Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

44.

"Rose is in the next room."

After I lost Mr. Shanna, I was supposed to visit Mr. Rose in the next room.

Ugh......

I don't know, I'm doggedly tired.

"Is that it? Is Mr. Shanna not coming?

When I went out in the hallway and asked her that, Ms. Shanna looked strange.

"After I deliver the washi to the next room, I'm going to do a makeup fix in this room for rejuvenation. When they say I'm like a grandmother or something, I can't back off. It's a woman's fight!

"So I said I was sorry about what I said earlier!

Fuhihi, and Shana laugh.

"Well... if I go with you, I guess I'll just end up talking about Rose's introduction foreboding. In the first place, it's hardly a time for both of us to say anything."

"Do you mind if Mr. Shanna is in the same place?

"Even if you're in the same place."

"But is it okay for me to be alone...?

"If you look harmless, you can do it."

"Are you judging just by your face!?

"At your leisure."

As always, this guy is the right place for this......

"Besides, it's not like I don't know people at all..."

"You'll be fine there, too. As a matter of fact, this is how you talk to the witch."

An aggressive type like Shanna is so easy to talk to, but imaginatively, Mr. Rose is a silent extreme person......

As for the type, is it close to Mr. Hilgis?

No, but Mr. Hilgis is the kind of guy who surprisingly talks to me from the other side with that.

But Mr. Rose said he didn't even say a word during the battle against the final no eight burial blades...

They push the wheelchair forward.

"Look, let's go."

"Ha ha..."

"By the way, he's deaf, so you can go straight into the room when you call him or you don't hear back, okay? Because I have written instructions for" No Attack "against you now, I am sometimes mistaken for a bender and attacked. Relief."

Though wondering about the word "write" she uttered, Shana pushed her wheelchair to the next room.

Even next door, Mr. Rose's room is in a deep place, far from Mr. Shanna's.

Because it is a national guest treatment, it is a mansion that is bigger than every single room.

I mean, Mr. Rose is the captain of the Divine Punishment Corps and Mr. Shanna is certainly supposed to be the deputy captain, but I have an impression that Mr. Shanna is in a better position.

When she came to the front of the room, Ms. Shanna went back to her room.

Take one deep breath and knock on the door.

Wait, there's no response from the indoors.

"Um... I had a wheelchair carried earlier, it's Sagara Crohiko. Shanna suggested it, and I wanted to introduce myself to Rose again."

No reply.

Kind of makes me anxious if I'm really indoors.

"Shanna said you can go straight into the room when you don't hear back..."

I'm talking about being far away from hearing, and maybe older people?

Hmm.

Should we still try to get into the room here......

Right...... if we ever stay in Louvel Argan in the future, it would be possible to face each other again and again.

So here, maybe we should just say hello.

"And excuse me..."

I feel like this part hasn't changed in an effort to be lifted up in a grand way with the curse of the Land of the Holy Tree that defeated the Four Murders...

Horrible, open the door.

Hmm?

The room's dim?

…………

Oh, because you're closing the armor door?

Only crystal lights emitting a light warm color illuminate the room in a blur.

…………

I don't know.

All of a sudden, you're getting horror air, aren't you?

Ah.

I'm standing over there, Mr. Rose...?

…………

But what is it?

I can't feel alive because I'm watching it in the dark.

You look like a pompous, soulless, hollow armor.

My wheelchair sounds like something I'm hearing, but there's no sign of armor reacting.

Take this one - the front, even though it's pointing.

Slightly forward, the giant armor is staring at my feet.

I don't think I'm nervous enough to spit.

"Um... my name is Sagara Krohiko..."

No response.

Hmm.

I have no choice.

Want to come closer?

Solo solo and try to get close.

but the armor still doesn't work perfectly.

I mean, I've come pretty much right in front of you.

"Rose,?

Even with the call, there's still no response.

What the fuck?

Really, it looks like he's dead...

Or... so, are you okay?

I can't believe I'm really old, and I've had a full tenure here... Oh, my God.

No, if it is, it's tough.

Just to make sure...

"Mr. Rose! So, are you okay!?

Gras.

The armor, it rocked.

Huge black armor stays put and falls into the front.

"... Huh?

As I watched the falling armor, I noticed my back was open.

The back of the armor is wide open from the inside out.

Yes - like, a semi loose shell.

"Ugh, wow - that?

A little back down, I caught my eye in the space behind the armor that I'd never seen in the way before.

"Woman's, child...?

Girl with gray hair.

I can't say for sure because it's dark, but my eyes are gray - I think.

Long hair to the waist.

White and bumpy skin.

A naked body with its back illuminated by a pale crystal lamp cannot be stained one more time.

I found out it was a girl, by the way, because from the diagonal rear position, I could confirm the girl's specific swelling at the chest.

Her whole body had a thin slab of water.

I hold a cloth that sucks water in my hand, and I have a bucket with water at my feet.

…………

Oh, I see.

Are you wiping your body?

And, you know...

"Oh, I'm sorry!

Rotate the wheelchair in a hurry and turn your back.

Huh?

What the fuck?

Mr. Rose is a girl, not an old man......?

But compared to the size of the armor, it's too small, no matter how you look at it.

If that was it, wouldn't you be smaller than Cecily, who thinks you're the little one?

Bigger than Makina or Shana, but......

"You're coming, I heard you."

The sound of moisture seeping out of the cloth.

You started wiping your body again...?

Don't you care about my existence?

Because the room is dark?

"Shh, I'm sorry... Shanna told me that if I didn't hear from you on the call, I could just go straight into the room -"

Petamp, Petamp.

Is that it?

Footsteps.

"I'm sorry, n. The eagle is deaf, so can we talk as close as we can, Ca?

Close.

Close, close.

I'm right behind you...... Huh!

Or it's more on my back in front of my chest!

I kept confused and repeated the words containing almost the same apology as earlier, as loud as possible.

"... so I heard you were coming de. You don't have to apologize, yo."

He's a pale talker.

But I was curious.

Because the first one had a nuance that just seemed a little dissatisfied.

"I'll go first, but the eagle hates you a little bit and s"

"Huh? Shh, excuse me... if you were doing something that would impair your seizures, I apologize. And I don't know... I can't help but hate you when you're walking into the room on your own when you're wiping your body... What an apology -"

"That's okay, Ga."

"Yes?"

"Because Shana likes you more than a weasel, I don't like you a little bit, su. Look, that's it... umm... Sit?

"Jealousy, is it?"

"So su. But that's not entirely your fault... you need to be more liked by Shanna. So more, we have to work hard with that armor and defeat Shana's enemies, sir."

"That armor..."

Watch black armor fall down, side by side.

Really?

Is this the body of Rose Claywall - The Armored Warrior?

The way I just saw it, I don't think I can wear that armor and fight it as it is, to think from my physique and muscle build.

In the first place, if that's normal armor, it's not the right size either.

I mean driven by something "another power source" - that's what I think.

In short, I guess that armor is a special armor that drives using sanctimonium or something.

However, not everyone can handle it.

Maybe something like aptitude exists.

And to the highest-performing armor, the most apt person - that's the gray-haired girl behind me.

No, I don't think so.

But he's a strange man.

I have no hostility as much as I said I hate me, and I accept the feeling of jealousy in me.

I can't feel a kind of fighting spirit unleashed by the powerful.

It is a distant impression from the image emitted by the name of the most powerful and famous Armored Warrior in Louvel Argan's proud elite unit, the Divine Punishment Corps.

Muuuuu.

On my back, a soft chest like slime pressed me.

"Ro, Mr. Rose!?

"Yours, its left eye"

"Huh?"

Mr. Rose turned his hand from behind and tried to touch my left eye.

It seemed like that was the reason I felt intimate.

But her white hand, which was slammed, stopped in front of the eye belt.

"... from Shana, I heard you. Sacrificing that left eye to protect your loved one... I hate it a little bit sitting, but eagles respect you"

"Respect, is it?

"Ha Yi. If the eagle is also to protect Shana, I'm prepared to sacrifice as much of this body as I can...... but few people like that (a). Guys, I'm the best and su"

Bakery stuff.

Reminds me of my reputation.

"Well... someone told me I was broken as an organism. I don't know how hard it is, but I tease people other than myself that they take precedence over me..."

From me, I take it for granted.

"Then so is the eagle, sir. All of this life, the eagle remains dedicated to Shana."

My hands and chest get away from me.

From Mr. Rose's body, Potta fell to the floor.

"Originally the eagle was blind, deaf and mouthless. That's what gave me the light, the sound, the word - Shanna, so su"

He was Mr. Rose, who until now had spoken pale in close proximity to his emotions, but only when he uttered the last Shana's name was his faint emotion.

That's, thanks.

I reflected.

I was wondering if Mr. Rose's hearing weakness was possibly a side effect of that armor.

This is what I usually thought because I am a powerful force - the side effects of the curse on my body.

But the opposite was true.

Her eyes, ears and words now were brought to her by Shanna.

"It was in Shana that he picked up a trash-dropped eagle. Some of them say they were just survived because they were aptitudes for that armor, but that's okay, so su. Shana... gave me an opportunity to be judged if I was an aptitude person, to be a trash eagle. So, the eagle is enough, so s"

"... Shanna is an important benefactor to Rose, isn't she?"

"Ha a"

A loved one who saved himself.

Be prepared to sacrifice your life if you want to protect that loved one.

Sacrifice yourself and save someone.

I have never been told to respect the act before.

Somehow, here's what I thought.

"Maybe we're a little alike"

"This is me, sir."

"What is it?

"I feel like I've never met you before."
