"Ahri. Although she was very dizzy now, Ariel leaned into Anne's arms and looked at Ahri, who was standing motionless in front of her.

"That, yes. Ahri just answered and lowered his head.

It seems that Ariel has discovered something, and although she is very good at lying, Ahri is still a little weak because of the haste in which she prepares.

"Raise your head. Ariel was rarely serious, and even Anne beside her sensed that something was wrong with Ariel.

"Ariel, what's wrong with you?" asked Anne. "Don't you usually like animal ears?

"It's not a matter of liking it or not. Ariel looked directly at Ahri, who was looking at herself, but her gaze was still a little evasive.

"Let me ask you, what is your relationship with the commander of the beast clan. ”

"Orc Commander?" Chris was taken aback, "Is that the tiger?"

"No, it's a fox, and it's the guy who makes Chris suffer you. ”

"Could it be that she's a spy too?" said Chris as he drew his sword, making Ahri tremble all the time.

(Of course, this is also pretended.) ）

"I always felt that something was wrong with her. I didn't expect it to be. ”

"Love Ariel, I'm not a spy, really. Ahri said with tears in her eyes: "Believe me, I'm really not." ”

"So how do you explain why you're eight points similar to that fox? If it's a relative of that guy or something, it's perfect for you to do a task like stealth. Ariel paused: "Moreover, during the first war, I also felt that something was wrong when the orc army suddenly stopped harassing me, and I wondered if there was a mole at that time." ”

"It's not me, it's really not me. Ahri said as she stepped back. But one of Chris's swords was right around her neck.

"I wish it wasn't you, too. Ariel sighed, "If you're a spy, after all." There are countless opportunities for us to do our lunch, even if you are weak. But you'll have to give me an explanation that I don't think is yours. ”

"But......" Ahri feigned reluctance.

"Hey, Brother Chris. Frey's voice came from outside the door.

However, when she saw the sword above Ahri's neck, Frey didn't react.

"What are you doing with your sword hanging from Sister Ahri's neck?"

From what angle did you observe this hanging?

Seeing that Frey was coming, Chris had no choice but to put down his sword, otherwise it would have a bad impact on the underage.

With so many people there, even if Ahri was really a spy and wanted to escape, there was no possibility.

"I know Ahri. You've been taking care of Frey, so I've always considered you my friend. ”

Ahri's body trembled, but because Ahri had been trembling before, no one cared.

"If you wanted to be us, maybe we would have gone to see the goddess a long time ago, but, at least I hope you can say something about you, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know your relationship with that beast fox. ”

"He's my brother. Ahri sighed. Still opened his mouth.

"But he's not my own brother. ”

So you like that kind of Ernie sauce play?

"No, I don't like him at all. Ahri shook her head. "The status of our fox clan has always been very low in the beast clan, basically at the bottom. Those boys might have a little higher status if they were wise, but we

A girl's fate is fixed from birth. ”

"I know that. Chris said in a low voice: "Generally speaking, the men of the fox clan are sold to some noble ladies because of their outstanding appearance, and if they have wisdom, they can stay in the beast clan." As for the girls, they're basically playthings belonging to the beast clan. Some of them have also flowed into the empire through the black market, and I have also managed them. But it is difficult to eradicate. ”

"Is that so?" said Ariel.

"That's right, my brother has always been appreciated for his outstanding intelligence, and in order to get a position similar to that of a military advisor, he plans to give me to that nasty tiger. ”

“...... And then?"

"I didn't have much hope because that's my destiny. But my brother actually tried to ...... the night before she gave me to the Tiger King."

“...... Needless to say, I understand. "Ariel didn't want Frey to hear anything unhealthy.

"I've always disliked him, and this time he did it again, so I stabbed him with a knife. Then he stole his token and ran away from the orcs. ”

"We finally met him in the Bloodthirsty Forest, didn't we?" Seeing Ahri's tears, Ariel could more or less understand Ahri's mood.

But at least the doubts in my heart have been dispelled.

"I'm sorry Ahri. I asked you something like this. ”

"It's fine. Ahri shook her head: "It's my fault, it's hiding something from me." ”

"You can rest assured. Ariel patted her breastless chest. "If the war is won, I will surely make your people live happily. Isn't it, Chris?"

"Well, of course, every race should be equal. This is obviously what he should say, but Chris agrees with Ariel.

"Thank you, thank you. Ahri cried and knelt down, but her face was not moved, but struggled.

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

"Brother, what should I do?" After the suspicion was resolved, Ahri stood alone in his room.

His palms were covered with sweat, and Ahri clutched a small bag tightly.

She knew that Ariel's assurances weren't joking on her, and she wasn't interested in orc wars.

Obviously, they already trust themselves so much, but they still use lies to deceive.

For the first time, Ahri was annoyed that she had such a gift.

Although what he said before, except for the fact that the relationship with his brother is not good, everything else is true.

But now the status of his own clan seems to have improved with the efforts of his brother.

The rest is just what my brother thinks, and I don't know what the plan is.

Ahri doesn't want Ariel to leave them like this, but her brother's orders must be fulfilled as well.

Then, there is only such a compromise.

"Ariel, I'm sorry. ”

After whispering softly, Ahri slowly walked out the door.

(Today's second shift, finally home, all kinds of happy, ready to bomb up on the weekend.) ）
