18. I'll Never Tell You About Today

The city of Pindos, a shop that plays theatre.

There is a stage at the front.

Opposite it, there's almost a liquor-like space.

This restaurant has become popular in the last decade, where guests enjoy the play while eating and drinking.

So he said he was watching the adventure Tan of a legendary archmage named Io, stumbling on appropriately.

"Bizarre encounter."

A woman sat beside the same table.

Seating is so rare in a store like this, and I was surprised because there are still empty seats around.

Why? I was even more surprised when I turned to the side.

"You... not you..."

I rephrased it because that's who they are.

Lina mi aigina.

He came a while ago as an inspector and is one of the royal families of the Kingdom of Aigina to which the Canoe family belongs.

That Lina is appearing in the city of Pindos for some reason.

"It's useless."

"... ok"

You mean you want to hide who you are?

If you're considered royal, you'll be treated special. Some types don't like that.

Especially when it's a place of entertainment, especially in a store like this.

I called the clerk and ordered some extra food lightly.

I talked to her to the point of asking her how she was feeling until she was transported.

"Why are you here? Another surveillance?"

"What are you putting away? I'm here for your inauguration next week."

"... ah"

I laughed bitterly.

The Canoe family, the Baron's family, has to perform quite a few rituals to take up their new presidency as well.

It was time to postpone the death of the three older brothers.

I formally send out invitations to royalty and nobility as a whole, but usually I let the baron or so ceremony, the user bring me words and celebratory objects.

That's what Lina herself came for.

"Thanks"

I just thanked you.

She is unresponsive and watches the play without talking.

She doesn't even get her hands on cooking, but only keeps her lips moist for drinks.

Maybe he's an oligarchy, basic, quiet person.

Then I'd like to leave you alone, but it's hard not to either.

"Show me the size of that bottomless vessel one day and the seriousness of it."

I remember what Lina told me the other day.

She realizes I'm hiding my strength.

I don't know how to deal with her like that - how dare you, she cut me out of the other side.

"When are you serious?

d I've been punching straight balls in.

Rigid fastball with no decorations whatsoever, but helpful for coming straight at me.

"I won't let you out."

"Ever?

"Ever."

"Interested in more than Baron status?

"Not at all."

"Anything you want? Money or a woman? If you want the most beautiful woman in the royal family, you can give it to me."

Lina totally dictates me.

Gold, women, power.

I still arrange favorable conditions such that only one of them is normal human.

"I'm sorry."

"Premature."

It's not a matter of time.

"I am obsessive"

That sounds really obsessive.

Although, it was the same last time.

Lina doesn't have an atmosphere about what she's going to do here.

There is an atmosphere of waiting for temperatures.

Well, if that's what you mean, no problem.

Goto.

I made a small noise and something fell on the table.

Seeing, the cup Lina was lifting and dampening her lips was rolling on the table and the contents were smashed.

Lina, who has removed the cup, has a single elbow and is pulling trembling with a nagging addition and subtraction.

"Hey, what's up!

"Touch it... the usual."

That's what I tell you, Lina, but you're pale.

You don't look so safe.

"See you..."

Lina flutters but tries to get up.

I know it means I'm going to walk away like this, but I couldn't get up and my floating ass came back to my chair.

It seems so painful that it's even difficult to stand.

"Are you sick? Shall I bring the doctor?"

"It's okay... the usual"

"It doesn't look like it!

"Quiet, to"

Give me your index finger, Lina, and hold my mouth.

The people around me aren't obsessed with the play and watching us - but if we make any more noise, that's suspicious too.

Lina says stop acting like you're drawing attention.

When she took her hand off my lips, she turned her clothes a little.

There was a border between clothes and skirts, directly beside Heso, like a black human face.

"This is..."

"Parasitic demon, I don't know his name because he's an old demon"

"Parasite"

"Parasitic to both soul and flesh, it continues to suck magic and strength in extension. That kind of thing. It's okay, I'm not going to die. Because if the host dies, this guy dies, too."

Lina looks like a piece of paper, but she just enjoys herself and feels sure she can be.

"... why are you doing that?"

"It was a mistake of childhood. When I was playing in the castle treasure trove, I sealed the treasure with a curse."

"I see."

"... cum"

Lina groans more painfully than just now.

Looks like there's a wave in pain, and it's a big wave right now.

"What's up!

"What I did was because of the pain... to no one, don't say"

Face up and stare at me.

Even though it's pretty hard, you stare at me with more than that.

How embarrassing.

... I wouldn't say this (,,).

I've seen the guy in the book who's tormenting Lina.

I know what to do.

I took the glass that Lina had removed.

Ten percent... okay.

With the edge, I filled the cup with something dripping from my palm and offered it to Lina.

"I won't tell anyone. Drink more water than that. Makes it a little easier."

"... n"

How painful, Lina drank water from the glass, as she was told.

I couldn't hold it on my own and gave it to the sick so I could do it.

After drinking half a glass of "water," steam rises from Lina's body.

At the same time, something popped up from around her navel.

I expected him to fall to the ground with my hands and step on him.

I wiped him out like a cigarette fire.

……

Lina took her hands seriously.

My complexion is so much better that I couldn't compare it earlier.

Or the normal state of a normal person.

I'm aware of that myself, so I was looking at my hand because I was suddenly surprised at the full healing.

"What, are you talking about?

"It's a demon named Palacitos. Feeding the living energy that possesses the human body and doesn't let it live and kill it - is something I've been feeling for years and I don't have to explain it to you again."

"What did you do to it? They told me I couldn't get rid of it."

"Oh, I can't get rid of it from the outside. If you do that, you'll lose a thousand souls."

"Then."

"But I can steer them away from me."

I took a glass and showed the other half of the "water".

Water that embodies magic, made by condensing about 10% of its power.

"If you eat a higher concentration of magic all at once than usual, you will come out surprised. If you eat a lot of stimulants, you'll go belly down."

"High concentrations of magic...... magic embodied?

Look at the "water" I have, Lina, stunned.

Well, she was helpful, and I'll give you a push.

Shut up about me today.

……

Lina stared at me.

"... ok, in the name of Lina Mi Aigina. I won't tell anyone about today."

"Whoa."

Could be a comma from a ladybug.

I expected you wouldn't tell me, but Lina swore me more in her own name on top of that.

If the royals say so much, you'll be fine.

A few days later, the hall of sight.

A messenger came from the kingdom and read the king's life before me.

"In recognition of the achievements of the Slime Road crusade, Baron Hermes Canoe shall be awarded the Kusifos Cross Medal"

……

I was Pokhan.

The messenger receives a medal from his entourage on a lavish tray and offers it to me.

"Baron Canoe, please accept."

"Huh? Why? Why medals?"

"The Kusifos Cross Medal is the prestigious premier medal to be given to the brave men who fought for the kingdom. Something to give to something that gave you great military merit. Not enough merit by the extent of the original Slime Road crusade"

"If so."

This is the only place I'm talking about it.

The tone of the apostle's voice has fallen, I intend to keep it to myself.

"His Highness Lina, who was an inspector, asked His Majesty to do something about it."

"... Got hit"

Lina didn't tell anyone about it.

Instead, he did give away his medal by pushing the Slime Road feat I did.

Ha... well, I can't help it.

It's true we did the slime load, and do we take it here?

Oh, no one can beat a medal if you take it and put it in the back of the tans.

It's an important medal, I'll take care of it.

No, I'd rather touch around "I got a medal for a slime road crusade," and maybe take it in the wind "You can't get it to that extent, Puguera".
