The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Erica was restless that morning.

Well, even if you think about it, I want you to see it. Momentum and say, 'I'm going looking for you, too!' Nah, you said it, but suddenly it's 'I'm coming back'. Erica's mood is perfect. From the day Maria brought the letter, I was also distracted and told Maria, 'Erica, are you too upset? Twelve times, Sonia said, "Erica, you're so boring."' Thirty-four times they say, 'Dear Erica... please don't!' I counted three hundred and twenty-five times that Emily would yell at me.

"... today, right?

It's the fourteenth time, Master Erica.

"Ah, ahh!

"It's okay, it's today. So please calm down. In the meantime, it is not tea that Erica is about to be drunk."

"To?"

"It's an ink kettle"

Erica, staring seriously into Emili's words into her own hands, hastily put the ink kettle in her hand back on the table. The sweat of the beads floats on his forehead, and he stares at it with Emily's gaze.

"Ah, haha. Are you kidding me? Because I'm not thinking about drinking!

"... that's not tea either, is it?

"Huh?... Yeah, yeah! That's right! This isn't tea! This is a pen!

I even put the pen up back like I panicked, and now it's time to put my mouth on the tea and say, 'Ahhh!' What a tearful eye to say, she stared at Erica, who tongued like a dog, and Emili exhaled a great sigh.

"... too hasty, Master Erica. Please calm down."

"... I can't calm down. Emily, why are you so calm?

"I'm never cool, either, am I?

"All lies"

"It's not a lie"

What do you say? And leaning down his little neck, Emily shows Erica both her hands.

"... not sweaty"

"I won't be on your face, so I am"

"... you're not cute."

"Right. I don't deny it... but I'm still nervous, too."

I opened it and shook my hands.

"... Coata, what will you say? As always, will you turn that gentle smile towards me? Or will they curse you? Will I be cursed as far as my voice is concerned? Thinking about it, I can't even sleep at night."

"... I can't imagine you being cursed as far as your voice is concerned by Coata."

With that said, take a small sigh.

"If you're gonna be scolded, it's more about me."

"Master Erica?

"'Cause, right?" This is my territory!' What a great deal for Coata. If you ever have trouble with your habit of making a big deal out of it, please Coata. Even, you say there's no way to get to Coata, stop doing everything by yourself! is. "

You can't help but laugh a little lonely when you're grabbed by love.

"... hey Emily"

"... Yes?

"The..."

- Finally.

"… Coata,"

Show me your eyes like a throwaway cat.

"... will you stay with us again?

"... who should I ask? I'd like to hear it, too."

Both of us sigh, then smile bitterly.

"... well, I can't help thinking about it"

"That's right. Besides... if you leave your job, Coata will hate you the other way around."

"... right. The ambassador of Larchia will be here tomorrow, and we'll finish the job early -"

"Erica!

To block Erica's words.

The office door opened with a noise with Dawn, and Sonia jumped into the room. Erica frowned at what might not seem like the princess's behavior.

"... Sonia, I don't know. You, calm down a little..."

"Courta! Courta, you're back!

To that word of Sonia, Erica ran, dropping the almost uttered word behind her chest. As if it were a disease.

"... which mouth will you say, Erica?"

"I don't want you following me like that!

The two of us run through the mansion. In the back, I said, 'No, it's sloppy, both of you!' What a noise Sonia makes, but I don't care. Gracefully, elegantly, but at full power. Run in one breath to the front door.

"... Coata!

Open the door and just come down from the carriage you lay on, the way it looks.

"- Ah."

Just a little.

Just a little, like, lit up.

"... Erica,"

Still... a flying, gentle grin, as usual.

"The..."

A soft, gentle grin.

"... I'm ashamed to be back"

Shaking the back of Erica's heart, her voice.

I wanted to ask.

I want to hear it, I want to hear it.

I want you to laugh, I want you to talk to me.

'No, Mr. Erica?' Oh, my God, I just want you to scold me with a slightly troubled face, but if I try, I want you to praise me for 'you worked so hard', and I want you to stroke my head, and I want you to hug me.

- Just, love, want.

What shall we talk about?

What do you say we apologize?

"Forgive me," he said.

"It was my fault," he said.

'Cause I'm not counting on you anymore'.

'All the time, I want you to stay by my side'.

When I met Kota again, the words I was going to spin fell on Erica's chest without coming out of the back of her throat. That, unspoken words knock on the chest door saying they want to go out and want to spin something, and still that's not enough in the end, so, so, at least try to make the best smile, no, even if you don't think about it, you can't suppress that feeling of a mouth angle going up on your own, and if you don't, you open your mouth to spin the word as it is, but you still want to leave something like this, in your chest, memorable, but you want to say hello to 'Coata' with a true feeling, not the words that you made, and after all, the words that Erica chose.

"Oh, wow."

"Hey, Coata. How long have we been seeing each other? Come on, get off."

"... as always, Mr. Scion is Mr. Scion with all his might."

"I'm the one who made it a random read, but there's only one thing I don't read. Air."

"You can't read, can you?

"Naturally. I dare not read it, I am."

"Huh...?

When I was a year old, I was about the same as Hota.

Red, rather than orange, long hair wrapped around ponytail.

Rather than "tough," you should call it "strong willed," brown eyes.

If Erica is Japanese, say, "Shin Takayama! 'Two rich double hills representing women, plus a thin, limp waist, would be hailed.

……

Emily, who was next door, gently blocks her ears with both hands to Erica, who dyes her cheeks red in another way, which had been lighted and crimson until earlier. Kota leans his neck for a moment as he finds the trick visibly while dealing with Theon... and realizes it.

"Oh, yes, no! It's not!

"... why"

Whatever.

"Misunderstood! Because it is a misunderstanding! Oh, Mr. Erica! Talk! Listen to me!

That's no excuse to go to Erica.

"... why do you bring a different woman home every time you go somewhere!!!

- You're right. In the meantime, it looks like Serious escaped barefoot.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"... Hey Emily. What am I supposed to do at a time like this?

"I'm worried about you, too, as you cross the border."

"Right? It bothers you, doesn't it? We were worried about how to apologize to Coata, but there was an old beauty beside Coata when she came back, right? I wonder what the hell you've been doing in Larchia!

"Oh, no, Mr. Erica?

……

"Oh, the"

……

"............... nothing"

Erica's office. Erica & Emily's, Kouta shrinks one person while in the front seat under a stabbing gaze. I was so nervous about the second year of my career when I went to get laid by the freelancer who fucked me and... when I brought Sonia back to Terra.

"Courta. Well."

There was a good kitten on the feet of Kota, who sat on the front seat, and a stuck and sweet Sonia figure. This is not what is causing Hota to give him a stone hug, it just appeared in the form of Sonia's emotional exposition 'about Kota'... if you try to make it Hota, it's just torture.

"The... Mr. Sonia? I hope it's time for you to get out of your lap."

"... Huh?

"No, 'Huh?' And they say - Um, why do you look like you're about to cry?

"Coata, do you ask me to retreat? If I haven't seen you in a long time and I don't need Sonia anymore, is that what they say?

"No, that's not why!

"You said it was okay to be sweet, you said it was okay to say it as much as I could, right?

"I said. I did say it! But, you know, when you get on top of it, it weighs..."

"You're saying I'm fat!

"Yeah, yeah, I thought they'd say it! Good! Sonia is as light as a feather, so stay put! So please quit that crying face!

"Eh heh. Coata. Well."

Sonia nods her face to its chest and pushes her head around as she leaves behind the sweet words of momentum that even a heartmark seems to wear at the end of the story. It would be as if the cat smelled it, and Kota's cheeks would also loosen. Although my legs hurt devastatingly.

"... sounds like a lot of fun, Coata. Do you like the front seat that much?

"It's not! No, but!

"... Huh?

"Oh, I'm glad! Glad to hear it, Mr. Sonia!

"... heyyyyyy!!!

"No, so, so!

Panic. No, chaos either way.

The doozy tragedy that plays in the office...... Theon stares at the comedy with an eyebrow.

"... I am so sorry that our host has shown you an ugly place. You were Sion Baumgarden's guide to education, weren't you?

Emili serves tea as she bows her head to such a Scion.

"It's Theon Baumgarden. Thank you, Miss Emily Notesfield."

"Do you know me?

"Erica Orenfeld van Flame, the Duke's katana, the poor round of flowers in the Notesfilt family, the social idols, we still have them, don't we?

Smile that you're a celebrity more than you think - smile.

"... Miss Notesfilt?

"Please call me Emily"

"Okay, Miss Emily. I don't think it's the tea you're trying to pour into the cup right now, it's the ink, more than my eyes haven't gone devastatingly funny?

"Cotta, is that enough for you?

I was forced to make a grin that attracted Emili to smile and show so... then I sighed heavily and showed her.

"... hot guys are hard"

"Please don't say a damn thing!

"Hmm. Well, we're not going to talk like this."

I haven't seen Theon, but I hear he played a big stand around at Hotel Larchia. Such an appearance of Kota being completely shrunk by the anger of a woman some younger than herself - knowing she had a bad taste - is an interesting spectacle inside, but then she rethought it was impossible to go on, and Zion opened her mouth.

"I see you first, His Excellency Erica Orenfeld van Flame. My name is Theon Baumgarden. Principal Fellow of the Royal Academy."

"... I'm Erica Orenfeld van Flame. I am bestowing the territory of Rondo de Terra on my predecessors. Later, get to know each other."

To Erica, who picks the edge of her clothes properly and lowers her head gracefully, Theon answers by nodding to Eagle Deep with a grand chest. The hell, which is a mysterious schematic of which is great.

"... mr. Scion"

"What?

"You're always doing everything you can to deserve the respect of turning around one more time... Erica is the Duke, isn't she? A little more like this, right? The way you handle it."

It is also a scion of tame mouth, etc. against Liz, who is king. Though I wonder if it's useless to say it, Kota bitterly complains about Theon in the sense of admiration for once. but unexpectedly a cross spear went in.

"Dear Coata with your words. Dear Theon, I am not mistaken in my response."

"Mr. Emili?

"Ms Theon Baumgarden holds a leading researcher position at the Royal Academy of Sciences. The title itself is higher for Erica, but in terms of the system, Theon is better than Erica."

"... is it a key position, chief researcher?"

"Royal Academic Dean, second only to Vice Dean."

"... even though you're Mr. Scion?

"... I don't know what that means... but Master Theon is at least the third most highly qualified person in the Royal Academy of Sciences"

"The position itself is third, but the authority is fifth. There are three chief researchers, including me, and the other two have the right to take over."

……

"... what, those eyes?

"Even though you're Mr. Theon?

"There's so much rotten to say... but it's me."

Generally it tends to be thought that 'nobility is great, civilians are not great', and this is not necessarily a mistake if seen solely on one side of the truth, but the story is somewhat different only in terms of the office of the kingdom of Flame. There are some points in the process of founding the state, but the major factor will be the fact that it has a huge and outstanding organisation like no other, the 'University of Larchia'.

Sixty percent of the graduates of the University of Larchia work in private companies, in their parents' homes, for example Hotel Larchia if it is Klaus, in the Chamber of Commerce of Search if it is Velour, etc., and their connection to the Kingdom of Flame… will cease in terms of public office. If this happens, the story is simple, it is good with the diagram 'Nobility is great, civilians are not great', but the problem is that if you serve the remaining 40%, that is, the 'King's House', a bureaucracy that moves national politics, or the 'Royal Academy of Sciences', an academic professional institution that encompasses the University of Larchia, the story becomes more confusing.

If they served in the King's Palace or the Royal Academy, they would serve the 'King'. If I may say so, I am the king's direct minister. And the aristocratic class likewise vows allegiance to the king and is given the relief of possession. This is also the king's direct minister.

If they are direct ministers to each other, the ascending and descending identities there will be ascending and descending from their institutional identities. If you write carefully without fear of misunderstandings, which on earth is the greatest: the chief class of central bureaucracy or the officially elected village chief of the countryside? That's the story.

... That being said, that is only the story of 'Jianmae', the human being in the chief class of Wang Fu has many civilian classes, but regardless of the subordinates of his department, he bows his head once and for all to nobility, even without rank. In particular, Erica is the king's sister, saying how despicable the territory was and in her belly she was making a fool of herself. Even if I was descending from my cousin, it wouldn't be funny if I were to pepper him nicely, but in that regard, Zion was still Zion.

"... no one told me that?

"Doesn't Master Cota have a low back against anyone? I didn't think there was anything crude about it."

When Emili smiles and says that, there is no sound of either Hota or Gu. It is an indisputable fact.

For the record, when asked who is the greatest of the humans currently in the clerk's office, our Mr. Kota Matsudai is the greatest who is about to reach the limit with a Sonia hug without a stone hug. Anyway, I came to the kingdom of Flame in response to His Majesty the King's summons, and if I may say so, I am a national guest. The second is Sonia, the third is Theon, and the fourth is Erica. Emili is a maid with Erica, and from Liz, His Majesty the King, she becomes a jury, the lowest of these. Seeing Emili as the daughter of a direct minister, rather than "with Erica", would treat her as the "Notesfilt Viscount Lady," and even if the ranking of her position in the clerk's office remained unchanged, the implications would change dramatically… but it would be longer, so I would discount her.

"Theon Baumgarden, a talented woman who has served as His Majesty's guide to education for three years. I've never seen you face to face, have I?

"I'm not mistaken, Lord Duke of Flame. I wasn't very interested in the social world."

"Oh, you're not well. If you were as beautiful as you were, you would have been the star of the social world."

"Because sex is not a very hobby"

"Yes. Then -"

That said, Erica pointed her gaze at Kota, who seemed to have a lot of simulation.

"- Wouldn't you mind calling Kota a little?

"... This is... You've got words like a lump of exclusivity. What? Is Coata your 'thing'?

"Wow, my thing! No, you're not!

"Then you don't have a problem complaining. It's not a hobby, but it's not that I'm not interested."

Phew, and Scion showing his proud face. Erica, by contrast, stares at the ghost with a nice shape that is likely to escape barefoot. Kota? It's shrinking.

"… an increase in age"

"... ho"

"Surely you, twenty-six already...... seven? Wasn't that about it? And yet I can't believe there's not a single rumor floating around... oh? Is it harder on your personality than it looks?

You are absolutely right. Regardless, Erica says it means one of her dislikes.

"... here's what I'm saying... Hota? What do you think?"

"Do you swing at me there!

Scream. Experience is complaining more than knowledge that getting into a woman's conversation at a time like this won't do you any good.

"Coata?"

"Oh, already! I get it! I get it!

'I'm sorry,' he lowers his head to Sonia on his knees, suppressing his paralyzing legs and manages to get up. It would have been lovely of you to give it a little.

"The... Erica"

"... what the hell"

He swelled his cheeks like a puffy, slightly teary-eyed. What, you cute creature.

"Well... it's nothing with Mr. Scion, is it?

……

……

"... what, excuses like that cheating pawnbroker"

"I did think so, too! No, you're not!

"Come on. Nothing happened, isn't it terrible, Coata?"

"Okay, will you shut up for a second?

"... heh heh. Hey, Theon? What happened to you and Coata?

"No, so nothing..."

"Cotta, shut up!

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Irrational. Shut up while I tell you to talk! It is. Well, even now.

It's not a big deal.

With a flush.

Glossy, hands on your hips.

"You look ashamed of me... they just saw me"

"Objection!

"Rejected!"

"No, really! Mr. Theon, what are you talking about?

"Is it true? Make me so excited... and let me slip in quickly and shallow."

As wise readers may have noticed, it is about knowledge.

"Hey-hey-hey!

"No, it's not! No, it's kind of different to say it's not! Um, I did see you embarrassed... Oh, yeah! That's right!

Picon, and a light bulb glows over Hota's head. Magic word to break this irresistible situation. Such words float in Kota's head, opening his mouth so as to punch his head.

"Mr. Theon is embarrassed at every hour!

"Hey! Not really, that would be!

"Because you do! Corner Why are you such a shame when you are the owner of great brains and beauty! Apologize! Please make a serious apology to God! Please keep your head down that I'm really sorry for the loss of humanity!

"I'm gonna cry for real, you!

"You seem pretty friendly, both of you!

"How do I look at it and it will!

"You must be wondering where you saw it!

"Oh, already!

"Dear Sonia, would you like some tea?

"Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take it... can I?

Sonia looks surprised at Emily for driving normally, turning next to tea.

"... Isn't it always the same? It's peaceful and good."

That's what Emili said. She gave a big round of grin, as she loved this returning 'everyday'.

... Well, I didn't let go of the ink bottle.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Uh..."

"What? Why don't we just sit around?

A simple Erica private room with no luxurious conditioning or large paintings. "Give proper greetings to me, the Lord, for I have returned for the time being," is the current place of Hota, who was abducted by Erica as if she were a cute calf to be sold. By the way, around Sonia and Emili rebelled violently, but in a form pushed off by the privilege of the Lord. Abuse of power? It is a utilization.

"... you always feel like Erica's private room when you get kind of mad"

"What? Did I say something?

"Nothing."

Shoulder to shoulder, searching for a place to sit...... well, there will be various explanations, decide to stand and respond. Kota meets Erica's own eyes.

"... from where... oh, from what, is it? What should I tell you from?

"You can come from anything. I want to tell you something, too."

That's how he stared softly, and Kota took one sigh. The same goes for Erica directly across the street, who exhaled and showed her a small sigh.

"The"

"Um."

Silence. The two people who spoke at the same time avoid that gaze at first sight.

……

……

"Here, from Coata, go ahead?

"Yes, no. Mr. Erica."

"Yeah, that mine is a big deal... nothing I'm not talking about, but from that, this, Coata"

"Yes, no! From Erica, please! At the, uh, lady first!

"Fuck, lady first? Oh, yeah? Well, then, the..."

Mojimoji and.

I watched the flickering and Kota at the top of my head, opening and closing my mouth two or three times.

"The..."

Eventually, I gripped my fist like I had decided to.

"Oh...... sorry!

Momentum, head down.

"What, Mr. Erica?

To the appearance of that Erica, Kota exposes himself to a dumb look that opens his mouth with Pocan. For him, who just thought he'd be squeezed tight about Zion, this behavior of Erica was out of his mind.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Ko, you don't just rely on Coata, you just say it sounds great that you work hard on your own because it's your territory, and yet you end up relying on Coata! Don't think about it yourself, just leave it to Coata to do it... Coata will do something about it!

- A glimmer.

Erica's cheeks, the rain that doesn't shake.

"... OBE... OBEN... OBEN... I just..."

As if you remember where to swing.

The tears as if they had passed through Erica's cheeks and fell to the floor.

"... Erica"

Gently wipe the tears transmitted to your cheeks with your index finger.

"... it is I who must apologize"

"That's..."

Gently place your wiped index finger on your talking lips.

"... I was in Larchia to help manage the hotel Larchia."

……

"Mr. Klaus, the general manager of the main building, was very well done, Jen. A human being who can honestly bow his head and beg and pray for a soft response, the courage to face the difficulties, the lack of understanding… he's a wonderful person."

Sigh, one.

"Remember what I used to say to you?

"I said... things?

Yeah, and one nod.

"'Together, let's make this' terra 'better and go. It's not just me, it's not just Erica, it's just the two of us, all of us... let's go make Terra better'"

"... ah"

"... embarrassing story, but I ended up thinking of solving it all by myself. Civil Unrest One step ahead of you, confused, panicked, and scattered."

And then I jumped out.

"... It's a really embarrassing story. I wonder what 'Let's all get better' is all about. I'm going to feel sorry for you."

Shoulders.

Show me your shoulders, as usual.

"If I can't do this alone, I should have asked you for your opinion. Instead of doing everything myself...... really, how many times should I say it?" Relying on people "and" I don't know what I don't know, "I bow my head and I can't do just that many things. It's a good year, but you're sorry, aren't you?

"No, that's not true! Don't rely on Coata... I'm the one we caught up with!

"That's not... Oh, this isn't working."

One bitter laugh.

"... right. Here is the result of squeezing wisdom without, trying to meet excessive expectations. Regardless, I am also responsible for trying to do my best by myself without saying that I cannot do what I cannot. But."

You're responsible for pushing everything on people.

"- You cornered me. I relinquished that responsibility and pushed everything against me, saying I would help too"

A cold voice sounded in the room and fell.

"So - Erica."

- Please apologize to me.

"- Ah."

The world is about to collapse from my feet, that feeling.

Hota stares at Erica with a cold colour in her eyes sometime before her gaze.

"Oh, the"

- He wants me to smile, like, all the time.

- It's like hours, I want you to talk to me in your voice.

"... you know... that"

- It's unacceptable.

- No more being beside this guy, it won't happen, he said.

"... come on"

Erica doesn't have the option of not apologizing, even though it's hard, sad and painful to think so above all else.

"... sorry, do"

The sky falls apart.

The ground becomes Conagona.

In that feeling that that world surrounding Erica is all going to sound and collapse.

"... Yes, I forgive you"

It was Hota's words, after all, that reconstructed the world of Erica like that.

"Huh?"

"I apologize, too. I knew I couldn't do everything alone. Especially since I'm a mediocre person. Not a genius, not to mention a superman. I apologize for taking it all on my own and being angry with myself."

I'm sorry.

Erica sees the trick of Kota bowing her head.

"The... Erica"

……

……

……

"... Erica,?

"... to? Oh, oh! Yeah, what?

"Well, I apologized...... after all, can't you forgive me?

It's like a throwaway dog.

Stared by his anxious colored eyes, Erica hurriedly shook her neck left and right.

"Yu, forgive me! You've decided to forgive me! Mostly, we... Muggle!

Kota's index finger lightly suppresses the moving mouth. It works great besides pointing to people, index fingers.

"Yes, that's it. I'm worse, no, I'm better, because it's a virtue...... in this case, it's still a good idea to do this, right?

That is, 'both bad'.

"In my country there is also the term 'both fighting and losing'. Aware of each other's bad spots as bad and apologize. Now."

Please, can't you forgive me? and.

Soft, gentle and relieved as ever.

Erica's, gives her a favorite grin...... to Hota.

"Wow! Hey, uh, Mr. Erica!

"Silly! Silly, silly, silly!

- Patience, I can't.

Erica, who also did not feel the need to endure, jumped into Hota's chest as her own heart wished, burying her face.

"But I thought I couldn't do it anymore! Cotta dumped me. That's what I thought!

"... what the hell would happen if they made a mistake?

"So, because! Coata, you looked scared like you'd never seen it before! Oh, and that's what I really thought was wrong! But he said he couldn't forgive me anymore! You can't stay by my side. 'Cause that's what they say, and, you know, that's what I thought!

"... you wouldn't have said that, would you?

"So, because! Oh, the... Ugh!

"Yes, how are you?"

"It's not a horse!

"... well, horses don't ring 'uuuuuuu', do they?

That's what I said, Kota with a slightly mean grin. Hate me, even one of my cheeks wants to give me that look, and still love me.

"... I wonder what it is. To some extent, I wanted to be neat."

"... neat?

"Because forgiving yourself is harder than forgiving people. Make sure you're angry, apologize properly, and forgive me properly. This is better than holding it in at all times, isn't it?

……

"... that?

"I know what you're trying to say... so, for that matter, Coata made me... cry?

Erica looks down with her serious eyes. In that gaze, Kota smiles a little bitterly.

"Well... when you say that, you can't deny it."

"... terrible, Coata"

Erica buries her face in Kota's chest, sounding her nose more deeply than earlier, as though she was stubborn.

"... sorry"

"... I won't forgive you"

"You're in trouble, it's"

"... Hmm!

"Mr. Erica? I made up the corner, so how can you forgive me?

……

"Mr. Erica?

"Oh, that! Yu, if you want me to forgive you, well, you know, uh, here's the thing"

"You don't know what you're talking about, do you?

"So! Yu, if you want forgiveness -"

More.

Powerful, giddy.

Strong and strong enough for your body to fall apart, he said, hug.

"As you say, princess."

One bitter laugh at my poor princess turning that way, turning red on her cheeks.

"... the... sorry"

"Welcome."

"Self-infuriating, hunting you down"

"It's each other."

"I depend on you, on you, for everything you can do."

"It was my mistake to be relied upon."

……

……

"... the"

"Yes?"

"... the... coata?

Keep it up.

Will you stay at Terra's all the time? and.

"... hey"

"... Yes"

"Why are you shifting your face there! I don't want to be in Terra anymore!

"Yes, no, I'm not!

"Then what! I'm gonna cry! Pretty good year, but I'm gonna cry so much!

"That's a little troubling...... not. Uh, actually, right?

That the terra economy was in a devastating state.

That Lotte had a way of opening up the situation.

As an exchange condition for Lotte to lend her strength, Haota agreed not to return to Terra, but to live in Wang Capital.

……

……

While being briefed, Erica's complexion turns red, turns blue, and when she turns red again, she continues her facial appearance.

"... na"

……

"What, it! Coata, you drank on such terms!

At the end of all explanations, Erica Volcano erupted.

"Hey, Erica! Calm down! Please calm down!

"Well, it was certainly our fault! But there's no way you'll admit it's like trafficking in human beings!

"No, but Terra's economy..."

"Yeah, you've gotten extraordinarily better! But you know what? I wouldn't admit that!

"Even if they tell me not to admit it."

Kota gives a troubled look while holding Erica in her arms.

"... go"

"Yes?"

"I'm going to Larchia! Go, I'm going to have a direct conversation with Lotte!

"Hey, Erica! What are you talking about!

"Because you do! That's so unsolicited - yes! This time, we're offering territory as a venue for the Lyme and Larchia pageant! I'll have my coater returned as a condition of that exchange!

"Oh, yes, no... Mr. Erica?

"Later...... yes! Sonia!"

"Danger of interference in internal affairs! No, you can't, Mr. Erica! That's unsavory!

"What! Sonia thinks she's a princess for what! Corner position, don't use it here. When will you use it!

"At least it's not for the princess!

Whether you don't want it or not, Sonia is a born princess. Just in case.

"Anyway! Whatever you say, I will definitely get you back and show you! Whatever method you use, whatever you do, absolutely!

That's it, say it.

"The... Coata, no?

Previously on pneumoconiosis, I scolded Nari.

In Kota's chest, he looked up anxiously and bumped into me.

"... that... larchia is better... okay?

Such anxious looking eyes, then expecting something.

"... ah"

"This is the answer, so no?

More than earlier, in the arms of Hota, who only slightly strengthens his arms.

"... no, not"

I miss the power of that arm, and I'm happy - most of all, lovingly.

Erica buried her face deeper than earlier and deeper into Kota's chest.

- Is it too much to say that one gunshot that sounded like Sarajevo brought democracy to a distant Eastern island country?

……

Ice and amber liquid floating in the glass. Slowly pour that fluid out of your mouth into your throat as you come to the contrast of colour that plays out in front of you. Glass and ice played a harmony called Karan.

"... Ha. I'm nervous, I'm nervous."

Smile slightly, just to hide the tension, hand-playing the ice in the glass.

"... I'll finally meet you tomorrow"

It would seem to flip the foreword, but it would be too much to say that a single gunshot that echoed Sarajevo brought democracy to a distant Eastern island nation.

Even if there were no gunfire in Sarajevo, there would have been gunfire somewhere in the world, and I think that Japan, which continues to expand in the flow, has definitely entered the war against the United States, forcing defeat due to differences in national power, and has led to the result of importing American-style democracy. Sarajevo's gunfire would be one factor from the point of view of cause and effect, but that would not have had to be Sarajevo.

"If you've come this far and it was' actually someone else ', it's a gag, right?"

But.

It is also true that Sarajevo's gunfire sparked the First World War and the subsequent European framework, and even the Second World War.

"Ugh, no, no! Don't be weak, me!

That must have been one coincidence.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

But the coincidence overlap is called inevitable.

"... Looking forward to it"

If we call that inevitable overlap even more fate.

- Hey, Kota.

I'm sure.

I guess this reunion is' destiny '.
