"I'm really sorry. Thank you for delaying your time for your convenience for over an hour...."
The day before school.
As usual, our first call from Lieutenant Eric's house was an apology.
Comfortable wind soars your hair as you step down the road with shoes that you're pretty used to walking in another week. Walking in a different direction from school, me and Stale, and against Arthur, Lieutenant Eric, were rounded shoulders from the beginning.
"No way! Thank you again for interrupting even though this is not school day! Suddenly, it's only natural to schedule with Lieutenant Eric!
"Jeanne is right, Lieutenant Eric. We don't care at all."
Following me, Stale is also a calm voice.
Arthur nodded as strongly as he could agree, and silver-edged glasses fell on his way. "I'm sorry," replied Lieutenant Eric with an impatient voice, still depressed. Spread another topic to Lieutenant Eric to brighten things up for me.
"More than that, Lieutenant Eric. I knew that look would suit you very well. I've never seen anything other than a mission, so it's so fresh and lovely."
When I first met you in that outfit, I repeated the conversation almost the same way.
But I thought it was really nice, so I had no choice. Even though I thought I didn't have enough vocabulary, I looked up at Lieutenant Eric and laughed. Just like when I said I would, Lieutenant Eric's complexion turned red inside. Even if I told you that I was a child just now, it sounds rather disgraceful than persuasive.... I'm sorry.
But it must suit you so well that you don't have to be shy. Whatever this child looks like, his credibility is apparently zero. Thank you... and thanked me again with a weak, scratchy voice, but my eyes were swimming.
Lieutenant Eric is not dressed as a knight right now.
Simple look with cut shirt and pants and light thin jacket. I tried dressing up as a non-knight on an assignment three years ago, but it was fresh unlike then. It fits perfectly with Lieutenant Eric's image, but... in fact, his clothes may have been tailored just like our children's clothes this time.
Today, we are out to teach our Farnham sisters and brothers how to study, but our mothers are kept quiet.
With the cooperation of Prime Minister Gilbert, he was invited to the Mansion to meet Maria, the wife of Prime Minister Gilbert.
We were disturbed by a carriage in the residence of Prime Minister Jilbert, and once separated into separate rooms for Deputy Captain Eric and for changing clothes, we were transformed into children by Prime Minister Jilbert, who brought Stale on an instant trip under the name of "Invited Special Ability Person".
Lieutenant Eric also carried a minimal weapon under his jacket, but in a knight's outfit he definitely stood out, so he got dressed in ordinary clothes prepared by Prime Minister Gilbert.
If the Knights of the Guards, who were supposed to be our escorts, were to be seen outside the middle class, we wouldn't even know what the responsibility would be, not just for us, but for Lieutenant Eric.... by the way, I know the Knight Commander this time.
Captain Column and the others told me in advance that we had to talk about everything because he promised to help us. Thanks to Arthur and Lieutenant Eric, we were able to get the holidays off yesterday, and if we hadn't returned to the castle on time, it would have been a time-bound mission with the Knights General's welcome event.
More than just saying I'll be home by dinner, time is really precious. That's why I know Lieutenant Eric still cares. But when I asked you to borrow Lieutenant Eric's front door again today, I had no choice but to ask for one thing. I couldn't help but listen to the usual modest pleas from Lieutenant Eric.
From Prime Minister Gilbert's Mansion, only Lieutenant Eric is on foot to his parents' home. And as the three of us watched the timing and traveled instantly to Stale, from Prime Minister Jilbert's house to Deputy Eric's house... and after a really cumbersome double and triple phase, we were finally able to hide who we were and act in secret. We should be mindful of Lieutenant Eric, who has put so much effort into this.
I would like my brother Keith to visit me after he goes to work.
"But are you okay? Either way, Keith will find out from your family's mouth afterwards...."
"No, that's good. Better than asking questions again first."
In response to Arthur's worrying words, Lieutenant Eric held his head in his hand as he sent the wind to his burning face. At the same time, the redness on my face also woosh.
Ultimately, Lieutenant Eric, mixed with hah... and sighs, has been fatigued since morning. It seems that Mr. Keith is keen to make us sightseeing in King's Landing even after everything that happened before.
Given the way you've included Lieutenant Eric, there's probably something else that's bothering Keith. Besides, if Keith knew that we were going to visit a friend's house on holidays, he would probably have something to think about, aside from Wangdu sightseeing, which always refuses to help with his parents' work on holidays.... I think it's actually going to be fun to visit King's Landing with Keith.
It hurts my conscience to avoid being kind to Keith, even though it is to hide his identity. I wonder if I can really open it for a day or so like today.
"Keith will be home late today, so I don't think he'll see you at least once."
"Speaking of which, what does Keith do for a job...."
I hear back as if Stale had thought of it, and I raise my face with concern.
Speaking of which, I haven't heard it yet. I'm sure you'll find out when you get back to the castle, but I haven't heard exactly what Lieutenant Eric's family does. So far, Mr. Keith has been absent from the morning, eating breakfast normally, and daring to wait for us to come. I've never seen you dress like that in work clothes... The last time you came to pick me up at school, it wasn't like that day was a regular holiday.
Whatever the hell... Lieutenant Eric smiled bitterly once his gaze was in the air. I'm worried that I shouldn't have listened to him say, "He's..." If I thought I'd stop thinking about the next topic, Lieutenant Eric would have told me more than I thought.
"I worked in a small place called the" newspaper office "in Wangdu...... in a nutshell, is it like an information book that combines bulletins and reading materials for the people?"
As you may not know... Lieutenant Eric laughs, my eyes turn round unexpectedly.
Has there been such a thing in the Freesian Kingdom?!
Instead of knowing it, it is a civilization book that I have memories of the past life that I want to know. Put aside Stale and Arthur, who seem to be intrigued, and desperately endure the urge to hear things very quickly. I had no idea that Mr. Keith would work for a newspaper.
The culture of newspapers has not yet taken root in Japan. Delivery is mostly in the form of advertisers spreading the word, putting up signs, advertising with stickers, and entrusting the announcement to lords everywhere. Thanks to our special abilities, it is relatively easy to circulate information throughout the country, but still the newspaper culture has not spread. I was in the castle, and I've never had a newspaper reporter come to cover it before, and I'm sure Mr. Keith's work is a pioneer of the next generation of civilization.
It may be an unusual job right now, but from my point of view, it's amazing. Kimihika doesn't even have a newspaper appearance...... yeah. Yes, at least in the third one.
No doubt, only the memory of the only third work I've done so many times in my previous life. There was definitely a newspaper in the third world. I just can't remember how the other series went. The second one...,... hmm, I don't know. As for the overall flow, I can't remember the appearance of the newspaper. Powell's electricity is a good newspaper... what the hell is going on here?
In maiden games, emphasis is placed on stories, but there are other contradictions such as history, civilization and culture that are fluffy due to the convenience of game characters. And since Kimihika was treated like a parallel world for each series, there was no player to care about.
"That's interesting. I think it's a good idea in the sense of spreading a lot of knowledge and information to the people."
"Keith was an amazing person, too...."
He also seemed impressed by Lieutenant Eric, who explained the newspaper to me. As far as Arthur was concerned, his eyes were a little shiny with his mouth open.
Was it nice that their brother was praised for their straight reaction? Lieutenant Eric, who smiled slightly lightly, shook his hand gently in front of his face, modestly saying, "Not so much."
"Keith was only hired. The family is convinced that it was because of him that they chose the job, and I support it, but it's still going to take some time to get on track."
For that reason, Keith also seems to be involved in editing newspapers from his print work, and in some cases in interviews and collecting stories.... it sounds like nothing, but it's quite a hard job. I don't think Lieutenant Eric is a bad person, either, and I wonder if the Gilchrist family has any idea of weakness.
Arthur and the others look up at Lieutenant Eric's face with the same opinion.
I think I've figured out why Keith wants to show you around the castle. If you're doing a lot of interviews around town like that, you probably know a lot of nice holes. I think maybe you were trying to introduce me to your workplace, and I get extra interested. I really want to go on Keith's castle tour.
Stale thought the same thing and whispered to me while holding the black edge of the glasses, "I'd like to see if it's convenient for a holiday..." I will wrap my tongue around my chest with a smile and don't miss out on the future of the Regent and the opening of civilization.
I'd like to invite Prime Minister Gilbert and Tiara. I think that's what the Prime Minister and the future king and sister Tiara, who have jurisdiction over the country, should touch on.... maybe I'll take Tiara as royal next month for an inspection. I don't want to be satisfied if there is more to be done than just the school system. It is our role not only to support the royal family, but also what the people have built from themselves.
I felt fluffy and saw what I had to do and what I wanted to do, and I finally got to the Farnham area.
We need to be more careful with the words we speak from here on out. With that in mind, we kept our mouths shut without showing each other. What matters now is the Farnham sister and brother. I refresh my mind as I tell myself that.
The people we should support are ahead of us now.
