Muyoku no Seijo wa Okane ni Tokimeku

2. Leo, Thank You (Medium)

Leo makes a startling scream at the unexpected, but no, no, it's this one who wants to scream.

"Why not!? Why are you teasing me like this? You, even used massive magic!?

'There's no way! If I could do that, I'd be replacing it myself!

Then why? I can't believe this is all you've got left to work out, unless you're forced to suck the magic out of me, that's an impossible level!?

Leo stopped moving perfectly, Lena said.

"... getting sucked off?

In his young beauty, the color of agitation like "Oh, no way" floats, and his gaze starts swimming.

Lena caught the purple eyes blurring her own chest for a moment.

Bruno, who was watching it as well, opened his eyes softly,

"Leo, try to jump a little on the spot"

Say that.

"Huh...? Huh? Oh, no, Bruno. Towards childhood, it's a bit like saying such a cuttle-ass thing - '

"Here, jump."

'Wow, wow, wow!

As Leo tried to escape, Bruno grabbed that torso and swayed it as it stumbled.

The light body is easily lifted and shaken up and down.

And at the same time...

Charlene, Charlie Charlene.

With such a cheerful sound, the little copper coin, the copper coin, the bracelet imitating the gold coin - and the glittering pieces of metal fell on the floor one after another.

"Wow! Whoa! Whoa, whoa! My, my collection...!

"... where are you hiding all that gold stuff?"

Lena stared at the coin jewellery that was scattered all over her and narrowed her eyes.

At the end of his gaze was a peculiarly shaped piece of gold at his fingertips.

'... what is this?

It's not currency.

To see the snoring, it's not even an ornament.

However, its golden glow had much more breathtaking beauty and disastrous, even Lena, who was not yet financially greedy.

"Leo?"

"... yes, the... gold, fragments, is it?"

If Lena asks in a quiet voice, Leo answers with a prawn.

When Bruno and I sent a cold glance at each other, the poor looking money-keeper added, in a small voice.

'... uh. of the gold bracelet, fragments, is…'

"... Leo?

'... that,... is a fragment of the magic sealed bracelet that the prince was fitting...!

Leo, exposed to the faceless combo again, finally became half crying and whispered (gelo).

Lena felt, somewhere in her body, something make a little noise and cut.

It could be a token of the indulgence, it could be a blood vessel in the brain.

"... Konko, the big idiot moneykeeper. Ooh!

'I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! No,' cause I didn't think just fragments would absorb magic! He was about to sue me for picking up the pieces. Oh!

According to Leo, who is grounded, I borrowed one of the splashed fragments from the prince when he blew his bracelet at the tea party the other day.

Leo says he's been doing too much of this every day to deal with the tremendous stress of the prince's resignation, engagement, and life crisis.

It couldn't have built up magic or anything.

"If you keep taking away a lot of magic, some people will fall and die!? Didn't you notice?

'No... I thought it was weird lately, but I thought it was totally because of the stress...'

Lena counts primes in her heart and manages to contain the urge to scream.

He exhaled loudly and cut out in a low voice.

"- to. No more magic, no more replacement."

"Ugh......"

Leo drapes his neck pitifully.

But the next time he looked up, he said something unexpected, with a flattering look on his face.

'... well, maybe that would have been nice...'

"What?"

Unexpectedly, Lena listens back.

Then the opponent scratched his pompous cheeks with a look that rounded out the goodness of people.

'Cause if you go back to your body like this, you could be executed, right? In the name of guarding, it feels like the prince no longer chooses the means to use his military men to monitor me. "

'Is...?

"After all, at least not after we get rid of the area. Uh, I can't get my body back..."

Seeing Leo fall shoulder to shoulder, Lena finally thought we were having a different conversation.

As for this one, I didn't know Leo was concerned about the "less alert level of hatred jumping, more difficult to survive" thing, even though he was angry about the "less protective level of drowning, more difficult to replace or escape" thing.

In Leo's words, the protection got thicker because of it, that is, to keep an eye on yourself.

Since the Spirit Festival, the prince has been somewhat motivated by his willingness to kill (Ya) before the target of the murder (Leo).

Otherwise, words and actions that are nothing but courtship have been replaced by the perception of interrogation and intimidation, and they seem to be frightened of the prince.

(Ko...... so it was still that interpretation over this period......!?

Lena felt creased and dizzy.

Well, in reply to the letter, I may be sorry myself for not politely explaining the prince's love affair, but I can't believe I've been continuing to believe that theory.

But Leo is only serious, like, 'Yeah... right... I knew I had to wipe my own ass' or something, and he's hardening his fist to grievous readiness.

Seeing it, Lena was very confused and confused - and at the same time felt the back of her chest, just a little twitched.

(... stupid leo)

In my heart, I try to tuck them in.

She finally understood how she could have been reunited because of it, but she just apologized and never pressed me from him to "get my body back to normal soon".

He's trying to cover Lena from the unlikely death penalty crisis.

Believe me that's your responsibility.

I feel like I need to at least avoid a life-threatening crisis and ask for replacement to be eliminated, so be it.

(You're an idiot, and... I'm a coward)

At the same time, Lena scolded herself.

Why I could also correct a misunderstanding in an earlier letter but didn't end up doing so.

That's because I feared that things would get worse by dissolving mistakes poorly, but - if I kept misleading them, I thought so somewhere in my mind that I could stay a little more replaced with that pretext.

Now, for the same reason, I'm still reluctant to explain to this money-keeper about the prince's love affair.

Though I know we should just move towards resolving things.

Lena now realizes she has herself relieved by this situation for a different reason than Leo.

(Because if out of magic is the reason, I can't help but poke at the fact that I'm a coward -)

Either way, get your body back. I keep my promises.

But just a little more.

Prepare to escape after replacement and until your mind is ready.

Such hindsight softened Lena's voice.

'... well, fine. Now, think about what you can do.'

'What can you do?

Leo wakes up all the time.

Um, I couldn't even look at the unsuspecting face on this one, and Lena turned a subtle blind eye.

It shouldn't have been anything before, such as fooling a stupid boy, why not?

Now, that feels like a terrible bone breaking task.

Lena cut out under the guise of the usual calm as much as possible.

'- For example, yes. You know, gathering magic like the cuss that's left in your body to develop magic for the future.'

"Will you unseal the rumbling seal!?

'... it's the mountains I want to do that, but I don't have enough magic to do that'

Yes. Sorcery is just often deployed in a language, and a rumbling sealed sorcery that constrains that language is quite advanced magic.

Only to find out that each of the troubles probably occurred because of this one word, Lena was also puzzled about this.

"The only thing I can do in my current state... well, maybe increase the effectiveness of the magic I've already deployed"

"Already deployed sorcery?

"Yes," Leo nodded, taking Leo's arm, who tilted his neck wonderfully.

"Emerge, the crystal of surveillance. Split it in two."

Speaking quickly in Weitz, the fluttering light danced and a familiar crystal appeared in Leo's palm.

It twirls and rotates, and at the next moment, it splits into two balls, one small round.

Lena took one of them and returned the other to Leo.

"Here."

Hand it to me, but the other guy's just doing it right.

"Huh? Why would you have Lena, too? Like watching the Crown Prince for the both of us?

'Use your head for a little while. If we play each other "what they are now," we'll be able to have a conversation even if we're far away.

'... oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!?

Shown the unexpected use of the crystal of surveillance, Leo slapped his knee.

"I see! Awesome! Hmm? The concept of a portable conversation group is a fine business - '

"Throw away evil now."

Immediately try to spin your thoughts around the moneymaker with the speed of light.

You're a fiancée candidate for the prince of this country. Even if we meet like this today, we'll be harder and harder to meet in the future. Exchange of letters can be difficult. It's a crystal for that. I broke it into two pieces with scarce magic, so it might break if I used it frequently. But don't use it in chatter. '

'Okay! I'm good at using it. Leave it to me. "

'... when you need it, definitely use it, right?

What the hell is wrong with being so worried that they are full of confidence?

Driven by vague anxiety, Lena missed the crystal for herself.

'Anyway, is this how much more we can do now than we've secured a means of communication? And then let me ask you a few more questions about the situation surrounding you...'

- I'm sorry.

and there, Bruno has gently raised one hand.

"Can I take a seat off for a little while if I seem to have dropped everything and Lena's anger?"

'Huh?'

Leo and Lena look back at the same time. It was a little strange that he wanted to leave the scene himself, entrusting himself with Leo's best friend.

"You're not hanging around, Bruno. Oh, could it be work?

Children in orphanages perform daily in-house jobs and part-time jobs to earn their own food support.

When Leo asked, but Bruno shook his head quietly.

'No. It's for the wild. But I can't take it off. "

"Phew...?

When told with black eyes that don't let them peek at emotions, they also hesitate to pry.

When Leo nodded vaguely, the opponent continued to make even more surprising remarks.

'Then I say, vacate the orphanage about a week from next week. If you want to do something, you can do it later.'

'Huh? You're going anywhere for a week. A dealer?'

"... I'm going to Eland"

Bruno doesn't always lie, and usually he doesn't hesitate, answering pale.

But at this point, Lena was surprised that there was only a few moments before she responded.

"To Eland? What do you mean, stretching your legs out to the country you've fled? Now you have a family you want to see?

"Well, Lena, now you can't help but worry about me."

'Nah... Huh! I can't believe you don't care!

Then they mix it back up, as usual, and they respond like that with spinal reflexes.

Next to Lena, who lost the thread of the question, Leo said,

"Er! Errand!? The impending eland of the contract festival!? Tourists push from all over the continent, the light falling moon eland!? Smells like gold. But hey! I want to go too! Take me!

And so on and so forth, he called out his nose absurdly.

The land Eland, the beginning of the Spirit, still holds up its religious autonomy, governed by Weitz, and the "Covenant Festival", where the Spirits renew their blessings on the continent, comes not only to tourists, but also to the neighboring royal nobility.

There is gold at people's gatherings.

And where there's money, there's Leo.

Leo had begun to think early, what kind of business he could do, etc., but Bruno also said, 'No. All you had to do was get rid of yourself first, before you made money.

"Yes! Keep it cold, Bruno! After all, it would be advantageous to have a land survey. Until now, you never wanted to go back to Eland, so I was wondering if this story was taboo, but if it wasn't, I'd love to... '

"Not that I want to go home"

Leo ate down, but that's blocked again.

To that low voice, for a moment, silence fell around him.

Just a little strained air.

Unscrupulous tranquility.

Because they're the only ones who always talk temporarily, Lena doesn't know how to behave at a time like this.

Bruno, when I somehow tried to call him, sooner than that,

'... well. Around, Lai Nai'

Leo smiled with his usual flamboyant, energetic weather.

As soon as possible, the air in the field looses.

He started snatching at Bruno, as if nothing had happened.

'Then I ordered a souvenir instead! Oh, but I don't trust your taste at all. I'll send you a list by next week, like a hundred lines!

'Such a list, who is there? Trust my selection. "

'No, you don't believe me, do you? If I asked for a stuffed animal for Anne, no one would believe your selection of bear bodies?

"It was a mundane."

'It stinked! But it was delicious. "

They're perfectly as usual, having such conversations.

The two then continued their offense about souvenirs for a while, but eventually folded around "Send a list of twenty-five lines and buy what's right", Bruno left the room.

All that remained was Lena and Leo.

"I'm a little surprised."

Lena squeaks as Bruno stares at the turning magic cloth as it sways loosely into its original position.

Leo said, "Huh?," he added, as he had tilted his neck.

"You. I was wondering if you'd eat more when it comes to making money. Talk, I would have distracted you '

"Hmm."

No, I really want a souvenir, and I scratch my cheek, and Leo answers.

'Cause well... who, one or two things you don't want me to touch, Grandpa?

'... Bruno, why have you been running away from Eland? Though to escape the scourge of war... in the capital of an enemy nation or something'

"You know."

The answer was extremely light.

And that, nothing deceptive or anything, seemed purely unaware of the circumstances.

Bruno, no matter what the memorabilia is, we're not gonna talk about it. I didn't want to hear it either. "

'That's surprising, too. I thought you guys were creepy and friendly.'

"No, we're good friends, right? But nothing, you don't have to know the past. '

I lose my word for a moment to the answer that was given back.

Leo added '... and come on' before Lena came up with what to go on.

"He was so black today, wasn't he?

'... what?

It would also be impossible for Lena to have lurked her eyebrows.

Because black eyes, brown skin, are Bruno's standard equipment.

"What's that? Is he the owner of an ecology that changes the color of his eyes depending on the day?

It's normal, isn't it? Marcel gets a little blue in his grey eyes when he gets excited, and Emilio gets darker green, huh?

'... it may be so'

Leo shrugged his shoulder a little as Lena answered small to avoid the remorse she hadn't noticed until she pointed it out.

'In Bruno's case, I don't know how to say this... but the black color gets stronger. Like glowing, in strong colors. I wonder when you first noticed. Did he come to the orphanage right away? Bruno had more gray eyes when he was little. That's when he said it was black and it was racial. So, when it's important, it's even more black. So...'

"So?"

Encouraging her to continue, Leo laughed a little troubled.

"Only then, I'm going to be gone... something, awesome. I'm going to come home blurry"

The word "mellow" is not linked to the man named Bruno.

I asked him what it meant, and he said he was injured in a fight, or something like that.

They're just so tired that they're going to fall down now, they're going to stay asleep.

'Bruno in that case is letting go because he doesn't really seem to want you to touch him, and he doesn't seem to be dyeing his hands in crime. Besides, I'm not his guardian. So, maybe this time, I think it's (...)'

So let it go, Leo says.

As always, I'm not sure if these two hangouts are good or dry.

Leo turned to me, "But," Leo said as Lena was holding her mouth, feeling somewhat left behind.

'But what a long week this is the first time. I'm really worried about the destination of Elando. - That's why, Lena.

Rarely, with a serious look in his eyes, Leo told him.

"I was wondering if you'd mind a little about him."

Why me? The word disappeared without sound, although it came up to my throat.

Because Leo's voice had weight, to the extent that it seemed so, that this was not an occasion to be mean.

"... me."

After much thought, Lena ended up saying another word.

"If I don't care, you care, right?

"Yes, sir."

'Then I have no choice. I want you to focus only on the replacement problem, so I can, no, no, I'll probably, I'll take care of it.'

When I turned around and answered, there was a while between them.

"Lena......"

"What? Are you complaining?

"No. You, - you're cute."

Lena complains.

I was a moment late and I said, "Huh!? I tried to raise my voice," but even then, "Ha, ha!?". Die of shame.

As I accidentally dyed red to the edge of my ear, Leo seemed to think it was due to being praised, watching this one nimbly.

"Ya. Sometimes I thought about you, the nasty one on the high fly anyway, but don't change your impression when you understand Lena. Yeah. He's cute. '

Cute, cute.

Repeated in the same tone as I would tell my sister or her pet, Lena let her hiccups pull the edge of her mouth.

"-... Leo"

'Hmm?'

"Blow it up."

"Ha!?

Towards the slightly insensitive money-keeper, Lena threw up.

'Shut up. I'm in a bad mood now. I'm done for the day. You do nothing, anyway. That's it. Just get out.'

"Ha!? Huh!? Well, why, you know!? Because of this, future measures - '

"Continue with crystals! Already, get the fuck out of here. Yeah!

Then he pushes his back around and kicks him out of the room.

Admitting that Kai, who apparently stood outside the door, was black-and-white with his eyes without knowing the conversation until then, Lena stretched out a grin and explained shamelessly.

"Hey squire, hard work working. Now that the discussion is over, I was wondering if you could just, uh, politely bring her back."

"Oh... oh..."

"Wash your hands? Next to the front door. Take your time."

Perhaps she tried to say, "Hey, hey, hey," ignoring Leo, Lena smiled and turned herself over to Kai.

"As dusk approaches, security around here gets worse at an accelerating rate. It's a waste of remnants, but you can't hold her back too long and put her in danger. Be careful and go home."

Security, danger, care, are magical words that inspire squire like this watchdog.

When Kai abandoned his previous confusion, he burned his eyes to a sense of purpose: "I need to bring my husband home safely".

"Hey, um... Kai! Don't be fooled! It's safe! Absolutely, it's safe! A little more, let's stay! Right!?"

"I know how you feel, Master Leonora. We must not take a sweet look at insecurity around here. It's still high in the day, but I've never crossed it early. Come on, it's time to go back to college."

"Yep, yep!?

Leo's credibility in terms of safety is close to zero if he goes down to town and gets tangled up by a freelance man who gets laid and drowned in a lake if he goes to the woods.

"Lady Leonora, I beg your pardon"

When Kai lifted himself up with a fortitude derived from loyalty - for this reason, he had been training for the past few months and gaining some strength - the poor money-keeper was lightly taken to the carriage.

"Wow. It's a princess hug. Dear Leonora, Wow (...)"

Just before the carriage door closed, Lena told me with a bar reading.

"Why......"

Probably, "Why not? Whoa, whoa!" You wanted to scream, "the voice reached my ear, halfway through.
