Aura's voice echoed the mansion the morning she left Wang Capital. When I told Jeanne and Aura that it was only me and Grandpa who were leaving Wang Capital and that I would be entrusted with the management of the mansion in Wang Capital, it became this noise from the morning onwards. Well, I guess more than half of what Aura doesn't like so far is because the person responsible for it (the main deputy) is Aina.
"You have no choice...... heh!
"Ugh..."
Aina, who piqued her temples, quieted Aura by strangling her clinging to the railing of the stairs.
"Dear Tenma, I think His Majesty will be here soon. The boulder is too prominent at the entrance to the King's capital, and it won't be very prominent here."
Aina had tied the fallen Aura's hands and feet and awakened her alive with a monkey claw. For some time after her consciousness had returned, Aura seemed to have no idea what had happened, but she seemed to remember what had happened the moment she saw Aina's face, desperately trying to escape the scene but unable to do so on the boulder, and had been caught by Aina before she had even gone a metre.
"Aura, this is for you. While Tenma was away from the King's Capital, I couldn't... but when I raised you to be a maid in public, I made a promise to Her Majesty, Maria, and Tenma... and if not, worst of all, I and you would be condemned to death for treason against the state. There's only one way to avoid it, you'll be the maid of honor!
Aina glanced at Aura's face, half confused, with both hands, and began to say something messed up at close range. If this had been normal, you would have realized that any amount of Aura was a lie, but on top of the confusion, Eina's famous act seemed to mistake her for being in a critical situation.
"Uh-huh."
"You figured it out. Glad to hear it."
Aina had a tender smile that she wouldn't normally show, stroking Aura's head against Aura, who turned red in a state of semi-crying. Looks like the brainwash is complete.
"Hmm? Your Majesty is here."
When Aina shrugged, there was a slight delay and the gate opened, and a carriage came and stopped in front of the front door. As soon as the carriage stopped, the front door opened and Luna jumped in first.
"Brother! What about Solomon? Solomo ~ ~ N!
"Cuh!"
Luna searched for Solomon when she came in, and stormed off. But Solomon seemed surprised by Luna and fled through the window on the verge of being caught.
"Solomon, wait, whoops!
When Luna followed Solomon and tried to jump out the window, she was suspended by Eina.
"Master Luna, it's impossible to walk out the window on a boulder."
Aina wasn't the back collar, she grabbed the back area so it didn't hang, but still seemed to have quite a shock, and Luna was coughing up painfully. And Luna was carried to Maria like a kitten carried to her cat's parents.
"Dear Eina, Good luck. Isabella, please."
"Yes, mother-in-law"
Luna gets angry as usual. This sight, too, is not emotional when you think you won't be able to see it for a while... when you think calmly.
"Well, leave that (...)... Tenma, take it!
After looking sideways at Luna (and Isabella, who is preaching), the king gave me the little box he took out of his nostalgia. Upon checking the contents on the spot, the family crest of the Ootri family, made of palm-sized orihalcon, was housed there. Naturally, it's the one with the Namita Row.
"Behind it is engraved a sentence guaranteeing the Ootri family, along with my name and the royal family crest. If you show it to me, nobles won't be bothered by the temper unless there's more to it."
There is no political power in the Ootri family itself, but thanks to this one sentence, it is like being empowered there by the royal family. This means that we have obtained the Imperial Cage of Master Petite Yellow Gate... some people also call it the 'Fox Who Borrows the Power of the Tiger'...
"Thank you. Let me use it effectively, but I swear to my Heavenly Father and Mother (...) that I will never only abuse it"
The kings decided to swear to their father and mother that I and the king cherished together, especially since they said there was no God of faith.
The king and grandfather who heard my words broke his face and Maria was snorting a little tearful.
I spoke to Maria after talking to the king, and then said goodbye to Caesar and the others. Caesar and Isabella thanked the children (especially Luna) for taking care of them, and Zain was again thanked for the treatment of Misaria. By the way, Master Mizaria hasn't come here. She wanted to come in person, but she left a message at Maria's discretion because the carriage seemed to travel hard and she soon fell ill. Master Lyle and Ernest told me that they would take me to a good store next time I came to Wang Capital, but that statement sounded Maria, and that a good store (...) had been mistaken for a so-called 'adult store', which was pursued fairly persistently. By the way, what Lyle and the others call a good restaurant (...) is a restaurant that serves good food and booze.
Later, I talked to Tida and Luna, but Luna felt like she wasn't here half the time. So when I called Solomon, he ran toward Solomon, thanking him.
"Excuse me, Mr. Tenma..."
Tida had seen her own sister's behavior and seemed really sorry. The kings, who were talking to Grandpa, were sighing to see how Luna was doing, and even to Maria and Isabella, they were discussing it with some serious expression. Maybe even at a future meeting of Luna's education policy. It should be noted that Luna was about to get away with Solomon once again, but had succeeded in touching her with a secret weapon (snack) … besides.
We move outside at the end of the whole conversation to talk to the standby Kingsguard face. Mr. Din tries to extremely articulate the moment he shakes his hand, and Mr. Jean says, "Next time I come, I'll invite you home. However, don't get your hands on my daughter (six years old)," he says seriously, "Chris is muttering about" the problem is the difference in age... "after talking, and I can't keep talking because I didn't have much contact with Mr. Sigurd. The only person who could talk properly was Mr. Edgar.
The kings remained in the mansion until time was critical and exchanged farewell greetings again before returning to the royal castle. After this, my grandfather and I are headed to the entrance to the Wang Capital. I plan to rendezvous with the Jins "Dawn Sword" there.
I checked my room to see if I'd forgotten anything before heading to the backyard to see how the Juubeys were doing. You can't take three heads to a boulder, because the Juubeys are on the answering machine, too. The people of Kukri Village, mainly Aunt Martha, are supposed to take care of Jubeye and the others. I have asked Aina, Jeanne and Aura to do the same, but the three of them have other things to do, so I plan to do the aunts' assistance.
The three heads ate grass at the cowshed as usual, but Tama looked at me and hit me. This isn't because they don't like it, it sounds like your balls are expressing their affection... but it's only coming to me...
Tama has slipped her head away after a few touches around her body, as usual. By the time I finished checking my bait box and water bucket while stroking my balls, my grandfather called me when I was ready.
Turning to those who spoke, besides Grandpa, there were Jeanne, Aura, Aina, and even Tida, Luna and Chris, who thought they had returned.
I knew Jeanne and the others were coming to the entrance to my grandfather Wang Capital, but Tida and the others said they weren't coming to the entrance.
When she asked Tida why she was dropping me off, she told Maria just before she left. I hear Mr. Chris and Mr. Edgar are two escorts. Probably includes an appeal that me and Tida are good friends, but then I wanted you to do enough to say so beforehand. Well, I couldn't help being stupid, and I didn't care much about it, so I kept my mouth shut.
In the meantime, we all decided to get in my carriage and move. It was that it would be more efficient to travel in one carriage and easy to escort, but the two suggested (Luna and Chris) each look satisfied. In contrast, it was Shiloumal and Solomon with a bewildered look on their face. The two are currently being held tight, so they cannot move. There was no one to stop the two because the usual scratchy role of Tida was given up face and Mr. Edgar was traveling on horseback outside. By the way, I'm going to stink when I stop here, so I dared to pretend not to look.
When we got to the rendezvous point, there was a little crowd there. The vast majority of them are from the village of Kukri, and later the royalty, including the Dukes of Sanga and Sammons, known to Viscount Mustang and neutral nobles during the coup d 'état. Everyone said the royalty was coming to the mansion, so they came to this one. He joined the royal family on the boulder and decided it was impossible to talk to us.
We got off the carriage and started talking to everyone, but as soon as we got off, we started to feel a sharp gaze from behind. That was the same for my grandfathers, but they all ignored it. Our attitude seems to have made the Lord of our gaze numb.
"Hey, it's time for you to help me, huh?
I've talked to him. The Lord of the Voice was Namitaloh, who, like before, was forming on the roof of the carriage, with his body dry and stuck to the roof. As a matter of fact, the kings were stuck to the roof before they arrived, so they've been in that state for hours.
"... Waterball"
When I lowered them all down and then put three shots on Namitaro, Namitaro, who regained moisture, slipped off the roof on his own. Namitaro had moved his body to stretch, and had joined the circle of conversations as if nothing had happened.
Namitaro's upcoming plans are to travel with us all the way and split in the river along the way. And he said he was going down the river, out into the sea, and then he was going to meet someone he knew.
Jin and the others didn't seem to be here yet, and the talk of breaking up with everyone for a while went on. Among the villagers, Aunt Martha and several others said they wanted to follow, but they were being mocked by Uncle Mark and the others. I can't abandon my current life to a boulder, and everyone convinced me that my uncle would get in my way. However, once every few months I was made to promise to write to me the status quo and whereabouts and drop by.
And nobles... well, mainly about Albert, Lion and Cain, these three are willing to come and visit Seigen. Though for once, they haven't all three of them working in earnest yet, so they have a lot of time compared to other faces. Viscount Mustang seemed to fit in with his grandfather and he talked quite a bit after his conversation with me, but ended up normally greeting other neutral nobles. Thankfully, the neutral nobles here seem to care about Jeanne and Aura who remain in the King's capital.
The Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons are talking to their grandfathers. I'm looking at this one sometimes, so maybe I'm up to something.
I spend my time that way, but the dawn sword still hasn't shown itself. One carriage finally arrived where it was time to go past the promised time. It's the dawn sword... for some reason there are two more...
"Sorry, sounds like you kept me waiting... complain to those guys"
Blanca and Amur are the ones Jin pointed to. Blanca looked sorry and caught Amur trying to jump off the carriage and jump on me. Amur, who hangs around the universe, has his hands and feet flattened.
In the meantime, I asked Jin to explain. According to that, Amur caught me just before I left the inn and it will continue to this day. Apparently, Amur was keeping an eye on the jinns that seemed easier to persuade than I was, and had been ambushing the inn since yesterday. He said it was a "dodgy success".
I also checked with Blanca, but she said that it was not a big deal because it was time to go home, and even if I stopped by Seigen, it would suit me in the right direction. Ning Lo, if you go home without stopping at Seigen here, it is more likely that Amur will be gone at some point on the way home, so that is the problem. In Seigen, they plan to stay around ten days.
It's been a long time, but the time to leave is approaching. I hadn't stayed in Wang capital for three months, but it was probably the darkest time of my life. Meet the Kings, the people of Kukri Village, and Grandpa, the royal people, the Albert and the Trail Trio, Blanca and Amur. Besides, I also knew a trustworthy nobleman of the neutrals.
I miss splitting up with those people, but it's not a lifetime goodbye so I'll be able to see them again sooner or later.
"Then Tenma, it's time to go"
To Jin's words I ride my carriage and hold the reins of Tanikaze. Grandpa sat next to me and nodded that he could go anytime. That's the same with the Jins, who got in the carriage and waited to leave.
"Everybody! I'll be back!
The carriage began to move to signal the words, and a distance began to form between them and everyone.
Every face you can see from the carriage is smiling and they're all waving at us. This is the second time I've been dropped off like this, but I still miss goodbye. Well, not long enough to come if you want to, but maybe it's because I remembered my childhood when I reunited with the people of Kukri Village.
Hitting such a sentiment made the back noisy. Looking back at what happened...
"Ya, I knew you wouldn't leave me! Your sister doesn't! Ugh..."
Looks like Aura's brainwash is unraveled. I am desperate to chase the carriage, but Aina and Jeanne have caught me at about 10m. And it had been tightened down again.
When Aina noticed my gaze, she turned this way and carried Aura around like she was carrying her luggage on her shoulder. Jeanne walking next door looks very shy.
Seems like we're breaking up or something... don't get tight when Aura gets involved... next time I see her, I want her to grow a little bit more.
Sadly, that became my last impression in the Wang capital...
