─ ─ Iris point of view ─

"This is a date. Definitely, it's a date."

Iris proclaimed in a temper.

This is the Torrias Castle room.

In a room rented for a stay, Iris was dressed before going out.

From now on, she will go out to town with Yuki, with patience.

Ophelia-Torius lent me the clothes for it.

As soon as Iris walked into the room, she was in a hurry to bring me some clothes to change.

"... but how could Ofelia have smiled so well...?

I also feel like I had eyes like I was looking at a close associate.

I wonder what that was. Let's ask 'My Road' later.

'My Lord' blinks, but he's sweet, so I'll make an ally soon.

I love that too - and Iris snaps at the mirror.

It's just that on his side...... though I care about a lot of girls.

With that in mind, Iris changed into Ophelia's clothes.

Hooded and caped, it's a traveler-like outfit. Just the right way to go out with patience.

The mirror looks like Alice, who was herself in her previous life.

(More than back then, we're just a little grown up, aren't we?

Besides, I'm the same age as myself in this world as' My Road '.

'My Road' must also be thrilling to me for growing up more than I was in my previous life.

(─ I wonder if you'd be thrilled)

(─ Hope you're thrilled...)

(─ It's not zero chance that you'll be thrilled, is it? There's a little...)

That's how Iris stares into the mirror, um, and grips his fist.

"Let's get in the mood! 'Cause this is my first date with My Road."

In my last life, I never had a chance to have a date in town.

'My Road' at the time, because I kept him out of town during the day.

May he not be the Immortal Mage.

I've never walked in town with you two in such grandeur.

"Look at 'My Road'. It's my first date and I'll surprise you!

Iris, who had finished dressing, left the room in a mood.

─ ─ Yuki viewpoint ─

"It looks like the north street of Castle Town is crowded today. Conversely, the south side is empty. There are a few clouds, but the wind is blowing north. It will be clear in the afternoon.

There's just a square on the south side, so how about a snack there and a view? Yeah, well, the market seems to be on Southwest Street. Let's go that way first. "

"" "Surprised!! Yuki, when did you find out!?

Just now.

Dick the bat (who was following me a little late) rendezvoused, so I had him scout the castle town with Gulm the dog.

Wind direction and cloud movement came from Dick, and the smell and pedestrian streets of the stalls were found in Garm's report.

Thanks for your patience, but you're taking Iris with you.

As for "Escort Knight," it's only natural to look into it.

"... that's 'True'... no, I'm Yuki"

"... if you have Yuki-Grossalia... you don't need any other escorts"

Ophelia and Natasha sighed.

That's what they say, but of course they have other guards besides me ready.

Iris has me, Ophelia and Natasha have Dick and Garm to escort.

"Fine. Don't break (scrap) the Child Rate Formation I just taught you.

"Wow! I know. Oh, it's all right, Mamoru."

"With my people, I will."

Garm barked and Dick nodded over my shoulder.

"Master Ophelia. Okay, I'll leave you with my user demon. I'm sure this man will escort Ophelia and Natasha."

I held Garm up and gave him to Ophelia.

Ofelia was weirdly comparing me to Iris, but, uh, put your face close to my ear,

"... 'True Road' and... Her Royal Highness is... a secret relationship...?

"... right. I can't tell you the details, but I want you to think it has something to do with the legend that Ophelia knows."

"... ok. Very well."

Ofelia nodded, coddly, coddly.

"I swear to 'True Road', loyalty, Help, I will."

"Just go shopping, you don't have to"

"No."

Ophelia shook her head sideways.

And then you look up at me with a serious face,

"Keeping the secret of 'True Road'...... the mission of the singing princess, is. Good luck."

"Right. Thank you. It helps."

Yes, sir.

"Wow."

Ophelia nodded, and Garm barked, seemingly poorly understood.

Now we're all set.

So we snuck out to Torrias' castle town.

We decided to go around the market first.

As Dick and Cliff scouted, the south side of the castle is relatively empty.

On the south side, for many shops handled by merchants and aristocrats, there are few people on the street, and they seem to be safe.

"Your Highness, your hand, please."

"Hi-ha, hi-ha!

Take Iris' hand of the bite, and I'll walk out the street.

If we do this, Iris won't go anywhere on his own.

Natasha and Ophelia are walking a little behind us. There's a garm at your feet, and you're on full alert around.

Dick is watching those closing in on us under the shelter of the building.

Plus Dick's side of the Torrious Bat Corps is hiding in the shadows of buildings everywhere.

The guys who watched me fight The Beast King Ride the other day, they followed me admiring the Dicks.

Now we have full security.

"So what does Yuki want?

"I'd like to get some dried food (kanbashi) that looks as sunny as possible. Only near the Inland Sea, Torrias seafood is delicious."

"A little more romantic, please"

"So, Martha... no, what about the cream that prevents the maid from roughing her hands? I can synthesize it myself using" Katra Flowers, "because it hasn't grown in the Wang capital."

"Would you like to stay away from the actual supplies?

"... (whispers) Speaking of which, you know, Alice (...), in this era 200 years from now, there seems to be a lot of progress. They make something lighter and more sturdy than me and Lyle used in" The Village of Feela. "With that, it would have been easier to build a shelf."

"... (face closer) I'm very interested in that, but I wonder if the escort knight is going home with a tweezer."

"Maybe you want a ring or something?

"After all, Yuki and I are heartfelt!

Didn't you just say 'how about a ring or something' yourself?

... Well, okay.

I decided to ask Ophelia and the others to show me where they were selling the ornaments.

The place is an outdoor shop just around the corner.

The Count (Hakushaku) said it was a store offering merchandise that had dealings with the house.

However, what we're dealing with here seems to be cheap for ordinary people.

I'm sorry for your patience, and I'm not willing to let Iris spend a lot of money on it, so I don't mind.

I just need you to show me around and take a peek at the store.

"... is this the pendant for 'Lapilis Stone'"

A pendant with a small blue stone caught my eye.

"Lapilis Stone" is a crystal form that has a magic accumulation effect, "Rikko".

I used to give it to Lyle and Remilia for their wedding.

However, what's lined up in this store is something less pure than that.

The price is also low. You can even buy enough of my wallet contents...

"Excuse me, I need this Lapilis Stone pendant."

"Two, please!

Before I finished my words, Iris took out the coins.

"... also. You're saying I'll give you a present. Why are you trying to give me money?"

"... no, with"

"And... this is the stone your mother Remilia was pendanting, isn't it? I hear" My Lord "gave it to me."

"What, you remembered"

"Yes. Of course. Eh heh."

In exchange for silver coins, Iris received a pendant for 'Lapilis Stone'.

Give me one, stretch out, close your eyes.

Put it on, I guess.

I turned the chain behind Iris's neck and closed the clasp.

Silver chains are the same color as Iris' hair, so they look great.

"... 'My Road'... no, Yuki sama"

"I'll be right back."

"Uh."

"Let's go. - Come on, let's go. Iris."

I walk out of Iris' hand.

Natasha and Ophelia follow, who were distracted and blocking her sister's eyes.

Already Ofelia seems to be totally onto something, laughing with pleasure.

Natasha has a strange neck, though.

Then for a while, we went around the outhouse.

By the time we reached the southern square, the clouds were clear and the mountains to the east were looking beautiful.

"... is that the mountain where the village was..."

Iris sat on the ground of the square, gazing at the blurry eastern mountains.

Did Ophelia and Natasha distract you or sit a little further away?

I sat next to Iris and offered him a small bag.

When Iris received the bag, he looked surprised...

"This smell...... is a handmade baked treat!?

"You know exactly what I mean."

"I can smell 'Vanilla Lala', so I know. Could it have been made before you went out?

"Oh."

Instead of being easy to make, this baked treat doesn't get much sunshine.

That's why I rented the kitchen before I went out and made it.

"The 'Vanilla Lala Flowers' I use for this confection is what I've been picking in your garden"

"Is it my... at Alice-Carmain's house..."

"I came home the other day. That was planted by Alice, wasn't it?

"Yes. But..."

Iris grabbed the baked sweets and then seemed a little dissatisfied,

"After I reincarnated that, I planted it trying to use it when making my wedding cake..."

"Were you?

"So, but fine. This is how I saw the sieve and got a nostalgic treat."

"When we were all studying, Alice always solved the problem first and demanded sweets. I haven't cooked it yet."

"That was to help 'My Road' and stay together as long as possible."

"I didn't know."

"Now, don't forget"

"Oh. I promise."

"But... I'm glad. I can't believe you can eat sweets just like you did 200 years ago"

Alice put her head on my shoulder.

"I was the first to eat 'My Road's Special Confectionery' in this era..."

"... no, I even fed Odette and Ofelia"

"... mmm"

"Experiment with whether the confectionery making arm is missing - why are you angry?

"I'm not angry. If you made it for Odette and Mr. Ofelia, wouldn't you be mad? Ha!

In the end, Iris wasn't in the right mood until I got my head back.

Natasha, who was in the same square, a little far away, seemed in trouble with her eyes and ears blocked in turn by Ophelia. Thanks Ophelia.

Odette and 'Cain' Elmira came back that night.

Where they were all, the whole castle made a scene with the defeat of the 'Beast King's Ride' and a party to welcome His Highness Iris.

They've all been drinking, and they've crushed it in the middle of the night.

Me and Iris left the venue early, so I don't know where it is.

I just saw Mr. Elmira-Lotus and the soldiers from the King's Capital get drunk.

The report of the user demon confirmed where the castle security was just a little loose.

So...

"Boosted 2x, activate Plus Flight Skills"

It's easy for me to sneak out of the castle.

In the unpopular woods, it was not difficult to summon (soak) the King's Ride of the Lacquered Black (Shikoku), which was handled by his family.

When I executed the Summoning Demon, a magic formation was created on the ground.

Same as when I summoned Iris, who became a family member.

From within a slightly larger magic formation, a winged 'King of the Painted Black Ride' appears.

Taken together, I headed to 'Village of Fira' at the highest speed.

That's how I got to "Village of Fira" a little before the date changed.

Hide 'Black King's Ride' in the old castle again, all the time.

"Activate summoning magic. Come, my family." Iris-Leastia. "

I summoned Iris to the site of Fira Village.

From within the magic formation emerges Iris, who holds onto his bedding.

"You're a successful operation! My Road."

Iris looked at me, slapped my hand and laughed.

Then me and Iris, we went around, looking at the site of "Village of Fira".

No one was there, but the Bat Corps welcomed us.

At the end of the day, in the middle of the village, Iris stopped.

"This is where your father, Lyle, proposed to your mother Remilia, 200 years ago."

"That's where you got me to accept the proposal. Lyle's guy, he applied to Remilia 50 times for a marriage."

"Right. So I'm going to do the same."

Iris stretched his back, so I bowed my body just a little.

Then Iris turned his arm around my neck and put on the pendant I bought during the day.

"Really, please make me your daughter-in-law." My Road ""

"Oh. I know."

"If you put me down and I'm gone from the human world, I'll find you in the princess's power."

"You can't leave me."

"Right"

"You're my... important family."

"...... My Road"

"And if you leave Iris alone, it's so dangerous."

Even before I regained my memories of my previous life, I usually came into the Baron Territory mountains.

Normally, yeah, I'm supposed to let my men do that.

I'm really annoyed with the princess. Iris is.

"... Huh. That's how you can treat children, because right now, hey."

That's what Iris said, peppered, and tongued out.

"One day I'll be a fine lady and tell My Lord, 'I misjudged you. You're grown up, Iris,' cause let me say it!!

Like I swear to Lyle and Remilia, who aren't here, Iris declared that.

And then we just look around the village a little bit more...

Before nightfall, I once again flew through the sky with the wings of King's Ride in Black, returning to the woods near the castle.

"Come, my family, Iris-Leastia."

I sent the summoned Iris to the castle.

I needed to put back the King's Ride of the Black (Shikoku), so in the end, I was asked to be absent for a day tomorrow.

The alibi should be properly made up by Iris and Odette.

"Good night. Sorry for all the trouble, 'My Road'"

That's what I said. I was curious that Iris' hand back in the room was all dirty.

Then again I went to "Village of Fira" in "King of the Painted Black Ride".

After sleeping until noon in the old castle, I decided to return to the castle.

When you leave the village,

"... Iris' fingers were soiled because of this"

On the ground in the village square, with my fingers, it said, 'My Lord and Alice Carmine are engaged here,' but...

"... well, okay"

"It's okay -" "The Bat Corps, too, because I liked it" "I'm watching -"

In the end, the letters stayed put and I decided to go home to everyone.
