Power may be good to have close at hand, but it is dangerous if abused. Because you never know when and where the daggers of those without power will come and hit you..
As the next emperor, Esmuer knew this fact better than anyone else..
"Even if you do something friendly, shouldn't you always be considerate and kind to avoid regrets? What I said to that child was not a lie, so there is nothing to criticize.."
I looked at Esmueh who was sitting next to me with a smile, but I didn't have anything to say because it wasn't wrong..
The only problem is that the 'sharing of information to reconcile the conversation' she spoke of was completed in less than 3 minutes..
"I didn't think I had a strong desire to be exclusive, but as this continues to unfold, it turns out that's not the case. I began to feel a strange sense of fun in the process of using my brain as much as possible to come up with a reasonable reason and taking the time to properly spend time alone. Above all, if I succeed, I can actually spend time with you, so it's perfect from start to finish.."
I feel embarrassed when I see a face that matches the expression of smiling brightly..
"Isn’t this a violation of the agreement the three of us had??"
"Wouldn't that be too advantageous to Asilier? Of course there is no problem.."
It looks like they reviewed it thoroughly and concluded their own contract..
"Rather, I want to hear the story of what happened so far. Even though the time you were in the detention center was barely over a week, there must have been a lot of incidents.."
"...It was like that."
In the end, we ended up spending time talking and summarizing the events that had happened since we parted ways with her in the empire. She spoke very selectively, but in the end it was in the form of a conversation rather than an explanation, and by the time she came to her senses, the sun had already set and it was almost dinner time..
And Asilier, who had been away to help Ragnis, returned..
"I was wondering why the mansion was so noisy, and Esmueh was there.?"
"I decided to ask the owner of Ogatorp to stay there for one night.."
"Hmm. Oh, come to think of it, I heard that she took an active part in helping L.D. this time. thank you."
"...Hehehe. Why do I need to hear words of gratitude when I'm just doing something for my future friend?."
"...Hehehe. It's sharp as expected."
I have to eat dinner soon, but I was afraid I would get indigestion if I continued like this, so I quickly changed the topic..
"Sister, please come quickly and sit down. Something really unexpected happened today."
The passing wizard I met when I was young was actually a court wizard of a country and a well-known magic researcher, and the story of meeting them again by chance after 10 years was enough to make even Asilier widen her eyes in surprise..
However, after a short period of time, an inexplicable shadow began to appear on Asilier's face..
"...LDI? Elves have a saying: 'the end of childhood'."
As soon as I heard it, Arthur C. Clark's novel came to mind, but of course a story unrelated to it followed..
"Since elves have few children, they raise them with great care. In particular, I tend to pathologically protect myself during times when I can't communicate with spirits and can't even sense mana. If you continue to do so and gain both abilities, you will hold a ceremony to celebrate that and at the same time ensure that the child's future will always be safe, even though he or she will be less protected than before.."
"That's the end of childhood?"
"No, I mean exactly right before that time comes. There are times when you receive unexpected teachings, gain enlightenment, or become enlightened.."
Asilier added that although not all elves experience it, it is not rare enough to be accepted by any tribe..
"But the lives of elves who have experienced such things are miserable.."
She explained that there is a strange commonality in living a life so dramatic that it is hard to believe that it is the life of an elf, such as becoming the protagonist of a heroic story almost like something out of a legend or facing endless misfortune..
"So some call it God's final care. At the last moment when they can be directly protected under God's blessing, God, who saw their fate in advance and felt sorry for them... sees it as a process of showing mercy.."
"It seems like I'm in a similar situation.."
"...huh."
I immediately understood why they bothered to bring this up..
It was such an amazing meeting that even I decided to pray to God every day from now on. Asilier seems to be worried that a path of thorns will suddenly unfold in front of her like the characters in the examples explained above..
"What's the big deal? Anyway, my life has been a mess since I was 8 years old.."
In fact, it would be true that he was born with an abnormality. There have been many incidents and accidents since then, but it is no exaggeration to say that the strange fate refers to my life now..
"In fact, even I already think that my future will not be smooth, so I don't think there is any need to worry about it again.."
On the contrary, if God is really preparing the final blessing as Asilier said, then we should welcome it with open arms..
If it weren't for that, I would have just sat there wondering how I could become even a little stronger than I am now..
If you consider whether it is a sign of misfortune or a gift to prepare for misfortune, it is definitely the latter..
"Because I have no intention of dying while acting brave.."
"And we won't let you die easily either. It's no use worrying."
Perhaps because the momentary emotional change was so sudden, Esmu opened her mouth to help me and reassure Asilier..
It may not be perfect, but Asilier still responded to our consolation with a smile..
"huh. I may have thought too negatively of myself because I had acquaintances who had experienced bad things in the past. So, magic classes are now included in Eldy’s daily life.?"
"Even though I don't know specifically how much time it will take... it will likely take quite a bit of time. I'm still going to talk to Cheryl or Lord Ekaf about this.."
Originally, I had planned to talk to Sheryl and ask Lord Ekaf for her understanding once the future plans were solidified, but no matter how busy I was, I was worried that the royal castle would force me to return if the princess of the empire came to stay at my house, so I decided to wait and see for now..
Hmm, after thinking about it a little more, I wonder if we can't contact each other since we don't have a proper communication device. Because not everyone has a crystal ball..
"In some cases, I might quit my job at the mansion, find an inn, and just watch the training.."
"If you leave Ogatorf Manor, wouldn't Ragnis come to get you right away??"
"It makes sense......!"
Even when he first came to the capital, Ragnis was very angry at being told that he was indebted to Ogatorf. If I tell you I'm leaving, I think they'll do whatever it takes to take you with me..
"Still, I think we need to move away from the luxurious lifestyle...."
No matter how adaptable humans are, it is difficult for them to adapt to anything that changes too rapidly..
Even if I don't get the Wandering Knight's Distinguished Service Order, I will receive it in the early to mid next year. Considering that I will be traveling to the front after that, I think I need to get used to normal life from now on..
While working as a butler at a mansion, I have learned approximate prices, market prices, knowledge, and common sense through voluntary effort, so I think it is right to free up that time and devote it to adventure work and magic..
"If you move out of the mansion, won't it cost quite a bit of money to live there?."
"I have a lot of money."
This is not something I would say to the princess of an empire, but from a general perspective, I am rich..
Even if the cost of living in the capital city is not at a reasonable level, if you combine the money I have earned so far with the compensation from the abandoned dungeon that I have not yet received in full, and the compensation officially given by the empire, I have a lot of travel funds, so it is an issue worth considering..
"I already wanted to keep my distance from the royal family, but it might really be better that way.."
For a plan that I put together in a stream of consciousness without much thought, I really like it..
After that, we were chatting, wondering whether to do this or that, like friends who decided to go on a group trip for the first time in a while, when the employee came and announced that the meal was ready..
As expected, Sir Ekaf was not at the restaurant where the employee arrived. Looking at Cheryl sitting uncomfortably in the matriarch's seat, she didn't seem to like the situation too much..
Fortunately for me, who was worried about whether to act vaguely distant in the tense atmosphere of the restaurant, thanks to his etiquette, Esmue was busy talking only with Cheryl, who welcomed her as the head of the small family..
Thanks to this, I was able to transfer all the inconveniences to Cheryl and enjoy the special dinner to welcome the princess to my heart's content. It often seemed like Cheryl was looking at her and sending her a rescue signal asking her to please join the conversation, but she just turned away..
If I'm not like this, when else would I watch Cheryl having a hard time? It was so much fun that I wanted to pick up popcorn and eat it during the meal..
"Anyway, I get grumpy in strange places.."
Only Asilier, who noticed my scent like a ghost, clicked her tongue and looked at me with a look that said she couldn't stop me..
This doesn't have to be just me!
