A Wish to Grab Happiness

Episode 535: The Curse of Repetition

"Everyone is looking for you, Rugis. Don't you have to go?"

Eldis gently rubbed her fingertips while keeping her slender body in an euthanasia chair.

The blue eye overlooks the Wang capital from outside the window. At the end of his gaze, he would see the guards running around.

Clamp your shoulders and then press the chewing cigarette against your lips.

"This is why the Philosopher said he was impotent. Hide me till you calm down."

Creeping, Erdis broke his cheek. That's a pretty good laugh.

You would be right that Philos did the unscrupulous.

Somehow, I wasn't convinced.

"Surely it would be impotent to marshal a young man who has no identity in the Garrist Kingdom and no previous history of belonging as a military man. There's always a backlash, and I'm angry. You are my knight. Garrist's Marshal. Not at all."

But then he prefaced, and then Eldis did his gaze out the window again. The grin on my cheek makes me feel deeper.

"You'll never calm down, Rugis. That princess will surely marshal you. It has nothing to do with rebellion. Besides, you're a hero. Citizens and military support you."

"... you say things as if you've read Philos' mind"

"I get it. Me and her, together."

Jasper stared at me. Abandoning the euthanasia chair, Eldis comes nearer and nearer. Her hair color, illuminated by the light sun, appeared slightly more beautiful.

I thought it was a rare thing to say.

Eldis overlaps himself with humans, that's not true. No, the species Elf itself can be called.

They are never cohabitants, even if they were human neighbors. As an organism, it draws the last line somewhere.

So it is very unusual for an elf, and its queen, to overlap itself with a human being.

Both Erdis and Philos are royal. Maybe there was something I thought about that.

He returns his gaze with his shoulder strapped to Eldis' hand, which suddenly touches his cheek.

"What part of the world is it similar? I don't think so."

"Of course. The resemblance is that it's obstinate. Neither did she, neither did I."

"... no, what are you talking about, you"

A thin, long finger grabbed the chewing cigarette from my lips.

What the fuck? That's my lifeline.

You wouldn't even want to taste it, Eldis glanced at me again after lightly aligning her lips with the chewing cigarette.

"You heard me. I said I was stubborn, Rugis."

What is obstinate? Where did the marshal go?

Perhaps it was the result of the influence of the demon Drigman, Eldis, the real thing that resumed after returning to the Wang capital, haunted a different air somewhere than at any time.

Not the menacing look I know, like former hero Eldis. Or Eldis, the queen of this day and age.

She was showing some flaccid appearance.

"Because you like it so much, we're all gonna be stubborn. Sooner or later, you'll be eating a painful cliche. I'm not gonna like it."

Saying, Eldis keeps his body as it falls from his back.

I didn't even think I had anaemia. I offered both hands, but apparently he wanted to sit on his knees. I was too bad to know.

When delivered on his knees, Eldis' body looks much smaller than he was feeling.

Were you wearing colored glasses back in the day, or was your majesty as a queen making her look big? Actually, she's small enough to fit lightly in my arms.

"... insistent, insistent. If that's the case now, then it won't. The great demon Zebrellis is on the move. The Archdiocesan Army also began to enliven the movement. Encouraging hostility to us. Leave me alone and I'll be terrible."

The Archdiocesan Army naturally adds 50,000 Garrist Regular soldiers. Avoid the demon battle, and a whole bunch of warm troops could hit us. The Catholic Church itself lists the Zebrellis crusade, but I don't know how that goes either.

According to what Ann told me, the great demon Zebrellis was slowly continuing south even at this time, eating everything.

And livestock, and men, and grass, and rocks, and houses, and buildings, and everything they eat. As a result, Zebrellis continues to become more and more enlarged.

Like Vrilligant, it's not like he was asleep. Overlapping bulimia, magic would be like twelve minutes. It breaks bones just to find countermeasures.

And about that sexually evil woman, Altia. I just don't think I'm going to march. I'm sure they'll be putting in the plants.

"We have to take action. I bet you are."

Eldis waves her lips as she turns around, on her knees.

"Huh. I wonder what that's for, Rugis. It's for humanity. Or..."

- Is it for your sweet childhood taming?

Moments, eyes open. My heart palpitated hard.

Without intent, words get jammed. I didn't know what words Eldis wanted.

No, in the first place, how does she know about Arueno? I don't think I ever told her that kind of story.

Erdis flips his attitude around on his knees and turns back to me. He even had a laugh on his cheek, but his eyes were never laughing.

"Rugis. Me, and them. It's not as long or as ignorant as you think. You seem to really like hiding things. [M] Needless to say, we jump too. The more you like it, the bigger the recoil, naturally, right?

Long arms tangled around my neck. It's like holding him and keeping his body with him.

I was beginning to understand what Eldis was trying to say.

But I can't get my head around it well. Maybe I didn't want to understand.

"... Stuck, you want to say this? Don't imitate yourself. Something like Mattia."

- Are you talking about other women in front of me?

Binoculars narrow openly and lose light. Both arms wrapped around his neck felt slightly strangled.

Tastes bad. Obviously Eldis has a different vibe today.

There's no such thing as sniffing. It wasn't like that. She's just forcing herself into a quiet boiling rage.

So the elf's passion is not as gentle as a human being.

"What I'm trying to say is. You're allowed to do whatever you want because you're allowing us to do whatever we want. Me, too, huh?

Eldis' words are very gentle, but his voice tone is lower than ever. A blue-eye staring straight at me said he wouldn't let me get away with it.

No, actually, I don't think she was willing to let me get away with it.

Erdis rang his throat once and took a few seconds in between.

"Well, you want to get rid of Zebrellis and get rid of both demons. Then, of course, I can help. It's my knight's word. [M] Being Marshal of the Garrist Kingdom doesn't change that. But are you really my knight?

"... what does that mean?"

Her face is getting closer to mine. It was no longer a distance where we could feel each other exhale.

"I would have done this before. I repeat, that makes sense. Don't snort when you hear I'm a knight. That's what you say you are, my knight, of your own free will. I don't mind if I can't tell you. I don't know what's gonna happen next."

It is obstinate. That's what I said. I gave her an unspoken look, and Eldis pointed her lips.

This is her mansion, where the elves live. That's why I thought Garrist humans couldn't come in.

That also means there's no help coming for me.

Something cold ran down my spine. Eldis is in his ear, whispering the words he needs to say.

My lips opened slowly.

"... I am the knight of Finn-Eldis. Definitely."

The moment I said it, I had a little pain in the back of my chest. Something makes a sound. I don't know what that is. No further changes were made to the body.

Only Bigeye is happily shaking it in front of me.

"I'm relieved, Rugis. Good, then I can help you. I'm just running around, that's why I won't be able to. Let's talk to Mattia and Philos. If I were with them, they wouldn't say they're impotent. You should call other people, including Ann."

That is certainly comforting. It should be.

I wonder why. Oddly enough, Eldis' words were accepted lightly into my chest. Until earlier, I thought you'd give the marshal a break.

No, in fact, if you're going to do anything to act as a hero instead of Hert-Stanley, I know you should move the army however you want.

But there must still have been some unacceptable parts.

I warped my cheek and said it unexpectedly.

"Eldis - you, you would have done something to me"

"- I told you it makes sense to repeat it, didn't I?

My cheeks are crunchy and my cheeks are paralyzed. As always, in front of her, Her Majesty was laughing with pleasure.
