The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

"... and, well, the government in my country is operating like this."

"... I see. As a government, is Lime close? You think there's a position like a consul, and that the person makes policy decisions?

"Uh... well..."

"No?

"No, it's not...... it's a democracy, so it's somewhat similar though. The country where Ayano and I lived was divided into municipalities called 'provinces' and 'municipalities'. Each head, the chief, chooses directly, in elections. Consul, is it something like that?

"Hmm. So... right. How do you choose the president? Aren't you going to choose among those consuls?

"No, that's another human being doing it again. Indirectly, the top deciding the end of the country is the election."

"Indirectly?

"It feels like deciding who runs the state within each municipality and choosing the top of the country for their mutual election."

After stating the difference between direct and indirect elections, I wondered if it wasn't explained enough. Even as Kota opened his mouth, Shion controlled Kota's movement with his hands.

"I see. I mean... the Duke of Terra is directly elected, and representatives chosen from Terra, Larchia, Laura, Titanium, etc. elect the Chancellor."

"Right. You can't go wrong with that idea."

"Then who will have power over the head of Terra or the representative of Terra's chosen government? I suppose they're both the same 'profession' in terms of politicians?

"I can't say anything because it's not a thing that can be compared together, and it must be a town by people. The chief of Larchia and, in the first year of Terra's election, the chief of Larchia are better… bad words, but 'character' would be above"

"I see. Still... that's a tough political system, huh?

"I won't deny it. Because it takes time to make decisions, and even good opinions can be foolish if they are scarred. It's just... the best thing about democracy is that no matter what kind of foolish top takes office, if you think you've chosen it yourself, you'll give it up. I wondered if it would be better than a monarch pushed from above. Oh, I'm not saying anything bad about your majesty, am I?

"I know about that. But... Hmm. Is that what you think?"

That being said, it seems intriguing that Theon draws a cup of tea at hand to snort and sip. When I placed the cup gracefully, I slowly looked around - I looked completely at the people's replaced store and looked surprised, and then I bowed my head to Kota as if I was done.

"... you've totally spoken in. Sorry, Coata."

Kouta smiles small and bitterly at Shion's words and attitude.

"No... keep your head up, Mr. Scion. It was me who became obsessed with the story. You just talked to me."

"No, that's because I insisted. It's not your fault."

"No, I will"

"No, I will"

……

……

""... pu ""

Hota and Shion stare at each other and erupt at the same time.

"... ok. So we were wrong about each other."

"... right. That would be best."

With that said, Kota leans a cup of tea to imitate Shion as well. Theon continued his words as he glared at the appearance.

"And yet... no, I know you're rude, but I didn't think this was going to be such a 'fruitful' outing"

"Yeah. I agree with you on that. No way... What is' fun 'from now on?"

Again, the two of us stare at each other and smile bitterly from either side to show.

"It's been a long time since I've spoken to you to lose track of time."

"Me, too. It was only in the morning when I walked into the coffee shop... oh, you should be hungry for reason"

"Right. I've told you a long story. Coata's story was very interesting... for me."

"No... because I was smart enough to hear Mr. Theon."

Shake your right hand slightly so that it is only slightly illuminated by Zion, who rarely says such a special victory, and Kota speaks like that with no hanging heart.

It is often said that it is not the 'way of talking' but the 'way of listening' that matters in terms of communication skills. There are a number of clever ways to listen, but the common denominator is' how comfortable you feel to talk to them ', and Theon Baumgarden was a woman with a very high level of' ability '. Heaven, 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 heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and heaven, and all thee, It may seem like it, but I want you to think about it and look at it. A woman named Theon Baumgarden said she was' in love with the world 'and was Teng himself who summoned Ho Tai only to satisfy her own desire for knowledge. That intellectual appetite is very high, and Kota's talk about "Knowledge of the Other World", which could be taken to such a Scion and not found in any book, even deserves a thousand gold. Well, you'll hear.

"Smart way to ask? I've been told my mouth is a master, but I've never heard of it before."

"A good speaker is a good listener, I would say. I think you're a good listener, Mr. Scion."

Listen seriously to what you talk about, hammer at times, convince at times, pinch doubts to an undisturbed extent at times, and it is some kind of unpleasant pure question like taking a fried leg, and when you get a satisfactory answer, show an innocent grin and thank you. Approximately, the attitude of brotherhood, unimaginable from the usual Scion, is preferably reflected for Kouta - well, even Kouta is human. When I blame it, it makes me feel better when people, everyone, have an attitude of listening to and respecting the savings they know.

"I wish it were always that, Mr. Scion"

"We can't see what you mean by 'it'. I'm always going to be the same..."

And it's vegan. Additionally, if the other person comes with a beautiful woman who looks good, there's no reason for the story to be boring. Think commonsense.

"Well, maybe it's not a conversation to make during a date, talk about political forms, etc. You're as knowledgeable as ever, aren't you, Theon?"

"Because you're never very capable, I am. Coata, I'm with you. If there's something you don't understand, you're gonna make an effort, right?

I have plenty of tea, and I can only give Kota back with a bitter smile to Theon, who says so and shows it. In fact, Kota and Shion are very similar.

First, in that you are basically a person of effort. Genius ideas, etc. are not shared with each other and are excellent in terms of paper testing on the desk. With the same speed of head rotation, I wonder if it's easy to speculate that conversations are easy to establish smoothly. When I first joined the bank, I said, 'Don't you remember that kind of job, if you don't have to look at the handling instructions, if you work?' This is not the case with Ayano, who told Hota, and even Sonia is typologetically Ayano.

Erica and Emili are somewhat close to Kota. The journey of thinking about things and the process of understanding them is close to Kota and fits if we say it fits the story… Still, there is no denying that these two are still 'Kota relying', one way or another.

"... a little hungry, huh? What about lunch?

"Right...... what would Mr. Scion like to eat?

"Whatever you want. It's noon and... isn't a snack good enough? A sandwich? Do you want to eat here?

"... bad way to put it, but it's cheap, Mr. Scion. Why don't you specify a few more formats for a date?

"Oh, I'm tired."

Plus, these two have similar living standards. Haota is a rooted civilian, and she is only the daughter of a university professor, of things that have brilliant relatives who have made her a Scion. It's a common standard of living for each other, but it's not like we had a luxurious life. It would be a well-known fact that the most likely cause of divorce would be cheating, but it would come to say 'mismatch in living standards' to what comes at the top. If a very normal home environment, a common person, is placed in an environment where a full course is offered every day, it can be stressful to destroy the body. It's a bad way of saying it, but 'you don't have to worry about it' can be a pretty important element in romantic matters.

"It would be nice to eat here... but still, it's a corner, so why don't we go somewhere different? Mr. Theon, are you there?

"Right...... oh! Shall we go over there then? There are lots of them and the prices are cheap but the flavors are good there!

"Is it a hole shop?

"It's the right store of origin that will be handed down to the University of Larchia and the Academy of Sciences with cotton. Poor students and poor researchers."

"College students anyway...... are they paying cheap, academia?

"Research costs money. You'll get it there, but there's a lot of expense. I don't have time off, so I don't have time to use it and I can accumulate it."

"... are you putting it in that room? Well, I think that's pretty dangerous, huh?

"Don't worry. I'm not stupid, either. You're keeping it with your parents, aren't you?

"It's not about chest tightness, is it?

Sighing at Zion laughing at her heels, Kota takes the book on her desk and stands up.

"Are you sure you want to read it first?

Hota shows "Magic Girl Pretty Liz - Starting Edition" bought at the bookstore after the theater and as declared on its feet. Sometimes "Pretty Liz the Magic Girl - The Fetal Edition" is being released, and even Larkia's best bookstore has only one "Startup Edition" that hit the previous book, and purchased the Startup Edition in the form of a joint purchase. Theon nodded to Eagle Deep to show Kota reluctantly asking.

"Terra, I had a business trip, and I'm accumulating work. I don't know what time it will be when I read it first. I don't mind Coata reading it first."

"But..."

"Fine. But it's strictly forbidden to rattle, right?

……

"What?

"Aria told me, Mr. Scion, that he rounded up to the killer in the reasoning novel and said, 'This is the killer!' I hear you wrote that, right? That's what people say, that?

"The idea is the other way around. I wouldn't be, so I'm stabbing a nail."

Sigh again at Scion, who laughs funny and says that.

"Okay. Then, in the direction of refraining from rattling."

"Do that. and...... will you wait a little longer to get up, Coata"

Begging Kota to sit down again when he stood from his seat, Shion takes his seat to replace him, making sure that the surprised Kota arrives at his seat.

"... yep...?

"Fix your makeup," he said. Or should I just say it straight? I took too much moisture, so I simply... "

"Just go!

Shion took his seat and headed to the bathroom with a nibbling grin on Kota, who looked disgusted.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... tired ~"

"Really. I'll rub your shoulder against Kota when I get back"

"Don't ask me that. But... I'm really tired."

Erica, Ayano, and Sonia gradually divulge that sentiment and slam 'whack' onto the table avoiding the paperwork. He stared at such an attitude, which was not roughly a lady's attitude, and took the tray on the sandwich he had placed on the side table with a bitter smile in his hand.

"Good job, gentlemen. What do you say we get some time, and when it's time for lunch? It's an easy thing, but we rented the kitchen to make it, if you don't mind."

"Oh, like! Where's" Emily's Handmade Sandwich "?

"It's not as big a thing as being handmade."

"I'm so humbled. Emili's sandwich is really delicious!

Ayano rushes under Totatota and Emili when he gets up from the table where he was stuck. Deepening the bitter colour of the smile on its appearance, Emili offers a tray in her hand.

"Go ahead, Master Ayano"

"Thanks! Bye -! Hehe, hehe, hee, hee, hee!

"... now that you know it's delicious, eat it properly and then talk, Ayano. I'll take it, Emily."

"Go ahead, Master Erica. And Sonia."

"Thank you, Emily"

Erica, take the sandwiches in Sonia's order and transport them to your mouth. Lettuce, ham and mayonnaise with mustard and even a simple sandwich of it, but Sonia narrowed her eyes to the aromatic flavour that spread in her mouth, as Ayano put it.

"... that's really delicious, this"

"Thank you, Master Sonia. But I'm somewhat embarrassed to get compliments on such a simple thing."

"- Ngu! No! Emily, this is really delicious!

"Thank you"

"It's Royal Castle's kitchen, and ham and lettuce are naturally first-class, right? Mustard... would be, well, different... and mayonnaise then? There's something hidden in the mayonnaise, Kanji? Somehow, it tastes like lemon?

"It's not a concealed flavor...... well, this mayonnaise is a thing made from scratch, but we add lemon instead of vinegar, so it must taste like lemon"

"Whole egg? Egg yolks?"

"Only egg yolks. All eggs are really watery. However, it would be nicer to mix the egg whites... I also used mustard this time."

"Oh well. That it'll turn yellow anyway?

"That's what I'll sit for. I didn't even get a chance to make it in Terra."

"That - oh, I see. Fresh eggs, can't you get them inside in Terra"

"Because the Royal Castle of Larchia gets freshly laid eggs at any time. There's nothing I can't make with sunset eggs, but I really..."

"You're gonna get a little bit of that, smell"

"Yes."

Emili and Ayano speaking in mind and pleasure. Staring at her without seeing her like that, Erica called out to Sonia next door.

"... I knew, how to make mayonnaise?

"... there's no way to know. I thought mayonnaise was something that came out when I said," Please give me mayonnaise. "

"... it's an odd encounter, so am I."

Boulder, royal combo. Ayano shook her head small with a jitty eye on those two.

"Stop it, won't you, Erica and Sonia? I mean, I'm saying something like Scion, both of you."

"Nah! And don't be with Theon! Even I can cook a little! 'Cause the other day, Holla! You said that chicken dish was delicious!

"Wow, me too! Salad! You can make salad!

"... I don't know if you guys are there. Kota, you're after him, aren't you? Every time, you're just gonna serve chicken dishes and salads? Oh, by the way, I'm all over Wayang, whatever."

"Wow, I don't really know what it means to be all over Japan, but I know I'm proud of you!

"Yes, it's fine! If you can't cook, you can hire someone to cook!

"Where's Antoinette, Sonia? Well, you two would be able to do that... hey, Emily? I figured you'd better cook, right?

Emily frowned on Ayano's inquiry like she was in just a little trouble. He's a beloved master and a princess from a neighboring country as adorable as his sister. I still open my mouth clearly, worried about what answers are correct.

"... I'm not going to say otherwise that being able to cook is the finest attraction as a woman. But you're still happy to call your own things delicious, aren't you?

"" Ugh, ugly ""

"And... everything is so, but it's decided that it's better to do it than not to. Isn't that what Lady Courta tells you?

For being lost, there is so much honesty that there is no sound. Stabbed him in the chest, or Erica and Sonia, both of them together and drop their shoulders.

""... Yes ""

"... Wow. Emily, you're totally screwed, aren't you? I can't say that much about a boulder."

"... Huh? Yes, no! I don't mean to do that! Oh, I'll just sit by your general theory!

Emily follows as she panicked at the two people carrying the heavy air called 'No-n'. She smiled slightly at the three of them, and Ayano took a sandwich from the top of the tray and carried it to her mouth looking delicious.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... Hmm"

In front of the mirror provided in front of the toilet. Surprised to see a 'gentle' look on his face more than ever, Theon smiles with a small bitterness.

"... well, I can't help it"

There's only one reason. Because today's date, it's a 'fun' thing for Theon.

"... what's 'good listener', that idiot. You're a better talker than that."

Hota's story tells us, on top of being funny, to sort out the gist and chew it up. It also answers questions about remembering doubts without one disgusting face. Theon is not itchy about "lowering his head," but he doesn't want to "bow his head," even though he holds a key position as a principal researcher at the Academy. "I don't know" what no one knows is a courageous thing, and in that sense, Shion's - if you say it, Hota's way of speaking showed favorably that he would respond sincerely without making a fool of himself or making a fool of himself.

……

Keep your eyes on the mirror and try to fall back from that mirror, which only shows up from your chest, to the distance your whole body shows up. I'm a confident Scion in style, but now that scion in the mirror looks wild in white.

……

I don't have any boulders. Whatever you say, this is a 'date', and in that sense, I dressed it, but to some extent, it's common sense to come dressed in small, beautiful clothes. Even Coata, dressed like this, who walks with him, is embarrassed to decide, 'I knew you couldn't, Mr. Scion. I'm sorry to hear that.'

"... Huh! Hey, it's kind of hot today!

Imagine that much and take off your white coat, no matter who is asking you, as if you were making excuses. So, I mirrored my whole body again, and I nodded.

"... your forehead, are you disturbed?

- Take a distance from the mirror you were away from and show your own forehead properly. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. You finally convinced me, I nodded one more time, and Theon was in the mirror--

"... to..."

In front of the mirror, he was smiling. Be polite, with phonetics.

"... hey, aren't you pretty good?

As he nodded satisfied with his smile, which would be delightful in its own right, Theon pushed open the toilet door and returned to the coffee shop. My chest rattled only slightly at Kota spreading the book I bought today with interest in the window seat.

"... you kept me waiting, Courta"

"... that was a long time. What's taking you so long?

Kota looks up from the book she was looking at and looks dissatisfied.

"- Ah."

To that appearance.

"... that? Mr. Theon?"

My heart froze like a lie when my chest rang high earlier.

"-Ah... well... Shh, I'm sorry! Hey, hey... well... sorry."

"............ to? Oh, oh, no! I'm sorry about this! I didn't mean for you to apologize like that! Huh? Duh, what's wrong, Mr. Scion?

"Oh, you're not mad...?

"I'm not mad at you! Uh... something, I'm sorry. That didn't feel right."

That said, Shion's frozen heart restored a little warmth to Kota, who lowered his head.

"- Is that it? Mr. Theon, did you take off your white coat? What? I wish I'd stayed in that outfit from the start. You look great, Mr. Scion."

- Carve a heartbeat so fast that the words are about to burst.

"Oh, isn't it? This Theon Baumgarden, he's the one who can do it!

"A kid who can do it is generally a kid who doesn't do it. Anyway... should we go? Isn't that what Mr. Theon recommended? We're looking forward to it, aren't we?

To Kota, who says so and laughs, Sion smiles as well.

"... what, those hands?

In front of Scion like that, Kota offered his right hand. Xion, who gave a surprised look at his behavior, gave him a decent look and twisted his neck.

"What... are you sure?"

"... Are you sure? What the hell...!

Scion, notice. I notice.

- Oh, this, isn't it? I thought we were going to hold hands.

"Oh, yes, no! Oh, that, what! That's me! It's okay!

"What's okay... yes?

"Ugh, yeah! There's nothing wrong with that! 'Cause it's okay!

Shion turns bright red on his face and shakes his hands.

"No, but... it's also a bit of a walk Mr. Scion with his white coat..."

"Yeah, there's really nothing wrong with that! Keep your white coat..."

Take a breath.

"- White?"

... Is that it? Something, no. That's what I thought, and at the end of the gaze I pointed at, Kota kept his neck twisted.

"So I thought I'd take my white coat - whoops! Why are you throwing it!

"May fly! Just take it and walk! You keep the account!

Throwing his white coat at Kota as much as he wanted, Theon left the store behind with his shoulders angry.
