A young girl in a village without protection

Ten days after being rocked by a carriage, it is time to reach the Grand Shrine.

The spring season was coming to an end, and the blooming trees in the backyard of the Linkrat family were quite problematic.

(It was a long time....)

Zerisina breathes like relief.

Lucaria's reply also stated that she would talk about the protection of Zerisina.It's not just about the big trees that don't bloom, but I think I'll find out a lot about this visit.

"You look amazing, Zeli."

"... Oniisama Aasarju"

It was Arthur Linkrat who approached me worried.

The soft and smiling young man is Zelicina's brother.Lightly pigmented golden hair and gentle baby pink eyes.

I work as a civilian in the royal castle from morning to evening, and I don't have much opportunity to face Zerisina.This visit to the Grand Shrine is actually a holiday for Artsarge.

Arthur said, "There are wrinkles between your eyebrows."As she giggled, she put her index finger on Zerisina's forehead.It massages me like a circle.

"Nevertheless, I know how Zeli feels.If we don't do something about the big trees that don't bloom, we won't be able to leave. "

"... uhh, yes"

In harsh words, Zerisina squeezed the hand on her lap and wrinkled between her eyebrows.Looking at it, Arthur smiled.

"It's all right, Lucaria. I'm sure you know the solution."

Well, I hope so.

Zerisina smiled without strength because she couldn't help but calm down.

When I arrived at the Grand Shrine, I prepared my own guest rooms.

Jade and Odette, who are accompanying him, set up the room, and Zerisina has a meeting with Arthur in the meantime.

We arrived early, but Lucaria invited us to dinner.

"Confirming is about the big tree that doesn't bloom, and protecting Zeli, okay?"

"Yes"

Zerisina nods to Azarju's words.

I'd really like to hear and talk about a lot more... unfortunately, Lucaria is busy and it seems difficult to get her to take up that much time.

Of course, I have dinner and would like to talk about things if I can afford it.

(But there's something about that....)

I don't want to talk as much as I can.

That means Lucaria offered to engage Zerisina.I have officially said no, but there is a verse where Lucaria has not given up.

If you show me the gap, I'm going to be attacked all at once... that's how I feel.

So as a Zerisina, it's very pleasant that Arthur came with me.

With Odette's help, Zelicina changed into a dinner dress.

A calm shade dress with a light blue tone is a baby pink accent.The sleeve features a long lace to make the Zerisina look more elegant.

When I took my legs to the dinner hall, Lucaria was already waiting for me.

It's been a long time, Zelicina.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting...It's been a long time, Lucaria. "

When Zerisina greets her, Lucaria smiles happily.Last time I saw you, I guess I didn't have much time for business.

Nevertheless, as a Zerisina, I am quite uncomfortable with it.

(Ugh, don't be alarmed in front of Lucaria-sama! Absolutely!!)

Lucaria Earthgards, the head of the temple, the head of the temple.

Golden hair under the shoulders and calm eyes of the same color.From the center of the forehair is a sign of the Blessing of Valdore, the god of light, to whom Lucaria is blessed.

Pretty face like a doll, but I don't know what you're thinking in your head... Zerisina doesn't know.

Zélicina introduces Lycaria as she looks at Arthur.

"This is my brother. Thank you for joining us this time."

"I am Arthurj Linkrat, the second son of the Linkrat family. Thank you for your time."

"I am the head of the temple, Lucaria.Thank you for your time in the distance. "

We greeted each other and arrived at the table.

Talk while keeping your mouth shut about prepared dishes.That said, it may be close to exploring the abdomen.

Especially since Arthur met Lycaria for the first time, he probably wondered who he was.

"Actually, there's something I'm curious about."

"What is it...?"

Zerisina leans her neck against Lucaria's cut words.Then Lucaria opened her mouth with pleasure.

"I would love to see the big trees that Zerisina-sama grows."

――

I didn't think you'd say that, but Zelicina stopped eating food.

(Indeed, speaking of Daiki, the temple's jurisdiction.....)

I understand that I want to confirm it.But I don't think it's necessary for the temple chief, Lucaria, to carry his feet.

The temple in this world is said to be at the heart of Earth Gars.Earthgards is the name of this world.

There are big trees, and there is a temple, and there are many priests and witches, including Lucaria.The feast is for the trees, and for the gods and spirits that bless men.

There are five countries around the Great Shrine and a small shrine.In addition, there are large trees in each territory, and new trees are said to grow from their branches.In other words, the trees in each country's territory are inserts from the trees of the Grand Temple.

We know where the trees are and whether they are growing, but the Grand Temple is not under strict control.It doesn't seem like a tree is bound by something...

He may be able to help if he asks for help, but the temple side doesn't do anything spontaneously.Even if the trees die.

I'm sure Daiki will do whatever he wants.

Zerisina goes through her head wondering what to reply to.I can't say anything bad to Lucaria's opponent.

"... it's still a small village a year old.Not really, but I'm not ready to entertain Lucaria. "

So why don't you give up now, Zerisina smiles sorry.But Lucaria shook her head "No."

"I'm a young man, so I don't need hospitality."

"....."

(Shit!)

Looks like you answered incorrectly.I don't want to sweat and think about what happened to Zerisina, but I can't think of a good solution.

But Arthur sent us a rescue ship.

"I'm not so happy to have the head of the shrine, Lucaria, look at the trees.But right now, I want to solve another problem as soon as possible. "

"Oh, that's right. I'm sorry, I've never been with you before."

Lucaria smiled bitterly and nodded at Arthur's words.Apparently, you gave up your visit to the village of Zelin.
