88 After Days: Annispheres Birthday 01 (1/2)
”Come on, let's brace our bellies.”
The voice had enough power to move a stagnant place.
This is a meeting place. Several face each other and hold meetings to decide on one subject. But the meeting didn't go on and everyone was looking at each other.
That's why the word resonated so strongly. Everyone turns their gaze to those who cut through the air of stalling meetings. Some nod as they agree, while others skew their faces to indicate a difficult color.
”... I know what you're trying to say. But it is.”
”But what? You've become a very careful man.”
”Think about your current public opinion and speak up!
”After thinking about it, I'm saying it doesn't make any sense to keep your hands around me.”
Against those who roughed up their voices out of frustration, the cut off returned words to poke at them. Not only those who roughed up their voices, but also those with the same ideas as him, distort their faces.
”Indeed, we have lost our previous power. But is that why we live round our backs? You're not, are you? We are proud. This is what it takes to regain our pride.”
”But...”
”Shit! It's a seat for what, not just a seat given away. This seat has been taken over! Then let me argue with that responsibility and pride as much as I can convince!
No one speaks out against that voice. The quiet meeting hall had already become his private venue.
”The time has already passed. The more time is available, the less effective this measure will be. It's time to get up.”
”... so I guess you take responsibility when you make a mistake?
Someone shrugged, as I said remorse. Make that whine sound like laughing with your nose.
”Absolutely. My name is the Voltaire family.”
That being said, man, Lang Voltaire kept his sharp gaze and said so with a determined eye.
”One, two, three...”
In the courtyard of the outhouse I was bareback. I don't know when there will be an assault on my mother, and I can't be lazy because I don't have anything to do.
Um, but if I can spare you time like this, I'd also like to return to being an adventurer, wondering if Uffi would allow the boulders? Now I want to study it, and I'm going to say that Uffi will give me the budget.
Wait till one day, I think that's the story. Well, you can only be prepared, and it's important that you don't blunt your body. Workout, workout.
”Ah, Master Anis. Was it this way?”
”That, Raini? What's the matter with you?
Working out in the courtyard, Raini called out. Why would Raini be here when he was supposed to be working at the Royal Castle today?
”Master Uphilia called, please climb the castle”
”Huh? You want me to climb the castle? That's unusual.”
Being kept away from government, I rarely plan to climb the castle. When my father was king, I never felt so summoned, and if I didn't have to, I wouldn't have leaned on him, so I feel fresh the other way around.
But was there something called calling me? Looking at Raini doesn't seem like an urgent project.
”By the way, climbing a castle, right from now on?
”No, he wants you to come to the office in about two minutes.”
”Mm-hmm. Okay, I guess after I sweat and change. You can go back to Raini if you want.”
”Yes. Now if you'll excuse me.”
Raini was leaving with a smile and a brilliant courtesy. Since I started going to the royal castle, Raini has been sophisticated in its operation. I still remember when Raini was a samurai apprentice. Time flies fast.
Well, if I'm relaxed too, I'll be late for the time specified for Uffi, so I need to get ready.
”I have been waiting for you, Your Royal Highness the King of Anisphere”
After finishing his duties, he climbs the castle and is greeted by the royal maids. Compared to when I was called a princess, somehow it feels like I'm well treated as a royal, too.
That's not why I'm so tight. I don't think I can stay a kid on a boulder.
Sister Wang, you have to be firm enough to think you deserve to be called that.
”Thank you for letting me through.”
Well, what can I do for you, Yuffi? I'll go inside while you open the office door.
Uffi and Father sat on the couch for visitors to the office. What a Miguel it was to be in that opposite seat.
I saw a face I didn't think I would. I unwittingly round my eyes. What are you doing, Miguel?
”Anis, I'm sorry I called you”
”Fine. And why would Miguel?
”Ha ha, because I'm the one who's keeping this one”
Miguel says with a smile without his usual grasp. As usual, I sit on the sofa for visitors too, thinking.
After confirming that I have lowered my back, your father will look out for Uffi. Uffi also nods to respond, then coughs before he starts talking.
”I called Anis because I actually had a consultation”
”Consultation? Could it be a sudden story?
If I wanted to talk to you, I thought I could do it even after I got back out of the palace, but when I asked if it might be a rush project to say that Miguel was there, it wasn't Yuffi who answered.
”More info from me. First of all, I was asked to take care of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the King.”
”Asked? To whom?”
”It's the Spirit Ministry.”
”... the Ministry of the Spirit? Anyway, Yuffi, to me?
I see Yufi and Father's face with the face that I cannot believe. Uffi gave me a troubled look and nodded small. Father remains silent with an expression close to the top of the Buddha.
