It was in the old days, before the Demon King War broke out.

More to the point, before the Sword King Cain became Durahan... it goes back to when he was still a Skeleton and not a Living Armor.

There were no civilizations on this continent yet.

Those who lived on the continent had only interaction with their own species, unlike in modern times.

Many histories have disappeared into the shadows as a result.

― ― ― ― In the past, the glorious Kingdom of the Dwarves also perished without fail.

By the way, there are very few traces of their country left in modern times.

Therefore, there were no scholars who expected that there was a country... and it was only recognized that there was a settlement.

But let's not underestimate the size of the country.The capital of the country, created by gathering the wisdom of the Dwarves, can only be found searching the earth.

In that place...

"I don't hate it. This kind of underground air, too."

The silver-haired man was carrying his legs.

In the basement, there is no sunlight.

However, its size is no larger than that of King Ishtarika's capital, Kingsland.The underground space is hundreds of meters high, supported by equally spaced stone pillars, and the pattern engraved on the thick body is artistic.

The silver-haired beauty headed toward the martial arts castle, which sat in the middle of the underground space, admiring the view.

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

In front of the man, a white doll that mimics the size of an adult male appears.

No faces, no looks, those dolls are, at first glance, somewhat creepy.

However, the man laughed coolly and walked without worrying about the blocked doll.

Then, the two dolls stretched their arms through the man's abdomen.

The arm spun around in a complicated manner inside the man's body and burned his internal organs with a glow similar to a magic stone cannon.

“You shouldn't. You can only kill one of me."

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

"... oh, innocence is also beautiful, but in other words, it's a confusion that has no power to think."

A dazzling flash is emitted from the man's body.

As a result, the body of the white doll collapses.

From the beginning, it was as if the sand had hardened by force.

Instead, the man's abdomen raised steam and the wound was blocked.

"You're here. Can you show me your face?"

The man walked again for a while and shouted in front of the martial bone castle.

And so.

"--Human, where did you come from?"

A little girl appeared above the gate.

When replaced by a human, he is so small that he doesn't even look like a ten-year-old, and he has such a cute face.

The outfit was rustic and made from materials like leather and hemp that were woven from plants.

...... The girl's greedy eyes narrowed and she looked down at the man.

The man who saw it opened his eyes wide and immediately laughed.

"Ahahahahahahahahahaha!Are you the king!? "

"If so, what is it?"... it's disrespectful. "

"This is rude. You feel the possibility of a cute figure."Oh, maybe you'll shine much prettier than Bayoru. "

"Bayoruf...?"

"Let's talk about this. Now, I'd like to talk to you if I can.― ― ― So will you calm down your men who are hidden in your house a little bit?

The girl opened her eyes in surprise, but immediately raised her hand and gave instructions.

Many dwarves appeared from the shadows of the houses around the man.

I see. Hundreds of subjects.

The man smiles as he looks at the dwarves surrounding him.

The Dwarves never broke their laughter, whether they had many weapons or not.

"I'll answer you, human!" I'm so glad you came to our country! "

A girl stood above the gate and roared.

"It's cute, you're a fake king (.........)"

"Ugh...!?"

Continuing with the girl's surprise, the surrounding dwarfs were furious.

However, the dwarves were stopped by the girl and put down their weapons.

"I'm here to help you guys."I want to find the true dwarf who has inherited the King's blood and rebuild your kingdom. "

"... what do you know?"

“All I know is what I've heard.So, what do you want to do? Are you interested in my story? "

The girl got lost for a while.

I looked into the man's eyes and looked for the truth, but I couldn't see it.

A man looks at a girl with his eyes open to everything, even spooky.

But no matter what, I didn't want to let the man go out like this.

"... I'm just asking. I will find out what you know and if I have to, I will execute you with a hammer."

The men were then detained by the dwarves.

He looks at the dwarves with a smile.

And then I walked through the gates of the castle that was opening up.

"--I want to see you redo everything."

A slight murmur was thrown in the direction of King's Landing, a city far away.

◇◇◇◇

Spring, afternoon on a certain day.

The scenery from the Imperial Castle also changed, and changes began to take place in the appearance of people walking along the main street.

Recently, Ein has been busier than ever.

One year later, as the prince awaiting reign, there was no holiday like a holiday.

"Speaking of which, I had something to tell Ain."

Katima, who came to Ain's office and reported to the lab, opens her mouth.

"Last year... there was a story about the Mithrith Valley, right?""Hey, what kind of land of Dwarves and Dark Elves is that?"

“I remember. What's wrong with that?”

"The story I heard from the Elder of Fuorun is coming together."I thought I'd give you a copy later. "

"Nh, Rikaa. What did you tell Grandpa about that?"

"I told Martha that I was waiting."

The story is about the past told by the elders of Huorun.

The dwarf nation, which is said to have perished, and the Dark Elf nation, the castle owners summed up what they had heard by going under the elders.

"It sounds like an idiot, but..."

"... well..."

"Ngh! A king of a country is drowned by a woman!"

I'm sure the Dwarf King's death was triggered by the death of the Dark Elf Queen.

According to the elder of Huorun, the queen had an unusual beauty and a body that liked men...

You mean you lost to the threat around your chest?

Think of Ain as a mess.

Katima shrugged her shoulders and shook her beard.

"Well, the Dwarf King seems to have lost to the threat around his chest."

…………

"What? Why did you shut up?"

"No, nothing."

"Hmph... that was a dawg!""It was a place to laugh a lot..."

"I'm sorry, I don't want to do this anymore."

That's a lot of things.

(Too tired for official duty)

Otherwise, my heart will be broken.

Phew, exhaling a sigh, Ein grabs the tea cup she had on her desk.

Although it was a little cold, the tea Martha had brewed was as delicious as ever.

Still...

and Katima.

"I'm free ~"

She leaked a yawn as she raised her noble voice in the weather, inciting Ein to perform her official duties.

But in fact, Katima is also busy with Katima.

I heard that there are many other jobs after the artificial magic of the Golden Route, and that they are also fulfilling their responsibilities as the next Grand Duchess.

If that's the case, I just really want to stir it up.

Ein felt that way.

"If you're free, help me."

"......? What should I do?" "Katima-san and the documents from this laboratory were deficient, so please fix them yourself." "- - I'm sorry."

So her mistake is to let her fix it, but the work continues.

Katima, who was trying to make trouble for Ein with some intentions, apologized honestly and headed to the office sofa.

She heads to the table over there and leaks a pathetic voice, "Ayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".

"Oh my gosh, I thought I'd surprise you."

I don't know what to do.

"Nhahaha, not this time, though."

Ein suddenly noticed.

I remembered Ein's own past in the face of Katima, who laughed.

(What the hell?)

For a moment, it was a moment, but Katima's expression looked like Olivia's.

It was not long before Ein was born.

In other words, the face looked maternal and gentle.

Ein stood up amused and sat down opposite Katima.

"Huh? Are you curious?"

Hmm, somehow.

Katima slipped her pen.

"Before I do that, can I talk to you for a second?"

I continued with a sinister voice.

It's okay, but did you do something strange with a prank?

"I don't think that's weird!"

She does not raise her face, but has an impatient expression on her face.

Meanwhile, Ein notices that Dill's name came up, "Huh?”He tilted his head.

"Just say it."I'll keep it a secret from everyone. "

"Are you sure?"

Yeah, that's how it feels to be the first time you've talked to me.

"Thank you! I really owe you one!"

Then Katima put down her pen and looked at Ain.

His face is always sincere and nervous.

"It's okay in about an hour, but I need a little more time to spare."

Of course, I can't afford it.

But Ein, concerned about Katima's condition, lied to her, "It's okay."

Katima stroked her chest relieved when she heard her reply.

"Can I bring Dill to this office?"

Sure, but does Dill have anything to do with it?

"Nh, nm... I see...!"

Thus, Katima immediately left Ein's office.

Doubtful Ein left it unforgettable and encouraged her to go on duty, and an hour quickly passed.

It's about time, isn't it?

Ain looked at the door when she saw the clock.

Soon, the knocking rang.

Here you go.

In the blink of an eye, the door opens and Dill and Katima appear.

“I apologize, and thank you for the opportunity to report.”

(Reporting...?)

"What's the report?"

"... have you heard from Katima?"

I think so, but did you have anything to report to me?

Dill sighed deeply and deeply.

However, it was unusual for him to tell Katima.

While apologizing to Ain, he said, "I seemed nervous," and sheltered Katima in an unseen manner.

(What the hell?)

This atmosphere, this air.

For now, sit down.

"Hah! Excuse me!"

By the way, I've noticed something even more interesting now.

Dill's outfit was the Glacier family outfit, and her hair was more meticulously tailored than usual, so I could see the hardness in her movements without her mind.

Dill sat next to Katima, and the two looked at Ein after they had exchanged gazes.

"I-It's... you know..."

Katima was the same, but Dill was unusual and had bad teeth.

No, I want to apologize first!

"... er, apologize?"

"Ha! As a Glacier family member, I must apologize for making such a report...!"

(I don't know. I don't know what it is.)

In the meantime, Ain was somewhat puzzled to wait for Dill's words.

Continuing with Dill, who lowered her head in front of her, Katima saw that she did the same.

"... Katima may not be able to work as she did before the throne that you set aside next spring."

"I'm really sorry." So, but!I'll do my best to help you as much as I can! "

"Um, what do you mean? Could it be that Katima-san got sick or something?"

Ein's cheeks also began to feel nervous.

But they say it's not a disease.

You can't just run away.The two of you won't have to do that.

However, I did not know that the tension that still drifted would remain.

"Dill, you two came to me because you had a big story, didn't you?"

"... haa"

"Then I'd like you to tell me the main thing."Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side, so just tell me. ”

"Well then......"

Katima held Dill's hand.

Apparently, I'll leave it to his mouth.

And finally---.

"I want to report to you."

Dill always says with a masculine, powerful tone.

"There was a child between me and Katima."

He had a dozen seconds until Ein had recovered his composure when he heard the words.

Child, child... that is, the child of Dill and Katima.

By the way, he is the grandson of Lloyd and Martha, and from Ain he is a cousin.

"Kids!? The two of you!?"

"Nh, hahaha... it's shining..."

"It was only last week that I found out about this..."

"I know the situation!" But why did you apologize? Perhaps during the busy period of my reign, there will be less manpower? "

Katima and Dill nodded apologetically.

"No, no, no, no! Best of all, Katima-san said you should rest early!Dill, don't work too much overtime! "

Ein said in a panic, getting up and asking in astonishment.

I'm just checking it out, but you haven't reported it to Grandpa yet, have you?

"Ha. I thought I should report to your Majesty first, but your Majesty recently left the castle almost every day to do his official duties..."

So there was a week until the report.

The two of them got lost for a while and eventually decided to report in these places.

Is Katima's first appearance (,,) due to extreme tension?

(Grandpa's plans are for sure......)

He should come back to the castle for dinner.

Sylvard will continue to be busy with paperwork, but I don't know when I'll be able to report him, given his time.

(I wonder if you both should stay at the castle tonight.)

Ein calmed down his confidence and stepped forward beside the two of them.

And he knelt on the floor, and took the two hands, and spake the blessing.
