Hero Manufacturing Machine ~A Job to Make Children~
Episode 4 "Succubus (Succubus) · Succurama ⑤"
"Thank you very much. I'm sure everyone will be happy."
Sakurama is politely thanking me.
"I really appreciate the nuns, and it's hard for me to do this without a chance like this, sometimes."
After that, Sakurama thanked me many times.
Looks like a really nice girl.
I was looking at Charles.
Ah.
"I always thought that the royal caretakers around me would do anything, but that's not true."
Sakurama says that after leaving the store.
"Well, I was raised a little differently than the other princes."
"Really?
"Prince, I'm a commoner. I mean, now I have a lot of room in my pocket, but I think I used to have a more modest life than ordinary people."
Charles?
He asks me with a surprised look.
The other princes lived in the royal palace.
"Yes"
"My mother and I had a terrible abandoned house, and we lived there."
"You're a prince, right?
"Don't get me wrong, but there's nothing wrong with the King treating us coldly? I had the minimum support I needed, and that was what my mother wanted."
"That's right. I have heard that His Majesty King Lerouche is above all an honorable king of justice. Even the historic Bradian royal family is famous for its fingerprints."
Has it reached Sakura's ear? As long as I'm happy. "
"You admire your father, Charles."
Sakurama says that to me.
"Of course. I've seen all sorts of worlds, but I don't think there's a man like that with his own father."
"It's really amazing that Charles said that. What kind of reverence do you have?
"The most important thing is fairness. I can't do that."
I really think so.
"Can I ask you something else?
"And I think I'm going to lose my head a lot. That blood was passed down most intensely to Brother Claude."
"Yes"
"My brother is gone. He wasn't ten years different from me."
"Dear Charles...."
Sad face suculama at the story I told you.
"Sorry, it's getting wet. Well, I wanted to say to the rabbit, horns, that my father is so smart that he can't compare to me."
"You must be proud of your father."
Yeah, that's right.
After that, I started chatting while walking, but Sakurama's interest seemed to be on a different topic.
And then...
"Um, can I ask you something like this...."
It's hard to say such a thing.
"What, suddenly be afraid. I'm not angry, so tell me."
I spoke as calmly as I could.
Well then, let me ask you something.
Sakurama said that he was ready.
"Can't Charles be king? You must be the oldest prince alive right now, right?
Oh, that's what I'm talking about.
My recent assessment is not bad. Rather, I pretend that my previous treatment has been raised like a lie.
If it's just a simple popularity, you can say it's a bit different from other old princes.
For that reason, it's not impossible for Sakurama to think like that.
"If you're as good as Charles, it's no wonder you're a king. However, since there is no story of you succeeding me at all, I asked you what I thought was impolite."
…………
I wonder how to give it back. I think I'm angry, a succulent expression that clouds my face.
"Again, shouldn't you ask, is that a rude question?
"No, that's not true. You know I'm not a candidate."
I will answer about it immediately.
I found Sakurama relieved by my unusual appearance.
Though still a few years ago, there are a number of candidates for the next king.
Although the king is not yet old enough, there are unpleasant precedents of sudden deaths of his brothers.
They're known early to prepare for emergencies and avoid confusion.
That doesn't have my name in it.
Saccura's right.
Continue to separate them there.
"I can't be king, I can't be king. The King knows that."
"... if you don't mind, may I ask why?
"I had nine brothers."
"Yes, I know."
"My strength as a brave man was my best. Maybe it's not wrong."
"You pushed the elderly prince, right? Isn't that amazing?
I was given the least time to be my youngest brother, but I was not educated to be king, and I could only spend my time to hone my strength.
I was able to say that I cheated in a way around it, so it's not like I can chest out that much.
I don't have to think like that.
There's a reason I can't be king around here.
"... you're too good as a brave man, right?
"No, but it's a little different."
If you're going to be a fighter, you'd better turn around than be king.
When you become king, you can say that you will never go to war.
That is no exception to my father, who is both excellent in literature and art.
I don't think I've ever been to a battlefield in my reign.
Although it is necessary to have some force as a person who stands up to be king, it cannot be said to be a waste of talent in a sense.
The fact that the King himself does not need to go out is not such a serious situation, and it is a testament to the abundance of human resources, but rather a matter of joy.
"I'm just getting too strong. I didn't study to be king at all."
……
Shut up and listen to me, Sakurama.
"Well, it was my mother's policy not to involve me in the throne of power."
"Excuse me, but where is your mother now?
"... he's gone, unfortunately."
"I'm sorry...."
"Never mind. It was years ago."
She answers deliberately to make sure she doesn't get sick.
"A few years before my mother died, I had earned my own food since I was a teenager."
"Since you were such a little girl? That's amazing."
"Whether it's amazing or not, rabbits and horns, it was the policy of my late mother."
"Yes"
"I guess you knew you couldn't live that long. I wish it were now, but..."
"Yes"
"I think he wanted me to be independent as soon as possible."
…………
Sakurama thinks something about that word of mine.
I can't seem to find the words to call me soon. [M]
I kept talking.
Now I'm gonna talk about my father.
"Yes"
"As Saccura knows, my father is king. I'm busy. That's what I'm looking at."
"Yes"
"In addition, there are nine other queens."
"Yes"
"That's why parents rarely get together."
"Yes"
"Still, I was the best parent in the world."
…………
Sakurama is once again feeling something about my words. [M]
And finally, he opens his mouth.
Dear Charles,
Ah.
"I don't have a blood family."
Ah.
"Let me tell you what I just said, and I thought that family was wonderful."
"Thank you, Sakura."
I smiled gently at her who gave me the words.
"But"
When I say so, Sakurama looks at me.
"There are many brothers and sisters in Saccura who grew up in the same orphanage, even if the blood is not connected."
"Yes, that's right. Not everything is enough, but I think we can work together and get along."
"I want you to help me with a little effort around here. As a prince of a nation, as a man of my own."
"Thank you very much. I am very pleased to have someone like Charles in the royal family."
"It involves the training of children who will take charge of the country's future. I know you're busy, but I'll talk to my father."
"Thank you very much."
"I'm glad you thanked me, but it's only natural. Besides, that king would listen to me sincerely. I think so."
"Yes, I agree."
"I'm going back because my story got derailed."
"Yes"
"I don't treat people coldly, but I tend to treat people I like. I know it's not good for me, but I can't fix it."
…………
Succurama that holds back on my words.
In a short time, it seems undeniable that you have a tendency to deal with me.
"This habit is very unfriendly for those who stand up. You can say it's fatal."
Having said that, I will conclude that I have talked for a long time.
"That's why I'm not a great king."
…………
Saccurama didn't seem to think of a good return to my abusive remarks.
"Are you disappointed?
I'll ask you that.
"No"
Saccharama looks at me with straight eyes.
"Charles is a lovely man, whether he be king or not."
You give me that kind of word with your best, full-bodied smile.
I will not be king.
Not that I was lost, but I felt that Sakurama's words convinced me that I was on the right path, even though it was mine.
