"Me?" Although I had been prepared, I still didn't expect that the first person to tell me to get married early would be Sister Tina. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes!" Sister Tina first served a small plate of red wine risotto to Gatus, who had been beside her with an embarrassed look, and after driving him away, she looked meaningfully at "Lacey" not far away, "Na, Sakura, what do you think about him?" ”

"Huh?! He? Again, I was amazed.

"Well, that's the bastard!" Sister Tina nodded, "Which one are you waiting for now?" ”

“……”

I know what Sister Tina means - am I looking forward to Lacey or Asa now?

"I ......"

"Sakura, you'll have to make a decision sooner!" Sister Tina smiled, "After all, you're almost seventeen years old this year, and this is the age when you should get married—"

"You're only sixteen, right?" I angrily grabbed the white sentence, "Don't worry! ”

"You're not in a hurry, others are in a hurry!" Sister Tina pointed to a corner of the venue - although it was not a specially set up assembly point, the heroines of those heroes all gathered there, looking anxiously and expectantly at Thresteen together, (after all, Thresteen is now visiting those superior nobles, and it is inconvenient to be disturbed) "Look at you, while dominating the 'red-eyed meteor', and at the same time maintaining a sister-brother relationship with him-"

"Don't you know the reason, Sister Tina?" I angrily stuffed a sea bass ball into my mouth, "You don't want to think about whose fault is it for this embarrassing situation now?!" ”

"Hah! Ah, you're going to blame Heronys! He's the mastermind! Sister, I'm just an accomplice! ――Don't talk about that, my sister meant. If you do decide to be with that bastard, make it public sooner! ”

"-What if you don't want to?" I'm starting to get a little impatient.

"Don't want to? So you're going to kick that bastard out of the way sooner? ――You are stuck with the 'red-eyed meteor' every day, and it is inconvenient for other young people to approach you. ”

“……”

"But it's also." Suddenly, Sister Tina sighed softly, "There aren't many young people like Thresteen here...... There must be nothing that you can look at, right? Speaking of this, she took a sip of white wine very lonely, "After all, many excellent young people are ...... in the Shailith Plains."

Sister Tina...... "I don't know what to say.

Yes, many of the young knights I once knew had died—in the terrible battle of the Plains of Shaylis.

We lost too many young lives in that fiasco, the good ones. Prepare to build a young life of merit and show the glory of the family.

And now, look around at the young people standing in the royal inner court. Many of the well-behaved babies who stayed with their parents and only knew how to gather and chat, most of them relied on their parents to avoid their obligations in the name of donating money to the war.

-- It's unfair to say that so many outstanding young people are ......

- And Lacey......

"But if you look for it carefully. You're sure to find something outstanding! "Sister Tina saw that I didn't speak. He leaned into my ear and asked, "How's that?" Would you like to introduce a few of you? Sister, I have a list here! ”

"Huh? List? ”

"Yes! Sister, I privately summarized the excellent talents! -- Not a single one of those who relied on family ties to evade military service! ”

"Sister Tina, you're so idle—"

"Hee-hee! This is for you! ”

"I really don't need to!" Looking at Sister Tina, who was in high spirits in front of me, I really felt powerless, "It's good to be alone!" - Besides, I can't forget ...... Lacey."

"That's right......," Sister Tina was silent, "I'm sorry......," she said quietly.

"It's okay! It's all right! It's not what you think! - I'm not depressed right now! I hurriedly defended, "I'm happy now!" It's true! Really happy! ”

"I'm worried about nothing!" Hearing my words, Sister Tina sighed heavily. "A while ago, I saw that you and Asa were so intimate, and I thought it was possible between you!"

“……”

How is there another misunderstanding?! Isn't one Lageris enough?!

I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

"Ahh Don't get me wrong! "Probably because you see my expression? Sister Tina hurriedly explained. "Actually, sister, I wanted to push you today, but I didn't expect you to ...... I'm so sorry! ”

"If you want to push us, you don't have to make such a big detour, right?!" I frowned helplessly and complained, "Sister Tina, you just say no?!" ”

"Sister, I want you to say it yourself!" Sister Tina, who was originally in high spirits, now has a listless face, "The original plan was: wait for you to say that your sweetheart is Asa first, and then we will encourage you to chase-"

"Yes, yes, you're bothered!" I was really not interested in it, and I was very tired of it, but-"Sister Tina, just ask! How are you going to encourage me? Also, why do you ask people to chase that pervert? - Ahh It's just that I'm curious to see how enthusiastic you are, don't get me wrong! ”

"It won't!" Sister Tina smiled and shook her head, "Originally, sister, I was going to use me and Gatus as an example—"

"What does your marriage have to do with other people......

"Sakura, do you think it's easy for these two idiots to get married?!" Sister Cana, who was suddenly lying on the side, interjected angrily, "I've been arguing with each other for more than ten years, if it weren't for Gattes' serious injury, the two of them would definitely be able to quarrel and go to heaven!" ”

"Yo! Jana, are you awake?! - Where do we have what you say?! ”

"Humph!" Sister Jana only replied with a contemptuous snort, and at the same time picked up the water cup on the table and poured it violently, "Whew! I'm so thirsty! ”

“…… Forget it," although Sister Cana ignored her, Sister Tina was not angry, "Na, Sakura...... Kindness...... It's probably like what Cana said, right? Only when you lose it do you know how to cherish it...... Sister, I almost lost him, so I hope you'll be—"

"I know, sister," I replied silently, "I know everything." ”

"No, you don't know!" Sister Tina interrupted me solemnly, "I'm not talking about Threstin! ”

"Huh?!"

"No matter what you're thinking right now," Sister Tina said, "if you have a crush on that Asa, or if you're happy with him, I'd suggest you take action!" - Time is running out, after all. ”

"Time is running out?!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and Sister Jana, who was busy looking for food on the table, also looked at it curiously.

"You don't know," Sister Tina nodded, "that in the near future - in a year at most - we will declare war on Tayek!" ”

"Really?!"

"Well, His Majesty Sarabonte wants to wash away the shame of defeat with blood - recently he has sent someone to rebuild the city of Roquetar, that is, the former family castle of Threstine, everyone thinks that it is about to give Lacey, but in fact, more importantly, the city of Roquetar is an important stronghold embedded in the main road between the north and the south!"

War? So fast?

Although we all knew that it would be a matter of time before His Majesty the King of Sarabont would lead an army to take revenge on Tajek, we did not expect it to be so soon—according to my father's judgment, it would take at least three years for the country to recover?

Alas, there are going to be a lot of dead and wounded again......

"Although Asa is the third prince of Northridge, judging from his personality and the record of his last battle, it is very likely that he will participate in the next war as the 'hero Lacey' - after all, he wants to protect Sakura," Sister Tina sighed slightly, "I almost lost Gatus in the last war...... So I don't want Sakura to find your happiness before the war—"

Oh...... It turns out that Sister Tina means this.

I deliberately wore a wedding dress with Gatus and specially told me about my marriage, just so that I could cherish the present, cherish this short time of peace, and cherish ...... Everything you love.

But, Sister Tina, you don't know, I ...... I can't forget Lacey, and I know that it's impossible to get along with Asa.

Or...... I won't be so careless with Assa.

Really, having spent so much time with Asa, I can confidently say that no one knows Asa better than I do.

Yes, no one.

I'll know exactly what's going on in Asa's mind, and I'll know exactly what he's going to do.

So even if Asa never said it directly, I could really know that it wasn't me who Asa was looking at.

Maybe that person is similar to me, maybe that person has a similar personality to me, but that person can never be me.

So......

Even if I really like him now, I won't get my own happiness.

"Hey! Tina! What are you doing in such a hurry?! - Isn't there another year?! Sister Jana spoke on the side, "You're too eager to urge them, aren't you?" ”

"Hurry?!" Sister Tina glared at her, "I'm not only anxious for them, I'm anxious for you!" It's been more than ten years, and it's still the same! When it comes to the critical moment, you are shy to drink there, is there any progress?! Oh! The amount of alcohol is a lot higher! ”

This one...... Sister Cana drinks because she is shy? So the bold and resolute Sister Cana?

Belch! I feel like a big contrast!

"Hehe...... Sister Cana smirked awkwardly for a while and stood up abruptly, "Can't I go?" Tina, Sakura, look at it! - Today I'm Cana! I! I...... I...... Kindness...... I...... I must sleep with Herony! ”

With that, she strode towards her father in the distance.

"-It seems that the lioness hasn't woken up yet," looking at her swaying figure, Sister Tina sighed helplessly, "Sakura, I'll just take care of her!" ”

"--Shall I go?"

"No, Jana, she's already at war, Sakura...... You have your wars too! With that saying this, Sister Tina hurried after the orange-haired beauty who seemed to kill my father.

- My war?

――What is that? (To be continued.) )
