Before leaving the museum, a while after the date sent me a ale called "Aniki, good luck".

Noah, Kazi and the three of them, rocked by a carriage that came to pick them up, headed for the castle waiting for Seiran.

I asked the Kintetsu who came to pick me up what happened, such as calling at such a time before dinner, but the Kintetsu only said that he was "not informed of the details" and the situation did not seem to be well heard.

Apparently, they just told me to pick you up.

... you feel dazzled on the strong western sun before the day you plug it in through the carriage window, and when you close the blackout curtain, the engraving on the tip of the curtain sticks to the engraving at the end of the rail, and the night light on the ceiling lights up.

The inside of the carriage became brighter, but there was still a shadow in my mind because of the uneasiness of receiving a sudden, super superior call.

Covering yourself is a strange sense of tension.

Since I was able to stand up well in the military council, I don't think this call is a kind of scolding - it is also a fact that I can't be alarmed if I am not familiar with Seiran.

You'll have to take into account the fact that you were able to stand up well, but you'll be blamed for being inadvertent, and you'll get scolded for being rude and unaware of it.It's hard to think about calling me... but I can go through my thoughts bearing in mind the situation that is not very good.

... by the time we arrived at Narvalondo's castle, the sun had already set.

Due to the presence of Seireans, the castle is heavily guarded, and the corridors leading to Seireans' rooms are fortified by many nearby guards.

Luggage is inspected before the interview, and naturally items that become weapons are temporarily kept.

Noah and Kazi can wait in a separate room.

Go to Seiran's room with the nearby escort I called.

The hallway is a lot brighter despite the night, as if the fluorescent lights of the man's world were on.

Probably increasing the amount of light for security.

All the guards in the corridor are armed without exception.

It always seemed to maintain a tingling sense of tension.

Eventually we arrived in front of the Seirian room.

When Kintetsu reported his arrival, he heard a short "come in" from inside.

I thanked the nearby guard who handled the questions carefully and went into the room.

It is natural to enter by yourself.There was no escort from here, and strangely, there was no escort inside.

There is only one Seiran in a luxurious room lined with expensive furniture.

He was now dressed in white and dressed differently from the military council.

Hands and arms are hidden behind long, wide cuffs.

There is a sword nearby that reminds me of the Chinese sword of the man's world.

Relax by spreading the knee of expensive woven fabrics with gold embroidery.

However, the black facial veil (bale) is not removed, and its appearance is unknown.

He sat on a bed with a canopy and the doll was unresponsive.

Say hello as soon as you get in and poke your knees in front of Seiran.

And then...

"--Arcs Rayseft, Your Highness has invited you."

Immediately after the oral statement, the original tension increases even further.

The cause of this is the spectacle of the Seireans.

It's as cold a majesty as it is in times of war or military council.As if you were freezing too much, you would fall into the illusion of being thrown out in the middle of freezing.

The blizzard comes directly from the front.

It's like there's a monster in Winter Mountain right in front of you.

Your body is freezing and stiff, and your hands and feet tremble.

In the meantime, Seiran finally made a voice.

"Arcs"

"... hah!

"Are you afraid of the rest?

"No one in this country, no one on this continent is afraid of His Highness."

That said, did Seiran feel better? He leaked a faint laugh from the back of the veil.

"Now, let's relax a little - this will stop the tremors."

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

Hmm.

When the intimidation is resolved, the body's cold disappears as if it were all a phantom.

It seems like a comic book or novel character, such as being able to switch these kinds of things with one will, but in fact, there are many people in this world who can do it.

What bothers me is how everyone controls it.

Maybe next time I should ask Crave... Seiran opened his mouth.

"Relax. Yeah, you can sit in that chair.I'll transfer the rest to you. "

Sailan said so, showing the corner of the room.

There was a mirror-polished marble table and a sofa for one that seemed comfortable to sit on.

Though...

"Fine, there are only two of you here.There is no one to blame for the rudeness of this place, and there is no reckless person to hide and watch. "

"But what does it mean to have no escort?"

"That's because we wanted to talk to you alone.Would it be unnecessary to have someone else present?Or are you saying you're going to do extra harm?

"No, no disillusionment."

It's true that I don't intend to do that, but the best reason why I can't do that is because of the difference in power.

Even if we could move forward on this occasion, we could only think of a future in which the neck would be cut off in an instant by the sword at the waist.

Take Seiran's word and go where you are told.

There was a set of tea on the table.

Some include containers that hold dried tea leaves and containers that hold water, golden pots that discard water, kiksu, teacups that drink water, and glass jugs.

The charm was still a Chinese-inspired design, and it seemed to have been warmed up beforehand and had a warmth.

Seiran, who sat down earlier, lifted the teacup on the wipe and showed the make-believe.

Isn't it a manner-like move?I heard a faint laugh with ease of movement.

Does that mean you can brew it for me?

"This is...."

"Phoenix. It's a first-class item from the Bavarian Federation."

Even if you say so, it doesn't stick.

I rely on a hint of aroma from the hot air to guess what kind of tea it is.

Filling the nose is a Chinese tea-like scent of the man's world.

"... wolong tea?

…… You're very knowledgeable.Does the Oriental Tea have an understanding? "

"Yes, no... it's a coincidence"

Fufu, is that so?

Seiran seems to have taken care of himself by stating the type of tea.The laughter clearly intersects with joy.

I'm surprised we have Oolong tea here too.No, it's not strange to have tea at some point...

Anyway, is it tea now?

Even if I look at Seiran, he won't answer anything, so I think he wants to see how he makes tea.

Now, did that man know how to make wolong tea?

Looking at the table with that in mind.

The teaware is already warmed and the pot contents are kept boiling by the engraving.

I will probably have to use everything I have left because I will not leave anything useless.

(... I remember reading that some people do have to wash Chinese tea.)

I'm trying to figure out how to track down that information from the memories of my experience.

Warm the sushi with hot water and discard the hot water.

Put tea leaves and hot water in a teapot and discard the hot water in a glass jar.

Wait a few tens of seconds to add hot water to the sushi again and serve the tea.

Transfer the tea to the glass jar.

The way I brewed the tea was quite different from the way I learned from Noah, but after such a process, I finally poured the tea into the hot water.

"Go ahead."

When the bath is served thoroughly, Seiran gently lifts the edge of the veil and puts it on his mouth.

"The fragrance stands... quite well."

"I'm sorry."

In the future, you should also refine the way you make tea.

Reply to Seylan and lower your head.

Seylan opened his mouth to the question of what a strange ritual this was.

"Arcs, what you just said in the military council was brilliant.It is your achievement that the policy of the crusaders has been decided upon. "

"I'm grateful for your compliments.Thank you very much. "

"Hmm. That's the second time you've saved me... No, more?Fufu "

Sailan laughs like a joke when she says such a thing.

Well then, write down the details of the plan to make the rest of the fakes you mentioned in today's military meeting and submit them later.It has to be packed in detail to be adopted, but I think it was generally useful as a solution.It was worth a try, whether you could fish or not. "

"Really?

"Oh, that wasn't a bad idea.If you had a position and a track record, you would have adopted it without hesitation.But I will not take up your unprecedented measures before the lords, nor despise them.You know that, right?

Certainly, it creates an opportunity for a change of policy, and if we also adopt measures, we will be too biased towards ourselves.

Then they may be taken by the lords as sovereigns, over whom the Seiran reigns.

I suppose this time you chose someone who was not dissatisfied.

"That's enough for me to say to His Highness."

"Hmm. I didn't think you were going to say enough.I had to say I couldn't use it on that spot, except that the rest underestimated you. "

Sailan said so, exhaling the fragrant breath of tea slightly upward.

This time, it's equal to the fact that Seiran has crushed one option.

Not only was it impossible to adopt a similar solution, but other lords were also unable to adopt a similar solution.From Seiran's point of view, it may seem that these kinds of plays led to failure.

Your head hangs over an apology that doesn't include words of apology.

It's a good thing that someone as high as Prince Wang says so much in this world.It would be like showing maximum gratitude.

"And Count Bow will be annoying, but the rest will leave it as it is.There's a use for that. "

"What?"

"... the military council used to say stupid things, but some didn't have the same idea as the Count, leading to similar ideas.With someone like that, it's easy to explain without degrading a lot. "

"Count Bow is very sorry."

"It's not a problem. That lack of thought is due to all the attention paid to merit.Thanks to me, I was able to put together a good argument. "

Sailan said so.

"-That's not the point.First of all, I would like to commend you once again for your work so far.The wisdom that saved the rest of us from misery.And so is the plan that we have just put in place.Especially the magic gauge you made is wonderful.I've never been more proud of it than the day it came to me. "

"I am delighted to be of service to the Kingdom and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Your existence is rare in the kingdom.

"I'm still short.There is no extinction. "

"You don't have to compare?You did so much at that age.I'm proud to have people like you. "

Seiran lined up his words of praise in that way.

It's a pleasure to receive such praise from a superior...

"What's wrong? Keep your chest tight.Can I say that I am a masterpiece that is not in line with other countries?That's all you did. "

Tickle.

It's too ticklish.

This is too much to praise.

Now it looks like you're trying to keep us on track.

Praising the other person to make them feel better, getting involved, and making it easier for them to hear what they have to say is an enduring technique.I think a warlord named Toyotomi Hideyoshi was often depicted in this style when it came out of creation, but I feel something similar to this somewhere.

If you can tell what kind of expression you're wearing, it will be a judgment material, but Seiran wears a veil, so you can't look at his complexion.

That's why,

"Have fun....."

I gave it back to myself so I did everything I could.

Seiran gets up from his chair and approaches.

"Arcs, the rest of us like you.No one as talented as you is.I want those people to be active. "

"Many words of gratitude.I am delighted to be a member of the royal family. "

You think so?

"What?"

"I want to keep you up in the future.I still hope to be born in the future. "

When Seiran stood on his side, he put his hand on his shoulder.

And without putting between them,

--if you obey the rest of them.

With that added, she came close to her ears to wipe.

And whisper quietly.

"Arcs, be the rest of the dog.To the rest of the faithful dogs. "

…………

You can't hide your surprise in the sweet words that blow on your ears.

I didn't expect you to buy yourself so much as to say this.

But it is. Still, "dog" is a lot to say.In other words, it is nothing more than to erase your self-esteem and become a mere existence that runs in search of food.

Sure, if you jump on this, you'll still be born.The Seirans will eventually be the top of the kingdom.If you are attracted to such a person, part of your purpose will undoubtedly be achieved.

But it's doubtful to hold your head out.

Is it really a good thing to come out in such a way that you despise yourself?

"What do you think? It's not a bad story, is it?In any case, the rest of the orders are absolute to you.Just listen to what you have to say, and everything remains as you thought it was.Can you sing a song about the spring of our world?I'm sure you won't get lost. "

"... I'm afraid I don't deserve it."

"I don't think you're too good.Your genius is about to be admitted.Soon it will be known to the world. "

"Ha...."

"Then nod.Become the rest of the dog. "

Seiran is about to make a choice.

Neither I nor Seiran live in a noble society.This kind of rush is also common.

But I don't feel anything different.

I feel that Seiran is somehow far away from the impression I have had.

Whether it's in greetings or military meetings, I think Seiran was always trying to be tough.

Always strike a balance and be fair and impartial.

Do you think such a person would use sweet words to manipulate others, keep them in tune, and put them on his side?

If only I had the right impression at first.

Instead of soaking others in sweet honey, they try to work hard.

If this idea is correct, there must be something random here.

With a slightly sweet finish of breath, you'll never speak your mind -

"Your Highness, I want you to forgive me for speaking in fear."

"What?

"What is His Highness thinking?We appreciate your disrespect and ask that you tell us your true intentions. "

When you say so, the tone of Seirian's voice drops a bit.

"... why do you think so?

"As far as His Highness' behavior is concerned, I cannot deny the unnaturalness.If so, His Highness would be foolish to come to this conversation with another idea. "

…………

If this prediction is wrong, I will be angry.

But I don't think this is the "will of Seireans."

More tension than when you enter the room ties your body down, sweat builds up and falls off your neck.

Seylan hasn't answered the question yet.

Inside your rounding head.

Your thoughts are dulling.

Crawl, crawl, crawl.

"Kuku... kukuku..."

Just waiting for words like that.

Seiran burst into laughter.

The laughter gradually changes to a high sound that makes you feel better.

And then...

"Kuku, no, you're right.I tried you. "

It relieves me greatly to hear the words.

Even if you hold back your breath, your body is relieved of extreme tension.

In short, I suppose Seiran measured himself by the question he asked earlier.

But people are bad.

That's how I looked at Seiran, and he exhaled.

It was as if Seireans were also nervous.

Perhaps it was the same in Seilan that was relieved.

As Seiran turned his back to the chair,

"I don't want to imitate other people, but I have to.Because the heart of others is invisible. "

In that case,

"But I'm relieved.You're the man I thought you were. "

"I know more than anything that meets your expectations."

But, as I thought,

After all, the way you say it means you bought it originally.

Seylan and I have very few contacts, so it's quite strange around here.

"But it's strange.When the rest called out, they were all impressed, but you didn't even pretend.Instead, the more I praised, the more I thought there was something behind it. "

"I beg your pardon for trying to find your belly."

"No, I don't think so.Running to greed and unconditionally believing in strangers is what fools do. "

Sailan asks suddenly.

"--Arcs, do you know what the rest is?

Such a meaningless inquiry.
