The trade city of Birdland, which is a neutral city surrounded by Heim and Euro, as well as Rockdam.

Every three years there are major events taking place there. It was a tournament in which fierce men gathered from all over the continent to compete for that power.

This tournament, which many prides themselves on participating in, is also a time to earn money as a trading city, and it is a major event in which a number of shopkeepers and merchants shred their scraps.

And this year's tournament, the finals were finally starting. The voltage of the venue also jumps to its largest, with many cheers enveloping the venue.

The finals had some reason to be cheerful, and many were cheerful. The combination of finals was oddly that they were the same two in three consecutive tournaments. And the two, the numerous moves carried out from their forged bodies, take the eyes of the many gathered from all over the continent.

"Chip!... Still collapsing!

"You've grown much stronger than you were three years ago. You don't look right."

"It just sounds disgusting! Whoa, whoa!

On the other hand, he appeared as a delegate from Haim, General Logus of Haim. For the third consecutive tournament, he has made it to the finals of this tournament.

And that opponent, the old man, he was the representative of Euro. His name is Ed, the Duchy of Euro is the Führer Amur, his childhood tame and the man who has served as a sidekick until now.

The final, which was the same card in three consecutive tournaments, but Ed had not come to the final in three consecutive tournaments.

It was roughly eighteen years ago that he began to take to this tournament. Then for six consecutive tournaments, he was an unparalleled spear on the continent, if I may say so by personal force, taking to the stage of this final.

There is no doubt that Heim has the advantage because of the difference in national power, but if he had gathered as many troops and equipped them, Euro might have held the hegemony of the continent. Ed is the man they say he is.

Of course Heim and Rockdam and others have piled up a lot of money and solicited him. But his answer is always the same, 'I am the people of Euro' I have never replied otherwise.

"Looks like too much of a blow to get honest from the front."

"Eh... still that spear, I really don't think it's a human trick!

Logus sets up a series of hits, but he just never gets a clean hit.

Ed, although sometimes attacked unceasingly and retreating, is not damaged by just retreating. Because it distributes that pressure well.

"No, you've come. The sword is so heavy that it feels so hard on my old body that it can't be compared to the last time."

"So what do you think? Try to take a blow like this."

"If I get that, it's bound to be a huge injury. I'm still a workaholic, I won't let that happen. … which is why it is preferable to settle"

Ed enters Logus' nostalgia with a movement of cushioning. The audience raised their voices when it came to using spears, but I don't think that would allow them to capitalize on their advantages.

But the idea was soon broken. Move the spear neatly onto the spindle to intercept and guide Logus. And Logus, who was knocked out of his body in the pattern part of the spear, and Ed, who took a step back as he did, sticks his spear to Logus' neck.

"Game over! Winner, Ed belonging to the Principality of Euro!

Logus was unbeaten in the duel since becoming an adult and general. But that also changes when this old man named Ed starts showing up at the tournament.

This man named Ed was the only one on this continent who could soil Logus.

Maybe some adventurers can do the same. But they will not stand up and show strength. Still, Logus was undoubtedly one of the strongest on this continent.

"We had a good fight this time. Come on in."

Ed reaching for fallen Logus, Logus grabs that hand and gets up.

Repentance is great. But being able to compete with such a powerful man for a martial arts was also a valuable experience for Logus, which is why I haven't forgotten to thank Ed.

"… I always wonder when I can defeat you"

"Sooner or later, it will always be. You're a strong man, and you're still young. That's why we still have a future."

"I'd appreciate it if you could say that."

The unprecedented sixth consecutive tournament winner, Ed, who accomplished it, will no longer compete for martial arts on the occasion of this tournament. He is no longer young, which is why this time he felt fit.

"Oh, Father!

At the venue, my son Grint also comes to watch the game. I got a little confused about something that Grint couldn't have thought of, that my father would lose, but I manage to stay strong.

"... Mother! My father lost, but he showed so much martial arts. I am proud of my father!

"Yeah, right, Grint. My husband... Master Logus has really shown you his strength in a splendid way."

Two people sitting in the VIP table were Grint and Alma, watching the Logus game from the beginning.

The two had never seen a man named Ed before, but he keeps getting overwhelmed. Logus, who was an absolute being, saw that technology overwhelming him, just amazed.

But he would never be disillusioned by Logus, and his battle with the mighty as a samurai did not stop snatching the hearts of both of them.

"Mother. That Ed guy is talking about winning six games in a row. Then I'll set a record beyond that."

"That would be great! Me and my husband are waiting for that, but... maybe we'll see your husband and Grint fight. If that's the case, which one should your mother support?"

"Yeah, yeah... yeah..."

Sometimes I may fight Logus, my father, on this occasion. When I hear that, I start to get lost, but at the same time, I smile.

If you think you can compete with the target, Father, in a place like this with that person, you can't force him to roll either.

But Alma thought Grint might win, that's what he thought.

Born as a holy knight, Grint was a mass of talent. It continues to grow at an overwhelming rate, trailing its surroundings without much effort. And the other thing, it's anon, who's allowed to marry.

Minister Aid brought her here to marry Grint, a cute redhead girl. I believe her skill of blessing must make Grint stronger. And one day, Grint was expected to be a heavenly knight.

Alma is not looking forward to his future.

The place has changed, a room in a luxury inn in a trading city. There appeared to be an unsettling appearance of one royalty waiting to be reported. Even though the representatives of my own country are fighting the final, there is a reason why they waited in the Inn room without watching it.

"You haven't... you haven't found it yet!

"So, Your Highness, please wait a little longer... I thought it was time to arrive."

Tiggle von Heim. Make him the third prince of the Kingdom of Heim, the third man in the right to inherit the throne. He was looking for one woman, one woman who kept catching his heart. The woman was last seen in a trading city.

"Why! Why... where have you been, Krone!

Third-prince Tiggle, who is born with holy magic and is a cleric. The woman who kept capturing his heart is Krone. The only woman who proposed at an early age and wanted to be his wife somehow. Its beautiful and pathetic appearance, its light, its sparkling hair. With my knowledge, I could feel so much fun just talking. For Tiggle, a woman with very little flaws was Krone.

Likewise, the hidden Graf disappeared, which is why he sprained out of state spending, hiring many adventurers to gather information and search. But the result was not very good, and I didn't get a clue. Because of that, it hits Harley, the head of the Augusto family, who waited in the room with me.

"Harley! How can the Lord be so calm!

"I'm afraid, Your Highness. Both my wife and I, Elena, have been grieving for a long time. When I received the information that my figure disappeared, I also thought about losing my life. It doesn't mean I blew it off. But this is how His Highness Tiggle feels when he sees you worried so strongly that as a parent, and as His Highness's minister, we must do everything in our power to hit the search."

"... sorry. You were the ones who felt most sad."

"I get such care and I just get scared"

Inside, Harley knows all the circumstances. acting skills developed in the aristocratic society, and has continued to outperform it.

I have not yet received any direct contact from Ishtarika. The only contact I've received in the past is via Euro. Krone and Graf are just saying that they are safe and accepted and have fun living.

A country that would also be Ishtarika on purpose doesn't even have to lie. If I lied as Euro as well, I thought this story was credible in case my relationship with Ishtarika deteriorated.

Excuse me, Your Highness.

One knight arrived at Tiggle, who waited for the report now or now.

"Oh, there you are! Report it now!

"Ha. I found out about some of the inns you two used. It's also the last carriage I think I used again. Finally, we have a collection of information that can be called clues!

"It was daunting! Keep it going!... Finally. You're finally getting some information!

It will take some time and money to get here.

The faux created by Graf didn't seem easy to break when it comes to royalty, especially if it's also a trading city here.

"It's Harley. Father and daughter of the Lord...... it may not be such a distant future to see Krone again!

By the time you're foolish, Tiggle believes you two are safe. Opinions are spreading to the nobles in Haim that they have already been killed or sold as slaves.

In the meantime, Harley thought to himself that although he was impressed with Tiggle, who kept believing he was safe, the thought was never going to reach him.

"We appreciate Your Highness's dedication. My wife is thankful for it on a daily basis too… if you find it, let me thank Krone as well as my father firmly"

"... then you want Krone as your wife"

"Krone will also give his heart to His Royal Highness, who will give him something he cannot change."

"Ha! Right, we need to expand this search even further for that!

Somewhere out of the ordinary conversation. Whether Krone is found or not, Tiggle doesn't give Krone anything to change. And although the word Your Highness was not a mistake, which His Highness it is, and which His Highness it is.

Words change their meaning dramatically, even by the recipient.

"So you're here."

"Yeah. They kicked you out, didn't they?"

In the midst of the Third Prince Tiggle's search for Krone, Krone was generous in his room, prepared for the royal castle of Istarica.

"Ha... it must be obvious. All of a sudden you bring that stuff in, can I keep it? How dare you ask. What difference does it make to pick up a dog or a cat and want to keep it?

He tells me to pick up the cat and analogy, and the figure of a certain person comes to Ain's mind. I tried to simulate it in my head, and the cat looked katima. I can never tell people.

"No, you're right. But she's cute, or she's stirred up her protective appetite."

Ain't brought home the Sea Dragon twins. I said I wanted to keep it as I had decided, and Silvard told me, 'Lord who would be prudent for now,' and they let me out of the room.

I wanted someone to hear this story. Ain, I was visiting Krone's room with permission.

"I wonder if my upbringing isn't enough to understand what you're talking about..."

"... No, it's probably my fault"

"Phew. How could you cause such a commotion in this short period of time yesterday? Totally no more... well fine, stay here for now"

Ein, who was sitting on the couch opposite him. Krone called me, and I honestly headed next door. Because I don't say it, but a lot of worrying made me decide to listen honestly for a while.

"Oh. You're so honest, Ain't you?"

"I'm always honest."

"Could it have? If you're honest, I think you were in my room yesterday. Well, fine, even if you think like sin in your heart, I forgive you."

There is a slight cold sweat in the leak. But there's nothing I can do about it, Ain't decided to reopen it.

"Yes, come straight here."

"Huh? Huh...?

He turned his arm and put his head on Krone's lap as he was turned.

"What the hell is this?"

"Did you know His Royal Highness the King is a knee pillow?

"No, I know, but it's sudden, so I mean, I'm surprised"

"... yes. I'm in the mood for this, so I need you to hang out with me."

I don't hate it when Krone does this to me. That's why I decided to shut up, the good scent of the flowers emitted by Krone goes through Ein's nose.

"Arms. What do you think?

"It's a little better than yesterday, I'm not in the book yet, so I guess I'll have a little trouble with that."

The light slipped through the window was dazzling, but if you look at it, Krone's head shifted slightly, and he could shade Ain. The wind passing through the room through the open window was pleasant and I remembered the day I reunited with Krone in the port town of Magna.

The chirping of the birds flying outside reaches just a little bit into Krone's room, immersed in a little musical mood.

"Can we rest a little?

"Yeah. I found a pretty good place."

"Good for you."

Krone was also very worried about Ain. Even though I gave way to Olivia last night, it still survived for Krone to be given time to talk slowly with Ain.

"Hey. How did you feel when you were fighting Sea Dragon?

"... do you care?

In a pranky reply, Krone gently slaps Ain's cheek.

"I'm sorry, after all. The only way I could do it was to explain it, so I was desperate to do it."

"Weren't you scared?

"As much as I realized I was finally scared when I got back. Even when I was dragged into the ocean, his magic stone was delicious, and his breathing was painful due to Setouchi's battle, but I wonder if you thought it was strange and hard."

"You, Ein, defeated the sea dragon and became a hero. But you had the qualities to be a hero from the start, I'm sure."

"That's exactly what I get when they say it."

Ain't got a straight praised and illuminated face.

"But there's no food in such a battle. A hero who's eaten a lot."

"Yes, that's good... that's how good it was"

"That's more than anything. When I was worried about you, you tasted the sea dragon deliciously, right?

"I feel guilty when they say that."

"I'm pretty sure Ain saved a lot of lives, and I'm proud of that, too. But, you know, I was worried about you, that's all."

And a little skew of the head, Krone. A little payback for her, the shifting brings sunlight to Ain's face and feels a little dazzled.

"Well, I'm really sorry I left without asking you to stop me."

"Phew... Really?

"Of course, that's exactly what I think."

The wind rocks the curtain, and a breeze with a rush reaches both of us. Krone's hair shakes in the wind, and the scent from which it reaches Ain takes Ain's heart.

From the outside, I can hear the knights training, just a little.

Afternoon training must have begun. I heard the same thing, Krone.

"Keep the training until it's healed properly."

"For two months at a time, I'm being discreet in the castle, which is actually just fine."

"Right. Because Your Majesty is kind."

"I'm always grateful. Even this."

Krone looking out the window, Ain looking because he looked like it.

Shaped and shiny attractive Krone lips. I'm blinded by it. And Ain's head moved a little, as if invited by it.

"... here. Be a good boy."

"... Yes, sir"

Aside from that, Ein woke up and reached for tea. I had an arm that wasn't in good shape yet, but I can handle it enough to reach out and take tea.

"Delicious tea. Truly, the castle people always have a perfect job."

Tea you drink in the castle all the time is delicious. Ain't never enjoyed much tea before, but that hobby has changed since I came to Ishtarika.

"Oh, thank God for that. Glad to hear it."

"Uh, why Krone?

"I'm the one who brewed it. I learned it at school, so I was taught to be educated. I'll prepare it myself when I study, so I'm used to it."

"... I saw that."

Even Ain, used to the tea that Martha and the others prepare, the tea is a first-class product that feels stunning.

When Ain said that, Krone stood up and headed to the window.

"Nice day. I can see how hard it is for His Majesty to be brought here on purpose in this weather."

"Also, that's enough! I think it's bad..."

"Hehe. Well, then I won't tell you anymore."

Krone speaks in a good mood, looking out the window.

"Hey Krone. Did you mean what you said yesterday?

"... what could it be?

"You know what I mean.

'Mind if I say I'll set you free with everything I have from now on?' That's Krone's word. Though I ran my mouth to stop Ain, I was curious to see how serious I was if I tried from Ain.

"Hey... I'll tell you something good, Ain"

"What kind of things?

Krone, Ain't looking back through the window and continuing the conversation, Ain't seen him since.

"You like Ein, don't you?

"... you say it abruptly"

The abrupt Krone word, Ain't suddenly told I like it. It was full because I would say it like this. Still stubborn, Krone doesn't look back on Ain. Block Ein's words from eating and continue his words.

"That hasn't changed since we came to Ishtarika."

Krone keeps talking without responding to Ein's words. Never look back, from Ain you can only see Krone's hindsight. I wonder what kind of look you're wearing.

"Show me your face, Krone. Tell me, how far are you serious?"

"... I wonder. You can take whatever you want, okay?

When they tell me to take it as I please, I think about it. Even as Ain, I know Krone thought so well of himself. Still, I get a little nervous about not being assured.

Then Krone finally showed her face. That was just the side, and it wasn't totally pointing towards Ain. But from the side, I could also confirm to Ain that Krone's cheeks were stained red.

"But yeah. I'm worried about you, too, when you're so impotent. That's why I want you to rely on someone when you can."

And Krone looking back. Both cheeks are dyed red, but I don't know if it's sun fever or if I'm a little embarrassed to tell you how I feel.

"I worry too much, and I and Master Olivia might be able to figure it out. Even if it does..."

And accumulated a little, Krone looked back.

"Sister, you don't know?

Krone with a slight hip fold and slightly lower posture. Turning toward Ain, he put his index finger on his mouth and mouthed it. Krone smiles gently. The trick takes Ain's heart completely, but it delivers too much results.

Ain after that proceeded to walk near Krone, trying to say what he thought. Krone saw what that Ain looked like and just waited in silence. Is it your fault that she doesn't seem to have more room than usual?

But the door was knocked, as if I had fully anticipated the timing. I heard a voice from outside saying it was Martha.

"... oh, that's all I've seen today Ein"

"Krone... he's strong. If I was blushing, I wouldn't say I'm too strong."

"Dear each other, right? Your face is just as hot as yours."

I thought my temperature got hot for a long time, Ein's face, like Krone's, seemed to be stained red.

That being pointed out makes me a little hot again.

"Come on, Ain't. I hope you have a new pet, okay?

"... ah. I'll be expecting you."

Ain't to be dropped off. Since the result seems to have been obtained, I decided to head to the waiting area for Silverado and the others, Ain with my back hair pulled as far as I could, but Krone has spoken so far today, it is clear that it will be a re-division. Honestly, I decided to back off today.

"Hey Ain?

"Hmm? What?

"Thanks, that was fun."

Krone still looks on fire. I stopped Ain and thanked him for coming to me today.

"I had fun, too, tea treat. I thought it would be a good idea to have Krone brew it next time."

"... Ugh. Come on, hurry up. Your Majesty is waiting for you."

"Okay, I'll be back."

Then he opens the door and Ain goes to the Silvers. Looks like we've settled on the twins of the sea dragon, so I have to go and ask him how it turned out. As I had never said it had already been terminated, yes, in my heart Ain was praying.

"... ha. I thought I'd have a heart rupture..."

I can't think from the usual krone, he looks in a hurry. Her heartbeat continued to play loud for some time, even after Ain left.
