Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

◇ ◇ ◇

- Voting day.

Early in the morning, with Fried, I went one step further to the square where the vote was due to take place.

Somehow I woke up early and couldn't sleep. It was in the form of Fried hanging out with me wanting to go for a walk.

The two of us walk through town. People are sparse because of the early hours of the morning, and they are so different from people who walk and jog from time to time. From the bakery, it smells good to bake bread.

At the end of the boulevard, reach the square.

There were already two ballot boxes set up in the planned location to coin in, side by side. There are many soldiers deployed around it in a strict state of precaution.

"Morning."

"Good morning! Your Highness, Your Highness!

Speaking to the soldiers, they noticed us and came back to greet them with the most salute.

Fried asks them.

"Have you hung up this morning since last night and seen anyone suspicious?"

There can't be such a person. That's what I thought, but what returned was an unexpected answer.

"In the middle of the night, there are five like a broken door. I've come for the ballot box. We have fought back and captured them in self-defense."

"... Huh? You came after the ballot box?

"Yes."

"I don't know what you were going to do with this stuff"

I thought you'd do something because it's about the wire, but I don't know what that means. Leaning his neck, one of the soldiers said.

"I questioned him on the spot and he said he was ordered to do special finishes on the ballot box. Currently, we are locked in a jail cell in the jail. We are scheduled to be transported to the castle in the afternoon... Your Highness, would you like to confirm?

Fried, who asked for instructions, said to them with a stern face.

"No, I don't need it. Delivery is good as planned in the afternoon. Did they name the wire?

"No. They themselves didn't seem to know who their employer was. He just said he got a lot of money, so he did it."

"I see. Did you do a small amount of work that you couldn't possibly have done? By the time they come after the ballot box, it's obvious who did it."

"... right? But I told you to compete squarely... Didn't the contenders not lie about winning and losing?

Disappointing.

Even though the basics are crumbs, I'm like an idiot for believing that you'll do well there because it's a battle.

"Ugh, I'm suddenly worried. Mr. Wire, you'll keep your word, won't you? Talking about never getting close to Wang Du again if I win, I'd just be in trouble if they lied to me until then..."

I don't know what I got the fight for anymore.

I'm anxious, Fried said.

"It's okay, because if Liddy wins, I'll make him absolutely protect it. I won't let you rebel against my promise to be my queen. So don't worry about Liddy. Good luck to the end."

Anxiety quickly dissolves in the words of a reliable husband.

"Thanks. But I don't have anywhere else to work on. Because today it's just a vote."

I did everything I could. All you have to do is leave your luck to heaven and pray.

The time for the showdown was approaching an instant.

◇ ◇ ◇

At noon, at the same time, the vote begins.

The square was full of overflowing people. Everyone puts the coins handed out into the ballot box of thoughts.

I and Wire stood behind the ballot box as representatives of the store and watched that, but less than half an hour after the ballot began, I was stunned by the sight.

- Almost everyone is putting coins in my shop box.

"... Huh? What do you mean?"

Like this, you don't have to look at the results, the wins and losses are obvious.

When I looked next door to Chirali, the less angry or the fat body of the wire was shaking in small pieces.

"Oh, um... are you okay?

"Hey, why...!

"Wow, Mr. Wire?

All of a sudden, I shout out to surprise at the wire I shouted. Wire pointed to me and told me to be the gathered ones.

"You guys! Wasn't it scattered, in my shop, eating delicious food and food? Yet I don't know how to vote for this little girl!! I'm not convinced!!"

It was a bright red, angry wire on my face, but I agree with that.

Wire stores were queued day after day. I don't think everyone likes Japanese sweets. Even the customers who fell in love with Irvern cuisine must have had a lot of them.

And yet, that's what makes me suspect injustice, such as almost everyone voting for my store.

Of course, although I'm sure no one at my store would do that, I couldn't help but suspect that there had been some kind of manipulative move.

"Because I'm scared..."

"Huh?"

The potpourri and zero were about ten years old boys who had just finished voting. The boy was drawn to his mother, but when he realized the wire was looking at him, he rushed to hide behind his mother.

That's how I only show my face and say it in a whisper.

"This guy's shop, at night, I hear him yelling at me every day. It's a little far from my house and I can still hear it. Every day, every day, they ask me that, and I don't think I'm going to vote for it no matter how good it is."

"Become!"

Keep an eye out for the wire as surprised. The boys' words were received and those who had already finished voting were in tune.

"That's right. I heard that voice, too."

"I heard from a friend."

"I saw the scene yelling. The cook wasn't on the level of pity."

"I heard the sound of violence."

"Me too."

One after another, everyone accuses the wire of rambling and violence. The wire, I guess, didn't think it was known. I was stiffening my body with surprise.

"... you're all looking at it unexpectedly."

"Cain?"

Cain, who was a little behind me as an escort, said posoli. Ask just what it means and your gaze.

"The princess said it was nothing good, but the truth is, I'm really curious, I've been to the wire store for a few recons. So, I saw."

"Saw what?

I had predictions but couldn't help but ask. Cain says it clearly without clouding the words.

"Wire's, violence and rambling against the cooks"

"Huh!"

Breathtaking by accident.

"I think I regretted losing to the princess's shop. Apparently it's been there since the first night. Why can't I get results when I've brought him in with high money... Poor chef over there, he's been blaming me for a long time and he looks like he's gonna cry..."

……

"That goes on every day. The princess wouldn't have noticed her shop desperately, but the wire store, in fact, was getting a little less customers every day. You know why?

"... I don't know"

I really didn't get it. When I look at Cain's face, he looks nasty.

"Every day, all night, you get yelled at, you get violent, right? Your strength can't last. Wire store. The only thing that tasted good was the first couple of days, and the rest was getting worse and worse, and it was rumored along with violence."

……

"You don't want anyone to go to a store like that, do you? On the contrary, everyone smiles whenever the princess goes. It looks fun to work with and even the original recipe is rare. Go, you're having fun. I think it's natural for everyone to vote for the princess."

"That's what..."

I can't hide my shock that acts such as violence and rambling were being committed where I don't know.

Sure enough, the wire didn't work wrongfully. He thinks it's black-sided grey against a broken door, but there's no evidence, and he didn't do anything visibly fraudulent.

But I didn't think I could do this any more than that.

The people in town say to the wire.

"None of us will vote for your store. I don't want people like you in our town. We will follow Lady Lydiana with care so that we can all enjoy ourselves!

"Lady Lydiana...?

The wire that was burning in anger gave a bewildered look. Seeing it, I understand that he has yet to realize that I am the Crown Princess.

It's a wire that everyone hates so far. I guess no one really told him about me.

Come on, I thought I'd better name it from myself, and I heard voices coming from behind people.

"That's it! The outcome of the battle is clear. There is still voting time, but this battle, to be won by the Wah Cafe side!

"Ah, brother."

The Lord of the Voice was my brother. Almost all of this event was partitioned by my brother, so in a way it appears as expected, but it's a lot quicker than I thought.

My brother drew out the crowd and laughed niggardly as he stood in front of the wire.

"Hey. Wire. Long time no see."

"... Vivoir's Little! You, why...!

Wire looked at me like a hack. That's how I keep yelling at you.

"Well, I get it. I don't want to lose. Did you use my brother too? This ending with telling people not to do anything wrong. Invalid! I can't admit such a battle!!"

"An idiot. It's not you, and Liddy's not supposed to do that."

"Brother, tone, tone......!

Basically, my brother, who was often wearing a cat in the castle, was surprised to talk to Wire with vegetables. pointing it out in a whisper, my brother laughed with a ha-ha nose.

"You can't help fixing it on this guy. He's not even a title anymore, is he?

"Well, maybe so..."

I thought it would be that easy and good, but I can't say any more if my brother says it's good.

My brother, relative to the wire, smiled and it had a good smile on his face.
