Here's how it works.

Me and Licht fly magic arrows from the Count's castle to the walls surrounding the city.Fly back from there to the tower on the west side of the castle.

The reason I'm turning back is because magic arrows can't fly around.Instead of forcing a short distance, it is more secure to step between them.

"The problem is how to deal with the soldiers in the west...."

Even if you sneak in, there's nothing you can do if they find you.

Laura reacts to my tweets like that.

"I can't say for sure, but it might be okay.

"Why?"

"If the patrolling soldiers were watching us, we wouldn't have to put them on the west side."

That's true.

And we're deploying that many soldiers.I don't think we can afford to turn west on a few.

If there's a plan to prevent it on the water...

If we break through the water, we may have a chance.

Licht opened his mouth.

"Well, well! Let's go, Mr. Alberto!I'll apologize if they find me!If I walked properly, I'd be lost!

"Properly, you...."

"It's okay! Don't underestimate my apology!

Apologies.

An amazing word came out.

"I won't complain to the Count.I've been handled with a lot of flirtation!I'd rather tell the Count what's right!

I also felt that the spirit was changing somehow, but it was conveyed that Richard's anger was deep.

... well, we can't just leave here.

That suspicious countess is lying and hiding the Third Princess.It could be a royal crisis.We cannot overlook him as a nobleman of the kingdom.

"Laura"

Yes!

"We're going to the west tower.I'm on my own, but be careful. "

"It's okay! Good luck to Alberto and the others!

Laura shook her hands tightly and said so.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

That evening, Richard and I came to the balcony on the high floor of the castle.

Fly from here to the walls surrounding the city.

I chose a little dark time to break into the castle.But when it's completely dark, the sky can't fly.I don't have much time.

Let's go, Licht.

"Yes, what should I do?

Give me a hug.

Huh?

Licht twitched his eyes and said again.

"... eh?

"Hold me."

Huh?

Licht glanced at me.

... what are you so confused about...?

"I fly the sky with magic.You have to hug me to fly with you. "

"... yes, no... well, I understand the reasoning..."

Licht is pulling his face.

"Is there anything else you can do?

"Nothing"

I looked up at the sky.

The sky darkens instantly.I don't have time to waste here...

"We don't have time. If you're uncomfortable, why don't we stop today?

"... ahhhhhh!Already! "

Richard shouted like he was finished.

"You'll have to hug me tomorrow anyway!?In that case, even if I hug you today, you're still with me!?

That's what it's gonna be like.

That is the only way to save this country.

"Then I'll do it!I'm ready for the man Licht!

... is that enough to make you nervous?

Licht put his hand around my belly and stuck it to my body.

"This is it, Mr. Alberto!

"You're pulling back a little.You'd better tighten your arms a little bit.If you loosen it, it will fall. "

"Khhhhhhh!It's going to be called "Eug" exactly!

As he shouted, Licht tightened his arms and snuggled in tightly.

... what do you care so much about?

I noticed a little, but I don't have time to slow down.I turned my right hand forward and said the trigger word.

"Magic Arrow"

In no time did we reach the wall surrounding the city.

Now turn around and fly to the castle - the roof of the tower standing on its west side.

"Magic Arrow"

Through the dim sky, Richard and I arrived on the roof of the tower on purpose.

You're free to go, Licht.

"Phew... it's quite amazing... I didn't like it, but it was surprisingly fun."

Licht said that while away from me.

That's Mr. Alberto!You just defeated that crest master.I can't believe you can even use the magic of flying flights!

... flight?

"Magic Arrow?

"Ahahahaha!Mr. Alberto, you can't tease me because I'm an amateur of magic!Magic Arrows are attack magic!You can't fly!

"Magic Arrow?

"Yes, I'm surprised you like jokes, Mr. Alberto!

"Magic Arrow?

"I understand already!That's Mr. Alberto's story!

My words were heard lightly. [M]

... it's a magic arrow...

You didn't seem to believe me for some reason.

We squander our time on the rooftop until dark, and the city sinks at night before going downstairs.

The inside of the tower sank at night.There are lamps that automatically illuminate due to their magic, so it's not difficult to walk around.

There was no sign of anyone anywhere.As Laura predicted, there were no soldiers on the east side.

"... Mr. Alberto, I'm under a bit of dark emotion."

"What is that?

"Hey hey, you put me behind the Count who keeps making me crazy!It's like, "Oh, my God!"

"That's good."

"I'm going to break through here and stuff the Count, kufufu!

... well, it's impossible for Licht to get angry...The Count wasn't dealing properly with Richard...

"I came to the west tower, but what do we do from here?

There seems to be no surveillance of the soldiers, but it's not like there's nobody there.Keeping the doors open and looking inside is just as risky.

"... well, I just came with momentum without thinking about anything..."

Didn't you think...?

"But if the Third Princess's people are here, I think they're talking in the room.Why don't you listen from outside the room and try to come in if it sounds like it?

I see.

I thought it was not a bad idea.

"... and do you remember the face of the Third Princess?

"Ah"

I just said ah.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!I don't remember everyone!I remember your maid is a twin!

"Twin maids?

"Yes, they're both really alike.He was originally a knight of the kingdom, so he also guarded the princess. "

Heh.

"Well, I can handle it, maybe!

I just said, maybe.

... well, even if Licht doesn't remember, he will remember the aristocrat Licht.

As he walked sneaking through the tower, Licht listened to the door.

I've been doing this for a while.

Licht pointed at the door with his finger as he complained with his eyes.

I hear a conversation.

Richard whispered.

I'm still listening with a serious face.

"Hmm... it's a little hard to hear... but it looks like we're having a conversation..."

I see.

... the question is whether to enter the room here...If you make an inadvertent mistake, it will not be recovered.

Licht also seemed to be worried.

But...

I didn't have to worry.

Suddenly the door opened with great momentum.

"Bhee!?

Licht, struck by the door, flashfully blows up and sits down with his back against the wall of the aisle.

Someone came out the door.

Silver flashes with a loud noise.Someone pulled out the sword and stuck it between Richard's eyebrows.

"Who are you?!Sneak out in front of the door!You didn't think I'd find out!

A sharp voice sounds like lightning strikes.

It was the woman in glasses who showed up.He is wearing a maid's clothes and holding a sword in his right hand.

... a maid with a sword?

Did you just hear that story...?

Hmm?

The maid frowned.The eyes were staring at Licht.

"... Viscount Licht?Why are you here?

"Ahahahaha... I'm so glad you remembered."

Looking still at the maid's face, Licht continued.

"Long time no see, Mio"

The maid, called Mio-san, stared at Licht and returned it.

"... I'm Rio."

The air froze.
