The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

The next day, in the castle's own room.

Rain keeps coming down the zather.

……

After breakfast, I'm usually on my way to the guild.

My partner, Ginn, is now home.

I won't be able to get a single request, but I won't be able to get a big one.

Exactly... I'm tired of picking up shellfish.

If I picked a lot, I might see Elsa's smile.

Bad for her, but I'm not a cheap guy who works hard for such a sales smile.

"Alberto."

"Oh, thank you"

I'll have the tea the maid put me in.

I can't help but go out on such a sneaky rainy day.

I look out the window.

"Phew."

Place one elbow on the table and exhale.

Something... like Ginn's gone and his chest is flat empty.

He's annoying, you know.

"Huh."

Sigh again.

I didn't know you'd do it unconsciously... it could be pretty serious.

It keeps raining in my heart.

Now I just have to wait and believe that time will fix it.

I stare at myself in the window.

……

I thought it would look good if I saw it from the side now.

As exciting as it would be for a woman to see.

Unusual sadness. I feel a gap in the atmosphere and may be thrilled.

See the maid on the side with chirali.

A maid with a kyotonic expression.

... Ah, I don't seem very interested.

I may have gotten too drunk on myself.

Well, I just feel a little up, so I'll be good.

and... put that away first.

I do feel like I'm wasting my time.

Good luck with that lately.

I have no problem relaxing and resting...

I like hobbies and all that.

I'm not an adult enough to enjoy watching these changes in scenery for a long time.

That one at my age, but still young mentally...... should be.

……

Let's just calm down.

One sip of tea again...... Hmm, delicious.

"You've gotten better at making tea."

"... thank you very much"

I have nothing to do, so I'll just compliment the maid.

Not one of these casual words matters in a relationship.

Subtle, keep your liking.

I think my cheeks moved like a crack, but it would be a coincidence.

I guess I just didn't think you'd suddenly be complimented.

The name of this maid is Natasha.

My maid in charge at the castle.

Semi-long with blonde hair extended to her shoulders.

A woman with charming cheeks.

She makes me tea, cleans my room while I'm away and takes care of everything.

"Don't stop... the rain, it makes me feel so bad"

I decide to have a chat with my maid in the meantime.

We've never talked that much before, and this is a good opportunity.

Don't hesitate, sometimes the other side didn't talk to me.

Enter from the topic of difficult weather for now.

"I'm sorry, but it looks like we're going down for a couple of days. Does Master Alberto have plans for today?

"It's raining, and I'm going to spend some time in the castle"

"Really?"

I hope it clears up by the time Clive leaves for Lidomdora.

It's easy to get around and feel better.

"I hope it clears up soon"

"Yes."

"Do you think my heart will clear with you?

"Come on... even if I ask you"

The maid mumbles on my question.

Well...... do you have any trouble getting asked that?

It's amazing how I developed the conversation the wrong way.

It didn't seem like much of a conversation, so I decided to leave the room.

I felt a sense of distance between us.

He said the maid cleaned the room, too.

Reese and Clife are busy at work, but now they have Luminaria as well.

Because of this, let's go and see him.

He didn't say he was going out, so maybe he should be in the castle.

"Hey."

"Mr. Alberto."

You found something right away.

Luminaria was reading in the lounge.

"... is the guild job good?

"I don't even have plans today. I was hoping I could help my sisters with something. I was relaxed and said no, so I'm reading a book here."

"Really...... hmm?

Something about the book Luminaria is reading, you have a vested sense of vision.

It's like lately.

The back cover said 'Love and falsehood to her at the window'.

(I bet you don't remember reading it... huh?

"Hey, I think I saw that book somewhere"

"... uh, well... I guess so"

"Why are you stuck in words? Is that a pretty book?

"No... it's a book Mr. Alberto wasted in the park before. I was lucky enough to keep it in the castle library, so I was worried about it."

".................. Oh, that one"

I saw it during a park riot with Luminaria.

When I threw my bag in my face, my drink went bad on the book Luminaria was reading.

"I don't care anymore, I could read more like this."

"Oh, oh."

Well, you're saying he doesn't care.

It wouldn't be a good idea to care too much.

"Uh, what? Is that funny... the book"

"It's funny, it's a love romance on King's Road that currently has up to five volumes"

Luminaria said it's also a play.

But...

"Love romance... not really interested"

"Well, maybe it's not for men,"

"No, I'm not. I've never loved anyone before, so I'm not sure about love."

"Oh, it's too heavy... I don't think you have to worry that much. So what kind of book do you prefer?

"Right, I mean it's stimulating, I mean it's exciting, I like that kind of work that makes an impact on my mind. Other than love romance."

"It's vague, then how about cochlear?

Give me one of the books that Luminaria had on the table.

It says "Adventures of Tonkels," a cover with a boy with a sword in the back of the blue sky.

"This is a book I finished reading a while ago, but that was a pretty impactful story. It's for Mr. Alberto, if you have time, why don't you read it?

"Hmm."

Asking Luminaria about the brief, she became an adventurer with a certain kick-ass, ordinary boy who lived in a rural village, crusading demons, featuring stories with which she would eventually be bound to a princess.

That seems like a normal story to ask...

Well, if Luminaria says so much, why don't you read it?

I don't have anything to do anyway.

Two hours have passed.

"Oh, that's funny."

"Yes, sir."

When I realized it, I was reading it.

It's time for a bumpy lunch.

The protagonist is a mediocre boy with no particular prominence.

It was a life that could not be called luxury, but it was not enough to eat or have trouble, and we lived amicably and happily in the village.

And, the beginning was an idyllic village slow life thing, but the story moves at once from where the protagonist picked up and protected an injured demonic child in a nearby forest.

At the end of the volume, when the boy is having a harvest festival in the village where he lives, an army of demons appears out of the woods to retrieve the protected demon child and ends where the village is besieged.

Well, don't think it's a bad separation to say the book's faults, though.

In a way, I'm worried about you.

Is it a strategy to make you buy the next volume?

Not even the princess Luminaria was talking about at the moment.

Well...... what happens after this.

It would be a guy called the protagonist who does something from here.

Would it be nice if urbanism were part of the story?

You can have a happy ending as long as you want in the story.

"I'll leave you two volumes here,"

"... Oops, dude"

"What is it?

I brought you two volumes. I call off Luminaria.

"... it's pretty meaningful that this cover is undead. What?

Honestly, I'm not pulling a dong.

I'm dying to read it all at once.

Isn't that a happy ending?

The avenge route is straight.

"... it would have an impact, wouldn't it?

"Well, I'm not looking for that kind of impact."

I should have tried to have a meaningful time, but I don't feel like I wasted half my time.

but that's what I've read so far because of it, and I decided to read it to the end.

……

Continuing with the book, the village was destroyed by demons who came to retrieve the child.

I didn't know we'd be harvested by demons.

If you think about it, you can't speak the language, and if you can't negotiate, then you will.

Ungrateful, but for a demon, it wouldn't be what you found out.

One volume did not depict the main character's training scene, nor is it the inevitable result.

Thirty years after the village perished, the boy rises as a skeleton.

He crusades demons to eliminate tragedies and becomes famous as he ventures into hiding his identity in armor.

Ultimately, it was about being tied to the princess of the country you helped.

At the end of the day, I was surprised that the story was neatly wrapped up.

The scene of revealing her face to the princess was quite moving.

After reading it, I refer to the book's thoughts as Luminaria.

Thus, during the rain, they relaxed and sprinkled into reading.

If I had spent so much time with Luminaria, two days would have passed in no time.

The day has come for Cliff to leave the castle.

The weather is beautiful...... good.

I dropped you off on the roof of Castle Menardo, me, Liese and Luminaria.

And there are castle maids and guards.

"... then I'm coming"

Clife takes only a small offering and takes the Griffon flight to Ridomdora.

Griffon is Mr. Naika, who gave me a ride when me and Liese were coming to Menardo.

When I greeted him lightly, he returned it to me as well.

Brother, please be safe.

"Oh, Marisel too, don't push too hard."

A goodbye to a beautiful blonde beauty...... don't be a painting.

Next, turn to Luminaria.

"I'm sorry I haven't seen you in a while."

"No, I don't"

"Relax in the castle, we'll talk again when you get back"

And it's me at the end.

"Alberto......"

"Oops. Whatever... be careful"

"Oh."

"If anything happens to you, Reese will be sad, don't get the priorities wrong."

It would be best if the talks were successful.

My life is first and foremost.

Even if the talks end in failure and the de-curse on my back fails, it's better than his death.

"If you think it's dangerous, do everything you can to escape."

Fortunately, I have 8,000 years of time limit until I die.

There must be hope if that's all there is to it.

"So don't worry about me...... no wait, don't bother with that either"

……

I dressed a little too much.

Because it's eight thousand years old, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll find an absolute curse.

"Sorry, I overstated it. Priority number five... don't be too low, four, no. I just need you to set it at about second."

"... you're finally gushing up. arrogant or not"

That's what I said, Cliff laughing all the time.

"Well, leave it to me anyway"

"Oh, I asked for it."

Wave and drop off the Demon King.

That's how Cliff traveled through the castle.
