149 Kitakami, the reincarnation princess.

"...?"

Looking back, I felt like someone called me.

Eyes met Leonhard, who had a mysterious face, and he tilted his head.

"What's happen?"

"No, nothing."

There was Leonhard's face in a position that could be called a close distance, and I was so surprised that my heart was likely to pop out of my mouth.

Why did I lose my mind?

Because I'm riding two people on a horse, it's decided close.

The heartbeat that had begun to calm down over a long period of time became cumbersome again.

Place your hand gently on your chest and repeat breathing quietly.

"Are you cold?"

"It's okay"

I can't say it's hot, but give a safe reply.

"If you get closer to the border, the temperature will drop further than it is now. Please do not overdo it and tell me properly?"

I was peeped in and was pressed.

"Yes"

The serious expression is cool again, and the heat starts to gather on the face. I pulled the hood part of the mantle to cover it and covered it with my eyes.

Itchy itch on fur cheeks.

In many ways, I don't feel like I can live until the end of the journey ...

No, are you happy? I'm happy, right?

The durability of the heart is being tested against Leonhard's oversupply. I'm scared because I'm too happy, but it's no real physics.

You can see that your own cheek that touched him had heat.

Why is the wind blowing cold, but why is it warm?

Look at the scenery from the top of the horse traveling while screaming with the sound of a kapo kapo.

There was a slight amount of snow on the side of the compacted road, mixed with leaves. On the other side of the gentle hill, the steep mountains that rise like walls are full of snow and white.

As we go further north, as Leonhard says, it gets even colder.

I and Leonhard are now aiming for a fort along the Raptor border.

I'm going to see Leonhard's old friend, Captain of the Border Guard.

Nebel has a lot of land with a mild climate, but the northern part is moderately cold. In particular, the area with the fort where the Border Guard resides is snow-covered throughout the winter. Although spring is getting closer on the calendar, the thaw is still far away.

I have taken measures against the cold.

The navy blue simple dress is made of wool. The boots are also made of wool on the inside, and they are warm. The cloak-type cloak is a thick fabric with fur on the hood and hem. The underwear has come in perfectly.

It's a bit painful to swell in front of your favorite person, but it's better than a cold to bother you. As usual, women's strength is crawling at the bottom of the ground.

By the way, the hair is dyed again this time. The color is black so that Leonhard looks like a relative.

It should be a familiar color as a Japanese, but when I looked in the mirror I felt awkward. Probably, because of the same hair color, I think that the difference from my mortal face in the previous life was outstanding.

Leonhardt has a black high neck and a gray surcoat. Belts and boots were unified in dark brown. The cloak is thick for winter, but without fur like me. They are arranged in dark shades and are simple but cool ...!

Although the band of the usual Guard Knight is Hanamaru, it looks cool, but this outfit has another advantage. I want to see more different looks. I think folk costumes like the Kuah would also look good.

I was dreaming about Leonhard's folk costume, and suddenly remembered Wolf and Lily.

While I was in the castle, none of the Kuahs came. It takes time not only to pack but also to move, but I really wanted to meet you. I was thinking of hugging Lily, "Welcome home." I was supposed to say "I'm right now" with a shy face ...

"Princess?"

As I fell down, Leonhardt called me with a worried voice.

"Isn't it cold? Or are you tired?"

"No, no! It's not cold and I'm fine!"

Shake his head in a hurry, but Leonhardt's expression looking into me is not clear.

"Let's take a break"

"No, that's fine, really."

"No, no. Traveling on an unfamiliar horse puts more strain on your body than you think."

I'm certainly not very used to traveling by horse.

But I am a non-standard princess who has gone over the mountains on foot from a cruise trip. I think it's pretty durable based on the deep window daughter.

But Leonhard-sama was a verbal act.

When I got out of a little open place, I stopped the horse and laid a cloth on a rock that seemed good to sit down and sat me. Even after connecting the horse to the tree, it takes care of everything, such as sitting on a lap or toweling.

While receiving the offered drink, I felt complicated.

"... Leon-sama"

"Yes?"

Leonhardt, who answers, stands casually in my windshield.

Hmmmm. I'm glad, I'm glad ...

"Are you a little overprotected?"

Leonhardt's eyes were rounded as if he had been hit by emptiness. He then swung his gaze to the upper right, following his past, and rubbed his chin with his finger.

Did you have no awareness?

"Is that so?"

I nodded to him muttering confidently.

Leonhardt is with you as my escort, not a servant.

I'm sorry to take care of me and I can't stand being I'm a princess, but I can do as much as I can around myself.

In addition, if treated very carefully, I remember when I was only treated as a princess. I'm sorry to have to try again even though I got closer.

I can't help exposing all such real intentions, but I can tell some places. Then Leonhardt was in trouble.

"Is it troublesome?"

"No, it's not! I'm sorry ..."

"If so, don't worry"

Once that is said, it is difficult to refute.

Does Leonhardt like taking care of you? I heard that there were many brothers below, and they showed good care in the game.

I think this is a reward, and is it correct to enjoy it? I'm really nervous, but will you get used to it someday ...?

But, knowing or not knowing me who struggles in my heart, Leonhard has thrown a bomb.

"I think it's fun to take care of you."

"!?"

I was about to blow out the water I was drinking.

I want someone to praise you for being satisfied.

I want to squeeze in what it means, but if you look at Leonhardt who smiles with no smile, the answer is like.

This person probably just loves taking care of younger ones. I do not treat me specially. I'm not playing with a girl's heart.

But as a maiden in love is complicated, please forgive me for seeing grudges.
