Chapter 347

"...Is that so?"

"It is."

Yuder clamped his mouth shut for a moment. Life before joining the Cavalry did not need to be buried like events from a previous life, but neither was it a topic full of intrigue that he would willingly discuss. What could there be to say about a life in a secluded cabin, where one had to hike nearly half a day down a mountain to meet a neighbor? Seeing a smile at a small memory he'd deemed neither necessary to mention nor remember, Yuder felt a sense of complexity.

The fact that he had been able to act boldly until now, despite looking suspicious, was because Kishiar's silent consent and patience had supported him. Kishiar had shown faith so immense that it could be difficult for Yuder, the very subject, to fully comprehend. However, that didn't mean Kishiar was not curious at all, Yuder realized anew.

'...Well, it's only natural.' Vissit for updates

Yuder, watching the happy man, cautiously opened his mouth.

"I didn't know you would be so happy about such a trivial story."

"It's your story, so how can it be trivial?"

Their eyes met, clearly gleaming.

"...If there's anything more you're curious about, please ask."

He wouldn't be able to answer everything, but he still wanted to say that. Kishiar brushed Yuder's forelock entangled in his fingers and lightly shook his head.

"Mm... It's always more joyful to receive such things as unexpected gifts. But it's a bit regrettable that I can't see what you were like as a child. You must have been as cute as an angel."

"No. Even my grandfather never said that."

Yuder responded honestly and coolly.

"Why? You're so cute even now."

The natural, playful question brought a retort to the tip of Yuder's tongue. If anyone looked like a child who would be called as cute as an angel, it was certainly the man before him in his youth. Now he possessed such excessive beauty; what would have been so different back then? He must have looked like the very manifestation of a real angel.

There might be a portrait from that time now, but in his previous life, Emperor Katchian had erased all traces of the entire imperial family. If he had tried, he might have found information, but as he hadn't, Kishiar's childhood remained largely unknown.

"I think only you would describe me that way."

"My aesthetic sense is just fine. I only speak as I see."

Kishiar answered seriously and then gradually moved from Yuder's hair to stroke his ear. Following down to the corner of the left eye, his finger playfully brushed downward, causing Yuder's eyes to close involuntarily. As he slowly blinked a few times, a forgotten weariness washed over him, making him feel languid.

"You must be sleepy."

"No... I'm not."

'I had thought to make sure Kishiar fell asleep first since I rested enough today.'

He tried to resist, but the oncoming drowsiness was unstoppable. Kishiar saw him bite his lip forcefully and chuckled softly.

"You've been acting like you've forgotten all about you not yet fully recovered during the day, so your body must be tired. I'll sleep too, so goodnight."

With those faint words as the last, Yuder fell into a deep sleep.

—---

"Yes, I did. As I heard, there was much to see in the Finnard Square. It was even more fun than I thought, and I lost track of time. Ah! I also bought a gift for Kanna."

"Oh? Just for Kanna Wand?"

"Of course, I bought shares for the Commander and Yuder as well. It's nothing special, so it's embarrassing, but will you accept it?"

"If it's a gift from a competent Deputy Commander of Shin Division, I can't refuse."

The servants of the Willhem family, who placed food dishes in front of them and then disappeared, secretly snorted at their worthless conversation, but Yuder perceived entirely different information.

'The location must be near Finnard Square, and it seems a group of beggars who lost their memories was captured here. Mentioning Kanna probably means something related to the information that the village in the Great Sarain Forest has moved near Tainu... So Ever's speculation was right after all.'

"How about Commander and Yuder go to Finnard Square today? The weather is good, so it's sure to be a fun outing. If you go, I will guide you."

"Really? That's a good idea. What about my assistant?"

"Of course, it's really good."

It was an answer with all his heart, but the reaction was miserable. Yuder frowned, watching Ever's gesture to the servants and the rapidly bowing and shaking colleagues.

"Okay. If I have nothing to do in the afternoon, let's go. I may not want to go out, though."

The atmosphere relaxed a little only after Kishiar, who grinned leisurely, gave Yuder a slight wink.

'Why do they all believe even when the other side doesn't say anything, but I think I better not say anything at all?'

Yuder sighed and finished his meal. Kishiar took Yuder to the garden, ostensibly for a walk. Since no one wanted to walk with them, the garden was more deserted than ever.

"Do you think that my speaking hinders role-playing, Commander?"

"Why think that?"

"Every time I try to fulfill the role properly, the reaction seems rather bad."

"Does it matter? There was no problem either way, and there won't be in the future."

Kishiar responded lightly as he moved on.

"You don't need to try too hard to do well. If you've made up your mind, do as you like."
