104 104 "Melancholy of a certain signboard girl ①"




"Huh. ......

 I let out a big sigh and my name is Mina Ellein.
 I'm a girl who runs a small diner here in the city of Mir.

 The reason for my sighing is because of an incident that happened the other day.
 The incident was about the awakening of the World Tree centered on my benefactor, Mr. Kyou, and it was something difficult to talk about, but I behaved badly to Mr. Kyou on that matter anyway.
 It's not exactly me, or rather I had lost my memory: ...... but that's just me, so that's me, too.
 Anyway, the point is that I behaved badly towards Kyou-san.

 Later on, there was an explanation and apology to me and everyone around me, and Kyou-san didn't seem bothered by it, but I still don't agree with my feelings.
 I'm not sure if that's why I've been acting so awkwardly towards Mr. Keogh lately.

...... What am I going to do about it?

 Although it was not my fault, I was running my store today in a reluctant attitude, hoping to find an opportunity to reconcile with them somewhere, when a couple of men who looked familiar came into the store.

It's been a while, diner girl Mina.

"? Who will?

 They looked like a pair of brothers, well dressed like royalty and aristocracy, but I still remembered seeing them somewhere else.
 But my memory of where we met is hazy.

Yes, we've met once before, but it was only for a moment. I haven't said my name, so I'll tell you my name again. My name is Rostam. I am Rostam, emperor of the Empire of Albrus and holder of the title of imperial hero. ......

 I just remembered.
 It's this guy.
 Because of this Emperor Yuusha or whatever he's called, Kyou-san and I got into an awkward situation.
 So I hit him with a frying pan in my hand with all my might.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not going to be able to get away with it. ...... Well, that's the least you could do. If it makes you feel better, you can hit him all you want: ......

 I took you up on your offer and punched him in the face one more time.
 I punched him a few times and he calmed down, so I decided to ask him again what he wanted to do.

Of course. I wanted to express my disappointment in your relationship with Kyou-kun.

 Huh?
 What the hell does that mean?
 With a question mark in my head, the man who claimed to be the emperor said the unexpected words out of his mouth

In short, I want to welcome you to our country's upcoming party.

"Huh?

 I can't help but make a silly noise.
 But that's as it should be, and why would you suddenly invite me to a party?
 When I was thinking that, they explained it to me.

"Well, it's a so-called apology party for Kyou-kun. Of course, we have invited him to be the star of the party. At the party, we are going to give him all sorts of relaxation, and how about you escort him in a dress?

 I can't help but imagine the scene when asked how it would be.
 The emperor said that he also prepared an event for two people, and they cooked on the balcony while looking at each other slowly.
 A conversation between a man and a woman in a romantic atmosphere.
 I could not help but blush as I imagined the scene.

We will prepare the dress and all other decorations. Of course, all accommodations and participation are provided free of charge. You and Kyou should rest at our castle for a while. I'd be happy to make some amends for your disappointment.

 Nah, I see. It's not bad: .......

 I've never had a dress or a party in my life, so such an unexpected invitation was a bit of a shock to my heart, but I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to be alone with Keogh, so I took the Teio's hand, even though I had mixed feelings about it, as he offered it to me.

...... Miss Mina, ...... I want to tell you one thing: ....... It's not my brother Rostam that brainwashed you, it was me. ...... My brother was only in charge of orchestrating the plan, and I was the one who actually carried it out. ...... So if you have a grudge, please, not my brother, but mine Hate me more ......

 The person who said so was the man in black who came here with the emperor before and apologized to him.
 Oh, come to think of it, ever since this man touched me on the shoulder, I've felt something strange.

 I said, "I understand," and punched him a few times with a frying pan.








He said, "It's a party ......" ......

 It's a very good idea to have a good time with them.
 It's a good thing that you have a delicious role to play in this case, since Mina was certainly the victim, but a romantic dinner for two people alone!
 Plus, there should be dancing and escorting at the party!
 What's more, the two got into a good mood, and the starry sky on the window sill was rapidly approaching, and from the clap of their shoulders, which they even unexpectedly bumped into, their faces were close to each other, and their lips were .......

It's ----!!!!

 Why do you think so much of it?

 It's funny.
 I'm sure you're curious about their relationship, but there's no need to be so upset about it: ......
 Oh, that's funny, isn't it?
 This makes me feel like I'm jealous of our relationship: ......?
 As I was groaning with such misty emotions, with my head in my hands, I heard a voice from behind me.

I'm sure you're in trouble, Lily.

What do you want, Amanes?

 The smug voice alone made me recognize the owner of the voice without turning around.
 I mean, what are you really doing here.
 You and the emperor, for a man at the top of his game, act too freely.

I was invited to a party by Rostam's guy.

"Huh?

 Then why don't you talk to me.
 That guy.

Maybe it's because this party is hosted by Kyou and Mina?

 Does that mean I'm a distraction?
 Okay, we'll kill him later.



"Don't look so scared, Lily. That's why I asked you to come with me to the party.

"Eh! Really? Are you sure?!

Of course. After all, I can dress up my little Lily in a pretty dress and escort her around, it's a chance you can't pass up!

 And then wiping the drool off the drool, Amanes.
 Oh, that's right.
 So this guy was that kind of guy.

Well, that's about 60% of what he meant, but 40% of it was just simple support for you. I like you and Kyou, so I'll be rooting for you in your relationship.

 It's not that I'm not in a relationship with him.
 It's not like that between me and him: ......
 The moment I thought that, I could feel my face flushing.






It's a gorgeous castle.

 The Imperial Castle of the Albrus Empire spreads out in front of me.
 The other day, Rostam, who visited me the other day, invited me to come to his imperial party tonight, and I came for a free meal.
 With that in mind, as you are about to enter the castle, the door of the castle opens and a beautiful woman you do not recognize appears through it.

 A woman with brown skin and long black hair, an Arabian beauty.
 She is tall, with breasts to match, a waistline, and a pudding ass, and she is quite good-looking.
 The dress that she wears is just as glittering as the person she's wearing, and as you admire her figure, she comes closer to you and smiles as if she's welcoming you.

"Finally, you're here, Keogh. I've been waiting for you.

 Hey, how did you know my name?
 I mean, do you know each other.
 I was puzzled at the unexpected call from the beautiful woman, when she laughed and said her name.

Hahahahaha, what do you mean? Of course I know you, what do you mean? Can't you see it in this form? Now, let me introduce myself again. My name is Rostam, the Emperor and Hero.

 Ah, Mr. Rostam.
 I see, the whole atmosphere is exactly the same: .......

"Hey!

 Why are you becoming a woman! And then, he went into a grand gesture.
 In contrast, Rostam, a beautiful woman in front of me, and before I knew it, he (?) was standing next to her. s brother Sachaque was seen sighing.

What, you forget already? I am an SS-ranked behemoth and this appearance is due to my humanizing abilities. Then I can at least change my gender. Well, I'm the only one who can change gender this way. No other SS-rank would be able to do it, so don't worry.

 I don't know if it's safe or not.
 Hmm, I wonder what exactly the ability of this personification of SS rank is.
 Is it possible to change into the form of a person you like?
 Like Moshas.

I can't do that. Once you've created an image in your mind, you can't change anything but that image. Hence, this image of Rostam is my standard. Because this is what Rostam would look like if he were a woman.

 I see.
 So Mom and Lily are both stuck in that form?

Well, even if you can't change into other forms, it's at least possible to change your age based on that person. However, the only use for such a thing would be to adapt to a person's change.

 Wow, I see.
 You're gaining more knowledge in this world.

Well, at any rate, I'm not the star of this show. This is just for show, to see your reaction.

 I knew you were enjoying watching my reaction.
 A girl appears from the back of the room with such a commentary gone.

 You'll be able to see that the usual quiet atmosphere is transformed into a neat and clean flower by wearing a dress, and that person, Mina, is dressed up beautifully like some young lady, and the slightly embarrassed expression on her face makes you blush.

"You know this one. This is Miss Mina from your town. We have invited her as one of our guests of honor tonight. If you'd like, Kyou-dono would like to join the party with her.

 I was only half-hearing the emperor's words, and my eyes were still glued to the dress in front of me, as usual.
 I thought she was pretty for a long time, and I thought she was made of a really good material, but I didn't expect her to be this beautiful, so I thought it would be good to just stare at her for a while longer. As I was thinking, Dora-chan, who was on my shoulder, pinched me on the cheek.

There she is, what are you doing, Dora-chan?

"It's nothing,

 Dora-chan said that and sulked, but in fact, she had secretly made a dress for today's party.
 One of the demons is a silk spitting insect called Kaikoromochi, and Dora-chan was wearing a pure white dress made of the threads that the insect spits out.
 It was also quite cute, and when I first saw it, I couldn't help but praise it.
 By the way, Dora-chan looked very happy at that time.
 But before that, I have to say something to Mina in front of me.

Let's see, Mina. That dress looks great on you.

 I can see Mina's face turn red at my words, and I hear her muttering "Oh, thank you," with a happy smile on her face.

You will be able to find out the best way to make your life easier. I hope you will enjoy it.



 But if you're not sure if it's because of the fact that Rostam is escorting us in front of you, or if it's because of the fact that for a moment he was looking at us like he was expecting something interesting.
