Vol 13 Chapter 239 (2/2)
In that space with heavy pedestrian traffic, Eva made a certain request to the troupe… to the tribe
“… And this is the song and story I’d like you to spread It can just be in ruing fee in South Beim We’ll make it dirt cheap”
For a travelling troupe, cheap lodging was an appreciated gesture Hearing that, the young-man-like head elf touched a hand to his chin
“It’s a request of a daughter of the Nihil We’ll listen to it By the way, there are a nus I’d like to ask about Fort Redant, or perhaps Fortress, I’d like to know the particular details of it The story of the Hero who fought back an army of monsters is in fashi+on these days We just flowed into Beim ourselves, so we’ve no clue of it”
Eva, upon hearing that
“Where did you coht? Galleria? Rusworth? Doesn’t look it I doubt it’s Cartaffs, and…”
The head elf let out a sigh
“Bahnseiht not”
Eva nodded at the head, and inquired with a serious face
“Bahnseie it for info on Bahnseiotten that bad?”
The head looked at the sky
“War, or rather tra down It was the first time I ever witnessed an arrasped by the future queen of Bahnseim, it reeks of abnormality It could be the case she’ll leave her name in history In a bad sense”
Eva knew of Celes’ abnormality If you hadn’t seen it up close… if passed by lip, it was only the cruel queen-to-be of Bahnseim, end of story
That was how Beim was Even when info on Celes came in, it was a common tale Or perhaps an atrocious woman… is how they summed it up
Some part of the city was convinced it was fire on the opposite shore Eva listened to the head’s words of Bahnseim
“I got the feeling ruin was co closer by the day The es alone, even the larger toere only woees turned bandit are increasing We were attacked a number of times on the way”
Abandon food supplies and run, or fight a that story, Eva was sure it was truly a terrible situation
“Hey, aren’t there any nobles rebelling against the throne? Feudal lords are fine too”
On her question, the head shook his head
“There are none To rephrase, there were Past tense Many feudal lords have been crushed Centralle’s ar, but the Walt House was also involved It just goes to show their title of Bahnseiest wasn’t for show”
Lyle’s ho the country’s opposing powers At that, Eva felt a hint of irony…

… May was counting the increasing food stands in South Beim
“Oooh! There are three more today! Is that one sweets? The next smells ofcourse”
She looked over the stands with an expression of bliss, as she happily thought over what she would eat today
“Yesterday was deep fried, so meat for today… no, it’s hard to dismiss fresh sweets But I don’t have the war funds to eat all of theedy”
May generally only ever used her money on food, and she had received some from Novem so she could walk the stands and eat
She didn’t have the intent to go as far as to e her own money, and she was sure she was fine that way Because of that, she received payment as a daily allowance from Novem
“Okay, it all starts with so citrus, why not”
There, the small-built may stopped her feet’s course to the stand, and turned around
With long, unkempt black hair, and a coat that wasn’t yet a h stature stood
“… If you’re going to rae here, then stop This happens to be one of my favorites”
Her opponent was Marina
Marina tossed the paper bag in her hands towards May Taking it, May found the bag arm, and her eyes sparkled as she unearthed the skewer meat within
Enduring the drool creeping its way to the surface
“W-what are you planning?”
She took so as she asked
“Nothing It’s been a while since I got to go that wild It was fun, so I’ you And I’d like to otten hard for me to live in Beim”
May observed Marina’s state, and noticed that was a lie She took a skewer froht it to her mouth, and bit in
“Introduction fee, was it? Very well, I’ll arrange it for you”
“Thanks for that With failure, and a few other reasons tacked on, they ran off with all theup, so now I’m broke”
That one did not look like a lie
May bit further into the meat on the stick, and ate it heartily as she looked at Marina
“And so? What’s your real objective? For someone of your level, ma’am, I’m sure any Guild would accept you”
Marina laughed
“When you’ve lived et on well in the world”
With her own form, May knew Marina would feel unco she learned to blend in with the world of humans
But even so, looked on from around, it’s true it looked uncomfortable
May quietly continued on into the an speaking
“I don’t really care about only the East Branch escaping, and being isolated as a result But you see… I have an interest in the leader one like you would serve Is that boy also strong?”
Lyle had Marina’s eyes set on him…

… Within the Jewel
In Lyle’s room of memories, the room he had once lived his life The form of his youth… LYLE quietly sat
He crossed his legs on top of the bed, left his elbows against his lap, and placed his jaw on his hands
His form was a child, but he a bit of presence to him
『… The Fifth will have stay a while I want Lyle to know hi him But before that…』
LYLE looked up at the ceiling
『Even if you don’t want to see who you really are, you’re abandoningto develop abandonment issues This forer years, and yet…』
Lyle’s room in the Jewel had become a room filled hat he didn’t want to see The Jewel had interfered Celes had interfered And it was a room born as the result
And the young boy LYLE was the form of the current Lyle himself
LYLE was sealed away, and the Lyle that was born was just a se body
He had rown mentally stable, but there was an insecure existence to him
If LYLE’s memory returned, that balance would crumble Then who am I? It was clear he would come to be haunted by such worries
『Lyle, just face me I know you’re scared of the potential you lost But even so… you can only erase me and move on』
In an expression unthinkable from a child, LYLE muttered sorrowfully…
