After being traumatized, I came to one truth.
Yes, I should get over it.
If I accept that I am an old man, an erotic old man, and a lover, then there is nothing to worry about.
Even my MID(mind) is growing!
"So it's back."
“You're up early, ....... You were cute when you were depressed."
“Huh, Iris, you're prettier than I am!”
“...... still in disrepair?”
I'm fine.
I have friends who say they love me even though I'm like this!
“Um, ...... Master?”
"Hmm? What's wrong, Wendy?"
“Why are you hugging Shiro so tight?”
“Because if I don't, she's going to break down!”
If I don't hang on to something, the damage is going to accumulate and come to my legs!
“Shiro is a useful person. You can do whatever you want, okay?”
"Nnnn! Shiro!”
"Oh, um, I can do it then. ......?”
"Later! I'll cuddle you a lot later!"
Because it's hard to cuddle with her because she's occupying my lap right now.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a little bit of a cuddle!
“Whatever. You should watch the next match.”
“Hmm? The next match against Aina and her friends?"
"That's right. One of the favorites to win the tournament, the elite of the Knights Order."
"Heh. ......"
Come to think of it, all I've seen is the adventurers' matches.
I haven't seen any of the knights in this country, so I'm going to take a look at them.
"Hey, hold me up."
"Can I squeeze you both?"
“No problem. It is the duty of royalty to comfort a wounded subject."
I wonder when I became Iris's vassal.
I'm not sure what to expect.
The warmth of people is very important.
“Now, you people should watch closely. Your next opponent can seriously injure you if you're not careful.”
Iris, still in my arms, made serious threats in her voice to Aina and the others.
"Is there someone you know, Iris?"
I don't have the impression that she knows much about such things.
“Of course, there is no one in the capital who doesn't know about them."
"To that extent ......"
I guess they are just called the favorites for the winner.
The composition is one shield-bearer with heavy equipment, one man with a mace with light equipment, and one wizard-like woman.
In terms of balance, I guess they are mainly defensive?
But right now, the man with the mace seems to be fighting in the front row, while the shield-bearer is protecting the wizard.
As far as I can see, they're certainly strong, but I don't get the impression that they're as strong as they say they are. ......
Oh, the guy with the mace knocked one of them out of the field.
"The opponent is a little poor and not helpful for reference. Well, the more one wins, the stronger one's opponents appear, so I guess they won't show their hand yet......."
“Well, ......, every one of them is just as good as the next."
“Well, they're ...... a bit preferential when it comes to giving out information.”
“Yes, that's right. I want to fight fair and square."
Almost as soon as Aina said it, there were only three people in the ring.
The man with the mace finally defeated all three of them by himself.
The plan may have been for all three men to defeat the man with the mace, but instead, they all fell out of the ring.
'The match was over! Our 'Guardians,' the elite of the Third Order, have won!'
The mace man from “Guardian,” the winning candidate that Iris mentions, raises his hand and smiles as if responding to the audience.
He may be about the same age, but he's a refreshingly good-looking guy.
I bet that guy is not called an old man. ...... The other two guys seem to only raise their arms lightly or wave a small hand.
“......, I feel stronger than ever before.”
“It's your imagination.”
"No, He's better looking."
"Shiro! I'll buy you anything you want later!"
"...... are you fine with it, guardian?"
It's okay!
Peace of mind comes first!
If you mess with me too much, I'll not pay attention to you.
Ha! I'm just a kid anyway!
"Well, I like you better."
"......oh, oh"
I didn't expect such a young girl to use the technique of dropping and then raising.
It's frustrating, but the vice captain probably felt the same way.
If she add carefree smile to the mix, she'll most likely end up falling.
"What is it? Are you embarrassed? Ice cream is fine as a reward. If it's vague love, I don't want it."
“Ah, yes, yes. Ice cream. I'll make some more tomorrow."
“Mmm. Love that gives something in return is good."
I don't want to admit that's love......
But actually, it's amazing how people can say that they don't want anything in return for their love.
I think it's human nature to want people to love if they love, and to want people to be kind if they are kind.
It may be somewhat naive, but I think it's a natural thing to do.
"Ice cream, ice cream!"
Iris seems to be excited, if you like this to that extent, I will made as much as she want.
It is not my fault if she get stomachache.
“Next will be the Knights. I need to refocus my energy."
“Yes, we must. It can't be the same as usual."
“Mage seem to be a nuisance. I'd like to defeat her as soon as possible, but it's not going to work out that way. ......"
Aina and her team look serious and are already thinking about the next match.
That's right. The next match is the semi-finals, so to speak.
If they win this game, they will be in the finals.
"Speaking of which, is Lord betting money on us?"
"Of course I am. I bet the same 10 million Nors as Shiro."
“Well, if you're betting on ......, we must be even more enthusiastic.”
"Don't worry about it too much, okay?"
The team competition is a high stakes bet with a high payout just to win first place.
I bet that even though I bet on Shiro, I couldn't afford not to bet on Aina and her team, and I didn't want them to get so worked up about it that they got seriously hurt. ......
“It won't work that way. We have our lord's precious money at stake for us.”
"Yes, that's right! We will win!"
Aina is full of energy and Renge is heavy-headed.
For my part, I'm fine as long as everyone comes home safe and sound. ......
“If that's the case, I'll put them up."
“Yes, I think so. I'll try to go full throttle from the beginning."
“We should also think about a strategy. Lord, I'm going out a little early."
“Oh, sure. Really, don't do anything reckless. ......"
"Yes."
"Okay."
"Yeah."
Aina and the other two only replied and walked straight to the waiting room.
"You ...... worry a lot, don't you?”
"It's only natural. ......"
“Hmmm,....... You're kind, but ...... it's nothing."
I don't know.
I don't feel like it's a compliment.
-Red Line SIDE-
“Hey, what did you think of Lord just now?”
“What do you mean, I thought he was worried about us."
"I know. ....... Concerned, he mean."
"What is he trying to say, ......?"
I'm not sure whether to say it or not.
This is my assumption, but I've been wondering if it's okay to say this and if it's really okay.
“...... ‘expect’, you mean not?”
“...... yeah.”
“He still doesn't trust us.”
I see, I knew you two felt it too.
I think he trusts us.
However, if asked if he trusted us, he didn't think so.
"I guess you could say ...... there's a bit of a wall between us. ......"
“You mean to tell me we're not as close as Shiro and Wendy? I understand that."
Yes, I know.
I think the feelings I feel from the Lord are not favoritism.
There are a lot of sexual harassment, but it's not like Wendy is actually loved.
In fact, Aina said she wasn't loved even though she was in the same room with him.
"That's why we're going to show our master how good we are in this tournament, isn't it?
"Right. If we perform well, our master will need us from now on."
"Yes, that's right. If we show our good side,...... I'm sure we can stay by the Lord's side for a long time,.......”
We are criminal slaves.
And maybe that's where the Lord is stuck.
Maybe he thinks that because we are criminal slaves, we adore the Lord out of guilt.
But I was the cause of all that happened.
I feel it was only natural that I became a criminal slave, and I still regret what I did at that time.
I also feel really sorry that I got Aina and Renge involved.
Even so, the Lord and Aina and the others do not blame me, and they treat me as kindly as before.
Besides, Lord was also hesitant to make us slaves.
That's why I think that the kindness from the Lord may be a sign that he is taking care of us. ......
“I'm sorry ....... If I hadn't done something weird, things might have been more normal. ......”
"Solte, as it turns out, I was able to stay by my lord's side and I don't care about anything.”
“I only did violence on my own, and I'm rather sorry that I brought the two of you into it. ......"
"No, it's because I sent Renge a strange letter. ......"
Renge only acted with us in mind.
It will be me who will be the source of all this.
"Can't we stop being so gloomy? It is true that we are closer to Lord than we were then. That is a good thing. If I can just take one more big step, I'll be fine."
"That's right! If you are not excited before the game, you will lose, right? When we win the tournament, there will be a winner's commentary, and then the three of us can boldly confess our feelings to each other. "
“Yes. ...... I know, right? Ok, that's not good. I need to regain my spirit! I'm going to go ahead and get some exercise!"
Forcing my body to cheer me up, I left the room to hide the tears that were trying to flow down and rushed to the training hall for competitors.
If I didn't, I would not be able to stop at the kindness of the two of them.
"...... looks like the wounds are deeper than I thought."
"That's right. Ahhhhhh,......, it's Maiden Solte-tan.”
“Fufu, she is the one who was the first to open up to Lord."
“That's unexpected, isn't it? Then, for the sake of Solte and for our own sake, we're going to put our best effort into it."
"We can't win half-heartedly. ...... Our opponent is Guardian."
“The most powerful force in the kingdom, a living fortress that can't get ahead of them in a battle of retreat, you know."
They slowly follow after Solte with motivation and fighting spirit.
Hoping that their precious companion would stop crying.
