Back home, Yu and Karen had already surrounded the desk in the back and had breakfast.
Looks like they baked some bread and put some eggs on it.
Seeing it, my belly bug sounds unconsciously.
"Oh, Lasalles? Welcome back. How was your morning walk?
"... you were cold"
"Ha, well. Well, I can do Lasalles' share. You want some right away?
"Oh. I'll wash my hands first"
I hung my coat on a chair and headed for the well.
Upon returning from the well, Yu had already finished his meal and washed his own dishes.
And as if to be replaced, Lynne sat in the chair.
"Welcome home. Oh, you didn't introduce me. She's Lynne. He's my best friend."
"... Regards"
……
Ignore my words and throw bread in your mouth, Lynne.
... I see they didn't think I deserved credit for one thing yesterday.
But I'm not going to betray the law of the wise man right now.
Her concern is a concern.
"Lynne, he's a cohabitant..."
"Lazareth, right? I was just calling you names."
"What, were you awake? Then you should have come down and had breakfast."
"... or. I'm weak in the morning. You know that."
She's right, she's staring at me, but she's not hectic.
But hostility is real.
"Well, I'm going to go buy it out now. Are you both coming?
"I'm fine. Sleep."
"Lynne, if you slept so much, you wouldn't be able to sleep at night! Why don't you wake up and read?
"... am I a child? Fine. Nothing, I couldn't sleep at night. Because I'm going to sleep in the morning instead."
"Lynne! What if Karen imitates!
"The next step in treating children is treating them like bad adults. Heh heh heh. I'm a teacher on the other hand anyway."
... That's all Lynne says, giving Yu the dishes and then going up the stairs.
Does self-depravity refer to this?
"Not at all. What about Lazareth?
"I'm coming. I need to know what this city is up to."
"Right. Shall we go? Go when you can."
... I don't have any luggage other than this coat.
When I wove my coat, I accidentally felt heavy pressure on my sleeve.
When I saw it, Karen was pulling her sleeve.
"... I won't give it to you"
"I don't want it. Not..."
When she took something out, she kept offering something of it.
In that hand, my dagger was held.
"... this, it was falling"
"... oh. Sorry."
I take the dagger from her hand and put it in the inside pocket of my coat.
... Speaking of which, you also had this stuff.
But unlike Lazareth, I can't use my sword.
"What is Lazareth doing with his sword, too?
"No, this is just a decoration. Never mind."
"Really? But aren't they pretty much used for decorations?
"... oh. The previous owner."
You know, I'm gonna shut up.
I'm sure you thought that was something you shouldn't touch.
Nothing, that's not true.
I already made up my mind with him.
Untrained, no shards.
"Okay, let's go. Yu, are you ready?
"... Oh, oh! Sorry I kept you waiting."
"No, that's okay. What about Karen? You're taking me?
"Absolutely. If Lynne taught me something weird and I became a bad girl, I wouldn't be enemies."
"Yes, yes, I'm bad anyway."
"It's a joke. I'll buy you something to apologize for. What would you like?
"... chocolate"
Yu, who was unexpectedly asked for something girly, laughs and takes Karen outside.
I try to mimic her like that and go outside, but I can accidentally stop her from behind.
"... hey, can I just ask you one thing?
"Oh."
"Your 'revenge'. Do I include Yu anyway?
"I don't know. If so, what?
……
"It's a joke. If you're an enemy, you had every chance to scratch your neck."
"Chi......"
She lays her face down.
Did you just want to take a fact-check?
But I'm not going to avenge these two now.
"Hey... you"
"What?
"Mmm... I knew it would work. I feel like it's useless to say something"
"... right"
She was trying to tell me something without raising her face, but then she shut up.
I can't see the expression, so I can't make predictions.
... but I felt it was a sound somewhere.
After shopping for a while, sit back on the bench in the morning.
"Ugh, I'm sorry. Let me carry my stuff."
"I don't mind... sorry, can you take the lead?
In the basket in front of me, it was swelling off into swells with various foods, groceries, etc., blocking my sight along with my hands.
"Oh, bad! I didn't realize that!
"Well, you don't buy any more, do you?
"Ugh... that, Karen's clothes..."
"... if that's all, shouldn't I go home? I have no idea what a girl's clothes are."
"Right. Bad, go home alone...... don't you?
"No, once you're on the road, you'll figure it out"
Listen to that, and I'll give you one hand to apologize for.
I glanced at her like that and then went back home.
Place your luggage near the entrance and sit in a nearby chair.
Next door, sleeping Lynne.
"... Hey, why don't you sleep in your room?
Talking to you, there's no response.
I coat her asleep and exhale.
... What am I doing?
Why does the law of the wise not work?
The Wise Men's Act I've seen has always been aimed at us and fought a war.
So... as much as destroying one country, I even thought it was a daily tea meal.
But what are these people in this country?
There are laughs at night and each day works thoughtfully.
It's like normal people.
"... chip"
Unexpectedly, I pound my tongue.
I guess he was unknowingly frustrated by the fact that it wasn't the same side he was showing me.
That's when Lynne, who was lying on her face, spoke to me.
"... Welcome back. And Yu?"
"I'm going to buy Karen's clothes. I'll be out of the way, so I just got back."
"Right. Well, it's a little safer than you and Yu being together..."
"Thank you."
That's what I said, hands behind my head, leaning against the chair.
Lynne pillows her extended arm and looks at this one.
"... What do you think about equality?
"Impossible. You have nothing to say but that."
"Right. Then you're with me."
"What? You're in the Sage Act, too, aren't you?
"Hmmm...... I'm lost. I know you can come in and stay close to Yu, but like I said, I think equality is only ideal."
... Why?
I felt somewhere different from her that Lazareth was talking about.
"How did you get into the Sage Act?
"Revenge. For that, I wanted a convenient cover."
"Right. There's one thing about that, okay?
"... well, as far as I can answer"
"Why are you trying to get revenge?"
... Why?
Why, that's...
Words don't come out.
I've only thought about revenge so far.
It didn't come, it's supposed to...
Really, his name comes up.
Even this emotion of mine is as if I wanted to say it belongs to him.
"... sorry but I can't answer"
"Right. Well, whatever..."
She gets up and clasps her stuff.
And then take out the chocolate and poke it out.
"If you act as Yu's enemy, I will kill you."
That's what I said, throwing the coat on my shoulder at me and going up the stairs.
But consciousness was not there, and he was beginning to think about the reason for revenge.
