CH 46

«Bye, brother ! Come back soon, okay?»

"Yes, I will. I'll do my best to get home as soon as possible. "

Mel looked like she was about to cry and hugged me.

I patted her on the back and called to her gently.

Father, who had been watching the scene, coughed deliberately.

", we'd better get going."

"Yes, I understand. Mel, I'll be back soon, okay?"

"Yes. ......"

Mel looked as if she was about to say goodbye, trying her best not to shed a tear.

I was aware of my father's concern for Mel who had a worried look on his face.

I muttered Mel something in her ear.

Mel immediately shook her head and hugged father's leg.

"Father , come back soon, okay?"

Mel looked up with tear-stained eyes and looked at Father's face.

He looked at her with a smile on his face, and it was hard not to imagine that he looked like an arrow with a heart stuck in his chest.

I think the time of all the people present who saw that face instantly froze with a "pish".

Father picked up Mel, who was hugging his leg, and said with a smile on his face

"I'll be back as soon as I can,"

"Really? Father , you'll be back as soon as you can."

The two person did a "finger-slicing maneuver," and Father slowly lowered Mel from his arms to the ground.

I was a little surprised to learn that this world also had "finger-snipping-.maneuver"

At that moment, I saw Sandra, who had come to see me off.

Sandra noticed my look on her, smiled at me, came up to me, and said in my ear, .

"Master Rid, the stake that sticks out gets hammered down, so please be the stake that sticks out as fr as possible ".

'No,, more talk about that. I'd rather you take care of mother, please."

"I understand. I will protect her with my life."

She talked about me in a playful way, but when it came to mother, Sandra's face tightened up and she said with a serious expression on her face.

I wish she was always that serious.

"You thinking about something rude again ?"　I'm always serious, remember?"

"......, I didn't think about it."

Sandra grinned at me and said as usual, "Master Rid is easy to understand."

By the way, behind the carriage that my father and I ride in, there is another carriage.

It is a horse-drawn carriage of the Christie Trading Company.

The carriage in which a group ride is for passengers, while the one in which Chris rides is a covered cart that carries a large amount of luggage.

It also seemed to be loaded with luggage that was supposed to be used for Renalute's business negotiations.

Chris seems to be discussing with the escort knights the movement of the carriage, the position of the escort, and the formation of the escort.

Chris seems to be busy, so I think it would be better not to talk to her right now.　

I thought so, and I kept my eyes on him.

I took a deep breath, said "I'm off," to everyone who had come to see me off, and got into the carriage.

The carriage in which I boarded was followed by my father, who also boarded the carriage and sat down opposite me.

Then Diana, who was outside, put her hand on the open door and said,

"I will close the door."

"Yes."

I replied, and Father shook his head.

After confirming this, Deanna closed the carriage door.

After that, Rubens' voice echoed around the area.

"We are leaving for Renaloute, ".

At the same time as the sound of Rubens' voice, the carriage began to shake lightly.

As soon as the carriage started moving, I called out to Mel from the window, "I'm off," and waved at her until I couldn't see her any longer.

Mel also waved to me loudly until she could no longer see the carriage.

That day, we left for Renalute.

It was just me and my father from the Bardia family who were going to Renalute.

The rest were Rubens, Deanna, and other people from the Order of Knights and Chris, the representative of the Christie Trading Company.

There were two carriages, one for us and one for the Christie Trading Company.

The knights were positioned around the two carriages and we were guarded by the knightly order.

I think there were quite a few people in total.

Mel was out of sight, and as I sat down in the carriage chair, I received a warning from my father, who was sitting in front of me.

"Be prepared for your first long-distance carriage ride: ......."

"　What does that mean?"

My father only smiled a mean smile like Sandra's when he heard my reply.

Tilting my head at Father's words, I said, "I'm going to get some sleep," and pretended to be asleep.

Then I cast a spell in my mind.

"Memory."

'...... Hey, Rid............. I knew you'd be calling me by now."

I muttered in my mind, and the voice of my "memory" echoed in my head.

Memory is a being that gathers necessary information from my memories if I ask for it.

And the reason I called Memory is because the other day I had asked for a favor.

The result was not so good, judging from the sound of voice.

"How is it going?　Is everything going to be ready in time?　I'm already on my way to Renalute".

......　I told you that the information you saw after you skipped the unread text was impossible, so don't get your hopes up. ......"

Well, I knew it was impossible.

Actually, he, there is a condition for the memories that can be pulled out by memory.

That is, did you "consciously remember" the memory you wanted to draw out?

When I played the game " Tokirera! which was very similar to this world, I skipped the entire storyline because I wanted to play the extra mode after clearing the main storyline as soon as possible.

I asked the other day if it was possible to do something about that memory, even if it would take a long time .

Reluctantly, Memory then said it would try, but Memory couldn't do it.

"Hmmm. Then it can't be helped, but is there anything you could pick up on in the current situation?　Anything at all?"

Memory's "ummm" echoed quietly in my head, and after a moment's pause, I heard the voice again.

'If it could be anything, could it be names or something?　It sounds like prince name is Lacis Renalute."

'So Lacis ....... Anything else?"

'Ummm. The only other thing is the face of the picture that was shown on the game screen.　He was a handsome young man.

Oh, so you were able to restore the picture of the character?

If so, you might be able to tell something about the character's personality from his face.

I told Memory that I wanted to know what he looked like.

"Well, it might be faster if you look at a standing picture,"

'Heh...... can I see a standing picture ......?'

'Well, it's a memory. It's not a subjective memory, so I don't think it's exactly the same as the real thing."

The memory is not a conscious memory, so it's not exactly the same as the original.

"Oh, great !"

What's wrong, Rid?　What's so great about it?"

Apparently, I was so shocked that my thoughts came out loud.

Father responded to my voice.

I wondered what I should do, but I decided to sleep it off and continued to talk in my sleep.

I continued to talk in my sleep

"...... phew, talking in your sleep. This way, when you look at it, he is still a child. Cute little thing."

My conscience ached a little, but I managed to cover it up.

I called out the memory again in my mind.

"What are you doing ......?"

Memory replied in a disgusted voice, "What the hell are you doing?

"I' was surprised by standing picture appeared behind an eyes like that."

"I mean, what's wrong with calling me in front of father in the first place?"

"It's true, if you ask me, that may be true."

But I was so busy that I didn't have time to talk to Memory.

"Anyway, one more time, please."

'Yes, yes. ......'

Memory replied to me with a look of dismay, and once again, a standing picture of Lacis appeared behind my eyes .

Hmm

The hair is black and the eyes are yellow.

The brown skin characteristic of dark elves.

I looked at the picture carefully to see if there was any other information I could gather

His eyes were not good.

No, they were sharp.

It was then that it occurred to me that in otome games and gal games, the eyes are sharp.

Or it's probably "tsundere character".

Of course, there are other cases.

There is also the possibility of a "coudere" or "yandere.

But "Tokirella! is a royal road story, so there is a high possibility of a "tsundere" character.

I was so convinced that I was happy with the new information I had obtained.

...... But even if I knew that, what should I do with it?

I suddenly came back to my sence .

If his personality is similar to that of a tsundere character, I should be prepared to hear the tsundere character's standard line, "Are you an idiot? "

However, being a prince means that he is the brother of the person I am going to marry .

The person who will be my brother-in-law is a tsundere.

...... tsundere.

For some reason, I felt exhausted when I found out in advance that the person who will be my brother-in-law has a "tsundere" personality.

It seems very troublesome .

However, having some idea of the personality of the person I am about to meet may give me an advantage in conversation.

I decided to look at it positively.

However, apart from what I was thinking, I was starting to feel sick.

Did I use up all my magic power in the conversation with Memory?

No, that can't be it.

Just then, I heard the voice in my head again: "

"Rid!!!"

'...... yeah, what's wrong?"

"You ...... are getting carriage sick, you better wake up soon."

'He ......?'

"I'll tell you the rest of the story another time. I'm having a hard time in my spot because you're probably intoxicated."

That was the last time I talked to Memory.

And the moment I woke up from my pretense sleep, I felt wobbly and nauseous.

...... whoops."

"Rid, if you're going to puke , do it out the window."

I did as my father said, holding my mouth with my hand and pike up out the window.

"Yuck!"

The knights smiled and looked at me warmly as I vomited out the window.

At that moment, I remembered my father's words.

"Be prepared for your first long-distance carriage ride. ......"

So this was what he meant: ......

I hated long-distance carriages from that day.

I vowed to do something to improve it.

...... ugh!
