「I’m not okay at all! Why are you here!? Or rather since when!?」
Kouki was cowering in fear while raising his voice, his hand tightly grasping from above his clothes his heart that was jumping around inside.
He even forgot to use polite language against the royal family and made tsukkomi with his usual way of talking.
That was how scary Koone-tan who sneaked behind him with a bright grin was. It was simply a horror. He wanted to yell 「Enough with this little girl already-」 with all his strength.
「Fu-fun! Koone’s 'stealthy skill” that cannot be noticed even by hero-sama is amazing right!」
「It’s not in the level of amazing……even
And then, when they turned their gaze toward the door with twitching expression, there they saw the royal guard captain biting on a handkerchief with a demonic look behind the door, and a black hearted little girl making a smile that felt like ‘hihii~~~’.
「Moana-sama. Thank you very much for the delicious drink and the meaningful talk. I’m thinking of taking some rest soon.」
「Ye, yes, right. Not that. Cough-. You’re right. A lot happened today and you must be tired. You can take a good rest for now.」
Bowing at Moana who coughed and smoothed up her appearance, Kouki then headed toward the door with brisk steps. Koone who seemed to not even intend to hide anymore was giving a thumb up at Kouki for some reason. Spenser was whispering「Duty……」 or something. Anyway he ignored everything.
「Kouki!」
Just before he got out of the door, Moana called out to him. When Kouki turned around, Moana’s gaze was swimming around because of being a bit concerned about Koone and Spenser, even so right after that she then opened her mouth after fixing a straightforward gaze at Kouki.
「Kouki is, fixated with rightness……must be because you want to save someone correct? You fear making mistake……because you are scared that you will hurt someone right? That’s, Kouki might not like it if I say this but, I think that’s Kouki’s “kindness”. That’s why, that is why. ──At the very least, that feeling of yours that think about other is “right”. I will assert that.」
「……Moana, sama.」
Kouki felt like crying very much for some reason. However, he gritted his teeth strongly to not show his unsightly side.
And then, he squeezed out some words,
「……Thank you very much.」
And replied so.
While expelling the sight of the little girl beside him making a black smile that said「Just as planned!」 outside of his field of vision.
Returning back in time for a bit, at the time when Kouki received the tour of the capital.
Past the front line desert area at the western land that was still lushly green, a certain feudal lord of a territory was raising a worried groan.
「What’s the meaning of this? There is no mistake in this report right?」
「Yes. I also inspected it myself but, there is no mistake.」
In the office, the feudal lord was making a difficult face with the written report in one hand, before long he shook his head and made a determined expression.
「Report using a letter to her majesty. Tell the messenger to prepare. We have to ask Koone-sama to come urgently.」
「Acknowledged. Right away.」
The vassal hurriedly left the office. The feudal lord watched that while making a large sigh.
「I have a bad premonition……」
That whisper melted into empty air and vanished.
AN: Thank you very much for reading this every time.
Thank you very much too for the thoughts, opinions, and reports about misspelling and omitted words.
