Sanzen no Souru Supina

■ Night 55: Return home

"Your Highness! Askariya, my lord!

Athelui hugged Aska, who kicked him back into the water where he was smiling like a mirror.

"Thank you, Athelui. The voice you call helped me."

The two embrace each other as if they were lovers (no, I'm a lover), and they interact with each other deeply.

"My reasoning was right. After all, observation is important."

It's Darieri who looks at both of them seriously and says it.

"Right, your proposal? Thanks again for your help."

Aska laughed as she unraveled and strained her body with dark hair dripping water while diving into the fountain.

The color is also returning to the lips, which were becoming purple because of their long diving time.

Darieri knelt down and drooled her head.

"Courtesy, etc. I just did what I could on this occasion. It was the merits of Lord Athelui who actually succeeded in exercising his abilities and recalling His Highness. But if you want me to reward you, please, not the hardware."

Aska responded with a different kind of grin than earlier to Darieri's lack of excellence in lifting Athelui's accomplishments and bringing them into the reward story without pulling out in spite of his modesty.

There is an eagle mood to listen to some impotence in the joy of survival and the sense of accomplishment that brought back important information.

"What, that it's better not to be gold? The man who used to whisper that no matter how much money was available for his quest for intellectual curiosity won."

Asuka thought that other than gold was generally a prerequisite when desiring something worth more than gold, but that it was okay.

Darieri also spread a grin at the words.

Return your gaze to Aska.

"Yes, first of all, because we are now seeing something better than that."

"What's better than gold and silver treasure in front of you now?

"It's who you are."

"Hmm?"

It was Athelui who reacted as quickly as possible.

A totally unadulterated kick hit Darieri from the side.

A big man blows up, makes a flashy water noise and sinks into the fountain.

"Athelui, what's up?! What's going on?!

"Your Highness! Hurry this way! If you're naked now, Ra!

"Oh, oh, oh, yeah. You mean that!

"The undelivered, the undelivered! A serious stare at His Highness naked deserves a capital punishment! Your Highness, hurry up! Ashley is the only one who loves you besides me!

Aska smiled with a broken face at Athelui, who was going to let her undressed jacket come together in a hurry.

"I did, you did. I must have been a" sooty pong "right now."

"Your Highness! No more! It's not every laugh!

Athelui lifts her eyebrows crisply to Aska, who laughs at her teasing.

Then there was a water sound, and the master (Maestro) once showed signs of a return.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Askariya! You, you are beautiful! Make sure you put that figure on the canvas (Kanvas)!

"Can you do that? Huh!

What the hell kind of confusion would happen if the naked woman painting of Askariya (...), who is supposed to be a prince, could be told to future generations?

Athelui decided at this time that she had to stop him.

Athelui snorts roughly and takes Aska's hand as she sees and drives down another kick at Darieri, who is crawling up from the fountain.

Come this way, and lead us back to earth from the depths of the temple.

"Well, don't rush that, Athelui. I have wear and tear, too. Besides, haven't you stayed up much longer? I thought I was on the other side for only a few moments... but it wasn't even noon that I dived, was it?

Athelui turned for a moment to Aska's words, breathless but not subdued, then sighed.

"What's up?"

"It was still just what I thought. The deepest part of this temple, to which His Highness was sent, was a place with a different flow of time than the outside world. It's been a few days since His Highness tried to dive."

"What..."

Aska can only be surprised at this.

"Before Aram Ra could descend into our land, let us come out in shayturn anecdotes such as the demon god (Jin), who had bounced through the Alkatian highlands and more southern desert areas. It was in that place that His Highness entered the passage of time in isolation from the human world and the inhuman demons that allowed it."

"Right. Maybe it is. Asuko may indeed have been a place outside human reason."

Aska remembered the strange space she had put herself in until earlier.

"I did wonder what would happen on my return. Though, Athelui, the place I went to was never uncomfortable or dangerous... it wasn't that kind of place. Instead, I feel like I've gained an irreplaceable sense of self."

"The Legion... Our Sand Lion Brigade has been waiting for Your Highness to return late."

To the monarch who speaks of memories, Athelui said on behalf of his subordinate, who was awaiting his return.

My thoughts on Aska, which I couldn't even hide, seeped in there.

I'm not Aska who doesn't realize that.

"I'm sorry. You put a lot of effort into it."

"No. We only follow what His Highness can accomplish. Besides... it looks sunny somewhere. He came back with something to gain."

The side of Athelui, who turned around slightly, was laughing, but his eyes had tears.

I'd like to push you down on this occasion and tell you love, Aska, but if they say the legions are waiting for you to return, so be it.

"It was an interesting experience."

"What's yours?

"Is this it? Sooner or later. No, there are things that need to be prioritized over that. Athelui, Ashley and the others must be contacted immediately. It's not a good idea to read, considering our enemies' hands. Fly a horse back into formation and use a falcon, or capture a raptor in this forest? In any case, it's an emergency."

Aska's footsteps, as I say, are getting faster and faster.

By the time we got back to the ground, it was Aska who pulled Athelui's hand.

"But first, have a meal. Your appearance is too divine...... too eye poison!

By the time Aska, who followed Athelui's claim, had finished dressing, Darieri had also crawled to the ground.

There was just no third kick, but Athelui's words are spicy.

"Come on, master (maestro), get your degree in order. How late will you stand here at the Pay Dawn!

After silently killing Darieri, even if he was wet, Athelui began to tarnish the camp.

"Your Highness, please keep something lightly packed in your stomach. I hope this is the end of the serpent story...... I can't ask about the outside world from here. Even though it's close, let's take a few hours to get to self-defense. Because in the meantime, there is no ambush. If it's an unexpected encounter, I can only ask His Highness to help me first."

"makahee (...) and oh hee (...)"

I don't need to be told.

Aska replied as she dipped the flat bread in the rest of the stew for dinner and cheeked.

It would be good if the body tired like after a long bath, the saltiness of the stew with the addition of hard cheese and a few beans to the dried sheep meat.

But I still had no idea that Athelui's worries would be real at this time, as one of the three of them.
