Chapter 63 (2/2)
「That’s it! I thought that she somewhat resembles someone. That’s right, so her atmosphere is similar to that fellow. Wild, pushy, and free, yeah, exactly that person. Haaa~ I feel somewhat refreshed.」
「I-Is that so, it’s good.」
Reddish tinge appeared on Dina’s cheeks who answers like so.
Looking at those two, Narasu feels pleasant.
When Roury and others enjoying the sweets, knocking sound can be heard from the door.
「…… You can come in.」
As the representative of everyone who stops moving, Souta answers the knock.
「Pardon my intrusion. Our side is ready for the audience, I have come to guide you…… are your preparations complete?」
This time, it’s not the butler-style man who guided them to the room who comes, but a female knight clad in armor.
Her gaze is sent to the fruits Roury and Arezel have in their hands.
When Arezel notices the gaze, she returns the fruit in a hurry.
While Roury throws the fruit into her mouth when she notices the gaze.
「Sigh, seriously, you guys are…… sorry for that.」
As she sighs, Narasu lowers her head to the female knight and apologizes.
「No, it’s fine really.」
As the knight knows about Narasu, she stops her from lowering her head with her hands.
「Well, you heard what she says, so will you please guide us?」
「……You are Souta-san aren’t you? I already heard the story from Dorusu-san, I sincerely wish you don’t rub the n.o.bles the wrong way.」
She puts up her forefinger to bring Souta's attention.
「I don’t know what you heard from Dorusu…… But as long as the other party doesn’t start anything, I will also do nothing.」
The female knight who already antic.i.p.ated Souta’s answer sighs, and then she moves again to guide the others.
「My order is just to guide you, I don’t know what will happen afterward, so for now, let’s go.」
By chance she happened to work at the castle, by chance she knew Dorusu, and by chance she caught the minister's attention.
She received this guiding duty was because of those overlapping coincidences. From the talk before, she had a feeling there would be trouble, so she wants this duty to quickly finish, or at least, that’s what she believes will happen.
After turning a few corners, they enter a wide pa.s.sage with a large door that’s incomparable to other doors they see on the way.
When Souta and others arrive by the door, the guard and the female knight talk about something.
「Well then, please proceed through the door once it opens. From there just go straight to the king…… Oh right, please stop about ten steps before the king. Since it seems the talk will advance inside, I will excuse myself.」
After bowing to Souta and the others, she leaves the place hurriedly.
Dina thinks about asking a few question, but it doesn’t happen as the guards already stand in front of the door.
「Well then, I will open it.」
Ahead of the opened door is the red carpet that continues until below the king’s throne, knights are arranged on both side.
In the vicinity of the king are his aides, and one of them is the minister who had been mentioned a few times so far.
Just like what the female knight said, they keep going straight and stop ten steps before the king.
The one that opens their mouth first is the minister, not the king.
t/n: i hate this chapter and next chapter (and probably the next 3 chapter after that too), they’re hard to translate, i don’t really understand the difference between keigo and standard j.a.panese, even though i unconsciously translate keigo into polite sentence, not knowing whether i do right or not is bad,
btw, sorry i’m late, my internet has been down for a couple of days, it just back on on thursday, this one finished on friday morning, but because of my messed up sleep hours, the editing takes longer because me and the editor don’t online at the same time (our timezone difference is only 2 hours), next chapter already half finished, you will only get 2 chapters this week, so i apologize beforehand because it will end in cliffhanger
