Chapter 70 (1/2)

That Serves as Proof

“shi+el has changed”

physically?

In the carriage headed towards the company, I heard my love rival’s name from master’s mouth

is it unpleasant?

Master’s expression as heout the as as usual, expressionless His eyes followed the scenery passing by When sunlight shi+nes in fro an elbow on theis a work of art Being a person who originally had good looks, once he makes that type of pose, he is quite attractive

…really?

“Was she that strong? I can’t believe that she dissolved the engagement herself”

“There is also such a thing as strength that is hard to perceive”

not all strength is obvious

He just didn’t know, this conversation can be settled with this one sentence Humans are really just like that They cannot understand the truth of each other’s hearts Both sides just speculate and simply wish for their speculation to be true She was just underestimated As a convenient woman for master

but no

An engage to prevent the downfall of the Alfreds Knowing that, shi+el Mercury chose to aid master I think she was the most convenient woman there was There is no way that proud woman would not notice that, she had probably accepted that truth

tough truth to accept

That is probably why she couldn’t allow herself to ithout fighting

that would be devaluing her own dream

After all she is wonderful She rele complaint, she dedicated herself to er sister, Meia-sahts with Nanaki To declare that she is this suitable for

nobody picks a losing battle

“With the engageeted”

“And consequently, there is no longer a need to protect her”

“That’s true”

she will be fine…right?

Master responded without any hesitation

…heartless

In the first place, Nanaki did not say this with any intention to imply that it is evil The opponent is the imperial capital, the lesser unnecessary burdens, the better Nanaki is strong, a special existence But theene to ruin me then I should just abandon it That is what it means to have the resolve to live

one cannot shoulder too much

“Am I a coward?”

“If you run, then that ht be true”

so dont you dare

I responded to the lacking question with a si the iving him the words he wants The one shi+el-sama told to choose, is you

so choose yourself

“Haha……Nanaki really likes shi+el”

“I respect pride If one has a definite pride, if it shi+nes, then I think it is beautiful”

no less

That is the teaching of beloved Mother For humans to be humans, Nanaki knows that that is necessary

or they are just bugs

“…isn’t this the first time? That Nanaki talks about herself”

…ah

When I looked,not outside the , but at Nanaki Isn’t it okay to not make such a surprised face? I think that stupid look is kind of cute though Lovely Master

…gap moe?

“I have begun thinking that it is acceptable to talk about myself now”

“Then I et to see more of the Nanaki I don’t know from now on”

“Yes Just that……”

“Just that?”

you ht not like what you see

It would be better to be prepared, because so will come out, my master

it will be a shock :)

“No, nothing”

look forward to the surprise

You will understand not too far in the future

Until now, I have not really talked aboutE that title, I had shut my mouth afterwards About Mother, about Envy, about the prophecy too But, I feel that nothing can progress like that

so its time for a chance

So I chose to endeavour To endeavour to know him, to endeavour for him to know me

change requires effort

“I see Then I will look forward to it”

“Yes”

that’s for the future

In the shaking carriage, we talked about the future Is this counted as a pro that, I stood up

but for now

“Nanaki?”

“It seeuest Please wait here”

no appointment

The opponent is alone Descend froe that had decelerated and eventually stopped I took the lack of sound from master to be a proof of trust Nanaki will respond to it Because we master servant have an important bond

its only one

“Traitor Nanaki……!”

…not Five Emperor?

Those were eyes of anger Seeing that I understood the situation

“A personal grudge?”

guess so?

The are The Frost Eraved on the aric around, passing carriages also show no signs of caring Taking on this Nanaki alone, that is proof of a personal grudge The capital is not foolish enough to pointlessly throay valuable talent

especially not at Nanaki

“Shall we change the location? Or do it here? I do not mind either”

result is the same
