The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

"Oh, calm down, Aria! Duh, what's wrong!

Liz smiles gently as she softly rests her hand on Aria's shoulder, who cries, 'My sister, you...' with Hota's chest. Aria used to sneeze "Egg, Egg," but she looked up at Liz with tears all over her eyes, whether she had settled slightly in her hands stroking her head gently.

"Oh... you..."

"Theon did?

"'I forgot something'... alone... in the academy..."

Squeezing, he still manages to give that kind of aria a stunningly stained look that Liz then turns to anxiety - and anger.

"Nah! but to academia!? What are you thinking, Theon!

The Academy is the opposite of Tamama, the destination it aims for, but also near the entrance to the Royal Castle. That means it's the 'battlefield' where the most battles are taking place right now.

"... there is the research results of your sister - a 'living proof'. So... well, it's intolerable to lose it... even as a researcher, I can understand that."

Aria bites her lips with regret. To that appearance, Liz raved her discourse as the blood rose to her head.

"It won't be a life-substituting thing! Aria, why didn't you stop, too!

"I stopped it! That's what I told you to stop trying to escape with me!

You didn't think the objection was coming, or you round your eyes like Liz was surprised. Aria lowered her head in a panic, as she had always noticed.

"Also, I'm sorry to sit down, Your Majesty!

"Ah...... no. That's right. There's no way you won't stop Zion. Apologize, Aria. I also lacked a bit of calm."

Aria bows her head again to Liz, who says so and pulls her jaw small. After a while, there was so much remorse on his face that he finally raised it.

"... our research is not something we can do overnight. Experiment over and over again, take data, write up reports, make trial and error...... that's how you can finally derive results. If you lose it, some things you'll never get back. At fifteen, he studied at the University of Larchia, knocked on the gates of the Academy, climbed down to the chief researcher… and found out that it was a place where he wouldn't sneak up on his sister after a long time and lose it. I understand, though!

Research is something like finally getting results on top of a daily pile of stupidity. It's a job for academics like Theon and Aria, soaked in research, and it's also a "living thing".

"... because"

"... some people in the academy say they don't spare dying if they have research results. I don't know how that feels, but I don't. No... but I..."

Liz softly embraces Aria, who remains in tears. I pointed my gaze at Kota with a troubled look on my face.

"... Matsuyo-sama"

Liz's eyes are like twitching. It was for a moment that I breathed into that gaze, and Kota exhaled loosely with a bitter smile, as she had given up.

"... Your Majesty and Aria both know the way to the ballroom, don't you?

"... Yes"

"... Yep"

"As things stand, it's probably a good idea to be prepared for a chase from behind. You two just turn forward and run between the balls. If Erica and the others were here, we'd run away together. Isn't that nice?

"... May I?

"Which path, abandoning it here and fleeing quickly, is at least not for me right now. Well, I thought I'd yell at you when I find you."

"Matsuyo-sama?

"I don't usually. Well, it's Mr. Theon."

Liz smiles small at Kota, who says so and flaunts her shoulder. That, too, for a moment, carefully bowed his head toward Hota.

"... I'm so sorry to bother you... but please welcome my master and this child's 'sister'. But above all, take your safety seriously."

Like Liz, show Aria her shoulders flapping her head down like she was in a panic.

"- Let it be left to you. I don't know how far you can go."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Mr. Scion!

"Hmm? Oh, Coata. What are you doing? This place is in danger right now, okay? Run now."

Running through to the Academy without being lucky enough to be found by the 'enemy', Kota saw Scion flipping a bookshelf or desk while saying 'Not Ah Not Ko' in the jumping lab.

"What are you doing... No, that's our dialogue! What are you doing, you!

Honestly, even Hota was in quite a hurry. When I thought I was relieved at the look of Scion I finally found, I said, 'What are you doing?'. With just a little frustration, Kota grabbed that hand as he walked over to Zukazuka and Shion.

"Hey! This place is off-limits except for the researchers!

"That's great if you're saying that! Don't worry, Mr. Zion! Let's get out of here! This place is dangerous! Come on, come on!

"Danger?"

In the words of Hota like that: Hmm? 'I just twisted my neck to show it, Scion. Then I shook my neck to the left and right to show it, not just to say,' Oh, boy '.

"... What do you hate, Coata, I said, 'If you smoke so much, you'll get sick! There's nothing I don't like about being pissed off."

"What are you talking about!

"So! I don't know enough to point out that tobacco is never good for my health." Eh! Is tobacco bad for your health? 'But you think I'm gonna say it, you idiot. I know that, but I can't stop smoking. "

"So what are you talking about! Does that matter now!?

"You don't know. I know a hundred people that this is a dangerous place. Coata, even if you don't point it out to me all the time, I know that very well. You know, I still dare to be here, I am."

That's what I said, Scion, who shows his grand chest up. To that appearance, for a moment, I said, "That? Am I wrong? 'After being pokanned like he was distracted, Kota curled up like he noticed something all the time.

"What are you talking about with your chest tightened! If you know this place is dangerous, you should just run away! Even kids can tell, that's not true!

"That's not why I'm going. I haven't found anything yet. Damn it! If this is the case, you should have listened to Aria and put it in order."

"Mr. Scion!

"Anyway, Coata. If you want to run, you can run on your own. You'll still be able to escape now. What, don't worry. I'm not going to die, and if I can find what I'm looking for, I'll run away immediately. Stay out of my way."

Shion takes his gaze off Kota and returns straight to her search for what she calls' forgotten '. I became sexually angry at the appearance of such a Scion, piercing through the usual' endurance 'without any wind that cared about Kota's agony or Aria's care.

"- Come on, man!

Kota's anger echoed inside the broad lab.

"We're all worried about you! 'I'm not going to die'? No one's going to die! Your Majesty and Mr. Aria are worried! I don't know how important research is! It won't be enough to protect you until you take your life! You two are waiting between balls! Come on, let's get out of here, Theon!

Hota's fierce anger and curse at what time is not there. Plus, like Kota earlier, he looked like a pokan.

"… research results?

Then Scion twisted his neck strangely to show. In such an attitude of Zion as to clap out only a little, the tone until earlier praised Nali, and Kota was surprised to carry on the words.

"... you're not? Is this an important place where Theon's research remains? Isn't that why you're here?

"... well, I can't deny it. I've been visiting for a little while since I was at the University of Larchia, and I've lived mostly in a lab since I took up my duties. In that sense, this is my castle, my house... well, there's nothing I can say about a place of memories."

"Right? Then..."

"But, well, that's it. Certainly there are some important research findings that are rare to lose... but that's an answer I've already derived, right? Even if it's lost, if you say so, it's like breaking a finished puzzle once. With the track record of" done, "it would be somewhat easier to recreate it again. Sure, there are some studies that can only be done here at the facility… If you really want to come up with that answer, you can visit the facility somewhere. Aren't you happy to give me money around the kingdom of Larchia? They wanted good researchers over there. Solvania, Laurent, you can do research anywhere."

"... uh..."

"I mean, that's the thing. At least I don't have the kind of research that I have to defend until now in exchange for my own life. Yeah, of course it doesn't mean research isn't important, does it? I'm just saying it's a temper that if it's lost, you should make it again. I'm with you, Coata. I'm not very good at hard work."

That's what I say and laugh at, Scion. Kota is confused because he doesn't know what it is.

"... then"

"Yeah?"

"... Then why aren't you running away? I thought you forgot something. Doesn't that mean research?

……

……

"... uh... yeah, well... you know, what"

It seems kind of very difficult to say, a messy Scion. The temperature of Kouta's gaze slowly drops to that appearance where she looks in the direction of the day after tomorrow, blowing a lousy whistle with 'Piu Piu'.

"... dude. Wouldn't that be a little more embarrassing?

……

"Hey!"

"Shit, it's no big deal! No, but... well..."

Really spicy to say, Zitto's gaze pierces Shion, who takes his gaze off. After trying to escape that gaze and doing his eyes here and there, Theon sighed like he'd given up.

"... it's an Arraia document"

"... Arraia document?

"That's right. Rather than forgetting... you're looking for something. Aleia, I've been looking for documents."

"... just give me a minute. Theon, didn't you say you couldn't read the Aleia document? Something? Does that mean it's culturally valuable or something?

"It is first class as a research material, and it has cultural value. Yes, but..."

No, scratch your cheeks in the light.

"Well... with that, maybe we can 'go home'?

You and Ayano.

"... what?

"Good if the research I looked into. I'm not saying" refrain "is in my head, but I can remember it to some extent. But I can't do it with the Aleia documents. Courta, you're right. I can't read the Aleia documents. I don't even know what it is. I don't know, but the Aleia document contained a description of the" Aleia's Legacy ". Maybe some blueprints, huh? Aria was fixing Aleia's legacy while she was looking at Ale."

……

"It would really be nice to be able to carry 'Aleia's Heritage itself'... but that would be difficult inside, in size, wouldn't it? That's why I've been looking for Aleia documents that combine design and instructions."

"What is that... something? So... you're looking for Theon to give us back to the rest of the world?

……

"... what the fuck?

"No, I didn't like being told that, so I kept my mouth shut. And Coata? This is what you say, isn't it?" You did such a dangerous thing for that! '"

……

Unexpectedly stuck in the words of Zion. Purely, I am delighted that Theon has tried to secure the means for returning himself and Ayano. Glad to hear it.

"... that's okay, we are. Ayano and I don't feel so itchy to live in this world."

"Look, I said"

"'Look, I told you,' it's not!

"I thought you'd say that. But I told you a long time ago." Makes you happy, "he said. I may be somewhat happy right now... but one day, when you want to go back to the world over there, you'll have trouble not being able to go home?

……

"Didn't I?

"... no. No, but... I don't want Theon to risk his life. I'm glad Theon's alive."

……

"... what the hell"

"... idiot. Don't say that. I'd be happy to fall back in love."

Scion turns bright red to his ears and smiles so. Fluffy and gentle with that grin, Kota accidentally blushes her cheeks too.

"...... hmm. Well, anyway, yeah. I want to make you happy. Nothing else, it's for me. Well, then resume your search."

That being said, Scion cuts his gaze off from Kota as if he were blindfolded and resumes his search. He stared at the appearance as if it had frightened him, and Kota sighed in a small way.

"... what?

"Me too..."

Take a breath.

"- No, I'll look with you. It'll be faster."

"Oh? Have you stopped saying 'tame' yet?

"I'm sorry."

"Nothing, I don't care. I mean, right? Instead, you and I are the same age, and if you talk to me normally, I like you, okay?

"It's not for you, Tammy Mouth."

"Even though Ayano has a tattered mouth?

"... a lot of tangling, huh? Do you want me to move my hand more than my mouth?

"Split up. Seems distinguished and slightly ill."

"... well, do good positively. More than that..."

Talking that far, Kota's hand stops moving. Theon gave a surprised look to the motion.

"Coata?"

……

"... what's up?

"No... Um, Mr. Scion?

That said, Hota softly lifts the book in his hand to show it.

"Yeah... 'this', right?

"This... oh, that's me! Where is it, Coata?

"No, where was it..."

That said, Hota pointed to the deposited book in front of Zion, at the top of it.

"... I thought, 'Pong' was in front of Mr. Zion?

……

……

……

……

"... I can't help but comment"

……

"... Mr. Scion?

"... aha"

Kota stares with a dazed eye at Shion, who misses his gaze. but it's also for a moment. When he sighed small, Kota opened his mouth.

"... well fine. No, why can't you find it when it's in front of you, you said you knew exactly where and what was in your room, and that you should clean up the room because it's holla... everything I'm trying to say is rotten."

"Well, you don't have to say that much! I mean, I'm telling you everything!

"Yes, but! Anyway, I can't help staying here forever! Let's get out of here!

That said, Hota takes the book at hand aside and moves on to the entrance. And I'm sure Theon grabbed Kota's sleeve like that.

"? Mr. Theon?

"Where are you going, Courta?

"Where... you've already found what you're looking for, haven't you? Just..."

"No, I didn't. You, try to get out of the entrance normally? You'll find him in one shot, won't you? You seem to be holding on, and that kind of place is missing?

You're a real idiot - while coming to Sion's words slightly 'kachin' and still don't know what Sion is talking about, Kota twisting his neck. Seeing the figure as chilling, Theon slaps Cancun two or three times on the floor at his feet with his heels.

"... what are you doing?

"... Academic work is intense. I've never done this before, but I heard there used to be a boss who canned researchers for days to decades."

"... is that it?

"So... here it is"

Striking around his heel, Scion nodded loudly that the sound of Cancun had turned into a light sound, kneeling down to the spot. Keep your hands on the floorboard and force.

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

"Well, there were some researchers who got away with the rest of the intense work. That's a remnant of it, this' hidden passage '."

Beneath the stripped floorboard, the darkness was opening its mouth as if it were about to be sucked in.

……

"If we follow this passage, we can get out of the royal castle. We'll rendezvous with a hidden passage from between balls on the way, so we'll see everyone else. Let's go, Coata."

"Sa, let's go... yeah!? What? Or a hidden passage?

"I used it well when I was younger too. I stopped using it these days, but I didn't even hear about burying it. I thought there was."

"... Aria, I didn't say anything to you?

"Aria is excellent. I guess I didn't know this aisle existed."

"Uh... So, Mr. Scion, was he going to... use this place to escape from the beginning?

"Naturally."

"... I wish I could have told Aria too"

"It's a little difficult until you get here. I don't care if I'm alone, but how hard is Aria? Then it's safer to head between balls."

"... What's the danger?

"Be careful hitting your head because the aisle's low."

Kota accidentally drops his shoulder on Scion like it's nothing.

"... Fine, I was seriously worried?

"I know. Well, let's be honest. I was a little happy."

"Now I'm sexually embarrassed!

I desperately said, 'Run! The person who said' had a safe escape route. If there was a hole even if it wasn't Kota, you'd want to go in.

"As I said earlier, I'm not going to die or anything. Something to die for, because... can I just be a little complacent?

"... go ahead"

"I'm sure you'll be sad when I die, won't you? I'm calling you 'Scion' and I think you're gonna cry... what do you say?

"... right. I won't deny it."

"Is that happy for you?

"... oh, already! I'm unhappy! I'm so unhappy.

Show me a smile like Theon cared better for Kota's words like obstinate, illuminated.

"- That's why I won't die for you. I don't care if I live for you!

Nowhere else, to make you happy, and to Shion, who said so and deepened his grin, Kouta shook his shoulder as if he had given up.
