The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

"What is your purpose?

Elma's Caliburnus was first replaced by an ancient sword with numbness medicine on the handle by someone.

Lucas replaced the replacement sword with a razor blade.

The numbness medicine that was applied is not a poison that instantly kills people, but if it is used to confront Hydra, it is a different story.

Even so, from Elma, exhausted by the holy power of this land, paralysis medicine can deprive the body of its freedom and become a fatal cause of defeat.

There was too much preparation to justify "from general considerations to prevent Elma from flying."

Moreover, Irene said that it was the first time she had come to Aurelia, but she was still familiar with the information about the place and the academy.

From time to time, Lucas became suspicious of sneaking after Raul and Gino, who were supposed to be enemy forces.

I wonder if Irene is connected to the students under Cardinal Goode's umbrella, just as Cardinal Torso is connected to Felix.

"------------"

Staring straight from a close range, Irene exhaled her breath as if she thought.

"... Aurelia is a sanctuary."

Then he began to confess with a trembling voice.

"Well, is it a part of fundamentalism? Instead of demons, they insist on keeping others away from the Holy Land."

"Fundamentalism...? Yeah, yeah, well. I'm rooted in biblical fundamentalism, and I think cheap secondary creations die."

"……………………?"

And in the next moment, Lucas was thrown into the crucible of confusion.

"Especially not Liva. Absolutely not. Landmines. As long as the Bible is Raudino, the one who chants Zinolau is a heretic. However, the side cup is fine. Guijino is ok as a wedge, rather as a horse catch. Do you understand?

"You have no idea!

Suddenly, Lukas unexpectedly let go of the hand he was doing to his jaw, shouting at Irene, who sparkled his green eyes and spoke hot.

"What the hell are you talking about!?

"Huh? Your Highness waved, didn't he? It's about the Bible."

Thus, what was taken out of the gap in the sheet was a book that had been read and scraped many times.

The title has almost faded, but you can see the text "rose swordsman ~ I can hear the beast singing ~".

Lucas had a very bad feeling about it.

But Irene breathed out like she was ready, and she started talking all at once.

"I didn't think it was going to be actively distracted from the surroundings, so I haven't talked much so far, but... I'm a rotten girl. It's a rotten girl. Especially a rotten girl who loves to take a cool attack or take a dumb one!

"... I've never heard of the second half."

It was repeated three times.

Around Lucas, who pulled quietly, Irene held her fist and kept talking.

"It was this rose swordsman who opened my eyes and decisively dragged me into this terrible swamp, commonly known as Rose Chemo. This volume was published three years ago. I loaded this book so much that I could read a passage into too striking character settings and realistic worldviews."

Sometimes Irene talks about the excellence of the work, but this is what Irene says.

Rose chemo is a story of boys fighting, growing up and falling in love with each other at Aurelia National Academy.

The main character's name is Raul and Gino.

Both are common names, but attributes such as the title of "ice saint" and "boy from Shitamachi" that occasionally appear in the portrayal, and even realistic settings, it has been a topic of discussion among fans since then whether students enrolled in the college or their associates are writing delusions based on real students.

In fact, Aurelia, who thrived in the Bible printing industry alongside the tourist industry, was able to easily publish small-scale publications individually, so this self-funded publication was abundant throughout the country.

However, the rose chemo was secretly redacted and distributed to some readers in the Kingdom as a result of impressive texts and dramatic developments that made it possible to see the scenery even when the eyes were closed.

Irene, who became an ardent Muslim, read the Bible many times (rose chemo) and eventually had an ambition in his heart.

"Someday... one day, I want to see Raul and Ginotan with my own eyes...!

"Tam, tam, tam."

Especially in the chapter titled "The Chalice", the scene in which Ginotan played the trinitate and spoke of love to Raul with emotion was a famous scene where all rose chemists could not help crying.

If the real Raul and Gino were trinitates, even if they didn't kiss each other, they would share the same stench as the novel - and hug each other in the arena surrounded by spectators.

At the very least, I would say hello with the same costume as in the novel - or in a dress and an Arrow crown.

In other words, everything else can be done with intracerebral complementation.

On the contrary, in this era without illustrations, it was necessary to capture only the two people who were the basis of complementarity with the naked eye.

I want to see it.

I want to see the two people who put the sacred costume and put themselves in the sacred stew...!

"In order to do that, Elma had to avoid dominating all of Trinitate's divisions...."

…………

"I made up my mind. If I knew this determination, Elma might be surprised. You might be surprised. But I still can't give it up. I say we look at the lounge that decides on the trinitate. I want to engrave that famous scene in my eyes. And hopefully, Elma will see it and open her eyes to the beauty of the rose chemos... and drag them down to this rotten swamp...!

……………………

Lucas looked to heaven silently.

No more.

If I dared to express in words the grief of a man who was not blessed by his weak men, it was enough in those four letters.

But, taking care of Lucas, he pressed his painful head into his mouth with a snug, penetrating word.

"You... Are you sure that's why you crafted your sword...?

"Nonsense! It's important!

"And you're stubborn because Elma has become so active? If so, it should be changed. After all, he was disqualified by burns, as we can see, and he didn't become a swordsman... and above all, he is pathetic because he expects ordinary behavior from Elma for his own purposes and gets angry if he doesn't live up to his wishes."

Lucas dared to be clear, knowing that he was expecting some sort of "ordinary behavior from Elma for his own purposes."

"Exploiting his abilities is just as selfish as disregarding and containing his will.... including me."

If you tell her to tell her, Irene will keep quiet.

She was glittering with the sheets for a while, but eventually murmured.

"... I missed you so much."

The honest confession was so subtle that it was likely to dissolve in the dark.

Irene kept leaning away from Lucas, who frowned silently.

"... that kid will always be taunted. I can do anything. I can do it, so don't rely on it. I don't have the idea of relying on it. At Frenzel, it seemed like you had relied on me once, but... after all, that's all. She's always competent... extremely competent, that's why she's indifferent. I miss it."

Irene said it's the first time she's ever had a friendship so close to her partner.

When I first met Elma, I thought she was just a passionate, inhuman girl who lacked emotional ups and downs.

However, as the relationship deepened, the idea changed.

If she takes away her thick glasses and uncontrolled tone, she also finds herself a normal girl who measures her troubles, confusion, and distance from others.

However, I realized that at the same time, I made Irene even more greedy.

If Elma is prepared to make "normal" friendships with others.

Irene wants to be closer to her - her best friend.

"... it was Elma's first time. Girls of the same age who are inmates of different identities and can easily accept biased hobbyists. It's jumpy, gorgeous, but it's falling out in some weird place, and I can't let go of my eyes... it's like a surprise box."

Irene is the baroness.

Even though it was not an extremely high-ranking noble lady, the temptations did not stop in the territory or in the royal palace.

Within that context, the relationship with Elma, who was able to talk about her hobbies equally and without concern for her identity, was just pleasant.

But - reciprocity.

When I thought about it, Irene was rather worried that she was the only one who benefited from Elma.

"She can do anything. There is nothing I can teach as a senpai about the maid's work anymore, and even if she is given these special tasks, she will use all her abilities to cut through them. Solemnly, indifferently. I don't have to put it on my teeth, even if I'm worried about it."

Irene thought it was always her fault.

All of you are overwhelmed by Elma's sloppy abilities, recklessly cooling your liver, worrying, and disturbing your emotions.

I couldn't help but regret Irene.

"I mean... friendship... isn't that what friends are, is it? More like, they think of each other, they depend on each other... shouldn't they? And yet, in reality, all I think about is her, and she teaches me a new world... I... wanted to take advantage of Elma, one thing at a time...!

Irene grasped the fold of the sheet.

"I dragged her into the world of corruption that I'm best at... and I wanted to teach Elma one thing, the unknown world...!

"The unknown direction may be wrong!?

Lucas shouted, but Irene did not contest it, "but," she dropped her shoulders again.

"My selfish thoughts... ended up driving Elma into crisis this time."

That grunt, full of remorse.

Lucas finally figured out why Irene was stuck here.

"... how shocked was it that Elma was swallowed by Hydra?"

"There is no girl in front of me who has a friend swallowed by a beast and is not in shock."

"But...."

Elma would have been safe.

I would have thrown myself out of a cliff and into the sea before.

I came up with an objection, but in the end Lucas swallowed it.

Lucas, who is familiar with fighting and seeing corpses, and Irene, who grew up as a noble lady, understood that the impact around them would naturally be different.

"I...."

At last Irene's eyes began to moisturize.

"It's already a mess.... with Elma... I wanted to get closer, I wanted to be relied on... so I changed my Elma's sword, and with Her Majesty, every time Elma got in trouble, I put on a guzzle pose... but I didn't think that would happen..."

Ah.

"At that time, I suddenly got scared... and for Elma, it didn't even seem like it was a problem at all... after all, I was as worried as usual..."

Ah.

"I'm so angry, I'm so embarrassed... Besides, Gino is even cooler than I expected. I can't miss Raul's support anymore... I can't tell you how I see or think about it...!

"Either it's adorable or it's troublesome!

Lukas cut off Irene, who cried out tears at the end.

Then he quietly sighed and cut out, "I'll tell you something good."

"Elma is now the steepest of Aurelia, probably near the summit of Mount Cermonti."

"... yes?

I don't know what the "good thing" is.

Irene raised her eyebrows.

"What does Elma say she's doing without a day off even though she's skipping tomorrow's game? Climbing?"

"They're going to pick up the rare rock salt that we can pick up near the summit."

"... what?

Why are you here, rock salt?

As Irene looked increasingly suspicious, Lucas lifted one end of her lip.

"Don't you see? Deep-fried chicken is a salty (...) Irene."

…………

Irene opened her eyes and whispered, "No way..."

"Yes, he's worried about you and is acting like you're depressed."

I'm angry, it seems I'm bad, what should I do?

Are you hungry or happy to make something delicious?

I said "salt school," so why don't you prepare a very delicious salt?

--Irene really likes to eat...

- Ugh, shut up. Eating your food can't help but blow up all your thoughts!

The conversation we had the other day came back to life.

Irene lowered her pathetic eyebrows and chewed her lips.

"Until now, he has been devouring a lot of words, but in retrospect, he will only devour the people he trusted and the books he has recommended.... Irene. That's all you have to say is that it weighs on him."

"............"

"Are you the only one who's swinging around? Damn it, he's swinging too. Unbalanced thoughts? Absolutely not, he's broken your heart enough - it's just an act of surprise, not an expression or a word."

Women may be more likely to place emphasis on their faces and words at times than on their actions.

Lucas kept quiet as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Believe me, about Elma. Instead of missing expressions or words, let's look at his tremendous behavior and the honest thoughts behind it.... at least I'm ready to do that."

That's why Lucas, every time Elma plays indifferent, she won't push them hard.

It was truly the depth of the nostalgia and the richness of the experience unique to the man who assembled the highly habitual Knights.

Silence comes to the infirmary, which is completely dim.

Eventually Irene looked up at Lucas and murmured.

"... Your Majesty's inclusiveness..."

With an honest exclamation, Lucas lifts one eyebrow naughtily.

"Are you in love? Unfortunately, I can't give you a colorful answer."

"No, I thought 'receiving inclusion' was also an ant, and the scale fell from my eyes. Thank you for your meal."

"... wait, why do you call me 'received'?

Lucas saw Irene's expression returning to a fresh look as he twitched his face, switching the subject to "nonetheless."

"I don't know if I'm qualified to point it out to you when you replace the sword with a knife, but I think you've done too much to refine the sword. It wasn't a bad thing because it was Elma, but it was normal enough malicious and lethal."

"Crafting... That's right. I'm going to talk to Elma about this and accept any anger or punishment."

"Oh, I don't know how a maid got the medicine for numbness -"

"What about it?"

"... hmm?

However, Irene raised her face in suspicion on the way, so she closed her mouth on the way.

When he heard back, Lucas raised his eyebrows again.

"Do you have any questions?

"Do you call it a question... eh? Paralysis medicine?

"What? You wrapped a cloth coated with medicine around a replacement sword pattern to stop Elma from working."

Huh?

See, and Lucas pointing at the sword of evidence, Irene pointed her cat-like eyes in full circle, pointing to the sword.

"I won't do that horrible thing! I mean, this is not my sword!
