Two as One Princesses

"Ayn, Ayn! That's the town, right?

As the carriage was walking on a path so wide that it was different, Syel called my name as he shrugged.

Ahead of Ciel's finger is a wall built to block the road. Further up on the hill beyond, you can also see the walls and castles, although they don't seem big. Further behind, it seems, is a mountain.

I don't know by this world standard, but it doesn't look like a big town.

'I've never seen these towns before, but I think they are'

"I don't see anybody nearby, but what do you think?

'You don't even look like that in detection. If it's a small animal or a demon, I'll be here and there.'

"Does that mean it's not a very big city?

'Right. At least, there's definitely not a lot of people.'

Somehow, there was a long line of snakes at the gate when it came to town, and it was an image of how many hours it would take to get in, but I guess that's not true unless it's also a big town.

I think it's one promise to get tangled up when you're in line, but that doesn't even seem to happen here.

As good as it's not going to get tangled up, I wanted to know a lot about it before I went into town, but I'm not going to be able to collect it.

To a situation where there were no people around him, even if he could see the town, Ciel gave a subtle look that was reassuring and falling short of expectations.

"Is that a good idea?

'After all, don't you want to meet a man?

"Yeah, well... yeah"

'If it was, you could replace it now, right?

"Nobody's here yet, right? I'll be fine."

'I'd like to confirm this in advance, but in case you're going to fight in public, is Ciel okay?

I don't know how bad Ciel is at the moment, as I can't help but say he doesn't like men. If it's everyday life, I think it's okay if I do it instead, but if my predictions are right, I have to get into trouble and fight my male counterparts.

It would be more convenient if Ciel could fight then, or I might not lose, but I can't win either.

But Ciel says he can win. The only objective strength we have so far is information like this to the extent that we don't struggle with the first giant, but I can speculate that this is quite strong.

Either way, the first giant was the strength to gently defeat the guard the pig man had with him, and his guards had defeated the demons without risk until they met the first giant.

At least, why don't you consider yourself as capable as a middleman?

Although it is possible that the escort is weak, and the first giant is enough to defeat it if he has some understanding of the battle.

"It's okay. In the first place, if Ain't with you, what's not scary about them.

Otherwise, you can't be scared of that guy?

'Sure it may be, but if it doesn't seem possible, tell me'

As Ciel put it, even the Duke of Lispergia, who would be the biggest opponent of trauma, Ciel was resolute.

But I think that's bearable and doesn't give me a break.

This neighborhood will be good to see how it goes. Because it's Ciel's life, there's not much I can say.

◇

'You didn't know when you saw it from afar, but the walls were so big.

I wonder how tall I am. And you keep going all the way over there. '

'I think it protects the town from demons, so it must be surrounding the town'

'I mean, all the way over there, there's a town going on, right? Wow, wow.'

I can only hear Ciel, but he's kind of smiling.

It was surprisingly easy, though I tried to see if I could talk to you without speaking up to you to try, because you could be seen by dangerous people talking to yourself more often than entering town.

That's why we came so close to the wall we were seeing. Even though the gate didn't even have a queue, there was a line going into town, so I switched with Ciel to get to now about the rear end. A few people saw me when I lined up, but I can't help it all.

The clothing of the people in line is still different from that in Japan, and there are many simple designs that seem sturdy with thick cloth. If you're a man, you're weaving clothes and trousers like a blank long t-shirt, plus a cape.

It feels like a simple piece for a woman, for stylishness or wearing a vest.

Apart from that, some people have a lot of ornaments, such as boots and hats that seem sturdy.

I can only imagine that the former is a person from a nearby village and the latter is a traveller or a person from a distance.

In that, I am quite floating. First of all, we are all clearly taller than I am. I think even the shortest ones have about the difference between adults and children compared to me.

Even about the outfit, it still floats because it's not right for my body.

Fortunately, not many people can't see their hair, so it doesn't stand out in that regard.

Here, if you were more communal, you might have been spoken to by someone before you. Above all, I would have gathered information and intended it if there were people, but unfortunately I had no communal power.

I want to believe that I didn't mean no at all because I had minimal communication in my lifetime, but I didn't have a lot of friends or go outside often, so only to the extent that I didn't have any trouble with everyday life. And most importantly, the 10-year blank is big.

And I can't even just run away, so I'm going to listen to you at the gate.

Because you won't be able to get in soon anyway.

If I had thought about that, it would soon be my turn.

The gate is from an opening and closing ceremony with no philosophy whatsoever, but its size seems to require a few powers just to open and close it. Is it equipped with a function that opens and closes automatically?

There is a gatekeeper standing on the left and right side of that gate in pairs, one responding to the person who came and the other staring at the condition.

Then, a dozen people were caught in detection waiting to see if it was also a watchtower inside the gate.

If anything goes wrong, I guess they'll take you out the door where I saw you a little bit, to a place like the office.

"Next" was called short, and my turn came.

It's a combination of people who only wear minimal protective gear at about 30 and people who don't look good in armor, and their first impressions are of things like gutted uncles.

When the gatekeeper admitted my appearance, he scratched his head like trouble after opening his eyes like a little.

"Boy...... no, are you a lady? Being here means you want to get into the town of Sanois, right?

Where are my parents?

"I came alone. My parents... the..."

I'll go out of my way to say it. Tell the truth, there's no way you can believe me, and if you do, you'd be more likely to be stuck out by the Duke of Lispergia.

I've been thinking about setting this up to some extent, but if you take it personally, I've never gone over it. Because if you got me wrong, you might be able to interpret and convince me of this impossible setting on your own, too.

When the gatekeeper showed him the pose to put his arms together and think, he called out to one of the others behind him to "call me to take turns". When the armored man nods without speaking, he enters the door, which he had seen from the beginning.

The remaining gatekeeper continued the conversation, exhaling to deceive the sigh.

"I'm sorry, but you can't keep the lady inside the gate. You know that, right?

"You have money, don't you?

"There's that, too. And then we'll have to see if it's okay to put him in town.

So I'm going to talk to you, 'cause I don't have much time here. I'll go to the back and have a conversation. "

"So you're letting me in town?

"If the lady doesn't have a problem. If you can't... ahhh... I don't know what to do..."

His uncle, who burned because of his job as a gatekeeper, snapped with a weak voice as the words progressed.

Apparently, he's not a bad uncle, he's relieved.

It didn't seem to be just people like the Duke of Lispergia, the Noble Butler, or the pig man. If this is the case, it may not be far off, even on the day that Ciel leaves it to him.

The armored man brought in a similar pair, so once the conversation is interrupted, he is taken inside the door instead. At the end of the door was a hallway, and there were many doors on the right.

What I was taken to was a room with some simplicity in my desk and chair. I get the cold impression because the whole room is made of stone.

My uncle told me to be in this room, and then he left.

The windows for brightness are in a high position, but my height will not allow me to know beyond them.

At a time like this, when you're about the age of Ciel, how do you react? Are you scared by the atmosphere or will curiosity prevail?

'Which do you think it is?

"You don't have a choice."

I asked Ciel and she returned the obvious.

Once again, I asked how Ciel would have reacted, and I hear a confident voice saying, 'That's unresponsive.'

'I know it's different than anyone I've ever had.

But I don't know how to talk about it. So just so we don't talk about it as much as we can, I think we're gonna be unresponsive.

So thanks to Ayn, I'm here to help. "

"I don't even know if you have my response because if you just talk about the possibilities, it doesn't mean you're stuck here."

"Then you just have to do everything you can to escape."

Ciel is happy to propose, but I want to do my best not to adopt the proposal.

If we were to hire them, we could sacrifice a few people, and by making a scene, someone stronger than us might be called.

Above all, that uncle could be stronger than us.

A little while later, when my uncle came back, I brought a woman with me.

Is it the clerical way, someone who looks like he's about 20 years old dressed in a small, beautiful outfit, and feels like his eyes looking at me are exploring something, and he's restless. He has something like a pen in one hand and a board in the other, so maybe he's a secretary.

"Just sit down."

My uncle told me, so I sit in the opposite chair to the one where my uncle would rather sit.

Between me and the exit, in the form of an uncle, the woman stands diagonally behind her uncle.

It must have been in consideration of me, once a woman, who brought a woman. There was no particular introduction over there, and the investigation began.

"Lady. What's your name?"

"It's Cielmail."

"Where have you been, miss?

"It's in the woods. Behind the woods, I lived with your father and mother.

So... uh... "

"No, you don't have to talk about it from there"

Looking at my uncle shaking his head, when it's like this when it's a girl, I seriously think it's very convenient.

If this was a good old man, this wouldn't go. If I were a good old man, I wouldn't have been brought here in the first place, though I think I would have paid the toll and let him in town.

Sometimes in the story I named Ciel Mail because this body belongs to Ciel, but it also has something to do with my purpose since I got into town.

"Then I guess... It's impossible to include a child who doesn't even have a profession unless there's so much..."

"I'm 10 years old, right?

It was kind of misunderstood, so to be honest, my uncle let me squeeze my eyes and say, "Is that true?" He raised his voice.

I thought they were all tall, but I guess they're races like the European-American people in places like Earth.

I know Ciel is with us, but whatever you think, she wasn't nutritious enough to grow, so maybe growth is lagging behind.

Returning from surprise, his uncle looked somewhat relieved. Apparently, he's more likely to get into town.

"If you're 10, you can go through, right?

"Even if you're 10 years old, it's not easy to get through, but it's easier to get through than it is under 9."

"Well, let me through"

"It's the mountains that want to do that, though. What can the lady do? Just to be clear, if you get into town and you can't do anything, you're in trouble."

Behind "what can I do" is a hidden profession, but I'm not going to answer honestly here. When I really have to answer, I say I'm a singing princess, but it won't be that time either.

"You can defeat demons"

"If you live in the back of the woods, I guess so. If so, do you mean hunter aspirations"

"Hunters are people who take down demons and live, right?

"It's my main job to defeat demons, but when they're low ranked, I'm talking about doing requests like a child's use.

If the lady can truly defeat the demon, the rank below will soon fall out... "

I'll stop talking halfway through it and see my uncle flicker like he wants something.

I'm not happy my uncle saw me like that, but I know what I'm trying to say, so I decided to even put it out on the spider's demon stone.

I'm going to look at this demon stone reaction and figure out what I'm going to do with the first giant in the future.

When I put a demon stone on my desk the size that I could hold critically with one hand, my uncle said again as a surprise, "Huh?" He raised his voice.

"Is this so unusual?

"No, that's not unusual. Rather, it's like I see it a lot.

But a 10-year-old brought it. At least, the hunter's runout level is exceeded. Is that all you've been given a brilliant profession? "

"If it depends on your profession and you're okay, you're not so surprised, are you?

After answering my question, my uncle talked to me like he was talking to me, but I will also gather information and try to lay down the questions.

What about as a gatekeeper, though his mouth may be lighter because he's a child and a girl?

Though it may just be telling me because it's within common sense, it helps me tremendously.

"Normally it takes a few years for the power of the profession to be used to some extent.

I'm not familiar with it, but it's going to take me about two years to start hunting demons, even as a hunter. "

"Can you be a hunter from the age of 10?

"If only I would. If I were over 10, I could be irrelevant to my profession. Unless you want to talk about how life works out."

"Then it's like you found my job."

"Oh, right. It looks like a lady would be okay to put you in town. Toll, but can you pay for two big silver coins?

If you have a deed, it's free, but you don't have a lady, do you?

"I don't have it. Even if you're a hunter, do you have money to get into town?

Make the money play in the bag while appropriately connecting stories.

Although it is a bag containing gold and silver coins, the trouble is that it is called a large silver coin.

The currencies you have are gold coins, gold coins, silver coins are all the same size. To see where the original owner was rich, I thought it was a silver coin. I guess this means a big silver coin, but that's not necessarily right either.

"If you're a hunter, show me your credentials and you'll be free to cross," he told me, taking out the gold coins and putting them on his desk.

"Is this okay?

"I'm not exactly surprised, but has the gold come out? Alta, do you have eight big silver coins?

"Yes, I'm ready for once"

For the first time since I walked into the room, a woman who had been writing down our conversation spoke words.

Apparently his name is Mr. Alta. I had the impression that my emotions were difficult to read from my voice color and I felt like I was a worker.

And they're going to be one gold coin for 10 big silver coins.

"Well, then, miss, I'm sorry to hold you back"

"Um!"

After the exchange of money, I kind of ended the conversation, there was an atmosphere like, so I would speak up a bit and tell him I still had something to talk about.

It's bad for my uncle, but I want to get as much information as I can here.

"What's up?

"How much can I give you to stay in an inn in this town?

"I guess it's about two silver coins. Higher, though, I would do more. I can stay for about 40 days with that money, so don't worry."

With 80 silver coins, 8 large silver coins means 1 large silver coin with 10 silver coins? Easy to remember and helpful.

Or is that what's happening so it's easy to remember?

At last, the silver coins on hand are likely to be large silver coins. For a fairly long time, I don't think I'll have any problems with the money.

"And where can I be a hunter?

"A large building that knocks over the gate and then goes straight and just pokes at it is the building that holds the hunter together. Hunter union, you're a so-called guild.

Do you want me to write you a letter of introduction? Ma'am, maybe they're going to pay you in advance. "

That's what my uncle said, he received a piece of paper from Mr. Alta and started writing something.

The references are honestly helpful, and if you don't admit you're 10, instead of hunters, you won't even get the right job.

I've heard a lot of stories, and the questions are next and last, let's talk again at the Hunter Union.

"Does this town ever get bullied by the color of its hair?

"Oh, lady's hair. It's rare to be so white, but I don't think so."

"Um... were you aware?

"The lady hid it. I didn't dare touch it because I did, but I'm still a gatekeeper.

Well, you'll stand out, so you better be careful. Hunters are bad. "

"Yes, I'll be careful. Thank you for your story."

Finally, I apologize for thinking about what it's like to be a gatekeeper in my heart.

After this, they were taken outside to break up, just like they did when they came.

My uncle, who told me, "If anything happens, come this far," when we split up, I think he's a really good guy.

Anyway, I was able to get into town safely, so I decided to go to the guild first.
