The comfort to Ron and the others ended sooner than I expected, so I headed to Rezad.
　The name of the visit was to inspect the state of Rezad's rule....
　In reality, it was to soak in the hot springs excavated near Rezad, essentially an escape from Yulia and the others.

　Raimondo has asked me to take another week off.

　I don't want to go back for a while either, so I'm going to take it easy in Rezad.

　"Well, well my dear king. Welcome to Rezad.

　The people who greeted me were former members of Congress from Rezad.
　They all put on a good face.
　At least for now, they don't seem to be experiencing any problems.

　'Yeah. By the way, I have one question for you.......what about Alexios?

　Melia is nowhere to be found either.
　In those two's position, it would be normal for them to greet me.

　Oh, those two gentlemen are on a pirate slaying mission. I expect them to arrive this afternoon.

　All right, well, we'll wait until the afternoon.

　Let me ask you something. Is the product ready?

　I ask about the clothes I ordered a while ago.
　The senators nodded with a bitter smile.

　''Yes, yes ... you mean those curious ... no, unusual clothes?　It's finished.

　Okay, good.






　Yeah, it looks good on you.
　Really?　Well I think my clothes are too short....
　What are you talking about? You're going to be moving around. It needs to be short.

　Alice writhes in embarrassment.
　Alice was my bodyguard, participating in my escapades.

　Alice is so good that if there is one Alice, most of the guards will not be needed.

　
　But it's not just a maid's outfit.
　It's a ninja-style maid outfit.

　Alice is an assassin. An assassin is a ninja.
　Therefore it is a maid ninja.

　In short, it is my hobby.

　By the way, when I said what kind of outfit is a maid-ninja, I only took the element of Japanese clothes into the maid costume.
　By the way, the color is purple.
　It is not shell purple. It is a dye made of purple cabbage.

　'Then why couldn't you just wear pants?
　'Trousers are considered in Adelunia to be the clothing of the barbarians. Not exactly appropriate for the king's guards to wear.
　'But it's so short...'

　Alice holds the maid's skirt and fumbles with it.
　It's really great. There's a goofiness to it.
　Most. It's short, about knee length, so you can't see the inside. Personally, I like it to be about ten centimeters above the knee, but if I designed it, Alice would never wear it, so I compromised on knee-length.

　By the way, the concept of a 'skirt' does not exist on the Adelunian Peninsula.
　In the Adelunian peninsula, top and bottom clothing called togas are the norm.

　In Adelunia, the concept of a skirt does not exist.

　The Adelnian culture is mostly imported from Cilicia, so the Cilician people also wore the same kind of top-and-bottom clothing. From what I've heard, both Pofenia and Cilicia are the same.

　However, it does not mean that trousers do not exist.
　Short pants do exist. Soldiers wear them underneath their armor, but they are not worn on a daily basis.

　The only cultures that wear long pants are Germanis and Gaul.
　Both Gaul and Germanis are culturally and technologically far inferior to the Adelunian peninsula, so long trousers are thought to be the preserve of barbarians and illiterates.

　Well, as far as I'm concerned, trousers are easier to wear and superior as clothing.
　I have no intention of forcing people to spread the word.
　Even togas are comfortable once you get used to them.

　''Your Majesty do I have to wear this?
　At least you get to wear it for the rest of the day.

　I want to see how the skirt will be reacted to by the Cilician people.
　If it's highly rated, I'll have Yulia and Tetra wear the skirt as well.　

　'No, but it really does look good on you, doesn't it?
　Oh, really?　Ka, cute...?

　Alice asks, blushing.

　'Yeah, she's pretty. The red-purple fabric complements Alice's beautiful golden hair.'
　'Oh, well... beautiful... beautiful... beautiful...'

　Alice starts playing with her own hair.
　There aren't many women with golden hair on the Adelunian peninsula or in Cilicia, so I'm sure she's quite proud of herself inwardly when it comes to her own hair.

　It's been five years since I've been married to Julia and Tetra.
　You've become a good talker, too. I...


　"Your Majesty!　Lord Alexios is here to see you!
　Okay, I'm coming.







　Thanks for taking down the pirates.
　Thank you very much. Well, pirates aren't the enemy, as far as I'm concerned.

　Alexios puffed out his chest confidently.

　'How long were you a pirate?'
　Ten ships, about 300 men. There are ten ships and about three hundred people on board. Well, a pirate of this size appears once or twice a month. That's how big the trade in the Teutonic Sea is.

　Three hundred people on ten ships.......that's thirty people per ship.
　I can't really imagine what it would be like.
　How does a naval battle work in the first place?

　I've heard of the impulse charge sinking the enemy's ships.

　'How many people are on board a triple-oared or fifth-oared ship?
　'There are about 200 rowers on the third level and about 300 on the fifth level. Most of them are rowers.

　That's a lot of people to ride.
　I thought there were at most fifty of them.

　"Is the battle based on impulse charge?
　You're well aware of that. 'Yes, I do. But there have been cases where the impulse angle has been buried by the enemy's ship and the ship has been stuck again. It takes a high level of skill to perform an impulse angle assault. That's why we sometimes attack with bows and arrows or a large Noh bomb, or fight on a boat with a ladder.

　Hmmm....
　If our country is going to organize a navy, we might as well focus on fighting on ships rather than impulse assault.

　'Hey, Alexios. What do you think we should do if we were to engage in full-scale hostilities with Pophenia?
　Does Your Majesty intend to take Trisichellia?　
　No, I'll take it if you give it to me but I'm just assuming, assuming.

　For some reason, Alexios leans back and I control it with both hands.
　Alexios seems to want to fight Pophenia, but I want to avoid fighting Pophenia as much as possible.
　Because the other side is a maritime power that controls the Teutonic Sea.

　There's no way we can win a proper fight.
　Nevertheless, we need to at least think of a countermeasure.

　''Well I don't think we'll lose in a land battle at first. King Rosais' country has a conscription system, while Pofenia has a mercenary system. There is a difference in the number of troops that can be mobilized. On land, numbers are the first thing that counts. But in a naval battle, it's going to be a tough battle.

　After all, in Alexios' view, Pophenia is far superior in naval battles.
　No, even a young child could understand that.

　''It's just........I think we have a chance to win if we take advantage of Rosais' advantage, right?
　Such as?

　I asked, and Alexios stuck out three fingers.

　'One is a sorcerer. In Pophenia and Cilicia, they don't have sorcerers on their warships because of the superstition that if you put a woman on a ship, the ship will get jealous. But Rosais has no such preoccupation.

　I've heard somewhere that the synonym for ship is 'She'.
　Even in this world ships seem to be female.

　But you don't use a sorcerer I think it's useful.　
　I think a sorcerer's eye is essential for searching for enemies and exploring the wide open seas.

　'The second is the secret potion of fire. Ships are made of wood. I think that would be very effective.
　I have a flamethrower that Tetra made a long time ago, do you think it will work?
　I'm gonna need to see it in person, but let me know when you do.

　It would be difficult to hit them with a large crossbow, but it might be possible to use a flamethrower to burn a ship that's making an impulse assault with an impulse angle assault.
　It would be a good check on them.

　'The third is a land battle.

　On the ship.
　Speaking of which....

　Hey, Alexios. Can you put a machine like this on your ship?
　Hmmm ... this is ...

　I drew a simple schematic on a piece of paper and showed it to Alexios.
　Alexios snorted.

　'This would certainly make fighting on the ship far easier. ........However, it's possible that the ship will not be stable.......For now, I'll let the engineers make it and exercise it. I'll let you know if we find it effective.
　Well, thank you.

　Well the best thing to do is not to get into a fight with Pofenia.




　'Huh ... don't rest ...'

　Finally, at night, I was able to soak in the hot springs.
　I lick a little bit of the hot spring water.

　What a shorty.

　I wonder if it's because the ocean is nearby.
　I look at the sky.

　The moon is so beautiful tonight.
　The moon in this world is several times larger than in the previous world.

　Unlike Japan's urban areas, where there is almost no artificial light and the air is crystal clear, the stars are beautiful.
　The sky is like a planetarium, full of stars.

　Well, the sky is completely different from that of my previous life.
　The Milky Way?　And the shape of the

　Maybe this is a different galaxy, or maybe it's not even the same universe at all.
　No, it's doubtful that they are the same universe to begin with.

　"The moon is beautiful....
　'Well...'

　Hmm!

　I lowered my gaze from the sky to the ground.

　There stood a woman with golden hair so beautiful that it looked like a full moon, or even the moon was hazy.
　Her skin was completely different from that of the Adelnians, pure white.
　A fruit so large that she hides it with her hands, but cannot hide it.
　Her waist was beautifully cinched and her hips were beautifully curvy.
　Her limbs are long and beautiful...

　A woman like that ... Alice was standing there.

　'Oh, hey!　Alice!　Why are you here!
　His Majesty's bodyguard.
　'I see, I'm sure ... no, it's crazy!

　That theory doesn't hold up.

　As I was puzzled, Alice approached me with an upturned face.

　''Your Majesty........su......I like.......''

　Alice was shyly confessing to me, her voice rubbing upwards.
　Maybe it's because she's soaking in the hot springs, maybe it's because she's embarrassed to be naked, maybe it's because she's nervous about confessing...
　His face is bright red.

　''Well you knew that, didn't you?''
　Well well I had a hint that you had feelings for me.......................

　When I'm stagnant, I hug Alice.
　Alice's breasts press against my chest plate and change shape.

　...They're big. It's even bigger than Julia.
　And soft.
　I had assumed from Alice's high physical abilities that she had a muscular body, but she's feminine enough.

　'You don't like me?'
　No, no, I don't hate you, but...
　So, please hold her.

　Alice said and touched a part of my body.
　Alice's white fingers wrapped around it.

　'You haven't held a woman since you were pregnant, have you?　There must be limits to what you can do yourself.

　It's true that unlike Japan, this world doesn't have many of these so-called things.
　It's true that there were several times when it ended in indigestion because of that.

　''Your Majesty........''

　Alice shyly buries her face in my chest plate.

　I see Alice's large ... even larger than Julia's ... breasts in my eyes.
　Is it sweat or hot water.......reflected in the moonlight.

　Raw spit naturally passed down my throat.
　My hand found itself circling Alice's back.

　It was warm, smooth, and soft back there.
　As I lowered my right hand, I reached a gently curved spot.

　''Alice........''

　I called out to her, and Alice looked up at me with moist eyes.
　Plump, pink, shapely lips were in my eyes.

　I sucked on those lips.
　I put my bottom inside and scratched my way around inside Alice.

　That kiss......
　It tasted very immoral.







　There's a word for it: wise man mode.
　After a s*xual act or masturbation, I suddenly thought, "Huh?　What am I doing? It's called the feeling of enlightenment.
　One theory is that when humans were apes a long time ago, it was a function of switching our brains to be alert to our surroundings after a s*xual act.

　Honestly, modern humans don't need it.
　I want it gone.
　If we don't have this....

　What am I doing...

　Because I wouldn't have felt this guilty about it.


　It certainly doesn't work out with my wife.
　The cause of the problem is a third party fault on my wife's part........

　But that doesn't mean I can't throw my pregnant wife out and go on a flirtatious trip to a spa with another woman?
　No, of course you shouldn't.
　I can't complain about being served with divorce papers.

　You have two wives, for Christ's sake!

　What the hell am I doing!

　Oh, well, you can't blame me for doing it.
　'Alice!　This is an absolute secret!　
　'Yes, I know. It's a private (...) secret between us, isn't it?

　Why do you look so happy to see me...
　Well, you've become one with the people you care about. I'm sure you're happy.

　No, it's not that I don't like Alice either.
　But compared to Yulia and Tetra, the one who spent more time with her is the one who gets the credit for the time they spent together.

　I consider myself to be a faithful husband.
　That's why I pretended that Alice's fondness for me was half-heartedly unnoticed.

　Love is like a cold.
　In Alice's case, it's a debt of gratitude and the fact that she was saved by me. It's also likely that it's just a combination of the suspension bridge effect created by the tension of sharing a battlefield.

　So I wasn't going to respond to the love I got from her... but I didn't...

　'Apparently I'm even worse than I thought I was...'

　Oh.....
　I can't let Julia and Tetra see me...

　'It's good. If you say that, it's no good when you have two wives. Two will only make three.
　I'm just saying, I can't take you for a wife, can I?
　You don't have to tell me. I know what I'm talking about.

　Well.....
　So we'll see about that.

　I'm sure that in the future the two of you will become pregnant at the same time, and it will be difficult for you to take your wife around the battlefield. When you are going on an inspection tour to some distant place, you may not be able to take your wife with you. But I can be by your side at all times. So......whenever you want?

　.........
　.........

　Can you do it again tomorrow?
　With pleasure!





　After three days in Rezad
　Life in Lesado, which had already become a hot spring flirtation trip rather than an inspection tour, came to an unexpected end at an unexpected time.

　'He, he, geho, geho.
　Relax. Drink some water.

　I handed the messenger, who I assumed had come from Raimondo, some water.
　I gave him a drink of water to calm his breathing.

　'So, what can I do for you?'
　"Mr. Raimondo wants you to come back at once and I'm sorry, but I don't know why.

　Hmmm....
　What can't you tell Hayama?

　At first I thought that Julia's or Tetra's condition had suddenly changed, but apparently not.
　In the case of Julia and Tetra's condition, I should have just let the messenger have a sealed letter.

　But Raimondo just told me to hurry up and come home, but he didn't even let me have the letter.
　I mean, if something were to happen and they saw what was inside, it would be a big deal.

　All right, all right. I will return to the palace immediately. Get the horses ready!

　I don't think there's going to be time for a leisurely carriage ride home.
