- The next day. Arnold's exams were said to take place in the royal castle, so I was escorted to the royal castle. I knew Mr. Merzedes would follow me, too, but what a lonely couple.

I was slightly distracted by the fact that I was alone without knowing what caused the grump the other day, but Mr. Merzedes seemed unwilling to follow me from the start, and I was smiled off. I just wanted you to come with me here, and the two of us left the inn, turning our bellies and saying that it would only further damage Arnold's mood.

Walk silently down the road to the royal castle. There's no sign of you talking to me. But at the same time, because of the absence of frown wrinkles, I'm probably not in that bad mood right now.

But more and more when this happens, I wonder what the other day's impulse into Lukersch was. Has it simply gotten worse in character?

Without a word of conversation, he finally came to the front of the castle gate. There are several boys and girls of the same generation around. I guess they also aspire to be “apprentices” of the genus Wang.

Stop in front of the gate. I opened my mouth thinking I should say something to the boulder and drop it off.

"Good luck"

"I don't even need to be told"

I can only laugh bitterly, truncated with bassari.

It's the first time in three years that I haven't been close enough to get rid of what happened the other day. I have no idea what kind of distance to deal with.

Dropping off Arnold's back as he disappeared into the castle - I realized I had. I wonder where and how long I should wait for Arnold. Do I have to wait until the end of the exam in the first place? Will he be angry later when he returns to his inn one foot away?

I made up my mind, and I stepped on it a few times.

"Are you talking about your brother?

I was accidentally called out.

When I looked up at those who spoke in haste, there stood a gentle grin and a man looking down at me. Light green hair and pointy ears remind me of Mr. Merzedes. This man is also an elf.

The man wore heavy armor, not suitable for a gentle face. The armor is engraved with the national chapter of this country. I was considered to belong to the Knights of the King's Capital and the Knights of Chevalia.

The brother he said, is probably Arnold. I hesitated for a moment, but I nodded.

"Yes... can you mean waiting somewhere?

"There's a waiting room for relatives. I'll show you if you like."

"Oh, thank you!

The man kneels down and reaches out to me. I admire "like a prince" for its soft and graceful behavior - not that it impressed me. Sure, this world may be called the world of games, but it's still real to me. I can't believe there's such a person in reality.

The Chevalier Knights, to whom he supposedly belonged, were also deeply connected to the protagonist in "Last Brave". One of the party members was the Knights Commander.

I get my hands on it, I go around the castle gate. The sight spread in front of me as soon as possible remained the view I saw in "Last Brave". The luxurious royal castle sits in the centre, yet is full of greenery.

I go straight into the royal castle - not into the side garden. Keep going and the tower of separation will be revealed. Is that tower in the waiting room? The tower also looked familiar.

Looking around with kyorokyoro, it compares to the royal castle in memory. So far, we have seen no such discrepancies.

"Do you work for this castle?

"Yes, I belong to the Chevalier Knights"

Still as I read it.

Nevertheless, he doesn't break his respects to such a younger little girl, and he treats her with a smile. Very nice guy.

Though party member Knights Commander was somewhat abusive in his mouth, he was also a people-filled figure. About five years until Lukersch travels. He should already be chief of the Knights.

My mouth loosened naturally to the lavish grin that floated behind my brain.

"Has your brother come to take the chef's exam?

The man totally seems to think of Arnold as my brother. I don't think his face is similar in itself, but he may not have seen it from afar.

I nodded, remembering that Arnold was somewhat hooked on the setting that he was my brother.

"Yes, I'm going to take it in a few years."

"Really?! - Oh, here it is."

It was the tower as far away as I thought it would be.

When a man opens the door, some gaze pierces me. People supposedly the parents of the children who came to take the exam today sat in the waiting room with a hard look on their face.

The atmosphere is heavier than I thought. And in my parents, my presence is obviously floating. But it's much better than waiting near the castle gate.

Releasing the hand that was connected to the man, I looked back and bowed my head.

"Thank you for your guidance"

"No. Maybe I'll take care of you in a few years. Thank you then."

Soft smile and soft voice.

He was a very nice man, who would love to see me again when I passed the Wang formula apprenticeship exam.

Sit back on a soft couch and wait for a few hours sipping the obviously luxurious juice offered. Arnold himself came to the waiting room.

I asked him how the results of the exam were, but as usual he was faceless and could not read anything. Good luck, just say it, and we'll both be on our way home.

"What are you going to do tomorrow?

"If you write today, you'll only have practical skills tomorrow"

Take care and shake the subject, but this is it. Sure, I should have turned my mind a little bit more and asked questions, too, but isn't there something called a way of saying it?

I'm angry, so I dare dig into that topic.

I'm not very popular. It is at times like this that I would like to capitalize on my experience.

"... when it's actually formulated?

"Recovery drug formulations with the specified potency are graded from the stage of sorting medicinal herbs"

It was a topic I poked at out of anger, but I was impressed with the content of the exam. And yes, I recall. I almost forgot, but I'm visiting Wangdu as a preview two years later. We have to get something out of here and go home.

Day one is written, and day two is practical. Apparently, the practical technique begins at the stage of sorting the herbs. You mean you have to come after remembering the type of herb and the efficacy of that herb properly?

I am proud to remember most types when it comes to medicinal herbs, but still, for another two years, I need to be distracted and encourage my studies to be free of leaks.

"... Omae's childhood tame, did you say Lukersch"

When I was renewing my resolve, a solitary volume of inquiry was dropped.

I was doubly surprised and delayed in replying because I did not expect to shake the topic from Arnold and the topic I had brought up even more was about Lukersch.

"What's that left eye crest? Obviously not normal."

I can't wait for a little silence, Arnold, so I lay down the questions. There was no seepage of feelings such as fear or discomfort in that voice or expression. While I'm horrified about that, I choose the words to make the best possible impression on Arnold.

"I don't know. But Lukersch has a little... strange powers. It's a very nice power to protect people. It might have something to do with that."

Now that demons are still contained by the power of men, it would seem suspicious to explain what is the power of the brave.

In a few years' time, Arnold will be saved by Lukersch as well, in a broad sense. So I wouldn't say it sucks, but if I did, I wouldn't hate it the other day. But this is how you asked me, in whatever way I am interested.

I was asking Arnold how he had received my words and the look on his face - I rounded his eyes slightly to see if he had found something at the end of his line of sight. I wonder, suddenly pointing in a certain direction. If I followed the point I pointed to, there was an outdoor shop there. To see the sign, they mainly sell drinks.

I stared sideways at swallowing if it was something I wanted to drink, and an unexpected word was thrown at me.

"Hey, come on"

"Huh?"

"You can work for me, I'm thirsty"

Sure, I should have labored Arnold after the exam. I was not dissatisfied with the luxury of a cup of juice along with a thank you for allowing me to look down.

However, I don't like that voice and tone, which has obviously increased its unwieldiness compared to three years ago. I can't do anything about all this on my own, honest emotions. That's not to say I refuse to be luxurious, but I figured I'd ask him a few mean questions.

He also narrows his eyes so as to mislead the mouth that he is about to nibble, creating a gentle grin. And I tried and asked with a soft voice.

"I don't mind... I can't believe you're thirsty, are you nervous?

"I did. Sorry."

- Oh, my God. Unexpectedly, I came back with an honest reply not even between. I meant to be mean, but it eats my face.

A sharp gaze of dissatisfaction has been directed at me that solidifies me, so I rush to my neck.

"No, I don't"

I'm relieved you're only 14, too.

The real deal was if you hid it and gave an unobstructed reply, Arnold took his gaze off of me like he didn't seem interested. And then I was ordered to "buy it quick" to blurt out, so I left Arnold's former and ran over to the dewstore.

You thought something similar 3 years ago, and I missed it. Before I even noticed it myself, I had a grin on my mouth.

"Laura, welcome home"

When I go back to the inn, Lukersch greets me with a smile.

Don't bluff. Because I was acting with Arnold for half a day - that said, it's about an hour, except for exam time - but he had a strong body. The warm smile of childhood friendliness seems to soothe the body and mind.

"I'm sorry, you came with me because you left me alone..."

"That's okay, because I just wanted to come. Besides, I got Mr. Merzedes to show me around the city today. It was fun."

I know it's rude of Lukersch to think this, but from my eyes right now, Lukersch looks like a cute medium-sized dog. Compared to Arnold, who can't read at all what he's thinking, Lukersch shows favor all over his body - just in case, what we call favor here is childhood friendliness, favor as a friend.

Cute - in spiritual age - to a younger boy, my mouth was naturally loose.

"So I found a store where Laura seemed to like it. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we'll go when we have time."

Nod loudly at Lukersch's delightful invitation.

We have two days left to stay in the Wang capital - one and a half days to be exact - in order to return home in two days. Tomorrow I will accompany you to the Arnold exam, just like today, but the day after tomorrow I have half a day available. Originally on my last day I promised to tour the King's Capital with Lukersch, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of stores I think I like and what they look like.
