Six months after being summoned.
"Sai, I'm here, but it's a little difficult. You want to tell me?
"Um, this is..."
I met Elizabeth in the library. Liz and I started discussing the book.
Even though I say we discuss it, I feel like I should see you when I have business in the library at work, so I'm not talking about it for that long.
The content is also the content of a book written in a foreign language or ancient language, to the extent that Liz asks me what I don't understand.
Liz seems to be studying those words, but I guess it feels like I'm answering the hard part together.
At first they even asked me about grammar and stuff, but unfortunately I have no idea what that is.
Just the content.
"I see. That's what you said. Thank you."
"No."
"I'm sorry to interrupt your work all the time."
"Oh, never mind, 'cause you're taking a good breath"
Are you talking to your noble lady in a much shattered tone?
At first, he spoke with due respect.
But Liz told me on the way.
Elizabeth told me how to call you, and I asked Liz to use the same tone.
If a beautiful lady begs you, you can't say no.
"By the way, I'd like to ask you something..."
"Hmm? What?
Liz asks unusually hard to say.
It is unusual for her to cloud her verbal butt like this.
I wonder what it is?
It doesn't seem like the book's content, but it's probably the first time they've asked me anything other than about the book.
"Sei knows the Knights of Hawk, apparently?
"Captain Hawk Knights?
About the chief of the Third Knights comes to mind when they say chief of the Knights, but was that guy named Hawk?
I always call him the captain of the regiment, so his name is vague.
The director also calls me Al, so I don't know his last name...
"I knew you didn't know that."
"Did Hawk Knights Commander mean Third Knights Commander?
"Oh, did you know him?
"If you're the leader of the Third Knights, I know you because you're close to our director."
He was the leader of the Third Knights and it seemed to fit.
But what's wrong with him?
"Um... may I ask you something unpleasant?
"What?"
"Isn't Sai friendly with Master Hawk?
"Hmm, I don't think it's bad"
Are you close?
I don't think it's too bad.
If we meet when we get home from the library, they'll drive us to the lab every time.
A horse for two.
Arr, I'm so embarrassed, I tried to say no from the second time, but then you looked so sad, you couldn't say no.
"What's wrong with Master Hawk?
"It's very hard to hear, but lately there have been rumors that Hawk is riding horses with a lot of women."
Liz seems to distort her beautiful face by saying, "I'm in trouble."
Sorry, that definitely makes me feel.
I was straight back to the institute in the beginning, but I must have been witnessed at that time because I had recently traveled a little farther back on a tour of the royal palace.
"Maybe that's me"
"Really!?
"Yeah."
To be honest, Liz looked relieved, turning from her troubled face.
Is that it?
"After all, isn't riding two people on a heterosexual and a horse very impressive?
"Right. It's not a good idea to have a fiancé or spouse ride with someone of the opposite sex."
"No problem if you don't have a fiancé for both of them?
"I can't say it's no problem, but it's harder to be a problem than if you had a fiancée"
"That doesn't mean it has to be..."
He took care of me and said it away, but by this world standard, it doesn't seem to change anything.
I knew I'd say no next time.
When I looked sluggish, Liz followed me in like I was in trouble.
"But I don't think it would be a problem if Master Hawk were to invite you. I'm sure he'll be able to speak properly."
"Something like that?
"Yep..."
Something tells me that looking at Liz with the same troubled face doesn't seem very problematic...
Well, okay.
If you say no.
"So, what's wrong with that rumor?
"Huh?"
"No, he looked relieved, so I was wondering what the hell it was"
"It's..."
Oh, they made me look in trouble again.
Shouldn't we have gone too far?
If it's hard to say, you don't have to say it, and Liz sighed thinly and opened her heavy mouth.
"I thought it was my classmate who was rumored to be Master Hawk."
"Classmate? That person, you have a fiancée?
When you say Liz's classmate, you're probably about fifteen, right?
Because I'm sure the school was supposed to be the top fifteen year old.
Uh, fifteen and the captain..., he smells like crime.
Is there a difference in these years in this world?
"No, I'm not even with her."
"Um, so, you have a problem with the difference in years or something?
"That's also, well, it's not uncommon, but it's not gonna be a problem."
The difference in years is ok after all......
So, what's the problem?
"I had a little problem with that one."
"Problem?"
"I've been close to my fiancées at school, and I'm having a bit of a problem right now."
"It is."
"So the school talked about whether the people who heard Hawk's rumors even got their hands on that ice knight..."
"The Ice Knight?
"Oh, it's about Master Hawk. That's what they call you because you don't get a lot of facial expressions out there."
No expression?
I only have the image of you laughing all the time......
"But that classmate? If she doesn't have a fiancée too, wouldn't it be okay to ride with Master Hawk?
"It is. Hawk is also a popular person, so they say that he has increased his surroundings again and so on."
"That means all the people she's close to at school are popular."
"That's right."
Liz puts her hand on one cheek and sighs softly is worried.
In short, a classmate serving a popular boy in school was mistaken for even getting his hands on the leader of the regiment, who seems to be popular in the alley, and he says he's nasty around.
But that's just what she's been told, and I don't think it has anything to do with Liz, why does she seem so depressed?
"That sounds pretty depressing. Listen, it's that classmate's problem, and Liz doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, is there something wrong?
"Right. My fiancées around her told me to do something about it."
"Well, why don't your fiancées say it, not Liz?
"That's what I've already paid attention to, but it never improves."
"Well, then, isn't it impossible for Liz to say extra?
"Yep... I'm sorry, I was foolish. I'm glad you forgot."
"As long as you listen to stupidity. Besides, when I go out there, I'll forget about it."
"Thanks"
I smile back, too, to Liz, who smiles worryingly.
Kiri was good, so I finished the conversation, broke up with Liz, and went back to the lab.
I didn't see the captain today because I was willing to say no.
