155 Episode 48: Good Luck to Be Changed (1/2)
”Speaking of which, it's the extraction of Master Anis, isn't it? The interior of the Adventurer Alliance resembles the Adventurer Alliance of the King's Capital.”
”Yep. In the future, the branch of the Adventurer Alliance was going to be set aside, so I came to the Alliance of the King's Capital and asked for it in an understandable way.”
”It helps me too!... Uh, so, uh, have some tea...”
It was Farna who managed to shake the subject and behave brightly, but just now she started to mozzle like she was distracted by the silent Navre and Saran.
They both remain hard looking even when they serve tea. He's about to harden to the air, and he looks at me like Farna's tearing eyes. Where did the splendid figure go earlier, Farna......
”Uh, Kohon.... If it's hard to talk, should I and Farna take our seats off for once?
”Ah. Yes, no, I'm sorry...... I was wondering what to tell you about that”
”... so is that. Master Navre and I know each other, but we didn't have any friends.”
”Hmm? Really?
Saran nodded bitterly at my questionable voice.
”We just got together for the same purpose, and there's no personal connection. Because I was only the son of a luxury merchant, and Lord Navre was the son of the Earl.”
”Phew...”
I'm convinced it's something like that. But it's also true that the image doesn't boil like Navre and Saran are chatting friendly.
But these two are two of the four people involved in Uffi's engagement breaking uproar. One is in captivity, one is in death, and if you think about it, the punishment given to both of them is light.
Because they weren't so deeply involved in the conspiracy, for some reason, but I don't know how they take it. It's not like I can ask, and it's hard to guess for you.
”Saran's been working in the guild ever since?
”Yes, because there was no other Ate to go to”
”... I was curious to hear that the Meki Chamber of Commerce had fallen, but you were leaning on your guild”
Asked Saran as Navre tried to gauge distance. Saran also nods at Navre's inquiry.
”Yes. Because of the evil deeds my parents worked for, I felt in danger, so I ran away. Then I took advantage of the fall of the Chamber of Commerce to win the fringe.”
”... well. You've been having such a hard time.”
”Master Navre, it would have been painful for you to live as a nobleman after that. I'm sure of it.”
”No, I'm just a kid who was protected by the house after all, too. Not as hard as you.”
”... I did have a hard time, but I still think I was lucky”
Saran gave a clear look to Navre's caring words. The cloudless look seems to respect my good fortune from the bottom of my heart.
Navre seemed discouraged by Saran's expression like that. I saw my hand jump unnaturally, either because of the upset.
Are you aware of the upset of Navre or are you not there? Saran keeps his words quiet.
”The house was chased, my life was targeted, I went into the guild to escape, I was going to live with my breath lurking...... fortunately there was someone like this who could help me and I could do a job for people too. I think you're still lucky.”
”... you're a fine man.”
”Isn't that the same for Master Navre? Winning the trust of His Royal Highness King Anisphere doesn't mean much.”
”Hey, isn't that how you say it like I'm an awkward person?
”It's true, isn't it? Master Anis likes people, but it's rare to trust people and put them aside. Looks like we've been round lately.”
He has looked at me with jito eyes as Farna said so. Ha ha, no comment!
Saran was laughing bitterly, too, but coughs and re-compartmentalizes to get him back on his mind.
”... you still can't chest each other if you look at each other. That's all we've done. I'm sure that no matter how much credit you accumulate, someone will point to you, or you will remain unforgivable.”
”... ah”
”But I think it's okay to remain unforgivable. It's also the property we got again. Not that I can be proud of anyone, but I've been through that failure, and there is now. That's what I consider lucky. So out of self-blame, you squeeze what you get... I'm sure that's what makes you sad”
Navre raised his face with momentum to Saran's words. My eyes are open and I'm staring at Saran in amazement. Saran looks back at Navre with an earlier clear look on his face.
There's another person staring at Saran like that. Farna is sending her gaze to Saran's side with a soft look that makes her feel motherly. That look made me somehow guess. of luck Saran had in his hands, what would be included in it.
”... why did you do that to me?
”Because I thought you needed words. He said that I was the one who lined up with him that day and lost everything once on top of it. Dear Navre, let me say it again. You are very fine. I think I had a lot of distress until I was here right now. Still, you are no different from that day, here as a son of the Count, and as a knight.”
Saran lays his hands gently on his chest and lays his eyes down. And bowed his head against Navre to admire him.
