Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

68. The military daughter confirmed

Aena was alone, resting in her room.

Sitting quietly in a chair reminds me of what happened today.

An assassin came after her.... to this point, it would mean that she did what she planned.

(Are you still after me? Not within the empire, if not within the kingdom... pointless where you set it up, you mean)

Surely against the kingdom, rub the sin of the assassination of Ayna - and the Shadow Apostle intends to carry it out.

Taking it backwards, Ayna was trying to lure herself to the bait.

But there's only one miscalculation for her like that.

(I was wondering if it might be a mistake)

"We're back, Master Ayna."

Beneath Aena, Merche returns.

"Were we able to talk?

"Yes, earlier. Master Alta understood."

"Right. That man is still excellent...... The battle showed its strength. You can kill someone without a sword - he's a funny guy."

Aena remembers the fight against the assassin and smiles all the time.

It instantly creates a blade of wind and wields it - the nature of Invisible was also seen and understood by Aena up close.

That much swordsmanship is still being used by a twelve-year-old... although the fact was more surprising than anything else.

"Phew, that's why my chest sounds so loud. Maybe my" thoughts "weren't wrong either."

"... Dear Aena, No Way"

Merche also gives a look like she guessed something.

In contrast, Aena shook her head sideways.

"Don't worry, they're ahead now"

"... sorry"

"Why are you apologizing? This is an operation I thought of and moved to execution. You do everything I tell you to do."

"No, if you correct me, I will..."

"Merche"

Aena blocks the words of Merche and calls his name.

Vikri and slightly Merche's body trembled, but Aena stood beside Merche, smiling. So tender, I touched that cheek.

"Nothing. You're not bad. Me - Aena Bodle will guarantee that. Still anxious?

"... no, you always are, right"

Merche answers Aena's words with a grin.

"Phew, always be like me...... that's my creed. But don't go crazy in front of Alta Schweitz."

Aena sighs and sits back in the chair again.

... Aena approached the side of Alta and touched to make sure.

I lost a lot of words of surprise when we met today, but as much as I touched it, I didn't feel like I was previously 'held'.

Except when the battle begins. I felt a slight chest beep on Alta as she tried to protect Aena in the carriage.

Eina doesn't know if that's love. When I asked Merche how to make sure of it, she said, "Why don't you touch it if you get another chance? I followed your advice."

... As a result, Aena was once again aware of Alta, and was to recognize it.

Alta is strong - he didn't fight as an enemy, but his strength is nearby and I can tell.

For once, even Aena doesn't know if she can win. Being a boy, but gaining so much strength, I'm really worried about Alta.

"Of course, I'm going to focus on them until this battle is over.... but what should I do with this feeling?

"... you meant it"

"Mm, what. You thought I was joking?

"No, that's not it. But when Aena says" Love "and so on..."

"Are you crazy?

Aena asks dissatisfied as Merche obviously says something strange.

When Merche shook her neck to the side,

"No, you were just interested in that, too," he said.

"I thought I was unrelated, too. I never thought I'd run into someone stronger than me..."

The youngest knight in the kingdom - such a presence - serves as an escort for Ayna.

There is no stray in Aena's mind. Now it just moves for its own purpose.

... but when it's over, it's not a story.

"In the meantime, yeah...... What am I supposed to do if a man and a woman are going on a date?

"Weren't you focusing?

"Huh, about now would be good...... You're gonna have to deal with my problems a little bit."

"You'll always be dating...... Well, that's right. For starters..."

Aena and Merche do that and the two of us start talking.

The Shadow Apostle and Alta Schweiz - for her now, those two were becoming the subject of the operation.
