Episode 13: Turn to the Open Gate Right * 4

I read the letter again.

From "Feeda Plata Argent." The Argent family, as Faye explains, is the second largest family of kings in the country. It means it's a much more powerful house than the Redgard house... but I don't feel it at all. I don't know, much more powerful than the Redgards. I wonder what that means. Does that mean you have a big forest?

... and the content of this letter is that such a powerful house has invited me to "become a painter." In a very straightforward way, "Why don't you quit the Red Gard house and come to us?" As for me, I have no choice but to think that this is... incredible confidence.

I don't know, I don't really feel like it's about me at all...

"... in the meantime, are you saying that this is a great person offering me great treatment?

"Ah, well, that's what I'm talking about...."

Fei, peering at the letter from the side, nodded with a complicated face.

Argent house ah. You've been born a long time..... "

"Is that what this is about?"

"Oh, that's what I'm talking about. The fact that the Argents know about it is worth it. The point is, you're not the one who paints in the corner of the world, you're the one who paints near the middle of the world."

... even if you say so, it's a bit troublesome. Uh, I like the corner of the world.

"Ah... if you want, to Argent's house."

"I'm not going."

Faye thinks I'm going to take the invite, but I'm not particularly attracted to the story, so I'm not going to take it.

I mean, I hate to quit being a Redgard painter. I like this forest. [M] In general, I've become a spiritual spirit in this forest...

"Hey, Faye. How do I refuse this?"

So the only problem I have right now is how to say no to this story.

"... no, wait a minute, Corn. What's this? You should put aside everything about step-in-law to me and think seriously."

"Even if you say so, I don't know this guy."

"Then you should know from now on.... no, corn. This is a really big story. If House Argent wants you to be a painter, that means you're highly regarded.

"Hmm...."

That's right, even if you say so...

... no, Fay's right, 'I guess you should know now'. If you're not sure who you're dealing with, you should know who you're dealing with, then think about it and say no.

But I don't know...

"Faye, do you think I should go to Argent's house?

"... no matter what I think, this is your decision."

... because Faye's not feeling well, I still don't feel comfortable inviting her to write.

Then I managed to twist the reply to the letter.

It was the usual style of writing in white ink on a dark blue note, and I wrote something like, "I don't know much, so I want you to tell me the details." Supervised by Mr. Crowe.

"I see. This sentence won't make you feel disgusted. The Argents would have heard about the" Wonder Gallery, "and if a boy like" I don't know the world of people, "had trouble sending a letter, he would have never stopped."

"Eh, is that what this is about?

You don't think I'm writing something like "not human" from myself?

"I see. That's the sentence. It's a slightly unknown, leftover, fluffy text.... like you and I love you."

That brings a smile and an attractive smile to Claire.

Yeah, well, there's a lot to think about, but let's not worry about it...

Since I sent the letter, I was distracted and uncomfortable, and Faye was more distracted and uncomfortable than I was.

"... Fay, are you okay?

"Huh? Oh, wow. Are you okay?

"I'm lurking in a tube fox...."

"Heh!?... wow, it was true! Hey, guys, I'm not a corn, so don't come in my clothes! Hey, hey, hey! Don't tickle!

... it seems that Fay is blurry that he won't notice until he dives into the tube fox.

Saying no, I dragged the tube fox out of Faye's clothes. Slipping out, the tube fox is satisfied. Yeah, I'm glad you could dive into a gap that doesn't normally fit in.

"... hey, Fei"

"Hmm? What?

I hold the dragged tube fox on my lap and ask Faye.

"I guess I should go to Argent's house."

"... that's what you decide. We can't say anything."

That's what Faye said, with a very cloudy look on her face.

... Faye knows this world better than I do, knows it better than I do, and is better at dealing with people than I am.

That's why some of them are only visible to Faye, and some of them are just feeling Faye.

... I want to know that. I want to know and make a decision.

"If Faye has something to think about, I want to make a decision that includes it."

Yeah, I'll tell you what.... but Fay stroked my head with a bitter smile and said,

"Well then, after you've spoken to Argent at home, It's not fair to talk to me first. I don't think we should have a prejudice against the Argents."

... I'm getting more and more troubled when I somehow grasp Faye's intentions. [M]

But... yeah. Faye's right. Talk to the Argent family for once, then decide.

The reply to my letter flew the next day. [M]

The gold foil envelope is sealed with silver sparkling wax. When I opened the envelope that seemed to cost money, it said, "Then come to Argent's house."

"I knew I was going home."

"That's right. I can't say," You come to the woods. "

Is that so? "How about a forest bath?" No, I don't think so. Mm-hmm.

"... you want to come with Faye?

"No... no, I'm not going to do it this time. It's getting complicated."

Ah... House Argent says, "Leave the Red Gard house," so I'm sure it would be a bad idea if Faye were there.

Well then, I'll have Laocles follow me.

"Oh, yeah.... and if you can, Claire can follow me."

Huh?

"Secretaries and stuff like that are fine. That's the kind of role Claire could play."

"Uh, um, why Crowe?

I wonder if it would be better for Claire not to go out right now.

That's how I asked Faye...

"When you get fucked up, Laocles is fine if it can be solved by force. But I can't solve it by force. It's me, or if I can't, it's Claire."

Faye said that with a serious face.

"... okay. I'll ask Claire."

"Oops, you can do that! Don't!"

Fay turned his serious face around and smiled and slapped me in the back... hmm.

I'm getting very anxious.

What do you think?

"Yeah, it's beautiful."

Then we started preparing to disturb the Argent family.

First of all, Mr. Crowe.... my "secretary" will follow you. [M] That's why I got dressed like that.

White jacket on a knee-length dress decorated with black lace. Both have tight designs, and according to them, Claire decided to keep her hair neat.... somehow, it looks like a secretary.

"... well, when it's time, I'll buy you some time. I don't know if I'm attracted to the Argents, but I can't say that in an emergency."

... I'm really worried about that.

"I look like this, but if I actually fight, I'm sure I won't be happy with the time I've earned. I don't think House Argent's guards are below me."

I want Laocles to look good in armor. Looks like a guard.

... but I'm worried after all.

"When I'm in trouble, I'll let Alicorn out and get you out of here. Ready?"

"I can ask the Phoenix to take Claire with me, but...."

"Oh, Corn takes precedence over me. I'll run as far as I can, so you run first."

... mmm.

I'm so worried!

... I was worried, but I couldn't help worrying. The next day, we set out for Argent territory.

The Argent realm lies opposite the King's Capital from the Redgard realm.... or the other side of King's Landing seems to have been an Argent territory for a while. You mean you have a very big land.

We stayed overnight in the corner of King's Landing (I didn't think Mr. Crowe would get caught), then left early the next morning and arrived in Argent Territory for two nights in Argent Territory town.

... because I don't want to know why we spend so much time like this flying in Alicorn or Phoenix.

Dragons, alicorns, and phoenixes can come to Argent territory in two days, but other means of transportation... such as a regular carriage, so if you want to travel, you won't make it in two days.

So I have the nerve to shift my departure by one day and spend a little more time in Argent territory to deceive the means of travel.

"I'm restless."

"It's okay. They want you. I won't be hard on you."

"I just wanted to say no, so maybe I shouldn't have seen him in person...."

As far as Faye, Crowe and Laocles are concerned, I think we should be very careful when we go to the Argents. I don't think you're going to be imprisoned, but I've never been too careful.

... I don't know what to do. I'm getting nervous.

"... well, when we're done talking, let's visit Argent Town. You might find the landscape you want to paint.

"Mmm...."

But I can't help being nervous. Now, as Claire told me, let's calm down with some fun after we finish talking. Yeah....

After two nights of trouble sleeping, I finally stood in front of the house of Argent.

"Um, it's Kirigo Kamikami. I got a letter from Feda Plata Argent."

There was a fine gate in front of the house of the Argents, and beside that gate was a fine knight. So when I showed the letter to the person, it seemed that they had already spoken. He guided us.

... so I waited in the reception room nervously.

You're Corgo Uesora.

Eventually, a man enters the reception room.

... my hair and beard are silver grandfathers. He entered the reception room with a sandalwood cane decorated with silver.

And the man who stood in front of me said, reaching out to me.

"Jin is the Feeder Plata Argent. I am the current owner of House Argent. Nice to meet you, Corgo Uesora."

... while I was so nervous, I just grabbed his hand and said, "It's an honor to meet you."

... there are many guards behind Mr. Argent. The people lined up against the wall of this room. Scary.

"Well, let's get to work."

Argent says that and laughs while sitting on the sofa across from us, but I... I don't feel that way at all!

I came in front of a horrible person. I feel that way!
