Virtuous Old Man, SSS-Rank is Confirmed in Your Next Life

06. Play Good Men, Emperors and Couples

"... hmm"

"What's the matter, Eliza, stare at Homunculus"

I believe in Alec.

Eliza turned over and smiled bitterly for some reason.

"You're a little nervous."

"What are you anxious about?

"I am the Emperor"

I followed one sigh, from a smile to a true face, and he stared straight at me.

"I have a lot to prepare for the time of need. Alec won't know that."

"I guess so."

"That's right. Because..."

Corny and facial expressions change, Eliza.

Now I shrugged my shoulder, and, heh, smiled.

"Ever since I met Alec, I've never been in that (,,,) situation. Everything's going so well because of you, you've never seen anything like it."

"... I see"

If they say so, it could be true.

Preparation for Eliza's "Time of Trouble".

One of them is deeply involved in me, too, the School of Magic.

Rebellion and other military "times of say no" abandon the royal palace and flee to the magic school to cage there fortified and resume.

It's a magic school for that matter, and for that reason it's a staff member named Students who have been gathering from all over the country.

I put my hands on it and put it in a full position - but as Eliza pointed out, it's never actually been a necessary occasion.

Things are going to be all right.

"I trust you about Alec, but you're anxious to say 'as I always do'. You don't have time."

"Right. You can't deal with what Eliza planted in Homunculus."

I thought.

To "reassure" Eliza.

Above all, to keep it "safe".

I thought about what I could do and what to do.

"Well, here's what we'll do"

I said that to Eliza, and then summoned the person I think by casting a spell.

With little opening between them, the goddess Astalot was summoned.

"Would you call me, Lord?"

"Yeah. I need to ask you for one thing."

"Whatever."

"It's too soon to take it on. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I laughed bitterly and said, "Still," Astalotto said with a true face.

"For what, my Lord?"

"Yeah. I'll be traveling with Eliza for a while using homunculus, but in the meantime, I want you to get into Eliza's body and protect her"

"Yes, sir."

"Are you sure? What do you want me to say?"

"If I can help the Lord, I have no more joy"

Astalotto, who said it out with his true face.

You look like you really think so, and the one I asked for is so freaking awkward.

But... let's not think deeply.

Astalotto will take it on as it stands is the safest way I can prepare it.

"That's why Eliza. I'm going to have Eliza's body go into Astarot while we're gone, I don't know."

"Wow, whenever you look at it. I can't believe you asked a goddess to do that."

Eliza looked very impressed.

"But when the superior soul enters the inferior flesh, can it be stronger than it was originally"

"Yeah, if it's astalotto, it's stronger than the original astalotto"

"Then don't worry."

You know exactly what I've done, Eliza.

She is also familiar as an emperor with the "Silver Calamity" that inspired her to know the relationship between soul and flesh, and therefore feels that the anxiety she had until just now was completely blown away.

Thus, leaving Eliza's flesh to Astalot, we went on a journey.

Leaving Teito for a whole day.

The two of us, who transferred our souls to the flesh of Homunculus, were walking down the street dressed as travellers.

I've been to a whorehouse in disguise before, but even more so than then.

I'm transferring my soul to another flesh in the first place, impossible to see through on a human level.

And we walked right in the middle of the street for what it was worth.

"Speaking of which,"

"Yeah?"

"I've been walking through it since yesterday, but you're not tired at all. Thanks to this getting into the lower flesh, too?

"Yeah, that's how I made homunculus. It's a long journey, so don't feel tired."

"That means it's different from the homunculus I used to make."

"Yeah, a lot of improvements"

"That's as amazing as ever, you. I can't believe we're making further improvements there."

"By the way, the taste and sense of smell of deliciousness were strengthened. Conversely, the smell of the smell was cut. Maybe I don't smell anything when I go to the bathroom."

"It's the end of it."

Eliza smiled, but also seemed a little frightened.

"That's right. Hey Alec."

"What?

"What kind of setup are we?

Setting up means setting up a disguise.

"What do you want?

I threw back the ball Eliza had thrown as it was.

Whatever, or throw round after you decide.

It's never like that.

What do you want? Nevertheless, Eliza's eyes have a flirtatious light and her eyes say she's already decided something.

So I asked her that first.

"Couple, what do you say?

"Couple."

"Yeah. Young couples are a lot more convenient, and they won't be prying."

"Well, that's true."

Including memories from previous lives, I know full well that it is true that Eliza says, "Couples are not pryed".

But that's just a good reason.

Eliza is also a habitual prisoner of patience, the reason (,) will be well known.

But I had it because of emotion.

Because there's nothing anyone can do about it now.

Eliza's deputy voice, the voice of her heart was clearly heard.

If so.

"Yeah, well, then it's a couple."

"Ugh."

Eliza smiled gently.

That's the look on her face I've never seen before, I don't know.

Not because it's homunculus, more, fundamentally the first look she ever gave.

She has put that look on her face and put her arms around me.

"Nice to meet you. Ah... ha."

That's what I'm saying. I'm pushing my chest against my arm, Eliza.

Some of her "feelings," I felt, my chest twitching, getting hot.
