The next day.

I woke up in a luxurious room. Flush protection had stretched out my body for a long time. A crisp and pleasant sound strikes my ear. The comfort of the bed was impeccable.

Well, I'm due back to the academy this evening or so.... but what will Belgrette do? There was just such a raid on Princess Liliane last night. As a royal guard, I wonder if there's any reason to leave the princess's side.

... nevertheless. Sometimes I'm hooked.

Yesterday's assassin. I'm not sure because I'm not familiar with common sense in this world, but I was wondering if that would be strange - and so on, and my body shivered all the time. I'll think about it later.

Leave the room behind to go to the bathroom.

A long corridor with red carpets, stretching from left to right. How spacious. I thought "I want to go to the bathroom" and then I headed there, but I guess I won't make it.

As I was going for a small run on the toilet, I came across a discerning face.

"Ah. Good morning, brave man which"

It was Priscilla, the knight apprentice girl from last night.

"Ah, you guys. Good morning."

"Ha. Please take it easier. I'm the brave one. I'm the same age."

"... Really? Got it."

"Brave man, which, are you in a hurry somewhere?

"... eh. That way, it helps if you treat me normally. And it would help if you would stop saying 'brave man none'. I don't know what to do."

I want to be treated special...... is something that everyone seems to think of, especially at this age, but when I was actually treated that way, I was more concerned about embarrassment and uncomfortable as a drift shelter.

"... fu, haha. Okay, I will. What is it? You're a strange person, yu...... Lugo, is that okay?

"Mm-hmm. That'll do.... Priscilla, is that okay?

"Yeah. Uh, surprise. I can't believe you're such a brave man who did something amazing, so I thought you were an errasaur, like an upstream nobleman or a 'penta' who's often there. He's no different from us."

Priscilla says in an easygoing tone that her shoulder has lost its strength. Not that it's a beauty, but a nostalgic smile dazzles me.

"Priscilla...... is a knight? Are you an apprentice?

"Yeah. Such a ratty woman, but the house is a one-off nobleman. Well, it's really the bottom line."

"Really? College students...... aren't they?

Priscilla laughs bitterly when she says so.

"Is that it?... to Lugo, Priscilla?

It was the pale girl knight, Bergrette, who came there.

"Oh. bell boy, good morning"

"Oh, my God, Belu."

"Yeah, good morning, both of you.... What? It's a rare combination. I just met him yesterday."

To the words, for some reason, Priscilla tries.

"Nothing, nothing. Hey, Lugo, huh?

"Hmm? Ha..."

So I felt Belgrette's neat eyebrows move perfectly.

"... WHEN! I'm in the bathroom, I was on my way to the bathroom!

".................. hmmm"

Belgrette makes a flat voice.

"Huh? What the hell, Belle?"

"... sticky"

Hey, what? Are you suddenly upset when we talk about the bathroom? Shouldn't I say "toilet"? I was on my way to pick flowers, should I?

I was curious about how Belgrette was doing, but my bladder is also close to its limit.

"Yes, please! So farewell now!

I realize it's a cool way to run, but I can't let it splash and get even cooler. He was a boy desperate to go to the bathroom.

"The two captured assassins don't seem to break their mouths easily either."

Claire sitting in her chair sighs boringly.

"Mmm. I guess... even as an assassin, something to do with credit issues"

Belgrette, sitting on the bed, also stares at the ceiling and answers as she stretches.

Belgrette's private room in the castle. After breakfast, I was just spending some time with the two sisters.

"But we need to clean up soon. There's no reason for us to leave the Princess's side in this emergency more than the absence of our regular Royal Guard sister Amanda. You can't go back to college like this, can you?

"Well, I guess so."

"............... Sister"

So Claria called in a whining voice, whispering...

"Royal Guard Mandate. What would you do if I offered to extend the period?

"Huh?"

My sister stares into my sister's eyes in surprise.

"If it's true, I'm scheduled to take turns in a week. What would you do if I said I wanted to go on a little longer?

"Mm-hmm... right... depends on how long you extend it"

Belgrette looked up at the ceiling and roared.

"... you're worried. I used to fight over which one would go with the princess."

"Huh? That's... something I'm not a kid anymore. I'm just about to do some research with Lenore... and it looks like Leafia's coming to the college once before" Rest of the Ethereal Thunderbird (Raptors Rest) ". It's true that some people want to stay in college a little longer. Uhm......"

"... is that all?

"Huh? What?

"... anything, nothing"

So, Concon and the door were knocked.

"Ah, yes."

"Er, me. It's a shield."

"Chi......"

Without even hiding it, Claria punches her tongue.

"Already, Claire......, yes, go ahead"

The drift guard opens the door and peeks into his face.

"May I help you, Lord Aliumi? I'm not impressed you're visiting the lady's room."

"No, I'm just curious."

"What are you talking about? Come on in."

Claria looks blatantly unpleasant, but Belgrette didn't care to invite him in for drift protection.

A boy came in and said, "Wow, that's a room..." and he sat back in the recommended chair.

"So? What can I do for you? Lord Aliumi."

"Hmm..."

Without worrying about Claria's words, who complained with her eyes that she could just get out of here, Lifeguard showed her how to think.

"No. Um... I have amnesia, and I'd like you to tell me if my thinking was wrong... how did yesterday's assassin get knocked down by the two of you?

Just as quickly, Claria hoisted her eyebrows.

"Huh?... You seemed to include something last night. What is it? You think we're immatures who lag behind the assassin scene?

"No, you're not. I'd rather the other way around...... er... is it" S.H.I.E.L.D. "Ages" in "Karen Twight"? I guess the two names are only given to the brilliant chanter Magee. So... the two of us together are "Duality". "

Me and Belgrette turned red.

"Lugo, hey, how do you know that...... Huh!

"Huh? The princess taught me yesterday."

"Eh... Liliane..."

"Hmm? Why are you turning red? You're so cool."

"Oh, cool...? Beh, there's no such thing as red..."

"So... What's wrong with that? Say exactly what you want to say."

Come on, Claire makes the story rough all the time.

"Oh, no. That's why. Why did the assassin, who's been after the princess, deal with the two guards who are" Maggie, the brilliant chanter, "and get knocked down as they are? Why didn't you run away?

……

So for the first time, something hooked up behind Claria's brain.

"You'll get in the way in targeting the princess. It's only natural to be in battle with the escort... but the aim is to get tired of the princess, right? It's not the level of incompetence to deal with an escort and be defeated as it is. Normally you run away with a gap and chase the princess? Or did you two overwhelm without even giving them a escape gap?

――――

Claria remembers.

Shortly after Belgrette's grand moves, the assassin looked like he had disappeared. At that time, the assassin thought he had escaped or gone after the princess.

But the truth is, I've been lurking in the dark and attacking.

"For example, if I were an assassin... even if I was in battle with an escort, if it seemed to be a trick, I would leave once and for all. I'm so tired of being a princess."

"... Actually, I was wondering too..."

Belgrette nodded as she put her hand under her chin and listened.

"When Liliane and Lugo ran away, the enemy didn't show any bareback after them. I wonder why."

"... Till I got tired of it, we... prioritized defeating the Royal Guard?

Claria frowns.

I can't think of a reason to do that.

Did you try to easily target the princess later by collapsing from the Royal Guard?

But that doesn't make sense to me that I've stuck with the Royal Guard and even lost my eyelashes.

There were multiple enemies. Is it possible that the opponents who fought themselves were abandoned pawns? But while this one is fighting, another assassin hasn't come under the princess. On the contrary, it has not even been witnessed.

"Mm-hmm. Can't you just ask the assassin you captured?

"Ha... that's hard, you don't crack my mouth"

Belgrette laughs bitterly like trouble. Claria exhales.

"Ha... You can't even think about it. … I'm going out for a little while"

"Huh? Where are you going, Claire?"

"Lord Cyril said it last night, didn't he? Near Gautendor, he said, there were men who were talking about the Princess's raid. I'll go check on the patrol."

"Oh, hey, Claire?

Shortly after my sister stopped, my sister left the room behind.

The sky is blue and clear.

There are clouds, but not creepy empty patterns that are said to be characteristic of the year of the example Farvnar. The season, too, is almost summer. It's going to be hot again this year.

Down the stairs at the entrance to the castle, Cyril stood on the sidewalk with a white sun umbrella. I stayed overnight at the castle last night and I guess I'm about to go home now. Looks like they're waiting for the carriage.

"Oh, Lord Cyril. Are you coming home now?

"... is it Claria? Yeah. Which way did you go?

"As the information I received from Lord Cyril last night, I thought I'd wash Gautendor."

"Oh, that's hard work. Well, Royal Guard... Apprentice, right? That's about right. Well, I owe it to my information."

To Cyril's words, um, and Claire snorts.

"Even Lord Cyril, who couldn't be a Royal Guard apprentice, still does the same, doesn't he?

Now Cyril stared at Claire.

"Hmm. I know you want to be recognized by the princess and your favorite Belgrette sister, and you're in a hurry for kung fu. Be careful. Around Gautendor, many outlaws are nauseating. Because there are a few people like you who prefer children who are not old enough."

"- Hehe."

With a bell-ringing voice, Claria laughed - no, I shrugged.

"What if I - take a delay on those...?

Whilst, ice. Claria's eyes, a user of water, emit a cold reminder of ice though.

"... eh"

Cyril's breathing voice sounded faint.

"- I advise you, it hurts. I beg your pardon, Lord Cyril."

"... Claire, what are you in a hurry"

Belgrette sighed like she was in trouble.

"No. The princess is after me, and I'm in a hurry..."

"Mm-hmm. Well, yes, but at least while Liliane is being targeted, inspection and 'Adule' will be canceled for the first time, and no assassin, no matter how much, can come into the castle... because the rush will create unexpected mistakes"

... At this time, I decided to ask about the shield.

"No. Why do you hate men like that, Claire? Mentals like my sponge are about to collapse..."

"Eh, I cared about you, Lugo. I thought you were flat. Because Edvin used to be called trash and made visible."

Garbage.

"Well... if the other woman looks like a gorilla, I don't care what they say. I don't know what the gorillas are talking about, but that's fine."

That's the kind of Cyril that doesn't bother me as much as a drift shield when he says something to that type.

"... hmm. Claire's cute, so you're shocked when people say things?

The tone of Belgrette became upbeat.

Speaking of which, that's what happened when we met in the hallway this morning... and Lifeguard reminds me. I'm not talking about the bathroom right now. Why.

"Heh? Well...... because Claria has a moment where she looks like Belle after all. The face. I knew you were sisters. That's why it doesn't feel like Belle is telling me to be tough..."

".............................. eh?

"Ah! ………………"

Lifeguard finally realized what he meant by what he said.

………………

………………

I just have to die.

I mean, Belle. Maybe, even now. even in the morning. Something made me look grumpy, like maybe it was, jealous of me or something,

"Yes take-two! Why do you hate men like that?

"Ah. Ugh, yeah. Uh."

It was a slightly dodgy Belgrette, but I answered immediately, laying my eyes down.

"... he's dragging my brother..."

"Are you home? Huh... Belle kids, you have a brother!?

It was my first ear. If you're surprised to ask,

"Yeah...... deceased. When we were young, my family used to go hunting in the woods over at the refe. So Predilecke attacked me..."

"Pre...... what?

"Predilecke. Rank A grudge demon. Remember we talked about 'I only saw Drawthrow once when I was a kid'...

"Ah... oh, speaking of which"

Immediately after the matter of Minette. I remember Belgrette saying that when we first talked about Draughtrow.

"That's right. The first time I saw Draughtrow was then. Still... Draughtrow wasn't my brother's or my father's enemy. That's why my brothers and sisters looked like legendary heroes.... until Predilecke shows up."

"What... is he?

"He has black, giant sickle-like arms, and two miles long... resentful demons similar to Kamakiri. Anyway, fierce and dangerous resentment demon. There are so many instances where the village has been wiped out by the Predilecke integration. My father and brother have no teeth at all. So... to get us out of this family, my brother was on his own and headed to Predilecke. Promise me you'll never leave."

You remember that time, Bergrette smiles sadly.

"Seeing that brother's last appearance, I decided to become a knight. Claire... she cried." Your brother's a liar. "

"............... yes, is it"

What a hard story to comment on.

"Then... my father, too, vacated the house more often on official business... and I promised to play with him, but often he couldn't protect me. So Claire gradually said, 'Men don't keep their promises. I think I'm a liar."

Belgrette continued with a sad smile.

"And then... when I was a kid, there were a lot of boys who were mean to Claire. Now that I think about it, I guess that's the flip that I liked about Claire."

"Ha... I see"

"So there's a verse where you don't even admit to being mean about that kid, the guy.... Oh... so maybe I'm in a hurry to fight Lugo's thoughts on the assassin earlier..."

Belgrette raised her voice.

"Sorry Lugo. I need a favor... okay?

Put your hands together and lean your little neck, Belgrette. I'm too cute to say no, the boy thinks.

"What. You want half the world? Let me give it to you."

"Eh, what's like that evil decentralization...... eh. Will you follow Claire and see how it goes? City liquor store...... I guess I headed to Gautendor, but I'm a little worried...... If I don't have Claire, I'll be next to the princess."

Compared to giving me the world, it's a good place to be cheap.

"Oh, let it be. Let's go."

... and so on. It was a drift protection that popped out of the room, but I didn't know where the tavern would have headed for Claria.

It's not cool, but I just thought I'd go back to my room and ask, and I discovered Priscilla turning around the corner of the hallway.

"Oh, hey, Prisciller!

Then I'll go after him and call him off.

"Hmm? Oh, Lugo. What's the matter with you?

"No... Gauteng, for Christ's sake. Do you know where the liquor store is?

"Huh? Are you going for a drink in the daytime?

"No, you're not. I'm a little hungry..."

"Ha. It was just breakfast. It was stupid. Well, no. Gautendor, right? Uh..."

I managed to ask Priscilla where she was, and she ran away.
