I caught the assassin, so I called Commander Anne, who was at my side.
Christo, who was by my side at the time, took over for Commander Anne and spoke to me through his magic tool.
I''m glad to see that guy is safe and well, since he''s being targeted this time.
It''s possible that they could be poisoned, so be careful what you eat.
"Eric, I''ll give you a second.
Hmm? Yeah, okay.
We''re chatting and suddenly Christo says that and is replaced by someone else.
Nine out of ten, I think it''s Commander Anne.
He was replaced by that guy who forced me to take it away from him, so it''s only natural.
I switch from talking to my best friend to talking to my boss.
I''m sure you''re not the only one.
''Yes ... hmm? Isn''t that Commander Anne...?
It was a female voice, but wasn''t it Commander Anne?
Who is it ... Christo''s maid, Alisa?
No, wait.
I know what that sound was.
"It''s Irene Harzion.
''What? Irene!
His words, his voice, startled me out loud.
With a huff, I cover my mouth and look around.
I''m hiding and acting now to find the assassin.
Shouting this loudly would interfere with my mission.
Fortunately, there was no one around....
I take a deep breath and put my ears and mouth close to the magic tool again.
''''Eh, no, I mean.......why is Irene.......?''''
"...well, I don''t understand either.......I''m sorry....
Oh, no, I''m not trying to make Irene apologize to you.
What, why am I talking to Irene through my grimoire?
What''s going on here?
Did Christo suddenly give it to Irene?
No, but how is that possible?
Giving the princess of a country a magic tool and making her talk to me, a mere soldier.
Maybe Christo realizes that I like Irene, but I don''t think he would be so rude to her in this situation....
''Why would Irene, the magic tool...?
"Oh, I, uh, I hope I''m not bothering you...?
I''m not bothering you! I''m happy to talk to Irene, but...!
"....!
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Let me calm down.
Am I saying something outrageous right now?
No, I''m happy.
I''m happy to talk to Irene, that''s for sure.
I''m talking to a woman I loved in a previous life, albeit for the first time in this life, through a magical tool.
I met her once before, but we could hardly talk then.
So I''m extremely happy to be able to talk to her now.
''''Um, I don''t know either, but Alisa-san told me to talk to Eric-sama...''''
Alisa? What, why?
"Wow, I don''t know...
Why did Alisa, Christo''s maid, arrange for Irene and I to talk?
Does he know that I like Irene, too?
Christo, did you tell him? I''ll definitely question him next time.
I mean, Arisa, aren''t you being really rude?
Did you say that to the princess of a country?
From a moment ago, nothing but questions have come to my mind.
''''Ah, well, it''s not that Arisa-san forced me to do this.......as a punishment.......!
Punishment?
"Oh, yes, I''m friends with Alisa-san, and...
What? You''re friends now?
"Yes, yes...
To Irene, my friend.........
Well, well..........
It''s a good thing, Irene. I''m glad you have a friend.
"What...?
Me and Irene were like friends at first, but then, out of nowhere, we became a man and a woman.
And at the time, we were talking about how we wanted friends.
Especially friends of the same s*x.
But in a previous life, we were on the run, so we didn''t have much time to get involved with other people.
That''s why in my previous life, I didn''t make friends until I died.
In this life, it''s good to know that you''ve made a friend.
"Oh, thank you very much...
''No, you can''t thank me for that. Irene acted and became my friend, so you must be awesome at Irene.
''''No, no, Alisa-san is very kind to me, and I''m glad she became my friend...''''
''Something, not. I found Irene attractive, and that''s why Alisa became my friend.
"Agh...!
I heard a strange, very pretty cry at the end.
It''s the first time I''ve heard it before, had I heard it in a previous life...?
.... oh, wait a minute.
Wasn''t I talking a lot like I was talking to Irene in a previous life?
In this world, I''ve never even spoken to Irene at all.
Rather, our positions are completely different, a princess of one country and a soldier of another country.
..............................Oh no, oh no, oh no!
I didn''t have time to think about whether Alisa was rude or not!
It was me being rude the whole time, in the present day!
"I can''t do it anymore. I''m sorry, I''ll switch.
Oh, Irene! ........sir!
Irene suddenly said that, and I couldn''t hear Irene''s voice anymore.
''''.........Eric Aulin.''''
'' Ha, yes, Commander Anne, is it?
Yes.
The next voice I heard was the indifferent voice of Commander Anne.
''''Is that all you have to say from that side?''''
''Yes, yes. I''ll get back to you if I hear anything else.
"All right ... and be careful not to seduce a foreign princess.
''What? I don''t mean...!
So long.
Commander Anne said and immediately lost contact with the magic tool.
.....Haha, I really did it.
What if Irene hates me........
