Chapter III: 76: Behind the Scenes x Bad Skills x Fingering

- Time returns a little, to the scene of an operational meeting on the way to Mazers territory.

"I won't let the villagers or Emilia know the fact that witchcraft is imminent. The reason for the evacuation is... blurry, bandits, bandits, etc. I think it would be nice if they got into the vicinity."

"The basis for concealing the facts… is this something you don't even have to ask"

Julius shows understanding in a sigh when he hears the rise of Subaru's overwhelming measures. Feeling some similar reactions return from the faces that lead over the nect.

"Thanks for the enlightened reaction.... If, as everyone thought, witchcraft is supposedly related to this noise, it is likely that the spearhead of the victim's consciousness will be directed towards Emilia Tan. I didn't want to think they were like that, either."

I know from what Subaru himself has actually seen in its eyes that it will not be a result in line with Subaru's expectations.

Emilia's origins are not even exceptional for those well-intentioned villagers, they are only neglected and naturally abominable bloodlines.

The indignation and rebellion against that distorted sense of discrimination cannot be exhausted no matter how much it is spoken of, but it does not mean that it can be withdrawn immediately on this occasion. Subaru temporarily forgot his frustration with them, which is deeply rooted in his chest, calming his mind with a long exhale,

"Bandits, do you want to unify around it? The men who were making noise about the Wang capital entered this way, and Mr. Krush's faction in alliance ascended to the aid knife. How about that?

"It's cliché, but it's not as hole-free as I'd say. The question is will Emilia and the people of the village be fooled by it..."

"In fact, with all this alignment and the presence of the preceding pedestrian troops, I think it's enough to distract us from the unnaturalness, huh? Besides, I'm not going to fool everyone. I know the right person around here."

In response to his confident Subaru attitude, Julius glanced at him and said, "Yes." On his behalf, skipping the question to Subaru's operation is:

"I know Emilia's critically nagging at last, but that's why I'm not sure what Subaru said earlier, sir?

"I don't know... What do you mean?

"I'm not going to have an inspiring reunion with Emilia. That's the part, yo, Subaru."

In this operation, the presence that relentlessly pokes Subaru's mind the most confusing part - it was Ferris.

He didn't hesitate for Subaru to mumble either, as he stuck his doubts.

"He also cooperated in the White Whale Crusade to conclude an alliance with Master Kursch. Plus now I'm taking reinforcements back to defeat the outer enemies that threaten the territory - even though this feels like some hero, Tan. I hear we broke up a terrible way, but I think it's going to be extra active with the stigma back. '

"Once again, that's all in line. You're retarded. You're active.... I don't even think I can salvage it if I'm not as good at it."

"Subaru, Feri says you should also look back on your actions a little objectively"

When Ferris is so blurred in his self-inflicted Subaru remarks, the will to agree with him is conveyed from all around him as well. On the other hand, delighted with those compassion, I remember my sobering stupidity during my separation from Emilia, and my self-derision has no time to subside.

That all that stupidity and rambling, how much handle you could have built up?

"There's no way I could do something that didn't. That's what I meant then."

A shallow self who behaved on his own and asked for the mind of a thoughtful person as he wanted it. It makes me want to look back now and turn away from its ugliness - but it's me too.

"That's why I really want to apologize for everything I did when I went home with my handles..."

"Can you do that?"

"If you know I'm here... no, if you find out I'll stay in the village and fight the outside enemy, then you're not the kind of kid who runs away with a lot of people. Ten, eighty-nine, stay together. It doesn't have to be that. It turns back on the way. That's what she is."

'But you're in a fight, aren't you? Still......'

"If it was a kid who could stroke his chest off saying he left his broken up opponent in a fight and blamed him for it... I wouldn't have let him in so much either"

The last failure was to fail to be vigilant against its perniciousness while being able to anticipate a retrograde attack by Petergius. And the fact that I met Emilia and the madman that I should have known I wasn't supposed to let her meet - those two things are huge.

With regard to the former, the tactics are becoming visible from the punching of some reasoning. Again, it's ironic that this is due to my last death.

And with regard to the latter,

"That the outside enemy is witchcraft and doesn't make himself realize it's after Emilia Tan. Being on your own edge to a crusader fighting an external enemy... that is, not being able to reward you with me. This is the sine qua non for keeping Emilia Tan off the battlefield. I'll tell you what."

"You mean you have to be so vigilant? If you're Emilia, I don't think you should pull your leg even if you join the crusade, yo? Even that Great Spirit has it... '

"Given Mr. Kursch's example, I think it would be best if Emilia Tan had a head start commander to earn his fame... let me drop him off this time. You can't let Emilia take the trials of witchcraft and the Bishop of the Great Crimes."

To Subaru's resolute statement, Ferris has a convincing attitude accompanied by a trick to shrug his shoulders. Take that, look around to see if you have any other questions, make sure no one will raise a voice of doubt and exhale in relief.

"You'd be more relieved to find out that the villagers' persuasion involves me and... the army at Mr. Krush's. I need your help around Ferris and Mr. Wilhelm."

I got it. I got it. I got it.

Listening to the two consents, Subaru pulls a white robe out of his luggage and sleeves through it that leaves him somewhat anxious about sleeves and length.

made larger against its original owner. It covers and conceals Subaru's body without any problems,

"The slightly scented smell of Emilia Tan boosts my motivation -!"

"Let's just say I didn't hear what you just said... but from what I've seen, that sounds like a robe with a much different technique"

"Let's hide something, because it's a special effect that's been protecting me from these past few days of emiliase deficiency. On sleepless nights, let me sneak this up on your face and help exude your stuffy feelings... hey, what the fuck, that side. You have no choice! As murky as I am about my favorite child's possessions, I would be on the road for anyone!

Subaru is outraged when he feels distanced by the dragon of the land of Julius who was running without heart or next door. to Subaru like that. Julius spilled a shuddering exhale, "So," he prefaced,

"Let's get back to it... what about that robe? The moment I wove my feathers, it seemed like your presence was blurred."

"Yeah, they knit everything for some sort of 'perception inhibition' technique. Roswar Handmade Convenient Goods... originally belonged to Emilia Tan. By chance, yes, it happens to be in my hands now, though. You didn't steal it, did you?

"Sooner or later when it comes to provenance, so... oh, you know what?"

In the middle of his words to Subaru's response, Julius pulls his jaw that the point has been made. I was uncomfortable with that trick as if my thoughts had been read, and Subaru makes that bad eye look even worse and looks sturdy. But the knight of the day had a cool face,

"I understand your loss again, something like that? Clearly, it's not rational.... opposite of Master Anastasia, you are."

"I'm going to get everything I want eventually, so I'd rather not have more greed than I do, though. Emilia, whatever your praise is, it's mine. Don't burn me!

To Subaru, who squeezes his reins, peels his teeth off and laughs, Julius spills a sigh that he doesn't know how many times it will already be, with a voice that no one can hear when he turns forward,

"Occasionally, I feel cursed to be a knight like I am now."

And so it spilled.

- Entering the territory of Mazers, the eradication of witchcraft, which is instantly a cracked place, has been the policy so far.

But this time, you can't bring a donkey with a witch first and inspire their vigilance. Because we have to go through the streets while maintaining as much secrecy as possible, through the forest roads into the villages, and persuade the villagers about the evacuation guides.

To be honest, it can be said that at this point it was a fatal development in the course of this operation to be ambushed by witches from the sidelines. For once, if we set things up with witchcraft, all the measures we have worked out for this time are better than running them into the water.

Fortunately, during the march of the territory, which came with the greatest vigilance of all time, the incident in which its innocent cross spear entered did not arise.

"Arriving safely... ooh, I'm giggling"

At the time of the arrival of the crusaders at the entrance to the village, the atmosphere of the village was already filled with considerable suspicious ghosts.

I should have flown quite a bit to the village and headed straight, but to see the crowd of dragon cars strapped to the edge of the village, the arrival of the pedestrians was something like yesterday night.

Given that the Subaru fought the white whales in the middle of the street and left after a break, it can also be taken for granted that the leading group of pedestrians, albeit bypassed, get a few hours of advantages. In other words:

"The blank parent book was already delivered to the Mansion later..."

Seeing it, there was great confusion in Emilia on the receiving side, and the person who would have seen the same writ refraining beside her,

"Following a pedestrian who brought in a blank parent book, now the appearance of an armed group… you don't seem to understand whose territory this is."

He greeted the Subaru, who entered the village slightly, with animosity as he laid his hands on his hips and looked up with a disgraceful face.

An adorable looking girl who cuts all her peach hair short and wraps her small body around her service clothes - although Subaru knows it's a trap that hides a sharp cut personality beneath its cat-tight adorability.

"So, what can I do for you people to go to this village? This noise... I don't think it has anything to do with the merchants who came suddenly in the middle of the night."

"I know there's a lot going on in the wrong place, but don't stare at me with such hostility. It's been a long time since we've been together, and you can just smile and tap on me, okay?

"Speak for yourself... that sounds familiar bullshit"

Subaru responds to the insurmountable gaze from the top of the patrash with a devious trick. and the girl in response to that reply - Ram raises his eyebrows as he notices something. staring seriously, she gazed at Subaru, who weaves a white robe,

"... Balus?

"That's right. Steady, seriously awesome robe. Even if I talk to someone I know, is it a level of suspicion and half-heartedness to take a closer look? It's a ghost."

Jump the hood back, reveal your face and Subaru leaks an exclamation exhale. Then he twists himself and descends from the ground dragon in a refreshing manner.

"In the meantime, let's talk about this situation."

Landing failure. Guru, a dull sound rang from his ankle and severe pain crushed his brain miso. I crouched on the spot, and as I became half crying,

"Ha... let's talk, let's talk...! What kind of thoughts do you have on this picture, let me explain that..."

"The best part is Balth. I heard they left you in the Wang capital because you were in a bad mood... but which side did you come back down?

"Really forgive me, you!? I can't argue with you, but I'm back to congratulate you on lowering this face! I didn't just come back."

The ankle pain also rose in a momentum to forget, and Subaru expressed his survival as he waved in front of the ram. That's how Subaru and Ram talk face-to-face,

- Hey, I'm at the head of that group.

"You're talking to Lam, aren't you, Subaru?

"Uh, it's Subaru -! You're back?

Until then, the villagers, who would have watched things move forward and left the negotiations to the Rams with an uneasy look, start pointing at this one and talking to each other.

It would be the result of a strange group of mysteries being elevated to 'a mysterious group led by a discerning person' to the emergence of Subaru.

"So, what brings back such a large number of people? If he's going to retaliate, Ram will have to fight for himself as a keeper."

"They think I'm such an ungrateful person!? You deserve to be scolded for something bad. So I can't believe I resented or stubbornly... well, I did."

"I knew it. I'd take Balth hostage and forcibly break through the mansion to make my way."

"It's early to conclude! And now you're not resentful or obstinate, so trust me!

While pulling out the little cane and holding down the ram that could really move to extremes this neck, Subaru turned his protruding palm upwards.

"There's no such thing as retaliation, and I didn't just mess with a large number of people. … Did you receive the parent document from the pedestrian?

"... if you can call that a parent book on a blank sheet, I got it. Though I took it as a lamb with a fulfilling meaning."

"Were you such a bloodthirsty person? Whatever it is, don't be aggressive, eat a little fish, refill calcium and calm down."

I grinned biting ram one way or another, and then explained that Subaru was a mistake when it came to blank parent books. disapproval, and so on. Ram nodded,

"So whatever the contents of the parent book are, you can believe it as a formality. If so, what was the original content?

"Of course, the original purpose of my stay in the King's capital - the formation of Emilia Tan and Mr. Krush - is not about the signing of an alliance."

With his nostrils inflated by the rum inquiry, grandiose Subaru shows with his arms a crusader lined up. As signaled by what Subaru did, there are two shadows coming forward from within that group.

Ferris and Wilhelm. And they lined up next to Subaru, and put in greetings against the ram with each thanksgiving,

"My name is Wilhelm Trias and I have been sent on this expedition in the name of His Excellency the Duke of Krush Karsten"

"Likewise, in Ferris, one of Master Kursch's knights. The leader of the group behind you is Grandpa Ville, and Ferri is the deputy leader? Yoo-hoo."

Light Ferris greetings everywhere to the solemn Wilhelm.

turned to contrasting greetings, Ram blinked uncommonly in a snotty manner for her,

"A polite greeting, painful. My name is Ram. We are here to serve as the chief samurai at the mansion of Uncle Roswar L. Mazers" border.

Immediately switching consciousness, pick the end of the skirt and bow carefully. Just looking at what's done here, I can see that one scale of education as a perfect maid can be questioned. Most importantly, she has a lot of absurdity in her ability to serve if she starts working.

"This time, it was nothing else that got the two of us and the others to come. I'm sure Lamb has noticed... he's lurking in the woods, reinforcements to get rid of the monsters."

"... where did Balth get that"

"It's a famous story, isn't it, Wang Du? He said he would support the half-elf, and he's eating total skan around. Borderline uncle's territory. - The bandits on sale have no more place to choose as temporary hideouts."

Subaru whispers and returns it with a good lie to Ram's words. In response to that Subaru, Ram narrows his eyes to his thoughts, and Ferris and Wilhelm, who were listening, change their facial wrinkles with each reaction. However,

"That's pre-construction"

"What?"

"Keep your voice down and don't be surprised and make your voice big, I don't want you to hear me around.... It's witchcraft in the woods. The aim is Emilia, and the villagers are going to kill us all."

"- Huh"

Close your face, whisper your voice and Subaru tells the truth to Ram.

Lamb faintly opened his eyes to the fact and cut his breath to clog his throat. And

"Hey, hey, hey, what's up? It's not the same story. Don't tell anyone, wasn't bandits going in the right direction?

Subaru shrugged his shoulder and shook his head, "Whoa," to Ferris, who interrupted in surprise at the sudden change of policy.

"You can't fool all the good things with such child deception. I was going to tell Ram the facts from the beginning. Without someone on the evacuation side who knows what's going on here, we won't be able to cope with the unforeseen."

"- You can trust her, right?

Wilhelm now asks Subaru with a sharp glance at the sincerity of the exposure. Subaru received the glance of that sword ghost head-on, nodding confidently, "Oh,"

"There's no better place than Ram to go through this way. Whatever, Emilia's in trouble if we don't get a good mouth-to-mouth match... that's against Roswar with equals. You wouldn't be wrong about that, would you?

With things to try and a provocative grin, Subaru looks back at the ram. Ram laid one eye on that Subaru word, and when he broke his lips small,

"What's the matter, Balth? You've got a lot of smart heads turning in a while."

"I learned by my body that if I stopped thinking, I wouldn't catch a busy eye. So, in fact, the answer is,"

When Subaru waved his finger at the tip of his lifted hand, the ram spilled a small exhale for a long time, then slowly shook his neck sideways, as he had noticed.

"- If that is in Roswar's interest, Lamb will do anything and cooperate with everything. Satisfied with this answer? Balus."

"Oh, it's just that. You're a disciple, Ram."

Ram accepts the covenant to deceive the Temporary Lord for the Lord who sincerely serves. Subaru laughed at her like a nasty, nasty kid who set up a prank.

"I've always thought so, but Balth is apparently a real idiot"

- This is Ram's first statement after he gave a washed-up overview of the operation and finished hearing it.

While she pinched the question between them, she showed understanding and endorsement after hearing Subaru's plan to the end, adding at the end of the day what she now says.

"Don't be so praiseworthy."

"Say it. … really, don't tell Emilia anything"

"Oh, my God! And he always pulled my untrained. I'm fine, I'm fine, no problem! Instead, it doesn't super burn in situations like saving your precious little girl's pinch unwittingly?

Ram gives up exhaling at Subaru who doesn't break his mild demeanor only. Then she looked at Wilhelm and Ferris,

"With our servant apprentice, I'll guess how hard you work."

"A little bit of sudden behavior, words, deeds and emotional expressions stand out, but Lord Subaru is a man of sight. At this age, there's a lot to be taught."

"Ferri is as offensive as Grandpa Ville, so why don't you honestly take Ram's word for it? Well, I guess it got a little better."

Wilhelm's admiration and Ferris' slight dere. to the reaction from the two. Ram sees Subaru,

"Looks like you got it a lot better."

"You, my rating is unusually low, right? When it comes to legitimacy, it's legit, but it's recessed."

That separates me into a conversation with Ram.

When she accepts that there is no objection to Subaru's measures, the concern almost disappears with this. The only problem I have left is...

"It's been a while, face to face. Whatever, but you can listen to me, guys!

Proceeding into the centre of the village, Subaru gathers his gaze as he waves loudly.

The uncomfortable pedestrians, the villagers full of leftovers and anxious, face the crusaders who are ordered to wait, watch Subaru at the same time.

Even though it is what we aim for, tension increases when the gaze from all of us gathers together in this way. Subaru pushed the pressure he felt, somehow with a sense of purpose, before creating a laugh,

"In the meantime, this noise is my fault. Seems like it was getting a little hard to talk to all kinds of places. I just want to make some good adjustments... okay?

Raise your fingers and put them up, Subaru asks everyone.

Shin, and silence are the only things that come back to that inquiry, and the feeling of leaving me is terrible.

Spiritually shredded that this is the only no-reaction from a large crowd on the call. I would like to apologize even more to the teacher who was a lot cruel about sleeping during HR in the original world.

Where Subaru was immersed in such a nostalgia,

- Let me talk to you.

And as I said, there was one person who stepped out toward Subaru.

Whoever it is, it emerged from the villagers. It is a familiar and characteristic grey-haired figure, commonly known as' Muraosa ', an ordinary old man unrelated to the village chief position.

Only Pierce is representative, Mulaosa combed that splendid jaw beard with her fingers,

"I don't know the situation, I was just anxious. It explains it... if it's also the village's benefactor, it can't be unheard of"

"Village benefactor, over. I'm not..."

"That's too humble, Master Subaru. What would have happened if Master Subaru hadn't gone into the woods that night and brought the children. After that, no one in the village doesn't know."

Further progressing kernel pruning youth block Subaru from responding negatively to Mulaosa's words. belonging to the Youth League. He inserted his finger into his short hair and scratched it abusively,

"Everyone listens to you because you don't seem anxious. As much as Roswar did for me, he took care of Subaru."

"Don't spot my little rabbit mind that looks anxious or tough....... glad, but seriously, it stinks! I made you a face. You look like an idiot!

Being exposed to unexpected warm words, Subaru holds his head overwhelmed by the feeling that he is about to turn red to his ears. Then I often go around on the spot and cool down. In the meantime, the villagers gather around Subaru in a listening position.

nature, the shape of a circle as it did during radio gymnastics,

"Ooh, I'll do anything collective. I just want to keep up the momentum and get into some long time radio gymnastics, but I don't have time to fill it up."

The amount of gaze is roughly the same as earlier, but the gaze that can be directed from them is familiar.

It behaves affectionately, like the very character of Subaru's knowing them, fills their hearts with joyful emotions. Last time, I felt Subaru touched their negative side here, and I was anxious to be able to turn this explanatory venue around successfully.

"If there's a good part, there's a bad part. You're human, of course."

Whimpering small, Subaru closed his eyes and forgot by biting his teeth about his anxiety until then. Then you regain your usual invincible and impolite lad face and step on the spot,

"Genjama, may I have your ear for a moment and quietly. It's a little shocking to everyone who lived in peace and relaxation, but please just calm down and listen. Actually..."

- Along the way, while pinching a small joke, Subaru conveys the disguised information of "The Arrival of Bandits" to the villagers. He then adjusted the volume of his voice so that the pedestrians could hear him, but without letting him put in any questionable questions, he cut to the end.

"That's why they let me move on my own in the absence of the lord. The crusader who came to me was an elite unit of the King's Capital Fingerfold, besides belonging to the Duke family! Don't worry, I'm a muscled professional... how about that?

He pushes and sells peace of mind like a sales talk in a subtle narrative, tilting his neck at the end to get a reaction. I intended to be optimistic so as not to stir up anxiety as much as I could, but I still can't hide the upset of the villagers just because things are going on.

"Even if they say that all of a sudden, I have to take care of my livestock..."

"There is also care for the fields. I don't think we can finish the conversation in the direction of not leaving the village."

"If this is all we have, can't we even get the bandits out if we consolidate the village's defenses?

And I begin to hear opinions in this form.

It is difficult to persuade them all because there are a few elements to snort at. somehow put it together with reason, and Subaru opened his mouth, but

"I know you're making a mistake, but I'm not giving you guys a choice."

"Hey."

Rum cuts through Subaru, who tries to blur and somehow find a compromise, and cuts in with a cold enough voice to seem thin.

As the villagers raised their faces ghoulishly, she snorted small as she put her arms together,

"Though I seem to feel for the proposal because Balth is talking, this is a more superior thought - Lord, Lord's command that Lord Roswar's intentions work. Your safety, your lives, they're all second to none. Follow the name of Lord Roswar."

"You don't say that the way you do! I know you're a tight character, but I can't hear you right here. Even these people have a life..."

"It's the same thing Balls is not aware of."

Ram shoots a sharp glance at Subaru trying to recruit him. Don't be afraid of it, but if you don't measure your intentions and frown,

"On this occasion, only Barus, who was entrusted with negotiating in the King's capital, can be named the name of Lord Roswar. Do your duty to the people in the name of your lord."

"Duty..."

"Lords are obliged to preserve the lives and peace of their inhabitants. If it's the Lord's duty to evacuate you to keep you safe, it's the Lord's duty to protect you from the harm that comes with it."

I say it out loud, and the ram just looks up at Subaru and points at his lips, not letting him say it as if it were this far. In that content of her attitude and dialogue, Subaru said, "Ugh!," he scratched his head and shook his neck with great respect,

"You're really hard to understand. What is it? Or am I just too low a level of reading mindset to talk to you about? Super annoying."

"It's out-of-heart that you think it's easy to understand rum. All of the rum is dedicated to Master Roswar. I don't even want Balls to understand."

An awesome reaction and an out-of-the-box remark about the Lord. When I cut just that part, it still seems to me that Lem and I are sisters in a part other than appearance.

and Subaru coughs up and turns back to the villagers as his interaction with Rem is pointlessly remembered and about to blush.

Subaru nodded at them, seemingly anxious for the two of them who started arguing in front of him.

"Uh, sorry about the lamb's bad way of saying it. But my opinion is the same. Asking everyone to evacuate... is a decision. I don't want to take orders or anything like that, but it's dangerous to stay here and be safe. It's my opinion that the effort to avoid risk should be broken."

――――

"Of course, I get everyone's point. You can't take care of your livestock, take care of your fields, or get ready to say you were suddenly told to go out. So the coverage around there... it's not like I have authority, but there's only one head of mine that can be lowered, so I'm going to ask this head down and Roswar to do it. I'll do my best not to harm everyone."

As he talks, Subaru realizes once again the short distance within his reach.

With a pitiful feeling of it, he nevertheless knelt on the spot so that everyone could see him, deciding to show only sincerity firmly.

The twist widens and the ram also opens its eyes. Only faces like Wilhelm and Ferris, who were holding back, watched over Subaru's that because they had no choice.

"- Please, guys, I know you have a lot to say, but I want you to swallow it. One thing on top of that, let us protect everyone."

――――

"Please. That's why I'm back."

The silent villagers remain silent as if stuck in their throats.

That should be it too - because Subaru, where he is a benefactor to them, rubs his own forehead on the ground and begs him to 'let me protect him'.

This made my position clear.

A sight that doesn't make sense from the side, but it does look like Subaru.

"- Oh, I can't help it, Master Subaru."

I heard someone say that to erupt.

skin it, the urge for laughter propagates around as it is,

"I can't help but be told to work so hard to protect me"

"Oh no. I haven't had a hot chest in a while."

"Master Subaru is a troubled man."

Approximately, Subaru looks up.

The dazzling sun in the morning burns Subaru's eyes from beyond the hedge of man, and his sight stains white only for a moment. If you block it with a beard of your hand and turn your eyes to the world of birth,

"... thanks, guys"

"- That's our dialogue, Master Subaru."

Surrounded by a troubled smile, Subaru laughed with a crying face.

- Thus, the villagers' persuasion gave a satisfactory solution by the world's strangest flow of discourse that the safe side bows its head to the protected side.

Instructs the pedestrians to give a similar explanation in the 'Bandit' scenario and to divide them into two hands: the sanctuary and the king's capital for evacuation. We just had to allocate dragon cars and villagers and let each one of them get in and start moving.

"Just one thing, I need a favor."

And Subaru raised his hand and caught the attention of the villagers.

Percentage, although earlier discussions have been cleared up in full circles, in the wake of their gaze Subaru hesitates to speak of the next proposal.

Honestly, because it's the part of me that thinks it's a subtlety whether it's a necessary suggestion or not. However, I would like to put this proposal through for two reasons. It's...

"Emilia in the Mansion...... I want someone on board with the half-elf child"

To Subaru's suggestion, the buzz until then quiets in an instant.

Again, in the village, where awkward silence begins to fall, Subaru painstakingly avoids putting discouragement such as "I knew it" on his face.

"We got a touch in the King's Capital, and I think we all know the story of the King's election. Lord Roswar… is a candidate's supporter, and his supporter is the child of the half-elf."

――――

"I know we're all anxious. It is also well known that there are various parts that cannot be digested. But I want to ask for it on top of that. Don't let her get in the dragon car alone."

I'm not sure my voice had any anxiety or grief on it.

Listening to Subaru's words, the villagers get an imaginary look when they look at each other. However, I can't even think that you're just considering it or that it's unfolding differently than before.

Most of all, he felt that it was not an atmosphere in which he could expect a positive response, and Subaru put his hand up to cut him off as "bad" early on,

"- Petra?

Little palms were pointing up faster than Subaru raised his hand to stop it.

Surprised, when Subaru stared at the owner of that hand, she swelled its red cheeks and stared at the adults around her.

"Why aren't you guys listening to me? Subaru's in so much trouble, he's begging you with a crying face. Why aren't you trying to help me?

That was a terribly honest and decorative word, which is why it was a mind deciding word.

Without any clutter on the part of the adults, it's the most intense shot in the world that only children can forgive.

Adults face more guilt than they did earlier, and they try to find words to fool the girl...

"Hey in the mansion, you're always wearing white, aren't you? When I was in Lazy Otaiso, he brought me a hanko."

"Mm-hmm...! Yes, that's right. It's Hanko's sister."

Looking back, Subaru accidentally breaks his mouth remembering the days when it was peaceful.

When I was at peace and just enjoying my daily routine. Every morning it was routine to go down to the village with Emilia, do radio gymnastics with the villagers and push the imo judgment carved by Subaru.

Yes, memories of happy days - beside those days, there was also her appearance.

Adults also begin to realize what Petra means by words, whether the figure they think was in the corner of their memory. And in the gaps where that hesitation stopped their mouths, the children around Petra also began to raise their hands one after the other.

"Me too! Come with me!" "If Petra says she's going to ride, she's going to have to start without me." "Let her go, I'm going to go with Petra." "Subaru's going to cry." "That's good!

Straw and noisy children, Petra smiles proudly at its center.

Doya face, that look too cute, Subaru put his hand on his chest feeling like he had been saved.

"Can I ask for it? She's strong, mean and mean, but I'm worried someone's gonna have to look at her because of the rush."

"I have no choice, I'll watch you instead of Subaru"

Well, and a soothing exhale leaked out of Subaru's mouth.

Then Subaru gives her a promise. As she walks under Petra, she gives her pinky finger forward. Laughing at the confused face girl,

"This way, we give each other little fingers and we catch each other. So, hanging up while singing" Finger-cut "is my way of exchanging local naughty promises. Can you do it?"

"Ya, do it."

A more impetuous reply returns than I thought, and Subaru intertwines his fingers with the girl when he laughs "I need to be like that". Then slowly teach the song to the confused Petra,

"Finger-cutting"

"If you're lying, a thousand needles."

"- I cut my finger off!

With each other's fingers apart, promises are made - contracts are exchanged.

Petra made a promise to Subaru that she would never leave Emilia alone, and Subaru promised to keep them and the village safe.

- Only this promise, this time, will never, ever be broken.

"Now let's not worry about hindsight. Let's do it, guys!

Stick your fist up, and when Subaru raised his voice, everyone on the spot thrust their fists up. Keep your voice high and close to cheering,

"- Ah! It's a covert operation, so everybody be quiet, be quiet!

And then I panicked and all of them closed their mouths, but it didn't hurt.

- For the record.

"Eh heh..."

Subaru, who issued the decree, was stroking the girl's head with the opposite hand as he gripped it.

No one had noticed that the girl's cheeks were dyed red and she was staring Subaru in horrible, hot eyes, except for the knight with cat ears and the maid with peach hair.
