The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)
Episode 135: Boss: Theon Baumgarden
"And yet... you surprised me"
"Surprised?
Scion, who was leading a small arcaded path through the courtyard from the Academy to the Royal Castle, to what? I just look back and twist my neck. Kouta continued her words, claiming her shoulders that she had responded to what she intended to say to herself.
"How shall I put it... Mr. Zion's popularity, let's just say..."
Kota is too smart to say what he wants to say. Seeing him like that, Theon smiled bitterly and showed him.
"Oh... well, I'm just stuck."
"Still, it is. What can I say more than the academy is an elite gathering... I thought there was a little bit more to it."
Gisgis, it's too much to say, but at least it's not comfortable with 'that way'. Theon darkened the colour of bitter laughter in such a question of Hota.
"I don't deny it. The Academy is an elite gathering, and they're all people with strong nose columns. Plus the younger boss is a hateful thing... well, in my position, 'hateful' would be in the payroll. In fact, my predecessor, the chief researcher, hated cockroaches."
I'm really going to need some more keziness than it is an organization to belong to. There is no need to dare to deal with it at the waist of a fight, but I still think you can understand that the organization will not be formed as an organization in Nana. While good players are always needed for the development of an organization, the power of a manager to use that player cleverly is also important. It is also my boss's job to say that it is sometimes painful to my ears, even if it was' hated '.
"I made you a teacher on the other hand," he said? For example... did you listen to your subordinates' opinions?
"No way. As I said earlier, it's in my pay to hate my job. I'll say tough things if I have to, and I'll make things right if I make mistakes. If you think my opinion is correct, I don't bend my opinion... well, Coata knows it too"
"Right. Mr. Theon."
"... tell me yourself. What, I don't think you're going to be punished for denying me that 'that's not happening' there. Well... in that sense, there's no big difference between my predecessor and me."
That's what I said, flaunt your shoulders - and then scratch your cheeks to look like they stink.
"It's just... right. The Academy is one of the best 'brains' in the Orkena continent, if you know a hundred things about being jealous to lift your own organization. It is the first place where that gateway is opened after graduating from the University of Larchia, even though it is difficult to enroll, with outstanding grades, and breaking through a few more difficult steps of the entrance exam than the entrance exam of the University of Larchia. Most capabilities make it difficult to even reach the entrance in the first place, such a place. And more or less all the humans who have gotten that far, have high pride. Isn't that right? It is a gathering of human beings who have been honored as prodigies since they were little, stirred up and raised as important as the balls in their hands. I think of myself as a genius, all those people. There's a whole bunch of words that academics researchers hate, you know?
"... no, oligarchy"
"'I don't know' and 'I don't know'. I hate these two words like a snake scorpion, the academy researcher. Seriously, I think of myself as a" genius. "
……
"My predecessor was this type, too. Because I was the type of person who never tried to admit his mistakes, and said that there was nothing he didn't know, nothing he didn't know, nothing he didn't know. Normally it doesn't feel good to think about it... well, they hated it a lot."
"... Is Mr. Scion different?
"I would be a brilliant man, but not a genius. Aren't you familiar with Aria? What makes you think you're a genius?
Kouta accidentally gets stuck in words at Scion like that without any feelings. Let such a Kota smile bitterly, and Theon continued his words.
"You don't have to worry about it. It's a simple fact, and it's the truth. I don't think I'm that good, and there's nothing in the world that I don't know, and I can't think of anything. So I don't think I can do anything on my own, I'll be fine and ask people for help, and I'll even bow my head if I have to."
"Is that... okay? Here's the thing... it's so easy for my boss to bow his head."
"Some researchers don't look so good. It's an old tissue, and 'decent' matters. There is still a tide that does not make it good for the man above to bow his head lightly. Assuming the chief researcher, or the young because of this, or the Lord Lotte's Seven Lights, what a scatter word. As I said earlier, academia that abhors' I don't know 'and' I don't know 'is an organization that also stands out extra because fewer people have drooled their heads and begged for teaching. Hideyoshi is ashamed to bow his head, and geniuses have difficulty bowing his head. Take care of your pride for the rest of your life."
Say that like it's nothing, and Theon lights a cigarette.
"- I want to know more about this world. I just want to know. And an organization called 'Academy' keeps giving me so much knowledge that I can't absorb it, that's the place. I'm happy to be able to work in a place like that, and my excellent staff is constantly fulfilling my... yes, my 'desires'."
……
"The staff feels comfortable working, and doing so cleverly turns the academy as an organization, thereby fulfilling my wishes. If I bow my head, it will fit in circles in all directions, I will bow my head or whatever. There's nothing to lose."
Smoked the purple smoke deliciously, then at the end of the gaze I turned to, I saw Kota with a dumb surface with Pocan.
"... what?
"No... what is it? It's hard to explain... that's amazing, Mr. Scion."
"... are you complimenting me?
"It's a delicate place... which means, after all, you don't choose the means for your goals, do you?
"I feel like there's a thorn in the way I put it one way... well, yeah. Unfortunately, you can't go wrong with that recognition. I keep my head down for me."
"Does that mean that Mr. Theon is admired by everyone even though he does whatever he wants, whatever he wants?
"... wait. That way of saying it is definitely thorny. You're absolutely fooling around, you!
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not fooling around... here's the thing, what is it? The world loves you..."
Even if it's the same behavior, there are people who are allowed to laugh and laugh at the other person. So, Theon is definitely the latter. No matter what kind of impotence, 'I don't have a choice, Mr. Theon,' this is what happens. Klaus of Hotel Larchia. But Maria's brother Velour, Niza.
"I think that's a better ability than going into an academy. Other... yes! I think it's good for sales, right? It's almost invincible in sales to laugh and forgive me for 'I can't help it' no matter how impotent I am!
"I'm not going to make a fool of sales anything else, but the only way to put it would be malice! I'm trying, even if it looks like this!
Scion, just a little tear-eyed. He swells his cheeks dissatisfied and stares up at Kota from the bottom. Kouta glanced at Shion's tricks like that.
"... Mr. Theon, you're my age, aren't you? You're twenty-six now, aren't you? Isn't that kind of attitude a little tight at our age? Forgive me, maybe even a teenager?
Awesome, disgusting.
"I'm sorry, you dodgy bastard! Oh, oh! I thought so, too! I thought the expression on the boulder earlier at this age was a lot tighter, Conchisha!
Theon turned his jittery eyes to Kota after yelling at him for such a statement.
"... you mean? Coata, aren't you a little 'cluttered' about how I treat you? You saw everyone's attitude earlier, didn't you? Here's the thing... there's gonna be some more, right? I don't mean to be disrespectful, do I? Here's the thing... just a little, a little bit more, I don't think you're going to be punished for being nice to me earlier on your pinkie finger? I'm trying my best to look like this, okay?
Kota smiled at Sion's dialogue, a rare and special victory.
"Absolutely, you don't think!
This one is unusual, and I smiled and ran out of words.
"Ghosts, you! Coata, if I take kindness from you, what's left? I'm sure all of you are made of kindness!
"Rude, some effort. If that's the way you put it, it sounds like more kindness than headache pills, I"
Half of it is money back. It is not a commotion. To Theon like that, Kota scratched his cheek as he exhaled.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Scion. It's nothing cold on Mr. Theon. - You're not going to be cold, are you?
"Cold, there was a terrible time after... well, fine. So?"
"It's just, Holla, what do you say? When I'm with Mr. Theon... let's just say it feels close to vegetables... it feels similar to dealing with Ayano."
"... well. Are you with Miss Ayano? That's a lot..."
"We're not together. Approximation, approximation. You'll be rude with me, Ayano."
"- Highly regarded... and, oh, a guy named you... well, fine. So?"
"So... this is not a rough treatment of Mr. Zion... well, it would help if you thought it was a sign of trust"
"... show that trust to Erica or Miss Emili. I'm sure you'll be happy to cry. By the way, I'm not dissatisfied with Erica or Miss Emily?
"No... Holla, I say the lawn next door is blue"
"I know it depends on how you feel, but it is!
"Ha. It's a boring thing ~"
"I've never seen a coata like that before! Oh, my God, 'haha'!
"But it's true you trust Mr. Theon, isn't it? Oh, it's not like I don't trust Emily or Erica..."
That's what I say, I see Chirali and Scion. In that gaze, Zion, with the spear of anger, prompted him with his jaw to continue.
"Here... what is it? Sounds like a great thing to say... but there's also a slight 'guardian' gaze, like Erica or Emily... like Sonia."
"... I don't think it looks great. It's everyone's 'brother', and Coata is. What? You want your brotherhood out of business?
"I'm grateful that you can rely on me, and I'm purely happy, so I don't even think about fine dust. Besides, Erica and Emily are already fine adults, and my head understands that I can do anything myself... but what is it? Like this, I knew it bothered me. I don't know if I'm gonna be okay, or if I can do it right."
"Don't worry about me or Miss Ayano, do you?
"Ayano and Shion are excellent. Oh, this is-"
"I know. Nothing like a derogatory remark about Erica or Miss Emily."
"I hope you understand. Well, if you take it as' trusting 'if you leave it alone or not."
"Left behind. That would be a bad way to say it, a bad way to say it."
That's what I said, one sigh.
"... Well, as an elderly person, I can see that Coata can't help but think so. Personally, I think it's going to be broke after every cup, but that way of life."
"So I'm 'relying' on Mr. Theon. Rely on it, it's sweet. You told me, didn't you, Mr. Scion? Terra's, at the Duke's Mansion."
- You can count on me.
"... you said it, sure"
"Do you regret it? I shouldn't have said that."
"I didn't mean to say that... no, I don't regret it. I summoned you, Teng. I have a duty to make you happy."
"Fine, that's nothing, you don't have to be so concerned. I'll be happy on my own."
"Don't say it. This is my" endurance. "
That's what I said, just a little bit. Scion smiles softly and shows it. Kota also raised her mouth angle slightly so that she could get that smile on her face.
"... well, the women around you are all childish. Understandably, there's a lot of load on you for what you have to hold on to. If I'm going to be the gateway... well, that's acceptable."
In Zion, who said so as if he were merciful, the raised mouth angle of Hota hardened.
"............ what?
Kota, no words.
"................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... You're the most childish thing I've ever seen.
Still, I managed to carry on the words to Kota, and now Shion looks disgusted.
"Don't be silly, Coata. You think I'm the most childish?
"No, Mr. Theon is the only one who can't be foolish, can you? 'Cause it's Mr. Theon, isn't it? Heaven, heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and earth, So much so that you should bow your head to God, you're wasting your talent, aren't you, Mr. Zion? Is that it? We're talking about Mr. Theon Baumgarden, right?
"I'm talking about Mr. Theon Baumgarden! What? I don't care what anyone thinks. You look like I'm the most grown man!
"... eh, eh?"
No words.
"Uh... where exactly?
"Age first! Miss Ayano is... of the same age, but there is no substitute for me being older than Terra's women!
"I know what mental age is, Mr. Scion? In your case, you're just eating old."
"And don't say you're eating old! Well, then... Shh, style! Miss Emili is well...... it would be a good battle, but still! Look at Master Erica. Look! That's already a wall, Wall! Touch it in the dark and look! Because I can't tell if it's in front or behind!
"Don't say anything wrong in front of the person, it! I mean, the point of" adults "is style, and the point is just appearance, right? Is that okay, so?
"I work! You're earning your own food! Master Sonia, what a horror! What a waste of rice!
"In Mr. Sonia's case, we receive quite a bit of the cost of living from the Kingdom of Solvania. I mean, right? Isn't it usually the job of a ten-year-old to sleep well, learn well, and play well? What are you talking about, you?
"But academic! I'm a brilliant girl, even when I look like this!
"I don't deny it... but even Terra's women aren't talented enough, are they? Ayano is really a handful of super elites in my country. Emily can do anything... and Emily, of course, can clean her room."
"Gu, gu!
"With that said, Ayano is also pretty good at chores in general, isn't he? The handicrafts you fed me before were delicious. Mr. Theon said - Oh, you were just futile to ask. Cleaning is beyond saying... I mean, I asked Aria that she doesn't even know where the white coat is, but what about that? As a person."
"Ugh, ugly!
Scion poking his knees disappointingly. 'Me, I'm depressed!' such Zion's shoulder, which openly demonstrates in attitude, 'I did too much!' All I said was, Tong Tong and Ho Tai slapped him like he was just a little panicked.
"Oh, Shh, I'm sorry! The... well... ho, holla! Mr. Zion is naive! It's great to be young without making you feel old! Hey! Hey!
Not uncommon for Kota - but rarely shown with care against Shion. but Zion stared at the whiteless dialogue with his bent face raised and jittery eyes.
"... what?
"I think being naive is pretty silly there, and I'm kind of dissapointed that he smashed my pride as a woman or something like that into pieces, even if it wasn't."
When I say that and stand up, I untie the hair that was tied to the ponytail. The abundant red hair appeared in the white coat.
"... Mr. Scion?
"Whatever you say, I'm a good year, too. Because treating children is a bit of a handicap."
That's what I say, pack a step in time. Fluffy, citrusy aromas drifting from Scion's hair stir through Kota's nostrils.
"Ciao -"
Pull the tie glitchy and pull Kota to hand. As soon as the distance between his face and his face and mine reaches zero, Shion shifted his body to the side and pulled his lips to Kota's ear.
"If I'm really a 'kid' - let me make sure with this body, huh?
It's not in every Scion, it sounds like it's just a little sweet somewhere, and then it sounds like a lingering Rin. Unexpectedly, Kota grabs Shion's shoulder and pulls him away forcefully, feeling like his spine is frizzy. The detached Scion, seemingly just a little dissatisfied, and then he's happily raising his mouth angle. The colour of Kota's eyes is luscious, and the hair of her long hair looks different, making the impression of "sister."
"... Mr. Scion?
"Hmm? What's up?
"... if you can light it, please don't do it from the beginning!
- Give, don't. Scion's face was stained bright red from shame to ear, and in fact, upon Kota's pointing out, Scion turned that way after waving his hands left and right with a frequency of 'Awww'.
"Ya, it's weird! I thought," Oh, this is a little... "Huh! Enough! Anyway, we're going to Klaus!
With a bitter smile on Zion, who ignores Hota and walks away all the time, saying so.
"... well, yeah. You won't have a choice, will you? You know, against the rules."
Without excusing anyone. Saying so, Hota gently sent the wind with both hands so as to take his own cheek fire lights.
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇
"Hmmm...... Huh! Ya got there ~. No, I thought it wasn't that far when I saw it on the map... I knew it was quite there ~"
……
"The streets weren't even built, the carriage wobbles. I guess you'd better make some more improvements."
……
"Vagina? What's the matter, Eric? After you look like that."
As I stretched out my body - there was such a noise as "Boki" or "Baki" that the raucous young maiden shouldn't make much out of it - Lorna, who was rolling up, but shows Eric with a strange face who hasn't spoken a word since she got off the carriage. In response to that gaze, Eric slowly pointed at the carriage he himself had been riding.
"... for a long time, I've been wondering"
"Yeah? What the hell?
Plenty of two seconds for Lorna to look cute tilting her neck.
"You, absolutely, are out of your mind!
Later, I turned up the loud voice just saying that Eric might sound all over Larchia.
"- Eh!! Oh, Eric! Noisy in the middle of the city! I mean, my ears are sore!
"I'll make a scene! Really? From the Kingdom of Larchia, the Kingdom of Flame takes three days on a fast carriage, right? That would take a lot longer if I came by carriage! What do you mean," It's okay, it's okay. You haven't changed that much '! Seven days! It took me seven days!
"No...... but a fast carriage on a boulder is a cancer that costs money? Hey, can I get you two a minute?
"Well, that's not good. I'm giving Lorna a free ride, too, right? But right? There won't be a 'carrier' on the boulder, but the carrier! You're dealing with cargo, us!
"If I took the easiest ticket, I'd be alone." Yasu! 'I thought,' But if it's a carrier, well, is it such a mon? Well, yeah, cancer? I was so worried about the other passengers. "
"I didn't pay attention to the passengers, but I did pay attention to the luggage! That fish I've been on since yesterday, it stinks! You smell so bad in your clothes!
"Uh... Jake. I just felt like cats were after me."
"Well, that's good too! I wasn't expecting a comfortable carriage trip! But!"
That said, Bissi and Eric point to Lorna.
"- You're too abnormal, you!
Exactly. Eric continued his words to Lorna, who didn't come pinned or tilted his neck to show.
"Why? Hey, why? How can you even scratch and sleep snoring in such a bad environment! You slept standing between your luggage and your luggage yesterday! You look so happy!
"Yes, I wouldn't have scratched snoring! You're not lying, Eric!
"I'm not lying! I mean, I can even say my bedtime words! Eight days out of ten! You know what the numbers are? That's the number you slapped me with in your sleep!
"Hey, I didn't say anything to sleep!
"I'm telling you!" I don't think I can eat anymore ~... Ah! Who pulled the plate? Yeah, I told you! 'Or' what's up ~... well, I can't dare to bring it all from this side of the menu to this point, two servings at a time! 'Or just food related stuff! How meaty are you, you!
"Oh, what a grace to turn to the maiden! Eric, don't be a hottie!
"I didn't think you were hot or anything! I mean, he's better off snoring and scratching and eating.
To Eric's words, it just so happens that Lorna whistles and shows them. I don't care, it's quite clever.
"... well, fine. Anyway, let's just find an inn, shall we? You don't know what time it is, do you? Let's feed Yingqi. I haven't slept in a soft bed in a while."
That's what you say, Eric, like you gave up. To the words, Lorna stopped the whistle she was blowing and pointed a strange face at Eric.
"... Inn? Huh? Looking for an inn now?
"... wait. You're not gonna tell me to go wild or anything, are you?
"... see? Oh, I'm not. I don't know what time we'll be in the boulder, but I'm not going to go to the wild house. I'm not... Eric, do you know Larkia?
"Larchia? I don't know the details. I've never been here before."
"Neither do I. We're new to Larchia, and we have no idea where or what's in it."
"Right? Well, look for the inn first."
Keep Eric's words out of sight.
"- Did you just say yourself cancer? He said he didn't know what time it was. Doesn't that mean you don't know what time 'opportunity is coming'?
――……
"What are you going to do when it's suddenly tomorrow? If you didn't know where they were, what path to take, or where they were in the first place, how could you do anything?
"... sort of"
"Then there's something to be done before you look for the inn, right? Yours, yours, Eric's..."
- For revenge.
"... right. You're right, Lorna. We need to figure out what's in this city first."
"That's not what this is about. I don't know about the inn later... well, I told you, you don't mind if I stay in the wild for a night or so?
"It's getting pretty cold lately, so wild boarding is hard, huh?
To Eric like that, Lorna laughed strangely.
"What are you talking about? You've been working out for a long time, haven't you? A day or two of wild boarding, I guess I can stand it at all?
"... sort of"
"I just said boo-boo, but I didn't mean 'it was tough'. How easy is it to walk around this city now?
"... well, that's about it -"
"At full sickness!
"- Can you do that!
"I can, I can! Ha ha! If you want, Eric! Go on."
"Hey, idiot! It's a sudden run - oh, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry to take you with me!
Because of an unexpected dash, the people around you look at Lorna in surprise. After Rhona, who runs like sewing a crowd, apologize, and still Eric runs after Rhona. Like Lorna, like sewing in that crowd.
"So - oh, I'm sorry! Sorry - Lorna! Hold it right there!"
To Eric running cleverly through talking, apologizing, and still not hitting people.
"This - baccarona!
- Princess Jessica's, she was nowhere near as young as I showed her in front of "Sister Jessie".
