Muyoku no Seijo wa Okane ni Tokimeku

25. Leo, Snow Songbird Tells You (Previous)

Kai occasionally struck his head on the ceiling and screamed as a carriage driving up and down the night lane with tremendous momentum kicked heavily on the ground.

It's the sixth time.

"Are you okay?

"Ha... Ha, sorry for the noise!

"No, it's because this one's in a hurry. I'd be a little relieved if I was as good as you. - Are you okay, Senior Oscar?

Dyed his hair black and dressed like a civilian, Alberto told Kai peacefully before glancing at the next seat.

There was the figure of a merchant's son holding back his mouth while quietly.

It is far from the usual brotherly man to hang his hand on the window frame and round his back.

"Whatever it takes... fly, it'll be too much..."

He blued his stern face and leaked so weakly.

The opposing Alberto just shrugs his shoulders gently.

"Indeed, the beast path after five consecutive moves can quite hold up, can't it? But this is the fastest way to get there, and Kai has done the same thing in his carriage."

That's right.

They started moving immediately after receiving Kai's petition.

That's also a quote about five times faster than normal, trying to grab someone from the Chamber of Commerce and drive the carriage.

"Oh no... sorry, I have used a slightly flatter path, even though I am also a horse"

Kai whispered corrections into the return journey, which was so much quicker, but harder, than the outbound journey.

Alberto's actions were thorough, as declared to buy up the fastest means of travel.

Draw a number of complex moving formations with high magic consumption - he was laughing refreshingly as this would reduce magic - and choose the fastest and most reputable carriage without even looking at the price list.

And he bought up the man of the Elands for nearly five times the price of the market, and, when he was reluctant to drive on the beast road, he spoke gently every time, and offered him a subtle sum of money, and continued to slap his ass.

"I didn't know you could come back to Eland so soon...... You have spared no effort to cooperate, and this is also a gift of His Highness's human virtue."

"... idiot. This kind of thing is called intimidation over a takeover."

If you say it like innocent Kai impressed you, Oscar points it out to you.

He's never seen a man so gracefully slap his cheek with gold.

Before we left, Rolf said, "I'm just gonna get my foot together, so I'm leaving a message!" What a thin Oscar I thought I was when I told him, "but now I was sincerely flattered by the wisdom of my best friend.

Without denying either of the two statements, Alberto just smiled "because it's an emergency".

And then the carriage suddenly stopped, wondering if the horse was not fierce.

With a heavily shaken detachment, Kai jumped off his seat and Oscar also let himself up a little, but Alberto raised just one eyebrow as he vibrated smoothly.

"... oh. Are we negotiating another break?"

Earlier, when the man who screamed at the higher-than-expected forceful army said from time to time "branches stick out" or "I felt signs of a beast", he was about to rest the carriage.

Every time, Alberto "gently encouraged" him to run, though.

"You're going to talk properly," said Oscar, who saw the prince trying to take a seat himself.

"... Hey, wait. We need some rest."

"Wow, I'll see how it goes!

I assumed it wasn't if you were honestly impressed, the air readable Ky, stood up in a hurry.

He left his seat while organizing the words he needed in his head and embarked on his platform.

"Is that...? To Mr. Leo, Mr. Bruno......!?

At the end of the gaze of the bewildered face, he discovered a known man, and opened his eyes wide in almond form.

"Um, Mr. Leo, if you don't mind. This dried grape has a reputation for being delicious."

"Hi..."

Receiving the dried grapes that Kai offered me, Lena thanked her with a mochi.

Apparently, even among these members, Kai perceives himself as a servant, who, because of earlier, restarts fire with unfamiliar manipulations or provides meals between meals.

Even in the open, he was the soul of a squire who looked up.

"Ah, Master Oscar, you didn't like sweets, did you? If so, take this one..."

As Kai shows off her strangely high samurai skills and looks sideways at taking food out of the bag from next to next, Lena once again gives her gaze around.

Bruno next to himself, Ky on the other side.

Next to him, a merchant named Oscar, and...

(I didn't think we'd meet in a place like this...)

Turning to the beautiful young man sitting on the other side with the burning tree pinched, she narrowed her eyes to remain vigilant.

Hair seems to be dyed black, but nose beams through high, clear ice blue eyes.

If you look at the majesty of the born king and Kai's attitude, now you know who he is without going through his thoughts.

It's the First Prince of the Empire and Alberto.

Earlier, when the big carriage suddenly stopped and Kai slipped out of his seat, Lena accidentally said "... what?" I was so surprised that I raised my dumb voice.

Because he was supposed to be in the capital of Eland with Leo.

Somehow I have a bad feeling about it, Kai seems more surprised by this one, "Why are you in a place like this!?" and jumped off the carriage.

That's how Lena tried to return the appropriate answer to that arrow tip,

"- Kai. What's going on?

"Trouble?

Along with such a voice, two more figures appeared from the seat.

One was Alberto, a tough young man with blue eyes in his black hair, and the other, a young man with a spirited look.

Lena immediately perceived the identity of Kai, who was agitated to explain to them, "Ah, this is Leonora's friend in the orphanage, where she was consoled, and she co-developed the example…" and to Lena, who was hesitant to tell them, "Uh, these are... Leonora's, college friends".

I'm around "Leonora," and I even know about formation business, beautiful young man.

If there were more than one such person, it wouldn't be a hoard.

I also forgot to ask Kai what was going on, and when he was as rigid as a frog that met his natural enemies, for some reason, he seemed to have opened his eyes much more when he looked at this one.

"-... you...!

But,

'What the hell, do you guys know each other!? I thought you were a family member of the Spirit of Darkness because you suddenly come out on such a beast path! I don't like it anymore, dust, me, horses, my eyesight, my strength, my strength is the limit! Let me rest for a moment!

I don't know what was going on, but he was so exhausted that his lord suddenly shouted out, and when Kai and I looked at each other, he cut out a break at random.

Thus, "Um, Leo and the others, if you will…" Kai has suggested, so the Lena and the others were also, crumbly, to surround themselves with fire.

By the way, Kunigami is lying neatly in the dirt now that he has taken care of the horses.

Well, why Kai and the prince are on this occasion again.

I couldn't grasp the situation, and as Lena was staring at the other person, he called out to me.

"-... the orphanage where Leonora's condolences came from... are you the child from around the East End?

"... ha. Well."

Why did you find out, and to answer it briefly, Alberto turned out to be a stiff face this time.

"Then it's still you! What a fate. Do you remember me?

"... what?

If the first person you meet has a face like "destiny," it's either a sweet nobleman with a head or a belly-black crook.

As Lena raised her vigilance to its maximum level and sent a roaring reply, she accidentally raised her voice from the side.

"Ooh, what if, about two years ago, Leo helped me and grabbed me a gold coin by wandering around walking out of downtown with patience... aren't you Sun, the son of a nobleman who gave it to me? Rumor has it."

In front of Kai, it is Bruno, who maintains a suspicious tone.

It's an overly descriptive line, but Lena, who perceived the situation thanks to it, made her face slightly stronger.

(Hey... hey, I didn't hear that...!

It's Leo.

I heard you took the gold coin from the magic presentation, but I didn't hear that was the first time you committed it.

(That means wait? You mean this prince and Leo were responsible for this before my body and I were replaced? If it's true that they took the gold coins, then for the prince, it means that Leo (Leo) is the only one who looks like Lena, and of course I (Leo) is the subject of tracking... Hey, uh, how do I behave? I don't have any advance information!

What a nasty situation.

When I was listening to Bruno's memorabilia earlier, Lena was secretly stroking her chest around Leo recovering from the disease, but now I wanted to strut myself like that and stop Leo from breathing.

He's a trouble-free troublemaker who generates trouble to breathe.

"Oh, you're right.... but unfortunately I don't remember, do I?

"Oh... the..."

As Lena panicked quietly, Bruno said,

"Oh. This Leo was dying a while ago from a hard blow to the head, and his memory is a lot vague, sir."

I threw a painful excuse to give it to him.

Even a three-sentence novel won't hire you, it's a fucked up reason.

But when Alberto got a thoughtful look,

"Is that... about Frost White Moon?

"Oh, maybe so, sir"

"I'm dying... is that why the gold coins came back then..."

I snapped so low that I couldn't hear it, I showed something convincing.

"Master Al?

That's what Kai calls the prince, who looks like he's thinking about it.

Apparently, for once, he's laying low on his prince's identity.

When Alberto raised his face, he smiled with standard equipment and a blushing calm smile.

"- No. Right. That's unfortunate, but then let me introduce myself again. Al. I go to the same college as Leonora. I hear about you from Kai. Together with Leonora, he's the owner of a brilliant brain that works out the concept of a formation that summons water."

"Ha, well..."

Lena nodded vaguely, wanting to get rid of censorship of the letter, while Leo's lumpy settings slightly dazzled the current situation, which was indeed spreading naturally.

"You think Leonora also admires you a lot and often stretches her legs out to the orphanage? I hear you're close enough to exchange letters like every day."

"Ha. Well...... I get anxious when I stop contacting him, and he gets anxious too."

"- Heh?

Lena only replied from a substitutional and circumstantial point of view, but noticed that the prince smiled, but only slightly lower, and stared at him seriously.

Soft grin.

Gentle blue eyes.

But - only marginally felt, repulsion.

A few times more sensitive to these negative emotions than Leo, Lena was able to quickly understand who she was.

(... maybe)

I'll say this once and for all, as the flickering on my chest prompts me.

"Well, I don't know, I'm his biggest understander. I think he wants to talk to me, too, because I know his life in Lower Town and his values are in his hands."

"... I'm glad to have someone close to her heart."

"Eh, who's going to look at that? Brother or lover? No way."

…………

Lena watched as she laughed as Alberto stirred up very slightly uncomfortable emotions with a calm grin.

And I was convinced.

(This guy is jealous of me!

Apparently, the most noble prince of beauty on this continent was too jealous of herself, a woman, in love with Leonora, the guardian girl.

Is there such a funny story?

Besides, in the orphanage, even if I was ever more overwhelmed by the depth of Leo's bond with the children, it didn't first mean that I and Leo were too close and jealous.

I have a bad taste.

But... I felt really good.

"Oh, speaking of which, it sounds like there's a rumor going on that he's Prince Sama's fiancée candidate, but let me tell you, I guess I can figure out who he really is much better than Prince Sama or something"

Lena continued to play with a twist and an alberto, good thing the other person didn't try to reveal who she was, even though she was heavily aware of her bad personality.

'Cause I've never been "jealous" before.

Besides, I'm not lying.

What's more, it's quite interesting to know that the prince is starting to have a strong smile on his face.

He smells a lot more human than I thought, and I think he's a little haunted - in the sense of a toy.

"... heh"

"Sometimes I wonder if he and I are a community of destiny, or if we share a body or a mind. Well, for Prince Sama..."

"So."

But Bruno blocked Lena, who was floating and in tune.

"Why are you all here, Ka?

The words make me angry.

It was not a rare experience.

"I'm, as you can see, Ellandic, sir. Along with my friend Leo, trying to tour the contract festival Elando,... well, unfortunately, there's not enough road silver, and they put the carriage down for the better. I walked around, and I got lost, but why are you all here?

Bruno deceives the fact that the tone is frigid, but not as brilliant, and that the Lenas are here.

Then Kai frowned mournfully, "That was a disaster," and then looked up at Alberto like he was worried about the answer.

"-... let's go check on the contract festival, too."

Alberto seemed to have made a quick glance at the neighboring Oscar and decided to tell him some circumstances, albeit without revealing his identity.

"Actually... I heard that Leonora - as a suicide witch, she's supposed to be seconded on behalf of Weitz, being harassed by Eland. I can't stay or stand, and I'm in the middle of a rush to Eland to see what's going on."

"... what?

To an unexpected story, Lena and Bruno looked at each other.

Even though I half expected it, Alberto's destination for the line was Leo - Leonora's ex.

If they keep rushing, the difficulty of escape jumps all at once.

Well, I'm glad it's not a circumstance such as still perceiving the identity and signs of escape and being hunted down, but nevertheless the diagram of Leo being harassed doesn't fall to his heart, and Lena looks suspicious.

Then Kai bought me an explanator and got out.

Being lived in an environment very unlikely to be a national guest, in the name of trials, walked together in a blurry cut in the sun that illuminated, and pulled down by a pile of garbage, etc.

"Still, Master Leonora does not divulge a single thing of health or discontent......! But this is the limit I'm looking at, and tomorrow on the last day - no, is it already today, and I wish things were getting worse and worse and that Master Leonora could get hurt even more, I can't stand it anymore...!

"It's..."

Lena and the others were a little confused.

That does seem quite insulting in the light of our status as a national guest, but from our own experience of living in the lower town, I don't feel we need to make a scene.

Even I think so less than six months of experience in Lower Town, if it's Leo's, I'd rather not even enjoy the situation.

Much familiar with the values of Lower Town himself, Kai daunted his emotions as Lena tried to say a few words of forgiveness as she became a little emotional, screaming with her hands.

"In old clothes, poor hygiene. A crude meal...... He said it was the most heart-breaking thing we've ever done to try to disconnect from Master Leonora so as not to irritate her abominable past......!

"... oh... I see"

Apparently, the tragedy of things is wearing waste because of the delusion of "poor girl who has been abused in the past".

"... no, but look, he's got a solid core, so surprisingly -"

"That's why! A strong preparedness to withdraw from the so-called bad reviews, such as the daughter of a humble lower town... Your core is just too strong, and even if you are exposed to such terrible malice, you will try to endure it...!

"... no so-called, bad reviews...?

Daughter of Despicable Lower Town, the word sounded familiar, and when Lena made her face tense, Kai nodded so strongly that she would ask for her consent here.

"Yes, Leo used to have suspicious documents trying to stop the spread, didn't he? It... it was sent to my husband to tell me what route it was, and it touched his eyes. Master Leonora was trying to bake and hide it...... You have such a terrible slander. Note that no, that's why it hurts me to think of my husband being confronted with trials...!

…………

All the facts connected to the chisel, and Lena blued.

I don't know what kind of route that is, but that was sent by Lena.

I felt irritated that all I was running and wiping my ass about what Leo and the kids did, and I encapsulated a piece of the real thing in my stomach.

Look, there's this thing out there, and he says this one's in trouble.

(... I didn't do anything extra... Huh!

No, but I must have written to you in a letter telling you to burn it and throw it away - oh well, that made things extra bad.

(Oh no, why is this happening whoa......!!

Things about Leo, the first time things got worse in this hand, it was the thought of holding my head.

How does it feel to do everything behind your back, behind your back?

If you ask me, "Master Leonora" approved this trip to Elland, and speaking in the first place, it seems that the role of witch has turned to her, if you correct the original, that there is this monstrous document.

Lena popped her spine, remembering the feeling that just one mistake was becoming more and more important.

Now they, too, seem to think only as much about how things are going, but what happens if this is wrong and they get the certainty that "the girl is being treated unfairly and badly"?

(Let... there won't be a war. I'm not kidding!?

I'm not kidding, but I know Lena, who has tied national history books.

Ancient now, East and West, that the trigger of war can be a really crappy event.

"Ma......, well, if you just calm down a bit!? It could be a really painful situation, but if he doesn't care, why not? It's not like he almost killed anything, I'm sure, Master Leonora, 'cause don't think he'd be happy to make an inadvertent noise. Yeah, don't think so!

With a cold sweat, Lena made this effort to recover the situation.

I don't want to keep the crown line close to Elando if we can, and we don't want to cause a war or anything that's caused by our actions anyway.

And Alberto.

"Right. The noise around us is excessive, because I think Leonora wants it, and that's how we're coming along with patience. Eland is a kingdom of spirits. It is a rarity for the Weitz to intervene strangely. Neither do we intend to ruin things unless Leonora is in a strong crisis."

Along with those words, I will first tell you that I am taking matters calmly.

When Lena, just a little relieved, tried to persuade me to just stay here, but it happened.

- Bass, bass, bass...!

I wonder if he heard powerful wings from above, and all of a sudden a white bird descended around the burning tree.
