Uwa… what"s with this person……?
Isn"t it truly unsightly? To have the nerve to look upon this Alim with such sleezebag eyes…
The Hand-san is also glaring at him with murderous intent. At any moment it seems like he could lash out.
Scary,
And then, without minding the atmosphere, he gets closer to me.

「Bufofofo… truly cute.. Alim-chan~… slurp」

Hiiiii!? This ⓑⓐⓢⓣⓐⓡⓓ, just now this ⓑⓐⓢⓣⓐⓡⓓ, right next to my ear, right next to my ear he slicked licked his lips.
Uwaa… he slipped around to my back… terrible.

I am… terrified of this ugly man. My strength seems to have left me. This, probably, is a woman"s fear. Maybe I should say that the girl Alim is scared, not me?

Still, this ugly man"s madness isn"t stopping.

I wonder, this guy…

He snuck behind me, embraced me… then messaged my small chest.
Chills run down my whole body. Fear follows. Tears are about to come out.
Was this man so scary?

It took all my power to cry out. My hands were shaking.

「Kyaa!!! Hate, hate it! Stop! 」

But, Faust, did not stop, no, he moved his hands quickly and said.

「Uu~n, Alim-chan, your b.r.e.a.s.t.s are a suitable size for your age… bufofo! But they are soft and comfortable~. There is nothing about it to dislike. How about a kiss? 」

…Stop stop stop it.

The ⓑⓐⓢⓣⓐⓡⓓ rubbed my chest with one hand and used the other to forcibly turn my head toward him.
In front of me right now, I feel sick seeing his mouth coming towards me.
I have no strength in my body. It was so frightening, so scary.
My voice will no longer come out.

Suddenly, The Hand-san sent him flying with a tackle. It is unmistakable, he used『Super Iron Spirit』.
The Hand"s whole body is the color of iron.

「You pig… What do you think you"re doing to Alim. You call yourself a man? Just what are you boldly doing in front of ordinary people? Moreover, right in the middle of the castle. What the h.e.l.l are you thinking! 」

But, the ugly guy responded in a breezy manner. The contents were something that made me also want to beat him up.

「Haa.. What is this small fry rank that just went up from B-rank saying…? Good grief, can"t a bald small fry just be silent… well, it"s all good. Maybe I should tell the tile print company about this after the banquet. I mean, 『The Hand・Asch suddenly savagely attacked』」

The Hand-san worries about me without minding such non-sense. I am trembling all over. Uwah, it was so scary. Especially those eyes that looks like they were licking me…

「Oh, Alim, Don"t be scared. Don"t be scared.」
「Y….ye….s….」

While I was being comforted, a question comes to my mind.
Speaking of which, something similar to this happened the first time I came to the royal capital…

… Yea, that time it was two guys. But that time I was not particularly scared, rather, didn"t I just feel annoyed and feel like beating them down?

Then, why am I so scared of this ugly guy?
In the first place, here is The Hand-san, a man with a scary face, but I don"t feel the slightest bit scared of him.
Furthermore, although I find it so scary, The Hand-san is only showing anger towards him and doesn"t seem to feel fear at all.
And then… I thought that maybe he has a skill or a t.i.tle that is something like 『Female Fear Amplification』.

There are also other cases where such a thing explains a lot. In the tournament he molested a female adventurer that fought against him.
However, they were the same rank. In other words, it cannot be resisted.

I wonder if that is the case. In that case, I could just turn back into a man now.

I activated 『s.e.x Change』.
Now then, how is it? The fear that consumed me is gone. Bingo.

That guy seemed to have the intention to do something more. He grabbed my hand and started pulling.

「ⓑⓐⓢⓣⓐⓡⓓ… Get away from Alim!」
「No, No, I love you too….gofu~」

Haha~, how"s that? I gave the ugly man a kick to the side with all my strength.
He shouts out something.

「Ogo… ouch… Alim-chan? I wonder if it"s alright for you to do something like that. I"m a pretty influential person. I could get a tile print company to say 『Alim・Nariwei is a violent person』…」

Hearing that The Hand-san said in response.

「ⓑⓐⓢⓣⓐⓡⓓ, you"ve been going on about tile print companies since the beginning, but what tile print company would deal with the likes of you in the first place?」

The ugly man doesn"t learn and replies back with ugly words.

「Shut up small fry baldy. I"ll just threaten Nannamon tile print company.」

This guy, why hasn"t he been arrested? Since before he has caused too many problems. No matter how much crime he did. Doing such crimes right in the middle of the castle, does he think he wouldn"t get caught?
He"s done well to live like this until now.
That guy goes on to add.

「… oh, yea~. I recall, there was a woman member of your party. Would you introduce me to that girl…? 」
「…!? Stop bull-ⓢⓗⓘⓣⓣⓘⓝⓖ me, don"t even go there, it"s just not right~!!」
「…Nn? Wasn"t she a former slave? I"ll buy her.」

Along with his angry expression, a look of astonishment began to form on The Hand-san"s face.
Ahhah, so he has finally revealed the source of his crimes.

「… Why are you doing such things…! We are a slavery abolishment group, and to think there was a slave trader we were not aware of… *******…」
「About that… che… (alright, I quit)」
「Aa? What was that? Just now, what was that!?」
「Nothing, was just speaking to myself. Anyway, I am going to leave.」

re? I wonder what happened. Why was he suddenly saying that he will leave?
Nevertheless, the royals are pretty sharp.

While thinking about that and gloating in my mind, the door suddenly opened.
There were two men there.

「Finally, a confession from Faust!」

Was said so by a knight who looked to be in his forties.

「No way, I"m surprised… that there was a slave merchant that we missed.」

Was said by the other man, he was a handsome man with a golden cup in one hand.

The ugly guy seems to be in a clear state of confusion.

「W… what are the head of the knights and the SS-ranker Bacchus doing here?」
「About that, Faust, it is to catch you.」

After saying that, the head of the knights took out restraints and approached Faust.
But, he was laughing.

「Bufofofo… I can"t get caught here. See ya suckers! 」

As soon as he said that, the ugly man disappeared like smoke.

The guy who had left in smoke talked to a strange person in a cave.

「Hyaa… that was dangerous.」(Faust)

「It was dangerous, well, was that it? Don"t tell me you then started talking about us…」(strange person)

「It"s all good, it turned out alright.」(Faust)

「Turned out alright? Ha? In what way? You, don"t take such risks in the first place」 (strange person)

「S… shut up, that Alim was better than a princes, ya know?」(Faust)

「You, you"re bad because you don"t care about the details and act upon your feeling without thinking.」(Strange Person)

「hehehe… but, If you give me more, more power, I can give you a breakthrough. It"s only two young girls. It"s thanks to you guys that I was able to become an S-ranker. Bufo」 (Faust)
「Haa… and you"re called a human… Well, there is still a chance. You"re satisfactory, you are useful. Incidentally, have you prepared? 」 (strange person)

「Ah, of course. You just need to remain transparent and stay in the castle, right? 」 (Strange person)

「Do you understand. If I use this power on something like that, it would be trivial. And also… if I can bring them here, then may I be allowed to do as I like? 」(Faust)

「The princess is fine, but not with Alim. Because Alim will be the key in order to achieve our goal 」 (Strange person)

「Sure. But I can"t go out. I never thought my past as a slave trader would have been exposed by wanting to rub that brat"s b.r.e.a.s.t.s.」 (Faust)

「Well, that"s true, but soon it won"t be relevant anymore. We are moving forward with our plan.」 (strange person)

「Oh yea, that"s right. I won"t need to be concerned about the knight leader or that alcohol reeking *******. I will have the strength.」 (Faust)

「That"s correct. It"s selling our souls to the demons. As expected of this (sc.u.mmy) guy.」 (strange person)

「Fu-n, I"ll be in your care, Mephisto Fares-san…」(Faust)

「Fuhihihihihihihihihi」(strange person, Mephisto Fares)
「Bofofofofofofofo」(Faust)

「ⓕⓤⓒⓚ… never expected him to possess an escape technique…」
「Well, it"ll be alright. Next time we will catch him.」
「That"s right. I"ll immediately contact other countries and arrange for wanted posters.」
「Haa, Bacchus… why are you here? And together with the knight leader…」 (The Hand)

Who are these two people? The Hand-san seems to be acquainted with them though…?

The two introduce themselves to me.

「So you are Alim Nariwei. I"m late in introducing myself. I am Gordes Kings. Thanks for taking care of Olgo earlier.」
「I am Bacchus・Du"Sauce… SS-ranker and sake brewer. Today I am here to guard the royalty… Let"s get along. Incidentally, I know The Hand through the slavery abolition movement. Right The Hand? 」
「Th… Thank you, I am Alim・Nariwei.」

I see, so it is Olgo"s father and an escort for the royalty… who also brews sake.

Bacchus-san, talks to me in a hisohiso whisper.

「(I heard from Uruto-shi… that you have a master skill that rules over all items? Would you collaborate with me to brew some sake?)」
「That sort of… hisohiso voice… it"s alright to not speak like that.」
「Yayifications! Now you and I are friends」
「Y, yea that is so」

Hey, Uruto-san, don"t go spreading it around without permission. I have never drunk sake.
Well, it"s all good. I got plenty of free time.
At any rate, there seems to have been a lot of people involved in the slave abolition movement.

Gordes-san has an apologetic expression and says.

「Alim, The Hand, I must apologize. I feel bad that in order to get evidence to catch that man I let you get into a bad situation, especially Alim, having to deal with his s.e.xual advances… I am extremely sorry.」 (Gordes)
「Ah… yes. That is alright, I am OK now.」 (Alim)
「That"s right, don"t worry about it.」(The Hand)
「That so… I am really sorry.」

As the four of us where talking, the princess entered the room.

「The food is ready-wa! Alim-sama, The Hand-sama, also, Bacchus-sama and the knight leader, please follow me this way.」 (Karua)
「Roger」
「Yes」

The four of us followed Karusama.
When we arrived, there were many gorgeous dishes lined up on the table.
The King, the prince-sama, the minister-sama, Ruin-sama, etc. where already seated.

The King spoke.

「You two, sorry about that. I had you cooperate in catching that guy.」
「It"s all good」
「Please don"t worry about it.」

When he heard our reply, he appeared relieved.
Well, I was s.e.xually hara.s.sed.

「Hmmm, is that so. You have my thanks. …Now then, let us have a meal with the two winners of the 452nd battle tournament! Everybody! Thanks to the heavens, thanks to the earth, and thanks to G.o.d. Now then… let us partake.」
「「「「「Itadakimasu (thankfully receive)」」」」

The banquet began. They are dishes made by the chefs in the castle. The ingredients are also good quality. They said it was C-rank and rank monster meat… and there is boiled blue tongue.
The drinks are top-notch. Apparently, Bacchus was the one who made the sake. In this country, those who are under the age of 17 should not drink, so I and Karusama had grape juice.

The sake that Bacchus-san made was amazing. Particularly the wine that the King was drinking is a treasure.
Bacchus-san was very happy when I, the one who holds the item master skill, told him my impressions about the sake.
I"m glad you understand the value of the sake you produced.

Anyway, we began to eat. Incidentally, according to a story the King said, this seems to be the first time that Ruin-sama has joined the tournament champion banquet. It is because I am here.
All of the members of Seinforce are here.

Having drunk enough alcohol to become intoxicated, Lilo-san was trying to embrace me.
Dangerous, I just managed to avoid it. I forgot to turn back into the girl Alim. I got to quickly change.

The Hand-san was mostly talking to Bacchus-san.

It is about the middle of the banquet. Right now, I and Karusama are sitting next to each other eating.
Ah, she looks quite happy. I have already totally become this girl"s friend.
Karusama addresses me.

「Umm… thank you very much. Alim-sama, I… umm, I have no friends… there hasn"t been anyone the same age that I could eat with… I am very happy…」
「Oh no, it"s no problem. … Oh yea, how about you address me without a honorific? We are already friends aren"t we? 」
「e… um… That"s right. Then call me Karua too! I"d like to take this opportunity to also be called without an honorific…」

Uh oh, I said that she should omit the honorific when calling me because we are friends, I can"t exactly say 『That"s a bit too informal for me to call you without one』now can I.

I quietly look at the King and minister-san"s faces. Have they heard what we were talking about…? Or was this within their expectations from the beginning? Both of them are already giving me an OK sign.

「Alright… I understand. Once again, best regards! Karuchan! 」
「Yes! Please take care of me! Alim-chan! 」
「By the way, you know, Karuchan, you don"t need to speak so formally with me?」
「Ummm, that"s kind of difficult… because this is my everyday way of speaking.」
「Is that so, well it"s not good to overdo it and make it unnatural. Just do what you normally do.」
「Yes, I will do that. Alim-chan! 」

__

We all enjoyed the banquet. I talked about swords with the Knight Commander, I talked about food with Bacchus-san, I told Tuhl-san and Karuchan about my adventures, and I was hugged by Lilo-san, Myuri-san and Karuchan.

However, there can be rare irregularities at such times.
It"s often like that in light novels.

Suddenly, without warning, lightning struck, no, it was shot, and the outside wall of the dining hall was destroyed.

The walls of the castle aren"t so easy to break.
In particular, I have appraised this castle and it is quiet st.u.r.dy.
It cannot be broken by an attack that is less than an S-rank monster.

That is, it is definitely an S-ranked attack.

It was the S-rank monster, ≪Thunderbird≫.

Leave a comment

Thunderbird… Why is it in this place?
Everyone in this place was stunned.

As expected of an SS-ranker and the Knight Commander, they immediately tried to counter attack… but.

Thunderbirds don"t have any delay between attacks, and they constantly send out electrical discharges.
The electrical discharge is different from magic. Thunderbirds emit lightning from their bodies.
I won"t be able to take out my sword from my pouch.

The Knight Commander moved to protect the King and Bacchus-san moved to protect Tuhl-san. They showed skillful evasion.
The Hand-san managed to keep the discharge away from Myuri-san and Lilo-san, but he seems to have eaten a discharge at his feet.
Olgo-san, Ruin-san and unexpectedly the minister-san, where avoiding on their own, but Olgo-san got hit on his right arm.
I"ll give a potion to Olgo-san and The Hand-san later.

Incidentally, it feels like there are more discharges near me and Karuchan.

I push Karuchan out of the way of the discharges forcefully.
Four of the discharges. .h.i.t me that I was unable to avoid.

One on my left arm and one on my right flank.

And the other two hit my face.

「Bugugaaaaa….」

I can feel my face being burned. It hurts. Painful
My lips get burned together and my voice won"t come out. My left eye seems to have been baked. I can no longer hear anything.

Fortunately, I can still use my right eye, right hand, and both feet.

It was enough. One hand, one eye, and both feet are more than enough to cut up the ⓢⓗⓘⓣ bird that attacked my friend.

「A….. ri…. …of…. ….ace is….」

Karuchan is saying something while crying. But, right now I can"t hear anything.
The people around me that see my face are covering their mouth or looking away or look like they will cry.
Is it really that bad?

The Knight Commander and Bacchus-san stood up and headed toward the thunderbird with faces filled with anger.

… I"ll have you know. That"s my prey.

Fortunately, I am able to put on my glove. So, now I can move four times as fast.

In an instant, I am close up to the Thunderbird in midair.
I then take out my magic sword, pour 8000 MP into it, and strengthen the sword by 20 times and attack with 『Extreme Sword Technique・Fifth Destruction』. All this in was in an instant.
And then, it fainted.

I grab the giant beak of the Thunderbird before it falls and force it through the gaping hole in the wall.
And then, from inside the banquet hall, I unleash 『Extreme Sword Technique・First Grade』twice. And as a finishing blow I invoke『Extreme Sword Technique・Fifth Destruction』.
Inside the castle, there were no marks left by my attack. This sword is really useful.
It fell down undamaged.

I was worried about Karuchan, and when I looked in her direction, white smoke was approaching Karuchan…
The smoke changed form and became the hand of that ugly guy. It was easy to identify as it had an ornament with bad taste.
Now I see, that guy planned to abduct Karuchan while we fought the thunderbird.
So that was your plan, huh?

I threw my sword towards the hand that was approaching, making sure not to hit Karuchan. Karuchan is surprised. Sorry.

But unfortunately, it seems like it was not fully materialized, and the smoke was only scattered, but Faust"s hand could not attack.
I can no longer move because of the pain. Just now, I have overworked my body.
I was unable to catch the ugly man. He might come for Karuchan again.

But, but it really hurts so bad I cannot move.
It was mostly around my face… Haha, probably right now, it would be a joke to call myself a beautiful girl…
I want to heal it with a great potion but I cannot open my mouth.

While I was thinking such things, everyone who was there, including the guards, rushed to me.

Then the Knight Commander-san used a knife to pry upon my mouth and poured in a great potion. It is probably one that I had given to Ruin-san before.

I have confirmed it, my body is healed.
I have also confirmed that everything has turned back.

…Karuchan was hugging me while crying.
The tears where spontaneously coming from my eyes as well. Naturally, it was from both eyes.
And several people were saying 『Thank goodness, Thank goodness』.

They took me to the doctor"s office on a stretcher. That wasn"t particularly necessary as I had drunken a great potion.
Was my state really that bad?
I asked Ruin-san who had come together with me to the doctor"s office what sort of face I had but he said, 『Better if you don"t know』.

Well, with what feeling I had, I suspected that it had burned down to exposing bone, so that"s quiet appropriate.

Likewise, Karuchan was crying quite hard saying 『I"m sorry, I"m sorry』.
When I asked her why she was apologizing so much, she replied.

「Alim-chan was… uuu… In order to protect me…to become like tha… uaaaa… I"m sorry… I"m sowwy… sowie! …I am…」

I see, to be protected, and then feel one"s own lack of strength and apologize.
I am happy to receive your feelings, but I am not angry, you know?

「ee… I am completely not angry, you know? Rather, I am wondering, Karuchan, are you safe and uninjured? 」
「eee… is that… so? I thought for sure that you were so angry that you threw your sword at me…」
「Oh right, Alim, about that, I"d like to hear the reason. It is normally unthinkable to throw a sword at a princess without a sufficient reason. Today you spent time together…why did you throw your sword at her? 」

The Knight Commander-san, asked to understand the reason.
The King also seems to want to hear about it. No way, did no one else notice?

「ee…? Did no one else notice? That guy…」
「What? The thunderbird? 」
「No, that"s wrong. After defeating the thunderbird, I turned to Karuchan, and I saw an unnatural smoke floating towards her with a hand reaching out.」
「What did you say!?」
「Yes, I was certain that she was going to be kidnapped.」
「I see… to kidnap the princess during the confusion… what a ridiculous guy. All soldiers should be put on high alert.」
「n? Smoke you say? … It couldn"t be」

Bacchus-san seems to have noticed it.
Because of the emphasis on the word smoke, the Knight Commander seems to have figured out who it may be.

「Smoke… don"t tell me it was Faust?」
「… certainly, that hand belonged to Faust. It had the same bad taste ornament that he was wearing.」 (Alim)
「… that so… then Faust… the thunderbird too is probably…」

Right, the King murmured that to himself while looking down.
Then, in that moment, a huge amount of magic power came out of him.
In this world, when a human seriously snaps, magic power overflows form their body.
Amazing… this person is considerably strong…

Then, with a face like a demon, he ordered the Knight Commander and the surrounding soldiers.

「Now, immediately! Increase the search for that man and issue more search warrants. Add 10 million bells reward! Contact the other countries, and ask them to report any information found! He is accused of the crime of attacking my family with the thunderbird, the crime of interrupting the the banquet, the crime of destroying the castle… and the crime of making my daughters friend look like that for a moment, that serious injury! That guy… when he is caught… I will make sure that he never, ever sees the light of day again」

An ugly man is frantically running away from the capital.

I have failed. Furthermore, Alim saw my hand.
I will likely be blamed for the thunderbird.
Faust is convinced of this while running away as smoke from the royal capital.

「ree… I don"t see the two girls… Faust-san?」

It was said by Mephisto Fares who suddenly appeared before him. He was my contractor for six years. In exchange for conferring power, wealth, and the pleasures of this world, he contracted me to capture a red-haired girl, Alim, and the princess of Mephirad.

Six years ago.. I was a slave merchant that hid that status and became an adventurer. Soon after that happened, I had made this contract.
How was it from then? I could touch women as much as I want because they were frozen in fear. I"ve s.n.a.t.c.hed away the chast.i.ty of many women. Being a slave merchant also went well, and within one year I had become S-ranked.

But, where has this all gone wrong?
Was it from when Lastman, that joke of a guy who started the slave abolition movement?
Everything completely went wrong.
My partic.i.p.ation in the battle tournament was also stopped.

I wonder why? I wonder what I did wrong.
I just did what I wanted, and lived how I wanted.
I made others unhappy to make myself happy. What is wrong with that?

Mephisto Fares… He calls himself the Great Devil.
Well, I don"t really care who this person really is.

This guy said last year.

『Really, after six years, if you bring me the red-haired girl and the princess, I promise that you will be have the world"s strongest power, wealth that you cannot possibly deplete no matter how much you spend, and many women… be sure to succeed! This is your second chance, you know? If you fail, I will kill you. Sounds good? 』

And

The second chance…
The second chance!?

No way… no way…

I must escape!

I tried to run. But, he was already in front of me.

「Unpleasant… We have been in a relationship for six years haven"t we…? Why are you trying to escape…? 」
「A… a…」
「Ah, don"t tell me, you messed up again…?」
「W…Wrong…」
「What exactly have I gotten wrong?」
「It"s my bad… It"s my bad… next time, next time for sure…」
「No, it"s twice now. When I said twice, I meant twice. That is why… I will gratefully enjoy your life force.」

The devil moves slowly, slowly forward while licking his lips.

「Stop it, stop it, stop……bugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…..~」

The next morning after the King of Mephirad sent out warrants for Faust.

In the forest, two soldiers who went searching found a person who seemed to be Faust.

But the corpse was considerably gruesome.

Large amounts of blood were scattered around.
And also, two eyeb.a.l.l.s where placed, in order to stand out. And around those two eyeb.a.l.l.s dozens of teeth and ornaments where lined up.

In addition, there was a piece of paper attached to a tree.
And it was written in blood and the contents were quite creepy.

≪The ugly person who died here broke a contract.≫

The public was informed that Faust was eaten by a monster.
This was done in order to avoid disorder.

Right now, the Knight Commander-san, Bacchus-san, and Karuchan are all apologizing to me.
Bacchus-san was apologizing that even though he is an SS-ranker, he was unable to prevent the thunderbird attack. Karuchan was apologizing for a.s.suming that I was angry even though she had been saved twice. And the Knight Commander was apologizing for both being unable to prevent the thunderbird attack and thinking I was angry.

I am saying that it is all good. You don"t have to keep apologizing.

Moreover, the King told me to stay in the medical room, even though I was completely fine because of drinking a great potion.

In addition, I handed over a Great Potion for Olgo-san and The Hand-san, Olgo-san meekly accepted the potion, but The Hand-san would not take it.
Is it because it is so expensive? In that case I will give a demonstration in front of everyone"s eyes.

As I suspected, Ruin-san and company hadn"t heard about how fast I could make a Great Potion and they were astonished. The King and Minster-san asked if I would work in the castle every day.
I did not want to do that, so I declined. Instead, I made a promise to deliver Great Potions the next time I came to play.

I can make 500 Great Potions from one medicinal herb, it might be needless help, but I made a Master Potion and hand it over.
Now, Great Potions take less than a minute to make by hand. Moreover, when I use my machine and tools it only takes a few seconds.
In that case a Master Potion is better. It can be done in one minute with the machine, consider it a service.

I need to make a bow for Gilmars-san, have a business talk with Grape-san, and talk to several tile print company reporters for their weekly issue.
I am surprisingly busy.

In the evening, The Hand-san and Bacchus-san left.
The Hand-san has someone waiting for him, and Bacchus-san needs to do his guarding job.

Bacchus-san said to the King that he didn"t need a commission. It seems as though he felt like he failed.
Eventually Bacchus-san gave up and received a reward. The King can be surprisingly pushy.

The King said that he would give The Hand-san a reward. He said it was a reward for helping protect his relatives, and proceeded to quite aggressively push it to be received.
As a result, it seems that I and The Hand-san will be commended in public later.
I"ll stand out again. It is all good, it doesn"t bother me.

The two have left but I can"t leave.
The King told me to stay here for a day to make sure everything is alright. It was hard to refuse.

Given all that, I have decided to play together with Karuchan in the medical room.
She was quite excited when she saw Oth.e.l.lo and Jenga for the first time…
I told Karuchan that I was in the process of commercializing these with the Medial Merchant Group, and she said, 『Your almost the same age as me, but it is amazing how Alim-chan is already doing business. How admirable.』

I was allowed to eat dinner and take a bath in a very large bathing tub.
But, it makes sense that Karuchan would follow me into the bath, but Lilo-san and Myuri-san are here as well for some reason.
Lilo-san"s chest was quiet impressive… I wonder if I will grow to that grand of a scale.
As for Myuri-san… it wasn"t like she had nothing, but there really wasn"t much?

I don"t feel any concern entering the bath together with three girls, though I was a man… no, no recently it feels like I am starting to forget.
…well, I guess that"s ok? It seems like I have even started to refer to myself as a female in my mind.

At first, I was supposed to sleep in the bed in the medical office, but Karuchan argued that I should sleep together in her bed, and the King was unable to go against her.
The King said she was being selfish, but he looked delighted. Apparently, this was the first time she asked for something selfishly.

I"m honestly nervous. But, when I see Karuchan"s delighted face I am unable to refuse, even though I didn"t plan to refuse in the first place.

As expected of a princess"s room, Karuchan"s room was quite s.p.a.cious.
The bed was extravagant. Four people could sleep on it at a time.

I and Karuchan went to sleep while chatting together on the bed… Have a good night…
