The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode 72: Larchian Holidays/Part One

Kota Matsudai was restless that morning.

The reason is very simple, because today is Ayano's date day.

I want you to think about it. Ayano Okawa is a woman that Kota fell in love with. That's also the first time I wanted to 'get it' when Hota was born, if you ask me, he's my first love. If the woman favors you and invites you on a date on top of that, then it would be more of a lie not to rise.

"... I should have gotten Mr. Theon a cigarette... don't you think? You can't smoke, me."

Boulevard one bottle north of the Royal Castle of Larchia. The sun, shining brightly at the top of the heavens, only slightly weakens its momentum and lengthens the shadow of Hota. Hota stood out hand-held in a meeting place that seemed to dazzle the light of such a day and was still a splendid building of things somewhat smaller than the royal castle. "Girls have a lot to prepare for! Leave me alone! 'I snorted at Ayano's words and came all the way to the rendezvous place by myself to see things... I have nothing to do.

"I'm tired of human observation... come quickly, Ayano guy"

Sitting on the edge of a tall wall, Hota spits out such words in a sigh of sight as he sees no one going to the city. He's pretty dangerous from the edge.

"... generally, what is preparation, what is preparation? To the habit of a raccoon. Even the leaves will turn you on your head."

Rarely does Kota vomit such poison. Sometimes I say that it's Ayano, who is thoughtful... and most importantly, it's unstable if you haven't tapped even one of the light mouths. Mainly, the spirit is better.

"Ayano, who looks like a bandit's parent in the first place, is somewhat nicely dressed."

"... heh? What the hell would a bandit look like if he wore it?

"Ayano, are you sure? I'm sure..."

The voice I heard came from behind.

"... what time have you heard?

"From around" I'm busy with my raccoon habits, Puggy "?

"I didn't say it! Because I didn't say that much!

"Oh? Did you? But... what do you think?

I'm scared, I can't look back. Hota imagined that the raccoon must be a big ghost and happy behind himself... very unfortunately, the imagination was quite close to reality.

"Come on, Hota? Shall we look back slowly? Don't laugh at the raccoon's face."

"... if I laugh, will I be angry?

"I'm gonna hit you."

"You've soaked up all the processes, dude! Disagree with violence!"

"Word violence, don't you think? Well, that's good. Come on, Kota? Will you look back quickly?

"No... I'm getting kind of a stomachache"

"It's okay, 'cause my cheek hurts next time"

"... it's not okay at all, it"

"Details are good! Come on, let's just turn around!

Ayano's slightly irritated voice also prepares Hota. Even though it's to mislead the lightning and tension, it's my fault that I was slapping myself in the pussy. Think so, be prepared and look back.

"... hey, what? Weren't you laughing?

Black dress for a larger, flower-shaped hair decoration. He has a white shawl over his shoulder that would have a wide open shoulder. The glowing silver necklace on the chest looks good in contrast to the black dress.

Ayano, who normally should only have the jaw position of Hota, looked a little higher due to the influence of his heels, and the gap with his regular outfit was met, giving Kota the impression as if he were someone else.

"... Ayano, right?

"It's obvious. Who were you talking to earlier?

"Oh, no... well, I am"

No words. Ayano's complexion changes to Kota, who, even though he knows it is unfair, sees it as a giddy from top to bottom.

"Uh... heh, weird...?

To that of shame, not anger. Ayano responded with a mixed look of habit, anticipation and anxiety by shaking his head to the left and right with momentum.

"Heh, that's not weird! Damn, that's not weird at all!

"Oh, yeah? Do you look good in that...?

"Oh, oh... you look great"

"... eheheheh. Oh, yeah? I'm glad you said that.

Ayano dyes her cheeks and shows her uplift as if she were a flicker. To that appearance, Hota's heart also sounds, slapping him lightly to mislead the sole.

"Well, that's cleverly 'transformed' nonetheless. Boulders, raccoons. Do it when you do it."

Sometimes, 'Who's the raccoon!' and angry Ayano. Kota herself, though this indescribable sweetness and sourness came out wanting to do something about it.

"... yeah. I wanted Kota to say 'cute'... but I tried my best."

Kota's eyes dot Ayano, who abandons the catch ball of every conversation and throws the ball in the direction of the day after tomorrow. Look at Kota like that funny.

"... Come on, Hota! Then let's go! Today's date course, from what?

……

"Kota?

"... to? Oh, oh! Today's date course, huh? Well, at first, that's it. Um... theatre! Let's go see the play."

"Theatre?"

"Just now, it seems that the most popular troupe in Lime is doing" The Architect "in Larchia. Ayano, you like love stories a lot, don't you?

"Yeah, I don't hate it. That's what Jian Dingjie is, isn't it? Alex, you wrote a love story about the second half of Emperor's life, right? Me, I wanted to see it once!

"Oh well. That's just great."

"Yeah! Well... what if I ever saw the Jian Emperor?"

"Ugh! That's... well, that's when you get something else."

"... oh, I remember something. You used to go to a movie with you, didn't you?

"A movie? A movie... oh, is that it"

Remember, you missed the screening time? After all, I couldn't see the movie I wanted to see, and I had no choice, so I saw the movie at the end of my time. "

"..." Magic Witch Sister Tommin Theatre, "right? I remember."

"It was embarrassing, Ally."

"I was embarrassed, too. What the hell, a witch?"

"It was surprisingly funny what you regret, wasn't it, alle? Holla, especially that advanced spiritual magic."

"Umatran, right? I don't remember much, but I can't forget. Maybe we can move faster than the mirror! You know, that awful face in the scene where the past was splattered, bouncing sideways like an asshole."

"Yes, yes! So, Hola. The name of the enemy who robs the" Miracle Mineral Lumia that forms the backbone of this country. "

"" Dark Nurse Maid, Sexy Mizphone!

"... p"

"... kuku"

"... haha. Well, don't let that happen this time, okay?

"It's okay. Because I've been looking into it properly...... and that's what delays me if I'm talking to you like this for nothing. Look, let's just go."

Stupid stories thrived a lot, and the tension was lifted. If you can dance like you normally do today, Kota is just a little relieved and about to walk.

"... hey"

Look back at Ayano's voice and find Ayano there dyeing his cheeks bright red and offering his right hand.

"... hands, hand in hand. of the... corner, so, 'date', dashi"

Apparently, Ayano has a different taste today.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... have you seen it?

"Yes. And with these eyes"

"Yeah, me too"

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Let's hold hands "? Was Ayano like that? Ayano and I know each other.

"I agree! It's not Mr. Ayano I know! That's something in Mr. Ayano's skin!

"Sure. But... I was impressed with the boulder, Master Ayano. It's something we can't talk about."

"That's right... I knew you couldn't do it without Ayano..."

"... hey, you guys? Um, what? Can I do this, as a person?"

From where Kota and Ayano are, the shadow of a tree plant that separates a single boulevard.

Keeping an eye on the three beautiful women, beautiful girls and young ladies who talk to Boso about poking their foreheads together, handsome girlfriends - Theon sighs in a grand sigh to show. It was the beautiful girl, Erica, who reacted sensitively to the word.

"What! I don't want Theon to tell me! An unfortunate habit!

"Za...... Huh!... Cohon, uh Miss Erica? You've come a long way to resemble Coata. [M] No, you can't do that. You can't do that."

"That's right! Can you tell me about people, even Mr. Zion! An unfortunate habit!

"... even Princess Sonia? We need to ask Cota this once."

"That's right. No matter who else tells me, I don't just want Master Zion to tell me. Even objectively, I'd like to ask this one which mouth says. To the unfortunate habit."

"I'm gonna cry! It's time for me to raise my voice and cry with one!

A beauty full of stubbornness, Theon, who eats Emili's words and louds her voice. Before such a Scion, Emili took one raised index finger in front of her own mouth. It's commonly referred to as a "shi" pose.

"Quiet, Master Zion. You'll find out."

"... no follow up either. They're terrible, you guys."

He wakes up a collapsed body, taps the hem of his bread and clothes, and Zion sends his gaze to the three of them again, sighing more heavily than earlier.

"I don't even know how you three feel. But... I don't know how you behave like you're interrupting people's love paths. Well...... yes, damn it! I'm sorry I gave up a hundred steps. If you give up a hundred steps, you're not doing the right thing as a person."

The three look away gently at Scion, a rare and righteous argument. Still, Erica opened her mouth to Zion, who did not distract from her gaze, as if to represent the three of them.

"That... nothing, let's interrupt Ayano's love path! That's not what I thought. Well, you know what I mean? We've been separated before, and in the case of Ayano, it's a farther place called 'The Other World', and we didn't even know it was life or death, so I guess you want to be beside Coata more than we are - and you know that..."

"... Hmm"

"So, nothing. I don't care if Ayano singles out Cota for a day today... it's not good, but, well, I just feel like I know... well, that's why I don't even like being in the room 'Sprouts', you know... I can't be clever"

Slowly, little by little, to organize his own head, but surely to Erica, who spins the words, Theon shook his shoulders as if he were frightened.

"I mean... is that you? Nothing, I don't mean to interrupt the two of you, but that's why I don't like to do anything. Monitor as a compromise… or is that what you call teething turtle behavior?

"Uh... uh, yeah"

"You're a bunch of people."

I care, but I can't disturb you if I have my feelings in mind. But I care. The action taken by the three daughters remains a 'tail', as a disobedient emotion. Although it is by no means a praiseworthy act.

"Somehow, there's something I don't know. Let's miss it, this time."

Understandable. Anyway, if you're not going to stand in the way of Ayano and Coata, this time I'm going to take a big look and Zion rises from the shadow of a hidden plant.

"Hey, Shion! We'll find out!

"Don't worry... I have a point to make, but don't worry anyway."

And he said, "Don't worry."

"I'm not here anymore, both of you."

"- That's why... and, uh, yeah!

In a panic for Zion's words, Erica also rises up from the shade of the plants and looks around the left and right. There is no such thing as a demon king and a raccoon who slept in that sight. That is.

"I screwed up! I lost him, Emily, Sonia! We need to find him!

Erica's words leave the two of them in a hurry to get up and look around and realize they've lost sight of each other. Hand control of the three men trying to run out as they were, 'Well, wait,' Theon takes a piece of paper out of the valley of his breasts in great relief. Without even paying attention to Erica's gaze pointing harmlessly at the place "from the valley of her breasts," Zion opened her mouth.

"I told you not to worry. After this...... oh, I plan to watch a play at the Royal Theatre of Larchia. Let's go."

"Yes, I thought I'd go... Huh? And, Theon? What about that paper?

"Is this it? This is Cota's itinerary for today. Some of them are bold, but they're pretty cautious, he is. I've been working on a plan."

"Oh, yeah. That sounds kind of like a coata...... and it's not! Why does Theon have such a thing?

"I'm a born and raised Larchian, aren't I? I have pride in knowing both the date spot and the store in the hole. By contrast, Courta is refreshed with Larchia. You'll hear it from Coata's personality, normal? You're the type of person who can't move without a step."

"Ugh! That's... Sonia, anyway, even me and Emily know Larchia! Coata, you didn't listen to me!

"... No, you think?" I'm going on a date with Ayano, Mr. Erica? Don't you know where he is? 'And do you really think that Coata will listen, Miss Erica? "

Coata is not an asshole child. And unfortunately, I'm not even that blunt, and I read the air.

……

……

"... I don't think"

"Good for you, Miss Erica. You're normal."

Regrettably, resentfully - and Erica stares at Zion's itinerary just saying she can't help but care. Noticing that gaze, Theon shows the itinerary in his hand, shaking it to the right and to the left.

Hey, here.

Hey, here.

Hey, hey! Chi - Here!

"... looks like you're looking at a dog or cat"

Scion gives a little admiration to Erica, who also follows Feint. This is the first son of the former king and duke. Perhaps his mother, Lieselotte, is also weeping in the shade of the grass leaves.

"Can I ask you one question?

"What is it, Miss Emily?

"I understand that Mr. Cota consulted with Mr. Scion about today's plan. I understand, but why is that plan in the hands of Master Zion?

"What do you mean?

"Even if you've been consulted, why don't we sit down and tell you exactly where the store is located? A little more, even if I stepped in, until I got around in what order. Why does Shion own the itinerary - a 'copy' of the itinerary?

Naturally, naturally. Let me see one nod to Emily's question.

"I was going to follow you, too."

……

……

……

"" "... Wow" "

"Hey, what, those eyes!

The three of them pointed a dong-pulling gaze at me, and Scion flies a bubble from the edge of his mouth like he panicked.

"Chi, no! Unlike you, I'm purely interested!

"It's worse that way!

"No, you're not! None of that! Well... I don't know what to say! I'm trying to bless the two of you in the mood of a pro-bird watching over a bird, and, you know..."

"What's the real deal?

"- I was going to make fun of you two by burning them in the eye."

……

……

……

"Yes, and none now! I'm not..."

"" I'm so sorry, Theon. ""

Pressed with a 'shame' branding by the three of them with a good smile to the point of dissonance and clarity, Theon dropped his shoulders gawking.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"... that was hilarious!

"Oh well. Good for you."

The book of the night comes down completely, and as the glowing moon over his head slowly falls its gentle bright light, he watches Ayano with a slightly gentle grin who stretches out um, and Kota uta utters that word. Haota responded by twisting her neck to Ayano, who had a slightly surprising look at the words.

"Huh? Why do you look so subtle?

"Nanaka, I don't think you're impressed enough."

"... do you?

"That's right. Oh, my God, 'that's good'. Look, there's a little bit more, right?

"Oh, no... that, that's good, yeah. It was rumored that music and performances were first class, but it was just as rumored. The level of the cast was also high. Yeah, and speaking of which, the kid as Freya, he looks like a rookie, huh? Looking forward to the future of newcomers in that act."

"You're a critic! That's not what I'm asking! What do you mean? Enjoy the entertainment! What, the music was good, the performances were good! Here's the thing, enjoy the story purely, don't you think? Story! In general, how great is the amateur in theater talking about it!

"... even if they say it's a story"

Haota has never watched a play by the Jian Emperor or read it in a book. No, but I've read the Alex Letter, which is closer to the original than that. If you tell me, I know the story of the great muscle, and more importantly.

"... you're talking about a high school student who suffered from a slight middle and second illness, are you?"

"What are you talking about?

"Talk Over Here"

I can't enjoy it purely. If one high school student named Alex himself - "Makoto Takatsu" - sees the trajectory of Alex, who was too beautified, I'm sure he'd have his face bright red and his feet bummed, extra.

"Anyway, it was interesting. Plus, 'theatre', including performances and music, right? Fine, even that way of evaluating it."

"Yes, but... I wanted to talk some more"

"Oh...... so what do we talk about?

"That's not the atmosphere anymore - Because of someone!

Hota strokes his pompom and his head with a bitter smile on Ayano, who makes his cheeks swell and look. I loosened my cheeks to the appearance that I could take the risk from Ayano's cheek, which had a soothing look on my face.

"Yes!"

"Ah, Ayano? Oh, hey, yeah, yeah?

Ayano pulls her flaccid cheeks into her arms. I twisted my own body in a hurry to pull it apart.

"- Quiet."

"... Ayano?

Twist it, and breathe in Ayano's serious gaze.

"... Hey, Hota? Did you tell anyone about today?

"To? About today? Uh..."

"Oh, that's good enough. You talked."

"... hey, Ayano? What's the matter with you?

"Tail"

"... what?

"So I'm being tailed. I was just a little caught off guard... but I really didn't know I was going to do it"

Tension runs on Kota's body to Ayano, who shakes his neck to the left and right as if he were frightened. Regardless of his self-assessment, from the edge, Hota is the 'Demon King'. Besides, we're in the middle of taking on the biggest commercial league in Orkena and moving secretly right now.

"... do you care?

"You bet."

"Okay? It's just insignificant, right? Look back so you can twist your neck."

"Oh, oh."

Remembering the feeling of being terribly thirsty, Kota nevertheless slowly, but surely, flew her gaze backwards.

"............... Yes?

At the end of your gaze. Purple smoke was seen rising from the edge of a barrel piled high in front of the tavern. If you just clear your ears a little, you'll say, 'Yes, Theon! No smoking!' What a voice to hear.

"... a tail."

"Erica, Emily, Sonia, Theon, I guess? Well, I had some anticipation."

Ayano, who sighs like a coward and shows off, is absolutely stubborn.

"... is that okay?

"What?

"Well, you were peeking at me, weren't you?

"You're not going anywhere. I'm angry, too. But maybe... well, if Erica stood in my place right now, I would do the same thing. So I can't be very angry......?

"Am I crazy? It's embarrassing."

"It's okay, 'cause we're crazy. You're fine."

That said, I gently bring my lips closer to the position where I breathe in Kota's ear. Just a little bit on that trick. Kota is dodgy.

- I'm gonna run.

"What?"

The voice called so close that the exhalation took place was flattering to Kota's imagination, and there were no shards of colour.

"Quick!"

"Oh, hey! Ayano!"

Ayano runs without a heel that would be difficult to run with while being drawn. To be dragged by it, Kouta turned his leg into a rush.

"Ahhh! Ayano got away!

Listening to Erica's voice like that on her back, the two appearances disappeared into the city at night.
