I asked Lord Baldell all about Meiri.

"That child is the princess of the Principality of Badenhark. … As you know, the country was destroyed by the Demon King's Army and now it is the country that has died, but the area is about to be rebuilt somehow"

The Principality of Badenhark is one of nine countries in the world.

Now, besides the Principality of Badenhark, one country has died and become seven.

"The girl you call Meili is called Alias...... Princess Alias Badenhaak. When the country was attacked and destroyed, it seemed to have managed to escape, but the slave trader said that when he found it, he was alone..."

Slave traders may have been fortunate in their misfortune to find them.

If it's in their hands, there's nothing like dying.

And he said Mairi was sold to Lord Bardell.

"I found out that kid was a princess because he had a little brooch with a royal crest engraved on it. When the slave trader found him, he seemed to have forgotten who he was already... something spectacular must have happened... He brought her to me without war because he was just as pitiful as a slave trader..."

As such, Mairi was to spend her days as a slave to Sir Baldell.

Sir Baldell said he was looking forward to using Mairi someday for his birthday ambitions.

He said he pointed the assassin at him to bring Meili back.

He was a crisp ambitious man.

That night.

After Meili slept in bed, she told Lila about it while she was in the living room addicted to wine.

The demon king's army lay low and told him that Meili's amnesia and being a royal princess of another kingdom.

Lyla, sitting next to the couch, was wrapping her arms around me the whole time she was listening.

"What do you think?

"Uhm... if anyone is separated and still waiting for the missing Meili..."

"Maybe if you look into it, you'll find out"

"You know what I mean?

"Contact King Randolph, or -"

"... is"

We had the same opinions, and we cemented our feelings.

But Lyla and I, we figured out Meili's identity, but we couldn't be happy to let go.

Lyla keeps her head on my shoulder.

I held hands and tangled my fingers silently.

Ugh, what is this feeling that makes me sad in my chest?

When I stroke my hair, it smells like lila.

Staring at each other, he saw my face in his red eyes.

When Lyla lays down her eye lid, she understands very well that her eyelashes are long.

Lila was just like me, and she seemed to remember the sadness of being unidentified.

◆ Meili

When would it have been?

Meili was remembering.

Who I am and why I'm here...

I don't know if it was before I slept at night, or during my special training with Loran, or when I was playing with Lyla, but anyway, I remembered.

My sweet father, my beautiful mother, my brother and my sister, my brother - my life in the castle was free of any incompetence.

Such warm memories.

But they're all dead.

Maybe he's surviving somehow, but that's what happened in Meili's memory.

Unbearable, frozen and sealed memory.

But it was the warmth of the two of us that thawed it again.

At night, go to Loran's room and sneak dive into the same bed.

"What's up?"

Just a scream, and Loran wakes up.

But I know I'll never tell you to get out of bed.

"I don't care."

Momoko, and like a kitten seeking warmth, Meili fit softly in Loran's chest.

I was stroked in the head.

Meili, wanting to be sweet, hugs Loran all the time.

"Ohon. Ro, Loran......? Oh, I'm taking a bath... now you're keeping me waiting...?

When he spoke and put his face out of the blanket, Lyla came wrapping only one towel around his body.

"Lyla, if you don't get your pajamas right, you're gonna catch a cold"

"FUCK!? Me, Meili!? Why are you in this guy's bed...!

Gugu, and Lila roaring came to the same bed, dropping a towel and wearing only pants.

Meili took the form of being pinched by the two of us.

"Lyla, she's got boobs"

"Fine. I don't care if it's in bed"

"Loran, are you going somewhere?

"Oh. About two days, vacating the house"

"Where are you going?

"... work"

"Meili is a concubine and a voicemail"

If you're bored, you just have to take some quest at the guild, Loran told me.

Meili, saddened without meaning, hugs Loran again.

From behind, Lyla hugged Loran and Meili was pinched by the two of them.

It was painful, but not unpleasant. It was painful.

"Warm"

"It is."

I can't breathe.

The morning after that.

When Meili woke up, Loran was going to work and he was invisible.

◆ Loran

"Hey, King Randolph. Get up. Hey."

Slap the snoring king's cheek, pepper, pepper.

"Ngu?......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... So, if you think it's someone, Lorraine..."

The king's private room.

The time is late at night.

I thought that even if I offered to see him during the day, he would pay up front at the gate anyway, and he came for this time, which he would certainly be there.

"Surprised...... Hey, what can I do for you...!? No way, did they ask you to come kill me......!?

"I told you the assassin quit"

Right, King Randolph said, weaving a gown nearby.

"Uh, already, I'm scared. Because I'm not half hopeless when I see you all of a sudden. Scarer than Reaper..."

And blurry.

"So, what can I do for you? You said you'd never see me again."

"It's not an assassin, it's a favor for me as an individual. I need to confirm something. If it wasn't King Randolph, it could be difficult."

"What...?

So I told him about Meili.

"Princess of the Principality of Badenhark, or..."

"There would have been a connection with the Ferrind royal family. I want to know if there's a survivor. Information doesn't matter. Anything in your ear?

"... protected Lord Leite-Badenhark"

"Meili's mother? And now?"

"Mm-hmm. I'll get the back shield of my kingdom of Ferrind and stay on the ground to rebuild the Principality. But the others don't know..."

"... well. Then I want you to tell Layte Badenhark. He said he was protecting his daughter."

I told him the general location of the house. You'll find out soon enough because you don't have a house around.

"I'll borrow this"

"You owe me a great debt. I don't think I lent it to you."

"No, that's me as an assassin. This was a personal consultation."

"You're still a disciplined man. If that's the case...... now I want it to be chara"

"Okay. What?"

"Be my daughter, first princess, about the brave Almeria."

When I finished consulting King Randolph, I went back to town.

Tell Lyla we're ready.

Then, two mornings later.

ragged, and the loud noise of the wheels sounded, stopping near the house.

I stopped my breakfast hand, I looked at Lyla, and I went outside.

An old carriage and four escort-like knights and four horses that have been riding stop in front of the house.

With your hand, a lady came out of the carriage.

I bowed my head small and made a meeting.

"My name is Loran Argan. I usually work for the Adventurer Alliance."

"My name is Reite Badenhaak"

I grabbed my skirt small and greeted her.

Lyla pulled Meili's hand and came out of the house.

"Aliases"

Raythe's eyes rumbled and Meili noticed as well.

"Mother."

Me and Lyla look at each other.

Again, at some point, I seem to have had my memory back.

Who? No, good.

Raythe, who rushed over, hugged Meili.

"Good, good, really good..."

Wow, yeah, and I raised my voice and Meili started crying.

Think of it, there's never been anything like being selfish or crying about it year after year, but I guess I finally got back to my original alias.

He didn't even say a single cry to my training.

"Oh my God, what a thank you..."

"No, because I haven't been protecting you all my life"

"That's not true. King Randolph has asked me to speak to you. In a situation where there's nothing I can thank you for, it's very painful."

"I didn't want that kind of thing and keep it"

It was a squeezing Lyla voice.

I agree.

Then again and again, I was thanked by Reite.

"We will never forget this grace."

That said, I pull Meili's hand and try to get in the carriage, but Meili didn't move.

Raite, who guessed, gently said, "Greetings, come," and boarded the carriage.

Kuru, and Meili turned this way.

If I thought I'd stopped crying, I'd have tears all over my eyes again.

"Loran......"

"Yeah."

"Lyla..."

"Uhm."

Puffy and trembling lips, Mairi said.

"Two, thanks to you..."

Shit, and I rubbed my eyes again, trying to stop the tears, but never stopped.

"I was happy."

Next to me, Lila shrugged her lips all the time.

"Oh. So do we."

Says Mairi as she squeezes her throat, keeping the tears that transmit her cheeks intact.

"It was warm. Eh... I've done something important for you... And then, a lot more, I can run. I could also be an adventurer - full of them, thanks to both of them... it was fun..."

I swollen my eyes, Meili rushing over here.

We got on our knees and hugged Meili.

"Wow. Awwwwwwwwwww. -"

I stroked Meili, who never stopped crying, and Lila was cheeky with a crying face.

"It's not like this is a lifelong breakup. Meili...... Alias Badenhark. You can always see me again."

Yeah, yeah, and Meili nodded over and over.

"Coming... letters, dashi... reply, come on..."

"Of course."

"And I'll make Loran my son-in-law... then, like Lyla, be adorable"

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

"What's 'OK'?"

Lila punched me in the flank.

A smile finally blossomed on Meili, who was crying.

Waving, Meili got in the carriage and left.

Meili and Lyla waved forever.

When I couldn't see the carriage, I was Lyla, who was about to cry, even willingly, but I finally cried out.

I embrace her softly.

The sky without clouds was bright blue.

It's a beautiful day.

I was reminded that Meili meant blue sky.
