The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

"The moon is beautiful."

A quiet residential area, just a short distance from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The young man spoke to a woman walking next door if she looked up at the moonlight to gently drop.

"What, suddenly?

"What, no... the moon is beautiful ~"

"The moon?"

The woman stares into the sky when she is told, the moon that gently drops the moonlight - the lower limit moon, staring.

……

……

"... what the fuck?

"It's a full moon, isn't it? The moon is beautiful. - Oh, Kinosuke?

"... who is Kim Nosuke?"

"Someone with no name yet."

"What?"

"Or someone who's losing money from a small place with a hands-free cannon, huh?

"... about Natsume Soishi?

"Rock wash, Kimnosuke Natsume. The actor is the Fool Buddha."

"Was it literature?

"Law school."

That's what I always say, a woman with a cold gaze. To that gaze, youth unwittingly get stuck in words.

"... what the fuck?

"... you know what? What time do you think it is?

"Yes, now? Uh... 1: 00 in the morning?

"Yeah, it's one in the morning. Why do you think we're walking home after all this time? Hey, you know what?

"Er... its drunk"

"Right? You're drunk, aren't you? By who?"

"Well... I..."

Me?

"... it's me"

"... you know"

"... Yes"

"I know you've been busy lately, and I don't want to say much, do I? Am I right? I said," Always talk to me without holding me in alone! He said, "Oh, my God. But, you know, drinking, hugging people, what? Are you sexually harassed by futsu? Who the hell is to blame for staying in your arms, Sue, sleeping, and overtaking the power?

"... it's me, yes"

A woman flattering her shoulders to a man who has completely shrunk.

"Mostly you, didn't you have a girlfriend? Are you sure? Up to this hour? For once, I tell you because I'm a woman too, but I don't feel very good, do I? My callesi is talking to other women."

"Experience speaks," he said?

"Female Middle School, Female High School, Grammar I, Law School"

"... what spell, it"

"She's not cute, she's a highly educated woman."

"What about appearance?

"... you. You don't think I could say anything if I were you? They say it's a small animal system, even this."

"Small animals...... oh -"

"When I say raccoon, I buzz"

……

"What?

"... it's nothing"

Sigh, one.

"Uh... broke up"

"... what?

"So! He said he broke up!

"I don't know what that means! Huh? Why? You were cute, that girl!

"No, I don't know... I don't know... I don't know, I don't know..."

"You know roughly before you go out with that! She doesn't care what you think! Other than the face!"

"Other than the face! Yes, no, that's why! Well, you know, like, if you were confessed... like this, you'd be happy, right? Well, it looked cute, and this, like, hang out with me... but I don't know..."

The woman's eyes gradually become harsher so that they are proportional to the voice of the man who gradually becomes smaller.

……

……

……

"... sitte"

A woman who stares half-eyed at a man who has completely shrunk and takes a big sigh of relief.

"... well"

"Huh?"

"Nothing, that's fine. If that's what you want."

- Just a little.

A woman who really only slightly, happily restarts her steps with her arms behind her head. The man, who had often looked at her, chased after her as if in panic.

"Hey, wait!

"What?

"What... so!

Wonderfully, a woman staring at this one. The young man opened and closed his mouth two or three times… staring into the sky as he had decided to.

"... the moon is so beautiful"

"... which mouth say that?"

"You really suck at sync!

"You're the worst, Ked! 'Cause, right? I don't know when we broke up, Ked. Futsu, do you say that now? Besides, you're so drunk. What? What did you want me to say,' I want to go away, Kippi '?

"Khippi...... oh, that's enough! We're leaving!"

That's what I said, a young man who walks a lot faster and traverses a woman in dissatisfaction. The young man's hindsight was included and he stared with a laugh, and the woman caught up with a small run to line up next to him.

"Hey, hey."

"... it is."

Bring a teary-eyed smile to a man who looks back dissatisfied.

"Are you a little..." underserved "?

……

"What?"

"You? That's what you call salting the wound, isn't it?

"What?

"'Cause you, lacking to say,' lack of service '... you know what? Even I'm not good enough for you, am I? I don't think so. I think... what is it?

Instead of looking dissatisfied... the woman pointed her shimmering eyes at a man with slightly tearful eyes. To that gaze, the man's heart is about to break dong.

"... what are you? Sometimes it's stupid."

"What? The kind that kicks into the crying surface, you?

"A ghost, I am"

"It's a ghost, you are. Damn... look at that, huh? Absolutely, be a good man. Oh, my God, that face!

"No, I was wondering if the Japanese disturbance had come this far. That's lamentable, really."

That's what I said, sighing and watching with my jito eyes.

"You're as good as that. I told you, didn't I? Shortage."

"I don't know what that means!

"Go home and ask a teacher with a G or a senior with a Y! You're a modern boy!"

"Wait a minute, cherry blossoms in sync! Oh, my God, that! Wow, I'm curious!

◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Coata?"

"What is it, Mr. Scion?"

Haota, who stared at the long idle countryside leading out the window without expecting to see it, glances at Zion, who sat face to face, distracting him from it.

"Hey, why are you out of sight of me?"

"No, because he looked very dissatisfied. I thought maybe I wouldn't be too busy listening to you right now."

"... ho"

"Anyway, it's you, isn't it? You think it's" I'm tired of an irreplaceable sight "or" I'm free, so tell me something "?

"You know perfectly well. You're right, I'm tired."

Like nothing, on the contrary, Kouta sighs loudly, not hiding, to Shion, who even stretches his chest to show such a thing.

"How many times, this conversation? May I? I left Larchia for three days. How many times do you think I've said the same thing in three days, Mr. Theon?

Again, Kota sighed heavily, staring at Shion with his jito eyes.

It was three days ago now that I followed the king's capital, Larchia.

During those three days, if you're in a carriage, do it. I'm bored with all the countryside, just do it. My butt hurts when I sit down, just complain.

Buy me an array in the city I stopped by on the way, let's go over there, but I can imagine if you keep telling me you want a good meal today, and I'm sorry. I'm going to hear voices saying that's not a date at all... but if you're going to borrow Coata's word, it would be 'in a change'.

"... largely, why is Mr. Scion following me?

"I don't have a choice."

"I don't have a choice. Your Majesty... then it would be a little difficult... but with all due respect for this way of putting it, I was fine with Mr. Aria, wasn't I?

"You're out of the question, Your Majesty. And Aria's busy. Repair the legacy of Aleia that Corta broke."

He opened his mouth just a little awkwardly off his face to Theon, who looked at Haota with a nigga and even a grin.

"... I broke it, I'm very unwilling to be told. It's broken, that one."

"Shall I say so? Well, either way, Aria can't."

"Really?

"I also have a lot of commas. Yeah, I can see it. You're a popular lecturer, Aria."

"Oh, yeah, what..."

Take a breath.

"... popular lecturer? Huh?"

"Didn't I tell you? Aria holds the position of lecturer at the University of Larchia. Well, I have a job at the Academy, so it's the limit."

"One comma a day, is it every day?

"Oh."

... I want you to imagine. "Little" Aria, who is only about the same height as Sonia, reaches out 'hmm' to those on the blackboard with her fingernails first. Looks just a little great, 'Is that good? Here! You'll be on the test!' Whatever you say, slap your hands on the bread, and look like you're saying a kehoe to the chalk powder.

"... you must be popular, it"

"I say no, but Aria doesn't have a mascot popularity, does she? I have a reputation for lecturing well and being easy to understand."

"You don't think it's mascot popular?

"... it's not like there's nothing there"

"Right? It's..."

That's all I can say, Kota realizes.

"The..."

"... what?

"What about Mr. Theon?

Not as good as Aria, even Theon is fifteen years old, enrolled in the University of Larchia, graduated as chief, and is Junying, who holds the position of chief researcher at the Royal Academy of Sciences. Naturally speaking, Kota's question is that the instructor would deserve more than Aria, who looks younger than her age. In contrast, Theon answered it by turning away.

"... I wonder what didn't work"

"... did you try?

"I was fired in three days. Said, 'You're too bad'."

Imagine... you don't have to. Scion was Scion with all his might, that is.

"... well, I don't care about me. Anyway, Aria is busy under those circumstances. Of course His Majesty can't, nor can Lotte Ong. Then I'll be the only one, won't I?

That's what I said, let me see you laugh.

"What's the 'go-to' with Rondo De Terra in Coata?"

- The story goes back ten days from now.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Could you please come home to Rondo de Terra?

One case of Hotel Larchia settles down, ten days.

In Larchia, King Flame's capital, wasted rice...... mainly, Liz's "I'm working so hard! Spoil me! It was Lotte who summoned me to the office to talk to Kota, who was imitating Neto, who had never experienced much in his life.

"... what do you mean, Lord Lotte"

"Oh? Aren't you going to call me Lotte 'Mr.' anymore?

Show me your shoulders on Lotte's words.

"... what do you mean, Lotte 'Your Excellency'"

Now it's Lotte's turn to flatter her shoulders.

"Because first, a diplomatic envoy came from the Kingdom of Larchia. He wants to negotiate peace between the Lyme Larchia wars, and ask my kingdom of Flame to mediate it."

"... is that it?

"This is a story we were talking about internally from our country." I'm ready for harmony if I have to, "he said. The reply came back… the terms on which the Kingdom of Larchia would enter the negotiating table were" to seek the presence of Mr. Cotta Matussillo ".

Exhale louder.

It was also assumed as Lotte that there would be an offer from the Larchia side regarding the terms of the harmony. Whatever you say, condolences, I was reading that you would go as far as the 'convincing' otosidocolo, but it is a response to a harmonious acceptance that returns the palm of your hand.

For such a lotte, this' harmonious condition 'is outside the scope of the assumption. I was wondering if gold, territory, and even the life of the worst president would be required, but what that side has been asking for is Kota's presence. It's better not to be surprised.

"... the terms of harmony are my participation, is it?

"Precisely the terms on the negotiation table for harmony are fine. The terms of harmony are different."

"Why?"

"Come on, that's what I want to hear."

Say that, show me your shoulders again.

"It would benefit my country if we could conclude a pact of harmony. Do you understand this?

"Yes."

"If you try it on the lime side, there will be a war that began out of hand, and I want to negotiate peace early, even at some disadvantage. He said he made it Larchia. It's a war that we started with momentum, and there's nothing we can do about it forever."

"You can sell thanks, right?

"Exactly. In addition, the economy does not grow more than expected. It would only be detrimental to keep the war going."

War is something that costs money anyway, but it costs' people 'more than that. Production capacity is naturally depressed in Larchia, where the momentum of all the national soldiers is attacking Danieli, from the craftsmen who make daily necessities, to the owners of the liquor stores, to the little children at the end. And the intact kingdom of Flame would supply supplies to Larchia with such a depressed production capacity...... it was planned.

"Production capacity is naturally falling, but more than that, consumption is dramatically depressed, now Larchia is. Everyone seems to be using crude meals and breaking supplies."

I don't want it, until I win, is.

"It is now the war between the two countries of Lyme Larchia. But if we keep going like this, other countries will probably get their hands on it. Snakes...... Around the Kingdom of Solvania will be happy to roll out the King's Army and put Lime's back on it. We can't afford to deploy a two-way operation to Lyme, and we'll be ravaged by Solvania in no time."

"Is that troublesome?

"It's built on a critical balance. The continent of Orkena today."

It is not convenient for a prominent country to emerge.

"Declare war on Lyme, I don't suppose you're going to..."

"I won't go. If you work with Lyme, you'll have Tiger Sight and Fastoria after our country."

I'm not saying, 'Because I'm making an offer to Lyme to reconcile, but declaring war is outrageous'. Diplomacy is such a thing.

"… to put it bluntly, the most beneficial course of action for my country is the holding of a conference on harmony and the signing of a pact on harmony. We need your help to do that."

"Come on in on your own, tell me, now just go home, okay? Which mouth do you say"

"I really don't like it either."

Where does Lotte blow the wind, even to Kota, who rarely includes anger in his voice. I ran out of words very well.

"At the corner, you have a troublesome 'hero' in your hand, and you have to unleash it, don't you? There's a chance Terra won't come back here again."

"So why don't we just put it back?

"I'm talking about the balance. The advantages and disadvantages of bringing you back. What the hell, which way to lean"

And I leaned toward putting it back, he said.

"He said it would be more profitable to put it back."

"In a tangible way, yes."

"... what if I don't go back?

"You never say."

grandiose.

Kouta snorts at Lotte, who says so as if she had figured it out.

"When you were first summoned, you said, 'I give up well'. You didn't complain about being summoned to the continent of Orkena, where you had no ties or connections. I didn't complain when I told you to leave the royal palace. You can tell Terra not to do anything in exchange for a resolution of the disturbance."

……

"Let's be honest, I'm afraid of you. It's not 'knowledge'. Nor is it 'experience'. Nor is Terra a" track record "of developing the right de countryside from that ancestral tradition. I'm just scared of your" goodness of giving up. "

"Are you scared?"

"Yeah. It's just, well... that's why I think it's 'easy to do'"

"... 'Easy to watch,' did you come? It's very rude."

"And you don't get angry when they say that. You can be angry with your voice absurdly, but you still don't."

This one gives a bitter look to Lotte, who distorts her expression just a little funny. Seems obvious and never feels good.

"You're a very smart man."

"I'm buying it."

"'Good to give up' tends to be taken backwards but never. People are the only idiots who keep trying to do what they can't."

……

"You are not. I'm just doing what I can, to the best of my ability, to be stupid. That is to say, you fully understand what you can do and what you cannot do. Don't overconfident in strength, don't be chronic about strength"

All you have is' confidence '.

"... exactly, you're a 'hero'"

"Heroes wouldn't be this smart."

"Heroes are clever. Because you're smart, heroes don't fight the losing opponent. They survive because they don't fight the losers, and they are honored as' heroes' to future generations because they have never lost. People who lose their lives in the first battle don't call themselves heroes, do they? Heroes are not the process. That's the title you get for the result, isn't it?

"... I will not deny it. But don't heroes defeat mighty enemies?

"It's just a story where heroes had more power than they did with mighty 'enemies'... well this doesn't matter. In the end..."

You think you can't beat me.

"I don't even know if I'm afraid of my own power or the power of the state behind me. Either way, smart you'll never 'fight' me. It's not a hobby to challenge a loser."

Talking that far, Lotte stared at Kota.

"So... you will go to Terra. This is not 'please'"

It's an order, he said.

To Lotte staring, Hota had no choice but to shake her head vertically.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"… an order, is it?"

"What's up?

"No."

Kota replied by shaking his head and grinning bitterly at Zion, who looked surprised by the way he accidentally skipped consciousness in the past.

I just thought, "I haven't, either."

"... lotteonka"

"Yes."

Keep smiling bitterly, Kota laughing just a little lonely. With that look in his sight, Zion flied his gaze diagonally up.

"The... what, Coata. Don't be too depressed."

"Yes?"

"Lotte, it's me."

"I haven't gotten any more information."

"He's almost like a monster. It also boasts immense authority, power and power in the King's Palace. You know what? There are no factions in the King's Palace, formerly known as the" Demon Cave ". If you insist, it's the Lotte from top to bottom."

"You don't have a ton of demos, it"

"Right? I grew up watching Lotte Ong since I was a little girl. Even I still don't know what the hell that Mitsuhito is thinking. So, the... what. Are you saying it's a shame that Coata my age compares anything to Lotte... No, it seems rude to look at your abilities low when I say it's stubborn? Uh, I don't know what to say..."

Saying-agumi, Kota deepens the colour of bitter laughter to Shion, who opens and closes his mouth.

"Maybe... Mr. Scion, are you trying to comfort me?

"Ugh! Let's comfort you or something, you know, it's not... it's not... the"

"What's going on? Did you eat anything bad?

"What do you mean, it!

Often, I stared at Haota with a jittery eye as if to stare at his parents' enemies - loosening his harsh expression all the time.

"... Klaus was grateful"

"Huh?"

"It's not just Klaus. Elle, let's make it velour. Thanks to you, everyone smiled."

Whatever, keep going with me.

"I'm not bragging, but I'm somewhat of a 'can do' person, whether it's for me, Klaus or Velour. I'm out of college, and I have a place there. But we would never have had that happen alone."

……

"To be honest... just a little bit, I feel sorry for you, too. I've known Klaus a long time. If it was true, I would have done something about it."

Show me your worried face.

"But... no, that's why I thank you and respect you. Think too much and quote yourself... Stop quoting 'The Man I Respect' low"

You'd look cheap to my 'respect', wouldn't you? and turns an earlier worried face into a tearful smile.

"... what is really going on, Mr. Scion? Did you hit him in the head?

"I didn't hit him! You... people are trying to comfort you rarely..."

I look at Scion, who swells his cheeks dissatisfied, smiling.

"... thank you -"

"Besides, Lotte Ong is an old man. I'm gonna die first."

"- Now... what, huh?

"Things like monsters, I said, but even Lotte Ong is human. I'll retire in the not-too-distant future. Retirement will give him power for the time being... well, he's of good age too."

"Hey, you must be careless!

"It's not careless or anything. Facts are facts. Or something? Is Coata going to die before Lotte does?

"No, that would be ahead of Mr. Lotte, who is older if we talked about it later...... not!

"In the end, that's the thing. You can't win because Lotte Ong was born before us. You can't win because Lotte Ong has been through a lot more things than we do. So a lot of living Lotte Ongs die first. So... right, Coata, if you think you've lost, that's fine. Let the old, short old man have the flowers."

With that said, Kouta flashed his face to Shion, who flashed his shoulders.

"... I don't know what to say... Mr. Scion is Mr. Scion with all his might."

"What does that mean?"

"Safe, I mean."

Shape that face into a smile.

"... it's not even in the pattern, I said something I hate to lose. Thank you for your concern."

"Beh, I hope I didn't worry about Coata!

"... it would be too chewy, Sole"

"... Cohon. I'm not worried about Coata. I'm new to Rondo de Terra, too. I have trouble staying depressed all the time. Get well and show me around."

Hmm, Scion turning that way like a stubborn. Kota also turned her gaze out so that she could get to that gaze.

"... right"

Less than two months after leaving Terra.

"There are also delicious shops in the city. Let me show you."

The city that spreads in front of me, already even the thought of 'nostalgia' began to sprout - staring at the streets of Terra, Kota said so and smiled.
