--The castle, the garden.

The night book fell, and the stars lit up the garden.

A place I've faced many times before.

And that day. ― ― Where Fouta was welcomed as a guest at the castle.

But I can't afford to immerse myself in sentiment.

Because.

The blunt sound of swords swinging through the garden has already been heard many times.

"--there!!

Royal Swordsmanship: Thunder Grijmod

Lilac's blow to the lawn grabs Huta's neck.

The boulder Futa also played her sword against Konzesh.

A storm of relentless pricks chasing her out of balance.

Mimicry: Lilac M. Fangini - The court's best swordsmanship: rain Deschtes

Gu...

This technique, which can be dealt with in normal times, was impossible to posture immediately after the shooting was decided.

Still, he overtook the meeting with the five and six, and at the end he ended up playing konzesh.

As he danced through the sky, Huta grabbed the falling konzesh and gave it to a lilac on his knees.

"I'm still here, too. Too distracted to go to the decision."

"No, I had to play the blow I had previously just avoided. I'm steadily raising my arms, Lilac."

"... I see. I'm a little happy to hear that."

With a gentle smile, Lilac serves Konzesh.

I exchanged swords in this place over and over again.

Lilac raises her arm every time, Futa thinks.

For example, it was because "superior" had not appeared before.

Above all, it is indispensable to have a presence equal to that of oneself in order to improve the drilling.

In this world, except for one Fouta.

"Now, shall we finish? Today was a good time."

Good work, Lilac.

We're each other.

Giggling and smiling, she can't see the temper or the fighting spirit.

Lighted by the stars.

Reaching out to the kneeling lilac, she took the hand with a gentle movement.

Stand up and exhale at close range.

Due to the softness of the atmosphere, Futa stroked her chest down.

"Good."

"... what's wrong?

Oh, no.

Lilac, who noticed the subtlety of Futa's emotions, looks up at him from his chest.

The pale eyes reflect on the stars and sparkle.

The half-eye, with its eyelids slightly lowered, did not try to conceal its suspicions.

She became more straightforward with her emotions and more expressive than she thought. Still, along with its icy beauty, it had a younger look than I had expected.

"Huta, you're not hiding something from me?

Oh no. It's not a big deal. "

"... I decide whether it's a big deal or not. By the way,"

Raise the corner of your mouth with your half-eye still. I continued with a mean expression.

"Don't you want me to trust you?

Ugh

"I can't put up with hiding things from you. Whatever happens, you need to know more."

"... I see. I will be honest and honest about everything."

"Yes, even if the result is detrimental to me."

Lilac finally took a step backwards, nodding her feet.

Fouta, who finally realized that she was stuck, realized that it didn't matter.

"Ah"

"Now what?"

"No... I see. Honestly. Honestly. Even if Lilac is at a disadvantage."

"Yes, that's right."

"... the look on Lilac's face at close range was younger and cuter than I thought."

"Sooner....."

Lilac took another step back.

And coughed up a little. Even though there is a starlight, I can't see my expression if I stay away a little. In Lilac's case, it was a retreat method that was launched from a palliative calculation.

"... even if there was a disadvantage, I was the one who said so. Forgive me.... I don't care about that. What was that strange relief?"

"Ah, yes.... you don't feel better during the day? Because I looked kind of in a good mood. I'm glad it's not like that now."

"... I see. Certainly."

Lilac nodded convincingly.

Then step forward and walk towards the position where you can see the face of the lid.

The expression had returned to calm.

"Huta was right, you weren't in a good mood. The disadvantages overlap."

"Is that a disadvantage? Is there anything I can do to help?

"What are you saying? Enough, thanks to you, I feel better now."

Really?

"What's wrong with you?

"I wonder if this is the right thing to do."

"- Get it. People's sense of what their strengths do is dull. But that's what it's all about. Even if it's" that kind of thing "for you, it's a big thing for me. You know what I mean?

"... okay."

In this world of "professions," it is painfully understandable.

I don't know about Futa, but I'm sure Primes have never had trouble boiling the audience.

She has as a matter of course what Fouta couldn't get for no matter how hard she tried.

"That's why I feel most comfortable with you. Even if you're wrong, you don't have time to give up to Richter. Understood?

Ah, yes.

In my heart, I apologized to Richter and predicted that I would decline many times in the future.

And so Futa remembered the conversation with Richter during the day.

You are not irrelevant at the earliest. I mean, you already told me. Even I'm about to receive a war budget from His Majesty the King. "

I'd like you to give me a break. I'm not in a position to say that. "

Your Majesty and the militants are bigger than my aristocrats. If I go to Congress, my opinion will be blocked. "

"Speaking of which, Lilac. I talked to Richter today."

"Well, did you say no?

"That's not what I'm talking about. No, I refused."

I wonder how much it has on its roots.

I was a little worried.

Nevertheless.

This topic is heavy. Fouta made up her mind and slowly opened her mouth.

"... you think it's going to be a war?"

Staring at Lilac.

Then she cut off her beautiful hair and let it go.

"Oh, I won't let you."

Eh?

"Did Richter say anything else?

"Ah, yes. Anything else? As Lord Treasurer, as a nobleman, I want you to give up the war."

"... uhh"

Lilac glanced gently.

"I see. That's usually convenient."

Really?

"Yeah, let's do that. Especially since Lord Treasurer has been crying at me through you. - Of course, it has nothing to do with the arrangement."

Wink small and Lilac smiles.

Futa had no way of knowing how much information was moving in her head.

Still, she was relieved that the denial of war had burst out of her mouth.

There was also a feeling that Richter would be caught in the eye again.

It's a trivial thing compared to war.

"I'm going to be busy. There are a few things I would like to work out for your return. That's why there's less of a deal."

"No, I'm fine. Good luck."

"... yeah"

Lilac also understood that Lilac was starting to make plans that were probably bigger than what happened to Futa.

So, if Lilac doesn't call for help,

Until then, be there whenever she wants to rest.

I'm not bored. I mean, if you go back to your room, she'll be there.

"By the way, Futa."

On his way home, Lilac looked back and asked.

"What is it?

"Am I a child?"

Eh?
