"Afternoon?"

Einstein pondered for a moment and replied.

"It wasn't anything important, just a gathering among the finalists of the Great Martial Arts Festival. ”

It didn't seem to matter much, so Lucia bit the ice cream scoop and decided to climb back into bed and do a second back-call, which was the back-up of the go-to.

Jonathan was stunned and waited for the pair to say, 'It's a joke', but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Lucia or Einstein speaking again, and Jonathan had to accept the fact that the master and servant really thought so.

"No, no, no, no, it's weird, right?!The gathering between the contestants of the finals of the Great Martial Arts Festival is big enough, right?!"

"Huh?!"

Lucia was so startled that the spoon fell from between her lips and she didn't notice it.

"Why are you so surprised?!"

Jonathan felt that he should be the one who was most surprised, especially after making sure that Lucia was really surprised.

"Why?"

Jonathan clutched his head in distress.

"Why is it that the Great Martial Arts Festival, which was supposed to be a national event, has become a trivial matter that is more inconspicuous than lunch here?"

Lucia wiped the spoon that had fallen on the table with a napkin and stuffed it into her mouth again.

"That's because our lives are more exciting than the Great Martial Arts Festival, right?"

Hearing Lucia say this, Jonathan was even more distressed, distressed by this heart-wrenching fact, and incidentally worried about whether to tell Lucia that the spoon she picked up from the dining table should at least be washed and reused.

Jonathan knew that Lucia was completely right, and it was because she was completely correct that people had to accept this painful fact. When did it start to get farther and farther away from normal life? Probably from the time he was caught by Einstein, he was doomed to end up like this.

Ignoring Jonathan's distress, Lucia turned her head to Einstein.

"I'm going to play with you if it's a big deal, no problem, Einstein. ”

Einstein, who regarded his master as more important than the world, immediately gave an answer.

"Of course, it is better to say that the presence of our lord will sublimate the wine of this mountain monkey to a higher level. ”

- No, at least ask the organizers. Jonathan also knew that even if he said it, not only would he not be approved, but he might be pitted by Einstein again, so Jonathan was wise to just think about it.

"Then no problem, I'll go play with you. ”

Speaking of playing, Lucia remembered Lulu, and it was a miracle that Lulu didn't make any sound when she was so clingy when she ate.

"Lulu, do you want to play together?"

Hearing Lucia talking to herself, Lulu lifted her little head from the food, her cheeks stuffed like a little squirrel.

Seeing Lucia looking at herself, Lulu blushed, quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, and nodded busily.

"Uh-huh~. ”

The answer is yes, but Lucia always feels that Lulu is a little different from usual, it should be that she didn't hear Lulu's cheerful echo, usually Lulu has an atmosphere that can be cheerful as long as she encounters a little happiness, but during the meal, Lulu will be more serious?

Feeling a little strange, Lucia approached Lulu and looked at Lulu carefully from head to toe, but she didn't find any clues.

"Why doesn't Lulu speak?"

Asked by Lucia, Lulu looked at the slices of meat on the fork in her hand in embarrassment, then at Lucia, at the slices of meat, and then at Lucia.

――Isn't it obvious that I am entangled at a glance, but I am also very entangled....... Jonathan listened to the conversation between Lucia and Lulu, and always felt that he really couldn't get along, Lulu just didn't talk at the dinner table, Lucia immediately cared, and no one looked at him for holding his head for so long.

With the last expectation, Jonathan quietly glanced at Einstein, the reason why he chose Einstein is very simple, because Miss Lucia is caring about Lulu, and he is embarrassed to steal business with the little girl.

The dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Jonathan soon noticed that Einstein was also looking at him, but instead of the concern that Jonathan expected, there was a smile in his eyes, and Einstein's sharp gaze, which seemed to see through everything, faintly revealed the meaning of 'Are you being funny?'.

Well, there would be expectations for this black-hearted butler, Jonathan himself felt that he was making a fool, and he would have gone to the eldest lady if he had known it, at least he would not be despised.

Regardless of Jonathan's treatment, Lulu finally chose between food and Lucia.

Lulu put down the fork in her hand and said in a serious little adult tone.

"Food is precious, and Lulu doesn't speak when she eats out of respect for food. ”

This is the attitude of life learned by the orphans living at the bottom of the society, these orphans have little access to real food, most of the time they can't even eat leftovers, and when they are hungry, they will even rely on rotten and filthy dead rats or fresh garbage to survive, for Lulu, who was once one of those orphans, these clean and delicious meals are simply priceless.

Only those who have truly experienced the deadly hunger will understand the preciousness of food in this way.

But even so, Lulu still chose Lucia.

"Oooo

Lucia took Lulu into her arms.

"Lulu is such a good boy!"

Then he just hugged Lulu and began to circle around the restaurant.

Although she didn't understand it very well, it was praised by Lucia, which made Lulu very happy, so Lulu hugged Lucia's neck and laughed happily.

“......。 ”

Jonathan squinted at the two girls, one big and one young, playing in the dining room, and he felt that he might not be able to understand the rules of behavior of children in his lifetime, but it was really warm to watch.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

Einstein glanced at Jonathan out of the corner of his eye, and then watched his master play with a smile on his face.

"My lord is just happy that the toys are good. ”

Jonathan rolled his eyes covertly. No matter how warm the picture is, this black-hearted housekeeper can pour out the dark taste with a basin of cold water, and thanks to the beautiful heart of the eldest lady, she was not taught bad by this black-hearted housekeeper.

May the eldest lady never become like Einstein.

At this moment, Jonathan, who has no faith, prays to all the gods in his heart.

――――[Dividing Line]――――

At the gates of Wintercastle, many people are here.

These people are not here to go out of the city, but to see the warriors who entered the finals of the Great Martial Arts Festival this time, simply put, to see the excitement.

Reinhardt took out his pocket watch from time to time to check the time, thirty minutes had passed since the appointed time, and the expected finalists were almost complete. That's right, the Great Martial Arts Festival is an international competition, this competition determines the pinnacle of martial artists, and everyone regards this event as very important, not to mention the warriors who can make it to the finals, they are honored and see this competition as glory...... That's how it should be.

"It's too slow, are you going to have so many of us here waiting for an idiot who can't even be punctual?"

It was Hancock King, the chief knight of Heberis, who spoke, and there was already a wave of anger in his tone.

Note that it is the Knight Chief, not the Knight Commander, who is in charge of a Knight Order, and the Knight Chief is the big man who holds all the knights in the whole country.

"Please wait a little longer, after all, they are the same warriors, and I am sure that the gentleman must have been late for some reason. ”

Hancock's anger didn't affect Reinhardt at all.

As a military giant who also holds great power, Reinhardt and Hancock are not the first time they have met, so Reinhardt knows that this knight has a temper, strict, irritable and ruthless in his words and actions, but he is essentially an honest and strict knight, and even this anger has the right reason.

Hancock's eyes widened...... Then he sulked and left.

"Humph!"

The sound of this snort before leaving was enough to indicate the level of the knight's atmosphere, but after all, he was an honest knight, and Hancock couldn't do anything to anger others.

Reinhardt smiled wryly and looked at the time again.

"Hah....... ”

Even Reinhardt couldn't help but sigh. Recently, there have been too many things to worry about, which makes this iron-cast soldier feel desolate.

The Great Martial Arts Festival is a stage of glory for the warriors, and it is a serious and important event, and no one should be late...... But someone was late.

Einstein Leviathan, that's the name of that latecomer. Reinhardt remembered very well the handsome young face, the young master with peerless beauty, and the powerful force that this handsome young man disguised.
