Chapter 54 (2/2)

「That’s not true at all」

「If that’s so, that’s good too Rather than that, let’s go somewhere」

「It’s bad to pick up married people you know」

「It’s alright to ask for coht?」

「……I guess so」

If she says that, I can’t say anything back

Well then, what should we do

I don’t know h

We came to the sea that was a little bit far away

Guernica’s capital, Lumo, is near the sea

We’re immediately there e flew

When we landed, a long coastline can be seen

An ereen sea, that is tens of times prettier than what there is in the world I was before

「Sea huh」

Veronica was unruffled

It’s the sea near Lu

「What are you planning to do taking me here?」

「Wait a ht now……『Adaptation』」

I casted ic on Veronica and me

「There, it’s finished」

「Was it ht now?」

「Un」

「I’e」

Veronica said with a smile

It looks like she liked me more and more

That there is more than ten thousand of them……I should probably not tell her

「Now, let’s go」

「’Let’s go?’, where to」

「To the bottom of the sea!」

I pulled Veronica’s hand and ran

It’s the opposite pattern from earlier

Being strongly pulled, Veronica almost lost her balance

「W-Wait a oes on, we’ll enterーーwe entered the sea」

「It’s fine, it’s fine」

I didn’t mind and continued to pull Veronica, PashaPasha, while splashi+ng the water, ent to the sea

It reached the heel, it reached the knees, it reached the waist

Veronica was being noisy, but I pulled her to the sea without caring

We completely entered the sea

Veronica closed her eyes, and endured by holding her breath

「You can open your eyes now」

「Eh?!」

Veronica was surprised, she opened her eyes

She looked around

「Here……we’re in the sea, right How can we normally talk?」

「It’s the effect of the ic, makes one spend time in a place that one can’t usually stay as if they were in land」

「That’s aic like that」

「Rather than that, look, fishes are swi there」

I walked, towards the direction where there are fishes

Thanks to『Adaptation』, it doesn’t feel like we’re in water at all We can walk normally

There were fishes swi in the air

It was a strange scene

「Heee〜」

Veronica squatted down

Sheon the sea bottom

TsunTsun, she reached out her finger, and the fishes ran away

「Waaa〜」

Her eyes were shi+ning happily

「Let’s walk for a while」

「Un」

Taking Veronica as already in high spirits, and took a walk on the bottom of the sea

We sloent down the slope

All that we can see was a different scene co fun

「It’s a that you can think of this」

「I’ Griic so that it would be interesting』」

「He〜」

「It would go well most of the time, but sometimes, I also fail」

「Fail, what kind?」

I talked about the things that I failed to do up until now

It felt that I can boast more of it rather than the ones that I did successfully

The ones that are failures, has the results that I didn’t expect, so in fact, it was quite interesting

After we had taken a walk, ent up to land

With a refreshed face,「U〜n」, Veronica stretched

「Thank you, Lucio」

Her tone and the way she speaks returned to the mature one e first talked

Surprisingly, it ht be this one that is truly her

「I’ve been quite refreshed」

「Coet distracted since bad things that happened」

「Ara, did you not spent time with me with that kind of intention?」

「I’ht now」

「Fu〜n」

Veronica stared at me intently, somehow, her expression is stiff

Is she angry that I forgot

「As I’ve thought, Lucio is more mature than I expected More so, compared to that stupid older brother」

「Is that true」

「Un, you’re a good e of how good of a man you would become」

I wonder

「I ht be a little frustrated」

「Eh?」

「Just nonsense of a wo, don’t mind it」

She winked at ht, she’s pretty

「Well then, see you later Be friendly with your lovely wives」

「Un, byebye」

I waved my hand, and went separate ith Veronica

I brought the shells I picked up on the bottom of the sea as a souvenir, and returned to the mansion

「Ah! Lucio-sama」

Sylvia ca for?

「What happened」

「It’s serious, it’s a visitor」

「A visitor?」

「Yes, it looks like she is the queen of this country before」

「……I see」

Well, she would be in a hurry for sure

I readied myself

The ex-queen ca serious

I sis, in what occasion, and in what situation, which ic should be used at the best time

It’s before thatso she should be quite old

……it would be hopeful if she isn’t a grandma

「What is that person doing right now?」

「I have passed her to the drawing room Somehow, she was very troubled」

「I see」

She’s troubled huh Well, thinking of the circumstance why I came here

「Lucio-sae of clothes?」

I thought It ic to become an adult with formal clothes

「No, there’s no need to make her troubled more than this」

「I understood」

I reached the drawing room, I entered

「I a, my name is Lucio Martien, de, su?」

I’ot surprised by the person inside

The person as therea troubled face just like Sylvia said

It was Veronica whom I was just with earlier
