The Queen’s Cosmetician

Based in the entrance hall of the multi-family house, I started using makeup in my spare time, and it was the fifth day.

When my daughter came into the apartment and saw the die that was in the cleaning room today, she shouted loudly.

"Ahh! It's a die!"

Yes!?

Pointed at by a girl with an unfamiliar face, Die let out a frantic voice. On the other hand, my daughter walked unwillingly to the bewildered Yuvéls, and she seemed to be convinced that it was you or me.

Die stares at his daughter while sitting on the chair, and, ah, blinks.

Uhm, we were together in the village a long time ago.

That's right! Oh my God, it's so strange to see you here!

And she laughed, looking a little more mature than she had last seen.

It was the first time I visited Clan Hive.

Die once fell into the Luglova River with Mariage and Alvina and stayed in the countryside beyond. So I helped with the Daishi show. And her daughter was indeed a maiden in her place.

"Lara-san, you were right. It's been a long time."

"No, really. How are you?"

"Yes, is Lara alone?"

"No, there's a lot of them." I came to see if I could get someone from outside to put on some makeup, and I heard that there was someone who could give me something. "

"Okanomochi... no, it's a little different."

The first time, he was certainly thanked by the power stone on the die, but from the second time, he received support from the city. The gift was not a shred of power stone, but a replacement for essentials such as changed clothes, shoes, and bags prepared by the city of Luglova. Die also has other jobs and cannot be resident, so it is on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, if I wanted to receive a request for "help with the die", I had no idea why I waited for the die to come out while doing the work of cooking the bounty and cleaning the residence in the neighborhood.

"The person wearing makeup is a die. I see. I agree."

Lara-san, when are you going to Luglois?

"Hmm, maybe from the front." When I heard that the saintly lady would be coming, I thought it would be a festival, and I thought it would be a money hunter. "

In this world, Daigo is only troublesome when he stops by the village. Then everyone decided to stay in a big city where they could still earn money, and stayed in Luglois, which was the nearest town. Of course, I didn't go into the city, but I lived with the nomads in a tent outside.

"Thank God... you're all right."

"Hmm... yeah. Thanks. Die, too....... Maria, where are the girls?"

"I'm not here." But it's okay. "

I see, Lara laughed with relief.

"Great."

Ah, Seth is here.

"Eh, even though Seisu-san isn't here!?"

Dai instructed Lara to look behind him, looking at the talkative man who walked in with the clerk in the entrance hall.

Die and Ceith's eyes are close together as they fasten their legs.

He frowned at Lara, who smiled at him.

Who is it?

"Wow... it's cold."

"Mr. Sace, it's Lara." A pair of seats we brought together in the village of Esmeralda.... I was a saint maiden. "

"... ahhh!"

It seems that my memory is finally connected. Ceith blinked.

You look fine.

"Onii-san, too." Is Luuna-chan here? "

"No, but I'm fine."

"Maria, are you with the girls?" But I'm glad, if I'm alive.... oh, that's right. Hey, come to the square tomorrow afternoon. We're going to let you play. "

There is a small square with cobblestones painted blue near the multi-family house. It seems that it is now a meeting place for people who have lost their families, but it seems that the sitting chairman has installed permission from the officials to play the play.

"What play are you going to play?"

"Hmm, I was just going to say," Holy Maiden... "but I was told that I couldn't do that." So, I made up a new story using the names of the people who were in the Knights of Our Lady....... a love comedy like the one after the mage who fought so much! Now that we're at peace, I want to rebuild my hometown, and I'm telling you that I've been thinking about going home with you. From there... nfufu, I'm looking forward to seeing you! "

That sounds interesting.

"You're right. Come and see!" Even though Ceisu-san! "

Ceith clutches his hand from Lara and swings up and down. He turned to seek salvation, but disregarded the die.

Lara's eyes shaded.

"The pillar of light is flickering on the moon's night." There's a lot of people around, and they're all gone. I thought we couldn't do it anymore... "

She took a step back from Ceith and Die, and narrowed her eyes to the people who worked behind them.

"For a while, now, I can't move." We all hardened and stood still.... but from a few days ago, someone you know tied their hair cleanly, dressed properly, and started wandering around... I thought it was strange. You guys are just like me, and I thought you said it was all no good anymore. "

Lara talks about it right after Die started putting on makeup.

She laughed.

"So, when I wash my face, I'll be sharp." So, you wore the first-class stage costume you were wearing. Look, if you want to die, it's fine to get dirty. Then, tomorrow, I want to wear these beautiful clothes again, and I feel like I'm in a weird mood, but I'm getting hungry. "

Then, there's noodles. But if you don't move, you won't get it. I was told I could help if I wanted to eat a lot. Just now, an official brought me a bunch of small jobs for day labourers. I was going to do it, so I listened to the people who put on makeup, and I decided not to do it.

Lara smiles at Die as she talks to her mouth.

"If I clean it once, I want to be clean again tomorrow." If you think you can do such a thing with cosmetics, then all we have is a play about what we can do. You might say you don't need a play at a time like this, but... "

People who are impatient and can't do anything are spectators if they sit on the square. You're welcome. Just sit back and watch the tale.

”I'll show you a happy future like this, you can't see in the dark anymore.”

"... that's right."

Dai smiled back at Lara.

Speaking of which, are those dudes officials?

"Hmm. Well, that's right."

I see. If you knew each other, would you please thank the officials who let us in and the officials who gave us blankets and noodles?

I don't mind, but why?

After all, I feel like I'm going to move fast right now, because the officials gave us time.

Otherwise, you'd be dead in the wild, ”Lara said.

Die nodded as he thought of Ineka and Juno, who had a hardened face and a troubled face.

I'll let you know.

"Come on, Mayor." What a splendid defense of the city. The other city was a bit of a mess, too....... even though Seth-san, please thank Runa as well. "

"... for what?"

Seth suddenly turned around and looked back at Lara.

Lara laughed and explained.

"Look, do you remember? The village was attacked by bandits. Now I'm hurt too." When we were together, Luuna was in the play! That's why you did the play. "

Certainly such a thing happened.

Through this play, I learned about the side effects of [Painting], [Magic Seal], and Alvina's curse.

"It happened at that time, so when we can do something again, it's a play!" That's what happened. So, take it for granted. That's because Runa really liked the play that time. "

Bye, then. She waved her hand and turned her heel.

Seth stared at her dumbfounded back as she just said what she wanted to say and disappeared.

The die that dropped off Lara resumed cleaning up.

In the entrance hall, men and women who had somehow come to purify their bodies and began to help with the work were busy coming and going, and the steam of boiling water was warming the space. A bearded resident pulls the hand of a fake-eyed man who seems to have been brought from a neighborhood, and a woman in a coarse clothes combs the head of a freshly washed child.

With the sound of life and their whispering about tomorrow in the background, as they cleaned up their tools, Ceis, who seemed to have finished his work in the house, came under the die again.

"--Runa loves... plays."

Without further ado, he said:

"Before becoming a queen. It was around the time we met. It's always fun and lively to come to the village during the festival. But when they burned down the village... nothing like this saves people."

― ― Fortuna was negative that the makeup artist's die was [National Badge Holder].

What did she see and come to the opinion?

That's not true.

He puts his hips on the corner of the table and looks at the distance, he says.

"It's rude to just live." Dressed as we please, dressed as we please, eating our dream stories, and being asked for someone, we know. You're a man who can stand up and walk. It's like when I first met Runa, it wasn't a tool anymore. "

Seth glances at the die.

He seemed to be smiling slightly.

"The queen who deposited the national seal with you is not mistaken." I think so. Runa might be mad at you, though. "

"There are people I know all over the place."

Back at the City Hall, Randy points out to Die.

The die twisted its neck.

Huh, is that so?

That's right.

Randy agrees with Brenda.

"I am not attached to the die for a long time, so I am surprised by the breadth of my network. Even here, I'll be seeing someone soon...."

"Knights and civil servants don't get along with each other." Die usually gets along well with people from other countries. "

Because there is no fence, right?

And this time, Yuvette sandwiched her mouth.

"The knight's unity of affiliation takes precedence, and the civil servant is also strongly aware of the department, but the die is not the same as the woman..."

"Well, you're a makeup artist..."

It is a single craftsman, so there is no binding or anything. There was nothing in the die that was obligatory, such that the craftsmen of the workmanship were concerned about the spillage of processing technology. The disciple, oddly enough, always tells the lady under him how to make up. Even the children of the nobles and the maidservants who serve them are dripping with the die's methods.

I repeat, the die is a sharp substitute. Therefore, it may not be rejected from everywhere because it is underestimated, and it is the secret of survival to become friendly with the people involved as weak people.

"I can only do makeup, so I can only ask for your help by lowering my head everywhere anyway..."

"The only thing I can do is makeup, Die says, but come on." But you say that the job is a wide range. Because I'm doing my job properly in my own area. "

"... what's the matter, Randy?" No, I'm going to praise you. Have you done something dark behind the scenes? "

No!

And it was vigorously denied, but strangely suspicious.

I don't know what you're thinking, but Yubert has a strange look on his face.

Brenda is summoned by her colleagues to go to the door of the room, and Yayoi resigns from the room once for the tea.

"--Um..."

When he opened the cosmetic bag for the inspection of the tools used by the die, Randy, who was holding it by the wall, opened his mouth hesitantly to win.

After all, is there anything you want to say?

Die waited lightly for Randy's words to continue. But he was just wandering his gaze. I seemed to be having trouble finding words to follow.

Yubert, standing next to Randy, sighed and begged the die.

"Die, can I stop by for a moment?"

"... here you go?"

Waiting for Die's permission, Yubert touched Randy's side with his elbow.

Determining the realm where the die's body was not as vigilant as it could be, the two close-knit men placed their swords beside them and knelt down on the spot.

― ― Worshiping superiors in accordance with formal practices.

Suddenly, what happened?

Ah, um...?

"--I have something to apologize to you for."

Randy tells us in a strange language.

What do you mean?

"I could not protect you in Tartarza."

Unexpectedly, the die suddenly burst. Confused, he denies his words.

"No, apologizing... I mean, you two weren't in Tartarza with me at the time."

Not long before the Tartarza chaos engulfed the die, the die was cut off from the Randys. The Teddy Brothers suspected the Perfilia Intel on the die, and replaced Randy with another knight who could be more vigilant on the die.

“Sure, you're right.”

But then, Yubert defends himself against the die.

"When we were ordered to rearrange, we were suspicious, but we didn't resist. As a makeup artist, you may say that at that time we had a little bit of a difficult position called" holding the National Seal ".... after your Majesty was placed under house arrest because he was not worthy of the throne, we looked back at you for the first time and realized that we were too dishonest."

Fusejitsu

"For the job of being a knight."

“They were knights protecting the die. The Die has been doing his best to support the Emperor in his efforts to protect the country, so we were the ones who saw it - and if they took what they were protecting, they should have been angry. And yet, we didn't want to see ourselves defending the die so well, so we threw the job away."

"Randy, I'm dying in Tartarza because I did it on my own."

"But Yuma is dead."

Randy pointed out that the die clogged the back of his throat.

Yubert said quietly.

"Yuma was angry with us. That's how we don't take sides with the die, so the die will always look down on itself.... I have to get away from you.... as a result, she stood up and protected you. She was a better knight than us."

I was wondering.

With the exception of her master, Mariage, and her most important defender, Alvina, the people close to the die were almost separated, but only Yuma was with them.

Randy looked up at the die and said it in a shivering voice.

"I'm sorry, Dai, I couldn't protect you and Yuma."

"Now," he said, "it may be annoying for you. But let me apologize."

For the die, there was nothing to forgive.

But as a first step, it must have been a necessary confession for both of them.

"Let me apologize too."

Die said to them, lying face down again.

"At that time, I didn't understand the behavior of the side to be protected. I think I've caused a lot of trouble. And thank you. Protect Mary, who was with me when I was not present. ― ― Please follow me to this Luglois.

The die pushed one knee in front of the other. Take their hands and grab them slowly, being careful not to tremble.

"Also, can you protect me?"...... I'll be on my way from now on. "

Of course.

"I swear to you."

Die smiled and pulled their hand to get up.

Randy suddenly noticed the die she let go of and bowed her head.

"Dai, where are you going... are you going to stop somewhere before you go home?"

That sounds pretty stupid, doesn't it?

Die laughs at him, actually, and opens his mouth.

“Excuse me while I talk to you.”

And Brenda came back in a hurry.

"Um, Dai, I got a message from the city hall." He wants you to come over here as soon as possible. Everything... the refugees from Perfilia have arrived. "

- Yeah.

(Coming)

And Die thought.

As soon as I go, I answer Brenda and meditate in the midst of the people who move to prepare for the move.

The die has been waiting for a long time.

Know when to move.

Signal from the world.

Before leaving for Luglois.

It's about that blue flowering hill.

"In the meantime, we have set up a system to collaborate with the workshop owners who were the lords of the castle, mainly Asma." The contact in the castle is Alma. The Chamber of Commerce has heard from Bruno. Other territories will come through Reno as well. And then...... "Mariage-sama, are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening." So I heard about the castle. About twice. "

I wondered if repeating it would make it easier for me to remember.

"I'm already in a good mood and hit by the wind, so please stop talking like that." I'm hungry. "

Mariage moaned with a gruff face. Without a choice, Dai squeezed his mouth and followed her through the flower garden.

After a while, Mariage stops unexpectedly.

--I wonder if I should give you my order again.

Mariage turned to the die and told her.

"Die, I told you about the castle." I'll give you two orders. "

Yes.

"One, if Reina or someone else becomes a saint, negotiate with the new saint or the church to stop the invasion of Perfilia immediately, and let the kingdom have the right lord, and explore the possibilities."

The mission to the city of Luglova is to stop the emergence of new powers. But the other thing is, the die is deadly.

We must lead the new saints into power that will benefit us and seek to contain the chaos in our neighborhood.

And.

"Two, as soon as you finish your work in the city of Luglova, you take any personnel from the envoy and go straight to Perfilia, informing the Queen and the Prime Minister of the country that you are being charged with fraudulent designation as an official envoy from the Continental Congress.... convince them to respond to our summons."

This included secretly transporting the Yerni brothers outside Perfilia.

In preparation for this, Mariage has already sent D'Artagnan under them.

Got it.

"Die"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"... it's about time. I want to beat that man up."

The master of the die laughed and said.

"Awww, that idiot who doesn't seem to be going outside, you can pull and slap him instead and bring him in."
