After that, I couldn't explain everything, but I told everyone that me and Mr Viviana, plus Lieutenant Liberto, would be away from here on assignment for about a week.

Tina also asked me what kind of assignment it was, but I didn't tell her exactly.

Tina seemed dissatisfied, but she didn't listen any deeper.

And after dinner, I'm going back to my room with Mr. Elena.

"Ha, I was really scared earlier..."

"Haha, it feels like Tina won't be able to see around when it comes to Eric either"

Elena says that in a bit of a bitter laugh, too.

Well, I think Mr. Viviana is sorry that I said something to make you mistake this time.

That guy wants you to hold on a little tighter.

"Was it from two mornings later? We're leaving."

"Yes, it is. So tomorrow it feels like we're going to be ready."

"You've been away from here for a week. It's hard to do a mission. Good luck."

"Thank you"

Oh, Mr. Elena's been really healing lately.

I wonder if this is what a single husband looks like.

Whoa, calm down. I have a beloved woman named Irene. Besides, Mr. Elena is a man.

"Then turn off the lights. Good night, Eric."

"Yes, good night"

Before the lights went out, I fell asleep when I saw Elena's gentle smiling face diving into the bed next door.

And - two mornings later.

I was up earlier than usual.

Get out of bed and get ready to leave as soon as possible.

It's almost done within yesterday, so I'll just check it out and make sure it's all right.

Looking next door, Mr. Elena was still asleep.

I always woke up early this past month because of a lot of morning training, etc., but I never woke up earlier than Mr. Elena.

When I woke up, I was already out of the bath, and I was just getting ready.

That's why I see Elena's sleeping face for the first time.

He sleeps very peacefully with an unusual face.

My mouth was half-opened and my yodale was dripping a little.

I've never seen such a defenseless face before, so my laughter spills somehow.

Let me wipe your yodale, so I can stroke that soft looking hair a little bit.

That's how I approached Mr. Elena and tried to reach out.

"Huh... Good morning, Eric"

"Oh, good morning"

But the moment I stood next to the bed, Mr. Elena opened her eyes patchy.

Surprised, though I thought I was asleep.

"Excuse me, did I wake you?

"Yeah, I'm fine. 'Cause I'm always up about this much."

I get up in a motion I don't think I'm sleeping so hypersensitive, and I stretch out, "Hmmm..."

"Eric is fast, too. Oh, shit, you're on a mission today."

"Yes, it is"

"Good luck. Don't get hurt."

"Thank you"

When Elena says that with a smile on her face, she's very motivated.

We have to do it right.

"Well, I'm coming"

"Yeah, come on in"

Grab your stuff and leave the room. Mr. Elena smiled and waved at me to the end.

A short walk out of the dorm has already stopped the carriage.

Take the carriage for a week or so.

When I get there, there's already some people around the carriage.

"Yo, Eric. Nice morning."

"Oh, Christ. It's a very good morning."

Exchange words with Cristo and fist each other.

I've been doing this since my last life, it's our own greeting.

Even in this world, Cristo told me to do it.

The reason, he said, "is because I would have liked to have done it if I had friends".

You're not my friend if you don't listen to this.

"Good morning, Eric. Did you sleep well?

"Yes, Mr. Yelle. Slowly now."

Looks like Mr. Yelle dropped us off, too.

Next door is Mr Liberto, who is the deputy head of the delegation and is the leader of this one.

"Hey Eric. You look good in the morning."

"Mr. Liberto, are you hungover?

"That's not true. I know it's an important task, so I made sure I didn't leave it the next day."

So you're saying you drank even the day before your important assignment? You're the same.

Next to Cristo was the maid Alisa.

I try not to put it on my face, but I stare at Cristo looking very worried.

"Good morning, Alisa"

"Oh! Good morning, Master Eric"

All of a sudden he looked surprised to be talked to, but he immediately rebuilds and bows beautifully.

You don't have to treat me like that.

"No, if you mean Christopher's friend, that's not why"

Dear Christopher?

I already know that this guy calls me a shadow, or Christo and I alone, and I call him by my nickname.

"Are you worried about Cristo?

"... Yes, especially this time"

This time we are going to the kingdom of the demons, the Harzion kingdom.

The Demons are belligerent, and the Kingdom of Harzion is not such a country, but it is now in a very precarious state.

It would be natural to worry.

"I promise, Mr. Alisa"

"What is it?

"I'll be sure to protect Crist. I promise to return safely without one scratch."

"Huh!... Nice to meet you, Master Eric"

Alisa bows deeply to me again.

"Yes, I'll take care of it"

"Master Eric, please be safe. Be sure to keep your eye on yourself because you are Crist's only friend."

"Okay."

I ate a little side because I didn't think they would even mention me, but I knew this guy was still a sweet guy.

You also know Crist falls in love.

I thought it was time to leave, but one more hasn't come. It's Mr. Viviana.

Time is already critical, but maybe you slept with him?

It's possible, that guy is going to do it.

"Thank you for waiting -!

I can hear loud voices from afar at the arrow tip I thought.

When I looked at you, I waved and there was Viviana coming over here and Tina with a big load next door.

Hmm? Why is Tina here, too?

"Mr. Viviana, it's a little late"

"I'm sorry -. I got a little prepped."

"Really, why is Tina here too?

Mr Yerre is asking Mr Viviana a question.

"Eh, I always wake up early to make breakfast, but I woke up with you today because I knew Mr. Viviana had to wake up too. So we were getting ready together."

"I slept early yesterday to get up early, but I slept too early and forgot to get ready for today."

Mr. Viviana, seriously.

I want you to hold on a little longer, really.

Well, he's about to be vice president of the Magic Knights, so I guess he's got the strength.

"What I'd like to ask is why Tina also knows about this top-secret mission."

Oh, yeah. I didn't tell Mr. Yelle that I told Tina and the others about the assignment.

"Mr. Yelle, I'll explain."

"Eric, you did?

It would be quicker for me to say this than Mr. Viviana would explain.

I told Tina and the others last night that I had to explain my assignment because of Mr. Viviana's rudeness.

When asked to explain, Mr. Yelle sighed small and glared at Mr. Viviana a little.

"Please hold on, Mr. Viviana. If it's true, I'd leave it to Anne to preach, but it's time, so I'll do it when I get back."

"Ugh, I get it..."

Mr. Viviana is easily depressed with her tongue out and a disgusting face.

No, I think you just deserve it.

"Eric, who knows about the mission?

"Tina and Julina, and Elena."

"Are those three alone for sure?

"Yes."

"Okay, I think those three will be fine, but I'll tell them not to talk about it later"

"Excuse me, please"

I'm finally ready, so I'm gonna try to leave.

Crist rides the carriage first.

Until the end, Mr. Alisa stared anxiously.

"Eric! Mr. Viviana! Come back safely!

"Oh, thank God"

"Tina's not well either."

Tina smiles and drops me off.

"Eric, you, Mr. Viviana, Liberto. Good luck for the next week. I think it's a dangerous country, so don't get hurt."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Me and Viviana respond to Mr. Yelle's words, but Mr. Liberto does not respond as a nigga.

"Come on, Yelle. I didn't decorate it with such beautiful words. Say it properly."

"I don't mean to."

"I'm more powerful with that tone of Yelle."

What are you talking about?

I don't know, Mr. Yellet sighs - staring at us.

I felt stunned and tightened at once.

"You guys."

It is not a voice that speaks to the usual kindness of Mr. Yelle, but a low voice that echoes in the back of his chest.

"It's an order - don't die, go home alive"

"Ha! Roger that!

To Mr Yellet's words, Mr Liberto returns them with pleasure.

I was stunned, too, but I feel that word stabbed me very hard in the chest.

"Yes, I get it!

"Got it -!

Me and Mr. Viviana respond strongly, too.

That is how we left the Kingdom of Begonia and made our journey to the Kingdom of Harzion.
