Seirei no Moribito

Hiding from the rain ②

"... so he came to me,"

"... as long as you pay me, will you hide it for as many days as you want?

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind that. Heh heh, if you pay me... with some color on it."

Ahead of Lynn rushing in, where the informant Fier ostensibly runs a small liquor store, she replied as she slowly loosened her mouth to the pile of gold coins she received from Lynn.

All of Lynn's wealth, which she managed to collect in her inability to make as much money as she wished, was taken by the money-keeper Fir.

I wanted to put it off and rely on her because I knew this was going to happen. Lynn was forced to convince me that she had no choice but to sigh into the sweetness of her outlook,

"... I guess my information won't go any further sideways?

"Oh, I was aware, Lynn?

"Eve slipped his mouth. In their original plans, the" Elves "intended to request the help of the stray mercenary regiment" Sequence Trump Cards "… their characteristics, as their name suggests, are that they name and operate letters that mean numbers in ancient language - so is that correct, Fourth (Fier)?

To Lynn's assertive tone, Fir, who is known for his identity, smiles and affirms.

"You're right, Lynn. The fourth fiir of" Sequence Trump Card (Number's Card), "that's me... That said, right now I'm based in Wang Du and I'm an informant. I'm just an average person. It's not like the Elves don't have a lifespan or are driven by personal lust like the Knights of the Kings."

In a mild condition, Fia flaunted her shoulders,

"But you thought it was time for the tide... just like you guys walked through the neighborhood, and the store was folded up and the informer was planning on closing... I got hit with a dong patch here, and in the end you guys decided to reroute and bypass... I missed the opportunity, so this is still how I do the informer... that's just it"

"... that it has nothing to do with the 'Elves'?

"I am, yeah. Noyne, it looks like you have connections with the other staff member... but after that, is it about time that Ains had a variety of connections on each side? No, that was natural as our face. Except... I wonder if anyone's here. Because we are basically thin lovers drawn to the world we live in."

To her behavior, which doesn't look very good, Lynn sharpens her gaze slightly with a feeling of incomprehensibility.

Most of all, it's foolish to make the relationship worse with such trivial things, and then put it right back together, and then Lynn moves her body around looking annoyed by the unfamiliar outfits she's temporarily borrowed from Fia,

"So, Lynn? I'm hiding the money, so I was wondering if you could give me a little information?

"... isn't it all a prospect?

"You rarely get a chance to speak directly from a party, do you? Besides, objectivity and subjectivity are completely different things...... I've accommodated a lot of things for Lynn, so I was wondering if you could repay me for that?

"... you're just a guy who doesn't fall"

To the strong fia, Lynn zeroes a sigh of sigh and starts talking in retrospect about what happened after her encounter with Eve and the others a few days ago.

"... as you know, I haven't spoken much since there was an unexpected intervention. That Eve is working with the Second Prince to revolutionize, and that the Elves don't want any more extra power on the" Spirit Tree "side. At that time, Eve seemed foolish that it was becoming difficult because she was unlikely to be able to cooperate with the stray mercenaries, that's all."

"That's all you noticed about us, because I'm an informer and I think Lin's still in town... even if he rots, should he praise you as a former" culture commissioner ”?

"I don't know that fact. It's just annoying if you say so."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that"

Between the stories, Fia serves them right in front of her with a cup of coffee for both of them, and she makes a mild meeting before Lynn mouths the coffee.

while settling somewhere in its unique bitterness and aroma,

"Eve said she was coming back to see me, but she's not going to see him on my side. Swinging scattered around my surrounding thoughts... taking me outside who showed no interest or interest, and then having to deal with it... I don't understand why you think I'm honest with you."

"... they have an idea of their own, Lynn. So, out of disobedience, Lynn told those lies in front of the crowd, trying to use them for her own ends? Even if it's a lie, the enemy's eyes will be on you while you're being deceived."

"... it was Harnoyne who took me outside, and there is no such thing as the fact that someone kept me hidden. But... there is no lie in the last word. I don't know what kind of contract there was between Harnoyn and them, but as a result, Harnoyn was convicted by his peers as a criminal, and he doesn't even know where he is. If the body doesn't show up, it's alive... in the absence of such coverage anywhere, Eve didn't mention one thing about Harnoyne"

Lynn speaks in a thorny tone so much that she can tell it's frustrating from the eyes of a third party.

"... Normally, anyone thinks Harnoyne has been thrown away as a pawn... I'm sorry to give him extra thought and be thrown away as a pawn, even if he doesn't care about everything..."

"... it's strange, indeed, that the 'Knights' still haven't grasped his place. I would agree with Lynn if she was in the same position in that situation. Wrong, I can't... I can't tell you."

But, continuing the words, Fia embarked on the counter,

"It's a little too convenient, don't you think? Lynn was throwing out that she didn't care about everything... even if she swung around with other people's thoughts, if she was watching it for a while, she'd jump back now that it was more annoying... that's a selfish and arrogant idea just like them"

"... I'm aware of that too"

"Well, then I'll show my approval to Lynn. I don't know what Lin's purpose is, but the ship I boarded... I'll let you go out with me till the end."

To Fia, who meditates on one eye and laughs with tea glance, Lynn whines to do as she pleases, then puts on her cheek wand.

Phare, of course, gave it back and then put his mouth on the coffee,

"So? What the hell is Lynn trying to do with the 'Knights' consciousness to the margins?

"... I'm thinking of leaving the city"

"In the city?... If this is the case, that's one option. After you left the city, what did you decide?

"... I don't know. Not that far...... unthinkable"

Even if I choose to escape, I can't see the way forward.

Lynn, unable to solve it while tied to the matter in front of her, turned a blind eye to the distrust hidden in Fia's curiosity,

"... in the end, I guess I can't move on without knowing."

Puffiness and divulging what you know for yourself.

Fia slightly rounded her eyes to an unreliable voice like a weak sound,

"... As I said earlier, objective facts and subjective facts are surprisingly different. The story, which ends with the usual tragedy, may also have been a comedy for the parties. Though I often say death is salvation, guidance, maybe death was salvation for Lynn as well... I guess. Though I want to deny it."

"... you're telling me I should know?

"It's better to know than not. Choices are better for everything."

With a distant eye, Lynn gazed at her own face as it appeared in the coffee,

"... sure, maybe so.... If you don't know yourself, you just have to look for it and find the answer. I can't believe I don't care... maybe I couldn't throw it out."

than I chose of my own free will.

I added that in my heart,

"... Fia, do you know anything about this?

"... unfortunately, all this doesn't go with Lynn's request. Information is only truthful based on objectivity. People's feelings are the only feelings they know by guessing. Lynn, how did you act like that... Lynn is the only one who knows that again. All I can do is pick up emotions from the information I gather and connect them halfway... naturally, Lin can't convince you to that extent, can she?

"... we just have to get our memories back, or... how?

"That's it, come on, man. I know that Lynn's amnesia is a kind of price to pay for the resuscitation of the dead... but how does that connect to amnesia... I was wondering, too."

Distressed, Fia took a copy of the information she had previously given Lynn and spread it in front of her,

"It is only natural that the loss of power is the price of impossible“ magic ”exercises. It's also a recoil because the body couldn't stand the immensity of magic."

"… a body similar to the" Protector ", a memory loss caused by its disappearance by the” Spirit ", is a reasonable line..."

Lynn will also look into it and state the possibilities that come to mind.

"I lost what was constituted by the" Spirit "... did it contain memories there?

"Hmm, that's what caused Lynn to be shredded, so it's that possibility that comes to mind first... and now, not as much as before, thanks to the fact that the" Spirit ”is giving her protection, she manages to get back to the point where she doesn't interfere with her everyday life, right? So... don't you remember or dream about anything you should have forgotten lately?

"... I sometimes feel a sense of sight. Dreams... even if you were watching, you'd soon forget, I don't know."

"Then... is your subconscious rejecting that memory, or was the" Spirit "presiding over Lynn's memory... or was someone erasing your memory"

Lynn lurked her eyebrows at the noisy possibilities Fia shrugged,

"... if you remember, something inconvenient happened?

"... well, you think it's low, don't you? But to get rid of it altogether, this amnesia is a lot of mystery"

"... then think the other way around. Why the hell is Emilia Shenti amnesia the one who exercised the“ magic ”of resurrection of the dead..."

To get even one clue, Fia slapped her hand wondering if there was that hand in the way Lynn proposed,

"Even though resuscitation of the dead is nearly impossible in the first place, it's more unnatural that shortcomings exist in the feat of accomplishing it. Most of all, it is possible that shortcomings exist because of their difficulty… Amnesia, at a time of complete resuscitation in form with the exception of this point, it is obvious that it is complete“ magic "…"

"... intentional, rather than all that was an irresistible drawback...?... at least that“ magic ”formation or chant... if you can figure it out one way or the other, I can get a clue..."

"... Too bad. The only thing I've been able to find out is the content. Well, before that, even though it is part of the" Golden Ideal Theory, "it is too powerful, but therefore the sword of the blades that holds the defects together… If the defects are connected to the mystery of amnesia, make it a boulder. Everyone dreams and pursues once, but an insurmountable wall sits far ahead of that journey… that's the Golden Ideal Theory. If we look into it, we might not get to that mystery."

"... Still, we have to do it.... There should be one or more options, what is it?

To Lynn, who looks back at Fia with a frightening but slight grin on her mouth, she laughs with an attractive grin to give back, not to her expression, although she is surprised on the inside.

"Heh heh... If you hit me, Lynn's going to look into the Royal Library, and I'm going to visit the searcher.

Shall we?

"Looker? Who the hell..."

"You're alone. Lynn most likely knows the answer she wants, and she's not on her side, but she's not an enemy... someone who's been decided from the start."

Whoever Lynn is worried about for a while about Fia staring at Lynn with a smile on her face,

"... well, Harnoyn Goldie...!

"Correct. He also used the" Elves "for his own purposes... and even imitated them to betray the" Knights "who should have been on his side for that? You would have heard some information when entering into a temporary cooperative relationship, and to take the means to hold his weakness and blackmail him, something that makes him that ready... blackmail, contracts, he's a great match to do anything."

"So a faceless fia finds out where Harnoyn is as an informer... it does make sense..."

Lynn turned a skeptical eye on her,

"Do you have an in-laws to do that to you?

"I have no brother-in-law, but I have connections. Besides, this is part of my job as an informant. You know, there's no harm in knowing, and then there's money."

"... you're a moneyguard everywhere, you are"

"A compliment."

To her unchanged appearance, Lynn still sighed like a shudder, but at the same time relieved herself with a sense of reliance.
