My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

Many of those who returned from the mission were injured. Some of them needed long-term medical treatment, and it was fortunate that no one died.

And each said that the result was Harold’s life-threatening result.

According to Yuno, Harold challenged the Major General of the Imperial Army with a full-blown wound to escape them. Upon hearing that, Erica was immediately urged to come to Harold.

I want to confirm that I am safe with my own eyes. And I want to express my gratitude.

Harold wouldn’t want that. It may only feel annoying.

Still, I just wanted to express my gratitude for saving Yunho and other Sumeragi humans.

But we can’t put it into action right away.

Only those who are at the scene at this time know that Harold was seriously injured in this mission. It’s not unnatural for Erica to go out to confirm Harold’s safety, but at the earliest, after the Knights have returned to the royal capital.

Going all the way to the Knights on an expedition is like sowing the seeds of suspicion.

That’s why Erica decided to head for the royal capital, where he waited for Harold’s return.

I made that decision and arrived at the royal capital a month ago. Two weeks have already passed since the Knights returned to the royal capital after the expedition.

“… I may not be able to meet you today”

Erica overflows with a painful look.

Yuno, who stands beside him, had a soft smile in his shadow. Since he was relatively lightly injured, he continues to accompany Erica, but now both the master and the servant are feeling down.

Information that the Knights had returned from the expedition became public, and from that day Erica offered to visit the Knights’ headquarters every day to meet with Harold. No permission was given. Erica thought it was, but she seemed to be alive because of the way she spoke.

I’m relieved about that, but only time passes without revealing the reason for the abandonment of the visit.

At the time of the expedition, Harold was wearing the military uniform of the Sarrian Empire. Yunho speculated that this might have been a nuisance to the Knights.

If Harold, who is a human being in the kingdom and belongs to the Knights, is wearing the military uniform of the empire, it is unavoidable to be suspected even if it is unfounded. Thing.

Perhaps it takes time to prove your innocence.

Thinking of Harold’s anguish, Erica visited the Knights Headquarters today as well.

“Did you come again …”

Looking at Erica and his attendant Yunho, the soldiers at the gate Make a disgusted face.

Every day for two weeks, I’m begged to see Harold at a glance. It won’t go down for a long time, but it will be annoying.

Sorry for that, Erica bows and tells her the matter.

“Good mood, Mr. Lowry. Would you like to see Harold?”

“Huh … what? I can’t allow you to visit him again. “

I paid in advance today.

It would be inconvenient for Harold to overdo it here. Above all, he, Lowry, also has a work position.

However, a man who pinches his mouth from the side appears when he tries to withdraw quietly.

“Oh, what’s the matter?” Come closer.

“Cody? What is it for?”

“No, it seems that Lowry is bullying a bad girl … … ”

” I’m definitely not doing that! “

” Joke “

A man called Cody laughs.

Looking at such an exchange, Erica observes whether he is Harold’s superior. The facial expressions, clothes, and atmosphere are all loose.

Although he was hiding his face, he is also a person to watch out for because he is having a conversation with Yuno, but he does not seem to be aware of it so far. Yuno also said that it’s unlikely that he would get caught unless he spoke in front of him, so it seems okay if he doesn’t have to be so careful.

When I was thinking about that, Cody turned to Erica with a break in the conversation with Lowry.

And I say something unexpected.

“Let’s go”

With that said, Cody points to the Knights Headquarters. That means they were allowed to enter.

“Hey Cody!”

“Is it okay?”

“Mot Of course, you’re Harold’s fiancée, right? “

” From a standpoint, that’s the relationship. Why are you doing that? “

“I’m Harold’s boss, and I’m proud that he also has a proud girlfriend–”

“Excuse me, but it’s a lie.” “Isn’t it?”

“Ah, yes”

Erica broke the story of Cody’s Yotaro. It’s not bad faith, but I don’t think Harold will hear such a thing.

Cody, who was interrupted by words, obediently admitted his lie.

“But it’s true that he’s his boss, so why don’t you talk a lot? If you have something to ask”

“I’m sorry for your words, Mr. Cody”

I understand that Erica knows that too, so I don’t have to worry about it. Lowry seems to have decided to pretend to be irrelevant, saying, “If something happens, take responsibility for yourself.”

In this way, Erica and Yunho were taken to Cody as they were and passed to the drawing room, which seems to be for visitors. It’s been more than enough for him to leave, saying, “I’ll prepare tea, so wait.”

I sat down on a chair and was wondering if I would be back soon, and the door of the room was knocked.

And when I tried to reply, I heard the voice of an unexpected person from the other side of the door.

“I’ll enter”

The long-awaited voice of the Lord became stiff as soon as he saw Erica. .. He seems to be calm and calm, and his facial expression and attitude are unexpectedly impatient.

“I heard you were injured, but it looks fine, Mr. Harold”

“Huh, sorry. It was. “

The irony that flies as soon as the rigidity recovers. As usual.

If anything, it seems to be better than when I last exchanged words at Summeragi’s mansion.

“There is no demise”

“Hmm, well. What is it for?”

Harold sits face-to-face with Erica. It would be good just because the heel wasn’t returned.

I corrected my posture again and told him that the tone of my voice was slightly lowered so that I could not hear it outside.

“Confirm your safety and thank you for this matter”

Gaze at Yunho with a sideways glance. Yunho silently bowed his head.

Harold, who seems to have seen everything, sighed.

“I can’t go down …”

“I’m sorry. I was aware of the inconvenience, but I really wanted to meet and tell you.

“…”

Harold is just silent.

Both worry and gratitude are Erica’s selfishness. Harold doesn’t have the right to receive it, and I don’t think he will.

That’s fine. Just seeing Harold’s energetic appearance makes me feel that it was worth it to come to the royal capital.

I didn’t want to bother Harold, but I gave priority to my feelings. So I’m complacent and I’m not taken care of if Harold is so happy that he’s just listening to me and soaring.

While I’m happy, I’m depressed when I’m still immature as a person who can support Harold.

“Is that the only story?”

“No, no, that … nothing”

I tried to reflexively hold back Harold who had stood up, but I stopped it. There is no more word for Erica to Harold now.

Erica himself thought so.

I managed to endure the fact that I was about to look down, and I kept my eyes on Harold. Don’t run away from the existence you’re chasing, the distance behind you.

“If so, I’ll round it up. I’m not free enough to be ready for you.”

“Take precious time Thank you for your support. “

” If you know it, don’t bother me. = “L148″> “Yes, that’s right … eh?”

Next? Does that mean I can come to see Harold again?

Why? Should I have been trying to keep myself away?

With just one word from Harold, Erica’s thoughts are extremely confusing. I wasn’t happy when I was wondering or spewing out.

Just as if you knew Erica’s feelings, let’s get rid of all the doubts.

Passing each other, Harold’s hand touched Erica’s head. The palm of the right hand, which was just lightly placed on it, rather than being stroked.

The hands I touched for the first time were very warm.

“Your scolding was a little helpful. I’ll praise you-Erica”

Someone who turned to Harold in the mansion A prayer to rely on. I want you to be like Harold.

I wonder if such feelings helped him even a little.

Harold leaves the drawing room, regardless of Erica’s inability to return. I returned to myself with a bang and the sound of the door closing.

“… What’s my name now? …!”

I hit the bell with the momentum that my heart was about to explode. The body temperature rises so much that I think steam may come out of my head.

Harold’s hand touched it. He touched Erica from himself.

He called me for the first time. Erica, not you.

Erica crouched on the spot and turned her face down, holding her mouth with both hands.

It’s not something that even Yunho, who is like an older sister, can show to the public. Only the face where tears of joy run down the cheeks, which is dyed redder than the sunset.

◇

“I’ve met you for a long time, so I wish I could be more flirty. I hate early guys?”

>

It was Cody, the mastermind, who was waiting for Harold, who left Erica quickly.

Say something like that without being afraid.

Harold is about the same age as Cody mentally, but physically he is completely a child. It’s not the bottom story that hits such a partner.

Instead, I tried to kick up my crotch, but unfortunately I was prevented at the last minute.

“Your guide? Don’t do extra things”

“Oh, do you speak normally? It’s ridiculous. For the past two weeks, Erica has been asking for a meeting with you in front of the gate. I’m not sane. “

Two weeks has been around since the Harold expeditionary force returned. It’s safe to say that it’s pre-built, but it’s Erica that I’m going to do that to thank you.

If humans in the world become like Erica, the world will surely be filled with charity. It’s also a world where Harold’s chances of dying are likely to jump.

“I can’t see such Erica-chan …”

“Shut up. “Hey, don’t take me out with it.”

“That’s it, but today’s decision will come down.”

“That’s because I said it now”

This time, I was brilliantly hesitated even though I had a high kick aimed at the face.

Harold slaps his tongue.

“Tell me about such important things in advance, stupid”

“A real man without such crispness” I explained it properly at the council, and defeated the Major General of the Empire alone. Above all, Harold was commuted because the number of casualties of the Knights was significantly reduced. “

Isn’t there even an award? Cody is so easy.

Harold, on the other hand, seemed like a flag statement.

(Don’t be stupid, that line is a flag that hasn’t been completely commuted–)

At the moment, the flag was set with an amazing recovery rate.

I was suddenly called from behind.

“Hey, you”

“… Who are you?”

“I Is a member of the council. Are you sure you are Harold Stokes? “

” Oh “

” … under house arrest I heard that it is. “

” It’s for house arrest. I’ll be back soon. “

” No, it’s not necessary. “

p>

The man in the council told Harold, who was about to turn back in the corridor he came to.

Then, take out the parchment tied to the cylinder with a string from the bosom, open it so that Harold can be seen easily, and then stick it out.

What was described there was a desperate situation.

“You, Harold Stokes. He was accused of being a spy in another country, and he was punished as a traitor who killed the lives of his companions who were supposed to have been saved, without knowingly reporting the attacks of the Imperial Army. “

“This is the official decision of the council. The deadline is one week later. Until the day, I will be detained in the prison in the basement of the council. Come.”

“> Beyond the big mountains, an oversized death flag awaits again.
