Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Episode 76: His Hand Number

"By the way."

Mr. Dearless spoke to me without leaving the room immediately.

"Can I call you Crohiko?

"You can call me whatever you want."

"So Krohiko... you seem to have a lot of sister to take care of."

Ha, and laugh bitterly.

"Maybe I'm the one looking after you, though."

"That's humble."

"I'm trying to make it look that way."

Decent, Mr. Dearless.

And he smiled.

"I see, is that the kind of man"

"Er, yes... this is the kind of guy"

"It was something that Cecily, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, was kind of different from usual... yes, it felt like something was ripped off. So I asked the people at home. I was wondering if something was wrong. Then your name came up."

Mr Deirès said as he put the chair back.

"That's a complicated daughter...... she must have grown up like that because she set an example to me. But that's not who I was. She is an active child with immediate blood on her head. But there was also my father's policy and I was obsessed with a strange sense of duty. As a result, I grew up with a snoring daughter and I was afraid..."

I see.

Mr. Cecily's current personality - rather than being outside - was it something that formed your brother into an example?

Then it is also possible to snort that the methods and ways of speaking are slightly similar.

I just have something to worry about.

"Um... if you knew that, wasn't there as much you could do to Mr. Cecily?

I also thought it was a wide-mouthed question, but if I knew that, couldn't I do something about it before I brought in all that distress?

Strong questions outweighed my hesitations.

"What would you do?

Mr. Dearless asked back.

"What do you think, say?

"If you crossed that opponent by letting the person you're trying to cross do everything for you...... are you happy?

"Um, I think it's the end of the line."

I don't know if I'd let it go until I held it that far.

Besides, I think the argument has been subtly skewed.

"Besides, I'm never a kind person - unlike you."

"Huh?"

Mr. Dearless's grin switches to something gorgeous.

"Whatever it is, Cecily seems to have special feelings for you. I'm a strange sister, thank you very much."

"Ha, ha"

and so,

"Hey, let's go home, belly black fox"

It was the captain of the regiment who walked out the door.

"Forbidden, you can gently relay what this man has to say. Your personality will be infected and your personality will be worse."

"Listening is a bad hobby..."

Mr. Deirès stares at the leader with his jitsu eyes.

"Are you referring to me as a belly black fox?

"Ah?"

The captain looked indoors with a stern face.

"Who else is there?

"Come on."

Sieve, and shake your fists with remorse, Mr. Dearless.

"That's our captain... you just have to call yourself a twister, right? You'd think Crohiko was twisted, too, wouldn't you?

"Oh, even if you ask me to consent..."

"Sama, the next Knights of the Holy Trees, is no less of a twist. Hey, Dearless?

I said it and the captain pulled his face through the door.

Footsteps keep away.

Looks like he's gone this time.

"Damn, that guy."

Flashy Mr. Dearless.

And he looked softly at Mr. Makina.

"It's just that the captain said oh earlier... if he were you now, he might serve as the opponent of the Four Homicides, right?

"Maybe..."

Mr. Machina, who was having a little bit of leftover tea, replied.

"He's still getting stronger. In time, he, if he had a real sense that his power would reach the Four Felonies, would instead be leaving the Knights and even embarking on a journey in search of the Four Felonies. So now I'm getting ready to put me in the next regiment leader..."

- I want to kill the Four Felonies more than anyone else with my personal vengeance, because I am the only one.

I was reminded of the captain's face then.

"That Knights of the Holy Tree seems to have changed a lot since he became head of the regiment, too. The Holy Site offense is more aggressive than when Chris Renowsphere was there, and the sanctuary rating began to weigh in on merit rather than family or race. The morale of the members is also maintained at a high level… I hear it's all been a change since he became head of the regiment"

"Oh, you're a man of sight and responsibility, he"

Do you also think about the Knights properly after you left?

"But... whether I stay in the Knights of the Holy Tree without Sogt Sigmsos, that's a subtle thing though"

Mr. Dearless smiles faintly.

"There's nothing more boring than a life without a goal."

Is there anything more boring than a life without a goal?

I felt somewhat sympathetic to that word.

"That's why...... because I look forward to the day Sagara Crohiko and Currier Verstein join the group. Think about joining the group, right?

Mr. Dearless once again made us laugh at the leopard's expression.

"Hey, it's time to go. You'll get hit again...... sorry, for a long time. Dean, I think we'll have a report on the Holy Monument Survey from the team sometime."

"Yeah, nice to meet you"

"Now if you'll excuse me. Good luck today."

Mr. Deirès left the room refreshingly.

Incidentally, hearings with giants and those who fought small species were also planned by the Knights of the Holy Tree, who were supposed to be currently investigating the school's sacred ruins.

But when Cecily summed up the giant case in a reportable form, and submitted it to the Knights of the Holy Tree through her brother, Mr. Dearless, it was decided that the hearing was unnecessary?

That's Mr. Cecily.

There is no such thing, or something.

"Looks like you're done listening."

Mr. Currier can float his hips off the chair.

"May I be excused here, too, today?

Ask Mr. Makina, Mr. Currier.

Yes, it is.

Mr. Currier, I've been softening since the captain left.

It didn't feel like much of Mr. Dearless's story was in my head either.

The sky above, I mean.

"Um, Mr. Currier"

And I called.

That's right.

The problem has not yet been solved because it is avoided.

"Um, I'm coming with you today... how about some tea in the dining room?

"Hmm... now?"

Mr. Currier shows a slightly roundabout trick.

"I'm sorry, I have an appointment today."

"Promise? Could that be..."

"... with Cecily"

Or, after all, Mr. Cecily......

You got a higher priority than me?

No.

Right......

Compared to Cecily, I...

I'm sorry, Crohiko.

Mr. Currier rushed out of the room.

I stuck my hands on the floor and was disappointed.

What a shock.

Somehow.

Somehow.

I thought you'd be okay if I asked you out.

but somehow they apologized with an awkward look......

Ugh.

Did I do something wrong?

No, seriously, is Mr. Currier a love affair with Mr. Cecily...?

"Are you okay?"

Mr. Makina, sitting in the chair, called out to care for me.

I looked up.

"Mr. Makina..."

"Um, I was just about to."

"You mean earlier?

"For once, I'd appreciate it... oh, that's how you say it"

"Oh how?

... Oh, you mean the Four Violent Disasters.

"What are you saying about the smell of water? Me and Mr. Makina, right? Don't worry about me. Mr. Makina feels like, bubba, she's done it! You just have to order me."

Mr. Makina loosens his expression by turning his eyebrows into eight letters.

"You're a strange place to split up, aren't you? Really...... someone who looks simple and doesn't know"

"I don't know what to say about your sister..."

That's what Mr. Makina gave a split look to,

"No, I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you. I should have told you."

I said.

"Out of the blue, maybe I didn't like it when you thought I was using it for revenge... well, it's no different that I'm using it."

What was on that little face was some lonely, frivolous grin.

"I mean, she's a coward, I am."

"That's not true. Instead, I... I think it's amazing that you're thinking about your country without being swept away by emotions."

Maybe I only see things around me.

"Not really. You still cried for three days and three nights when you found out about my sister's death?

"Really?

"Oh, this is a story only the people at home know, so keep it a secret from the others, okay?

"Yes... but Mr. Makina..."

"Surprise?"

"... from the statue of Mr. Makina I know"

"I mean, you still don't know me."

Hmm.

They cut back on me like I was an adult.

By the way, I had to weigh myself the question of how old I was at the time.

I don't have the courage to dare step through the mines I see.

"Whatever it is, I'm still not thinking about the Four Homicides. First of all, we need to get the curse together, because it's a story since you decided you could use them and possibly beat the Four Felonies on top of it. Of course, we're going to gather as many people as we can to fight the Four Homicides. Well, that's why... for now, enjoy your school life."

"Okay."

Four felonies?

I thought he was worthy of being an opponent to cross to beat Hibigami... but he seemed more proud of his unsprickly strength than I thought.

Hmm.

Just because Hibigami says, "Maybe I'm stronger than I am," it's unlikely that the Four Homicides will go a long way.

Do you feel like you're going to think of other ways to get stronger while waiting for the curse document to gather now?

As I continue my archery with Mr. Currier... what do you think? Can we not manage to get Chief Sochute to do the archery?

How dare he be so named out of Hibigami's mouth, and someone who has actually fought the Four Homicides.

I feel I could be extraordinarily strong if I could get that guy to put on an archery.

The question is if that's possible.

Before that.

I have a more serious problem right now.

That's right.

I'm talking about Mr. Currier.

"Mr. Makina, by the way"

"Hmm?"

"I need to come in and talk to you."

"That's unusual, how dare you talk to me. Fine, why don't you tell me?

"Thank you. Actually..."

I've recently revealed to Mr. Makina the concern that Mr. Currier seems to be avoiding me.

After listening, Mr. Makina went to silence with a thoughtful look on her face.

Then she lost it so much that she opened her closing eyes thinly.

"Looks like you're finally here, this is the time."

"What?"

Finally here?

What's gotten into you?

"I knew it, Crohiko."

What's the matter, Mr. Machina?

What did she understand?

"I've been thinking about it for a long time."

Mr. Makina gets out of the chair.

The shoe sounded indoors.

Mr. Makina facing me.

"What's missing from you. You know what that is?

"Oh, what's missing from me?

There was a slight build-up, Mr. Makina said.

Confidence and aggressiveness.

"Dj, confidence and aggressiveness? Um, what the hell is that?"

"That's it!

Shh, my fingertips were poked at my nose from the bottom.

"Huh? Well, that's... what is it?

"Too many toothless responses such as' the ',' the ',' eh '!

"What, what?

"Neither is that 'Nah,' too!

"Oh, no -"

"See, again!

"Ugh!?

Mr. Makina enters the teacher mode of life with his arms loose.

"I can't say very strongly about caring for the other person. I think your personality is, in a way, an advantage. But sometimes that can be a fatal weakness for girls!

"Nah!

It was dangerous.

Almost said, 'What, what?' I almost said it.

"They may have become disgusted with your unsweetened attitude after a while."

"Unboiled attitude..."

"Think back. Can you stretch your chest that you have responded with a full spirit to their actions and determination when they have demonstrated their aggressiveness?

"Oh, I..."

No.

Maybe so.

Maybe Mr. Currier and Mr. Cecily are getting scared gradually because they don't sound like action on me.

Now that I think about it, I might certainly not have been aggressive enough.

The answers could have been varied.

Was it?

I remembered how cozy I was in a neat space - like at that consolation meeting, for example - but were they looking for a more handsome Sorohiko Kurohiko...

And the two of them, who were so frightened that they could no longer expect this, went to the secret garden of only the twitching maiden.

"If so, I can't take it back..."

"Let me tell you the truth from me, the woman, and I want the man to stay put, and I want him to act aggressively about something. Sure, you could be sweet, Crohiko. But at a moment when you're so gentle and passive..."

Mr. Makina's eyelashes lay down gently.

"At that point, your loss had already been confirmed."

"I had already lost..."

No, without even realizing that I was losing, I... I...

"Shit!

I slapped the table with a clenched fist.

And dropped.

It was made up.

At some point.

The Curse King said (no, it hasn't come out lately), "Let's do it."

"Looks like you finally figured it out... but it's not too late"

"Huh?"

The light of hope spread before my eyes.

It was a goddess of light.

It's not over yet, is it?

"I didn't miss Currier letting me get lost when you stopped earlier."

"Ho - are you serious!?

Dangerous.

Almost. 'Ho, is that true?' I almost said it.

"... yeah, I'm serious"

Mr. Makina was serious, too.

But I...

"What the hell am I supposed to do, Mr. Makina!?

"The battle is the day before the next holiday...... Sheeras Baths"

"The place of the showdown......"

When I talked to her earlier, she told me she was going to the Sheeras bathroom.

"It's no exaggeration to say how you behave towards them there will determine your future life in Yugdracier."

"Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

I only spit on you and say, "Oh! 'I tried to cover it with a tempered hanging voice, but the trachea got stuck due to the momentum...... kekon.

"Oh, you don't have to do that?

"Hakohon"

Mr. Makina's two little hands wrapped my wretched hand, which accidentally mixed 'yes' with 'kekon'.

She stared at me with a sincere look.

"You don't have to pull a disconnect line on yourself in the past. Instead, if you become self-contained and your personality changes without context, you will be disgusted and cursed. The curtain will never come up again."

"I see... it will do"

And who the hell are you, Mr. Machina?

"You...... like them?

"I like it."

"Then it's your turn to set it up. The situation is unfavourable... but not without winning eyes."

"Yes."

"Be confident and actively involved with them. No need for small work. Don't sit back and bump into each other with feelings."

"Ok...... I'll try! No, I'll do it. I'll do it!

Mr. Makina nodded with a smile and satisfaction.

"That's a good reply."

I'll do it.

No.

I have to do it.

This is your last chance.

I'll set you up.

"That's all I can tell you."

Take your hands off me, Mr. Machina, and put your hair up.

"I'll even ask the results on holiday afternoons when I go shopping for examples. I'm counting on a good report, Crohiko."

Yeah, and I snapped my nose and hoisted the end of my mouth.

"Yeah, look forward to it. Be sure to meet your expectations."

…………

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"Instead of telling the truth from me the woman... there's one thing I'd like to ask you the man, though"

Soo, and Mr. Makina attached both palms to his chest.

And slightly uplift your cheeks, while distracting your gaze.

"Chi, is the little one... masculine, is it tough after all?

"To?"

"So.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

If it was just me.

This place is like, 'Well, that's not true. Mr. Makina is a nice person' but he would have replied.

But not me now.

No, I said.

"Three people, ten people, ten colors, a hundred people, a thousand different...... full of diverse values from the world. This should be common in all worlds. And it's that diversity that has nurtured people's rich cultures."

"I mean...?

I put my hands on both shoulders of Mr. Makina.

"I mean -"

The moment I showed the lights here.

Probably my loss will be confirmed.

"It's all kinds of things. It's okay."

Mr. Makina looks up at me.

"I have nothing to worry about. I didn't fall in love with Mr. Makina's chest. I fell in love with your spirituality."

With the utmost sincerity and kindness, I said.

"Crohiko -"

That's all right, isn't it, Mr. Machina?

This is what aggressiveness is all about, right?

I lifted my hips.

"So, Mr. Makina, that's it for today. Advice, very helpful"

"Yeah..."

Touching his cheek dyed like a peach with his hand, he said goodbye to Makina, who was pouting and groaning with a face as if he had been struck by surprise, and I left the room refreshed.

When I left, I felt like I heard Makina in the room saying "I think I did too much..." but I had no idea who did too much.

Walking down the hall, I was renewing my resolve.

I won't let them down anymore.

Most importantly, I now have Mr. Makina's inky foot massage, as well as Mia's direct pleasure massage.

I don't see any elements to lose.

Watch.

This is where...

The showdown is at the Sheeras Baths.

It's my turn.
