I Will Quietly Disappear

Good evening, everyone. My name is Luche Lina Listil. Right now, I have a very cute cat in front of me.

"Aah! That's cute!

Not yet, a cat that hasn't grown up, with black bees all over its white hair, and a brown cat, the other an adult black cat.

"Master Rouchet really says..."

Gowen said, blushing embarrassingly at his scary face.

An adult black cat walked over to me. When I get my hands on it, I lick it.

"She's adorable."

When I stroked my face to massage, I rubbed it to feel good.

(You black cat... somewhere? But it's impossible. You can't tell cats in the first place.)

I stopped thinking and concentrated on stroking the cats. Then there was a great shadow before me.

"That's the cat that was picked up last time! Long time no see!

Larum narrowed his pale eyes funny as he crouched like me.

"Oh, Larum."

"Hello, Princess. How are you doing?

Larum jerked around the cat's head.

"Yes."

"Larum, what happened to the audition?"

Gowen looks frigid and glances at Larum.

"I'm done!

"Is that true?

Funny I doubt it.

"It's true! Believe me!

"You must be a habitual criminal!

Apparently, Larum often shrugs off his archery. I just heard from other soldiers that they were "very strong and dependable".

"What are you saying in front of the princess!

"It's because I'm going back, you idiot!!

(Somehow, he seems to be a comic genius)

Nyah, and the cats have rubbed their bodies. If the black cat climbed to my body, it climbed and stuck in my arm.

(Ugh! Cute!!)

"Captain Gowen!!

I heard a voice calling Gowen from the rear like I was in a hurry.

"What a noise! It's in front of Master Rouchet!

"Also, I'm sorry. Adolphe wants Captain Gowen here in a hurry."

"Your father?

What is it?

"Did you hear what happened?

"No. He said to call me anyway."

"Okay. Larum stay with Master Rouchet."

"Yes."

"Master Rouchet, I'm sorry, but please stay with the cat."

"Okay, I get it."

When I said that, Gowen left.

"What could it be?

"I don't know? But you care..."

"Right."

"All right, let's go"

"Yes?"

I looked up at Larum's face unexpectedly. Larum found something very interesting, a look on his face.

"Huh? So we're going after the rest."

"It's an important job, isn't it? Don't interrupt."

"I'm not interrupting anything. I'm curious, I'm just gonna go check it out. Captain Gowen told me to stay with the princess, but he didn't tell me not to follow him."

"No, I do, but..."

"You care, don't you?

"Yes, but..."

"Fine, I'll go."

As I twitched, Larum held me up with a black cat to see if I got caught up in it.

"Hey!!

He ran in the direction of Gowen's departure without hearing my protest.

It was creepy quiet back in the mansion.

"Hey, Larm... Is it something so quiet?

Into the mansion we were uncomfortable in the hallway where we didn't even look like maids. It's creepy coming this far.

"No, that's an anomaly... Hmm? Carriage?

"Carriage?... it's true. Do you need a customer?

The carriage given by Larum was a simple carriage in pitch black, but if you look closely, it is expensive, with plenty of elaborate finishing. Is it the crest that is carved in the middle?

"That's..."

"Larum?"

He has the face that Larum is incredible.

"What's going on? Is there something in that carriage?

"Master Rouchet, you don't know yet... What country that crest refers to"

"Huh?"

I asked back unexpectedly. And then, to the next word I was told, my head turned white.

"That is the carriage of the Gardia Empire..."

"Uh..."

What I recall is that dangerous boy emperor. He manipulated Joshua and nearly killed Eich.

"Princess? Are you okay? I'm shaking."

Larum was peeking into my face when I noticed.

"Huh?"

"I'm shaking my hand holding my cat."

I was rattling and shivering when I saw my own hands.

"Nyah."

The black cat looked up at me and nodded his cheek.

"... it's okay. No problem."

I don't know, but I feel a little nervous. I guess I was relieved because the cat was warm.

(Calm down, me. We have fathers and uncles here.)

"... why is there a carriage of the Gardia Empire here?

"I don't know. But it's not normal. I wonder what that means. What's happening?"

"Your fathers are being dealt with."

"Maybe it's Master Adolphe who's dealing with it. Captain Gowen must have been called. There must be no one in the mansion for a reason. They're paying me."

"Princess, what do we do?

"What do you want me to do?

I listened straight back, not knowing what it meant to be asked.

"Perhaps if I were to show my guests around, I'd only have a reception room. Why don't you go?

"... you won't let me in. It must be important."

"Right. But you can ask what it is."

"Huh? Say what..."

"If you're ready to ask, I'll show you. Princess Luche (,,,,,)"

He turned his unusual cold eyes to me.

If I hadn't listened here, there wouldn't be a conversation between the Gardia Empire and your fathers in my ear.

"... I'll ask"

I'm sure your fathers will move, even if I don't do anything. But as far as I'm going out of this country, I want to know about the firepowder that's going to fall on me.

"You have to, princess."

I hit and changed from the cold gaze earlier and got a tender look.

"Here, where?

"Shh. Don't be too loud."

After that, Larum walked into a room with me.

"Here?

"Master Alec's office"

"Ha!? Your uncle's office isn't a good idea if you get in on your own..."

"Sort of. Uh, oh, here it is."

Larum thought he started touching the office wall, and part of the wall snapped with a guttering noise.

Then. Make a giggly, deafening noise, and the wall moves.

"Uh..."

What appeared in front of me was a hidden passage.

"Here."

"Welcome. To the secret passage... I can't believe it. It's good you put it on, but are you sure you want to take that cat?

"You don't have a choice. I can't let you go."

I tried everything. But I became the feather to give up to snag Larum's hand trying to pull him apart.

"I really hope you don't squeal."

"Right. It's... it's quiet."

"Nyah."

What a careless reply.

(I wonder if you really know)

"You have no choice.... Well, let's go."

Larum moved on as he rubbed his hand caught by the black cat.
