177 Lesson 162

After a journey by carriage, we arrived safely in the magical city of Lukvis.

This is the second city I've visited, but it hasn't changed much from before. But still, I felt a little emotional from here with Kazuki and the seniors, considering I headed on each trip.

"Unlike last time, we'll continue with the carriage to the heart of the city. We still don't know if the discussion will start any time soon, but please be prepared."

Nodding at Mr. Welsey's words.

I have been face-to-face with people of high stature many times over the course of my journey, but I still don't get used to it. Just in case, I need to keep myself well acquainted.

I think so, and when I'm right about the collar of my uniform, etc., I notice that Kazuki is looking at the view outside the carriage.

If you look ahead of his gaze, there was a view of the city of Lukvis.

"This is as childish a place as ever."

"The same goes for other countries I've visited on my journey, but this place is also characteristic enough."

"... my kingdom of Nirvalna is the opposite of here. Somehow it was a place with a lot of physical people."

Speaking of which, you hardly heard about the kingdom of Nirvalna from Kazuki. Though you didn't tell me you did something like a tournament in the arena.

"Are you sure Kazuki was doing something like a tournament?"

"Oh. The king told me, 'If you want to pass your wishes, win with your strength and show them!' and I couldn't help but compete..."

"You're a very aggressive king..."

"Ha, I'm not a bad person. That's how I was able to build my sword arm."

But if Kazuki is right, the soldiers of the fleshy kingdom of Nirvalna can be said to be the opposite of a common healing wizard.

With the exception of me and Rose, they should recognize me as a general healing wizard.

At that time, I get a little anxious if I won't be taken lightly.

"Be aware of yourself out of the ordinary track,"

Reminds me of the words Amako told me.

Now that I'm deputy captain, I'm here carrying a sign called Lifeguard Corps.

There's no way I can hurt the name of a lifeguard like that.

"Okay, I've made up my mind. Be aware of the leader's standing behavior during the talks."

Don't act like the students can taste it, like the last time you came to Lukvis.

When he was so determined, Mr. Welsey called out to see if he heard me whining.

"Dear Usat, I felt like I heard a very disturbing whine right now... hey, it's your fault, isn't it?"

"No, it means exactly what you say. I have a position as deputy head of the life-saving corps. It shouldn't be good for the kingdom of Ringle for me to be sweetened by my looks, words, deeds, and attributes of a healing wizard."

"Well, yes, but we need to refer to Master Rose on the boulder..."

"I know. Indeed, the captain is a modest and horrible man. But that's why I'm just fine this time."

Yes, that ghost captain's aura is what intimidates most of his opponents.

Normally, they unnecessarily constrict the person, but they are ideal for face-to-face encounters.

If you're to be mocked, you don't have to let them.

Show it with presence, not words.

I'm afraid of imitating my Rose because I know how Amako and the others reacted before I went into Hinomoto.

"I'm not convinced you're going to be fooled just by a healing wizard. I think I'm good."

"I agree. I knew it was important to have a first impression at a gathering like this. Besides... I spread the word as an article about your sketch..."

It's also a chance to get rid of that princess face sketch.

Instead, it's better than your princess style, although it could spread the rumor of being scared, etc.

All right, you want to give it a try?

"During the talks, I --"

Lift your forehead with your left hand like Rose and sharpen your gaze with a thin grin.

I put my back on the carriage wall with Rose in my head, and I put my legs together, and I looked up.

"I'm going to stay in this state as long as possible in Lukvis. Huh, you can't taste this."

"I knew the atmosphere would scare me too. Yeah, I'm fine. You don't look like a healing wizard."

"I don't know if I'm being complimented, but thanks"

Give Amako a gentle thank you and see Kazuki, Senior, and Mr. Welsey.

Kazuki and his predecessors react like they admire him, but Mr. Welsey is stunned.

"Oh, you really look like Mr. Rose!"

"Hih, people change the atmosphere so far... Wow, wild Usat, you're inside too..."

Sounds pretty popular with seniors and Kazuki.

But neither I nor I can stay in this state all the time, so I immediately pull out my shoulder and speak to Mr. Wellsey, who is still out of line.

"After all, should I stop?"

"Ugh, Mr. Usato's behavior is not in itself useless... but I was surprised to see how it should be changed. The atmosphere really looked like Lady Rose."

"Well, that's all the captain got me. You might be more right than to imitate that you've worn it naturally"

"The mental structure simply got closer to Mr. Rose..."

I thought Boso and Amako muttered something, but I didn't hear it. I dare to go through with it because I thought I might as well.

While we're talking, the carriage stops if you've arrived in the middle of the city.

Looking out at the view, we get lightly acquainted and then get off the carriage.

"This place..."

Nearby, you can see the school building of Lucvis, and the carriage we rode in front of the building, which is no less than the one next to it, and the carriage, which is considered to belong to another country, was stopped.

I also see other people who I don't think are students of Lukvis.

"The talks will take place here, in the Grand Library where Lucevis is proud"

"By library, do you mean discussing books where they are arranged?"

"No, we're supposed to get together in a large hall built for talks beforehand. This is where it was built, right?"

An exclamation leaks in Mr. Welsey's commentary.

When I used to come, I never stepped in, but it's huge when I tried to see it in front of me.

Looking up at the Great Library, Mr. Siggles, who served as an escort, was speaking to Mr. Wellsey.

"Wellsey."

"Oh, excuse me. Ladies and gentlemen, please wait here as we go to inform the Director of Gladys School, who is preparing the venue for the talks for now, of our arrival. As soon as the guide arrives, please head to the inn first."

"" "Yes" "

"And since the talks themselves start the day after the Four Kingdoms are in place, Mr. Amako might want to meet those who want to see him by then"

"Yeah, thanks. Mr. Wellsey."

Having smiled gently and carelessly at Amako, who said so, Mr. Welsey turns to the Great Library with Mr. Siggles.

Perhaps we will go and discuss the steps of the talks, etc.

"So why don't you leave your stuff and go see the Kirikhas?"

"Yeah. Let's do that"

I nodded and decided to wait for the greeters to come with my predecessors.

My luggage is handy because the knights have it for me. I'll talk to my senior who seems to be on guard from earlier.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"No, hey to Carm. Find a carriage with Rio's crest engraved on it. I know you're not coming, but I'm a little wary..."

You don't seem like your usual senior.

To Carm, Rio doesn't have a single person in mind, but could it be that person?

"Alert? That 's--"

"Oh, Suzune. Suzune!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

I turn my voice to the seniors who look disgusted. [M]

From there I could see a red-haired boy of the same age, accompanied by several knights of escort, running waving at his senior.

"... why are you here? Prince Kyle."

"F, you don't have to honor me. Feel free to call me Kyle."

"Okay. So, Prince Kyle, why are you here?"

Oh, seniors are drier than I thought.

Is this back to the seniors before you were summoned?

Prince Kyle begins to speak with exasperation to the attitude of his cold predecessor, no matter how he sees it.

"Let's answer the question. That's because I was in this meeting to fight the Demon King's Army! No, let's tell the truth! That's to see you again!"

"Heh, yeah. I thought I said no to your confession."

"If I had succumbed to that degree of frustration, I would have been mentally murdered by my sister before that!"

Seems like a different story from that......

I feel like I'm listening and not listening to what I have to say.

"So where is the healing wizard? I guess he's here with you, huh?"

"... erm"

Seniors turn their gaze over here reluctantly.

Looks like you're wondering if you can say something about me.

As for this one, I'd like to go see the Kirikhas as soon as possible, but I can't help it.

With a wrinkle between my eyebrows and a grumpy arm, I move next to my senior.

"I am the healing wizard Usat."

"What. Was that what you were standing there for? [M] It wasn't in my eyes at all, but see how similar it is to the sketch..."

That's how Prince Kyle looks at my face. It hardens.

Naturally, I'm creating a frightening atmosphere for my fellow travelers right now.

"Suzune, what is it? The man who seems to have killed some of these people."

"He's Usato, you."

"Healing Wizard Common Sense Will Break!?"

It's scattered, but I don't say anything because I'm feeling grumpy knowing it, too.

But still against me? I've been poking my fingers at you with a slight tremor as to whether you're burning.

"Are you really a healing wizard?"

"Of course. You can handle healing magic like this."

"Ho, it's true..."

When you show healing magic on your palms, you get a convulsive look.

He looked at me and my senior face alternately and talked to Prince Kyle, who had begun to whine about a bump in the nail and something, as the knight of the escort who was holding him back behind his back.

"Dear Kyle, not much of this..."

"The meditation is on the healing wizard, on foresight...!"

"No, that's not what I meant. Applying for a duel on such occasions is slight --"

"Don't guide me. Prince, I don't have two letters of defeat. Hey healing wizard!"

Prince Kyle, shaking off the Knight of the Guard, pokes his finger at me.

At that time, the knights noticed the woman approaching from behind and blued her face. Somewhere a woman with a face similar to Prince Kyle's, approaching behind him --,

"My name is Prince Rio to Carm! To Kyle Lark Carm, Rio! A duel to decide between you and the female --"

"You fool"

"Sign up!?"

He slammed a beautiful low kick into Prince Kyle's leg and stamped it down with momentum.

The red-haired woman, who looked a little older than us, pulled up Prince Kyle's chest compartment, which was creeping on the ground as she corrected the cloak stretching out of her shoulders.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Oh, sister!? This is the..."

Sister...!?

The woman who looked down at him jizzily with a puppet-like face is certainly similar to Master Kyle.

"What the hell did you try to say to the rumored Healing Wizard when you confessed in the kingdom that you would be a benefactor and you were greatly ashamed at the time of the splendid jade crushing?"

He opens his mouth to the woman who forced Prince Kyle to stand, whilst grumbling.

"Sister! I'm gonna sign this guy up for a duel as one man!"

"Was it ever when you were a man?"

"Terrible!? How can you say such horrible things, sister!"

……?

"I don't even realize I'm saying terrible things!?"

Prince Kyle is shocked by a woman tilting her neck with a decent look.

"No, I wonder purely what you're talking about when you say there are more than one people in your country..."

"Oh, no, that's..."

"Ha..."

Leaking a grumpy sigh, she goes on to utter words.

"There's no way you can beat him."

"Why are you so sure?!?"

"On the contrary, how can you think you can win? Look, does that look like a normal healing wizard? Can't you see? That's you. You'll be stranded with one finger."

I wonder what it is. Is that a new psych training?

You look scared yourself, but that makes it plain hard for me to have to bollocks.

I declared to my predecessors earlier, but let's not do this again except at the time of the talks. This is not a bit mentally pleasing.

Anyway, did the seniors know about Prince Kyle's sister?

"Senior, did you know he had a sister?"

"I knew I had a sister and a brother, but when I visited Rio to Carm, I was going to another country, so I didn't meet him face to face..."

Well, is that why you and your senior met for the first time?

But Prince Kyle looks just a little pitiful that he's even scolded for his personality that seniors wouldn't have expected either.

"He's even suspicious of being framed as a wizard in the first place, isn't he? All the rumors about him are true, except for the crappy article that you've been spreading in your obscure deeds."

"... Ugh, that's a lie"

"If you think it's a lie, fight it."

... hmm?

I got a go sign from a sooo natural stream.

Prince Kyle of the day is also confused.

"Uh, yes, okay?"

"Yeah, I don't mind. If the other side agrees…"

Prince Kyle's sisterly figure who looks at this one on the side.

I can feel something speculating on this one somewhere in that gaze.

"But good for you...... too bad. I can't believe the first prince of the kingdom of Rio was so wounded in spirit that he renounced his right to inherit the throne..."

"You just leaked the real deal. I thought it would be convenient."

"Yes."

"That's a deception!?"

Prince Kyle is totally turning to scratch......

You kind of looked like someone more serious about your sister, but apparently you don't...

"If you don't inherit the throne, go to Carm. Rio is mine. At this point, if you hurt your mind badly, you'll have to kick it off later... so we won't have to discuss it."

"My sister has no love for my brother!?"

"Do you have one? I can't help but say that Bren, my only brother who turns three this year, is cute and cute."

"I'm one of my brothers, too!"

That's what Prince Kyle says. A woman is a pussy face.

I really just want to leave this place, but that's not going to happen, so I decided to give it a try.

"Um..."

"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Rio to Naia Lark Kham, First Princess of the Kingdom of Rio to Kham."

"Ah, be polite...... my name is Usat Ken and I am the Kingdom of Ringle, Deputy Head of Life-Saving Corps"

"As you may know, this is the brave Inukami Suzune"

"Likewise, I am Lyusen Kazki, a brave man."

Seeing us in turn introducing ourselves, Princess Nia grinned with a grin of satisfaction.

"I apologize for the inconvenience caused by our short-circuited, shallow, and foolish brother this time"

"Tanraku, Senriku, Gutsu..."

Prince Kyle is depressed with great momentum next to Princess Nia.

I didn't know you'd make him look like he was sheltering his brother and slap him on the curse...... let's see.

"I am truly sorry that you are as venerable at that point as you are at the other worlds summoned with the brave... I hope you forgive me because my brother is still just an ignorant child too..."

"Yes, no, don't be so afraid! Nothing was done to Prince Kyle in the first place!"

You can't be so afraid of royalty by boulders.

Because even if they're not going to make it a problem, it's a big problem from around.

"... will you really forgive me? If we did poorly, we might have developed into a problem that would have created a crack in our relationship of trust with the kingdom of Lingle..."

"Yes."

"Can't you forgive me?"

"Huh?"

"Can I punch you in the face with one shot?"

"No, you don't have to do anything..."

"Oh, don't worry. 'Cause I'm not gonna make it a problem."

"Why are you trying to move on with my premise of beating Prince Kyle...?"

"That's right, sister! Why are you trying so hard to beat me up?"

This guy makes me look low. He's a jerk!

And you haven't listened to me for about half the time!

Don pulling me and Prince Kyle elsewhere, Princess Nia says the rest with a slightly over reacting.

"Oh, Master Usato. What a generous willingness. I was so impressed by the cliché that I persevered with the woman, and by the warmth that I gave to my stupid brother who tried to challenge you to battle without being able to speak for himself. The boulder is the brave man's best friend and the famous lifeguard leader, Lord Rose's best disciple."

"That's all they say..."

Why can't I be honest with you?

What do you care that you know about this information, because you're pinpointing words that make me happy?

But I know you mean it. But something... I feel uncomfortable when I talk to Lucas in Samarial.

Princess Nia shifts her gaze from me to Kazuki.

"Master Suzune is also the first to meet face to face, but what a brilliant man. Master Kazuki can also be seen as quite a strong man at a glance. It's an honor to meet you."

"Oh well...?"

"Ha, that's kind of itchy..."

Seniors notice something and have a cramped grin, as opposed to a normally illuminable kazuki.

Here I also realize the identity of the discomfort I had earlier.

"I have one suggestion for you, but we met here on one edge. Could you please just take a moment after this?"

"Well, what is time?"

"I just want to talk to you for a minute. Of course, we won't be taking long, and we'd love to give you all the hospitality you can, but what do you think?"

I nodded once and then replied to Princess Nia, who is probably noticing her thoughts here.

"I'm inviting you around the corner, but we have another appointment, so I will decline you this time. If possible, if you could invite me another time..."

"Really, I'm sorry. There will be plenty of opportunities while the talks are taking place, and shall we talk about it then?"

"... Yeah, yeah. Right."

Nodding in a pulling mood, she grinned lightly and grabbed Prince Kyle's neck collar.

"Then we'll go back. The next time you make me see your face, it's time for a meeting. Thank you then. Kyle, you have a sermon waiting for you, so be prepared."

"Hih!? Ah, sister! Come here and spare me the sermon!"

Princess Nia leaves this place while dragging Prince Kyle around just saying no questions asked.

When I dropped him off, I accidentally leaked a breath of relief.

"Senior, Kazuki. That... you were coming to pull it out..."

"I guess so. Though it's not strange from Rio's national style to Carm, I didn't expect the princess herself to come so blatantly..."

"I'm used to being solicited, but not so far. Usato might want to watch out for the kingdom of Nirvalna. They're closer to fighters and gladiators than wizards, so I'm sure you'll love Usat."

"Kee, I'll be careful..."

I don't know, it occurred to me that Mr. Ditez and I had an arm wrestling match in a hiding place behind our brains.

What a horrible prediction, but I don't want it to be a reality...
