Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)
Chapter Six: Smiles, Mournings and Black Dogs Part One
The season shifted from spring to summer and autumn, and Hershelik also grew with the season.
About six months after he began to go out to the castle town, on the afternoon of the day when he had no plans to study at the castle or to study swords or horses, it was routine to go outside through the way out.
"Thank you!
Hershelik hands the customer a paper bag with pear-like fruit and smiles.
"The day that Lyoko will be here will be helpful with growing customer legs and sales.
Louis, the wife of this fruit shop, said in a good mood. It's already well above the previous day's sales.
"Hey, you!
Yes, Louis talked to a big man more than twice his height and four times his width. Everyone would be more convinced that they grow mustaches and produce wood dust rather than fruit shops.
The man, who carries a box of fruit silently to Louis' words, glanced at Hershelik but immediately took his gaze off and went back to his work.
(Exactly Beauty and the Beast......)
"You're so helpful to have Lyoko for your heartless sake, say thank you!
Louis' words made my husband flinch again, but he didn't say anything, and now he starts polishing the fruit delicately with a cloth towel. The hindsight looked adorable for some reason.
"Totally lit up.
Hershelik takes the liberty of convincing hershelik that it would be love between husband and wife, although he could not understand how to look at it.
"Speaking of which, is Lyoko okay? We're helping, but haven't your parents told you anything?
"My father is busy, so I only see him sometimes, and my mother died when I was born, so it's fine.
He told the truth, but the two adults looked like they had a bad look. Even so, her husband is always unfathomable. However, because of the unfathomable aspect, Hershelik didn't know the machine yet, but he hastily adds words because he didn't think the atmosphere was good.
"So it's okay because my father tells me to do whatever I want!
(That made me look at the poor kid even more......)
Hershelik himself is just telling the facts, but he seemed to have dug a grave where he wasn't sure.
When Hershelik had trouble changing the atmosphere of the place, he was offered pear-like fruit in front of him. When I looked up, my husband looked down, so I was afraid that when I received it, he would go back to work.
"I'm sorry to hear about your insensitivity. It's time to go home. You want to come see me tomorrow?
Hershelik looks up at the sky. Soon the sky had sunset. Sometimes I concentrated on helping you, but it seems that it is no different to Japan in previous life that the sun drops faster as winter passes.
(Speaking of which, I think the climate is similar to that of Japan.
Hershelik looks at the pocket watch while thinking about it. It was getting slower than usual. I've enjoyed being here lately and I'm stuck for a long time.
"I'm going home. I'll disturb you tomorrow!
Hershelik rushes back and forth. Yeah, well, Louis clapped his hand, as I recall.
"Someone I don't see around here lately...... probably from the region. It's growing. Looks like there's something going on with the police, and you're getting insecure, so be careful going home. Why don't you let me send it to my husband if you like?
My husband stands still at the word. Apparently, he sends it to me, but if he does it, thank God, Hershelik is in trouble.
"It's okay, I'll go home with care. Thanks for the fruit!
Hershelik runs out when he bows to his husband, who stood up saying so. Louis dropped him off until he was blind like that.
"I had a great time today.
We don't have children yet. Because I can't afford to raise a child, so I'm still on hold. But after the boy named Lyoko came, the couple became bright and wanted children.
This country is not very good right now. The king gives precedence to the nobles, and the nobles and officials are running to their own advantage. Even the lower-end officials keep the people at bay.
It's a painful country for ordinary people. But I still don't have this country because I think I'd rather be in this country, which is still safe in the name of the big country, than go to another country and start from scratch. Besides, the Wang Capital still compares to the provinces. Life becomes tough the more proportionately you leave Wang Du.
Both Louis and her husband hated nobles and officials. Daily taxes cut the cost of living, and if you lower the unit price of the product, you can't sell it, and if you lower the product to sell, your life becomes even more painful. Paying taxes never made my life any better.
The people think that everyone is the laziness of those who hold the political hub. All the nobles we see now and then are dressed in bright costumes, where the wind blows like the hardships of the people.
(But that girl is different, right?
Louis reminds me of Lyoko.
She is a beautiful boy with a calm spring in Sarah's blonde hair without pale habits and a face that is white in skin but looks healthy. Words are clear for the age, and when I suddenly think I've said something grown up, I'm happy that I don't love him, and I'm intrigued by what I don't know.
(He's in good shape, and he behaves well, so I don't know if he's the son of some nobleman...)
It would be unfortunate to think that in the future he would grow up like any other nobleman and take a wide walk around the area with our faces, but I didn't think he would be like that. Instead, I expect him to change something as a nobleman.
"Hey, I'm gonna make it a storefront.
"Yes."
This unfathomable husband also seemed to really like Lyoko.
She knows. My husband is sneaking up on a bear stuffed animal to give it to Lyoko, and he can't help but worry about giving Lyoko to "give a stuffed animal to a boy..." apparently mistaken for a girl.
It was natural to do something scary, and I fell in love with that gap and got married.
(I think I'll bake some sweets tomorrow.
I'm sure Lyoko will be very pleased. Thinking of that smile, Louis' expression is also naturally dusted. Such an unfathomable husband threw a swordswallowing glance at Louis, who noticed it and began to clean it up in a hurry.
The next day, I was a couple of fruit shoppers who opened the store as usual, but Lyoko at a time when I should have been able to show up if I had always... Hershelik never showed up.
"I knew it was crazy, you.
At the usual time, Hershelik does not show up, and Louis looks in the direction of his coming, just like the store number, and asks how he is doing.
Behind the store is a baked treat that he'll be happy to have, and he sighs when he sees it.
"I never had that girl break her promise.
Louis is anxious and has more mouths to stick with.
That aristocratic child says beforehand the day he can't come, and the delicate day says, "Tomorrow might be difficult? I'm going to say."
If you assure me like yesterday, I will definitely come.
I also have a few more wrinkles between my husband's eyebrows than usual. I'm never angry, I'm worried.
"Maybe we should talk to the police..."
(But what can I say and talk to you about? 'The aristocratic child, who is always here to help, will not come today.' or something?)
Louis thinks for a few beats and weakens on the spot.
(No, they'll definitely kick you back...)
When I heard a noise and moved my gaze, my husband almost started walking with a face that was still going to kill people.
"Hey where are you going!?
"Go to the police.
"If you go, they'll catch you the other way around!
(That face is a murderer or a kidnapper!
Louis adds in his mind that he will definitely get hurt if he asks, and hugs him into the successful arm of his husband as he tries to start walking.
"What's wrong with you?
Louis, desperately holding on to her husband, accidentally talks to her and looks at her. My husband was followed and moved his gaze.
The year stood a young man who would be in his twenties.
He's about the same height as his husband, but he'll be half as supple as he is.
Glossy black hair had dark colored red red ball-like eyes, and the young man, who seemed to be every once in a while a woman of his age, tilted his neck at the couple in a panic at the store.
"Speaking of which, sometimes you don't have a blonde boy in the store. Is something wrong?
"Yeah, I'm a little worried..."
The young man's worried face caught me, and Louis opens his mouth as well.
"You said you were coming today, but you didn't come at the usual time... I've been worried about the insecurity around here lately.
"… that's worrying.
"Yeah, really. I hope nothing happens..."
The young man hammered Louis' words while buying some fruit disappeared all over the city.
And when Louis turned his head on her husband again, a question arose in her head.
(You found out about Lyoko, she's a boy a lot.
Louis would be impressed if such a good young man came to the store. But it was the first time I had seen him.
But her doubts made her desperate to stop her husband from trying to storm the logic again, and her doubts and her youth were beautifully forgotten.
When the young man leaves the fruit shop, he moves on cluttering to blend into people and disappears into the alley naturally and without sound.
If there was a human being who was observing him, there was no one to keep an eye on him, although he might have questioned its too natural and, conversely, unnatural behaviour.
When the young man enters the alley, he throws the fruit he has just bought to a stray child who is squatting on the spot.
The drifter, who tried to convey his gratitude, saw him and ran away with a small scream.
The young man had the opposite look he had given Louis, a look that was cold but also seemed angry.
(Weird.)
Young man...... A day job spy, known by Hershelik as Khlo, recalls yesterday at the castle he broke into. There was a strange rush in the castle. Especially in the rear palace.
The knights and soldiers rushed off and gave up the job yesterday.
And he didn't show up at the store where he was going with patience. There is only one answer that is most likely to lead us from here.
He walks out with a wrinkle between his brows.
Everyone behind us knows where we're headed. "The Informant."
The remuneration paid to an informant is higher than elsewhere. But whoever's behind this knows it's worth the price.
What comes to mind is the unusual prince smile of blonde hair.
Every time I see him, I give him a childless look and act like a royal family. The dangerous invasion of the Imperial Castle was only a pretext to meet him.
For him, work was for money, and nobility was a good prey for dropping money, but at the same time he was disgusted. No, if you work behind it. But their darkness that you see.
Well, I couldn't feel any darkness from that prince.
It's strangely cozy to be on your side and somehow hard to leave. I can't refuse him any questions or favors. For the first time in his life with the prince, Crowe was swept away by emotion, and that was the pleasure he felt.
If this disappearance of the Prince is due to the way out I taught him, I can't regret it.
Clos walked faster at some point, and he only walked like a wind at some point.
He just wanted to be relieved to see the prince smile quickly.
