In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 547 The Queen's qualifications and the girl's determination.
Through the boulevards of Brunhild's castle towns, there are several residential streets.
It's a residential neighborhood that was built when this town was built, and it's been built by later settlers.Nominally, it is called the Old City and the New City, etc., but it is not so different from the building itself because not so long has passed.
At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many emigrants from Yeosheng, so the colour of Yeosheng was somewhat different from that of the Old Town.
The houses of Ende, Mel, Ney, and Lise... in other words, Alice's house was in the new city.
It is a small red-roofed house on a slightly higher hill.
This house was not prepared for the winter nights by Ende and Mel, but was built by Ende with instant cash from the adventurer's guild.
It was possible to build a larger mansion, but in the first place, they only needed to live, so it was this size.
I'm not saying that Mel would pay for food if they had money to spend at home...
There was also a large garden, which was supposed to be a familiar home for Alice, but the house would actually be added in a few years.So it's a little different from the house where Alice lived in the future, but it's also fresh for Alice.
In the future, I've been interrupting you many times, so it seems that the feeling around you is the same.
Ende and Nay, and Alice and Eternity walk through the gateway to the front door.
I'm just leaving.
Welcome back, Neye. Kuniu-kun is here too.
I'm sorry to bother you.
Mel, the owner of this house, greeted everyone because he told them on the phone that he was going to take her home.
Yes, the owner of this house is Mel.
Because it was Ende, Ney, and Lise who married Mel.This house revolves around Mel.It was mainly Ende who earned it.
Where's Lise?
"I'm in the kitchen." Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
Mel's words led Ende to the kitchen.This house's meal is mainly cooked by him.
Originally, Freys didn't need meals, so they didn't even have the concept of cooking.It was inevitable that Ende would stand in the kitchen.
Even though Lise has progressed to the point where she can help a little, Ende still thinks she can't handle the cooking.No cooking, especially with fire. It's too dangerous.
I sat on the sofa as long as I was encouraged to go through the living room.And as expected, Alice sat down beside her.
You're close, aren't you?
Because we've been together since we were born.
Well, that's a good one.
Two people sitting on the sofa replied to Nai's words.Meanwhile, Ney and Mel face each other and smile tinyly.
It might be a bit early.
With that, Mel cut out a word for Eternity.
Kuniu, are you going to get Alice to be your daughter-in-law in the future?
"Oh, Mother!" I can't believe you're my daughter-in-law! "
Holding down Alice's red face in Mel's words, she twisted herself.
In contrast to such Alice, Hmm, Yutaka looked at the ceiling as if he were thinking.
Isn't it difficult as it is?
"Huh...? Yuuki, what are you going to do about it?"Do you have a girl who likes you more than I do?Hey, who's this kid I know?Is he stronger than me?I'm the best, right?Hey, you know what? Hey, answer me.hey, hey.... "
Alice, whose pupil highlights had disappeared in an instant, was standing there forever with her true face.Both Mel and Nay had never seen Alice like this before, so they were exhausted.Somehow, the black aura seemed to be rising from Alice.
Eternity slowly opened her mouth without panicking at the blinking expressionless Alice.
"I don't have any favorite children, so that's not the reason."
Oh, thank goodness!
Alice smiled when the highlights returned to her eyes in the same moment.
It was Mel and Nay who were surprised by the change in their daughter, but they changed their minds and asked again for eternity.
What do you mean, it's difficult as it is?
"At first glance, I am the heir to the throne of this country, so the person to marry will eventually become a queen."If you are not a worthy opponent to be a queen, there is a risk that you will interfere with the management of the country.I have to be careful. "
”Hmm, I'm not worthy?”
"Alice, queens are troublesome in terms of character, manners, dancing, socializing, and running away with queens from other countries."You don't like all of this, do you?I simply didn't think it was a good fit. ”
Hmmm!
Alice could not refute the truth alone and swelled her cheeks.
"It's not suitable, is it?" You say it like it's one of your professions. "
"I don't think it's coming off."It's the queen's business. There are those who have become desires and those who have become desires. "
Eternity replied like that to Nay.
Like Winter Night, the father of eternity, if you become a king after making a promise of marriage, you will be forced to become a queen.
Elsa, Lindsay, Happo, etc., were the mouths.Since Yumina and Lou have received such education from the source, this does not apply in this case.
"Hmm, I'm sure that those who will be the king's companion will need to have the qualifications and responsibilities they deserve."Otherwise, the subordinates will not be satisfied, and in some cases it will lead to the collapse of the country. "
It was Ney who unexpectedly showed the most understanding of Eternity's words.
Mel said that it was unusual for Nay to love Alice as a cat.
Oh, Ney. You've been carrying your shoulders for a long time, haven't you?
I have fled to another world with a companion who was opposed to serving the king.
Ugh!
Holding down her chest, Mel squatted.
Nay's words were pierced.It is true that Mel, who was the "king" of Freys, failed in the selection of his companion, and even though he was said to have caused great damage to the country, there was no choice.Mel himself didn't think he had failed in his mate selection, but the lords of the Crystal Realm [Freudia] still don't think so.
But, if Alice is educated as a lady and becomes a woman worthy of the queen, then there's no problem.
Well, Alice may be the one who cares the most about my age, and I would be very grateful if she did.
At this point, Mel still knew that Eternity was not in love.
It may be Alice who cries if he falls in love in the future.
Don't let that happen, or you'll have to make Alice's existence into a one-of-a-kind one.
After he becomes king, there may be no choice in the side room, but it's unacceptable for Alice to be the side room.
As the queen who controls them, Alice will have to reign.As a result, it makes Alice happy.
Fortunately, he is a personality that, in his position, attaches great importance to the public and private spheres.Then [as a queen] if Alice becomes irreplaceable, her position becomes a stepping stone.
"Alice, why don't I ask Yumina-san to educate you ladies?"
"Ehhh... it's a pain in the ass..."
Mel's words made Alice look like a bitter bug.While smiling at the expression, Nay also connected his words.
But if I don't train as a queen, the princess of another country will endure for a long time?
"... that's no good"
"If the other child becomes your fiancée, will he stay with him forever?"You're second best.No, maybe the third or fourth..... "
"Huh? What are you talking about, Mom?I'm the one who's the best.We've been together ever since we were born, so it's not like we're second.I'm always the best, right?Isn't that right? Isn't that right...? "
Once again, Alice, whose highlights had disappeared from her eyes in a flash, drew closer to her face for a long time.
Perhaps she was used to it, but Eternity opened her mouth in the usual way without moving a bit.
Well, I guess. Except for Sister and Steph, Alice is the closest girl of her age.
That's right!
Pfft, Alice smiles back.
"But that's not what I'm talking about.It is my responsibility to carry this country on my back. [M]If you're going to be a companion, I hope you're prepared to carry it with you. "
"Even though you're young, you have a solid idea..."
"I'm afraid not."
As a child, Nay seemed to prefer Eternity, who had a mindset as a king.
It reminds me of Mel when he was in the Crystal Realm [Freudia].
A gentle king who is noble, rude, and does not bend his beliefs.If you stand beside the king, it is only natural that you must be prepared and diligent.
Nay turned to Alice, who was dissatisfied with Eternity's words.
What do you want with Alice?
"... I would be happy if I were to receive that lady's education and become worthy of the future queen?"
“Well, it's easier for Alice to get married.”
"Then I'll do my best." I want to stay next to you forever. "
In Alice's long-lasting eyes, I saw a light that I was prepared for.
Mel saw Alice's readiness and felt that she knew why she hadn't educated a lady since she was born.I think it was all to elicit this readiness.
Preparedness is a category that cannot be reached without being in the situation and the mood.That's just the time now.
Mel is convinced that if Alice cares about it, it won't be difficult for her to acquire her status as a queen.
In the first place, Alice was also a direct descendant of Freys' [King].I must have some qualities as a queen...
"But Alice, when I become your eternal daughter-in-law, I might be able to build some other side rooms, not just yours?"Is that okay? "
Nay remembered the black aura and checked with Alice.
"Like Your Majesty? It doesn't matter if I'm the best."Besides, I don't think you'd want to be my daughter-in-law if you didn't like me. "
"Of course, there's a lot of royalty that has fallen due to the Hindu problem."I don't want to have a side room that doesn't agree with my mistress. "
Nai was just a little relieved by the statement.In the case of Alice earlier, I thought it would be a terrible thing if she got the side room...
However, as for Alice, it seemed that it would be better if it was the longest.
"Then it's settled. We can't decide on our own, so let's leave the engagement behind and ask Yumina to educate Alice."
"Good luck, Alice."
Good luck!
Something important has been decided, but I didn't really care about it as Eternity.
Everyone was willing to accept it as long as their fiancé didn't have a lot of problems, and if it was Alice, I would feel comfortable.
It's not that Alice is cold, or that she has no affection for her.Somewhat, it feels like a family.The harm was there because of childhood familiarity.
Lise, holding the tray, appeared as she quietly drank tea in the presence of the three of them, who were exuberant.
"Please wait. Lunch is cutlet curry"
I did it!
"Oh, cutlet curry. That's good."
Alice and Nay's face faded at Lise's words.I thought that the cutlet curry was a little heavy at lunch, but I kept silent because I was going to have a feast.I don't hate the cutlet curry itself, and I can eat it normally if it's in that amount.
Then, after Lise, Ende appeared with the inching pot.There is a nostalgic curry inside.
In time, Mel and Ney headed to the kitchen with a large piece of rice and a pile of fried cutlets.
These are for refills.Ende eat well anyway, Meru, Ney, and Lise eat well anyway.Alice, who drew the blood, ate just as well.
I was not particularly surprised because I knew such a situation of this family for a long time, but I thought that it would be overwhelming if it was arranged in front of me.
Place the cutlet curry with the mel on a plate in front of Eternity.
"Don't hesitate to eat it."I have a lot of refills. "
Thank you very much.
I thought I probably wouldn't change, but Kuniu thanked me and took the spoon and said, "I'll take it."
What is in front of us is not the "Callae" of the beast kingdom Mismid that was originally in this world, but the "curry" that the winter night spread.
Naturally, since I was a child (although I am still a child), I have eaten it normally.
A spoon was inserted at the border of curry and rice, and when I ate a bite, the spiciness and taste spread in my mouth.
It's a lot harder than the curry you eat at the castle.But it's not as spicy as it gets later, it's as spicy as it makes you want to eat the next one right away.
The meat is pork. It is pork curry.The vegetables in the loo are potatoes, carrots, onions and the basics.I'm not looking for any odds.Orthodox.
Gu Yu, who enjoyed curry, will pay attention to the cutlets that are on the list.
Surprisingly thin, it's not a thick cutlet, it's a flat, easy-to-eat cutlet.Are you stretching it by tapping it?
I pierced it with a fork, put it on Lou for a moment, and then carried it to my mouth.It has the texture of a crispy coat, and when you chew on the soft meat, the flavor of the meat overflows with the taste of the curry.I was a little surprised at the taste.
There's pork in the curry, so I thought it was a cutlet.But the taste of this meat is not that of pigs.Neither a cow, nor a bird, nor a sheep. "This is..."
Dragon meat cutlet curry?
"You know what? I tried using it because I got some good dragon meat."Not the young dragon [Young], but the dragon of the adult dragon [Adult].The meat is deep, soft, and full of flavor. "
"I sourced it and cooked it..."
Ende laughed bitterly next to Lise, who spoke on Doya's face.
Basically, it was said that the more magical the beast's meat, the better.To put it very broadly, it was as good as a strong demon beast.
It is common for the strongest dragon to taste good, but mature adult dragons can also taste even better.
I have eaten the flesh of dragons several times, but I didn't think such things were easy to eat.
Naturally, he also eats faster.And it shall be eaten when it is eaten: it shall be one of the torments of the house of the Moon.
Is it delicious?
"Yes, very much."
While answering Alice like that, she carried the dragon flesh [Dragon] cutlet and dragon cutlet in her mouth.In fact, this cutlet curry was delicious.
It was a flavor that did not stand a chance compared to the curry made by one of my mothers, Lou, and my sister, Arcia.
I wonder if I can learn to cook, too.
"Ah, that's great! Dad will teach you."What, you can make something simple right away!That's why I did the same! "
Knowing that her daughter was interested in cooking, Ende unexpectedly raised her tension.In his head, he stood alone in the kitchen with his daughter, and the sight of her friendly cooking spread, but her own words shattered the fantasy.
When you're ready to cook, I'll make you something you'll love forever!
"Guu!?"
Ende, who had eaten the bodyblow of words, managed to withstand the fact that she was about to sink into the sea of curry.Despite his father's efforts, his daughter chewed curry deliciously.
"Hmm. Maybe I should be able to cook."I can feed my family something delicious. "
"If you think so, Nay will remember a little."I could have done it if I hadn't. "
"Wow, I'm that guy." It's fundamentally out of place.You can't waste important ingredients, can you? "
Ney scratches the curry while filling it with Lise's roughness.Mel giggles when she sees it.
"Alice is going to learn to cook, too.Oh, is this what Yae-san said about the bride training? "
"Huh, isn't it too soon for Alice to train for a bride..."I haven't decided where I'm going to marry, and I don't have any problems with it in the first place..... "
Ende is eating curry with her trembling hands with a twitching laugh.Mel, who ignored Ende's feelings, unleashed a blow to Kaishin.
"For now, but I'll go to Yumina tomorrow and talk to her, so I think Alice will be your fiancée."
"What is that!? I didn't hear you!"
Grasping the spoon, I bent it and the panicked ende stood up.His face turned blue as if he had mixed anger and despair.
Without changing her expression, she ate curry and slowly opened her mouth.
I've never heard of it, either.
"Hmm. It was decided earlier." Alice was prepared to be the queen of this country.Then we'll just give it a boost. "
"Oh... Alice is great. That's Mel's daughter."
"Ehehe. Thank you, Mother Lise."
Alice, stroking her head by Lise, narrowed her eyes like a cat and rejoiced.It was so cute that Lise continued to stroke Alice's head.
"Why do you decide such an important thing so lightly!"
"It's not light."Think carefully and consider Alice's wishes before making a decision. "
"Is it a decision!?"
Ende was stunned to learn the fact that such an important thing had been decided before she knew it.
"I won't admit it!"
"... Father?"
It's never happened, it's never happened!
Ende stood up with momentum, but was staring at Alice's highlights with vanished eyes, and immediately sat back in her chair. It is lethargic.
However, she immediately regained her mind and was embarrassed in her head...... No, Ende, who had thought of a breakthrough solution, gave one answer and opened her mouth slowly.
"... Alice was the [King] of Freys, Mel and my daughter."In other words, he was also a royalty of Freys.The royal family of Freys has a special challenge when it comes to getting a mate.When I confessed my thoughts to Mel, I was put to the test. "
"Endemuon, you can't be...."
Ney reacted quickly to Ende's words, and Mel and Lise also let out a voice like "Ah".
"You brought the old story again..."
"It doesn't make sense..."
Ignoring Mel and Lise, whose face was a little dazed, Ende spun her words into eternity.
"If you want Alice to be your fiancé, you will receive the Prismatis ritual."
