　Indeed, it is calming.

　It's all about the mind, isn't it? Indeed, it is quite different from a tea party.

　I wonder if I've grown too big as a regent. Raviara and the other military officers would have at least avenged their enemies, but the child was still young and the country would be in turmoil again.

　There stood a strange man whom I had never met before, but I did not feel as if I had.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His expression was similar to mine, as if he were my real self. Only his hair color is black, but the rest is almost the same as mine. I am not sure of his age. He looks much older or about the same age.

　I asked as I stood up.

"How dare you talk to me in such an irreverent manner? But you've been consistent about it, so I'm not angry with you.

"Tea has the effect of making people extremely introspective. That's why you've gone too far inside yourself. But even Rikyu's tea wouldn't have done that much for you. Did you put drugs in it?　Or is the tea of this land different from the tea of the sun?"

　But it did not have a medicinal taste. He once ate something that tasted like poison on purpose to learn the taste of poison.

"That's hard to believe. But it's also true that I can't think of any other explanation as to where we are and who you are. It is easy to understand the causal relationship that it is because of the tea. At least, it's much more likely than thinking it's because of the dinner you had yesterday."

　The man smiled. It was an irreverent laugh, as if he feared no one.
