Seirei no Moribito

Hide in the rain ①

The girl who appeared in her dreams always laughed happily.

The girl plays pleasantly with the waves that push her away, as the sunlight reflects and shines on the surface of the water that extends into a cup of vision.

Let the long sleeve piece deceive you, make an incessant laugh running around the beach barefoot, wave as you call your name from time to time, from the side of the eye it is dangerous to follow the waves and soak your feet.

I smile at her like that and watch her smile naturally as if she were harassed but frightened.

I didn't realize I was laughing. I didn't even know it was loose that I was stuck.

Her presence was getting bigger and bigger at some point, and I didn't realize that.

If I had noticed, I might not have had to lose her. I guess that grin never fell out of my palm. I didn't even think about that.

Even if I wasn't next to her, I thought she would remain forever.

Such a possibility, even though I say it's a delusion foolish enough to instantly kick ass if I'm my usual self.

A moment with her clouded my eyes.

So I lost her.

Yeah, she's not here anymore.

Nowhere is the shadow of the little girl who laughed and waved with pleasure.

Once you think that, she disappears with a sad grin. As if there was no one there from the beginning.

I'm surprised by that, confused, and voiced naturally anxious.

There was no reply from her that would normally be returned immediately. It's just that the scenery that was shining in the dazzling position suddenly fades away.

It was the heart of the world. She disappeared and nothing was left.

She's not here. What did you do? She's not coming home.

But I look for it.

She's not here anymore, she's dead, so she killed herself, too. I know, but I couldn't help looking.

In the darkness as far as I could see, I ran desperately looking for her. I shouted her name I didn't remember and just kept looking like an idiot.

My voice trembles along the way. I felt something on my cheek, but I couldn't afford to notice it. Only the rush grew, and the legs that were moving forward eventually stopped.

Exhale rough and look around with an anxious face like a parent and a detached child.

What's out there is the same darkness and the same reality.

The thing I wanted, there was nothing.

I can't stand the heat running up my throat, blocking my ears and squeezing in.

I called her by her name and kept apologizing to her with regret.

Even her phantom of cursing herself, doesn't exist.

Naturally, because I don't know anything about girls.

There's no way a stranger can appear in a dream.

So how did a girl come out in a dream? Did you see the sight of a girl you shouldn't remember?

How can you keep apologizing to a girl you don't know? Why is my chest hurting so much?

I wanted answers. I wanted to know the truth. I wanted my memories back with her.

Yes - “I was there" in hopes.

It's all in the past. I don't even want to have that past anymore.

Scary.

I am afraid to know the sins I have committed. I'm afraid to find out about the case that got her involved. I can't help but be afraid of her rejecting me.

Have I been so timid? Didn't you even care about her?

Why, my chest hurts and I'm overflowing with tears - on such a normal mind, I put a lid on it, chained it, and kept it locked in the depths.

I wanted to hate being so heart-wrenching.

Even though it would be easier if hatred dominated you.

If you think so and look, you don't even see the line you should have crossed.

When you can't come, someone's voice sounds.

That is so sad, a voice as if to plead.

Search desperately for the nostalgia you feel. Still can't find it.

I can't find it forever.

“Something” I thought was broken, but I had a breaking hallucination.

We are in a time of full rainy season and it keeps raining day after day.

Lynn just kept standing beside the students after class as they left without an umbrella.

In the scenery filled with color-picking umbrellas, the students, who noticed him in a hat wet with rain all over his body, revealed their vigilance as to whether he was a stranger or suspicious person, but soon found out that it was Chairman Irene, who was missing, this time with surprise, stretching his face, watching his trends secretly and far-fetched.

Can I say they're fortunate, they didn't take any action such as interference with Lynn or reporting to the instructor just to watch, and thanks to that, Lynn didn't have to waste any effort either.

If this is all noticeable, the person of interest will also notice immediately. Ningro, it would be more convenient to take action in front of the audience.

Slightly lay your eyes down and wait thirty minutes leaning against the wall next to the main entrance with your arms together.

There is a twitch among the students and the crowd cracks to avoid the person trying to walk over to Lynn. To the shadow he saw there, Lynn glances up at the person standing in front of him exhaling.

The student, who was carrying a student behind his back and whose grand standing behavior was on the board, was Lynn's intended opponent.

Deechrist Mel Zehn Fangrande, the third-largest powerful man in the institution for the royalty of this country.

Students of the institution as the Lord of the Samurai Eve, aiming at the breakdown and revolution of the present kingdom.

He gazed at Lynn as if to ordain,

"... he was missing, I'm pretty sure he's Chairman Eileen"

The neighborhood grows increasingly obsessed with the voices released so that the students around it can also hear them.

But it's also convenient for Lynn to take her back off the wall,

"His Royal Highness Prince Diechrist... Lord of the dedicated lead lady Eve, I'm sure of it"

"... Sure, but you're right?

Didn't you know Eve was in contact with Lynn, and Deechrist affirms with a look of surprise that Eve was given her name.

So even if he's certain of one guess, he doesn't speak of it, and Lynn takes off the hat he was wearing.

The rainwater stained out of his hat wet his hair all over the place, and now it hasn't even gotten any worse, but the fact that his hidden face was clearly identified revealed to everyone that he was the same person as the chairman.

We don't care about each other for the stiffness that gets bigger, but we narrow our eyes to a gaze that implies what the business is.

"Tell your samurai. I appreciate your guidance on getting out of jail and keeping it from depressing people, but it doesn't change my mind. Extra interference and selfish behavior, don't ever again if you punish me for this...... oh, or one more thing"

Deekrist, frowning at a word spontaneously uttered without giving him a gap to pinch his mouth, turned a vigilant gaze against Lynn,

"- Keeping Harnoyn Goldie a criminal, penetrating irrelevance. By the way, I lost him… that's the best reason I can't trust you."

Words told by distorting the mouth. Deekrist, who first realizes what it means, tries to raise his voice of denial, giving a bitter look to the voice of the audience that surpasses it.

embedded.

Hearing her squeal so small, Lynn laughs, hiding in the shadow of her hands putting her hat back on, turning herself over and walking away, aiming at that gap where the students' attention was directed to Deeklist.

Lynn's purpose was achieved. I wanted to stay here any longer and avoid imitations that would attract enemies.

Early enough, Lynn walks down the front street to stay away from the stirring students, and from time to time she doesn't care if she gets a suspicious look at being wet all over her body without an umbrella to the different residents, choosing as many crowded paths as she can to return to her lodging.

I haven't imitated or done anything to hide myself from the enemy, so I may have already identified where Lynn is, but I don't mind.

The important thing is that the enemy's attention can be directed at Eve even temporarily. And to make you think there's some kind of connection between Lynn and Eve.

Even if it's a lie, it's an effective way to do it while you're being deceived.

That's why Lynn came into contact with Deechrist until she risked herself.

Return to the inn, where you can also look suspiciously at your husband, but it will not be pryed thanks to the advance money, and go straight to the room you are renting and wipe your body with a towel first.

"… First of all, have you bought time"

About the future I've been postponing forever.

Lynn's conclusion was to throw everything away and run away.

Scared by an unavailable ghost, swung by an indestructible hatred, tied to a past you don't remember.

I was sick of that.

I keep being danced to the thoughts of others because I don't care about everything. Until now, it's still good, but I can't stop forever more than I took Harnoin's hand out on my own initiative.

Especially since I've learned of Emilia Shenti's existence.

"... really, what was I thinking“ before "

I wave my head at the "for someone" behavior that I can't imagine in Lynn right now, and I leave the room with one hand dressed to warm up my cold cut body without being able to cope with the chills running down my back.

down the stairs in an attempt to take a bath permanently located in the inn,

"It's Charlina Goldie, who belongs to the" Knights of the King's Capital "and“ Division 1 ”. I received a report that a specially appointed person was lurking in this inn... sorry, may I search the inn, sir?

With a warrant in one hand, he found Charlina with a large number of knights lined up to be blocked in an armed state.

Lynn turned herself over and hid, but seeing the cold sweat of her husband, who was poked at a warrant, it was not hard to imagine that the search would soon reach out.

(sooner than I thought...... are you going to give me back my interest, Your Highness)

Determined that Lynn's response to setting Eve and the others in a trap,

"If you discover it, capture it promptly and carefully. Squad 1, Squad 2 search the ground floor, me and Squad 3 search the second floor. Well, nice to meet you, guys."

To Charlina's signal, the knights began to scatter and examine the guests and rooms without loss,

"Um, is Eileen really here, Colonel Goldie?

"First of all, I'm sure, Lieutenant Colonel Schneidel. Because this is the immediate sauce of His Royal Highness the Second Prince... Regardless of whether it has anything to do with what he said, he showed himself so that he could be noticed... if it's true that he didn't show a bare gesture of spreading a tail, I'm pretty sure he's here."

"... what if they were running away one foot away?

"Though how much" spiritual art ”can be used, it doesn't hold as much power as he did before, does it? I don't think it's possible to escape so easily on people's feet in front of them in full swing."

"... well, I hope... it's Irene who surpasses that. Be careful, Colonel Goldie."

Waving so lightly, Schneidel embarked on a search to the ground floor,

"... you had a sweet outlook"

Lynn, who did not expect to come out as far as Schneidel, sighs at making it even more difficult to escape, which must just be impossible, and returns to the room at first sight.

Take off your wet clothes and get dressed quickly, weave a coat that had been left unmade on the cot, and pull down to the window with only the gold coins you had left in your drawer and the sword you were raising on your hips and look downstairs.

Naturally, there are several knights watching outside the inn as well,

"... you're lucky it rained today."

Quietly open the window and speak of “spirituality”.

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

Letting absolute zero degrees of water pour out of the sky in such a way as to confuse it into the rain that it continued to shake, Lin jumped out of the window without hesitation, aiming for a moment when caution deviated from freezing water along with slight pain the moment it hit his body.

The water accumulated on the ground jumped and flew, but it was distorted by the water of the carriage that ran in front of them and was not audible to their ears.

Within unnoticed, Lynn hurriedly moved to sew her sight,

"Hey, lookouts! A few of you, come here!

"Oh, okay!

One hair at a time, the sound of armor running away at the same time as such interchange takes place behind his back, and the escape from the inn first succeeds, pulling out the strength of his shoulders.

(... a little too risky for you. I didn't expect you to take action so soon......)

Lynn's escape from the inn will probably be discovered soon.

In that case, now it's time to step up our total strength and embark on a search for Lynn, even if the residents suspect us.

It's just that Harnoyn hasn't even been found dead. Bet on the honor of the Knights and look for more to stop them from falling apart.

Before that happens, Lynn has to get out of town somehow.

"" Black Wings ”and" Elves ", make both eyes turn to" Knights of the King's Capital "... if you succeed, you can make as many gaps as you want"

Why did Lynn herself have to meet with Diechrist in a way that drew attention to her first step in creating the situation she wanted?

The risk is better prepared than the original.

However, difficulties and obstacles that exceed expectations are not easily overcome,

"... I just wanted to avoid borrowing his hand..."

Lynn ran away from people to get to the next lurking spot.
