The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode 73: Larchian Holidays/Part II

I'm not used to wearing heels, and my feet hurt because of the "kick" I'm not even that good at. Even though rounding is slightly to the word 'unfamiliar with heels' for a fine adult feminine who is not familiar with Mahjong but works hard to round it up to thirty, Ayano looks at the heel - a pocky break from the roots and exposes it to an unbroken figure.

"... they're gonna piss me off"

"To whom?

A voice on a whining voice with the intention of talking to myself. When I raised my gaze to you, there was a figure of Hota with a cup made of wood.

"Yes, Ayano's share"

"Sankiu. What? Alcohol?

"I bought it at the dewstore there. Maybe juice......? With apple juice"

"Yeah. I exercised like this, something cold beer!

"There's no beer, not in Orkena"

I received the cup handed to me with a bitter smile, saying 'thank you', and a bite. Kota said, "With apple juice," but frowned unintentionally at the slightly 'whirling' liquid, either as if it had a grated apple. I also thought it was me who bought it and complained, and there was Kota with the same subtle look on his face as Ayano.

"Unpleasant?"

"No, it's not unsavory... I don't know, it's not like drinking after a run."

"Bizarre encounter. So do I."

With a bitter smile, still another bite. Some of the sweetness is sour, and it never tastes bad, but Kota is right, it doesn't seem like something to drink after exercise.

"Can I leave you?

"Mmm...... yeah. No, I'm not."

However, he speaks out because he wants you to drink slowly, place a wooden cup on the bench sitting on his back and leave his body loose on his back. A long breath leaked from Ayano's mouth unknowingly.

"Are you tired?

"There. But, well, I was expecting something. I thought you and I were going on a date, and I said," Don't change your blood and pop up. "

In Ayano's words, Kota makes a tannic surface to show. When he saw the appearance, Ayano smiled unexpectedly, and Kota's tannic surface deepened deeper and deeper into the appearance.

"... don't laugh"

"Sorry, sorry. I thought it was Kota."

"What do you mean?

"Well, I'm not that familiar with it either. The protagonists of these comics and cartoons are 'dull'? When I said," I'm gonna change my blood phase and pop up, "I said," Why? 'I'll give it back,' but you're not - I thought. "

"... sort of. I mean, well... you know, what? Like this, favor? He thinks he's got some kind of target thing. He even tails him and says," Huh? I didn't realize that. 'Who says that?

"Hmm. Thought you were getting me some favorable stuff, but I'm still going on a date with another woman. What?" Fate "is good for my perception?

Ayano releases her words, thinking that this question is ill-intentioned. Unable to grasp the released words cleverly, Kota responded by returning Ayano's twilight face as if he were a fielder who had missed the fry.

"You look pathetic. What?"

"Uh... Um, what? I'm not bragging about it."

"In my experience, 'I'm not proud of you,' but I'm proud of you with a ten percent chance?

"Don't tear it up. Well, that... me too. Well, I'm letting you hang out with a socky woman."

"Oh, you're proud. Leah, you're a charmer."

"Rear charging - well, fine. Anyway, here's how I've been dating... what's this pattern like for the first time?"

"This pattern?

"He said he could point 'romantic emotional' things at multiple people at the same time."

For a moment, Ayano seriously worries about what this man is saying. It is a good emotion because Ayano entered the same branch as the synchronization and continued to "like and like appeal" no matter how much Kota could do. Well, Ayano himself, I said "clearly" after being summoned to another world, and even though it is a mistake, Ayano has nothing to do with it because I have made it "Sode" once.

"I'm not convinced of a lot of things... well, fine. So?"

"So here's the thing...... I don't really understand who's destiny, who's keeping, that sort of thing"

"Uh... well, if you say so. You know, her transition is amazing, Ked, dating both of us at the same time. You can't be clever."

"And it's all 'confessed'. I've never been there before, so I don't know what to do."

"Yes, I'm in for a subtle pride ~. That's good, you. I've never been confessed.

"... hey, is that what you're seriously saying?

"What is it?

"Me, it was quite a generation of confessions. I mean, it's my first confession."

That's what Hota tells me, and Zhu runs slightly on Ayano's face.

"Yikes, that's not what you're saying right now, Sole!

"Instead, what time do you want me to tell you, not now?

"And anyway! So?"

"So... that's what I'm saying. I don't know, me neither. Nana hasn't grown."

That's what I said, one sigh.

"When you were in elementary school? Didn't you look like a college student or some kind of awesome adult?

"You've been mad at my cousin for saying 'Auntie'."

"When you were a college student, you were wondering 'I could do anything'. But in fact, being a college student can't do anything about it. I have time, but I don't have that much money, and I was just failing. So, when I was in college, I thought I could do anything more when I became a member of society. I've got plenty of work, privacy, I can go hang out with my friends on the holidays and lead them up as a first come if the younger kids rely on me... more, I'm smartly in love, I thought I'd be such an adult... nothing, you're 'awwwwwwwwwwww' favored by younger kids than yourself, me"

Wow, let me see you smile that you're not dressed up.

"... well, if I could do that, I'd appreciate it if you could put me on hold"

"You mean you still can't choose? Everybody's wrong. Everybody okay?

"You've heard of it somewhere."

That's what I said, Kota, who shows her pitiful face. To its appearance, Ayano exhales long breaths once more loose and looks up at the sky. Unfortunately, the moon that shines over my head is not as beautiful as I saw it that day. However, I think that the missing figure is what presents Ayano's heart today, and that makes me laugh a little bit.

"... what is it?

"You just thought about it, didn't you? I wonder if it would have been a month earlier if I had met Kota. If it had been two months earlier, how would it have been? As soon as I was summoned, if I had met you again... I wonder if I would have received a different answer."

……

"To you before you can do important things...... oh, no. If I had just become your" important thing, "I wonder if there would have been another development. I thought you said" I "was good, not everyone."

"It's..."

"I'm not very good at reason, but if you have a machine to summon, I want you to build a time machine."

Then I'd like to punch myself in the face of "That Day," laughing.

"... Well, actually, you wanted to talk about this."

Keep it up, carry on the word.

"This kind of story?

"Normally, there was a desire to go on a date... well, there was something I couldn't talk about in front of Erica or Emily."

"... I don't know what that means?

"I just told you I was pissed off, didn't I?

That's what I said, I put it on the bench. Lift up the heel that I see and show you.

"Is this it? I borrowed it from Aria. Oh, Aria, I mean..."

"You're Mr. Theon's sister, aren't you? He's fixing Aleia's legacy."

"- Theon's sister...... what, huh?

"'Huh?' What is it, eh? I know, me too. I've met him... well, he hasn't said hello since he got here, and once I've thanked him for meeting me - what's that face?"

"No... that's awesome, Kota. I remember you so well."

"That's amazing... well, you remember that, don't you?

"Theon, you completely forgot, didn't you?

"... what?

"When I met Aria, I said, 'Who are you, you!'. 'It's too harsh to forget the face of your real sister, sister! Aria's so angry."

"Are you kidding me?

"Yeah, I think so... here's how you look so blind and say, 'You're kidding, Aria'..."

"He said something like," I'm your precious sister, "right?

"... well, it's Scion"

Ayano misses his gaze as well as Ayano. No, this topic tries to reorient a slightly forced conversation with

"So? Did you borrow those shoes from Mr. Aria?

"Yeah, yeah. Yes! I borrowed my clothes from Aria as well as my shoes."

"Oh, and clothes. - Wait a minute."

From top to bottom, Hota looks over Ayano's body as he did earlier. Ayano is never big, but still not surprisingly small, if you ask me, it's a 'normal' size, that is.

"... are you wearing that, Aria?

From Kota's imaginary "Aria Statue"... honestly, it doesn't look right.

"Maybe if Aria wore it, she'd be like, 'The kid who borrowed your mother's clothes'. The... Aria, 'I'm sure at some point in the growing dawn! I'm sure this garment makes a fine' lady 'to look good on! This is an upfront investment for the day!' What..."

"... how pitiful"

"That's so rude... I thought, 'Oh, it's Theon's sister.'"

"Which one is rude?

"To both, I guess? Well, that's anyway. I talked to you for a second when you lent me this clothes, Aria. Well... I guess I can tell."

You're talking about "summons," he said.

"... oh. Didn't you think so?" Is this man really Mr. Theon's sister? '"

"I was so sorry. 'I'll do anything!' But am I not like Hota?

"No?"

"I knew it was Theon's sister."

That's how much you know, isn't it? and Ayano, who shows the prankster's grin, Kota shows her shoulders flaunted.

"... I'm sorry, I have quite a few pokas, I'm an unscrupulous person, but I don't think I'm an irresponsible person, either,"

"Yeah, I'm pretty concerned about seeing it... I guess, huh? Just as much as I can."

"I don't think I can say much about it until I hear it from him."

Laughing as I said, Ayano continues his words.

"So, Aria says..." Aleia's Legacy, "they're going to fix it. Just a little more... maybe six months will fix it."

"... well"

"It takes a few experiments, so it's a big year. In a year, you and I will be able to 'go home'. In the original world, in that world we were in."

Talking that far, Ayano looks into Kota's eyes. Reminds me of Obsidian, beautiful, with its innocent eyes, still.

"Hey...... what do we do?

◇◆◇◆◇◆

I'm going to catch my breath, silence. Remembering the feeling that the time of the world had stopped, he still stopped connecting the consciousness that seemed to fall apart, and Hota laughed and opened her mouth with a mockery.

"... even if I go home now,"

"What?

"What... another year from now, right? Even the bank would be fired."

"Fine, nothing." The bank "isn't the only job, is it?

"No, but... it's not that easy to find your next job."

"I don't really like this way of saying it... but I'm an East college graduate for once. Your father's a diplomat, and your mother's out of her old house."

"... is that it?

"I'll find you a 'job' on Conne. Maybe I'll find you a better paying job than I did in the banking days?

……

"You're as serious as an idiot, and I'm sure I'll be smart enough to go to any workplace. By the way, you're not dead, so there's a family registry. You have to keep it a secret to say," I was going to another world, "but let's keep our mouths shut around it."

"So, but... Look, it's gonna be a hell of a rumor when we get home now, right? It's hard to live..."

"I don't like Japan! If that's what you mean, why not in another country? I don't speak English at all, and you don't, do you? Right... around the south island, isn't that nice? I don't like cold."

The feeling of being buried in the outer moat. 'Reasons why you can't go home' is gone, 'Reasons why you don't want to go home' is gradually reduced to go.

"'The Other World' would be better. You don't have to think about all this common sense, and whatever it is, it's the world we were born into. There's your father, your mother and your sister over there, right? There's no reason to be obsessed with this world, is there?

That's how only 'Reason to Return' goes stacked with Don. To gasp for breathlessness, Kota breathes heavily, still flaunting her breathlessness that doesn't fit.

"... there's been a year, isn't there?

Ayano responded by shaking his head vertically, contrary to what Hao Tai had intended, thinking that the answer would return, and asking Hao Tai in anticipation of that answer.

"Yeah, that's right. There's been a year."

"Then the answer is, even in a year's time..."

"I think in a year, you'll have more Don't Want to Go Home."

"-"

"And I don't know which is happier for you. I don't know, so I recommend thinking now. If you're going home in a year, get involved more than you need to with Erica, Emily, and Sonia... so I wonder if you're going to want to leave. You're the one with the hard feelings."

Sigh, one.

"... really, I have 'even' for a year. You can turn back now, can't you? If you had a year, you'd be able to forget. Can't we just go home and do what we had to do?

……

"Well... so that's an earlier question, including that"

Hey, Kota? and.

"Your 'destiny' is - who do you want to be next door, 'who'?

Kota laughs in her chest mocking how silly she was thinking about "World Time Stopped". One more big sigh of sigh at that feeling, which is not a big deal at all.

"... tough, you are"

"I'm going to stay on your side, but I'm not going to keep spoiling you. Well... I think this is pretty spoiled."

"Really?

"A year from now, I don't want to see you up. So I'll build an 'escape route' within the moment and put it up."

"... I don't know what to say... it sounds like Ayano"

"Really? Shall I also say that it's not about 'Ayano-sama'?

"Are there patterns like that, too?

Show Hota the surprise, yeah, with a smile.

"I don't want you to give me an 'answer' right now"

……

"I'm sure you're going back to this world now. Because I'm willing to make a lot of excuses, a lot of reasons, and conclude that I'm going to stay 'over here'... so I don't want you to come to a conclusion right now, do I?

"Isn't that contradictory, that? Tell him to think now, and don't give him an answer now."

"It's not Ayano, is it?

"Absolutely."

"I haven't grown up in a good year, either, maybe."

"... well"

He nods naggingly at Kota with a very gentle grin, and then stretches out his spine to show it. Ayano smiled so beautifully that she slapped her outstretched hands with bread in front of her hand that Kota couldn't beat her.

"... well, I don't think I'm that bad myself like this. Because love isn't digital, and people's emotions can't be spoken only by logicals"

"You're right."

That said, Hota only gives you a little gaze up.

"What, that face?

The look on Kota's face. Whether it's worrying or giving an answer... Ayano threw his words in that expression of Hota, who gave up and seemed to be close, but was still just a little sorry to bracket in such a backward language, with the suspicion floating around his chest.

"Is that a weird face?

"Because you look indescribable."

"In fact, I can't tell you anything."

Oh, and there Ayano realizes. It's like watching a bad student with a bitter smile, just saying, "I can't help it anymore," Kota is now.

"... I knew we'd still have 'em all year. I'll scratch you then."

"Really?"

"Ayano knows what he's talking about. If we're going to be apart, it's better if we don't get along... awesome, I get it."

"Love moves."

"How do you say like you picked up a throwaway cat like that... well, anyway. I'm sure that's not the wrong idea."

I just don't like it very much.

"Specifically"

"I can't say very cleverly...... right. In the end, I don't feel like I've lived very hard right now."

"... hmm"

"'Anyway, we're gonna break up in a year, so we're not gonna get along,' and I know that's not a mistake to delude and delude and live like that... see"

That's a lot of tea to say.

"... because Kota Matsudai is an 'hard worker'"

Once he's failed, he laughs at Kota, and the mouth angle between nature and Ayano rises.

"I thought you might say that."

"That simple?

"It's like Kota."

That's what I said, keep smiling - turn that smile into just a little prankster's grin.

"... so? Who is your destiny?

"Ugh! Geho...... Ah, Ayano!

"I'm going home, and I'm not going home. It's a good time, but I want to know who" Fate "is."

"So... well, as I said earlier,"

"Huh? Seriously, are you gonna tell me that we're all different and that we're all good? That no one can choose? Wow, no, that idea. How dare you keep a girl?

"Grr! Well... I don't care to deny they say that..."

Hota looks away as he gets stuck in words by Ayano, who turns a dazed eye. Ayano accidentally broke the edge of his mouth, staring at Kota with such warm eyes.

"... what is it?

"Just kidding."

"Are you kidding me?

"Mm-hmm. Well, if Hota can't choose, it's still good."

"Good... good? What do you say yourself, but seriously, I'm saying pretty shitty things, me"

"Erica's a sideroom daughter, isn't she? I wish there was a terroir surrounding 'concubine' as soil, nothing?

"That's not good... you know, ethically?

"I, the daughter of a diplomat"

"Is that it?

"There are so many polygamous countries in the world. When you go into town, you follow the town, but if you do, you won't get angry."

……

"Personally, I'm quite 'unconvinced', of course. It's up to us to fold it around. Because if you're convinced you have to go, you just have to go away."

"Really?

"Because I have a proven track record and experience of enduring your 'femininity' ills, to me. Unfortunately, he said, 'Just look at me! Look at that!' I'm not a maiden, a child, or a person who can push an ego to the point of crying. Oh, you don't know any other kids, do you? Just because I am."

That said, I stand up sipping up the apple juice that goes into the wooden cup in one breath.

"Jian Di, you saw it?

"Oh."

"That makes Freya happy... but I'm sure you think Aleia and Yumeria are such unfortunate stories. I think how much Alex, who really loves, loves, loves and misses, won't be rewarded for continuing to fuck Freya all the time."

……

"It doesn't have to be the best, so it's still not funny to think Alex wanted you to, right?

"Sort of."

"I'm not the type to be Freya. But I'm not even a girl who understands things like Aleia or Yumeria. So, if you want 'it', I might as well be stingy."

That's what I said, grinning at Kota.

"Right? I'm 'sweet' to you, right?

"... at all"

"I won't make you a 'convenient woman', but if that's how you think, I'll give you an affirmation. On top of that, I'd be so happy if you put me first. Well, is this what it looks like?

"I'll remember, hi"

"Great. In general, you don't have time to worry about every romantic relationship, trying to confront a big organizing opponent, whether it's a federation of merchants or an alliance of merchants. You're not good at this, are you? Think of two things at once."

"You're right."

That's what you and I laugh at each other for. Laughing at each other, in such a grin, Hota's mouth shapes as' thank you '.

I didn't get a well-touched word - thank you for telling me about a problem I had to choose at some point. Ayano's grin deepened with such a movement of Kota's mouth on the edge of his eyes.

Let's go home, then.

"Mmm... right. It's pretty late."

Come on, I thought I'd go. I'd get up just like Ayano myself, and Kota, who walked out, stops that step a couple of steps away. I looked back surprised Ayano, who wouldn't follow me till hours, and said, 'Mmm! I just said' tilted my neck to Ayano, who stretches his arms forward to show them.

"What are you doing?

"Your heel's broken, isn't it? You want me to go home barefoot?

"... oh, you did. Sorry. Uh... if it's my shoe."

"Mmm!"

"... Ayano?

"Mmm! Mmm!

"I'm sorry, please use words that make sense."

"So! I can't walk..."

Duck, and.

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

Kota, your eyes are dotted.

"Oh, you're a princess..."

Ayano asks about Kota's complexion from my height difference or just a little upward. His cheeks stained bright red, and Ayano, still pointing at the moist eyes that contained expectations, accidentally sounded Hota's throat.

"... oh, Emily? Ayano, I hear you're having trouble with your broken heel.

"That's tough, Master Erica"

From behind, I listened to the voice of the night fork.

……

"Finally found -"

"No, Master Erica. I'll sit in Coincidence."

"- And yes. Coincidentally, I just thought I saw Ayano and Coata again...... I wonder what it is, here? Ayano's pressing Cota for a hug, hey? What kind of dream is this?

"I'm sure it's a nightmare."

"Isn't that right? So, Emily?

"Yes, of course, I have brought a replacement heel"

"Sasa, Emily!

"It's a bad word."

The cold sweat won't stop. Kota looked back slowly with a slow motion that seemed like a giggly sound.

"... why do you have leaves on your head, Mr. Erica?

Beautiful golden hair with green leaves. If the original fabrication of the face is good Erica, even if I say 'fashion like this'... I can't do it a little bit, but still manage to make excuses. I can, though.

"And... there's mud on the head of the nose, and, uh... the clothes, too"

I can't even say that if I look at my worn out outfit as if I've come out of this battle area. Seriously, it looks even more so because Emily, who is sitting next to her, is dressed in made-up clothes as usual.

"And you have no choice! I didn't know where he was, so look over there... not! Uh... and anyway, ayano! What are you doing!

"What... I'm having a hug? What? Look, don't you get it?

"So... let's... That's not what I'm saying! What... so I'm asking you if you're having a cock!

"That's why he said his heel broke. We don't have a choice, do we? Force majeure, force majeure."

"Heh! That sounds like Emily is bringing a replacement heel by chance, so that solves it! Yes, then let's go home!

".............................. chi"

"" Chi "? You're tongue-in-cheek now!

"I didn't have to. Oh, that's good enough. So, Emily, lend me your heels... yeah, thanks. So, Coata, shall we go home?

"That's right - said Ayano! How dare you join hands with Coata to go home!

Wow, that's awesome. Shoulder to shoulder and sigh at the noisy Erica, looking up at Kota with an up-and-coming look.

"Not such a May fly... after all, you want to do it to me?

Ayano responded to Ayano's words with a little anticipation, just like Ayano's, by clamping his shoulders.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Well, Princess Sonia... hey, kiku, take a break..."

"No more! Why are you so weak! You can't see Erica or Emily anymore!

"And let's have a way......! Wow, I'm in a research position...... like this, this kind of exercise...... gef! Oh...... it kind of tastes like blood on my cough"

"Hey! Yeah, yeah! Eh, blood, is it okay?

"Oh... Princess Sonia is sweet no matter what I say... ugh... oh... I don't know... the scenery...... su... be..."

"Oh, oh! Eyes! Please don't close your eyes! Somebody! Somebody..."

"... supi... supi..."

――……

"... yeah... I can't eat anymore"

"... uh-uh."

"Fugu! Yes, there he is...... that, Princess Sonia! What do you mean, drop a man's head on a cobblestone? What are you gonna do when your head turns pathetic!

"What kind of craftsmanship are you to sleep in an instant! And you're already pathetic enough!

"Phew... I haven't had a blind spot lately when I even said those words were 'comfortable'!

"I don't like it anymore. - Uh-huh! Courta-sama!

Until it is safely 'recovered' by Emili, there will be improvisational contests in the Wang capital of Larchia.
