The door to the dorm room was knocked on the holiday morning.
The moment Chelsea and I looked at each other, no matter who the hell it was,
"Laura Ampere"
Through the door, I heard Elvira.
To Chelsea with her neck tilted - there is no mate between her and Elvira - I smile and open the door that I know her. Then across the door, Elvira stood looking up at this one, as you can imagine.
In the meantime, and invite Elvira into the room.
"Elvira, what's wrong?
"Try this."
What was offered was a healing pill in a container. Though it was not the explanation, I can speculate that it would be a restorative drug made by Elvira.
I thought they would have asked me to taste it, and I put my mouth on it that I was offered and drank it down.
"... How's it going?
"Yeah, perfect"
If you answer, the color of relief spreads on Elvira's face. She seems happy to see where her cheeks are reddish, but she "seems" to be the only one who doesn't try to put that on the table.
Either I accidentally reacted to the spilled grin, or Elvira looked up at me again. I felt like I had been blamed for laughing in my powerful black eyes and pulled my grin in a daze, but the next moment I jumped out of her mouth were words I didn't expect.
"Do you have time for this today? If there is... I want you to go shopping with me"
- I don't want you to anxiously lower your brow butt and ask me to do that with a peeping up-and-coming look. I was half-reflexively nodding at Elvira's words.
As always, the Holiday King's Capital is full of people. He was walking down the main street holding hands with Elvira so as not to fall off.
Nevertheless, it rolled out to the city without even asking for a detailed purpose. She asked me to go shopping with her, but now.
"By the way, Elvira, what are you buying?
"Wrapper paper and a little trinket"
"A little trinket?
"I haven't decided what to buy yet. When you ask me what I want, my brother says he doesn't need anything..."
Brother, I was convinced that Elvira was about to give a gift to someone she knew so thinly about that word.
"A gift for Mr. Arnold?
Kokuri, and Elvira nodded small. On that side of the leaning down, a deep shadow falls.
"I'm just struggling with your brother..."
So the words were broken, but Elvira thought of a gift to thank her. What a jerk.
Beautiful sibling love can't be shown like this without helping.
I crouched when I stopped my leg and gazed at Elvira. And he asks, staring anxiously at some shaky black eye.
"Wrapping paper is for wrapping recovery pills? Then I guess I'd rather have a dedicated case."
I can't protect myself from shock with just wrapping paper. Though not so sturdy, there are dedicated cases in large stores that follow the shape of containers properly.
Elvira, who would not have known the case existed, turned her eyes round and then nodded slowly. Receive that as consent to my proposal, and take Elvira's hand to go for the tool shop that the King's Capital prides itself on.
Eventually, the tool shop you see is big and luxurious. "Last Brave" boasted the best selection of several tool stores.
Enter the store and find what you are looking for. I had a little trouble finding it because of a product I don't normally buy - but at the wall, a container of restorative medicine was placed in one corner.
"There's plenty."
"You can choose your favorite pattern."
If you speak that way to Elvira looking up at the shelves, she leaned down.
As she rushed into Elvira's face wondering if there would have been any disrespect, she lowered her brow butt and said with a very sad look, in a tone that seeped some yawning.
"I... don't know"
"Don't you see?
"What your brother likes, I don't know. Because your brother hasn't been home for a long time."
I'm annoyed by Elvira's words.
- I was young to cure my sister's difficult illness and apprenticed to a cook, and Arnold has always dedicated everything. Everything, for my beloved sister. But as a result, the time to make contact with that sister has been extremely reduced.
I guess I have no choice. That's because Elvira also knows enough, to just dive in and say it like this, not to cry and try to sue.
"Because I'm sad if you don't give me something I don't like and you don't take it. So I've been with your brother for a long time. I was hoping you could follow me to Laura."
Looking down at Elvira, who has leaned down, I think.
I'm sure she missed you. And you must have been desperate to put up with that.
You worried about me for being silent, Elvira glances up at me for a moment. Returning to me in those black eyes, I smiled at her. And
"... I honestly don't know what Mr. Arnold likes either"
If I tell you so honestly, Elvira obviously dropped her shoulder. Keep the word going while I prefer that honesty.
"But I know that Mr. Arnold loves Elvira."
- Elle, I know the kindness of that voice calling my sister, the kindness of my gaze at my sister. Arnold's figure, who strongly said he couldn't die for Elvira, resuscitates behind his brain.
Elvira and I don't doubt the affection from my brother. But that's why she's not yet an adult enough to delude loneliness.
Gradually to my words but Elvira softened her stiff expression. But I wasn't entirely convinced, I smiled at my adorable mouth as it remained pulled together, while speaking my heart out.
"Elvira will be happy if she decides to worry about this for Mr. Arnold."
Yeah, and Elvira was small, but she did smile and nod. And from the various cases arranged on the shelf in front of him, Elvira took the time to select one design.
- Then I visited the grocery store to look after the trinkets I would give along with the recovery pills. While getting advice from the clerk, it wasn't that one. A scattered, distressed statement that this wasn't it, what Elvira eventually took was a beautiful fountain pen in black, the same color as the Rocco brothers' hair and eyes.
It was the next day. When the sun began to tilt, the dorm room door was slammed modestly.
If you open the door, there's Elvira standing with an uneasy look on her face, just like yesterday. What's different from yesterday is that she has a big bag in her hand.
"Elvira, what's wrong?
"Your brother's not in the room..."
That's what Elvira said and leaned down.
Perhaps some of the bags she has contain the recovery pills and fountain pens she prepared yesterday. I visited Arnold's room to give it to him, but he didn't look like his brother there, did you?
"Yeah, well, who's in the mixing room? Like a library..."
"I looked everywhere with Mel, but I wasn't anywhere"
"Then..."
Apparently, the royal castle made an obvious search. But when you're nowhere to be - it could be the inn where your master is staying.
That's what I came up with, I took Elvira's hand and left the royal castle. Then set foot in the inn with the twilight sun sideways. I tried to go straight up the front stairs, but I thought it might be possible that Arnold and the others were arguing about autopsy, and I asked Elvira to temporarily ask the lady husband of a familiar inn.
Go up the stairs and stop in front of the room where your master is still staying. I have stayed for quite a long time, but I knocked on the door in front of my eyes, worrying that the cost of accommodation might be high, etc.
"Master, excuse me"
If I speak up, I open the door because I get a distracted reply saying, "Oh." Ahead...
"That, he's not here"
Though I looked right into the room, Arnold was nowhere to be seen.
The master, who was sitting in bed and reading some literature, asks as he slightly rounds his eyes at the sudden visit of his disciple.
"What's wrong, Laura?"
"I'm suddenly sorry. Looking for Mr. Arnold..."
"Oh, I just got here."
Apparently, my suspicions weren't off. It just seemed a little late.
I dropped my shoulder disappointingly and groaned with a sigh.
"So you misplaced it..."
"No, he said he was going home in the wind a little bit, but he might still be walking around."
Your master says Arnold is about to walk away. There, it's hard for me to think of, so I might as well give up finding Arnold in the King's Capital. I think I'd rather be ambushed in front of the royal castle dorm room.
I turn again to my master to exit the room. Then, accidentally, your master inquired.
"Elvira is now learning about recovery drugs from your Lord."
Has Arnold spoken? While I'm surprised, I honestly nod because it's nothing to hide.
"Yes. Looks like he wanted to give his brother some healing pills. … and in the event of a recurrence of autologous disease, with some knowledge of the person, the situation may change slightly."
In my words my master nodded several times as satisfied. As a master, I may have thought the same thing when I heard about Elvira.
Secondly, I notice that there are several books stacked on the table. All I could see was the cover of the literature placed at the top, but to see from the letters spelled out on the cover, it seemed to be written about the know-how of the formulation. Your master won't need anything more now, tilting his neck.
"What has your master been up to lately? There's some literature..."
"Oh, my little businesswoman has been coming on a whim lately. My selfish daughter, but this reminds me of my old lord again, genius."
I'm kind of uncomfortable being stared at by Niyaniya. I asked overlapping staring at the literature so as not to look at each other.
"Instruct that child who comes on a whim?
"That's not true. Wow. The Lord has been showing his face lately for a little while."
To the sound of a obstinate master, I look at her unexpectedly.
The master came to Wang Capital of his own free will and still remains here of his own free will. I didn't impose it, but the beginning in the first place was to teach me and Arnold about autopsy. Although there have been no signs of a recurrence of Elvira's autopsy here lately, it could have left your master alone.
"Shh, excuse me. There's a lot of flutter."
"Arnold told me. You're busy coaching two juniors."
The master raises his voice and laughs at me in a panic. I finally understood that I had been overwhelmed.
I turn to my master again as I feel my cheeks blush slightly. And
"Next time, let me introduce the juniors if you like"
I'm sure it will be a good experience rarely gained, even for Iris and Mr. Basilio.
To my words, my master laughed and nodded at me somewhere tickled.
Exit the conversation from the room at the end. And back to the inn reception, Elvira was relaxing on the sofa in the inn waiting room.
The innkeeper's mistress, who noticed my appearance, shrugged her shoulders and smiled bitterly at that face as she glimpsed Elvira. I rushed over, wondering what was going on, and there was - I was tired of looking for my brother, and I snuck up on Elvira rowing the boat.
I smile bitterly, lurk my feelings and say words to Elvira.
"Mr. Arnold, I thought you were here. But he said he left a while ago. I was wondering if it would be quicker to wait at the royal castle... in the meantime, let's look for it while we go back"
Yeah, and Elvira's eyes aren't open to snort in slower movements than usual. Looks like we're on the verge of traveling to the world of dreams.
"I'm sleepy?
I nodded again at my inquiry - and the little body fell here and there. Elvira, who somehow took it this way, was resting in peace with ease.
I smile bitterly at my mistress and face to face. I'll have to take this back to the Royal Castle.
"Do you want to bring a young mon? Laura will break her bones when she leaves for the royal castle."
"No, it's okay"
Turning down my mistress's thankful offer, I bear Elvira. Moments, I accidentally roared at the weight I felt more firmly than I imagined.
“I” tend to think of Elvira as a little girl away from her age, and that's actually not a mistake, but I'm also a fifteen-year-old girl whose body hasn't grown up yet. Considering that, it becomes a medium heavy labor.
That being said, it is not an impossible weight to bear. I'll figure it out, and I'll get back in the mood. And I asked my mistress not to drop the gift Elvira had, and she put it in her handbag, and she left the inn with it.
(Elvira got bigger too......)
Realizing the weight on my back, I think it's like Elvira's grandmother.
In a situation that still does not allow prediction about autopsy, it even surfaced to the new problem of being targeted by demons. But since I came to the Wang capital, I think I have seen from the side that I have had a relatively calm day.
Without even a recurrence of autologous disease, perhaps we could accompany Lukersch on his journey as well. That's the future I wanted. But lately, I've come to think of one factor that could inhibit that future. It's
(I wonder if Arnold will allow his sister, who was suffering from difficulty, to embark on a journey...)
Presence of an overprotective brother. He, who did not exist in "Last Brave," can revolt violently that he cannot put his precious sister on a dangerous journey called the Demon King Crusade. No, rather, the opposite seemed extremely natural.
Although the major problem of autopsy has come to a paragraph for now, the problem is still piling up. I get distracted by the boulders when I think that the only way I can finish everything and slow it down is after Lukersch defeats the Demon King.
Ha, and the moment I sighed unknowingly, I shrugged, and Elvira was about to slip off my back. At that moment when I rushed to carry it back,
"What are you doing"
Fluffy, and the weight that was on his back disappeared. At the same time, it was the voice of the person who was searching for it that rocked the eardrum.
I look back in panic. Then he played face-to-face with Arnold, who held Elvira up from my back.
"Mr. Arnold!
"How did you and Elle get here?"
"Elvira was looking for Mr. Arnold."
Answer as you wipe the sweat that was floating on your forehead. Then Arnold, out of few words, understood generally, wrinkled between his eyebrows.
"... seems to be causing a lot of trouble, sorry"
I shake my head reflexively loud because it's something I apologize for with a bitter, chilling voice that clogged my throat.
"I told you not to worry about it."
Though he spoke so, Arnold's expression never cleared up very well, and the two of them walked out on the road to the royal castle with heavy air.
Steal a look at Elvira's sleeping face sleeping in Arnold's arms. She was burying her face on Arnold's chest with a reassuring face.
(Elvira is also tired of formulating restorative drugs, I guess because I've been working so hard)
If I had remembered Elvira, who had desperately taught Iris and Mr. Basilio how to reconcile, I would have quickly arrived at the royal castle.
I say goodbye to Arnold, who is still wrinkled between my eyebrows looking sorry, and the moment I try to get back to the dorm room, I remember the weight of the luggage I was wearing on my arm. What should I do with the gift Elvira was trying to give my brother? Misunderstood to give Arnold "It's Elvira's luggage" and so on here and now, he might see the contents.
Thought-- the conclusion I came to was that I would keep it.
I rush to look in my pocket, but without a note, I don't have a pen. Then we just have to ask Arnold to give us a message.
"Um, can you tell Elvira that when she wakes up, 'cause I keep the luggage'?"
"Is that Elvira's stuff? I'll take care of it."
Arnold staring at me with a strange look makes me laugh.
If you have your sister's luggage, Arnold's words that you will keep will be very natural. But if they see the contents of the luggage, Elvira might be saddened.
"No! You want me to keep it, because that's what Elvira said."
My voice has been slightly turned upside down, but it shouldn't have been so unnatural. In fact, Arnold has been staring at this one as well as exploring it, but it was never pursued any further.
Relax, pull out your shoulders and open your mouth to say goodbye again.
"Um, well, here I am..."
"Oh, I'm so sorry"
How many times has Arnold apologized this way? I feel like I've just been apologized for lately. My chest really hurts when I look like a senior who is completely exhausted.
Don't push me, it's easy if you just say so. But Arnold can't possibly keep the word, and he knows it. I have a break. Come and see Elvira, it's hard to say.
Speaking of words that I, a junior, can put to Arnold at best...
"If there's anything you can do to help me, please tell me."
Arnold didn't snort. He smiled slightly though.
