Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

That evening. Silvi, the first princess of the Kingdom of Rubia, had received a report from Elena, a SS knight, in the private room of the Inn about the most recent events.

"... is that the one who strips? Is that what Reyce told you?

Sylvie looks surprised when she learns what Elena was doing at Leis' behest. I was just getting a report about Rio asking a job question at the entrance to the Inn Town.

"Ha. I did say it. He said we might want to be careful not to be deprived of anything important, too."

Elena nods in awe and supplements the explanation.

"Hmm, what was the boy like?

Silvi asked what kind of person Rio was.

"Contrary to appearance age, there was a calm atmosphere. Also, I could see how well I grew up, but it doesn't feel like I don't know the world. The response to my job questions was also forthright. I didn't even see any gaps, so I thought maybe I'd also stand the sword arm."

"Well, I don't think it's very peeling."

When Elena speaks of Rio's first impressions, Silvi roars with interest.

"It didn't actually look like that kind of deal. It's more like they were escorting the girl they were taking with them."

"Right..."

And, when Silvi hammers with his imaginary face...

(A man named Rais is really frigid, but I don't even think he's a man who says such things without meaning. You think it's something important to us? What the hell does that mean? But it is possible that it is the aim that dares to direct my thoughts to you)

That's what I thought, and I glanced at the corner of the room. There is a sofa for one person sitting there, lotus Kikuchi with a wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"Range, what do you think of that?

and Silvi pointing the water at Lotus.

"Dear Silvi, are you going to talk to such a man? Why are you in Silvi's room in the first place?"

Elena says with a big face.

"I don't remember allowing you to speak, Elena. Shut up. I called it in. We didn't even have much conversation in that abandoned village."

"Huh..."

When Silvi received a lot of bitterness, Elena pressed silently with a face that looked like she had chewed down the bitter bug. However, he complains of dissatisfaction by turning a frustrating gaze at Lotus.

…………

Lotus pierced her silence and was taking Elena's gaze with her fed up face.

"What's wrong, don't you answer me?

Silvi asks Lotus again.

"... why are you asking me? I'm the one who made the situation worse."

Lotus answered with a musty face.

"If you're aware of that, aren't you going to do something to fix this?

…………

"... don't you think? Well, I guess to that extent we are. When we first met, when we crossed swords together and crusaded the demons, our hearts jumped when we saw the battle between them, but it was completely lost. No, this is what it really is."

Sylvie sighs at him. Then...

"Huh...!

Lotus looks up trying to say something to the boulder. But when I realized I was staring at him from Silvi, the bat looked out of sight.

"Don't you say anything back when you've been told so far. Who was speaking equally to me, the princess, when I first met her..."

"Huh..."

Even as Lotus chews his lower lip, he still doesn't say anything back.

"When we first met, you said you didn't know the world about yourself. So I don't even know how to say things. Normally, it is common sense to try to behave quite badly towards royalty and nobility, but that was so uncomfortable that it seemed clear that they were only working on the top. By the way, if I scout like that, I'm not going to obey anyone.... My men looked at me for a long time, but I didn't look at him like that and bought the only privileged part."

And, Sylvie let me tell you something.

…………

Lotus seems uncomfortable and silent for a long time. So Silvi decided to talk further.

"When you told me that my country wanted the strong, and I scouted for them, you said, 'That's none of your business.' If you let me put it that way, I guess this is how we're in trouble right now, too, because of this circumstance, and it had nothing to do with that. Nevertheless, then I said, 'How did that ever work for me in the first place?' I just want to ask..."

………………

Lotus is silent in his face.

"... still, can't you answer me"

Silvi sighed as strongly discouraged. And -,

"Apparently, my eyes were a milestone. Enough, that was already out of this lodging town, no, you should leave this country. It's a blind eye."

And I say it out to Lotus.

"Si, Master Silvi!?

Elena ate the bubbles and screamed.

"What, then the SS knights didn't think much of this guy? Can you make a good mistake?"

Sylvie says even with a strange face. So...

"Oh, that's..."

It was Elena who hated Lotus who was confused. Because that's all Silvi liked about Lotus. Then...

"Range, at least it's pity. I'll give you one last piece of advice. While living and blending into society, Sora avoids social cues and sometimes takes antisocial actions. I guess it was that way of life to jump those public waves with strength and twist them down. Don't think that such a convenient way of life will always pass, like hating social cues, trying to give social benefits, etc.?

Silvi starts saying that to Lotus.

"Huh..."

Lotus clenched his fist tightly. Because it was as if the existence of myself had been completely denied. It's humiliating for Lotus, such as being disgraced by someone who has no respect for fine dust. If I had someone to say this to me not long ago, that's what I might have looked down on with a strong attitude. But I can't do that now.

"There is always something in this world, such as being stronger than that. He was defeated now. Even if not individually, people are a threat if they become a group, right? Behold, it was just now that I turned my kingdom of Rubia against the enemy. Living in this country no longer comes true. In the future, if you see a face like that in our territory, I will slaughter you relentlessly. As a great sinner who has done so much damage to our country. Be prepared."

And, Sylvie tells without hiding her frustration. And -,

"That's it. Go. I'll explain everything to you from me."

I said goodbye to Lotus.

Elena no longer says anything and meditates on her eyes. I never forgive Lotus for making things worse with her. It is the same for the other SS knights. If you don't show up during the Golden Wheel, where should you go? I don't have time for Lianshi right now. But...

…………

Lianshi doesn't stand up. He looks terribly gritty, clenching his fist.

"What's up, why don't we get out of here soon? Or do you want me to slash and throw it away on this occasion?

Silvi asked coldly. Then...

".............................. holy shit"

Lotus moved his mouth with a blur.

"What?"

Silvi asks back with a strange face.

"... I'm sorry. Silvi is right. I can't say anything back."

Lianshi apologized with a voice he could hear for once.

"So what do you mean?

Silvi asks solemnly.

"... help my sister, I want you to help me too. I would do anything for it. After I save you, I'll make amends."

Lotus replied with a much soggier attitude, like an age-appropriate boy who was badly scolded.

"... you look like that."

For a moment, Sylvie smiles unintentionally when she looks shuddered.

"Dear Silvi,"

And, complex faceted Elena.

"Oh, I'm sorry.... but that's enough. I'm glad to hear it, but it's still time for you to leave."

Silvi smiled bitterly and apologized to Elena, saying so to Lotus. The voice color has changed and is gentle since I hit it earlier.

"... why?

Lotus becomes a tired face.

"Honestly, there are places where I relied on the power of that. But for better or worse, he was pure, just a child. Now I realize that. That's why. You can't get me into that."

Silvi spoke neatly.

"That's not true. No! I'm seventeen!

Lotus screams all the time saying he's out of his mind. Anyway, in Japan, when it comes to seventeen, it is formally the age at which adults are treated in this world. Silvi is eighteen years old.

"That's not true. That's too much chisel. Origin is completely riddled with mystery and something is fatally lacking while keeping the mighty power in your hands. I didn't know what the incompleteness was, but it seemed like a simple story."

That's what Silvi says, carving a fluorescently self-derisive (giggling) smile.

"No, you can't! If you run away here, I'll regret it for the rest of my life! I'm not going to be me!

Lotus ate the bubble and complained. Then...

"That would have been the case. It has nothing to do with us."

Silvi tells Lianshi the dialogue once spoken by Lianshi, as it were.

"Huh...!? But you'll need my help!?

When Lotus floats the tannic surface, he asks Silvi. That was the true meaning and strength of Lotus. Others do not have to be forgiven, but they are also unconscious arrogance that they are forgiven. I think I'm special even when I'm unconscious. But...

"That's the kind of pride I'm telling you is a child. Do you think you can trust me now?

Unfortunately, Lotus' trust had fallen to the ground. But...

"I'll never screw up next time! Believe me!

And, Lotus appeals forcefully.

"Yeah, well, don't think there's gonna be a next one, huh?

"Huh..."

When Silvi speaks out cold, Lotus unwittingly swallows the words. Although -,

(Honestly, we're all over ourselves right now. I can't afford to be babysitting my kids. But there are also concerns that if you poke the guy who's gotten so hot away, he might get stuck in the face again on his own. I only have the strength.)

Silvi was even troubled. Should I rely on such Lotus? Honestly, the combat abilities Lotus has are eye-catching. That is pure fact. If there is a difficulty, it means that the person to be treated is immature…. So...

"... if I hurt you, I might have spent the rest of my life pretending to be you? The moment I nod here, I may no longer be able to turn back. It's too late to regret it. Are you ready for that?

Silvi now once asked as much as Lotus was prepared.

"... there is"

Lotus nods quietly. There was a strong determination in his eyes.

Silvi stares back at Lotus' face. Or maybe I should just say no here. I thought so...

".................. ok"

Sylvie took a deep breath and decided to nod in her stomach.

◇ ◇ ◇

Meanwhile, Alain and Lucci had been called to Reis' room.

"Dear Lace, what the hell can I do for you?

Alain glances at Reis' complexion sitting across the street and asks questions.

"... Honestly, I was worried about who to entrust it to. Lucci, you'd better. Take this."

When Reyce said so, he largely took out his sword and placed it on his desk. Then...

"Ko, is this...!?

Lucci and Alain put their swords in sight and breathe stunned.

"Yeah, that's the sword he was using."

Rayce grinned.

"... this to me?

Lucci asks nasty.

"Yes, because you seem to be the best fit."

"Suitability?"

"Needless to say, it's a demon sword. Your abilities are a little special. It's powerful, but it's the type of substitute that needs aptitude to handle it. More than any other demon sword."

Reyce even explained it to him. But only the last dialogue has something to it.

"Is that aptitude for me?

Lucci leaned her neck in confusion.

"Yes, you have the same temperament as him."

Reis nods at Eagle Deep Fried.

"But I'm the leader of the regiment... There are other members of the team, okay?

Lucci asks Reyce, but sees Alain sitting next to him.

"... well, that's not a good idea. It's complicated, but you do have a resemblance to the captain. I'll explain it to the others later."

Alain said with a sigh of relief, for Christ's sake.

"Ooh..."

Lucci nodded somewhere softly, reaching for the sword. Then...

"We need to tame it for now. For the time being, wear it without letting go of your skin."

And, Reis calls on Lucci.

"Of course. It's the shape of the captain. I won't let you go when you're dead."

Lucci laughed at him.

"Fine. Shall I then tell you what we will do tomorrow? The Vens have also taken His Royal Highness Princess Estelle II to this town, haven't they? We're all set."

Reis also carves a creepy grin into his mouth.

"This is how the demon swordsman can get revenge."

Lucci chuckles invincibly. But...

"No, that's not the main purpose for this time only"

Reyce waved solemnly and for the first time.

"What, why not!?

Lucci eats bubbles and asks. Alain was totally willing to do that, too, and he was staring at Reis with his eyes open.

"Of course I've never been over it if I could finish him off. Well, depending on the situation, etc. Some Princess Flora survived because of it, right? She also has a new value for use."

And, Reis makes a profound statement. Those vain eyes looked far ahead.

◇ ◇ ◇

Tomorrow morning, Rio takes Flora and leaves the inn.

"Thank you again today, Master Hart"

Flora bowed to Pepper and Rio in front of the inn.

"Yes, I'll take care of it. I think we can cross the border in the morning. Quick, but shall we go? Let's just head out of town."

Rio invites Flora to walk out of the Inn Town. The other way is yesterday, in the opposite direction from the gate that came in.

"Yes!"

Flora nods well and starts walking next to Rio.

"By the way, is Master Flora strong in the morning?

Rio saw Flora in a good mood and asked.

"Huh?"

Flora tilts her little neck strangely.

"No, every morning, I hope you look fine, because you don't look very sleepy. I wonder if there's any fatigue left in the journey."

Rio frankly explained the purpose of the question.

"Oh, no, how about that? It's not that I'm strong... but I'm not that tired because Hart carries me around."

And Flora speaks blankly.

"Was it true? Good, then."

"Master Hart is the one who runs a lot every day and doesn't get tired?

When Rio smiled, now Flora asked in wonder.

"I'm working out. Plus, if you strengthen your flesh with the Devil's Sword, your health will increase."

As such, the two head outside of the boarding town in a soothing conversation. A little further outside the gate, there is a branch of the street that leads southwest and southeast. Rio and the others are heading southwest where Rodania is. If we go southeast, we will be headed for the Kingdom of Galark, so we will be far away. But...

"Hmm, is that...?

Rio discovers a crowd at the branches of the street. The southwest streets where Rio and the others are about to go were gathered yesterday with female knights who spoke to Rio and the others.
