"Mikhail, you really... you have a great insight.Even older adults are unlikely to be able to handle things like Mikhail.I was impressed when I was born with different qualities. "

Sandalwood is more aromatic than futaba.It must have felt different since I was a little girl.

But Mikhail laughed at Ekaterina's words.

"That's what I want to do, but that's not true.Alexei remembers a lot, but when I was a kid, I was a very brazen and nasty kid. "

"No, that's not true."

When it comes to the prince, please be modest.

I can't imagine that.

But Mikhail says with his eyes down.

"It's true. It's really embarrassing to remember now, but back then, I thought I was the greatest in the world.Oh, except for His Majesty the Emperor and Father and Mother... well, anyway, I grew up pretty slightly. "

Hearing that, Ekaterina unexpectedly opened her eyes.

Well... if you ask me, it's more natural.

He was one of the Crown Prince's sons at the time and eventually succeeded to the throne of the Emperor.It's the only thing I have left, a child, a bad way to say it, but no brother to be a spare.It is possible that the surroundings were cherished as if they were cotton and could not be scolded.

I mean, at sixteen, it's great to be a complete fucking kid graduate.I'm still a kid, so it's not strange at all, even though I'm still a little distracted.

"Even when kids my age came as alumni, it was selfish and all-you-can-eat.Everyone understands who they are as children and just listens to me. [M]He didn't try to beat me in studies, martial arts, or play. "

"That's right... I don't think there's any other way."

Alumni, when tutors started studying?If you're a nobleman, you're usually about five years old.So this is when the prince was about five or six years old.Speaking of the previous life, do you want to go to elementary school or not...

At that time, you would be selfish even if you weren't the Crown Prince.

"But Alexei was the only one who was different."

Well!

Ekaterina brightens her eyes by playing Bracon, and Mikhail laughs bitterly.

"Alexei is completely unforgiving.He was two years older, and his studies and martial arts were as if he couldn't stand his teeth.I remember crying with regret because I never lost. [M]In the midst of other children and apprentices, Alexei has looked at me coolly - the first sermon. "

That's oniisama...

Speaking of which, oniisama said it was very difficult to preach.Sure, I was preached only once, but the inside of it was the urge of Alassa to nod me.

Is that how the Crown Prince was experiencing it?

Crown Prince, when I was third in the school exam, it was a very adult response, but that's when it happened.What if that's what it is now?

Your 10-year-old oniisama, who I saw in the portrait of your grandfather and Two-Shot, was so cute.It was a little while ago, when I became a schoolmate of the Crown Prince.A five- or six-year-old prince younger than that... fufu.I think you were very cute.

The person who was crying may not mean it, but the whole picture is absolutely cute!

"Did Mikhail hate your brother back then?

When Ekaterina asked, Mikhail smiled.

"Sometimes, or not.Ever since then, Alexei has had a unique charm.It feels lonely. I didn't want to see my face, I wanted to be recognized, I got excited... but I definitely thought it was more special than other alumni.I think I wanted to be a friend.

But Alexei, I'm the future master, and I don't want to ruin my attitude. "

Without further ado, Mikhail sighed small.

I'm sorry. Oniisama is such a person... because it's an ancestral tundelier, there's only one tunnel except for a specific target.I guess that's been the case since I was such a little girl.

"But one day, Vladimir, who was lost and crying, pulled back and showed up.Alexei was very kind to Vladimir. "

Oh, oh, oh.

The subject of the original tundelion appeared!

Oniisama is the type of person you want to protect.I know that the prince is not the subject of a della.Besides, if the future master deletes you, a nasty subordinate will explode.I'm scared of seeing your master's filtering gear.

"Because it's treated completely differently from me, I've been a bit overwhelmed."Even though I'm a prince, it's so awful!"

What a cute thing!

Even though I'm a prince, I want to see a little prince!

Ekaterina smiled and covered her mouth with both hands.

"Vladimir is also very good, and I can't win at all in my studies.Instead of me, adults were also masters of faceless knowledge.But he was shy, but kind, and he came between me and Alexei and took it.So I finally got along. "

"That's right...."

If I had gotten along with those two, the prince would have been pretty good since then.The other kids didn't try to win, but they probably couldn't win.

I'm looking forward to the future, scary kids.It seems that the two majesty were looking at the three with their eyes closed.

"... but suddenly Lord Sergei died."

Mikhail's tone has changed and Ekaterina is relieved.

"Alexei and Vladimir stopped coming to see me.Alexei spent a lot of time in the Territory after Lord Sergei's funeral, and Vladimir had a major illness, so I had no choice.But I haven't seen you in a long time, and each one had a dark face.Especially Vladimir, people have changed since then. "

Mikhail smiles sadly.

... oniisama can't help it.Because Baba was a cow-earning house, young and in isolation as a lord's surrogate.

But - I thought so.Vladimir, did you know what Euremagna was doing in his house?The criminal act of sending people in to embezzle large amounts of money and leaving the money to themselves.

At that time, he was still nine years old.... you don't know that, do you?But then, why has he changed...?

Once Ekaterina wiped out her thoughts, she gently smiled at Mikhail.

"That must have been something you missed."

"That's right.... but I may have grown up a little at that time.My father told me that we were destined to be alone. "

We - we, the emperor's successor.

Her chest hurts and Ekaterina falls down.

The Emperor's solitude.

I can't imagine.

If you become friends with someone, your friendship will give them privileges and privileges.Even if a friend doesn't want that, people who want to connect with you will rot their friends by offering you a favor in return.In a sense, it's like poison.

And you may punish that friend yourself.

Even without that, no matter how many friends you have, how helpful that friend will be.Eventually, when you take the throne of the emperor and make a decision that will affect the country, who will bear the responsibility and the burden together?That decision is engraved in your name in history.

What can you say to me?

If there's anything I can say...

Ekaterina raised her face and looked at Mikhail.

"It's a lonely destiny," he said.But even if you're destined to eventually become lonely... maybe not yet.After all, we are still learning in school. "

You're not the emperor yet, you're one of the students studying at school, and you're enjoying your life.

You're still a 16-year-old child.

From your sister's point of view, you're a child. [M]

You don't have to think too much about your childhood friends...

Play with your student friends and share good memories.But when I get out of society, the roads are divided, and I don't see you so often, or that kind of thing.I don't think we should give up now for the sake of the future.

Mikhail looked a little surprised and smiled.

"Thank you. I'm so glad to have your friend."

Is that it?

Ugh.

Ugh!

S... sorry. I am the one with the destiny of a villain, and you are the incarnation of my destruction flag.

That's why we should be as far apart as possible.

I thought the destruction flag countermeasure was a good friend in Gudagda, but when you say that in this way, something like this...

Instead of keeping a distance, oniisama and Vladimir are going to have to take their place as best friends!

I already know that this world is not a maiden game itself, but a former story, and the game and development have changed considerably.Still, as the game goes, there's actually a ton demonstration of the sudden appearance of the beast in the capital of the great power, the Imperial City!

I'm scared!

Even though Ekaterina is warming up in her brain, Mikhail smiles happily.

"Summer vacation is almost over, but if you go back to school, maybe you and I can talk again.... it's hard to talk to anyone like this. "

Uh-uh.

This... if you reject this, I'm a demon!

"Ah... if my brother says it's good..."

A trump card, Ciscon Oniisama!

Then Mikhail tilted his neck.It feels sad, like something went wrong.

You're the dog in front of the phonograph!It's a trademark!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.I have to tell you, you're worried!

Won't you do something about it?

Ekaterina panicked.

"So far."

Mikhail muttered.

What are you talking about? The moment I thought about it, I heard an unexpected voice.

"Lady!"

My brother's servant, Ivan, ran over with an unusual breath.

"Ivan, what's wrong?

"Miss, Your Excellency is looking for you.Don't worry if I don't see you. "

Well!

Shit, time has passed by accident.

Ekaterina was relieved to think so.

"I'm sorry I took the trouble to carry your feet."

As I said so, I noticed.

"Ivan, your hair is upset."

"Hey... our bad foxes are bothering me."

That said, Ivan raised her hair frustratingly.

What, a fox?

Ekaterina looks around, but she doesn't see anything like it.

I noticed instead.

"Well, Luca, my jacket."

The dress jacket worn by Mikhail's servant Luca has tears and dirt on its sleeves.

Is it because of the fox?He was supposed to be at the entrance to the backyard with Mina. When?Ekaterina curled her neck.

"Didn't you get hurt?You should see a doctor. "

"Thank you for your concern.It's just clothes, so it's okay. "

Luka smiled, narrowing her eyes as thin as a thread.

Ivan stared at the Luca.

"I'm sorry I took so long, Ekaterina.Shall we go back? "

That's how Mikhail put out his right hand, and the scene he just saw disappeared from Ekaterina's head.Wow, Prince Escort!All right, Doom Flag, you're dodging this?

But as a matter of manners, it is impossible for Ekaterina, the Duchess' daughter, to reject the escort in the face of Prince Mikhail.And the flow of conversation so far.

Yeah, I can't help it. It's me!

After escaping reality in her brain, Ekaterina gently placed her left hand on Mikhail's arm.
