'Wow!　It's been a long time since I've been in King's Landing!

'Wow!　Lady Filia!　If you throw your body out of the window like that, it will fall out the window!

　Phelia is excited to see the royal capital for the first time in a long time in the carriage. Mirmi struggles to keep that Feelia in check. On my lap, Ekla is quacking and missing, and next to me, Krona looks at Feelia and the others and giggles.

　It had been three months since the war with Regalia had ended. After I passed out, the Regalia army retreated. After that, the Nanor army and the other nations of Warbestos, Arcadia, Ciria, and Forestalia invaded, with the rest of the nations following in their wake.

　When they had taken control of a third of Regalia, the Emperor of Regalia demanded a truce. The allied armies responded and stopped the invasion, ending the war.

　Talk of reparations, etc., began immediately afterwards, and it would have been significant for Nanor to cede the third of Regalia that he controlled. I was surprised that Alexia was going to be the deputy there, though.

　I'd been out for nearly two weeks, so I heard all about it afterwards. The reason I passed out, of course, was because of the magic depletion. It hadn't happened recently, but as expected, the simultaneous activation of level 9 magic worked. I didn't move my body at all for the first few days.

　It was quite worrying for everyone else as well. It's a good thing that you're not the only one.

　And the reason I'm currently in King's Landing is because I was called by the king. When the post-war process was over, a messenger from the royal palace came to me and asked me to come to the capital. It seems that they are going to hold a victory ceremony in the capital.

　Well, it's not surprising. The war with Regalia, which was expected to happen, is now a great victory.

　The ones who came to the royal capital were Eris to Sieg as the representative of the frontier county territory. Also Phelia and Krona, who wanted to go, and Mirmi as Phelia's escort.

　Alexia and the others are in another carriage. Alexia, Aeris, Ferris and Caro are in that one. The master left with Hilde-san first. He said it's faster here. That's certainly true.

　Eileen-sensei and Gilbert have stayed behind at the estate. Marco and Merlin-san are there too, so they should be fine. Tigris is also going to remain in the frontier county territory until things settle down. I changed the ownership of the slaves to Dr. Eileen, so it should be fine.

　In the meantime, we arrived at the royal capital. It's already evening. I'll be able to go to the royal palace tomorrow. At that thought.

'Yes, Ray. Meet Ray's fiancée, who is still in the mansion today in King's Landing. I'd like to meet her to see what she's like.

　And suddenly Zeke says something like that. And Ellis, sitting across from me, would love that!　And he's on board. I'm fine with it but I hope Pricia is okay with it.　Just going to see Lady Eliza was enough to make her face pale, but when it comes to her own parents....

　The carriage stops when we pass through the gates of the royal capital. Does that mean I should get off here? I'll get off the carriage.

I'm coming with you!

　And Krona came down. Zeke and the others nodded as they looked at the carriage. Then

'I'm going to your brother's house too!

　He came down to Filia. Filia came down, which means, of course, Mirmi as well. When I look at the carriage again, Zeke and the others are nodding their heads with a bitter smile. I'm smiling bitterly at that too. Well, it doesn't matter.

It's a good idea to have a good time. We'll head out later.

Yeah, he's waiting for you.

I'm looking forward to it.

　Saying that, Zeke and his friends drive the carriage. Shall I go to Alexia and her friends? As I head towards Alexia and her friends, they ask me what's wrong.

　We go home and tell them that we're going to pick up Helen and the others and then head to the house. Everyone agrees with me, so we get into the carriage that Alexia and the others are riding in.

''I'm looking forward to going to your brother's house for the first time!

'Yes!　I wonder what kind of place it is!

　Filia and Krona excitedly say something like that, but it's not that big of a deal, is it?　It's just a little bigger than a normal house....

　However, I had no idea that such a thing would happen at that time.

　It took about 20 minutes for the carriage to swing by. Finally, my house came into view. There was a black ball of fur running around in the yard outside. Is that Clondine? As the carriage moves forward, I see Mei playing with him. It seems that Roy is also at her side.

　The two of them are playing with Clondine when they notice the carriage stop in front of the house and come up to me with Clondine in their arms. And as I get off, Mei comes running, her face beaming.

'Big brother!'

　And then he hugs me. I let go of Clondine in my arms. Crondine lands cleanly, but she looks at me and comes threateningly with a lulu. ...I'm sorry about that.

"Ray-kun!

Mr. Ray!

　Helen and the others are coming from the house. Apparently Roy called for them, and they come running too, but sooner than that.

Onii!

　Haku comes in for a similar hug with Mei, and they both grill their heads against her chest. Behind me, Helen and the others are watching them and smiling warmly.

　I was just about to pat their heads and say I'm home when

My brother!

　I hear a voice calling me from behind. It was a voice with a little bit of anger in it, so I turn around and see Phelia puffing out her cheeks and coming closer to me. What, what's going on?

My brother!　What do you mean by these two calling your brother a brother!　Only me and Chrysia are allowed to call your brother brother brother!

　And Phelia was angry.
