Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Episode 20: Two Pouncy Feelings

"Our problem is that we're both drifters, so you're not so familiar with the Holy Site situation. Fighting alone would be fine, but it would also require knowledge of the diet and life aspects of the attack."

Mr. Currier single-handedly raises the issue with the column water cup in the dining room seat.

Both me and Mr. Currier have done quite a bit of research on the Holy Monument.

Just looking into it, the dossier on the Holy Site summarizing information from the past was vaster than I thought.

As far as gathering information is concerned, it seems difficult to break through dozens of tiers in a day.

Especially from around the twentieth tier, the Holy Monument tends to "hold back" from going to the lower tier?

Living ruins, they just say.

Then there's the need to think about life in the ruins - for example, eating, sleeping, and so on.

"I had a long wandering life originally, and I experience life in a poor environment like the end-of-life home. So there's nothing wrong with a slightly harsh environment. But it seems that the Holy Monument requires only a special knowledge there."

I frown and roar.

"Hmmm... when it comes to packing up the knowledge you need now, you're going to be a little late getting out"

We both had a slightly awkward vibe.

That's right.

Both me and Mr. Currier had the feeling that resources during the summer vacation had been allocated too much to combat training.

"I struggled with Scorbanger because I was worried..."

"Oh, me too..."

It was caused by her struggle with that monster, and during her summer vacation, she said, she was training all over the battle.

I was helping the Knights with their work, other than training, and gathering information on the curse of the curse.

I was also asking around for information on the special sacred ruins.

But as for the so-called "Information on Practical Holy Site Attacks," I have to say it was almost a no-touch.

That's as much as reviewing the part that forms the foundation during your stay at the Arklight family......

"In retrospect, you can hardly say that past Holy Site attacks have dived either..."

Neither during Blue Goblin nor during Operation Giant Crusade was it that deep a hierarchy.

All are returning within that day.

"Hey, what should I start with...?

I may not have seen Mr. Currier's such a painful grin before.

Is that it?

What is it?

Suddenly it drifted on both of us, this sense of pomposity.

"On second thought... we're more combat-specific people than we thought."

"The only other thing I can say I'm good at is the dishes I remember while wandering..."

"Am I... about rubbing?"

…………

Mr. Currier gives a good deal of momentum to the idea of launching a crackdown.

"And for now, why don't we go to the Holy Monument Hall!? There's also a hand in asking the librarian to teach you!

"You may even ask your instructor about your past experience with Holy Site Attacks! Next time, I will also ask the Knights for information on the Holy Sites of the School!

"Uhm! You see the light!

"Yes!"

Silence.

"... it's going to take a while."

"... ugh, um"

It was when our aerodynamic gauge began to diminish.

"Were you here, Crohiko?"

"Is that it, Sieg? And Mr. Hilgis."

Here comes Sieg and Mr. Hilgis.

"You're telling me now that Sieg was looking for me?

I need to talk to you about something important.

"To us?

"Oh."

What is it?

Once I glanced at Mr. Hilgis, Sieg said.

"Me and Hilgis are leaving Renault Thread"

Huh?

"Ru, Leaving the Renault Thread - what do you mean!? What happened!?

"Oh, I'm sorry. You don't have enough words."

First we sat back in our seats.

"In fact, as a Special Exchange Student, I decided to be looked after by the Imperial Cadet Training Agency for a while"

"And a special exchange student?

In short, you're a sign of friendship.

According to Siege, the system of depositing students and candidates from their own training institutions with similar institutions in other countries begins on a trial basis between the three countries.

So, you think Sieg and Mr. Hilgis were chosen as their starting team?

"The Four Felonies are gone from the continent, aren't they? It's a pleasure in itself, but there seems to be some view that the Trinity - especially the Empire's deterrent to Oriental aggression - is no longer there."

Therefore, in the future, it seems that the countries will adopt foreign policy to that end in order to deepen the friendship between the three countries.

Mr. Currier convinces me, Hmm.

"One of them is what Siegbelt just said about the special exchange student system."

"Oh. I was just officially told the other day that I and Hilgis had decided to send an AC student from the school director to the Empire."

When I visited the school director's office before, I met Sieg and Mr. Hilgis on the same floor.

Maybe you had that notice at that time?

"The school has a high rating and no problems with attitude to life. Even the Sacred Martial Festival had enough results - that seems to have been decided. I hear the Gilèse family's patterning and appreciation also worked in their favor."

"I think I've added other imperial circumstances."

"An imperial situation, is it?

Sieg, who received Mr. Hilgis' gaze, uttered the answer.

"Apparently, the Empire is now launching a policy of easing discrimination against subraces."

I remember hearing before that many of the subraces are treated like slaves.

Did you hear that from the bad gala big man - who is also a victim of hibigami - who has been tangled up in the tavern by Mr. Mia?

I'm not bright on the circumstances of the empire, but something must have changed.

"By accepting subraces as AC students, they want to come up with the color of being tolerant towards subraces"

Is it part of an image strategy?

But...

"Is that okay with Mr. Hilgis?

Strong discrimination against subraces also risks a stronger wind to Mr. Hilgis.

I don't think that's a very good decision to make when I think of the curse on Mia the big man spoke of that night.

"Compared to preempting the Four Felonies, we can afford it"

"So, but..."

I want to go.

Mr Hilgis said quietly, but powerfully.

"Either way, I'll be back in a year, and besides, I'm worried that Sieg is alone. Now there's something about Sieg that's impotent."

Sieg, who was so attached, snarls his nose and flushes it with an extra grin.

Oh, I'm an adult......

"But the... Is Sieg good?

I heard it was a bad idea.

"Hmm?"

"Look... even though it's temporary, I was wondering if some people would miss Sieg..."

That's right.

He's an example widow.

Wouldn't she be lonely?

But the answer I returned was not something I feared.

"Pfft... I talked to him and he pushed me on the back instead of holding me back. It will always be a good experience for me to see the wider world."

Sieg closes his eyes and smiles to his thoughts.

"I'm looking forward to growing around and coming back," he said.

"Oh, well. Sounds like you were worried too much."

I wonder what it is.

The pure and romantic relationship that Sieg and his widow spin.

No doubt Zeke is a vessel that can be the protagonist of a story.

I promise.

Leave aside for a moment what the warranty of Sagara Crohiko is worth.

"I hope to be able to use my powers in the diplomatic arena in the future."

"On the diplomatic side?

"Oh. So visiting other countries is bound to be food, and I also want to take this opportunity to make light connections with imperial humans"

"Hmm."

"Human connections in other countries seem to help sometimes. In other words, this exchange was a boat for me to cross."

Something dazzling.

Is this the handsome aura of a man who can do this?

Terribly brilliant.

Plus, I don't hate it at all.

"But don't get lonely..."

I uttered and said something like that.

Sieg is my closest friend in same-sex.

The presence of an easy-to-talk boyfriend was valuable.

At least he thinks I'm his best friend.

"I miss you, too, but it's not like I'll ever see you again. Plus, sometimes I come back."

Sieg glances at it.

Mr. Hilgis nodded.

"So I have one favor for Crohiko and Currier."

What is it?

Take over Mr. Hilgis' words and Sieg will correct his residence.

"Can you put Master Cecily on your offensive squad while we're away from school?
