“Ishid.”

 

“What can you do? I think you will lose your place soon.”

 

Under the breezy spring sun, Ishid, who answered softly, opened his eyes wide.

 

“… Huh?”

 

She frowned and had the urge to ask him what his words meant, but she couldn’t.

 

For Carlos had already come.

 

“What are you doing here?”

 

She heard a low gentle voice. He had been walking far from them, and before she realized, he was already in front of her.

 

He’s really fast. Nothing had happened to Ishid, but for some reason Carlos’ violet eyes looked at her and were still.

 

“Ah, Team Leader. May god reach his blessing to you, I am Ishid Fernando, one of the team members, is here to greet you…”

 

“Cut the greeting. Party?”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“Where is that party, and you’re going to sit beside Miss Rose?”

 

Ishid’s body hesitated and he was flustered ok trying to greet him properly.

 

Carlos’s face was shaded with questions.

 

“The party, that’s…….”

 

It wasn’t because Ishid had no one to accompany him. But she can’t say that Meichel ran away here because she was too embarrassed.

 

Rose understood Ishid a million times.

 

“And for your information.”

 

Carlos took the lead first during a short silence.

 

“I’m not here as a team leader now. Business hours are already over.”

 

“….”

 

“I think Mr. Fernando knows better what I am saying.”

 

The name has been changed. His intentions were clear as he leaned his head.

 

Ishid hardly gulped his saliva and hurried up from his seat. He has a sense of reading the room.

 

“… Yes, Your Highness. I understand. I didn’t mean to be rude. I beg your pardon.”

 

“Well, if you’re ready, go.”

 

“See you next time at work, Team Leader. Have a good time.”

 

Ishid gave Rose a glance and quickly turned his back and fled away. Even if he was preventing it from being obvious, he was definitely in a haste.

 

Well, don’t hesitate to tell it and just do it.

 

They were having a good conversation until they talked about our concerns, but he came to me on a day where she and Carlos have a date, so she only hated it.

 

She took her eyes from Ishid’s back and took Carlos by his collar.

 

“Did you have to put up your status?”

 

“To let him know that he has disturbed your private time.“

 

“Private, um, yes….”

 

In a word, Carlos scolded Ishid for disturbing their date.

 

She quickly understood Carlos’s feelings and nodded.

 

Before Ishid appeared, she was wondering what had happened. It was showing to see him popping out of nowhere.

 

The perception that he was a saboteur was justified.

 

“Where shall we go now? Is there any other place you want to go?”

 

“I don’t know yet, but why don’t we decide on our way? It hasn’t been long since I had lunch, so it’s good to take a light walk.“

 

There are many specialties in the Vladia Festival. She had learned it from a book but hadn’t experienced them.

 

She took his hand and stood up. As she stood up holding his hand, Carlos’s lips drew soft arcs.

 

“That’s what I am going to do. But if Miss wanted to do it, it’s better.”

 

Where did his cruel expression go that his words now sounded candy in her ears?

 

The hands she held, interlocked with her naturally.

 

Carlos pretended not to know, and led her out into the middle of the street.

 

In the meantime, she was glimpsing their hands intertwined while relaxing myself as if I didn’t want my body to get sick.

 

First of all, what is he doing?

 

‘You’re the one who’s acting cute.‘

 

People are getting cuter as they get old.

 

She looked straight at the corners of his lips which he held back from twitching.

 

The date went smoothly. Throughout the walk, no one spoke to them, recognizing her and Carlos.

 

She was sure that he had changed his uniform which required to prove that he belonged to the security department.

 

Above all, he, who had a prince status, was still unknown to the royal people.

 

‘That’s why Elchevita and he were able to have a peaceful tea time in the original novel.’

 

It was said that the two of them fell in love with each other through drinking tea.

 

This house was also a famous teahouse for having good taste, which nobles often visit.

 

Just in time, Carlos and Rose were walking right past it. From the original novel, this place was somewhere he already knows.

 

But she was just wondering. Don’t tell her that they would go there.

 

‘’I kinda don’t like that.’

 

Suddenly, in a mysterious emotion, she held his hand tighter than before.

 

For some reason, she felt uneasy.

 

“……? What’s the matter?”

 

“Nothing.’

 

She smiled awkwardly at Carlos, who felt the strength from her hand and tilted his head. She was a little embarrassed because she knows why.

 

For a moment, she was jealous of him. She’d tell him after 5.5 trillion years….

 

She lifted her gaze to him with a tilt of her head and spoke,

 

“Well, you know what? I don’t think I need tea time.”

 

“Is that all right?”

 

“Yes, I don’t like tea very much.”

 

Carlos looked strangely at her after saying that.

 

“…I see.”

 

What was that? It felt the same when she told him that she was graded F in the carriage.

 

It was the moment when his innocent violet eyes turned into distrust for the first in a long time.

 

Was it an obvious lie? Even as a person who enjoyed drinking different types of tea on her fictional days, it was a remark that pricked her conscience.

 

But she don’t want to go to that Teahouse

 

“Oh, um… Instead, I want to eat that.”

 

She pointed to anything she saw and changed the subject again. It was a skewer.

 

Wait, this isn’t it. What is that cotton candy doing there?

 

Carlos readily accepted what she had said while he remarked

 

“I’ve heard that there’s a separate stomach for food and snacks.“

 

She was ashamed hearing that, but he was indeed right.

 

Wait for me here. I’ll be right back.”

 

“Well, can I come with you?”

 

“I’d like to buy it for you myself. It won’t take long, so it’s okay.“

 

Carlos smiled lightly, saying, “I wanted to try this at least once.”

 

She was elated with her impulsive lie and couldn’t say anything.

 

Yes, I think I’m a real sinner…

 

“Well, yes… Have a safe trip.”

 

I finally decided to see Carlos off solemnly.

  

 

Well, having another skewer after lunch won’t make her feel sick.

 

It was when he was out of the crowded area.

 

When she was some distance away from Carlos, she felt a tingling sensation.

 

“….?”

 

She felt a chill on her back. Along with hairs which seemed to rise one by one.

 

She was certain that this feeling was something she has experienced before. What was this?

 

Shortly after questioning, she could see what it was.

 

Yes, a member of a terrorist organization I once met while working.

 

It was the same feeling she had when she met his eyes.

 

To put it simply, it was the feeling of ‘murderous intent’ from someone.

 

***

 

“Huh?”

 

The accident was cut off for a moment because of panic. It continued.

 

No, wait a minute. Murderous intent?

 

Why did she feel that way suddenly? Did she become crazy?

 

She looked around in haste even though she knew that it was simply ridiculous.

 

Even if the entire sky was surrounded by barriers to prevent accidents, exceptions existed.

 

Therefore, if a large force collides, the barrier could be compromised at any time.

 

‘Oh, my God. That can’t be!’

 

She was frightened that I swallowed her dry saliva.

 

It wasn’t as strong as anyone could feel, rather it was a subtle, but obvious feeling.

 

She looked as far and wide as she could. She observed each and every one of them.

 

However, there were so many people that it was impossible to select an exact suspect. There seemed to be no one in the corner between the stalls.

 

What was more crazy than that was that Carlos was not aware of this now.

 

“Team leader!”

 

“…… ”

 

“Team leader! Why can’t you hear me?!”

 

“….”

 

“Team leader, whoo… Team leader!

 

“….”

 

“Carlos! Hey, you punk!”

 

Unfortunately, her voice could not be heard.

 

Did someone stop him on purpose? Or was it because the surroundings were way too noisy?

 

Considering the distance from him, the cases will vary.

 

He was just talking to a street vendor, and even if she was frustrated, she couldn’t be this frustrated.

 

“You don’t look back at all!”

 

If Carlos felt alive, he would have looked this way at least once. She guessed he didn’t feel anything.

 

He didn’t see this side, but he was calmly accepting the grilled skewers.

 

It was utterly subtle that she felt it, but…

 

Another problem is that this energy is getting thicker but worse is, she was the only one who could feel it.

 

Furthermore, the most serious problem is that the target of murder would probably be Carlos.

 

“Oh, come on!”

 

Later, when she realized the purpose, she ran towards Carlos.

 

If she ran as fast as she could, she would arrive in 30 seconds, no, maybe 20 seconds? At the same time, as she was desperately speeding up, she could feel the intense feeling increasing.

 

This is a stage where people who have abilities could sense it, thus, the general public can naturally feel it.

 

At last the skewer was handed to him, and when Carlos, who had received it, looked at his side.

 

“… Miss?”

 

“Get down! If you don’t want to get hurt!”

 

She pulled down to the floor, holding his arm. Then, as if he had been waiting, a roar rang from all sides.

 

Boom! Boom!

 

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! My eardrums cracked. It was the sound of cracks in the walls of the sky.

 

The forces that had to go to Carlos seemed to have changed direction and attacked the sky.

 

The dense rose-shaped cracks soon became bigger.

 

The impact of the explosion was great.

 

The festival quickly turned into chaos.
