The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

"Enchanted by the Demon King... magic? What are you talking about?

Erica yells, looking at Ayano's grin in her mouth. At that loud volume, which could be heard all the way down the hall throughout the room, Emili, who was watching the samurai outside, stumbled upon the door of the reception room, knowing that she was unhappy.

"Excuse me. What the hell is going on?

In the guise of ostensibly calm, Emily steals a look at Erica's expression - light, I remember despair. It's rude to say that it's not just the royals... but because Erica is quite short minded and Emily, who has been with Erica for such a long time, soon realized.

"... His Excellency Rudolph. I'm so sorry, but aren't you going to take a few seats off?

This is because this Erica is never 'calm'. Emili instantly determined whether there was any shame or disrespect in her body, or the 'damage' that the hell would do to Terra, prompting Rudolph to leave the room, albeit arbitrary.

"... Hmm. I don't mind that."

"I'm so sorry"

"No. Thank you. Our 'Virgin' doesn't seem to be calm, either, and it would be mutual. So please, 'don't worry'"

I breathe relief all over my chest into Rudolph, who smells the phrase 'There seems to be something here too'. If you smash up harmony in a place like this, you won't just paint Rondo de Terra, you'll even paint the Flame Royal Family with mud.

"... then I'll send it to you. Erica, Erica, please leave."

……

"... Dear Erica!

"Emily, come in if you send Chancellor Rudolph. Sonia, and call Theon."

"What, Master Erica? What?"

"It's not a problem, is it, 'Virgin'?

Erica stares at Ayano for saying so. Ayano looks calmly at her shoulders with such a gaze that she sees her parents' revenge.

"Yeah, no problem. Do as you please, Duke."

"You're going to unravel the Demon King's magic, right? Emily, come on."

A bee and a cold sweat poured down Emily's back on the two of them that sparks were about to pop out. Recognising that it could be catastrophic if left alone like this, he sends Rudolph to the holding room, 'Please, this way', gracefully, and still runs around the mansion as fast as possible. Recovering Sonia, who was reading a book in the room, and Scion, who was picking and eating in the kitchen, and panicking, Emili opened the door to the reception room.

"... that was fast, Emily"

As I sat in the upper seat, I saw Erica staring at Ayano. "What the hell! 'What a dissatisfaction Sonia even corrected her collar unexpectedly at what time that Erica was not.

"... what the hell. Why am I being brought here in the first place?

In the meantime, the Scion of normal operation. I take the sauce on my finger as a pepper, either because they brought me on the way to picking and eating. You should note that you behave badly, but in a situation like this with bad air, Scion's method acts as a strange reliever and reassures Emily.

"So? Who the hell is your Mitsuhito?

The peace of mind, for a moment. You have to touch it at some point, but if you can, step through that mine at once, despite the delicate topic you want to touch Oblate on. Scion is Scion.

"- Oh, with that said, you still had a decent introduction. Nice to meet you. My name is Ayano Okawa. As one of the diplomatic corps of the Kingdom of Larchia, one of the attendees of this harmonious meeting in Rondo de Terra -"

Take a breath.

"… I am a colleague of Kota Matsudai's bank here"

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"... of Coata, colleague?

How much time has passed for silence.

In a space with heavy air, Scion, which was solidified like a statue, manages to squeeze out his voice. Emily and Sonia still can't move, and Erica is pointing that way.

"What about you?

"Excuse me, it's Theon Baumgarden. I'm the lead researcher at the Royal Academy of Flame."

With that said, I take a good look at Kota.

"... I summoned Coata."

"Scion!"

"What's up, Miss Erica?

"That's supposed to be a serious secret of the state! Make it like this - someone who doesn't even know!

"Any authority for 'Summoning the Brave' rests with me, the person in charge. It is possible, under my authority, to keep information secret and to decide who to tell. Miss Erica, by the way? Miss Emili has no right to ask for that information. What you did at your discretion, if it's supposed to be a serious leak of state secrets, is what you should be guilty of?

"Oh, that!

"Regardless, Her Royal Highness Princess Sonia doesn't have the same... well, it's my mistake not to stop Coata from talking. Even Miss Emili has no intention of being guilty. Better than that."

Turn your gaze toward Erica, Ayano.

"Dear Ayano, should I call you?

"Quit messing around. Ayano is fine."

"Then ayano. You are said to be a colleague of Coata. Is it true that this perception of colleagues in the world, not the continent of Orkena?

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure with that perception. Well, maybe another part of the same world is unlikely... but I'm not a colleague of this continent of Orkena."

"Then you too..." Summoner, "is that right?

"Maybe, yeah."

To Ayano's words, Zhu runs gently on Zion's face. It's not shame or lighting, there's a ju color of excitement.

"Interesting. Very interesting! Ayano, how did you get summoned?

"How... I opened the front door in the morning to go to the bank like I always do, and when I stepped outside, I'd be in a conference room sometime. Two age-oddisamas in front of me, sitting in a pocan face... well, like that. By the way, one of them was Mr. Rudolph earlier, and the other was His Majesty the King of Larchia."

Ayano, who speaks so lightly, now Kota makes the tannic surface.

"What?

"No, what... what, that's outrageous. It wouldn't be funny if they killed you, would it?

"Normally a crook! I guess it's over with the bassari slaughter... but I was lucky too. In the meantime, I have good legs and I'm not a ghost, I"

Show me the edge of the skirt where it is. On his glossy barefoot, he accidentally dyed his face bright red and Kota missed his face.

"Mi, you don't have to show me! It can't be!"

"There? What? What, Kota, are you lit?

Slightly, he said, 'Here!' In what way Ayano said, Hota's face stains Zhu... in a different way, Erica's face also stains Zhu. Whatever, with anger.

"What are you doing, you guys! How long have you been playing?

"What, jealousy? It's ugly."

"So, who's jealous! That's not true!

Erica bites Ayano, who turns her proud face. Unusual for both of them - really, unusual for Theon to come out as an arbitrator.

"Both of you, leave that alone. We can't talk about it, we're way out of line."

Still, I honestly follow that word, with both of us in disgruntled faces, to Zion, who says so so in a way that I can resist. One nod as he was satisfied with the modus operandi, and Zion opened his mouth.

"So, Ayano? How the hell did you get summoned?

"How? Come on? When I found out, I was just in the 'over here' world."

"Hmm. So there was no explanation for the summons, then? For example, the Kingdom of Larchia summoned you, or something?

"He looked like a pigeon ate a bean cannon when he was summoned. If the kingdom of Larchia really summoned you, you'd be talking to His Majesty on the boulder, wouldn't you?

With his hands on Ayano's jaw, Theon thinks only a little. Ayano is right, if the Kingdom of Larchia had summoned him, the First Impression would be too unnatural.

"There's even the possibility of acting... no, the Kingdom of Larchia doesn't have the technical skills to do that,"

"Uh... can I have a word? I'm sorry I'm thinking alone, but who summoned you or something, that important?

Ayano asks Shion, who bumps that it is not, a little creepy. Scion, questioned, said for a moment, 'To?' I showed it in my face, and then rolled it up all at once.

"You bet! It's important to know who summoned you!

"Oh, yeah?

On the sword screen of too much Scion, Ayano feels a little drawn. He sent Kota his gaze to ask for help, and all he said was, 'Give it up,' and gave up his sight of Kota shaking his neck left and right.

"By and large, ayano, don't you care? Why am I called here, what will, what theory, what force worked, that doesn't bother me at all!

"Oh, no, that... Hota! Hey, you!"

"I can't. Ayano's bad"

"Why not!

"I shook a topic that seemed intriguing to Mad Scientists whose common sense didn't make sense. Stay with me till the end."

"Synchronous love! Demand synchronized love!

"There's a wall you can't cross, in synchronous love"

"I don't care about that! Come on, Ayano!

"Oh, oh, already! I don't know, I don't know! Someone summoned you for something magical!

"Magic? There is no such thing in this world. Aren't we watching too much theatre? Look at reality."

"... Hey, Hota? I don't know, this' illa 'feeling. Can I buzz you, this guy?

"Quit. Because my fist just hurts."

One sigh to Kota, who gently preaches so with an enlightened look. Ayano turned to Zion.

"I think this is the story of being derailed... but good. Then I'll ask the other way around. You said you were responsible for summoning Hota, right? How did you summon him?

"There is a machine of summons, called the 'Legacy of Aleia'. I used it to summon him."

"Aleia's legacy? What, that obedient name"

"It's an ancient technology left behind by St. Aleia of Learning. It's a subpoena machine that leaves the current science behind."

"The one called Lost Technology? Wow, I'm not rational..."

That said, Ayano put up three fingers after she skipped her gaze to think about it just a little bit.

"There are three possible possibilities"

"Let's listen"

"No Aleia heritage relationship, I don't know what it is, but I was summoned"

"Hmm. That would be a possibility."

"Two, Aleia's legacy lies somewhere. So I was summoned."

"It's also possible. And the third one?

Fold the raised finger and point at Scion with one remaining finger.

"You summoned."

"... well. Interesting."

"Some machines summon. He also has a proven track record of summoning. If Lost Technology is enough to say Aleia's 'Legacy', it's a rare thing, isn't it? Absolutely not, and I'm not sure I have a proven track record of summoning, rather than thinking that I have a pomp over there or over here, or that I've been summoned in a completely different way. I'd suspect you the most, wouldn't I?

"I see, it makes sense. By the way, when did you get summoned?

"When? Uh... about a month ago now? But what does that have to do with anything?

"About a month ago, that's just about right, Coata?

Ayano has a surprising look on Zion's slightly flashy face.

"... what do you mean?

"About a month ago, Coata broke it, Aleia's legacy. That's why it's impossible to summon you in Aleia's estate."

"... Seriously? What are you thinking, Hota? I can't believe I broke such an important thing."

"Hey, no! Nothing I broke... not that I'm the only one that's bad..."

"Hey, I don't know what you're talking about"

"Ugh!

"Goddamn it, Cota was a masterpiece then. Aria held me, and I fell straight over the machine..."

"Mr. Scion!

――……

"... Mr. Scion? What's the matter, you look so bright blue?"

Scion's face, which had dyed his complexion to Zhu with excitement and joy until earlier, turns unexpectedly bright blue. On a good note, Kota called out as he was surprised by such a sudden change in Scion that trembled on the catacotta and the chopping.

"Mr. Theon?

"Hey, it's nothing, huh? Well, yeah. I don't know what I don't know. I can't help it."

"... what's really going on? Did you even eat something bad? I suddenly got pale... and something, like, 'Oh no!' Is that the expression?

"Oh, no, so!

"Mr. Theon?

That, so, and a sion that sometime shows upset. Eventually, I couldn't stand the gaze of Hota and Ayano anymore, or I dropped my shoulders and opened my mouth like I'd given up.

"... remember, Coata. When you broke Aleia's legacy."

"Bad things to hear... well, I remember. I don't want to remind you."

"The... what? What happened to Aleia's legacy then?

"I don't know... well, there's a bong and smoke out -"

"Before that."

"Before that? Uh, sure..."

- The first thing I heard was, 'Gun!' The dull sound. Then a low mechanical sound, like something starts. Its sound is gradually higher, it makes the grunt sound louder as if it adds momentum, and finally…

"... Huh?

"... have you noticed?

The first thing I heard was, 'Gun!' The dull sound. This place is good.

"... like something starts, low... mechanical sound?

"... oh"

That's right.

"Something starts." It's "Low machine sound."

"Hey, hey!

Now it's Kota's turn to bluish his face.

"Or we're talking about possibilities! I'm not sure it was a malfunction! It just so happens, it's possible! Sure, if you just look at the circumstantial evidence, you're almost black guilty, but it's never just Cota that's bad!

"And, Mr. Scion? Um, I slipped into your nosebleed! What are you trying to blame on me alone!

"I can't apologize for driving not only one but two lives crazy on a boulder! This is Coata, you take responsibility alone!

"Irrational! You're being too unreasonable!

"It would be unreasonable, but what, exactly -"

"... hey"

……

"Sounds like we're having some fun pretending to be responsible..."

- Don't you have something to do before then? and.

Ayano shook his clenched fist with a good smile, and Kota and Shion said, 'I'm sorry!' I bowed my head. There was a big octopus on that head... well, it wouldn't have to be said.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"... really, you're out of line"

Ayano glances back at Erica, glimpsing Shion and Kota, each with a friendly takobu on his head. The gaze collided with Erica's challenging gaze, who was quietly angry, listening politely and silently to a series of currents.

"Right. I have some sympathy for you..."

"Fine, nothing. I've seen Kouta again."

"... yes. But that has nothing to do with it."

Now, explain.

"You said you'd unravel the magic of the Demon King and show it to me, right? What does that mean?

"It means the way it is. That's what you're saying about the Demon King, not Kota. A bad demon king was showing it falsely. With the devil looking like a beautiful woman and stumbling on a man. I thought I'd show the reality to the lovely Duke who hooked me up to it. Kindness, I'll tell you what?

"... heh"

Erica glances at Ayano, who even smiles and says so, with a look that leaves her hostile.

"... interesting things to say, you. What the hell can you say that for?

"If you insist, Kang, is it? The moment I saw you, I thought. Oh, these people haven't seen Hota, have they?"

"Woman Kang is the strongest, you're not going to say that, are you?

"Still good, but that doesn't convince you, does it?

Erica nodding and showing naturally. Next to it Emily, Sonia snorts and shows as well. One nod at that gaze and appearance of hostility, Ayano turns to Kota.

"Tell me one thing before that, Hota. Why are you in Rondo de Terra?

"Why... that's because His Majesty the Flame wants me to go to Terra"

"... did you do something? You know, pissing me off."

"I don't think so. His Majesty kept his head down for a long time... and he just told me it wasn't very good when I was around."

"Troubleshooting?

"... malicious in the way I say it... well, I don't deny it"

Hmm, she replied carelessly to show it, and Ayano returns her gaze to Erica again.

"So? Did Hota come to you?

"That's right. At the behest of His Majesty, Courta came to this terra."

That's what I say, I show you with my chest up, and Erica speaks with pride and pride.

"... then the coata literally shredded me to develop this terra land. Even as I and Emily were about to screw up, they encouraged me. He saved my life."

"Hmm. So?

"We're not the only ones. Even Coata was hurt, tormented, troubled... but she did her best for us! Well..."

It was ourselves who hunted down, tormented and hurt Kota. With such a sense of sin, Erica nevertheless looks up to her temperament.

"... Indeed, we may have suffered Cota. But still, Coata helped us! Assuming you have a bad coata, you could be the Demon King! If it was such magic, I'd be happy to call you!

Chest up, and proclaim it so with dignity, Erica. Ayano opens his mouth, staring at Emili and Sonia, who nod and look alike next to them, as if bored - bottom of his heart, bored.

"So, the question. Were there any problems in this territory until Kota arrived?

"That's what?

"I don't return questions with questions. There was, wasn't there?

"Oh, there it is."

The moment Erica said that.

"... hmm"

Ayano's mouth hoisted and a fierce grin.

"Fine. Then I'll guess. Kota first met you."

- Didn't you say something like, "You can't run a territory like this"? and.

"... ah"

Erica gets stuck with words without thinking about Ayano's question.

"Did you say that? Or didn't you tell me?

"... I said"

"Say it well, this guy. 'This is no good! We should fix it! Why are you doing this!' Right?

"Aren't you going to make such an unattractive territory attractive? Assuming the lord. '

- I was told.

They did say that, anger, and nevertheless the validity of that Korta's words, and they helped Terra 'manage'... and Terra developed.

"Oh, that's... that's what!

Even though they say so and are unintentionally upset as if they had seen it, they push the upset away and Erica shouts out loud. 'Shut up,' he muttered to his voice, shrugging his shoulders, Ayano continued his words.

"... the bank we worked for has a way of perceiving customers as' new destinations'. Kota, go to Anger first. 'Why don't you take advantage of that when you have management resources!' I would say to a main or quasi main... but it's hard to say to a 'company' that does well there. Especially for critical and main destinations."

Banks divide customers into several categories. There are differences between banks, and I can't say all about them, but they are generally divided into main, quasi main, hanging, and new destinations.

If the main or quasi-main business is good, banks don't say things that are very difficult. It's not like there's no problem because it's a company that I go to all the time. There are hardly any problems such as a company, and there are always some problems. The luxurious performance only overshadows and hides the problem. But he complained about the problem and said, 'If you're going to say something that hard, I'm going to quit the deal. Because you don't just want the bank'. It would also be my mission as a bank to make an opinion in a third-party position if it were, but reality is not as sweet as it should be. Even banks are corporations.

Conversely, I can also say that it is somewhat difficult for "hanging", which is a relationship to the degree of brother-in-law, or for new destinations that have no dealings at all. Especially if you're new here, there's never been a deal at all. As mentioned above, it is difficult to complain to a company that performs well, and I can also express a gutsy opinion that the main thing that I just follow is that I can't say. If you say it and you don't like it, the next time you don't visit, it's just a good story. You don't just lose money if you don't get it.

"You say gatun first, right? The general customer thinks, 'What, this guy is'... about one in thirty companies? Some people think," You're not like the bankers you've been, you're funny. "

Managers who are accustomed to following suit are not accustomed to being called gatun. Many managers are angry, but very few try to listen, and some think so.

"That's how Kota uses it. Points out the problem for now for all new destinations. Hearing managers are sincerely invited to consider the challenges together with the operations to solve them. 'Until now, they just said it was good, good, and I didn't think there was such a solution,' something that customers who went around taking over often told me." Matsuyo, you were good! 'Sometimes they say that. Really, that's a good annoyance. "

He flaunted his shoulder like a pain in the ass - and still, Ayano seemed a little happy with that.

"Summoned by the royal palace, you feel like your life is in danger, don't you? What, you are! It's not funny at all to be killed. I know, even I did. But more favorable than I expected... I was kicked out, but still given a place to live and a place to live. If I go, that territory won't financially work. There seems to be a way to solve it, and the 'parent company' has my life secured, so even if I say it's somewhat impossible in 'subsidiary', I won't be killed. I was ready to live in the shade anyway, if you don't like me, you can live as a shade. All right, let's say one thing."

'You can't do this. Reform more!' And show me shoulder to shoulder to shoulder to mane Hota.

"... Anyway, this is the place, right?

"Chi, chi -"

"No, I won't let you say anything. Then why are you still Erica 'Mr.'? Why can't you ever lose your respect? Why are you so"

- Are you smiling like you're sticking around? and.

"-"

"After all, you were a 'banker' wherever you went, weren't you? You kept dealing with customers, didn't you? 'Cause I wouldn't get that impression like Superman if I was looking at you normally. Then you're such a Superman."

- You played the Demon King... and played Cota, didn't you? and.

"... that's how you didn't show 'Kota' and kept showing 'Kota', right?

As if I had seen it, I would say so and hum one nose and look at Kota. To divert himself from that gaze, Kota turned his body diagonally.

"... you can't say 'yes, it is' in this place. Fine, nothing? You don't have to tell me the answer."

With that said and a bitter smile, Ayano turned his gaze to Erica.

"This is why I thought you guys were watching" Kota "without looking at" Kota ". Well, isn't that right? The customer who was the new customer became the main customer. It's painful, it's sad, I don't cry in front of customers. I won't hold back. 'Cause, right?

If you do that, the "customer" in the corner will hate you.

"... hey, what do you guys think? That's how you feel about Kota treating you as a 'customer'... what emotions do you have?

Kokun, and.

Erica's screams echo at Ayano, who tilts her neck and asks her so.

"That's not true, Coata! I can't believe you think of us as guests and treat us like that."

"Do you really think so? If that's the case, I think it's a pretty eye-catching head, huh? Hey."

Erica "Mr." and.

As I emphasize, Ayano looks happy to say so. To deviate from that gaze, Erica turns her gaze toward Kota - such a gaze toward him... and despairs of Kota, who does not look at me together.

"Ah... this, Coata? Ugh, lying... right? Lies, right! I can't believe we're the only customers."

Plead.

'It's not,' he said.

'What are you talking about, Mr. Erica'.

'That's not true, you say stupid things sometimes'.

As usual, such a light-mouthed, mean, still gentle...

- What time is it, show me "Coata," and I want it.

"- Ah."

Even to Erica's wishes, Kota kept going out of sight.

"- I think it's a mistake to blame Hota, right?

Ayano's words draw her gaze back.

"Shh, misaligned?

"Right? Hota was summoned on her own, sent to Terra on her own, and still did everything she could to rebuild Terra's finances, didn't she? I'd be nervous if I were you, no matter how many lives you had covered. In a super awesome environment, I'm determined to live with care. I can't even tell you the truth, I have to make you stick with a smile. If I fail, I don't know what they'll say or do. In that, he said, 'Why didn't you show me who you really are?' Why didn't you open your heart to us? '' That's what you say? Is that what you blame?

"We didn't know what we were going to do with Coata!

"So you said that?

"Oh, that's... yes, I told you!

"Ahhh. Then change the way you ask. Did you really make Kota believe that? Yeah, this might be hard to tell. Were you really open minded to Kota?

Naturally, I try to shout out loud - shut that mouth.

"Oh, that's..."

"Nothing. I'm not saying you can't hide anything. It wouldn't even be a thing to talk about everything. But right?"

If you want people to open their hearts... first, you have to open them from yourself.

"... well, good. Hey? So? How much do you know about Kota?

"Well, how long... well..."

At last, Erica stares at Ayano for lack of confidence. To the trick, Ayano flaunted his shoulder and sighed.

"Then again, I'll change the question. What kind of" Coata "do you guys know?

"Kota is... or kind, smart, polite, develops Terra, just a little mean, so..."

Ayano kept his cold eyes on Erica, one by one, telling her that as she remembered.

"Hmm, yeah. Is that who you know about Coata?

Ayano opens his mouth with a slightly sad look at Erica, Emili and Sonia sequentially, with no objection.

"So, you know which one's the best, Ho Fat?

"... ki, dominant?

"Oh, my god."

An unexpected Ayano question. For a moment, Erica was as pompous as a sneer, but the look on her face was also for a moment. To draw conclusions, the brain was spun fully.

"Ki, dominant? Oh, that's..."

Desperately evokes memory. When you run a brush on a paperwork, a hand with a cup, when you do something, the first thing you do is...

"Mi, right! Coata, you're right-handed!

"Correct. But right? Originally, Kota was left-handed. When you were little, you got corrected and right-handed, didn't you?

Isn't that right, Kota? To Ayano, who asks, Hota answers by accepting.

"Oh, what's wrong with that! I didn't know you were left-handed at first, but what the hell is wrong with you?

"After that, I like cafe au lait. He's dressed up and drinking black, but he actually still looks bitter after drinking black. I look forward to buying and reading comic book magazines at convenience stores every Monday. I cry as soon as I see a documentary on TV about struggling life or something. The game likes RPG and is eagerly awaiting the latest. I was collecting the 'Cars of the World' series of food games, but my bank cleaning aunt mistakenly dumped me for garbage, and I was pretty snagged. It's not a bad habit to have eyes, but when you look at a computer, you look like you're staring at it."

"Well, that's..."

"I like to walk blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. When I go karaoke, I sing pop, too, but Shime absolutely sings. I'll go to a drinking party if you ask me to, and I'll drink alcohol if you tell me to, but I don't like alcohol that much, and I'm not strong enough. I also like to travel there, and I'm traveling alone and stuff. You look solid, but you're actually not solid at all, you idiot who often missees timetables and stuff and waits a few hours at the station...... do you need it yet?

Erica shook her head left and right as she panicked to Ayano, who tilted her neck and asked.

"Yes, that's good! Enough is enough!"

"Really? There's more, isn't there? Oh, so to speak, huh? You look fat."

"I already said...... good!

If I knew "Hota" any more.

If they find out I've only seen 'Coata' any more.

- Because I can't get back on my feet.

"Hey, Mr. Scion?

Lie down, bite off your lips and glance at Erica shaking your shoulders, fixing that gaze to Scion. As he put his arms together and watched them become, Zion untied Ayano's arm, which he had assembled into his words.

"Scion is fine."

"Bye, Theon. You summoned Kota, didn't you?

"Yes."

"That shouldn't have been" Hota "? There are billions of people, from our world, because we need them, because Hota was good... you chose Hota?

"It doesn't have that kind of function. When I called, Coata came. That's all."

"It didn't have to be Kota, right?"

To Ayano's inquiry, he raised his gaze slightly into the hollow, sighing one as if he had given up.

"... affirmative"

"It didn't have to be Hota. I tried the machine I could summon and the opportunity I had to summon. Then Kota... Kota came out"

"... yes"

"I was able to summon you, so I used it for a while. Then he was the one who could use it unexpectedly. So it's not like I wanted anything else and I couldn't help it, but I can use it, so I thought I'd use it."

……

"When I found out I could use it, I kind of wasted it throwing away. I kind of hated being taken. It wasn't necessary, important, or important, but I wanted to keep it at hand because it was a little convenient to use."

Take a breath.

- Don't be ridiculous.

One knife, two breaks.

"I'm spared, why don't you throw it away? Would you stop treating Kouta like that?

"No, that's not true! I'm not dealing with Coata! I 'm-"

I... just want to be with Coata.

"Ahhh."

Neither does Erica's voice from within her heart resonate with Ayano.

"I don't know how big a position Hota is in among you. Maybe Hota is important, he loves Hota, and he wants to be with Hota."

"Oh, yeah! We're with Coata."

"But... is that just you guys?

"Huh?"

"Even I want to be with Kota, right? Even I want to be cute with Kota like you, right? Even I want to live with Kota, right?

Hey, and.

"Is that what I think... something I shouldn't do?

Hey, hey, and.

"I was deprived of someone I cared about, I was deprived of time I had fun and fun, I was worried and worried, I was worried to death, I finally met someone I wanted to meet - I want to be with Kota, not Kota -"

If you want it, you can't wait.

"I can't wait for you to want me to give Kota back..."

- Is it that bad? and.

There was nothing to reply to such words that came out of Ayano's crying smile.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Good day, Mr. Ayano"

"Good luck...... or sorry"

One room reserved as a holding room. Rudolph, who was hand-playing a cup of tea in a shabby mood, shook his head left and right with a bitter smile at Ayano, who came in with his head down.

"No. I don't mind. If you insist... it was a treat, was it?

"A treat... already, Mr. Rudolf"

"Excuse me."

"And... well, I'm really sorry"

"What is it?

"Well... here's a completely private story, smashing up the corner talks"

Rudolph quietly put the cup down, sipping the contents of the cup of tea he was playing with in his hand, to Ayano, who bowed his head again, looking really sorry.

"… I borrowed a little wash earlier."

……

"With all due respect, it's such a qualitative creation that I don't think it's the Duke's Hall. I met His Excellency the Duke on my way home."

Ayano makes a tannic surface to Rudolph, who says so funny that his face was pale.

"Hobbies, I'm sorry."

"Excuse me. Well, I don't think it's a hobby to catch up so badly that you look pale."

"Ha... that's good enough. So?"

"I think the key is not just diplomacy, but how much more negotiating matters can ultimately stand 'up' than the other party. Conditional aspects, but people negotiate, so naturally."

Slowly smile with your index finger at the cup of hooch you put down.

"That's all that upset me. Can we really get back on our feet by the time the peace talks start? Can you really stay calm with Mr. Ayano present? If you don't get flirted with by Mr. Ayano's words, can you say all that? Honestly, I don't think I can."

- And.

"It will certainly benefit the Kingdom of Larchia"

Ayano shows Rudolph, with a fierce grin, a more bitter face than earlier.

"... a real hobby, bad. I didn't mean anything like that, did I?

"Even so. You were so upset when you saw the extradition deed. I'm sure I really looked forward to reuniting with the Demon King in the matter and made an inspiring resumption. But thanks to that, my kingdom of Larchia will benefit."

Ayano, who made it seem silly to apologize earlier to Rudolph, who spreads his hands and smiles like people's goodness, what a wonderful story it would be, turned his foot again to the door that had just crept.

"Which way are you going?

"If you believe what Mr. Rudolph said, you'd better get a little more 'upset', wouldn't you?

"It's like dancing on a wound. It's a place of business. Will you still hunt down Erica?"

"Unlike Mr. Rudolph, I'm not such a bad taste. Even the Demon King is attending the pageant, right? Then let the Demon King be upset."

……

……

Silence. I saw Ayano sweating on his face as serious, and Rudolph sighed heavily.

"... what is it?

"No... you're not being honest. If you want to meet me, you can honestly say you want to meet me."

"Beh, nothing. I really don't want to see Kota! Oh, that."

"Oh, I get it. I get it. Now, come to the Demon King."

Hang on, Rudolph. Just a little peek at Rudolph to show you how to get rid of the dog.

"Mr. Rudolph."

"What is it?

"You'll be stabbed one day, you."

"I'm a politician. I'm ready to get stabbed."

To Rudolph, who shook his shoulders and said so, he uttered his tongue, and Ayano left the room behind.
