The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)
Episode 176: Changing Positions, Unchanged Distances
Approximately thirty minutes after Hota and Niza faded pale, as if inversely proportional to the soothing nature of the women.
"... so? What are you gonna do after all?
Coffee Break - Well, Emili's handmade tea is on hand - Ayano, who threw cookies into her mouth while pinching her, uttered that.
"... I don't think it's 'none' as a way. I'm sorry to hear that."
That's what Sonia says as she lays her eyes down a little sorry for Ayano's words. Ayano shook her right hand to the left and right as she panicked at Sonia's attitude.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I don't mean to blame you or anything... just, you know... what do you mean? Let's just say it's a little bit 'too much' …"
Even Ayano knows that this method is not a bad one. Whether it succeeds or not, it's well worth a try. What's best is that no one gets hurt where I did 'this'. Tell you what, it's a no-risk high return.
"... ha. That's right. It's not bad, is it?"
The women - Ayano, if you don't think about Sion, Emili, and Sonia's emotions.
Well, even if you think about it, I want you to see it. All the women gathered here now have more emotions than they yearn for - well, if you ask me, it's Hota Rubbers. Such a group of women said, "I will marry Kota." It can't be calm.
"... it is. It's not bad, not bad."
And that's the same thing with Sonia. Seriously, he is a gifted child. "Dear Erica, I married Kota to rescue her." Even if I got Kota in such a disintegrating way, it can't be in the way she wants.
"A little, okay?
"Mr. Theon? Go ahead."
"It wouldn't be a very good way...... how about saying 'disguise'?
"Impersonation?"
"Yes, it's a disguise. Princess Sonia put it in the coata... what? Um... it's me."
"What are you trying to say, Theon?
Ayano turns to Zion, who speaks at no time. With such a gaze and stuck in words, 'Ugh,' Zion nevertheless continues his words in a sigh.
"... I thought Princess Sonia said that earlier, too? The Solvanian royal family has the blood of the princess Eleanor. So 'disguise' isn't a tradition either?
Everyone puts a question mark over his head on Zion's words. In the meantime, Niza raised her voice as if she had noticed something.
"... a remote edge, is it?
"... yes - hey! What the hell, Miss Ayano! Those eyes!
Ayano opened her mouth as she stared coldly at Zion, who spoke out affirmative words bitterly.
"... that's not in the boulder, is it, Theon?
"Grrr! But! Not bad for a methodology!? Anyway, if Princess Sonia is convinced, I guess even Princess Sonia isn't convinced!? So... Miss Erica, this is a rescue mission!
"Well, I don't know what you're trying to say... but I'd pull it off a bit if they didn't hesitate to come up with ideas that would bat a 10-year-old on a boulder ~"
"I hesitated!? I hesitated! But this is more than the only way!?
Shame on you. Shion screams as bright red as the fire is going to come out of your face. Ayano turned his gaze to Sonia, not lightly, saying yes to such a Scion.
"... and well, that opinion is out of that person's absence... what do you think, Sonia?
"Hey! I'm not human!
"It's not a bad idea. Even for me, I can only think of a few ways to get you out of here on a boulder. Well, I thought you were terrible at boulders."
"It's a misunderstanding! There's a misunderstanding, Princess Sonia!
"Oh? So Sonia agrees?
"Listen to me! Don't ignore me!
"Raise your hands, my lords."
"So..."
"" - Shut up!!
"- Yes."
Theon, who kept raising his voice in protest, silence. Sonia went on to say things like that, even if only a little bit of Scion tears up at Emily pounding on the shoulders of the dripping Scion with a somewhat enlightened look.
"... Well, I think Mr. Zion's story is a realistic decision. It would be the best way to convince everyone."
"... so do you?
Ayano's words like peeping. However, Ayano frowned pickily at the fact that his neck, which would be shaken vertically in the flow of the story, was shaken horizontally.
"... you mean you won't?
"I certainly don't think it's realistic and the best policy. Except for the fact that it can't be done."
"Can't run?
To Ayano's words, yeah, nod a lot smaller.
"Your father will not forgive you."
"... oh"
"In the first place, I came under Kota... at first, right? At first, it's as a 'fiancé' by your father's life. And if you correct the ex, it's a political act, so to speak, for your father to be interested in Courta... well, physically, to 'take it in' to Solvania. So, if there is."
"... is there a wack to let go of a bird in a cage on purpose,"
"Yes."
"Admit it for the happiness of my pretty daughter, or..."
……
……
"... do you think there is, Mr. Ayano?
"... I don't think so"
To Sonia's dry grin, Ayano lowers her neck gaggedly. Sonia continued her words as she sighed at the appearance.
"There's no reason why your father is so sweet. I'm sorry to bother you all, but it's no exaggeration to say that there's no first option."
"... well, I guess that guy would. Fortunately, you will take advantage of Hota."
Ayano says so to throw it away, thinking of Carlos I's - from Ayano's point of view - bottomless grin I met at Terra. Sonia spins affirmative words, even as she gets a little confused by the way it looks.
"I don't know what to say about my own father, but fatherly I guess I'll just make use of him. Whatever you say, it's my 'stepson'. Father, I love things I can use for free."
……
The indoor air gets heavy. Emily raised her hand small in such a breathless air.
"Well... if Sonia and Kota have a wedding... to Erica... how would you explain..."
"... right. That's where my head hurts too."
Ayano's tannic surface becomes even more tannic to Emili's words. To Ayano like that, Theon rang reluctantly.
"But... well, don't you have a choice? This time we're talking about saving Miss Erica... even if it's not going through, Rika-"
"Shut the fuck up if you're not a girl."
"- Oh, come on, you're low on women, what, you're low on women!
"... ha. Am I right, Theon? Well, Erica would understand, wouldn't she? The best way to help Erica is to help her. But I'm not convinced you understand that, am I? In the first place, Erica's being held captive right now, like she caught herself trying to get us out of that place? If you say so, it's not like you can put a machine gun in the back against the benefactor of your life."
Ayano, Sion, and Emili are still convincing. We all talk about it, and it's decided, because our own will intervenes there. But Erica's not. Even though I was taken hostage on purpose to help everyone, I wouldn't be convinced without Erica if my loved ones were married on their own without my knowledge. I wouldn't even call it a hostage and a loss, but I can easily imagine that 'lumps' would remain.
"And Erica, Kota's real wife."
... Well, there are circumstances like this. In such Ayano's words, Emili differed as if she had panicked.
"Because -... Cohon. Erica will sit with you for the longest time since Kota came to this kingdom of Flame. So... let me say that you understand most about Kota..."
"That excuse would be a little painful, wouldn't it, Emily? Even Emily, right?
Emili in Ayano's words, silence. Ayano glances over her shoulder as she sighs small at Emily like that.
"... Well, I'm pretty sure Erica's the closest person to Kota since she came over here. Well, based on the circumstances..."
When he cut the words so far, Ayano turns his gaze to Kota.
"... what do we do, Kota?
"No... I don't care what they say we do"
Kota, who was inadvertently told the story, lowers his eyebrow root with a troubled face. Well, that's right. Erica, the rescue operation is about to become a dowry. But, staring at Kota like that, Ayano exhaled and showed him a slight sigh of fright.
"Well, in your position, there's a lot to think about, isn't there? Still, there are few realistic ways to choose, and you don't have to go so far as to be perfect in it... Well, that's a good way to pass, huh?
"Well... maybe..."
"I've been cramming all over you about cheaters, haven't I? I thought I'd be ready for this one."
That said, Ayano smiled small.
"- Sonia, don't marry me properly, Kota. 'Cause that's... that's how we're all gonna be happy."
Indoor air stopped.
"- Oh! Oh, Dear Ayano! Hey, what!
"Oh, yeah! Miss Ayano, are you sure of your mind! Fuck, I can't believe you admitted to marriage!
For a moment, too, as Emily and Zion blame it - well, I'm actually blaming it, but anyway, it winds up like a machine gun towards Ayano. Ayano succeeded in his words, waving his hands at both of them in such agony.
"May fly, both of you. 'Cause you wouldn't have a choice, would you? This is the only way. If that's all you have to say, come up with a counterproposal. Let me tell you something, huh? Is it your child's business to deny the idea of' dislike 'to a habit that has no idea? It'll be a good year, you guys."
"It's..."
"Yes..."
"See? Some good idea, huh?
Attack alternation, now Shion lets his mouth open and close as he tires of telling Ayano to turn around to attack.
"Look, you don't, do you? Then we have to choose the best way to take it as it is. And the best way to do that is to say," Sonia and Kota's marriage. "
That said, mouth the cup of tea that was on the table.
"... Are you sure?
Sonia reluctantly, but firmly, spoke to Ayano, who floated the tannic side of the completely warmed tea.
"What?
"The... I..."
Stuck in words.
"... I will take my coata..."
Still, Ayano responded by clamping her shoulders to Sonia's words, which she managed to spit out.
"... well, it's not as convincing as you think, is it? But, as I was saying, it's definitely the best thing you can do at the moment."
"So, but!
"I've said a lot, but Erica's rescue wax is the top priority right now. Erica, I can also understand that I'm not comfortable with a lot of things... well, I guess I'll just have to bow my head and ask you to forgive me as much as I want there ~. I'm sorry to say this, but we all put up with it to save Erica, so it's a pain split, right?
"... I..."
"Even Sonia is never a convincing development. You're not the kind of kid who thinks you're just gonna see the results, are you, Sonia?
"... Yes"
"Then I have no choice. Sonia took Kota... son-in-law? Is that what you mean? Anyway, no one is convinced that Hota's rightful wife, Pozi, is satisfied, but let's be forced to convince them that it's still the best way. But, Sonia? Sonia's making one mistake."
"... a mistake, is it?
Saying 'Yes, Mistake' to Sonia, who twisted her neck, Ayano sipped away her completely warmed tea with a sigh of breath.
"... I'll give Sonia the right-wife position. But, well, I'll take the most 'beloved' side room position."
"" "What...?
Emily, Scion, and Sonia's eyes dot. Ayano continued his words, looking at the three of them funny.
"Is that it? Am I saying something that weird? I mean, Emily? Didn't you once say," I don't care if it's in the side room "or something?
"Well, that's... well, I'll sit down..."
"What about Theon? You're the type of person who gets away softly with tears when Hota gets married? There's no reason, is there? Aren't you the type to get whatever you want?
"Well, that's... that's... that's true -"
"I mean, Theon has to get it for Kota. Wouldn't there be another one? Even at his age."
"- So, hey! Don't be rude, same age!
"What about Sonia? If we were on Kota's side, would we get in the way?
"Oh, that's not true! Wow, I... if I could live with you all the time, if I could have fun... but"
"Well, I know it's a little early to have a concubine in a boulder. But, you know, take it to Sonia. This is revenge, right? I wonder if I can truly captivate Hota, whom I have obtained here. Or what? Are you going to spoil the undefeated? Well, if we can't beat each other - and you're gonna cry and you're gonna run, okay?
A challenging Ayano gaze. In the wake of that gaze, Sonia showed a grin that was flashy and gradually invincible at first.
"... I don't mind, Mr. Ayano. I'm just... I'm not giving you the coater, am I?
"Superior. I'll show you later. When you're practicing what you call a gif?
That's what I said, the two laughing at each other staring at each other. Emily broke in like she was in a panic.
"Wow, me too! I can't lose, either!
"... Hmm. You don't know that? The Academy is a bunch of losers, right? Even if I give up the flower" Position, "I'm not going to give up the profit."
Dear Four, look at the women scattered with bees and sparks.
"... Hey, Mr. Coata?
"... what is it?
"... you're a hottie. Woe to you."
"... that's not what you say after a hottie, is it?"
Softly Kota dropped his shoulder on Niza, who floats his mercy.
- I sincerely appreciated Ayano's "kindness".
