The night I taught Hermann unattributed magic: .......

(It's true that I've been having friends over to my house lately!
　And then Sherry reminded me.

Yeah, but what's up with that?

(I want to play too!!!)

(With that being said: ......)
　Tell the Emperor.

(Because when I go to school, I can't talk to Leo.)

(Shelly is surrounded by so many people every day.)

(Oh, can't you do something about that ...... really tiring . (Oh my God, can someone please comfort me!)

(Okay.) All right, but ...... will you get permission from His Majesty the Emperor?)

Well, I heard it first.

(Quintessential: ...... so?)

He told me to call the castle, not go to Leo's house.

(Okay, so I should just go, right?)
　Then the emperor will probably give you permission.
　It's easy for me to get there.

Yes. Plus, your father said he'd talked to you about it before.

Is that what the Emperor wants to talk about?
　Have I ever had to talk to the emperor about recent events~?

Yeah. They found Leo's house.

(Oh, by the way, I was supposed to get that as a reward.)
　I think I was supposed to get it when I got the Baron .

(So he wanted me to come over the next day off from school.)

All right, I'll be off next time. Well, I'll be on my next day off.

Yeah. I'll be waiting for you.


　And the next holiday.

　Leena and I are heading to the castle.
Speaking of which, Leo will have to live there when he gets a new house.

'Oh, come to think of it: ......
　For me, it's just easier to stay at home with my parents now!

I miss having to leave Leo-kun.

Yeah, I miss you too.
　Because you're going to be alone.

Are you sure?　I'm so happy for you!　I can't wait to see what kind of house we get.

It's exciting. But how big is the Baron's house?

I think it's bigger than most houses. It's a nobleman's house.

Yeah. I'll look forward to it: ......

　In the midst of this conversation.
　The stuffed bear that Leena has on her lap looks familiar and I'm very curious about it.

That stuffed animal is ......

This one?　This is Marie, who was built by Leo-kun.

'Oh, by the way, I built it!　How have you been doing?
　I remember. A healing bear I made a few months ago.

　And then that stuffed bear stood up.
Yes. Master Leo, you've been well.
　He bowed to me.

Oh, you should have moved.
　Oh, yes, I remember!
　Wasted fighting plush!

You built it yourself and then forgot about it?

No, I don't think so: ......

Are you sure? Marie is my emotional healing.
　Then Leena hugged the stuffed bear.

'Looks like it. I'm sorry about this.

"Yeah, yeah, don't be sorry. Thank you for making that for me. I feel better knowing that Marie is here for me.

'What?　Loneliness?
　I never imagined that the always cheerful Leena would feel so lonely.
　Is she going to be okay?　I'm starting to worry: .......

'Oh, it's not a big deal. It's just that I'll miss my hometown occasionally.



That's true: ......
　That's right. How did I not realize that .......
　I'm living away from the land I'm used to ...... of course I'm going to miss you.

'Oh, I'm fine!　You don't have to worry so much about it!

'Really?　Come to think of it, what kind of place did Leena live in?
　I hadn't heard about Leena's hometown at all.

'Well, I lived with my grandmother in a place with lush greenery and a view of the ocean.

'What?　Didn't you live in the city?
　Because she's a saint.
　Wouldn't it be better to keep it in the center of the country?

'Yes . I did go to the capital a few times a year, though: ......

'Oh, right. ...... Okay. I'll take Leena home one day.

It's okay, ......, I can't do it anymore anyway.
　Leena muttered with a dark look on her face .

'It's not true!　I promise I'll take you with me.
　I've decided. I'm going to get you there.
　I've got the transference, so can you just hang on and keep going?

I understand. You have my word.
　Lena smiled and said.

'Yes, I promise.'

　Then they arrived at the castle and were shown to the room where the emperor was.
　In the room I was led to was the emperor, Shelly and Elise.

Hi, Leo, good to see you. And it's nice to meet you, Rihanna.
　The first thing the Emperor said was.

"Long time no see.

Hi. Nice to meet you.
　Leena seems nervous about her first emperor.

Okay, let's get on with the tour of Leo's house. Elise, it's a pleasure to meet you.

I understand.
　In reply, Elise began to explain.

'First of all, the mansion I'm giving to Leo-kun was owned by the richest man in the Empire until ten years ago.

'What?　That sounds great. But what happened to the millionaire?

That person lives in a much larger mansion in the Imperial City.

Oh, really. I thought you'd gone bankrupt or something.

That's not true. I'm still the richest man in the Empire.

It sounds awesome that someone like that originally had a house.

It's great. Anyway, I'm going to go look at the house now.

Now?
　I turned to Sherry.
　Because I had come here today to play with Shelly.

　And Sherry smiled at me.
"Don't worry about it. She asked me to come with you.

You got a green light?
　Did the Emperor give you permission to do this?
　I turned to the Emperor in question.

"I know you've been struggling at school lately. I felt badly for you if you didn't let him have a break. With Elise with you, she won't have to worry about you.

I see. ......

Okay, we'll be quick.
　Sherry was excited.

'All right, .......'
　How are you? .......

'Oh, wait, I'll take Billy with me.'
　She pointed to the stuffed animal Leena was holding and then she ran off.

　Then she stopped by Shelly's room and got in the carriage.

Shelly took good care of that stuffed animal: ......
　I chuckled as I looked at Shelly, who was hugging her stuffed animal.

"Of course I do. Being with Billy helps me heal.

Yeah, right: ......
　Come to think of it, you have those skills: .......

'Do you have Marie and Berry to consult with you?'

Yeah, he's on board.


Yes, they'll give you a ride.

I see. ......

　As well as Leena's troubles.
　Even though Sherry is surrounded by so many people every day.
　Maybe it's this stuffed animal that keeps me from hating school: .......

　Really, all kinds of stuffed animals.
　Sorry I forgot.

Sorry to interrupt you. What kind of stuffed animal is that?　It looks so pretty, but is it really that great?
　Elise asked if our conversation was too much to worry about.

"Yes, it was. Billy, go ahead and say hi.
　Shelly made the stuffed animal stand up.

'Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Billy, the princess's personal counsellor.
　He introduced himself dutifully and bowed.

"Ugh, did you move and talk?
　The usually calm Elise looked surprised.

''It's like a golem I created with my creation magic.

''Well, it's quintessential: ...... I've heard a lot of things about it, but when you see it in person, ...... creative magic is incredibly awesome.''

Is that right?
　It's embarrassing to be told that much: .......

'Normally, golems can't act this freely, or even talk to each other.

Yeah, right: ......

'Yes. ...... Oh, we're almost there.
　Already?

You're closer to the castle than I thought. It's about halfway between where I live and the castle.

　When we arrived and got out of the carriage, we found .......
　There was a mansion there that couldn't compete with the Duke's house, but it was magnificent enough with a garden with a fountain .
　Moreover, the house is beautiful and looks great.

''It's much bigger than I thought it would be!
　Is the Baron's house this big?

That's good. Come on, let's go inside.
　Sherry just rushed us.

　Elise unlocks the house.

　She opens the door and looks in.
　There's no furniture or anything else, so it has a lonely atmosphere, but the view from the entrance is fantastic.
　As you enter, there is a large staircase in front of the entrance, which leads to the second floor and a vaulted ceiling.
　The interior is decorated with elaborate carvings.

This is amazing. This is the house of a millionaire.

'I can't imagine moving to a new house after living in such an awesome house,'

The man now lives in an even more awesome house.

How much money do you have? ......

''Yes. I'm in the business of selling magic tools, and most of the magic tools in this country are their products.

That sounds like a lot of money: ......
　Life in this world requires magic tools.
　It's like appliances from a previous life.
　You can take that profit alone .......

''That's why we can waste money like this ...... and waste time talking about this here, so let's go check the room immediately.

　Then we went through the rooms one by one.
　This house isn't just the front door, but every room is decorated in a luxurious manner.
　The most important is the large bathroom, which is too big for me to use by myself.

How's that?　Do you like it?

Yeah, I love it.
　I'm too good for that.

That's good to hear. This house is your house from tomorrow, Leo, so you can do what you want with it.

Like it or not: ......
　I started thinking about how I'd use the house: .......
