My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I’d Open Up a Weapon Shop
Episode 160: It's Like a Male or Female Dispute
- I finished listening to Leila, and for one thing I decided to ask Silvia and Sakura to return to the Spring Young Leaf Pavilion.
Because I'm not going to have any more conversations that my attendees need, and it's time for the sun to go down.
"In the meantime, you'll try to adjust to turn it around to work at the head office, but I can't guarantee it because it depends on the wishes of the rest of the staff"
"Yeah, I don't mind. No need for dependency."
Layla cares about Garnett in a polite manner as she responds to me.
I don't know why I'm being seen with intimidating eyes from Garnett, and I guess I'm having trouble reacting.
I can imagine what's causing him to react like this.
But that's something Leila can never explain.
I can even think of anything that comes to mind.
I am just as complacent as I am if I haven't been able to confirm my identity, and I don't have the nerve to get confirmation.
It's not like I've never had experience with (...) Ko (...) and (...) in my life before, but Garnett is just too different in terms of birth and age difference.
"I repeat, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to accomplish the engagement. We are going to evaluate the Knights of the Dragon King in terms of who they deserve."
"It would be easier for you to do that even with me."
Leila's remarks were much less far-fetched from earlier, but I didn't find them offensive.
Regardless of the length of the back, when it comes to flexion, there is a sense that high ranking adventurers and knights are opening their water greatly.
It's not a good or bad thing in itself, it's just a story that doesn't fit my personal preferences, and yet I don't consider Leila special myself.
Not to mention that if the ideal was His Majesty Alfred, it couldn't have been that I was disturbed or anything, just because it didn't fit Leila's taste.
"Well, I wonder. At first, I don't care what you think, you might end up flat-handed later."
"That's when it is. If you've come to want him to be your partner, you're going to change your policy cleanly. It's only a hypothetical story, so I don't think it's likely."
Listening to Layla's response, Garnett became more alert.
I didn't even think it was just a suicide bombing right now because they just replied to a tentative story I had brought myself, but I didn't dare put it to words.
"I'll make sure of one, just in case. Treat me here as just 'Layla'. It's not Beatrice Leila Heindman, the Knights of the Dragon Kings' edge, it's just 'Leila'."
That doesn't have to be said.
When I first agreed and then glanced at Garnett, Garnett also nodded silently and agreed.
"Of course, I will also treat you not as Garnet Argentia of the Silver Wings Knights, but as just a 'garnet'. Please tell both of you that I came home first."
"Those guys will be fine. I didn't tell anyone about me."
"... you trust me. I'm in awe. I believe in that trust, too."
At least, we seem to have convinced each other about hiding who it is to be involved in the Knights.
Looking out the window, the sunset seemed imminent.
"Shouldn't it be time to go home? Have you decided where to stay yet?
"No way, you're not thinking about pushing me into an empty room here"
When Garnett joked - the intimidation remained intact - that said, Layla returned her remarks for the first time emotionally.
"Become! You can't be such a disgrace!
"Ha...!? Oh, you! Didn't I tell you not to get caught up in an old idea or something!?
"That's not what I'm talking about! Unexpectedly, you can rent a bunk for your guests!
"I'm not doing the White Wolf solder thing!
"Even friends and acquaintances should avoid it!
Watching as if it were an age-appropriate argument between a man and a woman, like any other HR.
... It's just a metaphor, of course.
I am well aware that the (...) argument of a man (...) woman (...) is fundamentally inconclusive.
If I pinch my mouth poorly, I'm going to be unnecessarily stuck.
A single hand of static vision would be the best solution here.
Nevertheless, it makes me feel somewhat odd considering that they are officials of the Silver Wings Knights supposedly keeping old values and the Neutralists of the Dragon King Knights supposedly hoping for real change.
"And anyway! Please excuse me around here today! Don't hesitate to use it as an employee in the future! So Ha...!
Dragging the remnants of the excitement, Leila politely left the house.
Garnett shrugged pompously as Leila squeezed out as she dropped her gaze on her hand with an awfully complicated look on her face.
"... disgrace..."
"No, that's not it, 'cause I know best, right?
The air was going to be weird if it stayed like this, so I decided to change the subject anyway.
I just had some questions I'd like to ask you right away.
"Who is Miss Alma more than that? You're lying about your sister."
"Mm-hmm. You know what I mean. It's me."
Was it still so?
Garnett seemed to understand what I was asking after I figured it out, and he started to tell me more about the situation from himself.
"Even if you fake your gender and join the Knights, the fact that the former Knights chief had a daughter doesn't go away. I don't care if you delude my son because all of a sudden he shows up as a hidden son."
"... I'm not trying to be mild, but my daughter decided she was dead or something, and you didn't do it that way"
Garnett pressed silently for a while and responded "Oh" as he grumbled.
"To convince my father, I made a condition. I behave as a Silver Winged Knight with my mother's revenge... until I defeat Agate Lamb of the Mithrill Trafficking Organization or when I become eighteen. If you think about (...) after (...), you can't have killed the last daughter of the former captain."
That said, the smile Garnett had on his face was like covering up a dim emotion I didn't want to show.
"... Wait a minute. When that happens, my youngest daughter will be known as' Alma 'for a long time. But you've been a garnet since you were a kid, haven't you?
"Hmm? Yeah, I guess so."
Garnett's expression switches to that as usual, and his lips catch him as if he were even going to seed a prank.
"They're both my names. Garnet Alma Argentia is the name given at birth. Multiplied by the mess of the war, deluded by the fact that it was actually the brothers and sisters of Garnett and Alma... what an approximate face. Did I say something funny?
Garnett has looked up at my face in surprise.
Apparently, he was smiling unconsciously.
I thought I'd found out about you again.
"Ugh... that's not a big deal. Well, that's about all I know so far, my family and you..."
Garnett has clouded her words a little and kicked my foot gently to delude her.
