The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

At the same time as he got off the carriage, he pressed his hair disturbed by the wind blowing hard on the meadow. Ayano pointed his gaze in the opposite direction of travel, that is, towards Terra - the direction where Kota Matsudai runs. The appearance of Kouta, who has just suffered from lack of exercise or runs to his feet, is too unusual and poorly dressed, and stares at him with a bitter smile.

"... I'm gonna wake up with a hundred years of love, that's all."

Of talking to myself, I intend.

"What? You gonna wake up?

Ayano, who shrugged like that, was just a little surprised that he had responded, and only glanced at you and glanced over his shoulder.

"No way. I'm just saying. It's a love affair that crosses the world? You'll never wake up, Mr. Scion."

"Pretty light for that, huh? My dear, dear, dear Coata is going far away, isn't she?

"What? Stick it at your feet and say, 'Don't go!' Should I have cried?

Like that Duke's daughter, Erica looks tearful by holding her mouth with both hands at the tip of her finger. He laid down his figure at the edge of his sight, and Shion shook his shoulders, as did Ayano.

"I'm not gonna say that much."

"Well, that's not my character. I can't believe I cried at my feet. That kind of cute work is the work of a princess."

"Hmm. Then let's hear it. Ayano, what's your job?

"It's the role of the Virgin to illuminate and guide the brave, isn't it?

"He's the Demon King, isn't he? Much different from the righteous side, though?

"That's a matter of way of looking. From the kingdom of the demon king, you're the strongest brave, heroic, heroic, demon king."

That said, um, one back stretch. Afterwards, I shake my head to the left and right, not to look like an elderly woman, and make it look like it was a pounding bone.

"Anything like that is fine. Personally, I didn't want to see Kota like that. I don't think it's fun. I hope Kota laughs spicy."

"Hmm."

"I want Kota to be laughing at all times. I don't want to see a hard face, a sad face, or a crying face. I just want Kota to be laughing like an idiot. So, his - what, Mr. Scion? Why are you laughing?

Ayano turns to Zion, who holds his mouth down and rings and laughs as he comes down his throat. Returning 'rude' to that gaze, Theon took the cigarette out of his white pocket and set it on fire, cleverly causing the purple smoke to creep into his lungs.

"I'm telling you a lot... Ayano in the end, you're just being patient, aren't you?

"Patience? What? - Oh, if you're saying that Kota's attitude is unbearable -"

"No."

No, let me see your right hand shake left and right with a cigarette in your mouth.

"Ayano, you didn't say a word," I don't want to be with that Hota, "did you?

"... is that it?

"Misleading?

An intertwined gaze. To Ayano, whose gaze is gently diverted, Zion folds.

"Don't you want to see a spicy, crying, sad coata? I see, you guys are really very similar where you push and kill your emotions but wish people happiness. Is that what the other world is, or is that what 'banks' are?

"'Adults' are all like this, aren't they?

"Because I am. What I don't enjoy... I don't mind ending up like," If I put up with you and Cotta's happy, I'm happy, too. "

"That's a good character, you."

"Take a compliment and put it down"

Ayano sighed with a shuddering face on Zion's throat as she creaked again.

"Everyone doesn't have a 'congrats personality' like you."

"Patience matters, too," he said?

"I don't have any cuteness. I know you well, me. Both the role you are required to play and the role you should play"

"You look more troublesome than Coata."

"I don't know, because Kota is simple"

Let's go, Ayano urges. I put my foot on the tarrap trying to get in the carriage, and I turn my surprise gaze at Scion, who doesn't make the spot slight.

"What are you doing? Go back now. Mr. Rudolph's gonna be pissed when it's too late. - Wow! Hey, hey, Mr. Scion! What are you doing!

On Ayano's face, Shion spits a large amount of purple smoke. Ayano coughed heavily at her mouth, which was left open.

"Keho! Hey! What are you thinking, you! I'm a non-smoker! Wow, you smelled your hair! No more, it sucks!

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

"Which mouth says it!

"No, I'm very sorry. What can I say apologize for, but can I lend you even this busty breast of mine?

"Huh? I don't know what that means!

"Non-smokers aren't used to tobacco smoke, are they? That's what happened when I first smoked it, too."

"So!"

"Here's the smoke coming up from the beginning, stain your eyes. I couldn't help but cry."

So.

"What do you say? Ayano, can't 'tears' come out?

Shake the cigarette pinched with your right index finger and middle finger to the left and right to show.

"... If you're ashamed of your crying face, I'll lend you about your chest?

to that word.

"... Huh? What are you wearing?

Words are, back bellies.

Put down his leg on the tarap and Ayano moves on to Sion. As the momentum stood, I buried my face pofn on my chest.

"... thank you, let me use it"

"Do it."

"... this is just smoke staining my eyes."

"Oh, you know that, don't you? You're the guy called 'Follow Me', right?

"No, I'm not."

"Hmm? 'It's nothing. It's not every day! Isn't that" follow me "? Did Kota tell you?

"That idiot, what are you telling me?"

……

……

"... I liked it, it was"

Pottori, and.

"... Hmm"

"I loved it. I've always loved it, and I always will."

"Right."

"It's okay, nothing. It doesn't matter if you're dressed badly, pitiful, or how unusual."

Just beside.

"... I like it, it is. Daisy... it's..."

Shake your shoulders.

"I've always wanted to be beside you..."

"... you guys are really annoying people"

"... hiku... like this... like this..."

The whimper, which was small, gradually grows larger and higher. Shoulder to shoulder in the wind, quietly throughout the meadow, and in the tears that surely transmitted its voice and its own chest, Zion clasped a cigarette in his hand.

"And... well, the Virgin in the matter says this, but I think we can actually do something about it, Lord Rudolph?

Without looking back, only the words are thrown behind themselves in that attitude with the tobacco on. In a sensitive reaction to the word 'Rudolph', Ayano raised his face from Zion's chest in surprise at his expression.

"Honestly, you're in trouble"

Confused - rather than seeing Rudolph smiling bitterly like just a little bit. I saw Ayano with his mouth wide open and speechless as a chillary, and Zion continued his words.

"If my memory is certain, do I remember that 'staffing for mutual development' was outside the Convention, so to speak, within the scope of the Memorandum of Understanding?

"Right. That's what I remember."

"So is it okay with the perception that this current situation, which Coata is now running to Miss Erica, is not a serious' breach of the Treaty '?

"... well, it's not a violation of the treaty. However, there is also the problem of the face of our country, which was about to be welcomed with the treatment of national guests, right? I don't know if it's a diplomatic courtesy not to come while I'm telling you."

"I'll change my mind, but I can see Coata. She's weak."

"Hmm?"

"Apparently, he's not feeling well. It's not good for Coata to suddenly go to the kingdom of Larchia with different waters, oh, very bad. What, Lord Rudolph, don't worry. I didn't say I wasn't going. I'll be on my way when I'm feeling better. Or... something? Does the Kingdom of Larchia intend to take you to Larchia with a rope around the neck of the 'ill' coata? I wonder if it would be better as a diplomatic courtesy?

"... you don't want to get old. I can see Lord Matushiro running fine in my eyes?

"You must be hallucinating, Lord Rudolph. If you really don't like being ill... right, even emotionally unstable?

"Will you make an effort to delude me a little?

"I'm a scholar. I don't like that kind of turkey belly art."

"I say it well. Lotte Baumgarden."

"Lotte Ong is irrelevant. I am speaking as Theon Baumgarden, Principal Fellow of the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of Flame, Your Excellency Chancellor Rudolph?

Intertwined, gaze. Without distraction, Theon continues his words.

"I don't mind asking my own country for an inquiry, but I am responsible for the summons of Courta Matussillo and am now an identity underwriter"

"... now, would you like to say that?

"If you're going to the Kingdom of Larchia at the will of Cota, I thought I'd respect that, too. But things have changed. As for the kingdom of Flame, I'm not going to admit Courta Matussillo to Larchia."

Whatever, 'I'm not feeling well', let me see your shoulders.

"Do you know if I have that authority or not?

……

"What, I'll pay you back this' debt '. How much authority do you have over the chief researcher, Lord Rudolph?

"I don't have a choice."

Like a fright, one sigh.

"Let me talk to Larchia in my own country. Instead."

"I know. Send a few promising researchers to Larchia at the Academy. Talent exchange would be enough, wouldn't it?

"Never."

Courtesy, Rudolph tries to get back to the carriage he came on his own at the end of the story.

"My lord."

That Rudolph's leg, Theon's words stop. Looking back to Rudolph in surprise, Scion stared at Rudolph, pushing the smoke in his pocket ashtray.

"We're sending people from here. Why don't you send someone from there?"

"... we don't have enough people in our country to send to the Flame Kingdom, do we? Even if not, human resources are depleted by the war. That's what the memorandum says?

"I'm not asking you to send the people you need to rebuild. But you'll need it, won't you? There's no need to rebuild, there's enough people to match the Demon King."

That said, I couldn't keep up with the flow of the story, and I saw Ayano opening his mouth with Pocan.

"Let this Virgin fall into the kingdom of Flame."

Talk that far and stop the words.

"........................... Tanuki?

"Buzz fly"

Tears removed makeup, and Ayano dyed it black around his eyes, inadvertently leaking the true meaning of Zion. Ayano responds sensitively to the words and grips his fist like he's ever lied to.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry! One, word leaked."

"Yeah, okay. You're selling me fights, aren't you? It felt pretty serial, now. I have to get bogged down or I'm gonna die.

"No, you didn't mess it up. Here's the thing, really Tanu -"

"Don't say any more. Are you sure you want to jump?

He shook his head left and right in a hurry, indicating a denial and one cohon and cough.

"... does that make you think you'll be deluded?

"Be deluded, please. Anyway. The role of 'god' needed to end the war would be over by now, wouldn't it?

"That's a bad way to put it."

"It's true. If it's not worth your while, I wanted to pick it up here. It's a war preceded by emotions. I solved the unconvincing parts of" interest "and" reason "alone with the paranormal presence of" Virgin, "but that kind of gold plating can be peeled off immediately?

"Hmm. Shall I ask the other way, Lord Theon? Why did you want to take over the Virgin without that" value for use "?

"What do you mean?

"You are in charge of the Coata Matussillo summons. Then I was summoned -" Demon King "and" Virgin "still have" value for use "-"

No wonder I thought so.

Theon snorted at Rudolph's gaze like he deserved it.

"Because I want to."

"............ what?

"Ayano's Usage Value? There is no such thing. On the contrary, it's like purposefully bringing in the seeds of trouble."

"... So why?

"Ayano said he wanted to stay with Coata. It would be better to stay close than to be separated from someone you met in the corner."

Especially since Coata's "hard work" won't stop, but he laughs and shows it like a prankster.

"If I could, I'd be those two - no, I'd like to see the sight of everyone laughing and spending time, including Miss Erica, Miss Emily and Lady Sonia. So... right. If you ask me, this is..."

My best, he said.

"... cum... cook... hahahahahaha! No, excuse me... Cook... did you come to 'Exhaust'"

Rudolph bursts into laughter at the outrageous Zion. Ayano rounding his eyes to that 'blast' you can't imagine from him who was always floating. Rudolph turned his gaze toward Zion, wiping tears floating in his eyeballs.

"No, it's been a long time since I've laughed like this"

"Because I am my identity."

"Let's withdraw the foreword. You are undoubtedly Lord Lotte."

"There are things that cannot be justified when they are made with Lotte Ong. Besides, there's no direct blood connection."

"Then is it Baumgarden's home style? Anyway, if you say so, you can't say anything to me."

That said, turn your gaze to Ayano.

"- Virgin."

"... Yes"

"As I said the other day, I promise you the best possible treatment if you return to the Kingdom of Larchia. I'll have the house, the land, the food, the title if you want. We guarantee a life free of disability."

"... thank you"

But.

"... if I may say so... I would like to go to Terra..."

……

"I don't need a house, a land, or a title. No extravagant food, no beautiful gems, nothing. It's just-- it's just that I'm..."

- I want to be with Hota.

"... Lord Zion, make only one correction"

"Let's hear it."

"We asked the Virgin to help us, but we never took care of it because it was' worth using '. I watched her personality, her temperament, her kindness, her strength, all of that flinch… well, I was feeling like a parent."

So, please.

"-" Ayano, "thank you. Please, to her."

Happiness.

Deep, deep head down.

"... Theon Baumgarden did take care of it - just wanted to say"

Whether or not you grasp 'happiness' depends on you, says Scion, who turns his challenging gaze to Ayano. I got that gaze, grinned - tears in my eyes, and still grinned.

"- Thank you, Mr Rudolph. It's okay! Because I, I'm going to be 'happy'!

Rudolph watched Ayano gently, and warmly, lifting his lowered head, crying and laughing, and still having a beautiful, flying grin.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

I was afraid to look back.

"Erica ahhhhhhhhhh!

I heard you scream. If that's not the case, he thinks this is a 'want' fantasy himself, and Erica lifts her hands to her ear to block her ears, stopping the movement.

- Maybe.

It's not an illusion, maybe Kota is really screaming. Maybe Kota is chasing me. Maybe...

Behind his own back, there may be Kota.

Take a big, deep breath so you don't get shocked. Around, still dare Erica to look back.

At the end of his gaze, I saw Hota's - my darling.

"- Eh!"

A voiceless voice leaks from the mouth with both hands on it. I saw Kota running over here seeping in tears, and I thought maybe that seeping sight was showing hallucinations, and I rushed to wipe the tears with my hands on my mouth.

Without a doubt, there was a look of Hota running this way.

"- Coata!

At the same time as her voice, Erica's body runs alone. The speed of one's own thinking and the slowness of one's moving feet do not cleverly bite each other, and one feels floating as if running on a cloud.

Lighter.

I think so. My mind is back to back, my body doesn't go as far as I want. The hurried foot does not go with the heart that desires to be empty, fast, fast, and Erica's foot throws that body into the earth that does not capture the ground.

"... Huh!

Make a big noise and fall. Raise your face with a flat face and make sure your own heel is broken, then take off both shoes. The knee boy shrugs, and Erica runs, not caring if there is a glimmer of mud on his face.

More - faster.

"Coata uhhhhh!

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Was it a good idea?

"What do you want me to sit in?

"I gave it to Erica."

Sonia asks Emily that, keeping her gaze fixed on Erica, who runs toward Kota. Like Sonia like that, Emily opened her mouth with her gaze fixed on Erica.

"If it's dramatic, it's good, but I can't do it because it's impossible for me to do it. Running faster than Master Courta would be cute on a boulder, wouldn't it?

"I don't think Erica wanted to call you anything else."

"So it is. Erica, who doesn't think anything, doesn't think anything, just wants the Kota in her heart, is better suited for this occasion. I'm just going to wait here for Erica to bring Corta back to Terra."

Talk that far, shut your mouth, and point your gaze at Sonia.

"Dear Sonia, was it a pleasure?

"For I still have a bud of reversal. I'll give it to Erica this time. But if you don't, you won't have to run away for the rest of your life, Master Erica."

"Be nice."

"I can afford it, me"

Fusu, and Sonia, who takes her breath out of her nose and puts her hand on her hips and stares forward. Emily also broke up with the laughter of that benevolent mother, who was not of her age.

"... Shall we go home, Master Sonia?"

"Oh? Wouldn't you like to see it till the end? This is the show, isn't it?

"Because I think it would be too disrespectful to see the Lord wandering on the boulders"

"Is that what it is?

"The maid you can sit on something that watches you softly from the shadows"

And.

"- I don't even want to see my own thinkers embrace other women."

"... you agree, that's"

"Let's sit on something that makes you angry, shall we?

"Not quite, but rather,"

"Then it's still a matter of time."

Again, look at Erica with a gentle look.

"- Come on, then let's go home. I'm going to put more on my arm today to make a treat. Shall I make your favorite thing?"

"Is it a treat? That's just-- is that what you're saying, Emily? Are you aiming to increase your points?

"... well, what are you doing? I don't think I understand."

"No, it's cheating, Mr. Emily!" Wow, that's an amazing treat, Emily. "" Yeah, I made it more on your arm for Kota. "" Emily. "" Kota. "You're going to create a sweet atmosphere where you flew the heartmark!

"You often imagine that working, don't you? Well... I'm not sure it's a mistake. Earn points where you can."

"Belly black!

"I'll sit in the realm."

"Oh, Mr. Emily! Wow, me! I'll help you, too!

"'Dear Coata, this salad! I made it! I said,' Do you want me to stroke your head? Dear Boulder Sonia, I am bruised."

"It's a proprietary patent!

"I don't mind...... I just served it and said, 'I made it! I'm not gonna let you say that, am I?

"Gu! Well, do something about it..."

One bitter laugh at Sonia, who shows her uplift with her slightly moistened eyes. Slowly stroke that head and press' OK 'and Sonia's shoulder back to the mansion.

"... Dear Erica"

Stop and just turn your gaze back.

"- Good luck! I'll sit down."

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"- Erica!

A voice leaks out of Kota's mouth to guide the girl who leaves her shoes behind and lets her five bodies lie on the earth like she throws them out. That voice, which could not have arrived, still Erica stands up and rushes towards herself.

- I'm glad to hear that.

"- Eh!!!

He makes a cry without a voice, and Kota increases the speed of his feet. As if a force were gushing from your body, increase your speed and gently run to Erica.

- Oh, my God, there's no such 'miracle'.

Kota Matsudai is a normal person.

No cheat ability, no genius talent, no sense of genius, no subpoena privilege, not even the idiotic power of a fire place, not even able to perform cheap miracles, unusual, pitiful, poorly dressed, pitiful 'Demon King', that's why I just run. Relax, regain the position you're about to fall, just run. Just to grab the future you can grab, just run.

- Eventually, his distance to me goes to zero.

"Coata - Gotta!

"Erica!"

At the end of the day, Erica finally arrives out of balance. He gets caught in the hand that Kota reached out to take it - almost pushing it down, Erica jumps into Kota's chest. I did everything I could to run it off. Kota, who is not good at exercising, is already completely exhausted from his ankles. Naturally, we couldn't take it well, but we lost the momentum and threw ourselves on the ground.

"- Whoa! -! - Whoa!!

A voice without a voice. Crying, Erica buries her face in Kota's chest. Don't just say it's your own thing, but like a smelling cat, you put your face strong and strong on your chest.

- Erica.

Often, Kota, who was left behind, slowly pulls Erica's face out of her chest. I gently pointed my index finger at my right cheek to wipe my tear-wet cheek and mud. I can't help but love Erica, who closes her right eye like a toddler to keep up with the movement.

"... me. I really don't have 'nothing'. Poorly dressed, unattractive, pitiful... still do now, don't you think? Drama, comics, theater, that's where you hug Erica? Erica's pushing me down, isn't she?

……

"I have no great knowledge, no talent. All you can do is try, but if you don't think that's even possible, you give up easily. Wow, Dasey's, me."

……

"I'm only good at finding motives to quit, reasons to run, and hang-ups to give up. I don't have the will to go on, the energy to accomplish it, or the talent to keep an eye on it. I'm trying, 'cause there's no positive reason at all. I'm just desperately following you around so you don't lag behind."

- That's why.

"- Really, I'm not a big person. Whether you're summoned as a" brave man "or called a" demon king, "that's not true at all, in a normal, truly normal person."

- But, and.

"- Hey, Erica. That's me..."

- I was wondering if you could tell me you needed me.

"- No, no, it's not like this. This hasn't changed anything. I haven't grown into anything."

Shake your head from left to right to deny your own words at all times.

- Show me what time it is, a grin like a shudder, and shoulder to shoulder.

- Hey, Erica, I'm here.

I want to be your 'need'.

"It's not 'to be', it's 'to be'. I don't want to be flushed around, I just - I want to be beside you from the bottom of my heart."

"-!"

"No, I guess not?

No response. Remaining sighted seeping with tears, Erica buries her face on her chest again as she waves Kota's hand away. 'It's no good,' he said, shaking his head left and right with Kota's chest as he insisted.

"- Oh well. I don't think so. Ha, good."

"... no, not"

"Can I stay by your side?

"... Fine. Or I want you to stay."

"Oh well."

"Yes."

……

……

- I'll do my best.

……

"I can't tell you anything specific about what, how or what, and I'm aware that I'm saying something really fluffy."

But.

Still.

- I'll do my best.

Tell him so, Kota.

"- Yeah."

I raise my face from my chest, and I wipe the tears that flow with my hands gushing, and Erica raises her face.

"... all the time"

……

"... always be by our side."

"... oh"

"You don't have to look bad, you don't have to pity me, you don't need to know a lot, you don't need to say great talent. Just stay by my side."

No, to Erica's words.

"Huh?"

Kota shakes his head beside him in silence. He gave a rushed look at the trick, gently wiping Erica's cheek with tears in his eyes, and smiling.

"I don't like being poorly dressed. I don't like pity either. The talent... I can't help but follow the knowledge as it is all born and held. So I don't want to stay here like this."

That's because it's 'passive' after all.

"So I'll try harder now"

Look at that, Kota, who smiles like a prankster that Erica has never seen before.

"... silly"

"It's stupid, isn't it?

"Coata's a good fit."

"Sort of. I won't deny it."

"Hmm. I thought I'd make the corner easier and lift it up."

"That's a fascinating suggestion in there, too."

Unfortunately, and.

"The banker is - Kota Matsudai is a 'hard worker', isn't he? Even if it looks like this."

"- Really, silly"

Pohun, and make a noise. Erica buries her face in Kota's chest again. Dokun, I feel good about the beating of dokun, and then I'm embarrassed, but I can't leave.

"- 'Sweet' is a 'girl' privilege, isn't it?

"Did I say something?

"What..."

I didn't say anything.

"- I said hold him harder."

"... Roger, princess"

"I asked you, Kota... No, 'Kota'"

They did so and hugged each other until the two shadows lit by the sun about to set stretched long into the meadows and eventually became one.
