Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

137. Be serious about what you like

Nice sunny afternoon.

When I tried to go out to the garden to get sloppy, I ran into my sister who came from the other side in the hallway.

"Sister"

"It was just right. Hermes, your package has arrived."

"To me?

"Yes"

My sister gave me the parcel she had.

I'll take it and take the parcel seriously.

It is a parcel that can be held in one hand and there is no sender or anything written on it.

"What is this?"

"From Neinos," he said. Someone named it after him. "

"Seriously!

The moment I heard that name, I was excited.

Tear the parcel apart and remove the contents.

The contents were a book.

What is it?

My sister peeked into the book I had and frowned.

Ah, is it a photo album again?

"Little, sweet, sweet sister. It's sweeter than honey-pickled donuts."

"Imagine a chest burn. What is it?"

"It's faster for you to see than to explain."

That's what I said and opened the photo album in front of my sister.

The next moment, a beautiful woman popped out of the open page.

Looks like it's slightly translucent but still floating on top of the page.

"Hey, what is this!?

That's what my sister was surprised to see.

I'm surprised at the appearance of the emerging beauty and my face alternately.

I wonder if it's a photograph that pops out.

"Photos to pop out?

"That's right. Are you collecting photos based on composition, or like this?

While saying that, I made the photo album look down and sideways like a normal one.

At that moment, my sister turned her eyes towards me.

Cold eyes as if the temperature in the hallway had dropped several times in an instant.

My tension remained high, so I offset it.

"But if you do that, you can't see anything. But I can see that, if this picture pops out."

"I mean...."

"Look, from this angle, it's in front, but you can see the nose clearly when you turn this way."

"I see...."

"Look at your sister."

I pushed a photo album that jumped out to my younger sister with low tension.

While feeling uncomfortable, my sister turned around the photo album.

Every time I turned the page, the semi-transparent beauty that was popping up disappeared, and another composition, or another beauty, popped up.

That's how she flipped over to the last page with Paraparallax.

Oh?

And I was surprised to see the last page.

What's the matter, sister?

"On this last page... there's a technology provider, Hermes Canoe."

"Yeah, I helped."

I put my hand on my hips and chest. [M]

Cooperation?

"Developed and delivered new technologies"

"... did you get this pop-up picture?

"Invented"

I nodded.

Everyone in this photo album is also "Ortier."

"Neinos is like the end of a photo album, and I was consulted about how to bring the charm of the Ortians to the men of the world."

"... so you're using this technology?

"Oh, I tried to get it out of my head."

Isn't that right?

My sister opened the window and threw the photo album into the sky.

A collection of photos that quickly became stars.

What are you doing, Hermes?

"No, for Ortier's sake..."

"Please don't take this seriously. Please take it seriously."

"Er... that stinks."

"It's not a question!

Her sister sighed after she was angry.

"Whatever you say doesn't seem to matter anymore."

Well, I guess so.

"... that technology"

Yeah?

"Do you all know that Hermes invented it?

"Oh, you said you'd pay for the technology at first, but then you won't be able to use the Indies to produce an Ortier photo album, will you? That's why, finally, I decided to use my name as much as anyone liked."

"... I see. I won't say anything anymore."

"Oh, really?

My sister retracted lightly, which was a bit surprising.

He turned his back and disappeared across the hall.

Are you convinced?

After a few days, she said she was relaxing in the living room.

A mistake came in.

Miss comes after the assignment, and it is unusual to come to the living room.

As soon as I was lying down, I woke up and saw a mistake.

"What's wrong?

"I'm sorry for taking a break. Lina came to see me."

"Lina?

I said, "Hmm."

It's not like Lina's coming once or twice, but rather a little bit.

I solved my posture.

"Your Highness is dressed in formal clothes, so is ours."

Dress up?

"Yes"

"... why?

"Now, for me...."

Miss also frowned.

It's not like she's hiding something, and it looks like she hasn't made any mistakes.

……

I had a bad feeling.

I had a very bad feeling.

"Okay, I'll get dressed and meet you. Please wait a moment."

Ha.

Shortly after Miss left, I called my maid and put on my dress first.

After dressing properly as a nobleman, I went to the reception room.

There was Lina in the dock.

Not only Lina, but there were many officials.

Some of them had known each other.

"Maybe... Moro"

"Hmm! It's Mauro Korokos. It's been a long time, Lord Cano."

Oh, wow.

Moro was as hot and painful as he had been when he had seen him before.

He took my hand and shook it unilaterally.

"Er... what is this?

I wondered what was going on, and I saw Lina.

"Very good."

Eh? Ah, yes.

Fine - I knelt before Lina when I heard the King's words.

Lina took something from Moro, opened it and started reading.

"We are very excited about the new sandbox technology."

"Shinta... what?

"I would have given you a lower reward, but I was overwhelmed by the ser's desire not to receive a reward for this technology and to take advantage of it."

"I don't want any rewards...."

What are you talking about?

I'm getting a bad feeling about this.

"In honor of its sincere heart and accomplishments, I will henceforth allow all those who use its technology to bear the name of Hermes -"

Huh?

"Thank you?

"Oh, thank you. Happy."

I lowered my head once and got up after receiving the book that Lina read to me this way.

And I heard Lina's fearful expression.

"Um... what the hell is this?

"There was your sister's movement."

In front of Moro and the officials, Lina and I communicate in a harsh tone for strangers instead of usual.

But even with a hard tone, I found Lina smelling a little bit.

"My sister?

Hmm. You know the sandbox.

"Yes... the face of the sand used in the weapons exercise. It's a three-dimensional reflection of the terrain by using sand when planning a mission."

"Hmm, the sandbox literally used sand, but it's bulky and dirty. Your sister told me you developed a photography technique to solve that?

"... ah"

"Remember?"

"Ah, that's not true, for the business of the photo album..."

"Oh, that's amazing."

Heh?

Lina was impressed.

What's so amazing?

"I hear a lot about the conversion from military technology to civilian life, but it's hard to go from civilian to military."

"Mum."

"That's right, Sir Cano. I will report it to His Majesty again."

"Wait, wait, wait."

I stopped Lina, but she didn't stop at all.

"Hey, I don't know...."

Somewhere I didn't know, I sold the photo album that my sister was about to pop out to the kingdom, emphasizing that it was my invention.

Ofu...
