"Did you enjoy your long vacation? But you can't stay out of bed forever!
Hislo, standing in front of the lecture, tells the apprentice knights out loud.
"There is a major event this semester: expedition training and a survival battle for all-door participation. Some of them will participate in the events of the palace, etc. If you don't train and study hard, you'll be ashamed of yourself."
Fey asked the next Golms.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing fighting expedition training and survival?
"You guys are really... ask your own seniors for some information...
…
Gollms looked frightened and saw Phee and Couinu.
In any seat to the left of Phee, Couinu looked over intrigued.
These two are oblivious to the information inside the apprentice knight.
"Here, Heath! Gollms!"
"Oh, excuse me!
"Why did I wind up... excuse me..."
Fee lightly and Gollms apologizes if dissatisfied. Well, dissatisfaction is natural...
Hislo looked at Phee and said after he cautioned against the private language.
"Then, Heath. There is a call from Mr. Ior. Like I'm going to see you this afternoon."
"Want to call from? I don't know."
Fee let her eyes squeeze and squealed so.
In the afternoon, breaking up with the cousins going to training, Phee headed toward the rally point.
When I entered the assembly hall, Ior was waiting for Phee.
"I want to!
Fee grins with a nostalgic grin and rushes over to Ior.
Ior is hard to understand either, but he smiled all the time.
"Heath, you've come a long way"
"No, if it's an order I want!
Let Fee salute him with a shubb.
"So why did you call it in today?
Phee asked Ior with his neck clenched.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I have two things to do. There's one thing I need to tell you. Apprentice knights may also participate in ceremonies to be held in court during the upcoming apprenticeship period. But I can't let you join me."
"Yes, I understand. But why?
Fee snorts at it lightly.
Honestly, I don't like every festival, and I was more like lucky I didn't have to attend. Besides, I'd be in trouble if it came to face-to-face with Feel.
I'm just curious about the reason, so I'll ask.
Ior nodded and answered me, too.
"This time the enemy could also be within the court. If there were enemies inside, you'd be a joker to us. As far as possible, I would avoid a situation where people in the courtroom know their faces directly."
"Okay."
I see, for Phil's case? and Fee nodded with a slightly more serious look.
Then Iol went to Fee with a slightly troubled look on his face.
"I'm sorry I've been treated like this. But I promise that treatment is also temporary. I'll make sure to take you away someday. Until then, I want you to be patient."
"No, because I really don't care. I just want to be happy to serve."
Instead, I'd be in trouble if they made me that great.
Like Mr. Crowe, it's okay to be a knight. Rather, a knight who doesn't have to go into the royal palace is convenient.
After Ior nodded with a hawkeye trick like he didn't really understand the place.
And then there's the other one.
- - - Additional - -
And in the afternoon hours, behind Ior's earlier words, Phee was in the palace.
However, he is in disguise.
Phee dressed as a gardener boy follows Ior. He also pulls his noticeable golden hair, puts it in his larger hat, and his face is subtly hidden with his hat.
If it's a garden in a castle, it's not particularly unnatural to have a gardener boy.
Because Roy, king of this country, is free to enter and leave the royal castle, and he sees the sight of a gardener coming to work with his son.
Still, if I went into the royal palace, it would seem unnatural, but if Ior followed me, no one would have stopped me. Instead, everyone who makes a mistake has an eye for Ior.
Fee's presence in plain attire is limitless.
It is an amazing charisma.
In fact, it was initially proposed to dress as a samurai.
I don't recognize Ior. If there's a samurai that follows you near the place you want, even stand out and tell them that the news will be passed on to all the samurai in the royal palace like an electric shock.
Thereupon, Phee suggested the gardener's disguise.
Go through the passage of the unpopular Royal Palace as far as possible and follow it in front of one room.
Fee and Ior gently entered the room so that no one could see them.
Keep the stepladder that Phee in the gardener was carrying on the lump of the room. Iol rises there.
And when Ior pressed the ceiling, the ceiling came off and a very narrow space appeared.
"Can you get in?
"Yes, I'm fine"
Fee looked at the space and nodded.
According to the story, it's a place for intelligence that used to have the old grass on it, but there seems to be nothing in the modern era to put it in.
So it was Phee's turn.
If you put your hand up against an iol on your stepladder, you can lift it in a snug position. As it was, Fee went in as he rubbed his hand on the top plate.
It was a narrow hole but just the right space for Fee.
Eye to eye with Ior from among them.
"You don't have to. Let me know later if you hear anything suspicious about the conversation between the people who are going to use this room."
Fee nods and Ior closes the lid.
(Ok......)
Fee, who was in mission mode, as Cain taught him, left his mind relaxed.
Wait quietly at the place.
Eventually I heard the door open in Fee's ear.
And someone starts a conversation in the room.
"My Lord Chancellor…………………"
"Greetings…… only requirements…… SE……"
Low, plundering voices and voices that are tall and somewhere seemingly weak.
Neither of us can hear it well because of the whispering.
"Darkness... I... how..."
"Even as a country................................."
"That sort of..."
I thought I'd listen a little closer to my ear, but Fee remembered Ior's words "don't push me," and stopped moving.
Instead, I tried to remember as many words as I could hear, but I wasn't likely to get very useful information.
But it's more important that you don't find it. That's what Mr. Cain tells me. So stay still.
Eventually I heard the two of them leaving the room.
As Fee was holding her breath in hiding place as it was, the top plate opened. I can see the mask I'm already used to seeing.
"Thank you for your hard work"
"Yes."
I wanted to put Fee out of hiding and put him down on the floor.
"What conversation were you having?
"That's... I don't hear much..."
You know better than this intelligence ior that the conversation is with the prime minister.
Then there was no other information that seemed valid.
"However, if you have a high voice, I felt in a hurry about something"
"Right."
I don't even think this information would be very helpful.
Fee is a little depressed by his uselessness.
"I'm sorry I can't help you, I want to..."
Fee leans down.
Then, Pong felt a big, warm hand on his head.
I raise my gaze, and the little hand I want is on my head.
I want to smile.
"No, that's not true. Enough. Good luck with that. Heath."
That's how he gave me his head.
Warm hands go back and forth over your head a few degrees. Fee narrowed her eyes to a pleasant sensation.
At that time, uh, I felt nostalgic for some reason -.
That night, Phee had a strange dream.
The world is gray, blurry, and I don't know anything.
I just don't know, the only pain I get from time to time was horrible.
"Dirt my clothes again! How many times do I have to tell you! Not at all. This kid!
An uncomfortable high voice sounded, heard a loud noise under his ear, and the pain ran.
I don't think I like that, but that doesn't mean I can do anything.
Just keep standing on the spot.
"Why should we be pushed to take such trouble? The other samurai have a chance to accompany you, Phil, but we're in such a mess of a dirty little girl..."
"That's right. That sucks."
"But... it's not a good idea to slap him a little. You must be a princess for once."
"Huh, if you don't beat me like this, I'm not gonna talk to you!
With that word, the pain runs again.
"If I slap you on it, you won't even notice the king or the queen. That's why they call it the worst kind of idleness among samurai."
The audible voices were all darkening and made Fee's heart feel disgusted.
So I lurk my breath still. Don't let them give you pain.
But this world was irrational.
"Yeah, well, we need to beat it like this and de-stress it enough! Of course not!
The pain runs again.
I don't know anything anymore. Maybe I should do something.
Fee even kept drifting through a world of only gray pain and darkness.
And I always thought this grey darkness would go on forever.
Even that day, Phee's body was running with pain.
Just the feeling of pain in the heart and an empty mind with nothing.
It's a world where Fee has always been, where such a world is normal for Fee.
That's why I thought this world was going on forever.
But not today.
My voice echoed. A low voice I've never heard......
"What the hell are you doing! You guys!"
"- Sama!?
"You're not ashamed! Treat such a young child like that!
"- Who are you?
"Look, um... of"
A high voice that always inflicts pain on me shakes like upset.
"Heh, heh... What do you know about being a leftover person? You don't know anything about us."
"Oh, because you've just come to this country. I'm sure you have quite a few circumstances. But still, it must be your job to take care of this girl. Then it is up to you to do it in good faith and with pride. That's never going to hurt this kid."
A big shadow stands to protect Fee. And say it in a unique way.
"People live in different positions. Whether you are a king, a peasant, a nobleman or a merchant. And it is only by fulfilling its role that a country takes shape. I bet you guys are professionals given that job too! Shut up!
…………
After a long silence, a slightly clogged high voice leaked.
"Well, if that's what you mean, why don't you take care of yourself? You grew up royal and you don't even know how hard we struggle..."
"... ok"
A few moments later, when the voice sounded so low, the footsteps left.
Fee relieved himself a little. Because even when I was beside those people, all I felt was pain.
But I didn't even know what to do, and when I just stood, I saw my face in front of me.
That could have been the first time Fee had seen the face of someone at the same height.
"Are you all right...? What's the pain...?
The low voice speaks in a warm voice that I have never heard before.
"Ah... ah..."
Fee left her mouth open to emotions she wasn't sure about, but the sound just leaked out of her mouth.
The face in front of me, I open my eyes.
"Right...... Can't you... talk..."
After the person in front of me shrugged, the warmth spread to my body.
"It's okay. I will always be able to speak...! I'll teach you!
That was the first time Fee touched it, it was a plush of people.
Then after a short, long time.
Fee's gray world had turned into a world of light.
Sometimes sad, sometimes hard, but sometimes happy, sometimes happy.
And today, something very sad happened.
Very, very...... Probably the saddest thing in the world.
"Which one..."
Fee squeals the words.
Then the face in front of me was distorted like it was painful.
"Sorry...... I'm not allowed to be in this country anymore..."
Fee grabbed the hem of that large piece of clothing.
Tears come to the eye of it.
"It frightens me..."
"Mmm..."
"If I could be... I would be ruined about me..."
It's the same as having little Phee presence in this world. I've known that since I met the man in front of me. If you go far away, this guy will, I'm sure, forget about you.
That's what Fee thought.
Then the person looked at Phee.
"That's not true. I'll never forget you."
The man never kept his word.
Still, Phee couldn't believe it.
I buried more and more tears in my eyes.
Then the big body, as one day, crouched down and looked into Fee's eyes.
The occasional gentle and warm feeling touches.
"Well, I promise. No matter how -, no matter - you and - la, hi - I can..."
