Unmotivated Hero's Tale

The wind magic bound Talim, who passed out, and Yui and the others returned to Carlin City at such a time that the sun would no longer set.

When Clary was instructed to manage Tarim's body in an army cell, Yui put Elise on his horse's back and went straight to Samuel's apartment.

Meanwhile, Samuels, who had received a report from Kreha about Elise's cheapness a foot earlier, had been waiting for Yui to come along in front of their own mansion.

"Oh, you're all here."

Yui scratches one head as illuminated by their welcome waiting for Yui's return as a delight.

And when I grated my body from the horse, I offered my hand to Elise, who was riding behind me.

"Thanks, and..."

Elise, who still grabbed Yui's hand even as she got off the horse, got no more words and gets stiff with her eyes on him at the top of her head.

But when she never tried to open her mouth again, at that time the samurai arrived towards Elise, and she was instantly surrounded.

"Dear Elise, well done. You're safe!

The appearance of the ladies clung to her in tears.

Seeing it, Yui turns back on her heels with a bitter laugh.

And when he made administrative contact with Samuel and Ernst, he headed straight to the room reserved for himself, entrusting his tired body to the bed with gravity, and went straight to sleep like mud.

"Master Istarts, Master Istarts"

I hear an unfamiliar woman from outside the room and Yui wakes up hah.

And when I opened the door with my sleeping eyes open, there stood the maid of arms of Count Samuel.

"Master Isterz. The Count is here to see you. Could you come here as soon as possible?

Yui, told of the requirements, reluctantly accepts that he has no choice but to give a look as if he is leaving untrained on the bed.

And as he did, he hurried to Samuel's room.

"Istarz, come in."

Head to Yui, who knocked on Samuel's room, and a voice will be uttered inviting him.

As Yui quietly opened the door and moved herself indoors, there was a sight of Ernst and Samuel sitting on the couch making a mockery.

With Yui in his eyes, Samuel recommends the seat next to Ernst with a grin.

And he sat there. No, Samuel bowed his head deeply toward the young officer in front of him.

"Please don't, Mayor. I just did my job."

"Surely your men said, 'The captain just took a delicious place'"

When Ernst, sitting next to him, tears up like that with a laugh, Yui smiles the usual bitterness as if he were weak.

But Samuel shook his head to the left and right, denying such a statement.

"Even if it is. If anything happened to Elise, you would know what happened to this Carlin..."

"Right...... right. That's, well."

In response to Samuel's words, Yui scratches his head twice, indicating a certain willingness to agree.

"But Elise told me that you've been investigating the Tarims for a long time."

"Yeah, you're right."

When Yui nods and affirms to the inquiry, Samuel turns to him and hits the question, showing a slightly lost bare gesture.

"Why were you looking into Tarim? No, I understand you're here for an internal audit of this Carlin. But as far as your reputation is concerned... this is rude, but I can't imagine working that aggressively."

Though reluctant, Yui laughs again after a rather tough inquiry.

And stroking his hair lightly, he slowly opened its mouth.

"Ha, I'm not really willing to hide anything else, but that's true. Because it's basically my doctrine to work as easily and efficiently as possible. So I think it would be nice if you thought that this was not a violation of my doctrine."

"Does it not go against doctrine...? I wonder what the hell that means?

With an intriguing look at Yui's answer, Samuel urges him to continue the conversation further.

"Right...... I'm sure you know that Talim's forces were quite eroding inside the Carlin army. So, it's my job sent by Wang Du to pick up their wrongdoings, but I was thinking of putting them together and eliminating any hassle if I could. It's extremely inefficient to list every single misconduct within the military."

"Hmm, so how did you actually move?

Samuel nods loudly once and shifts the focus of the story to the way he did.

"The first thing I've done is do nothing... no, would it be more accurate to say that I can skip"

"... what does that mean?

When Samuel opens his eyes to Yui's unexpected reply, he asks him with a slight foreboding.

"Eh, what would have happened if I had prosecuted their misconduct one after the other early in my tenure? Probably if you did that, you could have prosecuted the first few cases or so lightly, but it probably wouldn't have lasted long. Because they're not stupid either."

"Sure. So I pretended not to be motivated to break their guard."

When Samuel speaks that way as he was impressed, Ernst puts tea in as he shakes his neck to the left and right.

"Mr. Isterz. I don't think it was just acting in your case.

"Ha, of course I won't deny that. But it's also true that you had that intention. Well, when they behaved that way, they didn't have to worry about my eyes or anything, so it was a great pleasure to work in activities and activities, and I investigated them one by one."

"I see. I mean, it was a simulation of hobbies and benefits."

When he was convinced to listen to Yui, Samuel nodded contentedly.

"Well, that's the place. I was just wondering if I'd have enough evidence to send it to the top of the army. Hey, Elise's sudden arrival here for a rampage was a miscalculation, or totally off the record."

With that in his mouth, Yui shrugs his shoulders with his arms wide to the left and right.

Then the door, which was attached to the side of Samuel's room, suddenly opened, as if to have anticipated its timing.

"... sorry to hear that, rambling on your own"

At the end of an open door.

There was Elise with a slightly swollen cheek and a stubborn look on her face.

"Did you hear that...... sorry, that was a silence"

While trying to be a little obstinate, he turns to Elise, who somewhat seems sorry to lean over, and Yui apologizes awkwardly.

But in response to Yui's apology, she immediately shook her head to the left and right and denied it.

"No, you're right. And on top of that, I sincerely appreciate your help, Elise von Ertboot."

"What... no, it's a waste of time"

Afraid of Elise's words, which are royal, Yui slightly stuffs the words in unexpected circumstances.

Meanwhile, Elise, who saw such a look at Yui, softened her expression a little and lowered her hips to the couch opposite him.

"So what can I say as a reward, is there anything you want? Of course I mean as much as I can."

"Ha, right...... even if it's money or rights?

"Yeah, if you want something like that, I'd love to."

Listening to Yui's joke, Elise smiles purposefully cold when she regains a little of her usual tone.

"No, no, I'm fine. I don't need that stuff myself. However, if I can be sweet with your words, I'd just like to ask you one thing."

"I wonder what? Say it."

Elyse, curious as to what content to mouth, stared firmly into both of those eyes to value Yui.

With Elise's eyes pointed like those of a gem, Yui glances off softly as she illuminates.

And when he took a breath, he mouthed something no one on the spot had imagined.

"Can I have Lute Hanneburg's neck, who was the chief of security this time?

The moment he mouthed the wish, the other three who were on the spot gave him an unexpected look and his gaze focused on Yui.

"Mr. Isterz. I think this princess's offer is a good opportunity for you to go back to the center... are you sure it's just about someone else?

In response to an unexpected Yui offer, Samuel confirms so in surprise, he shakes his neck vertically scratching his head.

"Yeah, I don't mind. This city suits me, and I like this land. Besides, Tarim and the others are gone. From now on, you'll be able to wave bigger and make it easier."

"... I'll confirm, are you sure that's all right? If you saved the royal life, there's no way you're going to flatter some promotion. Besides, if I ask your father, I don't think it's possible to take you into nobility."

Ask Yui that while Elise gives some examples.

But he solidified the offer lightly.

"No, even when it comes to promotion, I'm the head of a unit at this age. Honestly, that's enough for me. First of all, nobility is not my pattern, and when it does, you'll just get more extra work, right? If so, I'd rather say no, even if they say they'll give me the title."

Yui's clear expression when he said so.

Elise, who saw it, understood at this time that he was serious about it.

"... I see you're still interesting. Before I got here, I heard two stories about you in the Wang Dynasty, both of which seemed to be true."

"Rumors...... is it?

Totally indifferent to his own story, Yui tilts his neck just because he can't even predict.

With such a glimpse of his tricks, Elise smiled like a mischievous child.

"Yeah, rumors. One is what I heard in the Ministry of Military Affairs, a rumor that a man is more unmotivated and lazy than anyone else"

"Oh, I see. You'll see."

With a bitter laugh, Yui shakes her neck twice vertically just to convince her.

Then Elise mouthed a second rumor without getting her hair in.

"And the second, a genius pretending to be an incompetent daylight. This is the only story I've ever heard from one person."

"... who is it? You said something appropriate like that."

"Oh? Someone you know well. You're a cadet school principal now."

"Lord Reinberg..."

Just the lead and thought-provoker among people who are buying too much about themselves.

With that name in his ear, Yui shook his head unexpectedly.

"He said this, too, as long as you use that man effectively, this country will instantly be a great power to crown the continent. But if you leave it alone, it's just a nap, and this country will have one tax thief."

"Ha... not at all that guy. He's been buying me too much for a long time."

"Hehe, I wish I didn't have to be modest. I feel like I know how Rheinberg feels about this one, too. Anyway, I don't think there's any responsibility for Chief Lute Security. But by the name of Elise von Ertbout, the punishment, of course, will surely be worked out so that he will not be pursued by the army. So what do you say?

"Yeah, enough. Maybe he'll get back about the minute he's demoted."

That said, the grin on Yui's face was filled with some confidence as if he was proud of his proud synchronization.

The next morning, Elise's line will return to the Wang capital, and Yui wakes up early in the morning struggling to drop him off.

His hair remained slightly disturbed and sleepy-eyed in order to wake up, but he managed to put his face under a line before leaving.

Then, surprised by his presence, Aynce jumps out of the carriage to roll off.

"Ugh, you're lying... I can't believe my senior came to see me off early this morning. Bad, I'm starting to feel like it's going to rain heavily on my way home."

"Come on, I'm a man of the army, too. It's not like when I used to teach you to sleep and be late."

Turning to Aince, who looks genuinely surprised, Yui argues with a serious face.

But Aynce just smiled bitterly when she saw Yui, who could see that she was awake.

"No, I just spoke to a senior subordinate, who also said, 'It's not normal for my husband to be awake at this hour.'"

After subtly reproducing the tone of Aynce's story, Yui vows in her heart that she will use Clary all day today.

And once he exhaled loudly to kick out his drowsiness, he observed looking at Aince's entire body.

Because of its neat appearance and standing behavior, Aince is always heard from women in the Wang capital.

But now that the battle is over, scratches and burn marks are scattered between his clothes.

It was more eloquent than any word, telling the story that he was a warrior who put himself on the battlefield.

"But you had a terrible eye this time. If you can't make it to King's Capital, you'll have to take your time for a while."

"I can't, seniors. Now that all this has happened, it must be a storm of reports if you go back to Wang Du... I sincerely envy the seniors who are fleeing this land."

Thinking about his days since his return to the Wang Capital, Eince gives a melancholy look as to whether he's gotten heavier.

Yui, who saw the look on his face, accidentally laughed out of his voice.

Then there was the man who heard Yui laugh like that.

He had given detailed instructions at the head of the group, but when he noticed Yui's presence, he walked straight under him.

"Yui... Ains and I were taken care of this time"

"Fine, we were working together. We did each other's work to the best of our ability. That's what you're talking about, isn't it?

In response to Yui's statement as if he cares, Lute opens his mouth with a serious look once he shakes his head.

"... I've never been able to admit it, and I've stuck with you many times. But for this one, I'm ready, too. Yui... Be sure to come back to King's Capital"

That's why I don't have any plans at the moment.

When Yui gently makes a negative statement, Lute opens his mouth again without taking his gaze off him.

"Nothing. That's fine. Anyway, when you get back, I'll let you work under me. That's what I decided. Even if I say I don't like you."

"... lute"

"If I may add one more word... perhaps you will soon return to the king's capital"

"What do you mean?

Yui gives an unexpectedly surprising look to Lute's remarks, which he makes him predict with certainty.

Lute then looked back as if to suggest something, pointing that gaze straight towards a single carriage.

"Because you don't know Princess Elise yet... he's not an adult enough to let go of what he likes easily"

"I see, that's for sure. Ha, Senior Yui. Thank you very much."

When he comes up with an enlightened look of something up to Eince, he tells him so with a laugh.

Towards those two Yui uttered an objection, but when one of the Kingsguards approached under Eince and Lute at that time, he told them that it was time to leave.

"Well, it's time for me to let you go. Yui, well, enjoy your last vacation at best."

When Yui's shoulder is pounded with a pong and one hand, Lute throws Aynce into the carriage, who is about to regret it.

And he rode straight to his own horse.

Once on the horse, he pulls out his shoulder strength and exhales heavily.

And as he advanced the horse to the head of the group, without ever looking back, he cut ahead and began to make his way to the Wang Capital.

From the leading escort, the group in turn begins to move the horses forward.

After that, Yui looked blurry.

But a luxurious carriage, centrally located, tried to move, and suddenly a woman emerges from the inside when the carriage door is opened.

"Elise... Dear Sir?

Jumping off the carriage trying to start moving on, she rushes over without getting lost to Yui with a surprise look on her face.

And letting her breath out gently, she looked at Yui with her hair still messed up in her sleep and blew out like an age-appropriate girl.

"Absolutely no one would believe you were the hero who helped me if I saw you now."

"Stop being a hero. Because on a day with such an incorrect rettel, there will be more work than there is now."

Elise smiles happily, seeing Yui with a really troubled look on her face. And she uttered the last word she wanted to convey.

"I will return to the king's capital. And I'm going to make this country better in the only way I can... It's really good to see you this time. I could tell you with my own hands that it's not the right thing to do just to move forward foolishly."

"Ha, that was good. If you want to add one more thing, it would be helpful not to have dinner parties on the way home in the future. If you do that, my goddaughter's stomach aches will be reduced a little."

Yui tells him that in a bitter mix of laughter as he turns his gaze to the Eince way he jumps out of the carriage in a hurry.

"Yeah, I'll do good. Well, people don't change so quickly... No, I didn't want to talk about it, I wanted to thank you. I know you saved my life, but in your words, I feel a little saved, and I wanted to say that."

"I did my part to the best of my ability."

Beautiful, clear eyes pointed straight at her, Yui scratches her head twice like she was weak.

Elise, on the other hand, never distracted her eyes, but put her own thoughts in her mouth.

"Nothing. I don't mind that. I wanted to thank you in my words and not as a princess but as Elise. That's just the thing. So...... thanks, Yui"

With all that mouth, Elise leans down to hide her blushing face and quickly turns back on her heels.

Elise's last words were only heard by the two of them, and the Eins who rushed after her didn't know what she had said.

But what the two of them looked like at that time might have looked more like something else than a princess and her minister if they had seen it.

"Good day, Mr. Carlin's daylight. In the not-too-distant future, until I see you again..."

From the window of the starting carriage, Elise makes a peek at her face.

And she shook her thin, white arms wide toward Yui.

Her arms kept shaking, yes, again and again, until we couldn't see each other.
