Unnamed Memory

"What is it!

I thought they'd definitely complain. Her reaction was in anticipation, so Raju retains it to move his eyebrows gently.

Tina had her thin arms up about the table. Is it because of anger that the hand is shaking slightly? He answers with as little emotion as he can.

"Why? Because I already signed up."

"I didn't ask, it's my first ear!

"I just said it for the first time."

When Raju returned it white, she dyed her fair beauty bright red.

If the other people in this village saw her face like this, they would be frightened, but he's the only one fine. Whatever they say, only the people around him recognize her as his "wife of the inner edge," and in fact there's not a single muscle to complain about.

"You can't! I can't believe we're going into Castle Fort! It's dangerous and no!

"You think I won't take it for a second?

"If you don't take it, no one will take it, that's different!

Raju wanted to block his ears to a desperate and noisy woman, but doing so would be extra prolonged. Because it's obvious that it's a parallel line no matter what.

I leave the village where I was born and raised and go for an exam to become a soldier at Castle Fort - so I cut out the boy that the woman who lives with me on the push has expressed her full opposition.

I can see why you don't like it. Essentially, women and children cannot enter within the fortifications of the defense of the country except the families of soldiers. To prevent the intrusion of spies from other countries. Of course there are some women who work in the fort with their jobs, but they need rigorous scrutiny, and people from other countries, like Tina, will fall there first.

Being an unusually good magician with only her arms, she was trying to persuade Raju to stay with her as if she were a wasted child. But the boy only receives it appropriately.

"I don't care what you say. I was supposed to be judged by my uncle's handout. If I say no now, my uncle will bother me."

With this said, he thought Tina would back off, respecting his blood ties.

But the woman, always returning a reaction beyond her imagination, laughed and said:

"Then I will destroy the fort so irreparably from now on. So that's settled, right?

"... it's all settled! I'd rather not! If I did, I'd never talk to you again!

In the end, the words will silence her.

And there was resentment. Looking down at him with his eyes, Tina didn't say anything until dinner.

The truth is, I was going to take a ride in the carriage to the fort, but Tina was going to send me the same day.

Having cleaned up the house much more tightly than he did, she calls the red dragon when she picks up Raju, who was dropped off by the villagers, and puts him on top of it.

Tina looked stuffed next to the boy, stunned by the creature she saw for the first time. Although he accidentally cheered when the dragon slowly left the surface, she just had a slightly dreary eye.

Dark eyes swim in the sky from time to time to see where they look. Is it his illusion that there seems to be an occasional and difficult time lurking there?

Raju sighed as he looked back at the village that would get far away. There is a voice in that ear that can be called the silence of a woman.

"- Are you going to the fort because I don't like it"

"No, I'm not. Uh, well, it can be annoying, but no."

"Then why? You can be anything without choosing a soldier."

"That's all right. For starters, it's only three years."

Normally soldiers are repositioned every three years or take promotion exams to martial officers. Not only that, but some people go back to the village with the money they earn. And for fifteen-year-old Raju, three years is never a long time.

Tina takes a deep sigh. Her white fingers combed her own hair flowing in the wind.

"It was only three years, and it was there for me when I could say that. Only ten years, only fifty years. But now, it's too late for even a second."

"No way, are you getting sick or something?

"No, I'm not going to die that easily."

Raju is relieved when his anxiety is dispelled. But it still didn't completely clear my mind in the eyes of the troubled woman.

The dragon, which flies in a straight line towards the fort at leisure, apparently already saw its destination. I raised my short voice and called on the two upstairs. Tina stares at a castle fort that looks far away.

"Raju, if you want, I'll get you a country."

"I don't need it. I'm good as I am."

"Are you..."

The boy stared at the delicate side of her mouth again that far.

- It's only three years. With all that, he will grow up, his sword arms will rise, and he will save money just not to be crippled in his immediate life.

She says she's an immortal person. Then in three years' time, you won't feel uncomfortable lining up next door much more than you do now.

So go into the fort.

That's all there is to it. But he never speaks of the reason.

"Don't you like me?

Tina asked so with her eyelids closed, not wanting to show her anxious eyes. Seeing you like that just shakes my mind a little bit.

"I don't hate you"

Words that aren't wrong. But the boy returns words that are not even correct.

I thought it might seem deceptive. I was wondering if I would be bewitched as usual.

But she smiles happily when she looks up.

"Then... I will never give up"

The vetting to become a soldier passed without any problems at all.

Rather, to the extent that he had received praise for what he was doing from the general who was present, he was to live as a soldier in the fort as it were.

I'm the one who said it was only three years, but after a week away from her, I started to think I missed that smile asexually. Just a few months after we met. But it seems that the pushy woman has completely imprinted her presence in Raju. Now that he's out of the village, he wonders where she lives and where she sleeps.

However, the question was to be resolved shortly.

One day, Raju was headed to the dining room in a colloquial manner with his new friends after training.

Topics remain very much the same as usual: about the general, about the girl who works in the dining room, and about the newly seconded official from the castle being a nobleman on the nose.

As they turned the corner with laughter, one of them lurked his voice and pointed over the blowout.

"Look, it's that official over there. You're angry, aren't you?"

"I'm angry... I just can't tell by the look on my face"

"You've got a woman. That's not my wife, I'm bringing in a mistress."

For the first time since he was told, Raju realizes that a woman in a veil is standing in the shadow of a man in lavish clothes.

The woman noticed her downstairs gaze, shifting the vale of the white veil and looking down at them.

……………………

I can't say anything. I rather don't know what it is. Only understated letters fly through my head.

It was - "she" who said she would never give up - that looked down at Raju with dark eyes and smiled lusciously at him.

I want to ask you what you intend to do.

But there is no way that he, a soldier, will have the opportunity to talk to the human concubine of the aristocracy.

After spending half a day with frustration that no one could tell him and no place else to do it, he was visited by "her" in the middle of the night. A white woman's hand invites through the window as the humans in the room sleep unnaturally deep.

Raju went out the window in the mood to yell at the woman standing on the terrace.

The woman in the black dress smiles at him with joy. The smile was nothing like it was before.

"... what are you doing"

"Because I wanted to legally enter the fort"

"It's not legal. Aristocratic pressing. And a mistress..."

"Oh, not exactly. Even the mistress is just making an implication. It's a memory operation."

"To?"

"It's intense, but it's just a lot of clutter, so don't ask me too much about the inside of the building. They realize they don't remember it."

"... what is it"

Even if that is not noticed, there will be no human being who asks the aristocrats who behave as bystanders about their nightlife in detail.

Raju crouched on the terrace to the fatigue that was coming at him more and more.

"You know."

"Yes."

"If you could manipulate your memory, why didn't you choose more positions? I wish I could have been a chef by deciding to be human in this country."

"Because I wanted to be in a position to move somewhat freely. And..."

Tina crouches like a boy, peeking into his blue eyes. I saw a pranky light floating there.

"Surprised? It's payback."

"... I'm surprised"

If this is the case, I should have followed you as a cat or whatever you put beside yourself.

He regretted it so much as he took the woman he was going to hug, but it was almost time.
