106 # 106 Friendship party and fireworks.






'Oh! I don't know what it is, but it sounds like fun!

 As soon as he entered the playroom, the King of Belfast quickly made his way to the pinball table. Not to be outdone, His Majesty the Beast King Mismid headed to the bowling alley and lifted the bowling ball.

''That's heavy! What is this, a cannonball? It has three holes in it, but...

 The emperor and the emperor, who entered the room after them, scurried around and looked around the room curiously.

''So this is all just for playing.......what a luxury it seems.

 Behind His Majesty's murmuring, the Emperor's family and his bodyguards crept in from behind.
 Initially, I had only allowed family members to enter, but as expected, my subjects were concerned, so I allowed a few guards.
 From Belfast, His Majesty the King, Queen Euell, Duke Ortlinde, Duchess Ellen, and Sue.
 From the Regulus Empire, His Majesty the Emperor, Crown Prince Lux, and Crown Princess Sarah.
 From the Kingdom of Lefries, His Majesty the Emperor, Queen Zelda, Princess Liriel, and Crown Princess Lydis.
 From the Kingdom of Mismid, His Majesty the Beast King, Queen Tirie, First Prince Remza, Second Prince Alba, and First Princess Tia.
 That's a total of seventeen people. Each of these will be accompanied by several guards.
 From Belfast, there was Deputy Commander Neil or Rion-san, from Belfast, the one-eyed Imperial Knight Commander Gaspar-san from Regulus, and from Mismid, the guard captain Garun-san, although the guards from Liefries were all people I didn't know. There are about five of them in each country, so there are about twenty of them?
 Weapons are taken away, of course, and, between us, if you try to use attack magic, you'll be able to activate "paralysis".
 The guards also seem to have no words for the equipment they see for the first time. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends. It seems to be quite nervous. Well, it can't be helped. It's a good thing that the castle itself is guarded by Cerberus, Griffon and Pegasus in the garden.

"Welcome to our playroom. We have a variety of games here for you to enjoy. I'm sure my staff will be able to show you how to play with them.

 In addition to Else, Linse, Yae, Yumina, and Lou, our maid squad is all lined up. In addition to Lapis-san, Cecil-san, Rene, and Sheska, we have Sylvie-san and Belue-san from Tsukuyomi as helpers, as well as Rosetta, who usually wears work clothes, helping us out in her maid uniform. Naturally, our perfect butler, Lime-san, is in charge.

Also, we have food, drink and sweet treats for you to enjoy over there. Please feel free to use it.

 In the corner of the playroom, I've set up a large table and chairs, as well as a reclining seat and a massage chair. The table was set up with a variety of food and snacks.
 The kings scattered to the games they were interested in and received explanations from everyone. The ladies, including the queen and princess, seem to be more interested in sweets and are gathering in that direction.

''Ooh-rya!''

 His Majesty the Beast King was immediately throwing a bowling ball with great vigor. It was a gutter as hard as he could against his spirit, though. Prince Remza and Prince Alba are also guttering. Prince Remza is 9 years old and Prince Alba is about 6 years old. So those two are snow leopard beasties too?
 In air hockey, His Majesty the King of Belfast and the Duke of Ortlinde are having a heated sibling rivalry.
 At the Sparrow Table, it's a father-son showdown between His Majesty Emperor Regulus and Prince Lux, and His Majesty King Liefries and Prince Lydis.
 Prince Lydis is 12 years old, I think. He looks very grown up, but that rose-loving sister's younger brother looks like he's in trouble. And as usual, Prince Lux is a bit overshadowed.... I mean, this guy was married, I'm surprised.
 Mr. Lapidus is standing beside the sparrow table answering questions. The role has a table next to the sparrow table, so it's not a problem.
 The guards seemed to be enjoying watching the kings' game as well.
 At the dining table, the queens were tucking into their food. It seemed to be generally well received.
 Although it seemed that Sue, Princess Liriel and Princess Tia were playing Baba's Punch at the card table with the four of them, including Rene. Princess Tia is about the same age as Sue, so she must be about 10 years old.

''But it's an unbelievable sight...''

 Deputy Commander Neil, who was near me, murmured to me. The one who reacted to that was the Imperial Knight Commander, Gaspar-san.

It is true. It's not too long ago I thought it was impossible for the kings of the western countries to meet together. That's because they're playing together.''

 They both laugh and watch their sovereign enjoying a game of billiards.
 As both of them are kings, they do not dwell on it, whether they win or lose, and they play one game after another.

''Fuyu-dono, what was that?''

 His Majesty the Beast King pointed to a platform full of holes that was placed on the wall side of the room. Well, Mismid was completely aware that I could use the 'gate'. He said he thought it was suspicious, but in the end, it seems that Lean told him it was better than being suspicious all the time. Well, now that it's come to this, it's too late.
 Taking the small soft hammer that was set up on the platform, His Majesty the Beast King looked into the hole in the platform.

''We're going to compete for points by beating the mole that comes out of here. Oh, you don't need to hit it as hard as you can.''

 It's what's called whack-a-mole. When the game starts, the Beast King beats the mole with a tremendous reaction. As expected of a fighting race my dynamic vision is not half bad. But it's sweet!

WTF?

 The mole entered high-speed mode in the middle of the fight and came out at several times the speed. As a result, His Majesty the Beast King finished the fight with 92 points.

''d*mn it, one more time!

 The Beast King gets pissed off and slaps the mole out hard. I told you not to hit it as hard as you can. Just in case, the frame of the platform and the mole are sturdy enough that it won't break.
 When I turned my attention to the meal table, the queens were chatting while sipping on desserts and the like.
 I'll leave that one to Cecil and Lime, and I'll take care of this one.

''Your Majesty Brunhild, how do you play this?''

 Prince Remza of Mismid and Prince Alba asked about a large square cube placed in the corner of the room. Of the six sides, only one of them is transparent, but it is a trampoline. It is an object that can bounce on all six sides by magic.

It's a trampoline that can bounce around on all six sides. You can bounce around and play, up to two adults can do it.

 The snow leopard brothers walked in through the small entrance and began to clomp around happily. Eventually, they began to do backflips and twists in the air. The physical abilities of the beastmen are scary....

Oh, that looks like fun. It looks a little tough for me, but........

 The Emperor watches the children bouncing around as they laugh.

'There's a chair over there for you to relax in. It may hurt a little at first, but it will gradually feel better and you'll feel less tired.
"Huh?

 I let the Emperor guide me to the massage chair and activate it with magic. A roller built into the seat and a pump attached to a thrown-up leg begin a slow massage. Even His Majesty the Emperor, who was frowning a bit at first, closed his eyes after five minutes as if he felt good.

''Oh, phew.... This is good... this is good!''
You just have to press the elbow button and it will stop.
'Oh, yeah...'

 He said that to His Majesty the Emperor, who was almost debauched, whether he was listening or not, and left.

 Over there, Emperor Liefries and the Beast King Mismid are playing putt-putt golf. Beside them, Duke Ortlinde and Prince Lux were playing ping-pong, and further back, King Belfast and Gaspar-san were playing billiards. Hey, hey, my guards can't be allowed to play.

''Our king has invited them and His Majesty the Emperor has given his permission. 'That's nice, Gaspar. I want to play too.

 That said, it was Rion-san who came to the side. Maybe that's just work too. Entertainment billiards? He called out to Rion, who looked at him enviously.

'If you have an off-duty day or something, I'll invite you. Oh, if you get married to Olga-san, shall we celebrate at our house?
'Really? Hey, that's going to be fun! Everyone in the Order will be happy to see you!

 You're going to invite the Order as well? Well, they usually do. It's just like a wedding reception. I'm sure it's just like an after-party.
 After having a good time, the men began to turn their attention to the food. On the contrary, the queens, on the other hand, headed for the game. However, they avoided trampolining, bowling and other athletic games, but instead played cards, mahjong or pinball.



"Well, here is a small gift from Brunhild, including all of our guards.

 When the game had been played out and the hall had settled down, I called out to the invited guests. The maids started handing out cards to everyone in the hall, one by one. There were 25 numbers written on them at random. They spin the lot and tell them to fold the number that comes up. In other words, a game of bingo.
 He removes the cloth hanging in the corner of the room and exposes the prize to the guests. There are a variety of weapons, from swords, spears, and axes to ornate figurines, trinkets made of magical stones, toys, and even stuffed animals. And not just any weapon. They're not just weapons, they're one-offs that have been given special powers by enchantments. Well, they're just rare and not that powerful.

Then I'll pass it on. ........8! The first one is an 8. If the 8 is written on the card, please bend it there. The person who has five, vertically, horizontally or diagonally, will receive one prize.

 After all, there is a gift for all of us. It's just that the sooner the better.
 After a few turns, you'll get someone who's in a reach state or out.

'Two........two.......'
Fourteen, get out! Fourteen!
51 ... get out.

 He turns the bin-goma scene with pleading glances.

'Thirty-two! Thirty-two, sir!'
I got it!

 The one who raised his voice was Gaspar-san, the leader of the Imperial Knights. He checked the cards he received to make sure there was no problem, then led them to the front of the prize.

''Now, which one would you like to choose?''
Does it matter which one?
Yes. Just one thing, okay?

 After much deliberation, Gaspar chose a spear. It was a spear with red decorations.

''This spear is called a 'flaming spear,' a spear that shoots out a fireball from the tip when you say certain words.
Oh my...!
I'll tell you the words to the spell later. I don't want you to get shot here.

 He hands the spear to Gaspar-san with a light laugh. The Imperial Knight Commander happily returns to his original place with the spear. His Imperial Majesty looked on in admiration as he was handed the spear.
 However, that thing eats up magic power, so if you're a normal person, you'll be exhausted after shooting three rounds. However, depending on how you fight, it can be a trump card for a tome.

I'm going to continue!



 The bingo game went on smoothly and everyone was happy to get their prizes. The wives were pleased with their accessories and interior design. The plush toy was given to Princess Tia of Mismid. It is a stuffed animal that is programmed to respond to her whenever she speaks to it. It's a pity it's the voice of Peachy Roboko.

It's late at night. I would like to close the evening by showing you the last thing we have prepared as an entertainment.

 I took everyone and headed to the castle balcony. There was a moonless night sky. There is nothing else around here but this castle, so it's pitch black.
 Suddenly, a large flower bloomed in that night sky with a loud noise. For a moment, the guards braced themselves, but I held out my hand to stop them.

'Those are called fireworks. They're called fireworks, and they're said to be set off in summer in Yisheng.

 I checked with Yashen, and the fireworks were properly present in Yisheng. However, I've heard that they weren't as flashy as this, but more like rocket fireworks.
 One after another fireworks spread out in the night sky. Between us, we didn't actually launch them. Rosetta is dropping fireworks from Babylon, which disappeared by stealth. The fireworks are "programmed" to explode before they reach the ground. It's easier to do this than to launch them.
 The large flowers spread continuously from the balcony. Our maids handed out champagne to everyone who watched, and we drank it and watched the fireworks in the night sky again. Even the children were excitedly looking up at the fireworks.
 And so the goodwill party in Brunhild was a great success.
 At the end of the party, I told each country that I would give them one gift of the things they had played with today, and each of the four countries designated a massage chair. I knew kings were tired after all....
