Seirei no Moribito

Longevity fate ①

The rainy season we visit each year was also the worst time for Elise.

"Ahhh... you don't like rainy days because you don't feel so good ~..."

"I'm saying the same dialogue... finally, Elise doesn't like rainy season, does she? Are you tired?"

"Mm-hmm... this is all - I can't wipe it after hundreds of years, because it's traumatic"

In an abandoned house in the back streets used as a temporary base by the 'Elves' infiltrated the Wang capital, Elise looks up through the upstairs windows and exhales depressingly, and Lulurier, the same town, who sees how it is, returns that way in a hazy breeze.

With three unwrought braids of brown hair, she was always dressed to suit the city, and today she wrapped a cloth around her head in her typical city daughter's outfit and went out to explore the city in such a way as a servant helping her parents.

Purpose, of course.

"Lulurier, found?"

"... sucks, sucks. I can't find him! What is it, that? Make fun of me...... are you making fun of me?... So much so that I really think about it, no one has a clue. You're talented in a way to be scratching our" Elves "eyes so far. It's a waste of talent."

"... indeed - I can't believe Lulu or Al couldn't find you - Mr. Harnoyn is an amazing person"

Discovery of Harnoyn Goldie, who entered into a cooperative relationship and remained missing since he fulfilled his promise, and became a nominee arranger.

Even though Al and Lulurier are desperately searching for it, Elise admires them for not letting them achieve one thing.

"Hey, Elise? I'm saying it like some other HR, because it's not another HR at all, is it?

"Yeah, I'm fine. I know exactly what you mean, Lulu. If you can't find him, you won't see Rio Nez, will you?"

"... well, that's okay... hmm? Elise, did you stop calling me“ Mr. Rio ”about Rio?

"Yeah. Hey, there's a lot going on... for a while, I just got to call it by its normal name."

"... Elise sometimes comes in naturally, doesn't it? Nah, I think the good things are deluded..."

To a slightly missing smile unusual, Lulurier gives up pursuit, takes a cloth towel of his head and looks up at the sky in the same way next to Elise.

To the colour of the sky mixed in cloudy weather patterns, Lulurier glanced over his shoulder as he peeked at the side of Elise,

"... doing fine, that girl?

"Yeah, I laugh fun every day - Garnett... I've been looking at the sky - I've been watching the rain all morning -... oh, and studying properly -, it's amazing. Garnett, I'm absorbing more and more of what I've taught you..."

"Oh, yes, yes... if you're firm, that's fine, I am. I don't know how I'm going to live, but if I don't regret choosing my own path, so be it."

Shift your gaze to the side, Lulurier with a cheek wand.

Feeling such an unlike throw at her, Elise circled the thought as she tilted her neck wondering if something had happened,

"... Lulu, what happened?

There was absolutely no verse I could think of, so I asked him to go straight in.

Lulurier sighed at Elise, who hasn't changed his mind after hundreds of years, saying it was only this time that he was frightened,

"... nothing. I just have a bad feeling."

"A bad feeling?... that you can't find Mr. Harnoyn?

"Yes... because anything is ridiculous. We're looking for the same thing, and the Knights can't even find one clue... they're barking at the possibility of death, and they're fishing to the bottom of the river... but they can't find it."

To put it this far, even a dull elise has an idea of what it means.

"... hidden by a third party... that sort of thing?

"... that's a mystery though. Why does the“ Guardian "hide... need to be captured? Well... it's not like I don't know."

At last, Elise felt the smell in Lulurier and made sure it wasn't popular around her.

"... that involves talking about Mr. Harnoyn's precious sibling... who died once, right?"

Mention past events that I learned from the pure questions I asked the two of you when I protected them as promised.

Lulurier nodded quietly,

"... a series of disturbances wrapped around Baron Goldie's house... the two people who went missing should have been curtained for committing suicide before. … it was Harnoyn Goldie who overshadowed such a reality, but the method is unknown…"

"Mm-hmm... you mean you dyed your hands against the banning technique? But the price of the banning technique is nothing...

Is that what Lulu wonders? "

"... in Mr. Cain's story, that“ magic ”remains the same as it was created by Master Gloeidin. It doesn't change the conditions that require a huge amount of magic and a price... then even if that Harnoyn guy uses it, the reality is impossible right now. Most of all, Mr. Cain is the only one with the magic, and he doesn't have a chance to do it... plus he's getting less and less convinced."

"... Sure, Mr. Harnoyn is an amazing man, but that's as far as the Knights of the King's Capital fit in."

"Now, um... Eileen, was it? The guy, too, Al said it was a success but at a terrible price. It makes it impossible, so it's a natural risk and a price."

But Lulurier went on to say,

"... we've known for a long time how to bring the dead back to life."

"... yeah. You know, the master... you know."

"... then Tsujitsu will fit. There are people who know they're dead, and for some reason, they can't even find a body.... Al's been looking for you on that line since yesterday."

"... so it's only a matter of time before I'm convinced of everything?"

If Elise brightens up to change the subject, Lulurier also nods from a tired look to a reliable grin filled with confidence.

There are places where I can't read my mind a little bit, but we all know Al's strength is the best of his hometown.

If I leave it to him, he'll reveal everything.

With such absolute trust and a little anticipation, Elise lay on the couch she'd picked up because she was about to be discarded by stretching her round back,

"By the way, Lulu, how long should I stay locked up? I've been feeling a little cramped by the boulders."

"Uh... yeah... now that I'm on the escort, Elise is my replacement... can I ask you to search for the other one?

"... that? Didn't you find it?"

"... was scattered. The knight pushed me into the inn where I was staying and ran off to the liquor store... and from there, I didn't know where I was going. I thought it might be hidden there, so I snuck in when I was away, but nobody was there... but now I can't throw out the possibility that I'm based there, either..."

To Lulurier, who grumbles so with a bitter look, Elise thinks of his face, which has happened before, as she thinks it is rare for her to fail to tail him.

named Irene and apparently a favorite of Iselia. Unfortunately, he is one of the best not only among the students of the institution but also among the "wind discipline commissioners,"

"... I remember nature and all that, even if I lost my memory and power."

"Elise?"

"Rioness said," No matter if you lose your memory, if you lose the power you had, you can never forget what your body remembered once... even if you don't remember, if you cross the line, you can't go back any longer - and vice versa, no matter how hard you try, you can't forget what you want to forget... but one day you will forget. Al, you're trying not to forget, and Lulu and Rioness, that's the same thing ~ … "

But I'm not.

I tried to say that, but I swallowed the word that I couldn't worry about Lulurier's caring glance,

"Leave it to me, Lulu. Hiding the signs is my specialty, Al, and I can take it behind you."

"... I knew Elise would look better laughing at the potent weather... so that's how you're gonna take Al's back and wake Al up complacent, right?

"Well, even you, Al, are hostile to my secret, and I want to brag to Rio Nez."

to Elise laughing confidently with no breasts up. Lulurier raised his voice and laughed,

"Well, I'll take care of it. I'm going to report it to my senior. Finally, we'll see how things are going with the example siblings. I hope they don't find my brother again."

"Yeah, good luck, Lulu."

To Elise, who supports Lulurier's concerns, she exhales in trouble at the end before going downstairs.

In a alone quiet space where only the sound of rain echoes, Elise meditates her eyes round like a cat,

(... I want to forget, so I'm not touching you like you didn't have anything - Lulu)

Always unpleasant events happen on rainy days.

Elise doesn't want to forget memories that have overlapped with centuries of her life.

Just trying to remember makes me unforgettable. So I don't recall.

I dare to try to remember because even so conscious I will still be unforgettable.

But still unforgettable, the answer that came back telling Rio Ness about the problem is that word.

(The wound, time weathers me...... but I guess I'll never forget it again because it just rains and I start to associate it with it)

Rain sounds to someone's scream, cloudy weather to cloudy red on one side of the sky, shaking from it to blood.

I can't help remembering every time it rains. In the past, Elise pointed at her lips saying it was a serious injury,

(... I want to see you, Rio... Rio, you're working hard too... so I have to work hard too ~)

All right, and get up in the mood.

Because if he doesn't take over Lulurier altogether, he'll devour his senior eyeballs, and Elise jumps out the window more than usual with enough temper.

I knew I'd think of a piece of the past behind my brain to the sound of tapping the ground and echoing.

"… I am I,"

She disappeared quietly all over the city just because she was traumatized doesn't mean she was afraid.
