Illis had come alone, all over town to buy a drink. And I regretted it a little.

(Would it have been nice to weave feathers in my jacket...)

It's just a seaside town, and besides Illis, anyone who stays in a swimsuit can see it. But Illis isn't used to being in a swimsuit in the first place.

It's like walking exposed to underwear by the senses...... In front of Alta, he practiced under the guise of calm, but to be honest, he was much more nervous.

(… we need to make sure we don't think about anything extra. The teacher seemed to have something going on.)

Iris was able to guess in Alta's atmosphere and from the surrounding conditions. - Among tourists, The Knight is mixed.

I don't think Alta will have it ready to escort Iris. In the first place, if you need an escort, you'll have enough to say something to me.

The fact that you don't say anything may mean that it has nothing to do with Illis.

(… Still, I would have liked you to talk to me)

For Alta, is Illis only subject to escort? That feeling boils down to it, too. I didn't like myself thinking about that, keeping my sword and swimming taught.

But Alta won't answer if Illis asks.

(Because I still don't have the strength to be relied on by my teacher... right)

Become "The Most Powerful Knight" - that is the goal and dream of England. One day, if Alta can get strong enough to rely on me for something about Illis, maybe she won't have to worry about it like this either.

"... Phew"

"Something bothering you?

Iris is accidentally called out, with a slightly surprised look on his face, and sends his gaze.

Standing there was one woman.

He covers his face with a purple vale and is dressed in a robe.

In this area, which is a relatively warm climate, he appeared to be dressed much thicker.

A woman bows her head to Illis, chuckling tiny.

"... what about you?

"The eagle is Noweh Racin, who runs fortune tellers here. You seem to have some problems."

"... nothing like worrying, though"

Iris slightly sees the woman who appeared before him - with a look of surprise at Noweh. In particular, Illis is not interested in fortune telling etc.

I've witnessed classmates enjoy it before, but it's like playing if you try from Illis.

Think about cutting up early and going back to Alta and Aria.

"Woof...... for example, a thinker is hiding something from you, or something?

"! Oh, thinkers?

In response to Noweh's words, Illis reacts greatly.

"Ala, wasn't it?

"Beh, it's not like I'm thinking about people..."

"Woof...... 'Hidden' is done, isn't it?

"Huh!"

That's what Noweh pointed out to me, and Iris gives me a hazy look. Sure...... one end of what Iris was worried about right now is Alta's 'hiding'.

Noweh continues his words, laughing meaningfully at the astonished Illis.

"Woof...... that would be something fools can't do. I won't let you have much time, so could you hang out with the eagle?

Noweh takes the vale off and shows it. Features crying bollocks on the left cheek. I was looking to Iris with a luscious grin.

I was thinking of going back soon, but when I was told what I was thinking, I shook my heart.

Iris has been troubled for a long time.

"... well, maybe a little"

Yes, I answered.
