Kyuuketsu Hime wa Barairo no Yume o Miru

Ara, capital of the Amitian Republic.

Originally named as a free city, Amitia changed her name from kingdom to republic, but she made the transition capital from the former king capital of Cardia, where transportation was inconvenient.

Normally, it would take several years of work to become a transitional capital, but the will of King Collard, who was an undecorated character, did not carry out the construction of the Royal Palace, etc., but was mainly aimed at the transfer of political functions in the form of a diversion of the city council building, thus making it possible to transition the capital in a short period of time that could not be normal.

However, when the various kings triumphed to the new capital where they were based (originally from the city of Ara, which meant that they were highly aware of it as a city citizen), they glanced at the unscheduled royal palace - a castle like the one inhabited by the king of the red tongari roof of the gaga.

This was the liver of the Sovereign Nation, the Emperor Imperial Crimson (which in some countries was oriented to call 'demon emperor' or 'demon emperor', etc., but generally went by 'princess' because of its appearance), which was secretly constructed, and was borne by Imperial Crimson for all its materials, personnel, costs, etc., and was officially given to him, it is also said that King Collard, who received it, held his hands together on the spot and grumbled, "Interestingly retributed..."

As a result, in less than six months, the city was transformed into Amitia's largest city, both in size and population.

For the people, though, whether the king is replaced, whether the name of the country is changed, whether it fits under the umbrella of the Land of Demons or not, it is such an important matter that the price of tomorrow's wheat remains unchanged, and from that point of view there was no dissatisfaction with the current system, and people were being chased to their daily peaceful lives for their daily routine.

Somewhat, when it came to the fact that we no longer had the status of nobility compared to before, it was nothing other than good news for the provinces that originally suffered from the repression of nobility because it was neither directly related to their lives, nor, if it were, at the time of taxation, and now instead the tax collectors, who are officials of the state, cover their work, so that no particular change was felt and, conversely, the rate of taxation, which was fragmented from region to region, was uniform.

Visible changes have also included the recognition of human rights in demons adapted to human society at the request of Imperial Crimson, a patriarchal country, and hence the sight of goblins negotiating prices there in the city, as well as the orgy and previously unthinkable, but not the privileged classification of the initially feared demons, which, like normal citizens, made a society more just, egalitarian and peaceful than it had been in the previous aristocratic society by being well informed about the obligations to pay taxes and the penalties for committing crimes.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Joey, sitting on one of the park seats facing the capital's boulevard, watching the flow of people going to the city, vaguely thought that this city had changed a lot, too.

Even within sight, more races are known in the western region as subhumans, such as beasts and elves to passers-by (some regions are treated like demons), and all they thought about before is crusading as demons, goblins in the Great Forest, oaks in ancient labyrinths (dungeons), and the first giant of the White Dragon Mountains (cyclops) are walking across the city with our faces.

Even close by, Mr. Collard, who was the guild chief, somehow became His Majesty the King.

"What do you mean? I'd like to ask, hahaha..."

Mr. Collard, whom I met a long time ago to succeed the guild chief, had somehow said that with a nodding eye.

Dr. Garte, who became the new guild leader - squished a lot at the guild's training center - was also grinning bitterly.

"By the way, Joey. I called you here for two reasons. One is this..."

On the signal of Galte's new guild chief, Mr. Meer, who had refrained beside him (next time officially becoming secretary to the guild chief from reception), brought a familiar piece of metal - the guild card - and handed it to Galte's new guild chief.

"I thought it might be a little early, but our general has become His Majesty the King... well, we're about to celebrate. - D-rank promotion. Now you've finally got the egg shell."

Meer applauded with a full grin as the new guild director of Garte slapped Joey's chest more and more as he looked at the guild card he had been given and felt a twitch in the pain.

"Congratulations, Mr. Joey. Now it's sunny and alone."

Mr. Collard coughed up when he accidentally gasped at the words.

"Congratulations, Mr. Joey. I was relieved to lose one proposal when I left."

I nod strangely at the word.

"- By the way, D-Rank, so this is another matter, remember the example promise?

"Promise" - the beauty of the girl, who had never forgotten that moment, came back to life vividly.

"Also, of course! I'll show him around!

Mr. Collard sighed, holding down his glasses for some reason on the dialogue he had deliberately said.

"... well, I told His Majesty about it in public."

Sigh loudly again.

"'Oh, I'm going! I was just bored,' and I wonder where there's such a hippo at a time when there's a pile of discussions with our country and negotiations with other countries, that one..."

"Ha..."

Nod appropriately. No, I hear that Hiyuki's guy is better than Mr. Collard, who became king, and I'm sure it's tough, etc., and I think Joey.

Then when it did, I went on to wonder if it would be easy to guide the city or something, and Joey was given a leaf envelope before him.

"They say it says where and when it meets here. - Can you read the letters?

"Oh, yes, I learned it at the training center, so more or less..."

This, I mean, can I see him! Joey's face sparkled in an instant.

"Great. Now, hold on tight to that one's guidelines so you don't make a scene at best. - Because nominally it's only in the form of 'the common lady tours, the guild adventurer guides her with an escort'. As a country, it's not an extra policy."

He was stabbed in the nail with a serious face and Joey nodded with an ambiguous face.

"- But is that okay?

Isn't that instinctively something bad, though? I checked because I thought, and I got another big sigh of relief.

"I don't have a way. If you make a loud noise, it will take the form of a shadow, and even this one, it is better to pierce the attitude of 'I didn't know anything'. So please, Mr. Joey."

"Ha."

To Joey's unreliable reply, oh, we all realized that he didn't know what this guy meant.

"Well, you don't have to think about it, come on and escort me!

In the sense of shaking off anxiety, Galte's new guild chief slapped that shoulder hard.

So, I'm waiting at the time and place that the letter said, but I don't see that prominent girl.

Did I do something wrong?

That's how I feel about the back pocket of my trousers - because I wear my favorite light leather armor (light leather armor) today and lower my sword, so this is the only pocket I can use - I take the letter out of it and rarely check the contents.

"... you're absolutely right. What are you doing, that guy?"

So I went to solitude, and a nostalgic cool voice hung.

"- Hey, I'm sorry. Sorry I'm late."

It's late! I almost said it, and for a moment I thought they were different, and I looked at his face again to make sure I was sure, and Joey swallowed his breath gently.

Scarlet Snow was smiling as she wore a white hat wrapped around a light water-colored ribbon on a white summer dress in cotton, with only one round of red rose flowers there.

Joey, who thought it was going to come with his usual flashy dress, was poked at the impression, and he remembered his chest pounding in that outfit, which was also increased and fresh and defenseless.

"Oh, you, that... that's not your usual dress."

"Exactly, because that outfit stands out. Hey, I said 'the usual', but the first day I met you, it was an A-line dress, and the second day was completely different on the Princess line, and you just didn't make a distinction?

………

Joey, who thought they were both the same thing, was stuck in words.

"Fair enough. That's why I tried disguising myself, doesn't it look good on you?

So scarlet snow spinning on the spot while holding the hat with one hand.

Fluffy, short skirts flickered, thin, bright white legs burned in his eyes, Joey rushed away and turned red,

"No, I think you look great. Besides, I didn't know who I was at first."

I said what I thought quickly.

"Right. Then I guess disguise is a success."

Scarlet snow smiling happily.

That said, its appearance is too much to get the attention of the surroundings even if it stands silently, and Joey, having just noticed the reaction around them, decided that being here any longer would make a scene, rose out of the chair in a great hurry and took the small, luxurious hand of Scarlet Snow without saying whether or not it was there.

"Then it's time to go. You want to go somewhere or something?

"No, I'll take care of that area.... Why are you holding my hand? - And with a lover connection."

He didn't get it in his ear because the last one was whispering, Joey asked back in surprise.

"Hmm? Mr. Meer taught me this is what I do when I show you around the city, but what's the difference?

Scarlet snow holding the area around your forehead with the hands of those who are aiming.

"That guy again...... so it's been eight months since then and you haven't gotten along with Mr. Meer?

"No, that's not true. You're kind enough to have dinner with me, or make me lunch when I'm out on a request, Mr. Meer!

Scarlet Snow stares back at Joey, who says it with a refreshing look with no cloudiness at all, what an unspeakable smile after all sorts of emotions mixed in too much.

"Meer is too late, or this one is too blunt... I feel both"

"I don't know what it is, but you can go anywhere you want, right?

"I'll take care of it. Where you want to go."

Joey thought a little and replied to the throwing request.

"Well, let's make it my destination weapons store."

"... you're still alive with a spinal reflex, you."

Well, I'm interested in weapons in this world. Normally, I wonder if it's a place to take a girl first...? And it was scarlet snow that I greatly doubt in my heart.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

An hour later...

With a new sword down his waist, Joey walked down the street with Scarlet Snow and two with a hock-face (of course his hands still held together).

"Are you sure you want me to buy you such a good sword?

Joey makes the confirmation several times as he touches the pattern of the sword with the hands of those who are wearing it.

"I don't mind. If you think it's a substitute for the celebration of promotion. Besides, it's not a demon sword, it's a normal sword... and I put out more or less the previous sword to retrieve it, so it's not all, I paid for it."

Joey is delighted when he says, "Oh, my God, but I'm sorry," to Scarlet Snow, who shrugs his shoulders lightly.

"But the armorer's jerk also said, 'You have a good eye, young lady. The blacksmith who hit this guy is still young, but his arm is perfect,' and I knew you were amazing!

"Well, that was the only +1 in the same price sword, and it was durable. Remember, the next time you buy another one, I suggest you buy the author's sword."

Huh, nodded Joey, but felt his gaze and twisted his neck.

"... hey, that beast man, you know him?

――

Scarlet Snow's eyes, which were followed and looked at the end of his gaze,

It was so wide open that there was no more.

"... that's... stupid..."

Upset so violently that he had never heard of it before, Joey stared at its opponent in surprise with a trembling scarlet snow voice and a gripping hand.

Is he around 20 years old, a young beast man with dark hair that doesn't stop laughing slightly, and whose forehead is the only wolf system that seems to contain a blonde mesh?

Is the outfit particularly unobtrusive above and below hemp, when it comes to prominent features, armor and toenails on both hands and feet?

The man slowly approached me, looking at the face of scarlet snow, precisely like a wolf in front of his prey.

"Hey, long time no see, Scarlet Snow Tan."

A faint voice leaked out of Scarlet Snow's mouth at the greeting.

"- Ah! Brother Maru (Animal), you are here too...?

As Gilmouth of the guild "Brothers and Delightful Companions," Scarlet Snow's similar title holder [Beast King Blade Free], the man did not answer the question, but joyfully deepened his grin.
