Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Episode 59: Daughter of the Horn Family

"You've sat across from each other in the dining room once before."

Arriving in the dining room, we sat face-to-face across the table.

The dining room in this building is still open for some time after class.

Many students are wasting their time having tea.

Even when it comes to different worlds, that part is no different from Japanese students.

"I like you, too, that?

Point to the cup that Mr. Ira keeps in front of me.

The contents of the glass are honeyed milk.

It's what she paid me.

So, I have the same thing in front of Mr. Ira.

"I've liked it since I first drank it"

"Oh, really?

Even though no one would have listened, Mr. Ira lurked her voice to tell a secret story.

"Actually, I love you, too."

Grabbing a cup in his hand as he flickered, Ira sighs with a heartfelt delight.

Then I put my hand on my cheek with a happy look on my face.

"Mm-hmm, tallest! You feel alive for this one!

Goddamn it, Ira puts the cup on the table with all the momentum.

…………

I was worried that it would be the future.

"Well, Krohiko."

Mm-hmm?

"Hmm? When I politely treat people I'm not very close to in the East, I heard it's polite to say 'kun' or 'san' after a name or something...... Atashi Something wrong?

That's... I don't know.

Certainly Mr. Clarice said there was a point in getting acquainted.

Sieg, on the other hand, regarded it as a way of calling it with an approximation.

So, Ira says it's 'time to be polite with people you're not very close to'.

If I recall, Mr. Makina used to call me 'Krohiko' only once when I was new to the world over here.

I don't know how to use the world over here, but it seems that Eastern cultures are subtly interpreted differently by people.

Well, aren't any of them wrong?

Although it is the world standard that was there.

…………

It's just that that's not what bothered me.

"Because it was the first time Mr. Ira called me by name. I just reacted there a little bit."

"Is that it? Was it?

That's right.

Until now, it was' You 'and' The Curse Forbidder '.

"And then you can say 'Crohiko' about me. Well, it depends on Ira."

"Are you sure you want 'Crohiko'? Doesn't it offend you to call someone from the East just by name all of a sudden?

I laugh.

"Don't they all call you 'Crohiko'?"

You're a kid who cares about weird things.

"Then you can call me Ira."

"Huh?"

"Yes, let's just say it"

Mr. Ira hitting me in the hand prompts me.

Yep.

"... Ira?

"Yes, well done"

Then Ira - Ira laughed at herself as she elbowed on the back of the chair.

"No? Actually, I was wondering if it was your" Mr. Ira. "

"Really?

"Something I don't feel comfortable calling you"

"I think Mr. Ira is a relief. Oh, it means it's easy to talk, doesn't it?

My first conversation was a bit arrogant though.

…………

"Mr. Ira?

"Look, I've already forgotten"

"Ah."

Hmm.

Sieg was surprisingly familiar with each other because he was a man... but when he was her opponent, he still felt uncomfortable.

"Excuse me, do you mind if I just say one by one? It feels weird."

"Mm-hmm. Well, if you say so. It's a bad idea to impose it."

He seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but Mr. Ira agreed.

"But you're gonna call me Crohiko, right?

"Yeah, go ahead."

So Ira put her hands together to switch, pounding.

"Well, let me get back to business."

She puts her arms on the table.

Actually, I'm gathering my crew for the Holy Monument attack right now.

"Atashi 'the guys'?

"You said before that you were working with classmates and upper classmates in a relationship between houses, right?

Oh, those people who were sitting at the circular table in this dining room.

You saw it the first time you went to the Square in front of the Holy Ruins.

"So, you guys, we reached the ninth level the other day."

"Huh? Already?

It seems awesome speed considering last year's graduate reach hierarchy is nineteen hierarchies.

Perhaps it's just not particularly surprising in view of the fact that I'm working with upper classmates.

By the way, I've reached five levels at a time.

"Yeah. Is it faster for letting unreached students in? I'm a cop, aren't I?

"Unreached students?

"Oh, don't you know? Holy ruins."

According to Ira's explanation, the sacred ruins tend to be relatively easier to attack the hierarchy they have already broken.

Specifically, you think it's easier to find the stairs leading to the lower level?

Students describe this phenomenon as' the sacred ruins are chosen and bring in those '.

So, here's what makes it easier for students in this school to consolidate in the same grade.

The Holy Monument goes to its hierarchy. If one of the unreached students is mixed with the attack squad, the attack speed slows down.

So unless you really think of it as the talent you want, the upper classmates are the lower classmates - especially not thinking about inviting freshmen.

The only time an upper classmate invites a lower classmate is if he decides, like Ira, that there is a connection between the houses or that it is nevertheless worth joining the offensive squad.

I wondered.

More students should be able to think about working with an attack-experienced upper class, but there were an unusually large number of lions working with each other.

Well, that's why it's easier to consolidate in the same grade.

Well.

The story starts here.

"Unknown Protective Species, is it?

"Yeah... Actually, most of the offensive squad students are eating footstops on nine levels right now."

"I mean, because of that guardian species?

Ira takes the lead with a spicy face.

"It was when I was wondering if the Atasis would fight that guardian species... and there came another offensive squad and said, 'What are you guys having an operational meeting with? We're not gonna spill it, are we? Ahead' walked into a room with that guardian species. But I had a bad feeling they were going back to the ground with a transfer device. Then..."

Apparently, the students who went into the room with that guardian species were being transferred to sleep.

Before Mr. Ira and the others.

In other words, the offensive squad that went in earlier would have been killed by the guardian species earlier than Mr. Ira and the others would have returned.

"There were ten and twelfth priests in the offensive squad."

Little Sacred Degrees are like in-school rankings.

I can't say all about it because it includes didactic subjects, but, well, you can consider it almost a barometer of strength.

Even with the tenth and twelfth places of its littlest priesthood, it was as if it had no teeth - meaning that

"Pretty powerful enemies,"

"Yep. I'm a demon like a giant born of a magma... it's not in the demon atlas of the Holy Ruins, and I tell my senior class in the same offensive squad I don't know... it's creepy. So hesitate to try."

"I saw the story. So Ira and the others are gathering members to defeat the Protective Species?

"That sort of thing. Nevertheless, as we know, the sacred ruins also rise in the number of demons when they become too large a zone. But we're going to need a certain number of people this time... so it's hard to add or subtract."

"Hmm? Maybe there's more than just an unknown demon in the protective species room?

"That's a good guess. Exactly. When I peered into the room, I saw a bunch of kids like Magma Giants roaming around."

Are there other miscellaneous fish monsters besides the unknown demons?

"So, the power of a curse that makes it easy to defeat the demons of the Fifteenth Hierarchy, so what?

"I'm not going to say it around. Yeah, that's what I mean."

Hmm.

I wonder what the problem is.

…………

"As far as I'm concerned, you can help me."

"Huh!? Are you sure?

"But not until I talk to my partner."

"Well, of course it is! Your partner... Currier Verstein, right?

"As a partner, we need to discuss this. But I think positively."

"Yeah, okay! Well, I'll let her know when I've decided to have a day or something! Hey, great."

Throw your torso out onto the table and breathe like Mr. Ira ran out of tension.

"Hahaha... what did you care if I could draw you in? That was your biggest concern. I can't speak to the superior ranks of the Little Saints without seeing them, because the Atahsi have their home marks."

Ira exhales tirelessly with her jaw on the table, fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh.

"Besides, 'leave the curseless child to Atashi!' What a big deal, but when I had to, I got anxious... and when I thought about it carefully, I wasn't that close, and I got that attitude during mock games..."

Mr. Ira smiled like she tickled.

"But you, you're a good one, aren't you?

Ugh.

…………

My heart was accidentally eagled by the smile now.

I mean, I feel like I'm hiding behind Mr. Cecily, but why is this guy so cute?

Small neat face.

Red Sarasa hair.

Tight, victorious eyes.

A nasal muscle that went right through.

A firm eyebrow.

The earrings of the ears are somewhat dispelling the lingering awkwardness, giving a slight hue in the youthful energy.

Above all, I'm adorable, and when I'm talking, I feel a different kind of security than the others.

Comfortable ease, I mean.

…………

I blush and shake the subject to deceive the lighting.

"Ah, Mr. Ira, you're positive about the Holy Ruins offense, aren't you?

"Hmm? Sort of."

"I hear a lot of students don't want to go this year because of the example rumors."

Upon waking her torso, Ms. Ira lowered her gaze and stroked the surface of the cup with her fingertips.

"'Cause I can't help it."

…………

"And Cecily Arklite, I don't think that's enough."

Point your gaze at me as Ira asks.

"Do you know the relationship between Atashi and Cecily?

"I just heard the instructor talking a little during the mock game. Competing between houses? It's a level perception that it feels like"

Mr. Ira lowering her eyebrow butt.

"You're not wrong."

and began to tangle and untangle the tips of the fingers put together by Mr. Ira.

"Have we talked before? Atashi is often said to be a genius of the Horn family, but the roots are genius."

"Really?

"That's right. So I had to work harder than the talented since I was little. Still, more and more talented people go up there than Atashi... so I'm always in a hurry by myself."

The look on Ira's face, who speaks so, felt, however, that she was accepting her current situation.

"But... the people in the house wouldn't allow me to give up. So Atashi desperately continued his efforts. Even while I understand somewhere that you'll never catch up with a hard-working genius. But it's... it's so hard."

Genius to try.

Is it still about Mr. Cecily?

But seeing as the topic doesn't move on to yesterday's incident, Mr. Ira doesn't seem to know how Mr. Cecily is doing right now.

I guess I really just got back from the sacred ruins earlier.

Mr. Ira smiles mocking herself.

"You know what? Atashi was originally a cowardly child. Everyone seems to think you've been a cheerful character for a long time."

Mr. Ira looked up at the ceiling.

"I'm still trying so hard to be a jerk."

It's the smile that's on my mind, but it also looks kind of lonely.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Atashi."

Mr. Ira laughs softly at his head to fix it.

"Is that it? Why have I become a fool? hahaha...... really why not? Is it because you're easy to talk to?

"Mr. Ira."

"Hmm?"

"Even one of me will cooperate in the attack of an unknown demon. So..."

I drank the honeyed milk all at once and put the cup on the table.

"Let's definitely knock it down, that demon"

"Huh? Ugh, yeah"

When I heard what I was saying, I wanted to help this guy.

Above all, she is also the one who treated me sincerely when I had not yet revealed that she was a curse man.

I was happy then.

So I want to reward you for your benevolence.

All I can do for Mr. Ira now is help defeat an unknown demon.

If that helps pave the way for her, we'd be happy to work together.

Well.

It's time for Mr. Currier to ask for forgiveness somehow.

When it comes to going with more than one, the 'demon eater' alone that inhibits the surgical ceremony will still be harsh.

When that happens, will you first procure a weapon?

"So, it's a reward... how much would you like?

Mr. Ira cut it out.

"Reward?"

"That's what the Atasis are doing on their own initiative. The crystal money I got when I was diving warmed my nose."

"But this story, we're all eating footstops in the Nine Hierarchies, so other students will have the advantage of working together just because they can break through the Nine Hierarchies, right? Then, don't you need a reward?

"Ah..."

If you ask me, Ira, you look like.

I was going to pay normally......

"There's no guarantee that that magma giant won't even appear on the Nine Hierarchies after you defeat him, is there? So, Ira and the others aren't going to make it a big place. Then he said," I want to participate in Operation Magma Giant Strategy! 'There must be many students. If so, isn't Ira and the others going to be the' sorting side '?

"Mmm, maybe it does..."

"Ko, didn't anyone in the offensive squad notice?

"Ha ha... I just got back from an exploration and maybe everyone wasn't working their heads off"

Or because you're rich. 'Firstly, solve it with gold!' Does it tend to go right to thought?

"So, but I'll give Crohiko a reward!

"Yeah, but"

And, Mr. Ira put her hands on the table.

"Hey, why don't you quit a generation of color tricks! - No!"

As soon as I lowered my head, Mr. Ichira hit his forehead on the table.

"... hey no"

It was a tear.

"What are you doing...... why are you coloring?"

Mr. Ira stares at me with tears as I sassy my forehead.

"Ra... I would have been happy to see Atashi's chest during a mock match."

…………

They were well noticed.

We ran out of drinks, so we left the cafeteria once.

In the end, you couldn't fulfill half my purpose...

Well, becoming a member of Operation Magma Giant Strategy will give you more opportunities to talk, so don't you have to ask me about the Holy Ruins in such detail today?

The Magma Giant thing is also true when it comes to information on the Holy Ruins.

As for Mr. Cecily... honestly, it was hard to talk about.

I can't believe you were worried about your talents.

At least it's not a story I could cut out at the earlier point.

But that's all I need to know.

"Um, Mr. Ira"

"Hmm? What?

"How do you get to the Arklite mansion, which is in the Wang capital... you know what I mean?

"I know, but running errands for the Arklight family?

"Yes."

"Mm, okay. Then will you come to class?

"Is that okay, this?
