403rd moat: Can you instantly answer that you are happy?
Can you say you're happy instantly?
Side: dressa
A mass of white clouds flows through the blue sky.
Bo Watching it all the time is just me named Dressa.
Yes, just Dressa.
Not the princess of the kingdom of Nassa, not the princess of the diaspora, not the ungrateful, not the slave princess, really just Dressa.
"…....... Sa............. Mr. Sassa!! Dressa!!"
All of a sudden such a loud voice jumps into my ear and hurries to take a seat.
"Hiya!?
"It's not yes. I've called you many times, haven't I?
"Oh, I'm sorry"
"... are you not feeling well?
"No, that's not true..."
"Really? Sounds like something bothers me, but now it's time to study. Focus here if you can."
"... Yes. I'm sorry."
That said, I try to sit down, but the teacher can stop me from doing that.
"I didn't call you to be careful. Yes, solve this problem"
"Huh!?
The blackboard prompted by the teacher was lined with formulas mixed with multiplication, addition, and allocation.
"Even if you haven't heard the current story, if you're listening to the classes you've been in, you can solve it. It's okay."
"Oh, you know. I'm an integrator..."
"Yes, that's a problem that Mr. Dressa can solve, considering it."
... I mean, it's punishment, so it's solved, right?
Ha, I can't help it, do my best.
I'm pretty sure it's my fault.
"Hang in there, Dressa."
"I'm hanging in there. Dressa."
Aslyn and Phyllia cheer innocently, but I wouldn't take this attitude from the start if it was easy to solve!?
Uh, sure, you calculate first from multiplication, allocation, then add up, deduction?
With all the hard work, I manage to write the answer.
"Yes. Correct. See, you solved it, didn't you?
"... Yes"
I'm glad you're studying well.
While I think so, I'm recovering from confusion, and I, what am I doing? That brings me back to feeling.
"I don't know what Mr. Dressa is worried about. I don't know if I can fix that for you."
Yeah, the teacher knows how weird I am, and he's the one who's gonna talk to me softly.
"But you don't have to worry about it alone. It doesn't have to be me. Talk to someone. Just telling someone can be a change of heart. And then you might want to calm down a little and think quietly"
"Okay."
That's what I said, back to my seat.
"I've solved it."
"Good for you."
Athleen and Phyllia are celebrating the successful resolution of the problem.
"... thanks"
Say thank you in a small voice so you don't get in the way of your teacher's class.
Should I look at those two and talk to them like my teacher told me? But two kids on a boulder...
No, a little more, let's sort out our minds.
"Welcome!! All right, let's go soccer!!
"" "Ooh!!
Lunch.
After lunch, instead of the guys in the class, the kids at school are jumping out to the ground at once to play with their thoughts.
Girls who don't play outside may be chatting or studying in class.
I try to sneak out, trying to sum up my thoughts a little by myself, but Vilia finds me and speaks up.
"Dressa?
"Is that it? Dressa, where are you going?
"Aren't you going to talk to me?
"Mm. Talk about delicious treats. He said he came from the Adventurer's District..."
Come on, let's talk about Hiiro, we'll hear it later.
For now, organize your mind. That's what matters.
"Oh, hey, toilet"
"Oh, come on."
"Come on in."
"... is that right?"
"Mm-hmm. Come on in because you're in trouble for the fun."
"I won't get it!!
And, like that, I'm gonna get out of my class and go to the back of the school.
This is the opposite side of the ground, not many people come.
It would be best to think quietly.
Sit on the bench you have provided, then look out at the sky just like you did in class.
What am I worried about in the first place?
Yeah, when I realized, it was over at Ex, and I lost my way.
Defeated the abominable Noble, a lump of ambition, that destroyed his native kingdom of Nassau, peace and the reconstruction of the kingdom of Nassau.
This was my goal in life.
Naturally, I didn't think it would be easy, and since I fell into slavery, I knew it was a dream.
Yes, it was supposed to be a dreamy dream.
I felt a little realistic when the mob took me away.
But Weed brought me here, and I met the goddess Luna, and while I was helping her with that, I found out the truth.
Noble was not an ambitious man.
Like me and your father and mother, he was a man who wanted peace.
I was just desperately trying to do something about it before the world went into an unsolicited crisis: depletion of magic.
I could understand it if I listened. You can't reveal the truth to me, or just let me go.
The extremes are that Noble himself noticed my presence at Master Hiffy's wedding......
"... Princess Dressa. I see. I can't believe you're reaching this far. '
After I said that, I knelt before me and drooled my head.
'There is no lie in earlier stories. Doesn't make any difference to the destruction of the princess's home country. There are already people better than me. Even if I'm gone, there's no problem. So if you hate... slash my neck. I want that to end. I must never end this war. "
That's what I've been saying.
Noble's men try to stop it, but they stop it and say it's bullshit.
So, I didn't feel like dropping Noble's neck.
Master Luna partitions, I couldn't kill Noble, the same god at Hiffy's wedding, and in that sincere manner, as royalty of the kingdom of Nassau, where peace of the people is what it is, I never cleared my personal grudges.
'... if you've changed your mind, you should come and slaughter me anytime'
I said that until the end, so on the contrary, Luna said, 'I'm telling you I like you in person, so don't be a woman. Don't let Hiffy's wedding get awkward. And, Dressa. I've made up my mind. Squeeze!!' he was pissed.
I also heard about Arne. That kid looks like he's up for a knight, he'll rock if he meets with me or asks the facts, and I'll see you when the time comes.
Probably because the story of opening the store is knighted, it was hard to get a response.
So I accepted the present situation, so even if I returned to my stable former home country, it was passed down as ungrateful and could be an unwanted spark as a royalty, unwilling to take revenge on Noble, not a slave.
I mean, I really just became Dressa.
No identity, no restraint, no vengeance, no goal all gone.
"Oh well. I don't know what to be, what to do,"
I guess I'm worried about what's to come, accepting to be just Dressa.
"Mm-hmm. It's hard to tell. Just one person."
On closer thought, I realized that having no identity or restraint was quite difficult.
On the other hand, you can do anything, that risk is great. Like nobility and royalty, the future is not determined to some extent. Really, I understand that if you're going to live with Weed, you can do whatever you want.
I guess that's why for me, who was originally royal, this freedom is an unacceptable thing.
There's nothing to tie you up from around. On the contrary, it means that nobody tells me.
I see, you don't need yourself for combat training and study because you don't have a goal or anything...... Until now, as a royalty - there was a push, but that's gone.
"... me, what do you want to be"
"I do my best every day if I can help your brother at all"
"Yikes!? Vilia, when..."
If I noticed, Vilia was coming as close as she could, and I sat down beside her.
"It's a long time to use the bathroom, so I'm here to see how things are going on behalf of the Aslins"
"Ah."
That bothers you, doesn't it?
Those two may have been in a hurry.
If you don't explain it properly later, you'll cry and be punished by Labyris and Shayla......
When I'm thinking about that, Vilia opens her mouth and speaks out.
"Fine, there's a lot of them, right? Like Dressa, the kids who don't know what to do."
"Huh? Really?
"The majority of children attending school are former orphans. No, it's still like an orphan. I don't have to have trouble eating every day, thanks to Weed with the orphanages that are co-located at the school, because of your brother's extraordinary reckoning. This is pretty amazing, isn't it?
"Really?
"Yeah. Most of the orphans were kids who were never taken to the orphanage, and they always stood close to each other and desperately collected what they were eating today. Someone who can be called my brother died in it, too. That helped me put together the orphans who live in the slums. I was desperate, I couldn't afford to think about the future anymore. Whatever you do, you don't want kids younger than me to feel bad..."
……
"That's also better I haven't had to do since I came to this weed. My brother was always nice and prepared a properly hungry meal and a warm bed. So what do the kids who lived every day so desperately want to be? Many children are confused by the way Weed is called."
"Oh well. So why did Vilia start thinking about your brother... helping Yuki?
"It's easy in my case. I thank my brother for making this place, and I appreciate it. I'm sure your brother will continue to work hard for many people's smiles. So I'm hoping I can help at all."
"... you're solid."
Something, I think, is very solid than me.
No, I thought it was for some age from the start - but if that happened, I'm convinced.
"Speaking of which, other than Vilia, what are you doing with those kids who don't know what to be?
"Actually, I don't know."
"Huh? So now you're playing outside? Is that all right?
"Pfft. You're saying the same thing as me. Me and I tried to scold the kids playing without thinking about the future. Give thanks to your brother, like me, so that you can study hard and help your brother!! But your brother stopped you."
"Huh? Did you stop it? You don't know what that means?
"Yep. I remember every word I said then..."
"Happiness varies from person to person. Now anyway, do what you thought was fun. You can do a lot of things and play, and that's what school is all about. Well, if you can't do basic studies, you have to stay or something? Whatever it is, don't bother everyone. Do it freely if you can protect it, because it will surely lead to your happiness'
"... I'm not sure."
"Dressa, you must be."
"So you know what Vilia said about Yuki's happiness? Were you studying and connected?
"Yeah. My happiness is helping your brother a little bit"
I round my eyes to Vilia, who answers instantly without setting aside.
"How can you say all that? You could be wrong, right?
"Right. I think it could be wrong. But your brother ended up like this."
'Are you happy now? That is, I am happy to be asked!! Be someone who can answer right from the bottom of your heart. No, I think it's very difficult. "
"I can answer without hesitation. It must be my happiness to help your brother. It's not about duty or anything, it's what I thought from the bottom of my heart."
"... somehow I understand what you're trying to say. You can't be so unhappy what you're saying with a good smile. That's what I'm supposed to do right now.... really, this is a better way to play as much as you want on the ground than to think"
"Phew, right"
All right, then we've decided to do it.
"Vilia, call the Aslins. We'll play in the ground together!!
"Yes. Okay."
First, let's play as much as we want.
Look for happy things like Vilia that can be answered with chest tightness!!
