104 Lesson 3: Choosing A Guard And A Samurai
"Excuse me. Navre Sprout, come in."
After Gakkun went to get Navlu for a little while, consciousness turned to the door with Navlu's voice, which he hadn't heard in a long time.
I opened the door and Navru-kun came into the office, but I couldn't help but notice. Because Navru-kun's hair was surprisingly short. I used to have the impression of a good young man in a beautiful shape, which has changed because of what I call sports pruning in my previous life.
Navru-kun glanced at me and stood up upright and immovable. Gakun comes back from behind it, and the two of them line up.
"Well done, Navre. Take it easy. Have you heard what Gark called you?
"Ha! I heard you got your recommendation this time for an escort assignment for His Royal Highness King Anisphere's New City Plan! The more immature you are, the more you remain ready to serve in shattered pieces if His Royal Highness Wang wants!
Ugh, yeah.... changed from a good young man to a hot blooded man while not watching? I have more muscles than before, and I feel like I have more piercings. What the hell happened...?
"Sister Wang, what do you think?
"I don't know... Navre. You've changed your mind a lot, haven't you?
"We're out of time! It's up to me to shame our immaturity and work out again since then!
I get a slightly troubled look when I get a crisp reply saying it's good to make it easier. I know you're nervous, but here's the thing, I want you to make it easier...
Restore your mind and cough up. Navre can't help being nervous about me.
"As Gakun told me, are you willing to take on my escort?
"If that's your order, I will obey."
"So what if it's a favor, not an order, but a veto?
Navru-kun silences my inquiry for a moment and turns his gaze to the Knights of Sprout. The Sprout Knights captain, who was gazed at by Navru-kun, just snorted quietly and silently.
Once Navru-kun closes his eyes and exhales slowly. Were you stretched hard, your body losing strength for a long time and becoming a natural.
"Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere, perhaps you have said that in view of my state of mind. First of all, thank you for your concern. And if you're going to give me the answer, if you get the chance, I hope you can appoint me as your escort."
"... is that all right?
"My allegiance is to the Kingdom of Palletia and to the royal family."
Navru-kun's expression with his clenched fist against his chest is serious in itself. I thought I should believe you because you've done so much for me.
"Okay. Navre Sprout, I appoint you as my escort to head the new city. That loyalty, I did keep it. I expect a good job."
"Even in our stead"
Navru-kun returns my appointment with the courtesy of a knight. I haven't believed Navre yet, but if I do get a change of heart in New Heaven, I might even have a chance to talk to this somewhere stiff Navre.
I guess I should ask Yufi and Raini what they think now at that time. Whatever it is, now the escort is decided by Gakun and Navr.
Then, with resentful eyes, Gakun was staring at me with a darker and darker atmosphere. I even have a rinse and a toothpick. I'm a little scared.
"... treat me differently than I did... resentful... resentful..."
You're a pain in the ass, too, Gah! 'Cause I'm embarrassed to be polite to Gakun again! Because I showed myself too much of an adventurous vegetarian!
Although Navru-kun compares me to Ga-kun as Gyo-kun, I kept slipping my gaze to escape the grudgingly ga-kun.
I was terribly impressed that the Commander of the Sprout Knights was finally looking at me with a face like, "Are you all right?"
Ilia greeted me if I came back out of the palace trying to escape Gakun's grudging gaze. I headed to the salon to rest my body and hung onto the fuzzy couch.
You guessed I was tired, Ilaria came back with tea ready. But when he saw me sitting on the couch dressed like a jerk, he narrowed his eyes.
"Dear Anisphere, it's not sloppy."
"'Cause I'm tired... Ha, I don't know why I'm not really going to take over or choose an escort..."
"Isn't that a sign that we've accomplished so much?
"I wonder..."
I guess it has nothing to do with what I've done with Gakun and Navr. I think you two have preached in the past. If I think so, I notice the odd commonalities between the two chosen as escorts.
The Ministry of Magic simply because when I was gone, my influence was greater than I thought. I can't take care of them forever because I'm supposed to move on my own.
"I think you're tired, Dear Anisphere. This time he chose me to accompany him and two samurai."
"Oh, it's decided. You two are."
"I wondered if Anisphere would prefer a large number of people, so I took two people in view of the need to replace them, etc."
"Yeah, that would help. When do I get to meet him?
"I'll call you now, if you don't mind."
"Are you out of the palace now? I guess I'll see you then."
"I'm in awe"
Ilia leaves the salon with a bow of grace. Well, what kind of people were chosen? Mouth the tea that Ilia brewed for me as I inflated my imagination like that.
After a while, Ilia brought back two samurai. One is a girl my age. The hair color is herd blue and the braided hair is wrapped around the back. Its standing behavior is so natural that it always looks like a grin because of its narrowed eyes.
The other is still a young girl, about twelve years old, even with a big quote. I'm nervous about bees compared to the girl with the herd blue hair standing next to me, and I can't get too much movement. Her hair is pale and golden, and her eyes are purple as beautiful as an amethyst. Her eyes are also slightly moistened by tears because of the tension.
"Thank you for waiting, Master Anisphere. I'd like to introduce you to a new samurai who will be dedicated to Dear Anisphere. Priscilla, Charne, say hello."
If Ilia encourages herself to introduce herself, Priscilla, a herd-blue haired girl who cares for or naturally takes care of a nervous young girl, steps forward to give her a token.
On closer inspection, I finally realized that Priscilla was one of the maids entering and leaving the palace. She turns back to me with a smile on her face.
"This will be your first time talking to Her Royal Highness Sister Wang like this. My name is Priscilla Soussarer. I will be the daughter of Count Soussarah, who once worked for the former Ministry of Magic."
"The old Ministry of Magic...?
I got a surprise look at Priscilla's introduction. Even though reconciliation was going on now, I frowned at the fact that I was going out of my way to come up with the Magic Ministry's name.
Priscilla never breaks her grin at my reaction, staring at me with her narrowed eyes.
"Yes, my father now fits in as an advisor to the Spirit Ministry and as a cauldron my brother is dedicated in the Spirit Ministry. We are also cordial with Count Voltaire."
"Count Voltaire... oh, Lang"
Lang officially succeeded the housekeeper a little after my birthday to become a young count. Rumor has it that it is aligned with Marion, who inherited the Count Anti family almost at the same time.
Doesn't being kind to Lang sound so bad to me? Someone I can't read my thoughts on, kind of reminded me of Miguel.
"When I hear about the former Ministry of Magic, it worries me about my impressions, but what about there?
"Yes, I thought I'd tell you what I meant from the beginning."
"Sincere?"
"I, my future dream, am the mistress of Her Majesty Queen Uphilia."
.................. hmm? Hmm? What did this guy say?
"... Yes?
"It is the mistress aspiration of Her Majesty Queen Uphilia. Best regards,"
"Where in that introduction do you say hello!? No, no, hey Ilia! By what standard did you choose this child?"
"As a samurai, I can work. Only the Countess is good enough to educate her, and she was a desirable person to be able to assist with the social work that Lady Anisphere did not like. If there's a problem, as you can see."
"Not as you can see!? Well done on getting into this outhouse!?"
"Good luck"
I ran out of words with a good smile, this guy. Well, it's not cute to say it small, is it?
"The mistress is the Aya of the Word, excuse me. I worship Her Majesty the Queen of Uphilia, and I just want to warmly come under her feet. More importantly, I want to be kicked and looked down with those chilling eyes..."
"I'm sorry. I can't keep up with all the thought processing, so why to my samurai?
"Because of his excellent work, he said it would be easiest to push him against Anisphere to pull him away from Master Uphilia..."
"It's not just a hassle!?"
I'll try to protest against Ilia, but where's the wind blowing in Ilia?
"Of course, we also want to serve His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere with all our heart. You are the one whose heart is crushed above all by Her Majesty the Queen of Uphilia. If Her Majesty the Queen of Uphilia is dear, I swear I will protect you with this life."
"The way I orient my loyalty is diagonal..."
"Because I'm not willing to interrupt you two. Please, treat me like a servant and I'll be happy with that."
Dark. This Priscilla kid, the character is thick anyway. I'm getting a little sloppy.
"... because it's true that you're really good. If you meditate on character and behavior, you work well."
"Because you're good, I'm the one who keeps this thick one?
"So do you want to put it beside Master Uphilia? If Lady Anisphere doesn't take you, you're probably going to be placed on Lady Uphilia's side after Raini, right? I'm wearing a cat in front of Master Uphilia."
"Nyan."
............... I know exactly what you mean when you say he's the one you can't leave here.
"... ok. If you say you're good, I can make you work, right? You're not gonna freak out, are you?
"Of course. If my work leads to the glory of Her Majesty Queen Uphilia, I will do it in any role."
"I wanted my nature to stay down..."
"I revealed to His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere because I thought it would be more rubbing later when I found out. I'm tired of simulating all the time."
Phew, there was a deep sigh of zero on Priscilla, who sighed and put his hand on his cheek. There's no doubt that Ilaria can use it to infer that she's here.
... I don't think Yuffi would make a mistress or anything. But apart from that and this. I can't leave this pervert beside Uffi. I have to ask a lot of personal questions later.
"Then I will step back. Regards, Your Highness."
"Oh, yeah... uh, can you introduce yourself to that kid, too?
"Yes! Welcome to the first meeting, Your Royal Highness King Anisphere! My name is Charne Persimon! I'm the daughter of the Viscount Persimon family!
Hit and change with Priscilla, who was natural by the time she was infidel and infidel, and her cheeks are about to burst into Sharne's initial greeting. Is it healing?
But the Viscount Persimon family? It's a family name I've never heard of before.
"Viscount Persimon's... sorry, I've never heard of that name"
"Yes, I thought I had no choice. My parents' house was on the verge of collapse until recently. Wang Du's participation in the social gathering was not easy, and your father was also thinking about returning the title..."
It was cliffier than I thought. Charne, who talks about her parents' house, was a little shadowed. You've heard bad things...
"So, but! Thanks to Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere, we were able to restore our home! If I could meet you, I'd love to thank you for being a royal maid!
"Huh?"
"Thanks to the magic props invented by His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere, both the territorial and family problems were solved once and for all. Her Royal Highness King Anisphere is a savior to the Viscount Persimon family!
Stare at me with your eyes sparkling like Charne was excited. Pushed by an innocent favor, I lean back a bit. You spared the fall because of the magic trick? And family issues?
Whether you guessed my doubts or were ashamed of getting excited, Charne, who seemed a little lit up but calmed down, told me the situation.
"The Viscount Persimon family has been plagued by massive outbreaks of demons in the realm over the past few years... and they were in massive debt because they were damaged by crops due to the natural disasters they were wasting there. My father also thought I was going to lose my money and not be able to continue being a lord. But with His Royal Highness King Anisphere spreading his magic props, the demand for spiritual stones has increased, and more homes have offered their support."
"Support?"
"I had a pioneering place in the territory to produce spiritual stones, and it was still unexplored. The top aristocrats who tried to connect us to that pioneering land offered us friendship and support. And the prevalence of Mana Blade has lowered the gear consumption of front-line knights and adventurers, showing signs of rebuilding. The other magic tools were delighted with the people on the front lines, and they came back to life."
Yeah, weapons are expendable, too. In that regard, Mana Blade can certainly reduce the consumption rate if it is not even used incorrectly. That worked, too, Mana Blade.
"Later, I have a brother... who had a very low amount of magic. So it was one of the reasons my father tried to give up his title, even if it made me feel painful to continue our Lord's position. With the spread of magic there, my brother began to show talent in his studies."
Heh. I don't think you're talking about someone else, that brother of yours.
Being noble doesn't always bless you with magic. And until a moment ago, it was only to the disadvantage of the nobility to say that magic was low.
But now I have the magic I spread. If my brother shows me talent in the field of study, which is also about magic, I can expect him to be a talent in the future Ministry of Magic.
"Both the aristocratic college and attendance were in jeopardy, but if I went up to work for Royal Castle without attending the college, I could turn all my tuition to my brother. I also wanted to serve His Royal Highness King Anisphere, so I gave up all the way to college."
Attending an aristocratic college is, as a matter of course, expensive. If they were ordinary aristocrats, they would let them go through, but the aristocratic children, poor aristocrats and unable to pay for their schooling, go out on public service and earn their own money.
I knew the kids who were learning by hiring tutors with that earned money, but attending an aristocratic college is one status. The handes that don't get it are very big.
Some examples, like Ilia, did not dare to choose an aristocratic college for balls aim, but Ilia would not be helpful because it would enter a special example.
"As good as it gets. Now we know what happened to Charne, so does that mean it was right for Ilaria's eyes?
"Yes, Charne can do things around herself, and we have decided that she seems to be able to accompany Anisphere's adventurer investigation and so on. So it will be in the form of a half escort and concurrent duties. I thought education should be provided here. I chose her because of her high loyalty to the Anisphere and expectations for the future."
"Yes! I was fighting on the front line as a lord's daughter too because I needed a demon crusade! I also understand how adventurers work!
As long as it takes place, as long as I listen to it, I can see that Charne is purely my preferred talent. My loyalty to me is high because I spared the fall of the house, and I know exactly what Ilia chose.
Priscilla, who has a little difficulty with her personality and aspirations but is considered competent as a samurai, and Charne, who is likely to be associated with my actions and who is expected to be loyal. Yeah, isn't it bad for you to walk as a dedicated samurai?
"Ilia, thank you for your selection. I'm going to take these two."
"I'm in awe"
"Priscilla, Charne. Especially to the former. I'd like to say hello, wouldn't you?
"Yes, Your Royal Highness."
"Nice to meet you!
I smile bitterly when I see Priscilla giving an elegant courtesy and Charne still working hard and pully.
When I paired it with Gakun and Navru the escort, I couldn't believe I had a very thick face again. That's what I really thought.
