60 – Ortaire (2).

next day. I immediately looked for Adylune.

Adilon has been looking at me with a little bit of blank eyes since yesterday, and I somehow wanted to make fun of her.

“Adilune.”

“What happen?”

“This time I had something to do with Ortaire… … I guess I will have to stay in Ortaire again for a while.”

“… … Yeah?”

In an instant, Adyllun’s dazed eyes suddenly opened wide.

“Are you dying too?”

I nodded my head with a slightly sad face to Adyllun who urgently asked.

“Yeah.”

“Oh, can I not go?”

In response to my firm answer, Adyllun pitifully asked me back… … I told the truth in a hurry, thinking that the moment I joked with her a little more, she would cry like yesterday.

“But there is one thing I didn’t tell you.”

“Yeah?”

“Actually, I was going to ask if Adyllun could go with me. If that didn’t work, I would have gone alone. So… … Would you like to go to Ortaire with me? It would be a bit lonely without Adirun.”

“can go! No, I’m going!”

Adilun didn’t even say anything to me who was playing a prank, and said urgently.

“Is that true? That’s fortunate. Actually, I wanted to show you around Ortaire.”

“phew.”

She let out a sigh of relief, and I smiled at her and said,

“Wouldn’t you like me to go somewhere else?”

“… … Yeah.”

“why?”

Instantly, her face turns red. I already knew the answer, but… … Still, whenever I saw her reaction like that, I was so happy that I couldn’t stop.

“Appointment.”

“Appointment… … What?”

“You promised. I will continue to stay here after Yeongjijeon. So that’s it. Promises are not meant to be broken.”

“… … okay. anyway… … I think I will be leaving soon, but I think I should be fully prepared. I think I will have to stay in Ortaire for a month.”

“Yeah!”

Adilun said to me with a bright expression.

“You can look forward to it. Because it has the opposite characteristics of this place, Rodenov. It’s warm, sometimes even hot… … You just need to bring some light clothes.”

“I’ll refer to it.”

“Maybe it’s too hot and it’s hard, so I’ll tell the family separately.”

“Thank you, Phishes. Still, it’s okay if you don’t care too much about it. I am good at magic.”

“Adylun is good at magic, I know enough, but… … Still, every time I use magic, I get tired.”

“I think so. Thank you for being considerate.”

“That should be enough. I am your fiancé.”

Adylon smiled again, blushing.

Adirun’s expression seems to have gotten richer lately, so I really liked that. It’s proof that I’ve been doing well, at least so far.

“uh… … Well. Yeah.”

“Then, I will tell my father that. Departure… … Maybe next week.”

“I know. I’ll have everything ready by then.”

“Yeah.”

* * *

Ortaire. Where Phishes was born and raised.

As he said, unlike Rodenov, the warm weather is maintained even in winter, and even snowfall is extremely rare. Due to its warm climate, it has several grain belts… … It is a place where wealth overflows.

Phishes told me to go there with him.

At first, I thought he was doing it to leave me, but it turned out that it was to express his opinion that he wanted to go with me.

Anyway, I was happy to fly.

Isn’t that where Physis used to live? Isn’t it the place where his life is buried? Just going there felt like getting to know him a bit more, so I couldn’t feel bad.

There was something that made me feel a bit down because of the too sweet dream I had last time, but the situation was somewhat relieved by Physics’ friendly attitude towards me again.

He even said to go with him to the place where he used to live… … The gloomy feeling flew away at once.

“miss.”

It was Mina, the handmaid.

“yes. mina. what’s the matter?”

“Have you had any fun? Your expression has improved a lot.”

“yes. Why?”

“Nope. It seemed like he was crying somewhere. Ever since I returned yesterday.”

The melancholy look definitely showed through. It was to the extent that it seemed that way not only to Physis but also to Mina.

“I just felt strangely depressed. there are days like that Anyway, I’m fine now. Rather happy.”

I was moderately evasive. If I said it was because of Physis here, there was a possibility that he would be harmed for nothing.

“Did something happen? I think Sir Physis just came out of the room.”

“yes. Physis asked me to go with him to Ortaire.”

“Are you Ortaire?”

“yes. So I’m going to leave right away next week. Mina, can you help me pack my things?”

“Of course it should. Ortaire anyway… … If so, you’ll need thin clothes. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. By the way… … How was the social gathering?”

“social… … .”

Adilune recalled the events of the social gathering. It wasn’t all good things, but… … Clearly there have been results. I made a friend, and I was able to be sure of my feelings about Physis.

“It wasn’t bad. I even made a friend.”

“A friend?”

As if Mina was surprised, her pale gold eyes widened.

“yes. There is a princess I helped in the past called Isla Isvante… … He said thank you.”

“aha. I’m so glad Shall we send an invitation to tea time later?”

“yes. But first of all, staying in Ortaire comes first, so even if I can’t do it, a month will have to pass.”

“I know. miss. Then I will prepare to pack with the maids.”

“please. I’ll go see Physis in a minute. Where is Physis now?”

“Sir Physis… … By now, it’s time to rest after training. Why don’t you visit the gymnasium once?”

“gymnasium? then… … Aren’t you going to get hungry soon?”

“Yeah. I think you probably do. He always ate simple food after training. ah.”

Mina, who suddenly hit her palm with her fist, whispered in my ear.

“It wouldn’t be bad to bring your own food. To the extent that I can picture Sir Physis being very happy.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. and lady. cheer up.”

“yes? What?”

“You like Sir Physis, don’t you?”

At that moment, heat rushed to his face.

“Uh, how did you know?”

“miss. You can’t know. The state of your mood, such as making a subtly gloomy expression since you arrived yesterday, suddenly making an excited expression, or feeling depressed… … Above all, his eyes were always on Sir Physis.”

“… … .”

I couldn’t say anything. It was because I could clearly see what I looked like when I heard it through her words.

Isn’t it the appearance of a young girl who has completely fallen in love for the first time?

“Still, the fortunate thing is that Sir Physis doesn’t look at other women… … It must be that the two of you are already engaged. There is no risk of being taken away by anyone.”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Yeah?”

“There was some flirting with him at the social gathering.”

Mina asked me back with a surprised expression. However, if you feel a strange smile, it must be an illusion.

“Oh my gosh. Who?”

“Selina Idenea.”

“ah.”

She was convinced at once.

“In that case, you must have a crush on Sir Physis even more. I don’t know the lady… … Even among maids and ladies-in-waiting, Sir Physis is gaining quite a bit of popularity.”

“That, is it?”

“Yeah. He’s the lady’s fiancé, so he doesn’t openly approach him, but… … If Lord Physis was merely a family diner, would he have crawled into the bedroom? You are such a charming person.”

“… … It is.”

I got it. I wouldn’t know if it was him in the past, but isn’t he the perfect groom? He’s friendly, possesses quite a bit of force, and has an attitude of caring for others.

Moreover, even his appearance was overwhelming, so there was no one to criticize.

“Are you Mina too?”

“Me? Nope. I don’t pay attention to people who have owners.”

“What if Physis had no owner?”

“I must have been courting you hard. That kind of groom is rare.”

I tried to get a little angry at Mina’s words, but I couldn’t even get angry because it was so obvious.

“As expected.”

“Be strong, my lady. Originally, many women cling to such a man.”

“… … yes.”

“So, start by hanging out often. It wouldn’t be bad to stamp out the seals when we go to Ortaire this time.”

“stamp?”

“Yeah. therefore… … A kiss mark.”

“… … !”

Heat rushes to your face. I haven’t even kissed yet, but to say beyond that.

“Maybe it’s too soon… … ?”

“It can’t be. You’re even engaged, what else do you have to cover up? If you just put a stamp on it, it’s marriage right away, marriage. Then you can legally brag about your ownership of Lord Physis to the other women.”

“But maybe that’s a little too much… … .”

“That is what it means. Anyway, try your best. If it was the real Sir Physis of the past, I would absolutely want to stop him, but looking at his changed appearance recently, there is no one like him.”

“… … I’ll try.”

“Cheer up, young lady.”

I couldn’t help but nod my head at Mina’s words as she clenched her fists.
