173 longing and reality

- Punishment Day (Cynthia Perspective)

"Why... do I look like this..."

All you can give to mourn the status quo is the gaze of contempt. Everyone said, 'You dirty bastards with mud on your majesty's face!' And throw it away, and come with a scornful eye.

Until a few days ago, I had little vision of the eyes I could turn to. Yes, until a few days ago......

……

No, you're not. I unilaterally decided to be jealous, but some of them didn't.

Now I suppose that was directed at us by someone who knew what we had done.

Disgust, hatred, and... anger.

A silent appeal that it is unforgivable because you are a knight, because you are a woman.

But I think.

Am I not a nobleman? All the fallen are inferior to me. And that is not uncommon in aristocratic societies.

Why should all of us be judged?

Why do you have to do this?

The difference between me and... the nobles, ha.

Reminds me of one by one. And... I finally thought of something.

- That woman.

Illfena mage. The hateful woman that she's that guy's fiancée.

Because that woman is a guest from Ilfena. That guy takes care of me... because he's so important and he's smiling at me...!

I couldn't forgive it, I thought. Sin, punishment, home... I don't care what this country thinks of Ilfena.

I want to reward you with one arrow. That's just it. And anyway...

"... hey!

I don't know those who just mourn. I shook off my restraining arm as far as I could and ran out.

I know where that woman is from the conversation with the knights who sandwiched her ears earlier. That guy there...... also means that Master Siegfried is there.

"At a glance, in any way...!

I want to be recognized in that guy's eyes. I want to reward that woman with an arrow.

That was the only thing that moved me.

"Was this good, Master Celian"

Tickle, 'I didn't even chase Cynthia off' the knight speaks to the assistant prime minister who appeared ringing his shoes.

"You have no choice. Father... His Excellency the Chancellor has instructed me."

That being said, Celian sighed deeply.

Nothing, everything was set up.

Everything that leaked information about the Zeeks and their deliberate escape is in line with the Chancellor's aim.

'What would pigs do if they gave you the information you wanted? Don't you look around, don't you doubt, do you just run for purpose'

If you're reflecting at all, nothing will happen - to the appearance of my father, who said so and laughed, as Celian gets cold in his spine.

My father is... angry.

I've painted mud on the king's face, I've used Zeke as an excuse, I've stepped on the pride of an old friend!

I dared to prepare this farce to make it thoroughly understood, without intending to forgive me at all.

"Siegs will naturally not be relieved, but so will those little girls, hey..."

What comes to mind behind Celian's brain is Irfena's "Magic Instructor". I can be sure that that girl won't do anything angry if she finds out about this. Because this is entertainment for her.

She does not hesitate to retaliate.

She never admits Cynthia.

And she...... does not forgive those who destroy her narrow world.

Celian understood that he was a self-absorbed and horrible owner of thought. Conversely, those who fall into that narrow world will have the strongest allies.

I wondered which one I belonged to, and Fr. Celian thought. I would like to be bound in many ways, but that depends on Mizuki.

"Let's just take it slow next time. I'm also interested in cooking from different worlds."

She smiles at Celian even though she seems far harder than she can handle a wildcat. He is a friend of Clarence's and a fine kind.

To the extent that we treat unconsciously otherworldly people in the same row rather than 'heresy' and simply assess their abilities.

A few days after that commotion.

I am currently interrupting a knight's stuffing with Klaus. There are a few light desks and chairs that seem easy to carry around and I sit on one of them.

And in front of me is this report. It's not just Ilfena, it's Carlosa who needs to understand, so she's looking through it.

It should also be noted that there are several colleagues present who understand Siege because it is a large room. They are also collaborators on Carlosa's side of this disturbance, so this was also treated as work.

And the other reason they're with us is because the perpetrators will be punished today. Whatever you do, you get hit in the face... the resentful assailants flee and retaliate, what a quarantine in the sense of preventing expansion.

Since it is the beginning of a disturbance, even unintentionally, Sieg would also mean not to show and stimulate the perpetrators.

Usually the Zeeks are on assignment outside the castle in one way or another - obscure because people from other countries can't hear more about it - but they're here as my escort this time. It would also mean that Carlossa would respond in good faith because of that commotion.

Yeah, you're the one with the right material! Sieg should be doing demons, bandit crusades, etc. to keep his brain muscles, extra rubbing from happening.

Now... it's called surveillance of the Wizard. In fact, if Zeke is a guardian, it's a natural duty.

"... so Lord Nora was apologizing"

"You had a decent relative for a long time, because your parents were arrogant"

"Don't tell me that. For once, I think he said a lot."

'Miss Cynthia's grandmother was apologizing' was heard by Ms. Keith, and Miss Cynthia's ratings dropped even further in me.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I thought everyone was on her side.

However, there are aspects of sympathy when you ask about the situation with regard to your wife. If her husband, who can now give his opinion to the Lord above living apart, is already dead, it is likely that she will be overheard, for example, in her words.

Well, the worst part is Miss Cynthia herself, but her parents are guilty of the same crime. Because I acted with Faircrove's connection and my daughter's ambition of happiness.

At least that's how it is recognised in Carlosa. The scandal will always accompany us more than the house will ever be left behind.

"So why did Miss Cynthia and the others think something like that would come true? It's unusual to think about flower gardens because someone said that he would admire the hero Tan until he was five years old."

"What a cold five-year-old...... who? The guy who said it."

"Rudolph. King Zebrast is doing it"

Answering Bill, who slightly distracted his face, there was subtle air.

"No, that's... bad comparison..."

"Mizuki, that country's been through a lot."

Keith and Alf, who say things like following Cynthia, seem to have a little warmer thoughts.

You think so? Even in the magical world, it seems impossible in real life. Anyone in the original world knows Cinderella's pretty good, too, right?

Blah, blah, blah. I think Cinderella is a story about a woman who took a chance at a memorial ball that wouldn't be a memorial exam. I thought the vitreous shoes weren't ready after twelve o'clock, and as a wizard, they were treated like souvenirs?

It's like the Wizard only said something like 'Enjoy the ball' in the first place. You didn't say, "Be chosen by the Prince's Queen"!? I mean, I didn't even expect a wizard, he said.

That's normal. Even if she was originally a good house lady, she wouldn't have time to brush herself up any more than she was treated as a downstairs worker. You have realistic eyes, wizard.

Still, what made it a happy ending was the tongue of demo thought that the other prince was' looking for a woman with the right shoes' - look at her face normally and look for her! and how many went into it - because he was the owner of the

The prince isn't the only one watching Cinderella, so I think it's common to ask for information about sprinkling sketches and stuff. Wasn't it an unexpected development for a wizard to stutter?

That was only possible because something unusual and unthinkable happened that Cinderella was the only one with the right shoes. It is inconceivable that the person in question should be Cinderella alone.

So if a grown-up girl or something wears shoes, the prince treats you like a lollicon at once, right? Unless you have an age limit, it's likely enough. Don't pull in so many ways, Prince!

... Is that it? Thinking calmly, are you really happy that Cinderella married such a prince? Even though they say there will be future hardships.

……

There are all kinds of virgins, and you shouldn't be thinking realistically about Aga!

"Well, it's this country... some things. In fact, it seems that Faircrov's first generation was married in a 'generally' story-like development"

Not exactly. You saw me unconvinced by Miss Cynthia's thoughts, Keith. Follow me.

Speaking of which, it's like I heard about the formation of the Faircrove family.

"Oh, I heard that. By the way, why do you emphasize" generally, "Mr. Keith?"

"Sometimes the world is happier not to know. That's everything."

……

"Don't ask any more. Don't think about it."

... you mean the hero was also a brain muscle or something like that behind the scenes!?

We stormed Irfena. Currently Faircloff. Our Lord is a former royalty. Had the princess with that momentum hunted her former hero? If the hero was a brain muscle, he'd be buried in the outer moat and never be able to escape.

Mr. Keith put a nice smile on me that would give me a subtle look.

"If you care about the old days, you can't move on."

"Soudesne"

I don't want to be touched. What history has in every country. I didn't realize anything!

"By the way, can I ask you one thing too?

"What is it?

"That state..."

Mr. Keith seems very complicated to ask as if he stands for it. Your people just didn't dare say anything, either, looking at Mr. Keith with doubts as a brave man.

My current situation: On Siege's lap.

Nothing, it's the usual state of being preached.

Except if you don't know why this is used like that, it just seems flirtatious.

"This is what we do when we don't let Mizuki get away with it, or when we detain him."

"What?"

When Klaus said without expression, the surroundings gave a simultaneously surprising look.

Craftsman, I don't have enough words. It doesn't make sense to anyone if we don't talk about it in a little more detail.

On, and when you pull the hem of your clothes, you notice a lack of words, exhale gently and tell the rest. Apparently, the description was just troublesome.

"Magic certifies the subject with your eyes. Especially in the case of Mizuki. The person you're holding in this state... if you're after Zeke, you'll get yourself involved."

"Ahhh... well, I guess so"

Mr. Keith nodding as he was convinced. Yeah, I get involved as much as I want. My magic isn't the only thing the object wants to be attacked by the magic of this world, the convolutions are certain.

However, it seems Klaus is not going to say that much. 'I can't certify the subject because I'm out of my sight!' So it seems to delude me.

"I see, how can you not be alert because your daughter is a magician"

"Sometimes I meet with dignitaries from the country. It may be important to know whether such a response had been taken, regardless of intimacy."

Mr. Keith and the others were listening to Klaus's explanation with a face that seemed convinced.

This can also be seen from the fact that Al or Klaus will always be with us when we meet the Demon King, or Sail will be beside Rudolph in Zebrast. It is more a duty to monitor than to be a guardian, and to make clear our position of protecting the Lord from me.

Matching dangerous people to royalty is likely to be criticized for dereliction of duty. It's just that I don't see him, and not everyone accepts him favorably.

... Well, this condition is recommended for another pitiful reason.

"Above all, Mizuki can't get to the floor in this condition. If you turn your arms and restrain them, you won't get away with it unless it's also a metastasis. The transfer is also limited to short distances at the moment, and the castle is strictly ordered not to use magic in a detour because it hooks up to detection"

"... there's a foot on the floor"

"I won't get there...?

"Leave me alone!"

Everyone shifted their gaze to me on Klaus' words.

Look at the obvious distance between your toes and the floor, and look at my face again.

"Buh..."

erupted. And almost everyone!

That's fine! There's nothing disabling about it in terms of life!

"also, problematic child........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"It's a racial difference, it's a gender difference, it's different from the skeleton!

"Yes, no, you can be cute......"

"Mr. Alf, laughing and saying is convincing!

Leave me alone, seriously, leave me alone! But even the average height is different, no matter how hard you try, it's decided to make a difference!

Well, it's possible that the difference is the length of the hands and feet.

"Look, I don't give a shit, all right?

Sieg says something that seems comforting with a grin, but there are no words of denial.

You're being honest, brainstorm. "It looks that way from your own eyes, or is it true?"

"Sieg... you, for once, would be the fiancée you wanted"

Apparently he reached the same conclusion as I did, Mr. Keith turned a frightened eye, but Zeke leaned his neck strangely.

"Why? Did I say anything awkward?

"No, you mean too honest, you mean you have a few more ways to say it"

"I don't know, Mizuki's rating for me is higher than any other woman's?

Perfect, and the surrounding conversation stops. Everyone turned their surprised faces to Sieg.

And all together, he remembers' what Zeke is like ', and then turns his pitiful caged eyes to Mr. Keith.

"Oh yeah...... somehow figured out how he wasn't in the Kingsguard"

"Right. Do you understand, my lady..."

"They misunderstand you because you say you're unconscious on top of the lack of words."

Mr. Keith put his hand on his forehead just because he had a headache. Woe to you, are you tired? Dear caregiver.

Generally taken in the sense of 'best woman for me', but siegely 'person with elements to make up for my lack, top in the category of women'.

Blah, blah, blah. I just assessed my ability. Seems like he understands what's missing from him around the way he says' to me '.

It should be noted that it is very easy to prove that.

"Sieg, then not me and Mr. Keith?

"You're Keith. Years of dating isn't easy to go beyond."

Instant answer. Look, it's super easy! Brain muscles have no shards such as normal driving and romantic elements today.... but I have trouble with it, mainly Mr. Keith.

And then...

"Coming."

Klaus briefly tells everyone. Immediately everyone laughed and looked at the door.

This time, the Chancellor has told us that there is a possibility. Don't bother asking me why I say that, because it's 'just guided me'.

I also strongly urge you to forgive me because I will retaliate when I do, and I am gladly accepted. In other words, Carlosa is not responsible in this matter.

Because I'm awkward depending on how I ramble, it's like a back deal.

"I got a circular in my reading. Wouldn't you be coming sometime?

"Ahhh... I didn't wonder" Why, can you get away with it "or" Why did you leak the information so I could ask you "?

"I guess I can't afford it, 'cause I usually notice."

Convinced by Klaus' words. It is true that Miss Cynthia's mental state may not be unstable.

Instead of being punished immediately, you spend a few days stirring up a twitch of fear, and the punishment you've been given is pretty harsh. Unless you've given up, you'll have to cry or cut backwards.

If that's when they ask me if I'm with Sieg or something, hey?

Sitting on Sieg's lap also meant 'I'll steer him upside down when he comes'. If you open the door, you'll be standing in a visible position on the front.

The desk is set apart, albeit light, and Mr. Keith and the others are around. The trap proposed by the Chancellor became only 'Miss Cynthia deserves it' and the aim was to be directly disappointed by Siege.

He seems to have a nice personality inside, Prime Minister. I can really peek.

"Well, everyone on the wall. Make sure this looks good. It's dangerous to get caught up in it."

"Ma'am, are you sure you're okay?

"Get involved and I'll be preached, Yada."

"... oh, I mean you get caught up in your daughter. All right, do it right."

Mr. Keith and his creepy faces are just starting to act. He also cleaned out the extra chairs and stuff, so when you open the door, you can meet 'us sitting in one chair in front of the desk'.

Exactly the end of it. Maybe, including the fact that no one can stop you until you get here: 'It's a trap!' Full of silent claims.

If you were thinking about that, you would hear footsteps, and the door would open with momentum.

There, as expected, Miss Cynthia. Shake the hair that has lost its luster, and its eyes capture us in the front, causing more and more hatred.

It's a real training ground! It's an exciting development!

The unfortunate thing is that all the parties, no one is in a lover relationship? Instead of triangulation, 'It's Work' makes it better. This is a very sorry situation for Miss Cynthia, who is thriving on one.

"How dare you!

That's what I said and the sword I had on my hands - I guess I put it where I could see it to prove my intent to kill. By the way, can you really cut that sword? - Miss Cynthia, shaking up and coming at me. You haven't seen Sieg, he just comes at me for killing.

... but.

"Go."

Sitting on Sieg's lap, he snarls his fingers. The aim is to hit Miss Cynthia from the desk in front of her, but in such a way as to repeat it from our side.

A desk with air shock waves from underneath, naturally...

"Buh!?

Bang! and sounded pretty flashy and the desk hit Miss Cynthia directly in the face. Klaus catches a glitzy piece of paper with no expression.... Oh, I forgot I was on the report.

Mr. Keith and his friends are dazzled by the instant settlement, and even Zeke's eyes are lightly open.

"Uh-huh? Lady, what's that..."

"Traditional moves called 'Shabudai Return' in my world. Pull your desk toward your opponent and repeat momentum."

Subtly different but not entirely wrong. I doubt if it's a move if I say it at last, but only visibility makes it a good interpretation of one way of attacking.

"I see, it works for a motivated opponent. It's not a weapon, so it's possible to decide that it was an aggressive decision."

Sieg is the one who is honestly impressed. 'I wasn't aiming at you from the beginning, I got my hands on you because the other one came in, it's self-defense!' I seem to have decided that it can be used as a hand.

And naturally there is no comment on poor Miss Cynthia.

I descend on Siege's knees and approach Miss Cynthia, who is groaning. Apparently it hurt pretty bad because I put a pretty good amount of momentum on it, and I still have my hands on my face.

"I told you, didn't I?" Zeke doesn't need you, "he said. Even if you groan, Zeke doesn't care about shards, because he's not interested."

"Ugh..."

"I mean, for Sieg, your value is less than the way you attack!

Whether you're moaning or crying, Miss Cynthia leans down as she sits down.

Well, it's humiliating to say 'I lost the shabudai back' anyway if you're going to lose to a woman. I mean, no one's gonna lose something like that, right?

"Young lady, you're plain awful. You teach me on purpose."

Let me ignore what Mr Keith said, which seems complicated.
