The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge
261 Friends
Tourism in Wang Du?
Quina is from a small village, and I guess a big city like here is rare.
... but why invite me?
I wish I could invite you to Toka or Melo, rather than him being so unfathomable and not funny with me.
"Or maybe you've been busy, sss?
"No, not at all..."
As for Grandpa Kenny, since Mr. Gillius returned.
I can't go looking for a crater anywhere right now, and they haven't asked me to help exorcise the demons, so I have nothing to do.
I'm sure I don't feel like playing with it.
"Then I'd love to have you with me, sss!
I rode out and got my hands glued.
Hey, some quina of the day, don't be gooey......
"Am I okay? I can't talk funny, and I'm not that familiar with the king's capital?
"I like Mr. Killier!
I can illuminate a little when they say that much...
And I'm a little worried that Beato might be jealous.
For confirmation, I glanced at that kid with chills,
"... eh"
I was looking at you as I nicked.
Any jealousy or whatever, it feels like I'm purely rooting for you.
Speaking of which, you and I were having tea until I got back.
Maybe he was talking about something at that time.
Well, anyway......
"... well, let's do it"
If they say so far, you can't say no anymore, can you?
Quina talked to me about wanting to get to know Killier better.
Of course it doesn't mean weird, it means we want to be friends, right?
If not, I won't forgive you!
Mr. Killier has always kept someone away.
I also feel like I'm building a wall for some of my long-time friends, Stra and Mello.
I don't think I'm forgiving anyone but me if I'm not a jerk.
I'd be happy to have friends with Killier like that, and of course Killier is happy to decide, isn't he?
So I tried to push it back.
If you go out with us, you'll be friends!
"Beato, are you all right?
"... eh"
... I knew we didn't like it a bit when it was just the two of us, so I followed.
Anyway, Mr. Quina, your goal is to be friends, good luck!
Beato followed me, too.
I wonder if you're really okay.
You look good today, but maybe you should see a doctor properly for once.
There's a good man in the castle for Belle, who's still unconscious.
Well, anyway, me guiding the king's capital to Quina while paying attention to Beato.
The location is the southernmost part of the King's capital.
"This is how big shops, inns and theaters line up around here. Mostly tourists and rich people. I don't think a lot of people live in Wangdu come this way."
"You're gorgeous. Exactly the metropolis!
It's also the main street that leads to the castle gate.
The army passes through here during the triumph, and the road is wide and the building is beautiful.
After the battle with the Tartus army, I paraded here too......
"All of it, it's not all this place. I don't have a sloppy toko."
In the Burtoghu era, manpower was driven out by war.
Since the replacement of Queen Perne, we have improved our system and strengthened our outlook, and there is no place in the King's Capital that looks like a laid-back nest, is there?
Those guys are screwing around the woods outside the basin or something.
Like Liquino, the assassin I killed one day.
"Oh, the theater, that building sss!
Quina pointed to a very large and splendid building.
How dare the troupe perform here?
And, Quina, your eyes in the back of your glasses are glittering.
"Maybe you're interested in theatre?
"I don't know what to say, you feel like a city, suss! Besides, I admire watching plays with my friends--"
"Friends?"
"Ah......, Kohon. And anyway, let's go in. Look, it looks like today's gig is coming up, sss."
I feel like something has been deceived.
Friends, huh?
If you really think so, would you be happy...
Well, anyway, if I don't want to see it, that's not true.
"... how's Beato?
"... Huh!
I think Beato wants to see it too.
He's got a cocky nod and, for some reason, his eyes are sparkling.
"... yeah. I'll see if I can get a seat."
There's no particular reason to say no.
I'm sitting in the middle of a play, so Beato won't be tired.
I bought an admission ticket and the three of us went inside a stylish theater.
What was being performed was a love story between a princess and a civilian who came to an identity.
I'm talking about taking on the final favor of a dead knight in front of me during the war, and protecting the princess instead of being just like me.
I somehow remembered Belle and Elia.
Those two are the opposite of princess and knight positions, though.
Speaking of which, Elia, I wonder what you're doing these days.
The play is finally like a climax.
Though he nearly lost sight of himself, every civilian tried to play the knight until the end of the war.
And last, the knight finally takes off his false mask.
"I don't lie to myself anymore! Keep your chest up and shout out my true name! And princess, poetry your love for you in front of all the people!
A knight who exposes his true self and conveys his thoughts to the princess.
With the princess answering that love, the curtain of the stage closes.
The play's over, curtain call time.
As the actors lined up on the stage, beside me, Beato was weeping with emotion.
Love story now, how bumpy was it?
He's holding my hand tight.
"... how was Quina?
……
"Quina......?
I wonder if I didn't hear you because you whispered.
If I call again, I turn this way with a hazy face.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Hit the finish…"
"Quina was also interesting on the stage right now. Whatever Beato is, maybe a little surprised he liked romantic stuff until Quina"
"Oh, I didn't. Of course, Soko was good, but... I stacked Givens on some knight."
That knight has a quina?
Did you have something in common or something?
"... I don't know Givens very often these days. What matters is Given now, even if he thinks so strongly, sometimes he's anxious, anxious, and he's about to cry..."
……
"... Mr. Killier, if Givens isn't really Quina, then..., will you stay friends?
... To be honest, I wasn't sure what the question meant.
But because I was amazingly serious.
I answered seriously, too.
"It's obvious. We're friends."
"--Thank you, Killier"
The smile of Quina I showed then was the brightest I've ever seen.
I was so glad I didn't run away from the lightness that I really felt that way.
