After receiving dinner from the bath, each returns to the room to which they were addressed. Yufi and I are in the same room, so we will go back to the room together.

Then the two of us sat down in bed and Yufi shook the conversation.

"Well, Anis. Before talking to Emperor Lukeheim, please tell us what Anis felt in this bath."

"Oh, yeah. Christine knew about it, and she would have time to hear her thoughts."

"Even if we are friends and comrades, we must keep the line tight. I need to separate the information that I can give you for free from the information that I don't. It's my job to measure the value of anise ideas."

Yufi said that with her hands on her chest. I don't have to think about it a bit if I just think of it, but I don't think we should build a relationship between countries by providing it free of charge.

I can't judge the boundaries, but I think Yufi will sort them out with responsibility.

"That said, there's only really an idea I can come up with.

"Anis"

Hmm?

"What do you think of some countries that are undergoing reform because of your ideas?

"I'm sorry."

Yufi stuck a nail in her face with a smile, and I apologized as I twitched my mouth a little.

"Um, what should I say first..."

"Do you have more than one idea?

"Well, there's also a reception place from the previous life... I guess the first thing that comes to mind is a swimsuit."

"Is there a problem with your swimsuit?

"No problem, but isn't it fun to have one design?

White swimsuits like seawomen aren't bad, but I wish I could choose more designs if they were corners.

I don't need to go to anything like a swimsuit from the previous life, but I think it would be nice if you could increase the design if you think about playing at the sea.

"The ocean is a different way of dressing up and enjoying places, right? In other words, I think you can put it in the same frame as a ball."

"... you mean to make your swimsuit as gorgeous as a dress?

"Yeah, I can't swim in a driftstone dress, so I have to think about simplifying it a little bit more or whether the fabric is water-resistant. If it's possible to dye, I wonder if I can start by dyeing and patterning it...?

"... it might be a new idea to think of it as being in line with the ball. If the quality and design of swimsuits become popular, it may become a new industry."

Yufi returns his gavel with a reflective expression on his chin.

"Men's swimsuits may not need to be gorgeous, but the sea is dangerous. That's why I thought it would be better if I put on a new bathing suit to make it more functional, so it's easier to swim. Women are gorgeous, men are functional. But I think technology as a swimsuit can be shared, so if you create a functional and gorgeous swimsuit, it will be popular.

"In order to do this, I think we need to raise the profile of the beach itself....."

"It's weak to just swim and enjoy a different outfit. That's why I think it's a seafood product if I sell it. Here, serve snacks like street food."

Street food, huh?

I imagine a house by the sea. It may be difficult if the nobility is the opponent, but I think it will be popular if the culture of playing in the sea is also established for the unaccompanied civilians.

"Because there are delicious seafood in the corner, I think it can be easily eaten locally and fresh."

"Are you afraid of poison contamination....."

"Perhaps it would be better to apply, give permission, and monitor the area thoroughly… hire someone who is good at swimming and put it in place to deal with any trouble."

"... Anis, if I hadn't stabbed you in the nail, wouldn't you have accidentally spoken of this?

And Yufi murmured as she gazed at me. I was distracted by Yufi's allegations.

"... was that obvious in your previous life?

"Well, I wonder...?

"Hah... please tell me common sense. It's just that this is an empire."

"I know...."

"Be more aware that industry can move in one word."

"Hmm, that's a big deal...."

If it's a big deal, I don't blame you for it.

Yufi said with a sigh. But I'm sorry about Yufi, but I laugh. I didn't laugh because Yufi was crazy, but Yufi frowned easily.

"What's wrong?

"Sorry, no.... I wonder how far I've come."

Yes?

"I didn't think my words would change anything in the world a few years ago."

As a princess who can't use magic, I miss days when ideas and thoughts are despised.

You may not believe you told me what happened a few years ago. So many things have changed.

Everyone treated me as if I touched a swelling, but now I am worried that the Empire will pull me out.

Because it kind of seemed strange.

"... I know it's not something that can be changed, but people who occasionally make anise more humble than humble have something to think about."

"I'm not being mean.

"Then why don't you say that your self-assessment is low? If you think about your worth a little more, will you take care of yourself?

Yufi grabbed my shoulder and pushed me down to bed. Yufi's eyes were narrowed as she looked down at me, and she began to calm down slightly.

Ah, this may be a bit of a bad pattern. Hyu, you're breathing. He's the one who's going to have a bad time if he doesn't...!

"Yes, it's important! I'm so important, so important!

"... I'm too bad at deception."

"No, it's true. I'm not abandoning myself!

"That's not true. I'm sensitive to malice, but I just want you to stop being so blunt about favoritism."

"I know, I know!

"... really?

Ugh, Yufi's fingers stroke my throat. The sensation creeps up against your spine.

"... I'm worried. I wonder if they'll kidnap me someday."

Kidnapping? No way.

"You can't say no, can you?

"I won't tell you, but I don't think it's that easy to catch.

"Really?"

"Heh, really...."

"... because anise is very popular, I'm really worried when you tell me it's okay."

Yufi's nails gently scratched my throat and traced my clavicle. The way I touched it was ticklish and I tried to twist myself, but Yufi was lying down on my stomach so I couldn't escape.

"My place is next to Yufi!

"... really?

"Really?

"... then I don't really want you to focus on me. Even though you know it's a bad thing, that's what you think. Because the world you're looking at is different from mine, and you're scared to go somewhere. So please talk to me properly."

"Ha, yes...."

Ugh, what inspired Yufi's jealousy...? Anyway, did you get through it...?

"Did you enjoy the sea?

"Yeah? Yeah, it was fun."

Do you want to come again?

"Hmm? I see, if I can come again...."

"Then we have to pull the good terms from the Empire and sell the favors. I'm responsible for selling the idea to the Empire."

"I don't know, maybe I've already thought of something.

"Still, it is. I wish there was only one thing I could offer from the Kingdom of Palletia..."

Well then, I guess that would be good. Magic instruments "

"Magic instruments?

Yufi raised her eyebrows again.

"Isn't it a beautiful picture of spirits dancing on the ocean at night?

It is the fireworks of my previous life that remind me of them. Magic can be like fireworks, but no one in the Empire is as magical as the Palatian Kingdom.

In that case, I think it would be a good idea to invite spirits to dance in the performance of magical instruments, so I'll try to mouth it.

Then for some reason Yufi sharpened her mouth. Uh, what, why? What didn't work out?

"... Yufi?

"... it's not that interesting. I wonder if this will make you worthy again within the Empire."

"Were you worried?

I will.

"I'm next to Yufi."

"I know. I know.... there are times when you just want to lock yourself up. I get into trouble wherever I go, and I attract people...."

"No, the second half isn't about boulders!?"

"That's why I can't possibly forgive a past that made me lose that sense."

Hmm....? I don't mean to bring such a person in...? No, I don't think you'll ever be thanked for spreading magic tools. But I don't think Yufi has anything to worry about.

"Okay, Anis?"

"Eh, well, what...?

"The Irene Empire belongs to the Palletian kingdom, and it has different values than the nobles in particular. You may be used to being malicious to yourself, but that's because the aristocracy of the Palatian kingdom has cast magic on you. The Irene Empire sees your values differently. So be more careful how you feel about yourself."

"You know, even if you don't have to push me carefully...?

Even if I protest, Yufi seems to be dissatisfied or stubborn...

... hmm? Are you stubborn?

"... Yufi, are you stubborn?

"... why?"

"I couldn't swim well."

"... because I didn't have a chance."

No, that's true.

"I just thought about it again. If you think of something I can't think of, you might catch people in unexpected places. Honestly, I don't know how to enjoy the sea. But Anis soon finds value. Because you know. That... makes me a little anxious."

Yufi holds my hand and grips it together. Looking down at me with an expression of anxiety, I leaned a little and narrowed my distance.

"... I can't go anywhere. Anis"

If you say that with such a sweet voice, you can't help but meditate hard in your eyes.

I want to grieve, I want to grieve very much now. I'm sorry to trouble Yufi, but you don't have to worry about that.

"Yufi"

I reached out to Yufi's cheek thinking she was really cute. Keep your hands on the back of your head and hug Yufi.

Apply it to your mouth many times to replace the heat on your touched lips. Yufi leaves her body to me to be sweet and immerses herself in her mouth.

"I'm not going anywhere. We'll be together forever. There's a lot going on here for the first time, and even if it doesn't work out... it's good to be with Yufi."

Something like this happened, I'm sure it'll be memorable. So now let's get close to Yufi's anxiety and little jealousy.

You can hear the sound of small waves from afar. Hearing the sound, I held Yufi tight.

--In the future.

In the Irene Empire, the culture of recreation is rooted in beach bathing.

The water-resistant dress, made of water-resistant material, became a feminine aspiration as a beauty that lived on the beach.

The stalls, which utilized local specialty seafood, attracted further demand and led to the development of the territory with the bustling beaches.

And on special days such as anniversaries, the "Spirit Festival", in which spirits dance on the evening beach as a stage, was established as people's pleasure by performing magical instruments inviting spirits.

Singing at the Spirit Festival is a song that celebrates the friendship with the Palatian kingdom that started the festival.

As one of the two nations, this song will be perpetuated in later generations.
