It was hard yesterday.

I wish I had gone fishing for magic trout in the lake, but I didn't think there was a lord of magic trout in the lake.

I caught a magic trout the size of a tuna and got away while I was upset.

Indeed, the fish that was missed was huge.

However, the regular magic trout itself was able to fish properly, so the referee was carefully selected on the way home? Me and Rifa, who bought the meat and were ready to welcome Chisato, were gathered in the castle today to wait for Chisato to come on a carriage.

Quite a crowd.

"Hmm, the brave men of the neighboring country are coming. People will come together."

Look at the street from the castle gate with the Shif on his shoulder.

There are more people than usual on the boulevards that can be seen from the castle gate to see the brave man of the kingdom of Filgen, Chisato.

Looking at those people, the neighbor Reefa pointed a distance away.

"Kate, is that it?"

Yeah?

A carriage dragged by a large magic horse came from the end of the street.

It's a familiar carriage, definitely from the Kingdom of Filgen.

When the carriage stops in front of us, the person who was manipulating the magic horse respectfully opens the carriage door slowly and a brown-haired girl emerges from inside.

Dressed in a travel robe, Chisato smiled happily when she noticed me and Rifa.

"Hey, kite-kun, leafa. How have you been?"

It's as distinctive as ever.

But I think that's who she is.

Me and Rifa greet each other, and she opens her eyes to us.

"Nh"

"... what's wrong?"

"Reunion Hug"

No, why?

Why a Western-American knob?

But the people of the city who saw it are scrambling.

I can't...! I can't read Chisato's intentions at all, but as it stands, there will be another unspoken Shuraba rumor.

"Leaf, please."

Huh?

Mugu

"Hmm!?"

Push the leaning referee forward and hug it with a chisato.

Hugging Chisato and screaming from a girlish leaf.

It's not a hug, it's a sabbatical. While wondering, he guided Chisato back to Jessica while supporting the weakened Rifa.

"So, what now? Why the sudden hug?"

"I also want you to be a Shura owner....."

"I'm sorry, let me just say, what the hell are you talking about?"

What do you want me to do to endure that dishonorable nickname coming to my neighbor?

Chisato has been a bit strange for a while, but this is a mystery at last.

"Kate, you've become my servant."

Ah.

"Then I think I should be treated the same way."

What the hell are you talking about?

"Mm...!"

"Whoa, Reefa, don't try to hang out."

Hold down the referee who tries to come forward with a unique squeal while making the same clicking.

* giggle *, I don't have enough hands on my own...!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm going to take some more damage. [M]

"Ah, haven't seen you in about two months?"

"Yeah, looks like you guys had a lot going on. You can go to the gold, you can finally be announced as a brave man."

"No, it's been tough."

Reefa nods like she nods to my words. [M]

Fighting Rick and Snow and discovering who we are as brave men and servants made it difficult for us to be celebrities at once.

Now I'm used to it, but that's how I always feel around me during the day.

"And about the Beast of God."

I nodded to Chisato, who was speaking so quietly.

She must have heard that I was captured by the Beast---Mélia.

UMA loves her, but she can't possibly be interested.

Keep talking as you walk, making sure no one around you is listening.

"Kate, what was the beast that grabbed you?"

"I haven't seen it, but I think it's probably a big snake."

Hee, snake.

A mural I found a few miles away from Melia.

Her thoughtful painting on it was a serpent that slept deep underground.

I don't know how huge it is.

However, from her own recollection, it must have been huge enough to exceed one city.

And you know what Merliah is talking about? A little white snake, Yuran, pops out of my chest pocket.

"Shiar!"

Mum? Kite, where is she?

"Yuran, my new wizard. It's a little special monster."

"May I touch it?"

"Go ahead."

Once I put Yuran in my palm, I'll give it to Chisato. [M]

When Chisato reaches out, Yuran moves from my hand to her.

Yuran rang one more time as he stretched out his white, supple torso and looked up at Chisato with his small head.

"Shah!"

"Cute"

"Is Chisato a reptile or something?"

Chisato answers Rifa's question with a smile.

"Because I'm a believer."

"Really... hmm?"

Wait, is that why reptiles are okay?

But the truth is, Chisato seems fine with Yuran on his palm.

"Why was Chisato there?"

"Me? I was... uh, helping Behemoth restore the nature he destroyed, or training in magic."

"Magic training."

We trained for the promotion exam, but yours is quite different from ours. [M]

I suppose it's getting stronger because of her qualities.

"You're about to meet the queen of this country."

"That's right. I don't really care about details, so I'm not that nervous."

"How does it feel compared to Serge-sama?"

"I wonder if the distance is close... You might be confused at first."

I'm used to it now, but at first I was confused.

Shifu is always held in sight.

"They always serve me sweets. Good man."

"Kate-san, my perception of Rifa as the queen is of my neighbor's sweet grandmother....?"

As usual, you don't have to worry about it.

Reefer is the one who does it when he does it.

As you walk with Yuran on your palm, you reach Jessica's hall room.

There was Jessica sitting on the throne prepared for the guards in front of the door to check and then let her through.

She smiled elegantly when she saw us entering the hall.

"Fufufu, you're the brave chisato. I'm Jessica, for a short time, but I welcome you."

"Yes, yes."

……?

It's quite different from the first impression I saw. [M]

Jessica... are you wearing a cat because you're a brave opponent of another country...?
