285 – Waiting for something new

After Lear and Leah leave. Kyle and his crew go right back… Didn’t lose

Since they have come all the way to the warm southern sea, the conclusion of the women is to take a break and go.

Because there was an unfortunate incident the other day, the opinion to do so was even stronger.

“Kyle. Can Kyle take a break, too?”

Elgar, who united the will of the women, smiled and asked.

Kyle knew roughly what rest meant.

Don’t be too obsessed with training, at least for a day or two.

I don’t want to blow a candle there. After all, as time goes on, it will become more difficult.

I wondered if it would be okay to be a little loose.

Of course, I was thinking of loosening the loose things just a little bit.

“I will run the basic routine, so you know.”

The maximum Kyle can yield. Thanks to this, Tisha, Elgar, and the saintess cheered.

The princess muttered, ‘Is this something to be happy about?’

“Come on! Then, in the order we decided earlier!”

The order you decided earlier? What are you talking about all of a sudden?

She was trying to ask Kyle something, but she couldn’t do it.

He said he would go and get some sea breeze, and Elgar disappeared with the saint and princess.

In the meantime, the princess protested, saying ‘I can’t go!’, But she immediately ignored it.

There was only the nagging of the saintess, saying, ‘I promise you to keep it, princess!’

‘What is this again… What happened all of a sudden?’

Kyle, who was scratching his cheek, glanced sideways.

The other women disappeared in an instant, but only Tisha stayed still.

It feels a little artificial to see it as a coincidence.

“Isn’t this a coincidence?”

“Well? It happened so suddenly, isn’t it a coincidence?”

You are acting, but your young skills are not good.

Or is it intentionally made so obvious?

After thinking about it for a while, Kyle decided to let it go.

“What did older brother and sister say earlier?”

“It was just a simple greeting. A really simple greeting.”

“… I don’t think so.”

“Hmm. Maybe not?”

Tisha holds out her hand, saying let’s walk together for a while.

After briefly looking at her outstretched hand, Kyle took her hand.

“Thanks, Kyle.”

“Suddenly what?”

“Everything. If it weren’t for you, I’d still be a nerd who pays attention to strange things. I couldn’t have dreamed of making a new beginning of magic in the empire like now.”

Magic isn’t everything. There is also something called witchcraft.

Each of them has their strengths and weaknesses, so I guess they can compete properly.

Tisha, who dreamed of her dream, is now working hard to realize it.

“No. Even if it wasn’t for me, Tisha would have done it all.”

Because she was also one of the confident protagonists.

She notices that because she is a woman made of people, even Ian, who has zero stuffiness.

She probably would have succeeded no matter what she did.

“But there was someone who believed in me. Because there was someone who gave me hope. That’s why I was able to come this far without resting and overcoming all the trials. And it’s all thanks to you.”

You can feel the warm warmth more intensely in your hands holding each other.

“Thanks to that, I was able to move forward really vigorously. And I also learned how to become stronger. Thanks to that, I stayed up all night for three nights without even moving!?”

“That… That’s not really a good thing. Sleep is a must.”

At Kyle’s words, Tisha said, ‘Yes. Thank you so much for that, too,’ she says.

“To worry about me like this. That warm word, telling you not to overdo it while running without rest. I was very grateful for that too. Kyle.”

Tisha stops her steps and stands in front of Kyle.

And she looks at Kyle standing in front of her with a little nervous look.

“In the future… will you? Always support me so that I can move forward without giving up. If I get tired, I tell them to cheer up and tell me that I can do better. That way, when I finally reached the place I wanted to reach. You said you had a hard time, would you hug me warmly like before?”

At that question, Kyle laughed. Instead of answering, she just laughed.

Because you’re talking too obvious. Definitely, sure. I will do that.

“We will continue to do so as we have in the past. I will do that by your side forever, Tisha.”

“… Thanks.”

Tisha held in her arms seemed to be grateful and she was very fortunate.

She didn’t leave Kyle’s arms for a while.

*

“Why are you taking it off? You just have to catch it.”

“….”

“Why did you move the knight there? Can’t we just step forward and press?”

She is now playing chess with Elgar, is she herself, is she or is she the princess.

Kyle was seriously confused.

“The Princess. I beg you, can you please be quiet?”

In the end, Kyle couldn’t stand it and smiled and asked for something that wasn’t a request.

She had been sitting next to me and talking about me all the time, and she was going crazy.

‘It’s not even at the level of training! A skill that only knows the basic rules of chess!’

I never thought Kyle could play chess worse than he did.

She only knows the basic rules for moving pieces, and has no intention of reading the opponent’s moves.

If she did as the princess asked, she would have lost all her belongings long ago.

But, just like all people who interfere in other people’s games.

She was the princess, and she had no idea that she was interfering.

Rather, she only appealed her own assertion more and more strongly.

Kyle looked at her saintess as if she thought she couldn’t do it anymore.

With earnest eyes asking what the princess should do.

Then, the saintess vigorously nodded her head and grabbed the princess’s hand.

“Right now, her sister Elgar and brother Kyle are doing it! This is a hindrance, Princess!”

“Why should I do this? Am I just stating my opinion?”

“We call that a lesson, and there are no brothers and sisters who like it!”

You are right, saintess! Ah yes, you are right!

“Sister Tisha!”

“Yes, yes?”

“Please hold the other hand. For the sake of a fair match, I must bring out the princess!”

At the saintess’s words, Tisha asked involuntarily, ‘Are we us?’

No matter how much exercise you do, your body has become a bit toned.

The princess is in the top 10 of the empire. Even if a truck of herself and her saints come to her, she is no match.

Are you going to bring out such a princess? Is that really possible?

‘… This is how it works.’

Contrary to expectations, she was just a princess who was easily taken away.

“Brother Kyle! You must win!”

The powerful saintess cheers and Tisha looks a bit flustered.

And with the grumbling princess behind, Kyle focused on chess again.

Of course, Elgar was never an easy opponent.

Considering that Kyle’s chess skills aren’t bad.

The Elgar who was dealing with him was at least more than that.

‘I think this is going to be a bit difficult.’

After seeing the whole situation once, Kyle touched his chin.

It was twisted too much. He’s dragging on for a while, but I can see the limit.

The absurd loss of equipment in the beginning was too great.

Snow ball seems to mean this.

He even briefly thought about giving up, but immediately shook his head.

Give up. At least he overcame the hellish John Nassen training.

Do you give up without even seeing the game in front of just using your brain?

We’ll go all the way. Hit and run and fight until victory or defeat is decided.

“… That’s it.”

“Yes, that’s it.”

After another time passed like that, the match finally came.

Although it was close, Elgar’s victory. I couldn’t overcome the disadvantages of the beginning.

“You have worked hard, Mr. Elgar.”

“Kyle too. More than that, it’s really good. I didn’t expect it to be like this.”

In the beginning, Kyle stopped me a lot. So I thought she would win easily.

But she didn’t give up the fight as she continued wasting time.

As a result, Elgar lost her concentration and lost several of her items.

“The same goes for numbers in chess, and the same for not giving up until the end.”

“What? I lost anyway.”

“But it was a really good fight. I learned a lot thanks to you. Maybe this is one of the strategies for diplomacy that my father talked about.”

Why did a diplomatic strategy come out of nowhere while playing chess?

Elgar smiles as Kyle blinks her eyes.

“In this way, even if it is a losing battle, I will ruin everything you drew. If you threaten the other person. No matter how certain an opponent is, won’t they back down a bit?”

Phud, he smiles and organizes the items.

What are you talking about? Kyle, who tilted his head, began to clean up the property as well.

“Kyle.”

“Yes, Miss Elga.”

“I’ll be honest.”

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

She stopped her hand that was carrying her utensils and looked at Elgar.

I thought he was joking, but his expression was quite serious.

“I like you, but I absolutely do not like you purely rationally. I will be the owner of Littorio. Of course, there are things I chose for my family. Therefore….”

“It is not pure love. After all, this is it, right?”

As Kyle summed it up in one go, Elgar smiled bitterly.

I was expecting it. Rather, it is too obvious.

Is there a case where only pure love can lead in aristocratic society?

In the end, love and marriage are all connected to the extension of politics.

“What is new now? We already understood that part a long time ago.”

“Yes. Yes. I’ve said it before, and I’m sure you felt it again… I wanted to say it one more time.”

“Why? Do you even feel guilty?”

“… There is that too. And… When I see Saint Tishana, I feel remorse for nothing.”

As if there was nothing more to hear, I lightly tapped Elgar on the forehead.

“Ouch?”

“Rather, it would have been even weirder if I had said the words ‘because I love you purely. The Elgar-sama I know is not such an emotional person.”

“… I too am emotional sometimes. Don’t get me wrong.”

“Yes. Absolutely.”

Remove all of her pieces and cover her chessboard.

“But, you don’t like me at all, do you?”

“Of course. So, what I just said is that ‘there are reasons for this and that’, but that absolutely can’t be the main reason….”

I pretend not to, but the urgent voice cannot be hidden and is revealed.

Thanks to that, Kyle laughed loudly and Elgar made her cry.

“Cee. I don’t know why my image of a cold and rational princess is ruined if I keep standing in front of you.”

“Really? I guess I should know.”

As she sneakily grabbed Elgar’s hand, her face turned red.

In her eyes, you can feel the question ‘Why, why are you like this?’.

“Exactly.”

“Yes, yes?”

“That’s why.”

Because I like it. Me too, you too.
