Unmotivated Hero’s Tale (WN)

"Mi, Dear Miriam... how did you get here"

"Don't you see? To you… yes, to meet Yui Istarz."

Unlike Yui, who cannot hide his upset, Miriam tells him so with a clear intention, even while blushing slightly.

Yui, gazed at her like that, scratched her head unexpectedly when she gave her weak expression.

"Dear Miriam. I'll see you at any time, even if it's not this time. I was just finishing my job today, and I'm sorry, but could you please revisit the day if you can?

"No, I don't like it"

Miriam always had a gentle grin, like the warm sun of spring. Such a girlfriend mouths a clear rejection with a resolute expression.

Yui, who had only ever had the impression that she was a boxed daughter, was bewildered by that clear indication of Miriam's will and stuffed her words.

"Dear Miriam..."

"I came here today to see you. And I'm here to tell you what to do."

"Please…? Of course, I can help you with whatever I can. So again --"

Scratching his head like trouble, Yui mouths like that trying to put this place away for now.

But sooner than he could say, Miriam opened her mouth to him.

"To the best of your ability, will you save this country?

"... what does that mean?

Yui understood what Miriam meant by words. And so he understands exactly why Miriam is here. That's why he dared to turn to her and show her.

But such is his response to the sneeze on the spot that even Miriam is quickly nursed.

"People like you would know. Please help the Kelm Empire through Filament."

"It's..."

No rush, no intention, just a pure wish.

Hitting it straight, Yui accidentally eats it, as well as mumbles.

Meanwhile, going to him like that, Miriam hit him even more with her own thoughts.

"You were told earlier." Anything you can do, "he said. And you must have the ability to save this country from filaments. Be a hero, Yui Istarz."

"... it's too much to buy. Hi, if you're from this country, I have a hard time overestimating me. I'm just a little lucky to be a soldier rolling around."

Yui turns away in a panic as she is about to be sucked into Miriam's eyes with overlapping gaze. And as I shook my head to the left and right, I mouthed the response with the body I said somehow.

On the other hand, Miriam, worried by his expression, turns to him in a slightly lower voice and raises one question.

"So you say that my beloved country, and its subjects, have lost to someone who is just lucky?

"Dear Miriam..."

Milia's inquiry with only a hint of shadow.

In contrast, Yui was unable to say a clear answer.

"I'm sorry, I heard something hard to answer, didn't I? But even if you don't think you can do it, I think you can... yes, you can save us. So, if, ah, you ask... as a price... I dedicate myself to you..."

uplift his face, the last one tells Miriam so with a mosquito ringing voice.

The situation that Miglia currently exists here. That in itself was a true indication to Yui that she was serious about what she was saying now.

That's why Yui is confused and accidentally scratches her hair .

For some time, silence came between us.

Of those two, the first to open his mouth was Yui, who saw the shadow of two men behind the woman in front of him.

"... at all, a woman like you shouldn't say that. Even I could be serious. Let's go home to your family."

A clear word of rejection, told in a soft tone.

But because such Yui's words contained the word 'family', Miriam understands that the words of the man in front of her were told toward the two men present behind her, not her.

And so Miriam opened her mouth clearly to try to unravel Yui's misunderstanding, while suppressing her loud chest with shame and tension.

"Seriously... can you take it"

"Huh?"

To Miriam's unexpected words, Yui stood still on the spot as if he had become a sculpture.

Then, towards him like that, Miriam mouths her own thoughts.

"Indeed, it is true that my father expects you to be my husband. He came to me today with that story. But I wasn't specifically instructed to do something. My father, at this time… does not know that I am in your room. I entered your room at my will………………"

"But..."

"Please don't embarrass me! I'm an adult, too. Now I know as much as I know what the action I'm taking is. And you don't understand, so let me get this straight. If it's just for the country, I didn't come here. Why? That's because you are. You saved my life and that of my father before, so here I am!

Miriam's face, which she proclaimed so clearly, was dyed red for shame, and her eyes still had a drop of tears that seemed to fall from scratch.

With those eyes on her, Yui finally understood that what she said and did earlier was true.

Still, however, it should be noted that he turns to the woman in front of him and tries to defend himself.

"That's because I was targeted for my life, too. After all, there were just you guys here to extend your self preservation... don't you think?

"Please stop trying to persuade me to say things you don't even think about. You think my eyes are that much of a pit saver?

"So much so that you try to come to me...... no, it's a silence. Forget about that one."

Yui accidentally bites her lips, realizing that her own words and actions contained perhaps the ingredients to insult her.

"Please… please save this country. Or... Are you dissatisfied with me?

Knowing or not his thoughts like that, Miriam looks up to Yui's face in tears.

Yui breathes unexpectedly in the expression of beauty.

And once Yui closed his eyes, he decided here to choose one of the countless choices he had that he thought was the Tsutsu path.

"Dear Miriam... Sincerely, Ambassador Yui Istarz of the Kingdom of Clarice is still unable to help with your country's war"

That's what Yui said without breaking the hard look, staring into Miriam's eyes.

Then at that moment, Miriam leans down and exhales a fine voice.

"... is that right..."

"Yeah, I'm sorry...... but if you're just a guy named Yui, a Wall Chamber of Commerce merchant, it's nothing to talk about"

"What?"

Suddenly Miriam looks up at what Yui starts to talk about.

At the end of that gaze was Yui's usual expression of bitter laughter.

"So if you are a merchant named Yui who belongs to the Wall Chamber of Commerce, you may have to stop and cooperate with the Imperial Army in the interests of the Chamber of Commerce. Well, this is just solitary."

"... So, bye!

Miriam stares straight at Yui with her eyes full of anticipation, brightening her cloudy expression all the way up until earlier.

The man present ahead of that gaze opened his mouth looking illuminated as he scratched his head.

"It's only business. It's not a deal between you and me either, it's a deal between the Wall Chamber of Commerce and the Kelm Empire. If that's the case, a man named Yui, a merchant, can help you with your country."

When he finished stating everything or not, Miriam jumped straight into Yui's chest. And from her big eyes a large tear streams down.

"Thank you, thank you so much. Miriam is yours now, Yui. So... well... take me."

"Hey, hey, wait a minute. Dear Miriam, as I said earlier, it is the man at the Wall Chamber of Commerce who will help you this time. And..."

Placing her hand gently on Miriam's shoulder, Yui slowly pulls away from herself. And he opened his mouth to tell, staring into her eyes.

"Besides, you and the men around you who call you heroes aren't such big guys. So I may not be able to live up to my expectations. So... I... No, if that Wall Chamber guy were to get some kind of reward, that was after it all ended with a convincing result. So how about that?

"Yes, yes...... ok, yui"

Miriam wipes her tears gently with her left hand finger, lifting her dress elegantly to greet her. And with his hand in his sight, he went straight out of Yui's room without making any footsteps.

In the room thus left alone, Yui, fluttered and walked over to the window, as he opened the window, sucking in the outside air slightly cooler than the indoor and spitting it out with a loud sigh.

"Ha... now I have to work a little again? Labor is not my type at all."

That whining from the heart melted into the empire's night sky, along with Milia's quiet footsteps.
