Chapter 97
After breaking the curse, I went to sleep just after returning from the altar to the hall with the throne, probably because of fatigue .
Next thing I woke up, it was the sixth night .
When I woke up, there was Amako who looked into my face anxiously by the bed, and Arc-san and Neah who were sitting a little away .
Apparently, after that, Amako and my friends seemed to be allowed to enter the castle, and they kept watching me in the room where I was sleeping .
Im glad that breaking the bell doesnt seem to be a crime .
However, Amako started preaching: Youre too crazy, or Dont be overconfident, no matter how sturdy you are .
Certainly I realized that I had done a lot this time, so I obediently accepted her words and firmly apologized to Amako and Arc-san .
Really, I owe it to you so much that I couldnt thank you enough .
I did it on my own accord .
We were in the throne hall the morning after waking up .
The wall I broke was hidden by a cloth, and Lucas-sama was sitting on the throne in front of it, with Eva next to him .
The reason we are here is because we are departing from Samaria today to the next country the floating city of Mialark .
Amako and Arkc-san lined up on both sides of me, and wondering whether shes bored or something, Neah was sleeping on my shoulder as an ow .
Is Lucas-sama going to face difficulty in the future?
I would like to say that the people who suffer from the curse will be gone and thus, a happy end, but it was not the case that the whole curse was destroyed by breaking the big curse .
The Fegnis family and those who were inspired by it For example, unless you manage the knights of Fegnis subordinates, similar things may repeat .
Hahaha, this is much easier than ever . I caught Fegnis, who was the chief curse keeper, and his knights . After that, roast the people in a potato-growing ceremony . .
Fegnis What is he doing now?
A person who relied so much on curses .
What kind of reaction will he take when he learns that it was destroyed?
He was like a shell, saying that the curse had been destroyed, and, terribly, knowing that every cause was his countless souls of his ancestors . He was shocked and has been imprisoned in the dungeon now, but I think only time will tell for him to recover .
Is that so
Lucas-sama is having it hard too .
The person who he has trusted for many years must be treated as a traitor who has deceived himself overnight .
Lets change the story . Regarding the letter, Samaria will be cooperating with the Kingdom of Lingle, as I said at the beginning . Together we will protect the continent from the Demon King .
Thank you!
Somehow I felt happier than when I first received the letter .
Maybe because we knew Lucas-samas personality in the last seven days, or was I sincerely pleased with his sincere words?
Either way, I was able to successfully fulfill one of my roles .
Usato, thanks to you I havent lost Eva . If you werent there, maybe I would have been abandoned and cast my duties as king . Thank you very much .
Ive done what I want to do
I didnt seek anything in return .
I really did what I wanted to do .
Dont be humble, its all on you . Hhhmm, yeah, thats what I want . Yeah, I can rest assured if its you .
Leave what?
I wonder what is this uneasy feeling Im getting
What does he mean by leaving it to me
Lucas-sama, who nodded all the while, relaxed his shoulders and looked at me after looking at Eva .
So Usato, this is the main subject
Thank you for the last seven days . Im going to travel soon, so Ill see
I knew it .
I thought that I was amazing .
When I sensed a crisis in various ways, I smiled and smiled and bowed back .
Amako and Arc-san who were next to me looked at me in puzzlement, but now I was in a hurry so that I could not answer their questions .
However, maybe Lucas-sama was expecting that, he snaps his fingers, and the maids stand in front of me .
No, Usato . You dont have to rush . Isnt it better to hear the story until the end?
In my world, there is a saying that time is money . That is, treat time as worth money .
Well, thats a good quote, but the story were going to talk about is well worth it .
I try to pass between the maids while explaining the proverbs that I remember, but the maids cut in before me with a smile .
What drives them so far?
If these people were knights, I could forcibly go ahead .
Tsk, as expected of Lucas-sama . He really has all sorts of countermeasures after knowing my personality!
Hey Usato . What happened?
Amako, please help me . If we lose this battle, it may turn out worse than being cursed .
What? What are you talking about?
Thats right . If you hear such a thing, youll tilt your head, isnt it?
When Amako tilted her head, Lucas-sama who came down the throne spoke to me .
Usato, I talked about pulling you into my country, but I wont do that .
Eh?Yes .
Oh, its different from what I expected?
Stopping his footsteps and turning to me, he smiles and raises his fist .
Isnt Usato going to be the son-in-law of Eva, and willingly following my footsteps?
.
Im sorry if what Im about to say is rude, but what on earth are you thinking!?
I used to be one of the knights . Dont worry about it . I usually manage politics with courage and charisma! Rather, Ill only allow someone to have her if they have such courage as you!
Isnt it illegal for the king to force someone!?
Hey, Im the proof in front of you .
His talk is getting stranger .
Why did you ask me to succeed after you, and the story jumped so much that I became confused .
Amako pulled the hem of my robe when I was muddy without knowing how to react .
Hey Usato . What do you mean? What the hell are you talking about? Explain properly .
Keep calm and be Amako
Im calm . Im really calm, This is my clamest moment of my life .
Amako looked up with no expression and I was too scared to say anything .
Ha ha ha . Youll do it right, Usato .
Arkc-san is just laughing .
Dont make it sound like its another persons affair I cant laugh because I feel like Im being pushed more and more .
Usato-san
E, Eva . Please tell them something too!? You would dislike having an engagement so suddenly, right!?
Does Usato-san hate me?
!?
Are you also taking advantage of this!?
I am even more confused when she asks me with a very uneasy look .
Honestly, Im happy by their goodwill, but in her case there are dangerous parts in various ways, so its too risky to accept it!
The sharp line of sight from Amako and the hopeful line of sight of Lucas-sama are only getting stronger .
But its alright .
Eh?
She entwined her fingers in front of her chest and smiled like a flower .
You dont have to mind me, my mind will not change .
Wont change?
What is this deja vu?
I will do my best until you like me . That is the solution .
Far from being solved, it seems that I will enter the labyrinth of the graveyard of life .
Rather than going around, it seems like a confession that looks like a man .
Actually, I want to accompany Usato-san on a trip, and I want to see various things together . But that is annoying for Usato-san . So, its goodbye for now . When we meet next time, I will also I want to touch various things that I havent touched until now, and to grow even more .
Her words and smile made me wonder what to do .
The memories of several days spent at the same place as her and various thoughts spin around .
Confused, I deeply bow to Eva who is smiling .
So, lets be friends!!
What is this confession from a guy and the girl refuses .
Her straightforward personality is not unpleasant .
However, as a result of considering the future development that I had been engaged with now and the mission I am now carrying out, I had no choice but to give such a chicken answer .
While I am self-deprecating as a cowardly guy, I also want to be just a suspension bridge effective distraction .
Yeah, its insane to suddenly get engaged . Its important to start with something small . If we have to start by being friends I dont mind .
What is she even saying?
It feels like a predator aiming for a prey .
Lucas-sama also murmured with a distant eye, Ah, after all it, she is Elizas child .
S-So anyways, we have to get going now!
Oh, wait a minute Usato!
After being unable to bear various things, I bowed deeply to Eva and Lucas-sama, and then, using a serious step, I passed through the maids gap and tried to get out of the throne quickly .
This is bad Lucas-sama!
However, before that, Eiri-san, the butler, enters the throne with a few sheets of paper from the entrance .
At that time, my shoulders hit him, probably because I was in a hurry, and the paper softly slipped from his hands and fell to my feet .
When I picked it up and tried to give it to Eiri-san, I saw a letter on the paper that was marked as big .
Wh- What the hell is thiiiiiisssssss!?
I raise a loud voice that is not like me, and hold on to the paper .
Amako and the others in the background see my anomaly, panicking and looking into the paper in my hands, and they become rigid like me .
The text that surprised us was
Refusing the princes courtship!? The rumored female hero wanted Usato, the healing magician!?
It was a support shot from a distance of Inugami-senpai .
Superbly, it helped accelerate my crisis .
What are you doing, senpai
What are you doing, senpai! Seriously?!
No matter how much you dont want to get married, why did you give my name!? I know this feeling because I am in the same situation!?
I can already see senpais face with a Tehepero in my mind .
And this is me!? What the hell is this!?
A portrait was drawn under the heading that was written as big .
However, it is the only thing that fits my hair style, and the bottom of the hair is shaped into a surprisingly beautiful shape . The hell is this, someone holding a rose, seems to make a hole in the wall because his nose is too sharp .
Moreover, even though its my trademark, the uniform is decorated with decorations that look like an aristocrat, and there are almost no prototypes left
If the leader or rescue squad sees this
Moreover, Nack is in the rescue squad now .
If he sees this as well .
My dignity as a teacher .
Rose will absolutely grin when she sees this .
Ah, ha ha ha ha
U, Usato, its okay . I like the current Usato more . This picture doesnt look ferocious at all, its just a human being .
Is Amako really following up with this?
I think that the one who drew me like a demon was the correct answer in a roundabout way .
Hoho, this is quite the development Eva, apparently youll have to defeat your rivals to get him .
Still, I will do my best!
Hahaha, thats the spirit! I will spare no cooperation .
Maybe Lucas-sama, who looked through the other piece of paper, escalated as if he received it from Eiri-san, in a form that demonstrates stupidity .
Hmm, you guys are noisyIm still tired, so dont make so much noise Hmm? Usato, what is that paper?
Mini healing magic bullet!
Bugyafu!?
Shooting healing magic bullets that hit Neahs forehead, it stunned her .
This is bad, I cant let her see this portrait of me .
I cant stay here anymore
I cant stand this anymore, time to run from the castle and escape from there .
From behind, Lucas-sama and Eva waving their hands with a bright smile and seeing us off . Im glad that they both smiled from the bottom of their heart, but the feelings of engagement and succession at the end made me feel like I was in a hurry .
What should I do now!
Usato! Neah is peeling off the white eyes and sticking to Usatos clothes, is she alright!? Hey!?
There are things I cant do even if I break a curse that lasted for hundreds of years with my friends .
I jumped out of the castle and looked up at the sky, and I realized it .
