Chapter 64 Countdown

Judas and Kordelia sat side by side, looking at an invitation to the royal family crest written on a very luxurious piece of paper.

“Huh · · · I don't think this is about taking a bath together, right? ”

“Yes, the first story and content have changed a bit. ”

An hour after the tea party with Princess Daphne.

Here's a summary of a new invitation from Maia:

Let's play water in two days' time.

It's Jude and Dion and the bridge.

‘Well, it's still a little bit like a bath. ’

Even though they were of the same gender, it was a matter of exposing each other, it was not something I could do with Cordelia just once.

“The place is still the same, so you can think about going in a bathing suit in a place like a hot spring. Some kind of night pool? ”

Cordelia opens her eyes, muttering as if talking to herself.

“Night pool? What's that?”

“A swimming pool at night, as the name suggests. Well, if a daytime swimming pool is the playground of the whole family, shouldn't the night pool be the playground of adults? ”

Once there were no kids.

In Judas' ambiguous description, Kordelia narrows her eyes and thinks, then asks with a curious face again.

“So it's like a club? ”

“There are places like that, and there's just hotel pools opening at night. ”

After talking about it, Judas looked away for a while as if he could remember.

Then she asked Cordelia in a quicker tone.

“Have you been there? With a girl? With your girlfriend?”

“Huh?"

“Who did you go with? ”

Kordelia's face is getting closer.

Then, reflectively, Judas shrugged his shoulders and said as if I didn't know how.

“I've never been to that · · · play, and I just know I'm still there. ”

“Really?"

“No, really. If you're pretending you've been, how can you lie to me that you've never been, Jana? ”

“Hmmm.”

Her eyes narrowed, and Judas, who had swallowed a dry saliva without even knowing it, smiled. I had to.

“What are you smiling at all of a sudden? ”

“Just? I just like it. ”

Judas squints, as she did. He grins, and for some reason, he pinches the back of his hand. It didn't hurt that much.

“Anyway, I better get ready. ”

“Prepare?”

“Buy a bathing suit. You didn't bring a bathing suit. ”

It was winter.

No, even if it was summer, I wouldn't have brought my bathing suit.

Who would have imagined that there would be swimming and playing with the Princess.

“Easily pay by cheque. Make arrangements for the rest of the schedule. ”

As Jude raises her hand one by one, Kordelia looks up at the invitation.

“Prepare for the ball? ”

“That too · · · Now there's really not much to die for. We'll have to be ready.”

The Black Moon deterrent, which will make the king a terrorist in every part of the country, has yet to be perfected.

Although the Royal Noble attack weakened Australia's political position somewhat, the time it took to strike in the first place was too short, and some misconduct was not just the decay of the Hawk and the Black Moon.

I needed a stronger shot.

“Are you up for the third one? ”

“Yes, the monster is the third and final warning of the pink bomb. ”

The third target has long been decided.

It was also decided what to steal.

“Apart from that · · · · · will you be prepared?

“Well, there's a lot more people to protect than Rangoon. ”

At that time, all it took was Lucas and Kordelia.

This time, however, the number of royal families to protect was well over ten.

‘Of course, just one Princess Daphne would be enough to prevent the destruction of the barrier. ’

But that was the worst case scenario ever.

‘Save as many royal families as possible. No, make sure no one else dies. ’

It's best to make sure there are no victims at all.

Kordelia wished for it, too.

“This is going to be a big fight, isn't it? ”

Kordelia said with a gloomy face.

It was because even if they succeeded in defending all the royal families, it was impossible to ensure there were no casualties.

‘Bloodbath.’

The Australian Air Force was eager to die, and while stopping them, damage was inevitable among those guarding the royal city, such as guards and proximal knights.

‘All you can do is minimize. ’

Destroying the Black Moon was also to reduce the damage.

“Ugh · · · It's a little frustrating at the moment. I just wish I could tell you everything and make you understand. ”

If we can inform the Royal Society of their plan to annihilate the Royal Society in advance, then the Royal Society can detain or execute the Royal Society.

But it was an impossible story.

People couldn't believe what Judas and Kordelia said.

Who would believe me if I told you that the former hero of the Old Kingdom is plotting to annihilate the royal family.

Rather, they were going to put Jude and Cordelia in jail or send them to a mental hospital.

In Kordelia's words, Judas nods, agreeing, and lays his hands on her hands.

“Aren't you glad? ”

“What?”

“There are countries. ”

In Jude's words, Kordelia opens her eyes and smiles deeply.

“Hey, you, too? ”

You like being with me? Are you confident?

With embarrassing eyes, Judas nods.

“Yeah, me, too. ”

Because if I was alone, and I had to do all this by myself, it would be a lot harder and lonelier than it is now.

“I should have made a pink bomb first. ”

“It's not too late now. Mr. Black Cloak. ”

“Yes, my inner white pink bomb. I'm going to settle for a black cloak, a sidekick. ”

As always, Judas stood up and smiled.

“Anyway, let's go. It's shopping time, shopping time. Shouldn't we use it if we earn it? ”

“Hmmm · · · Well, good. I came to the royal family, but the king hasn't been able to get around the weapons stores properly. I'm going to get a whip. ”

Judas smiles bitterly as he smiles and replies.

This girl reminds me of the armory when I asked her to go shopping.

“Why? Did I say something weird? ”

“No, Princess. You spoke very well. Let's hurry while we're at it. ”

“Let's go now? ”

“Why, it's not even dinnertime yet. You want to go to a restaurant sometime? You came to the royal family, and you haven't eaten in the right place. ”

Jude says she turns her head and looks out the window.

It was late in the afternoon, but there was still time for the sun to set.

“Let's go shopping, have dinner, go to bridges, and watch the night. ”

“With parfait? ”

“If our princess wishes. ”

Suddenly, Judas gives you a big smile and gives you a slight nod as if you were attracted to him.

But that was the moment.

‘Uh, wait. ’

Shopping, dinner, a night out?

Alone?

No, of course, they stick together almost every day.

Still.

But this is something.

It's a little different from what you've been sticking around for.

So it's like...

A date? ’

In a hasty thought, Kordelia raises her head, tilting her head and meeting Judas looking this way.

“Cordelia?”

“Huh? · · · Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ”

What's so special about dating?

I could do that.

‘Yes, we're engaged. ’

Of course it's a date.

It's not weird at all.

It's weird that you haven't done it yet.

Yeah, that's right.

Maybe it's a date.

‘With Jude.'

That's it. Kordelia bites her lip a little, rolls her eyes up, and looks back at Judas.

The same fluffy face as always and the green eyes staring this way.

“It's a mess. ”

“No, I think you're making an unfair accusation. ”

“Hmph.”

Either way, Kordelia felt strangely better, standing up at once and saying,

“Okay, let's get out of here. If he says he's going to keep an eye on her, he'll let him. ”

It seemed like the only way to see the night was to slow down. The gates of the palace would be closed even if the year fell, so I had to stay outside.

“Hmm, not a bad reason, but would your father want that? · · · · · · · · ”

Adelia and Gail's surveillance.

Do you really want that?

Wouldn't he rather be in trouble?

“I feel strange again. ”

“No, I should just say I tried to empathize with my father. ”

“Enough of this nonsense. Then you make it up to me. I'll make it up to you. ”

It was something very new, but it was my first date.

When Kordelia spoke in her own words, Judas exaggerated the example as if it were a play.

“I look forward to it. ”

“Yes, Confucius. ”

Cordelia, smiling glancingly, turns around and hastens on her three steps.

And in 30 minutes.

Before sunset, a wagon carrying Judas and Kordelia left the palace as soon as possible passed over a large overpass.

&

Salome dress shops light up the streets of Verden, a fashion-forward city.

Madame Salome's niece, Marlene, who had been there for three years, looked at the couple with a happy face.

"Cute."

I think I'm in my mid-teens now.

A girl with vivid red hair and a tall, dark-haired young man.

The girl in the inviting white dress was wearing a wide white hat, and this big dress shop itself was making a strange expression of curiosity and fear, a little bit of aspiration and expectation.

‘That's what a lot of people look like. ’

Especially girls from the province.

‘Seems like a pretty good family spirit · · · · · · ·. ’

I could tell by the white dress I was wearing.

The design was plain but not plain cloth.

The ring on his hand and the brooch on his chest.

This was also not the latest design, but it was clearly worth something.

And most of all,

She's so pretty! ’

Let's just say I felt like I saw the doll move alive.

How could that little face have such a discreet nose?

And the young man standing next to you.

A handsome man who is obviously a lover or fiancée, literally pictured.

Unlike a girl, each of these places acted naturally as if it were quite familiar, but Marlene was moved by the face of the young man.

‘Be careful.'

Ever since I first entered the store.

It seemed like a normal walk, but Marlene, the veteran, could tell. The young man was always concerned about the girl's sympathy.

And an optimized escort that can unfold like that.

An unstoppable escort to protect the girl anytime, anywhere.

‘What the hell.'

The boy did not take his eyes off the girl for a single moment.

When I looked away for a while, I was always putting the girl in the corner of the poem.

‘I'm also interested. ’

Usually, when you come to a dress shop like this, the women get excited and look closely, while the men take a step back and make a fat face.

If you ask me how it's going, I just want to say a word.

But this couple was different.

It was because the male side was much more enthusiastic than the female side.

“Ha, I can't. The more variations, the better. ”

A small muttering man, Jude, looks back at Marlene and says,

“Just give me everything from here to here. ”

From the left end to the right.

Roughly a dozen dresses.

With Jude's words, Cordelia opens her eyes and pulls her sleeve in haste.

[Hey! Are you crazy?! Are you crazy?]

[No, why.]

[Overconsuming Max! Wasteful out! No! I can't! No way!]

Kordelia, who had declared her message magic resolutely, urgently looked around and pointed to the dress on the other side.

“That one! Give me one of those! ”

If you pick a middle one, Jude might get stubborn again.

It looks expensive, but I'll pick the prettiest one.

But that was the moment.

“Oh, Kordelia. ”

“You have a good eye. ”

Judas and Marlene say one after the other, and Cordelia blinks.

“Yes? Eyes · · · · ·? ”

“Yes, it's the best thing in my store. ”

Marlene smiles brightly, and Judas whispers in Cordelia's ear instead of sending magic messages.

“That one's worth more than all this stuff on this wall combined. ”

“What?! ”

Judas whispered in his ear, but not in Cordelia.

Kordelia shouts in succession, shaking her arms, surprised or not.

“Drunk, cancelled! Completely cancelled! Super Cancel! ”

Kordelia, full of surprising nonsense, stomps her feet tightly, smiling, and Marlene bites her lip, barely holding back her smile.

And in 30 minutes.

After buying two sets of dresses and three pairs of bathing suits, Judas and Cordelia left the dress shop energized on one side and exhausted on the other.

“The world must be going crazy. ”

“Because the dress is too expensive? ”

“This is so stupid. ”

Cordelia was the soul of Earl Chase, one of the 12 northern families, and she had spent 17 years as a nobleman and was accustomed to "the life of consumption of nobles."

However, there was also a life of consumption for nobles.

“What a waste. Luxury. Plus, you seem to have a little bit of a recession. Don't you know you can't have big hands just because you have big money all of a sudden? ”

Kordelia, who spoke slightly as a sermon, stepped forward as she did.

“The consumption trends that have gone up once are extremely difficult to go down again. That's why even after the fallen nobles returned, they still spend money and lose. That's why they're more origin-oriented than stupid. ”

“Who said that? ”

“School economics teacher. ”

And Judas was like, "Did you?" ', Cordelia pinched her cheeks.

“I'm going to hate you. ”

And step again.

When I crossed the bridge and entered the long shadows along the setting sun.

“Why don't you come out now? ”

Suddenly, Kordelia said behind her back, and at that moment, Judas realized as well.

What Cordelia realized.

And now he knows it himself.

Out of range of cold.

It is located exactly one step away from the mesh of the boundary that Judas was always on, so it was determined to hide its popularity and has not been noticed until now.

But Cordelia sensed him.

Her intuition, sharper than a wild beast, enabled it.

Kordelia turns around, and Judas stands by her and looks at her together.

A man who suddenly became like a ghost.

“Man, I feel good. ”

A playful face with long, neat, dark blue hair.

“I just saw you guys walking by. I followed you to dinner. Huh · · · I hope I'm not interrupting. ”

The Sword Rune Prawood of Light.

Short Edge Blade.

A man eager to interrupt a couple dates.

The darkest smile swiftly, and Judas and Kordelia, in particular, turned fat and confronted him.
