253 234 Did you stroke with one hand?

"--Oh, seven! You did it really well! You seem to be dreaming of being a general at once!"

After the audience, I took Olympia and visited Wright's room.

A few minutes later, a lightly excited light opened the door and hugged me with a full smile.

"Ah!"

A few seconds later, she felt she was too loud, and finally realized that Olympia was behind me, and Light flew away from me.

"That's not. I just wanted to trouble Seven. Don't get me wrong."

Clearly a lie.

"Meeting with the Minister of Justice is about an hour and a half later. Fifteen minutes before, we will pick you up."

"all right"

Olympia read the air, listened to me and saluted away.

"... Seven, come here. I have tea and sweets."

"Oh? Oh!"

The restored light guides me to the terrace. Huh, the prince will guide you directly.

Looking at the quietly closed door, a maid was once fired. She isn't skipping the job of guiding, and she's ignoring Wright's will. As expected, there are only top-class maids working at Imperial Castle.

"Tea is one of the finest in the imperial city of Malmera, which I chose. For the confectionery, the castle craftsman had a specialty available."

"Hmm. I don't know, but it looks terrible."

"Hello"

When I uttered the vague impression, Wright sighed like "Yeah!"

"Seven, I'm ashamed if I don't study now. Will you have the opportunity to eat this in diplomacy? You're already a general, so be aware of it."

"! Is that so? Thank you"

The light was a light and seemed to think about me.

That light acted for others.

I was somewhat glad and conveyed my gratitude.

“…………”

"...?"

About a minute about the seat.

On the table, tea poured by a maid and a fruit cake that looks insanely delicious are placed on a three-story plate-like dish.

As a courtesy, I thought I'd wait until the light started to eat, but for some reason the light didn't start eating at all.

The light is just staring at me with both cheek sticks on both hands.

"Hey, don't you eat?"

"e……?"

When I hear that, Wright shows a surprised face as if he noticed it for the first time.

"Oh, oh, you can eat first. Why are you unusually courteous to me? Did you become aware as a general?"

"That's not the case ... Okay, I'll do it."

For the time being, sip a cup of tea.

"Oh, delicious"

"For real!?"

"Well, what do you do to lie?"

"That's right."

The tea was good enough for a good drink at the first test.

Wright is glad to be relieved for some reason.

"The cake is also delicious. What cake is this?"

"It's a seasonal fruit tart."

Somewhat less responsive than tea.

Seeing that I started eating, I started eating light too.

Is it time to be blissful? You can see how you look at it. I guess he likes tea and sweets.

"Ufufu"

Glanced behind the lights, there was a smiling maid.

With that slightly annoying smile, I understand everything.

This tea and light were put in.

“…………”

Calm down.

There's a sound of tableware between us for a while, but it's not a silly silence.

In the late afternoon of warm late summer, hot tea is also good. Thanks to it, the wind feels cool.

「――Oh, Seven」

Wright was talking, saying that he was dim without any pattern.

"Hmm?"

While returning, notice. That the quiet atmosphere he wears is similar to that night.

"You're always dignified. I'm not even ready for Cigarone or my father."

"Really?"

"Yes, it's the opposite of me ..."

Light looked down a little and looked seriously at my eyes.

"Seven. How can I be like you? How can I avoid being angry? Good……?"

What is consultation part 2?

There must have been something. Otherwise, he isn't really serious about consulting others.

... I am. Did Wright finally have to decide to "face his father" since I became a general?

“…………”

A place where people usually say "don't know" or "think for yourself".

Or run away because you have something to do.

Sometimes they talk something like that and make the tea cloudy.

But ... this tea does not want to be cloudy. I seemed asexual.

"Where-

"?"

Other than Mevion, he has not lived a life that could advise others.

However, even though I was so sloppy, he still admired Wright while saying something.

I'm deceiving such a cute little brother. Seven and the like are not really anywhere.

I just want to leave something for this guy. Even if you cheat, at least for the tea.

It was a relationship that was supposed to be tricked and ended up, but because of the tea he put in, I was beginning to feel like that.

"Where do we live?"

"live?"

Inferiority and loneliness.

Wright wouldn't think I've ever felt them.

No such thing. Before coming to this world, I felt everyday.

Anxiety about the future is natural. I probably felt inferior to those who could live normally in society. The moment you return from Mevion to a room in your apartment, you'll often want to die. And suddenly, when I wondered how old I could be to keep the number one in the world, and thought that I was going to be old and dead as it was, I would be lonely.

Everyone would be like that.

And still, everyone is working hard.

I have lived with a laugh. In my long youth, I can say with confidence that it was fun.

Because.

"Anything is fine. Anything you think is fun. It's fun for you to be entertained, you're happy to be close to yourself, or you're happy to help others. If I like things, if I have a relationship with others, and if I can find a place for my heart that can make me smile naturally ... Well, I can do my best surprisingly. "

I had a mevion.

It was fun and fun.

If possible, I want you to find it.

I lived in Mevion.

Where do you live?

"If I find such a thing, can I be like seven ...?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Now, don't laugh!"

"It's a different story from this."

"It may be so."

"But I don't think I'm going to get too sick. Even if my father or older sister despised me, that's why I have this!"

"!"

If you are enthusiastic about something you don't like, you can forget it.

If you live in a fun situation, you will have the power to blow off unpleasant things.

I've been living that way all the time, so I can only give you such rough advice.

But this can only be said with certainty.

Something that will save you is surely hiding somewhere in this world.

"... but I'm a prince"

Isn't that a simple problem, right?

However, I'm sorry.

"I'm relieved. I can't say that soon."

"What……?"

Half a month later, there is no guarantee that the empire is still here.

Even me, I don't know what will happen.

Tohachi no Kuni Do you follow the fate of the past, or ...?

"Well, I don't care too much. I'll be slow. I'll find it fun and I'll grow up."

"Wow, ah! Hey, stop!"

Can we really destroy the empire?

As I misunderstood the question I suddenly noticed, I grabbed Wright's head with one hand from above and stroked it around.

Wright says he doesn't like it in his mouth, but he doesn't seem to resist.

I felt like this while feeling the small head feeling. If I had a younger brother, I wonder if it was like this ...

No, no. Anyway, it's me, it's decided every day.

"Don't be silly, your hair is ragged. Don't treat the prince's head like a ball."

"It's wild and nice."

"That's not the problem!"

So, suppose the empire collapses into tiny pieces of dust, what can I do with this saucy younger brother? I don't know it well.

Perhaps it will end without breaking at all. If that's okay, some of you are a little relieved.

Everything is known only to military personnel.

Well, it will be.

This is a game using an empire, and for me it's a vacation.

* * *

"--I may be the limit already"

"Yes, I don't even know everyone."

The corner of the entrance hall in the Imperial Castle.

This time, the maids should have been cleaning up. A few of them, with their cleaning equipment, gathered and talked in a whisper.

"I can't help it anymore! That Highness puts tea into Seven-sama ...

"Calm down, and talk about everything that happened.

At the center is a maid with a prince who served Seven and Wright until earlier.

The rest of the maids are listening to her with a serious expression to avoid hearing her story.

"I was nervous and nervous, coming and going around the living room and terrace until Seven came, and when Olympia hit the door three times, the Highness told me to wait for a while. I started rushing tea. ''

"Your Highness was going to start brewing tea after Seven came."

"That's right. I'm thinking of making it the best. Until then, I've been asking me how to make tea, and when it's time for it, I'm already at my best."

"So what happened when I finished brewing tea?"

"Huh, uh ..."

The maid with the prince smiled gruntly and opened his mouth with an ecstatic look.

"Well done, it's like a dream, with a big smile and praising Seven-sama, and into his chest, like this, bohu ..."

"!?"

"I'm hugging! And then! Seven was embarrassed and gently turned back!"

"!?!?"

"The Imperial Highness, who had forgotten Olympia, left in a hurry. Seven was cool, smiling, and Olympia was losing. She approached her beautiful face, narrowed her eyes and whispered, whispering. In my view, Olympia-sama was a little sullen! "

"That's a fever!"

"So you're saying that!"

Their stories swell, shouting in a whisper, but shouting too much.

"When I heard that Olympia was close to Seven's, I was gut posing if I noticed."

"Olympia is a noble man who has a honor, and when I heard that he was an aides, I thought at first what he would do ... I felt so good that I was convinced I wasn't there. ''

"Seven-sama is amazing because anyone can draw with him. Especially the beautiful combination with Olympia has the highest picture."

"I have to agree so much.

Olympia seems to have been popular among maids because of her good looks.

Seven and Olympia were very hot now among them. The news that Olympia was close to Seven at that time came in, so we decided to heat up further.

Moreover, in addition to the so-called favorite, Wright, and even Nato, who is said to be the opponent, it could be said that the burning feast was no longer held.

Therefore, they do not notice. That a man is visiting the entrance where the murky voice resounds.

"--A party with a broom? Good status."

"Hit ...!?"

"I'm sorry!"

A middle-aged man with a muscular, fat body, about 160 centimeters tall, and a constantly angry face and receding hairline-Minister of State Cigarone Elebni. It is number 2 of the Marvel Empire.

Nevertheless, he was passing the entrance quickly, turning his cloak without any escort.

He is the busiest man in the empire. The previous job was a bit long, and talks with Seven were coming soon, and there was no time to waste every minute.

However, due to his personality, no matter how fast he is, he cannot overlook anyone who is unfaithful at work.

"The cleaning of the entrance is carried around by five maids, and the time required is 30 minutes. This is the number of people and the time calculated so that even the collection of feces can be thoroughly cleaned every corner. How long is the rest, and will it be possible to clean this wide entrance with five people in that short amount of time?

"I'm sorry-"

"No. You are telling me to answer my question. Answer yes or no."

"... I'll be sloppy."

"If you understand, answer that from the beginning. You're wasting 40 seconds because of you."

Cigarone quickly rolled up, glanced at the faces of the five of them, and turned away as he was running out of time.

"Leave this fifteen minutes unpaid. The next time I see it, I'm fired. I'm going to work hard so I can't even hold that broom."

The maids bow deeply and wait for Cigarone to disappear.

"If you have time to lower your head, do your job! I'm most concerned about that kind of attitude!"

Cigarone saw them reflected in a beautifully polished vase, yelled at him without looking back, and left the entrance.

Maids whose shoulders jump out loudly.

A few seconds later, there was a whitish atmosphere like "Oh oh."

"... I still hate it."

"Well, we're bad, but there's a word or two, Minister of Justice."

"There seems to be no day without sarcastic speech."

The maids all complain about cigarone.

"But ... you're competent, scary"

"Maybe we remember our faces and names without having to look them up."

"In fact, I think you've cut your salary this month by 15 minutes."

But no matter how uncomfortable they were, they knew the power of cigarone. That's why in the future, I can change my consciousness while complaining somehow to stop chatting after cleaning.

The scary thing about Cigarone is that he seems to be aiming for that discomfort. Without that kind of blasphemy, the 15-minute unpaid penalty, and the last scream, they might not have been rehabilitated. Even those girls who seemed to do so well expressed the ability of a man named Cigarone.

"Seven-sir, I hope I can't be bullied by the Prime Minister ..."

"Makes you worry, right……"

Many know that Cigarone relies on Seven.

Seven, who had completely become the idols of the maids, were worried by them that they would be used up by Cigarone.

“…………”

After a moment of silence, each returns to cleaning.

One maid opened her mouth with a very serious expression.

"... Shiga x Cebu ... Well, not that bad ...?"

"!"

Other maids who heard it screamed "Ho". She was convinced that she knew her taste that even the cigarone could feed on her greed, and that she could only reclaim the niche genre of attacking fathers day and night.

It was a bit of a radical opinion, but it was well worth brushing up.

Depressed, they breathe back little by little.

Then, the maid with the prince grinned in a grin so that he could follow the trend.

"In fact, after that ... it was also stroked."

"Foo !?"

"Which is which?"

"With one hand, like this, go round"

"What's the best !?"

Yes, that story was still on the way.

They are busy and move their hands for cleaning, but are convinced with the excitement.

It's a banquet tonight.
