Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

--Reclaim the seat of Emperor Volakia using something that can be used.

Not only the citadel city of Guaral, but also the "people of Shudrak", Zikl Othman, and the unparalleled Natsuki Subaru.

Yes, Abel was just about to check on Subaru.

--It looks like you've got your talk together.

Priscilla muttered when she saw the conclusion of the meeting and hid her mouth with an open fan.

She was right, and the meeting was in unison. We shared the winning conditions, determined the future policy, and set the next destination and goal.

And then--

"If a handful of elites are headed for the Chaos Frame, what should we do?" Currently, it's me and Abel, and then the four of us, Mr. Talitta and Mr. Medium.... "

"--And with that, can I take one from me?"

Al?

In deciding the final member to the next destination, the Demon Capital Chaos Frame, Al sideways clamped his mouth to Subaru, who tried to select personnel.

Raising his arms, he scratched the back of his neck with his raised hand.

"Princess, can I leave the reins for a moment?" I wanted to be with my brother. "

Ugh!?

"Hey, I was turning around, bro. Isn't that so surprising?"

Al shakes his throat at Subaru, who receives an unexpected suggestion and turns his voice upside down.

But even if she told me not to do anything, Subaru wouldn't scold me for saying, "That's right."

"W-why...?"

"Didn't you say anything?" He said he'd help his brother. I think even a wandering osen like me will help somewhere. "

You were so serious, weren't you?

Shrugging his shoulders, Al's answer surprises Subaru in his recollection of the conversation he had with him prior to the meeting and in his attitude of following the conversation.

I was encouraged by the facts, inspired by the facts, and pushed against my back.

However, I didn't think you were serious about saying "I will cooperate".

"Hey, what's the matter with you being hardened?" Did you feel that moved by my offer? "

”... no, I've never heard of Al being stronger when I got through the first surprise, and the ratio of men to women is really bad when I'm with Abel”

"If you're expecting it, you're evil, but you're much weaker than your Amazonian sister!"

Pointing at Bishi and Tarita, Al took on the pathetic task.

In fact, Tarita's prowess may be referenced in the [People of Shudrak], but now that she has witnessed the battle against the [Nine God Generals], it was a very unreliable battle power enhancement.

No matter what--

"But I'm glad to hear you say that." I'll take your feelings. "

"Hah, don't worry, brother..."? Just feelings? Are you politely declining this? This time, it was because I didn't have a relationship with you, right? "

Svalbard's response is unquestionable, but the way he received it is certain.

I am truly pleased with the offer itself, but this is the Volakian Empire. In the first place, more than flops and mediums, Al's participation is up to you.

"--Al"

And, Princess.

Beside Subaru who concluded that, a beautiful voice suddenly called Al's name.

The voice of Priscilla Barriel, who sat majestically on the round table, was the lord of all voices. She narrowed her red eyes and looked at Al with emotionless eyes.

To Al, who, while being his own servant, expressed his next course of action.

"When I accompanied my concubine to the citadel, it was you who offered to do so." That you left your concubine and went out for fun with your clown companions? "

"I don't think it's going to be a fun-filled trip, but I'm going to." Or does the princess miss me? If you're going to hug me and hold me back..... "

Particularly.

That's right.

The mouthful was blocked by the feeling of eating, and Al became nervous as if he hadn't expected much.

While staring at the top of Al's helmet, Priscilla exhaled in small breaths.

"--At best, dance well."

"Oh, I know." If you're a princess, you can't be indifferent without me or Schultz. The princess is a world apart. "

"There's no need to be told." Who do you think your concubine is? "

"Of course, the heart of the world is my princess, Priscilla Barriel."

Al bowed lightly in front of Priscilla in a dumbfounded voice. Then Al turned around and raised his hand to Svalbard.

"Eh, so this exchange is the final resolution? What's your opinion!?"

"What, I hate it so much, it's dented." Or is it just because I didn't notice the smell of aging? Is it tough being with you? "

"I didn't say that." but why do you have the right to decide..... "

"No, of course you're free to refuse?" But I don't know if I can say no. - You're a princess, aren't you? "

Squeezing his jaw, Al shows Priscilla covering her face with a fan.

The grand behavior was the overriding rationale for Al's words. I turned Priscilla's decision upside down, wondering how terrible it was.

However, if that leads to anxiety, I can't refuse.

"Priscilla, I..."

“-Feel free to follow me if you need to.”

"Abel, you're not treating me like a soldier!"

However, when I tried to give Priscilla an opinion, I was shot in the back again.

When Abel was sandwiched between his mouths, he would stand up to Subaru with his arms crossed. Like Priscilla, we will be stubborn in our intentions.

However, Svalbard has no choice but to file a direct complaint that the terms of employment are different.

If you can't get your opinions in, then what are you a military master for?

“Don't be surprised. If you're worth listening to, let's listen. But I'm the one who makes the decisions. I'll never leave it with you."

"Are you a boss who doesn't want to take away your work...?"

"Don't make me say it again and again. ― ― The results are yours. It has to be."

――――

― ― The emperor who was pursued by the throne had a wise man who could not be underestimated.

Abel wants a Subaru with such a reputation. That's what I'm saying. I'm not willing to give up my hand or exaggerate a little.

But that's nothing like building up fiction.

"It can't be fake." If it's not real, we can't take back what we lost. "

"... then, try to convince me and my surroundings with your hands." Until that happens, it's just a foolish lie with big hopes. "

"Fuck you, I'll do it." I will use any non-performing loans well. "

Grasping his back teeth, Subaru replied, looking at Abel's cold black eyes.

Even if you're pointing in the same direction, you can't forgive your heart. That's not the difference between a kingdom and an empire, but it seems to be the reason why something bigger is apart.

As long as that happens, Abel and I may disagree on a decisive point.

And when that happened, Natsuki Subaru--

"... perhaps you mean me, Princess."

Particularly.

Priscilla responded briefly to Al's murmuring as she dropped her shoulders.

△▼△▼△▼△

― ― The expedition members to the Demon Capital Chaos Frame decided, and the situation moved.

"Gather the soldiers of the Citadel before I return." I'm not far away, I'm touching it. "

"Even if it's my life, let's do it."

At Abel's command, Zikl, who was kneeling on one knee, greeted and ordered it.

Unexpectedly, Zikl was in a position to turn the mighty empire against him. His posture was not lost, but not all of the city's generals were.

In order to unify their intentions and assemble them as a single army, it is essential that the efforts of the "general" be made. In that sense, Zikl's existence was a pickup.

"Mr. Zikl, I think it's difficult..."

"No, this is the role that I am supposed to play as a 'general'." What is the matter with you when you compare it to "Bloodless Castle Opening"? "

――――

Svalbard looked down at Zikl's words, which were laughing so vigorously as he stretched his chest out.

It was Subaru's track record to hold the [Bloodless Castle Opening] and say that he was able to do it, and that he failed. As a result, Lem's expectations were betrayed, leading to disappointment.

However, Zikl narrowed his eyes at Subaru's appearance.

"Don't be discouraged. You prayed for the [Bloodless Opening of the Castle], and your lordship was cleared. And in fact, I and the generals joined your army without bleeding.”

"Without bleeding, that's..."

In exaggerated terms, Svalbard's voice clogs up as he looks at Zikl's wounded bandage. But Zikl loosened his cheeks and then forced off his bandage.

A blood-stained bandage is removed, and the wound engraved on his arm is revealed.

"To this extent, it's a predatory wound for military personnel." More than that, you should be proud. As a result of your efforts, we have no shortage of Generals to fight for you. "

――――

“You are to do your duty. - Miss Nutmeg."

I don't know if I could return the right words to Zikl who would say that.

However, even if I could not give him the praise, I thought favorably of Zikl's personality once again, and it seemed that it was a result of not letting him die.

And then--

"--Are you sure you want to go?"

――――

"No, I said something strange." Forget it. "

That's why I shook my head to the side with my tired eyes.

A lem standing at the entrance of the city hall with a cane. As a healer, she doesn't look like an inn, but rather like a lightweight healer who runs around for the wounded.

Lem remains in Guaral.

The Subaru heading for the Chaos Frame was temporarily taking a different course of action.

Before saying goodbye, Subaru smiles bitterly at the words of Lem, who came to see me off. I can't do that, even if I know a word you cared about me.

It's not all good, but it's hard for me to tell you to forget about you.

"Ah, that's not what I meant..."

”Whether I was strangled or my fingers were broken, everything you gave me is an irresistible and important memory for me”

“How's it going?

I didn't mean to scold you, but Lem's cold eyes shot me through.

When I looked back at the events that had hit me hard since Volakia flew me, there were only a few things that had a strong impact on the pain and suffering that came to mind.

Of course, there are many memories of hope and joy in this heart, such as walking up to Lem and being compassionate from her.

― ― Even the hardest memories have been put in the same place.

”I'm not nervous... are you sure you're okay?”

"You must be tired of feeling tingling all the time.... if you ask me if I'm okay, there are a lot of things I think about. If I could, I'd stay with you forever."

Haha

"I don't care!" No, I just hope it doesn't get ignored..... "

The words I told Lem are the true meaning of Subaru, although they are very damaging.

There was a great annoyance about leaving Lem in Guaral until just before. Honestly, I want to retract the foreword and take her from me at this moment.

How good would it be to protect Natsuki Subaru from the misery, powder, and all the evil that befell her?

The truth is, I just want to tie you and me with a string that won't cut you off forever.

"Are you serious...?"

I understand.

――――

Finally, you can't even say, "What?"

Of course, I knew I would be rejected if I told you, so it was just a suggestion to say no. It's best to tie yourself up with a lem all the time so that you always know you're safe.

In some cases, they won't stop using the power they've woken up at the Pleiades Watchtower.

"Cor Leonis doesn't really know how to use it..."

The new power of Subaru, [Cor Leonis], manifested in the Pleiades Watchtower, is a force that can blur the position and situation of allies around Subaru. In addition, there were aspects where Subaru could take on the burden of his people and keep them safe.

Or maybe with that power, I could take on the burden of Lem's crippled legs and let her run around the wild mountain energetically.

I don't want to let Lem get out of my reach.

――――

Why do you suddenly look so depressed?

"No, I hate myself."

As Lem pointed out, Subaru sighed as he held his withered face with his hand.

I thought about it. Lem's weak legs have kept her from Svalbard. The inability to escape was one of the factors that kept Svalbard and Rem from ending their relationship.

I thought I was lucky that Lem wasn't good enough.

"Because of this, even Lem can't trust me."

At all times, Svalbard thinks of himself.

I wanted to be more gentle. I wanted to be gentle, clever, and strong. I've been working hard for everyone's sake, and it's not enough to stare back at it in the tower.

Lem believed that I couldn't get Natsuki Subaru back.

"Um...?"

"Sorry, it was a bit sentimental."

What are you talking about?

"Don't worry about it. It's a rhetoric that only knows my neighborhood and...... Al."

Shrugging his shoulders, Lem frowned slightly at Subaru who replied. However, she rubbed her eyes and wiped out the wrinkles, as if to send ahead the emotions that sprouted in her heart.

I guess there was a lot of conflict in the rem. There must have been something she thought she could come out and say goodbye.

“I'm not going to leave it empty for long. Without you, I won't be able to stand it."

"...... again, that kind of thing"

"Um, I mean it... but if I feel bad, I'll try to refrain from it as much as possible"

You're not going to stop, are you?

Gazed at, Subaru dropped his shoulder and showed a posture of reflection.

Of course, I don't want to ruin Lem's mood, and I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable. However, that overflowed with strong feelings towards the Rem inside Subaru.

However, whatever Subaru said to disappoint Lem, it was.

"Hang in there, I'll be right back." I'm going to bring home a good report. "

"... yes, I'm looking forward to Abel, Medium and Talitta."

"Anyway, Al, I..."

――――

Although I asked just in case, the temperature of Lem's gaze remained unchanged.

But I guess Subaru looked so pathetic in response. Lem was silent for a while, and then he let out a small breath as if he had given up.

“If we talk about believing in you and not believing in you, it's a lot better.”

"Believe me, I don't believe you, you didn't tell me..."

“As usual, the evil smell hasn't faded, but that's not the problem.”

"That's not the problem...?"

Lem's pale blue eyes kept going like that, and the unbelievable light that didn't disappear inside.

We will be separated from each other for a while to come. Her mistrust - even if we know it was due to Subaru's failure in Guaral, we need to get rid of it a little bit.

Not for Svalbard himself, but for the emotions of Lem who waits in the city.

“Tell me, Lem. If I can do anything, I'll do my best. How can I clear up your anxiety?"

"... then why are you still dressed like that?"

Eh!?

That's what Lem said in his eyes, and Subaru looked down at himself.

Long black-haired wig, white powder to hide the scratch, thoughtful outfits to prevent body lines from coming out, and ornaments that are only gorgeous-

"Was there something wrong...?"

"There's nothing strange about the fact that I'm still wearing that outfit when I leave the citadel. What are you going to do about it?"

"No, that's why I explained it was necessary!"

While watching the temperature of Lem's eyes drop, Svalbard let out a screaming voice as he continued his nut mi Schwartz state.

I didn't expect this outfit to play a role in her mistrust, but as I told Lem, there's a good reason.

"Lem, as I told you yesterday, we're from the country next to this country." And when my real name is known, it will cause trouble across the country. That's why I need it. It's not really me, Natsumi Schwartz! "

Hah, is that so?

"I have not been able to dispel my mistrust at all!!"

The temperature of Lem's jaws and eyes did not change, but rather I felt that it even increased my mistrust.

However, this is a countermeasure that Subaru has seriously devised by placing the situation and the role imposed on the balance.

― ― You can't sell the name "Natsuki Subaru" in this Volakia Empire.

Already, Natski Subaru is an important figure in the Kingdom of Lugnica, the Emilia Knight. In other words, what we are doing now is a fine interference in the internal affairs of our neighbors.

"No, there may not be any fine interference in internal affairs, but..."

However, what is important is that the responsibility for the consequences of Subaru's actions is not limited to Subaru alone. --To put it simply, it might bother Emilia.

As her knight, Svalbard, who had vowed to help her aspire to be king, was never allowed to take such a step back.

"So, it's Nutmi Schwartz." It doesn't matter how much it sells, as long as it's nut mi's name. Nutmeg is just a beautiful dark-haired girl who suddenly appeared in the Volakia Empire. "

Are you finished?

"Not yet! And by my calculations... the name Nutmi Schwartz leaves me with a chance of knowing who I am in Lugnica."

Rather, the biggest reason for limiting the pseudonym to "Natsumi Schwartz" is there.

It was not the first time that Subaru dressed as a woman and called himself Natsumi Schwartz. Not that it's a surprise at the Roswell Mansion, but I had the opportunity to dress as a woman if I had to, and everyone knows who it is, except for Emilia.

At that time, the pseudonym you named was the same. In other words, assuming that the existence of Subaru has gained popularity within the empire as Abel thought, if the spreading name is "Nutmi Schwartz", Emilia and others may have the opportunity to know that Subaru and others are being flown to the empire.

Therefore...

"I'm dressed like this when I need to."

".................. I understand."

It took me a long time, but I was relieved to get Lem's understanding.

Anyway, for that reason, Subaru's status as a woman will be maintained for a while now. I don't want to take too long to undermine Lem's trust, but that depends.

"Lem, if you have any problems, talk to Mr. Flop or Mr. Zikl." If it's hard for a man, Misserda is. Don't hold me alone. "

"I won't let you tell me that, but I'll listen."...... please make sure that you don't cause trouble to Abel-san or Medium-san. "

I'll just watch the back.

I don't want to burden Abel with medium or tarrita.

Sometimes I break my cool face, sweat on my forehead, and Abel should struggle.

Then, if you don't hesitate to say goodbye to the precautions, you'll be close to the departure.

Holding back the difficulty of separation, before leaving--

"Lem, what's wrong with him?"

"Are you Louie?" I think you're with Utakata-chan by now... "

I see.

"... it's not like you want me to call you."

I lowered my voice and Lem turned to look at me.

It was about Subaru's intentions, but it was never pleasant. Rather, it was a narrative with deep frustration and bitterness.

Since defending the City Hall, little contact has been made in a hurry, but Subaru's vigilance towards Louis remains. Rather, suspicions do not clear up.

Even if you are nostalgic for Lem and Utakata and work well with Shudrak and the others, you don't know when and where to expose your true nature.

In that sense, I was also worried about leaving Louis behind.

It's just--

You've been keeping an eye on Guaral for a long time, haven't you?

――――

It's just now.

That's what Lem told me, and I didn't have a word to return.

If Louis had taken any action, it would have had many chances. Together, it might be futile to keep an eye on Louis.

I told Kuna and the others not to be alarmed.

"Stubborn..."

Svalbard thought for a moment when he heard a small whisper.

Initially, Lem was not told about Louis' true nature or dangerous authority because there was no soil to trust Subaru's story. In that situation, I wanted to tell Louie about the situation and avoid being distracted by the loss of trust from Lem.

But what about now?

Relationships are improved, and people listen to stories even though they are cold. Now, even if we talked about Louis' true nature, we wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

"... no, don't be stupid."

He shook his head to the side and rejected the idea that appeared in his head.

You may believe it, but there's nothing you can do about it. Louis didn't pull out his tail until now. As soon as I spoke to Lem, it was difficult to imagine that I would reveal the true nature that I had hidden. The situation remains the same.

Instead of making Subaru feel refreshed, it just adds to Lem's anxiety.

You don't have to imitate me like that.

"...... it's that face"

"Oh, you just have to put aside all your happiness in Lem's life."

“How's it going?

Lem's gaze grew tighter as he stood up against Subaru.

However, if you try to speak, there will be endless talk.

"- Brother, it's time to go."

That said, Al is waving as he leans against the carriage.

Behind him is a carriage and a giant creature that rivals the carriage - a creature called the Tropical Horse - that will pull the itinerary.

"It seems that Vorakia is a rare animal that can only be given to the [Admiral]..."

"Mr. Zikl lent it to me, didn't he?" He's a female, and he's consistent. "

"Consistent...?"

Lem tilted his neck as Svalbard's words seemed not to ping.

At this rate, Lem reacts to Subaru's words. These happy environments will be taken care of for a while.

"Hey, brother?"

Um, Al's calling.

"Yeah, that's right. I know that, but...."

――

"The soles of your shoes are so hard to get off the ground... it hurts, hurts, hurts!"

He scratched his back with the tip of his cane, and the soles of his shoes, which were supposed to be stuck, left the ground. Keep going two or three steps forward, and the distance from the rem will be opened.

He and I are at a great distance, seriously.

"Rem, I've told you many times..."

"I will be careful, and I will be vigilant. If I'm in trouble, I'll rely on someone. Goodbye.”

"Uuu..."

Svalbard dropped his shoulders and withered as a farewell was spoken. Looking at such a Subaru, Lem sighed profoundly, "Absolutely."

"Please be careful and come along." I'm waiting for you to come home. ”

"Ah....."

“I won't suddenly disappear.... I trust people other than you."

Asked to add, Subaru chewed it carefully.

After that, he shook his head vertically many times, and as he saw Lem frowning,

"- I'm coming!"

And then, with a big wave of his hand, he was sent off to Rem.

△▼△▼△▼△

――――

The carriage was moving away, and it passed through the main gate of the citadel city and disappeared.

The carriage is aimed at the southeast of the city and the demon capital, Chaos Frame - even in the Empire, it is based on the power of the referee, and the focus is on whether or not the person can be dictated.

Honestly, if it means soliciting someone, then the choice to take Subaru remains open to question.

"... I'm sure everyone will admit to all the hard work."

Lem narrows his eyes to the tracks of an invisible carriage as he sits on his cane.

Svalbard was in a state of not leaving the realm of pranks until the end of his life. There were various excuses lined up, but I could only imagine that Lem didn't want to stop wearing women's clothes.

Of course, I don't think all the excuses I put in line are lies.

"Did they do it?" The city will be a little more ventilated if all the busy things disappear. I don't know if it's good news or Abel's head to take home. "

"-Priscilla-san"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Lem who stood up.

Without turning around, it was the beautiful woman with a vivid impression of red who gently stepped forward next to her - Priscilla who wore a sumptuous dress and exposed her violent beauty sparingly.

Ever since Alachia, who stormed the city hall, and was saved from the violence, Lem hasn't had a conversational conversation with her.

That's why you're suddenly spoken to, and confusion and bewilderment get stronger.

"... thank you very much"

Hmm, thank you for what?

"Yesterday, it happened in the city government building. You saved me from that woman named Arachia. Not only me, but everyone else.”

"You think there are a lot of people who have taken lives?" If my concubine tells me, you will be the one who took their lives. You used your talents and skills to save those who were dying. The concubine had no intention of showing mercy. Don't twist your concubine's behavior on your own

"I didn't mean to..."

No, Lem reflects.

It is a bad habit to try to judge the other person's thoughts, actions, and intentions by fitting them into your own type. Not just Priscilla, but many times.

When I think of the memory that was lost, it's only been two weeks.

――――

"What, you're not going to say anything back?" That's a very boring decision, isn't it? "

"... I'm sorry, I thought you were right. But the fact that I'm grateful to you, you can't twist it."

Huh?

Interestingly, Priscilla pulled a fan from the valley of her chest. Then, when you open it with a sound, you cover your lips in a gently shaped manner.

However, there was an inexhaustible joy and a ray of opportunity in both eyes that could not be hidden.

"I heard you lost yourself like that... but I don't know how you can answer to my concubine"

The expression “I lost myself” is slightly different. Just because I can't remember, it doesn't mean it's gone. "

Grasping his hands against his chest, Lem defends Priscilla.

If it's gone, it's no different from a dream that no one can reach. But Lem's lost memories didn't disappear. It wasn't in Lem, but in Subaru, who was desperately trying to get it back.

If what he says is true, it seems that he has a twin sister.

Does that sister still have her own existence before she lost her memory? Among the people Svalbard talked about, and among the people he didn't see yet, he was himself.

If all of the rem disappears and everything is piled up from a non-existent place, even if it's cut off--

"--If that's the case, my chest won't hurt anymore."

――――

"All the time, every second, every second comes to mind. Every time I see him, I continue to betray his expectations."

Of course, Subaru didn't mean to do that.

For a moment, the smell was so thick and colourful that it was hard to confirm even his appearance - his face was always desperate when he peered through it.

And the desperation is directed at the vanished self, which is not left in the rem.

"How selfish is that?" I'm dazzled by myself..... "

That's why I couldn't tell him that I was happy to be separated.

And this ugly feeling of yours isn't just a relief.

"What did you say your name was?"

Huh?

"It's your name." Did you lose your name at the same time as yourself? But it is certainly called by name, not nameless. that's for sure.... "

Priscilla raises her gaze lightly and asks the void for answers.

Perhaps she remembers Lem's name. Even for a short time, I could tell that she was a very good intelligent person.

At the same time, he was a mean person.

Therefore...

"--It's Lem."

And before he could knowingly say the wrong name, Lem called himself that.

Even if the memory is lost and there is no sign of returning, and you are separated from the person who knows you in the past, at least for the past two weeks, the only [name] that has been called and self-identified is authentic.

"Interesting."

Priscilla mumbled briefly when she heard the answer.

Then she made a sound and closed the fan, and gently lifted Lem's jaw with the tip of the closed fan. From the front, the red eyes shot out, and the heat burned Lem's throat.

However, even though I could not say anything, I stared back into my eyes.

"Lem, I'll leave you by my concubine for a while."

"... beside it?"

"Whether it's cultivation or aspiration, it's not accompanied by ability. The concubine will moderately rehearse the crafty healing magic. That way, you'll be able to see a little bit.”

"-! Can you teach me the healing technique?"

"Besides, my concubine has no cultivation in healing techniques." It's just that I have aesthetic eyes. I can see what you're missing. "

――――

The answers that came back were not what I expected, but in a sense they were more than what I expected, or they deviated greatly from what I expected.

However, if the only skill of the current Rem - healing magic that can heal others - can be used, it is worth relying on Priscilla's words.

If I had more power, I'd think so, and I just regretted it.

But will Priscilla return to her base?

"Don't do that. I even put Al's guy on Abel." It is not far away to see whether the conditions imposed by the concubine can be met or the results can be obtained. Wait here. I'll call Schult to solve it, no matter how handicapped I may be. "

"Hah, hah..."

Priscilla decides to stay in Guaral for what touched the wire. In any case, it would be helpful if she could teach you.

There are still a lot of people in this city who need some awkward Lem healing surgery. We can't leave them behind and leave the city.

"If so, prepare a concubine's room." I'll let Schult do the details, but I need a place to spend today and tomorrow. "

"I see, I get it. I'll have it ready for you soon.”

My face commands me, but Lem doesn't want to disobey me.

It was true that Priscilla had a style of obedience to others, but Lem himself was not reluctant to be commanded to do so.

I rushed back to the City Hall with my cane and thought I had to consult with Zikl about Priscilla's stay and the preparation of her room.

Since the "people of Shudrak" are not familiar with the activities in the city, I feel sorry to rely on Zikl in many parts.

However, he is a man who is neither dislikeable nor impossible if a woman relies on him.

"Ah, Ray, I'm..."

"Utakata-chan"

Inside the city administration building, Zikl ran into a girl who was looking out the hallway window as she walked to the office.

When she noticed Lem's figure, Utakata smiled with a friendly face. Unbearably, Lem loosened his cheeks and laughed back.

"I'm sorry I'm so bumpy."

"Wu is fine, hechara." I was more worried about Woo Tar than I was about Woo Tar. Fuzzy and tiny. "

"Talitta-san, yes..."

Tarrita, newly appointed chief, accompanied Svalbard on his journey.

Even in the eyes of a young girl, I could see the figure of Tarrita crushed by the suddenly imposed big role. Still, she took a step forward in seeking her own solutions and gaining confidence.

If I don't have anything to say to myself, even while I'm squatting and exhaling, I'll leave Lem behind and keep moving forward.

I never wanted to curse the world with tears and pull everyone's legs.

"I'm sure Mr. Talitta will be fine." That's why you and I will protect the place where Tarita returns. ”

"Tan, I get it! Lane, you can count on me, Le."

"Is that so?" When I say that, I feel a little bit more confident. ”

Lem loosened his cheek slightly to the unwanted words.

Then, noticing the discomfort, Lem turned his gaze around. Nestled in the aisle and looking out the window, Utakata was alone, and there was no one around.
