Tensei Oujo wa Kyou mo Hata o Tatakioru

After all, I couldn't find any clues that could lead to the Demon King.

Even if you look around the temple or talk to the people involved in the construction, you can't get any remarkable information, and you'll be missed.

The next day, I returned to the fort, dropping my shoulders and shoulders, and switched my mind to work again tomorrow.

I was standing stunned while watching the snow blowing with the heavy wind sound like the sound of the earth.

Today's weather, a rainstorm. It is rare in this area located in the north.

God, what did I do?

"It may be obvious, but we are not allowed to go out today."

Standing beside me standing by the window, said in an office tone, Deputy Commander Isaac Walter.

He is reflected in the glass, with no expression like Noh mask. Despite that, I felt like I wasn't taking care of it.

It's okay.

I have a reputation for recklessness, but I don't have the courage to go out in a snowstorm.

"Yes. I'm going to be quiet today."

"If so, it's fine."

I moved my gaze out of the window to me, and Vice Commander Wolter briefly stated.

"The captain will not return until tomorrow. If you have any help, please tell me."

"Don't you, Captain?"

"It seems that his wife is not in good shape."

"eh!?"

When he lifted his face, he was slightly surprised.

After he looked away as hesitant, he looked down and exhaled a sigh.

"I've heard before that when the weather gets bad, I'm sick.

"Is that so"

Surely the weather is bad, but many people get sick. I was often suffering from headaches because of atmospheric pressure.

Is it okay ... I'm worried. The weak will be able to withstand this cold.

If the case of the Demon King calms down, let's ask Wolf once if he can see you. You may be told that it is not your pharmacist's turn, because you are not sick but rather weak from birth. Let's just talk.

"When you're calm, let's ask if you can visit us."

Leonhardt suggested you to see me worried.

Nodding, he stopped trying to stroke my head in a natural way. Probably the remnants of his brother's pretend. Realizing that he was not his brother now, he shook his laughter and waved his unfocused hand. Cute, finally, picky. My vocabulary is dead.

"If you can stay in the fort, you are free to leave. I am in the office, so please call me if you have anything."

Ignoring our communication, Vice Commander Wolter proceeds.

Even if you say you like to spend it, you can wander around when you're at work. I wonder if I'll read quietly. Or ...

"If there is anything I can help ..."

"No thank you"

The reluctantly raised hand was rejected in seconds.

Des Yone. I knew.

Without the wind that bothered me with a dry laugh, Vice Commander Wolter looked at Leonhardt with an expression that came to mind.

"Dr. Orcein. If you like it, would you like to see the training of your subordinate? I want you to teach me. "

"It doesn't matter"

Leonhardt looked down at me, looking down a bit at trouble. He's coming as my escort and probably thinks he can't leave me alone.

So I thought. Leonhard has a wonderful plan that can fulfill his mission and fulfill my desires.

"I also want to visit."

"No"

My statement was rejected again in seconds. I can't understand.

Leonhard wrinkles between his eyebrows and says no.

"Even a mock sword with a crushed blade can be a minor injury if it hits. It is dangerous."

I do not want to miss the chance to see Leonhard's cool appearance. But he knew he wasn't likely to nod.

"I'm near your Highness while Orseuin is off seat."

"... Wolter?"

I was stunned because I did not see that Vice Commander Wolter would buy my talisman.

"I just have my own work, so my Highness will be spending time in my office, is that OK?"

"of course"

There is such an exchange, and Leonhard goes to the indoor training area. I went to the office with Vice Commander Wolter.

The office of Vice Commander Wolter was clean and tidy, without betraying the seemingly meticulous impression. There are few things in the room, and there are only bookshelves, office desks, and reception sets. But strangely, I didn't feel it was mineral.

"Please be free. You can read any book on the bookshelf."

Vice Commander Wolter glanced at me, standing alone, and picked up the documents piled up at the office desk. After that, he ran his pen silently without turning his attention.

It seems they are going to leave it completely. To be honest, it's easier.

I approach the bookshelf and look at the titles of the books in line.

There are a wide range of fields, from specialized books on warfare, such as tactics and formation, to maps, history books, and medical books. However, it is unlikely that there will be any recreational books such as novels.

Slide your index finger into the space, following the spine of the book. Suddenly, I found a book I was interested in and stopped my hand.

The color of the extracted material is different from other books. The sole, which is made by sandwiching a bundle of paper with cardboard, making a hole, and spelling it through a string, looks not like a book bound by a craftsman, but a thing made by an amateur.

I hesitated to open it because I thought it would be bad for a diary or report.

"I said that I could read whatever was on the bookshelf."

What was thrown was the words after reading my feelings correctly. However, even when he turned his gaze to Vice Commander Wolter, he did not look at him with a glance.

He continues to speak, keeping his eyes on the documents at hand.

"It's a collection of northeastern Nebel folk tales. I don't know if it's boring, but hopefully."

"Folk tales!"

Hey! It looks interesting.

I would like to see it against the map anyway. I would like to compare it with a history book.

"I will read it by all means"

I was looking at the map and history book from the shelf while I was excited. Looking back over his shoulder, Vice Commander Wolter, who had not taken his eyes off the papers, was staring at me.

I was staring at her face as if she was surprised and confused, and I was confused.

Well, I wondered why I was looking at you

Was it a social order? Should you have read the back of the words, like pickled in Kyoto? No, I don't know. I read it because I said it's okay to read it. I don't know if I can't do it!

Raise your own thoughts and make excuses in your heart. But he couldn't speak out stupidly and was sweating cold.

"Well, was it?"

When he was afraid, Vice Commander Wolter returned to me as if he had been played. He shook his head and muttered, No.

"As I said, you can watch it as you like ... just a little surprising."

"Surprising?"

"To be honest, I didn't really think I would read it, because I didn't even know that the princess was interested in it.

ah I see.

I could read it separately, but did it mean I didn't read it because I wasn't interested anyway?

"Personally, it's very interesting."

"... What are your plans for history books and maps?"

"Because folk tales often reflect locality and historical background in the form of lessons, it would be interesting to compare them."

I answered honestly, but my voice gradually got quieter. Because I noticed while saying.

Is this how you enjoy yourself, are you quite a maniac? When.

But it's not a complete hobby.

Hey, I'm wondering if it can help you find the Demon King. It's True?

... The previous life was a high school girl who was walking around the city with one old map. My friend told me that it was a withered hobby. It was such a tour, and I want to believe that I am not special.

Vice Commander Wolter stands silently.

"Please wait"

That's right, he heads to the exit of the room. As he opened the door and looked out, he looked back at me once and said, "Never leave here until I return."

Wait, a few minutes.

The returning captain, Wolter, had materials in both hands. In front of me sitting on the edge of the sofa and waiting, a dorm and a bundle of paper are placed.

Despite me being amazed with a surprised face, Vice Commander Wolter puts a bunch of materials on the desk.

"Now, what I have at hand is a simplified version. This is a transcript of it in detail. It's roughly summarized by region. It's assigned to each story. Please refer to the number and the subject on this paper. "

I was convinced that my breath was up.

I think it's easy to hear that it's easy to hear because the tone of the voice isn't disturbed even though it's fast-talking.

When I gently glanced at the face of Vice Commander Wolter, the expression did not change, but my eyes seemed to shine.

He opened a large, four-folded piece of paper without any notice of my gaze.

"In this map, we have a distribution map for each number assigned to each of the above subjects. If you want to know the detailed terrain, please see here. "

"Oh, thank you very much"

When I was stunned and received a thank you, I finally met my eyes. He looked back to me.

Vice Commander Wolter pulls his lips and turns his eyes involuntarily.

"... I'm sorry."

I was watching my eyes with round eyes, but I gradually understood the current situation.

I was reminded of the reaction of Vice Commander Wolter.

That's it. A man who finds a maniac hobby. It's a bit geeky. I rarely go around, so I'm glad to be happy and start talking quickly. Also, I want to tell you that you're a geek like this, but it's a one-sided push. I understand. After talking back, he turned back and was embarrassing. I understand very much.

"... I will read it carefully."

When he smiles, Wolter nodds a little.

As always, there was no significant change in expression, but it seemed a little shy.
