now I wonder if Marco's ability to walk leisurely through the King's capital is proof of calm"
"No. All this is because of Ein's morality..."
Marco answers: Enjoy the morning sun breaking up with the gardener and entering the courtyard.
I thank Ain for the refreshing morning air in my body and for encouraging loyalty today.
Morning light plugging into the window. It was a light that evenly burst into every room, but from Marco's point of view, it should not have seemed to emit a greater glow than Ain's room alone.
? ? ?
A few minutes after Marco enjoyed his morning walk.
When the morning sun gained even more momentum, Ain woke up from the glare.
After talking to Krone last night, I soothed my fatigue in the bathroom provided for my room before entering bed.
Wake up your torso and stretch your body to see how tired you are.
"... yeah. Excellent."
Although I've tried, these days, Ain't got nothing to do with malaise.
World tree of bulimia - so to speak, it just seems to me that after going beyond the situation of a runaway demon king, I rather have an extra body.
"- Mr. Cain says if it's just the White Soldier War, I'll deal with him..."
Because if we distance ourselves and become a battle for anything, Ain't gonna win.
Ain't inferior to the experience, skill and everything Cain has. But even a force push can win - such power was all the world tree of bulimia.
"If you change your mind, they told me you can't lose the White Soldier War... no, you can't help it. To a swordsman who lived for hundreds of years, a pompous man... no, he was a demon king. Besides, you're a world tree."
I want to be human. I feel I always had such hope, but I no longer abandon such thoughts far away.
I have a people and family who accept me more than that kind of hope. That was all Ain had enough now.
"But I regret something. Defeat me one day..."
Reminds me of the tricks I received in the spiritual world.
From then on, I'll think about how strong I've become.
Tomorrow, the force becomes stronger, the speed of reaction, etc. … So to speak, the strength of the unskilled increases dramatically.
But if Cain was serious and set up a melee fight - if he asked if he could win just the White Soldier fight, he was annoyed by emotions that made him want to ignore his mouth half-open.
"It's strange that world trees use swords to fight. Which means it's unsuitable."
Think about it, Cain once told Ain't got no sword talent.
However, the remorse that drifts in my heart does not disappear. I proved Ein hated losing.
- Alone on the bed, Ein soaks up a mysterious sense of defeat in the morning.
But there is no denying that it is unsuitable.
"... Speaking of which, Mother and Chris should be back soon"
Second, Ain reminds me of the two of you.
When I think of the two of us who haven't seen their faces all day yesterday, the sense of defeat just now disappears somewhere.
Then I stood up and took my feet to the window.
"Oh, nice breeze."
If you open the window, the bright wind in the morning envelops Ain.
The gap in the sleeping roll where the button was removed - where the wind enters and a different temperature difference than in the bed cools the ein.
As Ain takes a deep breath as he is, he advances his legs to the couch. I take the shirt I had prepared to wear in the morning and take off my sleeping roll and change.
I put it on, changed my pants, wrapped my belt around my hips and put my sword on.
Speaking of which, I suddenly recall that you needed Marco to decide on the name of your sword.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of name he gives me.
Ein smiles naturally and confirms that she has finished dressing.
When I touched my head, I felt relieved that there was no sleeping place where my eyes were.
Continue, walk busily through the room to the bathroom, wash your face with the provided sink, and then fix your hair.
At this age - Ain't turning fifteen this year. One of the routines he's been following is this.
Sometimes we keep heading for morning training, but now we're in the middle of a festival.
For the past few days, I have refrained from training in the morning.
"Okay! I think I'll pick up your mother and Chris."
? ? ?
Leaving the room in a whim, Ain walks down a walkable hallway.
"Oh. Good morning. Your Highness."
"Good morning! Your Highness!"
"Ah. Good morning."
Answering the servants and knights who were already in the middle of work, Ain advances his feet toward the stairs.
As soon as we get down there, we'll be at the front entrance.
What shall we do about breakfast? No, I guess it's best to eat with you two. And, with a hungry stomach, Ain continues to walk with a bitter laugh.
- On the other hand,
"Hmmm...... I hear you'll be back in the morning, but is it the station? Or are you already in the carriage?"
I said I'd pick you both up, but if it was a mistake, it wouldn't have accumulated.
Well, what's the matter? Ain't got his arms together and bothered.
Then, in good time, a knight will speak to Ain.
"Dear Ein. Good morning - by the way, I apologize for not letting you escort me yesterday"
"Ah, Dill. Just great!... and thank you Katima for your help"
The two look each other in the eye and spill a grin.
We immerse ourselves in an exquisite (...) atmosphere because we were making each other feel sorry for us.
That just lasted a few seconds and Ain asked Dill.
"I was going to pick up your mother and Chris, you know what's going on now?
"That said, are you coming back to the King's Capital, or not?
"Yeah. That's the thing"
"… please wait a moment"
Dill puts a no and puts his hand in the armor.
I'm used to seeing it now, but Ain't you really Ketsey... and I think inside.
The golden fur looks exactly like a lion and all, and now,
(Royal lion... is that it?)
In addition to his ambitious appearance, his own sword arm is appreciated, and he has what a successful alias.
He has a larger body around two or three times than Katima, but would be less than 160 cm tall. Unlike Katima, however, she has an impressive muscular figure with pitch-black armor made exclusively for dill.
Seeing this appearance, Ein was also just convinced by the word royal lion.
Having survived last year's war, he is putting more effort into it and holding back beside Ain.
"There was. You two are..."
When Dill takes out the leather notebook, he turns the paper and opens the desired page.
And I told Ain how Olivia and Chris were doing.
"We have already arrived in King's Capital. And I thought it was time to take the carriage back to the castle..."
"Good. I almost made a mistake."
"That was above all. … and. Lord Krone has told me that he will face the Augusto Chamber of Commerce until after this evening."
"To the Augusto Chamber of Commerce?
Krone looks tough in the morning, too.
But why did you head to the Augusto Chamber of Commerce?
"Elena says she wants it from Heim, so she wants to check on Heim."
"Oh... well. Elena says," No, the Augusto family has a job to rebuild Heim. "
"I thought you were right. Lord Krone or Warren have dealt with this matter..."
I'm sorry I can't see her in the morning. And even when it comes to her, it means two things now.
But when I cut it off because it's my job... Ein tells Dill thank you.
"Thanks. Then I'll go from the castle to the garden. Is Dill going to work?
"No, I'm going to train in the morning."
"- I see. Marco training."
"Ha... Lord Marco said that after lunch, we will keep it to a point where we can move. I, the captain of the regiment, will always be rolled and I won't be dressed."
Dill laughs shyly, but Marco's training seems to be tough already.
Apparently, Ain't been through that training. There are many opportunities to hear the contents mainly from Dill and only hear the results.
"And thanks to Lord Marco, we the Black Knights are growing."
"Black Knight - Marco on Dill. And Clive and Cyrus, only four knights, but as reliable as you can get."
"In quality terms, it's a force that even Kingsguard knights can't fathom. Is there only one problem, such as being stronger for escorts…"
"As, well. Even I'm going to lose easily..."
What I recall is Cain and I thought about getting up.
Losers and dislikes are also shown here, and Dill can flaunt his face with pleasure.
However, I feel that there will be no point in Marco saying that even Kingsguard knights can't be fat.
"Well, then I'll pick you both up."
"Yep. Then I will come to Lord Marco with my breasts."
(... good luck)
Ain't looking behind Dill as he claps in his heart and walks away.
And Ain also turned his foot to the stairs to welcome Olivia and Chris.
? ? ?
Ein left the castle and showed himself in the garden.
Beautiful garden today. Looks like the gardener's doing a good job, looks around.
Then there's Olivia and Chris just back.
Chris, who got off earlier, pulled Olivia's hand and was on his way out of the carriage.
"Huh - well! Ain. You picked me up, didn't you?
It should only be on the edge of my vision, but Olivia immediately notices Ein.
Almost at the same time Chris seemed to notice, but Olivia was one step ahead.
Olivia gets off the carriage and comes close to Ain on a small run.
"Ah... Welcome home... Mother"
Quite a radical touch, but Olivia hugs Ain.
Previously, Ain't got a bigger body now when he said the little Ain just got wrapped up in Olivia.
Olivia is taller than Krone. However, with Ain now, he is treated to the extent that he can fit in his chest.
It was kind of an exciting behavior, but Ein would accept Olivia's behavior.
"Mm, mmm..."
Behind that, Chris was closing in on a disgruntled foothold.
She has a tight mouth and a light wrinkle between her eyebrows.
Inside, it's a secret that you're suffering from complicated emotions, like a dog deprived of your husband.
"Chris too, welcome home"
"... I'm back now. Dear Ein."
I don't like very light behavior. That's Ein's mood.
But I think I can't help it against these two... and comfort my own mind.
Olivia is my mother... because she is a root stock and Chris has always been a dedicated escort to act together.
"It's not! Listen, Master Ain! Olivia made fun of me the whole time on Baltic road..."
"- Hmm? Did your mother make fun of Chris?
What's wrong with you all of a sudden? If you look at Chris strangely, she makes you behave even more unhappy.
Speaking of Olivia on the other hand, with her hands in her mouth, what a delightful leak of laughter.
Then Olivia, who enjoyed Ain's sensation, leaves Ain and reaches out to stroke Chris' head.
"Yes, sir. Good boy, good boy."
"Ko, don't flaunt me like a child!
"Ah... you know, if you like, I'd like you to tell me what happened"
Ein, who had left me so far, asked the two of them soothingly.
"Olivia, what would you do if I left you a message in the king's capital? I've been teasing you!
"Leave a message in Wang Du...?
"Hehe. Are you listening already? Ain't he going to be entrusted with a nearby town next time?
- I see. You mean that.
Ain't got a point, he remembers what Krone told me last night about the coastal city of Strom.
I mean, I guess Chris thought he was going to leave me alone and eat a scarecrow. I was on my way in the investigation before, like I was in Baltic.
"You're not leaving me...? Wow, you can take me too...?
These days she feels more like a loyal dog on the board.
When her eyes were moistened by her beauty, she had the magic (...) to want to answer her feelings even if no.
Plus, I guess the fact that we couldn't leave together during the war in Heim also leads to deep regrets for her.
"I'm not leaving you. I mean, I just heard that story last night, too, so I don't know much about it.... Is that it? So, how do you two know that?
"Wow, in my case, Master Olivia told me... Is that true!? You're not leaving me!?
"I hope it's okay. I promise I won't do anything else."
Caring for Chris, who is on the verge of being slightly traumatized, Ain gently strokes her head.
Is it as if acting like Olivia just now proof that Ein has also followed the board as your husband?
If I watch Chris look thrilled, my manhood will be shaken, but I can't get all this out of my mouth.
"So who did your mother come from...?
"I'm from your father. I heard... about three weeks ago."
- Was I the only one who didn't ask?
Are you sure you don't want to tell the party?
Ever since I came to Ishtarika, I've been used to it, but I still had half a laugh that it was outside the mosquito nets.
But I was going to tell him after the conversation had come together to some extent, because I don't know.
I know that if I leave it to Warren and the others, everything will work out. As a result, I was not even willing to pursue it in depth.
"What, by the way, is it still a fixed time for me to be on duty?
"Yep. It's settled. A few months from now, it might be autumn."
"Autumn......"
That's a long time ago. Ein nods and thinks like this.
But then I wonder if it's life away from the castles, including Olivia, which makes me feel quite lonely.
Naturally, when it comes to experience to be king, I have no objection as Ein either.
But it's impossible to tell them not to feel lonely there.
"I know it's close to Wang Du, but after all, I miss you a little bit"
Ein speaks in a somber, sad voice.
It's not good to show these weaknesses, but they were leaking from nature and mouth in front of them.
- But this attitude of Ain shakes Olivia's heart hard.
"... Mother?
Olivia grabbed Ain's shoulder and drew him to knock his body down.
Then Ain's face, which was made but left behind, is drawn to Olivia's chest.
"It's okay. Ein. Me too... and Chris and I are going to be together."
"Huh?"
"Oh, dear Olivia... she finally admitted to me too..."
Chris with a light attitude shakes his shoulder all the time telling him to do it.
Olivia still laughs with pleasure, but the fact that Olivia comes with her doesn't add up to Ein's understanding.
"Ain't going. I'll come with you. Oh, but when I said I was coming, Martha said she was coming with me."
"In Lord Martha's case, I think more than half will be your guide..."
"Oh, Mother!? When you say you're the second princess, you don't make that much of a decision -"
But Olivia's top priority is always Ain't.
"That's okay. Or should Ein be without me?
(No. I'm very much in favor of you coming with me)
Like at a young age, I whined in my heart about my love for Olivia.
Olivia nodded gently too when she saw Ain seem satisfied.
From Chris, who was watching from the side, it seemed that the only thing that mattered was the fact that I wouldn't be left behind, and the interaction between the two of them hasn't really reached my ears.
"It seems like a lot of busy land, so I'm looking forward to it, too. Dear Ein!"
Krone had his mouth on it, too, but apparently Strom is quite a busy land.
You are welcome to be the lord of such a land from the festive Ain.
I won't be looking forward to it in a few months. And, Ain makes her heart dawn.
"Is it that busy?
"Yes! Well...... if you like, it's a city mixed with the art of ist in a port town that tramples the atmosphere of magna. Now, Ishtarika is a condensed land where the enthusiasm of adventurers like Baltic mingles."
"A certain amount of discretion is left to Ein. So let's see how we can make the city bigger… and so on."
It's a bad way of saying it, but I guess it means feeding it for growth. Instead, if you can't make one city rich, you shouldn't deserve to be king.
(It's too condensed... But...)
If you think the war is over, now embark on building a city - it's topical.
But that wouldn't be the end of it... it made me coexist with mysterious anxiety and anticipation.
