Understanding Of Things
「Fuuh, that was dangerous」
I sighed in relief as I landed in the royal capital’s shopping district. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I didn’t think that the old man who was leaning on the window would drop his crown into the courtyard.
Thanks to that, the knights were looking up at the sky and my presence in the sky was almost exposed.
Although I was lucky enough to be able to witness the crowned old man, I couldn’t see his features clearly.
I feel like there’s a high probability that he’s the king-sama since he was wearing a crown, but showing such disgraceful behavior makes me doubtful about it.
Still, I need confirmed information. Even though it’s a battle pencil with the king-sama as a motif, it will be insolent to use a different person as the motif.
「I knew it, if it’s solid information about the king-sama then it’s his portrait」
I know a bookstore in the royal capital, but do they have the portrait of the king-sama?
Or should I go to the art museum?
I have only strolled the shopping district of the royal capital, so I’m not familiar with the place.
「Can’t be helped. I’ll just try to ask some people while keep using Teleport」
「Are you alright?」
I suddenly heard a voice and when I turned around, I saw two people who looked like guards wearing armor behind me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It was a bearded middle-aged man with a serious face and another young man with somewhat listless and lifeless eyes――eh? I’ve seen this person before.
「「Ah……」」
And not only me, I guess the other party also realized after seeing me and let out a foolish voice.
「Kenny, do you know this child?」
「Yes, well. I met him in the plaza before」
I met with this man called Kenny before, it was when I attended the Noble’s Exchange meeting back in spring.
We chatted a bit on the bench while I was waiting for Eric.
Even though we spent a little time together, he still remembered me well.
「Then, it would be suitable for Kenny to talk with him instead of me」
After the middle-aged man who seemed to be Kenny’s superior said that, he stepped back a little.
It looks like he’s going to entrust Kenny with me.
「Ahー, what are you doing in this kind of place?」
Apparently, they saw me standing alone by the wayside and those two were worried about me.
It’s unavoidable when you look at his appearance, but even if it’s like that he’s still an adult.
I’m a little embarrassed since it feels like I’m being questioned by the police even though I’m old enough to know better.
「Just having a little walk――」
Even though I was trying to cover it up with a suitable excuse, Kenny looked disappointed as he furrowed his brows. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Kenny is currently guarding the royal capital. I’m sure the one-to-one interaction with his superior must have also exhausted him.
Well, I had something to ask anyway, let’s ask Kenny about it.
「――actually, I was looking for something」
「Something? What is it?」
「I was thinkingー, I never saw king-sama before so I was wondering if there are any portraits of him」
「If it’s king-sama’s portrait, then you can find it in the art museum in the noble’s district but I don’t recommend children going there alone. There is the possibility that you will be told to go back. But there is a stone statue of His Majesty in the northern plaza」
「Which way is north? I don’t know about the royal capital that well」
「……Kenny, it is dangerous to let a child go there alone. I will patrol here so you can bring that kid there with you」
「Understood」
The truth is he knows that fact but he pretends not to know but his superior told him so.
I feel like the corner of the Kenny’s mouth is slightly raised when he answers his superior although his expression is still listless
「Then I will guide you there」
「Thank you!」
I reply like an innocent kid and follow Kenny.
Then, Kenny opened his mouth when we couldn’t see his superior anymore.
「You could actually go there alone, right?」
「Un. But, it will also be more comfortable for Kenny to be separated from your superior if you have a reason, right?」
「……well, that’s true」
In other words, it’s leaving your boss and going out alone. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
So if you have a good reason for the situation, you can be forgiven for slacking off a little during work.
「It’s a work with long work hours. And it’s hard to breathe when you’re doing your job together with your boss, right」
「Indeed it is. Usually all I have to do is to walk around but――rather than that, aren’t you quite perceptive?」
「I wonder?」
Maybe it’s because I unintentionally recalled my previous life and spoke deeply about it that Kenny became suspicious.
People will think it’s strange if you sympathize with them too much so I try to change the subject.
「Come to think of it, do you get along well with girlfriend-san?」
Speaking of this Kenny guy, his somewhat languid girlfriend he used to be with was quite memorable.
「Well yeah. I work with that person at the same place so I meet her almost everyday」
「So that means girlfriend-san is also a guard」
「Right」
I can’t help but be curious about the unexpected relationship between workmates.
「Which kind of approach did you use?」
「……do I have to tell you that?」
Kenny’s furrowed his brows, perhaps he’s quite embarrassed talking about his relationship.
「Don’t you think that you will get more free time if you report to your superior that I forced you to guide me around the place?」
「……if I have to say it, it’s not from either of us」
It seems like the desire for a break time outweighs his embarrassment.
Kenny told me the truth in response to our deal without hesitation. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「What do you mean it’s neither of you?」
「She and I are not the type who are passionate about our work. Our thought process is the same, we often work in pairs, and we’ve been working together for a while now that people treat us as a couple」
I see, so they’re the type that removed obstacles from their objectives.
Certainly, those two don’t have any feeling of righteousness, and they are the type that only do the least amount of work corresponding to the money.
They probably hit it off with each other since they have the same way of thinking.
It’s a good thing they are able to accept each other’s way of thinking and life.
「And then?」
「And I also quite like her so I decided to go out with her」
「Uh-huh, so which of you confess first?」
「It’s neither of us. We were in a relationship before we knew it」
Aah, it’s a pattern that sometimes happens between men and women.
「That’s quite a smooth relationship, huh」
「Well, it’s not like it’s a relationship where we need to make changes at this point, you know」
The fact that those two can also spend time together outside work hours is probably because they also like each other.
However, it’s a bit sad to have a relationship where you don’t state things clearly.
But, this is Kenny’s problem and I don’t think it would make a difference if a seven-year-old kid tried to talk about the relationship between a man and a woman. It would be an unnecessary bother.
Kenny has his own pace, there are also couples like them.
「We’ve arrived. Over there is the stone statue of His Majesty King Zigil」
As I was thinking about such things, it seemed like we’d arrived at our destination before I knew it.
Looking at the place Kenny’s finger pointed to, there was a large stone statue over there.
It’s a statue of a man with a dignified face holding up his arm high. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「……this is the king-sama?」
「Aah, that’s right」
It’s similar to the middle-aged man wearing the crown, but it seems like the features and body are slightly different.
The man I saw back in the castle felt more lackluster in comparison. I feel like he’s a little plumper and not muscular like this.
But, the shape of his facial features and hair are definitely the same as the man I saw in the castle earlier.
In other words, it looks like the middle-aged man dropping his crown into the courtyard is the king-sama.
Hmーm, that person is the king-sama, huh.....is this country alright, I wonder?
But, even a king is a human being. He might make mistakes and would like to have a break.
He must have looked as dignified as this statue when dealing with his duties normally.
I think it’s going to be better if I use this stone statue as the motif for the battle pencils for the king-sama.
「Are you satisfied?」
「Un, thank you for guiding me」
「It’s my job don’t mind it」
「Then, let’s take a walk around shall we? It will be easier to make excuses later when your colleagues see you」
「You, are you lying about your age? How old are you really?」
How rude. I’m really seven years old.....in appearance, that is. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
