The weather is getting fast, and I don't feel very cold in my normal military uniform today--even though it was still shivering a week ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At six o'clock this evening, the three-day spring festival officially began, and today, I was given the task of "being in charge of the security of the inner court".

Said to be responsible, in fact, there is no need to be upright like the guards of the venue, and they are just acting as a temporary combat force in case of emergencies - after all, this banquet of the superior nobles in the inner court has allowed many low-class nobles and commoners living in the outer city to participate, and it is not good if there is any accident.

So I was able to go to the banquet without wearing that beautiful evening dress, just in a plain tweed uniform.

Kindness...... Actually, people also want to wear that beautiful evening dress, but it's just ...... It's going to be a hassle to wear that!

Osin reminded right, perhaps...... Seventeen years old am I old enough to get married, right? It's not boasting! Since my father took charge of the military department, there have been many young nobles who have spoken to them with courtesy, and there have been many countesses who have mentioned my marriage in front of my father—so if I were to dress up again today, I would be annoyed by those young nobles!

So in order not to attract attention and not make those ladies feel rude, it is better to wear military uniforms!

- If Lacey were still alive, I would be wearing my mother's pink evening dress today - it must have felt good!

Kindness...... Lacey: He's going to be stunned!

Alas, forget it! Shrugging my shoulders indifferently, I leisurely walked to the table at the edge of the courtyard, picked up a glass of freshly squeezed fig juice, and sipped it gently.

It's not bad to go to a court ball in this capacity - where would you have the opportunity to drink such fresh fig juice in normal times?

Because this ball was attended by a lot of people who were not of high nobility. Therefore, the layout of the whole venue is also very different from usual. The oranges of Tayek, the figs of the seaside of Tara in the desert kingdom, the sugar cane of Rosien. Gelles' green olives, and Kesir's frozen ham. Northridge lamb, four-gill perch from the Naudoran River outside the Imperial City, and a lot of fruit food that I can't name almost fill the specially set tables around the expansive royal courtyard. Court musicians, who are rarely seen on weekdays, also play melodious music on one side of the courtyard.

-- This is a common man's preferred way (and Lacey and I of course too) are far more convenient and less polite than the royal ones in the old days when they had a formal meal in the dining room and then walked into the dance hall together.

And...... Although there are so many delicious foods around, most of the nobles in ceremonial clothes have to take care of their own ceremonial image, and at most they just choose some simple fruit cakes and other foods, hehe! Where is the convenience of someone wearing such a military uniform? - Although not as greedy as little Luca. But I was happy to see that the entire table full of food was almost all enjoyed by myself!

It was already half dark, but there was still some time before seven o'clock in the evening, and His Majesty had not yet arrived, and the festival had not officially begun, but many people had already come to this royal courtyard, so many counts! O Marquis! The Grand Duke or something, the big people who are usually hard to see appeared, and said that in the place where the big men naturally gathered, the same "red-eyed shooting star-hero Serrestine", also dressed in a sky-blue military uniform and decorated with a light sword at his waist, was following his father step by step. He constantly greeted the nobles, and occasionally, chatted with them.

Dead Asa. It's really the same thing.

Looking at the polite, handsome and elegant "Lacey" in front of me, I sighed heartily.

Alas, if only it were really Lacey.

Yes! - Even though Asa played it perfectly!

At this time the father was talking to the Marquis of Eschoot, and Thresten was pulled aside by the Marquise and her close friend, the Countess Torud—

"Your Excellency Roktar, that's amazing!" The Marquise exclaimed, "Don't look at the Marquis's lack of talk, but in private he is full of praise for you!" ”

"That's it!" The Countess said, "Speaking of which, the adults of my family still picked up a life on the battlefield because of you!" I haven't had a chance to thank you properly! ”

"It's just my luck!" Thresten bowed slightly politely. "And it's mostly thanks to my teammates—"

"Ahh Don't be modest! The Marquise interrupted him with a smile, "Your Excellency, don't joke with us women—you saved Master Hieroni from Ashetaro alone!" ――That's true, isn't it? ”

"Ashetaro?!" The Countess expressed her amazement. "Is that the one-"

"That's right! The head of the burial corps is said to be the strongest swordsman in the whole continent! The Marquise explained to her.

"Yikes! Young people are so powerful?! The countess's expression became more and more astonished. (It feels contrived - it's been almost a year since the heroic deeds of the red-eyed meteor were sung by the bards.) How could she not know?! ）

"Huh!" Thresteen couldn't help but smile noncommittally, "That's God's protection!" ”

"It seems that Countess Torud really needs to thank this hero!" The Marquise smiled again and looked at Threstin, "I wonder if Lord Rocttar would like to move to the Earl's Court after the festival?" ”

"Yes!" The Countess nodded repeatedly, "I sincerely invite you!" - The little girl also wants to thank the hero who saved her father! And ......" The Countess glanced at the Marquise, nodded slightly at her, and continued, "The Marquise's granddaughter also wants to meet you, the great hero!" (Finally to the point!) Round such a big bend - cut! ）

"This ......" Thresteen hesitated slightly.

"—I'm sorry to disturb you," said the father, who appeared at their side at the right time, bowed respectfully to the Marquises, and then said, "Madame, the Marquis, if you want to take a good look at Serestine, may you take him over?" ”

"Oh! The Marquis wants to see it! Then go for it! The Marquise smiled and waved her hand.

"Oh! Then take your leave! A relieved Thresteen gracefully bowed and apologized to the two ladies.

It looks perfect.

Such politeness, such modesty, such graceful hero, what a perfect young man—if Thresteen had not peeked at the countess's half-naked breasts when she bowed!

- Dead Asa!

Do you think you haven't been discovered?! The Countess's face was red just now!

Really, although the Countess looks about the same age as Sister Cana. But she's a countess after all! Can you be a little restrained when you are?!

Disgusting to death!

- Forget it! Today, people really don't have the patience to say that it's a spring festival anyway, and then they can lock up Thresten! So--today as long as he's honest on the surface. Again...... Today's "red-eyed meteor" must be the focus of the audience. It will definitely attract a lot of girls to come around, and even this little thing has to be stopped by my sister. Where can people get busy?!

Yes?! Speaking of "attraction" - that's right! Since my father was there, then—

I hurriedly searched the crowd for a beautiful figure in an orange evening gown - I wonder how Sister Jana is now?

Today, they helped her dress up for a day!

People specially helped her choose an orange evening dress, with Sister Cana's short orange hair, and then a pearl necklace and a pair of aquamarine earrings, which is really beautiful!

"Humph! Today, my sister must capture your father's heart at all costs! Before leaving, Sister Jana raised her hand and swore, "Hieroni, his eyes will definitely not leave me!" ”

"Yes! Kindness! Come on, Sister Cana! - You must be the most beautiful in the audience today! "I was cheering her on at the time.

But - what about Sister Cana, who had only seen my father all this time?

Although considering Sister Cana's character, and past performance. Not much hope, I searched around with some anticipation - where is Sister Cana?

……，……，……。

I was wrong, I was absolutely wrong! Shouldn't you let go of Sister Cana's hand when you just entered the door - expectation? People shouldn't expect anything from her at all!

I angrily walked towards Sister Cana, who was holding up the wine bottle at the other table, and pouring it into the mouth of the bottle, which was supposed to be the image of a dignified lady!

"What are you doing?!" I snatched the bottle and said angrily, "Sister Cana?!" ”

"Huh?! Cherry?! Ha! However, Sister Cana just breathed wine with drunken eyes, "You're here?!" - Come and drink this sake! Will made 10 years - 41 years ago! ”

"What's going on?!" I really wanted to pick up the glass of water on the table and throw it at Sister Cana, "What are you doing here?" Forgot the purpose of today?! ”

"Huh?! Objective?! What purpose? Sister Jana inexplicably turned her head sideways and thought for a long time, and then slapped her head suddenly. Oh! That's right! Come to think of it! …… I really shouldn't drink here, I'm going to sleep with Herony! ”

"Well, that's right—uh! Sleep?! "Don't wait for me to react. Sister Jana has already picked up the bottle of wine and walked towards her father slowly!

"Sister Jana!" I hurriedly tried to grab her-

"Alright! What are you drunkenness again, lioness?! "Fortunately, the reinforcements appeared in time - Tina, the leader of the Water Cavalry Regiment, grabbed Sister Cana by the collar and dragged her back violently!

"Ti-Na-?" Sister Jana glared back at her fiercely, "Let go—uh!" ”

However, Tina didn't wait for Sister Cana to finish speaking, and slashed Sister Cana's neck like lightning!

"Go! Move a chair! Tina first commanded the stunned waiter, and then looked at me with the limp Sister Cana on her shoulder, "See?" To stop this lioness in heat - you can't hold her with your hands alone! ”

...... "Then you don't have to be so rude, right?" I moved my lips, but finally didn't get the words out of my mouth.

I am not as familiar with the leader of the water riding group in front of me as Sister Cana, and she has always given me the impression of being very gentle. I didn't expect Sister Tina to make a move when she said - and so fast!

"That, Sakura. Look at how well I'm dressed today? Seeing that I was standing there stupidly and not answering, Tina simply asked directly.

"Good-looking? Absolutely! I replied hurriedly. This pale yellow one-piece gauze skirt is really a good match for you, Sister Tina! It's like a wedding dress. ”

"What is like a wedding dress? - It's a wedding dress! Tina raised her head triumphantly.

"Huh?! It is?! ”

"Shhhh Don't say it! ――Today, my sister and I get married! Gattes! Sister Tina turned her head and beckoned not far away, "Come over here!" ”

In the crowd, a tall man in a pure white dress approached us, frowning and looking impatient.

He was the leader of the Fireriders, Gatus (oh!). Once, I guess it was, right? After all, the Fireriders were wiped out in the Battle of Shaylis, and Gattes, who had recovered from serious injuries, was now Sister Tina's deputy. ）

"Sakura, the two of us are a good match, right?!" Sister Tina stood beside Gatus with a smug face, and deliberately grabbed his arm. (Mr. Gattes' expression is even more impatient)

"Eun!" I nodded repeatedly.

"Hey, hey! Tina! Gatus complained to Sister Tina dissatisfied, "Didn't you say you wouldn't say it?!" ”

"Sakura isn't an outsider again!" Sister Tina gave him a blank look in turn.

"That...... "......To be honest, I'm still a little confused, although I knew that Sister Tina and Gatus were close to being a pair of lovers, and even after the two broke up, the mood of caring for each other and taking care of each other has not changed, but...... Kindness...... But how to put it, it seems that for as long as I can remember, they have been in that inexplicable relationship - to get married so suddenly......

"Weird, isn't it?!" Sister Tina smiled, "Actually, it's nothing! If it weren't for the constant quarrels due to personality differences, Gattes and I would have been together a long time ago - Gattes, do you say? ”

"Humph!" Gatus turned his face to the side in embarrassment.

"Shy! So cute! Sister Tina smiled and pounded him with her elbow, and then said to me, "So, we decided to take advantage of this spring festival to get married!" ”

"Bless you!" I picked up the bouquet of flowers for decoration on the table and handed it over very solemnly.

"Hah! Thank you! Sister Tina smiled and pulled out one of the white roses, trying to pin it to Gattes' chest, "Sakura, don't tell me about it!" Confidentiality! ”

"Well...... Aren't you going to have a wedding?! I asked.

Looking at Gatus, who looked helpless and irritable in front of him, but obediently fiddled with Sister Tina, it felt good.

"No more! They are all in their thirties, and they are laughed at for their weddings! At this point, Sister Tina approached me mysteriously, "Actually, it's-It's Gattes' shyness!" ”

"Tina!" Gatus finally couldn't help it, "Don't make a fuss, okay?!" ”

"Good! Got it! Now, Sakura, sister, I'm married! - What about you? (To be continued)
