The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode 154: Lost Creeps

"No, Anne! You really are beautiful ~!"

"Huh? That's not true. I haven't even..."

"No, no, what does Anne say? This way, I feel like a healthy beauty!

"Is that it? Is it derogatory? So you're talking about horses?

"No, no! Compliments! And... what is it? Have you seen him somewhere? I don't feel like we've met for the first time!

"What is it, huh? Are you kidding me?

"No, no, no! Well, my uncle's a little younger. But he's got a bachelor even if he's old, right? Yeah, you missed the point, didn't you? How far did I tell you?

"Uh... until I met Lotte!

"Oh, my God! Well, that's how I met Lotte! Well, this guy looks like such a 'Immortal' now, doesn't he? That was so awesome back then, Anne!

"Uh! Really? Something unexpected...... Lotte used to be pretty 'yan', right?

"That's right! There's something like" Lotte Baumgarden SS "in Wang Fu, right? Because he had a reputation for being stronger than the Kingsguard Knights!

"Were you that hot, Lotte?

"You were confessed everywhere, Lotte. Now it's not as good as it used to be... but I've been confessed the other day."

".................. heh"

"Oh, that? Anne, are you a little scared? Like, well, he's more unscrupulous at work than that kind of female entanglement, huh? You make enemies all the time, Koz. Oh, is that even now? Hore, is he the deputy director of the King's Palace? My boss has a Wang Fu chief... well, this chief is a bad guy, right? So..."

"... hey"

Always on the back street of the street, always on the set, always on the time, and always on the menu. It's still today, and I think it's a good lunch time for Lotte.

"... why are you here"

"... Lotte, my name isn't 'you', it's 'you', okay? Don't be so angry. Hore, isn't this Larchia under the sky? No matter where I go or what I do, no matter how many times I tell you you're the deputy director of the King's Palace, you won't be forgiven. Instead, whoever forgives you, I won't forgive you!

That's what I said, banging my desk in front of Lotte, who even mixes kill in her gaze, in front of Lotte's eyes - while the man who stood in the seat next to Anne pointed himself with his right thumb.

"- This," Mr. Carr the Player "!

"What's Mr. Carr the Player! You fucking doorknob!

... Well, it's Carl. After work in the morning, as usual, I went to the diner - well, there was an old friend and thinker sitting next to me in front of Lotte, who went out with a heartfelt wolf, making a scene. Plus with my own past stories. Even with blue muscles floating around Lotte's forehead, well, there's no choice.

By the way, Lotte's clothes pocket contains the valletta she bought to give Ann. Conscious of his own thoughts, Lotte left Carl in his room, heading to the Roto Chamber of Commerce early enough to catch Antonio serving a customer on the floor, for a word.

"I don't put threads on gold. Any woman must make a baretta that says it's nice by tomorrow '

I can't until tomorrow! I forgive Antonio for saying, making money, inciting...... and threatening, I even felt frustrated with my nose lottery because I had just received a delicate, elegant barretta made of silver craftsmanship earlier.

... Well, what I'm doing is a bad story that seems like a lot of money... I hope you're too serious about Lotte.

"Hey, what's up - Lotte, what's a doorbell? Kanji, this is bad."

"Yes - yes -! Kanji Bad ~"

Besides, these two, they're kind of close. Lotte contained a glass of water in her mouth with a sinister face, holding a feeling of no longer envious or aspirational to the two people who were supposed to meet for the first time, but who spoke more intimately than she did. To such a Lotte figure with a wrinkle between her eyebrows, the two open their fearful mouths when they look at each other.

"... Oh, that? Seriously, Lotte, are you mad? Is that it? Me, was I kidding you a little too much?

"... Huh? Yeah, yeah? Oh, really? Um... or did you take the liberty of hearing Lotte's old story?

Two voices lined up as if they were in a panic at Lotte, who stared silently in the eyes of Jito. It was Carl, who kept his eyes on him for a long time, but he sighed small as if he had given up.

"... nothing, I'm not angry."

"... really?

"What do you do with lying"

Good ~ loosen her expression to Anne with a relieved look.

"Right? Nothing, Lotte, I'm angry."

"Except you. Remember."

"- He said he's not here, dude! Why just me!?

Later, send a cold gaze to Carl. By the way, it's not discrimination. This is a fine distinction.

"Naturally! It was in the first place, just now. Don't do anything to discredit people."

"Losing my reputation... but I guess it's true. You've been a mess for a long time, haven't you?

To Lotte's point, Carl returns the objection. Stuck in words often by such a curl - and Lotte showed her shoulders small.

"... what is that attitude?

"I was just worried whether to say it or not. It's just, you know. I can't say enough that everything I've done is commendable, and I'm not going to say it again. I'm here because I'm impotent and I can't do it. Let's admit it."

"Right?"

"Well, that doesn't make it a good argument for you to tell Ann that, does it?

You, remember that later, right? Lotte's gaze just saying. Usually it's like, 'Hey, Lotte! Carl should be in a hurry today, but he's a little spare today. Lotte gave Carl an unexpected look.

"What? 'Cause you don't have a clue, do you? Ann said," Be sure!' Cause I say, 'I, the old Lotte, want to know!' Cause? No, you don't usually ask about people you're not interested in, do you, Anne? Is that it? You're hot, aren't you, Lotte? Hi-ha-ha!

- Lotte honestly thought I'd beat Carl to death for saying that with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Ka, Mr. Carr! Hey, I told you not to tell! Why do you say it!

Symmetrical to such a lotte, Anne dyed bright red to her ears waves her hands and shows them. Cash things like that, where did the anger go earlier, loosen Lotte's expression just a little bit.

"No, no, Anne? But, you have to tell me, this kind of thing! Hey, Lotte?

"... why are you swinging at me"

"No, 'cause that cute kid of yours is saying,' I'm interested in Lotte ', right? Hey, how do you feel? Lotte, what are you doing?

"... I can't believe I want to buzz you"

With bees.

"Ooh, frightening! Well, I should probably get going. You don't want a horse to kick your ass, do you? Hey, Anne?

"Or, Mr. Carr!

"Yes, sir. Well, Anne, I'll make you another cup of tea when I get a chance."

"Oh, hey!

"Hey, hey, Mr. Carr!

Carl waving his hand with a hiccup and taking a seat. It's like mud, sliding through the store in a quick move, Carl pushes himself straight out of the store.

……

……

"... ahaha ~"

Later what was left was Lotte and Ann staring at each other with what an awkward look.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... hey"

"What?

After Carl left, he finished his meal, albeit somewhat subtly awkward, and then the two of them had the usual collusion, but Anne accidentally opened her mouth.

"Where's Lotte? Fine, you said you were impotent.

"... steam it back or what?

Heartache, Anne rushes to show Lotte her unpleasant face.

"Oh, chi, no! Well... I'm not talking about SS Lotte!

"... for once, because it's not approved, is it?

"If it's approved, I'll dont pull it. Not... about work. Mr. Carr, you were saying? He said he'd make enemies for nothing."

"... sort of"

"That's... why?

"... why, why?

"No... because? Lotte is a man of the King's Palace? It's a casual image, but the people in Wang Fu aren't really... like this... they don't work..."

"... sort of. Sometimes nobles serve, and I certainly don't have to work so hard."

Unlike people in the Chamber of Commerce or people who farm or fish. Not everyone works that minded, but the basics are that if you serve at a certain time, you get paid. Desperately - for example, where I have put forward several policy proposals, they do not reflect in large part on my salary. Then there is a certain number of people who think that it is good to just do the work that is decided in time.

"Here's the thing... how do I put it? You need to work so hard... yeah, not..."

That's what I said, yeah, roaring Ann. Staring at the figure, Lotte waits for Ann's words without prompting her.

"... I wonder what you wanted to be."

"... What do you mean?

"Lotte is now the deputy director of the King's Palace, isn't she? The third greatest translation from the top."

"... sort of"

"What do you mean? I was wondering if you wanted to climb that far. So, I climbed that far, and I was wondering if that's what Lotte wanted to do."

"... Hmm"

Often, bother.

"... why are you asking me that?

"Because? Lotte, if you were talking about Mr. Carr, you would've come a long way. That doesn't have to be made... 'Enemy'? You made enemies, didn't you?

"... well, if you lived in peace, you wouldn't have had to make a separate enemy."

"Right? If so... what can I say? I wonder what 'stuff' I've been looking for since I made enemies that far... its, pure interest"

I think of my enemies as meditating on Anne, who says I should be without them.

"... I think I've said this before, but I was originally made to move left. I've thought about quitting the King's Palace at any time along the way. His Royal Highness helped me in that situation."

"... so you're working hard for Your Highness?

……

"... lotte?

"... think again, it's not"

"... is that okay, it?

"No, this way of saying it has a narrative... but you do. Surely I owe His Highness and my brother-in-law. There is also a desire to do something for His Highness. But... I don't know if you've done anything for His Highness."

"So... maybe, birth lust?

"I'm a human child, too. I'm not saying I don't have that emotion. I'm not saying there isn't... if that's the case, I'll do it a little more cleverly"

"Uh... right. Lotte looks smart around here."

"Are you demeaning me?

"Excuse me, I'm complimenting you. But... so why? Why does Lotte work so hard until he makes enemies?

"... nothing."

"No?"

"Nothing, there's no reason. I've got a job there, I've done the job, and I've just been getting rid of opinions that get in the way on it."

"Why?"

"... purely, I guess it was fun"

Lotte was forced to move left and waste her time every day about her idleness. I enjoyed my work asexually, pulled up by Georg and reflected by my own opinions, thoughts, but directly.

"I guess that was just fun. It must have been so, so much fun to see this country getting better as a result of my contemplated policies...... So I did my unobstructed job, and when I realized it, I was climbing into my current position. It's just that."

"... it is"

"Right. I was born in the Flame Kingdom, and I grew up in the Flame Kingdom. There's no reason to be attached, and if possible, this country should be better."

"... yeah. Right. I'd better get better in this country, too."

That's what I said, grinning Ann. Look at that figure, and Lotte carries on the words.

"... What does Anne want?

"I?"

"Oh. If it's Anne, what do you want me to do? What kind of country would you like?

"... what? Are you gonna make it happen?

"There's something I can and can't do. You can't have a free menu at the diner or something?

"I know! I mean, I'm not that uptight!

Anne puts out her tongue badly, then puts her finger on her chin and thinks hmm. So often, as I came up with something, I looked at the colour of Flirting and Lotte with hesitation.

"... what's up?

"Uh... Um... don't you laugh?

"You've decided to laugh."

"Are you laughing!?

"Naturally. If you dare to say 'don't laugh', that would be an interesting story, wouldn't it? Come on, say it. I'm gonna have a big laugh without getting involved."

"Ugh! Why do you say that?

After the frequent jitsu eyes, a small sigh. It just seems a little stinky...... but still, give me a Rin look.

"..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................."

"... what?

"So! Everybody said it was a laughable country!

……

"Oh, I looked frightened! So, but, Lotte? Don't you think it's amazing that there's no one to grieve in, and no one to grieve in?

"No... well, it sure is awesome..."

No one grieves, no one feels hard, the ideal country. That's certainly a great country, and Lotte thinks so. I think...

"... you look like a child"

It's like, miga.

Sweet, sweet-thinking, like coated with sugar and honey, such a country.

"Ah, already! Why are you laughing?

And what Ann said about that was weird and... sweet.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Stick with me, I get a zero smile on Lotte's face.

"Boo! Okay, Lotte? After all, what a gathering of people the country is! There's nothing you can do without people!

"You're right."

"Then it's your job to work for the King's Palace to create a country where people can laugh and live in that country!

"... sort of. Ann, you're right."

It is easy to say, and doing is like a typical difficulty. To Lotte like that, Ann laughs and shows' heap to heel '.

"Daiji-bu! Lotte said I could do it! I believe you! So Lotte, please! Good country, make it!

"... Let's do good"

"No good places!

With that said, Ann gave her pinky finger and gave her a swinging grin.

"- Promise!

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

After lunch as usual, Lotte returned to her own office. I feel uncomfortable in my own pockets and recall after cleaning up my accumulated work, hmm where I stretched my back.

"... oh"

The presence of a beautifully wrapped box in your own pocket. Carl's visit is an example of Barletta who completely missed the opportunity to give it to him.

"... well, good"

Nothing. It doesn't have to be today. There's always an opportunity, and Anne and I have a promise for tomorrow. I acted in a hurry, not even in the pattern, but I thought I should take the time to slow down, and Lotte put a box in the desk in the office.

"... lotte"

Unexpectedly, the door opens without knocking.

"How many times do I have to tell you to knock?

As usual, I looked at the door mouth with a disgruntled face and thought I'd even say one of my complaints - accidentally, shut that mouth.

"... what happened?

Carl's profound expression at what time he makes noise and raises it to the point of noise at all times. Close his complaining mouth and Lotte looks at Carl still.

"... lotte"

"... what's really going on, Carl? How are you doing? Why do you have that painful look on your face? Look, just say one of those idiots like you always do."

I worry that people who are usually healthy don't have energy. I think so, and a serious look in front of Lotte who tried to laugh it off - no, Carl comes close with a sinister look on his face. The wrinkles between Lotte's brows deepened on that expression as if it were the end of the world.

"... Carl?

"... okay, Lotte. Don't let it bother you. Listen well."

"... what?

"... you're not bad at all. Regardless, neither I nor His Highness are going to blame you, nor hunt you down. Rather, it's our fault. I sincerely apologize for stirring you up without thinking about it, without thinking about it. Sorry. Really... Really, I'm sorry!

"Or, Carl?

"What is it?" Have we met somewhere? 'Oh, oh! That's right! Well, you're right! It's been decided that we met! Because I'm the leader of the Kingsguard! Well, we've met before!

"Oh, calm down, Carl! Hey, what's up? What are you so angry about? Don't you dare, sit in a chair."

That said, hand control Lotte pointing to the chair in the reception set, open your mouth.

"- You're thinking, 'Anne' is -"

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Backstreets as usual, fixers as usual, and a little later than usual.

"Ah! Whoa, Lotte! I've been waiting for you!

As always, the girl sitting in the window seat smiles. Raise your hands, and there's a bitter smile on Lotte's face at that trick that embodies' I've been waiting 'all over my body.

……

Don't float. Lotte took that step under a girl waiting for her in a cancerous dining room because lunchtime had passed.

"Already! I was waiting without eating because I heard it was about this time again today! I'm so hungry! Come on, Lotte? Be quick..."

"- Dear Angelica,

"- Oh man... what... eh?

Poke one knee and grace his subordinates as they flow.

"Please forgive me for my numerous disrespects, flat out. Be the first princess of the Kingdom of Larchia, the next Queen of the Kingdom of Flame..."

- Dear Angelica Orenfeld Larchia, and.

"- Ah."

"... Forgive me for all the disrespect I have, even though I don't know it"

Distracted.

Sadly distorted his expression.

"............... well. Have you noticed?"

- And, like I gave up, I smile.

"... Yes"

"... sorry. I didn't mean to fool you."

……

"... at first I just wanted to see what this country looks like. I just wanted to see what kind of country this country was in."

"... Yes"

"... I met you, and I knew you were a high-ranking bureaucrat in the King's Palace, and I really thought you couldn't, and I had to stop you now, but I enjoyed being with you, and I enjoyed it, and I enjoyed it... and I enjoyed it!

"... please stop, Dear Angelica"

".................. fun and..."

"Thank you. I'm happy."

……

……

"... go, right?

"... Yes"

"... Hey, Lotte?

"... Yes"

"Finally... Finally, just one more time, will you call me?

- "Ann," and.

"... it"

……

"... is that... an 'order'?

"............... yeah, please"

"... forgive me... Dear 'Angelica'"

……

……

"... well"

"... Yes"

"... sorry. I'm really going."

That's what I said, and I walk on my back. Drop off Angelica's back.

Why not?

There were no tears.
