Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

After the reflection meeting on the Nigata battle, Rion was also going to have two people, including Eriel and Charlotte. Since it was my first time in the city, I didn't have to choose a store, but before the battle, I had to check in advance for a restaurant that was known to be delicious and made a reservation.

It's a little joke like Leon. It also has a little performance to make the soldiers believe they can win.

But when he came to the store, Rion had a difficult face and was always thinking about something. The atmosphere of a celebration of the victory is not at all. The meals lined up in front of me remain almost untouched.

"... Hey, what are you thinking about earlier?"

This is not the case with Charlotte, who is used to Aeriel. He spoke to Lion with a frustrated voice. After the fight, I thought I could have a little private conversation, but this is the situation. I couldn't stand it.

"A selfish woman hates Rion?"

Eriel said to Charlotte: Charlotte, who was told which mouth said it, could not.

"I'm selfish. I just wanted to talk a little bit."

"Yes, but Bandou is still poor."

"... Suddenly what?"

Charlotte is embarrassed by the story of Eriel, who has no connection at all.

"You say you can't afford the concubine."

Aeriel smiled at Charlotte and said nothing out of the ordinary.

"... That's not the case. I don't mean to talk to Rion for that."

"Oh? I don't mean you."

“…………”

It was Charlotte, who was being beaten by younger Airiel.

"... Charlotte"

Rion talked to Charlotte without any notice of the conversation. He didn't care, he concentrated on thinking and didn't hear.

"Oh, what is it?"

Charlotte replies as if flipped. He realizes that she is squinting and staring, but ignores her glance straight at Rion.

"That woman said that both the demon and the demon were getting stronger little by little, right?"

"... Yes, that's right."

Charlotte turns into a dissatisfied face, knowing that it is Maria's story.

"Did you say anything about this monster?"

"I was surprised. It seemed to be a strong monster unexpectedly."

"That's right ... It's a long way to go after the defeat of the devil, right?"

"It's just a boring question. I don't want to talk with Rion. If you ask the same question, listen to me."

"eh?"

Rion is puzzled by Charlotte's selfish attitude for the first time. On the other hand, Aeriel is closing her mouth with a really fun look. He is making fun of Charlotte with the appeal that laughter will not be suppressed otherwise.

"... Um"

Charlotte's head is pure white. I have no idea what I am doing.

"What should I hear from Charlotte?"

"No, no, nothing. That woman's story. Yes, he said that."

"Is that so……"

"Hey, can you tell me what you care about?"

"Oh, yes. I think early in the early days, there are many demons and the quality is high."

"Is that so?"

In the actual battle, Rion was dissatisfied but could be said to be a complete victory. Charlotte didn't think that Rion was thinking this way out of the results.

"I thought that this kind of thing would happen, but it was a little more than I imagined. If the number of monsters alone increased in this way, what would happen to the later one? Hundreds of thousands of enemies If it were a monster, it would be tough. ''

Enemies become stronger with the strength of Maria, the main character. This also assumed Rion. However, I feel that there are too many from the beginning.

"Yes, but I don't know that."

"Is that so?-Do you know that woman?-You don't seem to know."

It's a question that's because Rion knows that the devil is a game event. If you think of it as a game, the enemy should gradually become stronger. There is no mistake because Maria also says this. However, Rion is wondering if Maria could be stronger in proportion. Leon knows that there is no level up in this world. The only way to become stronger is to repeatedly train.

"... Why do you think so?"

Charlotte has no idea what Leon is thinking. Maria didn't tell anyone that it was a game.

"Somehow, but you haven't dreamed of failing, right?"

"Yes. That's what I feel."

"Are there any odds or nothing?"

Maria with game knowledge. It is possible to have something trumps unknown to Rion. But what if you don't have one? Maria's bad end is what he wants, but it's a pity that he and Aeriel get involved.

"I'm sorry. Is it a little better?"

"Arnold?"

Charlotte is surprised at the sudden appearance of Prince Arnold. I told him where the store was, but I didn't expect it to come.

"... what is it for?"

Leon was actually aware. He noticed, but he pretended not to know. If possible, hesitated to call out and hoped to return, but it was impossible.

"Aeriel, no, I want to talk a little with my wife."

"……here you go"

Listening to Prince Arnold's words, Rion frowns. Even now, even in this situation, Prince Arnold's intention to talk to Eriel has not been grasped.

"If possible, alone"

"Huh?"

A further word came out of Prince Arnold's mouth. Rion is not hesitant to turn his face toward Prince Arnold.

"Oh no, don't get me wrong. It's a serious story. It's a story I just want to hear from the back."

Prince Arnold also knows what Leon is thinking. He talked about solving Leon's misunderstanding.

"... I can talk only seriously, but only with two people?"

"Now, it's time to talk to you."

"I see ... I can't complain if Airiel is good. But make sure you can see it."

With some thought, Rion confessed. I thought that there was no Prince Arnold with a personality that asked him from the front.

"what about?"

In response to Leon's words, Prince Arnold turned to Aeriel.

"Yes.

Airiel responds immediately. So far, I'm wondering what Prince Arnold will say.

"So ... at that table"

Prince Arnold pointed at a table a little far away in the cafeteria. I can't hear her voice, but she's barely visible. It is a position according to conditions.

Aeriel also stands after Prince Arnold, who walks first. They sat down facing the table.

"Is your position reversed?"

Charlotte, looking at the situation, smiled a bit mean and talked to Leon.

"position?"

"Contrary to when I was at the academy, Rion was in a position to bake Yakimochi, right?"

Charlotte dared to bring such a story because he remembered that he and Rion once talked about Prince Arnold's feelings.

"Ah. Speaking of which, did you talk about that before?"

Rion also remembered the past event. It is not a pleasant memory for Leon. It was an event that prompted me to stay away from Aeriel.

"How about? Did you feel a little?"

"No, there's no Yakimochi. I'm just worried about something going on."

"……so"

Even after a little talk, Rion's feelings for Prince Arnold remain the same. Knowing that, Charlotte looks a little disappointed.

"Isn't Charlotte really worried?"

"I'm fine. I don't think anything anymore."

"Is that so?"

This fact was new. Rion, on the contrary, thought that Charlotte was on his side for Prince Arnold.

"Yes, I feel sorry for what I did, but honestly it is."

"Oh, I understand!"

"What?

Charlotte was surprised that his chest was loud.

"Well, now you have another favorite person?"

Rion happily asks a question. Charlotte laughed at this.

"... Yeah, but a very insensitive person."

That made me realize my feelings clearly. I'm frustrated by Rion who doesn't notice my feelings.

"Well, that's hard."

"... as usual"

If you approve of your feelings, Rion's insensitivity becomes unbearable and sad.

"What? What?"

"I don't know anymore!"

"Eh, eh? What? Did you do anything to offend you?"

"Yes, I did something really bad."

"... I have no idea."

"It's terrible. Indeed, you are stupid."

"……why?"

"And I'm stupid too"

Charlotte knew that this kind of feeling was in me, like Leon. However, he never realized that he had liked him.

Then, there comes a feeling of why I would pursue a love that won't come true. I can't imagine Leon turning to women other than Eriel. I like Charlotte for that one-stop thing.

"I'm stupid."

"... Yes, I'm the same as Rion."

Still, I think this moment is fun. That was great for Charlotte. I can't be the best. But Charlotte seemed to be sure that Leon was the only woman to talk to him outside of Eriel.

I can't say that this is a convenient misconception for myself because I think about my partner. The appearance of the two talking to each other makes them feel like they are fighting in a fairy tale and smiles.

And there are those who are displeased when they look like that. Airiel.

"Oh, that's right, I'll talk right away."

Prince Arnold knows what makes Aeriel grumpy. That's right. Aeriel is staring at Rion and Charlotte.

"... So what is the story?"

Airiel, who wants to return to his seat early, is welcome to finish the discussion early. I decided to cooperate positively.

"... It's been a long time to meet like this."

"Is that for you?"

Aeriel's gaze becomes tight for a moment. I don't want any unnecessary talk.

"Oh no, let's relax a little before we get into the story."

"Do you really think that the Crown Prince really feels relaxed in old tales?"

"No ... just because it's not irrelevant."

"... I see."

If they talk, they only have the past. Airiel decided to keep his grumpy.

"Are you grudged?"

"... How do I answer?"

Even a hated partner is a prince. In the current position of a noble family in the kingdom, it is not a question that can be answered in the true heart.

"It's not the question of the prince.

Prince Arnold tries to hear Aeriel's true intentions, but cannot speak well. When it happens, it's hard to talk.

"It would be helpful if I could talk more clearly."

Aeriel wants to end the story. There is no time to get lost in Prince Arnold's feelings.

"... That's right. The story from now on is about the prince of this country. It's a story that I shouldn't talk about as an individual."

"Requirements"

"Oh, I was remorseful and did the right thing, so I can't say forgive me, but I want you to think a bit about involving Lion."

"... is it involved?"

Airiel does not have that feeling. This alone did not understand what Prince Arnold wanted to say.

"Is it unfortunate that Rion will be trapping his talent in a grudge against me?"

"……eh?"

A word I never thought of. Aeriel took some time to understand the meaning of Prince Arnold's words. But I understood what Prince Arnold wanted to say. I'm not convinced.

"I think Leon is talented."

"I know that, but don't you think you're using talent in the wrong direction?"

"Direction ... what do you think is wrong?"

The direction is hard to say from Eriel's mouth. Eriel decided to see how Prince Arnold was thinking.

"In this fight, too, we're not asking for a fight, we're giving priority to not letting us do it. If you do, Rion will never really serve the kingdom. After all, the next king is me. "

“…………”

Although it is a chart star, Aeriel also thinks that if you act together, you will understand this much. No surprise, but no answer.

"Would you like to gain strength in this case and use it for revenge on me? But doing so will cause Rion to lose everything.

"... I see."

Even if he could kill the prince, he would then turn the kingdom into an enemy. Both Rion and Aeriel are prepared, but once again, when talking about Rion instead of herself, Ayriel's feelings are shaken a little.

Prince Arnold's words continue to push Eriel's emotions in a different direction.

"Don't be angry and listen. Does Vincent want it?"

"... I don't know what your brother thinks!"

Aeriel stands up and looks at Prince Arnold. Even if you are told not to get angry, there is no reason to suppress your emotions. Prince Arnold, the man who drove Vincent to death, is not a good line to say.

"I'm sorry, but ask me a little more. I've been thinking about that for a long time. Not only myself, but also Vincent."

"……So what?"

"Vincent didn't try to escape. It's due to loyalty to the kingdom, but I don't think it's just that."

"... Please talk"

Although his anger has not subsided, Eriel sits down on a chair. Aeriel was not told of details about Vincent's death. I think it's an opportunity to listen.

"I'm thinking like this, didn't Vincent want to free Rion?"

"eh?"

"Lion would probably have escaped that place, but then Rion would use his whole life to flee Vincent. Vincent would not want to do that. ? "

"Brother ..."

Aeriel has to admit that, despite the words of the hatred Prince Arnold, it's a Vincent idea. That's why Eriel loves Vincent, and Rion has served Vincent sincerely.

Prince Arnold's words tell the truth. As soon as I thought so, tears overflowed from the eyes of Eriel. These tears are born from sad, nostalgic, happy, and mysterious emotions.

"Let me say again, don't you think that using life for revenge on me is what Vincent wants?"

“…………”

This time, the feeling of anger did not come out. That's not the case. To be honest, revenge on Prince Arnold is far less in Eriel. This is not to say that his resentment has disappeared, but that he knew that Leon might be the younger brother of Queen Arnold, the younger brother of Prince Arnold. If true, Rion is trying to kill her brother. Eriel doesn't want that to happen.

But revenge isn't just with Prince Arnold. Maria, Lancelot, and Elwin are two revenge opponents. There is no reason to discourage revenge on these three, and if you try to revenge on them, you will still turn the kingdom to the enemy.

"I'm not looking for an answer right now. Just think a little."

"... yeah"

"I see ... good."

For the time being, Prince Arnold is relieved, just as Eriel promises to think. That's why I was nervous about telling Eriel this. Prince Arnold knew that without his position, it would not be a good story from his own mouth.

At last, Prince Arnold's facial expression was loosened, but his expression quickly turned into something he had taken.

"Is talking about making your wife cry? I can't tell you that."

He barely uses honorifics, but kills out from Rion's body.

"No, no, not. I didn't make you cry."

"Who is there besides you? Would you explain first? Why did you make Airiel cry?"

"So no, maybe I could have made you cry because I talked, but I thought of you."

"You don't have to think. I think about myself."

"... oh, think about it. Sometimes, not for people, but for yourself."

"eh?"

Prince Arnold's words seemed to completely hit Leon's surprise, and the killing that had been released from him was spilling at once.

"I think life is good for people, but I think there is a life for myself. I want you to think about this once. This is what I told Eriel."

"... Huh"

"Then I'm done. And tomorrow, no, if I could talk next, would it be a royal city? At that time."

Finally, Prince Arnold went out of the cafeteria, saying: As a lion, he felt escaped without knowing what was.

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, it was like a sermon. Do you want a younger brother?"

Aeriel tries to smell the truth casually.

"Huh? と し て Even so, wouldn't it be strange to choose me for it?"

However, insensitive Leon cannot notice anything at this level. Rion's insensitivity to himself is a bit of a talent. Because of this, those around you who came to know Rion well will care about Rion if you do something. Being out of control and being insensitive. Fear, charm and duality were Rion's greatest attraction.
