The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode 126: The Beginning of a Happy Day

It is said that if things change, the product changes, but one of the things that doesn't change the essence even if the product changes is the so-called "classic date course". Examples include Skytree, Roppongi Hills in Tokyo, Umeda's Red Ferris Wheel, Minami's Dotonbori in Osaka, Higashiyama Zoo in Nagoya, and Shimado if you want to enjoy adult dating.

"... Isn't that weird?

After sending a gaze at the front of her body so that she could see her own outfit, followed by a back check, Emili sat back on the fence of the Royal Theatre of Larchia in a restless manner.

"... it's okay, right?

"Why don't you go on a date," Emili panicked, invited by Hota. Well, after falling so surprised that it was "it", so naturally to be surprised, Emili turned her head and mouth to convey her willingness to consent, and returned Kota, who told her with a smiling smile, "Well... after lunch, but in front of the Royal Theatre," and Emili turned her room upside down for a fashion show by herself. I don't think there are any usual maid clothes on corner dates, boulders, I pulled out the black night dress that brought down the example demon king who came in Parsena and said, 'You don't have this in boulders,' or I pulled out the dress I wore for a late night party and said, 'I just arrived the other day!' Say... well, I've been busy.

"... it's okay, right?

Again with the exact same dialogue as earlier, look around your own body, again. In a cream-colored blouse, a velvet vest on a black body, similarly looking around at the black long skirt's own appearance - small, sighing.

"... it's all black, me"

Even though the hard, cream-colored blouse provides brightness, overall… this… is somehow the undeniable coordination of 'mourning'. He opened his eyes and said, "Well, it's black that suits Emily! 'And I encouraged myself to choose this garment. Honestly, I'm not sure.

"- Thank you, Emily."

And a voice that hangs from behind such an emily. Emili smiled backwards after shaking her neck left and right with all her might to deny her inner delusions.

"Yes! Oh, yes, no! Oh, no! I'm not waiting at all!

Kota opens her eyes as if she was just a little surprised by Emili's "messy". Emili hastily inherited her smile, knowing her own demerit in such Hota's tricks.

"Yes, I'm fine! I just got here too!

"Really? That's good - oh, that's not good. Excuse me for waiting for a woman. Can you forgive me?

Kota, who says so with a little tea glare and lowers her head to show, and Emily, who shakes her head up and down hard just to say that she can't even headbank the neck she shook left and right earlier. Emily, you have nothing to forgive or not to forgive! Something like that, in a nutshell.

"Kota invites you! I'll wait as long as I can! I'll wait till morning!

Here's the thing. Hiku for a moment on the wearing creepy Emili, still Kota offered her hand toward Emili without breaking her soft smile.

"It's superimposed. So, shall we go?

"? Kota? The... what about these hands?

"It's a date in the corner. I thought I'd see it with my hands and stuff if I could... can't you?

Emili thinks to Kota, who says that just a little bit lonely. Is this man going to kill me? and.

"There's no way you can't! Well, then... well, excuse me..."

Nanny, but tight. Emili's cheeks loosened unknowingly by the warmth coming from the hand of the gripped Hota.

"Good. I wondered what I would do if they refused."

"Heh heh. I won't sit down for saying no. I'm glad to hear that."

Somehow, I get nervous. Emili curled her mouth a little faster so as to delude herself into such a mind.

"Oh, so! Which way are you headed today? Um... so, you mean a date... or are you going to the theater?

Hilariously behind himself, he flies his gaze to the Royal Theatre, a landmark in King's capital Larchia. Watching a play at the theater, tea at a café along East or Alex Streets, chilling Rote Chamber of Commerce accessories and talking about love along the Larchia River is a classic date course for Larchians. By the way, happy or unhappy, Emily has enjoyed this "classic date course" - only about Erica. Whether we talked about it or not, it's silliness.

"I do find it hard to throw away the theatre too...... Emili will live in Larchia from a very young age, and isn't it interesting to go around looking at Larchia's 'Classic Dating Course' now?

"Huh? Well, that's... well..."

Emili herself, I understand that Kota's remarks are more subtly off target than the course she has' with men 'experienced. but I guess he has some idea that Kota is going out of his way to hear' this'. That's what I thought, Emily nodded small and showed it.

"...... but if you are with Courta, even a classic date course...... I'm sure it's fun"

Still, just a little bit of heart on board. This one was just a little surprised by Emily's words like that, and Kota smiled slightly to show them.

"Thank you. But I've been thinking about the corner too... Can't you ask for the classic" next time "?

"J, next time!? Next time! Is there a next time!?

"The stay in Larchia is going to be a little longer too... of course, if it's convenient for Emili"

"I'll come with, I'll come with! I'm free tomorrow for everything!

"Tomorrow on the boulder...... and well that's anyway. Don't you dare, enjoy 'today' instead of tomorrow"

That said, the gripped hand pulls just a little. Emily took a step forward so that she could follow Kota like that.

"? Dear Coata?

Kota inadvertently stopped the leg. After glancing at her as if peering around, she slowly put her own mouth closer to Emili's ear.

"I forgot to tell you,"

- You look great in your outfit today.

"? -!? Kota!?

Where the words of Hota, smiling like a prankster, ran through his brain and understood exactly what they meant - Emili realizes.

- Oh, this guy is killing me.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

……

……

……

"... uh... the... what?

"... what is it, Theon?

"... What is it, Mr. Scion?"

"... bu fly, Scion"

"The last! Something's wrong with the last! Is that right? What, has this never happened before?

To Scion like that, just a little shuddered, she gave Scion a look like Erica the beautiful girl, Sonia the beautiful toddler girl, Ayano the raccoon, chewed the sand. Unexpectedly, Theon snorts at the look on the face that a woman of her age shouldn't have.

"... hey"

"No... because?" Come on, let's go, Emili-san. "" Yes, let's go. "What is it, Alle? What love comedy?

"... Me and Ayano see the world differently?

That's what I said, Scion, who shook his neck to the left and right to show 'oh man' in a slightly tired breeze.

"... did you guys get a 'consultation' from Coata? And I thought you vowed to do your best to consult that Coata. And... well, sometimes it's for Miss Emily, and this time, take a good look at her."

To Scion, who speaks a rare and commonsense word, Erica, Sonia and Ayano unwittingly said: Ugh! 'and get stuck in the words.

"Oh, that's..."

"Oh, yes..."

"So, but!

"... well, I don't know what it feels like. It sure did have a good vibe. I don't know what it's like to be in a hurry."

"Oh, I'm not in a hurry! Yes, Emily's not in a normal state right now, and I'm glad Coata's trying so hard to do something about Emily like that, but, uh, I'm glad! So, but!

"Okay, okay. Totally... you're with me on Ayano's date, Miss Erica."

Erica is stuck in words again to Theon, who says so like she made a fool of herself. Such a glance at Erica, Theon turned his gaze to Ayano.

"Ayano is also Ayano. As I said earlier, I don't know what it feels like. No, but still Ayano? You would be on a date with Coata in this Larchia once, wouldn't you? Don't you have the temper to give it up this time? I'm not going to tell you to give up on romance, but it's something you want me to show you some room for, the same age."

"Beh, it's not like I'm unhappy either! I just... yes! I'm just worried that Kota might do something weird!

"Don't worry. Courta's date course after this is inspired by 'healthy'. Oh, don't worry. Except for proper 'booze'. Coata, you must be a bad alcoholic, huh?

"... May I?

"What's up, Princess Sonia?

"Um... why is Mr. Scion grasping today's Courta-sama date course?

"Grasp the date course? That kind of thing, you know?

To Sonia's doubts like that, Theon has a grand chest.

"- I've decided on today's date course!

"... what?

"'Emili grew up in Larchia, and now going around the same place... don't you know any holes?' Cause Coata asked me. I took a look at a couple of dating spots Miss Erica and Miss Emily made after they went to Terra."

Say that and make it look like nothing, Scion. Erica screamed after so many clichés at Scion.

"Hey, why are you asking Theon! Sometimes you can't ask me!? I know a few holes, too! I was born in Larchia, me!

"What? Miss Erica tells Courta," Don't you know a good place to date Emily? 'You wanted me to ask? I can't believe my own imagination wants to suggest a place to meet other women... it's an abusive hobby. "

"Chi, no! Here's the thing... Even I want to be counted on by the coater! Fine, sometimes!

"... that's an unfortunate dialogue in many ways, it is. But I did when I was in Ayano, but I'm the one who trusts Coata the most."

"... well, just like Theon said, right? Kota, because you're stupid but you're not an asshole. I wouldn't bother asking Erica anything like that. Me and Sonia aren't that familiar with Larchia in the first place, and it's just that it was Scion who was just fine without any stakes involved, I'm sure."

"... Simply put?

"Convenient Onna."

"- Yeah, those two, shall we shut up for a second? Well, I don't think I'm trusted most by Cotta either. But you know what? I don't think you're going to be punished for saying it to the end. After that, I think the convenient Onna is terrible, on the boulder!

Ayano glances over her shoulder as if she were frightened by Scion, who drops her shoulder only slightly.

"Come on in the first place... it was Theon who brought us here today?

"... what's that?

"Why do we need to go out of our way to get everyone here? You brought us here on purpose to show us that 'sweet' scene? As soon as I get back to you, I'll fly."

"It doesn't mean anything. Miss Emily needs to keep this to herself. If we all get out of the royal castle in a friendly manner, we'll tell Miss Emily... well, if you look at Miss Emily's attitude, it's unlikely you'll notice, but you've never been too careful, have you?

"What's the point of getting together once, is there? Aren't we good for a local rally?

"Me and Miss Erica know the destination, but Ayano and Princess Sonia are unfamiliar with Larchia, even so. I got lost and couldn't make it, then I'm in trouble"

"... What made you this place on purpose?

"Because 'The Royal Theatre of Larchia' stands alongside the Royal Castle of Larchia and is the landmark of the King's capital, Larchia. I'm not going to meet you in front of the Imperial Castle, and even if I'm somewhat lost here, I can answer eight out of ten if I ask anyone who goes on the road."

"The other two are the bosses?

"It's Ayano and Princess Sonia. It's the Royal Theatre that even tourists can reach with guidebooks."

A breath of admiration leaked out of Ayano's mouth without even thinking of Zion explaining the water on the stand.

"... that's awesome. I'm thinking about it."

"Naturally. What do you think, about me?"

"Until just now, gag personnel. Now... you're thinking about Emily."

……

"... what?

"No... it's called a cota and a good ayano, because I thought there was nothing to praise even if it derogated me. Just a little unexpected... what? How much do you want?

"Excuse me. In the first place, if I had seen your usual behavior, I would have appreciated it. If it always feels like right now, I would change Kota's response a little bit, right? I'm going to be an adult to the point where I can admit that good stuff is good."

"... well, let's think about it. But I'm still me. I can't change this way of life now."

"... that? Little lit up?

"-! And there's no lighting! Oh, no more! Holle, let's go!

Scion, who blushes her cheeks slightly and moves forward forcefully to change the subject. Ayano looked at Sion like that funny and walked next to him.

"... so? What's the real deal?"

"Did you see those two 'sweet' scenes, and you saw the three of them like they chewed up bitters -"

Scion is easily hooked up to Ayano's question, which is too crude to call a guided interrogation, and hastily puts his hands in his mouth. Later, turn your fearful gaze to the three of you.

"" "... I knew Scion was Scion" "

"Don't get hammered! I mean Princess Sonia!? I've been wearing it before!

Theon's scream echoed.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Hota and Emili descend south all the way down St. King's Street with the four of them playing a failed contest in front of the Royal Theatre. To the kids on the road: 'Ah! Those two are holding hands!' What a chill, embarrassment - still, Emili's steps, which were delighted but still drawn to Kota, stopped at the same time as Kota's legs stopped.

"... Dear Coata?

"Here we are."

"We're here, even if they say..."

It's only a little old in front of me, a big two-story private house there. Confused, a sign hung at the doorway entered Emili's sight, waving her gaze left and right.

"... 'Playing House'...?

"This place... well, the Hundred News is not as good as it seems, is it? Shall we come in and see?"

That said, Hota pulls Emily's hand and pushes the door of the two-story private house with the opposite hand connected to Emily. Dim indoors, such as those that are inversely proportional to the brightness outside, do not understand what is in Emily's unfamiliar sight, and unexpectedly hold Kouta's hand by remembering just a little 'fear'.

"... what do you say? Eyes, have you gotten used to it?

A lot of time, that's how Kota gently speaks to Emili, who keeps holding Kota's hand. Feeling secure in his voice, Emily slowly glanced left and right as she looked around.

"-!"

Again, hold Kota's hand tightly. In a different way than earlier, with a bitter smile on Emily's trick like she was obviously frightened, Kota stroked Emily's head twice with a pomp.

"You don't have to be so frightened, Emily."

"Oh, even if you didn't have to be scared... you know..."

At the end of his gaze toward him, he said, 'Hit!' 'Cole!' People screaming. Also, at another table, the roulette turns, and at the table next to it, 'Full House!' What a voice I hear. Roughly twenty or so people indoors sat at a table of thoughts and won, if they dragged this scenery out of Emili's memory that they lost.

"Is this... a casino, is it?

Yes, the answer to getting there is' casino '.

"Do I look that way?

"I see it! Or nothing but a casino! And besides... in this Larchia, the knee of His Majesty..."

The laws of the Kingdom of Flame prohibit gambling outside Laura. Although it may be enjoyable within the company, casinos such as "sales" for unspecified people are not permitted in Larchia.

"'Back Casino'...... is it?

When that happens, there's one answer that comes up. Asking Emili anxiously, Hota laughed and shook her hands left and right to show them.

"Unfortunately, this isn't the back casino."

"So, but!

"Well, it would look like a 'casino' at first glance, but this is..."

Which answer is correct. I raised my gaze just to worry a little, and then I glanced back at Emily like I was in just a little trouble.

"- I can't think of a clever analogy... is that close to what we call a 'game center' in our world?

"'Huh? Huh?

"This is a shop called 'Playing House' that has been popular in Larchia lately. It's close to the casino, but we don't exchange money. Strongly speaking, do you enjoy the atmosphere?

"... yep...?

Somehow, Emily twists her neck to show if she doesn't come with a pin.

"... is that... something, is it funny? Aren't gambling money exchanges gorgeous?

"... I also don't think Emili wanted to hear the word 'money exchange' from her mouth... well, you can also get a prize for the difference between the first chip you buy and the last chip you leave the store, so there are benefits to not just enjoying the atmosphere"

"Is it a prize…"

"... Yeah... Doesn't that sound very interesting?

Kota sounds sorry for Emily's trick of looking indoors like a frigid smell. Either he returned it to me with the words, or Emily shook her head left or right in a panic.

"Shh, I'm sorry! You invited me around the corner, but I kind of said something to make me feel better!

"No... well, as Emili said, the flavor of gambling would be an exchange of 'money', and in that sense this' playing house 'might be less interesting. Sorry, I don't have enough research."

"Oh, that's not true! also, sorry to sit!

Emily, to the apparently depressed appearance of Windy Hota, is already in a state of semi-crying. "Huh? You asked me out on a date, didn't you? It would be normal for a man to suit a woman's taste! 'Whether it's an opinion or not, it's Emily's goodness that's inseparable that way. Except for that, I don't have this attitude because you invited me around the corner.

"Kota! I'm really, really sorry..."

"So... shall we make a 'bet'?

"- I... Huh?

"Money, not much to say personally...... right. So, what do you think?

- The winner listens to one thing the loser says? and.

"One good thing to say, huh!

"Yeah. No matter, within common sense, though. What do you say? Don't you think this would be exciting? Well? I'm not saying it's impossible if Emily says' scared '?

At what time, Kota shows provocative behavior. but.

――――――

Emily, I'm not listening. Thoughts temporarily give up thinking, freeze. What thought came to mind when Emily's brain restarted after a moment.

- Anything?

- Is that you? Like this... maybe with the promise of our next date?

- No, no, no. Anyway, like this... but would you like to have another drink? Let me see that Demon King again.

-... yes, you can kiss me directly... without doing such a sneaky thing yet? You're not saying I don't like this, are you, Coata? also, maybe you could say something like 'cute, Emily' and then, when you do, like this, like this...... shah, shah!!

".............................. eh"

It was a flower garden delusion.

"... Miri! Emily!"

"... Huh! Hey, what is it!

"I don't know what it is... no, I was kind of suddenly confused... I was wondering if it was okay,"

Looks a little worried - mainly, of the head - Kota staring.

"Yes, I'm fine! So... this is the" bet "earlier..."

Wave then... gently wipe the saliva flowing through your own mouth.

"- That battle, take it and stand, Master Courta!

Emili confidently showed with that chest up.
