4. Does my name sound so light? – (17)
***
‘…?’
Pleaa, who had been blinking her eyes, looked at Chersha and licked her lips for a moment.
Supporting Glaade was the first thing Pleaa had heard.
I’m sure you weren’t the only one who heard from that man named Ed just now that Gleard was on the ‘front line’. But Plea’s thoughts never came out of her mouth.
Flea just grunted inwardly and looked at Chersha sadly.
Wherever Chersha went, Plea herself had to be there as well.
That was the condition that Gria Kalua, the lord of the Eastern Mage Tower, offered to accompany Chersha, and it was also Pleaa’s own will.
To envy and follow Chersha. It was because she wanted it and applied for it.
‘Ah… What should I do? Really’
How happy she was when Chersha allowed her to accompany her. She really wanted to run wild on the spot.
And now Plea was regretting herself that she did.
And Ed, who was as surprised as Plea, was more concerned about Chersha’s words of supporting Glaade than Chersha’s request to be her own escort.
“What do you mean by supporting Glaad? Chersha.”
That’s why, looking at Chersha, Ed raised her voice as if he didn’t understand.
“Literally, I will eventually come out by the mobilization order. If that’s the case, I thought it would be less damaging to support Glaade.”
“Chersha… Think again, it’s too dangerous.”
If someone else would listen to Chersha’s words. That in itself would make Chersha a fait accompli for her that she supports Glad.
Is that really a good thing? Ed thought it was a bad thing to think about.
“It’s dangerous. Then, Ed belongs to the Gleard family. Are you saying you’re safe?”
“Chersha… It’s different from that and this.”
“No. It’s no different, Ed. You know what you’re saying right now? It sounds like you’re saying that the very fact that I support Glaad is dangerous.”
While talking, Chersha and Ed didn’t say a word to each other. Each other just insisted on their own opinions, and the conflict of opinions continued to form a parallel line.
“As long as you are Ed. I will support Glead in the Mobilization Order. So don’t try to convince me now, Ed.”
“……”
Ed, who hesitated while biting his lip at Chersha’s words, finally sighed and couldn’t come up with a proper answer.
She sees herself as risky Chersha She herself is willing to take her own risk. She knew what that meant, so she couldn’t continue insisting on her opinion toward Chersha.
Supporting Glaade is dangerous.
Chersha’s words… Were justified.
She wasn’t afraid at all that she was a knight of the Glead family to deal with the Witchbeast, but when Chersha brought up the word that she supported Glead, it was as if her pensiveness was deeply embedded in her heart. Something like insecurity started to take hold.
To stand on the battlefield was enough for me alone.
No, the Glaad family and other knight families and mercenaries would be able to defend against even a second-class crisis.
Because he thought so.
So Chersha is just in charge of defense inside the city. Ed Chersha hoped she would.
The word supporting Glead, who will be on the front line, meant that Chersha would go to the battlefield together.
My heart was so heavy, as if a heavy rock had suddenly settled in my chest.
Then, suddenly, Ed remembered Chersha’s words asking her to stand up for herself. Doesn’t that mean that she will soon break away from her own line?
“…No matter what I say, Chersha, you don’t seem to change your mind.”
Once he guessed Chersha’s meaning, Ed laughed and muttered a little while looking at Chersha.
“Ed, what do you mean by what I said? I think you understand well enough.”
A word about escort.
I’m guessing that’s what it means.
“Chersha, being your escort…”
A 5th tier wizard.
Chersha Kalua Her existence was actually more special than anyone else in this city, but it wasn’t strange.
And that thought is not true of her presence in Chersha herself. What to do with Glia, who is facing a level 2 crisis.
In such a critical situation, he is a 5th tier wizard. She was a name that shined even brighter just by her existence.
…As if thinking for a while, Edgar fiddled with his teacup.
“Chersha, that’s me, I can’t decide alone.”
“I was thinking about that too, so I’m going to formally talk to the Gleard family today. I will support Glad, so give me Ed you.”
“Oh!”
For a moment, Plea couldn’t stand Chersha’s words and exclaimed her admiration, but realizing her mistake, Plea hurriedly raised her hand and covered her mouth.
“…”
…At Chersha’s very direct words, even Ed involuntarily raised his gaze from his teacup and turned to Chersha.
Even when receiving Ed’s gaze, Chersha was looking at her without wavering.
Flea’s fuss and Ed’s surprised look. Chersha didn’t care much.
The reality of a second-class crisis was too heavy to change my opinion with just momentary emotions, hesitation, and hesitation.
That’s why Chersha couldn’t compromise, even with Ed’s words.
I have to keep him by my side. It seemed that only then could Chersha herself feel at ease.
“…Okay.”
And when Ed looked into Chersha’s eyes, he eventually changed his mind.
Standing at the forefront, his own sword that belongs to Glaade. Holding it high would surely be an easy task.
I just need to put my body on the current right now and it will be over.
But Chersha, her support. If she really wants to protect the North. That would obviously be a different story.
The majesty of a wizard that he himself had only heard about through rumors. The terrain changes with one of their light gestures, and even the climate changes.
From noble mtl dot com.
Even if the words were just rumors, they were all praising the greatness of wizards.
But even among those great wizards, what about a 5th tier wizard?
In that moment when you can save two or three people with your own hands holding a sword. Chersha’s magic could save hundreds of lives.
That’s why. Change my mind
‘…By taking risks.’
Chersha Takes the risk of standing on the battlefield. She, and she, the danger she herself guards against.
A sword that protects Chersha so that no one else can touch her toes, and become her shield.
“I didn’t know that I would keep the word of being your knight… Like this.”
Edgar smiled a little, and instead of saying anything else, he gave a hint of future events.
And that moment. Seeing what words would come out of Ed’s mouth, Chersha’s expression became brighter than ever.
Ed said that he would become my knight.
Ed’s word is his clear acceptance of his opinion. It was meant And along with that, to mean that he would become his own knight 8 years ago.
“Thank you very much, Ed!”
Chersha stood up from her seat and tried to approach Ed without hesitation.
The moment Chersha approached Ed as if she couldn’t control her joy at the moment. Chersha questioned when she saw that Ed’s gaze was not on her.
“Chersha…”
Ed looks at Chersha with a troubled expression while glancing sideways at her.
“…?”
As Chersha turned her head in a daze at her figure, she was able to spot a girl with a verdant look at her with her eyes shining.
… And only then did Chersha come to her senses.
“Ah, ah! Me, never mind me! You can even do Chersha-sama’s work!”
Flea, receiving Chersha’s gaze, waved her hands in amazement. The gesture felt as if she was pushing Chersha to do what she was doing.
“I… I wasn’t going to do much of anything.”
Chersha, who opened her mouth in an awkward voice, hurriedly spoke her words as she returned to her seat.
“Oh no, I really am! You don’t have to worry about it… Ugh! Chersha!! Would you like to leave your seat for now?”
“Be quiet. Plea…”
Chersha, who had blushed to the extent that it was visible on the outside, finished with those words and glared at her Plea.
Only then did Pleaa pinch my lips with both hands and nod her head in agreement.
Seeing the girls like that, Ed stopped and burst into laughter.
“…Ed, you?”
***
Another drawing room in Glaad Mansion.
“……With those conditions, please give me Ed.”
Asera doubted her ears for a moment.
She said she wanted to meet Ed on a sudden visit, and after another woman said she wanted to meet herself unexpectedly.
‘Chersha Kalua.’
So, right now, a seat was made for her drawing room in one corner of her own office.
And now, there, Chersha Kalua Her It hadn’t been long since I had a conversation with her, but Ashera didn’t understand.
Chersha, the voice I heard from her was so strange.
“Uh… I’m sorry, Chersha, could you say that again?”
So Ashera, who forcibly caught up with her frown, calmly controlled herself and asked again.
She said, “I said I want to take Ed as my escort.”
To Ashera’s question, she answered slowly after Ashera calmly drank the tea.
Only then did Ashera nod her head, albeit slightly.
An escort knight. That’s right, Chersha Kalua’s existence as an escort is indispensable for any magician of her level.
I understand.
But at first she apparently asked herself Ed Chersha and I think she said so.
‘Was it an illusion?’
Ashera shook her head for a moment and opened her mouth with a soft voice, catching her face.
“I’m sorry, but… Ed has already inherited the surname of Gleard many years ago, so now the name he has is too heavy to be someone’s escort.”
That’s why I tried to reject Chersha’s proposal, citing the rationale.
“Recommend other, higher quality, more reliable articles instead…”
“Ed Gleaard. No matter how heavy his name is because he inherited the surname of Glead. Asherah Glad, then did my name feel so light to you?”
Chersha interrupted Ashera’s words in a sharp tone and looked at Ashera with a cold, hard expression.
The long platinum hair seemed to show her presence more and more as it scattered its light over Chersha’s little nod.
