Magic Gems Gourmet

His appetite for exclusivity.

Ain't going home with a candle face. Next door, Dill walks as an escort. There was a reason why he looked like a wolf. That is in the test results distributed this time. Six months of blank and Ain't been able to take time to study, for example, on official business or on a journey to Ist.

If I said the mood at the time, it was a word of anxiety. I was also prepared to drop a pair.

That's how it started, studying with her.

Selected by a number of participants, she had become an irreplaceable and dear aide to Ain, so invincible that she could end up competent in one word.

"I'll have to thank Krone too when I get home."

"... I didn't know it was going to bloom back to the chief from there... I'm just amazed too"

This is how the test results handed over are noted. "Chief," he wrote plainly. Of course, it also includes a detailed subject rating, but it is no longer visible except for the letter of the chief.

It has been almost two months since I returned from Ist. In the meantime Ain became desperate and encouraged him to study with a competent aide (Krone).

"I already want to hold Krone."

"That's good. So why don't you do that?

Ain's feelings were so exhilarating that he ran about it.

"Yes, no... what I'm serious about is a little... you know, Dill"

"... man"

Very well. The knights in the castle were generous. As soon as I got along with it, and no one thought otherwise, my friendship with Krone is no longer an open fact. These days, however, there is additional information about the story.

That's the presence of dark hose. It's about Christina Wernstein, the new Marshal of the Knights of Istarica.

After returning from Ist., such rumors begin to flow into the castle. If we follow Big Book, we'll reach a few servants. As the same woman, Chris had a reputation for only looking "just a woman".

Especially Dill, who often comes into contact with Ain. Many of the knights and servants were asked about Ain's romantic circumstances. Mostly deceiving in the form of cloudy tea, but lately, the castle is still busy on the subject.

The only people who don't know the rumors are the real people.

"Above all, we can maintain a first set."

"Really...... Come on, hurry! I want to report it!

Ain't gonna make you look happy. I'm still happy as a dill when I see what the year deserves.... Dill also rushed out lightly, following a master who walked fast.

Ain't been able to contain his exalted feelings and walked back to the castle early.

But the air is different, and it feels like a battlefield. What the hell happened when I left the castle this morning when I said it was mild air, just like everything else? Dill, the escort, also gave an alert look.

"... the knights are in position as usual. So there was a raid...... etc. I was wondering if that was the case."

"Then it's even stranger. What's this air that feels like we're about to start a fight?"

But when I saw the look on the knights' faces, I felt more nervous than looking for battle.

--Ein visits the knight who passed by to see what happened.

"What happened?"

"Eko, this is His Royal Highness Prince Wang...... welcome home!

Bishi corrects his spine, and he looks at Ain still.

"The air in the castle is bad. I want to hear what happened."

"... Actually, we haven't received any information either..."

"Don't you know anything?... Dill, what do you think?

Ain't got a troubled face asking Dill for his opinion. Then Dill turned to the knight and preached the following words:

"You can talk without worrying.... Any idea?

The knight who hears the word puts his arms together and floats the way he is troubled. Something hard to say? But Prince Wang is asking, what's so hard to tell?

"Dear Ein!? When will you be back?

From the stairs, Chris with a tired look came down. Things that even Chris gets tired of? Ain't got more suspicion.

"Marshal. Mr. Ain wants to talk to you about the situation in the castle... I'm sorry. I didn't hear anything..."

"... you mean that. Okay, I don't mind getting back in position. I'll explain to Ein."

"I understand.... Your Highness, I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

Keep your head down, knight leaving this place. Ain't got an empty reply, too. 'Ah' and I give it back gently.

"I just left. You look tired, Mr. Chris."

"Well, yeah... actually it was quite a hassle... and because of that, I was on my way to pick up Master Ain"

"Me?

"Yes, perhaps at present, Ein is the most effective"

Even if I am said to be effective, I can't chase understanding at all. On the contrary, because there is no explanation for the air in this castle either.

"What does that have to do with the air in this castle?

"Of course it is.... Come on, I'll show you around."

"Hey, wait a minute! It's good to go, but tell me where you're going! And maybe what happened!

"Excuse me... The destination is between sight and sight. I'd like to calm down, Your Majesty."

Ain't been explained. Ain't been asked to explain. But I could understand that there was a problem with Silverado. First I think about checking the situation...... and Ain't getting behind Chris honestly. Take Dill with you and head for the sight.

As we approached between the glances, the disturbing air was also passed on to Ain. Instead, I don't even feel pushed by the pressure.

"We have arrived. Dear Ein, please proceed without fear."

"... I don't know what's going on with Grandpa. Speaking of which, the Demon King's Demon Stone moved me, didn't it?

"Without delay. It's quite a problem that Prince Wang can't get in between sights..."

"Then you'll be fine. Well... let's go."

I haven't heard where you kept it, but the Demon King's Demon Stone will be kept tight. And now I have to think about what's going on during this glimpse.

A giant door makes a noise like a tree, opening left and right. What you see inside then is Silverado sitting on the throne. Open the distance, and two of Lloyd and Warren were holding back.

The two of them looked at Ain and gave him a palpable look that help had come, that's what they thought.

"(Yep... what's this air)"

The two usual sidekicks were surprised by the situation where they had to take a distance. I make eye contact with those two, and then I turn my gaze back to Silverado. He was looking at a point where his point of view was uncertain, as if to see some void.

Right hand placed on the elbow of the throne. The index finger of that hand keeps knocking at the tongue and quietly there.

But that little move of a ton...... is also like a giant dragon. Like the shock it walks through, it illuminates Ein.

Ein, who never walks of his will, advances straight on his feet and heads to the front of Silverado. Sometimes in front of the king, Chris and Dill, they are holding back against the side.

Su...... ha. The sound of Ain's deep breath. I never dreamed I'd do that in front of my grandfather. But as much as I need it, the signs of Silverado now are hard on Ein.

"Grandpa. I'm home now."

I thought of something to say... but I couldn't think of one. Sometimes, a light mouth floats from the glass. That glass today, too, apparently had cracks in it.

"... hmm? Oh, Ein. You're early today."

Oh, that? Ain't gonna be a pocan in my head. The look on Silvered's face, as he always talked to Ain, did not change one thing at all.

"Yes. I have some exam results today, so I thought I'd be back soon."

"How'd it go?

"Thanks to you. He was the chief."

"Heh, heh... that's Ain. Well done."

I was invited, so I'll follow it and stop by Silvard's side. Then I was confused that I had been gently stroking my head. Usually, it's enough to light up a little. But today, the difference from earlier is too great to sort out my feelings.

"Thank you, Grandpa...... And, by the way, how did you end up looking at it?

A few seconds after that. Ein will regret it badly. As it were, it was the best solution to end it.

"Uhm. The rest, for the first time in my life... I almost ordered a war of pre-emptive attack"

"... Ha!?

Ain't the only one surprised. The four who had refrained also looked equally astonished.

"Anger. Lost. And self-loathing. It's a lot of trouble."

"Oh, Grandpa!? Preemptive attack, yes...... no! War, where is it!?

"Let's make up our mind. It's Heim."

Silvard's saying, 'It's Heim'. It shocks Ein as if he had been slapped with a big hammer.

"What happened suddenly! Oh, such a country...... doesn't it matter anymore!

For Ain, that's almost real. The feeling that it no longer matters is really in Ein's mind. So why Heim now? The thought occupies Ein's heart.

"Exactly. I didn't really care until I got this this this morning."

Then I took it out of my pocket, a single letter. Around sealed with gold, it is well known that it was prepared by a man of high rank.

"To, Your Majesty? When will you receive the letter...?

A letter that Warren has no idea. When did he receive it, he wondered. Anyway, all the parent documents that are handed to Silver go through Warren.

"It's in a report from Euro."

With that said, Silvard handed the letter to Ain. Ein immediately checks its contents. Sarah, start looking through like flow work.

……

"A, Master Ain? What in there."

I can't help but wonder, Warren. Here, there was no usual calm figure of him.

"... ha. I see your grandfather gets angry."

"I don't mean stupidity. But I know we're responsible too. Anyway, we don't strike a" never "pre-emptive strike, even though they think it's sweet."

The words of the First Unified King. That is still well protected today. So because of that, even during the disturbances in Olivia, Ishtarika was in a tough position, not exercising force, etc.

"Gradually. With each passing year, there has been an increase in the opinion that 'some use of force should not be made'. I know how you feel about the rest of it, because when Olivia was there, her intestines were boiling back."

"... I guess. Grandpa."

If Ishtarika sends a fleet and carries many troops on it, there will probably not be a single Heim. But I have told you many times that I will not do it because I have the word of the First Unified King. As a royal to draw his blood, I'm not going to break it.

That said, it is also normal for the current state of frustration to accumulate, violent thinking to emerge.

"Mr. Warren."

"Oh, yeah... what is it, Dear Ein"

"It's a good story about bugs. It's a funny joke, like wondering if it's got a head on it.... I just want information on Mr. Graff and the others, as a formal deal, because I'm tired of the results. That sort of thing."

Warren isn't the only one who can't block an open mouth. The same was true of Lloyd and Chris and, of course, Dill.

"And I'm sorry... I'm relieved. Aren't the bugs too good? Even if they say we can make a deal, we can trust this one..."

"That's why, Warren. That's also an autographed letter from the Heim royal family. He'll guess the rest of his anger."

"That's already painful.... By the way, in what I've looked into, the Third Prince is indeed the leading candidate for the next King Heim. Either the first prince or the second prince have no such qualities. … The Third Prince is still after Lord Krone."

The first prince is just a fat pig. A man who loves women and gastronomy, not for the king. And the second prince, to the point of impoverishment. I don't care what you make me do, I'll do it without you, but it's nothing more. And I heard he was weak and loved a quiet space.

In that regard, Third Prince Tiggle is smart. And among the brothers is full of majesty, actionism. Not even the erasure method, but the next King Heim is supposedly going to be Tiggle.

"Lord Warren. I mean, does that mean you haven't given up on Lord Krone yet?

"You're right. Totally... persistent."

Lloyd opening his mouth for the first time. As he says, Tiggle's evil of giving up glows.

"You're probably threatening Euro. So I must have snuck the letter somehow."

"I guess Grandpa's right..."

"... I don't really like to put value on people. But Krone, Heim... and that third prince has nothing to do with it. I bet you are."

Everyone in the room nods honestly. Nevertheless, no matter what happens, I don't want to be motivated to give Krone and Graf to Heim.

And who in all this is most unhappy, it was actually Ain. He hasn't ostensibly dew his anger, but he's inner equivalent to Silverado or more frustrating than that.

"... for one thing, will you settle for once?

The air between the eyes stops in Ain's words. Everyone stops moving and looks at Ain at the same time. Seeing Ain's face full of determination, Silvard urges him to continue.

"Honestly, I'm sick of it, too. Krone is mine. He's my assistant. What bothers me is getting a little bit out of Heim, and I want to end it.... I don't feel good."

I tried to say "my aide," and I said "my krone." I'm glad she's not here, Ain't just thankful for that.

Exclusive greed if you say so. It's only natural that you prefer her. And I'm gonna give Krone to someone else. Oh, my God, if that happens, I was gonna let Durahan run wild. But I was gonna stop him.

"Mine... Ku, ku... you heard me, all of you! Ha, ha, ha!

"Oh, Grandpa! My aide! Because you mean my aide!?

Silvard laughs and everyone starts laughing together. The atmosphere on the spot was soothed due to the change from the earlier strike. From Ain's determined face, his desire for exclusivity popped up, which is hilarious and helpless.

A slightly finished laughing silverado gives a slightly more serious look and opens his mouth.

"But it's not bad. I'm still in favor of a settlement once."

"Um... by force, isn't it? We royals can't break His Majesty's words."

Just in case, Ain't to be misunderstood. Follow in.

"I know. I have no intention of following the words of His Majesty the First. And there's a few things about that settlement... Warren! Tell me what works best!

"That's two. If it's a martial arts, it's still a duel. Well, let's not risk our lives.... the other is a beating in argument. Personally, I was wondering if the latter could be more effectively referred to as…" gaffoon ""

Warren happy to come up with a plan. From his mouth, everyone laughs at the fact that the word Gaffoon came out.

"That's good. If there is a duel, let me wave the sword. They're probably Lord Logus. Ha ha!

"That's a good prestige, Lloyd. Tell me what the odds are."

Mindful of Silvard's words, Lloyd corrects his spine and speaks of it in a hectic voice.

"Ha!... let's finish it off with a blow and show it"

Ghirari and Shining Lloyd's eyes had strong eyes that only made him feel powerful. And the words, too, are never overconfident. He's really going to take down Logus in one blow if he gets a chance.

"That mind or okay. The Lord would be able to, I believe."

"Ha!"

"His son was defeated by your Lord's son. If the fathers turn out the same for each other, from the rest of us, nothing would be more pleasant. Wouldn't you? … I want to show the rest of my grandchildren such a delightful sight."

Turn a gentle grin to Ain, but the content is never gentle. But for Silvard, that's funny, but it doesn't make a difference.

"It's Dill. If I ever fight Lord Logus, I'll show you the strongest sign of Ishtarika."

"Pu...... ku. Oh, yeah, I get it, Father. Show me more than I have done."

Lloyd, who is separating public and private, treated him as a parent and son in front of the king. That's an inappropriate way to talk on this occasion, but that was appropriate for the atmosphere today. Dill also smiles at the appearance of such a father.

"Mm-hmm. You're a reliable parent and child.... then it's Ain. Accept the Lord's proposal and let Heim know where you stand once and for all."

"I didn't have a plan or anything... I didn't know you would really"

"That'll take some time to adjust, though. You have to decide where you want to be."

It's Warren who speaks like that. From the mouthfeel, Warren seems to be on board, too.

"Then, let's declare it on this occasion"

Then Silverado caught everyone's attention.

"On the spot, the rest will be there."

Of course everyone stopped, but Silverado, who has no ears to listen to. He understood his duty as king well, but he no longer had the limits of patience.

Ain't expecting it to take years until it's probably run. But encounters between countries with Heim always make something move. That's what I felt.

"(The adventurer town of Bart, the former demon kingdom, the port town of Magna...... even though it's full of things to look into. Another big thing has been decided......)"

If you say party, Ein is a party too. Anyway, Krone has something to do with it.

—— Over the next few years, the day will not come when I can take my time. I was so sure Ain.
