Lead the other world.

7-16 Proclamation of Death

Around the time Iris and Lumiere were meeting, citrus vegetables were laughing at their mouths remembering what had happened today and looking up at the ceiling sleeping alone in their bets.

I still have no reaction from Lux who is in my mind world, and the citrus vegetables have spent more time alone for a long time.

And when I was alone, the citrus vegetables wanted to meet Takumi and the walnuts, and I was worried about what they were doing now, and thinking about what was going to happen to me would make my chest anxious and painful.

But the citrus nowadays had regained its mental composure compared to when it was caught and woken up. The cause of this would be a lot that Elle came to visit me yesterday, today and in my room.

Having barely ever walked outside, Elle sparkled her eyes at every single story of her citrus adventure, so much so that she had a nostalgic personality on top of listening to me in a truly enjoyable way that citrus wanted to be her own sister.

Citrus vegetables exhaled and clouded his expression with new information he heard from Elle.

(I'm also surprised that Elle is Zayn's sister, but I can't believe that happened to Zayn and the others in the past...)

Citrus asked Elle this evening about taking care of the captain Zain had previously spoken of. Then Elle lay her eyes down and told us what had happened to her in the past.

- Whoa, whoa.

In the first place, Zayn and Elle did not live in Radatome from the beginning, but lived amicably in an abandoned village near Radatome.

But one day. Elle and Zain only seemed to see each other for a moment, but something appeared in the village that looked like a person. And I hadn't noticed because of Elle's ill health and Zain's clarity and medical attention, but by the time he disappeared from the village and Elle's health was back, Zain noticed a village anomaly.

The villagers, including the two parents, had lost their expressions and looked unusual like their souls had been plucked without even feeling emotions such as joy and sorrow like robots.

At first he pretended not to see it because of his mind, but by the day Zayn took Elle and hurried away from the village, seeing unusual behavior that seemed not to be human, eating things that people did not think they would eat.

Until he fled to Radatome, a comparatively nearby large city, Zayn was still young and small body sheltering Elle while dangerously monsters proceeded cautiously, but the design, where food was finally running out and nervously moving half a day away from Radatome, was fatigued and his feet were stuck.

And finally, the two of them are found by a herd of B-ranked monsters as bosses, in a situation of absolute desperation. One more step, and Elle, who was trembling with remorse and fear of being killed, Zain did not give up until the end of his already exhausted strength.

Zain fought one man recklessly to protect Elle from the herd of monsters with one long sword he was carrying out of the village. It was Zayn, who had never even held the sword, but there Zayn was to notice the genius of his own.

He showed his opponent a monster with seven or so bodies, with a small body and a skillful sword judgment. Then Zain finally runs out of energy and loses consciousness, but soon Claire, head of the Knights of the Radatome Empire, appears. Apparently, according to Claire, she tried to get into the help right away, but watched with interest for the amazing battle of young Zain.

Then Zayn and Elle, liked by Claire, were treated like their own children, and Zayn seemed to be given the title of "Guardian Knight" until now, with Claire educating herself in brilliance and becoming a knight of Radatome as young as Weiner.

By the way, it seems only Claire and the members of The Guardian Knight are talking about this. I asked Elle if she was happy to hear the citrus vegetables, and Elle was adept at telling me that she wasn't particularly stopped.

- Whoa, whoa.

(Ha, I'd like to do something to cure Elle's illness as well... I feel like my masters can fix it.)

Citrus clouded his expression, and when he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard knocking on the door.

-Concon.

I rushed up to the door on a small run wondering who the citrus would be at such a late hour.

(Who is it? Is that Zayn? But at this late hour...)

And it was when the citrus trees approached the door. The magic of the lock on the door disappeared and the door slowly opened inward.

"You're the one who has a deal with the Spirit."

He was a citrus fruit that had confronted quite a few dangerous monsters since he came to this world, but he was not overwhelmed by the unusual air of the person standing in front of him, and he butted on the spot, shaking his body small.

Then a chain wrapped around the citrus fruit body suddenly wrapped around the light from the left and right spaces of the person's face, and was beaten vigorously against the wall of the room as it was.

"Ha!?

Citrus tries to escape the chain by wrapping it around his body without knowing what happened, but he was unable to move his body by a millimeter without any force at all because of the collar.

Then the collar suddenly glowed and assimilated to the chain, fixing the body in a crucified position.

"To be in tune with my collar means you're an example."

When the citrus tree turned to its voice, Claire, leader of the Knights of the Radatome Empire, a man with long and beautiful silver hair and silver eyes in Radatome Imperial Knights armor made of monster material that she had never seen, came into the room, closed the door and locked the door with a magic item.

"So, who?

"A person speaking with whose permission......!

Citrus asked in a trembling voice, Claire shot through the citrus with a sharp glance at the citrus.

"Ahhh... do, hey... stop!? Forgive me, sorry!?

Then the collar assimilated to the chain emitted light, while the chain, which was wrapped around the citrus fruit, began to tighten as if it were crushing the body, and the citrus fruit, which felt life-threatening and screamed, apologized to squeeze out its trembling voice.

And then the chains loosened again, and the citrus fruit coughed up and zeroed its puffiness and tears, and turned a frightened eye to Claire. But Claire opened her mouth without worrying about such painful citrus fruit.

"Don't open your mouth except for my question. Let's hear your name first."

"Kiryu... Citrus"

Claire frowned when she named her citrus vegetables in a trembling voice.

"Is it Yamato's name? The list of adventurers seemed to have Yamato origins, but why were you in Arezelle?

"To see your brother's friends..."

"Ho... a person with an elf friend"

Claire groaned intriguingly before turning her attention to the citrus fruit again.

"Well, I heard you had a deal, big spirits."

"Yes......"

"I guess. Looks like you can expect this..."

So grunting Claire had a grin on her mouth, but her eyes seeing those citrus vegetables were ruthless.

"You will be part of the power of the city for the rest of your life, and will be a research material. Well, I've begged Zain to treat me as a guest until I'm ready... Are you kidding me?

As soon as Claire narrowed her eyes and shot through the citrus vegetables and tried to hear something again, she heard someone knock on the door and Claire glanced at the door and exhaled.

"Zain... Well, don't tell anyone what I just came here for or the interaction that happened. If you say so, more powerful pain will strike you."

"Yes..."

Citrus vegetables receiving Claire's killing nearby reminded me of earlier, and when I replied small, Claire used a magic item to disappear from the spot, as well as the chain that was tying the body of the citrus vegetables disappeared. Only the collar remained, and the citrus vegetables fell straight into the ground.

And I heard the sound and voice knocking again from across the door.

"Hey, is something wrong? Reply."

The citrus, which fell to the ground, also fell against the wall, stood up slowly, out of breath, and answered with every cheerful voice he could, as close as he could to the door.

"What's wrong, Zain...?

"I think I heard something bump. Are you okay?"

Citrus lay his eyes down, even though he thought it would probably still be the sound of the citrus being slammed on the back by the wall before closing the door.

"Citrus...? Hey, what's up?

"Haha, I fell a little. I'm sorry, I'm fine."

Citrus wanted to tell me to help, but I answered that with a small laugh to push and kill the feelings and delude them.

Then after a while Zain's slightly worried voice returned.

"Right... I'm sorry I bothered you."

"Yeah, but thanks...... Good night."

"Oh, good night"

And when I heard the footsteps that kept me away from the room, the citrus fruit that had lost its strength sat on the ground and started crying again. Help me, with the thought that no one can tell me.
