696 694 Hilt and Corbelt (1/2)
……
……
Hilt, who was staring at Fran for a few seconds, squeaks small.
”... I see”
What's it gonna be? I don't know what Hilt means by words, and Fran tilts his neck.
”It also means that Corberto is convinced that he will lose. This strength at this age......”
Is that what you mean? Hilt and Colbert, obviously Demitris associates, should have been close before. Maybe it's the same door or something. For instance, Fran is the person who inspired a friend to be broken.
Of course it's totally repugnant, but I guess it's also not something that I can honestly break off.
I also understood the meaning of a staring expression. Even if reason knows Fran has nothing to do with it, there must be complicated thoughts in front of him.
”Friends with Colberto?
”My friend... is my ex-fiancée. Well, because he broke the door, so did the story.”
”Ma'am, it's just that I was one of the fiancée candidates.”
He said he had more than one candidate for fiancée and that the man he thought most deserving of was officially going to be Hilt's son-in-law.
My son-in-law must be the man he deserves as Hilt's rightful successor to Demitris Stream. Naturally, the broken corbelt had been removed from the candidate.
”And Charlie, who stayed until the end, is a stronger and better man than me. You're close, and you look great, don't you?
”Really? I think so.”
Oh, it might not have been a simple story like friends.
Returned lightly to Corbelt, Hilt shrugs his shoulders in an equally light tone. But the look was clearly depressing.
Is this possible that Hilt is talking about Colbert...? I wonder if Corbelt hasn't noticed?
Me, Corberto just said I feel good with Mr. Io...
”Hilt goes to a militant tournament? Corberto's Enemies”
”I don't want to be a spectator.”
”... yes”
Hilt doesn't appear. I'm horrified, but Fran looks sorry. Hilt seems strong.
No, it's Demitris now, more than that.
”Fran, don't forget what you came for.”
”Mmm...”
You must have remembered the request in my words. Fran turned to Demitris.
”I heard from this man that the Lord wants to see Non, but what can I do for you?
”Mm-hmm. This. From the kingdom of Berios.”
”Hmm?”
I kept it, take out the leather bag to give to Demitris and put it out on the table.
I urged ahead with my gaze as Demitris received it.
”He said he wanted to hire me as one of the adventurers to send to the Goldician continent. There's a letter in there.”
”Hmm. I see.”
