114. A Possible Eagle Can't Hide His Nails

Blue skies, under white clouds.

I put a beach chair out in the garden and slept on it and it was sloppy.

Just the right wind to stroke your body, the sun and shade alternating to slow-flowing clouds.

Perfect weather for sloppiness.

Next to me relaxing like that, Erica sticks around.

I might as well call it a gobble rather than sticky.

Like a cat when you're in a good mood, you're gobbling around touching me.

I'm totally used to Erica's "this" too, and the weather is perfect for stuffing the best on top of it, so I got annoyed to go in and make her do whatever she wants.

Silently for a while, Erica accidentally opened her mouth when only skinship was everywhere in existence.

"Hey, hey, darling."

"Hmm? What?"

"Darling, when are you going to publish your affair with the king of Aigina?

"With the king?

What are you talking about?

About the Bandits.

"Hey, what are you talking about!?

From all the air, I was so upset.

I almost woke my body up unintentionally, but it was gobbled up by Erica, in such a way that it was holding down my body in substance.

"Haha, you don't have to hide it."

"Yes, no, no, no, no"

I was so upset.

Once upset, I regret it.

I thought if you reacted like this, it would be like you were answering each other.

I forced the rhythm of my heart back (,,,,,,) and asked Erica back about my heart rate, which had totally gone up.

"About what?

"Haha, darling, you don't have to hide it anymore"

Erica laughed Kerakera.

"There's more than three people in this world who can find out what they know."

"Mmm."

I frowned.

More than three people - I don't know what the rationale is for that, but I know from Erica's tone that such a story clearly exists.

At the same time, I understood that Erica was not just a jerk or something, but was clearly convinced that she was asking on top of it.

I sighed.

"Have you told anyone? It."

"Yeah."

Erica shook her head.

After I shook it, I put my chin right over my chest plate.

The trick was adorable, if it wasn't time we were talking about this, it wouldn't be bad to let them like it and watch it relaxed - it was a cute trick that seemed to me.

But not if you're doing that now.

Erica shook her head, but still I wasn't calm.

"Is that true?

"It's true. That's why you're asking Darling. When will you publish it?"

"Mmmm..."

I see, is that indeed the story?

I was a little relieved to hear that.

If you haven't already talked...

"But maybe the king's master is too vulgar."

"Why!

I raised my voice like a scream.

No, maybe it's the scream itself.

"Huh? You couldn't?

"No, you can't."

"Why?"

"Why..."

"Because Darling's ancestors were also the queen's masters at that time. That's a common story. It's normal."

"Mmm."

Second time today. Mm-hmm.

Sure, maybe Erica's right.

The Canoe family was awarded the Baroness because the first generation was the master of the Queen's sword at the time.

That's not all, it's a human being when it comes to kings.

On top of that, there are many beings who learn more than ordinary humans and become so-called "teachers" and "masters" because they require a high level of competence to rule the country.

Master of the Sword, if that means you don't have to hide it at all.

I don't think so.

That's not what I'm talking about.

I was disappointed.

Even if it's normal, it gets noticed.

I don't like being noticed and finding out I'm capable.

I sighed a little.

"In the first place, why would I be so awesome?"

"I wanted to tell everyone that darling is amazing. It's easy for the people to understand that you're on top of amazing people."

"Not at all. Yes!

I was in a bad mood.

That Erica is right.

The masses tend to think it's "awesome" to understand.

Even people who have performed tremendously don't think it's amazing if they don't understand the performance.

To really be understood, it is necessary to detune (,,,,,) so that the public can understand easily.

In that sense, "the master of an amazing man" is a very easy example to understand.

I'm a little disappointed that Erica did that and probably got my rating up again......

Nevertheless, there is nothing we can do about it now.

I give up.

"Don't do that too much from now on. Spread it out, advertise it."

"Why?"

"Because I want to relax"

"Um, okay. If that's what Darling says, I will."

Erica nodded honestly.

There's something a little suspicious about you really figured it out, but I decided to believe it.

Because the weather is nice, and it's cute that Erica is also cute to have her face on.

I switched moods and went into relaxation mode again.

After a while, one maid comes.

"Your husband. Lady Lina is here."

That's what the young maid who came said.

"Lina?

"Yes. What will you do?

"Hmm... here we go. Sorry, Erica."

I turned my face towards Erica.

"Can you take it off for a second?"

"Phew."

Erica with a swollen face. That was cute too.

"Okay. But be cute again later, darling."

No, I don't remember ever being cute... but stop, the story braces me.

"Okay."

When I answered honestly, Erica stood up and walked away with a satisfied look and footsteps.

"Call me."

I went to the maid.

The maid walked away and after a while Lina came.

I woke up from the beach chair, sat with my feet on the ground, and turned to Lina.

Lina glanced at me and snorted.

"Long time no see, Doctor"

"Oh, it's been a while. Is something wrong?

"There are two."

Hmm.

"First, I haven't coached a teacher in a long time."

"Right. Come on, then."

I pulled out my sword.

I'm curious about the other thing, but whatever I am, I can only solve one thing at a time.

I decided to solve the first one first.

Lina pulled out her sword, thanked her, and then slashed me.

Check for improvements in her skills, in a way close to practice.

... Yeah, I practice a lot.

I know very well that I take it seriously from time to time.

I spent some time (,,,,) to see how it went.

The handling is perfect too.

Humans, unexpected movements are breaking down.

Anything, I can make a determined move when I'm practicing, but I don't quite go that way when things happen unexpectedly.

The only thing I can do that is remind my body of it with repetitive exercises and workouts.

Lina could do that.

"Yeah."

After all the checks, I nodded and took a step back.

Lina also laid down her sword and asked.

"What do you say, Doctor?"

"Sounds good. I've taught you, it feels like you're mastering everything."

"Thank you"

"I'll tell you this too"

I waved the sword as I held it.

Slowly, I made it easier to understand and taught Lina the new mould.

Lina made her eyes look like a plate and stared at my movements.

At the end of the one-way demonstration, I put my sword in my sheath and listen.

"What do you say?

"Thank you! I'll try my best to remember!

"Yeah. So, second -"

"Darling's Fool -"

"Buho!

In a completely defenseless place, Erica tackled me from across the street.

Always do when she appears, a tacky hug.

I was hit by it, and they both fell to the ground together.

"Stay... duh, what's going on?

Erica, who pushed me down with a tackle, holds me in her arms and turns her resentful eyes upwards.

"Darling's fool, don't flirt with other women in front of Erica"

"Yikes, that was just teaching you the sword, wasn't it?

How do I look at you?

"It's a flirt! Darling, I was so personal, I was flirting with this kid!

"It's... well"

Maybe that's what happens when people say it's personal or something.

Because I'm a disciple.

If you have a disciple who is serious and who is healthy enough to wear what he has taught you, then that's great.

"Hit Erica, too! Otherwise, I'm gonna cry!

"All right, all right. Later."

"Really?"

"Oh, now that we're in the middle of a conversation, get out of my way."

"Finger-cut then"

"Yes, yes, fingertips."

Erica tied her pinky fingers together.

So satisfied, Erica walked away again.

I tried to be careful not to get disturbed by tackles again.

"Phew..."

"Doctor, what's that (,,)?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah"

Turning to Lina, she looks confused.

Well, what's going on?

Second, I remembered Erica's words earlier.

Karamba Queen Erica Rica Karamba.

I'm close to her like that - on the contrary, I'm a samurai, so relational.

When I get to know that, my ratings go up easily to understand.

That's... not good.

Luckily, Lina doesn't seem to get it yet.

Then...

"He's been a good friend lately."

"Really?"

Lina nodded slightly and became an imaginary face.

...... yeah?

Why, now it's such a serious thought face?

I was curious and honestly decided to ask.

"What's the matter, Lina, look at me like that"

"Possible eagles hide their claws, Doctor."

"Hmm? Yeah, you were there when we first met."

I thought it was extraordinary how much I liked the word.

"I didn't know Queen Karamba was making me fall in love that much, but she wouldn't tease me. Exactly."

"... Huh?

What, what?

Now, Lina, what did I say?

"And you knew who she was."

"Yes, I've met him before."

"... ah"

That's right.

Lina is the royal family of Aigina, Erica is the queen of Karamba.

Naturally knowledgeable.

"I came to ask if that was true today."

"... ah"

Yes, I had another errand to attend to.

Erica's intrusion distracted me, but Lina said that from the beginning.

What...?

"That's my teacher"

"Oops."

I knew this was happening.

In Lina, my ratings went up unnecessarily.
