Reincarnation Monarch
Episode 731: The Tongue
"But it's Lombard Schneider. Isn't it inexorable that you can't speak up?
I spoke to Lombardo so that Signus would distract me from the conversation.
Then Lombardo didn't move at all and didn't even nod, just saying he was leaving all the responses to Chester.
As a result, Signus had no choice but to return to Chester.
"... Schneider apparently trusts you, doesn't he?
Shester tilted his neck gently, while keeping a close eye on the signal.
"Really? So what the hell is your lord trying to say?
"Are you uncomfortable worrying about the Lord's superiors?
"It's not. I don't think you're really worried about the deputy secretary. I'm just telling you to show me the bottom of your belly."
"This is out-of-heart. I'm worried about Lombardo Schneider."
"I don't think so."
Then Signus' eyes shimmered.
"What makes you think that?
Then Shester's eyes glowed brilliantly this time.
"My eyes aren't laughing."
Shester ran out with a slight grin.
Then again, Signus raised his face and laughed.
And when I wondered if the high laughter had lasted for a while, suddenly the laughter stopped.
And Signus lowered his face most of all.
Then there was Signus' face with a thin, laughing face with a different face with a rather bent corner of his mouth.
"... your eyes aren't laughing... never mind. My eyes haven't laughed in decades, have they?
Then Shester narrowed her eyes and glanced at Signus' face.
"You say you haven't laughed in decades. Then why are you alive? What's so funny about life like that?
Then Signus further distorted the corner of his mouth and pulled and laughed.
"What do you know? You and I will never understand what my life is all about."
"I don't even want to understand. I don't even want to know what it's like to die like you."
"... Hmm. Sounds like you're good at reducing your mouth, huh? Helmut Shester."
Then Chester laughed at his mouth.
"Sort of. Because my tongue is one of the weapons that works for me."
Then Signus raised the corner of his mouth the same way and smiled.
"I liked it. The Lord's tongue, quite interesting. I like it, young man."
"Right. I don't think our position will change where your lord likes it, but maybe it's better than saying you don't like it."
Then Signus just looked up and laughed a lot.
Shester observed the condition crumbly and stared narrowly at the bottom of Signus's heart in an attempt to deduce.
