Lesson 23: Hearing Questions * 2

... and the sixth seal is safely processed.

The Tickle King was crushed by the Red Dragon and disappeared. I wanted to hear about him and the outside world.... no, I don't think they're going to answer me.

"Now, it's time for the last seal... let's get ready!"

Reacting to Faye's voice, the birds scream, groans, groans. Faye said, "Oh, you're in a good mood! 'I'm laughing, but maybe not. I'm sure this is a statement of intent that says,' Next time, you will crush the Kachikachi Fire King. '

To be honest, the ghost of the Gringo Mage was more troublesome.

"... don't say that. Even though it was a short time, he was growing dandelions in the sealed jewels."

"On the other hand, that ghost originally had a lot of magic power to become a ghost, right?" Besides, it must have been the one who kept accumulating magic power even after it became a ghost with only magic power and will. No, it's only natural to be strong. That's it. "

Somehow, when the Kachikachi Fire King hears about it, he's told a story that seems angry. "No, I think it was too strong this time..." At the very least, I think it was strong enough for the Red Dragon to be able to hit Faye...

In the meantime, the injured person should be treated by Phoenix or me, and have a rest. I'll be home a little later.

We are disturbed by the recommended resting spot of the Gringal Spirit Lord, where we are relaxing and bathed in the sunshine.

... it was a very cozy place, only recommended by the Spirit Lord.

It's like a small square surrounded by a few large trees, and it's a natural garden with small springs and colorful flowers. The grass is thin, soft and feels like a carpet. It's too soft a grass for me to go up with my shoes on, and I'm barefoot. [M] The grass on my feet is a bit ticklish.

So we all relax and talk a little bit.

Once the final seal is dealt with, the Kachikachi Fire Lord will really come back to life.

"That's how it's going to be, maybe."...... but maybe? "

Yeah. I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty sure it will.

"... well, in a way, I'm glad." I was wondering what to do when Lugyrus unseals it. I think it would be better to deal with it here than to leave the Kachikachi arsonist in the future. "

I think so.

Faye's Positive Thinking has something she wants to apprentice. That's right. It won't solve your problem if you put it behind you... yeah. There are a lot of things I think about, but I think it's good this time.

"Besides, from each seal, I was sucking up quite a bit of magic power." It's not the worst case scenario. "

"... I wonder what kind of condition it will come out from, Tick-tock Arsonist"

"Well... I guess it's almost twice as powerful as Soleila and the Amber Pond without any magic."

Twice the size of Soleila.... my memories of burning up are still new. I don't want to imagine twice that.

”I see... in order to minimize the damage, it might be a good idea to try to catch Lugulos again”

Crore said that, making her look like "I don't want to imagine".

"I'm sure it was Lugyrus' magic that solved the seal, wasn't it?" Then, by analyzing that magic, we might be able to figure out a little more. It would be in our favor if we could seal off a part of the Kakakashi Fire King and fight. I want to aim for that area..... "

In that case, do you want to go to Agent Territory next?

"Hmm... I'll make a decision after consulting with my dad or Princess Rage." Yeah. Maybe we should go check on the royal castle again... "

For the time being, the future policy will be somehow consolidated.

Next is the final seal. When it's over, it's time for the final showdown.

We need to prepare for that now, so we can get through a little bit of safe passage.

"Nevertheless, what kind of fire is it, Tick-tock Fire King..."

Faye suddenly said such a thing as the policy for the future became firm.

”There's a lot of things like [Demon King] in the story, even more of a dark power.”

Really?... Surely, if you were a demon king with dark powers, you'd be in the woods. Perhaps you're still chirping today.

”That's fire, isn't it... it's definitely burning the woods, so fire is very destructive... right, [Demon King] isn't going to do it”

When I was told that, the demon king who lived in the woods was not a demon king either. What was the Demon King?

"... the flames are more annoying than the poor darkness."

"Ahh, well, that's it..."

Cheng, the forest is burning and it's really annoying. Faye lies down in the meadow while saying what. When I lay down imitating myself, the gringo spirit came over my stomach and started sitting down....... I don't guarantee sleeping comfort, but if it's okay with my stomach, go ahead.

"... nh, damn, I'm getting sleepy..."

"There were a lot of things." What do you say? If you want to take a nap, you can stay for a while. It's hard to leave for Red Gard today. I just need to go back to the inn. "

”Well then, let's see... it feels so good here.”

It seems that Faye decided to take a nap, so I'll start taking a nap as soon as possible. When I tried to sleep, the gringo spirits closed their eyes together.

Yeah. There was a lot going on, so I took a break. It's luxurious to take a nap in the woods, surrounded by cool breezes and gentle woody days.

...... I'm really glad this forest didn't burn.

I woke up in the evening.

We retreated in a hurry. When I said goodbye to the Spirit Lord, I was caught up in remnants and tried to fly and carry me away, so I asked Lao Cres to stop me... we'll go back to our accommodation in eastern Gringal again.

After staying overnight at the inn, I will return to the Red Gard territory next time. You can go back to the forest in the evening and feel safe.

When I got back to the woods, Lian, Angel, and Carnelia greeted me and shared information with Lila. This happened, so I talked about it, and I took a sip of tea that Lila brewed at the end of the day. Hah, calm down.

"After all, my forest is different from the forest elsewhere." The peace of mind that I have returned to myself..... "

"...... Hey, Tsurugo. Can you not tell me how it feels like to be apart from humans?"

Lyla looked at me with some kind of moist eyes, but I don't feel that way right now...

I know you're in the Red Gard forest, but Lila's tea is good. The tea that Lila brews is usually a little tangy, but the rest of the mouth is sweet.... I think it's like Lyla's tea. I like this one.

"Nevertheless, Mr. Crore, you had a lover." Well, you're such a pretty person. Do you have one or two lovers? "

Yeah.

She was already a long-time lover, Mr. Luster.

Well... even if Crore had an unbelievable history of romantic love, it's not surprising at all. Rather, it's attractive... persuasive.

"... hey, hey, turtle"

Yeah?

Thinking like that, Lila strangely corrected her residence and looked at me.

"You, uh... are you called" Fear "?" Have you ever felt it? "

"Um...?"

Do you want me to hear that? I stared back at Lila with a feeling and said, "What's wrong with you?" I was gazed back with open eyes like that. Ugh, Lila's strong.

"... although it seems pathetic."

"... yes..."

I don't want to hide it, but I feel sorry for you, but I still feel a little reluctant to say it because I feel sorry for you... but I'll tell you.

"I don't have that kind of experience, so... I don't know"

"...... well, that's what you're going to do, right?"

Instantly, Lila let out a stunned, nervous look and a dazed voice. Listen, I wonder if the reaction is terrible.

"Wasn't there a girl who liked you?" I think I'm here... but no, I'm talking about you, and even if I were, don't you notice? "

No, I don't think so.... I've been told to flatter you. But that's about it...... "You're so cute in the sky! I know, I know! That's what a beautiful face means! When I saw the side of my face, my eyelashes were long and I was surprised! '...' I think something like that is definitely different. At least it's not like you like me as a man, anyway! That's why they try to dress me up as a girl at the Cultural Festival!

Where's Lila? Is that true?

Hehe!? Me!?

If I get hit, I'll do it again. When I ask Lila in the spirit of, Lila speaks to me with an impatient face.

"Oh, I see... fear... ah!" I'm scared! I'm scared! "

Strangely, I waited for Lila's words to continue. Lila talks again as she reminds herself of something.

"Look, you've been turning the nobleman's house around, me."... then, well... my client suddenly told me that he likes me. "

... wow.

"That was pretty scary, wasn't it?" Well, in that sense, it could have been fear. It was all of a sudden, and even if I told you I had a chance to talk, it was really just a little bit. What do you like about me anyway? "

That's... uh, I'm sure it's scary. Hmm, well, maybe it's not the guy I was expecting, but... well, it's definitely a fear. Yeah. Fear.

What happened after all?

"It didn't matter. After about two days, I finished the request at the house, so it became a problem." I haven't been called to that house since. Even there is no advantage in falling in love with different identities, and parents will be able to stop it. "

I see. Hmm...

Generally speaking, how about confessing your love to someone who's letting the Shadow Warrior play?

"... I think it's quite rude"

"Right!? No, I thought so too!" Ah, no! If I get angry, I won't do it! "

Lila is angry. Well, you're going to be angry.

I can use her talent as a painter to buy and paint, and on top of that, I like it, because the insects are too good for the flowing rocks.... the opponent may have had complicated feelings, though.

"... um, I'd like to ask you something for reference."

"Hey, what is it?"

"Where is your home?"

... I asked, and Lila told me all about it. It was a small noble house on the outskirts of the capital. The place is near Crore's "father's" house.

"Come on, if you ever go nearby, let's do it in the garden of his house."

"Yeah. Okay."

"Ehehe. It's definitely interesting..."

So, you and Lila spend a relaxing time talking about a little mischief.

... Princess Rage is coming to Sola tomorrow. We'll report back on our current progress with Princess Rage, and then we'll go look for the last seal.

So, until then, I'm relaxed. I brought a sketchbook to show Lila the pictures on the trip, and Mr. Crore said he was going to have a nightly drink from Lao Cres' country (the one Mr. Talk gave me before). In any case, Lao Cres also boozed.

So, let's practice drawing a cat-jar while talking to Lila slowly.

... ah.

Speaking of which, Lila said, "Who isn't that kind of fear? 'That's what I missed.

... well, okay.

"Yeah. For now, cat lullabies are a prerequisite..."

"...... Turtles. Isn't that a bit too fluffy?"

Isn't Lila's face a lot tingling?

Look, it's surprisingly hard to be like a cat. "Hmm, I have a drawing to draw..."
