Seirei no Moribito

The anxiety of the restless inhabitants and the desperate of the knights rushing to go.

In a castle town colored by such chaos, Emilia didn't try to hide her anxiety again, but just ran around looking for Eña and Eña in the pipe.

"Eña! Eña!... Already, really, where have you been, both of you..."

Just like the agency, there seems to be widespread talk of suspects escaping in the castle town.

In case the knights, who combine evacuation guidance and escort, hide in the building and don't go outside, the inhabitants follow the instructions very carefully, even with an alternating look that is not at all anxious and curious at once, and Emilia avoids the crowd so as to defy the flow.

(I think Eña and Eña probably jumped out because of the consideration attached to who this suspect is)

The question immediately occurred to me that the two of them had found out that it was probably 'Eileen' with the escaped suspect.

But then the question as to why he jumped out to the point of that possibility didn't come up with any consideration, and in the end he said it was the best decision to bring the two back, and Emilia searches around for a pair of girls with the same face.

It's not too late to tell me everything, and Emilia's mood is not to miss an imitation that puts two of her friends at risk with an important classmate.

(What are you two doing with Kosokoso... me too! If that's for me, I don't want you to do anything unscrupulous for me...)

If both of them are unexpectedly artillery and fearless (with the exception of physically having a difference in power), Emilia has two worries: anxiety that she might end up doing something wrong, and worry about what if she was injured.

"Eña, Eña! Where the hell are you?!?... Where have you really been?!"

The impatience of not being found in one line deprives Emilia of her calmness.

At the same time, however, I whisper the realistic opinion that I may not be able to handle on my own in a corner of my head, and I also tell you that my feelings and worries for Eña and Eña can run around more.

Guru, reality theory and emotion theory fought over and over in his head,

(Oh, no more! I'm really losing track of what's going on!

If you don't think hard about yourself, Emilia decides to make sure you two are the priority.

(Anyway, assuming it was Chairman Eileen who escaped, if you're trying to make contact with him, you should avoid a lot of public places. I scream on the boulevard and there's no progress at all, so one or eight, it's better to look in the back alley. If that's not a good idea, just think about it then.... All right!

Of course, Emilia's life would be in danger if the escaped suspect were not Irene or anything else, but a vicious criminal. At the same time, it fits in with Eña and Eña looking for the same person.

"... well, maybe Senior Rose is looking..."

A few days ago, I remember Rose shaking her head in such a way as a depression of consciousness, and I came to the possibility that she might also be looking for a deserter.

With as much strength as Rose, even if he was a vicious criminal, he wouldn't easily lag behind. Ningro, it is more likely that you will feel the aftermath of crushing it with all your might.

And it's Eña and Eña who feel the signs of battle and rush, and the knights are the same again.

If the goal is confidential contact, it is difficult for the two of them to find it in this operation, but Emilia, who normally has a better chance of being attacked without question, sets her aim in a direction where the knights, with signs of skilled men, gather and run.

"... east and south are mostly conductors, the rest are north and west... west is the headquarters of the Knights of the King's Capital, then take the path from the main entrance to the street in the northeast via North Avenue... yeah, let's look in this direction first"

Recognising that a possible battle is next to a life-threatening one, Emilia steps out into the back alley ready and in a mood.

Back alley, though, doesn't mean there's no sign of people at all, just that the crowd is being pushed to a certain extent compared to the clutter on the surface street.

Still, Emilia runs with the map in mind behind her brain through an alley that has been quieted at once by evacuation recommendations. Even the intricate alleys, to some extent combined with the map of the area you know, take the shortest distance to the main entrance of the northeast,

"Huh!"

"Yikes!

Moving on for a while and further down the next corner, he collided with his opponent, who had also been bent, and Emilia fell to the ground.

At that time, the knife held in his right hand combined with the impact of the pattern buttocks hitting the ground, the paralysis ran, and the knife that accidentally let go of his hand made a dry noise and rolled off.

"Yes, I just... Oh, I'm sorry!

Emilia leaks her voice with her buttocks on, but immediately remembers her opponent and stands up in a panic and lowers her head.

The person he bumped into was a boy who at first glance looked the same age as Emilia, and he also paid the sand on his clothes as he stood up again,

"... no. Sorry about this one."

I told him so briefly as I picked up the hat that fell to the ground and put it back on.

For a moment only, in Emilia's eyes, his eyes were the same ethereal color as the clear sky,

(- Beautiful...)

I have the illusion I've seen so many times before. Besides, I fall in love with it for a while.

Regardless of Emilia like that, the boy tries to leave in the direction Emilia came, finds a knife that remains rolling on the ground, picks it up as it is, and offers it to Emilia.

Even when offered, Emilia hurriedly receives the knife with both hands where the boy looks surprised at Emilia, who is still in the sky above her.

"Oh, thank you"

to her lowering his head slightly, he waved gently before this time trying to put the spot behind him,

"- Far from reason to keep secrets and wishes and admonish everything." Chain Experide "!

Along with a third party chant, a golden chain stretched out of the ground captured the boy's leg.

"Huh...?

It can be called suddenly. And Emilia blinks her eyes, but the boy immediately tries to move on to counterattack.

"An overflowing splash of water." Aqua Free Season ""

Frozen and broken chains tangled in his legs with “spiritual art," and at the same time where he emerged from, a knight with armor wrapped around his chivalry launches an attack on a boy with a sword straight in one hand.

Slightly backwards, the deviated sword trident smashed the ground and scattered debris.

"... madness, or if he...?

I can't keep up with things, Emilia, but I still realize that the boy in front of me, attacked by a knight, is the suspect and deserter he's looking for,

"Ice sword falling quietly." Ice Out ""

"Ringing and roaring, zero falling special sword." Silfie Laure "!

Two “surgeries” clash at close range.

The ice produced by the boy is sharpened by the wind blade produced by the knight, but it cannot be sharpened to the end and strikes the knight.

Striking his face hard with ice, flying blood flowing from his forehead. Still, the knight waved his sword to fight,

"Ice sword falling quietly." Ice Out ""

The ice released again froze the knight's feet.

At the same time the boy rushed out, still lightly avoiding that attack of a knight waving down his sword without losing his will to take his sword,

"Huh!"

Without a moment of hesitation, I scratched the knight's neck off.

Don't contaminate your clothes with returning blood, or step back and avoid the overflowing blood, and keep quiet. He gazes at the way the knight collapses, with a cold, inorganic look that doesn't dwell on any emotions.

Emilia retreated unexpectedly with the upset that people had died easily in front of her and the fear that a boy of age who just bumped into her but seemed no different from herself had killed people lightly, and the boy turned to Emilia for the slightest sound.

That's a natural response to the fact that Emilia, by chance, saw something she shouldn't.

Just silent, but the blood of a desperate knight at the feet of two mixed killers and fears creates stains on the ground.

What can I say and how can I act? Emilia lost her mouth as she searched for words in what she now rightly felt was a series of disturbances and life-threatening events that had happened so suddenly,

"... if..."

Pompous.

Emilia utters the word when she wants to ask all the time and maybe there are facts in front of her that she didn't want to know.

If you ask me that, I won't be able to go back to my usual routine.

Perhaps it would be happier for her to live in peace and quiet with Eña and the Eñas, not knowing anything and pretending to be ignorant again, as usual.

Still, I didn't want to unhinder that self and its thoughts that once solidified my resolve and wanted to know the truth.

So, says Emilia.

Whoa, hold a knife in his chest. Emilia took a deep breath,

"- Are you, Chairman Eileen...?

With Emilia's childhood tame and on his absolute side.

Follow him all the way from his hometown to the King's Capital, in such a way as to give him a gift.

He must have been someone important and loved by "her”.

Breaking that iron-skinned faceless look, he also quickly finds an answer when he tries to dive suspiciously into his eyebrows and explore the sincerity of the word,

"... No way, you..."

I just opened my eyes for a moment like I was surprised,

"Hey, how far have you been looking!? It's time for a regular report!!"

To the chaser looking for a colleague who heard them from right around the corner, the two turned to those who heard them as if they had been played.

And I think that somewhere else, like HR, that even Emilia, who is just a student, would be sorry for the schematics of a knight who died at her feet and a boy with a sword painted on his blood,

"... this way!

Aggressively, Emilia grabbed the boy's hand and ran out.

I wanted to hear the answer right now. But as long as I live, as long as I stay in front of you, I can still hear that.

So the first prerequisite is to get out of here.

Preparing such an excuse, Emilia moved with one heart that just didn't want to leave the boy.

I couldn't provide any reason or excuse for all this. Honestly, I don't even know myself.

"Hey, where the hell are you going!

Behind my back, I grabbed my hand and asked Emilia, wondering but not forgetting to be vigilant,

"Because there's an evacuation recommendation out there among the residents now! Even if you're walking down the main street, it's just that you're out in that situation, and I have suspicious eyes on you!

"If so, extra......!

"But! If you get into an institution!

Emilia is

"If you can hide your face and disperse it into just a student, you won't be able to find it right away, even with the Knights of the King! By the time I've finished searching all the way, even the evacuation recommendations have been solved, so I don't care what happens if the knights don't find me. If he wants to hide something from you, he will!

"If anyone knew about me...!

"You just have to hide and do it! Even if they find you, you can handle it if you even wear a uniform, maybe!

"Such ambiguity... in the first place, how could you...!

"Because I want to do this, I'm doing this on my own! Besides, you can ask me that later!

Beside the screaming intercession, Emilia turned early into the back alley to the institution as she spearheaded,

"... oh, shit! Take it easy on yourself!

"... yeah, let me take it personally!

After a brief silence, somewhere shitty. Yes, the boy returned it.

At the same time, Emilia, who confirmed that the sword the boy had let go would roll to the ground, finds herself believing me at least now, feeling strange and warm in the chest.

Though there is no single reason, no excuse, no explanation, no basis for everything to be convincing.

(... Eña and Eña are fine. If I were with him, it would be much less likely for both of us to get scratched... and why not? Why, you want to help him... because he's important to me after all...?

I'll line up some words, but none of them still stick together.

Beside that thought, the two people approaching the surface street slowed down gradually so that they didn't think it was unnatural around them, and now they walk early to their destination.

Meanwhile, I still can't find an answer to Emilia's question that I can't find an answer to. But if you're going to answer the most sincere words,

(... yeah, it doesn't matter. Because it's so important to me right now)

It seems Emilia is better to be swept away by extremely vague and unexplained emotions.

In this situation of trying to hide a boy, a deserter being chased around by a knight, still better than a sense of crisis, nostalgia, joy, etc., she smiles quietly to avoid being noticed by him accompanying her behind her back.

Hey, make sure his warmth is in the connected hands.
