Three months later, in the evening, on the outskirts of the Imperial City of Kulambell. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I, along with Lagers, Rucia, and little Luca, waited for Lacey's return at the agreed place.

Oh~ By the way, that good* ice master Asa is also there.

In the past three months, this pervert seems to have eaten me, and he has not left the Wind Riding Regiment, and today he is also cheeky and follows us.

Alas, nasty.

Although it feels like Lacey doesn't hate him, and I've heard that the two have been friendly since they got along, and I've heard Lacey's team member Axes say that the two of them can be considered good friends, but - what would Lacey think if he saw Asa always by my side?

Could it be-

But fortunately, today's pervert is just wholeheartedly engaged in his artistic creation, and he does not speak to annoy us.

"Sister Sakura, why hasn't Brother Lacey come back yet?" Little Luca finished eating the schnitzel in her hand and licked her fingers and asked.

"It's not time yet, what's the hurry?" Lagers replied for me, "Didn't you say five o'clock in the afternoon?" - Why do you want to eat again?! Seeing little Luca rummaging through Ruthya's basket again for her favorite food, Lagersis couldn't help but knock her on the head, "Just know how to eat!" Don't you know how to wait for your brother Lacey?! ”

"Woo~~~!" Little Luca rubbed her sore head and complained, "Luca, I'm hungry—it hurts!" Princess, what are you doing with such a heavy bang—"

"Princess, can you give little Luka some more?" Rusya asked.

"Eat, eat, eat! The steaks were all eaten by this little guy! What do red-eyed idiots come back to eat? - This is something that Sister Sakura specially did! ”

"It's okay, I'll do it again when I get back later." Looking at Lagersis in front of me, I smiled.

The happiest thing in the past three months was Laxis, because-

"Sister Sakura and Rusya, you also spoil Luca too much! Miss Ben has the final say! Lagersis snatched the basket from Rusya's hand a little roughly, and pushed Ruca with one hand to rush at little Luca, "Leave some for the red-eyed idiot!" Don't eat it! ”

"Woo~ Luca, I want it!" Little Luca didn't follow, "Brother Lacey won't be angry~"

"No! Listen to Miss Ben! Speaking of this, Lagersis straightened her chest proudly, and gave Rusya a special look, and then said the classic sentence that she had often hung on her lips for the past three months, "The red-eyed idiot is Miss Ben's fiancé!" Miss Ben will be the main room in the future! You all have to listen to Miss Ben! ”

Reis's main room -- every time I hear this word, my heart always sours.

Rey and I...... Alas.

"The main room, the main room, what's the big deal?! It's just an identity! Little Luca pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and resisted, "Luca, I'm Brother Reis's younger sister~ and Sister Sakura and Sister Ogi-chan - and, and Luca, I believe that Brother Reis's favorite is Sister Rusya!" ”

"......" It seemed that little Luca had said what she was most worried about, and Lagersis immediately glared at Rusya in dissatisfaction, "What do you think?" Since the red-eyed idiot loves you so much, you will definitely listen to the orders of Miss Ben, right? Kindness?! ”

"Yes...... Yes! The cowardly Rusya was glared at by Lagersis, and couldn't help but shrink back again, with a sad expression that wanted to cry without tears, "Princess, I'...... I...... I listen to you for everything! ”

"That's it!" I reached out and knocked the triumphant Lagersis, "You like bullying Rusya so much?" - Be careful that Lacey will find you desperately for a while! ”

"Woo~!" This time it was Lagers' turn to hold her head in pain and complain, "Unfortunately, Miss Ben forgot that there is one biggest obstacle that has not been removed!" ”

"Huh? Laxis, who do you say is the biggest obstacle to get rid of? I deliberately leaned in with my trademark sneer and leaned in towards her—

"Wow!" Lagersis screamed in surprise and hurriedly hid behind Rusya, but her mouth was still unyielding, "Miss Ben is talking about you, Sister Sakura!" - Except for the maid, you are the biggest obstacle for all of us! Little Luca! Rusya, are you right? ”

Rusya looked at little Luca and Lagersis hesitantly, then timidly at me—and finally nodded approvingly with little Luca!

"Huh? It turns out that I'm also an obstacle for little Luca and Rusya, you want to get rid of? I deliberately lowered my face and lengthened my tone at the same time, "I just helped you speak--sister, I'm so sad-"

"Sister Sakura, aren't you sad!" Little Luka stepped back vigilantly, "Sister Sakura, you have an expression of wanting to hit someone now!" ”

"That's it! And not our biggest obstacle?! Lagersis, who was hiding behind Rusya, stretched out half her head and said with a smile, "If you say the wrong thing, you will beat people, and you will hold your sister's shelves everywhere!" Good - nasty! ”

"Laxis, you're so daring—" I approached them, "how dare you openly hate me?!" It seems that you, an uneducated princess, need to be re-a**...... Today, sister, I will replace Lacey to educate and educate you! ”

"Wow! Rusya! Help stop Sakura! ”

"Huh? Rusya, you're trying to stop me?! ”

Rusya, who was pushed forward by Lagsis as a shield, blushed and shook her head desperately in a panic.

"Well, that's good-that sister will teach you a lesson after teaching that unruly main room!"

Hearing my words, the timid Rusya was about to cry.

It's so cute to cry without tears - no wonder Lacey always likes to tease her when she's fine.

"Alas! Are you having fun here? Asa, who had been concentrating on painting on the side, suddenly interrupted our playfulness, "Can you use your brains?" How could the biggest threat be Miss Sakura? ”

"Huh?" Lagers was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously, "You mean Ogi?!" ”

"Not really!" Asa closed the sketchbook and pointed to Rusya, "Aren't you worried about the last time you came to help that red-eyed summons, that demon?" ”

"Ruthia's sister?!"

"The black crow?!"

Lagers and little Luca cried out in surprise.

I also looked at Asa suspiciously.

"Of course! Who else could it be?! - Don't you think that demon princess is so sexy?! Asa's eyes widened and he gestured exaggeratedly, "That dress, that figure!" Great! ”

"Won't it?" Lagersis frowned, "That Bisha is the princess of the Demon Realm?!" How could Lacey like her?! ”

"She's a Sandman~ Seducing men is their strong point!" Asa continued to point at Rusya, "Look at Rusya, if you don't take the initiative, you can make the red-eyed so favored, that demon princess is the one who took the initiative!" Besides—" Assa's gaze gradually shifted down as he looked at Ruthia, "and besides, that breast—bigger than Ruthia!" ”

Rusya blushed and shrank behind me.

"What's wrong with big breasts? And—" Little Luca couldn't figure it out, but apparently she had a question, "wasn't that black crow Brother Lacey's enemy last time?" ”

"But now they're in a partnership!" Lagersis grabbed Rusya with a panicked look, "Your sister won't like red-eyed idiots, will she?" She's a noble princess of the Demon Realm! ”

"But...... But......" said Rusya hesitantly, "last time sister she ...... Sister She ...... My sister also said that she liked Les very much......"

Listening to Rusya's words, Lagersis stood for a moment, then turned to me for help with a strange expression: "Sakura...... Sister, red-eyed idiot he ...... It shouldn't be so undisciplined, right? ”

"This—"

I'm not sure.

After all, there are three fools in front of him who like Lacey, and-

Lacey likes them too.

- Maybe it's four,

I sighed to myself.

"But it would be interesting if the princess of the Demon World was also accepted by the red-eyed as a harem," Asa glanced at me and changed the subject, "Then my brother's poems will be even more brilliant." ”

"Yes!" Lagersis's thoughts were immediately taken away, and he laughed, "That dead Xia Nan really has him!" ”

"Psalms? What Psalms?! Rusya asked curiously.

"Sister Rusya, of course you don't know if you're huddled in the house!" Little Luca explained, "Now Brother Lacey is a celebrity in the mainland! ”

"Celebrities?!"

"Yes! Miss Ben! Lagersis proudly interrupted little Luca, "That dead Charnan wrote the story of Lacey as a bard's poem~ Now there are bards singing all over the country!" ”

"Huh? How is it described? "I'm also curious, because I've been helping Sister Jana with official business for the past three months, so it's the first time I've heard about it.

"Red-eyed shooting star! The brave man who defeated the Demon General, the wise general who saved the defeat of the Shaylis Society, and the hero who rescued the Holy Knight Hieroni! And—" Lagersis held her head proudly, "the knight who saved the princess!" ”

"Huh? That's what Lacey said? "I'm so happy to hear that people are so positive about Lacey.

Rusya smiled as well.

"Those bastards in the military department don't want to openly admit the credit of the red-eyed idiot to save the defeat! But—"

"However, Brother Lacey's exploits in defeating the Demon Realm General are publicly recognized by our church!" Little Luca hurriedly said, "Although the official name has not been decided, the common people already probably think that Brother Lacey's name is the red-eyed meteor." ”

"And," added Assa, "the descendants of the fallen nobles, the heroes who rose up among the commoners to break into Tajek alone to save the princess, are just like the legendary tale of the brave man and the evil dragon, but a living brave in reality!" -- Although my brother did an artistic process when he sang it, it is basically a fact that the red-eyed ones are now very popular among commoners and nobles! ――Many theaters have staged heroic legends about him! ”

"Now Lacey is so popular? That's great! Rusya was already so happy that she couldn't stop talking.

"You're not afraid that his reputation is so high, and a few more aristocratic beauties will pop up to rob him?" Laxis gave Rusya a blank look, and then said with the same joy, "Father said that as soon as the red-eyed idiot returns, he will be given the city of Roktar and its dependencies again!" - Thanks to the high reputation of the red-eyed idiot, those nobles have no opinion, hehe! ”

"Wow! That's nice! Then Brother Lacey will have a lot of money to invite Luca and me to a big meal when he becomes a lord—wow! Little Luca was knocked on the ground again by Lagers.

"You know how to eat! Miss Ben hasn't finished speaking yet - do you know what the biggest benefit of a red-eyed idiot is when he becomes a lord?! Lagsy glared at little Luca unceremoniously.

Little Luca just shook her head in confusion.

"Stupid!" Lagersis crossed her hands on her waist and said proudly, "Becoming a lord for a red-eyed idiot means restoring your status as a nobleman!" In that way, the identity is compatible with Miss Ben! Even if those aristocrats oppose the red-eyed idiot marrying Miss Ben, they can't come up with a reason! ”

Oh...... I see.

Looking at Lagersis triumphantly there, I was genuinely happy for her.

The dream that Laxis has been working so hard for is about to come true.

That's nice.

- Although,

The thought of Lacey and Lagersis getting married makes my heart a little sour.

Les......

I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

And then—

"Huh? Look! "I suddenly pointed into the distance—

In the distance, a vague figure is galloping towards us on horseback.

In the reflection of the orange sunset behind him, it seemed that he was also shining.

Near, he near.

We could already see his short blue hair, and we could already see his bright red eyes.

He smiled happily at us, grasping the reins in one hand and waving at us with the other.

Les! You're back!

We've finally got you back!

"Lacey—" We shouted together and took a step forward.

However,

However!

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistle!

Before we could react, suddenly seven or eight black-clothed men burst out of the ground in front of Lacey!

It's so fast!

It all happened so fast!

It was so fast that it seemed like our screams had stopped.

It was as if time stood still in this instant.

In this stagnant time, the group of men in black did not hesitate to raise their swords and leap towards Reis.

No, no, no-!!!

Lacey was impaled by seven or eight swords at the same time, and he didn't even have time to pull out the sword behind his back!

No, no! Lacey!

Immediately afterward, the man in black let out a strange scream at the same time, and then disappeared together into the last rays of the sunset.

All that was left for us was the warm Lacey.

Lacey's corpse!

No!!!!
