Magic Gems Gourmet
Cherry blossom gems.
And a few days later. Finally, the day of the festival arrived.
The name struck was "End of War Festival". It has been a simple word for a long time, but its contents are the end of a cause that lasted for hundreds of years. From those involved, it particularly shakes emotions.
This festival, held simultaneously in all the cities of Ishtal, the continent, will eventually be a major festival over a period of ten days.
"- Your Majesty. This may be the first time in the history of Ishtarika"
"As Lord Warren said, the castle also has a hint of exuberance."
"… so much so that this festival makes sense"
The three overlooked the castle town from the terrace of the castle and enjoyed its buzz.
Later, they also plan to roll out to town naturally, but now enjoy the view from here.
"You. You were having fun here."
"Oh, it's Laralua! Come here, too."
Then, a suddenly coming Laralua speaks up, and Silvado summons him nearby.
"I want to, Ein, don't I know you?
"... Ein? I was walking down the hall in the morning feeling restless."
Actually, Ain't seen you.
"Hmm... did you ask Krone or Olivia?
"I asked Olivia. But I don't know... I just laugh fun"
Obviously, I know, but that's what I answered. She won't break her mouth for sure.
Silvard held his head when he said it was the first day of the festival and what the hell he was doing.
If so, what happened to Lord Krone?
"It is, Lloyd. If you want to go ask Mr. Krone..."
"I thought, how'd it go?
"... there's no Mr. Krone either. When I asked the civilians, they were blind at some point..."
Then the three of them open their mouths to Pocan and understand.
"Your Majesty. Perhaps Lord Krone, with Ein..."
"... um. The rest, I agree with Warren. Besides, if you think of Olivia's face that seems to know what's going on, that's the only way."
"I agree...... and Lady Laralua. How's Chris doing?
"I was in a wheelchair with Olivia. I'll put up with you today......"
I'm sure of this already. Ain and Krone are going somewhere together.
They were convinced of it. … Then Warren noticed what had happened at the harbor.
"- Your Majesty. We have found Lord Ein and Lord Krone."
"Duh, where are you... Huh!? Hurry up and ask what happened..."
"That sounds a little difficult. Anyway, Master Ain and Lord Krone..."
Warren pointed in the direction of the port.
I don't know the details in such a distance...... Silvard tried to complain, but I can tell from here there are two of them.
"... that's El and Al, right. Sire."
I can no longer hit my hand. Lloyd snaps with a blurry voice.
"Lord Lloyd is right.... and I was wondering if it was the Augusto Chamber of Commerce ship the twins were pulling. By the way, I assume you're renting without permission in my prediction."
This is what I can't tell you because I'm scared.
Where will the two of you let the twins pull the boat? That's hard to predict, but I know the two of you are trying to leave King's Capital.
Then, when Silvard stood up and approached the terrace fence,
"This... you runaway king prince. Ahhhhhhhh!
Shout out loud for the sea plains. With a rare attitude for Silverado, all of them, including Laralua, laughed.
"Ha... ha... Damn, that king prince! My parents' faces... but I always watch them! Not at all!"
"Oh? Sorry, looks like someone's here."
In anticipation of Ain's sailing ship, Martha comes to this occasion.
"Excuse me. I have received a letter from Ein."
When passed inside by Laralua, she hurries to the side of Silverado.
And I handed him one letter. Silvard makes a noise and breaks and throws away the envelope, he turns to a single letter housed inside.
"... 'I will use the Red Fox Crusade prize and receive a holiday today'... so...?
"Hmm. Looks like Mr. Ain was hitting his hand first. Martha, why didn't you bring this letter before?
"- It was stopped by royal decree. I want you to give me a letter after you leave the sea..."
It seems that Ain today was so prepared that he couldn't reprimand Sylvado for this flow.
Seeking a holiday for just one day compared to the rewards of the Red Fox Crusade is rather enough to require a lot of change.
Besides, even if I tried to reprimand Martha, if she said she was using a royal decree, I would no longer be able to say anything.
Silvard was the last to look at the ship Ain boarded with a powerless expression.
◇ ◇ ◇
Then after a while, things changed and King Heim Capital.
"- A, Dear Ein!?
"Good luck with your vigilance. I'm gonna go back a little bit."
"Ha... ha!
Ein arrived in the capital of King Heim, which is watched by the Ishtarika knights.
If you work a knight lightly, you step inside with your feet intact.
Horses borrowed at the port town Round Heart. Krone and I rode this far.
"Hey, hey. Ein? Suddenly I brought you all the way here... what's wrong?
"I have a lot of things, too."
"... maybe, but even though it's the first day of the festival, it pisses me off that Prince Wang isn't here, right?
"That's okay, because you used the Red Fox Crusade reward or something to get me and Krone off the day"
"Also... you used it in a waste of time"
If it's such a big compliment, Silver should listen to your approximate wishes.
Using it purposefully to reward just one day only seems puzzling if you try from Krone.
"That's okay. Instead, if you're going to use it for this, it's what you want."
"... well, yes"
Unsatisfactory reply, Ain't pulling Krone somewhere powerful today.
Having no heart or body was powerful, and Krone could not speak any further of the objections.
"- You know, I wanted to take a walk on this boulevard with Ain. After the unveiling party, I wanted to go to Harbor Town and play with you and sometimes go shopping with you in King's Capital."
"... so am I."
"But, you know, I can't... I figured it out that night. I heard that Olivia had offered to stay away and called the ship back to Ishtalika, and I thought I'd never see her again in Heim."
"I was sorry then, too - but"
"Yep. But then we could meet again in Ishtarika, and Ein would have been a nicer person."
The words also illuminate Ain, reassuring me that I can't see my face from Krone.
"We're here. Krone."
"Here... it was my house, right?
If you look up, the world tree will still look blue green.
I guess it will all wither away, but now I've let the land still be vast in nature.
"Yeah. I wanted to come here."
"... already. I didn't just spend the other day here with you. What kind of wind blow?
"Ha... that's a lot of stuff"
Ain gets off the horse first, he plugs his hand into Krone's side and lowers her.
"You used to be a shorter Ain, but now they treat you like this"
"No?"
"Yeah. I think I'm gonna be happy to hug you."
"Then let me escort you first"
Ain't arms offered. When Krone snuggles up to hold him, he approaches the distance to such an extent that it is not difficult to walk.
"Hehe. I can't believe the prince escorted me like this. I feel like a princess in a story."
◇ ◇ ◇
"Still, you're dressed so well today"
Krone walks gently in front of me.
From a few steps away, he opened his mouth in a good mood.
"... uh. Too flashy?"
"No. I like Ein like that, too, don't I?
"Ha... I wish I had"
Ishtarika's... dressed as Prince Wang, I carry Mr. Marco's sword on my hips and pass a belt made of sea dragon material.
My hair was better than usual, and I brought Krone here.
"Krone. Remember some years ago, when we dated in the harbor?
"Yep. You remember everything about Ain? Uh, that's... what's up?
"... then I'm glad"
The beating sounds are going to reach my ears. I get so nervous, I sweat on my forehead.
Wiping it with a handkerchief removed from his nose, he opened his mouth to hide the tension.
"At the time, I didn't know what it meant to give it to you."
Krone in front walks poor and light like a fairy.
I followed Krone slowly.
"I think even the day I uncovered my anxiety in the harbor, I only vaguely thought about what it meant to give it away"
But not now. To convey the feelings I have in my heart.
"Ein......?
The change in my voice color makes Krone stop.
"You know."
... she looks back softly to my call.
Her scent on the wind further heightened my nervousness.
But even that nervousness... makes me feel comfortable now for some reason.
"What's wrong? Ein?"
Looking back, Krone tilts her neck and looks at me.
Then I take one box out of my nostalgia.
I asked Mr. Shearling to make it, it's a bespoke jewelry box.
"Krone"
- That moment.
The birds that were on the ground flew in unison.
It rises high and high as if to bless both of us.
Light from heaven inserting from the gaps in the branches. Like a glimmer of light going down the stage, it lit us both up.
... I've already made up my mind. I don't need to be prepared any more. And I won't get lost anymore.
So... so, Krone.
"With me..."
When I kneel one knee in front of her, I give it to her and convey my thoughts.
... and she gets it with the best smile she's ever had.
- Beautiful as she is.
There's only one in the world... a cherry star crystal, housed in a jewelry box.
