167 Episode 60: The Way of Time Is Each Person (1/2)

One of the anxieties I had in Filwach ended up being told that Yufi wasn't there, and that talking to your father and mother wasn't what I thought after all.

I know it's the right thing to do. As my fathers say, it's not good for me to put out too much. Because if you do poorly, I could be festived as an absolute symbol just like the Spirit.

With His Royal Highness King Anisphere, people might stop thinking about walking on their own. There is a precedent because, even if you think too much, this country was actually solidified in the Spirit Faith.

So there's nothing I can do. If I could, I would be about twisting my head for the development of magic in a magic city.

So, if we're done talking, I was thinking about going back to the City of Magic, and Navre, who revealed Schnelvint in the Knights, was caught by the Kingsguard Knights, and then Gakun was also supposed to reveal Flamzele, and they were both targeted for the attention of the Kingsguard Knights.

So I also decided to delay my return to the City of Magic by a day if I had no choice but to laugh bitterly at the head of the Sprout Knights if I could at least stay for one day.

Let Charne take the day off, too, and I stretch my feathers out of the palace. It's been a long time since I've spent time alone in my own room, as there's no Uffi either. This used to be my normal life.

Then I heard a knock on the door and I looked up.

”Who?”

”Excuse me, Master Anisphere. Ilia.”

”Ilia?”

It was Ilia who knocked. When I open the door, did you come straight after work, the outfit remains a maid's outfit?

”What's going on? Anything wrong?

”No, because I've had a paragraph of work. I was just wondering if you had anything to offer me.”

”Heh heh, no tension without Raini?

”... no one said that”

That's what Ilia said when she asked him to tease her. I went to inspect the border, Yufi, but it seems that the only offering is a few escorts, including Raini. I think you should keep the number of people to a minimum if you're going to meet with Al, and I don't think there's any danger looming over Uffi that easily.

I trust you about Yufi. Still makes me anxious, is it because that chimera I met in Filwach goes past my brain? I'm sure Uffi worried about that, too, and maybe he went to find out about the Cambus kingdom where he might be involved.

”Raini has done a fine job without me anymore.... because I was also thinking it was time to leave my current position”

”Huh? You mean quit headed by an out-of-house samurai?

I turned my eyes round to words I never thought I would. To be clear, Ilia is like being on a birth course right now.

Yet it was surprising, or just surprising, that I was thinking of quitting that position.

”Yep. … Again, there is no tension without Master Anisphere”

Ilia said that to me with a slight smile on her face. I think the look on Ilia's face has also increased since I started dating Raini. I get embarrassed by that soft look and move my mouth slightly.

I think standing up is what it is, so I suggest you take a seat in Ilia. Ilia sits in my opposite seat and gets dressed across the street.

”But even if Ilia quits, is it okay to leave the palace?

”I've had enough time to raise a successor. Besides, Anisphere is away from the palace, and when Raini is gone, it's not worth it...”

I was convinced by Ilia's words. Although Ilia is proud of her work, her number one priority is to serve whoever she wants to serve.

Although I and Uffi had entrusted their work as out-of-house lead samurai because they believed in Ilya, the care of Uffi was basically done by Raini, and Ilya should have stayed away from the kind of work that she would take the initiative and devote herself to people, even if she worked as a supervisor.

I finally understood that this seemed to fit Ilia's hopes and didn't fit subtly.

”I also come back out of the palace once a week...”

So I can understand Ilia's feeling that there is no tension. Ilia doesn't want to stand on people anything, she just wants to be a squire. I guess that means that the current position was not the main expectation for Ilia.

”My successor grew up, and it's a good separation, so I thought I'd think of something ahead of me.”

”Earlier?

”Yep. How will you live with Raini in the future? 'Cause I'm about to have a good year.”

I blink my eyes a few times at Ilia for squeaking with my hands on my chest. I mean, I'm not even thirty years old yet.

But I'm blurry to think that it's like getting all sorts of anxiety in my body when I get closer to thirty.

”No, isn't it too soon to retire that you did that?

”I guess that's because there's so much I want to accomplish for Master Anisphere. … I feel satisfied with what I can do as a samurai”

”... Really?

”Yep. Master Anisphere has now become a fine lord, and Raini is proud to be a samurai and secretary. The new samurai in the outhouse also think I was raised for myself. That's why I thought about it. I don't know what to do.”

”Ahead...”

Pompous and I squeal. Sure, Ilia's right, maybe all I can't think about is retiring because there are so many things I want to do and accomplish.
