Labyrinth Restaurant

"You've come a lot, Lisa. It's painful, but forgive me."

"Hi, I'm out of time, Simon."

This is the royal castle of Country G, about a week's ride south of the labyrinth city. Namely, it's Simon's home.

Lisa was coming to see Simon on the way home this day.

By the way, school is closed on Sundays.

There are now two of us in his private room. Simon says it's a bitter place, but it was more than five times the size of Lisa's room. The embassy room he had made his residence in the labyrinth city was also spacious as an individual's private room, but it seems about twice as likely.

This is still smaller as a royal private room, he says, but as Lisa, I'm overwhelmed.

"But all of a sudden I'm surprised you show your face."

Lisa today has an irregular ability to go anywhere in the world in an instant as long as she knows the rough spot, but she doesn't even know where Simon is in the royal castle, and there are all sorts of problems when she tries to visit from the front again in a position.

And as a result, we were able to rendezvous without making a scene, but Simon, who was informed of the many means he had taken to do so, is a frightened face. All in all, it was a futilely aggressive way of jumping over high walls in one leg, running through super high speeds that were not visible to the constant, sticking to the ceiling with the signs erased and searching the castle.

[As far as I'm concerned, I appreciate the field test for optical camo]

Extremely, the holy sword, deformed into a cloth shape, covered the whole body perfectly like a rider suit, and by twisting the light with magic, it also used an optical camouflage function that was invisible even in front of it.

With the recent myboom of the Holy Sword being a sublimation due to the mutual reinforcement of modern science and magic technology on Earth, Lisa had succeeded in becoming almost completely transparent human.

It was too perfect, and if I untranspared him in front of Simon, I was surprised enough that he was about to chip his pee in jeopardy. Although it was barely an attempt.

"Lisa, you, what... haven't you changed your personality in a little while?

"Really? I don't know for myself."

Simon, who spoke to me, isn't sure enough himself, but he feels strangely high about Lisa's personality being kind of upfront. When we met face to face before, when we met the day before we left Labyrinth City, it almost seemed like someone else, even though the atmosphere seemed to disappear even now.

"Well, should there be, rather than not being well? Hmm, yes... it's Lisa."

"Yes, what is it?

Simon said uncomfortably by the unnatural, after showing a bare gesture that reminded him of something.

"Tears don't suit you, it's a million times more beautiful to be laughing"

"............... Yes?

Lisa can't react to sudden hectic oral complaints.

But Simon lines up the words that go on without worrying about it.

"My hair is as beautiful as brushed obsidian."

"Ha... thank you?

Apparently, I can even tell you're being praised for your hair, but as Lisa, I can't grasp Simon's sincerity.

"And then, yeah... in front of the glow of those eyes, the moon in the night sky will also hide in the clouds in disgrace of what it looks like... how about that?

"What do you say? Even if they say so."

"Oh, actually, my brother and I took you to a night club before this. So I was taught the trick of talking to a woman."

My brothers say praise me anyway if you see me as a woman. They'll be old ladies, but young girls, but wives, but praise them, praise them, praise them anyway. That way, Simon taught me things like...

"But I'm still immature, I can't turn my tongue when I twirl like my brothers. Practice will make you better, so train your sisters and castle maids."

"Really? I don't know... you're unique brothers"

It seemed part of his training that Simon suddenly threw a verbal complaint at Lisa.

Well, in his case, unlike his brothers, he's not particularly inferior. People around you seem to smile and watch without daring to stop, as they work hard only as part of mastering the art of facilitating relationships.

Well, because I didn't stop at this time, it's going to be a big deal in the future...... let's just say that somewhere else if we get a chance.

◆ ◆ ◆

Now, having successfully reunited, the two came into the woods amidst the vast gardens of the royal castle.

Even when it comes to the garden, its total area is a little golf course and. It is so massive that there are forests, orchards, or rivers flowing. It was as many places as I could exercise without being seen.

"I don't know, Lisa... I don't know if I'd say it this way with what I'm being taught, but wouldn't I be too bad at teaching?

"... right?

Lisa has visited under Simon on several similar errands before, but has been unable to attach a proper sword archery at one time. So, it was today that I came by accident, and that's where the unexpected problems came up.

"This is how you shake Hyun."

"Like this?

"No, it feels like Zuba right now. More like this."

"Like this!?"

Thanks to the Holy Sword, Lisa can intuitively tell the best way to handle weapons of any shape from the start, or she can look at other people's movements and find them as gaps if there are bad parts.

But it was very difficult to convey that feeling to others because there was absolutely no such thing as experience or reason that should have accompanied it.

"The knights said it would be very helpful... could they have been cared for?

When she was still traveling, Lisa had been asked by the knights to do a little archery. I was highly regarded as a teacher at that time, so I thought I'd manage to teach Simon, but when this happens, I doubt the ratings at that time.

Well, actually, that assessment was extremely honest and reasonable, so I don't have to question flattery this way.

How come, I teach you the same, but the rating cracked in the opposite direction?

The cause of this was the difference in proficiency in martial arts between Simon and the knights, who are student roles.

Unlike Simon, who is still a novice to the sword, the knights wore martial arts to such a high standard from the beginning as part of their military work. And if your arm goes up, it's something that comes equipped with eyes that you see proportionally to it.

In the field of martial arts and arts, there is a practice called watching and archery.

This sees the moves of a master or senior and learns the good things about it. This means the training of stealing with your eyes, but whether or not you have eyes to see makes as much difference between heaven and earth in the amount of information you can learn from it.

Even if Lisa's oral explanation is extremely sensational and doesn't get guidelines, it means that if she can be shown actual sword-wielding movements as a sample, she can learn a lot if she is someone with more than a certain amount of power.

In fact, the knights who had her arched raised their arms in about a year, and by the end of the journey, so much so that an attack by Lisa at a rate that was invisible to ordinary people was also somehow preventable about two or three times.

Nevertheless, there will be no point in Lisa adding an archery beyond the fact that Simon at this stage has not reached that range.

"That's right! Don't you want to gather magic on your feet and know how to run so fast or something?

Lisa felt a sense of crisis at the current state of affairs, which seemed useless, and tried to distract Simon in areas other than swordsmanship, trying to keep her face open somehow. I'm desperate to actually run at invisible speeds, or try to move it so that it can be seen separately by many with remnants.

"I'm interested... magic. Since then, magic is taught, but I can't really pin it on magic. It's like you can't succeed."

"Really?"

With regard to magic, Lisa also had trouble explaining it because she could only use it with her senses. And I had trouble with the words, and I said this all the time.

"I hear Lime can use magic, though."

"... Mm"

Hearing a quiet angry reaction, Lisa soon realized that that was a silence now, too.

In teaching a child things, he said, "How could you not do that when she could?" is forbidden. Even though there are naturally individual differences in the speed of learning, to say something that ignores and criticizes it is because it can promote a bad sense of learning or even crack into friendship between children.

So this time it happens to be a special case.

Generally, it would be easier not to take this kind of method.

"Come on, teach me how to do it quickly."

"Oh, yes"

"I can't beat him. Don't hesitate to be harsh."

Simon's dislike for losing was considerable.

There must have been some original talent, but during this day I learned physical enhancement by magic (not so much that I can't follow it with my eyes at this stage on a boulder, but to the extent that it runs a little faster), so it's a big deal. At this rate, swordsmanship may improve unexpectedly faster.

"Young man, Lisa, good luck. Tea is ready."

Claude was ready for tea and sweets when the two of them went back to Simon's room after lunch after about two hours of practice. Some delicious treats are arranged on the table for visitors.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Claude"

"What, while you were looking at the young man, you had a rack instead. We need to do this."

The treat still looks like it's baked and stands in other hot air.

I stuffed the ingredients in a white magnet about the depth of a teacup, and it looks like I baked it in the oven with every utensil as it was. The surface is scattered with dried grapes, but the other impression of the puff was like baked pudding.

"I'll have it."

Lisa and Simon first moistened their mouths with sweet-scented tea before poking a spoon into a confectionery vessel. It's similar to baked pudding as you can see, but it also seems to mix flour and some parts are like biscuit dough.

"Ugh, uh-huh."

For breaking through the surface, the heat inside the treat dissipated all at once. If it doesn't cool well, it's going to burn your tongue.

"Is this... Crafty, is it?

"It's the left. The original recipe was taken from the Labyrinth City, but all the ingredients are made exclusively from our country."

Claude has affirmed Lisa's words.

Crafty is a simple baked treat baked in the oven with eggs, milk or dough made from a mixture of sugar and flour in a heat-resistant container, characterised by a flavor of flour and a crisp texture compared to baked pudding.

Fruits and nuts were often added to the surface of the dough and inside, this time sprinkling the surface with dried grapes soaked with alcohol, inside which were raw grapes peeled and seeded.

The combination of the creamy textured fabric part and the heated, sweetened grapes is interesting, and the slight tannins and bitterness of the alcoholic dried grapes soothe the tongue, which is likely to be too sweet and heavy.

"Grapes and wheat are the main products of our country. The castle people seem to be working on a lot of things to see if they can make something out of this."

"Tell the cooks it was delicious."

"Yes, I did. If you compliment young people, they'll be happy."

Shipments from the demonic world now favoured breadth among the upper classes of each country, but on the other hand, the movement to review the value of their products was also beginning to emerge when there was no art in just thanking objects coming in from the outside.

Country G is a rich country with a large number of fertile agricultural lands and owns a number of mines, including gold and silver, but it doesn't seem like anything like sitting around and neglecting to drill. Simon looks like this and is a hard-working person, and that's probably the kind of nationality he is (and maybe a lot of "good character" people, regardless of their status, would do it).

"Even the orchards of this castle make grapes. Most of them are alcoholic ingredients."

"Somehow, it's amazing..."

As for Lisa, the world she lives in is too different to say "wow". Incidentally, winemaking breweries may also be on royally owned premises.

"I don't know how anyone would appreciate such an unsavory thing. When you grow up, do you find it delicious?

"I can't drink alcohol yet, either, so I'm not sure."

Wine may be used as a flavoring of dishes, but we cannot yet speak to underage Lisa about the taste of alcohol. I've had about a little lick with curiosity, but I didn't think it was very tasty. In that sense, I guess she's still the same child as Simon.

◆ ◆ ◆

After this, after a break, Lisa and Simon went back to secret special training for a very full day.

◆ ◆ ◆

Around that night, rumors were to be whispered that it was in the castle of country G.

It was:

"Hey, I heard, that story?

"Oh, Simon told me you brought a young girl into the room."

"I'm talking about the kid who saw his face. He's ten years older than the prince. Which lady is it?

"Mr. Simon, is that an older hobby?

"The prince will look so cute."

Rumors of this condition were circulating in the castle, and Irina, Claude and a few servants who knew the circumstances surrounding Lisa could not tell the truth, so they could not be rectified in a broad way (or simply made things interesting).

And since then, about once or twice a week, there has been a constant sighting of Prince Simon and the mysterious girl in close proximity, and because there was no indication at all that the wonder and the girl had come and gone inside and outside the castle, rumors have spread that the "Prince surrounds his older lover in secret" or that the "Prince is possessed by the ghost of the girl".

When it came to something terrible, they disappeared into the unpopular woods for both of us, and by the time we got back, it was as if we had exercised intensely (in fact, I was exercising), something that was sweating, so I was also imagined to be just a little nasty. Still, instead of losing Simon's reputation, all the people who see him as a "do-it-yourself" favorite, or maybe the inhabitants of this country are a little crazy.

Well, he said directly to himself, "Is the rumor true?" There can be no such thing as an abalone asking, "Simon himself would still be saved if he hadn't noticed the rumors until he had finished his homecoming and returned to the labyrinth city.
