"Haha, I'm sorry, Takazuki.I got a little upset. "

"It's been a long time, Sakurai-kun. I'm home."

"... even the Goddess of the Sun (Altena) said it was difficult to return to modern times.I'm really, really glad... "

Sakurai-kun's eyes are red.

I thought it would be wild to tear it up.

"Makoto-san... I'm glad. It's good to see you again....."

"Prince Leonard, it's been a long time. I saw it wrong."

I used to look only like a beautiful girl, Prince Leonard.

Having met him for the first time in a year, he grew tall and became a neutral young beauty.

"No, I'm not. But the handling of the Holy Sword has improved! Take a look at it again."

"Yes, please show me."

I've been practicing swords with Leo a lot lately.

"The sword improved thanks to Lyowke."

Apparently they're close.

What kind of idle group is it when two beautiful people line up? I think about it.

"Takatsuki-kun! Welcome back!"

I was slightly hit on the shoulder with bread.

Looking back, a light knight stood.

"Yokoyama-san, long time no see."

Saki Yokoyama, one of Sakurai's many daughter-in-law.

There is an applause for the first beauty in the class.

"Hey, I met Aya!? She cried about Takatsuki-kun every time I met her!"

"I've already met you, yeah. She cried."

"You're right! You can't leave now!"

"Oh, I will."

Yokoyama-san's momentum made me a tajitaji.

Yokoyama-san looks fine.

I say, she smiled happily.

"Fufufu, look at this.Isn't it beautiful? It was bought by Lyowke. "

and a large engagement ring (engagement ring) was shining on the ring finger on the left hand.

I looked a little older than before.

This is the color of my wife...

It looks good on you.

"Thank you, Takatsuki-kun, buy it for Aya too!"

"Uh-huh, I will."

I can't stop talking to Yokoyama.

Saki, Takazuki is just back and tired.

"Yes, I understand, Lyowke."

Sakurai-kun's help ship entered.

Thank goodness.

I wonder where they sell engagement rings anyway.

I don't think there are any armor stores or tool stores.

If you ask Fujiyan, can you get it back?

(You... look for an engagement ring on your own feet.)

The stupid tone resonates in my head.

No? Dear Goddess of Destiny.

(No, you can't, okay? That's because it's a once-in-a-lifetime event (event) for girls....)

Ira-sama gave me a message.

Speaking of which, is the Goddess of Destiny also the Goddess of Love?

When I'm listening to the whisper.

Hey, don't listen to me.

Quittemasyo.

"Oh, isn't that the brave Makoto over there?"

"Hmm... did the brave man in the Land of Water get seriously wounded in battle with the king of the beasts?"

"No, I heard you lost your limbs."

"I heard you've already lost me."

"You look fine anyway."

"Is it someone else's imagination?"

"But I'm sure Sakurai-sama, the brave man of light, is so close..."

Straw and people came together.

Looking at me, who is talking to Sakurai-kun, the "hero of light"?So it seems that it attracted interest.

Regardless, there are rumors of 'limb injury' or 'death'.

It seems that the disappearance of the brave from the front stage calls for many speculations.

Afterwards, the castle was surrounded by many people and attacked by questions.

I was worried about how to answer, and Princess Sofia responded on my behalf.

I didn't like being surrounded by a lot of people, so I saved my life.

I spent about two hours greeting the eminent people of Highland Castle.

That seems to have been the end of it.

It seems that the procedure for the return of the brave men in active service will still take some time.

I am a retired "Honorable Warrior" wounded in battle with the Demon King.

The current Princess Sofia is talking to a prime minister a little further away.

I heard a voice saying, "Noel is too busy to allow me to see her today."

Apparently, I can't see Princess Noel.

Who is in position.

I don't know what to do.

(Princess Noel....)

Sparkling blonde hair and jewel-like blue eyes.

When I remember that face.

- Makoto-san, come with me a little more....

Ah, the face of Anna, who spoke a thousand years ago, came to mind.

As I thought the other day, she was there a thousand years ago.

It's a long time ago.

I was able to reunite with Momo.

But I don't know Anna-san anymore...

It makes me very sad.

No, you have to calm down.

Spike water stop, Spike water stop.

Princess Sofia, who was talking, came back.

Appointment with Princess Noel seems to have been installed.

"Thank you for waiting.Shall we go back to Fujiwara Shokai? "

"Good day, Sofia."

"No big deal."

Smile slightly tired.

I may have felt sorry for myself on my face.

"If you care about me, please fill it up."

I was whispered in my ear so no one could hear me.

Even the carriage on the way home was sweetened plenty.



After returning to the Fujiwara Chamber of Commerce, Princess Sofia said she had some business to attend to.

I guess you're really a hardworker.

They'll be back by the celebration.

"Hey, Makoto, let's go see Huli!"

"That's right, Fu-chan really wanted to see Takazuki!"

The best thing to say to me when I get back is from Lucy and Sa.

All right, let's go.

I still have time because my homecoming celebration (party) will be held at night.

Above all, I'd like to say hello to Friae.

I was worried before I left for the past.

"Now, hold my hand."

Lucy gives me her right hand.

Yeah?

Grab the hand without knowing.

Sa-san is holding Lucy's opposite hand as she gets used to it.

"Hey, space transition (telereport)"

Huh?

The vision in front of my eyes became blurred and pure white.

At the next moment, there was a beautiful city stretching out in front of me.

"Lucy...."

"Ehehe, the spatial transition (teleport) is working, isn't it?"

I honestly think it's amazing.

I was moved to observe the surrounding scenery.

It's a group of buildings that I don't recognize in the King's City of the Sun (Highland).

And all the people on the road are wearing robes.

Is it a city full of wizards?

"Where are we?"

"Nine districts."

Lucy answered my question.

"Ninth Quarter... huh? Is this the favela?"

It's completely different from when I saw it before.

A city where criminals, Mafias, and Demons lived.

It was a run-down building like a slum.

There's nowhere to see the vagrants lying on the street.

"It's amazing, because it changes so much in just one year."

"Fu-chan tried so hard to make it easier for the Magus to live in the 9th arrondissement."

Hee ~

I look out at Kyrokyoro and the new 9th arrondissement.

Mr. Friae...

The boulder is the witch of the moon... no, now she's a saint.

I'm just curious about one thing.

"Hey, Lucy, why is the princess in the Land of the Sun (Highland) instead of the Land of the Moon (Raphylog)?"

I thought I was trying to rebuild my country locally.

"Well, that's..."

When Lucy tried to tell me something.

"Oh, it's Lucy!"

Aya-chan!

Guren's fangs, huh!

Who are you with?

You've got your stuff.

Hiccup, I don't think I can hold anything.

The children gathered at Lucy and Sa's place.

And I can be disguised naturally.

"Hey, don't tell me you don't have my boyfriend's stuff?"

"Takazuki is my husband."

They defended me.

They say, "Huh?"".

"Lucy and Aya's men are amazing, right?"

I heard you're a strong brave man.

"This guy has no magic at all."

Are you really strong ~?

I was turned to suspicion.

"Mm, Makoto, let me show you the truth."

"Takatsuki-kun, use your usual water magic.Super flashy! "

Lucy and Sa are stirring it up.

But....

"If you use spiritual magic in a city like this, it's going to be a big deal."

Okay, what's going on?

Hmm, if you're worried.

"My king, are you in trouble?"

Zushin, the sky is filled with intense magic.

It's like being thrown into the water when you're in the city.

The children of the Wizard clan slapped their mouths shut and turned to us with a faint expression from the people on the road.

And Lucy and Sa-san are looking real.

One of the children opened his mouth as if he had done it.

"Nh, Nh-chan... who is this woman...?"

The Great Spirit of Water.

!?

The faces of the children look like pigeons with bean cannons.

Cute.

"Fufufu, I'll listen to anything my king says.If you want, you can sink this city to the bottom of the water in a few minutes.Have you understood the beauty of my king? "

The tone of the Great Spirit of Water (Dear) is gentle, but the children are exposed to the ridiculous magic of the Great Spirit of Water (Undine) and even forget to breathe.

And don't make any noise.

The children are blue.

Dear, hold down the magic.

"Yes, my king."

In my words, the Great Spirit of Water slowly diminished its magic.

At last, the children were freed from tension and their expressions were relieved.

Wow, nii-chan

Lucy and Aya-chan's friends are different after all.

"Hey, why is your skin blue?"

"How did you make the Great Spirit your ally!?"

As a result, I was attacked with questions.

Did you manage to keep Lucy and Sa looking good?

"... hey, Makoto?"

Taka-tuki-kun?

Hmm?

I have a chilly feeling.

"What's going on? Looking back,

"Who is she?"

Lucy and Sa's voice rang.

Huh? Didn't they meet Dear...?

"She was one of the great spirits of water (Undine) a thousand years ago...."

"Makoto is making women again!"

"Takazuki's Baker!!!"

"Hey, no."

"My king, it's not hard for me to wait, but please don't worry about calling me...."

Deer hugs you without reading the air or intentionally.

No, you came out on your own.

I took a lot of time to explain to Lucy and Sa.



Proceeding through the Ninth Quarter, we came in front of a large mansion.

The Mansion is said to be the embassy of the Moon Land (Raphylog).

It seems that Friae is staying here.

"Oh, Lucy, Aya! Welcome!"

The Gatekeeper's Magus tribe peeled at Lucy and Sa's appearance.

He looks familiar.

"Hello."

I'm here to see Fu-chan ~

"Go ahead... oh, where's your man?"

Lucy and Sa seem to have a face pass, but the stranger didn't go the same way.

"Makoto, the national champion of the Land of Water."

It's Takazuki, Fu-chan's guardian knight.

"!? You!!"

My name changed the look on the doorman's face.

"Please wait! I'll call my superiors!"

It quickly disappeared into the building.

There are two gatekeepers, and the other one looks at me with interest.

"Anything?"

I felt like I was talking to you, so I talked to you.

"Excuse me!... I didn't think I'd be able to meet the real Takatsuki-sama."

Tell me the real thing.

It seems to have a rather overrated impression.

"Who told you about me?"

I knew that Lucy Kasa was exaggerating.

"Of course it is for Her Majesty the King!"

Hmm?

The words stop thinking for a moment.

Queen of the moon kingdom.

The face of a wicked witch a thousand years ago came to mind.

But that's impossible.

This is a thousand years from now.

There is no royalty in the land of the moon.

It didn't exist as a country in the first place.

Leading it, that is.

Ah, they found out.

"I thought I'd surprise you when I met you."

From Lucy and Sa's mouth, a hypothesis emerged.

Maybe Friae is now queen of the moon land?

"Surprised?"

"Fu-chan is the king of the moon kingdom!"

"Ooh...."

I was surprised.

I see.

Friae-san is the queen...

Something doesn't suit you.

"But can I see the queen without an appointment?And how to say hello.... "

"What are you talking about? You're with the same party."

"Fu-chan doesn't care about details."

Lucy and Sa laughed at my concern.

That's true, too.

First, report back and let Friae know what's going on.

--A few minutes later.

A man dressed in high profile came with escorts on both sides and quick feet.

I can't see Mr. Friae.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. The Honorable Warrior of the Land of Water, Takatsuki Makoto."

Hard tone and sharp gaze.

It was an unfriendly attitude.

"Long time no see, Havel. How's Huli?"

Havel, is Fu-chan away?

Lucy and Sa are talking to Frank about whether they know each other or not.

Havel....

The name sounded familiar.

I think he was one of Friae's friends who met him in the ruins of the moon.

However, the clothes were completely different from those at that time, and the impression I received was completely different.

"Lucy, Aya. We are out of time.Thank you for your time today. "

The tone is soft for both of us.

It doesn't look like an act, but rather a genuine tribute to Lucy and Sa.

Therefore, my attitude towards me was blatant.

My eyes are as cold as ever.

"Are you the Honorable Brave of the Land of Water?"

You should have met me once, but you don't remember me.

Lucy and Sa look suspicious.

It seems strange that I'm the only one with a different attitude.

I'm also wondering.

Yes, this is Takatsuki Makoto.

What can I do for you?

"Princess... I'm here to see Friae instead."

When I told him what I wanted, he had wrinkles engraved on his eyebrows.

"Please refrain from calling Her Majesty the Queen that.What is the purpose of the meeting? "

Asked secretly everywhere.

The purpose of the meeting.

It's hard to explain.

Only a few people know that I was ordained to go a thousand years ago.

It's possible that he hasn't heard from Friae.

"Actually, I've been traveling on a dangerous myth for a while, but I came back safely to contact you."

I'm sure it's not wrong.

"Very well, I will inform His Majesty Friae that you have returned safely.If that's all, please pick it up. "

The answer was no interview.

Apparently, he doesn't want me to meet Mr. Friae.

"... I'd like to meet and talk to you in person?"

"Friae-sama is busy. I don't have time to spare."

The conversation is parallel.

Lucy and Yasa also joined the conversation and explained the situation.

I tried to stick with it for a while, but eventually we didn't get into the embassy and we were about to retreat.



"What the hell! That man!"

"That was weird today, Havel! Ru-chan!"

"You're always staring at us!"

"I saved you from being attacked by dragons in the land of the moon!"

"I appreciate him crying when I help his buddies get eaten by chimeras!"

"You're ungrateful, Ru-chan!"

"Aya! I won't take any more of his orders!"

"Yeah! I agree. I won't take it anymore!"

Lucy and Sa are as angry as the fire.

That made me angry.

By the way, he - Havel - holds a high position in the land of the new moon.

But Lucy and Sa, the higher-ranking adventurers who helped rebuild the moon, couldn't get their heads up.

That's why today's attitude seems strange.

"Hmm, well, that's fine. Makoto, it's our next move!"

Well, honestly, if you just meet Fu-chan, you can always do it.

Lucy and Sa did everything they wanted to say, or the anger mode weakened.

What do you mean?

When I ask, Lucy and Sa-san's face turns into a mess.

"When it's time, use the Teleport to break into her room!"

"Yoo-hoo! Ru-chan, that's cool!"

Lucy's face was stirring up.

……

Are you all right?

Lucy's thinking circuit looks just like Rosalee's.

And Sa-san doesn't seem to be Lucy's stopper.

They're both cool.

(But, well, let's see.)

Sure, if we just meet Friae, we'll figure it out.
