“Thank you, Leechee!! If I could use this, the theater would take less time to clean up and be much easier to prepare!”
On the stage of the Grand Theatre, Sylvia's eyes sparkled when she saw what Leechee had brought in.
The theatre, which has no audience, is frequented by echoes of talking. The opera troupe is praising Sylvia for resuming the performance, which was postponed due to her poor health.
It seems that everyone entered the theater on this day, and repeatedly practiced meticulously in order to make it better even if it was postponed.
Invited into such a theater, Leechee revealed her purpose to the troupe, including Princess Sylvia, on the stage that served as an operation desk.
Sylvia is scooping up an artificial petal created by Leeche's alchemy.
The opera people were very pleased when they explained the petals that looked like snow and disappeared over time.
"Oh, Mr. Leechee. Uh, may I ask you a question..."
Yeah, make yourself at home!
"Oh, thank you, bye." These petals are white, but can they be colored? ”
“Yes! The colorants change the proportions of the chemicals, so you need to verify it beforehand. Rather than that, the colouring material will remain when it melts, so the problem is one way or another--"
"Leechee-sama, what should I do... if I want to make a lot of it?"
"When mixing, it gets heavy, so it may be the hardest to prevent unevenness. It's an unexpected health match!"
As various questions and ideas arise, we will answer each one. What emerges from the troupe side has many perspectives that Leeche does not have as an alchemist, and it is very fun and exciting.
However, the people in the troupe were somewhat reluctant.
"Ri...... Mr. Leeche, if I may ask you one more question......"
Although I am interested in this artificial petal, I can also see the expression that it is difficult to hear.
But there were other reasons for that, rather than being awkward to Leechee. It is clear at first sight.
(Of course you're already curious about that.)
Leechee sat comfortably in the middle of the front row of seats without an audience, watching the person with a cheek stick on her armrest.
Even if you gently look down from the stage, the look is breathtaking. Anyone who lies that he is a fancy actor standing in this theater is likely to believe it.
But the person is not, of course, an actor.
(--- His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of one country is present at the opera performance meeting...!!)
Arnold, who was present here, looked at the discussion between Leechee and the troupe with a disinterested expression.
(Ugh. I can't believe His Highness Arnold is really here with me...)
It was decided yesterday, after a rainy day in Higashiya, that we would collect Cantera and return to the palace.
So, Your Highness, I'd like to introduce you to Sylvia and the opera group about the artificial petals I just showed you.
...... ahh
The resumption of the postponed performance is almost here, and I have to explain how to make it, so it would be difficult to invite Silvia to the castle alone. That said, calling a large number of opera troupes at this timing..... "
Leechee was suspended because she cared about Arnold's father.
It was possible that the current Emperor was watching me because I had just joined the bowls.
And if Arnold is on the alert for infiltrating agents, so is the Emperor. It's not strange that you've come to the same idea as Arnold from some source.
I'm sure you should refrain from having guests from outside.
Arnold seemed to have immediately understood what he had to say.
Do you want to go to the opera?
"Yes, if you will forgive me." I'd like to visit the opera troupe and talk to you...... ”
I told you. I'll do whatever you want as long as I can. "
Glad to hear Arnold's words, Leechee thanked him with a broken cheek.
Thank you, Your Highness Arnold!
Isn't it better to be quick? I'll adjust it tomorrow morning. Prepare yourself. "
”... nnh?”
What do you mean by adjustment?
"Ah, that highness, it's okay." I'll go out casually and come back soon, so you don't have to arrange for escorts...... "
I don't have a guard on me. It stands out because of the large number of people. "
That's right, isn't it? Now, let's say it's an adjustment. "
I'm coming with you.
In response, Leechee opened her eyes wide.
"The official business with your ex-fiancé should be done in the afternoon after that." Your purpose can be accomplished in a day, that's fine with you, right?
{Wait... please wait!! I can't wait for you to hang out with me!! "
What are you talking about?
Arnold holds two extinguished canteras in his left hand.
Then he put his right hand to Leechee and escorted her not to fall on the night road, but she left without looking at us.
I told you I'd come with you when you left the castle.
(Sure, I told you...!!)
I can't imagine that Arnold would be able to coordinate his official business and hang out with me on a trip that really doesn't mean anything to him.
And Arnold wore clothes for the retribution and visited the theater with Riesche, who was also retributed. The people of the opera troupe were naturally exhausted.
Your Highness Arnold......
Leechee jumped off the stage with a passage of explanation. You can land silently at such a height, but as a daughter of the duke, I will make a strange landing sound due to the unnatural movement.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I'll try it out, just a little bit more.”
It's okay. You don't have to hurry, you don't have to worry about it anymore.
I'm sure you can say that, but I don't have the heart.
There comes Oliver, Arnold's squire. After that, Oliver accompanied him on his way to his official duties.
“Your Highness, it appears that we have made adjustments to your claim. I thought I'd meet you here in the afternoon."
"Okay. Okay."
"Rendezvous?" I wonder if you mean Dietrich.
"Also, just a little about this." Are you sure you want to step back and avoid the crowd? "
……
Arnold stood up with an obviously troublesome smell on his face.
"Welcome, Your Highness Arnold."
When Leechee said goodbye, Arnold stared at Leechee with his blue eyes for a few seconds.
"... Your Highness?"
For some reason, Arnold holds Leechee's back with his hand.
On top of that, I pulled my lips as if I were mouthing them to my ears.
"... Leeche"
"Bhhhhh!!"
I was surprised by the tickling, and unexpectedly I heard a strange voice. Arnold took it and laughed tinyly.
(What, what, what!?)
But what Arnold said was surprising to Leechee.
"-Get Gootheil. He'll be with you this afternoon, so stay with him."
"Eh......"
Didn't Arnold deny Gutheil?
Leechee took a breath, and Arnold looked down and smiled as he stared away.
"I'll be right back."
"...... Say hello......"
Leechee muttered to herself as she watched Arnold and Oliver leave the auditorium in agitation.
(Why? After all, Lord Arnold will add Lord Gootheil to his kingdom as he has always done in his life...?)
But I don't know why I changed my mind yesterday or today. When you're puzzled, your back is shocked.
Whoa, Leechee!
"Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"
I was totally surprised, but it was Sylvia, who looked excited, who was hugging Leechee's back.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing now!! Your Highness Arnold gave you a kiss in the ear!? In other words, it's a kiss to say goodbye!?"
"!? No, it's not like that!!"
By the way, not only Oliver and Sylvia, but all the troupes on stage could have seen the interaction.
(In other words, in order to conceal that it was a secret earplug, His Highness Arnold played with his fiancés!? Well, that's what I'm talking about. But...!!)
"Ufufu, your face is so bright red, you're cute if you're a leechee!" Even though I was so worried about the wedding kiss, I'm not having so much fun with His Highness Arnold every day! "
"I'm not doing it!!" Because I didn't do it, I really...!! "
Leechee excuses her in a hurry as Sylvia, who was still hugging her from behind, peeled her red cheeks.
Somehow, I feel too embarrassed to sit down.
