Resting in the castle of Kanchu, led by Ryuubi-san, for one day.
I wondered how many days it would take to meet Saracrim, but when I told them we were ready, they said we could meet her within the day.
Was she unexpectedly free…? I thought so, but it seemed that even after Saracrim* became King, detailed politics were managed by the three representatives, including Ryuubi-san.
TN: Yeah, it’s saracrim again.
However, final confirmation always had to pass through Saracrim, and no matter how much time was spent detailing a plan, if she said no, it was no…
Presumably, the alliance with Einzheil was also withdrawn by Saracrim’s single word.
As for what Saracrim usually did, in the morning, those boasting of their skills challenged her.
It seemed she had promised to step down from the throne if these challengers defeated her, so all of Ryuubi-san’s subordinates who were confident in their skills challenged her.
However, most did not challenge her a second time in the face of Saracrim’s strength, but warriors like Kan’u-san, who took pride in their martial arts, challenged her every day.
And my turn was apparently in the afternoon.
The cooking battles were held in Gi, Go, and Shoku, and the winners of each came to Kanchu to provide lunch on the day preparations were complete… but apparently, no one had satisfied her yet.
And why did I know all this…?
「So, the alliance with Einzheil is grateful for us in Gigoshoku as well, especially regarding logistics, for which we are deeply thankful… Heave-ho. Phew.」
Sitting before me was Ryuubi-san.
Whether unconscious or not, I did not know, but she began to rest by placing her breasts on the desk, so I could not focus on the conversation at all.
If she lifted her breasts with a “heave-ho” and placed them on the desk, wouldn’t anyone look?
Perhaps because the design of her clothes meant she did not wear a bra, if her breasts softened and went ‘funyon’ on the desk as if relaxing, wouldn’t anyone look?
Phew. When she noticed my gaze after seeming relieved, she gave me a gentle smile, but was a gentle smile okay here?
Even though it would not be strange for her to glare and say, “You looked, didn’t you?”, she said, “Please, please,” and there was no need to shake her shoulders!?
Uwah! They were jiggling ‘purupuru pun’!
They were poyopoyo and whowa-whowa!
Even though there should be no sound, I felt like I could hear it. Was that perhaps what was meant by “gospel”?!
Moreover, Kan’u-san was not here!
She was challenging Saracrim and was not present!
Furthermore, Wendy and Shiro had gone to cook and sneak tastes, and Aina and the others were still sleeping, likely because they had trained with Kan’u-san last night!
In other words! There was no one to blame me! Was that okay!?
She continued to emit a dense, sweet peach-like scent, and even if I stared, wondering if the scent came from her cleavage, neither she nor anyone else blamed me!
「Wow… m’lord’s gaze and expression are dangerous. Well, I love m’lord even like that. Of course, since I wish for m’lord’s happiness, I will not tattle.」
And the one staying with me was the understanding Shion.
「Well? I believe I will receive a special reward for being so useful and understanding m’lord’s intentions. Specifically, letting me drink that soup until I am full? Ah, or being made to serve m’lord all day…」
…As expected of Shion.
She was understanding, mercenary, and honest with herself, which was very good.
However, although I intended to make the soup again for Mizera upon returning, I felt that Shiro would sniff it out and drink it before I could get full.
「Ufufu. It seems the Envoy-dono is greatly admired.」
「No, no. Not as much as Ryuubi-sama… Many people in Sho were eagerly awaiting your return.」
「Is that so…? I also wish to meet everyone soon, but I must do something about King Saracrim first…」
That was true…
Even if I succeeded, I could probably only resolve the alliance issue. To solve everything, I would have to defeat Saracrim… but although it sounded heartless, we had no obligation to take such risks.
I was not a hero or a champion of justice, but just an ordinary person.
If it were Hayato, he might defeat Saracrim and save this country, but unfortunately, Shiro and the others were more important to me than a single country.
Challenging an opponent whom many warriors had challenged and lost the will to fight again was a bit…
Well, hearing the story, it seemed Saracrim toyed with her opponents lightly and was not serious, but since we did not know what would happen if she got serious…
「By the way, regarding the spices the Envoy-dono mentioned, they are likely from Gi. Spices that go well with meat and are not in general circulation… I am sure it is those.」
「Ah, you investigated even though I only mentioned it briefly yesterday? Thank you very much.」
I had casually asked when I was shown to my guest room yesterday, so it was helpful to be told so soon.
「No, no. I just had an idea. If you like, I can tell Soso-san for you.」
「No, if you could introduce me, I will speak to him myself…」
I could not ask her to go that far, and an introduction was enough.
「Hmm… It might be difficult for the Envoy-dono… Soso-san is currently challenging Saracrim. He will probably be in a bad mood for a while after…」
「Oh… I see…」
Soso-san… was a martial type.
I had somehow imagined him as a charismatic leader supported by warriors and strategists, but he was a man of war.
「Ah, but then Ryuubi-san would also have a hard time…」
「It is fine. We are good friends. Besides, if he shouted at me or was cold…」
「If he did…?」
Was she super scary when angry?
Was she the type who was usually gentle and soft, indifferent to having her breasts looked at, but exploded when things piled up?
「I would cry.」
「Uwah.」
Wow… she would cry.
In a way, the most troublesome person…
And Shion, since you could hear the “uwah,” please do not voice your thoughts, okay?
「I would cry continuously. I would cry by his side until he apologized. I would push into his sleeping quarters and continue crying. That is why Soso-san and Sonken-san are very kind to me.」
「She is a dangerous person…」
Wow… so troublesome…
In a way, the strongest person…
Moreover, since she said “that is why”, did she not know what she was doing?
I see… There was a proper reason she was at the top, not just virtue.
And Shion? Could you please not say things that would make such a dangerous person cry?
In this case, she would not cry by my side, right?
If it were by Shion’s side… No, it would trouble the roommate.
By the way, what was Kan’u-san doing at that time?
Most likely, maybe, she was behind the crying Ryuubi-san with a demonic expression…
「Ahaha… W-well then, I suppose I will ask you to do it…」
「Yes! I will do my best so that the beef skewer shop, which is the Envoy-dono’s friend, can serve delicious beef skewers again!」
Wow… She was such a good girl, but she would keep crying.
I had to be careful… Careful with every move…
「Sigh… As expected, is it?」
「Oh? Kan’u-san, welcome back. How was it today?」
A voice came from behind, making me jump. When I turned around, there was Kan’u-san, looking thoroughly battered.
Somehow… her appearance was indecent, with parts of her clothes torn, exposing her skin. Although she tried to cover herself with her hands, some parts remained uncovered.
Such Kan’u-san passed by and approached Ryuubi-san, but her back was also… Ah, yes, I was not looking, I was not looking, so please do not startle me with a glance.
Since Shion entered an alert stance, let us avoid unnecessary conflict.
「…As usual. I was toyed with. What an arrogant woman. Well, with that ability, it is understandable… By the way, Ryuubi-san? Did I not tell you? To insist repeatedly that I be present when you meet this man.」
「Yes? What was it again?」
「That I must be present when meeting this man. Did I not say so?」
…Well, she was a VIP, and coming to a foreign man’s room without guards was, well.
Yes. I also thought it was dangerous.
It was probably not because it was me, so Shion, do not nod as if saying “Of course”.
Do not say that I seduce people immediately.
「Yes. You did say so.」
「…Then, why are you in this man’s room?」
「Because I did not understand the reason. Why did it have to be when Kan’u-san was present? I wanted to talk to the Envoy-dono.」
「…Could you not wait a little?」
「I could not wait.」
Wow… The corner of her eye was twitching.
I could clearly see that Kan’u-san was irritated.
「…Please be careful next time, okay?」
Oops, she endured it.
She endured it, Kan’u-san.
That is right. It would be troublesome if she cried.
「No. Talking to the Envoy-dono is fun, so I will visit again even if Kan’u-san is not here.」
…Was this not something that would surely get her scolded?
And was this not a pattern where I could not intervene?
「…!」
As expected!
Even if she glared at me sharply…
「Since Kan’u-san has finished, does that mean I can meet King Saracrim now?」
「No, Soso-dono and Sonken-dono are also fighting today, so it will take some more time. For now, I will change my clothes, but…」
「Yes. I am talking with the Envoy-dono. See you later.」
「…」
Ryuubi-san smiled brightly and waved her hand.
…Should she not have left the room with Kan’u-san and returned?
「Sigh… It cannot be helped.」
Saying that, she passed by me and went out… or so I thought, but for some reason, I heard a sound from behind.
…Um, I heard the sound of cloth sliding down…
「…If you turn around, I will cut you down.」
Ah, yes.
She started changing behind me.
Although I did not think she would actually cut down an envoy, I felt like I might get blown away, so it was fine. I was not stupid, so I would not look!
「Master! Breakfast is ready!」
「Ah, Wendy. I under—ah.」
…I retract my previous statement.
It seemed I was stupid.
Also, Shion. Thank you for protecting me while laughing hysterically.
Although it was just a slap, it could be fatal for someone like me who was not a martial type, so please rest assured that I will make the soup for Shion.
