One afternoon, I went out with Eliza to the city of Molech.

　Since I met her two years ago and she was appointed deputy emperor, she began to visit the dukedom of Carlisle occasionally.
　And when she does, I'm always there with her.

　The reason why it is not your father who entertains the emperor's outings...

I don't want to be too flattered to be a duke.

　I've heard that's the case.
　Today she's not dressed in an imperial uniform, but in the beautiful clothes of a girl of her age.
　So she's in full burglar mode, and she's letting me show you around.

　By the way.

Hey, Your Majesty, are you on a tour with the baron?
Yes. And not the baron, but the Vice-Emperor.
"That's right. I'm sorry, Vice-Emperor. Auntie, I've been watching you since you were a little girl.

　The market lady grabbed me and teased me .
　No, no, no, she's got a finger ring and a little space between them, but she's that size because she's in her mother's belly and hasn't been born yet.

　In this way, among the city's people, especially those who are called auntie, Eliza's status as an emperor is well known.

Oh yeah, we have a new product. Here it is.
"Is this--a shell?
"So, Your Majesty, you know?　These bivalves are the only pairs that fit perfectly together from the start, and you can't find them anywhere in the world.
"Oh, really, really, Alec?
Yeah, I guess so.

　I asked the Philosopher's Stone, which I carry with me just in case, and the answer is true.
　Because she knows that I am a knowledgeable person (with the philosopher's stone), Eliza often checks with me whenever she has something like this.

"And this shell--here, here, reinforcing this clinging root, so it won't break up. It's a good luck charm that you can be in love with the person you think you have it with and never leave them.
I'll never leave ......

　I recited my auntie's sales talk and somehow glanced at me, Eliza.

"Ho, I wonder if he's really going to leave me.

　Eliza blushed to the base of her ears and pulled the bivalve left and right.
　It seems to be made for good luck and sturdy, so it didn't budge when Eliza tugged on it.

Shouldn't I just stay with it?　Or do you have it on your person, and one day it breaks, and you get the feeling?

　Suddenly curious, I asked my auntie.
　There is also a pattern of spellcasting like I heard.

No, Vice-Emperor, two people in love, right?　Of course it's better to stay together.

　Auntie tapped me on the shoulder.
　That's what I'm talking about, Auntie.
　But the answer was clear.

Then--
"Wait a minute.

　Apparently Eliza was trying to buy, so I waited and waited.
　Eliza looked puzzled, so I put a spell on the shell she was holding.
　It's a simple spell, a spell that makes things stronger.

It should now be strong enough that it won't break even if the dragon steps on it.
"Oh, that's great, Vice-Emperor. It's great, Your Majesty.

　Auntie laughed vigorously and this time started to tap Eliza on the shoulder.
　Fearless auntie's actions, the previous emperor would have been beheaded for impoliteness.
　But Eliza was not angry.

Oh, thank you, Alec, I'll take good care of that ......

　Rather bashfully and happily held the shell I had strengthened so carefully.

　After buying the lucky bivalve, I walked around the city again.

Thanks auntie!

　Suddenly, even in the midst of the noisy marketplace, I heard a voice that was often heard.
　I looked at the voice and saw a girl between 12 to 3 years old, who was shopping for food.
　She was holding a paper bag that covered half of her face. I wonder if she has a large family.

　She's not the same as the old lady, but she's of the same race as the old lady.

This is a freebie, eat it to have more energy.

　Then he stuffed more food into a paper bag as a bonus. The girl's face is going to be hidden from view.

Thank you!　It's still a nice city, I guess, because it's Alec's city.

　Hm?
　What's my name on ......?

　The voice of a girl passing by seemed to be audible to Eliza, she stopped, glanced at me, and looked at the girl.

What?　You know Alec?
"Shh!　

　The girl who had been talking normally a moment ago suddenly turned red as if her face was about to burst into flames and denied it with her eyes wide open.

I've never met her, I just admire her!　I admired it so much that I moved here to at least be Alec's people!
Yeah. Oh, isn't that Mr. Alec out there, you know, speaking of which," he said.


"--What?

　I walked up to her, smiling as an acquaintance spotted me.

Did you hear that?　She says she's a fan of Master Alec.
Really?
"......

　The girl turned toward me with the awkward movement of a rusty golem.
　And then her eyes widened as if she was afraid her nape of her neck was going to split open, and then...

.

　And then he fell with his eyes white.

What's the matter with you?
"Alec?　What did you do?

　Eliza came side-by-side and gave me an accusing look.

"I wouldn't do that. I have a red face and I think it's sunstroke: ...... I'm going to try my recovery magic anyway.

　He held out his hand and created a pebble-sized white magic ball and gave it to the girl.

　The magic worked immediately, and the girl slowly sat up.

Are you okay?

　Auntie will ask.

Auntie ......, I think I had a good dream. I dreamed that I could see Alec's eyes.
"It's not a dream. I'll be right here.
"Eh, -----kyu

　I saw the girl's eyes again and she passed out again.

"Well, ...... what's going on?
"...... Alec, let us go away for a moment
"Haha. ......

　I don't know why, but I did what Eliza said anyway.

　After Eliza said something to the auntie, we both got away from it.

　The girl was woken up by her auntie, and she glanced at us as she listened to the conversation.

Do you hear what I'm saying?
"Well, ...... my real one was so glaring that it made me pass out. ......
Yeah, well, I thought it would be something like that.
Really?
That's what happens when you put someone you admire too much in front of you.
Haha ...... but I'm not sure if you're used to it. I guess I'm used to it.
"Do you want to go talk?
Let's do it.

　I said that to Eliza and tried to get back to the girl with her aunt.

.

　When I got close enough, she passed out again.
　That's the third time today.

Does this mean that .........
"Looks like it. Apparently, when you get close to five meters, you get knocked out. It's okay from a distance, but not when you get too close.
Yeah, I guess so.

　When I woke up, I decided to just walk away, because being knocked out for the fourth time was not good for the girl's body.

　At some distance, Eliza said to me, "I want to be your people.

I want to be your people, I'm such a fan that I would pass out if I met you in person. Why don't you give them something to remember you by?
That would be better.
It makes you happy when someone you love gives you something.

　For some reason, Eliza's words sounded caged with realization.
　But I see, it might be so.

　I thought for a moment and took out the parchment I always use for shopping and wrote a simple "Thank you, it's nice" and my signature.
　I showed it to Eliza.

"Is this okay?
It's okay.

　Nodding Eliza.
　As she did so, the girl woke up again.

"Are you all right?
"Uh-huh. ......

　I hear the girl and the auntie talking, but what should I do now?
　If I give it to her now, she might pass out again.
　What am I going to do with this paper?

Give it to me.
"Huh?
I'll go get it for you.
"Are you sure?　Then ...... please.
Hmm.

　Eliza took the parchment and walked toward the girl with the stalwart.
　Then he held out the parchment to her and said, "Here's a gift from him.

This is a gift from him.
"......
What's going on?

　Eliza stares silently at the girl and cocks her head.



The first thing that comes to mind is that there is no way that ...... could possibly be the emperor's - hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. --
No, it's a real Your Majesty.
"--whew!

　The girl let out a funny voice when the auntie said good-naturedly, "The real Your Majesty ?

"The real Your Majesty ......?

　The girl mumbled and looked at me.

"Did you use ...... as a delivery person?

　Then, after a moment of poking around.

"I'm a little too busy.

　And again, I was fainting again.
