Episode 153: Encounters, and -

"The girl in the dress...... is it?

With a blue face, the village chief asks Lucius back. Then...

"Oh, I was just in my mid-teens. The color of the hair is light purple. People seem nice to the royal aristocracy, and they have soft hips..."

When Lucius speaks of the figure of Flora, he looks sharply at the village chief.

…………

The village chief was just pale in the face.

"What's up? You look pale, village chief. What does it have to do with why you're leaving work alone and moving around in the villagers' outing?

Lucius peeks into the village chief's face with a bad grin.

"Yes, no! What do you call this, uh, actually..."

And when the village chief tries to follow and elucidate...

"Well, don't be in such a hurry. I'd like to talk a little more carefully. Let's go to your house first. As a matter of fact, you are the royal family of this country. I can't even let you stand talkin '?

Lucius saw Duran-Paradia, the first prince, and addressed the village chief to Eagle Yang.

"Oh, royalty... are you a prince?

The village chief is stiff and sees Duran.

"Hmm."

Duran grinned coldly and looked at the village chief's face.

"Hih..."

The village chief is frightened and inadvertently lags behind. The surrounding villagers also remembered the shitty chills, their faces caught on.

"Ha ha, His Royal Highness the First Prince is so easy to see. He's not as innocent as demanding his manners from the peasants there. Nevertheless, depending on how you engage with the girl ahead, you cannot guarantee her safety…"

That's what Lucius tells me, and he gets a grin that contradicts what he said.

"Eh... no, so, the... go to my house first"

I have no idea what it is right to respond to. The village chief looked completely disgusted and invited Lucius and the others to his home.

"Right. Then show me around. Your Highness, let's go...... hey, you guys are waiting outside. Because of this, you should give me a tour of the village"

Lucius nodded casually, speaking to Duran and the knights around him.

"Ha!"

When the knights replied with some pleasant grin...

"You don't mind, village chief?

Lucius asks the village chief for his ex-post consent to let him search the village in the dark.

"Yes. I don't mind. So, come here…"

When the village chief nodded, he walked away with fluttering footsteps. And when we walk away, we see the villager man who was with Lucius and the others before we came back, and we ask him out of the blue.

I was wondering how far you talked. But the villager, who was turned his gaze, turned away in a frightened manner.

Lucius and Duran follow the village chief as he watches such interaction chill. Then...

"Oh, Dad, I'm coming too!

Will offered to accompany him.

"Oh, you don't have to come!

The village chief refuses to accompany him yet...

"Well, don't say that, village chief. You mean your father, right? As a candidate for the next village chief, it would be kind of him to gain social experience. Didn't I?"

Lucius gives permission to accompany Will.

"But I'm not ashamed to be polite and I was wondering if you would be disrespectful in imitating..."

"What, did I tell you? Your Royal Highness is a gentle man. I'm not as disrespectful as an ignorant peasant's slightly impudent attitude. I'm not a nobleman, I'm a mercenary. I don't care about courtesy."

Lucius waved his weariness all the way to the impatient and resistant village chief.

"... ok. Thank you very much for your generous attention."

When the village chief bows his head so that he can thank him, he sees Will and presses his gaze in case he makes any extra remarks.

Thus four of the village chiefs, Will, Lucius and Duran, went to the village chief's house, and only the knights and villagers were left on the spot.

"Shall I first explain it from the girl's qualities? My real name is Flora-Bertrum. Does the name Beltram sound familiar to you?

And, Lucius tells details about Flora on the road, and asks the village chief and Will, who walk diagonally forward. Then...

"... that, just the name. I've heard of a country called the Kingdom of Beltram in the southwest."

The village chief answered with a strong voice.

"Oh, that's exactly the name of that big country. You know the kingdom of Rubia, which is in a belligerent relationship with this kingdom of Palladia and is located southwest, right? The Kingdom of Beltram is the shadow power that has long supported its enemy, the Kingdom of Rubia. So far, you can see the girl's identity, right?

Lucius nods in a mood, pointing the water in a tone that does not precipitate.

"No way...... Princess of that Beltram Kingdom, is it?

The village chief answered with a blue face.

"Oh, no way. There are impeccable circumstances as to why the princess of a great power, who refrains behind a belligerent nation, is in this country, but as a kingdom of Palladia, we cannot abandon its existence. Instead, I'd love to make sure of that figure. Do you understand?"

"... is, yes. That, of course. Available in a variety of ways?

In short, the village chief understands and confirms that he wants to be treated as a hostage.

"Oh. Being a village chief on a boulder is quick and helpful"

"Yes, no..."

To Lucius, who praised him satisfactorily, the village chief waved his wearing with an uphill voice.

"So, its Princess Flora, but we know she's lurking near the woods beside this village. However, there are many villages around the forest. I'm just going around one by one, checking the information."

"I see. Was it after you already went around some villages?"

"Oh, but it's hard to get to the information we're looking for. I can't possibly travel that far from the woods, I'm supposed to be stopping by some village..."

That's what Lucius said, putting it between just a few...

"I don't want to think about it, but maybe it's also a village I'm deliberately hiding from. The princess is named as a beautiful princess in neighboring countries. If you behave as a translated aristocrat, there would be no reason enough to hang out with a beginner village man and take it on your hands. Don't you think so, kid?

He continued by saying it the way he took it around and asked unexpectedly for Will, who was walking in silence.

"... Oh, no, what do you think,? If some villages haven't gone around yet, maybe they're there."

Will answers with a limp, trembling body, tilting his neck. That complexion looks anxious, no way? But I said, I was a lot bluer. On the other hand...

"Huh..."

With the look of the village chief gone, he stares at Will with a giddy look on his side. Because now Will's rhetoric also sounds like he's saying that Flora hasn't come to this village in the dark.

"Right. Some villages have not gone around yet. We don't want a life without darkness either. Let's hope so."

Lucius agreed with an empty grin.

(You idiot. Make a far-fetched statement......)

The village chief thinks teethily. Fortunately, Flora isn't even in the village, so cutting through white is one option. On the other hand, in case anything happens, it seems like you should be honest with me - though.

There's also a fear that he'll be killed by mouth sealing where he's honestly revealed, and he's terrified and he steps on two feet. It was no longer a situation that could be held by a village chief. That's how I see the village chief's house.

"Wow, it's my house. It's a crude house, but come in. Will, you need to keep both your horses in the stables."

When the village chief gave Will instructions, he opened the front door and urged Lucius and Duran, fearful.

I'm sorry.

When Lucius and Duran get off the horse, they entrust Will with the lead.

"Yes, no, I'll keep it"

Will receives the lead in awe. When Lucius and I gazed at each other when we received it, we leaned backwards.

"Your Highness, let's go in.... and oh, village chief. I'm sorry, but can I check the house? Just in case."

When Lucius loosens his licence, he enters the village chief's house with Duran. And asked the village chief for permission to search the house.

"... what?

The village chief gets hit by surprise and stiff, but...

(Oh, yummy! There are dresses and jewels in the room......)

I remembered the presence of the dress and jewels that Flora left as a thank you, and I looked exhausted.

"What's up? You don't mind?

Lucius grins with a chill and asks the village chief.

"Oh, no, it's, uh, it's scattered..."

The village chief could only utter a painful excuse.

"I'm fine. I don't care. Your Highness, please wait here."

Lucius walks slightly to the back of the house. Immediately after...,

"Oh, wait!

The village chief panicked and stopped Lucius.

"What's up? Is it something you don't want to be seen?

Lucius asks for a laugh.

"Well, I'll tell you everything. About the girl..."

The village chief had a perfectly naughty face and noticed. Then...

"Uh, you broke your mouth lightly."

Too bad Lucius says something, scratches his head. On the other hand...

"Were you still in this village? This bet. My win."

Duran spoke to Lucius, flailing his mouth.

………………

The village chief stares at the interaction between the two.

"That's a bad guess, village chief. You thought it was well hidden? At a time when things were strange in the village, I knew you were hiding something, didn't I? He was gambling with me and His Highness about what he was hiding."

Lucius sighed and revealed his story to the village chief.

"Oh no..."

And when the village chief is unexpectedly losing his word -,

"Where is Princess Flora? Don't cover up what happened. Be concise. If you want to hide any more, I'll snap your neck. Ready to answer?

Duran speaks out in a cold voice.

"Mm, when I came to the village, it seemed that I was getting something sick, and you were supposed to stay in my village! Then, I advised you to rely on your lord, but this morning, when I realized, he was gone!

The village chief hastily began to explain the situation.

"... Hmm. So the village was noisy?"

"I thought that might be the case... but that mouthful has not yet led to discovery, is it, village chief?

And, Lucius asks the village chief when he is good at following Duran.

"Yes, no..., I made the discovery, but I decided it was no longer in our hands, and the..."

The village chief swims his eyes and clouds his words.

"Damn, haha, you abandoned me! Yeah, dude!?

Lucius laughed joyfully.

".................. Yes"

The village chief nods with a voice that seems to disappear. The complexion was palest today. Then...

"... I guess he's still breathing?

Duran asks in a swordswallowing voice.

"Hih."

The village chief shook himself in fright.

"Uh, Your Highness sounds angry. There, what do you say, village chief? I think I can handle it if I still breathe..."

Lucius scratches his head and asks the village chief where the bat looks bad.

"Oh, probably...... I just realized earlier that I could tell the exact difference, but perhaps the poison spider is biting me and I'm feeling sick..."

The village chief originally replied with a voice that seemed to turn around.

"Poisonous spider?

"There are spiders who can have black moles when they bite. Mm, it doesn't first show up in the village, because that's a pretty slow poison and there's no antidote..."

"Uh, is that it? The number of individuals should be small. It's a hassle again... So, how many days have passed since he bit you? Where was he bitten?

Lucius asks annoyingly if he has any idea who the poisonous spider is.

"Mm, it's been exactly six days since I came to the village! It was the neck muscle that had the marks!

"... a neck muscle. It's troublesome that you're walking around and getting around poison faster, but it looks like you can handle it with your own antidote magic potion."

When the village chief answers, Lucius explains to Duran with a thought face.

"Right. Then let me show you."

"That's why. Well, just in case, mayor? One of your necks, no, I hope it's about the neck of the people who live in this village..."

Duran urged me, and when Lucius threatened me...

"Yes! Immediately!"

The village chief snorted in momentum. There -,

"Your Highness, Master Lucius"

A knight emerges from the front door and speaks to Lucius and the others.

"Oh, what's up?

"We had two villagers going out of the village and onto the southern streets, so we're letting them follow us. One is the son of a village chief and a thoughtful youth. I was in a lot of a hurry..."

When Lucius responds, the knight promptly reports in a voice containing some derision.

"Ha, well, what does this mean, village chief?

Lucius grinned and asked the village chief.

"No way...... Shh, I'll show you right away!

When the mayor changed his complexion hah, he ate bubbles and encouraged him to move.

◇ ◇ ◇

Then, a few minutes later. There were two young men running out of breath - Will and Donner - on the streets stretching south from the village.

"Donner, there are a lot of things I can tell you. The first thing you need to do is help Master Flora!

And Will speaks to a donner who rendezvous mistakenly along the way.

"I know! But is it true, that Master Flora will be held hostage?

"Oh, Lord Flora is the princess of an enemy country!

"Princess...... But what do we do? Master Flora, you're sick, aren't you? Not us..."

Donner clouded his face with teeth twitching.

"But shut up! You're gonna have to!? If you stay like this, Master Flora will be taken hostage!?

"Ugh..."

When Will drinks a drink, Donner pushes silence. Then...

"... In fact, we'll have to hide Master Flora somewhere else to buy time and find a way to help in the meantime. Those aristocrats might know something, and they might even have drugs. Ask me that, or I'll take the medicine I have if I have to."

Will gets agitated and squeaks with the face he comes up with. When I got out completely, it was a battle plan. Does Will and Donner know about that, and from now on, he moves only his legs toward a place where Flora is silent with no more mouth count. That's how...

"It's definitely over there!

The two returned to where they abandoned Flora. As you approach the woods through the streets, you look around the bushes of the trees -,

"There he is! It's Master Flora! Dear Flora!"

"What!? Dear Flora!"

Donner discovered Flora.

Will rushes over, too, and the two of us speak to Flora. But...

"Ugh...... Ha, ha..."

Although Flora reacted slightly, she was so debilitated that she could no longer even know if she was keeping consciousness. Its face is bright red, it is so rough that it has never exhaled, and it is surprisingly sweaty. But still, he was certainly still alive.

"Oh, shit, I'm sorry. Dear Flora..."

Will throws Flora an apology in his face.

"Ha, I'll carry it fast. To a warm place."

Donner ate bubbles and rushed Will like that. It's a matter of contention for a moment now.

"... I know. We have to go back to the village."

Say, Will will look bitter. Because back in the village, the knights roam. If you keep going back from the street, you'll find it soon. Even when I came, I came out of the farmland.

"Let's go in from the farmland and go to my house. It's easy to get to because it's at the end of the village"

"Okay. I'll carry you, you take your feet from the side."

Will said so, holding Flora's upper body from behind. And -,

"Like this?

When the donner holds Flora's foot from the side -,

"That's right. We're gonna stand.... Hey, all right, let's go. You're in the lead."

They stood up with Flora's upper body and legs in their arms. Keep walking with Flora's feet in the direction of travel. But away from the woods, to some extent, close to the streets -,

"Ma, wait! Horse footsteps! Somebody's coming! Crouch!"

I heard a horse's foot from the street. Will and Donner bend over in a hurry to lurk.

But the foot sound of the horse, without getting lost, was approaching where the two of them were and stopped in front of them. There are knights on horseback, among them Lucius at the beginning -

"Like, you secured the princess first? Thank you very much."

And, with an ill-bottomed grin, I've spoken.

"Ugh..."

Will and Donner stay crouched and stiff. Then came down from a horse he had refrained from in the rear, a village chief who had been carried by a knight...

"... Will. I didn't think you were so stupid."

And, with a face like a bitter bug chewed up, he spoke to Will.

"Fair enough, village chief. Don't say that. You two must have bought a transporter and left. Because of this. Shall I have it brought straight to the village? Checking and detoxifying the container before you do."

When Lucius relented to the village chief, he descended from his horse in a light-hearted manner. And then we walk towards Flora.

"Hmm..."

Duran, the first prince, also stepped off his horse and walked over to Flora. But...

"... smell. Don't smell that."

Duran is so blurry, blushing, and stopping his legs.

"Damn, ha. Well, then you wouldn't have taken a bath in days, so hey. You're so sweaty, and you'll smell so bad. Whoa, princess. Are you conscious? It's gonna stink."

Lucius grabbed his head and spoke as he approached Flora slightly.

"Ugh..."

Flora's body wandered slightly. And -,

"Uh, for once, you seem conscious. Do you even remember shame? Certainly on the neck muscle..."

And when Lucius is checking the container in the way he's used to...

"Hey."

A quiet but strange voice echoed on the spot.

"... ah?

Lucius sees those who hear his voice and squeezes his eyes softly in surprise. There, with dark hair, a young boy in his mid-teens stood at some point. Then...

"... How long have you been there?

Duran pulls out his sword, and in a swordswallowing voice, who (what) does the boy? The surrounding knights also pulled out their swords and became wary and in a state of battle.

But the boy - Rio doesn't answer Duran's question -

"Are you Lucius, Lucius-Orguille?... No, I don't even have to check. You can't forget that ugly side. Remember me?

I pointed to Lucius and answered the question myself.

"Dark hair...... Brave man? No......, its face is Yagmo's...... You, no way............... Rio, huh?

When Lucius stood up in large measure, he pulled out his hips sword without alarm and stared at Rio. But slightly, I opened my eyes with dismay.

"... yes, it's Rio. I've come this far to kill you."

That's what Rio says, pulling out his hips sword.

"Damn, haha...... Right, right. He's alive, or the nose sag from that time. No, did you live? Just like I thought!

All of a sudden, Lucius laughed with a heartfelt pleasure and spoke softly.

…………

Rio is silent, staring at Lucius untouched. Duran and the knights around him were also silent and watching the exchange between Rio and Lucius, watching how things were going.

Then Lucius tinkled his nose...

"Uh, that woman. Yes, aye, aye. He was a good woman. It's been my good food."

This provokes Rio in his sight. But...

"Is that all you have to say?

Rio asks lightly.

"... it looks good to have the guts in it. The intention to kill is passing on tingly.... Fine, I haven't seen you in ten years. It's been a long time since my uncle's played you, come on!

Lucius laughed joyfully and invited Rio when he moved his left hand unnecessarily against the knights and Duran around him and stopped him.

Then, shortly afterwards, Rio finished waving his sword, standing behind Lucius...

"Huh?"

Lucius realized that Rio had disappeared from his sight, while at the same time realizing that his own trunk had slightly collapsed. Precisely, the left half is light.

The reason for this has to do with Lucius' left arm dancing through the universe. Slightly late, when its left arm falls to the ground -,

"Play alone."

It sounded like a bottom cold, Rio's voice.
