My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

After Harold left, what was left in the hall was awkward air. Despite his disrespectful attitude, his swordsman was so powerful that no one could blame it.

Meanwhile, Erica saw the color in Harold’s eyes. It’s a deep, deep, color of despair.

Harold’s words. Inferring from his humanity and his words and deeds, the continuation of words is naturally derived.

――I don’t need a fiancé.

Probably he said this.

I can’t guess why I hesitated, but I felt that the despair reflected in those eyes was related.

“I’m sorry. I apologize for his disrespect.”

Itsuki bows to Berlioz and his wife. In response, the two replied that they didn’t have to worry.

“That’s okay. It’s my husband who made the insensitive talk. Rather, it’s the Aurelian who apologizes.”

“Um, I’m sure I wasn’t thinking about Road’s feelings. Maybe he already has a fixed partner?”

“That’s …”

Itsuki looks at Erica with a sideways glance while stagnating. From that state, Aurelian seemed to have guessed something.

“I’m sorry for you if Erica?”

Well, if you look at Itsuki’s reaction now, that’s right. It’s natural to think. They also know the story of a boy named Harold pushing Erica to break his engagement five years ago.

However, it’s just a story, and I don’t think that the young man I mentioned earlier is the same person as the boy in question. That is why I came to the conclusion that Lord may be a new fiancé.

It’s both right and wrong. And the answer Harold wants is the latter.

“Don’t worry. I and Lord are not in that relationship.”

So Erica replied. I haven’t seen Itsuki’s sad expression.

Still, Erica’s heart squeaked.

“Then, is there another person?”

“… I haven’t heard that kind of story. I have a long relationship with him, but I don’t want to talk about myself so much. “

Yes, I don’t know what a person named Harold really thinks. Of course, Erica and Itsuki have heard bad reviews about Harold, but neither of them believe it.

He is often misunderstood because of his words and deeds … rather than intentionally misunderstanding.

Stigmatized as a murderer to help a pair of parents and children, playing a hated role and helping Erica break her engagement without worrying about it. He bet his life and defeated the enemy in order to save many knights and the Holy Spirit. The result is the current situation.

Too unreasonable treatment. Still, there are many things he can prove innocent, but he doesn’t, he just accepts.

“You’re a mysterious person”

“Yes, but not a bad person. He’s for someone Because he is a person who can stand up and fight to protect people. “

” You’re a warrior right!> “I can’t stand in front of the road with my half-hearted ability. I’m …”

Aurelian gets excited again. Itsuki, who was well-arranged, began to talk about his fight with Harold.

The awkward air disperses as a result.

However, Erica’s chest remained a little uneasy.

Eyes that strongly reflect that despair. Harold has never seen such an eye.

At that time, Erica had a vision of Harold, who broke his knee in front of his destiny. Of course, it’s a hallucination. You may just be overly worried.

However, Erica knows that not only Harold’s strength, but also human-like weakness. He is strong because he always fights against his inner weaknesses and tramples on those weaknesses.

That is Harold’s way of life. Fight your weaknesses, fight evil, fight monsters, and fight the world.

Maybe even myself is an enemy to Harold. So is he looking for strength too much?

It is unusual to train for 10 hours a day from an early age. So Harold would have had to do that.

As if you were forced into your natural destiny.

(… it’s like “planted” to fight)

Intuitively, such words pass through Erica’s mind. rice field.

Harold’s fateful seeds are about to blossom, with the worst image of chills.

Deny. That shouldn’t happen.

I still came up with it, but the unpleasant image stuck to my head and didn’t come off.

I’m worried because I care so much about Harold and I don’t know much about him. I’m so worried because I don’t know what Harold thinks and feels.

If so, you should know. Even if Harold doesn’t want it, if he thinks it’s good for him, he should act without hesitation.

Even if the result is inconvenient for you.

◇

Harold jumped out after forgetting me, but he couldn’t wander around the wife of a stranger. I thought that even if I jumped out, I might get lost because I didn’t know the land, and in the end, while keeping a distance where Berlioz’s house could be seen, I put my elbows on the parapet of the overpass that straddles the waterway and looked into the water surface. board.

(I’ve done it …)

I used to often hear on TV “I’ve done it” It seems that the criminals’ fixed phrase statements can be understood. Of course, I regret and regret it.

When I made an excuse, I suddenly got confused by the “impossible emotions” that boiled up in me. I’ve been hated for eight years now, and I’m almost reflexively arguing that I’m my wife, who has been doing everything I can to break my engagement.

That means–

“Is that the case …!”

Cancel your thoughts with a moaning low voice.

That is definitely not a romantic feeling. Harold is also a young and healthy man. I’m just temporarily lost because I saw Erica sensational. So to speak, it is caused by physiological phenomena and sexual desire. I’m convinced that it must be.

But there was another problem. Without notice from Aurelian, he left without permission with an unfaithful attitude.

Aurelian is the Alliance Leader in the region, Itsuki says, even though he has a fault. The Berlioz family is probably better than the Harold family. Such a young man imitated such a lick. It’s no wonder that we’re banned from going in and out for the rest of our lives.

Then Itsuki’s request couldn’t be fulfilled and I don’t know what Justus would say.

I’m thinking of going to apologize for being calm, but it’s extremely difficult to express my gratitude. Rather, the probability of worsening is higher.

Harold wonders what to do.

“What are you doing in such a place?”

Turn around to a voice that you shouldn’t hear.

And the appearance of Erica in a kimono in a cityscape reminiscent of medieval Europe was somehow ukiyo-e away. The terrifyingly well-organized appearance may have spurred it.

I can’t read emotions from his face now, though he’s not expressionless, and Harold feels chilly.

“It’s my own way. What did you come to do?”

“You may be lost My brother “

” Don’t treat me like a child. It’s unpleasant. “

” I don’t want to be hit by me. ”

Well, that’s true. Since it’s Itsuki anyway, I can guess that he pushed Erica’s back with reason, saying, “If you comfort Harold now, it’s a good idea.” In that sense, she was pitiful because she was swayed more than Harold.

“If so, go back and report to your foolish brother. You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Where you want to do that” There is something I would like to ask Harold-sama. “

” What do you want to hear? “

I can think of it. Itsuki kept Harold’s existence secret from Erica.

It was natural to wonder why Harold was here. Originally, I should have explained it when I met each other, but because of Itsuki, that atmosphere and time disappeared.

A man who is good at creating troublesome things.

“Oh, you’re dressed like a young lady. Are you sightseeing?”

Suddenly, such a voice is between the two. Break into. The main voice is a man with tanned, dark skin and healthy, firm muscles. You can tell at a glance that you are a sailor by looking at your running shirt, three-quarter length trousers, sandals on your bare feet, and a bandana wrapped around your head.

At the same time, I could understand what he was calling for.

“I’m not going to board a ship”

A stop installed in a waterway. Unlike small boats for moving and transporting, a ship with simple decoration was moored there. The size and shape are not much different from the small boats around, but it has an atmosphere like a tour boat.

This sailor is probably the owner of that ship.

“Well, don’t say that. I’ll show you that she’s worth it.”

A sailor who doesn’t look angry. On the contrary, he misunderstood Harold and Erica as lovers.

It’s not strange from the perspective of a third party. The problem is that it’s a decent mine for each other.

Harold tries to leave the place, feeling annoyed by the sailor. It was an unexpected word that stopped me.

“That’s right. I’d like two people.”

I doubted my ears. If Erica rides that pleasure boat, you can just like it.

But she said they were two. In this situation, the two can only point to Harold and Erica.

“… I can’t see the maid?”

“Yuno is helping to set up the venue.”

Harold bet on a subtle probability, but what is it? I get a reply just like that. After all she seems to be trying to get on a small boat with Harold.

I really don’t know what Erica is thinking. If you just want to talk, you shouldn’t have to bother to board the ship. Harold’s mind gets confused when he can’t come up with a consistent answer.

Erica took Harold’s hand as if he had seen such a gap.

“Let’s go, Mr. Harold”

“Hey, what are you …!”

“If you don’t do this, you won’t be able to ride it?”

“It’s natural! Why am I … I’m okay, so let go!

“If you’re going to meet Harold-sama, it’s just right to be pretty aggressive,”

“Trust his words.” ”

” I haven’t done it. I just use it conveniently. “

The quality is even worse. If the older brother is the older brother, the younger sister is also the younger sister.

I judge that persuading in words is impossible, and if this happens, I will try to shake it off. But for some reason I can’t shake it off.

No matter how many times I try, my power runs away here and there. It’s like pushing your arms to the noren.

Erica, holding Harold’s left hand, answered such a mysterious phenomenon.

“Harold-sama, do you know” Aiki “? Aiki is one of the physical techniques, and in simple terms, it is a technique that deprives the other person of their physical freedom.”

Harold sweats cold on the word.

Erica, who speaks plainly, had a mysterious wonder. I’m a little scared.

(I know why there is Aikido in this world!)

Even if it exists with a hundred steps It’s strange that Erica can use Aikido.

There was no martial arts command in the original game Erica. The only physical attack is archery, and it should be a logistical support character that specializes in magic.

Why can I be like this Aikido master?

Apparently Erica has evolved beyond Harold’s expectations.

“No, the young lady is more rewarding. It’s a lot harder if the female is stronger? Do your best, the color man”

The sailor taps Harold’s back to comfort him, with a mixed expression of surprise and sympathy.

Very dissatisfied, but unable to shake Erica’s hand after all, Harold is “a man with a bad eye who screams while being pulled by a stunning beauty.” As a result, he is taken to a small boat while enjoying the shame of gathering curious eyes from the surroundings.

Harold had to think that the small boat was a ferry on the riverbank of Sagami.
