A few days after Arnold said he had sent a letter to Lukersch. I was in front of the gates of the royal castle, awaiting childhood training with Mr. Caspel.
After all - after making my first face-to-face meeting with Elvira and making a few mistakes with the recovery drug formula - I wasn't feeling quite as good as I was in the book, and Elvira asked me to go home to Mr. Merzedes once. Arnolt seems to be trying to make some time this way too, but the work he accumulated while he was in Platonovena seems to come from the next to the next, even digesting it. Then at this time, they thought about cleaning up all the work I had accumulated during my vacation, the last few days have been busier than ever.
Well, let's change the story. Why is Mr. Caspel here? He said it's my drop off for the next 10 days. He just laughed vaguely, although he refused that was necessary, and never accepted my offer. Perhaps Mr. Caspel has something to think about this one.
After a little awkward vibes, the current familiar blonde appeared. It glitters by the light of the sun. Though it is a common color in this world, it cannot be misseen. It's Lukersch.
I guess they all caught my appearance in sight, Lukersch opened his blue eyes as if he had.
"Laura!"
When we are reunited, we are strongly embraced by the childhood taming that has rushed us over.
Another stretched height with no heart or succeeded arm. The power I've been held in a long time is stronger than ever, so much so that I remember the bitterness. I poked my head at Lukersch's chest plate because it was too strong, but childhood taming hugged my body with a bunch of cucumbers without you having to worry about it.
"Luca, hey, it's painful..."
"Glad you're safe......!
I was held softly so that I could press my forehead against my shoulder, and I couldn t move. If I stick that close, I don't like to notice Lukersch's body shaking in small pieces.
I worried. I didn't send one of the letters, and on the contrary, I have more than enough to observe Lukersch's anxiety when he finally found out everything with news from Arnold. If I were in that position - just thinking, my fingertips trembled.
With the utmost apology, I turned my arm around the back of a childhood tame who became more successful than I remember.
"Looks like I'm worried about you, sorry"
Though the word I uttered as I buried my face in the chest plate of Lukersch was never clear audio. Firm and childhood tame ears heard my words to my husband, and Lukersch hugged me even harder into his arms. At that time, nature and heels float, realizing that Lukersch's height has grown.
After hugging me full of thought, Lukersch finally loosened his arm. But keep your hands on your shoulders.
Slowly look up at Lukersch s face. Then he had what an unspeakable grin, like a mixture of joy, bewilderment and a little anger.
"It's true. Suddenly I thought the letter was broken, and the guy - Mr. Arnold, the letter came from"
I can only apologize for the words. This is the second time I've ever been so worried. Although demonic raids can be unexpected, it is distressing to have similar worries twice in a short period of time.
- Unexpectedly, another shadow I was used to seeing over his shoulder peeked. That red-haired girl, maybe not.
"Petra......?
Pompous, he murmured his name in his head, pulling himself away as Lukersch had guessed. Then between me and the red-haired girl - Petra, as one thing, there is no more disability, and I have a good eye for it.
The question came to mind for a moment. But soon she would have come worried about me, too, I guess. On his previous homecoming, Petra told me he was definitely out making money. Maybe he was coming to a nearby town for a living.
Yes, I came to think of it - to be honest, I wasn't expecting Petra to still be here with my parents.
"Did Petra come all the way here, too? Thank you. I think I was worried. I'm sorry."
She shook her head without words, she said. He stares at me for a few moments, but soon Petra turns away from me. The look obviously seemed awkward, and I found that she was feeling uncomfortable right now, even without saying anything.
There is one verse that comes to mind for the reason of that expression. I got that before, a letter from Petra. - Written in trembling letters that I like Lukersch, that letter.
From Petra, I was shown a hugging scene with someone I liked and another heterosexual. Don't have any of those feelings here, it could have been frivolous behavior if I thought of the feelings of a friend. Most of all, I didn't think Petra was here until recently, so I couldn't prevent her this time.
But now that I know Petra has come, it s a different story. When I quickly took my body away from Lukersch, I took an extra distance than usual.
Lukersch has looked at me strangely, but he smiles at it. And if we gazed at Mr. Caspel half way to ask for help, he would have guessed something and opened his mouth, which had been so hard to shut that it would not interfere with our reunion until now.
"Laura, you don't mind getting as much rest as you want! I wish I could say... but I'm sorry, I can only take 10 days off..."
"That's enough. I'm sorry I couldn't."
Even though I smile softly, Mr. Caspel doesn t break his sorry face. I'm sure the kind boss regrets sending me to Platonovena in and of itself.
"Instead, I can't say a lot about this one... again when I get back, let me apologize"
That said, Mr. Caspel bowed his head deeply.
I shook my head very loudly, but Mr. Caspel's expression softened quite a bit.
Then have a good holiday.
Leaving the words behind, Mr. Caspel turned his heel back from the spot. The hindsight looks thinner than before. In the matter of the Platonovena raid, Mr. Caspel apparently put it through quite a bit, and was still being pursued at the end of the day.
After Mr. Caspel leaves, I, Lukersch and Petra look at each other out of no-one. I nodded without words, and now I took a step forward - the moment.
"Ampere"
Stopped. If I looked back to the voice and name I was already perfectly familiar with my ears, I would have stood there so that Arnold could lean against the wall.
I thought I didn t say hello to my immediate predecessor before the holidays, I said a word of no to the Lukersches before rushing over.
Perhaps Mr. Caspel and Arnold took this vacation. And now that you're here on purpose to see me off by sewing between busy times, I need to say hello properly before I go home. - Maybe it just happened.
"Excuse me, you have 10 days off"
"Oh, get some rest."
He nodded softly, inadvertently doing that gaze behind my back. If I looked back, too, to be invited by what was going on and that gaze, Lukersch, who was supposed to have been waiting for me near the gate, stood right behind me.
"Mr. Arnold."
A few steps, Lukersch comes forward and lines up next to me. I thought, momentum lowered its head.
I panicked at the sudden behavior of childhood tampering, but Arnold, the person with his head lowered, did not move at all, but instead looked down at Lukersch with cold eyes.
"Thank you for protecting Laura"
"... I didn't do anything to thank you"
As always, these two don't fit. In the sword-soaked air that drifts between them, I lurk my breath and extinguish my presence as much as possible.
Is it also worn in such a setting that it is not compatible with Lukersch and Arnold? In a few years' time, Lukersch will embark on a journey with Arnold's sister Elvira to save the world, so there will be no less involvement.
If he was worried about childhood taming and the future of his predecessors on his own, Arnold turned his heel back from the spot without words. At that time, my gaze flew here for a moment, so I had a light conversation and glanced sharper than usual. Lukersch, on the other hand, who still kept his head down, slowly raised his head as he found out Arnold was far away due to the signs. But he doesn't walk right out to the gate, staring at Arnold's back as he drifts away.
I was staring at the side of Lukersch like that again from a diagonal back, and I was accidentally called out.
"That man, the magician of the example?
It's Petra who's been asking.
Honestly, I didn t immediately understand what her question meant. What is an example magician?
I lean my neck and ask back.
"An example?
"Me, I'm on my way to the town of Rem right now, and I also heard about Platonovena being attacked by demons there. I've heard a lot of rumors... about a brunette, dark-eyed magician, a hero who left the demon with overwhelming power."
The words slammed out of Petra s mouth contained multiple pieces of new information for me, and it took a little while to swallow them accurately.
First, that Petra is out earning money as far as the town of Lem. I knew I was on the run, but I'd never heard of the town of Lem before.
The town of Lem is certainly the closest “town” to the village of Emme. Compared to Wang Capital, it is small, but it is a harbour town with quite a few things, facilities and people.
And I found one of the reasons why Petra is here, I felt. The city of Lem lies between the village of Emme and the king's capital, Chevalia. In terms of distance, the village of Emme is much closer, but the carriage to the Wang capital should have passed quite a bit.
♪ And one more thing.
The brunette dark-eyed magician that Petra spoke of, rumored to be. That's probably, no, ten, eighty-nine, about Arnold.
When I heard he was even called a hero, I suspected for a moment that he really meant Arnold I knew, but on second thought, I could tell him that the name deserved it. Because Arnold saved a city with that power. - Not by himself, but by working with Alec and the others.
"... right. It's about Mr. Arnold, I'm sure."
I wondered if I was the youngest and became a King s concoction, and was held hostage to a hero who saved a city with such rare magic. It makes a whole lot of laughter at the addition and subtraction of its settings. No less than the main character, no, it's rather more active than that.
Arnold is a character who doesn t appear in Last Brave. Therefore, it is not known what position he will be in in the future to be involved in the Demon King crusade. But in my current position, the public should know more about its existence than the other main characters. I don't think it will fall within the purview of being just a "brother character” in the future, considering how it contributes to this world today and its high specs, but fulfill it.
For once, I am also supposed to be a human on the side called genius when it comes to conditioning things - should I say it was a frog in the well or there was a top one? When I put Arnold forward, I feel like I'm just a normal person.
Besides, my childhood is the brave man of the future. It must be because of this environment that Mr. Caspel and his geniuses don't pin it that far to get a proper compliment.
"Nevertheless, Petra. Are you getting along with Luca?
"Ah... sorry"
Petra lays down her eyelids awkwardly and shrinks herself. To her reaction, I rush to deny the earlier words that my question would have sounded disgusting to some people who listen.
"What, no, there's no such weird inclusions! I just wanted to say that I was a little surprised and glad...
"Will you let me go?
It was an unexpected word.
I remember a letter from Petra that I received before. Certainly that letter also contained a sentence asking me for forgiveness.
From Petra s perspective, I wonder what my position is. I wonder why you want my forgiveness. Whose forgiveness is there when people like people? - No, in this world, there may be God's (blame) forgiveness.
Whatever it was, it was obvious that I wasn't in a position to say this. In the first place, I'm not even going to say this. I'm just a little worried about my friend's future.
I laughed and let him wave in front of me.
"Loose or nothing, because me and Lukersch are just childhood friends"
Just childhood taming. “I" laughed bitterly at the word as it slipped out of my mouth. “I” have seen in the past that the childhood taming of losing heroines is very similar to what I used to say. They hide their hearts with those words and end up breaking into love.
Petra laughed as relieved by my words. That smile still makes me feel like a muddy young man, but it's so adorable and I guess I'm going to be more and more polished. To dig up “me" memories, I remember feeling that while NPC, Petra also had that noticeable hair color, it was quite a powerful modeling.
But at the same time, I remembered the face of the heroine in this world who was more powerful in modeling than any other character. She was more noble and beautiful than anyone in this world.
In a few years, will I also be given the opportunity to face her? Look at her standing next to childhood tame, what I'll think.
Smell of grass, gentle wind, clear air.
As the carriage rocks me, oh, I realize I'm back. I took a few big deep breaths and indulged in the air in my hometown, and the carriage accidentally stopped.
It's been a long time, Emme's village!
I quickly pack up and get out of the carriage. At the entrance to the town - waving this way, there was a look of my parents.
"Laura!"
I flogged my tired body on a long carriage journey and jumped directly from the carriage to my parents with my hands spread out. As soon as I can, I can hug you. I felt like I was being blamed for being a little worried about that too much strength.
"Father, Mother! I'm home!"
I wonder why the two faces looked up, the wrinkles appeared more prominent than before. No, maybe I actually got more wrinkles. Ever since I went to King's Capital, I've left my parents with a lot of hard work. I swear I'll be filial. This body probably. Honestly there was no cause for me, nor was there any trouble I could avoid in these places, but still my chest ached.
I can loosen the power of the arms that hold me. If I looked up at my parents' faces, each hand was attached to both cheeks.
That hand that caresses me gently, as if to spoil me. That makes me feel good, warm, and I lay down my eyelids softly...
"Welcome back, then... Happy Birthday, Laura"
"To?"
Happy birthday?
I lifted the lid I had just closed earlier. Then the expressions of loving parents are full of vision.
Happy Birthday.
I rebut the words in my head over and over again. And finally, I chewed the meaning of the word right.
Oh, yeah. I remembered. My birthday was seven days ago - a time when Elvira was bummed when she was coming to the King's Capital.
I was 15 at some point.
