The afternoon, the day after the big loss.

Sabine came to Ichi in the afternoon because he said he would be out in the morning.

Well, it will come ...

Following Sabine-chan with sparkling eyes, we went to the royal palace while pushing a mountain bike.

No, you can't practice around it, as expected. The royal palace would have a backyard or something.

And, in contrast to Sabine-chan who is full of energy, the uncle of the escort escort of heavy and heavy steps.

No, so sorry! Bring whiskey, no, brandy this time! I'll give you!

The gate is, of course, a face pass.

Go straight to Sabine's recommended backyard.

First of all, explanation of how the bicycle works, how to operate it, and why.

Sabine-chan nodded at my explanation. Apparently they understand. As expected.

And next is my model performance.

Since high school was halfway through the mountain, I trained on bicycle for three years. When I was at school, most of the girls were pushing and climbing aside, I climbed up my bike! Because the pedal doesn't go down just by putting weight on it, climb uphill with your arms and pulling power.

I don't have any physical strength but I'm good at sprinting because I trained with this. Also, hanging up.

Pia, are you good at hanging because your body is light and your arms are short and the length of pull is short?

Anyway, I'm good at bicycles! I pulled the steering wheel and lifted the front wheel to make a forced turn or ride around quite freely.

Sabine-chan with bright eyes. Unconscious escort escort uncle.

No, so sorry! Yeah, I fell down ...

Then, wearing a helmet and protector, finally practice Sabine-chan's practical skills.

… It took a few turns, but I managed to get on in a matter of seconds.

Yeah, I knew.

When I saw Sabine practicing for a while, the king stood behind me. Looking around, there is a pretty spectator before he notices and is not aware of the guidance to Sabine-chan. Did anyone tell the King?

Oh, if I thought I shouldn't ask for an explanation, the King's first voice.

"Mitsuha, tell me how to win Othello."

Oh, you lost ...

"I'm sorry. I also lost so much that I was taken away."

The king who snarls in my reply.

What did you tear, King ...

"Then, what about fighting with shogi next? In that case, Sabine-chan would not be as good as an adult who understands fighting."

The king whose face seems to cry at my words.

…… Ah, did you lose?

Mr. was knocking on King's shoulders, and the minister came.

"Mitsuha, how to win Othello and Shogi ..."

Is it you, too?

In the end, Sabine lost the mountain bike she had sent to her hometown friends for Mitsuha. He said he complained, but he couldn't blame me for what he did.

So, what kind of promise did you make, King?

But turn around, or say, if Sabine runs around the royal city on mountain bikes, people in the city will get used to bicycles. I wouldn't be complaining to the princess or approaching to find the secrets of the bike.

And even if I start riding a bicycle at the right time, there is no problem because everyone is already used to it!

If you can use bicycles in the capital city, it will be very convenient. Good, good!

I'm good at "good looking"! It's not opening again! ……Perhaps.

A certain person visited the Mitsuha store that night.

5 days later.

Sabine, as she has been doing every day for the past few days, jumped on a mountain bike and shook off her escorting escort into the city.

Because you know where you are going, the escort will come sweating. You can spend a short time before that, a relaxing time without escort with Mitsuha-sister. When I arrive at "Miscellaneous store Mitsuha"

There was an escort with a crossed arm with his arms crossed, and a cross bike behind it.

A young girl riding a mountain bike and a trained adult man riding a cross bike. Driving in the city didn't really matter.

I will follow Sabine properly the next day, but today I just wanted to give it a little remorse and stayed ahead. Even though it's an escort, sometimes it's a child of man.

And a loud voice echoed at the storefront.

"Mitsuha-nee is terrible !!"

Mitsuha, begged by the uncle of escort, felt responsibilities and decided to close his eyes to the slightest contradiction and ask for it.

I haven't heard it outright, but I've always thought that the governor might have noticed it.

Originally, the escort was always with Sabine, so he knew a lot about Mitsuha.

It is an implicit understanding that escorts "treat as if they are not there", and they will never leak what they saw or heard while escorting. Even if the other party is your employer.

Otherwise, escorts must be kept away in important or secret situations, and there is nothing you can do if you are targeted at that time.

So Mitsuha talked to Sabine normally as if there were no escorts. Prepare mountain bikes at Sabine's request. Sometimes it only takes half a day.

The escort who knew it was aware that it was originally a violation of the rules, but he was worried that it would not be possible to protect the princess from danger without fulfilling the escort as it was, as a last resort to plead with Mitsuha Came out.

Mitsuha knew the situation well, and because he was foolish, he could not stand the guilt and accepted the request.

The incident was concerned with Sabine's security. The destination of Sabine is not only Mitsuha's store, but even when it comes to the store for a short time, she is out of the escort protection. I have not forgotten about the debut of the Princess of Lightning.

It was these five days that it took the escorts to practice desperately outside of working hours to get a cross bike and surpass the skills of Sabine.

I heard and remembered about bicycles when I was in Sabine. It was a matter of course as an escort that the escort target was to ride.

On that night, the guards drank alcohol at home for the first time in a while. A foreign sake that I received with a cross bike.

The sake called “Brande ” had a good scent, a strong spirit, and good taste. It was very, very good.
