Mochiron, Isharyōseikyū Itashimasu!
I didn't know you were lonely.
It was in the early summer of a glorious day that the queen called me to tea.
"Aren't you lonely these days, too, Julius? Is that about a letter from Rudnik?
For the first time, I knew that His Highness was going somewhere in the queen's words.
"What kind of letter..."
"If you're going to be away for three months, you won't hit a bee saying you sent out a letter or so! Hey."
It was the first time I knew I hadn't been here for three months.
Your Highness, I'm sorry I didn't realize.
"But surely, since it looks like Julius took a bunch of canned cookies that she developed, don't you have any trouble eating them? I wonder what Julius is developing right now?
Speaking of which, His Royal Highness had ordered a large number of emergency cookie cans (extremely strong) developed for military use three months ago.
His Royal Highness would be submitting a report when he returned.
"We are now developing fireworks to launch on National Day"
"Well, you know, it's hard to say..."
"Yes."
The queen frowned and said as if she was in trouble.
"You know what? On this anniversary, we're supposed to invite important members of the Beast Clan. Look, the Beasts are so bad at the sound of fireworks because they have good ears. So the fireworks can't be launched."
Oh, my God.
Isn't the plan ruined because of it?
Right, I've never met anyone from the Beast clan, but are they ears good?
There's so much I don't even know.
I don't know anything about the Beasts, in particular.
"Rudnik just went to the land of the Beasts."
Then you might want to ask a lot of questions when His Highness returns.
What is the specialty of the Beast Clan?
The queen laughed at the couscous that I was working on my next idea.
"Julius, are you having fun?
"... Yes"
"You didn't realize Rudnik wasn't here."
I accidentally shut up because I was stuck with a picture.
"I'm sure Rudnik didn't want to worry about Julius."
"Are you worried?
"The kingdom of the Beasts is not secure. You're worried that Julius will be anxious to say that she's going to be there because she's in every country."
Probably not.
Your Highness didn't tell me because he knew I wanted the right to import souvenirs and specialties.
Was I feeling something missing lately because His Highness didn't have the scratch?
If I don't think His Highness is here, it's strange that I feel kind of lonely.
"Do you miss me, Julius?
"... well, yeah"
"If Julius told you she missed you, Rudnik, I'd be delighted."
"Is it?
The queen laughed again at Couscous when I beheaded her.
"Julius, when Rudnik returns, say 'I missed Master Rud' and see, because Rudnik is sure to get all the fatigue from his sailing trip! Look, practice. Say it."
Does that make you tired of your sailing trip?
"... His Highness is not here"
"No, no, no!" Master Rudd said, "that's a point for her!
"Oh, really?
I said after I coughed one up.
"Ru, I missed Master Rudd..."
I'm embarrassed to say something.
"Lovely!! So Rudnik is mellow on Julius!
It was kind of a tea party where the queen would gallivate her spiritual strength.
