"So, don't you think you should ask your Knight Master to explain this?"

Anne was attacked by the Knights led by Christina, and Edward would not have believed it if it weren't for Anne and Ariel's own words.

You know, Christina has been her friend for a long time, and her relationship with Louise is also very good, how could she attack Louise's daughter.

There must be a reason.

"I'm sorry, because Her Highness Anne is disturbing the order of my holy city, it is necessary for me to arrest and interrogate her. ”

"Order? The slave trade can also be called order?"

"The personnel of the Reich have no right to comment on our country. ”

"Tina, Captain, you've really grown up a lot. After a long time, Hagen sighed: "I'm disappointed. ”

“......”

"Okay, okay, you two are also acquaintances, don't argue. ”

After the atmosphere fell silent, the Pope said: "This is it, Christina, your position as head of the Order is temporarily canceled, go and rest for a few days, and in the meantime, you can still retain the command." ”

"Your Majesty?"

"Go ahead, I'm almost going to preach. ”

―――――――――――――――― ――――――――――――――――――――――

To be honest, looking back now, the first time she saw Edward, Christina had an indescribable feeling.

At that time, he was secretly trying to molest Lori with two other guys who didn't look like good people, although Edward was bitten on the finger by one of them.

When the three of them spotted him, Edward waved at him with a suspicious blush on his face and explained something. Although that encounter made a very bad impression on me. But that's how I got to know that group of friends.

"Tina, what are you thinking?"

Edward's voice beside him startled Christina, who was reminiscing.

Maybe he only spoke because the atmosphere was relatively silent when the two of them left.

"I'm thinking about all the things on guard. ”

Christina, who had turned her head away, blushed, and it would be over if she let him know that she was thinking about Edward.

"Tina is still so serious. Edward looked at Tina beside him, as if he hadn't seen her in a while. Tina's has become more beautiful again, and the heroic spirit that exudes all the time on her body is also more sufficient.

It's really hard to imagine that she is the stupid little girl back then.

"I'm sorry about what happened just now, after all, it's a necessary means, and I can't help it. ”

"It's okay, I didn't care. ”

Having said this, the expression on Christina's face softened a lot.

"Still, I'll never believe that you were the one who went after Anne. Edward detoured in front of Christina, his eyes fixed on her. "You're not going to be that, are you. ”

"I ......"

"I've heard that a Divine Descendant has descended on your Holy City, right, did she mean it?"

“......”

"Can I see her?"

"I'm sorry. ”

After much hesitation, Christina still said: "The Progenborn is not here, she has gone to the empire alone, please let Anne be careful." ”

"Sure enough, though. Edward said as he touched Christina's head. "I knew you wouldn't be that kind of person, Tina. ”

By. Touched on the head!

Christina's face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and in her panic, she could only find an excuse to divert the topic, "Besides, we've met the gods, Eden, do you remember?"

"Eden?ah, it's that slime. Now it's in trouble. Edward said, "Do you know why she did this, is there some other purpose?"

"I don't know. Christina shook her head: "His Royal Highness Eden is just a simple order, he didn't say the reason, in short, please be careful." ”

"Okay, I see, since she's not in the Holy City either. Then there's no point in me staying here, I have to go back quickly. ”

"Then, that Edward!"

Just as Edward was about to leave, Christina suddenly stopped him, "That, I, I'll send you." ”

――――――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――――――――

Although it was loose, the road was not very far, but Christina, who had been keeping her eyes on the ground since then, made Edward very concerned.

It's as if there's something to say.

"This kind of thing called an auction is actually a place where the slave trade takes place. ”

Edward pointed to the ornately decorated buildings on either side and said, "Usually the ordinary auction is used to confuse people, and at the end of the auction, the slaves are brought up and sold, am I right?"

"Ah, yes, yes. ”

"What does Tina think, don't you hate this kind of thing?"

"I'm just a member of the Order. Christina's expression looked a little helpless, "Actually, I also dislike this kind of thing, but the knights, who are only prepared for law and order and war, have no right to manage these, and basically some bishops are in charge."

Moreover, if it does not attract those who have money in this way, it will be difficult for the economy of the Holy City to sustain itself. ”

After all, are you still a rich man?

However, there is no killing without buying and selling, and if no one opens such an auction house, no one will catch slaves.

If Ariel had done it, it might have been improved in other ways, and sure enough, they were all freaks.

"Alright, I'm almost at the city gate, I'll just leave by myself. ”

After walking to the city gate in silence, Edward was about to leave, but at this moment, Christina, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her head as if she had taken a hormone.

"That's Edward. ”

"Huh, what's the matter?"

"I, I like you!"

“......”

Like me?

The problem is that I'm getting old, and I have a terrible and jealous wife who threatens me with violence at every turn.

Edward, who was stunned for a while, suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, yes, yes, our little Tina can already tell jokes, what a big improvement." ”

"I'm serious, I didn't understand it when I was young, but now I finally understand my own thoughts!"

...... Is this a test? Like testing oneself to be single-minded or something.

Damn, Nana's claws have reached Tiny Tina?

But looking at Christina's expression, it didn't look like she was testing herself.

"Edward, brother, what do you think?

Seeing that Edward did not react, Christina asked again.

“......”

Is this to open a harem? Anyway, why Tina likes her, Edward doesn't know at all.

I'm just here to deliver the letter, so spare me. (To be continued......)
