70 Thirty-six stories: Mescheriase-Alkedia

Mize opened her eyes to me when she took off her black coat and revealed herself.

I would have understood the whole thing with this reward. I was escorting Mize, and I've killed so many raiders so far.

"I know you have a lot to ask, but can you change the place first?"

At his feet, the bodies of two men who earlier tried to grab Mize were rolling.

I can't settle down beside a body on a boulder and have a conversation.

With Mize snorting silently, I went out in the alley.

"Who are you?

The edge of the castle town. Having met in an alley where not many people would lean over, we decided to tell each other something hidden there. There are steps nearby where you can lower your hips, but I'm not in the mood to sit back and relax and bicker.

"... I can't answer that question"

"Okay, let me guess. You are a man of the special forces of the Kingdom of Terraria."

I heard Mize's guess without moving one eyebrow.

She goes on to explain to me the silence.

"I don't know the details of the troops. However, we also have intelligence in our country (...).... the contours are still unclear, but I intend to know as much as I know that the Kingdom of Terraria is operating an organization that has not been made public, and that it was sending its constituents into the war ahead.

Think of it. Your abilities are specific to combat. Especially the Arrangement of Demon Bullets using the compression that you specialize in… that only specializes in killing people no matter what you think. It won't even be the technology you get overnight. It's a tough environment, and you can look at it like you brushed your arms over time. "

"... it's a very noisy guess for a student."

"As soon as possible, we don't need to fix it. You know who I am, too."

It's only natural that they're escorting us.

I bowed my head deeply to Mize.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Meesheliase. I apologize for my disrespect so far."

"... please don't. You can do as you've always said."

I let loose the wrinkles between my eyebrows with my fingers on Mize, who told me that she looked terribly lonely.

I had thinly anticipated, but apparently he doesn't really like to be treated as a princess. Because it's me who goes to the same school.

"Okay, I'll let you do that."

"... helpful"

Returning to his original tone, Mize looked relieved from the bottom of his heart.

"The answer to the earlier question… If that's all you're confidently guessing, you won't need my answer or anything like that. I don't care if you interpret it the way you like it."

Tease appropriately.

They found out I was escorting them, but I'm not even going to reveal anything about the agency or the bureau. Whatever the case, the agency or bureau is the kingdom's largest intelligence agency, and its activities are legal and illegal. Human beings in other countries - that too, when they are known to royal daughters with strong political and military influence, even threaten to develop into diplomatic issues, at worst.

"So here's the next question. You… No, who is your client?

"... I can't even answer that question"

"Does that mean you don't know either?

"Let's just imagine"

Mize is right about this, I don't even know it myself.

Mize explains how she perceived my psyche.

"Perhaps my client is my father"

I'll round my eyes to Mize, who told me without turning my gaze on this one.

"Really?

"Yes.... Daiwa, you must have been watching your runaway daughter as Kosokoso in the shadows. Until now, I've been uninterrupted, but did you know that I was being targeted by someone and rushed to put on an escort or something?"

Mize's guess was roughly the same as mine.

I don't even know who the client is, but there are a limited number of people who can make requests to organizations in other countries. In addition, limiting ourselves to those who can benefit from helping Mize, the family of Mize - a royal human being - is listed as a candidate, if we normally think about it.

But still, there was one unexpected thing.

That's why Mize is staying in this country.

"Mize. Did I just say run away?

"Yes, I said it.... You don't seem to have been given much information about me if that's how it goes. I didn't like the restraints imposed on my royal daughter, so I ran away from home."

It was a powerful statement enough to blow the serious air so far.

I thought running away was an excuse to hide the real situation... but I didn't know it was true.

"... Her Royal Highness has been able to run away from home a lot"

"I threatened to expose the royal injustice if I didn't allow him to run away. When my father was young, he hired assassins from other countries to win the battle for succession to the throne. Also, the fact that the queen, who was not blessed with boys, secretly created an adopted son and tried to disguise it as a man. There's a lot going on."

In the contemporary Arkedia royal family, the first to give birth to a boy was the king's side chamber...... in other words, Mize's mother. The current queen must have been anxious about this and prepared her adopted son. But now it seems that the Queen has succeeded in giving birth to a man. Then what happens to adopted children who have been used? … it is reasonable to assume that it has been processed.

"You're black. Well, nobility is mostly like that.... but you could have told me that?

"Yes, because I trust Mr. Tweet."

I was hard on that statement.

Mize smiles at me in surprise.

"Excuse me. Honestly, at first, I was going to blame Mr. Tooate for not revealing who he was. But... I realized that I was the one to blame. I was the same one hiding my identity in the first place. Besides, Mr. Tweet has been protecting me all along, where I don't know....... I apologize for putting the burden on you so far. I'm ashamed that you're living in danger without realizing it."

Mize to lay down her face and give her a heartfelt apology.

I looked up at the behavior of a princess who didn't seem like a princess.

"Please don't."

I keep telling Mize to lift the face she was lying on.

"I've been fighting to protect my life. Before it was work, this was what I wanted to do. I don't feel burdened."

With that said, Mize smiled softly.

"I thought Mr. Tweet would say that... after all, I trust you"

Mize breathes deeply to calm herself.

"I'll tell you anything I know. I will work with you on anything you can to help me. So please, please. Please continue to treat me the same way as before. It's not just the tone, it's the same attitude. … I like my routine."

To the pleading Mize, I answered without distracting myself.

"I don't need to be told, I'm going to. Ning Ro, please come with me."

Did you feel comfortable with the answer?

Mize, with tears in her eyeballs, had a faint grin.
