Tensei Oujo wa Kyou mo Hata o Tatakioru

The map was spread out on the table, making a dry sound with a bang.

Leonhard's hand wearing white gloves slides on the paper to level the folds.

Only me and Leonhardt are in the break room next to the greenhouse.

The two mages are training. I asked Klaus, an escort, to use them to collect materials.

Recently, I often ask Leonhard for escort, but Klaus is no longer poking one by one.

It's the result of persuasion. I want to believe that you are not finding pleasure in neglect play.

"Princess"

I received a glance that prompted me and looked into the map.

Not a map showing the whole continent, but a map of Nebel ... only the eastern half.

All you need for this discussion is near the border between Raptor and Nebel.

I turn my eyes to the northeastern part adjacent to Raptor. However, at that moment, the view was blackened out for some reason.

"!"

What surprised me was just a moment.

I immediately noticed the identity of the shadow separating me from the map, and I sighed. When you reach for the black mass, you will feel a fine velvet feel to your fingertips.

"Nero"

Call out my beloved cat with a low voice.

But Nero wasn't moving at all and looked back at me while answering with a drowsy call. The sapphire eyes, looking up, shined with curiosity.

Nero, who has completely healed his injuries and is free to move around, spins behind me almost every day. Originally, it's a curious nature. I'm happily exploring the place where I'm going for the first time without any signs of scaring.

There is a saying, "Dogs go to people and cats go to the house", but it doesn't seem to apply to my child. Perhaps it's possible that the castle is recognized as a big house. That's great.

"You can't ride on the table"

Nero reached out to reach the table and Nero shunned. I'm impatient with Nero fleeing toward Leonhardt.

"Nero!"

Nero doesn't even know the owner's frustration, and Nero rubs against Leonhardt's hand. Surprised, Leonhardt, who blinked several times, narrowed his eyes softly and stroked his finger under Nero's chin.

"It's friendly"

Leonhard turns his gaze on Nero, who makes his throat groan and grunts. What a spectacular sight.

When he fell in love with Uttori, Nero began to climb Leonhard's shoulder, thinking what he thought.

"Oops"

"Cho, Nero !?"

I was panicked by Nero, who reached from his arm to his shoulder with a light step, like a certain fox.

No matter how friendly you are, are you too nostalgic? I don't have to resemble the owner so far? ?

"I'm sorry, Leon-sama."

"No, it's okay. I'm really happy because small animals are often scared."

Leonhard gently stroked Nero's head in a relaxed position, wrapped around his neck like a black scarf.

I laugh to keep it as it is until I get bored, but as long as I look at that nostalgia, I can't seem to get bored so easily. A rainy day cat is a rival. Well male.

"Let's go back to the continuation of the story."

With Nero on his shoulders, Leonhardt looks into the map. I also looked down at the map.

The agenda for this discussion is, of course, the Demon King.

The purpose is to find a sealed temple.

"It was around here that there was a target temple."

Speaking of that, Leonhard's fingertips draw a large circle with Gururi near the border with Raptor.

"Yes, it should be near a remote village."

Even though it is near the border, the range is wide.

A village that meets the conditions ... It's not easy to find a place with a shattered temple outside the village.

It takes a considerable amount of time to examine all the villages scattered near the border. However, the search for drugs cannot be neglected.

"Even if we squeeze out some candidates, to some extent we have to help someone."

"I agree"

Although I showed my consent, I couldn't find anything with someone's help.

But unlike me, who suffers from a dead end, Leonhardt had a solution.

"Actually, the captain of the border guard based on the northeast fort is my old friend."

Point around the upper right corner of the map.

"I'd like you to check along with the march practice. How is it?"

"It's ... thank you, but is it good? Wouldn't it interfere with your work?"

"Don't worry; it's just for exercises and security .... and I'm a bit concerned."

"...?"

What is the matter to be worried about?

I asked in my glance, but Leonhardt did not answer. Well, if you don't say it, you shouldn't say it now.

If necessary, we will tell you when the time comes. I believed so and did not make any further mentions.

"Well, please."

When he bowed deeply, Leonhard nodded firmly.

"Next, about drugs ..."

Leonhardt breaks the word there.

The jet-black eyes glanced at me and reflected me.

He knows I was depressed and depressed not to be involved in drug search. I was silent in the carriage on the way home. Maybe I was worried.

"... Georg and Mikhail seem to have set off."

Take over the broken words.

They went to the Kingdom of Flame to search for medicine.

I thought that Mikhail, an apprentice of mages, would have some restrictions on behavior, but unlike Theo and Lutz, they had some freedom.

Mikhail, who cannot use any attack magic, does not seem to be considered a threat. The difference between the color of the robe between black and white seems to include the color coding around it.

"I left it."

Laughter tells her to tease with a laugh, but Leonhardt's expression is not clear.

"Princess ..."

"Oh, I'm not relentless. I'm not giving up."

"e?"

Called with a sad voice, I shake my head in a hurry.

To me who denied, Leonhardt's eyes were slightly surprised.

"I was certainly rejected and depressed, but if I think about it, it's now more."

"Is it now?"

"Yes, now."

I nodded at the puzzled words of Leonhardt.

"As long as I'm a princess, it's only natural to stay away from danger. If you give up, you're done. If you don't think you can't give up, you've finally realized that if you don't move, you won't start."

I'm saying anything because I'm outside the bed net.

If you don't wait for someone to pull your hand, but want to get in, you should get in from yourself. If you stop every time you are rejected, you can't go anywhere.

I wanted to change the future.

I swore not to give up on Leonhardt-sama.

If so, I have to be strong.

Everything is strong enough to move forward.

"I don't want to give up ... can you help me?"

Look at Leonhard while holding down the chest that hits the bell with tension. He smiled gently and smiled.

Although the gaze of seeing a grown-up child is a bit dissatisfied, there is no doubt that he is glad to have a warm smile.

"Of course. I'm a cooperator for that, so I'm in trouble if I don't ask for anything."

I received a powerful word, and I was relieved.
