Legend of Eudemons

Keena didn't sleep well.Because I was thinking about Shiratori last night.And his last kiss was too sudden.Even though it was just a light kiss on the cheek, Kayna's hairs stood on end.I woke up several times during the night, and I didn't fall into a deep sleep until early in the morning, so I was woken up just after I slept comfortably. I was in a bad mood, and I didn't want to get up.

Shiratori stood at the door, his usual elusive smile on his face.

Keina changed his clothes, and the two of them didn't speak during breakfast, but he secretly glanced at Shiratori three or five times.The awkward atmosphere seemed to continue.The female officer trio clearly felt it.

"...What should I do? The atmosphere of those two people is very strange."

The trio muttered quietly, with Margaret speaking first.

"I've already said what I should say. In the final analysis, it still depends on the two of them." Amy replied.

"You said everything! There is no suggestion at all, just your own opinion." Kelly said.

"Then can you figure it out? Suggestion." Amy replied to her.

Both Kelly and Margaret were silent.

"Looks like you didn't sleep well, Your Highness."

Shiratori spoke first, with a polite smile on his face that made Kaina feel subtly uncomfortable.

"How could it be good! It's not because of you—" Kena puffed out, unable to hide his bad mood, but only looked at Shiratori for the first moment, and then immediately turned his eyes away.The heavy air that hesitated to speak was still surging.

"I said, shouldn't we stay away and let them talk quietly?" Margaret said quietly and in a low voice.

"Why do we provide this service?"

"We are female officials, working for the prince. You see, the prince seems to be in a bad mood, but it's not that we are not here to talk?" Margaret said.

Kelly was moved by her: "Mary... so you are so considerate of the prince... I still feel that you are talking about it—!"

"..." Margaret smiled at her crookedly.This is too honest to tell the truth.But they are companions who have worked together for many years, like close friends, so they will not be angry.

Amy raised her eyebrows: "Mary, actually, you just want them to have something, right? I had this vague feeling before."

"That's your illusion! I just hope that the prince can make good friends and be happy."

Amy didn't believe it, but heeded the suggestion, and the three quietly withdrew.

"Okay, the three female officers have left." Shiratori said while drinking coffee, "It's a trio who cares about you and knows how to read the atmosphere. You can say whatever you want."

"Nothing in particular to say."

"That's not the case in my opinion. You're in a worse mood this morning than last night. Yesterday was at best an anxious or confused mood, but today it's completely angry."

Shiratori sighed through his nose, "Because I teased you last night? I thought about it carefully, I shouldn't have done that, sorry."

Unexpectedly, he apologized so bluntly, and Kena was a little surprised and puzzled.

"Maybe I took advantage of that atmosphere. It was indeed a careless behavior. I thought it was fun at the time. After thinking about it, I am such an old man, and I still tease children in that way. What are you thinking? It's all my fault that I didn't consider the mood of the innocent little prince being molested."

He used a very understated tone, but his words and sentences were not frivolous.And looking directly at Kenner, it is impossible to escape such a conversation.

"Just now I had a little chat with the chief female officer. I also thought of something because of it," he exhaled, and continued: "We met in an emergency, and after that, we were mainly thinking about the follow-up impact of that incident. , the decision to become your assistant officer is also mainly out of safety considerations, my personal opinion. Even if you strongly objected at the time, I might not listen to it—anyway, the result is now like this. At that time, due to some objective factors , everything was decided in a hurry, and we didn’t have time to think about our relationship carefully. Think about it. We haven’t known each other for a long time, and we don’t know what kind of person each other is, and whether we get along well. ——If we want to live together in the future, There must be a lot of unpleasant interactions."

Kena became alert: "...Why are you saying this? Are you saying that you regret your decision to become my assistant officer?"

Is it too late to say this now?

"On the contrary. I think the little prince should consider it more carefully. The post of assistant officer is usually for life, and once it is decided, it will not be changed at will. Of course, I will act more cautiously in the future, but if the little prince thinks it is inappropriate , I will not use any excuses and guarantees for the future to try to force you to stay as your assistant officer. Now, the official letter of appointment has not yet been issued, and you still have two days to think about it."

"Shiratori, is this a complaint against me?"

"Why would you think that way. I sincerely apologize, and nothing has happened to make me angry. It is true that I have thought about it, but it is out of consideration for the future."

Kayna frowned, still doubtful of his assurances.

"—and, you don't think that my complaint can be expressed in such a few calm words."

Kaina shrank back without a trace.That's right, if the fire is really big, Shiratori might make a move, even if he doesn't make a move, he won't be so calm.That's a really convincing guarantee.

"I didn't say this to express the meaning of 'I don't want to do this job anymore, so you can find someone else'." Shiratori smiled sweetly like a child. "Because I proposed to do this myself, I will be responsible to the end if possible."

"right."

Kena felt a little relieved in his heart, but his face was still neither surprised nor happy.

"It's neither a complaint to me, nor a resignation, so don't make such a serious atmosphere. Talk about such a serious topic." Kena turned his face away, trying to keep Shiratori's face from appearing in his eyes In the line of sight, dodging the line of sight. "I also accept your apology."

"Then I'm really happy," Shiratori said lightly, his eyes keenly caught Kena's nervous reaction, "but I'm very serious." He paused, took a deep breath, and smiled : "Even though I teased you yesterday, you didn't look that angry. In fact, I didn't feel much until the lady officer talked to me this morning. However, your reaction when you saw me for the first time today It was weird, so I thought about it more carefully."

"It's...it's because..." Keina tilted his head even further.But after all, he didn't say why: "Anyway, it's not because of what you said last night—"

"Having been hesitating all the time, doesn't it make people more concerned?"

"..."

"I didn't say anything when I had something in my heart. It was because I couldn't communicate well that I asked you to reconsider. It's not only awkward for me to maintain such a weird atmosphere, the little prince also feels sad, doesn't he?"

I really feel sad, but if I want to say it, I really don't know how to say it!

I don't know other people's troubles, and I can talk endlessly by myself!

"What, did you have a dream about me? That's why you dare not face my sight?"

"what?!"

Kaina jumped up from the chair all of a sudden, staring at Shiratori with wide eyes.

"...I'm just talking casually," Shiratori was also surprised that he reacted so violently, blinking and blinking, and the two stared at each other for a few seconds.

"Cai, Cai, Cai didn't do it! Spring dream or something!"

Kayna's cheeks flushed and she bit her lip.His eyes were wide open, with an unquestionable look.

It looks like a weak animal blowing fur at a predator, hoping to scare it away.

Shiratori has never seen Kena put on airs like a prince in front of him since he knew Kena.On the one hand, Kaina is a person who has no airs, and on the other hand, he also understands that Shiratori doesn't like that at all.But now he seems to be relying on his status as a prince, hoping that Shiratori will listen to him.Of course it was futile, and he knew it himself, but at this moment he had no other choice, it was completely an unthought-out behavior caused by nervousness.

Shiratori was just joking at first, but seeing his reaction now, he guessed half or half of it, and felt a little funny in his heart.

"Did you really do it?"

"no!"

Keena growled. "Can you stop mentioning this! Just now, you said it so seriously like an adult, and you didn't consider my mood when you said it. Are you thinking about it now?"

"I see. Don't ask any more." Shiratori smiled consolingly, and stretched out his hand to the opposite side of the table, as if to touch Kena's head, but seeing Kena's stiff expression, his arms were hanging in the air. fell, but retracted again.

"I'll go for a short walk. The little prince will be back before he goes to class."

Kayna noticed that he had turned his back on him when he said this.
