The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge
75 Queen and Princess, Stige's Gateway
Leaving Stige, no longer three days.
Take the streets through independent countries, heading west.
"Speaking of which, sister, what about that sword you put on your hips?
"This?"
Melo pointed to the sword on my right hip.
Pah, something that looks like the usual swordbreaker, but is actually completely different.
"It's just a sword. I have it because I'm a little unreliable to being round hips, but I'm also bringing the gauntlet, and I probably didn't want it after all."
That long swordbreaker, apparently, was the one thing the leader had you make at play.
I didn't sell it at the weapons store or anything, and I didn't get it.
"I see your sister is unarmed."
"I don't have much trouble without it, but in my case"
"... eh... eh!
'We're going to the bluff, so take a proper bluff!
Beato protested around worrying.
"That said, you don't have such a long, sturdy, special swordbreaker, in any weapons store."
"... heh heh. Weapons are what we buy at weapons stores, and the idea is sweet!
What, this tension on Melo?
"Tomara goes south of the kingdom, through the inconspicuous streets, into the subhuman realm more than south."
That's what I'm going to do.
I don't know, my eyes are shining.
Speaking of which, Melo's hometown of Fregenta is where magic items were studied.
Dealing with the Asians was also a thriving city.
Maybe that's what you like, Melo?
"In that passage, there is a Dwarf country. That blacksmith technology is just the best in the world! This is because I have to stop by. Shh!
Uh, I think I like this.
It's so tense.
Yeah, but Melo's opinion is the best.
Should there be a powerful weapon than riding in with a round waist?
That's a bit of a stopover on a long journey.

I'm still round in my room today.
I thought that fight would end it all.
My brother has always been cool, this time too, impotent...
"Liar......"
I told you I'd show you around, Stige.
My brother has lied to me so far... one or several times.
But you never lied to me like I was sad.
In the end, I just did what I wanted to do, pushed me into trouble, and I went far.
Concon.
What is it?
The door was knocked, and someone came in on their own.
"Excuse me, Mr. Stra"
"... Perl —— it wasn't. Belle."
It was the blonde maid who came in.
The identity is the princess who took away the shadow warrior Belle to her name.
I know by reason.
Neither my big brother, nor this guy, did anything wrong.
But I moan.
"What can I do for you? I just want you to leave me alone now."
"That's not going to happen. I have to report to the Queen on my affairs."
This is the one who's doing this for me, independent Stige.
They think you're a high-spec maid.
(If you're a maid, I'd rather do it)
It's great to get paid for chores.
I'm more of a queen than a queen.
Get out of bed and look through the paperwork.
I know what it means to say, but on the contrary, I was annoyed.
The princess who obtains the paperwork is kind of flat.
I remembered the scene when I got Belle into my way back then, and I was more annoyed, and I said it.
"Hey, you look fine. You don't think Belle thinks anything about it?
"What is it...?
"I hear you took over the country, sacrificed the real Belle, why can you stay flat?"
"... fine, do you think?
Pita, and the princess stops moving.
"Joana told me about it. All my brothers and sisters were executed in the Wang capital, and Bell was about to be executed on his own, and Elias saved him and went missing..."
The princess raised her face with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.... Out of the way! If you were crying round and round like that, would something change!? Will they all come back to life and get it all back together!?
... I did it.
How hard is that? That's eight wins.
You suck, I...
"Even if it's hard, we have to move on! Bear the corpse. But we have to move on without stopping......! Otherwise, to Bell, to those who have sacrificed themselves, what can I say..."
"... sorry, I said too much..."
"... no, that's okay. Because I also know how hard Mr. Stra feels.... So, I'm in this"
With a makeup laugh on Moro, Perne left the room.
You're so ready.
Is that the real princess?
It's nothing like me just being pushed...
Then, the next day, and the next day.
I'll bring the paperwork to my room, blonde maid.
Why is that?
Why am I bothering you so much...?
"Hey, how can you always laugh? I said such terrible things..."
Finally, I heard.
Even though I thought I shouldn't ask, I couldn't stop it.
"... I don't know, I can't leave you alone. It has always been so. It hurts my chest to see someone in trouble or grieving, or to hear someone like that."
But Perne, he talked to me laughing like I was in trouble.
"I also took part in the rebellion to defeat Burtoghu because I couldn't stand the appearance of a people suffering from my father's tyranny. Of course, if we rebel, many people will be hurt, blood will flow, and grief will arise again. So I couldn't make up my mind until I was critical..."
"... well"
I slept with this guy at his house for a month.
But that's when Perne played the city daughter completely and didn't show me her vegan self.
I've never heard the truth like this before.
"Are you still really glad to be a symbol of rebellion? I ask myself again and again if the decision wasn't a mistake.... Without that rebellion, your brother too --"
"That's not true!
My chest ached this time with a spicy look (kao) perne.
I have to make sure you tell him that's not true.
Jump out of bed and squeeze your hands together, face close.
"My brother is an idiot, so even if Bell wasn't determined, he must have done it! Killier alone was definitely forcing me! So it's not Belle's fault...!
When I desperately pulled it off, Perne's kao just loosened me up a little bit.
Behind my chest, which was ticklish, the pain just gets a little softer.
... Oh well, this is how I felt.
You had a bumpy chest like this when you came here every day and you were laughing at me.
I thought it was totally different, but it was the same.
Nothing is different from me.
"Stra, …"
"Hey, laughing like you always do? So it seems like I was saved."
It's a little illuminating, but I'll tell you exactly how I feel in words.
Did Killier say that before?
While you can say what you want.
Really, you're right.
"... no"
When I told him well, Perne smiled at me.
My chest ache disappeared so much that instead I kind of cum, as.
Is that it?
What is it, this?
Aside from that, Perne's ready to hear it before.
As far as I'm concerned, I couldn't really understand the feeling of trying to move forward until I carried the corpse.
So I want to hear it.
Because if you ask, you might understand.
"Hey, Belle. Why are you so ready to be heavy? You didn't even ask for it, but you've been treated like a princess since you were born, right? I didn't mean to..."
"It's easy. Because the people like their country."
"I like the country...?
Same.
Same as my brothers.
My brother and big brother both loved this stige and were desperate to get it back.
"How about you? Between hearing about your brother's death, you were looking around fine with a lot of things, weren't you? How was your birthplace?
"... I can't say it well, but I thought it was a good place. This is what my brother wanted to show you, because this is where we were born..."
"Did you want to help?
"............... I thought so. I think so. My brother took it back for his life, so it doesn't matter at all. It's a good place, we're all good people, and if I can help..."
"Isn't that enough?"
... Oh well.
I might have thought too hard.
I didn't like being forced by my brothers.
I rebelled and went out of my way to do all that had nothing to do with resistance to chores and stuff.
For a home I don't know, I couldn't put my life on the line.
Even now, I'd be sorry if they told me to put my life on the line.
"... yeah, I'll try. I don't know how far I can go, and I'm not sure. Queen, I'll just try."
I wasn't forced on anyone.
I knew this country and wanted to help it.
I chose it of my own free will.
If I thought so, Moyamoya was gone, and the grief of losing my brother was lighter enough to stand up.
"Really...... Okay, I'll help you as much as I can, too. It's just the right thing to do to practice queen operation."
"Haha. The Kingdom of Deltirade, you haven't given up yet."
"Naturally!... but because we're still going to be ahead. Until then, let me help you with your affairs, won't you, Queen?
It's a little naughty, with a perky tongue out.
I can laugh like that, 'cause I'm happy to know a new side, again.
"I really want to do chores, but administration is like chores, too, mon. Like a big household book?
"Heh, is that a household book? Mr. Stra, you're more of a mother than a queen."

Stige is a small country, and the royal palace is small.
Even though it's the capital, it's rural, and so is the people who live there.
But I'm relieved that some relaxing air is flowing.
Now I'm standing on the terrace of the royal palace.
From there, I'm looking down at the square where people from all over the city gathered.
"Sa, Your Majesty. Speak to the people."
My big brother finally bows down.
For one thing, Mr. Reid.
And Perne, a maid of honor, snuffed my hand.
I'm not a little nervous because I have everyone to support me.
So don't worry, brother.
"-- A lot of blood flowed. Stige won independence, but nothing is over yet"
Not yet. But I'm sure, because I'll make you queen we can all be proud of.
"It will continue to be a series of ordeals. But... but..."
To a queen like me, let her be.
"I will not let this country, which my brother has won, be vandalized again! Follow me, everyone, because I will protect you completely!!
With all my strength, I screamed.
I don't know about you as a queen, but this is who I am.
After the square was only quiet for a moment,
"Nice one - Stra!!
"You've grown... gu"
Clapping and cheering, and words like my relatives uncle flew by.
Looks like this is a good idea after all.
My brother told me that Stige is an idyllic place where nobody cares if his second son plays at sea.
If it were, it wouldn't look good to have a tough greeting.
Mr. Reid laughed bitterly, his big brother held his head, and Perne seemed to have some fun, to say the least.
"Ugh, I'm a little surprised. I can never imitate you."
"Haha. You can't imitate this. Belle is Belle, I'm me."
Today is the day that Stige truly became independent, the day he re-left.
It's the new doorstep day in this country that my brother loved.
