Chapter 94
「Sacrament is connected to the commonwealth . 」
After the two of us moved to my room, I grasped what Kran began to speak of at the edge of my conscious .
With warm sunlight shining in on the windowside sofa it’s very comfortable .
The sofa is also a high quality item so, I’m enveloped in a sensation that’s almost like I’m floating in the air .
……I’m sleepy .
「Alice . 」
「Haii, I’m not sleeping . 」
At Kran’s call as she sits next to me on the sofa, my conscious was awakened .
「If you sleep soon after eating, you will become a cow . 」
「I’ll be careful . 」
But wanting to sleep after eating is a physiological phenomenon isn’t it .
People have to endure various things don’t they .
「Be that as it may Kran, can you not distance your head from matters of work?」
I raised a slightly worried voice and, Kran made a troubled face .
「Do you dislike women who cannot understand how to use on and off?」
「Such a thing isn’t the case, though it does make me worry . 」
「Thank you very much . Also Alice, I am being pampered by you . Being able to speak of the things that I want to speak freely about, for women of my sort the country’s matters float into their head . 」
「Un, then it can’t be helped . 」
Forcibly trying to forget about things of concern causes the opposite effect I suppose .
You can’t leisurely rest with that .
「I am grateful . 」
「It’s fine you know, but, didn’t you say that Sacrament is neutral?」
「I did think that but, if that is the case then I cannot reach an explanation for Sacrament’s provocation . 」
The visibly transparent lie called a bandit disturbance, that huh……
「The result was that there was not major damage to either faction but, that is reasoning from the result . 」
「……」
As stated .
We were one step away from a great tragedy developing into an international problem .
On that note as I assume even just that was a huge problem, Maria-san didn’t want the problem to be blown out of proportion so she’s handling it well .
Be that as it may if Till hadn’t been in that place, what would have come of it……
「What I do not know is, why did Sacrament attempt that……self destructive selfish thing though . 」
To say that there were few casualties, it was a sudden combative conduct by transgressing on foreign
territory .
They caused something obvious in being criticized by Wilmington .
Even so the soldiers that might have been turned to ash by that Star Flare were, on Sacrament’s side for the most part .
That could be said to be what makes the problem complicated .
「Accusing Wilmington with a groundless charge of mass slaughter, is something that reduces international trust――Thinking in that sort of easy manner gives a failing score does it not . 」
That’s bad, it was a failing score……
Even though I didn’t say anything, Kran looked at me and smiled slightly .
「Because of that conduct, I sense their connection with the commonwealth . Maria thinks the same . 」
「Maria-san as well……」
If that person and Kran say it’s so then, isn’t that plenty enough to believe it even without proof .
「But why?」
At that question, Kran looked at me after facing her gaze toward a closed door further down the hallway .
From there she beckoned me with her hand, as if to bring me closer .
「?」
I approached Kran with a meekly obedient face .
Seeing her fluffy long eyelashes from the side brought out her allure .
Along with the mole under her left eye, Kran’s eye region gives a strong impression .
It’s very beautiful――and thinking that, my cheek was kissed .
In the blink of an eye, Kran came as such to stroke my cheek .
And so with a kind smile, her gaze faced not me but outside the window .
It was almost as if caressing a cat that approached her while she was in the middle of some sort of work .
……What is the meaning of this behavior?
「It somehow seems that crimson princess-kun, did not receive very good treatment in her own country did she . 」
Allowing Kran to act as she pleases for now, I drew close and thought .
「That is……」
Demon eye is it……
That power has currently, been entrusted to me .
Even if they try to use Eclair, as long as I’m here something like last time won’t happen .
In short the wording is poor but, there isn’t much value in using the current individual Eclair .
……No, she is extremely cute though isn’t she?
And if I’m their target then the value in using her is extreme though isn’t it .
And she’s cute though isn’t she!
「There are various things . 」
「Kusu, eei, I am sure that is so . And so along with that unfortunate handling, crimson princess was used like a sacrificial pawn . 」
Kran continued with a small voice .
What, is there a spy or such in this mansion?
「The problem is, the sort of matter of what sort of result they desired . 」
Sacrament……the result that that creepy man desired……?
「This is a conjecture but . 」
Kran paused for a beat and, her gaze became sharp .
「Without dirtying his own hand, he wanted a large amount of people to die . 」
Without dirtying his own hand, death……
「That is……!」
「It seems there is something you remember? Alice . 」
……There is .
「……Libra . 」
That red eyed ane-disciple comes to mind .
Remembering back to having my back taken easily, I naturally shivered .
「Eei, that girl desired souls . I really do not think just anyone could do such a thing . 」
「……Does that imply that Libra has underground connections?」
Commonwealth, Austia, furthermore……even Sacrament?
「I do not believe it is a good move to give them too much time, if they are doing some sort of experiment . 」
「Even, even if you say such a thing! For war to come from us――mugugu!?」
Being surprised I ended up raising a loud voice, my mouth was sealed by Kran .
I’m sorry……
Conveying my intent to repent with my gaze, I was quickly released .
「Clear out falling embers in advance . I, do not believe that to be a bad thing . 」
In truth I don’t understand what that bothersome ane-disciple is doing but……
The one thing I can say is, regarding overlooking Libra’s scheme as it is, that’s the sort thing where even without addressing the risks I can imagine there’s no choice .
Since modern law has the principle of presumption of innocence, I feel that preemptive attacks are radical though……
「As I am a person entrusted with the country, I must consider the worst case . 」
「Kran……」
「Alice, if there is something happening in the kingdom that could drag you into it please flee to the principality . Surely Maria would handle it well afterwards . 」
Kran expressed a soft smile .
「――I respectfully decline . 」
I answered decisively here .
「If Libra comes, I will bring this to a close . 」
「But, it will be troubling if you lose yourself again . 」
Kran seemingly purposefully, held the base of my neck and looked at it .
There’s no longer a mark there .
But thinking back to that vibrant sensation, I knew that my face was heated .
「That, that difference in true power has gone away . I won’t have my back taken simply anymore!」
「That is doubtful . 」
「U……」
That doubt is reasonable .
That person is strong .
It’s frustrating but, leaving that one point there’s no room for doubt .
「……Fufu, how-ever! That girl’s opponent will not be me but, my teacher! There’s no problem at all!」
「……」
Loudly announcing that, Kran gave me a cold gaze as a present……
「――Oi, that idiot disciple over there . 」
And so knocking on an open door from the rooms behind me, my teacher’s voice called me .
With her hair still down, and furthermore in a slovenly negligee form……
「Aah, in front of a guest……that’s embarrassing . 」
「Like I know . More importantly as I am going out, you should help with the arrangements . 」
「……I’m told that but?」
I asked the guest sitting next to me .
「I do not mind you know . 」
「Good grief . 」
Leaving the arrangements for each and every thing around her to her attendant (me?) and the like is like a noble but, in regards to Till it feels like a child throwing a tantrum .
「Noble young daughter, I am going to your house . 」
「Mine……?」
Her face was like a pigeon that ate a peashooter .
She was taken by surprise to an extent that was rare for Kran .
「I’m going to check on Romus’s state and such――」
