The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"I'm going to see my uncle."

... when Mr. Rugulos told me that, I was extremely surprised.

Whatever you say... look, Mr. Rugulos is the next head of the Argent family, while Mr. Argent in the dungeon of the Royal Castle is treated as a major criminal who plotted to resurrect the arson king... well, I think that each other is in an awkward position.

It's surprising that Mr. Rugulos is going to visit you there, and "going out" there is... what kind of wind is it!

"... don't look like that."

"I'm sorry, I'm so surprised... I thought Mr. Rugulos was here to complain to Faye about the handkerchief."

"What are you talking about!?"

"Oh, I'm surprised..." It was unexpected, their behavior was unexpected... and I was really surprised.

Rugulos-san is also [Hanko Pusher...!? "It seems that I am surprised, but I think that there is a proposal from Faye inside, so I would like to thank you at that time.

So, what's the blowout like?

Now, I invited Mr. Luigulos to my house, and while making tea there, I decided to listen to him again.

"Um... I'm going to plead for a commutation of my uncle's sentence."

Huh?

And even before I started drinking tea, I was surprised.

... begging for a commutation. Mr. Rugulos!?

”... not for the kind reasons you think it is”

Oh, yeah, yeah, did I look like I was thinking about that? Well, uh... I won't deny it.

"Whoever was the patriarch of the Argent family was publicly executed." It would be bad news. "

"Ah, yeah..."

... could you be publicly executed? I thought that Mr. Agent was going to spend the rest of his life in the dungeon of the Imperial Castle, or he could just gently get out of the dungeon when it was almost cold...

"... did you hear anything from Princess Rage?"

"Yeah. I haven't seen Princess Rage lately."

When I said that, Mr. Rugulos sighed...... and said.

“My uncle's punishment is not decided because the king is hesitant to sign the death penalty papers.”

"Ah, that's right..."

... I see. Well, it may be a reasonable punishment for someone who tried to destroy the world. Death penalty, huh?

"That's why there is still room for plea-bargaining within the present." Even if the execution is unavoidable, it is highly likely that public executions will be avoided... that would tarnish the honor of the Argents. "

Mr. Rugulos sighed and sipped his tea as he said it with a reluctant expression on his face. It's a very dull face, but it's still elegant to drink tea, so it's amazing, this guy...

By the way, that role belongs to Mr. Rugulos.

Just now, Mr. Rugulos was struggling to become the next lord of the argent. When I asked, Mr. Rugulos nodded with a sinister face.

"Yeah, I'm totally in the middle of a family fight." It seemed that she wanted the incompetence of the main house to come out instead of me... but she pushed it through because she had the closest relationship with the royal family, and it was probably me who had a good memory from the royal family. It's not like the public execution of my uncle started before the inner circle was settled. "

Well, I guess so. Well, that king doesn't seem like he could sign a death sentence, so I don't have to be in too much of a hurry to figure it out...

"... and perhaps the plea for commutation will be accepted in exchange for the condition that the next Agent Lord be Lugyros Zeil Agent." I guess that's where we dropped each other. "

It's a process.

Princess Rage and Prince Aureus want Mr. Lugyrus to be Lord of the Argents. The point is that it would be easier to have someone at the top who can talk to you.

Besides, look, Mr. Rugulos, it's already becoming a lot more forest-like. In other words, the argument must be that he is a favorable person to Soleila, that he is not a bad match for the Noble League, and that he would avoid the split between the King, the Noble League, and the Argents.

“Oh my God, now I'm too sunny and disabled.”

Ms. Rugulos sighed again and drank tea while saying so...

...... as I look at that face, I'm going to ask you a few questions about the last thing I care about.

"Um... I know that, but why me?"

I understand that Mr. Ruggieros is going to plead for a commutation of Mr. Agent's sentence. But I don't know why I'm hanging out with him.

I wonder why, staring at Mr. Rugulos with such a sentiment, Mr. Rugulos looked back at me with an indescribable face and opened his mouth a little heavily.

"... if you were in the pleading room, it would be hard to say hanging, beheading, exposing your head, etc. It is likely that my uncle's disposition will be more convenient."

"... what does that mean?"

For once. Asked for confirmation... Mr. Rugulos said with a strange look on his face.

“Fluffy people can come in handy at times like this.”

... you know! You can stop hanging out with Mr. Rugulos!

In the end, I decided to go out with Mr. Rugulos. [M] I feel like I've been made a fool out of fluff, but I don't think it's grown up to be mocked... "

And most importantly, when I said, "Okay, I'll go out with you," Mr. Rugulos, you looked a little relieved. Well, I think it's okay to hang out with someone who looks like that.

So, the day of departure. We assembled at my house. [M]

Although it is a part of the city.

"... you know, Faye-sama knows." You mean the most mobile person in the Red Gard family, the heart of the aristocratic union? "

"Oh! That's why I'm coming with you!"

Faye laughed gently and turned her arms around Mr. Lugulos' shoulder. Mr. Rugulos looked a little disgusted, but he didn't shake it off.

"I can see that, too." It's fluffy, and it's Agent's biggest victim. "

"Sheng Jing. Speaking of which, I was the victim..."

When I was told to remember, Mr. Luigulos looked a little awkward and Faye said, "Did you forget!?" 'I was surprised. "Well, yeah..."

"... but I don't know what it means to accompany me!"

"And even though Lila insists on it..."

"No, Lyla has to be here." Because Mr. Rugulos is Lila's summoning beast. "

"That's right." Since Lyra's Summon Monster is Lygurus, if Lygurus is going to the Imperial Castle, Lyra should be there as well. "

Well, that's what happened. Rugulos was Lila's Summon Monster.

... but for the time being, I'm worried.

"... no, um, actually, how's it going?" As for Mr. Rugulos,

"Alternatively, you can act away from the main contractor. I would have done it before.

Mr. Rugulos replied with a dazed expression. Oh, I see. Mr. Rugulos, you're leaving Soleila and heading back and forth between the Argent Territories and the capital of the kingdom. "I see..."

"... but..."

... yes.

"If there's a contractor next to me, I'd rather... be in good shape..."

... I see. You're doing well.

I can't help it!

Well then, let's go with Lila.

Ahhhh! I wonder why I really made Mr. Rugulos a summoning beast!

Lila's got a headache, but I think that's a good thing about you.

"No, but I wonder if I'm going to do something about Lugulos from now on... because Lugulos is Lila's summoning beast, there might be something like that that doesn't happen again..."

That's right. Given Mr. Rugulos' safety and stability, I wonder if it would be reasonable for Lila to remain Mr. Rugulos' main contractor in the future...

"It's okay, Lila." Even the birds and dragons miss Lyra, and there's not a single Mr. Rugulos in there. "

"In the first place, birds and dragons and so on, my baggage is heavy...!"

Lila lamented, but, well... maybe it was because of Rugulos that she was in the woods. Even Mr. Rugulos didn't seem to care that much.

It's not a bad thing, is it?

So the four of us, me, Faye, Lila and Mr. Lugulos, set out.

I'm riding the Red Dragon with Faye. I heard that Mr. Rugulos had become a new summoning beast, riding on the wind spirits in the shape of a big bird. And Lila is a bird.

"... do the birds like to fly with Lyla on board?"

"Ah, isn't that it?" Look, when there was a trial. Didn't you just fly out of God's window and grab Lila? I think I like it because it reminds me of it. Or maybe you like Lila. Look, after I took you back to the forest, there was a problem. "

... when Faye and I looked at the bird, the bird noticed us or not, and put Lila on it (No, let me bury her...?) Flying through the sky, Kyoko chirped cheerfully. "Well, that's what you are..."

The slowest of these is Mr. Rugulos' Wind Essence. So I flew a little slowly (but still fast enough) to meet it and arrived at the capital in the evening.

"Okay. Then I'll take him to his place, right?" Let's go! "

When you arrive in the capital, go to the inn as soon as possible. As usual... that is, a magical place with four rooms in one room. We'll get a room over there, and we'll unpack. For now, I plan to stay here for two nights. It may be longer, but, well, that's when it happens.

Then we'll just relax in the room... and then we'll go out for dinner.

It's Fay's favorite shop, but something like a little spicy yakitori has come out. It was exotic and delicious, with plenty of spices combined with the fragrantly roasted meat.

In addition to the yakitori go-go, we also eat grilled vegetables, mashed cheese, and well-boiled soup, and we are completely full. When our stomachs were full, we became sleepy, so we had to pull ourselves up to the inn early, full of happiness.

It's time to go back to the inn, take a bath, and go to bed.

"...... Mr. Rugulos?"

Ms. Rugulos, who was dazzled by the window, called out to her. I thought it was unusual for him.... look, Mr. Rugulos, I went to bed early at the overnight party at the teacher's house, so I was the most helpful sleeper...

"What's the matter? Thinking?"

When I called, Mr. Rugulos looked a little disgusted. The point is, I guess I didn't like being seen blurry.

If it's okay with me, I'll talk to you.

Mr. Rugulos brings a chair next to him to sit down before he says anything. After that, it seems that Mr. Rugulos will no longer be able to get rid of me. I said something and stopped, and I shut my mouth as if I had started thinking about something.

"Whoa. What are you two doing, Tougo and Lugulos? Mix it up."

And there came Faye. I didn't have a chair that I could move close enough, so I was standing next to Mr. Rugulos.

"Hey, why are you all in such a cold place?" Why don't you come over here because you've brewed some tea? "

... and as Lila guided us towards the sofa by the fireplace, the three of us gathered around. Mr. Rugulos had a complicated face, but I think it would be better to sit on the sofa in front of a warm fireplace, hardened, than to be alone by a cooling window.

"And when I came to the forest, I think this is what Mr. Rugulos was destined to become..."
