Day 2446
Today is a special day for customers to come.
Earlier, your father offered you the utmost hospitality, and though he said so, I made the mistake of getting the name of the first person I met wrong.
How, how, how, even though my first impression was important, I stumbled upon it in the first step. Him - I don't know what face to see Mr. Usato.
But I can't do this all the time.
Mr. Usato has been waiting for me outside. This is how you cage in your room right now and spell out your anxiety doesn't change anything.
Do not coarsely phase.
Don't make mistakes.
I have to entertain you.
About him.
You have to know it well.
I'm so happy right now.
Because Mr. Usato will stay here for a little while longer. I was always anxious because the people who came here would be home soon.
He is so funny, an amazing guy who can keep exercising for hours after a meal. And I'm so glad Eiri and I got along soon.
It's going to be fruitful to me for a few days from today.
But maybe there's some anxiety that we'll leave here when we're asleep.
Let's go see his room before the sun comes out and brightens up.
Early sleep and getting up early are important, so there shouldn't be any problems.
So, it's been a great day.
Good night.
Day 2447
It was the usual day because Mr. Usato had gone towards the castle for half the day.
No, it wasn't always the same.
I went to see Usato's room before the sun came out today, and Usato wasn't there.
Seeing a beautifully appointed bed and an idle room, I thought of the worst.
Liar, on my own, those words were spinning around in my head, and I jumped out in a hurry - what a morning training Mr. Usato was doing early this morning!
Damn, I was mistaken for running away, but he was right there.
He was not a liar.
The look on his face when he saw me was badly faded but I guess that was because he was frozen in the morning cold. What an odd person to be waking up early and moving your body on such a cold morning.
After that, Mr. Usato went to the castle, as I wrote first.
I cleaned the house, I cleaned the garden, I cleaned the pond, I took care of the flower beds, I polished my mother's grave, and I sent the usual routine.
Was Mr. Usato home around the sun leaning slightly from the top?
If you ask, Mr. Usato seemed to be checking the cheapness of the fellow visitors to Samarial with him. He had a soothing look on his face, so maybe he was okay.
If it was good, I suggested that if those people would come too... Mr. Usato waving his hands wide aside, bluishing his face as soon as possible, okay, okay.
How could they say no?
I thought I'd give you more hospitality than I do now.
So, it's been a great day.
Good night.
Day 2448
Today was the day the house was cleaner than usual.
Like yesterday, Mr. Usato asked me, after training in the early morning, "Is there anything I can do?"
I didn't think I could let him, the customer, do that... but Ali asked me to help clean this place with him.
... On second thought, it was my first time with anyone but Ali because I only cleaned with one person at all times.
I just realized at the time I was writing this diary that I had become quite happy with the behavior of being with someone at that time, so I never came to that thought.
But I disagreed with Ms Usato's suggestion that we "share and clean".
I thought it would be better if we all cleaned the same place at a time like this.
For some reason, I felt like there was no light in Mr. Usato's eyes, but I'm sure he'd be fine because he said he wouldn't worry.
Looking at him, every day is kind of different and fun.
I was wondering if you could stay here more.
So, it's been a great day.
Good night.
●
Three days have passed since my visit to the castle of Samariar.
Meanwhile, I interviewed Lucas to make sure they were safe, but when I asked, I heard that there was one man and two girls staying at the inn, so I was relieved to know that Amako and Nair were safe.
But on the other hand, over the past three days I have been wearing out in many ways.
Wherever you are in this junction, you feel her gaze. It's a place that's never huge, so it might not help either, but, uh, if you turn around, you're hiding in the shadows of a tree or house, and you're staring at this one.
I don't know how many times I've faded to the sight that makes me want to scratch, and most importantly, I can't say anything because my eyes on this girl's me are like those of an innocent child who can't feel any malice or anything.
"Huh."
Fourth morning.
I was out to do my routine. [M]
I was trying to take a light, deep breath and do the street menu at all times as I looked up at the sky that had been white, but the only thing that would confirm behind me was that the presence of her had become lightly frightened in the past three days.
She shudders - no, do you even say she doesn't exist?
It wasn't normal for me to be taken behind the signs again and again, although it was the first time I was cleaned up with a word of my own fault.
"... who the hell is she..."
Sick or not?
For once, I tried applying normal healing magic, although it was a waste of gloves, but nothing worked. I'm pretty sure it's not from outside things like injuries.
Is the possibility of remaining something inside, like a disease, from yet another circumstance….
"Try strengthening the pedigree first... no, you can't"
I'm not completely capable of strengthening my system yet. [M] You shouldn't use it within the danger of a magic outburst.
Walk in the garden with ideas on what to do.
Then, at the end of his gaze - he realizes that someone is sitting in front of that place where there is a white stone tablet.
"... Eva?"
No, you're bigger than her. So you're Eiri...?
I don't see it very well because the mornings are standing in, so I'll just get closer. A little closer, the figure sitting in front of that stone tablet looks clear.
The man who was sitting in a hush in front of the stone tablet - he did not hesitate to put his sumptuous robe on the ground and pointed a gentle grin at the unspeakable stone tablet.
"Master Lucas?"
"Hmm? Oh, Usat. You're early."
"Ha..."
Lucas Uld Samarial, king of Samarial.
Turning this way, he spoke to this one in a casual manner.
"What's wrong? Early this morning."
"Kingslayer, if you don't wake up sooner than anybody, you can't show it - it's before the building, and I can't afford to be here during the day, so this is how I'm here."
That's what I say. I see the stone tablet, Master Lucas.
For the past three days, I couldn't help but ask, what is this stone tablet?
I know it's important because Eva was polishing it like it mattered.
You perceived my doubt, and Master Lucas slowly opened his mouth as he turned his gaze from the stone tablet to this way.
"This... is the tomb of my wife, Eliza Uld Samarial"
"Tomb..."
"Even so, there's nobody in here. This tomb is at least like a comfort to my self and to that girl who doesn't know her mother exists."
With a grin to mock himself, Master Lucas reaches out to the grave and hands on the glossy surface.
The surface of the bright white tomb is surprisingly smooth and I don't see any irregularities.
"There was a carving of her name here."
"It was carved...? But nothing..."
"Hey, I went out of my way to call in a sculptor from my neighbor, and he carved me beautifully.... When she does, she polishes it like it's important every day, so look, it's shredded and I can't see her name."
"Every day, is it?"
"Yes, every day. I have been polishing Eliza's grave indispensably for ten years since I was five..."
Is that why I was polishing it so important?
Besides, it's been indispensable for a day for ten years, enough for the carved letters to shred and crush......
"Somehow, you know, healthy..."
"Hahaha, I know you're choosing words. Honestly, it's heavy."
No, I did think so, but there's no way you could say something like my daughter's pussy in front of her father.
Master Lucas, who looked at me silently and seemed amused, looks up at the brightening sky and groans, "Yes," he looks here.
"I was making you breakfast. Would you like to join me?"
"... er"
I don't know, Eiri's supposed to make me breakfast, and most importantly, I was just thinking about doing some morning muscle tresses. No, can you do it after eating rice if it's muscular?
Breakfast prepared by Master Lucas...... Aili's rice isn't a bad idea, but I'm tired of boulders being almost the same menu every time. I'm only about three days old and all I'm saying is that...
"Don't worry. The dishes that Cock makes you cook are normal."
"Let's go with joy"
"Good personality, you are."
Lady Lucas, bitterly smiling at me for responding instantly, looks behind me when she pays the dirt on her stand up robe.
"Well, is that all right? Eva?"
"What?"
Turn around with his words and there's Eva staring at the familiar white hair and this one from the slightly open back door.
When she smiles happily at Master Lucas's words, she snorts and waves.
Since what time? - No, I'm used to it. He's really a kid with no sign. When I get here, I suspect I'm using some kind of magic.
"Much, - you've become..."
"Huh?"
"Mm, it's nothing. Come on, you got the princess's permission. Let's get moving."
"Ha ha..."
Dear Lucas, who walked out in a direction with a curly exit of junction.
I overheard it. It was me, but that word I heard slightly earlier...
"Kiku, Haku?"
Kihaku...... temperament, no rarity?
The words, and the bitter look on Lucas's face, made me remember an unspoken hook, but I followed him ahead.
●
The breakfast that Master Lucas had made available was normal in addition to his thoughts.
Nor did it mean that there was a line of plates with food sloppily placed on a long table, as we often see in movies and such, but only the amount of food needed for a table of normal size was available.
But all that the king eats, the tables, the plates, even the forks, seemed expensive, and when it comes to cooking, it was enough to make it even the most luxurious breakfast I've ever had in this world.
Other than me sitting in the seat across the street from Master Lucas, there are just a few knights standing between the walls with a single watch and thought, and no one else.
Early in the morning I couldn't help but overestimate the possibility of assassinations and kidnappings.
"Um, is it okay if there are so few people watching?"
"You think you're gonna hurt me?"
"No, that's impossible..."
"Then don't worry about it. If you're more vigilant than you need to be, you have nothing to trust. Besides, the knights here are brilliant. I wouldn't even think about assassinating you by mistake. I won't let you................ right, you're okay?"
What do you do when you get anxious from beside what I said?
I turned to the knight standing on the wall, and that's what I asked, Master Lucas. The knights all have a troubled look on their faces.
Frank places like this are different from kings of the kingdom of Ringle, too.
"So, how about three days over there?"
"... I'm having a great time. Your daughter has helped me a lot."
Answer Master Lucas's question with a loving laugh.
I'm not lying. It is true that she is being helped to take care of you in a worthy way.
"Ma, there's something about that kid that's a little overdone, but it doesn't change anything healthy. No, but I didn't think you'd keep it for three days. If you don't like it, I was just going to make you stay at the castle."
"... what? Did you make me stay over there thinking about making noises?"
"Ha."
Don't laugh and delude me......
"You don't need to change now, do you?"
"Yes, I do."
"Then why don't you? Are you sure he's not here? He who understands the abnormality of the child still tries to live with him. He wielded common sense, creeped that kid in contact with insanity, and everyone fled..."
Swinging common sense and dealing with insanity - yeah, it fits so much as nothing more as a word to describe Eva.
I've been involved with lifeguards, seniors, and troublemakers in many ways, and I'm somewhat intolerant, so maybe I was okay.
But I wonder why Master Lucas tried to keep me from seeing Eva. No way, you wouldn't seem to be letting everyone you visit meet Eva.
"Why did you let me see her in the first place..."
"No, there's no reason like this. If you say so, I was hoping you'd marry your daughter and come to my country."
"Isn't the idea a little too forceful...?"
I was more willing to plan on fitting in than I thought...? You mean if there was one mistake, I would have gone straight to the graveyard of my life?
A man who says horrible things while eating breakfast with a face he doesn't eat.
"Say what. I was made king by the former king in that forceful way. [M] I didn't feel comfortable living then, but until this year, I was able to play king, so everything was fine. Besides, that kid looks just like Eliza when she was younger, somewhat similar to where she has difficulties with her personality, but she's nice, she's well-behaved and, above all, she's beautiful."
"I don't care what you say..."
You can't possibly do such a terrible thing.
Besides, there are similarities between the insignificant and the difficult parts of my personality... do you mean that I have inherited them too? Slightly, as Master Lucas was about to see something far away, he might have struggled in many ways as well.
But...
"I don't think you can ignore Eva's will, do you?"
Mine, too.
"I don't think it's a bad idea to offer my daughter to attract a talent named you."
"Giving it away, that's the way to say it..."
"Use everything you can. If that leads to the future of Samaritan in this kingdom, I don't mind being called the Outer Way."
That's why you wouldn't give away your own daughter or anything......
There are no shards of me willing to marry her in the first place. So is her willingness and her disregard, and I'm not willing to come here at the moment myself.
"Even slaves and beasts do. The tide of possession of slaves and incitement to hostility towards beasts is also like camouflage to avoid dissatisfaction with national politics, which is necessary for Samaritan, so I'm incorporating it - bad for you traveling with a beast girl."
……
"Oh, don't get mad at me. It was not the other me who instructed the people to hide in the inn so that they would not be exposed. I'm not trying to be a hostage. It's stupid of you to let them follow you with hostages, so it's a pain in the ass at some point."
I was suddenly told the story of Amako and stared at it.
Phew, exhale and calm down, pulling out the shoulder strength.
"Slaves are an excellent workforce, but I try to get them to follow the minimum rules in dealing with slaves in this country. I forbid all violence, unjust punishment, and excessive labor against slaves - if you see such a person, I try to have him arrested immediately."
"You don't think a slave would ever feel unhappy here?"
"I haven't said that much. They would be unhappy enough at a time when there was something like falling into slavery in the first place. - But, well... well, at least in my country, I want you to work without feeling unhappy."
In those words, Lucas reminded me of the slave and thoughtful boy I saw before I came here.
From him, who sat politely and waved an innocent grin at me, I didn't feel unhappy or anything like that.
I can't say for sure because I don't know this country yet or that kid better, but I'm starting to think that a country called Samarial is still a gentle country for slaves than I thought.
"Ha-ha-ha, well, I think it was honestly good, not what I imagined."
"As far as I'm concerned, I've always been afraid that you'd look at me with no expression. If I get run over by you, even Fegnis won't be able to stop me."
"Haha, that's too much to say"
"There's nothing but a nightmare about a little orga that keeps moving as long as the magic lasts. Besides, you can disable a knight almost instantly if you want to, right? I have no idea how many people to mobilize to capture you."
The way you deal with me feels like catching a completely violent demon. [M]
"Ha. Damn, what a monster. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I can't catch you! The boulder is the second rose!"
"Is that a compliment?"
"Of course!"
They subtly say a second rose or a monster, and I don't feel complimented at all.
Moreover, it is quite overrated. Even if a lot of knights attack me with boulders, I have no choice but to escape. When I really have to intercept you...... hmm, one healing punch at a time to stun you...... I guess? Because I don't have attack magic that works as extensively as my predecessors and Kazuki, so I have limited means.
"... you don't have any particular purpose for making me meet with Eva anyway?"
"Right. I thought it was awkward, but I knew it was impossible because of your personality, so it really felt like I let you see me somehow. As it turns out, I'm personally satisfied that Eva was able to make good memories."
"Memories......"
Tilt your neck to the words of Master Lucas, who breaks your expression.
This guy cares about Eva, I know that. But I'm still trying to give her to me, my dear daughter, to live in that union.
I was thinking about the possibility of curing her with healing magic or something for the reason that you let me see Eva, but that was different, too.
They don't think I can do this?
Or are you in the castle for another factor?
Just being passive and listening doesn't make it possible to hear clear answers.
Then...
"Dear Lucas, um... maybe we should talk"
"Hmm? What?"
"If it's my healing magic, maybe I can heal Eva."
Now you know the answer.
Can it be cured, can it not be cured, does it not need to be cured again?
Master Lucas, who had a mild look on my words, stiffens, but spins his words regardless.
"But now I can't. Unfortunately, there are still many immature parts about my own healing magic, and I can't say I'm an expert at curing illnesses, etc. But if you strengthen the healing magic system that you are currently mastering, you also have a disease that is eroding her -"
"Usato"
Pisces and is called to fame in a quiet and pressing voice.
Stop talking too forcefully and gaze at Master Lucas, he opens his mouth with a sad look somewhere.
"I'm very happy with that goodwill, but - I can't. It's not that simple."
"... If I'm powerless, there are people in the kingdom of Ringle who can handle strengthening the healing magic lineage. If those people..."
"No. No. I do have a problem with Eva's body, but that's not a disease. Without it, who likes to lock that kid up in that place and have to be educated not to have hope in the outside world? - Usat, you're a really good one. I have a kind heart worthy of her succession. But this..."
Master Lucas, with a humble grin that made him mock himself, once he separated his words there, deposited his body on his back to weaken, powerless -,
"... this is a sin. It has nothing to do with that child, it's irrational and too misguided - the curse of death that erodes Samaritan's royalty"
That's what I said.
