After defeating the demon army unleashed by the royal capital.
　We were accepted by the revolutionary army and a small banquet was held.


"I'm sorry I've given you guys the benefit of the doubt.


　At the banquet, Riley, brother of the Foolish King Aurelian, bows his head.

'Don't worry about it. We're in wartime now, aren't we?　You can't help but be wary.

　In contrast, I uttered that.

　After that, by taking care of the demon horde, we were let off our guard.
　If it weren't for me, the Revolutionary Army would have perished as it was. If it weren't for me, the Revolutionary Army would have perished as it was, and that would have won their trust.

　And if we are from King's Landing, there is no advantage to defeating demons there.
　Furthermore, even if we had some kind of idea, it seems that they thought it was not desirable to antagonize the guy who would defeat a horde of three hundred demons.

''It would be helpful to hear that,''

　With that, Riley raised his cup to me.

'Come on, let's drink and eat today and congratulate ourselves on meeting a wonderful comrade. Though since we're at war, it will be a modest one.
No, thanks.

　I toasted Riley.

'Kurt - I'm going in circles in front of you!

　As I did so, Lara wandered off and put her hand on my shoulder.

'Lara, have you had a drink?'
Mmm.

　When I asked the question, Lara shook her head.

'I haven't been drinking but I smelled so much alcohol. When I smelled it, it kind of made my head spin.
"...Right. You might want to lie down for a bit.
"Squishy.

　Lara lays there with my lap as a pillow.

'What are you doing?'
"Kneecap.

　As it was, Lara was in my lap, rubbing her cheek against my lap.

　........................well, let's just let her do what she wants.

'Lara is ... not good with alcohol.

　Next to me, Cynthia was sipping a little budo juice.

'Totally. If this was the case, I'd probably get drunk after drinking about a barrel of booze.'
The only person who doesn't get drunk is a dragon. Most people die.

　I've never been much of a drinker in my previous life. But that doesn't mean I can't drink.
　In my past life, I once drank a drink with a volume the size of a mountain and went straight to hunting dragons.
　For the sake of my training, I dared to play tied up.

　Thinking about that, I was drinking grape juice, too.


Hey, hey!　Juice........you're a child. And I don't like the fact that you're making out with a girl!


　A huge man approached, flirting with me.

"Hey, Dirk don't do that. That man is a hero for saving our lives, right?

　Soon the man ... people gather around to stop Dirk.

　But Dirk swings his arms around and then.

'Ha!　Heroic or not, seeing a guy flirting with a woman, heroic or not, makes me buggered!

　I shouted.

　The force of his arm blows away the people around him who have tried to stop him.

'Are you drunk?'

　I looked at Dirk and saw a mug of ale poured in one hand.
　If you look closely, you can see that his feet are also wobbly.
　He's a vicious drunk.

''Hey ... my dear!

　Dirk's tongue hasn't moved.

"Get the hell away from the girl, or my iron fist will explode. Or my iron fist is going to explode.
'It wasn't me who approached Lara. It wasn't me who approached Lara, it was Lara who spoiled me. And yet it would be strange to ask you to get away from me, wouldn't it?
Shut up!

　As I said in the beginning, Dirk's fist flew up.

'Hmph.'

　I take it and slam it to the ground with a twist.

'Gubey!'

　Dirk screams like a crushed frog.
　The momentum of the momentum caused the mug to leave Dirk's hand.
　I use my gravity magic on it and hand it straight to my hand.
　Of course, not even a drop of ale has spilled from the mug.
　It's a precious wartime brew. I can't let it go to waste here.

"Don't do anything to discourage me," he said. "Don't do anything to discourage me," he said, "and you'll have to forfeit this bottle. Just stay here and calm down.

　As I continued to do so, the people around me cheered.

　◆ ◆

　The party is getting more exciting.
　But there was no sign of Riley.

'Kurt, where are you going...?'
It's just the night wind.

　I said that to Cynthia and I went outside to look for Riley.

　However, I was able to find Riley quickly.

'Riley, there you are!'

　There was Riley, staring up at the dark sky in the night breeze.

'Kurt,'

　Riley reflects.

'Is the feast over already?'
No, it's still a long night, I guess. People are still buzzing around inside.
Then why?
'I wanted to talk to Riley. So I snuck out.

　When I said that, Riley looked surprised for a moment.

　But soon.

Yeah, right. Yeah, I wanted to have a chat with you too.

　I said, looking away from me.

　'Why do you take your gaze off me?
　Plus my earlobes are red.

'Ummm ... first of all, Riley, can I ask you one question?'
That's funny. I'm going to have to ask Kurt.

　Face to face.

'Then let's say it at the same time.'
Let's do it.

　We stared at each other and opened our mouths, "I don't know.


'Why are you hiding the fact that you're a woman?'
I'm a woman.


　The content of what I wanted to say happened to overlap, and Riley rolled his eyes.

'Ki, you've noticed...'
Yeah, right from the start.

　From the moment I saw Riley, I felt a sense of discomfort, and when I read the surface of my memory, the gender was confirmed.
　The younger brother of the Foolish King Aurelian...or should I say sister Riley? The heroic revolutionary was a woman.

"Oh, I don't like to hide it either. Some people just lick you for being a woman. It's very convenient to be a man.

　Riley said with a twitch of his lips.

　This is inside the Aurelian's mind.
　Hence, if he can truly believe it, he can alter the facts.

　If so, is Riley's gender the result of that alteration?

　........No, it's unlikely. Because I don't feel the need to do so.
　

I'm sure you'll find it very easy to admit to that. I thought you'd deny it if I asked you a question.
Because I trust Kurt.

　Riley looks at me, his eyes straining.

'No I'd say I have to trust you. My revolutionary army is being squeezed. We're running low. At this rate, it won't be surprising if the Royal Army pushes us over the edge at any time.

　

　According to the official history, the Revolutionary Army should have continued to win at a breakneck pace and destroyed the Royal Capital Army as it was.
　
　It's just that little by little, Aurelian is beginning to think that they can win against Riley and the rest of the Revolutionary Army.

　But.

I'm not going to let you down. "Don't worry," he said, "I have a situation that requires me to take out Aurelian. I'll help you.
"....!　Thank you. You may think I'm a worm, but I've felt something for you since I saw you defeat the King's Army today.

　And Riley's upturned voice.

I want to avenge the king with my own hands. I think that's my job as a little brother or sister. But....!

　Riley puts his hands on his hips and draws his sword from its scabbard.

"If I'm not up to the task I will give this sword to Kurt. I want you to use it to slay that foolish king.
I'd be happy to do that for you.

　Of course, it's better that Riley avenge Aurelian himself.
　Of course, it's better for Riley to take out the Aurelian himself, because if he follows the proper history, the Aurelian will give up. That way, the annihilation of the core of magic will be a piece of cake.

　I'm going to have to look at Riley's sword and start analyzing it.

"That's a pretty good sword.
Do you understand? This is a sword made of magical stone. "Named Shell-Aves.

　It's only in the magic of Aurelian but this is a world 500 years ago.
　The decline of magical civilization due to Von Bask must be on its way.
　Compared to the present day, where people use Orihalcon as a sturdy material, the technology of a thousand years ago is probably still relatively intact.

It's time to go back. If we're not here, someone else might come looking for us.
Yeah.

　I replied and turned to go back into the building where Riley and I were having a party next to each other.

　But on the way, she stopped.

'Finally, Kurt, can I ask you one more question?'
What?
Where did Kurt come from?　No, you don't have to force me to talk. In times like these you don't want to talk a lot, you know.

　What, that's what I thought.
　I felt a bit of a letdown, but I said to myself, "Do you believe it if it's going to be 500 years from now?

"...would you believe it if I told you it was going to happen in 500 years?
Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Don't lie to me.

　In response, Riley laughed it off.
