152 Search for reincarnation princess.

The straight road that draws a gentle curve extends long as if you ran a brush on a piece of paper. The fields that spread on both sides did not seem to have been planted because it was not the right time, and thin snow remained.

Some exposed soil makes a small expectation of the coming of spring, but the wind rubbing my cheeks loose was still cold, and the exhaled breath was frozen white and quickly disappeared.

When I was trying to determine the end of the narrow road, I could see the village beyond the gentle slope.

Houses lined up to protect the trees, whether they were planted as windbreaks. A small forest spread in the back, and a hilly area with white makeup continued in the back.

It is a little over five hours to be rocked by a horse from the fort. Finally we arrived at the first village.

Sigh leaks unexpectedly.

I was just nervous, but noticed that he was seen by Leonhardt-sama, and hurriedly held my mouth in my hand.

"Thanks for your good work. Let's take a break somewhere."

I smiled and was so sorry.

Because I'm not doing anything. Like Leonhardt, he doesn't remember the path or manipulate the reins of the horse. I was just swinging by a horse.

"All right……"

"Princess?"

It's OK, so let's start the survey as it is.

I wanted to say that, but I was interrupted by the calling voice. I'm laughing with a smile, but I'm a little scared.

Did you say you couldn't? Is hearing such a secondary sound a hallucination?

"Let's take a break?"

"Yes……"

I couldn't compete with a powerful smile, and nodded without force.

Puff, Leonhard, who narrowed his eyes, looked at me sweetly and softly. But the sweetness is like a teacher seeing a poor student. Or something like that, where the owner looks at a dog that he doesn't remember. I felt happy, sad, and complicated.

The horse advances with the sound of kapokapo and cute hooves.

On the road, a flock of sheep inside the fence was noticed. Yeah, there's a buzzing voice mixed with a whispering cry. I saw a white dog barking at this. However, the tail like a feather broom is shaking with no patter. I think sheepdogs are friendly, but I'm worried about their role.

An elderly man working nearby looked at us in the form of a dog's gaze. Light brown eyes with wrinkles on the corners of the eyes are astonishingly round. Next, he was narrowly shredded.

I bowed because my eyes were right, but he was embarrassed and took his hat down.

Leonhard who got down the horse pulled the reins and approached the fence.

"Hello"

"Oh, hello. ... I guess those of the journey?"

I felt that my expression and voice included a little caution.

Are travelers unusual? Or are we invisible to travelers?

"Yes, I just visited an acquaintance at the border fort."

"The Border Guard"

Uncle was apparently relieved.

The Border Guard may be a very dependable presence for those living in the surrounding villages.

"Maybe you're a knight?"

"Well, it's similar."

"I'm sure he's dressed up and he's a man I've never seen in the countryside."

Leonhardt smiled bitterly as he glanced from top to bottom.

I'm not saying it's such a big thing, but if you're not a knight, I'd like to sneak into who is a knight.

The uncle's gaze, which seems to have completely released his alert, catches me.

He smiled back and smiled back.

"Who is that person? A great beloved companion."

"Oh, this girl ..."

"Maybe your wife?"

"Yeah ...!?"

A bomb was thrown before Leonhardt answered.

He was unprepared and unresponsive. My eyes were also dots. I'm too surprised that my brain can't keep up.

We decided to determine our relationship while watching the villagers' reactions. If the age difference is too wide for my sister, my niece or daughter. I hate it. I really hate it.

But I didn't make any assumptions about being a couple.

A little ... No, I'm pretty happy. Although the age difference has not been reduced for a long time, it seems that the appearance alone has become a bit like Leonhard's neighbor.

"... I'm my sister."

After one cough, Leonhard answered. Is the cheek appearing a little red is a vision that shows my hope?

"Oh, I see. Sorry, there are quite a few couples who are as old as you here."

"I don't care. I don't look alike, and the years are so far apart that many people don't seem like siblings."

"I'm a younger sister, and I'm pretty good. I'm pretty cute."

Leonhardt nods while rubbing behind his neck, shyly.

"Yeah, yeah.

I want to start shouting.

I want to run around while screaming incomprehensible.

While talking to me, I wonder if Leonhard is shy, and I feel ashamed, happy, and smile.

Strictly speaking, it's not myself but my fictitious sister. It's just a setting. Not empty. I'm not empty.

Leonhardt looks back at me and reaches out.

"come"

"!!"

I thought that my breath would stop.

Well, in such a place, I would like Leonhard to say the words and words to enter the best ten ...

I try to pretend to be calm, but if I do not care, my expression is going to collapse.

Even `` Come on '' is cunning !?

"... Thank you, brother"

While taking care not to be suspicious of behavior, get down the horse with the help of Leonhardt.

He bowed down to his uncle watching with a good smile.

"Hello"

"Yes, hello. Or going out with the good-looking brother today?"

"Yes. He said he was going to see his friends, so he told me he couldn't do it.

I was going to play my brother's favorite sister, but I don't know where she was acting anymore or where she really was.

Looking up, Leonhardt stroked my head with a shy smile. precious.

No regrets in my life. The world may end today ...

"If you're all right in the countryside, don't be slow."

"Thank you, uncle"

While worshiping Leonhardt-sama in your heart, thank you with a cat-like smile.

"By the way, uncle. I like seeing old buildings .... I heard that there is a temple around here, where is it?"

"Is it a temple?"

Pachikuri and the uncle blinked.

After that, it becomes a subtle expression for some reason.

"Oh, there are some ..."

The uncle with a bitter smile looks back.

I am confused without understanding the meaning of the expression, and Leonhardt followed his eyes.

You can see the building on the other side of the fence, outside the village.

A stone building made of what seems to be limestone. But if not my mistake, it looks like it's in the works.

Sure, it looks like a temple.

But wait a minute. I was supposed to be looking for an old temple outside the village.

… Maybe?

I had a bad feeling and returned my gaze to my uncle.

"Sure, there was an old temple, but it was so dangerous that it was crumbled and I had to rebuild it.

Looking at me stunned, the uncle laughed in trouble as he scratched his gray hair.
