I heard the clink of tea utensils, and I wondered if this tea party was coming to an end.
The two men who had eaten the strong berry chopped ice cream were taking a breather with the tea I had brewed, and they were chatting peacefully.

'Huh. I'm satisfied.
What do you think?　I guess the strawberry wins this time, right?
You're right. This time I must admit that I have failed.

Iris, who smiles happily when she hears that it's a complete defeat from Sicily's mouth, gives me a thumbs up and thumbs down to work on it.
As for me, I'm relieved to see that they're both satisfied with it.
Now I just need to drink my tea in peace and let myself go quickly....

But you have a good arm.
''I'm a level 9, but other than that, I'm an ordinary alchemist with nothing of note.
'What a level 9 at such a young age.......I wonder if being a drifter has an effect on you?
'I was given it as a normal skill, and maybe it is.
Hmm, Seren.
Yes!

I flicked my fingers with a snap, and Seren-san went behind me.
As I was wondering what was going on, Seren-san came forward from under my armpits and her arms started to touch my body.

''Wait, what!''

Sorte rushes in, but Iris controls it.

'Excuse me ... just hold still for a moment, please.
No, what?　Oh no, oh no, there ... that tickles me!

He touches me from my thighs to my sides, and even my arms and chest as if he were touching me.
While I'm surprised to see what's going on, I'm quickly slipping away.

'Are you not very good at the combat aspect?'
'What?　Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Seren asked me about it, but I couldn't help but lose my respect for him as he spoke to me while I wasn't even breathing well yet.
However, Sicilia doesn't show any pretense of being particularly bothered.

''Hmm. Which means........you seem to be better in other ways.''

Well, what did you want to know?

Mm. Iris. Thank you for the gift.
What are you talking about?
You've been sending people to the Empire, haven't you?
If it's about this one, I won't give it to you.　The only thing you take home with you is your memories.
What. Isn't that a gift from a friend to me?
Isn't it obvious?　The sweetness that this snack makes is still evolving. How could I let it go before I could taste it?

Oh, what?
Strange?
What was supposed to be a peaceful atmosphere a moment ago has suddenly become tense.

Well, let's ask him. Our Empire is in need of talented men. You're well qualified for the job and you'll be ready to rise to the occasion if you're under my protection.
'That's a shame!　He's not interested in those things. Those conditions are counterproductive for him.
Iris didn't tell me. What do you think?

We have the eyes of royalty and royalty all to ourselves.
What is this strange air........ Both of them are smiling at each other, but their eyes aren't smiling.
Nah, they're good friends!　I thought you two were close!

''Oh, uh ... like Iris said, I'm not really interested in competition or anything.... As long as I can live in peace with everyone else, I'm happy with that.
''Well that means it doesn't matter if you live in the Empire as long as you live in peace, right?
'What?　Well, well I'm not obsessed with places, and I'd like to see a lot of different countries, but I have a home in Ains Hale, and it's not something I can make a quick decision on...
I agree. The house has been recently enlarged and it's not like we can just move in.

Ah......
Could it be that Iris was building an addition to my house from here!
I thought the apology was over the top!

Ho.....
'But the Empire is fun too, right?　The imperial lager is great, and I think Chochoa can be utilized for this ice cream as well.
A rugger...

That's right. The Empire had a lager!
There were many times when I thought that the drinks in this country were so sweet that beer would definitely fit the bill...................




Crepes.........gâteau chocolat.......chocolate parfait and of course chocolate ice cream......chocolate chips would be nice.

'What, you like lager?　That's a matter of taste, but the lager from my favorite place in the Empire is good. The crisp and full-bodied lager is so much better than other lagers. Moreover, the knick-knacks are also to my satisfaction.
Oh....

A restaurant that Sicilian, who seems to have a penchant for taste, is pushing it that far....
That's information I'd really like to know, even if I had to put aside my move to the Empire.

''Hmm. Nice work, Seren. You're swinging.
Yes. We would love to have you open a restaurant in Teikoku. If the people in the back could also waitress, it would definitely sell!

A shop...........................
If it's a candy shop, there are definitely a lot of female customers........
I don't mind making them, and they'd be fun to look at.



But in the service industry, long vacations are hard to come by, and my goal is to not work.
.........Sounds like fun, I guess, but it wouldn't be nice to be distracted from our goal.

'I'm sorry, but I'm still new to this world and there are many cities and countries I'd like to see. Of course, I had thought that the Empire would eventually be a tourist.......but..... I still can't decide right away.
'Hmm. Well.....
'Hahahaha!　This little fellow belongs to the straw!

When Iris smiled smugly at Sicilian, I thought Sicilian's eyes flashed for a moment like a hunter hunting a beast.
But when she stood up and took my hand, she looked at me with an evil look on her face, as if she had been playing a trick on me.
What in the world are you going to do........

".........well.......what if you could do with my breasts, for example?
Eh........what?
It's all right if I do this, okay?

He takes my hand and presses it firmly against mine.
That's right. So firmly that I can't help but feel the flesh overflowing from between my spread fingers.
Quicksilver!　I tried to move away from it, but it was more powerful than I thought it would be, and I couldn't move away.


''Sicilia-sama!　What the hell are you doing?
Sicily!　That wouldn't be fair!
Really?　You just used the cards you have.　Here, how about this one?
Mmmm?

Hey, now the face!
I'm grateful that I was able to bury my face in the valley and experience its softness with my whole face, but I can't breathe!　But happy!　No, it's painful!

An..... You knocked me on my ass! Disrespectful person..... What, you like asses too?

I tried to tap with my free hand and accidentally smacked my ass!
No, I like it!
Now is not the time!
Running out of oxygen!　You'll run out of oxygen!
I'd love to die buried in my tits or something, but it's too rapid!

Oh, um ... my master is dead...
Breathe!　We need to make him breathe!
Yeah, I see. I'm sorry.
'Phaaaaah!

Oh, breathing is wonderful.
It's wonderful to have air in your lungs.
While catching my breath, I look at Sicilia with gratitude and resentment.
Nyro I thought I was going to die. But thank you so much!

"No, no, no..... You're appealing for your big tits just for the sake of it........ Ayame!
No.
I haven't told you anything!
No.
You don't listen to me!
'I suppose they want me to color me anyway. Unfortunately, in my hometown I was told I'm a total disaster on the Soch side. So no.
Hm?　You don't like it because you were told no?　Not to be bamboozled?
I don't like it either way!

Iris and Ayame are taking the conversation in an oblique direction.
I mean, I'm having trouble dealing with it and I need help....

''So, what do you think?''
Okay.....
Nuh-uh?

This won't be settled if I don't say it outright.
I've learned very well that if I just play along, they'll take advantage of the gap and attack me.......

''I will firmly decline to do so.
M.....
'I'm sorry, but I have people I love. More than anyone else, I can't let go of the life I have now when I think of those girls first.

Not long ago, I was able to think of Aina and her friends.
If the environment changes before they get settled in, I can't take it easy and spend time with Aina and the others.
Besides, I have many acquaintances in the kingdom.
They'd be stunned if they went to the empire because of the tits, even though they got along so well with each other.

I see......... I get it. It's a shame........
'I'm sorry...'
'That's fine. I'm glad to see Iris's funny face, and if she ever comes to the Empire, I'll welcome her to my favorite restaurant. Let's have a toast at my favorite restaurant.
'Yes, sir. I'll look forward to that.

Well, as I saw that expression on his face, I was aware that this was just a prank.
The reason for this is because I didn't think it would be too much trouble later on if I got in on the prank.
....

The tea party ended successfully after this.
As for me, I'm taking a break for the midnight auction.
On the way back, I was sandwiched between Aina and Wendy in the carriage and had my arm firmly taken.......could it have been a yakuza?
Unfortunately, I was sleeping from exhaustion, so I didn't get to enjoy it much....
