Chapter 52: A Promise Under the Stars
Today, the Wushu Conference entered the semi-final stage, but Reilly was no longer interested in watching it.
Both Kim's team and Levy's team have the strength to crush the other two teams. Even if they meet in a narrow way, Levi will give the victory to Joshua, so there is no need to watch the rest of the game.
In fact, the direction of the race did not surprise Reilly. Kim and Levy met the Crutz squad and Capua's family, respectively, and won the game with ease.
At this time, Reilly went to the Edel department store to buy snacks again.
"That~a, that~...... Sister, she has been ignoring me lately. It's so lonely...... "The salesman Mitty muttered to her sister as usual. And when she noticed that Reilly was already standing in front of the counter, the little girl immediately blushed: "Just now, what I just said doesn't count!"
"Oh, let's talk about something else. Reilly said with a smile.
"Anyway, my sister has been very indifferent lately!" said Mitie without hesitation, "So, so, she is not suitable to be a black tea salesman!"
"Well, you're going to have to work harder. Reilly gave a thumbs up and said, "Be sure to impress Miss Kitty!"
"Hmm!" Mitty nodded vigorously, and then blushed again, "Who, who cares what my sister thinks!"
"Ahaha~"
(This girl also has tsundere attributes, it's really getting cuter)
That night, Joshua and Estelle met a beautiful woman in the Great Sanctuary of Grantelle.
"I am the captain of the Royal Guard, Lieutenant Yulia Schwartz. ”
"Well, why is Miss Yulia dressed up as a nun?" asked Estelle, puzzled.
"The relationship between the Seven Jewels Church and the Liber royal family has been very close for a long time. Yulia said: "Because of Colonel Richard's machinations, we had to live on the run. With the help of the church, I have finally persevered to this day. ”
"I see...... Why are you calling us here, though?"
"Actually, I have one thing I want to ask you for. Yulia thought for a moment and said, "If you can win tomorrow's final, you can attend the dinner held in the royal city." At that time, I hope you will be able to meet Her Majesty. ”
“......”
“......”
Hearing her words, both Estelle and Joshua were stunned.
"I know it's selfish to make this request...... But we are wanted by the Kingdom Army and have no chance to infiltrate the royal city. So I can only ask you. Yulia said uneasily.
"Uh...... That's a coincidence. Estelle said with a smile.
"We are here to meet Her Majesty the Queen. With that, Joshua told Yulia about Reston Fortress and Dr. Russell's commission.
"So there is such a thing...... Goddess~ Thank you for your mercy. Yulia took a deep breath and said, "In that case, there is only one thing I want to ask you to do: I hope you will have a good talk with His Majesty, who is in deep trouble." ”
"Well, we were going to do that. Estelle agreed.
"Although the Association has a statute of non-interference in the internal affairs of the State, it cannot sit idly by now. Joshua smiled and said, "We will do our best to help you if we can." ”
"Thank you so much. Yulia smiled and said, "So, please take this." ”
"What is this?"
"A letter of introduction to Madame Hildan, the governor of the court. Yulia said with a solemn face: "Now, Your Majesty should still be under the surveillance of those spies...... Only Madame Hildan, who served her closely, could figure out a way for you to see Your Majesty. ”
"Understood. Joshua nodded and said, "After entering the city, let's go and talk to her." ”
"Please. ”
After leaving the Great Church, Estelle and Joshua escaped the night patrol and unwittingly found themselves in a small square surrounded by greenery.
"There seem to be fewer soldiers here. Estelle said, looking into the distance.
"yes, the night patrol looks like it's coming to an end. Joshua nodded and said, "Let's rest and go back to the hotel." ”
"Hmm!"
With that, the two sat down on a nearby bench.
"Ah~ With so much going on, my mind is a little foggy. Estelle sighed and said.
"Haha, that's right!" Joshua said with a smile, "I was shocked when I found that anonymous letter in the guest room." Unexpectedly, the person waiting for us in the Great Sanctuary was Lieutenant Yulia. ”
"By the way, who did Joshua think was the messenger at first?" Istelle asked curiously, "Is it someone we've met before?"
"That's ......" Joshua subconsciously opened his mouth, then fell silent again.
"Ah...... Sorry when I didn't say. Estelle shook her hand and said, "Foul, foul." ”
"Estelle ......"
"I won't ask you about your previous experiences until Joshua himself is willing to say it. Estelle said embarrassedly: "Although I often remind myself, I accidentally forget it~"
“...... Astelle, I ...... Traveling with you, I feel a lot stronger than before......"
"Huh?"
"Under this sky, there are all kinds of people living and they are going through all kinds of lives...... The thoughts of countless people converged and compiled the trajectory of fate...... Every time I feel this, it's like I've found what I've lost. ”
"Joshua?"
"Maybe it's a delusion......," Joshua shook his head and said, "Still, I have to thank the Goddess, the Father, and ...... You. ”
"Joshua, You ......"
"So, let's just make an agreement. Joshua took a deep breath and said, "If this matter can be resolved, my father will return safely...... I'll tell you all about my previous experiences. ”
"Really, really?" asked Istelle, incredulous.
"Hmm. Joshua nodded vigorously and said, "It's an appointment under this starry sky." ”
“...... Okay, I've decided!" Istelle jumped off the bench suddenly.
"Estelle?"
"How so...... The gloom in my heart has been swept away. Estelle smiled and said, "When these things are over, I have something to say to Joshua."
"Hey...... Uh, is that something you've been worrying about lately?"
"Yes, yes, that's it. Estelle's face blushed slightly: "Hehe, I'm ready." ”
"Ready...... Isn't that a bothersome thing? ...... you say it now."
"No~okay! To say that kind of thing, you have to choose the timing. Estelle said embarrassedly, "Although the atmosphere is good now......"
"I don't understand it very well, though...... For the sake of our agreement, we must win tomorrow's game!"
"Of course, how can we let those guys stop us?" said Estelle, shaking her fist hard, "Watch me fly them with the power of a maiden!"
"Fly ...... Scold...... Call...... Aha!" Joshua laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: "You...... Really...... It's a father's daughter!"
"Well, that's really annoying. Estelle pouted and said, "How am I like that bad middle-aged man?"
"Well, yes. Joshua smiled and said, "Tomorrow's final, I also have the confidence to win." ”
