104 Lesson 3: Choosing a Guard and a Samurai (1/2)

”Excuse me. Navre Sprout, come in.”

After Gakkun went to get Navlu for a little while, consciousness turned to the door with Navlu's voice, which he hadn't heard in a long time.

I opened the door and Navru-kun came into the office, but I couldn't help but notice. Because Navru-kun's hair was surprisingly short. I used to have the impression of a good young man in a beautiful shape, which has changed because of what I call sports pruning in my previous life.

Navru-kun glanced at me and stood up upright and immovable. Gakun comes back from behind it, and the two of them line up.

”Well done, Navre. Take it easy. Have you heard what Gark called you?

”Ha! I heard you got your recommendation this time for an escort assignment for His Royal Highness King Anisphere's New City Plan! The more immature you are, the more you remain ready to serve in shattered pieces if His Royal Highness Wang wants!

Ugh, yeah.... changed from a good young man to a hot blooded man while not watching? I have more muscles than before, and I feel like I have more piercings. What the hell happened...?

”Sister Wang, what do you think?

”I don't know... Navre. You've changed your mind a lot, haven't you?

”We're out of time! It's up to me to shame our immaturity and work out again since then!

I get a slightly troubled look when I get a crisp reply saying it's good to make it easier. I know you're nervous, but here's the thing, I want you to make it easier...

Restore your mind and cough up. Navre can't help being nervous about me.

”As Gakun told me, are you willing to take on my escort?

”If that's your order, I will obey.”

”So what if it's a favor, not an order, but a veto?

Navru-kun silences my inquiry for a moment and turns his gaze to the Knights of Sprout. The Sprout Knights captain, who was gazed at by Navru-kun, just snorted quietly and silently.

Once Navru-kun closes his eyes and exhales slowly. Were you stretched hard, your body losing strength for a long time and becoming a natural.

”Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere, perhaps you have said that in view of my state of mind. First of all, thank you for your concern. And if you're going to give me the answer, if you get the chance, I hope you can appoint me as your escort.”

”... is that all right?

”My allegiance is to the Kingdom of Palletia and to the royal family.”

Navru-kun's expression with his clenched fist against his chest is serious in itself. I thought I should believe you because you've done so much for me.

”Okay. Navre Sprout, I appoint you as my escort to head the new city. That loyalty, I did keep it. I expect a good job.”

”Even in our stead”

Navru-kun returns my appointment with the courtesy of a knight. I haven't believed Navre yet, but if I do get a change of heart in New Heaven, I might even have a chance to talk to this somewhere stiff Navre.

I guess I should ask Yufi and Raini what they think now at that time. Whatever it is, now the escort is decided by Gakun and Navr.

Then, with resentful eyes, Gakun was staring at me with a darker and darker atmosphere. I even have a rinse and a toothpick. I'm a little scared.

”... treat me differently than I did... resentful... resentful...”

You're a pain in the ass, too, Gah! 'Cause I'm embarrassed to be polite to Gakun again! Because I showed myself too much of an adventurous vegetarian!

Although Navru-kun compares me to Ga-kun as Gyo-kun, I kept slipping my gaze to escape the grudgingly ga-kun.

I was terribly impressed that the Commander of the Sprout Knights was finally looking at me with a face like, ”Are you all right?”

Ilia greeted me if I came back out of the palace trying to escape Gakun's grudging gaze. I headed to the salon to rest my body and hung onto the fuzzy couch.

You guessed I was tired, Ilaria came back with tea ready. But when he saw me sitting on the couch dressed like a jerk, he narrowed his eyes.

”Dear Anisphere, it's not sloppy.”

”'Cause I'm tired... Ha, I don't know why I'm not really going to take over or choose an escort...”

”Isn't that a sign that we've accomplished so much?

”I wonder...”

I guess it has nothing to do with what I've done with Gakun and Navr. I think you two have preached in the past. If I think so, I notice the odd commonalities between the two chosen as escorts.

The Ministry of Magic simply because when I was gone, my influence was greater than I thought. I can't take care of them forever because I'm supposed to move on my own.

”I think you're tired, Dear Anisphere. This time he chose me to accompany him and two samurai.”

”Oh, it's decided. You two are.”

”I wondered if Anisphere would prefer a large number of people, so I took two people in view of the need to replace them, etc.”

”Yeah, that would help. When do I get to meet him?

”I'll call you now, if you don't mind.”

”Are you out of the palace now? I guess I'll see you then.”

”I'm in awe”

Ilia leaves the salon with a bow of grace. Well, what kind of people were chosen? Mouth the tea that Ilia brewed for me as I inflated my imagination like that.

After a while, Ilia brought back two samurai. One is a girl my age. The hair color is herd blue and the braided hair is wrapped around the back. Its standing behavior is so natural that it always looks like a grin because of its narrowed eyes.

The other is still a young girl, about twelve years old, even with a big quote. I'm nervous about bees compared to the girl with the herd blue hair standing next to me, and I can't get too much movement. Her hair is pale and golden, and her eyes are purple as beautiful as an amethyst. Her eyes are also slightly moistened by tears because of the tension.

”Thank you for waiting, Master Anisphere. I'd like to introduce you to a new samurai who will be dedicated to Dear Anisphere. Priscilla, Charne, say hello.”

If Ilia encourages herself to introduce herself, Priscilla, a herd-blue haired girl who cares for or naturally takes care of a nervous young girl, steps forward to give her a token.

On closer inspection, I finally realized that Priscilla was one of the maids entering and leaving the palace. She turns back to me with a smile on her face.

”This will be your first time talking to Her Royal Highness Sister Wang like this. My name is Priscilla Soussarer. I will be the daughter of Count Soussarah, who once worked for the former Ministry of Magic.”

”The old Ministry of Magic...?

I got a surprise look at Priscilla's introduction. Even though reconciliation was going on now, I frowned at the fact that I was going out of my way to come up with the Magic Ministry's name.

Priscilla never breaks her grin at my reaction, staring at me with her narrowed eyes.

”Yes, my father now fits in as an advisor to the Spirit Ministry and as a cauldron my brother is dedicated in the Spirit Ministry. We are also cordial with Count Voltaire.”

”Count Voltaire... oh, Lang”

Lang officially succeeded the housekeeper a little after my birthday to become a young count. Rumor has it that it is aligned with Marion, who inherited the Count Anti family almost at the same time.

Doesn't being kind to Lang sound so bad to me? Someone I can't read my thoughts on, kind of reminded me of Miguel.

”When I hear about the former Ministry of Magic, it worries me about my impressions, but what about there?

”Yes, I thought I'd tell you what I meant from the beginning.”

”Sincere?”

”I, my future dream, am the mistress of Her Majesty Queen Uphilia.”

.................. hmm? Hmm? What did this guy say?
