"Bye! What do you think, Kai-kun, it's stained beautifully?

"Ooh! I kind of changed my impression. You have darker eyes than before."

"Yeah. This time, it's not a simple one, it's a genuine magic drug. It responds to its own magic, just as I used to change the color of my hair at will."

"Everything, when the magic in your body is activated, temporarily changes the color of your hair back. When you really restore the color, you use a special technique and medicine."

After a while, the door to the room opened and they appeared.

A lure with long, golden hair that sparkles brilliantly.

On the other hand, I feel a slight chest ache that I find beautiful in its appearance. But is it the feeling that the person in question enjoys stylishness? He seemed to enjoy the sarah and its radiance flowing with his hands.

That was the time. The ship rocked out just a little bit.

Until earlier, something seemed to have paused the ship offshore to follow the procedure, but was that done?

Hmm. I may not even have to hide in a container more than I dyed my hair... what should I do?

A sailor just arrived where I was conceiving.

Dragging one leg for some reason.

"Oh, you were here. You guys. Everyone wants to come to the captain's office."

"Thanks for letting me know. I'm on my way."

"... what, you dyed your hair. That one over there"

"I have a proper name, don't I? It's Lue, Lue."

"Hmm."

Apparently, he was still someone she thought he was.

Well, we're getting off the ship now. You don't have to say this.

It was when I passed beside him early enough and tried to leave there. A slight grunt reaches my ear.

"I wish I could have thrown the Abominable Child into the sea".

... Good for you. I can't do more than work under the captain.

Instead, I'll give you protection so you'll struggle in the next life.

I stop and stare strongly at the back of a sailor who leaves.

He then tries to invert the ability he doesn't need to activate the Force Collection, which he hardly ever used.

Something to take away from this man forever, one skill he needs to live.

I thought so. It was about the arrow tip. The little hand held this hand tight.

"Black, honey, the feathers and the white lady called me. Ham"

"... oh, I'm coming"

"Black. - Chan. I was about to do something bad right now. Ham. I know what you mean."

The Lord of hands was that sun girl.

Her black creased eyes narrow just a little.

I'm thrilled to say things like this one's heart.

... Was it putting out dangerous air enough for the child to understand?

"Relieved Ham. The one who messes with me is Ham, but he kept it a success. Ham. White Nee-chan, the one who made you fall, he slapped you on the foot with the same mop."

"... mop? No way."

"I also had the soup with all the things I couldn't eat, ham but instead I ate it. I'm a good kid who eats everything, so what the heck. So don't worry, Ham."

That's all they say, I finally realize.

... is that what this is about?

This kid was swapping vessels with Lue. I mean, he said that the massive shells this kid was eating were supposed to be... served to Lue.

And the sailors earlier were dragging their feet...

"... it would be hard if you were angry"

"I'm not going to be such a jerk. I'm relieved."

"Oh, wait"

That's all I have left to say, and once again I lose sight of her, who rushed out great.

... You owe me, for that kid. I wonder who it really is.

Heading into the captain's office, Lue and Reis, and the captain, were just about to come out.

You think you're going to lead me to that container?

I think it's okay because I dyed my hair, but you should keep an eye out for it, and so on.

He said that a grey-haired elf that dyes hair is endless, and naturally, he's also developed the technique to look into it.

Even if it was a simple test, Reyce agreed that it might be dangerous to use a full-scale magic guide, and drank the captain's suggestion.

"Kai-kun, you're late. Are you lost?

"It's just a similar hallway. There's no other way."

With that excuse, we head to the cargo bay.

This should have been where Lue and that girl were chasing each other before.

Because it's time to get to land, or I can see my luggage is better organized than before.

Then the captain passed those luggage, and somehow proceeded to the front of a large clothed box.

When the cloth is removed by making a noise with the bass, something is obviously different from the other containers. That appears.

Wooden container. But on its surface is a beautiful sculpture as if it were a first-class piece of furniture, and this itself is like a single offering.

No way, are we going into this?

"Ask one of us to come in. The other two are regular containers."

Someone's running footsteps echo in the warehouse when they are briefed and face to face about what to do.

The lord of sound is the sailor. He rushes to the captain in a hurried manner to see if there is any trouble, and slaps him in the ear.

"... got bad news in there"

Are you in trouble, Captain?

The reported captain gives an apologetic look and speaks as he drops the tone of his voice.

"They say that some of the people who are now coming to the harbor are also mixed up with people involved in the royal family. So hiding over here also gave me the possibility of being peeked inside the other way around. What do we do?"

"… normal containers can also be inspected inside"

"Yeah, but not all of it. Besides, your daughter's already dyed her hair, and even if she finds it, she'll go by 'I couldn't pay the fare and she pushed me in'."

"... Captain, is that how you do things?"

"We don't lock bad sailors up as punishment."

Ooh, frightening.

But what is it? Either way, I think about the empty container, and one of us has to go into this donation container.

Why don't you just say, "I'm a cautionary stick" or something and land normally?

That's what I was suggesting.

"... I'm sorry, but you're not supposed to exist on this ship. Vio's girlfriend has a clear identity, but you don't either. Plus... I'm sorry about the extra noise than there are people involved in the royal family. Don't feel bad for me."

and. Then I have no choice. This one, too, owes him the favor of having it carried. There's no way you can make things rough through impossibility.

Well, then who goes into the offering container... as the captain put it, in order to reduce the risk at all, Lue is asked to go into the regular container...

Then, inevitably, either Lace or I will be in a gift container.

"What if there's a suspicious person in the royal container?"

"... they'll take you. We're not going to take refuge then either. Sorry."

"Roger, roger. Then I'll go in."

"Mr. Kai!?

Rayce shouts a surprise, but he won't even go to let her in.

If I were you, I wouldn't care if they found me. It's also my hand to be escorted to the castle.

In order to tell her about it, and to tell her the course of action for what if, the three of us would like to talk to the captain once and start talking in the corner of the warehouse.

"In case you ever break up with me in the future, you two better not be forced to come to King's Capital. 'Cause they're scrutinizing the way in and out over there."

"... what are you going to do with Kai-kun?"

"I'll finish my errands. There's gotta be those two over there."

"... Me too, I want to see you. But I'm sure that's hard."

Even from Lyue, Dalia and Shun were the longest spent friends.

I am very aware of that. But I guess she herself understands the difficulty of entering the king's capital.

Regrettably, I was distorting that look.

"Don't worry. They're great people. One or two of the special provisions, let them make it and let them in."

"... well. That's right. Then I wonder what I'll do."

"So should I wait somewhere safe with Lue?

Think. That's what I said right now, just in case.

And I haven't told them about my other purpose, "Request for an Apology to the Royal Family."

If I get stuck...... no doubt, I'm going to have to deal with the country.

When that happens, which way does Dalia and Shun get......

In the beginning, I thought those two would do enough to betray the country for me.

But it made me think that Oink, who lived in this world for a long time, cared about the semi-final continent and struggled to give people peace and security.

"The environment and the years change people and sometimes make big decisions," he said.

It could be about cutting yourself and developing your country, or maybe - 'For the sake of your country, turn your sword to any human being'.

'Always assume the worst' This is also my creed.

That's why I'm not sure if I should keep them away from me, or if I should have them waiting nearby for a while.

"... to some extent, yeah, maybe the republican side is weaker in the wind"

However… I would still like to rule out the possibility of danger to Lüe.

It's not certain to be hostile, but to put her at risk because of that undetermined crisis...

"Republic... Kai-kun and you are going to be so far apart? I... don't like that. I don't really want to leave."

"Lue......"

The moment I mouthed it, as I had never seen it before, she sadly distorted her expression.

"I dyed my hair, and I think my powers would delude me as much as they would test me. After all, why don't I go with you?

"... Dahlia could be a magic guide or a technique that involves her directly."

"Huh! Even I haven't lost. It's okay, please. If you can't do it, then I'll run away."

Just a little bit, I thought it was dangerous. My current girlfriend.

If I refused any more, something would break, I felt that way.

If I look at her like that, all I can do is shake my head vertically.

"Okay. If it doesn't seem possible, you and Reis can wait just a little further away. And - if anything happens in the Wang capital... then - no matter how late you are. But definitely come to me."

"... ok, I'll definitely go"

And if ever, I'll be ready, too.

Assuming there was a future ahead of us that would set us apart from our friends, I apologize at that time, but I would also ask Lue and Reyes to cooperate.

Even if Seven Stars is my opponent, I'll try it alone.

But if those two were hostile... I don't think I'd outrun them unharmed.

That's why I want Lue and Reis to help me.

To my suggestion, the two of you didn't try to run into any doubt.

"What are you going to do?" "Why are you calling us?"

You don't have to say it, maybe you're feeling it thin. What I think and what I'm trying to do.

Still, I decide not to talk until then.

To make undetermined anxiety, not definitive anxiety.

Return to the captain and tell him I'm entering the gift container.

Then, just at that time, the ship rocked heavily.

"Hey, looks like you've arrived! Your two daughters, hurry up and hide in this container, in the luggage clearance! Your brother, inside the container just now!

Open the small door provided at the top and dive inside.

Grant yourself [Five Senses Enhancement] in an attempt to know its interior where you can't see anything in the dark.

Then, it also acted firmly on vision and became apparent to the extent that blurred and contoured objects were felt.

... There shouldn't be any light, but that's weird.

"... on furniture... on a sword, perhaps a painting"

As I followed the signs as I explored, the container shook gakun.

Probably trying to be transported outside. Now focus your consciousness toward the outside of the container, and focus on the sounds and speeches you hear.

And the first thing I heard was...
