Aoi or Shiro. Plus a few days after I invited Olivia to Mullet City. Claire called me to the office.

When I showed my face that way, besides Claire already there, Aoi and Shiro were waiting.

"You two were both summoned by Claire hey?

"Oh, to tell you more about immigration."

Aoi answers my question. What that content means...

"Oh well. You made up your mind to immigrate to the city of Mullet, didn't you?

"Everyone's persuasion comes after we get back to the village, though. I can convince everyone with confidence."

"That's good"

Naturally, I can convince you that Aoi liked this city. It is also close to the day to add Inumimi clerks to the Foot Water Maid Cafe.

"So, brother. I'd like to go back to the Zaccanian Empire and ask you to support immigrants and negotiate with Zaccania after immigration is over."

"Of course that is. I'll take it to the end when I get here. Or Olivia will have to deliver it properly and responsibly."

"Thank you. That's quick and bad, but I'm going to take you all -"

"- Wait, Claire, sister!

It was Shiro who accidentally raised his voice. My adorable Inumimi daughter is staring at Claire with her eyes ready to do something.

I mean, Claire, your sister... you're getting along a lot again.

"Shiro, what's wrong?

"You know what? We've been living a cramped life in the woods, so I really appreciate your sister Claire and brother Lion. So I want to stay in this city and help."

"I'm glad you feel... Shiro, are you okay not to go back inside?

Claire Hey asked, Aoi, not Shiro. Aoi, who got that gaze, said, "You're coming back here anyway. I'm fine because I'm going back inside," he replied.

"Mm-hmm. If that's the case, why don't you let me stay? I want to hear the views of the Inumimi in building the house, and on the contrary, I want the Inumimi to know our customs."

- And well, that's how Shiro's residue was decided.

"Is that okay with you, brother?

"I'm all right... is Shiro all right?

"Oh, what are you talking about?

"No, Shiro seems to love being moffed."

About a week after I sent Shiro to see her again in the woods. So that's how it goes. Now it's going to take a month or so, and I'm a little worried - I can't believe I thought Shiro replied by the way that it's going to be okay.

"Really?

"Yeah. 'Cause Sister Claire, she's as good as Brother Lion....... uhh. Lion, you're better at mopping than your brother!

"What, what..."

Incredible thoughts, squeezing in squeezing voices. But...

"It's delicate, it feels so good."

Shiro smiles so innocently. I can't see a lie there. I mean, Shiro is serious and thinks you're better at moffing Claire than I am.

It's, like, a kind of bedtime thing - no.

"Claire hey took a moff..."

I collapsed into a carpet.

- With disappointment, I returned to the Zaccanian Empire.

No, well, it's been weeks since then. I'm just getting back on my feet, though. In the first place, Shiro said after that, 'Um. Lion, your brother's somewhat forceful Moffmoff feels awesome too!' Cause you said so, Claire. I don't care that you lost to him.

I don't care. I don't care.

Anyway...

Harbor outside the city of Vek. I was coming to drop Alice off on the boat.

In the weeks since then, the Inumimi immigrants have progressed quickly and a ship carrying the last Inumimi is about to depart.

Of course, there were a lot of problems, but there's also information that hard-line people who heard about immigrants are moving. That's why I prioritized speed before I was disturbed.

For that reason, I call out to Alice to be careful.

"Thank you. If you send everyone from the Inumimi tribe to the continent of Liselheim, you'll bring Liz back."

"Oh, I'll be waiting."

Once you have finished immigrating the Inumimi, the next step is your alliance with the Zaccanian Empire. For this reason, Liz - Lieselotte, the princess of Liselheim, is to hold a signing ceremony in the Imperial City.

Liz should be on her way to the port on Spiel territory by now. So Alice, who finished transporting the Inumimi, plans to bring Liz on that leg.

"Well, I'll be there!

Alice entered the ship with momentum and the ship sailed quickly. I dropped the ship off.

... Well. This brings an end to the Inumimi immigration... but also the buyback of the Inumimi sold as slaves and the search for a girl who told Elf's daughter that she had helped Shiro.

Of course Acorn is looking into it, and I'm looking into it while I'm immigrating, but I still don't have any information that sounds like it.

Until Alice got back, let's do some more research - how dare you, Sophia, who stayed with me, ran up to me and said, "Brother Lion - eh".

"Sophia, what's wrong? - Hey, no!

Like Shiro every time, Sophia comes in without showing the sleigh that slows down. I panicked and spiritual witchcraft slowed down Sofia - avoided!?

"Hey, Sophia!?

We were dropping off the ship to the brink, so right behind us is the sea. You can't avoid it by mistake. I'm ready to take Sophia.

There was no shock like I had imagined. What the hell did you do, Sophia slowed down after almost zero distance. It fluttered in my arm.

"Eh heh, surprised?

"... I really need you to stop because I'm in a hurry"

Blah, on a level that even made me ready to fall into the ocean with Sophia.

"But you were thrilled with Sophia, weren't you?

"I was thrilled, but something's different"

"No, it's not. Alice, your sister said it. Humans can only distinguish the thrill of love and fear in that circumstance -"

"... Alice again"

Incidentally, it is a so-called suspension bridge effect.

In this case, it's predictable that I was thrilled by the fear that I might fall into the ocean, but what I'm thrilled about right now is that I can't tell my unconsciousness if I'm dragging my earlier fear, or if I'm thrilled that Sophia is holding me.

If you think consciously...... it would be both.

"Anyway, so much running, what can I do for you?

"Yeah. I just got a letter from the Imperial Palace asking you to hurry up and show your face"

"... in a hurry?

"Yeah. He said he was in a hurry. I don't think he knew what was going on."

"I'm not sure... but if that's the case, why don't you go"

It's evening for Alice and the others to come back. I'm a day late for departure even if I wait. That's why I asked Elsa to give me a message and Sophia and I decided to take a carriage one foot to the Zaccanian Empire.

- That's how I got there, three days later, before dusk. - What, it was before noon the following day that I was allowed a glimpse of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Excuse me, Master Lion. I'm gonna keep you waiting."

Olivia apologized as she walked down the hallway between the sights.

I didn't mean to say it as soon as possible... I don't know, but there must be some kind of situation. I accept your apology if you don't get angry at me for that much.

"With that said, Alice, your sisters will arrive this afternoon, won't they?

"Right. If I'd left the next morning, that would be about it."

Next to me, I answered Sophia's question, who was walking opposite Olivia.

"Princess Liezelotte is coming too, isn't she? What kind of person are you?

"Oh... I was in the city of Mullet, didn't Olivia see you? Right... gentle with a serene personality, beautiful princess singing... I guess."

She's an amazing twister, but - I added without saying it out loud.

"The fame of the singing princess also reaches this continent. I look forward to seeing you now."

"Oh well..."

That's it. Don't break Olivia's fantasy, Liz's twisted daughter will do everything in her power to hide it. Most of all, if I'd known my true nature, I might have been intimated that I was a beloved twisted daughter.

While I was thinking about it, I arrived at the sight of it.

"As you have reported, we have swept the Inumimi tribe, who are obedient to the Zaccanian Empire, from this continent."

During the sight of the great banner of the Zaccanian Empire, I finished talking about this backdrop.

I said sweep - but it was all the Inumimi immigrants who actually went. It is far from the original meaning that the hardliners said.

But... His Majesty the Emperor must have already taken root. Around half of them bothered, and those who would probably be moderates are flat.

Thus, His Majesty the Emperor, who had finished listening to me, opened his mouth strictly.

"Count Lyon, you've solved a lot of problems that my country has had for years. Now the suspicion that Liselheim is a weak and small country is cleared."

His Majesty the Emperor unequivocally affirms.

But...

"Wait, Your Majesty!

There was a voice that broke in unexpectedly. The Lord of the Voice is - a middle-aged man wearing a Ferminarian robe. I met him before I last saw him, the Pope of Ferminalism - Linus.

He knelt next to us against His Majesty the Emperor.

"The story of sweeping away the Inumimi is a means to prove Liselheim's force in the first place. The trick of immigrating everyone is worthy of evaluation, but it doesn't prove force."

"Right. But it was advocated by General Kent, none other than to admit it if swept away, and everyone agreed with the idea. His Holiness the Pope must have heard of it."

"That's... yes. No way, I never dreamed I'd have such a means. The..."

"His Holiness Pope Linus. This matter is the result of approval by all of us. I will not tolerate dissent."

"... cum. Or, yes, I did."

Attitudes that are likely to hear a rinse and a toothpick. But the Pope, one of the hardliners, shook his head vertically.

No one else seems to complain, and this would carry things smoothly. That's when I thought that - Sophia stood up in a lot of ways.

"... Sophia?

What are you thinking about standing up all of a sudden even though you are in the middle of a glimpse with His Majesty the Emperor?

I think so and try to stop it. But only moments earlier, Sophia grabbed the Pope's arm kneeling next door - hitting the floor with jujitsu guidelines.

... No, no, no, no! What the hell are you doing? This is our neighbor's view, and the guy who threw it away is the biggest religious group on this continent!?

What a heartfelt panic, but too surprised to have a voice. And I guess that's the same for the others. It is frozen between glances.

And...

The flag of the Zaccanian Empire, which had been adorned during the sight, shocked the Pope thrown away or caught by someone surprised by the sight.
