After the battle with Niddle-Proxia, Rio quickly returned to the inn's private room as he escaped from Imperial Castle. Upon the morning as it is, he will take away the inn with nothing to eat, leaving the Empire behind.

The next step is the Kingdom of Palladia, located in the East from the Proxian Empire. The Kingdom of Palladia is a small country present in the North from the Kingdom of Galark, as well as a conflict area that is chronically in skirmish with its neighbours.

Given the source of the information and the circumstances in which it was obtained, doubts remain as to its credibility, but it is not particularly unnatural in itself for the mercenary Lucius to choose it as a place of activity. Whatever it was, I had to try to make my way to the Kingdom of Palladia for now, beyond the lack of any other noticeable information.

(I hear it's possible that the First Prince would know something about the Emperor... Problem is, how do we get in contact?)

There are possibilities that I could visit if I explicitly stated that I am an honorary knight in the Kingdom of Galark, but I am not very good at applying for an appointment in a formal procedure than my purpose is and I do not want to cause problems in an aristocratic position poorly.

Then I had to break in and try to make contact, but I didn't even think it would be that easy.

It is true that breaking into the castle will not be possible per se, because if you become royal, you are expected to have strict protection for your private room.

There will be a lookout in front of the room, and if you do poorly, there could be a lookout in the room. Also, if you have a wife, you may be with them, and it's not uncommon for a royal nobleman to stay in a bedroom that depends on people but dares not have windows with anti-intruder measures.

(Why don't we just break in? I just have to stick around until I find a chance and try to make contact on an ad hoc basis)

When Rio decided on a uniform policy, he subtly increased his flight speed. It's a turbulent zone for small states, and it's a land I've never visited, so I might get a little lost, but by tomorrow I'll be able to reach the Kingdom of Palladia. It was Rio, who remembered the exaltation similar to neither the pattern nor the palpitations.

◇ ◇ ◇

The place changed dramatically, at the Castle of the Kingdom of St. Stella, in the private room of Liliana, the first princess, Miharu was teaching Liliana Japanese man-to-man.

Nearly a month has already passed since Miharu and the others were brought to the Kingdom of St. Stella at the moment.

"And Japanese is a difficult language. I realized it again because I have been learning to some extent. The pronunciation, of course, is really deep, with the number of letters, the number of homonymous synonyms, the historical background contained in them, grammar, and a number of similar expressions containing fine nuances. When will I be able to read, write, and converse on a daily basis…"

Where classes are separated, Liliana talks smudgingly.

"No, I think Master Liliana is gaining a great deal of momentum, right? Regardless of the language spoken, it is difficult for us Japanese to write beautiful, easy-to-read texts, and there are many words and expressions that we don't understand properly, so you don't have to feel that way."

Miharu smiled and waved.

"Thank you. You've been blessed with a wonderful teacher, so I'll do my best."

Liliana smiles furiously, too.

In fact, her rate of learning is remarkable. He is royal but therefore has limited study time, but his understanding and memorization skills are unplanned as to whether he is motivated to learn and has a fairly good terrain.

Hiragana, at the moment, not only memorizes Katakana, but also memorizes simple kanji like he learns in lower elementary school, where he now absorbs a variety of words and basic stereotypical expressions one after another. From here on out, the growth rate will increase even further.

"Haha, because I am an amateur teacher...... I have never properly learned Japanese grammar or how to teach, and it is possible that I am teaching something that is technically wrong. Still, I think that Liliana's ability to learn Japanese so far in a short period of time is largely due to Liliana's talent. I'm just following Liliana's request to know what I want to learn."

Say, Miharu smiles bitterly.

"I'm sure Mr. Michal isn't an expert, but I think I have the talent to teach you something. In fact, it explains the difference between Japanese and the language of this world in an easy way."

"That's... probably because of Mr. Hart. They taught me so easily that I'm just applying it..."

Miharu, who has no experience teaching Japanese to anyone, is still able to teach Liliana the language because she had the experience of having been taught the language of this world efficiently by Rio. But when praised by Liliana, Miharu subtly clouds her expression.

"Sorry, you seem to have offended me"

Did Liliana sensibly detect the change in Miharu's expression, or she said the words of apology in a sorry way.

"Oh, no, not that I'm uncomfortable..."

Miharu changes her complexion and shakes her first. Then...

"As I said before, Master Takahisa has brought Mr. Michal and the others to our country for some reason. You haven't told me why, either, but that one right now has been a lot of solidity. Like a child."

Liliana talked.

"Yes…, I understand that"

Miharu nods at her teeth.

Nobuku has still not properly explained the situation to Miharu and the others to this day. Because of this, the relationship with Nobu, including Yakuza, is increasingly giddy, and it is the current situation that Aki is struggling to mediate between the two.

"I was unable to stop Master Takahisa. I am not the stepsister I told you, but I ask you once again to be ashamed.... Could you please give us a moment now? I'll make sure Michal presents as much information as I can convince him."

When Liliana said so, she bowed her head deeply against Miharu.

"Yes, no, no, I don't need you to bow your head to Master Liliana"

Miharu rushes to stop Liliana.

"No, here is the decline in the history leading up to the status quo, and it is also self-evident that our country works an extremely dishonest imitation of Mr. Michal. Quote, the beginning and end of unilaterally sweetening Mr. Michal's indulgence. If you don't bow your head as far as I'm concerned, there's no indication."

Liliana, while saying so, kept her head down.

Then Miharu turned her gaze to the frills of the samurai, who had been silent in the same room, to seek salvation, but she was only silently shaken to the left and right.

Somewhat, Miharu is terrified -,

"Master Liliana, please raise your head.... May I ask you just one thing?

And so I asked.

"Yes, for what?"

Liliana concurs resolutely.

"That......, why is Master Liliana listening to your endurance? Is it because he's a brave man?

Miharu asked to peek into Liliana's complexion.

"... half the reason, as I said, is because he is a brave man"

"Then the other half..."

Ask Liliana, who replied pompously, Miharu asks additionally.

"On my own, because I want to believe in that one..."

Liliana replied, smiling a little hung up.

Then, Miharu opened her eyes slightly -,

"Dear Liliana..."

Do you like the precious things - I thought so, but I couldn't ask. While you're doing that...

"This is Takahisa's self, as well as mine. Assuming that Master Takahisa seems to have an affair, I will apologize as much as I can. So could you leave the immediate response to Master Takahisa to me?

Liliana says that.

"............... Yes, I understand, thank you"

Miharu toured plenty, then nodded slowly. Now Miharu has been avoided from precious times, and honestly, I don't know what precious times are thinking anymore. There's so much we can't even have a decent conversation with each other these days.

"Thank you. If I know anything, I'll tell you without lying. I hope you will continue to teach me Japanese for the time being."

"Yes, of course"

"... good, really"

When Miharu agrees comfortably, Liliana breathes relief. And -,

"Heh heh, I'm thirsty when I'm horny. Frills, can you make me some tea?

and gave instructions to the samurai frills. Then...

"I'm in awe"

Frills nod respectfully and begin preparing to make tea.

"So, may I ask you to resume your class, Dr. Michal?"

Liliana tried to change the atmosphere, or smiled gently, letting her say that to her tea eyes in a fearful tone.

"... uh, yes. Leave it to me, princess."

Miharu responded with a playful tone, both naturally and herself, after a moment of rounding her eyes. When the two of us look at each other as they are, they smile at each other strangely, not from either side.

"The trigger may not have been the preferred one, but I am glad to have met you, Mr. Michal"

Liliana smiles a little and tells that happily.

"Well, I'm glad to see you too, Master Liliana."

Miharu agreed somewhat embarrassingly. Liliana doesn't get tired of being with her even though she's royal, or wonders and wavelengths go together. As if we were friends for years. So if Liliana thinks so too, I'm glad. That's what I thought, Miharu.

Then Liliana looked to Miharu as if she had cut out something -,

"Thank you.... By the way, Mr. Michal. Can I ask you a favor, please?

And, slightly, I cut out the story.

"Yes, what is it?

"I'd like to borrow a dictionary that Mr. Michal has for a few days..., would you please allow me?

"My dictionary...... is this it?

Miharu tilts her little neck and takes the small Mandarin dictionary she had at hand. It was in the student bag that I had when I was summoned to this world.

"Yes, you won't understand what it says yet in me right now, but when I hear what kanji is made of, I'm interested and I'd like to see what letters it has. I thought it might be interesting to remember from there if you had any letters that bothered you."

"I see, it might be quicker to learn from what you did have an interest in.... I don't mind. So, shall we change our homework as usual today? Look for some of the letters and words in the dictionary that bothered you. I'll tell you what that means in my next class."

Miharu nodded Hmm, giving Liliana permission to lend her Mandarin Dictionary.

"Thank you. You will study hard.... also for Mr. Michal"

Liliana thanked Miharu when she smiled subtly. But the words that squealed on her ass never reached Miharu's ear.

◇ ◇ ◇

And even more so, the place has changed to the castle of the Kingdom of Galark. At the corner of the exercise area, the royal shark moon was silently waving a spear for practice. But the expression is somewhere troubling.

Because the other day, François, King of Galarc, said something straight away. The dragon showed up, so we couldn't let the demon ship operate for a while, he said.

Currently, neighboring countries, including the Kingdom of Galark, are moving in the direction of solemnly operating demonic ships, and it is said that there is no prospect at all of when the solemnity will be dissolved.

Because of this, I had asked François to negotiate with the other country with a view to visiting the Kingdom of St. Stella, but I was unable to proceed with the conversation.

(I'm talking about a good number of victims, and that princess... is she gonna be okay? She seems so grown up and weak...)

Thinking about Flora, who has actually talked to me face to face a few times, Sharon feels so unbelievable. Various thoughts and thoughts pushed into my chest, and my spear gripping hand gradually gained strength as well.

(What is a brave man in the first place? Wouldn't a brave man crusade like a dragon?

I've also tried to argue that he is a brave man who exists for times like this, but he just came back with a negative answer for the most plausible reason.

(I wonder if you mean a good body god after all.... Totally, I can't believe you show up at a time like this, dragon with all the air I can't read)

A brave man is a symbol of divine authority. I guess it would be difficult for us as a country to be left without the brave men we have because of, than the authority of the country is founded by divine authority.

Therefore, you won't be given an outing permit cheaply, let alone making it so easy to go on a crusade for dangerous chemicals.

Sure, I have trouble getting one bowl of cheaply dangerous chemical crusades turned one after the other, even as a shark moon, but I couldn't stay or stand all this time. It's a lie when it comes to not being scared, but standing still more than that doesn't seem to fit your gender.

"Oh, already!

Sharon shook her spear down vigorously to deceive the nasty. When you stop the spear tip perfectly as it is, you take a small sigh. And -,

"Where are you going, Hart?"

He exhaled his own mood with an anxious voice.
