Ohanabatake no Maousama

The next day ... Kudels and Amoena were in front of a remote town.

It seems to be a fortified city in preparation for the raids of monsters pervading the frontiers, and the surrounding area is covered with thick stone walls. They had been waiting a long time in front of the gate, which was the entrance to the wall.

"I thought it was a big and wonderful place from afar, but when I actually came to it ... it was really painful. And it was boring." "Well, don't say that. They're also work," Kouders said. Glanced sideways, there was a guard who was turning over and inspecting Kuders' luggage. And the guard also makes a meaningful glance at Girari and Kudels.

"But you're not doing anything wrong? There shouldn't be anything you can't bring in." "Yes, I'm not doing anything bad ... I am." With such a smile, the guard caught a small curse.

As you may have guessed, the prolonged checking of luggage is due to Kudels not bribing guards. He usually picks up his belongings with difficult habits, but if there is something he wants, Kudels, who procures locally each time, can not carry around valuable things, and there is no luggage content that is useful. That is why property inspection is prolonged as harassment.

The other guards tried to cover Amoena's clothes in the name of a physical examination, but the guards were suddenly attacked by a mysterious athlete's foot and dragged to a pharmacy, so they were no longer on the scene. . It was a strange coincidence.

That's why their fight was already stalled. Of course, the front of the gate is crowded with people waiting for the proceedings, and their frustration has begun and the battle has begun to lead to Kuders' victory. There is, however, a risk that Amoena may be in a bad mood.

Did it just pass for about two hours?

"... Hey, let's go." The guard who gave up finally gave his permission. The surroundings are likely to see a heat haze due to the anger of the people who have been waiting. After this, there will probably be some agony. It is not an illusion that tears are floating in the gatekeeper's eyes staring at Kudels.

"Yes, I'm having a hard time. . And if you stretch a lot while shrinking, you will put Kudels and walk quickly.

Amoena walks gracefully like a strolling cat, with a bitter smile at Coudels, but the moment she walks through the gate and sees the sight behind it.

"Wow, amazing! Big city! For the first time in such a place !!" Amoena opens his eyes wide and starts running fast. There were many bright tents under the blue sky, stalls selling various products, or travel entertainers competing on the street. Amoena cannot hide her excitement in the hustle and bustle of a festival.

… But it's a story about the world from Amoena, and for Kudels it was just like a normal market. Well, it's still prosperous despite being in such a remote area.

"Yes, don't run, Amoena-san. You're not old enough to fall and get injured, but don't you know if you get lost?" If you seem to say that, you are still a child. ''

Amoena relentlessly swells her cheeks as she is laughed and tanned by Kouders. It's just a child's reaction.

"Well! Don't say that! There's no mean guy!" "Well, that's a problem ... how can I regain my honor?"

Coudels joked with a bitter smile, but when Amoena became serious, she told Bosori with a lower voice.

"Oh, you can't see it?" "It's not that good." "That's not enough."

"Well, don't be such a crying face because you're kidding. You're a good adult? ... I mean, she's just a lip, but she's so gritty and expressive." Being able to realize your emotions while hiding is a bit of a Kudels feat. You can't do that even if you want to. I am not conscious of it.

"Well, what should I do? It's a classic, but still a present?" While saying so, Amoena's gaze wanders around the accessories stalls on the street.

Perhaps unconsciously ... Her hand was touching her nape, and her fingers were combing her ragged hair. ――Maybe you want a hair ornament?

A woman of this era who likes to tie her hair up when she goes out and tie it up with a beautiful shackle, but she doesn't even care for Amoena's hair, who fled the slave traders. Gloss At the same time, a woman wearing a flowery hair ornament next to Kudels passed by.

――Ah, isn't this painful? If you look, Amoena's eyes are definitely following the woman's hair. Judging by that decision, Kouders decided to buy a hair ornament for her in order to return her stigma.

"Okay. So, do you buy any accessories to commemorate your first visit to the city?" "Really !? Great! Kudels! Stunning! Kudels!" Hug on the arm. It was a very cash attitude, but now she is adorable and honest.

――It's a good person. At the same time as muttering in my heart, Kudels realizes that the true nature of her talent is to be delighted with all her heart. Cause would be so? If you can show such a carefree smile, you can't be happy.

"Yes, yes. Where should I go? I don't want to go too high because of the tightness of my hand." "I don't have the money?" Kudels smiled at his open-minded attitude.

"I don't usually use it so much." Perhaps there is a way to make money.

"Well, Kudels will buy it, so I'll give you a cheap price, but I'll take the time to make that choice, so be prepared?" "Yes, just as I tell you"

Until dusk, she chose a poor woodcarving hair ornament. But later, Kudels regrets that he could only buy it at this time.
