Section 10: Friends

"Yuhanna told me. Dark Purple Knight, Master Hadion, right?

Lady Eichel corrected her residence and turned to Saluena.

"I don't know. Beyond a thousand years, I have now promised the Goddess, and I have given my sword to the Iries. Earlier he called the Iries heroes, but he would have crushed one eye of the dragon and weakened it by wounding his hands. If so, I think it's working admirably again, but why do you regret it?

After a sharp Saluena gaze, Lady Eichel stiffened herself. Grab your fist on your knees and bite your lips.

"... I had to take down that dragon. At that time, in that place. If I could have done that, I wouldn't have bothered everyone..."

The words revealed from the trembling lips are painted with remorse.

"I don't think it's annoying. Well, at first, I wondered why you didn't knock me down. Toslin said something really bad."

But in response to those words, it was Carol's bright, prolonged voice that returned.

"Whoa! Stop it! You're going to ruin me and my house!! You don't know who you're dealing with!?

"Huh? I know, don't I? King of this country...... Prince, right?

... Carol, didn't you almost say princess now?

"But come on, how many brave men are you, and you can't do everything?"

"You're right. It's arrogance to assume it's all your fault. If you care too much, they'll squash you for blame."

Saluena said that with a more serious look than usual.

(... well, even Saluena so strong couldn't defeat Auschnell, could she?)

Not everyone is omnipotent. I know that better than anyone, Saluena, so I guess I can't help but speak up.

"Besides... I appreciate that. Because I missed the dragon, I was needed by Iris, and here I am."

"Oh, yeah, yeah. That's right. It did surprise me, and it was so hard on top of that, but no one has lost their lives..."

"I almost got killed by you."

"Damn, and as a result, the villagers in Lelton were delighted. He said you could make a lot of money selling dragon meat and scales."

"Oh, I guess we're starting to dismantle the dragon by now. If you go around the summer, you'll get the materials, right? I'm so excited!!

"Summer hot springs are good for wind currents."

"Phew, right"

"Hey, don't ignore me"

As we laughed at each other for tea, the look on Eichelle's face when she saw it softened only a little.

"... if you say so, you will be saved. And at the same time, I'm counting on you..."

"You can always tell me if you have a monster you want the Atasis to take down, right? Just give me the money and I'll go anywhere and take you down."

"Haha, that would be nice"

"Mr. Carroll, we're not mercenaries."

"I know, you're an adventurer"

"No, before you do, be aware that you are part of the Knights"

"Hih!? Rose pissed me off!? Help me, Toslin. I'm gonna get my ass slapped again!

"Oh, I won't do that. Yo! I'm just encouraging awareness..."

Mr. Rose can play shaggy carols. I opened my mouth and laughed as I watched that sight, which seemed to look closely and was actually unusual.

Oh, did you do a little bit? Lady Eichel looks at me and puts her eyes on the patch.

"... are you guys always like this?

"Uh, yes. Right. Let's all eat together, make a scene, and go to sleep. It's like that."

"Nice, that sounds so... fun"

Lady Eichelle glanced back at the Shaggy Carols, saying so, and gave them a very eye-catching look.

"The prince doesn't have company?

"Companion... companion? I don't have company in the sense of being with you all the time and having the same adventure all the time, do I? Sometimes it feels like recruiting someone to fight with."

"Phew, when you're a brave man, you mean you pick out your people."

"... is not like that either..."

In the wake of Laplice's words, Lady Eichel laughed bitterly.

"What, are you a little drunk? Just go outside and chill your head, okay?

Toslin said so, opening the window and throwing Peppe Laplice.

"Whoo-hoo!? What the hell are you doing, falling, falling, what floor do you think you're on?

"You can fly."

Tighten the windows chatteringly and tighten the curtains sassy.

I heard banging on the window for a while, but eventually I couldn't hear it either. No way, you didn't really fall, did you?

"So, are you okay?

Master Achel also looks at the windows alternately with Toslin in a worrying manner.

"It's okay. Killing him won't kill him."

"Oh, really... If so, I'm still proud of you. Because that's all I trust."

"... ha, well... maybe that's true in a way"

Toslin gave it back like that, looking a little lighter. I look at her with cheeks. Lady Eichelle's side is also a little lonely...... So I guess, I was speaking up when I realized.

"Um, if you don't mind"

"Hmm?"

"Would you like to continue to gather like this for tea for all of us"

To my words, Lady Eichel blinked her eyes again.

"... me? With you guys?

"Oh, excuse me. I'm not sure how to do it in the castle, so suppose I said something rude..."

"No, it's not. Um... I was wondering if it was okay. Because I'm a man."

Oh, I did. I forgot too because it doesn't look too much like that. Indeed, the scandal may arise when Master Eichel, who is supposed to be a man, is in our room many times.

"Then we should do it in church, not here. Nominal, yeah. The training of swords...... but just keep it"

"Oh, that could be really good. What do you say, Master Eichel?"

"Well, does that training... not only mean pre-construction, but also does it really just wear it?"

Look at me, and look at Saluena, with a face such as seriousness itself.

"I only teach swords within me, below Rosalis"

"Sister."

"... but if I say no to that, apparently my sister will piss me off. Therefore, this is called an exchange condition."

"If it's something I can do, I'll do it. If you are said to be the strongest of mankind and can still be guided by the highest peak and the founder of the prestigious sword moves"

No way, Saluena, you're not gonna tell me to join the Knights or anything, are you? I'll let the boulders refuse, okay?

"Then I want you to be my friend to the Iries. As it stands, only the Knights of the White Lilies, led by Yuhanna, and the Church can be considered allies in this king's capital."

I don't know if the prayer in my sight went through, but Saluena's suggestion wasn't so abrupt.

No, what an extra honor for you and your friends.

"Are you sure about that? I was going to do it more than that, so there's something else..."

"That's all I ask for. But more than that, this promise will be heavy. If that's okay, I'll teach you the sword."

"... ok"

Master Achel looks at me and makes me laugh.

"So it may sound kind of familiar, but will you be my friend?"

I kind of remember when my parents brought me to the park and told me to play with this kid. Needless to say, it was Micaña at that time.

"Yes...... That, of course."

As I remembered the old days, I shook the hand of Lady Eichelle, whom I was offered.

Thus, in the presence of the priest and the knight, we became friends.

And the next day.

I'm waiting for Mr. Rosé at the entrance to the castle tomorrow morning.

Five minutes to keep your back on the pillar and wait while you can turn a strange eye on the patrolling guard.

"Oh, I'm sorry to keep you waiting"

Rosé comes down the stairs in her personal clothes, not in her usual armor and robe. A loose cardigan like a pale green stall on a white piece. And enamel pumps.

"Wow, those clothes... they're so cute"

"Oh, really? Oh, Mr. Iris is so cute, too."

No, no, I'm some kind of roadside stone compared to Mr. Rosé's cuteness. As much as that, Mr. Rosé in his personal clothes was adorable.

Well, why are the two of us meeting up right now as if it were a date.

"Well, shall we come?"

"Yes, a date with Mr. Rosé. I'm looking forward to it."

Like...... not because we're really going to have a date.
