Chapter 5-12 ( Temporary ) Qualification Round for Martial Arts Tournament in Royal Capital - Iris -

 "Did that person fall on his face? Is he all right?”

“Hee...... hee......"

 

I don't care about that right now.

I'm worried about her, but my stomach, my stomach is physically twisted!

 

"Here, will you answer me?"

“Huph! If you try any more, I'll throw you out, even if you are a princess!"

“You've got some nerve. Give it a try. My personal guard will cut off your head without a sound, OK?”

 

Grununun .......

Don't underestimate my crisis-sensing abilities.

I'll never do it because the alerts keep going off like a storm in my head!

 

"Hey, Iris. Don't cause too much trouble, will you?"

"It seems to me that you are the one who is causing trouble for Sir Hayato, aren't you, sister-in-law?”

 

I am sure that Sparrier-sama is now able to watch the game with Hayato firmly next to her.

However, Hayato is looking very tired.

I'm not sure what happened to him while I was being tickled.

 

"Is that so? Did I do something to trouble Hayato-sama?"

"I'm not in trouble! Iris-sama, please don't say strange things!"

“Nishi-shi-shi.”

 

This girl is having a great time.

Oh, Hayato has been busy with the Princess over there again.

The princess over there is too full of emotions, smiling and depressed at full throttle.

To put it in a roundabout way, she looks like a pain in the ass .......

But she's still beautiful on an extraordinary level.

 

“I'm not going to have your head blown off here if you really toss me about. Let's just lean on him like adults, shall we?”

“Please do so. ......"

“But having nothing to do is no fun at all."

"Let's watch the qualifying rounds ......"

“Hmm. You've been a little careless with your words from time to time, haven't you?"

"I'm sorry about that."

 

I forgot that I was laughing so hard just now that I let that kind of respect fly away.

This person is just a restless kid who likes to play pranks......

 

“I may be royalty, but I am independent and have no claim to the throne. You don't have to worry about that much."

“Hmm? What do you mean?"

“Hmm. The black hair and eyes indicate that you are a “drifter,” just like Hayato. Then it is only natural that you do not know."

 

Iris lifted her leg and moved it to one side and got off my lap.

Then she pulled her skirt up and sat down so that we were facing each other.

As we are facing each other, her skirt is now wrapped around my lower half of my body.

 

“Here, support my waist."

“Yes, yes.”

 

When I supported her waist as she told me, she leaned her weight on me.

Although I had to keep my balance so that I would not fall to the other side, it was very dangerous because Princess was adjusting her position so that we would be able to keep eye contact.

If I fall, my neck might get separated from my body.

 

“Yes. It's easier to talk to people facing this way."

“Well, when talking to someone, you should look them in the eye.”

"What's that? In the animal kingdom, eye contact is a threat to devour another, you know?"

“Aren't we human beings? ......"

“Human beings are also animals. That's why you've been saying you're going to eat me. I'm afraid."

"I think it's the other way around. Absolutely, I think the princess is the one who is going to eat me."

"Shall I eat you?"

 

Is she sticking out her tongue and acting bewitching ......?

Haha, you're ten years too early!

 

"Mwah. Is it my imagination that somehow I seem to have been made fun of?”

“I think it's just your imagination.”

"You have the best smile I've ever seen."

“I think it's just your imagination.”

 

I think it's just imagination.

 

“Mwah, don't pat me on the head! You're being disrespectful!"

“Yes, yes. Good, good, good."

 

Ah, I can't take it anymore.

She's a child.

She'll let me pamper her!

 

"Nuhhh...... you have made many a woman cry. Pleasant!

"I'm extremely flattered."

“Oh. You speak the language of Amatsukuni."

"Is that so? How did Your Highness know?"

“Yes. I am a well-educated woman, so I know it!"

"I see. I see."

“I see. Praise me more!"

 

Instead of praising her, I raise the stroking level.

I have five stroking levels.

But still, I wonder if Amatsukuni is similar to Japanese culture.

 

"Now, let's get back to the story. You can keep your hand where it is. Instead, hold me steady with one hand."

“I certainly understand.”

 

I support it with the hand I'm not stroking, but it seems to have less weight on her body than before and only requires a supportive role.

 

By the way, the princess's hair is very soft and silky.

As I gently stroked her hair while taking care of her tiara, I found that her head had hair that had a nice touch, making it worth stroking even for me.

This may be the time to bring out the “Kitten Ultimate Heavenly Massage,” which can be called a natural cheat.

It is a superb stroking technique that will make any kitty crumble at the waist when you use it, and it is so pleasant that even a cat can be trained to do tricks on the condition that it will become addicted to it.

Ufufufu. Even the princess is captivated by it...

 

“My parents are no longer with me.”

 

...... was not the time to joke around.

Oh my God, this is a very serious story.

What's with the “ Kitten Ultimate Heavenly Massage”?

I don't know what good that's going to do.

Well, I am, I am a ......

 

“Well, they're living a normal life nonetheless.”

"Oh, really?”

 

You had me worried.

I almost had to permanently seal all my stroking techniques as a warning.

 

“Yes. The current king, well, he is my uncle, but my father was his brother. He was a brilliant but carefree man who renounced his right to the throne and gave it to his younger brother, my uncle, and went into hiding with the rest of the family, saying that he would live as he pleased."

"That's something that the common people would have ......"

“You must have thought that my uncle might have been suspected of having done something wrong. But the former king was still alive. It was officially recognized as an oath and he renounced his right to the throne permanently and his status as royalty."

 

Seriously.

I have no yearning for royalty, but still, what kind of circumstances would make him abandon that position?

And why is this girl the only one in the royal palace?

 

"Father asked me if I would live with him as well......"

 

Instantly, Her Highness, the Princess, hides her expression by lowering her face.

Yes, it is a painful event to remember now.

I can't even imagine how much pressure it must be.

 

"I told him no, he's an idiot!”

"What?"

 

Huh?

I'm sorry, I heard you, but I didn't hear you very well.

What did you say?

 

"Who would give up this life of luxury? I asked my uncle to let me do whatever I wanted on the condition that I renounce my right to the throne! Everything my father left behind belongs to me! The private property and the guard belong to me! Well, he took the two of my guards away from me!"

“You mean that? You have no interest in the throne, but you want to use your money and power to live as you please."

"That's right! Eat good food! Go where I want, when I want! A wonderful life without being forced to decide who to marry, and without being involved in the troublesome succession wars!"

"And on top of that, you have your father's former personal guard to protect you? ......"

"Well, yes! My father's personal guard is a special kind of guard, but it's more secure than a regular guard! "

 

I see.

I mean, my earlier serious consideration wasn't even grazed, was it?

I'm embarrassed!

What's your duty?

Actually, she's not actually a good girl, but she's just as she is.

But still....

 

“Your Highness the Princess ......”

"What's wrong with you?"

 

Her Highness opened her mouth in a warning gesture, and in my opinion, her face is extremely cute.

It is like a child making a “oooh” sound.

 

"I envy you so much!”

"What?"

 

In a sense, this is my ideal life, isn't it?

Living in safety and security without working.

Eating delicious food, drinking delicious sake, having beautiful women at my beck and call, and living as I please.

I had no idea that my ideal was being carried out in a place like this.

 

It is also wonderful when she eliminate the hassle of succession to the throne and gets the right to do as she pleases!

For the king, it eliminates unnecessary disputes and allows him to have his own children on the next throne.

She herself gets her freedom.

She is indeed the daughter of the man who abandoned the throne.

I guess this freedom is inherited from her father!

 

“Oh, yeah, yeah! You're an understanding man, aren't you?"

“You too! Your Highness is the one! I envy you!"

“I like it. You can call me Iris instead of Her Highness the Princess! I was afraid of the scornful looks on the faces of the nobles when they heard this, but a man who understands can understand!"

"No, no, it's an ideal life!"

“Mm-hmm! As they say in Amatsukuni, it's all about the meat and the drink paradise!"

“A meat and drink paradise!”

 

It is a pond made of sake and a forest made of meat.

The forest is not a carnal desire.

This time it is different!

 

"Um, Master? It's almost time for Shiro's match to start. ......”

"What? Already the fourth game?"

"Yes. I didn't call on you because you seemed to be having a good time talking with Her Highness, but I thought I should call on you for Shiro's game."

"Thank you! I almost missed it!"

"What is it? One of yours?"

"Yes, she's one of ours."

“Hmm. Then I'll have a look too. Oh, that's a Chupacan. Can I have some of that?"

 

Iris pointed at the candy-like stick Renge was eating and urged me to bring it to her.

Renge, who was suddenly spoken to, looked at Iris alternately with the chupa-candy she was holding in her hand, bewildered.

 

"No, it's still in the magic bag, isn't it?"

"Ha, ha! That's right! I'll bring it to you now!"

"You sure? I bought that from a street vendor."

"I often go out on the town and eat food from street stalls. A true gourmet must eat everything!"

 

Well, that doesn't make me a true gourmand, since I can't eat bugs......

I don't care if I can't be a true gourmet or not.

 

“It's over here!”

 

Putting her arm into the magic bag and taking out a chupacan, she left her own chupacan with Solte and reverently offered it to Iris.

I wonder if it's like holding it with both hands and hanging her head so that she doesn't touch the main body......

 

“Yes. Good work!

“Ha-wa-Yes!”

 

Renge retreated with her head bowed, accepted the chupa-can from Solte, and tossed it back into her mouth.

Almost at the same time, I heard the vice captain take a deep breath.

 

'Well then, ahhh! The fourth game! Let's begin!'

'Woooooooooo!'

 

I wonder how I didn't notice all this craziness......

 

 

 

Author Note:

 

Next time, the battle will finally begin.

It's a battle royal, though.

...... I wonder if this will fit in just 5 chapters.
