In the end, skirmishes at the border with Sacramento ended as skirmishes.

They didn't intend to take care of both countries, and this story ended without a state of war.

I am concerned about the trend of that older man, who is probably also a setup man, but it is also necessary to follow a snake and put out a snake.

Leaving aside the adult circumstances under the water, as far as I'm concerned, I'm happy that my routine is back.

"Um, I'm angry...?

- I was atrophied in front of Maria in the office where I came back to the capital and visited the report.

"Oh, did Lord Alice do anything to make you angry?

Oh, my God, do you have a smile?

Scary people, aren't they?

I couldn't help but lie, so I reported what happened at the border.

That I caught Leonil and Raimia.

And - that I freed myself.

And about Eclair...

From Maria, who keeps Wilmington, I can't help but be angry.

"Looking only at objective facts, we destroy enemy generals in the vanguard of our army, which was a disadvantage. Destroy the opponent's general class enemies as well. We held back the damage to our troops and drove them to retreat."

Pong, and Maria aligned their hands in front of their chests.

"Medal, do you want it?

"Yes, no, I resign..."

Sounds like you're not really mad at me for now.

But if it fits any deeper, it's awkward...

"It's a shame. Ugh, but even if you let it work for free, the name of the Principality is broken. In the form of a request from me, you'll be rewarded."

Uh-huh?

That's about it, thank you?

Money, it's important.

"Well, don't hesitate"

"So how about five million rupees?

"Hiya!?

Five million luke!!?

and thats enough...... five white gold coins!?

What forehead!?

"That, you know, I feel too much......!

"Lord Alice doesn't seem to understand what you've done, does he? It stopped the war, saved the lives of soldiers and brought victory to our country. Thinking about that profit, I think it's cheap stuff?

If you ask me that, I feel that way too...

No, Maria has a good mouth, so you can't even be incited!

"Eh, at least with one white gold coin!

"No, that's cheap. Four."

"If it's two, I can handle it!

"You can only give up to three sheets"

Or what is this!?

Instead of pricing things, it's a strange thing to price rewards from yourself!

"Uh-huh."

"If you roar so cute, you won't lower it any further, will you?

And Maria looked at me with an unspoken smile.

So, no...

"OK... thank you very much, really..."

"Ugh, yes"

I'm getting rich...

"Oh, and we've got a mansion in the capital, so use it when you stay"

"What?"

"Lord Alice is many of you, so without one or two of the mansions, it would be inconvenient, wouldn't it?

Funny, I just paid off the reward, and you're trying to crumble something bigger, right?

"Um... I'm not a nobleman, am I?

"Huh?"

"Huh!?

What, that surprise reacted!?

I thought I made a mistake and this one surprised me!?

"Well, don't worry about the details."

It's not fine, is it?

It's not fine to be generously presented with the mansion or anything!

"More than that, Lord Alice"

"... you mean that?

That's what this story is about to get streamed...

"Your friend is waiting for you, isn't he?

Ms. Maria stood up and looked down at the courtyard, visible through the office window.

Later, I thought, it was an exquisite switch of topics.

I was in a hurry with that one word, and I popped out of the office - and he said he was in the process of getting the mansion.

Marianna Houston, I can...

"Eclair, what's wrong? That eye! What's wrong with the necklace!?

When I went down to the courtyard, I was surprised at how Eclair behaved.

Eclair is meditating on her left eye and showing off her red eyes to me.

The Devil's Eye Sealed Necklace is a loot I did from Raimia.

Why didn't you put that on!?

"Well, well, Alice. Deep breaths. Deep breaths."

"Eclair, bye!?

"Pimp."

She looked like a prank and opened her left eye.

- Silver eyes.

"... who are you?

"-Estria. Can I call you Est?

The vibe is totally different, because it looks eclair...

Uh-huh, well, okay.

"Mr. Est... you don't take over about Eclair, do you?

"Haha! Don't worry, you can't do that. Because this girl is my pretty apprentice."

So this guy is Eclair's master?

I mean...... Magic Flame!!

"I need to talk to you, it's not here... well, let's go somewhere quiet, shall we?

"Oh, yes."

and follow Mr. Est as he is invited.

And I came to a quiet place.

Specifically somewhere, it is on the lake.

That's the capital of water.

Rent a boat and row the boat across the street from Mr. Est.

You can't let Lady do that without me rowing, can you?

"Phew, phew"

I'm not wrong, yeah, I'm not wrong about anything.

"It's okay, Alice? Change?"

"Fine! Why, why... I can't let a girl do such a hard job!

"That's weird, kid."

Because that's my pride!

Some distance from the shore, he finally rested his hands where he came in the middle of the lake.

Tired.

.................. tired, tired.

"Want a drink?"

"Thank you, thank you..."

Get a water bottle and drink water.

"I drank it earlier."

"Ooh! Keho, keho!

"Haha, Alice, it's funny ~"

"... So, what's the story?

You shouldn't keep up with this pace...

"Yeah, I thought I'd tell you a little bit about the Devil's Eye."

That said, Mr. Est pointed to his right eye.

Right eye shining in red.

But even when I'm face-to-face, I don't feel aggressive magic.

... you mean you're in control, right?

"The Devil's Eye of this child is born. Gemstone Demon's Eye"

I've been having a hard time because of that, and Mr. Est laughs bitterly.

"I think Alice has figured out the effect of this, too. - Past view."

"Yes."

Past view.

That's a hell of a force.

To be clear, Eclair has not been able to draw on that power at all.

A demonic eye that can 'see' and reproduce all past events.

Tell you what, it's everything.

Cheats are good too.

"Really, there was a lot going on. Because of so much power...... so keep him company, huh?

"Of course it is."

... because I'm your best friend!

Mr. Est laughed gently.

"This demonic eye sees all past events. I see things I don't need to see, and Eclair still can't control the flow of that information herself. I peek past people's consciousness and mix my consciousness up, and I don't know who it is. This is the most dangerous. Because Eclair will disappear."

I see...... so you were losing yourself so much.

"So, here's the real deal"

I was foreshadowed, so I nodded correctly at my residence.

"I want to leave the seal of the devil's eye with Alice."

"... Huh?

Deposit the seal?

You mean I'll replace the necklace?

"It's not safe to rely on a necklace. This is a good example. That's why I want Alice to take care of this devil's eye."

"Can you... can you do that?

Mr. Est nodded at me in surprise, pointing to my left hand.

"That, that ring. The Ring of Pledges"

"This ring?

Pledge?

Wasn't it just a ring that would enhance your magical powers?

"Yes, with that, one or two of the demon eye seals, it'll be fine"

"Heh?"

"... at the time of equipping, the qualities are impeccable."

As I admired the ring and watched, Mr. Est whispered.

"I guess that's my enemy's apprentice! That's a lot to do! haha!

- Right.

This guy, he knows Till, right?

……

... Oh, yeah?

"... you know, a view of the past... can a living person also see it?

I thought of it, and I asked a question.

- I regretted it.

To that question, Mr. Est said nothing - he responded with a very calm smile.

――

Liar......

Did Till know?

Till had noticed who the Devil's Eye was.

On top of that, I'm meeting Mr. Est on the battlefield...... Mr. Est from Past Vision.

I mean... I know, right...?

"Oh no..."

"... you're a sweet girl. But you don't have to be sad. Me and Till are grown-ups."

"Being an adult doesn't make me sad anymore..."

"Oh well... maybe so"

Mr. Est laughed like he was in trouble.

"I want to entrust it to you because you're such an Alice. I want you to stand by her side."

To the words, snort strongly.

"... I swear by the ice, snow and demon flames, I will support Eclair."

"... thanks"

You can't beat the bond between the two of us, enough to reassure us, let's be two fine people, eh, Eclair?

- So, Mr. Est looked up at the sky.

Looks dazzling, very, dazzling.

"- Goodbye."

No one, I don't know what that means, and Mr. Est shrugged.

"... please, Alice. Put your prayers in the ring, will you?

Saying so like a prank, Mr. Est closed his eyes and pointed at his right lid.

I don't feel like I'm being lied to with wonder, or evil.

It even seems like a sacred thing.

"Yes."

When I could pray as I was told, the ring glowed with a pale, silver light.

Look at that - I slowly mouthed Mr. Est's right lid.

The light enveloped Mr. Est, and eventually, it disappeared.

Stay away and see how it goes.

After a while, the color of those eyes, which slowly opened their eyes - both eyes, clear as a clear sky, water color.

"Eclair......"

"... don't look disgusting, Alice. My master is always in Eclair."

"Yeah, right"

"That's right."

The smile of Eclair, who laughs brightly to encourage this one, remains the impression of the first time we met, the smile of the sun.

Such an invigorating smile when you look at it.

"Girl, you're strong"

I laugh bitterly.

I'm going to support it, but I wonder if it's supported.

But it is supported and such a relationship is preferable.

"... you're so cool here sometimes."

Hmm, and Eclair is adorable to say that while she snorts and dyes her cheeks.

Something's soothing.

In the middle of the lake, quiet, alone.

"... is this a date?

"Become!?

I noticed.

"What are you talking about, stupid! This is why the elves...!

"Yes!? Is it racist!?

"No, you're not, you're a natural! Racially, humanly!

Irrational!

"Even Eclair will seduce you about me with such adorable octave teeth!

"This is only a physical trait, isn't it!?

"Because something. That's so cute!

"Are you stupid!? Are you an idiot?

"Your mother said you shouldn't be stupid about people!

"Ahhh, yeah, I did!

What do you care about heating up, rubbing your forehead and pressing each other?

"Grunt, Eclair's meanness!

"Alice's, hobby!

- I'm relieved.

Really, my tear glands unwittingly loosened as I wanted to be able to do such a stupid thing with Eclair.

Sometimes, when you feel nothing, important time, don't you feel like crying asexually?

I'm ashamed, exactly, that now decimated my tear glands.

"What... you're crying, Alice"

"You're the one who's lurking."

"You got me..."

"Eclair is the fool...... he's a big fool"

"What... I'm sorry, really"

We're both already crying a lot without hiding.

We're immature.

Because even Till and Est are worlds where they don't know what will happen.

The two of us, we want to be strong.

"Don't make me worry... if you're a competitor"

"Ok, ok, ok..."

"Promise, is it...?

"Yeah, I promise..."

Soon, the two of us will hug each other.

――

――

From neither - - - - - I kissed him.

Just a little, it tasted like tears.
