"I'm back! I bought a bunch of stuff!"
A little after Triton left, Aina and the other three returned.
I thought I had given them a magic bag, but for some reason all three of them have food in both hands as well, I wonder how much they bought......
"Wow, it's the royal capital after all. I've never seen so much food!”
“I may have bought a little too much ......, but there are eleven people here, so there should be enough to go around.”
"Well, there's Shiro, too. ...... Huh? Where's Shiro?"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm not sure if you've passed each other. I'm sure Shiro went shopping too,.......”
"Then, will there be more? Is it possible to eat all of it?"
No, it doesn't matter, because I'll store them in my magic space if it comes to it"
"Is that so? I'm glad it's not going to waste......"
I don't know who Shiro preferred to keep quiet about, and she said Solte that she wouldn't be participated.
I'm not sure if it's okay for me to talk about it, so I'll just keep my mouth shut.
"Oh, it looks like it's about to start."
Hayato turns his eyes, and I follow his lead and turn my attention to the spectator's seats, which are set up at the highest point between the general seats and the nobles' seats.
Then, an old man ...... or rather a man wearing a crown and very noble-looking clothes stands up and walks to the front so that everyone can see him.
"Hayato, is he......?"
"Yes. The current King of the Kingdom of Rassiayu. Narbain Rassiayu Eisenbirk-sama.”
Oh, ...... that's the king?
Oh, no, it's rude to treat him like that.
Is that person the king of this country?......
'Oh wow, this tool is handy. I didn't realize how loud I didn't have to shout.'
'Your Majesty, I hear everything. ......'
Oh ...... that's the one I made.......
'Mmm. Ohon. Everyone. Sorry for the long wait. Let's begin the opening ceremony.'
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Then, the general seats were bustling with excitement.
In comparison, I could only hear applause in the noble seats.
I was caught up in the crowd and almost shouted, but at that point I realized the atmosphere around me and lost my momentum.
Muuu...... I wish I could go over there and have a good time with them.
'I don't intend to prolong this with formal greetings. All participants in today's qualifying rounds and those in tomorrow's finals should show your strength! That's all!'
Oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh, he's a nice, likeable king.
When I was in high school, I had a principal who was famous for telling long stories, so long that a number of students would collapse from anemia.
Once, he said, “If you want to sleep standing up, that's fine. If you can sleep, I will give you 100,000 yen.' I tried to sleep standing up, but he didn't give me 100,000 yen, I still remember that.
Isn't it funny that a teacher came up to me and shook my shoulder saying to wake up?
Didn't the principal tell you it was okay to sleep standing up?
Oh no, no, no.
Now is not the time to reminisce about old stories and miss the principal who was caught in a scandal.
'Well then, let's get underway, shall we?'
'Kohon ...... ah ah ah ...... testing testing ...... nn, nn, nn! OK. Uh-oh. All right. I am Vice Captain of the Order of Priests and Knights, and I have received an order from His Majesty! I will be your commentator for the next three days.'
Oh, it's Vice Captain .......
That's right. When it comes to commentary, it's thevice-captain, after all!
'I ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness for any slurred words or loud voices that may be uttered during the commentary.'
'It's good, it's good. This is a festival. A little bit of rudeness is fine.'
'I am very grateful for your kindness! Thank you very much. Soooooo ....... Here comes! Contestants! Entrance ！！！！'
‘Oh?’
As soon as she got permission from His Majesty, she went full throttle.
I thought she was going to be a professional wrestler.
Look, even the king is surprised at the sudden transformation.
"Hmm? Hey, Hayato."
"Yes. What is it?"
“Well, I feel like that beautiful looking woman beside the king is looking at Hayato, is it my imagination?”
"Ah ...... ah ....... No, I don't think it is just your imagination. ......”
Sitting in reserve next to the king are a stunningly beautiful girl and a young woman.
Well, first of all, no doubt they’re related to the king.
It can't be that they are his mistress.......
The girl is wearing a pure white dress and a tiara and looks kind and transparent.
She looks like a younger version of Wendy when I first met her.
And there is another girl.
She is dressed in a light pink dress with a tiara, just like previous girl.
This young girl is also beautiful, but her eyes are a bit narrowed and she looks as if she is about to giggle, rather than looking lovely like previous young girl.
I have the impression that she likes to get into mischief and annoy the servants.
"Hey, Hayato."
"What is it?"
“Well, I think the girls near the king are coming this way with their guards."
“No,......, I don't think it's just imagination.”
Right,......?
That girl was very quick to act after she noticed Hayato.
So, if that's the case.
"Hey, Hayato."
"What is it?"
"Is that your fiancee, if I may ask?"
"Yes,......, well,......."
“That means she's the princess after all,....... Wow, she's beautiful, and I envy her!"
"Are you serious?"
“Well it is true that she's beautiful. However, I don't want to have anything to do with the royal family. ......"
"Too honest! No, but she seems really nice. ......?"
No, because I feel like I'm definitely going to get into trouble.
Well, if people say there is a backstory to that, I might not be able to believe everything in the world.
I mean, I would never doubt Wendy and her friends, but other than that, I don't know.
“So, that royalty-looking person is coming towards us, can I run away?”
"It's too late. ......"
"......, what do you want me to do?"
“It's a private visit, so you can concentrate on watching the game ...... maybe."
"Even though it is still the introduction of the competitors, ......"
'Entry Number! ! Eleven! ! !'
'Oh, hey. Won't that make your throat hurt?'
'Oh, thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I'm used to it.'
'Uh-huh.'
Look, the vice captain is too excited and the king is worried about her.
I should just look at that and laugh like a-ha-ha! Oh, God, they're probably getting close.
I won't turn my head that way!
I don't know anything about the courtesy of a retainer, or the etiquette of a noble!
Okay, Hayato told me to concentrate on watching the game!
If this makes them angry, I'll blame it on Hayato!
“ Hayato-sama! If you're already here, why don't you come over here? “ ‘Ah ...... ah ah ah ah, good day, Sparrier-sama."
"Please don't call me “sama.” ...... You can call me Sparrier if you like. We are a couple, you know......"
I'm sure you're still the Princess, aren't you? ......
The other little girl is also a princess.
“Well, we are not yet married......."
"Do you not like it, Hayato-sama, ......?"
“No! That's not what I meant. ...... I'm also an adventurer, so I don't know when I might lose my life. And yet, being husband and wife at the stage of engagement is .....".
"I'm sure you're as serious as ever. I love that about you, but please don't tell me that you will lose your life, even if it is hypothetical......"
"Oh, please don't cry. Well, how should I ......”
'Entry! Number 20! Booooooooomph! '
'Ugh, my ears ......'
Uh ...... yeah.
I mean, isn't it about time the king got angry ......? But since he said he was fine with it, he probably can't get angry.
Tomorrow, the vice captain will probably be in a different spot giving an commentary.
Still, Hayato was flinching.
I didn't look at him, though! If I looked in his direction for even a moment and our eyes met, I would have to greet her in an aristocratic manner.
Rather than blundering there, it would be better to follow Hayato's instructions and show that I was absorbed in watching the game.
But reality is ruthless......
I had been looking only ahead, but suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of me.
I was not watching the entrance of the players, but when a face suddenly appeared in front of me, I could not help but be distracted by it.
When the eyes were firmly set on something in particular that I was not looking at, the gazes naturally crossed.
Then all kinds of information came through my eyes.
A pink dress.
A sparkling tiara.
Slightly upturned eyes.
Yes. I can tell at this point.
“You....... Where are you looking?”
"Well, ......"
“'Well,...... you must be sick to look at my body as if you were licking it."
“I don't have such thoughts, but I'm sorry. I was surprised by the suddenness of the situation......"
By the way, that disease is incurable.
I prefer the big one, because it's different!
“Hmmm ......”
...... what is it?
I'm being looked at all over my body as if I'm being stared at and priced out...…
"Are you a friend of Hayato?”
"Yes, I am. I am his friend."
“I see. Then you can rest assured."
Then the princess (small) pushed my shoulders and made me put my back against seat, and she turned around and got on my knees......?
"Eh, wait! What are you doing!”
“Hmm. From above, it's too far away to be interesting. Wouldn't this seat be closer?"
“No. In that case, I'll get out of the way......"
“No, then, it is difficult for you to see from my back. And this seat would be safer with Lord Hayato there, wouldn't it? Besides, it's too noisy in there."
'Entry Number 30! Cristo ...... pher!!!'
'How can you go on with this ......? It's becoming more and more ingrained in me. ......'
King. You are feeling dizzy.
Be careful, don't go beyond that.
"Then you should ride on Hayato's lap, or on the lap of one of his guards. ......"
"Hayato's sister-in-law might sit on his lap. The guards wear armor, you know. Do you want me to sit on a hard, uncomfortable chair?"
"Ah, ......, no. But won't I lose my head for disrespecting you?"
"Hmm? No one can limit my actions. It's my decision, so it doesn't matter."
“... Yes. ......”
“Well, well. It is an honor to be so close to royalty, isn't it? Accept it with open arms."
It was an order from a royal family that would not ask me if I wanted it or not.
Even if I did not want to be associated with the royal family, there was no way that I would refuse to accept the order, being a man who is willing to accept whatever is best for the long term.
However, I know that the situation is not good.
I looked toward Hayato for help, but Hayato seemed desperate to deal with Spurrier-sama.
"Look, even Iris is trying to look here! May I also suggest ......?”
"No, no, no, ......, the king will miss you."
"Father's got Mother to keep him company."
“She's not there yet, is she ......?”
“She'll be here soon. ......Why can't I watch here......?”
"Well,......, it's hard work for the guards,......."
“Ugh, Hayato-sama......"
Oh, this is no use.
I can't help you out.
Okay, I get it.
Then the rest of our crew can go to .......
"Heads up. Today is a festival. Enjoy yourselves.”
"Oh!"
Oh, no.
They are all looking forward and not looking at me.
Only Wendy seems to be paying attention to me, but she can't seem to do anything if I do something bad that will make my position worse. ......
“Look, your hand is loose. Hold me tighter.”
“Yes. ......"
I hold her tightly around her waist as she told me to do.
The Princess (small), or rather Iris-sama, lays her hand on top of the hand that embraced her and fully rests her body on it.
Really, my head won't suddenly fly off, will it ......?
“Hmm. Comfortable to sit in.”
“Is it ......?”
"Mm-hmm! What do you think? Would you like to be my chair from now on?"
“Please spare me, .......”
“Hmm.You are extravagant. Well, for once, you can be my chair."
"I've given up on that. ......"
"That's all right. If you can impress me, I will consider doing you a favor."
"Yes......"
I wouldn't want to be in that situation if I could. ......
'Entry Number 40! Mask ze Shiro ！！！！'
Oh, it's Shiro's turn.
Come to think of it, Iris-sama is lighter than Shiro.
Is she eating properly?
“Hey, don't move. It tickles.”
"Excuse me."
"Sorry. Is this what it would be like if I had a brother?"
Iris-sama poked and prodded my body, which I could never touch.
I was so ticklish that I was writhing, but she seemed to like it and kept poking me again and again.
"Oh, ha-ha-ha! Stop it hahaha! Stop it!"
“Mnh-mnh. You're disrespectful. I'll keep going."
“No, you can't! Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
I was so careful not to treat her badly that I didn't even notice when she started talking to me in a casual way.
Because of this, I was still being pranked for a while, but it was no longer possible for me to calmly notice it.
'Oooooohhh! Contestant Mask ze Shiro! Appeared in a flashy acrobatics but fell flat at the last minute ah ah ah ah ah ！！！！'
Ha-ha-ha, Shiro!
Uhihi, haha. Are you okay!?
Hmmm, sorry! I didn't see it!
Thanks for the chapter😉
