As the Gentiles departed, the master of Badarnois, who was left in the city of snow, slowly returned to bite.
While the grace of Inverlenus falls for the first time in a long time, many residents struggle to use this warmth to reduce even a little snow, or struggle with Scoop's hand.
"That disturbance sounds like a lie."
"... yes..."
How long have we been able to walk the city in such dignity and peace? For Lenore, who had been asking for a long time, I couldn't help thinking about it.
"Well, for my country, this is where the real misery begins." It just got worse, not better. ”
"... Meru. I knew it..."
"Will you stay? The Belgrettes will be sad."
"... but..."
"Don't worry about it." You have lived a limited college life. [M] And then I grew up and came back. At that time, as a servant of me, you will fully exert your strength. "
"...... yeah"
"It's okay. Svorun has something to think about in this case, and Lord Lenin is trying to restore his old knowledge." Besides, you heard about Meshwitz's old age, didn't you? "
"... ah, yeah"
"Fufu, that was really painful."
That's one of the stories I told you when I raided the palaces of the fugitives.
Their arrangement was set up by the enemy and was naturally innocent. But without it, the Protector in particular knocked down most of the soldiers in the palace. Shouldn't we impose a sin on that act? and the Knights of Mage insisted.
The current regiment is headed by Andrawarze Les Hollandals. She is the daughter of the famous Hollandal family of the ancient and righteous aristocrats, and the principal offender who harassed Lenore, who once served as a court sorcerer (mage).
... Incidentally, Badarnois's legendary court chanting sorcerer (Mage) was literally kicked out by the "thief".
The murderer leaves a saying like this.
"No, um... I think the court wizard (Mage) in this country should train a little more..."
It is better for him to say unto his teeth that he should not be clothed, but it is hard to say anymore.
And there was a person who heard such a rumor.
Even in Badarnois, the Meshwitz family, which has had tremendous power for a long time, is its owner.
The last big man in the country was a man to be called. The old man, who was called "Rough Mesh" when he was young, insisted on this.
"Huh? Dude, if I lose, I'm going to kill you and say," Get this guy! "" Is the victim yelling loudly? "The court anointing sorcerer (Mage) and the aristocrat? Isn't that embarrassing?
In addition,
So, you're going to pull him off with the "crime of entering the home of Badarnois on one-rider and beating most of his troops from the front. In other words, they were all kicked off by just one person, so I'm going to make an honorable public statement. Now, who would be embarrassed to walk on the front?"
Everyone was caught off guard. Why would such a big man defend the protection of the bloodshed, which is supposed to have no contact point? The reason why it was revealed was that
'He is my benefactor, who has tried to protect my honor. Thanks to him, I can't fuckin' paint. Language is forbidden, such as putting people to blame. "
It was said that during the raid, he guided the old man who was wandering in the hallway to the idle place.
To Androwerze, who tried to argue that it was stupid,
You're not an idiot, little girl! I'm ashamed of myself for being hit by only one of my goose heads! Do you know what the fact that none of you are dead means!? I'm not the one who got my hands dirty! You have to have an overwhelming difference in strength to do your job! If you have time to use your clever mind, why don't you be ashamed of yourself? ”
He was so angry that he wondered where that voice could be heard from. No one could defy him, known for his unconventional father.
And, as Old Meschwitz said, there were no dead among the nearly one hundred and fifty soldiers destroyed by the exile. On the contrary, the degree of injury was not even life-threatening. As a result of these considerations, Androwerze's claims were dismissed.
The anecdote will be quietly told in Badarnois, like a kind of ghost troll.
There was a handless and unskilled boy who silenced three-digit soldiers on a single mount. In essence, there was a man who had fallen the Palace of Ice Radiance [Palace Shell On] by himself.
"It looks like the soldiers have been trained that they can't keep going like this." Yes, the Vinitov brothers work out like other people every day. It looks like he's got a fever. "
The white hero laughs meanly.
"Oh, but suddenly, we change our minds." It always reminds me when I go through here. "
Suddenly, he turned to the surrounding landscape.
"When I was a college student... I really didn't feel like going out to lectures, so I went out to the city one day."... no, that's a lot of days. It was just a sunny day, like today. If you're bluffing appropriately, it'll just be around the corner-- "
"... I bumped into a girl with red hair.... I've heard enough to make an octopus in my ear."
"Oh, no, yeah, that's right."
As for Lenore, I've been told many times.
It was said to be an exotic girl.
It has a noble atmosphere with short red hair. From my appearance and behavior, I knew at a glance that I was not an immigrant.
At that time, he seemed to be around ten years old. If so, it would probably be about the same age as Lenore.
She was sobbing and wetting her pale red eyes.
What's the matter, you?
When asked, the girl came from the far southwestern power, the Bulk Fort Empire, and she was lost with her parents.
When she asked for her name, the girl called herself Sylomière.
Originally, it should be left to the soldiers, but many people in this country don't like others. It is no exception that he is the guardian of the law.
So Meltina took the girl and walked around the city looking for her parents with her.
After spending about half a day kneading through the Imperial City...
"I honestly didn't think that foreigners would appreciate that."
"... I heard that too"
The parents finally met and said that they had already thanked Meltina with tears.
I was surprised to learn that it was Badarnois' hero Mertina who helped my daughter, and my daughter, Silomière, who was not familiar with the situation at a young age.
”Ahhhh, I, I want to be a fine person like Meltina...!”
"No, that's a pleasure and I'm proud of everyone at the academy."
"... I heard that too"
The arrow tip that starts chatting like that,
"Oh, Mertina-sama..."
The wrinkled voice came from the side.
When the two of them turned their necks around, a small old woman with a cane approached them. Will the age reach seventy or eighty? Because they are hip bent, their back length feels lower. It will be difficult to go out on a snowy day, regardless of where you are going.
"Master Mertina... it seems like you can't see me... but I'm glad you're doing well."
"No, I'm not embarrassed. Don't worry about me, Grandma."
"By the way... is it true that after the death of Priest Ohmzoruf..."
Heterogeneous events that have occurred continuously. The end is already in the ears of the people.
"...... Yeah, it's true."
Placing a beat, the hero nodded like a bite.
"Oh... what do you mean... what do you mean?"
The old woman shook her head.
"... I heard a rumor that Priest Ohmzorf was dyeing his hands with evil..." Was it really something like that... "
"... yes, I'm sure she was dishonest."
The old woman also shakes her head slowly.
"To me... I can't believe it. He was different from his predecessor. Even at the ceremony, he listened to me personally.... and......"
The tip of the staff in his hand was directed toward the snowy waterway that ran under the feet of the three people.
"It's that person who has focused on dealing with the snow that has been a source of troubles for a long time." Certainly, the tax is expensive... but thanks to it, even old people with bad feet like me can walk around the city in winter like this... "
In fact, there are many parts that have been improved by Ohmsorf's measures aimed at change.
Lenore herself was still so unrealistic. It was the [Saintess of Truth] who caused this incident.
But I'm sure you can't believe this fact more than anyone else.
"... Emanu is..."
Lonely, Meltina speaks of her name.
"Emanu just got it a little wrong." It was serious and straight, but... there were some clumsy things about it. "
"... is that so...?" Make mistakes and so on for everyone....... Ice God Curerene is such a strict lord..... "
Death from snowballs falling from heights.
Many receive it as a divine punishment.
"Ah... I wonder what will become of Badarnois in the future."...... maybe it's not something that will last forever..... "
I saw off the back of the old woman who left without saying so. Is it discouraging? Looking a little smaller than before, that lonely backward figure.
"...... 'It's not something that will live a long life'." Don't stick it in my chest. It's a word that you shouldn't let an old man say... "
Either way, I resume my steps.
"That was when I was a college student, right after I was at the top of my grade."
Looking forward, Mertina cut it out. The expression on her face was clouded just now when she was talking about a foreign girl.
"That day, Emanu was not feeling well because she saw it." I was worried. At last, graduation is approaching the following year, and it has also been decided to officially belong to the Order. I wonder if I can do it myself from now on. "
The pure white eyes, which seemed to be nostalgic, reflected the scene at that time.
"That's why I wanted to cheer her up, so I put on a happy hour." If you can't do it, no one can. I'll support you... "In retrospect, I was lining up for all the good things I heard, but it didn't make a difference that I meant it. Since then, Emanu has become more vigorous than ever... finally, she has climbed to the top of a nation."
But Julia and Martina drop their gaze.
"At that time... maybe I put a curse on Emmanuel."
"...... Curse"
Lenore traces a disturbing word that doesn't match the flow of the story.
“Yeah, you can call it expectation or encouragement. However, as a result, Emanu pushed forward with impatience... and eventually ended up like this... I put my own hopes on her, didn't I? If so, my words at that time weren't the same as the curse--"
"...... That's not true"
I couldn't help but say it.
"Ren...?"
"... the words of Mel weren't a curse to Priest Ohmzorf"
In the light from the heavens that comes in loosely. With certainty, the wind and snow girl affirms.
"... why do you think that?"
"... that's why I'm the same....... I will continue to work hard to become a servant worthy of Mel.... I'm glad you praised me, and that's what leads to my growth....... even the priest Ohmzorf, I'm sure... no, I definitely did."
"Ren..."
"..." Mel himself said earlier.... the priest Ohmzorf just got it a little wrong. So... that's why I'm not mistaken...! "
Unfamiliar quick mouth.
"I will prove that your words are not a curse...!" That's why I want you to keep... watching! I will definitely become a servant worthy of you! "
I was slightly short of breath because I made unfamiliar claims.
But I couldn't help but tell you. I didn't want to see my best friend's sad face anymore.
- This is an oath.
I will definitely make it work. Is it something that ends with a curse? Declarations, and the future that lies ahead.
"... oh, wow...!"
Lenore weighs a lot.
All of a sudden, Mertina clutched her arms and her feet fluttered.
"Damn it! Don't be too hard on me, I'm going to cry."
"... you can cry"
"Don't be ridiculous."
"...... you can cry.... Mel's always working too hard on his own. Too much hugging by yourself....... I just lost my dear best friend, so I don't think there's anything wrong with crying."
The strength of Meltina's arms turning around her back was just a little stronger. In response, Lenore hugged her back.
A little snow fell from the clouds in the clear sky.
Just like the slightest tear falls.
