Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit

"So the sermon to me begins?

Listening to Lance's query, I get hacked. Yes, it was. Not if you are enjoying good food. I had him come to talk to me.

The Marquis wrinkles between his eyebrows, his lips tied together all the time, arms together.

The same goes for Lieselotte.

When I saw these places, I thought they were parents and children.

Forget that.

In the future, Lance won't get involved, so we need to talk.

This betrothal was a tragedy triggered by Lance's words and actions going diagonally.

But if we trace the original, it doesn't mean he's unilaterally bad.

I was busy with Lance, too.

I managed to make time and we could talk, but I didn't.

So there's only one word to say.

"Lance, I'm sorry"

"Huh?"

"I, I didn't think about you at all"

……

"Being busy is an excuse. I didn't see you as a family member."

I don't know why.

I must have had an inferior feeling about the lack of magic.

"The family is subtle, doesn't look good, and besides, I can't use magic. You were thinking I couldn't possibly connect with a good Lance."

……

"I was other HR. The engagement to Lance."

Lance is just staring at me as abominable. Have I made myself clear?

But this is what I have in me, an honest feeling.

"He responded badly to me and told me that in Wangdu he was a wealthy bumbling knight."

"Well, that's..."

"Can I have a word?

Here, Lizelotte pinches his mouth.

"Zara Evahardt, Mel's fiancée, was originally a civilian. I was adopted by a nobleman to marry Mel."

"Oh, did you?

"Definitely"

It was the Marquis who replied. To the words, Lance said nothing back.

I mean, at some point, I'm Mr. Zara's fiancée. Did the Marquis know because he did not pinch his mouth to Lieselotte's claim?

I'm curious, but I'll see you later. Now it's time to solve the problem with Lance.

"When I was in the Forest of Fore Elves, I lived for my family, thinking only of my family."

Do chores every day, go out to collect herbs, and cook. Take care of your sister (today) or help your parents. If you did that, your day would be over in no time.

I had absolutely no time for myself.

"Living with my family was everything to me. But the King's capital lived differently."

I'm pretty sure I've come to make some money for my family, but my life here has basically spared me thinking about myself and others.

"I joined the Knights and I had company, and I woke up conscious and ready as a knight, and then I met a man (one) who cared about me"

Coming to Wang Du, my life has changed dramatically.

The Forest Village of Folle Elf found out how closed life was to the idea.

"I can't live in Fore Elf's thoughts anymore. Even Lance, whose thoughts are rooted in Fore Elf, can't get married. So sorry."

Deep down, head down. I can't see Lance's face.

I 'm-- I'm on my own. Because I didn't intend to go back to the Forest of Fore Elves, even if I found out that the divorce was a mistake.

Now I just had to keep my head down.

"Hey, Mel. Keep your head up."

……

"Raise it. In that state, you think we can talk properly?

"... excuse me"

Heads up, look at Lance.

I thought you were angry, and you looked surprisingly calm.

"I've seen you as special ever since you were heard of as my fiancée."

"Yes."

"But I didn't really know what kind of woman you were. So I kept speaking up."

"Yes."

But I couldn't make time to talk to Lance. No, I guess I didn't make it.

"I guess I don't know how ashamed I am that you went to King's Capital after I told you to break my engagement"

"Excuse me."

"After that, I got a response from your parents that they were going to offer to break their engagement, and you weren't there to withdraw it..."

I'll be back in a while. After that, he thought I should tell him to withdraw his engagement.

"But well, no matter how long you wait, you're not coming home. That's why I came to King's Landing."

And that's why we made a scene in front of the Knights gate.

"Something came out of a flash-faced self-proclaimed fiancée or something, and I thought you weren't kidding. But now that I've listened to you, I've changed my mind. You're on your own now. Never mind you again."

"Lance......"

"I don't care about you, and the revocation of my engagement is because it hurt my self-esteem."

I can't find the words to speak to Lance.

All this time, I thought he was the arrogant, nasty one. But Lance listened to me.

It must have been a mistake and resulted in a breakdown of the engagement.

"So, if you want to live free, I'll live free too"

That's what Lance showed me was a permit to join the Knights.

"Ha!? Lance, you really joined the Knights!?

"Oh. The guy who can use magic is instant combat or something."

……

It's as good as I let it in. There's no way Lance, a brilliant wizard, can't get in.

"From now on, it's between other people, but don't ignore them when you meet them in the hallway."

"... ha"

I look up to the ceiling wondering how this happened.

Life is, I thought, really annoying.

◇ ◇ ◇

The brilliant festivities of the social period were turned too far.

The first ball seemed too gorgeous and blinding.

Lieselotte is a hottie, and I was hiding behind the Marquis, so I never got to be heard out.

Zara was cautious, so she didn't seem to be able to participate. I would have liked to see you in SS attire. Well, with one more piece of fun next year.

The next day, when I went to work, he turned his gaze on me like everyone else had been there.

"That, ladies and gentlemen, is something wrong?

"Hey, Squirrel Health Soldier!

"Hmm?

I heard voices I couldn't hear in the second unit, so I look back in horror.

There he was, Lance, dressed in a uniform of a young man - the Knights - with silver hair in one piece and a neat face in his pointed ears.

Lance, the magician, was the new man after Zara and Lieselotte fell out.

I screamed reflexively.

"How did this happen!!

To my mourning, Amelia returned the missing squeal between 'Que ~ ~ …'.
