Lesson 21: Giving a Bouquet of Flowers to a Thief * 13

Then, tied up in a contract with me, Luster answered my question.

Why did you steal the glass balls?

"... I thought that was the jewel I took from my father!"

So I could clearly see what Mr. Luster looked like.

... after all, Luster, there was no distinction between glass balls and jewels.

"The accommodation you're staying in has been properly investigated." Stealing is a pain in the ass, but it's not that hard. Just one kid, sleeping in a good mood, stealing the jewels. If that's all you guys need, that's it. but..... "

Yep.

"... as soon as I found the jewel by the window, a strange monster came out and began to disturb me"

... yeah. Well, my Summon Monsters are excellent.

"That's why I had no choice but to get something that looked like a jewel."... what's with that face? "

"No, I'm a little sorry for what I did..."

Even though Kuroa-san was being chased away by my Summon Monsters, she probably didn't mistake the sealed jewels and glass balls, but for Luster-san... I'm a bit sorry for that. I wonder what this is.

"So... even though you guys stole the jewels my dad gave you, it's like you're not moving, so I can't help it." I headed for Gringal. "

I think that what Luster says about "we" is the organization of Crore and the others. They call the head of the organization "Father", or they call Zito home. It's kind of like a family, I think.

"So I wrote to Karen and summoned you."... and then you guys came. "

"Actually, before I received the letter, I was in Gringal on another business, and sometimes that was your designated meeting place..."

As soon as she made the correction, Luster was stunned, and then gulped grumpily. Ah, I'm sorry I broke your hips. Go ahead, go ahead.

"... when I wandered into the Gringal Forest, that ghost came out." What he says is that a child with a strange power in the Gringals will come and he will eventually get the big jewel that sleeps in this forest. "

... a kid with a strange power is probably me. I wonder where that information got to the mage's ghost. No, well, I guess it was the Kachikachi Fire King.

"I remembered that Karen had taken the kid in addition to the man. And I knew my dad had a big jewel. It is speculation that Karen has not returned for such a reason in a long time. That's why I thought you were targeting the jewels."

Most likely. However, I think Crore was the most impressed by Luster, and then Lao Cres, I know, but... I guess my impression was thin.

"... so I was brought in to make a deal." Let's work together to steal the jewels from you, it's a deal. "

When I heard Luster's story, I thought it was going to be quite a big deal.

"The jewel is his share." Whatever it was, I wanted to get the gems to unlock the power and power of the gems. I didn't mean to work for free, so I got that much money. "

Did you get it? Where did that money come from?... well, if I was a gringo mage, I might have had one or two hidden treasures in the forest.

"Then, I ceded a third of his magic power for what I wanted to do." Instead, I decided to extend my life by a third... and give him my body after I died. "

Speaking of which, Luster-san said something like, "I'll give you half of it, so give me all of it"... but that was also about life and magic. I have no hesitation.

"For what, what are you doing that for..."

Even if I sold my life, did I want magic power? I wonder if it was necessary to obtain the sealed jewel.

When I asked, Luster's eyes flashed with madness for a moment.

"... to kill that muscle bastard." In some cases, I was going to kill Karen too. To do that, we needed strength.... I mean, what else is there? But if I don't, I can't even kill him. "

... the Bone Knights put their hands on the sword softly, and I was nervous.... but, "but", he says.

Do you still want to kill Laocles and Crore?

Gently, yes, I asked her to make sure... Luster sighed and closed her eyes.

"... no."

Then he said, in a voice in which the loneliness and emptiness of giving up were imbued with.

"No, no, no, no, no.

... I thought this might be where he dropped it, so I decided not to say anything more.

Maybe he doesn't want to touch Lao Cres or Crore anymore.

"... that ghost, she seemed to want her body, but what was she trying to do with it?"

Instead, she asked me, and Luster replied cheerfully with a smile on her nose.

"I don't know, that's not true.... but it seemed like he was serving the [Demon King]. You needed a body for him, didn't you? Or maybe it was because I said something new and I didn't really understand it."

While playing with the grass on the ground with his fingertips, Luster looked like she didn't care. The grass in the Gringal Forest is still a strong remnant of the summer. The crisp, green, soft grass swayed as Luster tampered with it.... maybe the gringo spirit wants to tickle you right now. I sometimes feel a little ticklish when Faye is scrubbing grass in the woods.

"Well, that ghost was pretty crazy, too." I was insane anyway. It's no use thinking about it. "

"I wonder if it's good that you've given your life and body to someone like that...?"

"It's like we don't have that kind of life expectancy." Tomorrow, he might accidentally die, even if he says he has a lifetime. "

I am convinced that it is something like abandoning oneself, or listening to a refreshing and light words. I'm sure that Crore also has these values at his roots.

”Luster, the Tickling Arsonist... erm, don't you know who the mage's ghost was serving?”

"I've never seen it before."

Oh, I see. Well, I wasn't expecting it...

... that means Luster doesn't know about [him] either. Hmm, at last, I have no choice but to be taught directly by the arson king.

"... by the way, what will happen to my lifetime?"

Huh?

When I was blurry, Mr. Luster told me that himself.

"The contract partner has disappeared, is this contract null and void?"

... uh, uh, hmm.

"Wait a minute... erm..."

I wonder, while I look at Mr. Luster's dick.... I'm very well.

"The magic power looks solid." "My dick is fine..." This means that the contract has already been established, and it may mean that the contract was terminated when you took the magic power of the mage and the mage took your life with you. "

While talking like that... I feel a little lonely. Considering that the life expectancy of the person in front of you may not be so long, I can't help but think of it.

No, maybe I can just get the magic power for convenience and think that the other side was crushed by the bird before I took it with me... but after all, I don't know.

"...... by the way, stop this dick!"

Ah, yes. It's about time I got rid of my dick because it's so pathetic. Um... oh, no. The roots are in my head... uh, uh... let's just pick the flowers and draw the roots and extinguish them...

My dick got out of Mr. Luster's head. Great, it went well.

... Actually, I succeeded in removing the dandelion at first, but I made Luster look like Francisco Xavier. So I hurriedly drew it back and turned it into a head with blond hair. Good, good, I didn't find out.

"Finally, my head is back... damn it, it's a strange thing to do"

"I'm sorry."

While complaining, Luster scrubbed her head and carefully checked that there was no dick left. "It's okay, I've gotten so pretty that my hair is gone for now..."

"... by the way"

Yeah.

"What the hell are you...?" Are you one of their kids? "

... yeah?

What are they?

"... with him and that muscle bastard"

... yeah!?

"Oh, no! No!" I'm just their... uh, their employer! ”

"I don't know. Neither of them looks alike." I don't think he's the age of the kid who made it two years ago or so. "

Mr. Luster laughs when he says that. Apparently, I was disgusted. Let's do this. Let's grow dandelions again.

"... and then the question just now." Do it anyway. I don't think he's going to feel any fear anyway. "

I wondered what it was about, but apparently it was about the question "Is love a fear?" Chengdu... surely, Crore, there are no enemies, no scary things on the way.

Well then, is that enough?

"Ah, wait, wait. I promise I'll draw it on the back of my hand."

And Luster was about to untie herself, so she hurriedly borrowed the back of his hand.

"You already have a contract."

"Apart from that, I thought I'd draw the seal of promise..."

I painted a picture of my eyes here on the back of Mr. Marpink's hand... but this time, it feels a little different.

"... hey, wait a minute. What are you drawing?"

"Yeah, I can't wait, dick."

If you draw something on the seal of promise with him, I feel like this is it... I painted something on the back of Luster's hand that looks like a pattern of a dandelion flower.

Somehow, I hope Mr. Luster will be well.

And then... if Mr. Luster does anything wrong, please let his dick grow from his head.

Then I untied Mr. Luster and set him free.

At the same time, it hit my body.... uh, the Laocres that were hit by the stairs. Luster had a strange look on her face. Maybe my body is something completely different from Lao Cres's. But for once!

Well then, I guess we'll never see each other again.

"If you come to visit me, I will entertain you."

"Who's going?"

Oh, yeah?... I don't really feel like talking to Luster right now. Maybe he's the kind of person who just cares about his appearance with a bit of placidity and temperament, and takes good care of it. Um... kind of like a bad type from a long time ago. I don't think so.

Well, come if you feel like it.

When I gave Luster the bouquet of dandelion flowers she had picked from her head, she gave me a slightly unpleasant look.

I'm fine.

"Anyway, the wilds will drip and die soon."

Mr. Luster went somehow to the end.

... I was somehow lonely behind it.

... by the way.

I'd like to talk to you a little bit earlier.

Since then, flowers have sometimes arrived to Sola's "Croa".

It was Kinsenka... a small bouquet of Calendula flowers from an unknown sender.

I felt like it was a gift from Luster, but Crore said, "Well, it's common. Someone from Soleila, I think. I was tilting my neck while saying," I wish it wasn't someone like Marpink, "so I decided not to say anything.

... by the way, Crore, about Calendula: "I don't particularly like it, but it's a cute flower. Someone seemed to like it, and sometimes it was decorated in the organization's living room." So I wonder if Luster really has a hard time seeing it...

However, it seems that the bouquet of flowers is certainly delightful, and "the flowers are not sinful". Therefore, the flowers decorated in the living room of Mr. Crore's house were shaken by the light streaming in through the window. That's probably why I think this is good for Mr. Luster.

... someday, I hope you can come and visit me properly.
