Din no Monshou

"Dad, are you okay?

"Ooh, Regis looks like the four of us... but somehow we'll be fine"

"You're not okay with that."

The next day.

Me and Walkins were gathered in Shadyberga's bedroom.

I hear he had a terrible fever last night.

But he took the antipyretic that Walkins formulated, so he pulled the fever right off.

I stroke my chest down for a moment.

But he had a terrible general paralysis, and he didn't seem to be able to move for a while.

"Your enemies will do what they have done."

"You know that assassin?

"You must be the Stalin brothers. I've heard the story itself.

We also have a lot of exposure to the table, but we have the strength to just not be crushed "

"I see you're a celebrity in that world."

I knew Edgar.

With that said, did he make it to the inn safely?

I slept around the corner.

I don't know what to do when I'm drunk.

"... sorry"

When I was serious, Shadyberga groaned.

Squeeze and squeeze your hands together.

"I got on with the provocation, so I started coming to Wangdu.

If I'm the only one in trouble,

I'm going to bother Regis and Walkins... "

"Fair enough, Dad. Cheer up. Let's just say you had a life."

"That's right. We don't care."

Me and Walkins follow up quickly.

But Shadyberga was shaking his shoulders and regretting it.

There are tears at the end of my eyes.

"... on top of that, they even took the knife I received from Sefina.

I don't have a face to match her anymore. "

"If your wife hears that Lady Shadyberga is safe,

That's all you need to be happy about. "

"Exactly. I can't help but regret it now."

It's also important to look back, but I can't move on until I see the front.

Now we should set up an operation to take it back.

But I can't find a way to do that, so I'm in trouble.

There's no point in Shadyberga being attacked by powerlessness.

I should move here.

That's what I thought, Walkins slapped me on the shoulder.

"Master Regis, hey..."

"Oh."

Instruct Walkins to go outside the room.

When I left, Walkins came out as well.

Is it also a bad story if Shadyberga hears it?

"What's up?

"Yes, I am thinking of infiltrating the Horgos family as a last resort"

"... what do you mean?

"It means as it is.

Break into enemy territory to reclaim the knife and annihilate key enemy figures. "

Rejected.

I shook my head sideways in an instant.

Walkins shakes his hair and asks if the instant answer was unexpected.

"Why is that?

"I don't want Walkins to kill people"

"Sweet."

"Even if it's sweet. If it's sweet and you don't have to kill people, I'll be sweet."

It's just emotional theory if that's all.

Walkins won't convince me.

So I should talk my hands out here, too.

I said looking into Walkins' eyes.

"Besides, I'd be in trouble if they did that.

I'm going to destroy that house with a real attack. "

"What does that mean?

"So I mean literally do the duel and win"

"... but Master Shadyberga..."

"I want to talk about getting into it. I'm going back to my father."

I'll cut to the chase and try to get into Shadyberga's room.

Then Walkins grabbed my shoulder reluctantly.

"What?

"I was just talking about...

If you only reclaim a knife without killing your enemies, admit it?

"No."

"... why?

"I don't want Walkins to go anywhere dangerous. That's all."

Walkins eating down.

Against her, I said it succinctly.

"Servants are for use. It's the employer's duty."

"It could be.

But sending someone close to you to a dangerous place.

I don't want to feel obligated. "

…………

"Have you convinced me? Then let's go."

Now it's time I put my hand on the door.

The door opens, with a crease.

Then I heard a voice from behind that seemed to give up.

"... that's sweet, Master Regis"

'Cause they're Walkins.'

I'll answer immediately.

Warmer indoors than hallways are still comfortable.

Shadyberga was drinking the tea I brewed.

I don't drink much tea, but he and Walkins seem to have quite a mouthful to drink.

Well, there's a big idiot I know who drinks too much.

Compared to that, is it as cute as tea?

"What were you talking about?

"No, my dad was fighting the argument over whether the book that would cheer him up was a tutorial thing or an amphibian thing"

"What are you talking about!

Shadyberga begs for a stop with a crying voice.

Don't take it so seriously.

"I'm just kidding."

"Yeah, right."

"Yes, it's the sisters that my father likes."

"Nightmare still going on!?

Let's get down to business where Shadyberga is stuffy.

I'll pin my fingers and explain them one by one.

"Father, the current situation is very bad. Shall I check that first?"

"Oh, yeah."

"First of all, my father, the dueling man, is in this state. Definitely can't beat the enemy."

"..."

Shadyberga clogs his voice.

I'm sorry I'm depressed, but you're still reporting badly.

"Next, a knife, a family heirloom important to death, is being taken away.

It's obvious they're going to use this to make threats. At this point the disadvantage is doubled "

"... you're hopeless"

Ooh, the light gradually disappears from Shadyberga's eyes.

Hey, I need to show you some light.

Momentum that's going to be obsolete.

Walkins is listening to me in silence.

"Besides, none of us can fight because Walkins can't compete.

The duel is tomorrow, even as we bring private soldiers out of the house. It's imperative that we don't make it. "

"... is an octagonal blockage"

"So long, Dad. Do me a favor, will you listen to me?

"Something."

Shadyberga listens to me.

That's a lot of damage, if I may say so.

Let's talk about it. Saraha.

"Actually..."

When I slapped him in the ear, Shadyberga's eyes opened with amazement.

Raise your bare voice as you pamper your mouth like a goldfish.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! No, you can't do that!

"Fine, though. You just have to go back to your ex-saya later."

"I'll buy you some laughter and disappointment from the other nobles!

"What more will the fallen aristocrats lose?"

I didn't make any jokes and I asked you seriously.

To the sudden change of attitude, Shadyberga also gives a puzzled look.

"... well, that's"

"We've already cut off aid from the neighboring nobles.

Who do I shy away from? "

"Yay, I sure am..."

Shadyberga is worried with his head.

I know the logic, but you must be too risky to be lost.

But there's no point in making a breakthrough here.

"Master Regis. Tell this Walkins, too."

Oh, did you get help here?

You did it, Walkins. I'll have to praise him politely later.

"This is the kind of operation..."

"Uh, did you have that hand?

That's right, Master Regis, I don't think it's an aristocratic idea!

"Ha, more to say"

It's nobility that cares more about trust and pride than anything else?

Then it has nothing to do with this Din family.

There's smoke all around us. Fallen aristocrats.

Let me use any hand to win.

"I deduce this operation."

"I agree"

"Two-on-one, Dad?

"... Ugh, I get it! I don't care what happens."

"Half the blame."

"Surprising joint responsibility!?

"Fair enough, trust me. 'Cause I'm gonna make sure you succeed."

Still try to dampen Shadyberga and pass opinions.

My dictatorship.

You did it, next time I'll even build a bronze statue in the garden.

Walkins gave me a reassuring smile when I was working on it.

"If there's anything you can do to help, say anything"

"Uh, then Walkins.

When this duel is over, will you meet someone?

"A person?

Walkins tilted his neck.

Why don't you come with a pin?

"He's an ex-mercenary. I told you before, didn't I?

"Ah, yes. You're about twenty now."

"Right. He wanted to see me, so he could have some tea with me."

Copy that, sir.

All right, let's use this as bait to summon Edgar.

I don't think he's going to make a move without such a condition.

Thanks to me.

"Bye, Walkins. Let's finish the magic of the example tonight."

"Yes, maybe it's time to succeed"

Now you're ready.

And then if I learn magic, the operation starts.

He used my dirty hands.

Let's have a reward for that, too.

Right, I'm not even going to go with the execution...

Should I be prepared for mass bleeding and burning?

◆ ◆ ◆

My whole body runs like a beast.

All my desires were springing up in an attempt to lay the woman in front of me.

"Damn, I'm not kidding!

This is the basement of the mansion.

Even if I reach for my right hand, it will work.

But it looks like he's in a hurry.

The excitement would jump more than double when I caught him.

Now I was just chasing my back trying to escape.

My breath is rough. Sweat erupts.

But the only thing that satisfies this physical pain is intense exercise.

That's why I'm waving a knife like this.

"Hit me. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

"Are you done with that? I haven't scratched a sweat yet."

Walkins just dodging.

I couldn't have caught her like that for more than an hour.

Even if it is attacked with a training knife, it will be diverted all the time.

"It's too much.

We've been following the move since last year, but we're still in a cramped position. "

Fix what was pointed out immediately.

But still, the problem comes up in the potato ceremony.

The knife combat technique was quite challenging.

"The movement is rough, so let's take a short pause. Get your breath ready."

Take a deep breath honestly.

I already learned the magic I was looking for a few hours ago.

Now to make the most of the magic, he had a knife workout.

"Walkins is moving too fast."

"No. If you're a skilled assassin, you'll make as much of a move as this.

Because I'm up to that level. "

"... I know."

This training itself has started a few years ago.

A knife fighting technique was a must to use magic effectively.

Why does a knife lead to the use of magic?

The reason is clear.

Because you can protect yourself during chanting.

Also, if you improve, you can control the elephant only with a knife.

At first, I thought I'd try it with a straight sword.

My stature made my sword too big to work.

Rapier doesn't really fit my sexuality.

As a result, I got to a knife that was easy to handle.

When Walkins exhales one, he takes a hands-on karate stand.

"Then you'll attack me now, too.

Fight back with proper prevention. "

The moment I said that, Walkins' body disappeared.

At the speed of a few steps up to now, they're closing in on me.

"... Gu"

Stick out the knife.

But Walkins waved up his arm when he saw me move.

There's a sharp sound, and a knife dances the universe.

Walkins jumped with his bare hands.

"What an unscrupulous..." Ugh!

Walkins decides who I am.

I try to step on it somehow, but that's where the foot payment went in.

I can't stop falling off my back to the ground.

"... ghhh!

Ouch. I punched him in the back out of the blue.

Isn't that a little too fast for you?

That's a lot faster than just now.

I try to get up somehow, but it's laid together and I can't move.

Walkins looked at my face and laughed mean.

"Gotcha."

…………

Walkins smiled gently as I gave up and raised my hands.

And he pulled my hand to his own cheek.

Pale silver hair touches hands saggily.

Smooth as silk thread, my heart rattled the moment I touched it.

"Beautiful hair."

"Thank you. I'm trying to take care of it."

Indeed.

When I laughed, Walkins caressed my hair.

Keep it like a handkerchief, fingering your head back and forth.

"Please be careful, Master Regis"

"Huh?"

"Tomorrow. I didn't think you'd say something so unscrupulous."

"I guess."

So much so that Shadyberga lost his hips.

Even Walkins must not have expected it.

He peeks at me with clear eyes.

"I am happy to serve Master Regis"

He leads my hand to my chest, and he keeps hugging me.

Walkins' heartbeat comes through to me.

She looks like she's looking at things from a different perspective somewhere.

But this emotion that worries me about people.

This is common to everyone, and it's natural.

I'm just worried, too, in response.

And I'll try to protect it.

"I'm happy Walkins was a servant, too."

I stroked Walkins' cheek with my empty hand.

Thank you for always telling me so many things.

I'm really glad you're here beside me.

"It's time for bed."

"Right. It sounds like tomorrow."

"What about my father?

"I'm already off.

Whatever it is, they're going to the arena tomorrow. "

"Oh well. That's mean. And that guy."

That gut will have to be respected.

Besides, for the first time there was Shadyberga, my operation would start.

"Look at that, Walkins."

I stood up and said with my chest up.

Then she snorts deeply, smiling, too.

"Yes, this Walkins, I will do everything in my power to watch Master Regis"

Me and Walkins went up from the basement and back to their respective bedrooms.

The bathroom on the ground floor is probably for her to use, so I'm going upstairs.

Rest your whole body in the bath and lie in bed.

The duel, tomorrow.

settle with that durf in front of free nobles gathered from all over the place.

It would be a big mistake if I thought I had ended up with such a measure of assassination.

Always, I'll try to protect you.

And I'll try to take it back.

I thought of tomorrow's backlash on my eyelid.

Turn off the lights and you will be struck by deep drowsiness as soon as possible.

With that lust for sleep, I rested.
