76 – 25. Do you think it’s possible?(2)
“Thank you.”
“… ….”
Kariel calmly guided her toward her chair.
A mere two steps is enough for her, but ten steps or more would be a daunting distance for her, as her legs are uncomfortable.
“I’m talking.”
“Ah, if not….”
Kariel returned with her water in her empty wooden bowl, and brought her own, as well.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
I try to express it with a voice that seems to go out.
“No.”
After answering calmly, Kariel turned to her place and thought about it calmly.
The scene she just saw.
And.
“… ….”
The other side of her dimly illuminated by a single candle.
As if it were going to swallow everything, but the darkness settled in as if it were natural.
In the sunken darkness, a shabby staff held in her hand, low and tilted.
I kept it in my eyes for a while.
“Do you have any questions about me?”
Let’s ask that question.
“Yes?”
She was the one who showed her reaction belatedly.
Kariel waited in silence.
… ….
“We are here… what? Did you just sit still? And?”

The party returned with washed dishes with a little fuss.
“Then what else do you need?”
Kariel raised her body with a smile.
“Ruirin. Are you going to stay here?”
“Uh, why?”
“Follow to follow. Or stay.”
“… I’ll follow you.”
Then the children start whining about why they don’t go to bed.
Just looking at the way she soothed the children with a puzzled face, she was literally an older sister and her eldest sister was no different.
“That, I am burdened for nothing….”
“No. Rather, we are afraid that we will be burdened by staying here.”
“That can’t be.”
Ruines tried to deny it, but Kariel calmly shook her head.
“Don’t worry. As soon as my or her business is settled, I will quietly leave this place.”
“… ….”
No one in her place knew what her words meant to her.
Just.
“… Sorry.”
“Nothing.”
Kariel was silent as she faced her, turning her head casually towards her.
“Riel-nim, are you planning on going to draw your sword again tomorrow?”
When Leo asked, Kariel only nodded her head softly.
“Then see you tomorrow!”
“Give up! Or did you still have more to wish for?”
“I have a lot to ask for. Rather, the elder said to ask the sword. So you have to stick around until I tell you what.”
“Ugh. I have to say something that makes sense.”
Lucy Lee started to peck at Leo like that, but she had already turned her back to Kariel who left the chapel, and she had no way of knowing what developments she had since then.
Although she was delayed, Rui Lin quickly followed her and asked curiously.
“You weren’t originally going to let me stay over there today? I thought it was just in case the guys who broke it today would retaliate because of his indiscretions.”
“… Can I descend?”
“Yes?”
Beyond executing what you are told to do, you even understand its intentions.
If you look closely, it’s safe to say that Ruirin is already a grown-up.
… No, actually, at that age, I’m getting married and engaged, and I’m going to have a child at the earliest, so it’s a little bit like treating me like a child.
Although her appearance is young, she is often mistaken.
“If she has a sister or a brother, it won’t be a big deal.”
“… ….”
Judging from the way Rui Lin talks, she seems to be more than basic.
If you look closely at her, you can guess her skills to some extent.
… In a way, she doesn’t have much interest in others, so maybe she didn’t observe that much.
No, if it’s an enemy, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he just looked around and noticed?
“… ….”
What do you care about?
When she returned to the Eden Revan Regiment branch building, it was relatively bright inside even though it was late.
As if there were still workers left, carts loaded with luggage came and went, and the people looking at them were very busy.
When you enter the entrance, the center is laid out like a small plaza, and the ceiling is wide open, so the view from the outside and the feeling from inside are completely different.
In the village, only the branch building is uniquely magnificent.
It’s the size you would only see in a city, so it’s quite grand.
Thanks to that, it may be located in an obscure place, neither inside nor outside the town.
“Are you here?”
I ran into Ruslan just walking down the hallway.
“Did you look carefully?”
“… Yes. Thanks to.”
As Ruslan tries to cling to Kariel, Ruirin glances at it.
“You are wagging your tail again and again.”
“Isn’t there anything that can’t be done? A woman seduces a man. Is it a very natural phenomenon? Aren’t you born that way too?”
“I have no mother or father?”
“Yes, yes. Well done!”
The two casually exchanging nonsense.
“Then, our cool guy? Go to your room. I have something to tell you, so I’ll visit you a little later. Oh, I’ll tell you to prepare water for washing, so please use it comfortably.”
“Lu. It’s good to work, but since I’m in the next room, I know how to blow the wall off if you moan.”
“Yes, yes. Our little one. Will you keep your mouth shut and do well? What would you like to do together? Shouldn’t our little kid be an adult now?”
“Oh really!”
… Have fun playing
It’s okay to wash your body in the stream, but you can easily soak your body in the hot water because you’ve prepared the water in advance and even boiled it.
“… ….”
Thinking about it, even though there was a public bathhouse in Jedo Island, it was hard to set foot in it.
What kind of attention do you want to see when you go there?
There is no time to be as defenseless as the moment you wash.
What’s more, there’s no countermeasure if the clothes you take off disappear.
… A bad memory came to mind, so I took a slow, deep breath to clear my head.
I didn’t know when and how it would be called, so I couldn’t take a leisurely bath like this.
… If I answered that I was late to the call while washing, it was usually treated as an excuse no matter how many times I tried.
This is largely due to my father.
Did you say washing up takes 500 seconds?
My father himself was actually like that.
Because I’ve been watching that for a while, my mother naturally knew that I would, and treated me thinking that it would happen later.
They still couldn’t forget the past.
Whether on the battlefield or in enemy territory.
For the two of them, the habit from the dark ages, when they were always on alert and had to get rid of even washing in an instant… Mine might have felt like slugs lagging behind.
I understand.
However, how far do you have to understand?
“… ….”
Though it’s like this, I’ve improved a lot seeing that I’ve become able to resent and get irritated.
-Are you determined to protect the lame girl?
“… ….”
Raise your gaze.
“Because I don’t need to protect you.”
-Why?
“… Didn’t you see it too?”
Borrow your eyes.
-A girl who is swayed by common tragedies and absurdities. Well, I know that much.
“Don’t you know that?”
-What do you know?
I want to clear my head and take a break, but I won’t let it go until the end.
Because he’s like a damn devil.
“The leg muscles and bones were in good shape beyond my expectations.”
– Yes?
“In other words, acting.”
When I inadvertently supported her as she was about to fall down, I came to know about her even though I didn’t try to figure it out.
“You must have watched your younger brother’s lameness in the past… It won’t be difficult to follow.”
-But your legs are still in good shape? If you don’t use it, your muscles will degenerate and your bone density and bone condition will deteriorate. Did you figure it out just by hugging him?
“… If even one side is out of sync, you have to feel a sense of incongruity.”
I didn’t specifically learn it, but somehow I found out about it.
… It was hard to explain what it was.
“And, after all, it was because of her that I got involved with the relief knights who do Venus or something.”
-Could it be a coincidence?
“A lot. However, it cannot be denied that the opportunity was cunning.”
It doesn’t matter if it’s not, but since you can’t be sure with just your heart, there’s no reason not to doubt it.
-I’m not swayed by beauty, so it’s nice to be objective. Well, since you’re a beauty yourself and you’ve been betrayed by women, you seem toxic.
“… ….”
Sounds irritating.
Let’s mention it as betrayal, even though I didn’t point out or say who it was.
Because Erath’s damn face had been pictured in her mind.
I wanted to scrape off her brain and her entire skull.
“The most important thing. Why… Did the sword not respond to me?”
-I don’t know. Or did you find a dead Grandeus somewhere and ask him directly?
“… ….”
Still.
Extremely selfish and unscrupulous.
I will become a vicious devil.

After washing, move to the assigned room.
I heard a knock on the door as if I was waiting scared to get dressed.
“Did you wash well?”
“Yes. Thanks to.”
It’s not that the room is cramped, but that’s based on individual use.
With only one person added, the interior feels quite full.
Well, except for the bed, the desk, and the hangers hanging on the wall, it was practically all the extra space to put things down.
It literally felt like a room designed for minimal use.
Leave the side of the bed, turn the wooden chair, and put your back on the backrest.
“You are kind! You can sit together. Thank you for your consideration though! Oops!”
Thanks to the fairly large candles hanging on the wall, the interior was bright enough with just one.
There was a tall, narrow wooden window, so at least the bleak scenery could be seen a little modestly.
“I was wondering if a message would come to Mr. Filbar and deliver it.”
“A message?”
“Yes. I’m sure it’s probably something you’re not happy with. The fact that vampires are gloomy doesn’t change whether they are here or there.”
It was an evaluation that felt bad for a comrade in the same demon world.
“I was also sent a separate report on the contents, but please don’t be surprised and check it.”
She handed over her red stationery.
In the middle, there was a black candle wax and traces of a seal on it, but… It was dark, so it was difficult to see properly.
Roughly ripped off, I took out the inlay and unfolded it.
“… ….”
I can’t see it.
In the end, I approached the candle and looked at it. What I learned.
“What did it say? Oh, if it’s a secret, you don’t have to tell me, so please feel free to take care of it.”
“… ….”
It was written explicitly.
There are rumors floating around about him being connected to the demon lord.
It was also written here that such unfounded rumors were spreading as quickly as an epidemic spread in other countries, rather than inside the empire.
In other words, it means that it is not a natural or normal structure.
From noble mtl dot com
That someone intends.
There was a note written on it asking you to contact me if you need any help.
“If it is written in such a way as to offer unconditional help, you better not take it lightly.”
… As if they were peeping, Ruslan pointed out just in time in a soft voice.
“… ….”
“It’s a fairly common tactic.”
