That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

The 101st me, the 35th you.-6

“Now, ah- do it.”

I stare at Mirajen as she puts the spoon full of soup into her mouth.

As if to open his mouth quickly, seeing his frowning expression, he opened his mouth slightly, and a spoon came into his mouth and the soup flowed out.

If anyone saw it, they would think I was crippled.

I just wrapped a lot of bandages on my body, but there was no place where I couldn’t move.

“I can eat.”

“Your arm is injured. And… I’m sorry. Because you got hurt because of me.”

“I never thought I was hurt because of Your Highness. Wasn’t that what I said to stop it in the first place?”

When I picked up the spoon in Mirajen’s hand, Mirajen looked at me with a sullen expression for a moment.

Still, you can’t get them to feed you one by one.

He wasn’t seriously hurt, just bleeding a lot.

Enough to pass out for about three days.

I was very surprised by Miragen or Adele or something like that.

I didn’t think I would pass out either, but I think it’s probably because I’m lacking in stamina.

He was treated by a priest dispatched from the church, and his physical condition was slowly recovering.

He said that he could move freely after two days, so from then on, it seemed like he needed to increase his stamina in earnest.

“By the way, I don’t know if it’s okay for you to stay here. I think I heard that someone was coming from the imperial palace too.”

“It will take quite a while to get here. The distance between the north and the center is quite far. Since the archduke is still working on subjugation, I should be here.”

“…What does it have to do with the Grand Duke’s subjugation and His Highness staying-”

“Then let’s leave the sick person behind. If I looked like such a mean person, I’d like to tell you that I was mistaken.”

He laughs awkwardly at the way he grumbles, saying that he is disappointed. When I woke up, my eyes were swollen.

I think he probably cried.

Because of her personality, she must have been quite concerned about me being hurt, so seeing her passed out, she must have cared a lot.

Did you lose your mind right away when you saw Mirazen come and join you? Today was the first time since then that I was sober.

I don’t know if it’s because of that, but seeing Mirazen talking in front of me made me feel quite strange.

Safe, living Miragen without a single wound. The voice in my ears started to fade with the impression that I had changed something.

In fact, it was nothing short of hallucinations.

Hearing again the voice I heard 100 years ago, wouldn’t it be safe to say it’s a mental illness?

It was because it was a very strong memory.

It was a memory that I always regretted and made a firm determination not to repeat if such a situation came again.

Did you succeed this time? I laughed at the question that suddenly came to my mind. Wasn’t it a great success?

Me and Miragen were still alive.

Although I had to hurt myself quite a bit, it didn’t matter to me that a few more scars were added.

“Ah, I have something to tell you. Can I?”

-Wow, I had something I wanted to say. I have to tell you now.

I turned my head at the voice I heard at the same time.

One voice came from right next to it and was clear, but the other voice gradually faded and dissipated.

It is a memory of the past. Unheard of, now non-existent. The words of the thirty-fifth Miragen.

No more blood flowed through Mirazen.

The blood that gushed out crying, and the chest where the knife had been stuck. Isn’t it all just a woman who hesitates?

I blinked my eyes once, and the illusion that had covered my eyes completely disappeared.

Only Miragen was visible. He licked his lips and smiled slightly as he hesitated about what to say to me.

“It’s okay to talk.”

I didn’t have to beg to live anymore.

If I said such a thing to her who was already unscathed, she would be treated as strange.

Somehow I felt better. The stuffiness that bloomed in a corner of my chest disappeared, and it seemed that something refreshing filled it.

“I thought I should repay you for saving me. next time. I, Robert, you…mmm.”

– I, Robert, you…

“I’m thinking of inviting you to the imperial palace. Officially, I’m going to pull the wagon myself and go to the Taylors. may I?

-…Can I like it?

The overlapping voices were infinitely small.

Only Mirajen’s voice could be heard clearly, so the quickly buried voice soon disappeared along with the blowing wind.

Many things were different. The words were similar, but what she asked, what she wanted from me, and even the situation in which I heard these words were different.

I looked at Mirazen waiting for my answer, then nodded and answered.

I couldn’t answer on the 35th, so it wasn’t until the 101st that I opened my mouth.

That answer was something I always had in my heart.

It was an answer that I had harbored for decades, lumped with regret.

Even then, I would not have given this answer.

“It’s okay.”

When we first met, it ended without any relationship.

When we met for the 35th time, I sent you away without becoming a lover.

On the fifty-fifth, I live for you and I die for you.

and one hundred and one.

Looking at you alive like this, I try to put the answer that I couldn’t do in my mouth.

isn’t that enough It was enough to prove that my life was not in vain.

The fact that you’re still alive… was enough for me.

Robert looked at Mirazen, who smiled happily, and smiled a little.

The voice in my ear was no longer heard. You probably won’t hear it in the future.

Any regrets or lingering feelings had already been blown away by the north wind, just the cool wind tickling my cheeks like that.

It was expected that the subjugation of the immigrants would take a month, but after Robert personally killed Temuchin, it could be said to have ended in a bland way.

A week was the time it took for Adele, who fiercely drove soldiers, to complete the subjugation.

A foreign nation that lost its chieftain, Temuchin, would collapse too easily, so Lotos, who saw the results completed in such a short period of time, showed a bitter expression on his face.

“If this was the case, you should have kidnapped Confucius and brought him back.”

“It was enough for me to be alone. I just got hurt by overdoing it.”

“…Anyway, except for the unexplored areas, it’s almost all sorted out. For the time being, there will be no need to waste resources for subjugation.”

When he mentioned Robert’s name, his eyes sharpened in an instant, and Lotos’ body trembled as he met Adele’s eyes.

It had been like that ever since Robert passed out.

Actually, he should have said that he had woken up a few days ago, but he deliberately hid his words because the subjugation was not over.

What if I told you this now? Lotos rubbed the nape of his neck, which was feeling a little chilly.

Still, there was no lieutenant who had been around for as long as he had, so he couldn’t be bothered to cut it.

If there’s one thing she’s been certain of lately, it’s certain that she cherishes Robert, even if she’s Adele’s lover.

Recalling Adele’s attitude when Robert fainted, Lotos smiled lightly.

-…Contact the church.

-If it is a denomination, we will request the dispatch of a priest.

– Call the saintess. Don’t forget to tell them that if you’re even a little late, you’ll overturn it.

I don’t know if I meant it sincerely,

It was only after Robert’s condition stabilized that he exuded a bloody atmosphere all day.

It seemed that the feeling I felt before was not simply an illusion.

Robert Taylor…I don’t know what he said to the grand duke, but I wonder if he will be the one who will change the game in the north.

Standing in line was Lotos’ speciality, so he had already sent several communications to Robert.

A little bit of information about Adele.

Watching Adele advance while holding on to the wolf’s reins, Lotos, who soon had a hardened heart, sneaked up to the side and opened his mouth.

“A letter arrived from the castle a few days ago.”

“Correspondence?”

“They say Confucius has woken up. They say Her Highness is taking care of it right now.”

tall.

Adele stopped and looked at the letter Lotos held out.

His eyes narrowed, and his forehead wrinkled. Maybe it’s that it’s getting worse.

Adele muttered softly as she crumpled the letter into her bosom, waiting for a while to keep the distance in case there was a spark.

“…it happened.”

There was a strong reassurance mixed with those words.

I should have been surprised to say it myself, but it was true that I felt relieved that Robert had woken up.

When I passed out, I was more embarrassed than ever. It’s disgusting that I fainted not for one day, but for several days.

“Speed up a little.”

“All right.”

Contrary to his thoughts, however, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Now, there is not much left until the nature.

Adele took the reins back and spurred on, and the other lieutenants also sped up and started running.

When Robert first collapsed, his thoughts were simple.

I was embarrassed because I couldn’t understand the situation, and the embarrassment turned into anger for no reason, and I just took my anger out in a strange place.

Now that I think about it, it was true that I couldn’t have judged it soberly.

If I had thought about it more calmly, I would have known that it was just exhaustion.

For the first time in my life, I couldn’t calm down.

It must be that the anxiety that bloomed in my head did not go away.

…I always felt like I was about to disappear.

The feeling of déjà vu and anxiety that I felt every time I saw Robert, not someone else, did not go away no matter how much time passed.

Rather, it is only amplified, so maybe I am caught up in these feelings.

They feel insecure when they are not together, and annoyed at the fact that they are with someone other than themselves. To this incomprehensible feeling.

Arriving at the main house, Adele headed straight for Robert.

The other lieutenants moved along with Lotos while being puzzled.

After all, Adele always moved as she wanted after the subjugation, so most of them had no doubts.

Would you like to be with the princess by now?

I decided I wouldn’t mind, but Robert’s words lingered in his head, causing Adele to slightly frown.

It bothered me that even the princess tried to risk her life to repay the kindness she didn’t know about.

So I felt bad. It wouldn’t be a problem if you were angry and spoke a little harshly.

Knock on the door, and the voice from inside cuts off.

“It’s me, Robert.”

After a moment of silence, I saw Robert’s face through the open door.

His face was still pale.

He had a sharp nose and gray hair similar to gray.

The only difference was that there was a difference in his pupils.

The empty eyes were filled with other emotions. Who are those feelings for?

“I heard that the subjugation was over, but you came quickly.”

Laughing lightly at the silly thought, she stretched out her hand toward Robert’s face.

It was still soft to the touch in the palm of my hand. live.

not dying, not disappearing. It was alive before me.

Why does that alone make me smile?

He is about to touch his cheek like he did last time, but then lowers his hand again and shrugs.

There was no need to be swayed by this unknown emotion.

It wouldn’t be unnatural if you didn’t act the way you used to.

As Robert stared at the movement, Adele smiled and opened her mouth.

“You woke up too soon. I didn’t know you had a knack for making people care.”

“…sorry. I don’t know if I was too overbearing.”

Sensing the presence of the princess inside her, Adele then licked her lips as she gazed at Robert.

I didn’t like the two of them together. It happened anyway, and besides, isn’t there something to do in the future?

How to keep the two apart. Recalling that, Adele added.

“Change your clothes and come to the banquet hall, we will have a banquet in a little while.”

“Isn’t today your day off? When the schedule…”

it’s a day off Of course it was, but no one was going to dispute this decision.

I don’t know if it’s in the center, but isn’t this northern part of Adele Ygritte’s land, a territory ruled only by the Archduke?

Adele gave a small smile and continued talking while looking at Robert.

“I decided so.”

As far as this northern part was concerned, even the princess was no different.
