The year has changed and the continent has 434 years of experience. I enrolled in the Royal School High School Department and began to go to school.

They don't even know I'm a magician. Since ID cards are also official documents issued by the state, there is no doubt at all, and I live a normal student life.

As for the study I was worried about, in conclusion... it was pretty easy.

Immediately after entering the university, I took the exam and took the top position by pulling away the second place or less. I once again realized how blessed I was when I grew up.

Of course Aunt Kaori had a delicious meal. Aunt Aina was praised as the greatest sage in the history of the continent and was a living legend in this school.

That Aunt Eina and Aunt Eina are teachers, Dr. Lucrea says.

I was taught to study by two people who were supposed to be the best wisdom in the continent.

It was the best educational environment in the world I could ever hope for.

Aunt Aina certainly knew about it. Still, you sent me here not only to gain knowledge, but also to spread your knowledge.

I will respond to that favor. I went out with a lot of people, made friends, and had a lot of experience.

You can see all kinds of good and bad parts of people. I think you've grown me a lot by studying things I can't do on my desk.

... it was only in front of Nina that I called my friends home, and I solemnly did everything in my power.

---and a year has passed since enrollment.

Nina, who came to cook dinner while the King was busy with his work, uttered her words with a serious expression.

"Hey, Yomi. You don't want to be king of this country?

Too abrupt a word. I almost took off the fork that was stabbing my meat.

"... ah, hand it over to the king. Is that the king? The Queen's husband?

"Yeah, that's the king's mate."

"Sister, are you retiring the King?

I don't suppose you have any plans for that right now, and I don't have any heirlooms.

"... well, that's what makes me and my sister get married?

"That's what happens.... does Yomi hate me?

Soon my sister, who had been abandoning me, looked at me with a little glance.

--It was a little rough.

"Yes, no. Rather than hate it, I would rather thank you for taking care of me a lot. But...."

"But?

"No, well... I'm only six years old.

"But you're an adult, right? One year after you were born, you're 12 years old, and five years after that, you're 17, right? It's not weird to be married normally."

... I felt a little uncomfortable with the calculation, but my head couldn't point it out with a violent shake. I was desperate to grasp the current situation.

I learned martial arts and etiquette from Lina's mother. Aunt Aina gave me all kinds of knowledge and the number of tricks. I learned archery from Linne-sama and medicine and pharmacy from Dr. Lucrea. Yoichi's father and Aunt Kaori also taught me various miscellaneous studies.

From the best teachers in the world.

--But when I think about it, I don't remember anyone teaching me about love.

I don't know what to do with the situation I'm facing for the first time. Still, I try to say something.

"Well... isn't Nina the king of the land of the tribes? Isn't there a problem with a man like me who might be married to the Queen?

"That's not true, I'm an ex-slave if you talk about my hands. Yomi has been the head of the high school department at Royal School for the past year. There's been a lot of rumor about the greatness since the first king, Eina, and there are a lot of powerful people and businesses who are trying to keep things going right now."

"Eh... but not at all at my place..."

"Me and Listella are stopping it. Rather, because of that, there are rumours that the Queen is going to summon you, and that's all it really is."

"So, I'm sorry. It's very difficult to work for me as a king...."

"Yomi can do enough. I've seen it in the past year, but it's not bad for me to be able to do it except for my poor experience. I will fully help you with the part where you don't have enough experience, and I am asking Listella to cooperate. If you have to, you can get Einar-sama's support, and I don't think you'll be afraid of anything because Yoichi's father is holding back as a last resort."

... my sister says it's normal, but if you think about it carefully, this is a terrible thing.

The current King, who is to be praised for his excellence. Ancient kings who still have great influence and are feared. Plus, the continent's largest chamber of commerce's best talent.

It seems like you could do most of it with the help of just one person, but all three of them. It is said that all three major powers in this country will support it.

... I don't know, I already feel like I'm going to be working as a king even if it's a rat or a dinosaur.

Yoichi's father's support is not enough, but when it comes to trouble, will Sheila's sister come to King's Landing in the form of an ancient dragon?

... that's definitely the strongest in the world, no more questions asked. Even with all three powerful people, it would be so influential that they couldn't even put their teeth on it.

Yeah, I don't think I can say no from this side.

... or do I have to refuse this in the first place?

Honestly, why would my sister want me to be her partner? It must be because I am Yoichi's son who drew his blood.

But what do I think of Nina?

... from my memory, every time I came to the village from a young age, I was a kind sister who loved me.

Beautiful and smart. I've been watching my studies, and my father and aunt Eina have trusted me, and my mother and Aunt Kaori have trusted me. Everyone in the elf was friendly and had a very attractive smile.

I think I looked very shiny and had feelings like yearning.

And since I came to King's Landing. Seeing between the busy King's work, he was a kind man who cooked meals for me.

... while I think about it. Sister drops her gaze a little and utters words with a heartless or sad voice.

"... after all, don't you want to marry such an aunt? I'm 25 years old this year... or don't you want someone with a scar on your face?

"--No, no, no. I won't say no!

I'm in a hurry and I deny it out loud.

Twenty-five is certainly past the usual age of marriage, but my sister's appearance is still young, and she is not as beautiful as anyone else.

Originally, she looked much younger than her real age because of her childish face.

My sister cares about it. She had a lot of trouble wearing the eyelids on her left eye, but now she is wearing a calmly made one that was handmade by Aunt Kaori.

I've seen it under my eyelashes before. The burn (burn) marks from Dr. Lucrea's surgery are almost perfectly healed and there is nothing more than a wound.

However, only the left eye is cloudy and white. She still can't see it.

But that doesn't diminish your sister's charm.

... to me who thinks silently. My sister speaks like a fold.

"There's nothing hard about being a king. Except for occasional ceremonies, if you look around the castle, you can go to the city with patience and be free. You may continue to go to school if you wish. I can't do it every day because I have a king's job, but I'll cook you dinner once every three days."

"Dinner...."

--Dinner made by Nina's sister. The words sounded incredibly attractive to me.

It seems to me that Aunt Kaori raised me to be an unknown gastronomer. My sister's cooking in King's Landing was a gift.

Honestly, your sister's rice and the bottled food that Aunt Kaori sends regularly. If Linne-sama hadn't sent me dry fruit, I'd have been sick.

... when I was in the village of the big forest, I never thought I was so weak.

Lina spent three days in the woods practicing her mother. I had run around with only water and dried meat, so I thought it was also resistant to harsh environments.

But as far as I can tell, that dried meat was made by Aunt Kaori. The more I chewed it with moderate hardness, the more flavor it came out, with a hint of sweetness, tingling and spice, and it was delicious and could be eaten as much as it wanted.

They were served as a sake gift at the banquet.

Meanwhile, the real dried meat that I learned since I came to King's Landing is... It was hard enough to make a rattling noise when I hit it, and I couldn't stand my teeth as it was.

Do you want to spend a huge amount of time eating it by softening it little by little in your mouth? Take half a day to return it with water in advance and simmer it to make it harder to finally eat. The flavor was only salty, and it wasn't flavorful either.

― ― I was reminded that I was an ignorant person who was in a privileged environment.

For me or something like that. My sister spent a lot of time making meals for me.

I don't know. Just thinking about it is going to make me like it enough.

... if I could really catch up to starvation, I wouldn't be able to tell you what the taste would be like.

But sadly, I wasn't ready for that.

I continued to take care of my sister...

In retrospect, I taught Aunt Aina a lot about how to grasp people's hearts and how to attract allies.

It was the least pinky way to "grab my stomach" at that time, but I'm about to be caught in that way.

... but I didn't feel strange or bad.

It seems rather pleasant. I even felt like happy emotions were boiling up.

--When I realized the feeling, my answer hardened.

"Okay, I'd like to marry you.... but are you sure it's okay for me?

"Of course, it's Yomi, so it's fine! Thank you! - That way, I'll introduce you to everyone tomorrow, so I'll pick you up around lunch. Yoichi, I will contact your father, but you should let Yomi know. See you tomorrow!

Her sister danced her voice with joy and rushed back to the royal castle.

Leaving me alone, I thought vaguely about what just happened.

... I ate all the dishes and only the plates were lined up at the table.

A pot with lots of soup for tomorrow.

It was definitely this dish that tied me and my sister together. In that sense, maybe it was Aunt Kaori who really connected me.

I'm feeling a strange thing about the tour. I cleaned up the dishes and wrote to everyone in the village of the Great Forest...

And then Nina... no, Nina took the lead. Things got carried away with the thump.

It was introduced to the major towns of the country, including Listella and Faros. After various kinds of rooting, it was also published to the public.

Marriage between a queen and a student seems to have become a major topic throughout the country. It seems to have been conveyed to the general public that the marriage of the King, once determined by the parents and an instrument of political war, was carried out by free love.

Along with the former king of slaves, the abolition of nobility, and the abolition of elf slavery. Talked about as a symbolic event of the new era, it seems to be generally accepted favourably.

... after a grand wedding in King's Landing. In the name of being invited by our ancestors, we went to the Great Forest. I went to report to everyone in the village.

Yoichi's father, Lina's mother, Linne-sama and Dr. Lucrea's elves were all surprised to read the letter. Still, seeing us holding hands and greeting each other, he smiled and congratulated us.

Aunt Kaori seemed to have expected this somewhere. Saying to Nina, "Oniichan and I have now become parents and children," Nina said very happy with the words, "Yes! And he said,

By the way, Aunt Eina had been expecting this since she sent me to King's Landing. She looked at Nina and said, "Congratulations"...

Unlike the hard ceremony in King's Landing. Celebration in the woods proceeds in a pleasant atmosphere with a gentle atmosphere.

When Aunt Aina went to a ceremony in King's Landing as an ancestral king, she always looked sharply at her surroundings. The air was tingling and it was hard to breathe.

Now she has a soft smile like seeing a newborn kitten. She celebrates with her mother and drinks.

This is a familiar sight for me. When the people of King's Landing see it, they will rub their eyes until their eyelashes are cut.

Me too, by the way. It's been a long time since Aunt Kaori's cooking was eaten so much, I'm very happy.

And Mother Lina inspired me to say, "I will be the husband of His Majesty the King, so I will serve you well."

Yoichi told his father, "It feels strange for my daughter and son to get married, but I'm happy anyway. If anything happens, don't hesitate to come and talk to me. And they saw him off again, and returned to King's Landing.

... and help Nina with her work instead of going to school. They went to visit various parts of the country by themselves, or went out to the city with patience. I think I've gained more experience than ever before, and my horizons have widened even further.

By the way, Nina was wearing a gentle atmosphere when she was king, unlike when she was at home. Her gaze was sharp and dignified, and she even had an atmosphere that was difficult to get close to.

Like someone else, honestly, very cool. Seeing a new side, I fell in love again.

Nina has grown her cooking skills since she married me. Even though it's not as good as Aunt Kaori, I think it has become a master of three fingers in the continent.

Basically, you don't behave like someone. Sometimes Listella is present, so I think she's polishing her arms just for me. It was kind of illuminating, and I was happy.

--And since we got married, we naturally need to create a royal heir....

... I don't know what to say. When I first hugged Nina, my impression was, "It's small and soft."

I usually saw him behave brazenly as a king, so I had a bigger and more grand impression. Nina's body, which had slightly entered my arm, was much smaller than I expected. It was so thin and luxurious that it would break if I put my strength into it. It was soft and warm...

... that's why our relationship has been extremely good. Yoichi never talked to his father, and he was able to give him two boys and one girl within five years of marriage.

... but there are circumstances where such a happy life cannot last forever. Since I am a Magus, I have grown up overwhelmingly slower than the human race since I became an adult.

When I married Nina, I was in the second year of Royal School High School and I was 17 years old.

After five years, I have to be 22. There is no change in appearance at all.

Even when I was 17, I was told I looked a little younger, but 22 was getting really painful.

Nina and Listella did everything they could to put on makeup that looked older, but there were limits to that.

... so it was 440, the continental calendar, which has been five years since I got married. I fell ill and died suddenly, sneaking back to the village of the big forest.

I was lonely, but Listella secretly delivered the letter to me. Nina came to see me many times a year for the reason of 'meeting my ancestor'.

After the children grew up to a certain extent, I was able to watch the growth because the children who replaced them under the name of "educate my ancestors" were placed in the forest.

The children I was worried about grew up. According to Yoichi's father, he was in a state of "semi-majin", and he grew up a little faster than ordinary people, had a long young time, had high physical abilities, and had magic. It seems to have fallen within the range of no critical discomfort and is reassuring.

... 20 years have passed, 460 A.D.

Nina ceded the throne to her eldest son, who was 24 years old, and came to the village of the great forest under the name "Go to His Majesty King Eina."

After that, they will be able to live together again. The children occasionally came to see me, allowing me to slowly spend a peaceful and happy time.

I think it was a really happy day with Yoichi's father.

... almost 40 years have passed since such a dream, 497 A.D.

Nina has reached the end of her life as a human race, and at the last moment. He smiled and uttered a word to me as I was standing beside him and holding his hand.

"Yomi... thank you so much for everything. About Yoichi's father and Kaori's mother. About children and grandchildren. And please say hello to the Kingdom if you can spare me.... I was so happy to be your partner..."

Nina said that and took her breath gently...

... in retrospect, it's been more than 60 years since we got married. I never had a fight (quarrel), and it was so hard to remember anything but Nina's smile.

That day, since Lina's mother died. After spending the whole day crying, I realized once again how much I loved Nina...

... Nina's death was also the beginning of a turbulent era that followed the death of Aunt Kaori the following year and the end of Yoichi's father.

I tried to keep Nina's wish as good as I could, but I'm honestly not sure how much I could have done.

Even though Aunt Kaori had no choice because she was Tenju, she blamed herself a lot for what she could do about Yoichi's father.

For a moment, I was serious, and I thought I'd follow Nina and Dad.

If Aunt Eina, who was reaching the end of her life, hadn't said her last words strongly.

If my sister Kazuka hadn't supported me around (soba), I think she might have really done so....

... and now I am. He secretly watches the fate of his descendants and kingdom from the shadows to keep his last promise to Nina.

One of the great-grandchildren will be one of the heroes as a saint. It was very complicated to argue with Yoichi's father, but with Aunt Aina's secret intervention, they got married and lived quietly in the region.

The royal family still has me and Nina's descendants. Yoichi's father and Lina's children, who also draw their mother's blood, have been succeeding me forever.

I don't show up on the front. They secretly turn their hands from behind and work to maintain peace and tranquillity in the kingdom.

... when one day I'm at the end of my life. If a reunion with Nina is possible in the world of the dead, I will sit side by side again as before and tell you a lot about the events up until then.

Then Nina will smile again. As long as I live, I will keep my promise to Nina.

--I 'll see you someday. While dreaming of seeing a soft Nina smile...
