92 Chapter 89




 

 He was planning to go with Fira to see the play, but he wanted to look around the city before he went.
 For that reason, I was to follow along with her.
 When I arrived at the garden of the Arsus family's house, I was waiting there for Miss Feela.

 It seemed that the play was already on its way to today's venue, and no one was here.
 I heard that there were several plays a day, but I didn't know how many I was supposed to see today until I saw them.

 And while I was looking around, Miss Feela came in with her maid in tow.
 I was a little surprised, because Miss Feela's costume was calm and unaristocratic.
 The one she is wearing is probably tailored for a commoner.

 However, Ms. Fira's natural elegance does not hide it.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

What do you think? Isn't it strange?
Yes, it looks great on you.

 It wasn't flattering or anything, he meant it.
 Miss Fira's mouth relaxed. I'm relieved that I wasn't wrong in my reply.

'Good. For the sake of disguise, I decided to dress modestly. ........I thought it might not look too good on you--
No, you don't.

 Miss Fira loosened her mouth and then crossed her arms.
 What is it? Miss Fira turned her gaze slightly outward and then put one hand in front of her.

'Hey, Lelius is like my knight today.
....

 What, what are you talking about?
 They're supposed to accompany us, but I'm sure the knights are watching us from afar.
 Does this mean that I'll have to move if the knights can't handle it?

 It's not that I'm not satisfied with my actions, but isn't there something I can't handle if something happens?
 I was a little worried about that, but Feara-san waved her hand lightly.

"So.........you're going to have to escort me properly.
Okay.

 Since I was anxious, I looked at the knights around me, but they only nodded their heads in a small way.
 Okay.........that's it, right?
 When I grabbed Fira-san's hand, she let out a small 'hiya' and jumped up on her shoulder.

''Da, are you okay!
'I'm fine! I'm coming!

 Miss Fira pulled my hand away and walked away.
 ........wasn't I the one escorting her?
 With doubts in my mind, I left the mansion with Miss Fira.

 After walking through the nobleman's district for a while, the streets gradually became more and more relaxed.
 We walked side by side as we reached the commoner's district, a town used by ordinary citizens.

 Every once in a while, Fira-san squeezes my hand.
 ........When she does that, I can't help but be aware of Miss Feara.
 When I think about it, when I think about it, it's the first time we've held hands and gone out together like this.

 Probably since the time I went out with Rin when I was little.
 I don't want to be too conscious of Miss Feela. As I took a deep breath, she pecked me on the shoulder.

'Hey, Lelius.'
What's this?
How much does Relius know about this city?
Not very well, no.

 As I have done before, I haven't been able to take my time looking around the city this time either.
 But I do know roughly where to find out what's there.

In that case, I'll show you the city.
Are you sure you're sure? Don't you want to get to work, Miss Fira?
I'll be fine. I just want to look around the city.

 That makes me feel like I'm not going to be able to talk about escorting her around, but - oh well.
 There's no way I'm going to be able to escort Feela-san around this city.

''Well then, please.
Yeah, I'll take care of it.

 Feela-san smiles and then re-shakes my hand and starts to walk away.
 After looking at the main facilities such as the guild, we are introduced to some of Feela-san's favorite shops that she visits from time to time.

 Feela-san tried to hide her face, but even so, it seems that people can tell when they see her. Sometimes we saw people looking at us and gossiping about us a few times.
 That's right. Since she was the daughter of the lord who ruled this city, everyone must at least know her face.

 Fira-san hid her face in embarrassment every time she saw it.

 After getting a drink at a nearby shop, we headed to the theater.
 The seats ... the special seats reserved for the nobility.
 I sat in that seat with Fira-san.

 We are currently in the process of changing the audience.
 While everyone else was standing in a long line, I walked in through the aristocrat-only entrance.
 I felt a little bad about it, but I guess that's the privilege of being a nobleman and providing a place to live. ........I didn't really do anything, though.

 An atmosphere of enjoyment could be felt from Feela-san, who sat deeply in her chair.

'Do you usually watch plays and stuff, Relius?
''Well I don't watch much. What about you, Miss Fira?
I've seen most of the companies I've traveled with. I've been to all the plays I've traveled to, including this one.

 That's probably all you'll ever see while you're in town.

I've seen it once and I know the story and all, so I don't mind seeing it a second time.
What? What? I mean, it's not the same every time, and if you like, you can enjoy the fact that the casting changes.

 ...Oh, I see.
 The tone and volume of the voice and gestures will vary from person to person.
 That's what I enjoy about it.

 This is something that can only happen to Ms. Feira, who is used to performing in plays.
 For me, I enjoy the story, but Ms. Feara has gone beyond that.

 However, it's different for each person, which is similar in some ways to blacksmithing.
 I understood her feelings a little better.

'Sounds like it's about to start.

 Before you know it, the guests are finished changing over and the venue is ready to go.
 A skill falls on the stage. It's a skill that covers the surroundings with darkness. After that, a light illuminates one spot. 
 

 Her beautiful and powerful voice echoed.
 
 It's Ristina-san as a performer that's there.

 She has the power to change the atmosphere around her in an instant, and I could tell that even by looking at the face of Fira-san who was next to her.
 Everyone in the hall was paying attention to Ms. Ristina - and I found myself concentrating on the play.
