In the dormitory room given to the already familiar civilian, Seiichiro was confronted with a strange face on the spot.
The day after that dinner party, as usual... no, Seiichiro, who came to work earlier than usual, was busy.
Because of the sudden business trip (expedition), we need to clear up as much of the work that we were going to do in the meantime, make instructions and manuals so that other staff can take over, and prepare a budget proposal for the expedition and the subsequent review of expenses.
The expedition leaves in three days. The schedule is six days round trip.
More than half of the roads are completed by horses and carriages, and the horses are changed in the city at the mid-point, and again on the return route.
Seiichiro had more participants than he had heard, probably because a person who wanted to bite him screwed in or the person below him screwed in to encourage the king himself. There are civilians other than Seiichiro.
(Well, I'll use it more than I can go.)
While reviewing the roster of participants, Seiichiro was alone. Expeditions are not free.
Now, that's why Seiichiro's job is so obvious. No matter how much time there is, there is not enough.
Even on dinner day, I wanted to get home early to work, but that day ended with a sermon by Alesh. I was unable to meet with the court magician I had planned.
Even if you work on a lunch break, you are dragged to the dining room by a half-crying royal bracelet charlatan, who then can't let you go until the break is over.
And, of course, after the regular hours, the Third Knight Commander will pick you up himself.
When Aresh came to pick me up, the accounting department was also rough, and the audience was bad, so I made several suggestions to meet outside, but Seiichiro was obsessed with the work every time and was late for the appointment, so the suggestion is now laughed at with his nose every time I put it out.
For that reason, Seiichiro was forced to return to work on time, but of course, I took the work home without doing anything like that, and when I recovered at [the end of the border], I secretly drank nutrients and worked all night.
And a day before the expedition. This day was reserved for many expedition participants.
Of course, Seiichiro was fortunate enough to take more work home and try to dawn at work.
And now before his eyes, the beautiful Knight Commander looked down at Seiichiro with his cold purple eyes.
"What is this, Seiichiro?"
Alesh-Indraq pointed his skeleton finger at the desk about the Knights of the Third Cavalry who suddenly came to him.
Expanded on the desk was, of course, a work document.
Since the handover had already been completed yesterday, we were now preparing a new budget proposal and listing some items we wanted to check during the expedition.
"Permission to take out is from the administrator."
I knew what they were asking me, but I tried to distract them. I was angry.
"You! You're not tired of going on an expedition to a dangerous place with a fragile body, and you're working the day before!? What are you thinking!!
The inn has a brick exterior, but the interior is almost wooden. Of course, the walls aren't that thin.
In addition, the elite Knight Commander was famous in all respects, but he visited Seiichiro honorably from the front entrance.
Turning to the door, I noticed a familiar blonde hair in the gap.
"Are you listening, Seichiro?!
Aresh, angry with Seiichiro, who was not concentrating, tapped the desk and, following the vibration, the bottle, which had been hidden, rolled and stopped between the two.
"Ah"
Alesh's anger exploded in a familiar empty bottle.
And now, Seiichiro was being held by Alesh, who kicked his shirt in his bed.
Let's talk about it in order.
She found out she was drinking nutrients, got angry, checked up on her condition, recovered, got magic, put her skin together in bed and get used to magic.
It is a pattern that is no longer being patterned.
But in my room, in my bed, it made Seiichiro illuminate. Above all, I was not ready for a special visit without an appointment.
Still hot?
Alesh asks Seiichiro, who looks blurry.
The man sitting with his pillow on his back, holding himself in his arms, was well prepared to look at it, and even though he looked like a doll, he felt a little bit young because he was familiar with it.
Incidentally, the gallery outside the room ran away to kick the spider's child in Alesh's anger, and Alesh made sure that the wind magically kept the sound from leaking out.
"No... I'm fine now, can I go back to work?
"That's not a good idea."
That said, Alesh scratches up Seiichiro's moisturizing, sticky hair.
"But I want to be ready for the expedition."
Alesh exhaled in dismay to Seiichiro, who asked him to put him back at his desk.
"If you're going to do your best, you'll be in good health first. You need to be more aware of your weakness."
I am aware of it.
Anyway, Seiichiro dies from breathing without Alesh, and one scratch is fatal.
Seiichiro fills a man with complicated emotions with enthusiasm for work while keeping his body tight to tame magic.
"And I made a summary of the Expedition Expenses for the Second and Third Knights."
Huh?
It was the first time Alesh had talked about work and paperwork, so Seiichiro looked up with his eyes round.
"... what's with that face? I don't have it today.
I'll give it to you tomorrow, so do the job after tomorrow. "
"I came here today to retighten the [boundary] before I left.
I waited for you to tell me, but I didn't know you were working in a room... "
"Well... sorry for the inconvenience..."
If Seiichiro put it plainly, I thought it would be efficient if you gave it to me at the time, but if you think about it carefully, the opponent is the Third Knight Commander. Seiichiro is a civilian who can be accompanied by a prince for harassment. There's no way we can be together on the road.
Maybe it was a pinch even if it wasn't necessary.
Tomorrow we leave like this.
"Huh? From here?
I mean, I can't think of another job after Alesh returns... but that's important, too.
"Aren't you coming home?
"Oh, we're all set, and the Knights carry the luggage."
For a moment, the words "accompaniment to work" were grabbed from Seiichiro's head, so I tried to think differently.
"India… where does Alesh live?
Since I'm a Knights Commander, I thought it might be inside the Royal Palace or a Knights' quarters, and I was surprised to find myself in my parents' home.
"Is this your parents' home..."
Alesh must have been a Marquise. Since the identity system has been abolished from modern Japan, it is no good, but it should have been quite high.
"What about your brother, Alesh?
Asked without any concern whether it was normal for the son of an adult position to be at home, Alesh blinked unexpectedly this time.
"... two brothers. I have only one sister."
So this young, unattended Knight Commander is the youngest?... it's kind. Did you feel something with Seiichiro nodding secretly in your heart? Alesh pulled Seiichiro's ear with a dull face.
"It hurts."
That much?
"Are you all at home?
"No, my sister has already gone to her daughter-in-law and my second brother has a mansion outside."
My eldest brother will succeed my parents. When that happened, I wondered why Alesh lived in her parents' house, but she kept explaining it as if it appeared on her face.
"There's a room in the Knight's quarters, but my parents are closer to the royal palace and I don't have any trouble, so I live almost at my parents' house."
I see.
When I nodded thinking that it was not yet suitable for collective action, my opposite ear was pulled.
"It hurts."
"Hmm... what about you?
I didn't know what they meant, and I thought for a few seconds and realized I was referring to the number of brothers.
"I'm alone."
"... that's how it looks."
It was a kind of response, but it must be from the heart. I think both Seiichiro and I are alone.
When I was a kid, I envied having a brother, but I was happy because I had the love of my parents.
However, considering the current situation, I think it would have been better to have a brother.
"I'm alone..."
After being chased by work, Bon New Year was barely back, and above all, I don't think my son was so overprotective, but in a world where one son disappeared, what do my parents think and how do they spend?
I want you to feel free to come back if you can.
By the way, since I can no longer take care of my old age, I hope you will receive Seiichiro's legacy without delay.
When I thought about my parents and my hometown, which I don't usually think much about, I spinned a spell with a beautiful voice that seemed low above my head.
No matter how many times you listen, it sounds like a song.
Today is a little long.
(Looks like a lullaby...)
With his hot head, Seiichiro thinks he's blurry, and at the same time his lips are blocked.
