Tearmoon Empire Story

Episode 69: Keith Wood Gains a Reassuring Side!

I wonder if you'd like some soup today.

There was a woman in the cooking area at night when it was not popular.

Rafina's maid, Monica.

Since she left the wind reed and became Rafina's maid, cooking a saintly evening meal has been an important part of her job.

Rafina's job is very demanding.

Rafina gave up the president of the student council to Meer, but she was still busy.

Verga's task is not only to perform rituals. Sometimes in front of the students, they unravel the divine scriptures, and sometimes they hold secret talks with the towns of other countries.

This is part of the easing of tensions between Sancland and the Riding Kingdom last year, but there is always a heavy responsibility on her shoulders to maintain peace and stability on the continent.

Even more, it was a snake.

The mental stress was unimaginable.

Rafina can be too busy to eat. At that time, it was Monica's job to prepare the evening meal.

But... of course, it doesn't mean anything. It's good for your body, and yet it's delicious. It is her wish that you heal your mind and body a little.

Cut the vegetables quickly and simmer them slowly... they smell good... and I suddenly feel the signs of people.

"Whoa!?"

With a sharp voice, Monica was holding a vegetable knife nearby. Hold it in the opposite hand and pay attention to the mysterious signs that suddenly appeared so that I could respond at any time.

I didn't even think about the possibility that the students who came to drink water because they were thirsty... but I felt suspicious that they were half clear. but......

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.”

"You are... Lord Keithwood"

With a bitter smile, Keith Wood, the only loyal servant of Theon Saul Sancland, appeared. Apparently, he was on the alert.

"Was there anything... like coming to the cafeteria at such a time?"

"No, that's my line... Miss Monica"

Gently, Keith Wood's eyes nailed to a pot on fire.

Lady Monica, what's that?

"... vegetable soup, though."

"Vegetable soup...!?"

Tsk tsk! Looking at Keith Wood, who was shocked, Monica tilted her neck.

Is that so surprising? ".

"I'm sorry to say this... but if you don't mind, could you give me a bite of that soup?"

"... erm...? Are you hungry?"

It is Monica who is told something unexpected and inadvertently becomes vegetarian. "Well, at the time of my visit to the cafeteria at night, I thought so..."

"Oh, no, it's not like that." I don't know what to say... "

Keith Wood gave an unusual, panicked smile.

Well then, Master Rafina, let's take a look at the poison before you bring it to me.

Monica transfers the soup from the pot to the cup.

Keith Wood soothed it terrified as he steamed it....

"Wow, that's amazing! That's a decent flavor!"

"Um... are you being sold for quarrels right now?"

Even then, it's Monica.

"Oh, excuse me. It wasn't like that, it was very delicious, so I guess I was a little surprised..."

"Geez, Keithwood's face is so serious here..."

"No, at this time, it's better to ask honestly." Miss Monica, I have something to tell you. Would you mind spending some time with me after this? ”

Monica stared back at Keith Wood, who said such a thing with a serious face, with a strange face...

Maybe you're dictating something?

"No, that's not it..."

and Keith Wood, who was in a hurry to deny it.

Monica bursts out in an unexpected desperate desperation for reinforcements that suddenly appeared in the dead.

"This is a joke, Lord Keithwood." However, many of Rafina's servants are not familiar with the palace. It would be wise not to say anything that would mislead them. ”

"I-I see... that's true."

Keith Wood nods with a real face. While smiling at it, Monica looked at the soup.

“I see. After I take the soup to Rafina-sama, I'll have a little time, so can you wait here for a while?”

Monica asked, nodding one or two times, and it was Keith Wood.

"Now..."

Monica, who quit Rafina's room, said, "What the hell is going on?" While tilting his neck, he returned to the cooking area.

Keith Wood, who was waiting for the law, seemed to be staring at the Goddess of Salvation.

Monica smiled bitterly as she heard about the situation...

― ― If Rafina-sama is the originator, failure is unacceptable. Besides, we should make it a success so that Rafina can enjoy it too.

Just a little bit of temper.

"There are many children in the special elementary school together." Isn't it a good idea to split up into groups and have one person in each group who can teach you well? "

"I see... you mean to destroy each one of them?"

"A wrinkle between my eyebrows, mum, to the roaring Keith Wood..."

"...... Sir Keithwood, I'm running out of time to choose my words."

It is Monica who calmly puts in the tsukumi. Then, lean your neck slightly...

Perhaps Lord Keithwood isn't very good at power plotting?

"Hahaha, I wish I could..."

"Don't be ashamed. The Knights of Sancland should think first and foremost about defeating their enemies with the righteous blade. but...."

Then Monica quietly thought about it.

After this, Keith Wood will know.

Handcrafted hand control of wind reeds. Skillfully manipulating the opponent's mind, the essence of intelligence warfare.
