The sa evening, in the harbor section of the castle town.
The upstairs part of Rajid's shop was recently renovated. Outdoor seating overlooking the ocean was also provided on the second floor.
Ein walked there only a few minutes after the store was closed.
"---Yes, Your Highness."
It was Rajid's slightly trembling voice.
Coming from Shuzeid, a tropical port town, he opened a shop in the Imperial City, where he had previously wielded a fist against Ain. Sylvard knows that, and Rajid has t with that Sylvard before to apologize.
But even so, it was a mistake.
I never thought the king would go to his shop himself.
It would be more impossible to see the kings who ca with only a few guards and sat on the new terrace seats, and stay as usual.
Yes, yes?
anwhile, Ain answers with the usual attitude.
Ein sotis borrowed a handwash and exchanged words with Rajid on the road leading to the terrace seating.
"Your Majesty made a reservation a few days ago... but I didn't think you were really here...!" What am I supposed to do!? "
"As usual, we would be satisfied if you had a delicious al"
"... that's why it's always difficult to do exactly that."
It's all right. Grandpa was looking forward to it, so don't worry about it.
"That's why I'm looking forward to it...!" If you serve a dish that doesn't et your expectations, it's ridiculous! "
"I don't think so," Ain laughed bitterly. Ein, who once again offered Rajid his kind words, then broke up with him and took a seat on the terrace.
At that ti, Rajid scratched his cheek when he broke up! and laughed at the image of a strong slap.
Have you made feel confused?
At the round table set on the terrace.
Sylvard, who seed to be relaxed by the pleasant sea breeze, told Ain.
And the beauty of the world sitting next to him also opens his mouth.
"Ein. I should've said sothing--"
"No, Mom and Grandpa are going to make Rajid nervous."
It wasn't the first three people in a long ti.
There was a beautiful brown girl on her way to the round table.
That's right. If you guys talk to each other, it's going to be tough.
It is the queen Lalua.
In other words, the king, his queen, his daughter, and the four princes are here. Given the nature of Ishtarika, it's obviously unusual.
But you can have as much ti as you want to enjoy cooking.
Especially lately, everyone has been busy.
Krone and Chris are not present because this seat is their concern. And Elena, the mother of Krone, said unto her, How dare the four of them eat?
Sylvard, who fought back a few tis, Krone was strong with Krone. The end was crushed, and Sylvard was spoilt for that, so this seat was reserved for him.
"But I don't think they want to see Ain."
This is a letter that Chris brought back from King's Landing shortly after he returned today.
The letter contained a wish from Lugis, the Prince of the Dark Elves, which was imdiately confird by Silvard.
You
Lara Lua's tone of reproach,
"Are you talking about work even though it's really a seat?"
However, I used words that were gentle and embarrassing.
Sylvard, who had a bad expression on his face, and Ein, who looked at him and said, "I'm fine."
"Let's not talk too much, let's not share our thoughts."
"Fufu, Ein is also enthusiastic about her work."
"That's right, I'll be king next year."
Olivia loosened her cheeks to say that she was happy just by looking at him with the utmost love at Ein.
Hearing Ain's words, Lalalua bitterly said, "Well, just a little."
But, Grandpa, let's wait until the food arrives.
"Hmm. It's a great dish." I want you to stay warm while you're at it. "
Therefore, a word is exchanged about the letter that Chris brought.
"What does Ein think about the letter?"
"I think we should et, if you don't mind, Grandpa or the nobility." If the other person is going to be a part of Ishtarika, then that's the best thing to do. "
"That's right, but if so prince is going to visit this kingdom, we need to make sure."
Ein can predict that too.
It was also on the agenda during the dialogue with the Iron Nation.
Will you be visiting as a representative of the country or a representative of a race?
"Left, in the forr case, it would be like accepting the Dark Elf as a nation when we accept it. The situation is slightly different from that of the iron country."
I think Ein-kun rembers that ti, but he's been declaring war as one country since the beginning.
"Well... at the ti, it wasn't at the stage of admission or disapproval."
"But Ein, I've heard from Chris about the letter he wrote to Ein. According to that, the other party said that they wanted ti to talk about the matter they were talking about, right?"
As Olivia said, Ruggis still wanted ti. It's about whether the dark elves they lead can be entrusted to Ishtarika. Therefore even as Lugis coth to the king's city, he has a thick line of ancient royalty in the kingdom of the dark elves.
Sylvard's verdict would have caught my attention.
"As a grandfather, is it unacceptable to visit as a representative of the country?"
"It creates unnecessary pain." Especially for the nobles, it is only natural that so people say that we have co from a secret place, and that we have done such a thing in our land. "
It's not long since the iron country incident.
"Yes, but... this continent is really too big." Even though the first emperor united, this is how the hidden nation lives. "
Ein sohow looked away from Sylvard uncomfortably and drank the fruit water in the glass. Olivia's eyes and eyes t. She understands Ein's intentions to behave like they are now and smiles as she does so.
― ― ― So,
If you don't want Lord rinus to get rough, you don't care, do you?
LaLaRua said in a gentle tone as the silver hair fluttered in the sea breeze.
"As it stands, the most important thing is the words of those who lead the clan. If you don't intend to make things worse, Prince--no. Lord Lugis' position will not be altered by his will."
Hmm. It's as if you're saying there's nothing sad about Ein's results.
"Do you think you have grief? There's no such thing as my proud grandson."
"I know so much about that." All I wanted to say was that Lugis had so dissatisfaction and had a different idea from rinus. "
"That's the ti. Whether or not they should move to be recognized as autonomous territories, like Heim, is not yet at the stage of thinking."
For the ti being, the Ishtariki side is not going to take the land that the Dark Elves have lived in until today. It's just a matter of standing in front of each other, and I just want to be clear about where we need to be.
Particularly important for Ishtarika was whether or not they could be in peaceful relations.
In the anti, since rinas is coming to take care of Ishtarika, it beca like this ti.
"The position of Lord Lughis is the sa." Even if it is unacceptable to visit as a national guest, it is still linas who defines its position. I don't think Lord Lugis has the authority to decide. "
"Perhaps you will co as an ambassador to the Dark Elves."
That is the reason why Lughis visits the capital of King Ishtarica.
Not as a country, but as a proxy for the chiefs of the dark elves who live in every region of the continent.
Nevertheless, that was the end of the story.
Rajid brings the food in a nervous manner, and for the ti being the work is over.
Rajid stroked his chest as he watched Sylvard enjoy his al. Looking at him, Ein grinned.
◇◇◇◇
And in two weeks' ti many things passed. rinus seed to be concerned about Ishtarika's concerns, and things progressed without any particular difficulty.
Thus, the flow was ready until Lugis ca to Ishtarika.
But it was not in the king's city that Lugis first set foot.
It was Ist that he walked by.
The reason why it is an Ist is that there was a resistance to letting Ishtarika suddenly enter the king's capital, and Lugis wanted to thank the researchers.
It was because of this unanimity of interest that I deliberately went through the ist.
It is no exaggeration to say that he left the forest for the first ti, but for Luigi, the journey to board the airship and go for the ist was a series of surprises.
The sa is true of the guard he brought, and it can be seen that the Dark Elves had many feelings for the first ti in the outside world (Ishtarika).
A group of people including Lughis was in a guest room in Isto Magic.
Is this what happened out in the woods!?
Yeah... we're surprised too
Lugis, who was passing through the guest room, exchanged such words.
It is an old Elf word, a word that is not in normal use.
Basically, the old elf language is used in their town, but in the past, the language called common language was not used. For example, there were tis when I was dealing with dwarves, so it wasn't crushed knowledge. The common language is just that only so Dark Elves have learned.
"Apparently, the guests are surprised."
According to one researcher, Ruggis was in a hurry to cough.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted, and I got my hotown speech out."
"It doesn't matter." I've been there, too, but I know you've cherished the ancient culture. "
"That's cool. It would be great if you could say that."
Lugis was truly relieved by his upright face.
In addition to Lughis' party, this room is dressed as a representative of the researchers on the Ist side and a knight dressed in armor as an escort.
The knights say nothing but watch.
In the anti, Lughis cut out a new fla.
"Thank you for helping us." Thanks to you, the tree has regained its vitality. "
"This is where we got the unusual information. But Lord Lugis ca with great honor to the rest of the race. I'm curious, but is there a reason?"
The intent of the question is simple, because the Dark Elves have been stuck in that place for a long ti.
I don't say I didn't know any other species, but it seed like I was used to talking to people who lived out in the woods.
"... no, I don't think so."
It was a pure question that ca to Luigi's expression.
There was no answer to the abrupt question, and there was no other answer.
"Excuse ."
The researcher quickly apologized and changed the subject.
The story goes on: from the surprise of the Lughis who went to Ishtarika, including the matter at the Divine Tree, to the story that has never been taken down by the world for a little talk.
Eventually it was a break, and the dark elves took a seat to go to the handwashing.
They borrowed a handwash from the lab, and it was their way ho.
Can we really see each other?
I wonder if you're the prince of the king.
Who else is there? Didn't you forget what we left the woods for?
That's not true. For the pride of our dark elves, and for Her Majesty's sake, I ca to judge Ishtarika. "
Yes, that's why we need to et the Prince as soon as possible.
Walking down the hallway, they continue the conversation in the language of their birthplace.
Do you want to ask if I can't see you soon?
I was wondering if I should stop. So if you let Ishtarika get distrusted, she might not be able to see you anymore. "
Then, Luigi was impatient with the words of the guard.
But then...!
I raised my voice a little, attracting the attention of the knights around .
Luigi leaned down slightly embarrassed with a bad expression on his face.
What's going on?
A knight called out to Lugis.
The knight holds two knights by his side.
Until now, he was also a knight in the guest room.
"Hey, nothing!" Don't worry about it! You seed a little nervous! "
"Well, let know if there's anything I can do for you right away."
"Oh... thank you for your concern"
Since Lugis and the others walked away.
The previous knight and the two knights who were standing beside him turned their backs when they lost sight of Lugis. Then we headed out of this building, in front of the knights nearby.
At that ti, the knights were supposed to be the sa, but the other knights bowed their heads deeply against the three knights.
◇◇◇◇
The reason for this can be seen in the horse-drawn carriage parked at the back of Isto Magic.
The three n who had secretly returned to the carriage took off their helts in the carriage.
It's pretty desperate, isn't it?
The first person he said while taking off his helt was a silver-haired elf.
She is now in and out of Roland's lab.
"Yeah, I think so too."
The next thing I said was Chris.
With silver and gold and hair that distinguish one another, they turn their faces simultaneously to the third knight.
And when the third man took off his helt, he ca out of it,
"... um, I don't understand the old Elf's words like the two of us."
It was Ain who said with a bitter smile.
Why are these three here, as usual.
Ein was worried about Lugis at Ein. However, because of the situation in Krone, I am basically unwilling to leave the capital.
But he cos to Ist for a reason.
Ist is equipped with the most advanced magic tools, and even though it is a new dicine, it is like a nutrient, but it was made with the cooperation of Sylvia.
For what, naturally, for Krone.
It was prepared for Krone's body by Sylvia, who was inspired by Ein's bamboo. In order to confirm that, and this ti about Lugis, Ein took the initiative.
The point is that I was basically traveling for Krone.
I can't say that I can just use the example of the bamboo in the first place.
First of all, it is too precious, and the power is too strong, so I am worried that it will not have a negative impact if I use it too much.
Sylvia struggled a lot this ti to make it a product that would not be a problem even if she used it regularly.
And Chris and Sierra, who accompanied him, prepared for these events.
Fortunately, the Dark Elves were also using the old Elf language, so it was clear that they were carrying it.
And when they had heard the words of Ain earlier, they told them what Lugis had spoken.
The sound of wheels moving through the cobblestones and a slight sway enveloping the carriage.
"Hmmm... I don't think there's anything going on here..."
Then Chris questioned Ein's words.
"What's the matter? Sothing bothering you?"
"Look, this is about the Iron Kingdom." There was a story about the iron land being cursed by the Dark Elves. That's why, as far as I'm concerned, I thought there was sothing... "
"... then, if it has sothing to do with linus-sama, is it another Dark Elf?"
If you're going to do sothing to us.
It was a word full of Ain's inclusion.
The next person to open his mouth was Sierra.
"Even with His Highness's help, I'm still trying to find out if they're holding anything back with state-of-the-art magic tools." and Chris couldn't find anything suspicious either. "
"That's why I'm wondering."
"I see. Your Highness is wondering what the curse on the iron country's cultivated land was brought through."
Ein nods and answers.
"That's why I told you if you were going to do sothing to us, right?"
"There's sothing about the Divine Tree, so I can't remain vigilant... after all, it might be a good idea to wait for Lord Lugis to enter the King's City."
"Yeah. Chris is right. I'd like to wait a minute." That's why I touched Luigi-- "
"Wait, wait a minute!?" Are you saying that while Master Ein is at Ist!? "
"Your Highness! That's too---!" Perhaps you've always said that you should be next to Master Krone! I was able to confirm one thing, so I thought I should return to the King's City as soon as possible! "
Actually, there is a good reason why Ein should stay a few days in Ist.
I can't take ho nutrients made for Krone as soon as they're ready. I'd like to try it out.
Then who will try it? Ein thinks he should try it. The presence of a slightly thin shadow due to the fact that the Ain has beco too strong is due to the presence of toxolytic EX.
It takes so ti to purify the nutrient, and the nutrient can remain in the isotope for several days in preference.
At that ti, she wanted to sew the gap and deal with the matter of Ruggis.
Of course Sylvard forgives for this.
A lot of things were already happening.
Whatever Krone drinks, it's not until I check it out.
Then, looking at Ain, who had spoken out, Sierra couldn't help it.
"I heard you're getting along with year after year..."
"Thank you. Actually, I do."
I don't know if the expression "I'm afraid of Ain" was correct, but Sierra smiled again and did not make any further suggestions.
Your Highness, I was wondering if Ist and the Royal Capital could be flown back and forth by airship.
"... that's it."
Ein opens her mouth slightly unhappy.
"I was told not to." At first, I was going to do what Sierra said, but when I heard it from sowhere, Krone told to stop it. "
"I understand. Master Krone doesn't need such a busyness." Didn't I tell you to co and stay at Ist? "
"That's right, isn't it? really, where did you hear that from....."
In fact, Krone didn't hear Ein's thoughts from another third party.
It's all about the way she treats Ein that she's been cultivating for years, figuring out what Ein thinks and what she's trying to do for herself.
It is by no ans self-conscious.
Krone's pointing it out with her own mouth was sowhat bleak, but she must be relieved that she caught Ain's eye.
Both Chris and Sierra knew about it.
"I'm full of it today... but Chris, you can't show off your usual pomp just because you're going to be alone with your Highness."
"And if you don't do it!" Ein-sama! Recently, I've been doing better than before!? "
"... maybe"
T-That's probably what it is!!
And it ca to pass, that Sierra was with him, to know the words of the sa old elves as Chris. But for all of us today, we're going to be Ain and Chris tomorrow.
When this happens, I can't stop rembering the old days.
If you think that Ist will do special tasks, the story of boyhood will co to the back of my eyelids.
(Well, what do we do tomorrow?)
Ein stays in Ist for a few days, but let's start by thinking about how to deal with Lugis.
Ain smiled gently as she saw Chris sharpening his lips and impregnating his beauty with pity.
◇◇◇◇
After returning to the inn that evening.
In the sa hotel room where she had stayed before, Ain took out the ssage bird as in the past, dressed in a rough outfit because there was no more to do today.
"Um--" How's your health? I went to the inn. "
For the ti being, I sent a short ssage to the ssage bird Krone had.
Then, a few minutes later, the reply arrived.
It's okay, and I can hear Ein's voice, so I feel like I can still fly.
and.
"When I was told that, it was Ain who thought about leaving once..."
"I'm looking forward to Ein telling that I'm here and that I'm returning to Ein. That's why you can't force it."
I wonder if Krone had anticipated it, but he kept saying those words.
Hearing the words from the ssage bird, Ain exhaled and laughed. After all, I thought Krone was good at one and slapped her on the cheek.
Okay, good luck.
There are two important tasks.
One is to check the nutrients for Krone yourself. And one more thing, it's about Lugis.
I'd like to know more about him by speaking directly to Rugis.
Ein went down to her, trying to keep Lugis and Chris together.
