Stranger’s Handbook

146 A trap called custom

"Catalina needs to come with me. What about Meryl? Are you leaving today?

"No, I need to talk to you...... can I wait?

"Okay. I'll be back after the meeting with Sister, so I hope you're taking your time."

"Best regards,"

through the side of Albert, who is still falling, and takes Catalina to the reception

I don't think so, but I'm afraid of the chamber alone with a woman.

Besides, he's the next Pope... and I'm glad Catalina's here.

"You kept me waiting. Sister... you took care of Beat during his birth."

Thank you for your consideration, Sister.

That sounds like a great way to put it, but you're the Grand Duke, so I don't have a choice.

Because Catalina will thank you instead.

I'm telling you, it's a lot of trouble.

"No, because it is natural for God to use it. The trees where the little birds dwell in the rain say nothing. That's the same thing with Oki looking up at the sunny sky. And the rain clouds make it rain on the ground equally...... What does His Excellency the Grand Duke of Zest think of that rain?

I'm confused by a long time ago Ponky Language.

Besides, he seems to be asking... how do I answer that?

Catalina's pupils, sitting beside her, seemed to be open and she didn't understand either

"Hmm. Rain or... bring grace, but at the same time disaster. I mean, does that mean the opposite? Is Sister even giving me any advice?

Catalina turns momentum to that word

You're too surprised, aren't you? I just said it somehow, and I don't understand it, so don't expect it.

"You're as per the letter from the Pope...... that's a wonderful answer. It's a miracle of God's glory."

That's what I'm saying. I'm posing as a prayer in front of my chest, Ponky.

Apparently, you're right... Hey, is it a miracle if I can understand the content and reply?

Besides, did you get a letter from the fridge?

"It's a house where those who live on land and those who live on the sea coexist, and there's a trial going on. Don't just give them water because they're sea dwellers. And the inhabitants of the sea can't say they don't need water!

I can't chase the penetration anymore...

But things are different today, aren't they? He wants to tell you something important.

But you don't know what that means.

"It's a trial... Catalina, what do you think?

"Nha!?

Is it because you were seen by a sister with a rare and serious face, or because you suddenly told me to talk?

Catalina rocked her shoulder with Bikun

"Oh, yeah. Let us deal with this as soon as possible, my lord."

"That's Catalina. Don't worry, Sister."

"Oh, it's like the first time I went into a chapel. This is what the thought of a breeze slipping through a quiet surface of water shakes the leaves of a tree would look like. Forest trees must also sprout fresh greens in joy. Oh, please."

I smiled and nodded at Catalina's reply and Sister left... maybe she was happy... maybe

Is that something we need to deal with in a hurry? I understand very well.

He's been friends with Sister lately, so I guess that's why?

"So, what did you mean? You had no idea, did you?

"... me too... same."

……

……

In the private room, Catalina and I were looking at each other silently.

"I didn't understand either, so I don't blame you for that... but there would be a few more ways to answer that. That was taken to mean I totally understood, right?

"I'm sorry. I'm upset because things are different..."

He's back in the office, but the problem hasn't been solved.

I can't even go ask you again... you're in trouble.

"My lord, if you seem busy, my consultation is fine at a later date"

Merrill speaks in a small voice

No, no, I'm going to Elf's country again, so I don't know when it's gonna be until now.

"No, let's hear it now. Don't worry, this problem won't solve it."

"Yes, I did. Consultation is about the affair of a couple with Albert."

Unexpectedly, I blew out the tea in my mouth

It seems Catalina also has tea in her strange spot.

Huh, you're a couple...

"My lord, are you okay?

"That's Meryl. Are you all right? I don't know what a couple does."

"This is the natural mess of rumors. Horrible."

I've been pocan for a while on me and Catalina's words, but they make me crimson when they figure out what it means.

I talk to him in a hurry, waving a patsy hand.

"Chi, no! I wanted to say something about conjugal relationships."

"Hmm? What does that mean? You must have married each other like you liked each other."

"Yes, I am a human being, so I learned the customs of the Beastman because I thought it was for him at all. But I'm not going to stand for it anymore."

"Oh, there seem to be many examples of beastly and human couples not doing well in the territory."

That's right, there are a lot of heterogeneous couples in my territory.

And lately I've been getting reports that there's been a lot of problems.

I can't believe noble Merrill said this.

"Well, calm down. What makes you think that? Did Albert even cheat on you? You want me to break one of your arms?

"No, it's my fault! He's not bad!

Meryl taking the munchies out of her chest in tears

So I'm guessing it's not a storeroom.

"This is the cause. I can't stand hitting him with a munch. I don't like it anymore."

"... well, it's a surprise habit"

"I wasn't having fun earlier, I was emptying my mind."

"Catalina, what happens when you stop hitting me with munchies? What are the views of the Beastmen?

"That... doesn't matter if you get hit with a munch. It also means looking good. It's impossible not to do it at all. It doesn't have to be a munchkin 'thing. It's okay if it hurts."

"Really... do I have to slap you hard? Can't it be lighter?

"When it comes to beasts, it feels like tacit understanding. But when you're a human being, you really beat it hard, so it's easy to get results like this."

"Yes!? Can I beat you weak!?

Surprised, you stood up and Meryl raised her voice

"That's right. I promise you I'll let them beat you hard. But I can't tell you from the Beast Man. So... do you call it the pride of the race?"

"Oh no... Albert said it was so expressive of affection that he slapped it hard..."

"Oh, a man wants to look good about that. It's a very troublesome custom."

"Then tell me..."

"No one else can say that. We're talking about a couple, so they're gonna take extra care of us instead of advice."

What a troublesome habit... hardly a trap...

We have to do something. It's not good.

"Looking good... for example, making something like this..."

I'm gonna explain my concept to both of you.

The point is, 'I don't care if they do this! Isn't that amazing?'

writing on paper and explaining, the two of them had embarked on a listening

When you actually make that thing and use it to show it, the excitement's at its peak.

"Wonderful! I'll be mass-producing soon!

"This would be fine with me! Thank you, my lord!

"I don't know what to say myself, but is this really going to work out?

Like too much joy, I pulled it off a little bit, but they're tension max.

"This is a groundbreaking invention. My lord, it is the hope of a heterogeneous couple!

"If this is the case from the beginning... My lord, this is for all couples in the Territory!

"Ah, oh. I don't mind. Use it thoroughly. Is that all? Then I'd love to go to Beat's while I love Wis..."

Go ahead. Go ahead.

"I won't let anyone get in the way. Please take your time."

I was able to relax with my family for the rest of my stay in the Territory and refreshed myself.

Time to hold my baby and spend with my wife... do something about Elf Country fast to protect this happiness!

I think so again. It was me.

A few days after I left for Elf Country, this latest item was largely announced in the Territory.

At that time, these texts were communicated together as words from me, and they became a big fuss.

And that... also led to a later incident...

"I tell the fae couples

We know that it is the custom of the Beast tribe to show sincerity and courage by having the Munchkin used against them.

The custom will need to be taken care of and communicated to future generations.

But to the extent that I slapped him with a munch, it's raw.

Now that I have the latest weapon in the other world, use it to show more affection.

Don't worry, this is a new custom in our territory, not abandoning tradition.

Take the lead in using it as a regional custom.

However, be very careful because loud noises occur when using it.

"Hey, we're done here, huh?

"Oh, the weapons of the other world... me, don't die"

"I'm still dying... what's going to happen now..."

Some people will practice it in the square in front of the building to see how to use it and how powerful it is.

The chosen ones are the married beasts.

Wives, husbands, people, heterogeneous couples, they were aligned with blue faces.

Fully armed black knights and maidens of war set up weapons against them.

"Are you ready? All right, here we go!

Catalina's decree will wield it at the same time.

A trained, elite soldier will handle it... it won't be a wife or husband ratio

But the Grand Duke's orders would be irreversible... the participants chewed their teeth off

Sparn!!

Dry, very good sound echoed in the square

Those waiting for the spectators and participating spouses covered their faces.

This sound... sounded like something I've never heard before.

Participants will not be safe...

"... that?

"Yes, he's alive?

"Huh? Did you just do something?

Black knights with weapons crush the participants in the Kyoton

"It is a new weapon of the other world that His Excellency the Grand Duke has made. There's nothing better than to show your temper. The power is exactly what I just felt. Your Eminence's consideration... from today on, have them use this."

Participants who receive it in a flash, but gradually understand this thought

"This won't hurt you more than Munch!

"Oh, I don't need a hand job!

"We can also protect the pride of the Beast Man!!

"From now on, no munchies! The custom of the beasts is to use this new weapon, Harrison!

Savior of a heterogeneous couple...... If you're getting married, live in the Grand Duchy territory!

Such rumours spread, and immigration from various countries prompted an explosion in the Territory's population
