Relationship between Rion and Alice

Whether to receive a request from the Kingdom of Thalia. In this regard, Leon's idea is fixed. Rion is impressed by King Thalia, who is still a child, but who has demonstrated her status as a king. King Thalia also has a determination that she does not have.

It is regrettable to end King Talia with her name. If you grow up with your current mind, there is a high possibility that you will be called a great prince.

Rion has never met anyone who seems like this. And one of them is no longer in this world. King Thalia's words reminded Leon of Vincent who knew his weakness and was still doing everything he could. When you feel like this, you no longer have the option to decline to Leon.

The problem is how to fulfill the request.

The movements of the Royal Army of the Merika are being searched in detail. It's a very careful move. The occupied Kingdom of Thalia and the Kingdom of Paine have been strengthening their control over their respective cities, but they are not in a hurry.

On the contrary, there are signs that the Allied Forces of the Eastern Powers are being invited. Rion is convinced that this guess is not wrong. The purpose of the Kingdom of the Merica is eastern politics, but only to remove eastern anxiety in preparation for the decisive battle with the Grand Flam Kingdom. You don't have to take the nation, just take the power to intervene in the fight against the Grand Flam. On the contrary, it means that the war with the Eastern Union cannot be ended without leaving the military power.

"First, create a base in the Kingdom of Thalia?"

"Is it already?"

Mercury curiously answered Rion's words. Not all of the Kingdom of Thalia is held down by the Kingdom of Merica. Some parts of the east serve as defenses for the Allies of the Eastern Countries.

"It's no use for a military base. A town where ordinary people live. It needs to be based in a fairly large city."

"Isn't it dangerous to suddenly aim for it?"

Military bases with high defense capabilities have been able to protect even the overwhelming force gap. In cities where the general population has poor defense ability, there is no guarantee that even if it is robbed, it will be completely protected.

"I know it's dangerous, but I don't think it's impossible for the military alone to regain control of the nation. It needs the support and support of the people. is there"

"... do you involve the people?"

Mercury is a bit confused, not thinking like Leon.

"It's King Talia's will. He seems prepared to do that. I don't know how it is, but I'll take responsibility for what I say."

"Is that so……"

Even if it was the client's will, Rion who accepted it was strange. No matter how rewarding they are, they have been refused until now.

"I think it's the result of thinking as King Talia. At least I didn't feel selfish and I thought I would be a good king if I grew up well. I want that king to reign."

Recognizing Mercury's thoughts, Rion further shared his thoughts.

"I understand"

If Rion says so far, Mercury can say nothing more. Originally, Mercury was not dissatisfied. Mercury believes that it is his job to speak for the feelings of others.

The number of merchants who have left Bandu before joining the mercenaries is now overwhelmingly large. Many people have not yet fully understood the people because of Leon.

"Is it found anywhere as a candidate site?"

Leon's question went to Chandra. Chandra was also jumping out of Bandeau following Leon. He is now leading Lion's intelligence services, including those of the Black Party sent by the leader of Bravod.

"Siena and Tosca"

"What is the trend of the lord there?"

"Siena obeys Melica. Tosca is secretly preparing for rebellion."

"... What is Siena's position?"

"Southeast of Veneto, the capital, five days away"

"From the border?"

"Four days from Ilia, three days from Paine"

"That's right, follow up on Siena's investigation. Thoroughly investigate defense weaknesses and, if possible, sneak in."

"Consent"

The rebellion base leans to Siena. I've given instructions to sneak in, so it's almost decided unless there are too many problems.

"Why choose Siena?"

Mercury believes that it is the role of Mercury to ask questions.

"I haven't decided yet, but will Tosca fight the Merika Kingdom if left alone?"

"But before fighting the Merika kingdom do you defeat the thalia nobles?"

If you drop the city, the army will wear as much. Then it seems Mercury just to take advantage of the Merika Kingdom.

"I'm a traitor. I won't forgive traitors. I'll get Siena to show you that, and more people will sharpen the flag. It's just a betrayal of time. ''

This has nothing to do with King Thalia's will. It's like Leon.

"I understand"

Mercury knows that too.

"Can the problem be dropped before the British Army reinforcements arrive? No, we need time to set up defenses after the drop. Three days to know the attack, and a minimum of five days to dispatch the army ..." It's really impossible, I need to get in the way, and there's a base for separate units as well, how do you get it into Thalia? "

Having decided on a rebellion base, Rion's thoughts began to look beyond. However, this is not what is decided now. If you have more information about Siena, where you will be based, you will need to take that into consideration. By repeating this, the final plan is completed. This is Rion's usual practice.

"... I'll sort it out a bit."

Rion stands and says this. This is different from before. In the past, I often seemed to be completely concerned about having people around me, rather than forgotten to say that I was there.

The reasons for this change are not apparent to the Mercuries. I imagine somehow thinking and thinking I might be resting alone.

"I want my work addiction to be sloppy."

Alice doesn't know at all. In this case, the atmosphere of the field is not known.

"Who's that? Too long ago, Mr. Lion was overworked, but he still had more time to spare, more time, not more time. Rion is now chasing himself. looks like"

The role of complaining to Alice has not been determined implicitly, but Mercury was the first to complain. The frustration is accumulating the most.

"... I guess it's my fault?"

"Who else is there? It's because you separated Rion and Eriel."

"Oh, I don't want to hear that name."

"If you don't want to hear it, listen. I'll tell you what I want to say."

The wording of Alice's dissatisfaction clearly put Mercury out of control. The Mercuries accompanied Rion because they wanted to return to Bandeau and return to Eriel.

But four years already. I'm just getting frustrated by what I can't do.

"What?"

"Are you really happy to be with Rion now?"

"……What do you mean?"

Alice was surprised at Mercury's question. I thought I was just complaining.

"I think Leon is the most attractive when he is with Eriel, because he is the only one who can see Leon."

Earlier, Charlotte told Prince Arnold that he loved Leon, who was obsessed with Eriel. Mercury says the same.

"... fun"

"You may be, but what about Leon? If you really like Leon, shouldn't you first consider the happiness of the other person?"

"I make him happy"

"I can't do it for you"

"You don't know unless you try!"

"So when is it? When will Leon be happy?"

"that is……"

Alice has no answer to Mercury's question. Many people who are not Alice can not answer this question. If anyone can answer, you're just confident or really happy.

"You're the world? If so, try to make Rion a happy world. If you can't do that, give it to someone who can."

In addition, Mercury hurts Alice. It is exhaling the dissatisfaction accumulated in the pool at once.

"... Terrible. I hate you!"

With tears in her eyes, Alice complained of her best to Mercury and started running.

"... like a person"

Seeing Alice, Chandra muttered.

"Is that you?"

Mercury has a similar impression. Alice used to behave like a man, but he was clearly uncomfortable. She is laughing and not laughing, she is crying and not crying. I couldn't feel any emotion in any way.

But now Alice has clearly communicated his regrets. That was strange to Mercury, and I regretted it was a bit too much.

◇◇◇

Leung out of the room, he was on the roof of a dormitory prepared for the Wonderland Mercenaries. These days, whenever I want to be alone, I always come to this place.

Standing on the roof, they look dimly around and indulge in thoughts.

"After all, here?"

The voice I heard from my back. It's Alice's voice that doesn't need to be turned around.

"What is it for?"

With his gaze facing forward, Rion replied.

"I came to complain"

"A complaint?"

"How long do you keep feeling depressed? Everything is annoying because of me."

"... What did you think of the world when it was the world?-What did you think of people living in the world?"

Without answering Alice's question, Rion replied a completely different story.

"I don't feel like I see it. I don't have sight. It just comes in as information."

Alice replied, without apparent concern that her question had been ignored.

"Information. Still do you think about people?"

"What about the world? I'm part of it. It's just one of the countless worlds."

"... what is that?"

Despite being told that the world is innumerable, Lion was not imaged.

"Did you know? There's Ryo and Frey. I'm thinking about each, but it's a whole will that will be aggregated into Rion. It's similar."

"... I understand somehow"

Rion understood that rather than having multiple worlds, he manages one world in finer divisions. Alice was one of the parts that managed it. Some are right, some are wrong. In the first place, human beings cannot completely understand the world.

"And because I was a foreigner in the world, my opinion wasn't helpful."

"I didn't want to know the idea of the world. When I thought of it as a person, I wondered what a third party would look like."

"... It's a philosophical question, but there's no answer to it. The world doesn't think about it. Most of it."

"Almost?"

"I didn't say that I was a foreign being, because I was emotional about people."

"... are there any emotions in other worlds?"

Alice has known for some time that she is foreign. But that alone is not the word "almost".

"Many. But I think there are other worlds like me. Are you in this world?"

"... Anyone in the world who reborn Ryo?"

Rion never thought that the story would go in this direction. But the reason that Ryo was reincarnated was that he was always worried. I wanted to know that.

"I'm guessing because I'm not. But I know. I'm tired of parts of the world."

Alice's explanation is difficult for Lion to understand.

"... bad. I don't know."

"I'll explain it from now, but I'm not going to understand it, so I'll tell you a little easier to understand."

"……Oh"

For example, I don't think it can be understood even if it explains the mechanism of space generation. Alice says that is what Rion has to say.

"This world is a fantasy world rather than a game world. There is a mixture of thoughts from different people, and this world exists, and at the same time there are many worlds. Is this good?"

"... Somehow. Does the fantasy world look like a parallel world?"

"... It's a bit different, but is that okay? That's what manages it. Something like me manages the same world over and over again. I was being managed the same game story over and over again. "

"... Is that so? Are you tired of it?"

Different players repeat the same game over and over, just like a real game. If you're a game manager, you might be bored. After all, it's a programmed game. The pattern is fixed.

"In addition, there are some inferiors who do not seem to be the protagonist like this time."

"Ah, yes. Are there any other reincarnated incarnations?"

Rion knew that repeating over and over meant changing the main player.

"Yes. Some heroes take the responsibility as heroes and try to live hard in this world. But knowing such heroes, even more, must give the same treatment to a woman like this hero. I wonder. "

"I understand my feelings"

"This time, I thought so, and that wasn't the only thing I was interested in, and I thought you were worthy of being the protagonist. I kept thinking for the most part. ''

"The world has different intentions?"

The whole world was not an enemy. Knowing this doesn't change anything, but it's interesting.

"That's right. When I tell the truth, from a global perspective, I'm like a little tiny grain of sand. So I wasn't the only one who helped you. A little more powerful being put you in this world I think you did, and you did some kind of action, but from the perspective of the whole world, your intention to get rid of you would have been overwhelmingly strong. "

"... why me? What do you want me to do?"

"I don't know. You may have just wanted to introduce a bug, or harass it."

"I am an insect ..."

Bug that upsets game programs. As such, when I wonder if I have been reincarnated in this world, complex emotions pass through Rion's heart.

"Angry?"

"No, I'm not angry. I've had the opportunity to start over in this world. In fact, I'm much more fulfilling now than Ryo's life. I'm grateful for it."

Ryo's life was a life where she gave up a lot and did nothing. But not now. If you never give up, Rion is determined to live.

"Return to the story, but don't pretend to be depressed."

"It's true that you're depressed."

"But you haven't given up"

"It's obvious. I haven't decided anything yet."

Leon has not forgotten Vincent's revenge. That's what you have to do, even if you get away from Eriel. There is also a desire not to forget the common purpose because they are far apart.

"Are you aiming for my chance? I'm useless."

You need to escape from Alice's restraint. That's what Alice knows.

"What about that? You actually showed a chance."

"……When?"

"Now, you said? It's not your own power that helped me. That's not your power to help you all, Airiel and Bandeau."

Contract when defeating the genie. It's more like a curse than a contract. Rion has been deprived of freedom by the spell, but in fact Rion does not know what the spell is. Alice doesn't want to talk about the details.

It may or may not be a threat. One thing is clear: if you don't know anything, nothing can be done.

"... but it's true that I helped."

"Don't be impatient. I don't think this alone will break your promise. And I don't think you'll leave me."

Anyway, Leon wants to know what the spell is. I think we can find a way to break it if we know it.

"……Really?"

Alice looks at Rion as he looks up.

"I can't lie for this."

Rion also stared at Alice's eyes from the front and spoke clearly.

"... I'm a woman. Did you cheat a lot of women?"

Alice swells with her cheeks inflated. These expressions are not like dolls when they first meet. Alice is changing little by little.

"Are you a woman?"

"You made a woman. What was your impression of the world? What was it like?"

"... Do you say that now? And because you really want to try it?"

Rion was a loose guard when she was still pressed by a woman. She seems to be fine not only for women but also for non-humans.

"Even though I hugged you many times, were you happy to be able to lay down the world?

"Um, those embarrassing lines ..."

Rion was hardened with a surprised look.

"what?"

"……Nothing"

Rion is asked by Alice and has an uncomfortable atmosphere. If you show this kind of attitude, do you want to pursue more and more? That is.

"So what?"

"... I tried not to say that embarrassing line."

"Hmm? Why did you stop it halfway?"

The words returned to the repeated questions are not hesitant. But in the case of Leon, it's a bit special.

"It was a line I often told Eriel."

"... a bit complicated"

Alice was a little glad to hear Yakimochi making the same line as she was heading for Aeriel.

"Stop this story"

"I don't want to own the world tonight?"

"It's persistent. I have to decide before I can make the world my own."

This world is not about Alice. To divert the story, Rion uses these words.

"... Is that a serious story?"

Alice also knew and changed the story. It's too sad to be rejected by Rion.

"No wonder"

"Well, maybe you're going to get the suggestion of that inability to eat?"

It is a proposal by Cornelius IV. Alice has no reverence for the king.

"I haven't decided to take it. I guess I could afford to think a bit. It's not the grandfather but the children."

And that is the same for Rion. I treat it with a good attitude, but it's like a sales smile. It's just a form of respect.

"Hey. Have you been inspired by a pure boy?"

"It's a bit different. I just thought the country frame was useful."

"……What do you mean?"

"For me, others were important people, enemies and others."

The only important people are Eriel and Vincent. Many were otherwise not of interest.

"So?"

"In other than that, there was a companion who became the person to protect, the same as the important person. However, there is also a sense that this person to protect is ambiguous, and that it is necessary to protect it otherwise."

The people in the favela should be protected by friends. So Bandu's folks are subtle in Lion. Not all people can be called companions. But there is also a consciousness that the folks should be protected. Rion does not know whether he is the responsibility of the lord or his own will.

"Are you fighting with gentle Ryo and furious Frey?"

"Well, is that right?-The other parts mesh well, but for some reason only this is not clear.

"... I understand, but how does it relate to the country?"

"If you have your own country, those in the country are the ones to protect, and others are clear as enemies or otherwise."

When Alice hears this, she turns her face into a stunned face. Ordinary people do not try to color others seriously. And there is no one to worry about having a country for that.

"... Sometimes I think you're stupid."

"Huh? Why?"

"Really, don't let me get bored."

Alice knows the original Lion. Sometimes when I'm talking alone, I sometimes show. Alice doesn't know why. In Rion's classification, he is definitely an enemy.

I don't know what Rion thinks, but Alice himself is happy to be with Rion.

Even if you know it's a limited time. That's why I don't want anyone to get in the way.
