The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)
Episode 175: Shallow Wisdom of the Little Snake
With an innocent grin that she would like to describe as Couscous, Sonia again, this time trying to slow down indoors.
"... well? It won't be a very good way for you to take it though. I apologize to Erica, because this is one 'chance'. I'll make the most of my chances, me."
Sonia's words and actions can also be provocative. The men of Kota and Niza, who stare at it, and the women who stare at Sonia like they stare at it.
"... ha"
- The women are gone. Ayano with a sinister face, Emili grinning bitterly like she was in trouble, sighing loudly earlier, putting her hand on her forehead like she was frightened and shaking her head like a jerk, there's just Scion there. Such a threesome, Sonia's brow picked up on the threesome, who would still not have taken her own words seriously, and pointed the spearhead of that word at Zion.
"... what is it, Mr. Scion, that attitude?
"What is it, and have you come? No, not anymore... what is it? How do I get in from where...... hey, guardian!
"... to? Wow, is that me?
It is Sonia's bomb statement, provocative attitude, plus this reaction of the women. He was Kota, who stared at what had just happened, but he regained consciousness in Zion's words, or he replied like he was in a panic to show it.
"When I say guardian, it's up to you, isn't it?
"Yes, no, it's not decided..."
"Anyway! Well, I'm an outsider, right? Nothing. I don't know what you're going to say about your education policy, but give me a little more 'decent' education!
"... I just don't want Mr. Theon to ever say 'decent' or anything like that"
"Oh my God!
"Oh, no. It was a silence. It was a silence... yeah...?
I don't know what it is. To Kota, who gave such a look, Theon sighed deeply with a face that looked down as much as he could.
"... what is it? A little 'welcome'?
"Uh, Theon? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Ayano opens his mouth this time after seeing Kota like that for a moment. Keep walking and arm in front of Sonia.
"Hey, what is it, Mr. Ayano? Oh, you look so scared!
"No... yeah, what is it? Well, there's a lot to be angry about, but for now."
That said, Ayano raises her hand high above Sonia's head. Suddenly, everyone in the room twisted their necks wondering what was going on.
"- Educational Instruction!
Later, for the first time today, I had the stunned look that my hand had been dropped on Sonia's head.
"~ ~ ~!!!! Yes, it hurts! It hurts, Mr. Ayano!
"Naturally! I made it hurt!
"Hey, Ayano! You, what are you doing!
"May fly! Kota, shut up for a second!
To Sonia, who squatted holding her head in tears, she controlled Kota with her gaze and words, trying to rush over like she was in a panic, and Ayano crouched down and gazed at Sonia.
"... I think I've said this before? Sonia looks pretty much like me, you think she does, don't you?
To Ayano's kind words, and yet Sonia returns a tight gaze in tears.
"Is that what it is? Oh, do you hate me so much for being such a similiar spouse of Courta? Is that why you behaved so disrespectfully! That kind of thing..."
"... is there another shot?
"- Hih! I'm against violence!
Ayano, who breathes' ha-ha 'into his clenched fist bone, has to hold his head! and Sonia at a distance. She sighed at him like that, and Ayano broke the fist she was holding and shook her hand two or three times to show it.
"Just kidding. Anyway! You're like me and Sonia, aren't you? So, well, you think what you're thinking is more or less similar, don't you? Hmm? Try replacing it with yourself... in this situation, fisherman's interest, scratching Kota from the side like a thief cat, if I were you, I would never do it, right? 'Cause, right? Sonia, if Kota is next door, is that okay? Are you convinced?" All right, Hota, you got it!' Does it make a small leap? There's no reason, is there? Kota has to admit it, and Kota has to choose it. You're not convinced, are you? You don't want to expand like this, do you? At least, because if I were you, I wouldn't want to. "
"... you don't know that, do you? I am not like Mr. Ayano. Mr. Ayano does not make it good, and I see it as an opportunity. That's the difference."
Ayano laughs with her nose at Sonia's words like that.
"Hang on. Nah," I see it as an opportunity. "If you really think it's a chance, you can't bother asking 'are you ready' in front of us. If you think about the power of Sonia's house, you can keep your mouth shut and move on, right? You're not such a stupid kid to dare take hostile action and show off, are you, Sonia?
……
"Well, Sonia, who's not such a dumb kid, guessed 'why she did such a dumb thing'... well, I'm a little pissed off. That's why I gave you educational guidance, Wake up."
Talking that far, Ayano flies her gaze to Emily. In response to that gaze, Emili nodded, kneeling to replace Ayano, slowly stroking Sonia's head, which leaned down while holding down her battered head.
"... Dear Sonia? Will you remember?
"... what, is it?
"It was Sonia who pushed Erica's back that day when Courta was about to travel from Terra to Larchia, when she exposed herself to tears in front of the hall, wasn't it?
"-!"
"I'm never going to say I've been with you for a long time... but still, I don't mean to be a shallow relationship. So, Master Sonia? You know what I mean."
"... what... but... is it?
"You're kind, aren't you?
……
"Would you, Erica, Ayano, Zion, and... make it hard for me? Doesn't sound like it to me, though?
That's what I'm saying, Emily, I won't stop stroking your hand. A cup of Sonia's eyes, staring at Emily like that, accumulates so many tears that she is likely to fall from scratch.
"... well, as Miss Ayano and Miss Emili said. The measures themselves are never bad. Not bad, but I guess I couldn't tell the boulders, given the sentiments of the women Coata's keeping me around, could I? I dared to buy a villain and get out because I didn't want to see everyone grieving. It's a story that still smears sad emotions with anger. I don't know the details of the commission, but this is the place for the most part."
Saying so, Theon smokes a cigarette at hand and slowly smokes purple smoke.
"I don't care about that gut thinking that I should be the only bad guy who doesn't like what's best. And then there's the place where you think you can fool us with such radish actor acting... Oh, I don't care where you think we're sad about that. Not to mention, there's no reason to think Princess Sonia is the only one who's sloppy?
"Yes, yes. Sonia gave you a lot of thought, didn't she? Even we're determined to think positively. Well, you're not saying you have absolutely nothing to think about, are you? But you know what? That doesn't make me hate Sonia. Was it that kind of thing to hang out with us? Think this needs to be tight, huh? I tried gothin"
"... Dear Ayano. Still too much fist bone on the boulder, right?
"It's corporal punishment with love, so no problem!
"... what you are saying will sit just like Cota. Besides, it's up to us who made Sonia think this far all by ourselves in the first place, isn't it?
"Ugh... Emily's got an honest theory... ugh. Reflect."
"... haven't you been reflecting?
Ayano whistles as she turns to Emili, who sends a tough gaze. To that appearance, Sonia, who had been gently stroked in the head by Emili, erupted small.
"... Later? Sonia, isn't laughing terrible?
"... x. It was too white of a way of looking away, so I said."
"Whose fault is it, whose?
"You deserve Mr. Ayano, don't you?
Ugh! Ayano holding his chest. With her hands on her mouth again to laugh at that appearance, Sonia carefully lowered her head after standing up and paying off the dirt on her skirt.
"... I'm sorry, gentlemen. I was a little confused."
With such a gentle gaze on Sonia, the three of them grin. Emili, who stood up as well as Sonia, gently stroked Sonia's head again.
"… don't think about carrying it on your own anymore"
"... Yes"
"That's right, Sonia! Because we can do both wisdom and strength. I don't really take responsibility alone or anything! Can't you trust me?
"... no. That's not true."
"Well, that's the thing. We want to rescue Miss Erica, but as much as that, we're not going to let anyone else get hurt."
"Sorry, it was shallow"
Absolutely. Reflect.
Scion with a grand breast. Sonia slowly closed her eyes so as to bite each of the three words, then lowered her head deeply again.
"... I am so, so sorry. And... thank you."
Can it be illuminated?
Sonia's cheeks with her face up were dyed by Zhu - but there was a very great smile there to say.
"... Hey, Mr. Coata?
"... what is it?
"Which is this? Should I be scared of a woman? Or are those four just half-assed?
"... probably the latter"
"... good. Same goes for Sonia, but the three of you who read Sonia's thoughts like that must be too awesome, right?
"... really"
"But... the most amazing thing is Mr. Courta letting those four samurai, right? I've never heard of you before, me. There's a word out of Mr. Theon's mouth that says," Let him be a samurai. "
"... give me a break, I mean it quite seriously"
In contrast to the women sending a smiling gaze, the two men did not know how to stop the cold sweat flowing down their spine.
