The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

There is a woman named Theon Baumgarden.

He was summoned by the Wang capital Larchia, mocked by Lotte for saying, 'You haven't seen people', and Liz told me again, 'I have no business in particular', a woman whom Hauta met who was completely disappointed. A woman who took on a very unfortunate personality for her striking appearance and her crisp style, even though the hard is high spec, the soft is super low spec.

"For a thousand years, the secrets of Emperor Alex, wrapped in mystery, may be revealed. That's it, I couldn't stop anymore. I am also aware that I suck as a person. But as climbers climb mountains, as cooks cook, as fishermen take fish, we scholars experiment."

Even though he was told that he had summoned him for mere academic interest, and that he had not summoned him for nothing, Hauta did not do anything to anger him. He won't be angry at you for giving up - not for that matter.

"I want to know."

'Do you want to know...?

"What's in this world? What the hell kind of secrets do we have in this world? Why can fish swim in the ocean plains without breathing, and why can birds fly? Why the fire burns, why the wind blows, why the earth can grow trees… I want to solve the mystery of this world, everything '

I wonder what this woman is talking about, honestly Kota thought so.

'... it'

I can't, I laughed and took control of Kota trying to carry on the words.

'I understand even if I don't dare be put into words.' Knowledge 'is infinite, but my time against it is' finite '. Less time is left for me to know everything about this world. And I also fully understand that wishing to' know everything 'is a very arrogant desire. Don't even think that God is the only one who has the Almighty. But I'm not otherwise itchy about this way of life. Every morning, every time I get out of bed, I even think I'm blessed by the world.' The day has begun today, Theon. Come on, let's go see a new world '. It's like you're' in love 'with the world. What are you going to tell me today? What are you going to show me today? Every day the world tells me different looks, different words, different thoughts. I love my life like that with new discoveries every day, when the same day doesn't come. And Courta, I can't help but thud at Alex's story that you're about to tell me. Come on, tell me quickly. Give me the knowledge. Give me this day so that I can thank the world for this encounter so that I can think of it as a wonderful thing to meet you - more, let the world' fall in love '

Kota remembers both some pity and some envy for a woman named Theon Baumgarden at this time… and at the same time realizes that we are both very 'similar beings'.

I'm not a genius, I'm an ordinary person.

Not loved by The World.

It can't be a 'special' person.

Still desperate for days, a 'hard worker'.

Kota, who moaned that "the world" didn't need him, and Zion, who pushes himself to heights to turn to the unloved "world". If you ask me, I pointed the vector of effort in a different direction, to be the possibility of "Possible Possible" Kota Matsudai.

Regardless, Haota did not affirm his envy for the life of Zion. Scion Baumgarden, unlikely to be a genius or anything, a special person or something, scratches his feet and tries even harder to cross a wall he can't cross so that he can fall in love with the world and turn to the world. From Kota's point of view, Shion's life was even as funny as Don Quixote, who ran across the loba and into the windmill.

'That's what I mean, Mr. Coata. This "chicara" of mine is such a "chicara" that it insults everyone, trying to unravel the truth. It's the worst thing you've ever done, sweat, tears, everything you've ever done. "

That's what Aria, Sion's sister, tells him, and Hota takes pity on Sion by putting her own thing on the shelf. Like Aria, you can't beat a human being who was originally born 'with it' by scratching his feet. The person who sticks that fact to the truth more than anyone else is his own sister. Even a poorly done drama is a pure fact that makes the setting a little more elaborate.

'Fair enough. I'm a genius. "

Therefore, Kouta's heart aches a little in such a scion as if it were nothing.

'Can I ask you something?

If you noticed, the words were popping out of Kota's mouth by themselves.

"If I can answer that."

'Um... is Mr. Scion... jealous or not?

You obviously don't remember being jealous of the people who go above you.

'... Aria would be a genius. A short relationship... or what are you saying about these things I just met you the other day... I think you're a genius, even if I asked you to talk to me. By contrast, Mr. Theon, you are... not a genius.'

"... well, I've certainly never thought of myself as a genius. Don't be afraid of misunderstandings, dare I say, I think the making of heads is only a little better than people, and the desire to know things is stronger than people, and I'm proud to be moving towards it... On top of that, if 'genius' asks me if I'm jealous of 'aria', the answer is' no '.

'Is that because Mr. Aria is my sister?

"... Aria and I are nine years apart. Nine years after I was born, I wasn't my sister. Aria has been a 'sister' since she was born, but not mine. Speaking of nine years old, I have a self, and to some extent, I'll be able to do my own thing. I was honestly excited about the fact that I had a sister. Then I'm going to have refined whether I'm a 'sister' or not. It wasn't my sister. I've been trying to be my sister. So to Aria, I don't remember being jealous of 'my sister'. I want my beloved sister to succeed more than anyone else. My little sister wants to be smiling and a smiling environment more than anyone else. So... oh, yeah. I guess I can't help but think Aria's cute and cute."

I can't remember being jealous because I'm a blood connected sister. I am pleased with the success of the family - with some exceptions, it is the common truth of the whole world.

'... but isn't that because Aria is' my sister '?

Because Aria is my sister. I'm happy to succeed because I'm a blood connected family. In and of itself, Kota understands. I can see that.

"Not Aria, if there was another 'genius'... wouldn't you be jealous, Mr. Scion?

So, what about the unconnected, red others?

'... that's unusual. Coata's going to stick that far in and ask.'

'... is that right?

'Well, it's my own imagination. I thought you were a little paler.'

Theon's words are getting straight. If it's the usual Kota, he hasn't made a statement that went this far.

"... I have a lot to think about."

Do you want to hear it?

Nonetheless, it is Kota who will expose his own mood to this point.

"... somehow, Mr. Zion and I felt alike"

Just a little bit of anticipation that you might get an 'answer' here.

"I'm not a very talented person myself. One way or another, it's the kind of thing I've managed to do with my efforts. '

"That's not the human language that developed Terra." Demon King, "was it?

'Please don't tear it up. Besides, anybody can do that. "

"The economy is a gatekeeper... wouldn't that happen?

'No. In the end, I just brought what I could in' The Other World '. What was it...... oh yeah, it's the one called' Cheat '. I cheated, I cheated.

I just used the knowledge I originally had. I haven't done anything imaginary, anything creative, that's all.

'Well...... let's hear the opposite, Coata. Are you jealous of' genius'?

The word stuffs my breath unexpectedly.

'... I am,' giving up '

If it raises another characteristic of Kota Matsudai's personality, it is called "warmth".

'This is by no means a denial of effort. I think if you make an effort, you will be rewarded eventually. But.'

Kota Matsudai basically doesn't do "angry things" to people.

"An overwhelming talent... in front of a man with a talent loved by heaven, hard work is pointless."

Is that what Aria said... or what my father said?

In front of her, or their "genius," the realm is untraceable no matter how much effort and strength ordinary people such as Theon and Hota put into it.

'... so I'm' giving up '. I don't have a lot of talent, I don't have a lot of power, I don't have anything to be very proud of...'

... from the beginning, I 'give up' everything. To myself, to the world...... and to 'others'.

"... jealousy, I can't remember."

When anger is directed at others, it is often attributed to the fact that 'expectations' have been betrayed. For example, if a mother is angry with her son to 'study more', that anger is because the son has an attitude that goes against the mother's expectations of 'learning more'.

"... Hmm."

Kota Matsudai does not 'expect'. Because where I expected it, I knew that the more I expected the other person to move the way I expected it to, the greater the recoil I would be betrayed.

'You're living in a different dimension. Genius and us ordinary people. "

If you return the back, Kota Matsudai is "warm" simply because his awareness of others is rare. And Kota, whose consciousness towards others is rare, never remembers to be jealous. The enemy of Kota Matsudai is Kota Matsudai in the past, which is good to say, but the point is that Kota doesn't care about other people. Whether others succeed or fail, it doesn't matter to Kota, I don't remember jealousy or anything more than being such a person.

"… The University of Larchia is the highest school in the Kingdom of Flame. Since it was originally an imperial university, the University of Larchia is home to a variety of students, not only from Flame, but also from countries throughout Orkena. Aria is almost out of standard... but still thinks she has met a number of people commonly known as' geniuses'. But I've never been jealous of them. Corta, you said the dimensions of life are different. It is true that Aria and I have different dimensions... what we see will be different. Regardless, I understand what Cota is saying. If you can do it that way, don't think so. But that's not 'jealousy'. Right, if you insist... '

"Vision," he said.

'How about... hey?

"Oh. Genius, even if there is a longing for them, there is no jealousy and seclusion of their talents. If the geniuses are looking down from a far higher place with that talent loved by heaven, I rise to the height of the geniuses by growing a wing of effort on the talent given to me. If there's a wall there, we'll try to get over it. Whatever, I admire you, I do. Like Coata said, it might be a good idea to give up. If it's difficult for the wall in front of you to run up, it's not a bad way to avoid it. Even if we don't force ourselves over that wall, there may be a path beside us, behind us, in the basement. In the first place, I don't even know if that path is the right one. The idea... to abandon the idea of 'looking for other paths' and just try to get through the difficulties in front of you with just your efforts without looking at your powers... maybe the laziest way '

'I listen to people until the end. What about you? The walls of "The Height You Can Climb" are desperate to climb. To do this, I work out my body, I buy Zail, and I take rock climbing classes. But there's nothing you can do about it. If it's a wall of height, you're the type to quit climbing.'

... Oh, Ayano.

'That's... but isn't that what we all do?

But that's the way of life, Theon Baumgarden.

There he is. "Someone who isn't," Kota thought.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

Hauta, who was to be part of the plan to rebuild the Hotel Larchia, was, to be honest, much more alive than his life in Rondo de Terra. Although both the reconstruction of Terra and the reconstruction of Hotel Larchia are the same 'reconstruction', Terra is a territory, an unknown field that Kota has never experienced before. I just forced myself into the knowledge I knew.

Hotel Larchia, by contrast, is entirely a 'management improvement'. If you ask me, it's a weird story, but it's also something I'm used to, than being a real job, a gold lending professional. In addition, it includes a partnership with Yuna Hotel Group. There is also a perception of the problem, after which everything depends on the operation. Plus.

"Velour!"

'I know! I'll do the stuffing on the terms. If you have any suggestions from the Hotel Larchia side, why don't you put them together as soon as possible!

"Oh! What about Mr. Coata?

"If the plan is approved, I will make a summary of how much the plan will contribute to Hotel Larchia. Will we need to estimate the occupancy rate of the rooms and the revenue associated with it? If you just want to 'go through' the plan, you can make a diagonally oriented plan...... anyway. Create a revenue and expenditure plan with a foot on the ground with evidence attached '

'Is it okay if I leave that to you?

"I'm in charge of aggregating data, so I'll take care of it. Mr. Velour? '

"Materials about Yuna's number of customers? Yuna gave it to me, so if you judge me, I'll fly."

"Thank you"

"What else do you need?

'In addition, is... well, can you tell me the average merchant's income for someone about the age of Mr. Velour in Kato?

"Income? Sora, yeah... why?

"It's because of some realistic unit pricing. Can't be too expensive or too cheap, can you?

"Oh, Naruto. Okay, I'll figure it out later!

Purely, some of it was fun. With the exception of Ayano, Kota has no experience with synchronization and work, and none of them have the same experience of 'accomplishing something one thing' by sticking their heads together with people of the same age as in this reconstruction plan. It was the biggest survivor of Hotel Larchia, very careless graffiti, but there was also a sense of aurority, like during the school festival preparations - most importantly, because I was glad that you could rely on just Hota Matsudai, who removed the sign 'Banker'.

The rapprochement with Zion also gradually, but surely deepened. Sometimes things very similar to each other in Kota were not pitiful to each other, but Theon could not be left alone somehow, and I wanted to see a little more of this' woman who continues her efforts in a vector different from her own '. Regardless, I do not deny the fact that Theon's contents were more' unfortunate 'than I imagined, and that he acted as a penetrator in it, or… more importantly, that it was not a relationship that felt like a' crisis of life 'to Liz or Erica, nor was it an important factor in bridging the distance between the hearts.

Approved at the management meeting of the plan for the reconstruction of Hotel Larchia, often. By the time he comes accustomed to his life in Larchia, Hota is abruptly ordered to return to Rondo de Terra. Call it in convenience and go home in convenience, and there was only a little bit of anger in the boulder, too. Seriously, I thought this life in Larchia was fun, so extra.

'You are a very smart man.' Good to give up 'tends to be taken backwards but never. Human beings are the only idiots who try to keep doing 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. Not overconfident in power, not chronic in strength. In the end - you think I can't win. 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.'

As if to shrivel the anger of Hauta, Hauta did not carry on two sentences to the words of Lotte Baumgarden as if she had seen through a human being named 'Hauta Matsudai'. As I said, Kota is not a person who can penetrate 'impossible' events without thinking about it later.

'So... this is not a favor. It's an order.

To that Lotte's words, Kota had to shake his head vertically.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"... you're getting a little chilly"

Slowly opening his closed eyes, Kota stares at the table placed in front of him and the pot and cup on it. Its tea set, which reflected and glowed the moonlight, glowed beautifully as if to mock Kota's current mood.

"- The moon is so beautiful, is it?"

At some point, the words of the confession that went to Ayano. Kouta laughs at herself in anticipation of the unwanted happiness of being able to return it as it is.

"You've got a lot going on."

I am delighted that Ayano confessed. Naturally, he reached out and was taken away the moment he was about to reach for it, and he was given it again. There's no reason to be unhappy.

"... too many things have happened... I don't know why, Ayano."

In my head, it's a mess.

You get what you've been craving. A place that would snort without a single thing or two if it were meant to be. Good, from now on, living with Ayano, two people from Japan who were flown to another world: the Orkena continent, trying to live hand in hand.

'Just let's live together,' I should say.

"... I wonder what's hooking you up, me"

The 'starch' somewhere in my mind, however, pushes that word back.

'Really, is that good?' And another Kota - 'Kota' asks and keeps asking.

However, as Ayano tells me, is it really good to just follow Ayano and live in the Kingdom of Larchia?

So, you -- "Kota Matsudai," I was wondering if it was really good.

"... should be good, yet"

There's nothing wrong with it, nobody makes it a problem, with an answer like that, it should be an answer.

"... really, I don't know why."

"It's one hand to worry when you don't know why, but it's not a bad idea to leave yourself to tension, is it?

It was from behind that I heard a voice reacting to a soliloquy that I didn't think would return a response. Moving as May flies as my heart jumps, I look back at it with its beating.

"... His Excellency Chancellor Rudolph?

"Excuse me, I wasn't going to stand ear to ear...... what, it's such a beautiful moonlit night, so I was just trying to sneak in for a little walk at night"

I stumbled upon Lord Matushiro, and Rudolph smiled with a smile without looking bad. Kota stared at the figure with a frigid eye and opened her mouth.

"If so, it would have been nice if you had stayed calm without speaking to me"

"Oh? Was it annoying?

"At least, it was bad for the heart. Honestly, I was surprised."

"That's rude. I would have passed in silence at a time like this if it wasn't for a place like this... but this is a chance at the corner."

"Opportunity?"

Yeah, he nodded, and Rudolph glanced at Hota's eyes from the bottom as he slipped his body into the chair in front of him, where Ayano had been sitting until earlier, without his permission.

I just wanted to talk to you, Lord Matushiro.

That's what I said, and I laughed and showed him.

"Talk, is it? I'm sorry, My Lord Rudolph. It's too late for the evening, and for that story to be tomorrow..."

"About harmonious conditions,"

"- Yes?"

"Talk about harmonious conditions,. I wanted to talk to you."

"... because His Excellency the Duke of Erica has spoken to you?

"No."

"So I suppose it's up to you to talk to His Excellency Erica first?

"Even if I put that down, I thought I should talk to you first. To you, a rare and famous statesman, who has developed the Terra -"

- I thought I'd talk to the Demon King first.

That's what Rudolph made me laugh lightly under the moonlight.
