13 Thirteen stories: Drowning in a ploy.

I can't get a numb in the middle of a round trip with a school uniform on a boulder.

Me and Gran, dressed in private clothes, went out through the gates of the school to the crowded castle town.

"Look, Too Eight. There are many beauties in the Wang capital. But... that's why they're used to being deceived, so it's not a glimmer."

Gran said, observing people going out with a serious eye.

"The trick to numbing in the King's Capital is to dress like we're used to it. I mean, 'oh, you know, this guy's been doing the same thing before,' makes me think. Doing this in the country will curse you as' no moderation ', but the woman in Wang Capital trusts you the other way around. You know?"

"Well, somehow..."

There are many men and women in the Wang capital who have been tarnished - in other words, many are tolerant of exchanges between heterosexuals.

Playing such a nappa master in that king's capital will overshadow past achievements such as "I've entertained all kinds of women so far". That's why they think, "You might enjoy being this guy."

"Take a look first. I'll show you an example."

That's how he went and Gran walked out flustered.

And I speak to a woman about twenty who passes in front of me.

"Lady there, can I have a word?

"Yes? What is it - Hino!? You pervert!?

"No, I'm a pervert. Bye."

"Don't come!

Bachin, and. Gran took a heavy slap.

Gran drops off the woman walking away with a flutter and footsteps in a grim manner.

"Hey. What kind of example is that? You're the quickest example I've ever met to be vindicated?

"... Again, I'm coming"

Gran falls into the crowd again.

But once again, he was flat-handed.

I was distrustful of Gran, who came home so depressed.

"Gran. For once I ask... have you ever been successful?

"No... I do. There must be. It's in my head. Then it was a success now."

Gran says as he drops his shoulder.

Does that mean that it has only succeeded in delusions?

"How was your last time? You must have been nabbed in the king's capital before, right?

"... it feels similar. Oh, I thought you two would change your mind a little bit... Was that sweet?"

Apparently, he's never been successful.

What do you mean, "I'll untie you!". Unexpectedly zero sigh.

"So it's Too Eight's turn next. Go for it."

"What is' so '? I was going to use that as a reference because Gran was confident."

"Think about it. You think there's a woman who's gonna be caught by my looks?

I'm not there...... I guess.

Gran is one way or another a face classified as aesthetic. But more strictly, it's more of a strong side than a beauty shape, and it's a big, intimidating one. I don't think it's for Napa.

- Do you want to try a little more than you've come this far?

I feel half abandoned, but this is also a life experience.

"... ok. I'll try, too."

"Oh, it's a boulder, Too Eight! If it's going to work, introduce me at an affordable time!

Could that have been the purpose from the beginning?

With that in mind, I look for the opposite sex in the guise of nature.

With that said, even when I was in the institution, I had a colleague who liked Napa. Reminds me of the pussy he's been mouthing from day to day. "Napa is intelligent and advanced communication," "It's harder to gain the other person's trust in a conversation with the premise of intent than to kill, honestly," "Bad guys assume Napa is a bullet. But a good guy knows he's fishing for a number." "The point is, let him swim, wait for a gap."

"Um, excuse me"

I make up my mind and speak to the woman who wanted to pass by.

"... what is it?

The woman looked openly suspicious of this one.

Whatever you say is unlikely to earn your trust as it is. When you're worried about the next word-- fuh, the piercings a woman wears get in her eyes.

"Is that piercing, from the Kingdom of Arkedia?

"Huh? Well, yeah... you know what?

"Yes, I used to be in the Arkedia kingdom."

When I told her that, the woman clearly relieved the tension.

- As far as it goes. By letting you swim, you mean making it natural?

I may have figured out the trick.

Now all we need is a cut to make her into nature.

I observe women and notice new facts again.

Slight but muddy on the shoe. It was only two days ago that it rained in the Wang capital. The whole city is already thirsty, so if it's going to get muddy, it's only outside the walls. The fact that outside the walls are muddy confirms this morning during a routine run.

Perhaps the woman noticed the mud on her shoes and tried to wipe them diligently. There are some traces left, but there are traces that I tried to wipe carefully. But there is also a slight personality. Because she misbuttoned her clothes. It's not a prominent place like the chest, it's a discreet place around the umbilicus. It's not impossible not to notice, but I wouldn't make that mistake if I had a slight personality.

I mean, she's a personality who doesn't care so much about her appearance. Despite this, only the dirt on my shoes is carefully removed. From what I've seen, I can't even say it's expensive to flatter, it's either cheap shoes. Doesn't mean it's a giveaway of a lover, either. It is not used up, so it is not a thought-provoking product.

Even better, there were thin red marks on the woman's arms. As if I had been lifting heavy baggage for a long time......

"... Could it be that you're here to sightsee the royal castle?

When asked, the woman opened her eyes.

"Yes. Yes, on the occasion of the victory, I heard that some spaces were open..."

"Yeah, it's certainly open.... Have you arrived in Wangdu today? It would have been far from the kingdom of Arkedia."

"That's right. Besides, it looks like yesterday's rain made the road worse, the carriage is delayed, the shoes are dirty with mud, and I've had a rough time. I just left my stuff at the inn."

Subjectively, this woman was no longer in unlimited proximity to nature.

Then the next thing I know... I'll drop a fishing needle.

"You're certainly still muddy outside the walls.... Excuse me, but you do have dirty shoes"

"Oh, right. Um, after all, should I stop going into the royal castle with these shoes? I removed as much dirt as I could..."

It took.

"... Perhaps so. Even though it's open to tourists, it's the right royal castle.... If you don't mind, can I show you to a shoe shop nearby?

"Huh? Yes, okay?

"Yes, to tell you the truth, I spoke to you because the piercing caught my eye. The Arkedia Kingdom is a thoughtful place for me, but I haven't been home in a long time. Just on the way to the shoe store. So if you don't mind if I talk to you about the Arkedia Kingdom these days?

"Yes, if that's about it, as much"

I smile as well as I can at a smiling woman.

Give me this far, and Napa will have succeeded as well.

I just learned how to accomplish it, and I look at Gran staring at this one in a flash from earlier.

"Excuse me. Actually, I have a friend, is he okay?"

"It's okay."

With forgiveness, I invited Gran.

Then - a big man with a scratch on his cheek approached with a spooky grin on the level that the suspicious man would also dongle.

"So hehe! Hi! It's Gran!

"Hih!?

The woman was terribly frightened by Gran, who quickly came with a large strand.

She looks at me and Gran alternately, and then she turns pale.

"Su, su, excuse me! I knew it was me, when I didn't want to!

The woman hastily walked away.

"... hey"

"... sorry"

Gran apologized with a look of sorry.

"But Tuate. You're so talented. I'm pretty freaked out, to be honest, about success in the first shot."

"I myself am surprised.... maybe he lived his work experience"

"Work? Uh... enough to be done. A city cleaner is like a business. So you're saying that the rhetoric you cultivated there lived in Napa?

"Well, that's the place"

Something slightly different but similar.

Some of the agencies used the technique as a weapon, but I never learned the technique professionally because I focussed on noisy assignments such as assassinations, escorts, and captivity. Exquisite, as much as I learned the art of disguise.

It wasn't talking, it was insight that helped.

Originally a technique I developed to spot dark vessels hidden in their clothes, etc., but I didn't expect to live in a place like this.

"Goddamn it. I wish I'd worked like that, too."

Gran says.

Perhaps in the case of Gran, going through customer business would be difficult to numb.

"... one more time, let's go"

"Tweet! It's a boulder! I've never been better friends with you than I am now!

"I'm in the mood to stop your friend now."

Again, looking for the target, saying, etc.

I was a little curious to ride because I grabbed a response with a first shot numb to remember.

"Oh, Too Eight. She's so cute, isn't she?

Follow Gran's gaze and I'll see the person, too.

I don't see much around here, she was a silver-haired girl. Her hair and skin are white, and the clothes she wears are clear white. The girl as beautiful as a snow fairy often stood out in the castle town that this man had ruined.

"He does look neat... but isn't that a kid?

"No. That was just slow growing up and I saw it was roughly the same age as us"

"Even if that's the case, it's not good enough for a boulder to nag that sighted eye."

"My taste goes from cradles to graveyards.... it's a corner, go ahead. I'll stop it when it's too dangerous."

Gran tells me so, reluctantly approaching the girl.

But...... I've only seen the sides yet, but I feel like they look familiar.

"Um, excuse me"

The girl looks back when she speaks.

I got the impression that being small goes hand in hand with being very dear. But the core seems to be thick, and suddenly the guy I met called me out, but he doesn't look like he's moving at all.

"Yes. What is it?"

The girl was natural from the start.

Stuck a little in the next word. Perhaps this girl is what Gran used to call a "woman used to numbing". The girl was like a smart fish who could swim leisurely, even in a dripping lake of fishing needles.

Sudden difficulty.

But that's why it's worth getting over.

Just talk about it here. I was having a little fun with Napa.

"Is there a place around here where you can sit and rest?

"A place to sit and rest......?

"Yes. Actually, I'm still in Wang Du and the sun is shallow... I don't have a land survey around here. So, while I was lost, I got tired of walking."

"Then head straight down Central Avenue, then head right at the corner of the poke, and you'll have just the right store."

"Uh, what's Central Street... was it that way?

"No, that way in the opposite direction...... oh, sorry. You're in trouble because you don't have a land survey, right? Um, would you like me to show you?

It became more of a thought stream than I expected, so I gut pose inside.

"Is that okay?

"Yes, because you must not leave those in need alone"

"Thank you.... By the way, do you have any plans for today?

"? No, nothing in particular"

"Then it's a corner, so let me thank you a little when I get to that store. I'll take whatever I want."

"Uh..."

Shit, did you attack too much?

Maybe we should have talked about the thank-you a little later.

Thinking of it that way, the girl lowered her head with a pepper.

"Oh, um, excuse me. Can I talk to a friend?

"Friends?"

I tilt my neck at the girl's words.

That's when I saw signs of people behind my back.

"- Wouldn't that be nice?

In a chilling tone, the person says.

Ahead of looking back, there was a look at the girl I was used to seeing.

"You'll luxury whatever you want, won't you? Hey, Tweet."

The girl with chestnut hair - Elysia - said with a horrible grin.
