Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"Captain William? Isn't that the Lady Dowager over there?

"Huh...?

I looked up from the paperwork that was glaring at my men's voices. Too much work, checking paperwork while walking. I'm used to working like that. He was on his way back to the headquarters of the Sorcery Division with his two men.

If you follow my men's gaze, there's Liddy dressed like a town girl. I remembered what she was doing in the outfit I was used to seeing. Speaking of which, today...

"Huh? There's a dark-haired man next to your queen..."

Staring at the man next to her as the other man was surprised.

These two have some familiarity with her, so I seem to have realized it's her even in that outfit, but I still don't know if I'll notice anything about him enough training.

If you observe closely, you will understand.

"Relax, that's your Highness. It's immature not to know you've changed your hair tone."

"Huh? But the color of my hair."

"We'll just have to talk about magic."

If I pointed him out, you finally realized there, and the two looked awkward.

Even though I'm still a member apprentice, I'm considerate ahead.

"Oh well... right. If you think about it, there's no other man with the Queen..."

You can't forgive me for that.

"Right. I was in a hurry to see if the Kingsguards let the Queen go again."

"You guys have a lot of private language."

The friendliness between her and Her Royal Highness had already become famous not only within the Kingsguard but also within the Royal Palace. But I don't want to hear that. I scolded them sharply when I couldn't stand the topic any longer.

"" Also, sorry!! "

"Absolutely.... As soon as you return, you will be in training for magic enhancement. You don't seem to have enough mental skills."

"Oh no... no"

Ignore the two who turn pale and move the leg again that was stopping them. Still, I really wonder, nature and gaze were after her and Her Highness.

Today is the day the two of them leave for a visit to town. I had heard the story beforehand, but I didn't expect to see it. A bowl is probably bad luck for me, too.

Her Royal Highness next to her was dyeing her hair black. Many people don't know who it is, but naturally I do. There's no way I can tell His Highness's face, which I've known since I was a young girl, by the color of her hair changed.

My chest hurts so that my fingers are tangled and my chest is tightened between the two hands.

I saw Liddy laughing happily at His Highness. His Royal Highness also has a sweet smile directed solely at Liddy, staring into his eyes.

The two walk out of the castle as they talk pleasantly. Keep your hands tight. Wherever that looks like, it just seems like close lovers to each other...

I feel burning pain in the thoughtful eyes Liddy turns to His Highness from time to time.

Her eyes looking at someone she misses. How good would I have been if I had been the one who was pointed at that one.

If I was the other person, how happy I was.

But reality is terribly miserable. There's nothing else she's looking at, because she's next door, Your Highness.

"Captain William? Aren't you coming back?

"Ah...... oh"

Looks like he stopped walking again at some point.

I breathed heavily, making sure they disappeared outside the castle.

No. When Liddy gets involved, I really mess up.

I like her, I like her too much, and I envy Her Highness for the thought that comes from her... and I hate myself more shallow than anything that makes me think that way.

"... we're going back. I'm going to go with my training today."

"Uh... oh, no"

"Do you have any complaints?"

I walk out on my ass with my men shaking their heads in a hurry.

I felt like crying for a long time, and for now I decided in my heart to slap this depression on my men.

◇ ◇ ◇

That's it for today.

"... eh. Thank you."

Turn your back on the two apprentices entering the ground as soon as possible.

After that, I headed to the training ground for magicians and trained myself as declared.

When I brought the two of them to the training ground, there were other members on the spot who looked distracted.

So I decided to take care of it collectively, but isn't this a little too pitiful?

All the more than a dozen members who have completed their training are sitting neatly on the floor wondering if their magic has run out of them.

Absolutely, this makes me laugh with the elite sorcery division.

If this much magic runs out, there's nothing you can do when it matters.

In my ear, trying to get back to my sweaty chamber, I heard the members, even though they were cut off.

"... Captain... a ghost..."

"Hiya... there's no such thing as magic left."

"This is absolutely perfect..."

"Shit... that sounds like the captain, shut up"

The other members were embarrassed in a hurry, but of course I heard them.

"... if you're energetic enough to slap me in the mouth for nothing, shall I put another archery on you?

"Eh, fine!" "Terrible!

Looking back, the members shook their heads wide.

Glimpse and flip yourself.

"... don't miss your own training"

"" "Yes" "

Sigh to those members who can't complain only about the reply, and now it's time to go back to your room. The door opened without any foreshadow when I wiped the sweat and made myself fit. That's all I know about who came.

"Yo, I'm gonna get in the way."

"... a knock is not something you do after you open the door"

I advised the man who would knock on the inside of the door after entering the room, even though I thought it was futile.

This man - I won't listen to him anyway if I tell Alec. I knew that, but still wanted to say a word or so.

From behind Alec, my brother, who looked sorry, frowns in sight.

... Your Highness's sidekick and the Knight Commander, what can I do for you?

"Glenn, you need to stop Alec."

"I'm sorry, brother. I told you to stop."

"Make it hard. Not now."

Like this, I forced my brother, who looked at Alec with a frightened face, to shut the door for now.

Alec said, slowly come to the back of the room and sit back with his feet on the edge of the desk with our faces. I get even more eyebrows at the usual unscrupulous attitude.

"Hey."

He tried not to miss out on the boulders and complained, but Alec said it off with a steady face.

"Will, give me some tea"

…… You, at all. "

Weakened.

I realized again the futility of advising the same all-you-can-do man.

I had no choice but to let my men bring tea for the number of people, and I took a breather and asked Alec for the requirements.

"So what brings you all the way to my room?"

"No? It's not particularly for me. Take a breath."

I told Alec there was no reason. I saw my brother.

"Are you taking me all the way to Glenn?

"Nothing's good. The owner of the room is on a groom date by now. Uh, I don't like it anymore. For days, Fried and Liddy have been trying to make things worse."

Glenn snaps his mouth, wondering if he can do it.

"But I do hear you suggested this visit, Alec. Don't you deserve it?"

That's the first time I've heard of it. I mean, it was surprising.

This is the one who most hates His Royal Highness's business delays. I wondered what the hell kind of breeze it was to bother to say what I knew I would be burdened with.

"Really? But when it comes to a full day of inspections, doesn't His Highness have a job to do? What about around there?"

If he kept his doubts in his mouth, Alec only dried up and exhaled his prepared tea for a long time.

"Uh, well, that's true. A little bit of a favor to Fried. Besides, he got rid of all his work yesterday. I snooped into the office this morning and only my share of the work left me... the Fried one, that's kind of unforgiving."

"That's right, Your Highness..."

I laughed at the story of getting rid of my work and leaving only Alec's share, which in a way seemed to be His Highness. That's better for Alec. Because otherwise, he's a man in good shape everywhere.

I said as my brother reminded me of what I told you about His Highness.

"Speaking of which, it's time for your appointment"

Reminds me of the sight I just had in that word.

I also said I was feeling heavy.

"... Your Highnesses saw you leave earlier. I thought you were wearing a disguise."

"You... you witnessed this?"

Alec looks at this one with a stunned look. I nodded even though I thought it was unpleasant.

"... oh"

"... seriously. You're so unlucky."

"Shut up."

They say it's smudging, and it comes down to it. I know you don't have to say that.

Alec and Glenn started talking by letting me go.

"It's about them anyway, so you said so. He's probably pathetic to witness something like that."

"Alec...... that's just too harsh against my brother. It's an unfortunate accident, so isn't it kindness to stay calm here?"

"An unfortunate accident... you're probably saying the same thing, Glenn"

"Become...? Please don't be with you. I'm purely worried about my brother..."

"Shut up."

If you whine low, you both just whispered.

Still, Alec says without punishment.

"That's right, Will. You, why don't you use some far-sighted witchcraft to check on the Liddy's condition?

"... you"

What torture is that?

I fully understand that His Royal Highness and Liddy are close. Even recently, Liddy herself just told me the story. Do you know that and still apply more salt?

I looked at Alec unexpectedly, but he just laughed at me.

Does this guy really have a nerve thing?

"Don't stare. I'm not trying to harass you."

"What else is there? All I felt was malice."

"No, no, you're not. You're not taking those guys' exclusive security this time. I was wondering if I should know which area you're in on a regular basis and where you're at."

Glenn also agreed with Alec's words.

"From me, too, please. In fact, during this inspection, I advised some carefully selected knights to be dedicated escorts, but I couldn't get them to work with me. Of course, I have contacted the town guard, and when I have to, I am carefully prepared to have a system of cooperation, so I certainly have no problem..."

Alec continues to take over the story.

"He's so strong in vain... 'If you can beat me, you can use it to escort me. I'm trying to interrupt your date with Liddy. Of course it's strong, isn't it? I don't know what to say. You can't say anything if they say so."

Try it, Alec. I'll throw the keys. My brother nodded heavily.

"That's what I'm talking about. Because there is no such thing as a human being in this country who can beat Fried...... Even I knew I'd be turned down, so I didn't take any measures. I took Alec with me in hopes of winning, at least with my mouth...... you were first, weren't you?

Alec shrugged his neck, staring at him as useless.

"Shut up. There's no way you can beat that state of Fried. That guy, when Liddy got involved, he was almost there. Yeah, and he was relentless."

"Isn't that the story of my real sister getting involved? Isn't your sister cute?

"She's my sister and I know she's cute, but I'm not gonna cut myself off"

I raised my hands to Alec, who proclaimed clearly, as if my brother had been frightened.

"That's a lot more flirtatious again."

"Anything. No. Either way, I'm a stupid couple who's going to have a ceremony in a few months. We'll do whatever it takes."

"That's... sure"

You remembered something, my bitter brother.

"In fact, it's true you don't need a dedicated escort if you have Freed, and it's just useless to eat down. If you don't want your horse to kick you too, you better pull it off somewhere moderate..."

To Alec's words, Glenn nodded seriously.

"Perhaps so. I'll remember the liver."

"What are you talking about, letting go of me, the lord of the room..."

If I leave you alone, I feel like you and I are going to be talking all the time. Besides, the content is about His Royal Highness and Liddy.

That's the last thing I want to hear right now.

I couldn't stand it and pinched my mouth.

"No, mostly you deal with stupid couples."

"If you don't have business, get out."

I glanced cold at Alec, who would return it with a serious face.

"For the most part, let's see how His Highness is doing, etc... I can't let His Highness do as much as I can. Don't tell me you can't."

His Royal Highness's magical talent is unplanned. I don't think I'll close the gap. [M]

Even using far-sighted witchcraft would soon be identified and returned.

"I knew it. Shit. I just wanted to see what it looked like."

"Alec, you're a really bad taste. Is that what this is all about after all?"

"It's true you want to know where you are, too, right? But, you know, it's your first date, right? Just imagine it sounds interesting."

My brother praised Alec for the pity, but I totally agreed with him.

... By and large, I don't want to bother to see her and Her Royal Highness looking like they're having fun.

"Go home"

To be brief, Alec stood up nasty.

"Ah hey, I'll go home then... Glenn, don't you dare talk. You've come all this way for you."

"... I know"

Alec, who slapped Pong and Glenn on the shoulder, walks toward the door.

Apparently, Alec came here not out of time or anything, but because my brother asked me to. He's a man who doesn't know if he's really free or if he should take care of him.

Alec laughed small when he saw his brother nodding with a hard face.

"Well, I'm going. I still have work to do. Oh, yeah, well, Will, you should probably get stressed out by the team. Captain William is a ghost because he's become famous in the Magic Division, isn't he?

"... we're all undertrained, we'll have no choice."

I get awkward at the fact that I was known and get out of my sight. I naturally had a sense that I was using the training of my team members to dissipate the accumulated stress.

I couldn't tell you back. Alec just flaunted his shoulder.

"That's what I'll leave you to do. I'm not complaining because my strengths have been raised."

Then Nah and Alec left light.

Only me and my brother will be left in the room.

My brother was letting his gaze wander, but eventually he turned to me as he was determined.

"... it's a message from your father." Come on, you'd have given up, too. Any princess wouldn't disagree anymore, so get engaged. "

I could tell myself that my brow hung on my brother, who lay his eyes down awkwardly.

"Any princess... you say?

I thought my head would boil with anger at the content of my father's message.

"Now... do you say that now? More so, Father!

"Brother..."

My brother has turned a caring face, but that has also been slight now.

I can't believe my father's words. I could have asked her to marry me if she'd said those words a little sooner.

I told my brother to throw up.

"... I will not be engaged. Tell your father I can't care less.... I'm not going back to the mansion for a while"

"Also, are you willing to stay here"

"... it's none of your business"

"Brother."

Ignore the blaming voice. Whatever they said, I didn't want to see my father's face right now.

"... I can't calm down now. Give me a minute."

"... I'll tell Father that. Sorry to bother you, brother."

That's what my brother, who bowed his head, said, and left the room heavily in his footsteps.

Finally alone, exhale loudly. My father's words were still turning my head.

"No princess disagrees," you say? Very well. Well, that's what you said.

Scatter. Disagree till now. As soon as the engagement between her and Her Royal Highness has been decided, this is it.

In other words, anyone but her is nothing short of what my father meant.

"I'm kidding..."

Any princess is fine. I can't believe it.

She's the only one I want. [M]

I've never thought about anything else. Once upon a time...... and even now that her marriage has been decided.

Whenever I see her face, that's all the love I get.

I want to do anything for her.

My best is her, and there's nowhere else to go in the gap.

With this feeling, I couldn't possibly be engaged to someone else or something.

It's a rude story for me and for them.

"... Liddy"

I lean against Her Highness and hold hands, remembering her earlier when she was laughing happily.

At least if you look at her as a bride then......

Can you think of giving up a little? Can it be swept up?

I felt like my hopes seemed thin, but still seemed like that was all I had left to give up badly.
