"Huh! Looks like you've found out? The Tajek diplomat named Sanle walked up to him very leisurely, first frowned exaggeratedly, looked at us who felt nervous at the same time, and clenched our swords, and then deliberately pretended to be very happy, and smiled, "Just kidding, don't be nervous!" I have permission from His Majesty the King of Sarabont! - For who I am! Finally, he made a point of emphasis. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just as he was saying this last sentence, the biting chill that Sanle exuded from his body gradually disappeared, and at the same time, Sanle's originally slightly wide face changed.

- Camouflage magic?! After a while, Sanraku's face became thinner, his skin that had been a little rough gradually smoothed, and his lips were more rosy than before, the only thing that didn't change was the scar used for camouflage and the snake-like eyes behind the scar.

"You're not a Sanle diplomat?!" Asa and I asked vigilantly at the same time, "Who the hell are you?!" ”

"Oh, it's you, the red snake!" Xia Baifei on the side sneered in disgust, "Don't nest in the snake cave to hibernate but come here?" Hum! - You're so daring! ”

- They know?!

And looking at Xia Baifei's face is very ugly, and he also called Sanle a poisonous snake......

"Huh?!" However, Sanle didn't pay attention to Xia Baifei, but looked at Asa who looked nervous in surprise, "What?" Lord Roktar? Don't you remember me?! ”

Oops! - It's someone Lacey knows! Now it's Asa playing Lacey!

"Me? Shall I know you? Assa, who reacted quickly, immediately changed his disdainful face and looked back at Sanle, "I'm not interested in remembering you snake!" ”

Pretty! ――Can you get away with it?

"Huh! You're still very hostile to me......" Sanle smiled as if he didn't care about it. "Just like we did when we broke up - yes, yes, do you remember our friendship agreement?"

"Promise? A friendship pact?! Is there one? Kindness...... Who remembers all this time? What's more, it's an agreement with you, the poisonous snake?! Asa pretended to be trying to stall for time, "I'm going to have to think about it—"

"Xia Baifei. He is—" I hurriedly asked Xia Baifei to relieve Asa.

"He's—"

"Ahh Yes! Xia Baifei! However, Sanle stopped Xia Baifei before he could say the answer, "Don't say it!" - You see, Miss Sakura deliberately didn't ask his brother but came to ask you, which is not an ordinary meaning! - Aren't you afraid that Lord Roctar will be displeased? ”

"Meaning? What's the point?! Xia Baifei, who didn't know the situation, couldn't help but be stunned.

"Ugh! - Hah! Sanle was amused by Xia Baifei's inexplicable appearance, "Ha! I forgot that you desert hyena was a fool in this regard! ――A word of advice for you: Anyway, don't make Sakura-sa angry like you just did! ”

"Oh......" Xia Baifei looked at me hesitantly and closed her mouth.

Damn it! This Sanle actually blocked all the opportunities.

I looked at Sanle in exasperation.

What to do? Xia Baifei, that fool, actually listened to Sanle's words and closed his mouth. It's impossible for people to ask him anymore - although I don't know what's wrong, but now it seems that Sanle has become very suspicious of the identity of "Serestine" now, if I ask Xia Baifei again and don't ask Assa, then Sanle can definitely be sure that the "Serestine" standing in front of him now is not Reis himself. If the true identity of the "hero Serrestine" is thus exposed, there will definitely be big trouble!

Woo! What to do? What now?

The person Lacey knows also has a friendship agreement with the "Sanle" in front of him - who is it? Lacey: He never told me! He never said he had a friend of Tayek......

Could it be that now we can only expect Asana's "fairly smart" brain? The one that Mr. Nabal said was called a half-horizontal brain?!

Woo - what a mess!

"Na! Lord Roktar, "While I'm thinking. Sanle is still pressing forward with bad intentions. "Have you really forgotten our agreement? Woooooo I'm so sad! Because, I have come here at such a great risk to-day, just to fulfill the promise between us! ”

"...... what did Reis make with him?! What the hell will it be?!

"You mean......" Asa asked tentatively, "when I was separated from you?" ”

"Yes!" Sanle didn't mind Asa asking this, and while showing a bright smile, he still looked at Asa with puzzled eyes, "At that time, you made a solemn agreement with me!" ”

"What's that agreement?!" Asa was furious.

"Isn't—is it?" Sanle laughed and dragged out his tone, "Don't you really remember?!" Or - you don't even know? - Threstin? Your Excellency Viscount Roquetar? Finally, he made a special accent.

"Humph!" Asa kept her mouth shut and glared at him viciously on purpose.

"......" Sanle also put away his smile and straightened his face. Look back calmly.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"That ......" Xia Baifei, who felt the tension on the side, also wanted to speak.

"Xia Baifei! Is it okay not to speak? Sanle stretched out his hand to stop him with unusual seriousness, "It's for Miss Sakura's good - I suspect this Thresten is a fake!" ”

"Huh? Fake?! ”

"What do you mean for my good?!" I finally found an opportunity to be angry. "What do you mean, Your Excellency? Is Lacey fake? Ha! Joke, it's Lacey's sister - how could he be a fake? ――Although I don't know what your real identity is, but after all, you are a VIP of our country, so please don't mess around here! Xia Baifei! I turned my face and ordered Xia Baifei, "The true identity of Your Excellency Sanle-"

"Huh? Do you know this fact, Sakura-san?! ――That's interesting! Sanle deliberately said very lightly, "Xia Baifei, I won't stop you!" Say it, say it! ”

"......" Oops! Sanle actually blocked this road!

- Don't expose the fact that Asa plays Reis!

My father once said to me and Asa very solemnly: "Once someone finds out that Threstin's identity is suspicious, or finds out that someone else is disguising Threstin, then it is not as simple as 'temporarily playing the hero', it means that impersonating Thresteen is a long-term plan that Sakura you participate in - after all, every time the person who follows the "Hero Thresten" is always Sakura's sister!" How is it possible that even you, the older sister, doesn't know that Thresteen is pretending?! So--since 'Hero Serrestine' has always been played by someone else, where is the real 'Serrestine'? Once someone pursues this question, then he is likely to discover the fact that Reis has long been dead, which means that what the people have always worshipped and supported is just an illusion! That would be a heavy blow to the confidence of the people and the trust of the nobility in the military department! It is very likely that the country will collapse as a result - and it must not be exposed! In particular, no adversary should be made aware of it! ”

However, at this time, the situation that my father and Sister Tina feared the most happened!

And although we have already set up a lot of ways to deal with emergencies, this cunning Sanle in front of us is definitely not a person who has been fooled so simply! -- what he just said clearly tells us -- as long as Thresteen in front of him does not recognize him, as long as Thresteen cannot say the agreement, it means that Thresteen is a fake!

What's worse is that my deliberate anger just now made Sanle even more sure that I was aware of the "fake Threstin"!

- Now as long as Xia Baifei opens his mouth to uncover the mystery before "Thresten" recognizes Sanle, then Asa and I don't even have a chance to make amends, and even if Asa says that agreement after that, it can't solve Sanle's suspicions about the identity of "Thyristine"! In that case...... The Sanle who looks very shrewd in front of him will never be a person who ignores questions, and he will definitely track it down after the meeting and find out......

Alas!

- Why is he the one who discovered the secret?!

――Why is it Sanraku who discovered the secret?!

――Why is it the diplomat of the enemy country who discovers the secret?!

――What should I do? What to do? What to do?!!

- Xia Baifei, please don't open your mouth!

I was forced by Sanle's words, so I had to look at Xia Baifei expectantly-

Luckily, although Xia Baifei is an idiot when it comes to treating girls, he is after all the famous "Viscount of Sand Wind", an excellent general among the younger generation-I saw him frown slightly, and then quickly felt that something was unusual, "This-I'm still not involved, right?" He replied to me with a calm smile, "As for the true identity of His Excellency Tajek Sanle - it is better for your brother to answer!" ”

Call! I breathed a sigh of relief.

――Even if Sanle is suspicious now, as long as Asa can answer correctly, he should be able to dispel it, right?

But...... I also know that this is almost impossible for us.

Lacey never mentioned his Tajek friends to me, let alone revealed any Tajek engagements.

Alas, I couldn't help at all at such a critical time.

Is it now the only way to rely on Asa?

Wish he was smart enough?

Pray...... Woo! Now I can only say it silently in prayer!

I looked at "Serrestin" with a tightly knit brow in front of me, and I also looked at Assa, who was also frowning behind this face.

Asa ...... You've never let my sister down, have you?

――This time, you will definitely not disappoint my sister and me, I will definitely ...... No way?

Feeling unconfident, I could only hope for a miracle in silence.

I hope that this usually smart Asa will bring me a miracle. (To be continued.) )
