"Thank you for waiting!" Is Nate all right?
It wasn't long before Arthur and Steel brought him his change of clothes after Nate started crying. Arthur rushes towards me worriedly with his clothes on.
It was Nate who was dazzled at first when his uncle was taken by First Lieutenant Eric, but he fell to me and cried out loud as soon as the thread of tension broke. Arthur's voice was probably the only voice I could hear.
It's the same voice that still resounds in the house. The crying voice was so violent that it almost crushed my throat. When I clenched my grip tightly, my hand holding my hem was also slightly strengthened with trembling. Captain Column hangs a regimental coat on each of my arms, and only the blonde hair that was tinted comes out of the gap between the big regimental clothes.
"Yeah, it's okay, Jack. Thanks, Philip."
Say thank you for Nate, and Captain Column gets the change of clothes from Arthur.
I wanted you to change your clothes immediately, but I want to wait until it settles down. Even now, my little body is still trembling. Captain Column seemed to have the same intention, and scrubbed his back across the regimental dress with his dress on one lap. Nate's gaze is just gentle......
Thanks to Captain Column.
I'm going to go to Nate's house and see how he's doing.
When I heard that Nate hadn't come to school, it was Captain Column who told us that he was unaware of his home.
I mean...? Captain Column knew exactly what Nate's house was. I was wondering when it happened, but it seemed that Nate, who had injured his leg, had sent it to me near my house yesterday. Sure enough, Captain Column asked Arthur to delay the Kingsguard's mission a little bit yesterday, but I didn't think he was going to send Nate home.
I decided to leave early and go to Nate's house with Captain Column, because I couldn't do this if I knew where he was. I rushed to Nate's house one second earlier, so Val helped me with the ultra-express.
Even when I arrived at the house, the front door was locked, but I heard so much noise and yelling from inside the house that I didn't need to touch my ears, and my spine was dumbfounded.
We decided to move on to the one-eyed solution when we asked Steel to propose to Nate that he be sure that he had reached the threshold of violence. If my uncle hadn't committed violence or extortion yet, I wanted to leave it the second way he wanted it, but if my uncle was in a state of violence, there was no reason not to do it.
I asked Steyl to bring Leon, who was in the Kingdom of Anemones, and Vice Captain Eric, who was there for his protection. Then I asked Val to keep an eye on my uncle so he wouldn't run away from home, and Arthur and I decided to protect Nate.... and suddenly, Nate's tremendous screams resounded from inside the house.
"No," he said, screaming as if he was really being tortured, and his heart stopped as soon as he heard it. The door is locked, and if you think about whether you should break the window or have Arthur break the door,
Bakin, and Column. Captain destroyed the doorknobs and doors.
Really, without a moment's hesitation.
"The door, which was completed with minimal destruction due to the special ability of the strength, had a hole that seemed to be removed only from the perimeter of the door knob."
Unlike me and Arthur, who were on a special attack, Captain Column did not appear in front of his uncle until Leon arrived in time, so he could not get inside, but his face was surprisingly steep. Both eyebrows were hoisted together with the sharpened eyes with the mouth tied tightly, and the tension that could be said to be domineering from the whole body was tightening.
Arthur was surprised when he opened his mouth to the boulder, but if Captain Batan and Column opened the door, he couldn't afford to think of anything else. Nate was trampled on by a big man.
At first sight, Nate was worn out and rolling. His face was soaked with tears. The goggles on my forehead were broken and fragments were scattered on the floor. If I hurried up and hugged them, my clothes were damp and cold as a lie.
As soon as I held Nate, who had been incredibly hurt in just one day, my throat went up to me. If I could have realized that Nate was suffering from this earlier, if I had heard the location of his house by force, if I had had a stronger choice in the first place,... if I could have remembered his memory earlier, Nate wouldn't have faced this.
Even though I knew that I had no choice but to regret it, I couldn't stop. If I noticed, my voice was leaking. If it hadn't been for Captain Column, it would have been irreversible.
"Really... thank you, Captain Column"
She raised her face to Captain Column, clasping Nate's tongue under her woven regimental clothes as she turned into a sobbing voice.
I really can't thank you enough. I looked up with a tearful face, and after a small smile, he shook his head silently.
I don't know why Nate, who was so open-minded, wanted to teach Captain Column his house, but thanks to that, he was able to make it in time.
Nate's throat is twitching, and he's getting a little hotter than before. It's relieving to feel the thin arm that grabs me. When I gently rubbed my arms together with Captain Column, my sobs became a little stronger. Still, slowly, while waiting for Nate who was recovering his feelings, he raised his gaze to Leon.
Arthur brings the chair placed near the wall to Leon and recommends it to him. Despite being summoned suddenly, Leon received a smooth smile and slowly sat down in an old chair. I had finished my errands and thought that I should return it to Stale, but Leon, who noticed my gaze immediately, gave me a gentle smile without hurrying. He showed me his little finger standing up, and he really rushed in just for me.
I know that you really can't apologize to me for asking Leon, the first prince of a country, to do this......!!!!
Four days ago, when I consulted you about a deal with Nate. At the same time, I asked for [one-eye] this time.
At the time, Nate's special abilities and the fact that he was threatened, invented, and had trouble collecting his debts.
Our laws are not strong enough to curb violence against ourselves, as they were in previous life.
Is it because the characters of the past are normal in the game of Kimihika, or is it just because the times are old? If you are an unrelated child, you can get cracked down if you show the guard where the adult is wielding violence, but it is difficult to exceed your authority if you are an adult.... no, it's the same as my previous life. However, since there are no children's counseling centers or such institutions here, it is difficult to find out and rescue them.
If the debt collector was just a person of dark gold, it would be easier for the guards to increase their patrols, or it would be a crackdown. However, even if it is a relative, there is still a strong sense of "family problems" in this world. Therefore, it was difficult to intervene as long as the Knights and Guards were on the other side.
Even if it turns out to be violent, it's hard to deal with it immediately. If I was told to stick to it, that would be it. Moreover, since Nate hid his dealings with his uncle from others, it was difficult for knights and guards to catch him. It's not a formal borrowing in finance, but it's a loan between people, so it's difficult to control it with just that extra, so it's bad.
When I spoke to Chancellor Gilbert as a predictor, I could not speak because I had not yet confirmed that Nate was violent, but if I told him that he was being severely threatened by debt collectors and continued to be forced to invent, he would nod to this plan.
There are two ways I have thought about it. Have Nate make a deal with Leon to pay off his debts, or force his uncle to be arrested for 'separate arrests'.
Even in the game, my uncle let Nate go in exchange for a lot of money, and I thought it would be possible to make a deal between his invention and Leon.
That's why I asked Leon to come to Nate's house to collect the debt. However, even if you can help Nate, I don't know when my uncle will show up, and it is more likely to be an emergency. It is disrespectful to call it to the prince of a country on the same day and right now.
It's like treating you like a coward, and even ordinary people are quite unfaithful and annoying. I can't believe you rushed to help me whenever and wherever I needed help. And I just got a letter back this morning.
But while Stale and I were hiding our identities, Leon was the best person to get in touch with Nate. He is also in a position to ask Nate to make an invention, and his uncle who uses Nate to make an invention will definitely turn upside down if he knows about it. I promised Leon that I would escort him so he wouldn't get hurt.... even though I didn't think Leon could hurt his uncle.
And Leon accepted my unreasonable request on the spot. He gave me permission to go to the King of the Anemone Kingdom so that I could call him in any time until Nate's problem was solved. For this reason, Leon remained in the Kingdom of Anemones until today without going out of the country except for the Kingdom of Freesia. I knew it was a frivolous request, and I was more confused when you agreed to it, but Leon was still confused.
Somehow, you're like a prince, aren't you?
... that's why you really waited until today.
It is truly impossible for a prince to arrest a bad man when he is in trouble and appears for help. In fact, Leon, who appeared to block his uncle's escape, was really good-looking.
Shaking hands with Nate was a level prince who would definitely fall in love with Amlet, not Nate.
Leon was to be thanked, but the King of the Kingdom of Anemones bowed his head to forgive him. You've forgiven me the time of my precious heir to the throne. Thanks to this, we were able to arrest the debt collector as planned.
"Royalty" is a special thing. Loss of speech or raising one's hand alone is worthy of disrespect.
And Leon is my ally, my ally, the first princess of my country. And the next king of the kingdom of Anemones.
If you disrespect such a big guy, it won't be easy. This time, I dared to ask Leon to ride it, but it is usually worth the international problem. In the drama I saw in my previous life, there were many patterns of police interfering with the execution of official duties and catching me by arresting me, so I came up with a method, but... I didn't think it would be useful in the future.
I also told Chancellor Gilbert that if he goes to treason, he won't escape from extreme punishment. If you're brought to trial at the castle, you'll be investigating residual crimes. If what Nate had done to his family was clear enough, it would be a target for disciplinary action.
Upon hearing about Nate, Chancellor Gilbert was quite angry with me, and I'm sure he'll do what he needs to do. At least I'll never get involved with Nate's family again. Even if we subtract the amount that we set in the trap, the compensation for properly setting down the lives of Nate and his family must be accepted by the laws of this country. Not only is it difficult to exceed authority, but even if the opponent is inside, assault, imprisonment, and extortion do not turn into crimes in Japan. Besides... the debts and inventions that I was putting on Nate.
"Jeanne, I'll help Nate get dressed." I still want to see the injury. I want you to wait outside the house. "
When Nate's sobbing calmed down, Captain Column said so and touched his shoulder to take care of Nate.
Although Nate still had time to jerk off, he could still wipe his own tears. She looks extra young because she didn't put her usual goggles on her forehead. When she loosened her hand, Nate slowly let go of the hand that grabbed me. Captain Column supports Nate by rubbing his eyes on the back of his hand over and over again.
I'm wearing Captain Column's regimental clothes now, but I'd better stay out of the house if I'm going to change all over from now on. Thirteen years old, but not a boy.
"Okay," I said, and stretched my clothes. Nate, who had rubbed his eyes many times, still seemed unable to speak with his lips distorted, but he told me "later" and finally stroked his head. My tight hair was damp and softer than I thought.
Leave Nate to Captain Column, and I'll go outside the house once. Steyl and Arthur followed me, and Leon rose from the chair without a sound. Before diving into the open door, I looked back and said to Nate, who continued to rub his eyes with both hands, "It's okay now," and Captain Column supported my shoulders with a gentle voice.
Arthur and Steyl looked back at the figure in the same way. Unlike me, he looks at something far away.
"I knew it, Captain Column... amazing"
"... that's right."
The sled and the two of them spilled out of sight to each other.
After that, Arthur scratched his cheek with his fingertips, and Steyl, who smiled tinyly while facing forward, said nothing more.
