"A treasure trove?

Come on, the light rain clouds the sky with lead.

The rain softly lands on the ground and soaks into the soil.

Looking out of the white window, I was relaxing at a tea party in Lilac's private room today.

"Yes, may I ask?

A very light question from Lilac who put the cup back into the saucer.

The expression of Lilac of the natural body is risky, and the outlook that is in the form of a peek at the difference in sitting height is definitely not aimed at.

Is it because you are distracted or because you don't have to go out of your way?

Probably both.

Just be honest with me. Because of such a friendly question, Futa smiled at the charm.

"Of course.... just"

Nod.

I'm more than free. Rather, it is true that if she asks for anything, there is no hope.

However, it was perfectly natural for Futa to cast a veil on the smile.

"I don't know if I can go and help."

Futa's words while scratching her cheeks.

Lilac's request was to "stand by the lockdown of the treasure vault."

The treasure chest is inspected (tested) several times a year.

Apart from the timing of the inspection, there may be adjustments (maintenance) and improvements (updates) by the court magician, and this time Hula just offered the improvements (updates).

It's not just a treasure trove, but the key is something that evolves from time to time.

The battle between the thief and the protector is always a technological battle, and the key is the "game" that divides the difference between the victory and the defeat of that technology.

That's why there is no reason to boost the treasure trove where the royal treasure sleeps as a place to compete - but technology advances because there are things to protect and things that may be taken away.

This time too, Hula wanted to change the magic locks that protected the treasure trove.

"You don't have to be nervous."

Come here, Lilac smiles.

"Besides, it's not like the Royal Family doesn't trust Hula. Just have to be physically present. Hula and I will not complain when we put Huta on our behalf. That's all I'm talking about."

Really?

"Yes, to be honest, I'm not really interested in royal history or luxury treasures."

"When I was told it was the treasure trove of the royal castle, I had a brilliant image of gold and silver....."

"No way."

Lilac shrugs his shoulders.

"If there's anything like that, I'll sell it off."

"Hmm...."

"Why do you have to accumulate money even though it is difficult to do so?"

"That's true... but like this, a sword of honor to the royal family..."

"If that's the case, you can certainly think of giving it to the champion of the sword."

"Daameda. Master Lilac, I'm really not interested."

"Fufufu"

I accidentally threw my back on the sofa.

But if there's only that much interest for Lilac, you don't have to be upset.

Lock the treasure chest and stand by for its improvement.

Since she is not going out herself, it doesn't seem to be such a big requirement - above all, it is enough for Lilac to ask for a seat at the tea party.

Well then, let me take over.

"Yes, if I don't go, you're good."

Confident in the word.

"But what does Hula think?"

"What do you mean?

"It's got something important in it, so I thought I'd improve it."

Oh, sure.

Lilac nodded as if she was right.

It sounds bad to say that the old state still exists, but it is the duty of the court wizard to inspect the treasure chest.

Lilac says the presence of a royal human being is only appropriate if it is also an obligation.

Originally it seemed to be a strict rule, but a few decades ago, it was said that people who came into contact with free relatives had taken on inertia.

"Originally I was there, but things have changed."

"... oh, I'm working with Hula."

That's what it is.

Once upon a time, I didn't know where or what the court wizard would do to me. Only the Royals have the right to enter the Treasury at all times.

She was on her way every time she couldn't help but put a trap on it - things are different now.

At least each other's interests coincide. I wasn't so worried, and Lilac was honest that it was okay if Futa was there as an insurance policy.

That's the rest of it. I thought it would be better for Futa to take a look at the treasure chest. "

"What do you mean?

"It's not like there's anything else... but it's better to know than not to know. I can show you anyway, but the horns stand. I just thought it would be better if you looked at the timing of legal admission."

"... I don't know, but I understand."

"That's fine now."

Lilac nodded with a loose smile.

But I just thought...

"Master Lilac?

"--As far as Hula is concerned, maybe it's just fun making her own keys."

"Ah...."

"Welcome, Futa!!! For my Lock Fair!!!

"... I can see that, Master Lilac."

In the first word of greeting, Lilac was already convinced that Lilac's predictions were a big win.

This is a treasure trove.

Prison is also an unusual place in the basement where you can get off another staircase and Huta has never carried her feet in the royal castle.

To be precise, I've only come for a walk once, but I've been told this is the treasure trove and turn right. The rumors are too bad, such as a princess diner wandering around the royal treasure trove.

--At the time of the hyena, the rumor was as good as dead, but that was it.

"What are you going to do with the Expo...."

"You heard me! Look at all these locks!!

If you do, it's the translucent locks that wave their hands.

I have to say that the area that is floating in the sky is the Stream Stone Master.

"No, yeah. It's a lot....."

Design is rich in variations, but orthodox in form. They're all hooked up in a jar, and all of them have keyholes.

Few people could tell about the beauty of these.

"Whoa, don't you like the keys?

"I haven't heard much about whether you like keys or not...."

"Hmm. Does that mean Master Futa herself is a master key that can be opened lightly by any woman?

"Wait, what is that? I don't know. I'm scared."

"Nothing, nothing. Your Highness, you've opened the lock on your heart, right?

I never thought I'd make you simpler.

"Whoa, that's unusual. It's the second time I've met you. It's a compliment to me."

"No, this is too invincible."

With her hands on her forehead, Hula opens the vault door.

"Let's start with a light door check."

Hula starts working against the door without worrying about the treasure trove.

What are you waiting for? Huta doesn't know much about magic.

I had no idea what I was doing, and Futa, who had no idea what she was doing, glanced into the vault.

I don't know, you don't have much to show me.

"That's true. Even though it's a treasure trove, I've heard that items like gold have already been sold out. The rest is important to the country's history... and most of it seems to be personal to His Majesty and successive kings.... there's no such thing as His Highness's secret that might bother you."

I almost kicked it.

"Whoa, watch out, watch out."

Loosely shaking her head, Hula looks like she can afford it.

Your Highness's secret - if you say so and don't care, it's a lie. Still, there's nothing you can't force yourself to reveal.

Futa turned her white eyes to her pleasant back.

Then I asked.

"Well, thank you for the last time."

"Whoa, what is it? - Ah, that. The maid is a witch."

"Well, yeah. I don't know how to say it."

In retrospect, I still feel anxious.

The suffering that struck her was not, after all, due to Hula's lifespan. If they hadn't told me that recording was going to cost me my life, I would still be alive - and I'm sure they would have regretted it someday.

"Magic basically requires a price. The greater the benefit, the greater the price. You know how amazing recording is, don't you?

"... that's right. It was incredible."

Return rotten items to freshness. The messy rooms were also restored in an instant. Easily record sound and video.

Such a force can't be small.

"I've been looking into a lot since then, and I've been collecting materials with the help of someone I know... but if Hula finds out anything, I'd like you to contact me."

"Of course."

"Thank you."

Nod to hawk and look back.

I can't feel the back of my smile.

Hula shouted at Futa from the front.

"I want to be close to you forever."

…… Oh, thank you. "

Hula drew a magical formation on the door as she sang her nose song.

All that remains is to put one from the previous Lock Series in the middle of the door.

Hula put her hand on the door of the vault, which was slammed and closed.

With a wave of wind similar to the fighting spirit, the magic light disappeared from the scene.

"All right, that's it. If you force it to open, it will explode."

"Is that okay, the treasure trove..."

"What? I've set all the blasts to come before me."

"That's a boulder...."

"Then let's go back. Master Huta, what happens next?

"Nothing in particular."

"Let's go out for a while!!

"... are you okay with your work?"

"Hahaha, it's time to rest until I come looking for you!!

Hula walks away with all her horrible remarks.

Fouta sighed and followed his back.

--Another story is that this treasure trove is responsible for one disturbance.

"By the way, what's the price of this key magic?

"Hmm, it's so simple."

Hula said that she was just listening to me.

"It's very expensive to refine."

"...... whose money is that?

"It depends on the country, hahaha!!
