165 Episode 58: For A Choice You Won'T Regret
"Heh..."
I try to imagine Raini having no grasp and winning, but I don't get the image at all. As a decoy, the impression of Innocence Raini is too strong to imagine for someone named Tillis.
But I hear your face looks just like Raini's, and somehow I got the impression that you're a woman who's going to take a man by the hand. I wonder what the hell the real place was like, a guy named Tillis.
"But why are you telling me this story now?
"The truth that Tillis may have been a vampire is that Tillis can't figure it out any more than he is leaving the world. … but I heard from His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere and thought I had to talk to him."
"You mean to hear about Filwach?
"Yes, it was Filwach who met Tillis in the first place."
"Huh?"
Did Uncle Drags and Mr. Tillis meet in Filwach? I had a bad feeling about that fact running through my back for some reason.
"Tillis was a guy who didn't want to reveal his past. Then I was good at getting into people's circles and between them, but I didn't have a catch like Kasumi, and at the time I thought I was a clever woman standing around for a long time. Now I think maybe he was using the power of a vampire."
"... did you meet that Mr. Tillis in Filwach?
"Yep. However, I only said that I came from the east, not that I was born in Filwach.... Maybe he was born in the Kingdom of Cambus"
"The Kingdom of Cambus......"
The Kingdom of Cambus is a country to the east of the Kingdom of Palletia, beyond the mountain range. There is no active interaction because of the inhibition of rugged nature, but there is no national transportation at all.
It also remains unknown that it is a very small part of the Kambas Kingdom. That is because the Kingdom of Cambus is very clandestine and exclusive. So no one knows the reality of the Kingdom of Cambus.
There's nothing like coming in here, so I have a strong impression that the Kingdom of Cambus is a creepy country.
"How did you know Mr. Tillis was from the Kingdom of Cambus?
"Only once did Tillis slip her mouth about her hometown in a booze seat. He said his place was so boring and horrible at the same time. He said he was on the run because he was going to rot if he was there. I was impressed by the very self-derisive way he spoke, and I still remember him very well"
"Phew...?
Boring, horrible place...?
"But doesn't that necessarily mean the Kingdom of Cambus?
"Yes.... but Tillis said, horrible, Vampires and thoughtful and mysterious figures from the east, alien monsters who say they encountered Master Anis in Filwach and demons unlimited in proximity to people. Why don't you line up like this and the nasty codes will match?
"... Drugsburg"
I accidentally got a low voice. But the eyes of Uncle Drags staring at me remained straight.
"I've been wondering about it for a long time." Where in the world did the demons of the human form come from? How can you be human, something that has changed from monkey-like demons has settled in? That's what I think when I get older and settle down. "
"If you're gonna give me a representative example, it's an orga."
"Yes. Can't you think it's any stranger that demons close to people are running a nation than the actual example of a vampire has been confirmed?
"So what? Uncle Dragus... are you even trying to say that the Kingdom of Cambus is a country ruled by a human-shaped demon, a being that should be called subhuman?
"I won't say that much because there's no certainty, but if there's a vampire out there, isn't that a possible story?
... I can't deny what Uncle Drags said. In fact, if you have vampires, I think it's possible to take control of the country and run it as a country. In fact, Al Kun's rebellion has made this country very convincing because it was on the verge of being ruled by vampires.
We can assume here that it is both natural for the clandestine attitude of the Kingdom of Cambus to become exclusive when we consider it to be a state ruled by the subpeoples. Think that far, I'm struck by the feeling of my spine being frizzy.
"... you talk scary, Uncle Drags. You're gonna get goosebumps."
"All I'm saying is speculation. However, the Kingdom of Cambus has always remained silent. I hope that's not some kind of foretaste..."
"... I don't think so, but I'd have trouble getting out that easily on such a monster."
With my hands on my forehead, I exhale deeply. Then Uncle Drags smiled bitterly, too.
"It's a story that doesn't leave the realm of speculation. Just keep it in mind."
"Maybe you cared?
"Yep. Besides, I didn't want to regret it without talking... so I still think if Tillis had stepped into her more before she left."
"... but there isn't, is there?"
"Right."
Regretting doesn't make it possible to redo that regrettable event. So people just have to live with regret in their hearts. With that kind of prayer so we can do better next time.
"That's boring"
"It won't stay. … so please choose not to leave any regrets, as His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere is also well troubled"
"... Uncle Drags?
"You have a hand longer than a man, a leg faster than anyone, and a strong will. That's why I take responsibility, and I carry the lives of others. You can't just follow your dreams, your prayers to protect someone are difficult people included in your dreams."
To my assessment of Uncle Drags, I get a convoluted grin. My ear hurts, but I can't deny it.
Uncle Drags smiled after seeing my expression like that. That was a grin that, as an elderly man, unexpectedly made me feel safe.
"Don't carry it, don't think about it, I can't tell you. What you carry is so heavy and honorable. That's why if you thought you couldn't bear it alone, rely on it around you."
"... that's enough, I'm gonna be sweet."
"It's easy to say that using people well is also the job of those who stand up, but I also understand that His Royal Highness Sister Wang is not good at being able to follow people. So sweet, maybe it's just the right salt plum."
Uncle Drags speaks to me in straight words with a gentle grin.
"Try to worry well, think well, and not betray yourself. That will surely attract the best results. It must be our role to support you like that. People aren't always protected, are they?
"... my ear hurts"
I don't rely on my surroundings in the distance, even though it sounds like they say, but I think my ears hurt because I honestly admit it too.
Rely on me a little more, huh? I figured I should talk to someone about my opinions on that chemical......
"Huh? About that monster you ran into in Filwach, is that it?
Eventually, after worrying about it overnight, I decided to unveil it thoughtfully to the members of the Magic Bureau. The first thing I reacted to when I cut out the topic was gut.
"Yeah. I don't think there's such a monster gobbling on the boulder, but I was also curious that he was vampired, and I could just leave him like this..."
"Nothing... Isn't that Anise's job?
"Right. I think the problems that have arisen in Filwach should only be solved by local residents. And I've already reported it to Her Majesty the Queen, so you'll think about the response there."
"That's right, but come on... if there's another one like that, and that's what vampires do if they're lost, I'm worried."
Gakun and Navre frowned as troubled as I zeroed my honest mood. Charne is silent with a strange face, and Priscilla remains faceless and refrain.
It was Tilty who broke the air, which was followed by subtle silence. I haven't seemed interested since this topic started, but now I'm just a little grumpy with my nose.
"Ha. That's ridiculous, is that why you've been looking depressed lately? Totally stupid, Master Anis."
"... won't you tell me you're stupid again and again? Tilty."
"What's wrong with saying stupid to a fool? It won't be Mr. Anise's job, as the people who accompanied him say. Even if we leave the dead behind, it's not Lord Anise's fault. Although it would be the responsibility of knights and adventurers to protect the land. Did they tell you to help? It's not, is it? Then it's none of your business."
"I know that..."
"If you knew, you'd realize it was just a wagga mom, wouldn't you?
Wagamama. I'm just wondering if I can leave this anxiety behind. You had that thought on your face, and you've looked at me like Tilty was staring.
"I think I'm free to say Wagamama, and if you can take responsibility, you can do whatever you want. But that's not something you can take responsibility for."
"... Ugh..."
"You can do whatever you want if you want to make it even at the scene where you can't get out and not go around without you. Can you take responsibility for that? You can't take it, can you? Then that's not what you have to do. All right? Dear fool."
"Dear idiot!? Finally they stopped calling me by my name!?"
I try to appeal to Tilty to protest, but Tilty just snorts in a steady, clear way.
It was Tomas who put his arms around him and kept his mouth shut to take the field in.
"Dear Anis, you say that monster is a monster that you can't handle without being as powerful as Anis, right? That's not the kind of thing that comes out wheeling. Assuming you leave, Mr. Anis is in charge of this magical city, isn't he? You have a lot to do. Doesn't that mean you also take responsibility for fulfilling each of your duties?
"... I know that."
"Are you that scared? Someone could die out of their reach."
I breathe in the words thrown at me by Tomas, pulling my lips together. As I remained silent, Tomas continued his words after sighing.
"That kindness is a good place for Lady Anise, and that's all that was so difficult, wasn't it? The monster who showed up in Filwach. So I want to take action, I want to avoid things that would cost people their lives. I know how that feels."
"Yeah......"
"But if I give that instruction, it will be the responsibility of Master Anis. If you can take responsibility for yourself properly, as Lord Tilty says, that would also be Ali. You can think of as many reasons to attach them later as you can to convince them above. But really, that's Anis'... No, is that something that has to be Anis's?
I shake my head at Tomas' confirmatory question. I may not be able to handle it without me, but I don't think that's why I have to do it.
Even though I know it by my head, I can't think of it as the best way to do it.
"Don't move anything, I'm not saying. You know, there's someone you should just talk to before you move, right? Isn't it too late to talk to them?
"... Ufi or something?
"After that, it's for the King and the Queen Wang."
"... well."
I could only imagine a future preached with something similar. Still, I guess it's a lot better than not saying anything to sort your mind out, you know? I decided to think so.
"It's a corner, why don't you go to Wangdu tomorrow? What you're going to do here is a paragraph. The Devil's Sword of Gark and Navre is complete."
"So is that. I'm going to show it to the Knights of Sprout. Maybe I can come back."
Schnelvint in particular is Demon Sword No. 1 by artificial demon stones made for knights and adventurers.
It may be a good idea to ask the Sprout Knights Commander and the Kingsguard Knights for their opinions for future dissemination.
The fact that I was able to draw such a fun forecast for the future, and the fact that I was able to spit out a little inside, made me feel a little more comfortable.
