At the end of the training, Phee had come as far as the East Garden of the Castle.

I've been here a few times to scout, so I know where the building is more or less.

Speaking of the royal palace's eastern garden specialty, it is an 'unused tower'.

They say that that tower, built earlier in the king's time, was built to shut down high-profile political prisoners, but the earlier kings have never been used sweetly in nobility or in their bodies, nor have they been used since the time of King Roy.

Actually, only once, they've almost used it, but the rumors don't know what's going on.

Well, for today's business, Phee was straightforward because she had no involvement at all.

The boys roam near the east quarters because it is time for those in the east quarters to finish their training as well.

We found who Phee was after.

A serious-looking boy with neat faces wearing glasses on his sarcastic black hair.

"Percirou!"

Fee approaches as he calls his name.

Percil turned around and looked at this one.

"Mmm, you're sure. Heath."

"Yeah! That's right!

Apparently, you remembered my name.

I haven't been able to be very active in a sword game myself, and (preached) I wasn't in the venue much, but I'm a little glad you remember, Fee thought.

"I need to talk to you about something."

When Phee said that, Percil looked a little behind Phee and said, "I don't mind, could you wait a minute?"

As Phee looked back, there were about two apprentice knights in the east quarters looking at Percil.

As Percil walked over there, those two asked him something about the sword, and Percil was actually waving a wooden sword to show him an example. The two wave their swords to cover it up, and Percil sees it and points out what's wrong.

A few minutes later, when the two boys thanked Percil, they left the spot.

Percil is coming back here.

"Sorry, let me wait"

"Yeah, fine. Percil's teaching you the sword."

When Phee smiles and says so, Percil nods without changing his expression.

"Oh, think we all need to be stronger in your game. Of course, the instructor could teach us, but I thought there might be a part of our experience that we could teach. I also teach Luca and Lizil occasionally."

"Heh, those two"

Fee was a little surprised by the story and turned her eyes round.

"So what can I do for you?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Do you have a partner in a survival fight?

"No, not particularly."

"Well, there's someone I want you to organize in our quarters,"

Fee looked up at Percil upwards.

And then about an hour later.

At an affordable café in Castle Town, Percil and Couinu were made to sit in the opposite seat like a matchmaker.

There are also terrace seats. It was followed by a cool breeze around autumn.

Fee sitting in the middle takes the two like Nico and his buddies.

"Mr. Pursill, this is the cooinu in the north quarters. And Cooinu, this is Mr. Pursill from the east quarters - I think I already know that."

Naturally.

It seemed to me somewhere awkward how the cooinu was, and Percil had the same sober look as usual.

…………

…………

Silence flows to the table of the three.

Eventually the waitress brought an order for the three of us.

Under the cousin, tea, a nice parfait for Phee, and Percil, coffee.

"Wow, that looks delicious!

Just as I forgot my purpose for a moment, I look at the parfait and Fee makes my eyes shine.

Percil had five cups of sugar in his coffee when he took the spoon.

Cooinu adds milk and then puts his mouth on tea.

I said it like Fee remembered an important story as he cheeked his parfait spoon on his mouth in a mean way - he really almost forgot for a moment.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. So, I think it's a good idea to organize a survival battle with a cousin. Maybe the two of us are top notches."

"I see."

……

Percil nods, and Couinu is silent on the word.

Percil's reaction might seem disgusting if someone other than him did it, but in his case, his voice and tricks were pale and didn't feel like that with wonder.

I guess I calmly analyze my strengths and differences with others.

"And it's also best as a division of roles, isn't it? Cooinu is maneuverable, but he's not good at brainstorming, and I heard Percil's good at setting up an operation on that point. I think we can make a good partner."

Fee pushes a pair of percils and cousins around.

In fact, it could have been expected that Couinu and Percil would be a powerful pair if combined.

…………

"Oh, maybe Couinu's mad? I'll tell you what, I didn't say you were stupid about the cooinu. I think it's a good thing that the idea is simple."

Just now to the silent cooinnu, fi to follow.

Then I recommend Cousin to Percil as well.

"It's a survival battle, so you may be worried about the health of the cooinu, but it's okay! Long distance grades have been growing lately! I'm flattered!

Whether it was growth due to age, or because he was poked at a weakness in a game and was trying to improve, Couinu has even been following his strength lately.

Until now, I have been able to compete with slads and geese that are about the middle.

That's all we've grown in a short period of time, so we'll have more room for survival. Should the boy be jealous, or is the cousin special? As for Fee, I'm almost lost.

Anyway, he seems to be making an effort, and even when he got back to his parents, he seemed to be running or something. As for Fee, it was a menu that would break my body if I was dating her. Maybe it's different from the qualities.

The gathering at the cafe was all Phee talked about because of her silent personality, both Cooinu and Percil.

Eventually, after about a decade or so, Percil puts the coffee cup down.

And I stood silently in my seat.

"Ah, Percil!

Fee looks in a hurry.

But Percil's answer was different.

"I don't mind at all. A pair with Couinu would almost certainly be able to aim for the win. But he doesn't seem more comfortable with it."

When Percil says so and looks at the cousin, the cousin shifts his face at random again.

"Tell him when he's motivated. I'll be ready to put it together anytime."

That's what I said, Percil left.

On the way home, Phee and Couinu walk side by side.

"Do you want to work with Percil, don't you?

Fee also asks more calmly than he did at the cafe, peeking into Couinu's face.

I thought I might have been a little pushy myself.

…………

In contrast, Couinu was silent, but he finally opened his mouth.

"Why... can't I..."

Couinu was honestly obstinate.

The more conscious I am myself. So, Percil, it was awkward. Perhaps emotions, too, will be more or less visible to him, so...

To be honest, I was shocked. The only reason you couldn't pick yourself as a pair...

If you choose, fight hard and protect me from the enemy. And even the winner tried his best to get it in his hand.

I didn't like it. I tried to overcome the stamina aspect, because I wanted to protect Heath, and that's what I thought.

Yet I was not chosen... to become enemies...

"I don't have a choice anymore."

Fee laughs bitterly at such a cooinu and makes a little call.

"I'll tell you why, come here for a second"

As the cooinu approached the word bewildered, Fee brought her body much closer.

The heart of the cousin will be so sure.

On an unpopular path, the two bodies snuggle together.

"Couinu......"

At the next moment, Phee pulled out the wooden sword and fired a blow at the cooinu. A blow completely released from the blind spot, like going through the torso and aiming at the jaw.

"Huh...!

Yet, Couinu avoided.

avoided.

Plus, there's a lot of room...

Accidentally, blind spots, and a blow that Fee took seriously, didn't even scratch.

In an instant, Couinu is already far away to safety distance. No, it was in time for Couinu to attack from here.

If this were a battle, Phee's defeat would have already been decided.

Yet the look on their faces was as if they were the opposite.

Couinu, who looks really surprised that he was attacked, and Phee, with a sober expression as if he had predicted he could be avoided.

'Cause here's the deal.'

"What...?

"The cooinu is strong. Honestly, I don't feel like I can win."

Phee saw. The moment he avoided the attack, he even put his arm where Cousin tried to fight back aggressively.

"But that's why you're here. Really, you can't give up. Survival warfare is my specialty. I'll do everything I can with Golms to defeat Couinu. And do what you can be proud of."

Fee poked a wooden sword that wouldn't reach the cousin.

"So come and take us down for real, too. Otherwise, we're out of business."

Then Phee returns the blemishes, and leaves under the cousin.

Couinu stunnedly drops off the look of it - it seemed - but Fee rushed back.

"Hih, Heath......?

"Oh, but the survival battle's still behind us, so until then, we're friends. Look, go home. Couinu."

Fee, who followed the usual expression, so pulled Couinu's arm back to the castle.

(Oh, I don't know what a girl is...)

The cooinu was a bit frightened......

Fee looks up at the sky. There was a unique warm breeze on his cheek.

"The wind is damp. There could be heavy rain."

"Ugh... yeah..."
