Return to the hall with Lentomia, Plum and Hemperoza to open the living room dining door.
As soon as I got there, my little body jumped. It's Larna, a back-length toddler with only as many hips. Several hall slimes are rolling and jumping, as they follow.
"What, early return day?
He looks up at me as soon as he goes out and looks strange.
"I'm home, Larna. I was just walking right up there.... By the way, where did Chiuta move to?
I don't see the crate that was in the corner of the living room dining room on the way out, the rat's "Chuta" house.
"Gu Gu Room Day!
In the end, it's my study.
I laugh unwillingly at Larna, who answers without giving in, but I have no choice but to find out that she is an important former prince (...).
Looking around the resting place where everyone gathers, there is no sign of Manuferno, Riola, Spiano and the four children. They're all out shopping in the city, quiet and gallant.
"Mr. Grey, Ergo is still in view!
"Oops, I did"
Looking back to Plum's voice, a crystal sphere placed in the corner of the long table, which accounted for half of the living room dining room, emitted a pale light.
He says to Hemperoza and Plum and Larna, "Don't carry this crystal sphere with you because it's important," so he seems to have come all the way here to let us know that the comms are here.
It looks like a crystal sphere used by old-fashioned wizards for fortune telling, but combined with the Slide Projection Magic Tool (Magina Projector) for public broadcast reception, it is now an essential magic tool for long-range magic communication.
Set in the sage hall is a specially made crystal sphere. The royal castle is connected to a direct secret line (...), and it is someone in the royal family who communicates, or a king-government relationship or a military relationship. And the Magic Society.
A peek into the crystal shows the back of a man who seems to be packing something in his bag. Lentomia peeks in from the other side of me, too.
"Ah, Ergonote."
"Mm-hmm. It's kind of sad. It's just your back."
Pram said Ergonote said "goodbye". Ha...? Is something wrong?
Well, the immediate thought there would be of an example case where we all went to bring Her Royal Highness Princess Snoovel back, who ran away (...) to the Demon King's Castle.
"Ergonote, is something wrong?
From what I've seen, it looks like a private private private room with no one else, so I'll feel free to speak up. Soon a well-fitted redhead turned this way.
The face didn't feel its usual brilliance, and it also looked so tired.
"Grecas! And Lentomia! Oh, my friend... Good. I can say goodbye before I travel '
"Goodbye... what the hell? Come on"
Are you going to be executed? I almost said that but I stopped because making jokes wouldn't make me look stylish. I glanced at Lentomia. I'm not brave, and I'm not energetic.
"Ergonote already. Are you going to make a left transition?
"Hey, Lentomia."
A little less stylish, but the opponent is a prince for once. There will be no left transition......
'Hahaha, don't worry about it. Well, I guess it's close to that.'
"Huh?"
"Really!?
Ergonote took his gaze off once and sighed loudly with eyes that looked far away.
"Actually...... I'm going back to Israel"
"To Israel!? Ergonote, are you alone?
"Ah. I'm alone. Israel is now still a nominally independent country (...), but now it is officially to be incorporated into Metanostadt. That's when I got my life as the new governor. Well... the old royal (...) authority is no longer there, but it will still help to stabilize Israel. I'm the only survivor of the Israelite royal family, and I have to go to the signing ceremony in a few days' time. '
Israel is certainly still an independent country (...), but it is also essentially a protectorate of the Kingdom of Menotashtat.
I have no doubt that we have domestic precarious circumstances. Even in the sense of preventing any further destabilisation, I would say that we will try to collect things by making them look like special autonomous regions at once.
If the person who goes as Governor is the first prince of the former royal family, it can be considered the greatest consideration for both the Independents and the Allies.
"I heard that the current Southout administration is becoming financially stable... but why now?
"He says the economy is gradually getting better with the metal trade, but he's also dissatisfied because it hasn't reached the common people. Originally, Israel was a coalition state by nearly a hundred tribes. In order to fully incorporate it into Metanostadt, you thought it would be easy to convince the bloodlines of the ancient (if not ancient) era, which brings together tribes, villages and fortified cities dotted in vast desert countries. '
Ergonote turned to the crystal sphere with a serious look and kept talking to himself to make him talk.
"I see."
"If I had stayed in that country and left the royal family in the wild, I might have been able to maintain independence... The result of foolishly fleeing the comfort of being a brave man. Karma, I'm ready to take full responsibility."
"Ergonote......"
That was the path that once forced me to make a choice but escaped during the Neo-Isravian unrest.
He did not choose the path to do his utmost to rebuild his decadent homeland, wanting to live only a little more freely, like a young man who had just opened up from repression, to the desert at night.
Neither did I at that time, admiring the rush of such ergonotes and... I agreed from the expectation that the glaring unusual would continue, and did not make a difference.
Indeed, Ergonote and we have since come this far after many adventures and battles to save the world.
But... As the world gradually moves towards stabilization, adventure time may be drawing to an end, like the fairytale hero Tan (...).
I narrowed my eyes to Hemperoza on Plum and Larna's back, struggling to make tea in the kitchen.
"What happens with the princess? Aren't you going to take me?"
"We broke up."
"Nah......!?
"You were close!?
It's superficial. But originally in the royal palace, I was not as welcome as the public thought. As much as I can tell from the nobles and some royalty that they were smoking. It's not just race and skin color. character in upbringing and there were too many things missing '
"That's what..."
He's a man who's lived free. I can guess that there must have been a lot of hard work in a cramped court.
'Well, in martial arts, I didn't lose to knights or nobles... but it's no consolation. Hahaha, I should have studied some more while I had a country. It's a reward for playing around without protecting your father and mother. "
A red-haired ex-prince shrugging her shoulders and bending her brows.
"... Damn. How can I comfort you? I know what you're talking about."
"I'm sorry, Grecas. I just wanted you to hear a little bit of stupidity.
"But if we go this way, some of us may be waiting for Ergonaut to return, but some of the new southerly regimes may even rebel?
"Maybe, but I'll just do it as Governor."
"Uhm......"
"What happened at Demon King's Castle has anything to do with it?
Lentomia pinched the question.
"That's sharp, Lentomia. While he was at the princess's side, he couldn't notice the suicide urge. The king and the queen blamed him for it. Not at all. I have no words to give it back. Exactly. If you're under an old curse, there must have been one or two omens. '
"You didn't even know the wizard of the High Elf under Her Highness's command, did you? That won't help."
'No, if I could have detected it, I would have talked to Grecas. I... didn't take a good look at Princess Snoovel.
Ergonote that ties lips together hard with a look of regret.
I didn't see it, which seemed like a deadly monologue. A brave ergonote who was a lover and an approved fiancée in the world. And Her Royal Highness Princess Snoovel. Between the two of them, there may have been a subtle mistake.
Maybe it was that gap in the mind that activated the curse caused by "ancient magic" that was set in place a few years ago... It's over now. It's all just my own delusion and speculation.
It's a matter of the minds of two people who can't get in any more.
Don't let it bother you, there are a lot of good women in Israel too! And to smile and slap him on the back, it was too far beyond the crystal sphere.
'Well, more than this has happened, in order to do everything in our power to make Israel a good country, first of all… the ability to re-study politics and economics'
"From there..."
I laugh unintentionally. But I wonder if I should ask you about Algoat, the third prince of Israel.
Nevertheless, I was hesitant to put it on the subject now just because the circumstances were the case.
"Departure is in three days. Do me one favor. Hopefully...... could you take me in Grecas' flying carriage?
"Ah, ah. Transfer (...) is cheap."
"Good, thank you, my friend!
So crystal ball communication was interrupted.
"Hey, what are you gonna do, Greg, Chuta... about the prince"
"Hmmm......"
Three days later. Undo the curse by then... meet me in the flying carriage, what do you say?
I thought I'd finished making new magic, but they've brought in new challenges again.
