165 Episode 58: For a choice you wont regret (2/2)

Uncle Drags smiled after seeing my expression like that. That was a grin that, as an elderly man, unexpectedly made me feel safe.

”Don't carry it, don't think about it, I can't tell you. What you carry is so heavy and honorable. That's why if you thought you couldn't bear it alone, rely on it around you.”

”... that's enough, I'm gonna be sweet.”

”It's easy to say that using people well is also the job of those who stand up, but I also understand that His Royal Highness Sister Wang is not good at being able to follow people. So sweet, maybe it's just the right salt plum.”

Uncle Drags speaks to me in straight words with a gentle grin.

”Try to worry well, think well, and not betray yourself. That will surely attract the best results. It must be our role to support you like that. People aren't always protected, are they?

”... my ear hurts”

I don't rely on my surroundings in the distance, even though it sounds like they say, but I think my ears hurt because I honestly admit it too.

Rely on me a little more, huh? I figured I should talk to someone about my opinions on that chemical......

”Huh? About that monster you ran into in Filwach, is that it?

Eventually, after worrying about it overnight, I decided to unveil it thoughtfully to the members of the Magic Bureau. The first thing I reacted to when I cut out the topic was gut.

”Yeah. I don't think there's such a monster gobbling on the boulder, but I was also curious that he was vampired, and I could just leave him like this...”

”Nothing... Isn't that Anise's job?

”Right. I think the problems that have arisen in Filwach should only be solved by local residents. And I've already reported it to Her Majesty the Queen, so you'll think about the response there.”

”That's right, but come on... if there's another one like that, and that's what vampires do if they're lost, I'm worried.”

Gakun and Navre frowned as troubled as I zeroed my honest mood. Charne is silent with a strange face, and Priscilla remains faceless and refrain.

It was Tilty who broke the air, which was followed by subtle silence. I haven't seemed interested since this topic started, but now I'm just a little grumpy with my nose.

”Ha. That's ridiculous, is that why you've been looking depressed lately? Totally stupid, Master Anis.”

”... won't you tell me you're stupid again and again? Tilty.”

”What's wrong with saying stupid to a fool? It won't be Mr. Anise's job, as the people who accompanied him say. Even if we leave the dead behind, it's not Lord Anise's fault. Although it would be the responsibility of knights and adventurers to protect the land. Did they tell you to help? It's not, is it? Then it's none of your business.”

”I know that...”

”If you knew, you'd realize it was just a wagga mom, wouldn't you?

Wagamama. I'm just wondering if I can leave this anxiety behind. You had that thought on your face, and you've looked at me like Tilty was staring.

”I think I'm free to say Wagamama, and if you can take responsibility, you can do whatever you want. But that's not something you can take responsibility for.”

”... Ugh...”

”You can do whatever you want if you want to make it even at the scene where you can't get out and not go around without you. Can you take responsibility for that? You can't take it, can you? Then that's not what you have to do. All right? Dear fool.”

”Dear idiot!? Finally they stopped calling me by my name!?”

I try to appeal to Tilty to protest, but Tilty just snorts in a steady, clear way.

It was Tomas who put his arms around him and kept his mouth shut to take the field in.

”Dear Anis, you say that monster is a monster that you can't handle without being as powerful as Anis, right? That's not the kind of thing that comes out wheeling. Assuming you leave, Mr. Anis is in charge of this magical city, isn't he? You have a lot to do. Doesn't that mean you also take responsibility for fulfilling each of your duties?

”... I know that.”

”Are you that scared? Someone could die out of their reach.”

I breathe in the words thrown at me by Tomas, pulling my lips together. As I remained silent, Tomas continued his words after sighing.

”That kindness is a good place for Lady Anise, and that's all that was so difficult, wasn't it? The monster who showed up in Filwach. So I want to take action, I want to avoid things that would cost people their lives. I know how that feels.”

”Yeah......”

”But if I give that instruction, it will be the responsibility of Master Anis. If you can take responsibility for yourself properly, as Lord Tilty says, that would also be Ali. You can think of as many reasons to attach them later as you can to convince them above. But really, that's Anis'... No, is that something that has to be Anis's?

I shake my head at Tomas' confirmatory question. I may not be able to handle it without me, but I don't think that's why I have to do it.

Even though I know it by my head, I can't think of it as the best way to do it.

”Don't move anything, I'm not saying. You know, there's someone you should just talk to before you move, right? Isn't it too late to talk to them?

”... Ufi or something?

”After that, it's for the King and the Queen Wang.”

”... well.”

I could only imagine a future preached with something similar. Still, I guess it's a lot better than not saying anything to sort your mind out, you know? I decided to think so.

”It's a corner, why don't you go to Wangdu tomorrow? What you're going to do here is a paragraph. The Devil's Sword of Gark and Navre is complete.”

”So is that. I'm going to show it to the Knights of Sprout. Maybe I can come back.”

Schnelvint in particular is Demon Sword No. 1 by artificial demon stones made for knights and adventurers.

It may be a good idea to ask the Sprout Knights Commander and the Kingsguard Knights for their opinions for future dissemination.

The fact that I was able to draw such a fun forecast for the future, and the fact that I was able to spit out a little inside, made me feel a little more comfortable.
