135 – Platinum and Sunflowers – (2)

“Freed.”

“Yes.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Um… …. The weather is nice.”

Late afternoon, the inner courtyard.

Usually, it was a place where the people of the imperial palace would enjoy a leisurely holiday afternoon, but it was currently under control under the orders of Emperor Lincia.

Maybe that’s why there was no one coming and going, so I felt it was quiet, but on the other hand, I could feel stinging gazes through the windows of the introspective hallway surrounding the courtyard.

It must be because everyone was curious about what kind of secret conversation the Empress and the Guardian Guard were having in the courtyard.

“Freed.”

Lyncia suddenly called my name, and I suddenly raised my head. Then, Lyncia’s expression, which looked visibly displeased, caught my eye.

After the conversation with Millia a moment ago, she brought me here with the expression that she was very upset with her.

“You don’t seem to remember leaving me, do you?”

“Kuhm. That… ….”

“All right.”

Lyncia took the lead with strides.

As for her, she had no choice but to follow her politely with her hands together.

In this place, it’s just the two of us, Lincia and I. It seemed that Lucy, who had to take care of herself, was still being scolded by Coreld.

“Besides.”

Xia Lin suddenly stopped in her seat and she glanced back at me.

The oddly reddish look on her face made me think she was quite angry.

“Does it disappear in the blink of an eye? A protector of the border who should guard the emperor’s side like a shadow?”

“Sorry. I thought the old man’s nagging would go on for a little longer.”

“… ….”

“Just to see the state of the Royal Guard. Isn’t this also one of the duties of a national guard?”

“Puch.”

If we go to the conclusion, even Lyncia will have nothing to say. She

She puffed out her cheeks, then she let go of her expression as if she had finally given up. But I still hesitate, wondering if I was bothered by the polite conversation.

“Hey, Fried.”

“Yes.”

“You know that. Do you remember?”

Lin Xia suddenly asked, and I tilted her head.

Do you remember, what are you talking about?

When I gave a lukewarm response, Lyncia reluctantly pointed at my waist.

“That’s it.”

“Ah, are you talking about Ernst?”

“Yes.”

I brought out Ernst at Lyncia’s words.

“So why is this?”

“Ugh.”

Lin Xia let out a deep sigh, then lifted her head slightly.

“The sword, I gave it to you.”

“Yes. You’re right.”

“… ….”

It was the sword that Lyncia gave you at the mausoleum right before going to Lumen-El. Since she was the royal family’s treasure, her value could not be converted into simple money.

“So, I gave it to you.”

“Yes.”

“… ….”

Lin Xia stabbed my chest with her sheep that she still doesn’t understand.

“Because I gave it to you too.”

“…… Ah.”

I started to understand.

The one I gave the sword to Milia a while ago. Were you concerned about that?

Now that it’s like this, it’s probably easier to match Lynthia’s beat.

“That’s right. Lin Xia also gifted her sword. A sword superior to anything else in the world.”

“Right?”

“Well, he took it away once in the middle.”

After saying that skillfully, Lin Xia clenched her fists.

“No, of course I think it was inevitable. Didn’t you summon the Spirit King to Lynthia’s base and punish the apostles?”

“Why do you add sounds that you don’t have to do, Fried?”

Lin Xia smiled incredulously, then looked up at the sky.

Clear skies. And on a sunny summer day. Unbelievably good weather.

Lynxia let her shoulders droop as if her heart had been relieved by that weather.

“Well, that’s all right. Fried is always like this.”

“hahahaha.”

Somehow, it was a conversation like a boredom lover.

Lin Xia turned her body.

“Let’s go.”

“Where are you talking?”

“The gymnasium. I have something to do.”

Lynxia, who was walking in front of her, cautiously turned her head.

“Dah, are you following me?”

“Yes.”

“There is no running away again.”

“I won’t run away.”

At those words, Lynxia seemed relieved and started to walk towards her.

Courtyard on a sunny summer day.

A white girl walking with this in the background.

Lyn Xia was also wearing a plain white suit because the day was hot, but she was pure white with her white hair, the hem of her dress, and even her white legs stretched out underneath it.

Her back was so cute that a smile leaked out.

“Oh, Lincia.”

“Huh?”

“The sword was given to you.”

“…… Why?”

I smiled.

“Do you remember? I also gave you the family dagger, so I’m sorry…….”

Kong.

Before she could finish her words, her quill flew from Lyn Xia’s arms and stuck into the crown of her head. She

She Of course she wasn’t sick, so she decided to just let it go.

*

Since then, more time has passed and the imperial court has arrived.

Before I knew it, Lyn Xia, who had changed into her tight dance uniform, came and stood in front of me.

Outside of her, for safety reasons or just for observation, Yuri Erd was watching us with her arms crossed.

“Then let’s begin.”

“Yes.”

Lin Xia repeated her deep breathing, then she raised one hand and began to focus her mind.

Before long, the mana in her air began to spread to the ground as if it were gradually melting, and a pattern in the shape of a huge supercube was revealed.

“Whoa.”

I’ve seen Seira cast her magic a few times, but it was a different experience for Lyncia to use it.

Eventually, Lynxia lifted her hand and her magic circle soared into the sky.

“The Spirit King!”

Paaa!

Koo Goo Goo!

From there, the shape of a huge giant, the Spirit King, appeared.

The spirit king’s body appeared with a roar. A stocky body clad in thick armor. The legs standing firmly on the ground were several times thicker than the pillars of the imperial palace, and looked dozens of times stronger.

What about the scepter in her hand? If I wielded that, the resistance, including the courtyard, would probably fall helplessly.

“Huh.”

“I did it!”

Lyncia struggled with joy.

She was taken aback. It was because she never thought that no matter how much Lynxia had grown, she would summon the Spirit King.

“Ph, Freed! How is it! I said I would succeed!”

“That’s right. You are amazing.”

Lyncia jumped around with an excited expression and shouted, and I applauded with honest feelings.

But.

“Ah, that’s the limit.”

Less than a few seconds later, Lin Xia sighed heavily and sat down in her seat.

Perhaps because of the disordered mana flow, the Spirit King also disappeared as if it melted into the air.

“Hmm. About a minute or so.”

Still, where is it to manifest even this much?

The Spirit King boasts overwhelming destructive power while summoned. Just being able to command him was a great improvement.

“As expected…… You seem immature.”

“Keep practicing and you will get better.”

Soothed the exhausted Lyncia.

She reached out and grabbed her by the shoulders and dragged her into the shade, sweaty and damp to the touch.

It was only natural that he used up all the mana in his body in midsummer. There wasn’t even a ceiling in the gymnasium.

“You worked hard though.”

The reason Lin Xia brought me to the gymnasium was, as you can see, to test the contract with the King of Spirits.

Since she signed a contract with the Spirit King in High Lynx, she wondered how she could use it, but it seemed that the mana fuel efficiency was the worst in Sigrun, which is far from the spirit world.

“Huh. F, Fried. Water…… !”

“Here it is.”

When I brought her water bag to the gasping Lynxia, she poured cold water from the top of her head instead of drinking her water.

Then she gasped and leaned on my shoulder, and then, as if her posture was uncomfortable, she lay down with my legs as pillows.

I, who suddenly became a human bed, lowered my posture without being able to do anything.

“Anyway, it would be impossible to use Spirit King in real combat.”

“hahahaha.”

Lin Xia lifted her head and looked up at me with a blank expression.

Her angle was quite destructive, so I threw her face back, but Lynxia’s hand caught my epaulet like her leash, and she yanked it towards herself.

The scent of wild flowers from Lyncia mixed with the strange smell of sweat, giving off a strange smell.

“Freed.”

“Yes.”

“…… Will I get better with practice?”

“It will definitely get better.”

After confirming it, Lin Xia pursed her lips.

“So, did Fried do that too?”

“… ….”

In fact, only a faint panoramic memory of Fried’s childhood remained.

However, it seems that he was also a hard worker.

After being possessed, the pain of the training that was imprinted in my consciousness was still vivid.

“Yes. So did I.”

“Was Fried too inexperienced at first?”

“That’s right. You keep trying and you get better. Perhaps, Grandma Uriad over there will tell you.”

At that, Lynxia turned her head to Yuriard, who was watching us from a distance.

Uriad is glaring at me with angry eyes. It was an unspoken pressure to get out of the prison immediately, but what should I do? Lyncia is holding on like this.

“Still, I feel a little cheered up.”

“I’m glad it helped.”

“Freed as a child, I want to see something.”

Lynn Sia ran her fingers through her hair that hung down inside her.

Then she laughs loudly.

“I can’t show you, but I can whine like I did when I was a child.”

“That’s what you normally do.”

“Is that so?”

Still, I thought he showed a lot of trustworthiness, but I guess that’s how he looked.

This was a bit of a shock.

“hehehehe. It’s a joke.”

Lin Xia giggled to herself, and she finally let go of her grip on her shoulder strap.

Thanks to her, she was able to take her face away from Lynxia.

“From now on, I will practice every day. Will Fried be with you?”

“Yes.”

Lin Xia slowly raised her body.

Then she got up from her seat again and started walking towards the center of her gymnasium.

“Today then, let’s practice until evening!”

No one seemed to be able to stop Lyncia, who was full of enthusiasm.

Lyncia Ayrn. The protagonist of Raising an Empress. In the end, she is also destined to become the ruler of the continent, just like her predecessor.

The variable called the oath is still choking me, but wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy peace for now?

There are still more than two months left until the fourth act.

“Okay. I will stay until evening. But if you are having a hard time, always tell me.”

That’s why I just push the back of the main character, Lyncia.

I slowly watched her amazing growth.

… ….

And.

Contrary to Lincia’s ambition, the next day’s training did not go as planned.

Why?

“Cough, Cough.”

“Ugh.”

“Ha, don’t sigh! Clothes! Coke!”

I caught a summer cold that even dogs don’t catch.
