A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

“Wait a minute, Mr. Bray and the others are just back!” Virginia froze, then quickly waved her hand to signal Blanche not to say such things.

“No, isn’t it a good thing to go play together?” Blanche ignored her princess and continued.

“That makes sense, you didn’t spend much time in Clinton.” Bray nodded thoughtfully.

Lux and Virginia had only been traveling with the college to Clinton for a few days, and he felt bad if they were delayed because of him and his group.

Besides, going out to have fun isn't an unpleasant thing.

“Very well, it’s settled then.” Blanche maintained her standard maid posture, her face still expressionless.

As long as Breken surrenders, Princess Virginia won't say anything.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Princess Virginia desperately wanted to go out and play with Bray.

Blanche's words were in line with the princess's wishes.

Even though there's a pink-haired girl acting as the ultimate third wheel, it's okay. Let this dead fish keep the princess company until she's exhausted.

Thinking of this, Blanche almost smiled.

It took a lot of effort to suppress it and maintain his indifferent expression.

"..." Bray wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Blanche's expression seemed to have softened a lot.

"I'm not going." Naruko frowned, then slowly raised her hand and said.

“?” Bray looked at Naruko with an incredulous expression.

Naruko isn't going to play? This is as astonishing as the end of the world.

"Are you running a fever?" Bray touched Naruko's forehead.

Naruko remained motionless, her forehead still being touched by Bree.

She didn't have a fever, so she wasn't worried at all, and she didn't need to fear being thrown into the hospital by Bray.

"You have a fever," Bray said casually.

"Huh?" Naruko was shocked. This person was lying through their teeth. It was terrifying.

"Aren't you an honest person? Don't lie! My forehead isn't hot at all."

"So what are you going to do?" Bray glanced at Naruko casually.

That pink-haired idiot definitely has something he's secretly planning to do.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to ask that question? You always just walk away without a word, don't you?" Naruko looked at Bray with disdain.

"..." Bray couldn't refute it, after all, he did do this often.

“I want to go find that young lady,” Naruko said.

Bray immediately understood what Naruko wanted to do.

Naruko could have said she was going to try and matchmake Angelia and Diman at the old house.

He didn't expect Naruko to be serious; he thought she was just joking.

But thinking about it carefully, Naruko is indeed the kind of person who takes things seriously.

"You're not the matchmaker."

"No, I can't stand those two cowards anymore." Naruko clenched her fists, feeling inexplicably angry.

"Have fun, you guys!" With that, Naruko dashed off.

"Uh..." Virginia didn't understand what had happened before Naruko rushed out the door.

“Never mind her,” Bray sighed.

"Brave, Bray, Levy, go find Naruko." Levy watched Naruko's running figure, thought for a moment, and then jumped off Bray's lap.

"Take good care of Naruko," Bray said earnestly to Levy.

"Oh!" Levy waved earnestly, indicating that she would definitely take good care of Naruko.

Although the roles seem to have been reversed, it doesn't seem wrong.

"Bang." It was the sound of the door opening again, and Levy wagged her tail and left through the doorway.

Suddenly, there were only four people left in the room.

"Brother... what happened to them?" Lux was a little confused.

"It's nothing, probably just a fever," Bray said in a nonchalant tone.

“…” Blanche raised an eyebrow, but things seemed to be unfolding quite well for the princess.

With the rival suddenly gone, leaving only the princess as the main character, it's truly a perfect world for two.

You mean Lux? Blanche will sneak away with her.

---

After that, there's not much to say about how Bray, this adventurer with no emotional intelligence, went out to play with his sister and the princess.

It's probably just something like carrying a bag.

If you're hoping for some amazing flirting moves from Bray, you'll probably never see it.

Even so, Virginia seemed quite happy to be with Bray.

She was like a little girl, lacking the elegance and poise expected of a princess.

"The spring at this ancient site still has water! How amazing!" Virginia exclaimed, scooping up a handful of water with her hands.

Bray stood to the side, seriously pondering why the spring was still spouting water.

"It's really amazing." There's no water supply at all, so where does this spring water come from?

In the shadows, Blanche and Lux ​​were observing the two of them.

"Blanche, do you really think there's a possibility between them?" Lux asked, looking at the two who weren't interacting.

“I’ve made the impossible possible,” Blanche said.

Clinton was enveloped in peace.

In a sense, Angela and 112 sacrificed their freedom in exchange for Clinton's peace.

Otherwise, that restless monster might cause unimaginable damage to Clinton.

The monster has been quiet for a hundred years, and it will remain quiet until a certain moment.

"Ahem, what's so special about this historical site?" An old man, leaning on a cane, walked up to Bray.

As the old man walked up to Bray, he gave the other man's dead fish eyes a careful look.

“There’s a spring that spouts water,” Bray replied, pointing to the spring in front of him.

Beside the spring, Princess Virginia was as happy as a child.

"Oh, this little girl is indeed very special."

I was referring to the spring water.

“It’s you.” Angelia looked at Naruko, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, with some surprise.

"112, why didn't you tell me we had guests beforehand?" Angelia seemed a little annoyed.

"Before I could even speak, this young lady had already climbed over the wall and come in." 112 was also helpless.

Before Naruko could even announce her arrival, she used a grappling hook to pull her inside.

“Miss, what you’re doing is trespassing on someone else’s property.” Angelia took a leisurely sip of her coffee.

“My name is Naruko, you should call me Miss Naruko,” Naruko said to Angelia in a serious tone.

"Miss Naruko, right? Why did you suddenly come to my door?" Angelia asked, glancing at Naruko with her right eye half-open as she sipped her coffee.

Miss Naruko, who got lost not long ago, unexpectedly managed to find her way here on her own this time.

Angela didn't blame her for coming so suddenly.

After all, this old house is mostly occupied by myself and 112, so it's quite deserted. It would be nice if a lively person came.

Tranquility is certainly desirable, but a touch of liveliness can also be a welcome change.

“For your love,” Naruko cleared her throat and said to Angelia.

"Pfft—" Even the elegant Angelia was so startled by Naruko that she spat out a mouthful of coffee.

Luckily, Naruko turned to the side beforehand, avoiding being sprayed with coffee.

"I'm sorry, I was rude." Angelia blushed slightly and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief on the table.

Angelia felt a little embarrassed for spitting out coffee in front of others.

“Miss Naruko, you don’t need to worry too much about my love life. Don’t let my appearance fool you, I’ve been through quite a few relationships before,” Angelia said.

Angela didn't need to be particularly careful when talking to a woman.

When speaking to a woman, there are many things that cannot be said in front of a man, but can be said freely.

"Huh? Several times?" Naruko looked at Angelia with some surprise.

"Yes, several times."

"..." 112 twitched its cat ears, feeling that it didn't quite fit into this chat setting.

In any case, this could be considered a private conversation, so 112, being a male cat, consciously withdrew from the balcony and gently closed the door.

"Little girl, this isn't suitable for you," 112 casually added after noticing Levy.

Levy was let in by 112 himself, so 112 was naturally not surprised to see her there.

"Not suitable for me?" Levy tilted her head, looking at 112 with a hint of doubt.

Levy followed Naruko all the way here, but the idiot Naruko didn't even notice.

Only 112 stopped Levy, who was moving swiftly, at the door.

"Yes, it will be about the right time when you're a little older."

"Hmm...Levy is almost 20, no, it seems like she's already 20." Levy muttered to herself.

"..." Ignore option for 112.

20 years old? Levy looks no more than 10 years old.

112 Let's just take this as a child's joke.

"Can Levy wait for Naruko here?" Levy wagged her tail.

“Of course.” 112 stroked its cat whiskers and nodded.

"Would you like something to drink?" the cat-person asked Levy.

"Yes!" Levy gave a 0v0 look, wagging her tail rapidly.

"What would you like to drink?" 112 stroked Levy's little head like an elder.

Although he wasn't actually much taller than Lei, he still had the aura of an elder.

"I want something cold, I want some juice."

"Juice? It's cold..." 112 rubbed his temples; this was a bit difficult.

However, it's not impossible to meet Levy's requirements.

"I'll go get it for you, just wait patiently."

“Okay~” Levy said, then paused as if she had thought of something.

"What should Levy call you?"

“Just call me 112, little girl,” 112 said kindly.

“Thank you, Grandpa 112!” Levy said politely.

"..." 112 was taken aback when he heard Levy refer to herself as "Grandpa".

Why do you call me grandpa?

"Because Grandpa 112 isn't very old, is he?" Levy felt that it was only natural for her to call him "Grandpa".

"Is that so? I see." 112 raised an eyebrow, accepting the fact that Levy could see through her age.
