The servant, Mr. Land, sat down at one of the tables where we sat and ordered his sake. Soon after he arrived, he would lift the cup from no one.
"Now, toasting."
Discuss the cup. The vessel was wooden and made a dull noise, and we drunk a sip of sake. A cup after work is great. ……… I could say that one daytime job worked.
Rand had a nice look like a handsome old man. Rather, all of Fima's followers had a well-designed face, and Rand, the lead, was also the lead. I don't care. He feels more frightened than refreshing, whether he spares his day-to-day training, and can see a tighter body with light clothing without armor. So-called fine macho? It is one of the ideal figure of a man. If I was a woman, I was fascinated.
"First I want to say a thank you during the day. There may have been a young lady, but let me say it again. Without Kanna, we would not even be able to protect the young lady, we would have been exterminated. First and foremost, thank you. ''
I waved and answered Rand, who bowed deeply.
"That's already good. I'm getting a reasonable reward." "This is a keji problem.
I look into Real, but she just smiles and nods. I couldn't help but accepting his gratitude silently.
"And that's not to say that he came to say that alone, or did he just come purely to drink?"
Real said, putting down the bowl he was drinking. I also drink a bite of fruit liquor with citrus flavor. Good.
"I'm convinced he came to say thanks, but that's a different subject."
Right.
While I'm in order, I tighten my serious face more seriously and look at my eyes from the front. Isn't it fool-speaking at the sake table?
"Nothing else, I came to this place again to ask you to escort the young lady-Fima. This may be taken as the consensus of all the servants." "All the servants-"
It's an implicit language.
"What's the essence of the young lady?" "The young lady doesn't know that I'm here. This is my dogma. I'd like to ask the young lady if possible."
Expanding, I thought so.
"You said you'd come to a conclusion by tomorrow morning." "But that doesn't mean you'll take over the escort?" "And so you're in the midst of getting lost."
I was always lost before you came.
"... I mean the lady, I asked you for escort, but you wouldn't expect to get a good answer. We agree. You won't be assured if you're a person, but you're rather trustworthy if you didn't immediately give your consent. "
Even if the number of places is the number of places, it is a back alley fight.
"I'm half give up, why is Rand-san here?"
Wet dry lips with sake.
"I guess it's just that he's taking things seriously, Rand." "... We and the young lady are the same perception."
Land who nods heavily to Real's words.
"Fima-sama is from a noble house, and those who seek it out will probably have the number of stars. In fact, there have been several attempts at assassinations and kidnappings like this. "Take home"
Oh, that's what I said.
Real touches his forehead to reduce headaches.
"... sometimes you're scary and honest from time to time." "No, he says. In fact, the raid was a jeopardy of the young lady if she made a mistake, and she really cares about her. If so, that would be the best, but ………… ”
There is a lot of power in the hand that holds the container on the table. To put intricate thoughts inside.
"... We want to fulfill the wishes of the young lady, because this is his last selfishness."
From there it was almost as expected.
Fima is 18 years old this year (older !?). A story of marriage has been raised for her, who was born as a daughter of a noble. She is rather late in an aristocratic society that is usually married at the age of sixteen. At least they are engaged. But she seems to have hit it.
"The young lady, who had an extraordinary talent as a magician, was also very interested in foreign magic, but there was a limit to her knowledge of books alone. It's difficult to get a book itself. ''
I have learned only roughly, but magic has its own system depending on the country. Even magic that has the same effect differs from country to country in the composition of the techniques that make it up. I can't use magic, I can only imagine, but maybe there is a difference that Americans pronounce Japanese. If the composition is different, there are also weak points and differences in scale and casting speed.
"Once the marriage is made, the young lady is further bound by the house. That's why Fima made a request to her father, Hey, who wanted to learn foreign magic before marriage. But, as I said, many people are looking for a young lady, and I couldn't help getting her and her daughter out of the country. "
I don't know where you are, but it's a good decision.
"I see, I see."
Real nodded as if the joint had gone.
"Did you not deal with the engagement and your freedom?" "Yes. If you don't approve, until you leave."
………… How about that?
"That's right. In return for learning magic, she offered her to accept her long-held engagement, even if she didn't accept her, she would join the church and become a sister. Rather than prolong the postponement of the marriage, if you promise to talk about the marriage after the fact, you can feel safe as a parent. "
"... I'm a young lady with the ability to act."
I can only tell.
"Indeed, it's not just a greenhouse-grown lady who runs it, not threatening complaints."
I and Real were half-amazed.
"That's why we want to end this journey at least safely. When this trip is over, Fima-sama is in a tight marriage. That's why we volunteered to go on this journey "" Is it worth it to put your life there? "" At least we think so "
A loved Fima lady. And have a honest impression.
It is a sad place in the world that this is not a simple story.
No matter where you go, it's about the surroundings of Fima, and we're outsiders no matter where you go. Even if it's a story full of tears, there is no reason to get involved.
I don't have a step.
"To be honest, there is a desire to fulfill her wish as the same woman. In different situations, it's not foolish to help me."
Real turns to me while saying. If you weren't traveling with me, it would have taken on.
…………………………………………………….
After spending about five minutes summarizing my thoughts, I decided.
Let's shout to Rand just in my heart for being cowardly.
"I guess you've taken care of Miss Fima's escort."
After Rand raised, I and Real were ordering a second glass of sake. Of course, the answer to him is "yes." Promised to sign a contract with some additional terms. Originally, the balance was skewed. The story told by Rand stabbed it there.
"Somehow," "You're a man who's more righteous than you think, otherwise you wouldn't want to take me out of a castle in that situation, and help your daughter in the foot village. I don't want to go, even though I'm complaining in my mouth, I can't help but ask for help. "
Turning away from Real, I fuel the sake. Stronger alcohol burns my throat and heats my stomach. Despite being sullen, he acknowledged in real terms what Real was saying.
To be honest, I don't think we'll have any connection with that strange magical power unless the story of the gamer rolls in. I was penetrating without me. If he had faced that magical power without encountering him, he would have chosen to avoid it as much as possible.
Nevertheless, he probably took advantage of the power of spiritism. Even if I am incompetent, that power can help someone.
If you can do it, you have the wishes you want, and you have the will to do it, you don't have to hesitate there.
-Just a glance.
That strange magic and I had the foresight that we might have various relationships from here on. I immediately denied it.
………… It was a fleeting hope after all.
