"It's been three years since this child was born..."
I shrugged about that as I watched a tiger ear (...) child reading a picture book obsessively in the mansion's library.
"Hmm?"
"It's nothing. More than that, it's time for a snack, so go to your mother."
"Yeah!"
The child, who replied well, ran away with the picture book thrown out on his desk. I put it back in position before heading to the dining room where snacks would be available.
In the dining room, the child is already caught in a snack, next to which the child's mother also sits… and then around the child, Silowmall and Solomon, who snack as usual, and several others, are seated in the chair.
Suddenly the intruder appeared in the dining room as the soothing time passed.
"Yoshitsune! Did you read the book by yourself?"
"Huh!
The intruder is Blanca, the father (...) of a child called Yoshitsune. The crying child breaks his strong face that he is about to cry even harder and tries to get close to Joshtune, my son, but Joshtune looks at his face and raises a strange voice and hurries to hold him to Sana, his mother.
"Yes, yes, I'm not afraid of you ~. I'm afraid of your face, but I'm not afraid of you ~"
And, saying things I'm not sure about, Sana is stroking Yoshitsune's back. Although Yoshitsune has tears in his eyes, he has managed to endure them. Blanca against was recessed into a situation where she was about to cry just because she smiled at my child.
"It's the usual thing... come on, Blanca should get used to it or wear a mask all the time!
Amur, who was sitting in the opposite seat of Yoshitsune with a snack on his cheek, says that while pointing to Blanca.
In the meantime, Yoshitsune took refuge behind me, away from Sana 'a in an attempt to get a distance from Blanca.
"Pfft!"
Amur laughs when she sees such Yoshitsune's behavior. In the meantime Blanca rose loosely and approached Amur. Amur is distracted by Yoshitsune or has not noticed Blanca's proximity. And
"Phew!
Blanca bent Amur's finger, still sticking out against herself, firmly gripped and reversed. With his finger joints extremed, Amur is desperately tapping the table with a scream.
"You're scared of Yoshitsune for doing that."
Sana complains with a grumbling voice about Blanca's behavior. Blanca looked up at Yoshitsune as if he had been hacked by the word, but it was already late, and Yoshitsune had fled to the corner of the room to get further distance.
"No, you're not, Yoshitsune!
I don't know what the difference is, but Blanca was desperate to solve Yoshitsune's misunderstanding, but Mr. Sana caught him before he approached him.
"You stay out there."
"Ugh... yes..."
Blanca, who was expelled by Mr. Sana, left the dining room in a disgusting manner. Yoshitsune made sure twice and three times that Blanca was gone before moving to Mr. Sana. Seeing how Joshtune was like that, Amur was laughing at the pain in her fingers.
This Yoshitsune was born just before the next year's tournament I won.
It doesn't look like Amur and the others (including Sana and Hana), nor does it look like Blanca (the one who was most relieved by that was Amur, who is eating fistbones at Blanca for a little while on the subject. By the way, the second person on the subject is Hannah). Then who does he resemble, Amur's grandfather, who resembles' Mr. Crow ', who hits Hannah and Sana's father? Mr. Crowe is the fruitful son of Grandpa Kay (Bandit King), but he said his appearance and personality were somewhat like his mother's and serene. It should be noted that I may be the named parent of Yoshitsune.
Why me? I was born just when I picked up Blanca and the others from Wang Du to the south, and even though I would go straight to the naming conference, when Blanca and Sana were not convinced by the name at the meeting, and gradually the name like the story (most of which was Amur's proposal) began to appear, when Sana said, "I look like your father, and maybe even the name I attributed to it," the first thing I came up with from that name "Crow" was the prosthesis.
Somehow when I spoke the name in a small voice, it got into Sana's ear and she was put up as a candidate for some reason. Moreover, when asked why his name was, he said, "Hang Crowe on the 'hard work' and let something like 'always good' happen to this child. So, when I said something like 'Yoshitsune', for some reason, Hannah and Sana snorted up to Blanca and decided on 'Yoshitsune'.
Why did the three of them snort, because Mr. Crowe was not a militant like Grandpa Kay (most of all Grandpa Kay was not a complete militant and he could have gone through a whole lot like a civilian, but from the side, Grandpa Kay was judged to be a complete militant because of his physique and anecdotes), so he was compared and struggling in putting the clan together?
Well, since he started building and ruling the city of Nanao, everyone in the clan has come to understand Mr. Crow's gratitude, and no one has ever imitated Mr. Crow as licking him, but he still thought it would be perfect for the three people who knew about it to attach it to Mr. Crow's similar grandson.
And in the course of this story, Viscount Robo Emeritus had been expelled early after being given an extra warfare notice, and Amur was also expelled when he gave a name like a story.
Yoshitsune is nostalgic to me because Sana and the others were listening to those stories. But on the other hand, he doesn't feel comfortable with Blanca, his real father... or thinks he's a scary person.
The reason for this is that I see it in the Martial Arts Games, which I watch every year since Yoshitsune was born.
In the games of the year Yoshitsune was born, Blanca has scored what she said was second in personal, second in pairs, and second in team. In pairs, he joined Amur, and in teams, he joined the Southern superiors.
Normally, it seems like I could win one of them, but in the personal battle, me and Grandpa in the pair, "Oracion" with Grandpa and Amur added was the most popular on the team, and Blanca was all the most popular. And the tournament became as popular as it was. The next year's tournament, by the way, was third in individual battles, second in pairs, and non-participation in team battles.
And this year, I couldn't compete in a pair of fights, so Blanca and Amur's pair were the most popular, but they didn't win the results. Note that the individual fights are also third, and the team is third in line with the top southern players.
Why was Yoshitsune frightened by this result, because there was a problem with the way Blanca fought.
Originally Blanca is a militant and bloody place, he's the type of guy who enjoys the fight. Besides, he wanted the tournament to have a good place to show Yoshitsune and a good mood in it.
As a result, Blanca had built up enough atmosphere during the tournament that the opponent could lose his temper of war just by facing each other. And it was such a fierce, one-sided battle that it also showed up at the game and pitied the opponent. That was the same for both the pair and the team.
Probably Blanca was the one who sold the most names in these competitions. in the sense that they scattered fear...... but still lost to me in each final.
Though it was quite a fight in terms of content, it's a complete defeat if you just look at the results. Whatever, it's three fights and three losses.
In the next tournament, which challenged that remorse, he and I were defeated in the semifinals of the personal battle. Beat me and Grandpa in the final of the pair. The team missed out on all the other members.
And in the tournament that I challenged this year, the pair gave me a chance not to compete. This is not because I didn't compete for Blanca, it was just before the qualifying round and my grandfather got so tight. The other party could not be replaced on the occasion that the boulder would begin in the next few minutes, and it became a careless retire. It should be noted that for some reason a complaint to the operating side arrived about this, the aftermath of which also went to the royal family, and Grandpa was told by the Kings… especially Ernesto that he was gutsy and disgusted.
In the midst of these tournaments, the knight will be defeated in the semi-finals with solid black armor. He was a knight who had been talking about it since the qualifying round, but the fact that he fought in an unidentified and unpleasant way made a fuss that there had been a huge wave... he was someone I knew very well, and the "appraisal" made me know who he was.
The identity was Mr. Din, known as the Black Lion and said to be the most powerful knight in the country. Anything said, "I couldn't compete because the blood was noisy for a long time."
Nature and Blanca became the most popular pair of fights in which they re-engaged. Blanca was sorry I didn't show up, but she was still in the mood for a chance... but Blanca and the others won a bad match in the first round of the match.
The opponent who hit it was a pair of people named Tiger Mask and Masked Knight...... well, the identity was Hannah and Chris...... I had noticed thinly since qualifying, but Blanca and Amur, who were floating with the arrival of the winning opportunity, took an unexpected form and were defeated abruptly. In terms of content, it was a development that Hannah defeated Blanca while Chris held Amur back and bobbed Amur two-on-one. The two went straight to the final and grabbed the win.
And in the team matches, there was an overlap between 'oration' and winning defeat in the semifinals, and bad luck and alarm. If you had noticed the identity of your opponent beforehand in a pair of fights, you might have had an eye for reversal...
"So, what are you doing there?
With Blanca leaving, there were two people who didn't, while the soothing atmosphere was returning around Yoshitsune, who resumed snack time. In the meantime, a woman drinking from the high hours of the day...... spoke to Chris, one of the winners of this year's pair of fights. The other, by the way, is Amur, still suffering from suppressing the fingers hit by Blanca. Maybe there's an anomaly in the bones of my fingers, so I'll even magic it later. Until then, you deserve it, so let's have a reflection.
"I don't have a lot of shit. I thought if I won, I'd give it back, but I'm not gonna talk about a lot of shit!"
"Again..."
The reason Chris participated in this tournament was to find a Zubari lover. Anything. Over the past few years, the same period and colleague marriages have continued, and they're finally getting closer to the oldest single woman in the Knights. By the way, he says the oldest so far is in his forties, but the woman didn't count because she broke up with her husband, and there are four to five other unmarried women over Mr. Chris, but you think they all have lovers?
"Why are you so stupid to come to me! Even when the same age comes by occasionally, you don't have a bad reputation, you're looking for money, you're a caregiver for your parents... you're not just a real bastard!
"I just don't have the body... excuse me, you didn't have enough to be proud of in the first place"
When I was wondering how to speak, Aina, who appeared from behind me, said something I shouldn't have said to Chris... well, it was deliberate.
"Even Aina is something similar! What are you talking about from the top!
"I'm more rude than you are."
"It won't change! And you don't have a girlfriend!
"... Phew."
Aina laughing with her nose in response to Chris's point. Chris, who sees it, has eyes like he sees something incredible.
"No way, you..."
"Here's the thing."
What Eina showed me was a ring embedded in her left hand pharmacopoeia.
"Aina......"
It was Aina showing off her rare Doya face to Chris, whose voice got smaller...
"I don't have the idea of buying my own engagement ring because I can't have any lovers..."
Mr. Chris was donning.
"Even me in the boulder, I haven't fallen that far Wow... Eina, you're tired, gube!
Before Mr. Chris finished, Aina slammed the basin she had in her hand into Mr. Chris' face.
"Chris is bad for the boulder right now... by the way, I really do have a girlfriend in Aina. I promise I won't give you a name, but I've seen you before."
Before Mr. Chris broke out, I took the lead and exposed Eina's lover.
"Damn... God is dead... or was God a bastard too..."
Chris with a look of despair and falling to the floor...... or I feel the use of that word is wrong, and if it is the goddess of love who presides over love in the first place, she will not die. Instead, I might have turned it to the enemy in my current statement.
Ignoring Chris, who fell on the floor as if he were dead, and Aina, who had Chris on his proud face, I decided to continue the snack.
By the way, Aina's lover and I are talking about Mr. Din, and she hasn't been able to make it through marriage because of her age difference and her position. And it wasn't only Mr. Chris who was damaged that Aina had a lover, but also Aura, who was listening away. Later, for some reason, Jeanne too.
"Welcome"
In the meantime, Yoshitsune finished his snack and headed towards the library.
"Speaking of which, how long are you planning to stay this year?
"Right... I'm thinking about going back south in less than a week. This year, I'm thinking about showing Yoshitsune all sorts of things on my way home, because I also have my sister's winning celebration."
After getting to know Hannah and the others, he told them to use us when he came to Wang Capital. Last year and the day after the tournament, he stayed nearly a month. Sometimes Hannah won the pair this year, and he said he could only stay about half of the time.
Just in case, I asked him if he wouldn't take Chris, one of the pair's cracks, but because Chris belongs to the Kingsguard, he said it's hard to go to other aristocratic territories alone. This seems to be what Mr. Chris himself said.
(If you had all that track record, you would be able to do about a lover in the south...)
In the South, where there are many personalities who prefer the powerful, it's no surprise that the winners of the tournament are treated like idols. Besides, it would be all the more so if they had joined forces with their own top.
"Really, Chris, you're missing somewhere. If you really want a lover, if you go south now, you'll have to choose."
You've read my thoughts, and you're looking at Mr. Aina with such eyes as to see the unfortunate child. By the way, Aura, who has received the most of that gaze so far, still remains solidified.
"I'm home now"
As I was observing Eina and Chris falling on the floor, I heard voices coming from the front door.
"Looks like Amy's back. That means the other two are together?"
Almost at the same time as I squealed, the dining room door opened up in momentum. It wasn't Amy who opened the door, it was Luna who was following Amy.
"Dear Luna, I can't help it."
That's what Aina says and despises, but Luna doesn't seem to care much. Recently, Maria and the others moaned that strange things were resembling the King and Master Lyle.
"Brother, I'm hungry ~"
Luna comes to me just the whole time and goes for the snack that was on the table.
"Get dressed and wash your hands."
When I moved the dish on the snack away from Luna and watched out for Luna, Luna went to the room she was securing for herself, even though she said she bumped.
"Doctor, I'm home now. The request was a success."
"That was good. I have a snack, so get dressed first. And Tida."
With that said, Amy and Tida also headed to their room.
Amy and Teeda are at an inexorable age to sign up for the adventurer's book this year. Well, Amy, anyway, when Teeda gets the request, someone in the Kingsguard goes to the guild ahead of time to pick out a safe and well-identified request. Tida doesn't like it, but it seems reluctant because it is the condition put out by Caesars when they become adventurers.
In other close adventurer related stories, me and Jin are up to S-rank, Blanca is A-rank, and Amur is up to B-rank.
In addition to his track record as an adventurer over the past few years, Jin is credited with reaching the lower level of what appears to be Seigen's dungeon (...), and Blanca and Amur are also ranked up in recognition of their track record and previous adventurer activities.
And when I say that, in addition to the current unbeaten record of the tournament and the past destruction of dragon zombies, it was evaluated that three years ago the Land Dragon Crusade, and two years of the Walking Dragon Crusade, attacked an undiscovered dungeon.
Ryu happened to encounter Nanao when he went to visit him and crusaded alone, and the undiscovered dungeon strategy, when he visited Nanao again last year at another request, discovered a dungeon about ten floors underground in the middle of a mountain a short distance away, and attacked him as he did.
As a dungeon, there was no such thing as a strong demon in the younger category (which is still thought to be decades old), and the demon of the boss at the bottom (which was a man-made golem) was no big deal, but the undiscovered dungeon left the ore and other resources untouched, so the economy of the south (especially Nanao) skyrocketed, and the aftermath spread to the Wang capital. And that was the deciding factor for promotion to the S-rank. It was quite a rush to upgrade, but it was hard to improve the ranks of other adventurers if you didn't keep me in the top ranks, and every time you made something remarkable, the ranks went up.
"Oops ~"
It was Luna, as expected, who came back first. With his mid-fifties cm tall, he has grown in appearance (other than his chest) in three years, but the contents have not changed much...... or I feel he has become more and more like the King and Master Lyle. Because of this, whenever I see Maria and Isabella, I teach them to be sober... and they talk to me about whether I can educate them. Well, every time they ask, they say, "I can't, give up," but you two can't seem to give up.
"Luna, your mother and aunt are going to piss you off again!
Teeda, who then returned, grew up to be as handsome as she had made Master Caesar young. He's also approaching a hundred and seventy cm tall, and the difference with me (by the way, my current height is in my late 170's) is shrinking, and he's going to be pulled out soon. Recently, for the first time, he was hot in school and in aristocratic gatherings, but since he still seemed like Amy and was blind to other women (Luna talks), there was talk about whether to engage Amy as the adopted son of some aristocrat in a royal discussion with the exception of Tida and Luna (Lyle talks). By the way, the two of you who leaked that information to me were each caged by Tida and Maria.
Doctor, this is a souvenir.
The last time Amy came back, she held a cage filled with mushrooms picked in the woods she headed to ask for. When I brought it home before, it was just poisonous mushrooms, but this time it was just the kind of thing I could eat properly, so it looks like I've studied it well since then.
Amy has grown a little too tall to reach a hundred and sixty cm, but her breasts seem to be bigger in her age, and occasionally Tida looks at her flickering. Luna seems pretty jealous of this growth, she's been eating all dairy lately and breaking her stomach a lot. By the way, he seems to have noticed Teeda's favor, but so far he has a strong sense of being a good friend (Luna talks). It should be noted that Luna, who leaked this information to me, was caged by Tida.
"Thanks. It's still early, but you're going to be able to eat enough. Will you use this for dinner today?"
With some mushroom-based recipes in mind, when I received the mushrooms from Amy, she decided that the food-responsive Shiloumal and Solomon came to peek into the contents of the cage, but not something she could eat right away, and was switching goals to snacks for Amy and the others.
"Dear Tenma, Albert and the others are here."
As Jeanne and Aura were helping me sort mushrooms and handle the bottom, Aina came to let me know that Albert and the others had arrived. When they brought me straight to the dining room because I wasn't the kind of guest to worry about anything, it wasn't just the usual three idiots who showed up, it was the three associates behind the Alberts, and there were people I've been used to seeing here lately.
