[Lord Conan] Bourbon's Lover is Japan

"Have you calmed down yet?"

"……Um."

Bourbon took the cup from her hand, refilled the warm tea, and put it back in her hand, trying to bring her cold body back to life with this warmth.

The wet sailor suit was replaced, and Eguchi, who had changed into men's clothes that didn't fit well, still had a hair towel on his head.

She had a sickly flush on her face, but her expression was much more relaxed.

Bourbon didn't ask her much.

Just like the night Scotland left, it was a kind of understanding that melted in the air.

The pain is too obvious, so I don't go out of my way to expose people's scars.

...unless the other party is willing to mention it.

And what could Eguchi say.

It's not as simple as just important people dying.

Thinking of this, her heart ached.

Scotland would email Bourbon on his deathbed.She also got in touch with Wang before his death.

It was a "sorry".

Eguchi knew exactly what the apology was for.

The Red King fell from the sword, but the Green King failed to stop it, and Weitzman's deviation value soared.In order not to injure the already dilapidated Japan a second time, he asked his confidant to kill himself.

It's what the king would do.

...What about myself?

I regard the king as the meaning of my life, and regard the king's order as the navigation of life.She believed that her king was so powerful, and never thought about the death of the king.

...What should Eguchi do now.

Only Qing Wang knew about her undercover actions, and even Shan Tiao Gang Yi knew nothing about it.His own files were completely deleted, even if the next Qing Wang took office, he would not know that Scepter4 had Eguchi.

Eguchi had nowhere to go.

"...I don't want to get stuck in..."

She murmured brokenly, as if she was talking to herself, but also as if she was confiding to Bourbon.

"...but...if that person is gone...what's the point of me doing this kind of thing...?"

Wang is gone, and even the liaison officer doesn't know her real identity.Eguchi seems to have completely disappeared from this world, leaving only "Aimi Eguchi".

So what if he found a clue that Wang wanted to investigate by himself?Who can she prove her identity to and report the progress of the task to whom?

She is a person with a poor sense of direction.During school, I told Scotland several times that she got lost in school. Without the help of others, without a map, it would be difficult for her to find the right track.

So now, the king has disappeared, and her guidance is gone. What should I do if I get lost?

What should I do?

"--estuary."

A deep male voice called her back from the trance.

"estuary."

Like an anchor dropped in the deep sea.

She saw the sign and grabbed the floating chain.

"--estuary."

Then she saw the bottom of the boat, and she saw the surface of the sea.

She lifted her head and breathed air.

"—drink, ha, uh...drink ha, ha..."

At some point, Bourbon had already arrived in front of her, holding a bag around her mouth, and patted her back.

Eguchi's body trembled slightly, his eyes felt dizzy, and his lungs throbbed with pain.

"What's wrong with me?"

"I'm out of breath. Feeling okay?"

Shaking his head uncomfortably, shaking off the tears from the corners of his eyes, Eguchi adjusted slowly with the help of the plastic bag.

After about 2 minutes, she finally calmed down.

"...Sorry to trouble you...

"No. You can rest here tonight." Patting her on the shoulder, Bourbon got up, his face darkened, "There is no guest room here, if you don't mind, you can sleep in my room."

"Um...thank you."

"Although you don't know what happened, it's better not to think so much."

"……Hey?"

Eguchi was at a loss.

The man who stood up - even though he looked young could not be exaggerated - looked at her under the soft and warm yellow light and said.

"If you do something for a certain person, then even if that person leaves, wouldn't it be good if you insist on fulfilling his wish? Lost direction or something, it doesn't look like you at all, Eguchi."

Insist on fulfilling... his wish?

What is the king's wish?

The king is "order".The king is "reasonable".The king is "controlling".

As the king of the clan... Even if it is no longer, she still yearns for that gentle, powerful, and rational man.

The "I'm sorry" he sent was definitely not to watch his former clan fall into a dark whirlpool.

Rather, he would have hoped that she would get away in time.

but.

Wang did not take back the order.

The task is not done.

Eguchi's bent back gradually straightened, and her eyes became firmer.

"Order" and "rationality" are paramount, and she cannot let her confused emotions drag herself into chaos and lose her original purpose.

"...Thank you, Bourbon. Thank you very much."

Eguchi said softly.

Without Bourbon's reminder, without the call to "Eguchi," it might have taken her a long time to pull herself out.

Bourbon was just plain: "No, it's just a courtesy."

When Scotland left, the opponent gave him the strength to persist.Then when the other party is confused, he might as well give it a hand.

I'm afraid that someone who was very important lost their lives in the Kanagawa earthquake.Bourbon thought.

He had never seen Eguchi so distraught.She has always acted less like her peers, whether it was when they first met four years ago or now.

Living under the same roof for three years, all three of them have seen each other's injuries due to work.But at that time, Bourbon had never seen Eguchi cry.

No matter how well he concealed it with rain, the mournful, battered smell couldn't hide from his eyes.

As if, if he didn't give her a hand, it seemed that in two days he would hear the news of the organization's top killer Yamazaki committing suicide.

That's not what Scotland wants to see.

...that would not be what he wanted to see.

Bourbon gave up the bedroom to Eguchi.If it wasn't for this accident, he should still be dealing with public security duties.Now it seems that it is better to wash and sleep.

Even though someone else was there, neither of them would actually go to sleep.

After a simple wash, they said good night to each other, and Eguchi entered the bedroom.

She left the bedroom door open, lest Bourbon would think she was going to search his room.

I don't know if he will think so, but in short, it is right to do so.

She climbed onto the bed, lay flat in a standard manner, raised the quilt to her chin, and smelled the man's scent at the tip of her nose.

Eguchi was not a little girl who would blush for contact with men.

There is gradually warmth in the bed, how comfortable it is compared to the storm outside.

What a blessing compared to those who have suffered and lost their families.

Need to cherish.

Eguchi thought.

Even a powerful king will leave, so cherish those who are kind to you in time and protect them well.

Scotland is a successful example.

Eguchi doesn't have many close friends.King counts as one, Scotland counts as one, and Bourbon should also count as one.

One missing, one gone.

one left.

Eguchi closed his eyes.

one left.
