39 05 Stories: Kinds Call Friends

After school.

As usual, the four of us solidified and dropped out of school.

"Shit, let's go home."

"We've all been waiting for you to go home?

"Evil, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Ha... you're sleeping in class."

Elysia glances blamefully at Gran, who hurries to put her luggage in her bag.

"But classes have been getting fuller lately, and as soon as you get distracted, you're going to be left behind,"

As Mize smiled bitterly, Elisia hammered "sort of," relaxing her anger.

I watched them like that in silence.

"Mr. Tweet?

Mize tilts her little neck and looks at my face.

"What?

"No, because... it seemed like something was on my mind"

"It's my fault."

No - you were right.

Usually it's possible to delude yourself with a light joke, but now your head is so stuck that you can't do it.

I didn't know the girl in front of me was the princess of a neighbouring country.

If Gran or Elysia found out, how would they react?

Imagining the two of us being so amazed, I remembered a conversation I had with Chris a while back.

◆

"Your Royal Highness's name is Meesheliase-Alkedia. The school goes by the name of Mize-Hoens. '

As soon as I heard the name, I suddenly felt like my feet had collapsed.

More than Chris called me "28," I had temporarily forgotten myself as a student and regained myself when I was an institutional soldier. But I had no idea at this time that the name of someone I knew would come up. It's also - it's no exaggeration to say it's a symbol of everyday life for me right now, I was one of my friends.

28 peels off and overflows my emotions as a too-eight.

Why Mize? I can't help but think so.

- Or again (...).

Following the last Elisia, now it came with Mize.

Are all my friends just problem children?

"Let me ask you something. Chris... do you know anything about my friendship?

"Your friendship? No, I don't know... but Elysia is an exception. I wonder if your friend I know is about her."

"Right... right"

Apparently, that's not what I did for it.

As for Elisia, Chris also knows because she was also a central figure in Roberto's assassination plot last month. But I don't know about Mize.

"The ideal is that you are already friends with Her Royal Highness, but I don't want that much from a boulder.... Even though it's a secret, you should be somewhat more face-to-face than escort. I don't get suspicious when it's better.... First we have to figure out a way to make contact with Her Royal Highness. '

"... Chris, calm down and listen to me"

"What?"

Mize is my friend.

".................. huh?

Chris leaked a weird voice.

"Uh, a little? Is that true?

"Oh."

"Yep... you, hey... your friend... yep..."

I'm sure Chris is doing his hand on his forehead right now.

A face floated in her brain like she chewed up her bitter bug.

'Um... a little more, can't you hang out with a normal kid?

"Occasionally, the people you get along with, they're all like that. What? I'm not bad."

"... people call their friends."

"Did I say something?

"No, nothing"

Maybe they said something, but I didn't hear it very well.

'I'm a little too stuttered to turn my head... but I need to be sure to share this kind of information in the future. Anyway, this is lucky. As soon as you're done communicating, start escorting me. The enemy is already in motion. "

Copy that.

"And since this is an official Bureau assignment, your partner (...) is also licensed to use it. It should be in your room by the end of the day."

"That helps"

Honestly, I doubt I'll have a chance to use a sniper wand on a escort mission, but I'm still relieved that I have a weapon on hand that I'm used to. It's the sex of a soldier who's been on the battlefield for years.

"Good luck."

Just like when I was a soldier in the agency.

Chris wrapped up the communication.

Finish your recap and see Mize again.

On second thought - I had several thoughts.

I had always thought that the work clearly represented a virtue of growing up and would definitely be an upper-class person at least. I didn't expect a boulder to even be royal, but it's never disproportionate. In this way, as far as it goes, she has developed the character that a princess of a country deserves.

"Oh, I'm not sure about tomorrow's quiz. … soaked overnight today"

"I just studied with a burning blade and it doesn't make sense. By the time I finished my final exam, I'd forgotten everything."

"Elisia is amazing, isn't she? Nearly full of practical skills and seating... I'm good at seating, but if you're practical, it's a tease..."

Listen to the conversation between the three of you and think about your future plans.

Protect the Mize without the Mize finding out.

It's a little difficult, but - I have to do everything I can to escort her, more than just have people after her.

Because I got the assignment as 28 - not just.

This is also my intention as a too-eight.

- Something that collapses.

I'll make sure we keep our routine.
