"This quadruple is really not a nice thing......"

"Because there's a reason." The "wounded" smiled softly and wryly: "The countries of the marriage partners have advanced history in this way, and the British have simplified the marriage by unified administration of Mary, so that it can be used for political transactions."

And, although she in order to reproduce Mary. Stuart became Queen of Scotland, but suffered a political defeat and was soon exiled to England. But he was semi-imprisoned—"

"I heard that it was an attempted assassination of Elizabeth according to the genealogy......

“Jud。” The "wounded" put down the sword and handed it to the dog ghost: "That's it. In addition, because her execution as an old-fashioned woman became the trigger for the naval battle with the Spanish Armada, the name Mary can only be said to be taboo in today's England. ”

"That's right." Yan Zhen muttered. Then, he folded his arms and said, "The affairs of the British royal family are really complicated." ”

As for the feelings that came out of Yan Zhen's mouth, the "injured person" turned his head and asked, "Complicated things...... What does it mean? ”

was asked like this, and Yan Zhen remembered that the main person he was talking about was here. So, as if to escape: "No, the British problem, I should not intervene since I have left the UK." ”

"--Don't worry about it so much." Hearing the somewhat tough tone of the "wounded", Yan Zhen sighed. Thinking that this would be it, he sat down and sat opposite the "wounded" across the group of swords. Then the "wounded" also put on a straight posture: "-I made an appointment with you that no matter what you say, I will not get angry." Because, that's what I want you to say. ”

"Okay." Yan Zhen replied like this. I looked at the canine ghosts who were waiting in line not far away. said: "Something about the 'double Bloody Mary' of the double attack name. I learned a little bit about it on my side.

For example, the name "Double Bloody Mary" comes from the execution of a large number of English Allies when Mary ruled England with her father, Henry VIII, who wanted to restore the English Allies to the old school.

The second generation of Mary was also, written to Philip. II handed over the suicide note to the British. ”

"Mary on either side is hated by England that has left the old school, right?"

"Not really." Realizing that he was saying too absolutely, Yan Zhen hurriedly waved his hand.

"It's just speculation on my own, but, that Mary...... Do you want to say this about the changes in the country and the world? ”

Speaking of this, Yan Zhen took a breath. Then, he said, "Why, can't we keep it the way it was?" ”

“――――”

Yan Zhen thought of this while feeling the meaning of the silence of the "wounded". In the original plot, there were also fools who messed around in order to retrieve important things.

It should be the same between the fool who plans to conquer the world in order to regain Hallesen's affection and the woman who is bloodstained in order to return to her original Britain.

It's hard to understand for me who doesn't know much about political issues. But the only thing that can be understood,

“…… That's it. ”

Yan Zhen thought of a word. No matter how well you understand the future, no matter how clear you are about what you should be doing and the meaning of the results. There is only one word to say. That is,

"--Because it's hard."

Yan Zhen felt that he had not explained what he said at all. It doesn't seem to even be an impression. It's just talking to myself.

Probably because of this, the "wounded" sitting opposite stared at him and asked: "...... Hard, yes? Why? …… Is that kind of survival necessary for the UK? Because there is also a need for historical reproduction, the existence of Mary is absolutely necessary, and execution is also indispensable. In a sense, it is to abide by the absolute justice of history. It's hard work to do something like this—"

"It's just hard."

Yan Zhen felt that he really couldn't think of other more suitable words. then

"Even to abide by history, that way of living is a wrong way of life.

Unlike the real Mary in the mythological era, who thought that she might be able to fight victoriously, Her Royal Highness the 'Double Bloody Mary' on the basis of history re-enactment, knew that it was a wrong decision, and had to carry it out.

Whether it is the purge, the reappearance of several marriages, or the political chaos, even if we understand it, we have to trigger these things, and we have to make up our minds to take responsibility for these things for the times that follow.

Stopping all the faults on yourself is such a thing,...... I really can't find any other adjectives other than hard work. ”

Then, the "wounded" asked rhetorically: "...... Why do you think she would do such a stupid thing? ”

"I guess if I don't bear it myself, I'll make others suffer."

This is just optimistic speculation, Yan Zhen thought. Because this is a world where no matter the political tricks and ulterior deals, there is only suspicion. Therefore, his words are just beautiful words, Yan Zhen said while thinking about these things: "I will suffer." However, as a result, others can avoid suffering, and if they gain something, even if it is a hard thing, they can be proud of it in their own heart and feel satisfied. It is insignificant to oneself, but it is the supreme happiness to the surroundings.

No, although the basic principle of labor is the principle of exchanging hard work for righteousness, even if you know this, there will still be pain, even injuries.

So, no matter what form it takes, it would be a wonderful thing if there was someone who could support that person's small happiness. ”

“…… That's it. After saying these words, Yan Zhen noticed that the "wounded" fell silent.

Not only did he not say a word, but he bowed his head slightly and remained motionless. So Yan Zhen instinctively thought: "...... Oops, awful......! Though. I already knew that I would say that the point of the original plot was hidden. It would be Mary who was silent. But not so, right? ”

So, Yan Zhen, who was thinking about playing as much as possible, hurriedly said: "No, no, it's me who said too much!" ”

'Introspective Ghost'

The second shot hit the interthigh where the pan sat up. Yan Zhen fell forward and thought, "...... Huh? I forgot that there is a dog ghost who protects the lord here, it's really too much. ”

Anyway, Dian Zang, who let out a sigh and lowered his body, heard the voice of the "wounded": "...... What's wrong? ”

"What, nothing?"

The fact that it is reflexively said to be interrogative means that self-explanation is deceptive, no matter how you think about it. But the voice of the "wounded" standing up could be heard from the shadow of the sword group: "Is there any injury?" ”

'No injured ghosts?' ’

“…… It's not an injury, it's a pain! It's a pain in the egg! Bastard! Inu-oni! ”

But if you don't recover as soon as possible, you will be seen as a shame by the "injured". At this time, if it were to say what Halleson and Master Tory said in the original story, it would have evolved into "Oops, oops, please use the flower of the season as a metaphor to explain what is going on." ”

"Uh, that, it's like a bud of a red lilac flower-" This kind of questioning played, Yan Zhen thought about these things in his mind, but it was still a little difficult to recover from the cumulative second blow. After all, no one can recover quickly from a man who has been hit by the target.

“…… Oops, she's coming. Hurry up and sit up, or she'll see you......"

When Yan Zhen fell into an anxious mood slightly. The "wounded" stood up.

"-What's wrong?"

The "wounded" felt a slight uneasiness in his heart.

…… Was it subtly unsettling him? There had been a similar relationship with the former deputy head of the joint with this general minister before, and he took the initiative to take a step back. But now he was not angry, but he was thinking about what he had just heard from him, but this time it seemed that his silence had alerted him.

“…… Oops. ”

I felt that Yan Zhen was about to take the initiative to give in again. And...... Without making any excuses, it's as if I'm voluntarily admitting that I did something wrong.

To put it another way,...... It's just that you can only suffer a loss.

Isn't this what he himself said just now, the "wounded" thought. And it will suffer again in some distant place, isn't it, thinking of this, the "injured" walked in the direction of Yan Zhen.

…… After all, I haven't even had a good conversation with him.

When the transport ship fell, he was slapped in the face because of his rash judgment. I want to apologize again for letting my feelings control and arbitrarily asserting that the other person is wrong, and I want to hear the reasons for stopping me, and other things. Therefore, I hope that if I can, I will be able to stand on the side of dialogue on an equal footing.

"What's wrong?"

"Is he guarding himself and backing away,...... It's not going to just disappear. ”

Thinking of this possibility for a moment, the "wounded" walked over with the book he was holding in his left hand under his armpit. Along the passage that the canine ghosts had away, he stood on tiptoe slightly towards the shadows of the sword group,

"Ahh Dangerous! ”

Because of Yan Zhen's voice, a stirring was struck, and the "injured" suddenly realized that the ground under his feet had become unsafe.

Step down under the right foot. The sword was drawn out of the ground and a hole was left with a hole because the stone had been dug out.

The "wounded" in a position where his foot was tripped by a hole and his toes slipped into the hole,

"Ahh With a thud, he fell forward.

Yan Zhen, who knows the plot, of course knows that near the face of the "wounded" falling, there is a hilt of a sword inserted there, although he knows that with the "wounded" himself, he should be able to dodge. However, if you have an upright blade, you may be able to cut to the right side of your body or shoulder.

Therefore, Yan Zhen is more upright than straight,

“……！”

Instead, he lifted his waist in a split second and flew between the "wounded" and the ground as if he was about to slip under his feet. In this way, he hugged the body of the "wounded" and turned half a circle in the opposite direction of the sword.

Then, it became a posture of Yan Zhen protecting the "wounded" under him on the passage where the sword was drawn and the stone was dug up.

For Yan Zhen, who has turned into a monster, this kind of action is easy, and the other party should not suffer any damage.

“…… Very good. After a sigh of relief. Yan Zhen stood up gently. Maintain the position of the "injured person" lying between the hands and knees. First, check the safety of your surroundings. In the distance, you can see a spring with water lilies floating in the distance. Then, turn your gaze back to the Forest of Swords. Next, I saw a splash of color hanging from the sword that had been inserted in the place where the wounded person had fallen. It was a patch of green, the color of the cloth. The cloak hood of the "wounded" was hung, and the cloth stretched all the way in the direction of the "wounded".

"I didn't expect it to be a step too late for protection." Thinking of this, Yan Zhen hurriedly looked down.

Then, between himself and the ground, Dian Zang thought of a four-word idiom. That is,

"How pretty!?"

To be precise. There lay a woman in a messy green cloak.

Yan Zhen looked at it carefully. Beneath the soft blonde hair, there are scars on the face that looks like a weeping expression, and there are scars on the cheeks that are dyed with a flush. Moreover, the cloak that has been half-stripped off looks really messy from the front.

"Compared to Mary in anime, Mary in reality is more beautiful."

Probably it would have caused an obstacle to the chest of the cloak, and there was no scarf on it. As a result, the uniform that had been pulled by the cloak from the action just now was tilted to the side, the protective gear on the chest was torn off, and the skin that was also covered with scars was being exposed. Twin peaks are in a state of being swelled by the pressure of the chest and torso on this side.

"That, that." The voice came. That's feminine. The voice of the "wounded". She spread her arms, but she didn't stretch them out. Instead, he put his elbows next to his ribs and stretched his hands weakly to the shoulders.

"That, that, very ...... Thank. ”

Regarding her weak voice, Yan Zhen just blurted out the words that came to mind: "Are you okay...... 'injured'?" ”

Asked like this, the injured man sighed slightly. Then, as if giving up, she said, "Jud......."

After speaking, she lowered her brows: "That, that, this." ”

It was difficult to hide the confused and confused voice and gaze, and seeing Mary's gaze cast at him, Yan Zhen seemed to remember something, and asked, "What's wrong?" 'Wounded'? ”

After saying that, Yan Zhen found that he was still pressing Mary under him, no matter what, it was very rude to press a woman under him. Therefore, Yan Zhen planned to move his body away from her.

"I think I'll regret it later. When he moved his body, this thought popped up in Yan Zhen's mind at the same time.

However, at this very time.

"That." The "wounded" pinched his arm with weak fingers to stop him.

Because, something that I didn't expect at all and broke the balance, so, it became closer to each other than just now, and Yan Zhen's cheeks could even feel her breath with temperature.

"That, that, the book...... Didn't you drop it? Saying this with tears in her eyes, Yan Zhen hurriedly began to find what Mary had said.

Pregnant. In what could be said to be her head, a book fell between the undrawn sword and the sword. When Yan Zhen handed back the book she had been holding in her hand, she saw the title of the book.

“…… ...... the Far Eastern Slang Dictionary? ”

"Great...... That, Milton said, 'If you expose to outsiders that you are a woman, you will be underestimated,' so I used this as a reference. ”

In response to this mutter, Yan Zhen reflexively responded: "Small, underestimate or something, there is absolutely no such thing!" ”

'If you look down, you'll get a ghost?' ’

Really wordy. But I thought,

"Don't worry. People in the Far East will never insult people like you. ”

Then, Yan Zhen continued: "...... It's hard, isn't it? It's hard to talk to me.

Despite this, the fact that you can talk to me is really a precious thing for Yan Zhen. “

After all that is said. Yan Zhen found that tears overflowed from the corners of the eyes of the "injured" who were slightly wide.

“yes！ Success left a good impression on Mary's mind. Although I thought so in my heart, I still had to say what I had to say: "Hug, I'm sorry." What did I do to hurt you—"

"-Ah, no, I am, yes, I'm sorry......"

On the cheeks of the "wounded" who wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands, tears were flowing down the scars, looking at the scars on his fingers and the wrinkles on the knuckles, the tears were more appropriate than flowing along them, and Yan Zhen finally regained his calm mind. At this time, what came to mind was, "Okay, keep it up." ”

When Yan really planned to slowly move away from her,

"That."

"Huh?"

When I got up slightly, I saw the "wounded" who was slightly wet with tears and had a faint flush on his cheeks. Her messy uniform chest still rose and fell with doubtful breathing, and she said, "I'm a woman, can I ask you to keep it a secret......

"That's ...... Why? ”

"It's going to make Milton and the others angry,...... I was scared too. ”

Of course, Yan Zhen knew who Milton she was talking about, so Yan Zhen replied to her like this: "No problem—I am the most stalkative man!" ”

“…… That's great. With a sigh of relief, the "wounded" closed his eyes with a relieved expression, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Hold down the plump chest with that expression and reassuring breathing, even,

"That, this...... I'll call you Yan Zhen-sama, is that okay? ”

Yan Zhen, who was so asked for advice, nodded and replied, "Yes!" ”

And there are already several people who call themselves like this, so, one more Mary, Yan Zhen said that he didn't have any pressure.

Then, at the same moment when Yan really wanted to get up. A voice came from the side of the transport, it was Signum's voice: "Lord Yan Zhen, Halleyson has woken up. (To be continued......)
