We're back!　I bought a bunch of stuff!

A short time after Triton left, Aina and the other three returned.
I was supposed to have given them a bag of magic, but for some reason all three of them have food in both hands as well, but how much on earth did they buy.......

You're right, it's the Royal Capital. There's a lot of food that I've never seen before!
'I may have bought a little too much but, well, with eleven of us, there's probably this many.
And White is there too...　Where did White go?
Yeah, yeah. Did we pass each other?　I'm sure White went with me to the store...
Does that mean there will be more?　Can we eat it all up...?
No, I'll store it in my magic space if I have to.
Yeah?　Good, don't let it go to waste....

I don't know who White wanted to keep quiet about, and he said he wasn't going to answer Solte.
I don't know if it's right for me to talk about it, so I'll keep my mouth shut for now.

'Oh, it looks like it's about to start.

As Hayato turns to look at me, I follow him and look at the spectator's seat set up on the highest level between the general public seats and the nobleman's seat.
Then an old man, or rather a man dressed in a very noble-looking outfit and wearing a crown, stands up and walks to the front so that everyone can see him.

''Hayato, that was........''
"Yes, sir. The current King of Lacihu. Narvain Rasheayu Eisenbirke.

Oh.... that's the king.
Oh, no, that was rude of me.
I'm not so sure about that.

I'm sure you'll find this tool useful. I'm not going to have to raise my voice.
"Your Majesty, it's all I've heard, Your Majesty.

Oh.........that's my.......

"Mm. That's my home. Gentlemen. Sorry you've been waiting so long. The opening ceremony begins.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

The general public seats are crowded with people, and the aristocrats' seats are only audible with applause.
The nobleman's seat, on the other hand, was only filled with applause.
I almost shouted out as I was caught, but at that point I realized the air around me and fell out of step.


''I don't want to linger on with a formal greeting. I'm not going to prolong it with a formal greeting.　That's it!'

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, you're a nice, likable king.
I was in high school when I was in high school, and the principal was famous for one long story, because it was so long that a number of students would fall ill with anemia.
Once he said, 'I don't mind if you sleep standing up. If you can sleep standing up, we'll give you 100,000 yen.
Isn't it strange that a teacher came up to me, shook me on the shoulder and said, 'Get up!
The principal said you could sleep standing up.
It's not good.
Now is not the time to reminisce about the principal who was caught in a scandal, but to reminisce about the old days.

Now, let's get this thing underway.
　Gohon. Aww. Alright. Your Majesty has given me an order to be the deputy commander of the Priest-Knights!　I'll be acting as a commentator for three days from today, so I look forward to working with you.

Hey, Lieutenant you're the XO.
That's right. If you're going to give live commentary, you have to be the XO!

"Your Majesty asks that you bear with me during my commentary, as it is not uncommon for me to use profane language or speak out loud.
'Good, good. It's a festival. A little rudeness goes a long way.
"Ha!　Thank you.　Sooooo......... 　Players!　'The entrance of the!!!!!!'
"Oh?

As soon as I got permission from His Majesty, he went full throttle.
I thought he was going to be a professional wrestler with a rolled-up tongue.
See, even the king is surprised at the sudden change.

Hmm?　Hey, Hayato,
Yes. What is it?
''You know, I feel like that good-looking woman beside the king is looking at Hayato, is it my imagination?
'Uh..................... No, I don't think I'm imagining it........

Sitting beside the king are a stunningly beautiful girl and a young girl.
Well, first of all, there is no doubt that they are relatives of the king.
It's not likely to be a mistress.....

The girl is wearing a pure white dress with a tiara, and she looks transparent and kind.
The closest thing I can think of is the feeling of being a little girl to the Wendy I met when we first met.

And the little girl.
She is wearing a light pink dress with a tiara just like the girl.
The little girl is also beautiful, but she looks like she's laughing with her eyes a little more than the adorable feeling like a little girl.
I'm sure you'll find that she loves to play pranks and annoy her servants.

Hey, Hayato.
What is it?
''Well, I have the feeling that the King's nearby daughters are leading an escort towards us, is it my imagination?
No I don't think I'm imagining it.

Right.........
That girl, after she noticed Hayato, acted very quickly.
So.....

Hey, Hayato.
What is it?
"Is she your fiancée, even if she isn't?
Yeah well....
That means His Highness the Princess after all.... Well, you're beautiful and enviable!
Do you mean it?
'No, it's beautiful, but not at all. I don't want to have anything to do with royalty or anything...
'Too honest!　No, but he's a really good one...?

No, because I feel like I'm definitely going to get in trouble for sure.
Well, if they say there's a backstory to that, I might not believe everything in the world.
I'm not going to doubt Wendy and her friends, except of course I don't.

You can't get away with it, but you can't get away with it.
It's too late...
What do you want me to do?
'It's a private visit, so you can concentrate on watching the game ... maybe.
I'm still introducing the players but...

　'Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow!'
'Oh, hey. Don't you think you're going to cut your throat?
'Oh, thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I'm used to it.
"Mm-hmm.

Look, the vice captain is getting too excited and the king is worried about him.
You should just look at that and laugh like a hahaha!
Oh, it's no good, it's probably too close.
I can't turn it down!
I don't know anything about vassal courtesy or aristocratic etiquette!
Okay, Hayato told me I could concentrate on watching the game!
If you get mad at me for this, I'll blame Hayato for it!

"Hayato-sama!　If you're already here, why can't you come here?
Ah ha ha ha, Master Spurrier.
Don't call me ma'am. You can call me Sparrier, or whatever you want, okay?　Well, you know, we're married....

Ah, it's still Princess-dono, right........
That means the other little girl is His Highness the Princess (small).

''Well, we're not quite married yet...''
You don't like it, Hayato-sama...?
'No!　That's not what I'm talking about.... I'm also an adventurer, so I don't know when I will lose my life. And yet, to be called husband and wife at the fiancé stage.......
'You are as serious as ever, aren't you? I love that part of you, but please don't tell me you're going to lose your life, even if it's hypothetical...
Oh, please don't cry. Uh, what do I...

　'Boh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
"Ugh, my ears...


I mean, isn't it about time the King got angry...?
But maybe I can't get angry before I say I don't mind.
Tomorrow, the vice-captain will be in a different position, I'm sure, commenting on the situation.

Anyway, Hayato was very hesitant.
I didn't see it, though!
If he looked in that direction for even a second and their eyes met, he would have to greet them aristocratically.
Rather than making a blunder there, it's better to follow Hayato's instructions and show that he's engrossed in watching the game.
But reality is an impermanent thing....

A dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of me, who had been looking only at the front.
It's not that I was watching the players enter, but if a face suddenly appears in front of me, I can't help but be distracted by it.

When you set your eyes firmly on something you weren't looking at, your gaze naturally crosses.
Then all kinds of information came in through my eyes.
A pink dress.
A glittering tiara.
Slightly angled eyes.
Yeah. I can certainly understand what's going on here.

What are you looking at?
'Well...'

'Well, I'm sorry to say that's not the case. I'm just surprised it happened so suddenly...

By the way, that disease is incurable.
I like the big ones, because I don't!

Hmm....

.........?
I'm being watched all over as if I'm being stared at and priced out.......

''Are you a friend of Hayato's?''
Yes. I'm a friend.
I see. So you don't have to worry.

When I say that, His Highness the Princess pushes me by the shoulders and makes me put my back against the backrest, then turns around and gets on my knees.........and gets on my lap.

Oh, no!　What are you doing?!
Hmm. Hmm. Too far away to be boring from above. I suppose it's not too far from here.
No. I'll move out of the way...
Then it's hard to see with a straw hat on your back. Besides, with Sir Hayato at your side, you should be safe, right?　Besides, it's noisy in there.

　
''I don't know how you keep it up........ It's getting to be a habit........

King. I'm paralyzed.
Be careful, you can't go beyond that.

''Then you can get on Hayato's lap, or the guard's lap.......''
Hayato's knees may be occupied by his sister-in-law. The guards wear armor.　You want me to sit on a straw in a hard, uncomfortable chair?
Uh ... no. But I'm going to lose my head for profanity, aren't I?
Hmm?　There is no one who can restrict what Walla Walla does. It's my decision, so it doesn't matter.
'Yes....'
'Well, well, well. It is a great honour to be so close to a royal bracken, isn't it?　Take it easy.

This is an order from the royal family, which is very clear.
Even if you don't want to have any ties to the royal family, there's no way I, who am a man of longevity, would refuse them.
But I know that the current situation is not good.
I look at Hayato for help, but Hayato is a Hayato and seems desperate to deal with Sparrier-sama.

''See, even Iris is trying to see it here!　May I be allowed to do the same...?
No no no no the king will miss you, won't he?
Your father has your mother with him, so that's not a problem.
You're not here yet...
He'll be here soon. .........do you really not want to.......?
''Well it's hard for the guards to keep up...''


Oh, this is no good.
You can't help me, can you?
I get it.
Well, the rest of your people are....

Raise your heads. Today is a festival. You may enjoy yourselves.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

Oh, no.
They're all looking forward and not looking at me.
Only Wendy barely seems to care about me, but she can't seem to do anything about it if I do something badly and put myself in a bad position.......

"Here, your hands are loose. Hold me tighter.
'Yes......

I'm going to hold her tightly as she hugs her small waist as she is told.
Your Highness the Princess (small), or rather, Iris-sama, lays her hand on top of that hugging hand and leans fully on her body.
Really, your head won't suddenly fly off, right...?

Hm, it's very comfortable.
Is that so...?
'Mmm!　What do you think?　Are you going to be a straw chair now?
Please don't....
Mmm. What a luxury. Well, for once in your life, you may as well sit in a chair.
I've given up on that...
That's fine. Give me a heads up on my britches and I'll consider accommodating you.
'Yes......

If possible, I wouldn't want to be in such a situation, but....

''Entourii-nanbaa-afootiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!　

Oh, White's turn.
Come to think of it, Iris-sama is lighter than White.
I wonder if he's eating well?

Here, don't move. That tickles.
Excuse me.
Nishishi. That's how you'd feel if your brother were here?

Lady Iris pokes at my body, which I can never touch.
It's so ticklish that I writhe, but she likes it, or maybe she pokes me again and again.

"Ah, haha! Don't do it, hahahaha! Aww, stop it!
Mm. Disrespect. I'll go on and on.
No!　Hahahahaha!

If I was only careful not to handle them poorly, I didn't even notice that they were tattling before I knew it.
That's why he's still being pranked for a while, but it was impossible for him to calmly notice that anymore.

''Whoa whoa whoa!　Mask the White!　I appeared to be a flamboyant acrobat, but I squeaked at the last minute!!!!'

Hahaha, White!
Uhihi, haha. Are you okay!
Uh-huh, I'm sorry!　I didn't see it!
