Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

Cain came back, too, and when I started to think I could finally get my usual routine back.

The royal castle was finally getting close. I was very busy preparing for Fried's wedding.

No, instead of being busy, we're all killing ourselves somewhere.

The wedding is the end of this month, but actually, this month is also Fried's birthday month.

Birthday of the heir prince.

Usually there is a celebratory night club or so, but this time the wedding is close, and it was decided to have the wedding and birthday celebration together more than before.

Thanks to this, the civilians in charge and the faces of the Kingsguard Knights in charge of security had become so busy that their eyes turned. That's the same in the kitchen, of course, and they're all desperate shapes.

I've also been quite busy reconfirming the ceremonial procedures and looking through the attendance roster, but rarely have anything planned for this afternoon.

That's what I was invited to do, and I was going to go visit Mr. Derris at his house.

"Permission was granted from Prince Wang. He said he'd be home by dinner time."

"Yes."

Fried gave me a light permit because he had told me he was going to Mr. Derris' house for a long time.

Get Cain to use his secret tricks to sneak out of the castle. Cain's secret tricks were very much appreciated because you can't let the castle soldiers find you where you're leaving.

Fly to the entrance to town, then walk us both to Mr. Derris' house.

Since Fried recognized the existence of Cain, I am very pleased that he has allowed me to walk outside freely. When I said that to Cain, he said, "That's different," with a straight face.

"My presence has nothing to do with it. The princess can let me go outside because I'm definitely friends with Prince Wang in both thoughts. I can only forgive that king prince because I can afford it. Definitely."

"I guess..."

"You don't have to worry about it, do you? Because it's true that I fell in love with the princess. You'll never do anything the princess hates."

I twisted my neck as I listened to Cain laughing that it was okay.

"... I don't think I'll ever hate Fried"

"... you see, so I figured I wouldn't have to worry"

I meant it, but Cain gave me a frightened voice back.

The two of us go straight for Mr. Derris' house.

I really would have preferred it to a curry store, but I decide to give up today. I'm not serious about slowing down poorly and worrying about Freed.

Besides, Fried could come with me at the curry store, so I thought I could ask him out next time.

Then it's my first date in a long time. I'd also like to go around the date spot that I recently had. Cain said in a shuddering voice, thinking about what kind of place to walk with Fried.

"... Princess, what are you nibbling at? Disgusting."

"... Shut up. I was just thinking."

"You mean Prince Wang anyway."

……

I was told the right answer all the time, and I whispered.

... How did you figure that out?

"When you're thinking about Prince Wang, it's mostly princess, isn't it? It's time for you to feel a little bit more conscious, huh?

"... oops"

I didn't ask, but the answer came back. But if Cain's story is true...... it's a hugely embarrassing story. I had no consciousness at all, but was it so slight?

As Peppy tapped her own cheek, Cain said with a laugh.

"I think we should stop because it's useless to think about it.... Oh, here we are."

Through the secret path that leads to Mr. Derris' house. Walking through the usual jaws, I saw the pharmacist sign in the distance.

I tried to knock on the door of a small wooden house, but before that the door opened on its own.

I know it means come in, so I don't hesitate to go inside.

"Hello, Mr. Derris"

"Long time no see, Liddy. Come here."

"Yes."

I grabbed the railing in front of me and spoke downstairs, my little eyes and gaze as I looked up at this one.

Just say hello, down the stairs. Cain also arrived behind me in silence.

The smell of a unique herb smells strongly when you go down below. Today's scent smells somewhat like a neat mint.

Walking to where Mr. Derris was, she narrowed her eyes and laughed.

"Oh, you look good."

"Yes, thanks to you. Long time no see. Sorry I haven't been here much lately."

"You don't have to worry about it because you don't think I'm being unethical about anything else. You're going to be Princess Wang, too. There will be more busy things to come."

"... Yes"

"Look, don't stand there. Sit down."

Cain and I sat in our usual seats and a beautiful green tea was served.

I was ready to drink it as usual... but what a normal cup of tea it was today. Or green tea.

Definitely. Because my tongue tells me this is green tea.

"... Mr. Derris. This."

When asked by surprise, Mr. Derris laughed adept.

"Pretty good stuff, huh? It's a little different from herbal tea, though. I was able to accidentally do it when I was formulating the medicine. I thought you might like it, too. Besides, I don't think it's going to fit your sweets."

"Yes, I think that would be great."

Because that's why I was going to develop green tea.

"Uh. Maybe it goes well with this..."

As I said, I handed Mr. Derris a box with sweets. Today's souvenir was watered down.

The season has changed and it's getting a lot warmer, so I thought this might be a good idea, but would it suit Mr. Derris' mouth?

By the way, I rented a corner of the kitchen to make it sneaky, but everyone was busy having a heated argument about flavoring the wedding menu and didn't even seem to realize what I was making.

I snuck it in the ice room, so I'm going to try it with you when I seem to have time again.

"This is a softer version of the lamb Cain asked me to give it to you before...... uh, less cold weather...... or anyway, it's a kind of lamb. I hope what I gave you before fits your mouth."

"Oh, that was delicious, too."

"Oh, good. It's delicious if you let it cool down a bit."

Apparently he liked the lamb too and was horrified.

Mr. Derris opens the box with pleasure.

"Wouldn't it be nice to look cool? If cooling is better... sora"

"Wah..."

Mr. Derris rings one finger. That's all the chilling air drifted out of the box.

Cain sitting next to me tells me like he was stunned.

"... awesome - a waste of magic"

"I have a lot of magic anyway. You won't mind."

That said, Mr. Derris was pleased to remove the watermelon and put it on a plate he had brought from the next room. Add back the tea as well, and the three of us will chew on the water.

"... good"

"Oh, good."

Looks like they liked this one too. Don't worry, I'll carry the watermelon into my mouth too.

Mr. Derris' magically limp lamb was palatable and quite well done while I was there.

"Oh, me, I prefer this one to regular lamb"

Cain looks happy next door. When I had green tea with you, I dusted my feelings.

...... hmm. But I didn't expect Mr. Derris to make green tea first.

Although I'm happy to be able to have a delicious cup of tea, I can't just spread what Mr. Derris has made in the country on his own. In the meantime, I decided to put green tea behind me.

"I'm glad Cain seemed to like it too. Sometimes it's good."

"Because all the sweets you bring are excellent. I'm looking forward to it."

"I'm glad. Thank you."

As a maker, I'm really happy to get praised for letting go.

Especially since I've been looking after Mr. Derris from time to time, I hope I can give him back a little.

"Ah."

I was obsessed with eating with it and forgot to tell you about Andre.

I put the fork down and correct my posture before telling Mr Derris.

"Mr. Derris. Um, thank you. The medicine Mr. Derris gave me for Fried. It worked great. Fried was delighted that he was able to help a lot."

Since then, Andre has been regularly drugged by Mr. Derris.

Especially since Andre seems to lose his magic with side effects, it's very effective in containing the runoff.

"Fine. Because I did that to you. You can use it as you like. I didn't think it would do much good, but it seems to have helped with the side effects."

"Yes, I'm surprised you're going to lose your magic"

"If I have to, I'll give it to you again. Tell me then."

"Thank you"
