Good day, gentlemen. I'm Luche Lina Listil.
"Yesterday was a disaster, Larum."
I welcomed the liberated larm as I ate the cake Luca baked for me.
"Absolutely, Princess. Nobody's gonna believe me, okay?
Isn't Larum terrible? And I said, he was fumbling.
"But Master Adolphe isn't too scared, either, but Luca is too scared. What is it, that girl? It's so staring at me."
"Luca? My squire. It's amazing what you can do."
"A squire... I don't really think I can clean that up with the word squire..."
"Well, Luca is amazing."
"You don't get it!? That was awesome!?
Larum complains to me in tears. Seems like he had a really bad eye.
"Fair enough... So what happened with Gowen after all?"
"You've been a little tired lately, in the wind of something bothering you. But it's nothing to ask what's going on. It's a stiff..."
(No way, you're not saying anything because Larum is so persistent... No, no, no)
I shook my head saying that was just not possible.
"Since when?
"Mmm. Long before the princesses came from Wang Du. But I got tougher after the example princess thing, but..."
"Before we came. Hey... Exactly. I don't know."
I don't know when it gets that far. In the first place, I haven't seen that troubled Gowen. Well, I suppose that includes the matter of my proposal, but I don't think Gowen can help but worry about it.
"That's right..."
The two of us get bored.
"That's enough, I'll listen"
I decided to ask Gowen clearly because I was disgusted by this ever less progressing situation.
"Yes!?
"You care, don't you? It doesn't make sense to keep thinking about things you don't know, and you still don't. There's only one thing to do!
"A princess is such a doer, isn't she? I think I'm falling in love."
"What are you talking about? You don't have a choice, do you? Still, things don't work.
"I was wondering if you could answer me?
Larum looks at me worried.
"I don't know, but I'll just do it. Even if I'm bored here, it won't reveal anything. Outside, I might be able to answer that."
"That's right... Sorry, princess."
Nice to meet you.
As me and Larum were searching for Gowen, the hindsight caught my eye. Larum hides in the bush.
"Gowen!"
I stopped Gowen.
"Oh, princess..."
Gowen, who noticed me, stopped walking and looked back.
Good afternoon.
I grinned.
"Master Rouchet. What's the matter, sir? If Lord Glenn or His Royal Highness Rasmere..."
"Gowen, I need to ask you something."
"What is it?
"Doesn't it look like you've been having trouble with something with your face lately? What's the matter with you?
I threw a super straight ball at Gowen. "Princess!?" I thought I heard Larum screaming, "but it's my fault. Don't come out!?
To my ultra-rigid fastball, Gowen is also twisted.
"Oh, really? It's my fault..."
"It's not like you want to hear a word over this period, because of your mind? That Larum is enough to talk to a kid like me. I care a lot."
"Larum..."
Gowen looks surprised.
"I care about you, so do something for him"
"... inconvenience to Master Rouchet..."
"You don't have to worry about me. You have a lot of trouble with me, so..."
"There's no such thing as annoyance"
"Thanks. So, what are you having trouble with? Oh, if you can't tell me, you don't have to."
You should really ask, but you won't like it if you go too deep. Only, if you'll talk to me, I'll ask, it's style.
"No, I'm fine. It's... it's not that deep a reason. You went to a war tablet 13 years ago the other day."
"Yes."
"Truth be told, I've never been there before."
"Uh..."
That's like a grave mark over there. I can't believe this is the first time I've been there...
"The body of my wife and daughter never came back. No, to be exact, it was charcoal and I didn't know who it was."
Speaking of which, with the weapons of the Gardia Empire, one side was extinguished per...
"I lost my wife and daughter, but I never ended up seeing the body. Is that why? I didn't feel like going over there. However, when I heard that Master Rouchet and the others were coming from the King's Capital, I thought it was time to put a foothold on it. I just had a grip on my mind. I didn't know Larum would spot me yet."
Gowen said to himself in a mockery.
"Yes, you were... You've made me say hard things."
"No, I was worried about Larum."
"I really don't like war."
I snapped bossy.
"You said you hated war."
"... what people die for. I'd like to avoid it if I could."
That I kill people myself, or that I order people to kill me, I'm sure I can't do them.
"It's a kind thing..."
The look on Gowen's face at that time was unwelcome.
"Gowen, tell Larum exactly what's bothering you."
"Yes. I'll tell him."
"Well, I'll see you now"
"Yes?"
Gowen turned his bewildered face to me.
"Larum!? Come out!!
I yelled at the nearby bushes.
No response.
"Larum!!
No response.
"Hehe.... fine. I'll drag you out."
I stick my hand in the bush.
Affordable, yes.
"Yes!? Princess ahhh!?
I pulled out when I grabbed Larum's root.
"Look, they're coming out fast!!
I had a bad round-the-clock, but at the end of the day, I slapped (beat) on the back with the intention of putting a drink in, and they quieted down.
I let Larum stand in front of Gowen.
"Talk to me!!
I'll skip all sorts of things, but I think I can handle it. Gowen's stroking Larum's head.
You were just worried about Larum about Gowen.
(Larum and Gowen don't seem to get along badly if it feels like this... I wonder what that dream is)
"Gowen? Is there anything else you're having trouble with? Except for Larum's flirting."
"Otherwise, you're in trouble."
I squirted, not to much truth in my face.
"Isn't it terrible!?
Looks like Larum was shocked by what Gowen said.
"Hehe."
I laughed at how it looked like that cont.
"Princess!! Don't laugh!!
"I'm sorry... Oh, that's funny.... Oh, Lord Rasmere."
I found His Royal Highness Rasmere, his brother Glenn, Yuan, Yuri, at the end of my sight.
They seem to have found us, too, smiling and waving.
"Oh, you all have swords. Do you even do sword arches?
"Oh dear!
Saying that, Glenn ran and came to us.
"Oh, Glenn. If you run, you'll be fine."
"Hey, Rouchet. And Gowen."
Brother Yuan came here with the same graceful smile.
"Brother Yuan, did you even do sword archery with His Highness Rasmere?
Lord Rasmere, what's wrong with your studies?
"Oh, because I saw you because of you. Because of that, and I'll make sure Rouchette gets along."
Yuan, your brother just laughed funny that it was a name idea. I definitely enjoy it.
"Yeah? Don't bother with that."
I'm not in the mood for that right now.
"Yes, I want to see the princess fighting."
"Larum!?
Oh, my God.
"That's right, Luche, let's do it"
It was His Highness Rasmere who had said that.
(No, what are you talking about!?
"I'm stronger, too. Please, fight me."
No way, His Highness Rasmere bowed his head.
(Yep, yep, yep!!!
I meant to look fine, but in my heart I'm screaming.
(That H.R. Rasmere bowed his head. Oh!!!???)
I thought it was pretty rude on the inside, but you're letting me get this far, and I can tell you not to do it? No, I can't tell you. It hurts everyone's gaze...
"... I get it. Let's do it. But let me get dressed, okay?
I'm sorry to peel my legs like last time. You should have taken it seriously.
"Okay. Waiting."
"Later, then."
I headed to my room in heavy footsteps.
I wore practicing clothes exactly. My practice clothes are blue based, like military men wear. On my jacket to knee length, with my perfect black trousers and boots, I headed into the garden again. Tie your hair tight that gets in the way.
"Thank you for waiting."
When I returned to the garden, Gowen and Brother Yuan were fighting. But just as well, adults and children, Gowen has the advantage.
Brother Yuan, you're strong.
The motion without waste is very graceful.
The two of them stopped the sword when they realized I was here.
"Somehow, you really look just like Master Aida"
Gowen had his eyes open.
"That's a lot to say."
Then the pattern is "I'm glad my personality is not similar".
"You're here, Luche."
"Yes, thank you."
I took the handed mock sword and set it up.
I don't hate sharpening nerves.
(Sorry, but I'm not willing to lose)
It moved at the same time.
The sound of the swords competing echoes again and again.
(Sure, it's getting stronger. It also became stronger. If...)
I waved away the sword that His Highness Rasmere would push at his disposal. His Royal Highness Rasmere glanced forward, but what a rotation of his body, he has swung his sword up from the bottom.
(You're lying!?
In an attempt to prevent it, I crouched down and kicked up with my feet the sword in the hand of His Highness Rasmere in front of me.
Kin.
"Ah."
The sword circled and stabbed him in the back.
(Wow. I did it. I won, but it won't tighten.)
"Ha ha!!!! Luche, you, the last one is a masterpiece!!
Yuan, your brother had a big laugh.
