The knock on the door will gradually become louder.

"What's wrong, I can't move?"

Ma-chan is in a hurry, but my body doesn't move like a stone.I can't even speak up.

The fear that Mao-chan stared at just now is still all over your body.Your instincts seem to be afraid of Ma-chan.

And the knock stopped.

"Are you Vargis?

It was like an old man's voice.

"Oh, I hear this voice.You're Deggle. "

Anyway...

"Come on in."

The old man called Deggle opens the door and enters my room on his own.

"Ah... ahh..."

My body is still stiff and immobile.Deggle looks at it and puts his hand on my shoulder.

Is it holy magic?White light envelops my body and makes it fluffy and light.Your body is also relaxing, and I'm lying flat on the ground.

"Ah..."

"You were staring at Vargis and you were in a state of panic.I've just started to heal. "

Deggle has gray hair and is wrapped in white and slender clothing.Talk to me with a nice face.

"Ha... Yes, thank you."

I got up.

"From what I've seen, it looks like Valgis hasn't had any brainwashing magic yet.Don't do it too soon, Valgis. "

"I'm sorry."

"Alisa, forgive him.Vargis leaves it to emotion, sometimes unconsciously panicking the opponent.That's all I wanted to protect you from this time. "

"Yes, yes, I'm fine."

Speaking of which, I've never seen Mao-chan apologize to anyone.

"... Valgis seems more honest than he was ten years ago."

Deggle also uses polite words for Mao-chan, but somehow looks more dignified than Mao-chan.So, what's the relationship between Mao-chan and Deggle?

Mao-chan gets up from bed and sits next to me.

"... I was very rude ten years ago.You were right about everything.I would like you to tell my concubine.Have a seat. "

Soon my bed was in the upper seat.I don't have any other chairs that look like chairs, so I might have to.

But Deggle won't move on the spot.

"No, I'm a civilian in this world, after all.The body is covered with a valve.Valgis, sit down over there. "

"No, my concubine won't."

Each other gives up their seats.

"Hey, Mr. Deggle?

Hmm.

Deggle looks kind.

This tone of face and voice doesn't make you feel like you've met somewhere.A long time ago, that kind of stuffy memory came to mind, like I talked about it somewhere.

You must listen to this man.This strange feeling comes from the depths of your heart.

"Have you seen him anywhere?

"... I still seem to have a slight memory.I can erase it, but I'm not messing with my head. "

That said, Deggle walks around on the spot.

"... I think Valgis told me earlier, but I don't want you to go to Quatch III."

"Yes?

I feel like I don't know what the sudden old man is saying.

But somehow, somewhere in my heart, someone is shouting that I have to obey this old man's words.It's a strange feeling.

The truth is, I want to get this old man out of this room right now, but for some reason, on the contrary, I want to hear the story.Who is this old man really?

"But as a nobleman, I have to go to the king."

"What happens if I don't go?

"I can't do that.We, the nobles, swear allegiance to the king. "

"But what happens if you don't follow?

"It seems that the King has been imposing severe penalties recently.If you do not obey the King's orders, you will face the death penalty. "

"What if you run away?

My family will be executed.

"What do you think about getting killed for that?

"I don't think so.The king is great, so don't disobey him. "

I said it with my face.Deggle sighs when he hears it.

"Though you're not brainwashed, you're totally up.I would not be surprised if I were sentenced to death for minor crimes.You're well educated.It's not impossible for Vargis to get angry. "

"But my concubine did what she had to do."

"Enough."

Deggle and Ma-chan face each other.

What is this air?I feel uncomfortable with the two stories.

Deggle asks me.

"Did you take a bath?

Yes, I just got in.

"How about dinner?

That's it, too.

"Tomorrow is early?

"Yes, I have to go to King's Landing."

"I'm sorry, but give me some time."

Then Deggle glances at the corner of the empty room.

"That's where the radicals are."

A part of the corner of the room that should have been empty will turn green.It was a chameleon of radicals.There was, wasn't there?

"Come here.Is that chameleon being manipulated by the radicals?I want you to listen to me now. "

The chameleon runs toward us.Then I'll ride on Mao-chan's shoulder.

Deggle takes a deep breath and then looks at me.

"... in conclusion, Alisa, you should not go to Quatch III.I want to explain why slowly. "

The old man looked rather serious.I have a feeling it's going to be a long story.

After carefully checking our expressions, Deggle started talking a long time ago.
