Tomorrow.

I did a C-rank request for the Adventurer Guild that Anna asked me to do in the morning, and it was halfway through the afternoon.

It's not uncommon to have any particular plans.

So I was walking around the market without even addressing it.

As always, people were busy in the market. Then there was a man running from across the street, trying to scratch through the crowd.

It was - it was a little girl. He is dressed in cloth.

Age is probably around ten.

Face like a decent cat. Eyes are as big as crystals. The exterior has a cuteness that floats away like a doll.

She was - for some reason, desperately shaped.

"Hey! Somebody! I need you to get that kid!

A voice that flew over the girl's shoulder.

- What? Maybe someone's trying to kidnap a girl?

I thought so, but when I saw that it was a familiar shopkeeper who requested the capture of the girl, I decided which faction I was going to be in.

I caught a leg where the girl tried to get past me. Support with your right arm, which offers the center of gravity to collapse forward.

I held her luxurious body aside as it was.

"Get off me! Get off me! Stupid thing!"

A girl held by me tries to resist as she moves her legs butterfly. But fleeing is no match.

In the meantime, the shopkeeper caught up.

Put your hands on your knees and breathe on your shoulders.

"Ha. Ha..."

"What the hell is going on?

"No. This girl ate our product and ran away. I grabbed the apples lined up in the store and ate them myself."

"I am not a despicable imitator of running away from food, etc! I didn't know you needed money to eat apples!

"What do you mean?" I asked the girl.

She said...

I was walking in the market and there was a line of yummy looking apples in the store.

I was just hungry, too, so I ate it for my hand. I didn't know you were going to need money to eat apples from the store. Then I told the shopkeeper, 'Come on!' He yelled at me, and I ran away startled and aggressive - which seems to mean.

"That kind of excuse makes sense! You thieving little girl!

"Become -! That I am a thief daughter!? No kidding! Store owner, you need to undo what you're saying!

"If you want me to revoke it, pay first!

"Ugh...... I don't have any money..."

"Then you're murky! Anyway, ask the knight on patrol to come. Call your parents to atone for the sin of eating away."

"Kee, I want you to spare me calling the knight! For the rest of your life! If they call your parents, you're not gonna be good either."

"What the hell. How could I not be good?"

"Oh, that's..."

"- I want to. It's no use trying to intimidate me. If you don't want me to report you so much, you're gonna pay for the apple first."

"So you're saying there's no money!

The story was grand.

As it is, I'm sure the shopkeeper will call the knights. That way the girl will be squeezed tight.

That's pathetic...... I have no choice.

"Well, I'll pay for this place."

"" What!?

Both the girl and the shopkeeper looked at me at the same time.

"Mr. Kaisel. Are you serious?"

The owner asks me how incredible it is.

"Yeah. This kid doesn't seem to have any money. Looks like he's also reflecting. Forgive my face here."

When I said that, I let the shopkeeper hold the money.

Nearly ten times the price of apples.

"This much...?

"Well. If you think it's like a nuisance fee"

"He's always cheering on me. If that's what you say... Hey, little girl. Thank you, Mr. Kaisel."

The store owner apparently forgave me.

When she tricked the girl to "snuggle" and pay for the fly, the girl peeled off her eyes and peeked at her tongue.

"Ko, you gaka!

"Shut up! Barcoverka!

When the girl only incited the shopkeeper, she ran away from the front of the store. He spoke to me after a while.

"Say thank you. Thanks to you for saving me."

"Good for you"

"But why did you pay for me? Me and you are the others in red. I'm not supposed to bother paying you."

The girl gets a stiff look.

"Maybe you... are you Loricon? Selling thanks to me... are you trying to do something pathetic instead?

"That's not true."

When I smile,

"That place wouldn't have fit if I hadn't. Besides, you didn't know you couldn't eat apples without paying for them, did you? Then I won't do it again in the future, and calling knights and parents is too much."

"I guess I might have been throwing up a shrimp lie on the spot"

"If that's the case, you're not asking me that. Besides, I can tell by the look in your eyes that you're not a liar."

An adventurer.

"Ku...... haha!

The girl suddenly laughed out loud.

"You're an interesting guy. I like it!"

They liked it.

"You. What's your name?

"Kaisel, though"

"Right. Is that Kaisel? Kaisel? You... maybe you have a daughter named Elsa?

"Elsa is certainly my daughter... You know that?

"I know nothing, she's..."

It was that moment when the girl tried to spin some words.

"Master Prim!

A familiar Rin's voice sounded.

When I saw it, Elsa with the Knights armor was running this way.

Prim - is that her name?

"Dear Prim. I looked for it. Get out of the castle again on your own. The castles and the knights panicked."

"Pfft. I did everything I could to make sure no one would find me."

"Don't brag about it"

Elsa noticed me next to Prim there.

"Father. Why are you here?

"No. Kind of. What about this girl? You know him?

"I mean, I know him..."

I wonder what's wrong. That's oddly bad toothpick.

"Elsa is my Kingsguard"

Prim responded in Elsa's place.

"Kingsguard? That means..."

Elsa snorted.

"This man, Master Prim, is the princess of this country."

"What!?

I mean - you mean princess!?

daughter of His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen.

"That's right. My name is Prim Vargenstein. A great king, the only daughter of Sodom Vagenstein."

"Dear Prim. Anyway, I'll go back to the castle. We're all worried."

"Hmm...... I still had a lot to do. I don't have a choice. Let's be honest with you today."

That's what Prim says.

"Kaisel, you saved my day. See you later."

Left to say.

"Princess! Wait!"

Elsa rushes after him. From that look, I guess I'm swung by the princess every day as a Kingsguard.

- I didn't know that kid was a princess...

If the shopkeeper had called the knight earlier and your parents were to be called, it would have been difficult by now. The supreme power of this country is coming. Poor behavior can also result in the owner's neck flying.

Perhaps the princess's reluctance to be reported is bigger that way rather than being conservative.

I was going to help Prim, but as it turns out, I might have saved the owner's fate as well.
