Chapter 20 Secret Meaning~~
To be honest, the palace's thanks are not good, it is just a meaningless waste of space, showing the so-called royal family's domineering spirit, and as a guest, there will definitely not be the kind of treatment of the royal family...... For example, the bathhouse, there are not many surprises. The rumored royal bathhouse is the size of a lake, and it's a lie. Tifa said it was about the same as Ian's family.
After all, it is a small country, and it is understandable that it does not have the style of waving hands like a big country...... Even though the bathhouse seems to be public.
When Tifa arrived at the bathhouse, someone had already washed it again.
Two girls, an orange-haired girl and a blue-haired girl, sat in the bath with her eyes closed, and let the orange-haired girl stand by the bath and scrub her hair with shampoo...... Don't ask why there are so few adjectives and sentences in this scene, and if you use too much, it is eighteen forbidden. And there is no need to describe it at all, because - this is not the peasant girl with a food stall I met a few days ago?
Holding a bath towel in his hand, he was stunned for a moment, and Tifa cautiously approached. "Sure enough, why are you here?" After looking closely, he was sure that he didn't recognize the wrong person, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Ahh Because of this, his foot slipped and he fell into the bath.
The huge splash of the waves made the other girl in the bath frown, and then opened her eyes. He looked at Tifa with a blank face.
“...... It's not my fault, is it?" she fell on her own, staring at the girl, and Tifa looked away a little uncomfortably.
Her hair color is the same, and her blue and bright eyes seem to be able to see through other people's inner worlds. All in all, the first impression that people have at first glance is a strange girl.
"Are you guests too?" Tifa chatted as she slowly soaked in the bath as she got used to the hot water.
"Whew~~~" Yin, who crawled out again, shook the water stains on his hair. "I'm not, I'm just on the way with her, well, she's my savior. "Continue with the previous work of scrubbing your hair.
"That's it......" I didn't understand what I was talking about, but that's it...... That one...... Gratitude and the like.
"My name is Tifa, what's your name?" Tifa introduced herself, looking at the girl with a calm face.
"The princess, there is no one in this world. The girl spoke, but what came out was inexplicable. "Follow the country's army and you should find your target in three days. It seemed that the silver had been washed, and as the lather of the shampoo ran completely down her hair, the girl slowly stood up from the bath.
It was just a moment, a moment that made Tifa wonder if there was something wrong with her eyes, and the girl who stood up from the bath had already finished changing her clothes. Under the thin black and blue-edged cape, a girl's shirt in light gray tones was replaced, and below was a short black skirt that reached just to the knees.
"One last piece of advice, don't get too caught up in illusory feelings. With the figure gone, the whisper left behind was transmitted.
"......" So in the end, I didn't tell myself my name after talking so much...... It would be nice to just say that I don't like to make friends with strangers. I see, the second girl, Tifa retracted her gaze speechlessly. "Won't you come with her?" asked the peasant girl strangely at the end.
"Huh?" was stunned as he carefully scooped up the silver from the wooden basin. "Why?"
“...... Didn't you say it yourself just now, life-saving benefactor, looking at your appearance, aren't you planning to follow her?" Don't ask Tifa why she thinks like this, the plot of third-rate novels is basically like this, the young girl is saved, and she has followed the protagonist with all her heart from then on.
"I've repaid the favor, she's been eating several times in the past few days. And she said that this was already satisfied. Apparently in a good mood, Silver smiled optimistically and cheerfully. "What's more, she said that my Xiaohong is not dead, as long as she follows the army of this country for three days, she can find it naturally. ”
"Do you mean that the life-saving benefactor you mean that she saved your life?" "You don't suspect that she lied to you?"
But she said she never lied. ”
"This sentence is a problem in itself!"
"She doesn't look like a liar, she's a pampered lady, and she doesn't even know how to wash her hair. With his index finger on his lips, Silver spoke his guess.
"In other words, you don't know her very well. Tifa, who came to this conclusion, sighed.
"No, I still know who she is. Sure enough, the bath was still too deep for her small body. The foot tried to reach in, but couldn't. Silver face shows the disappointment of not being able to enjoy the bath. "She is the sage of the day. The tone of distraction seemed to say something terrible.
“...... Huh?" "It's like asking someone who the gringo who happened to pass by is, and the other party says that guy is American Superman! "Self-proclaimed?" the egg continued to ask in pain.
What is the concept of a sage, for example, if there are very few Dharma saints in this world, but if you inquire carefully, you still find more than a dozen. However, there is only one in every era that bears the title of sage. The sage means the strongest of this era.
"No, she didn't tell me who she was. Silver shook his head. Said the king of the country. "I followed the sage into the palace. I also heard something from the audience, and together I received the highest treatment in this country.
It was obviously a chat that had no intention of passing the time, but hearing such content, Tifa's brain was a little shut.
For a long time –
“...... Should I go back to her now and ask for an autograph? ”
