Seirei no Moribito

"Uh... here, it fits... right?

With one hand an invitation that seemed to be hanging gold for nothing, checking her liking again at the end and then regaining her temper, Emilia quietly opened the door with her tense, trembling hand.

Fluffy, to the aroma of a thick but not leaving behind rose drifting from the moment the door was opened, Emilia shouted a small exclamation, then rushed to cover her mouth with both hands and stepped in, looking around for a moment.

What Emilia was visiting was a botanical garden built a short distance from North Street, an indoor exhibition room that mainly handled roses in it.

Emilia unexpectedly falls in love with the sight of roses of various kinds, even of the same red colour, lined to the left and right, planted and flowered by red roses, white roses, even black roses and rare blue roses, and shakes her head to take her steps backwards, forgetting the earlier tension and saying that the purpose is not rose viewing.

Emilia manages to reach that place, which is a hidden little room due to the difficulty of finding the passage, even though it is separated by a slightly deeper, rose arch, compared to the map of the invitation, and finds the intended person who had arrived earlier and Emilia gives her thanks.

"Hey, today! Oh... thank you so much for making precious time for me!

head down, where he brought it in from. He was drinking tea tables and sets of tea sets of tea tea with graceful makings. He quietly placed the cup,

"No such hassle is fine. After that, don't waste your time, it's a waste of time. And you're wasting my precious time, so let's get this over with, Shenty."

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Diechrist!

"... for this occasion only, I don't mind Dee. Just do it."

In front of a noble man present in front of him, who could not have lived his whole life in a rural civilian like Emilia, Emilia sat down as she had been shown, fearing the tea she had poured but sipping it as courtesy,

"... delicious... and smells like roses..."

"Ho, you know what it tastes like, it's rare for civilians. This is a dish made by my dedicated maid of honor. Anything, they say it's the greatest masterpiece they've produced all night for three days. Thank you. Taste and drink."

"Yes... really, it's delicious..."

Forget the first nervousness Emilia loosened her face to the smell of roses and the taste of tea with modest sweetness,

"So, what can I do for you, Shenty?"

"Oh yes......!

Put the cup down and posture that this was the point, but ask him straight in, as he first said.

"His Royal Highness Prince Dee, who has the third-largest overall merit within the institution, knows - could you tell us about Chairman Eileen"

The beginning of the matter goes back to the other day.

Emilia came up with a way to get to know the chairman by keeping in touch with Irene, her senior of three years, a third seat with the strength to tell Rose, and asking her to keep it a secret.

It was a very convenient opponent for Emilia today, who was someone who knew Emilia and Red well (in the sense of a rival) and had never even met her before.

Unfortunately, however, at a time when the word normally comes with it, this proposal contains circumstances that have to be rejected.

That was the great title of the second prince, who had the third prince to inherit the throne, as part of the royal family that unified the country.

It is assumed that the rank of nobility/civilian is irrelevant within the institution, but if it is also a royal family that can control the country, it will distance itself from nature. Around him (or her) the prince is surrounded by nobles who want to make an edge and those who want to make ends meet, and because he is consolidated in the Second Prince's faction or those called the Second Prince Faction, the remainder cannot even be approached easily, and it was a rather reckless attempt to make contact with him at first sight.

But Emilia wanted to get in touch with Emilia first in the form of a letter, also looking at how she would turn down the third seat, Emilia's last hope.

By guards, samurai and other wary men of the assassination of the prince, gifts and letters addressed to him are examined once, without exception, and if they are lucky enough to determine whether there is no danger, they are in the hands of the prince. Even though there is no security option, it cannot be directly in his hands, such as a letter addressed to civilians, but also to Emilia, who is a completely red person, to the third seat, so Emilia wrote and sent a letter to them, including the third seat and those who protect him, not to the third seat.

I sent it, rather than sneaking it into his personal belongings, but I'm right (discount the method).

He wants me to tell him what I know about myself and the purpose for which I wrote the letter, to meet with the third seat if I can do so in confidence and as soon as possible, and what I know about Irene, who was called the chairman.

One or eight major battles, letters arrived safely and replied as well.

It was written by a representative of the escort who was reading the letter first, not from himself, on the boulder, but he seemed to know quite a bit about Emilia's environment and Eileen, and he wrote that if that were the case, he could set up a secret meeting with the third seat.

However, there were a number of conditions for Emilia to come alone and possibly not tell anyone about this, and for the escorts to refrain from doing so in secret seats, but Emilia managed to attach this promise.

The place was here, the corner of the Rose Garden like a hidden little room in the Botanical Garden located on North Avenue, with Deechrist Mel Zene Fangrande, who held the title of Second Prince in the third seat, as his intimate opponent.

Wearing bright blonde hair in one, gracefully drank tea with dark but calm blue-dyed eyes like a deep lake with no bottom in sight, Deekrist wore a grand dress as if she were really wearing the same uniform or even a costume dedicated to royalty that bothered him so much that she exposed an arrogantly sharply narrowed eye to a position that could be described as adorable,

"Hey, you didn't think of me as a child face right now, did you?

"Eh, come on, I think it's your fault...?

"... well, it doesn't matter now. As the rumor goes, Shenty is sniffing around about Eileen with amnesia, and... I thought you gave up, but until you met me, asking for his information, that gut and the evil of giving up is a virtue in a way, let's praise him."

"... Oh, thank you...?

"Dear Emilia, this is Dear Dee's far too far compliment. This is the voice of Dee's right heart, who twisted it into a twist because he couldn't tell the truth about himself inside, and couldn't tell it in words anymore successfully. If you mean to say," Wow, I don't give up on any kind of eyes, but I can't really imitate that heart of yours trying so hard to find the truth. Respect you, Emilia. "

"Shut up, Eve! When and who said that!!"

"About a minute ago now, it's a pure feeling hidden behind what Master Dee said."

"Ma'am!

The silver-haired woman wearing Deekrist's exclusive samurai-like service clothes, which sprang from somewhere, let only her voice imitate just as if she were imitating the prince with a face lacking emotional expression, and Teng herself, who saw it, annoyingly pushed away the samurai Eve with her hands,

"And anyway! Shenty, there's nothing to talk about."

"Ho, is that true!

"Oh... well, if I could keep a single digit, I wouldn't have been too stubborn in rank, etc., I don't know him enough to be familiar with it... but if that's okay with you, I'll talk to him"

His Royal Highness the Great Prince begins to speak after coughing this one out.

"Eileen, chairman, the guy that Deputy Rose Marie was trying to kick down, is a hell of a guy, in a nutshell."

"A hell of a guy...?

"Oh. Eileen is an honorable student in a learning building where the state is putting its strength. Seating, Martial Arts, Magic...... For all disciplines, he always kept knocking out top grades, and on the other hand, trouble with students and instructors was surprisingly high...... students jealous of the position of instructor or chairman that no one would mind a unchangeable and busy attitude towards him, led by Marie, who was aiming for the chairman's seat...... beating those things up by no skin, which was why he had been discreetly disposed of several times. Well, for the most part, if I could do it once, I'd punish him and never have a problem again, except for Marie. Speaking of the most famous incidents here these days, that was a mock fight a month ago."

"What does that... have to do with the fact that there are traces of intense combat on the other side of the training ground?

"There's a lot of it. In the sophomore year joint" Mock Combat, "I don't know what you argued about, but Eileen busted Marie, and Marie poked a gap in it and attacked Eileen, and quite a bit of a personal fight started from there... if Teacher Schneidel hadn't stopped there, Marie would definitely have died."

To a rather important story told as if it were nothing, Emilia blew out the tea she was drinking and choked,

"Keho, keho... Senior Rose, were you okay?!?"

"Though you know best that you're okay. Hate, I only know that to the best of my knowledge in intelligence-gathering, which is also one of Eve's hobbies... but in a nutshell, he said it was a kill."

"... in simulated combat, killing each other..."

"Marie's pre-emptive attack was a completely unforgiving attack that would determine Eileen's right eye, against which Eileen tried to stab a stop at Marie for losing her means of attack. I think we deserve each other, but they don't think so... Marie, who sealed her right eye in a pre-emptive attack, hunted Eileen down as if she were going to kill her, and Irene and Marie, who fought back, sang the advanced magic that was forbidden in" Simulated Combat "without thinking about the students who were there - it was Shenty who jumped in there."

"What..."

Emilia stared down at Deechrist in her name, coming out of a place she had never expected.

"... I jumped in during the unfolding“ sorcery "...?

"Yeah, I see. Take it to Eileen. You seem to know that Shenty is childhood friendly... I don't know if it was special, but Eileen didn't take the means to kill Marie for every shenty anyway. And the battle was rescheduled... it was Eileen who took the lead next time."

……

"With that said, why has Marie been around for more than a month... no, it doesn't matter? Well, anyway. Combined with Marie's ambitious side, Eileen becomes more cruel than anyone else. My closest junior described Eileen then as like a vengeful man. Shivering in anger, driven by hatred, but acting only rationally. I will never be reckless, I will continue to brush the blade of intent to kill until my mind is ripe... I don't know and understand what it's like to stay next to such a lunatic."

tongue-in-cheek, Deekrist drank the rest of his tea before demanding a replacement,

"First, Schneidel, who taught such a dangerous figure the sword... the instructor is also the instructor. I don't know what you were thinking and putting on an archery... I guess Irene's background is more familiar with the guy who's a Knights person, but he's all there and he likes to hide things, so I don't even know where he is right now."

"No, I'm not..."

"You didn't say you wanted to see me, did you? It is many times more efficient to meet and inquire in person than to gather information from afar this way. Most importantly, if he had lost his memory, that would be good luck."

……

to his frank and honest voice, Emilia lay her eyes down and worried,

"... I want to know,. But when you ask me if I want to see you... I don't know, I don't know."

……

"Me and the chairman, we were close... but I lost my memory, and the chairman was missing... and I wondered what I was going to go down to see him... and I thought to myself,"

"That's a trick. The truth is in darkness. If you're the only one who knows it, just throw away the shame and the outside world and go hear it."

"Yes, it does, but... excuse me, I do. Now, you're a hypocrite, and when those words go around your head... excuses turn into guilt."

How Emilia lost her memory and he dazzled her whereabouts.

The reason for this was that she was more shocked than she herself thought by the obvious guess that it might be in Emilia.

It dyes bright white in front of you and plays scenes that are not even in your head over and over again. The way he's bleeding to death in her arms.

The more I listen to you, the more ominous reality I really can't get out of my mind in Emilia, even though I get the certainty that Irene won't die easily.

What if he's not alive anymore?

What if Emilia was the cause of his death?

What if I didn't want to believe in reality like that and I lost my memory?

If that's the truth, Emilia can't stand it.

Even though I don't know the president, it's this in Emilia today. Emilia before she was building up memories with him and what could be described as a special relationship, that would break her heart and make her mentally ill.

Even if she understands very well that it's just a matter of possibilities that don't leave the realm of speculation, Emilia steps on two feet more than she knows the truth.

If you just know, if you just get to him, you're still fine. But if I see him, I'll know everything about any cruel truth. I can't deny it if I want to, and I have to affirm the truth.

If that's the worst thing that could happen.

Emilia grabbed her clothes in hallucinations as if her heart could be tightened,

"... I want to see you. He's my important, important person. But I can't get out of my bad thoughts... because I want to know the truth, but I don't want to know, so this is the only way to do it."

The way to know the truth now exists.

All you have to do is ask him, with the title Second Prince, to look into Irene and find her.

Not really, but to Emilia's sincerity, who replied that she just wanted to know, she naturally realizes that due to her position as a royalty, a person's meticulously savvy Deechrist.

But at a time when the phrase 'you want me to look for you,' doesn't come out, it tells me that Deeklist cares about Emilia, who is just a relationship with someone else.

"... If it were His Royal Highness Prince Dee, what would you do? Me and - if they put me in the same position as Emilia Shenti, how about...?
