Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

Milan, who had returned home from a four-day forcible army on a journey that would normally take a week, explained the situation to King Schburn so that he could roll in. Now between the king of the Royal Palace of Helifarte, Schburn and Queen Ives sit on the throne with a strong expression. In front of it is a tired bear bee and Milan kneeling on one knee. And Marie and Alye were also called to refrain behind the Milan and the others.

The depressing air filled me, and no one, not a word, uttered. Serene, who looked forward to the lily garden more than anyone else, is taken away by the dragon as soon as he arrives at the place. Who can predict such a thing?

"Princess Alye, how can I apologize for this incident………"

The first person to break the silence was Schburn. That lion king, Shburn, hangs his head on the princess of a small country that is not even old enough. If the king of another country sees it, he will lose his temper. But no one here can afford to be surprised at that.

"No, there's no need for Master Schburn to apologize. What no one can expect, such as being attacked by a dragon. It is like a natural disaster that cannot be prevented. Just because the royal family of Helifarte loves her so much, she'll be happy for sure."

Alye, whilst pale in his face, thanked Schburn with a hearty voice. Even though she is a small country, she is the first princess who carries the country with her. That's not just a boxed girl either. The princess, who has advanced and learned for her unusual sister and has honed her intelligence with her skill, is not of the same character as the brilliant 'princess' of another country.

"Gu......! My apologies, Princess Alye! Awkward bastard! Awkward bastard is just impudent!

Whether Alye's temperamental attitude stained him the other way around, Bear Bee, kneeling before Schburn, clenches his fist and cries so much that he bleeds. Despite being attached as Serene's escort, in the end, he just cut off a piece of dragon scales and failed to do one thing. It is the greatest humiliation as a samurai.

"Bear bees aren't bad! I... I told Serene to show her the lily flower garden!

Marie cries out as she is dragged to bear bee tears this time. With what I suggested, I'll never see Serene again for my lovely sister. With that in mind, Marie's little chest is about to be torn apart.

"It's okay, it's okay, dear Marie...... Serene is sure to be fine. She's a lucky girl."

Alye softly embraced Marie's shoulder, which covered her face with both hands. Alye, comforting Marie by saying so, also seems to be telling herself. Alye's voice is now trembling and he's about to cry.

Schburn sends a gaze to Ives. Drawing on her husband's intentions, Ives nodded silently, rising from the throne and exiting to support Marie and Alye, who cried. When it comes to healing grieving young daughters, Ives is the best.

The women will exit, and be among the kings three: Schburn, Bear Beech, and Milan, who stare silently at the floor.

"King Schburn! The Awkward... The Awkward must have been disgusted by his helplessness! The result of the hyperbole of wanting to brush the arms of the sword...... how unusual! How fragile! On getting laid, make amends with the lives of the awkward......!

"Bear bees, raise your face"

Schburn called briefly, but exquisitely, sewing between words against a bear bee who continued to blame himself as he sat down on the red carpet. A bear-bee with a creeping face lifts his face according to the life of his lord.

"Failure atones with its own life. That was the way of samurai in your country."

"You're right. Cut yourself in the stomach, then drop your neck and make a mistake…………"

"Is that really going to make amends for the failure?

The bear bee that I was trying to execute right now gave me a frightened look for a moment. Regardless, Schburn spins his words heavily.

"I'm not denying the customs of your country, but isn't that an escape? You cut my stomach. So what happens? Dirty the royal palace of Helifarte with your blood and guts, I lose an excellent samurai named Bear Beech. So who the hell benefits from this?

…………

"Bear bee, I used you so much because I respected you more as a responsible samurai than as a subordinate. In fact, how many people on this continent can face dragons and cut off scales?"

"Then how on earth should the awkward make amends?

"No one can blame you. You're the only one who blames you. If you still want to make amends, why don't you work for my country even more? Of course I hope so, everyone in this country."

"... Your will"

The bear had been leaning for a while, but after a while he wiped his face with the sleeve of his kimono and replied so. There were still tears left on that face, but he seems to have cemented his resolve.

"Bear bee, you stay back and rest a little. I need to talk to Milan."

"Yes!"

When Bear Beech stood up, he gave Schburn a gratuitous exit at an angle exceeding 90 degrees. The only ones left behind were Milan and Schburn.

"Father..."

"Oh, man, it's a hell of a thing."

Schburn sat back to throw himself on the throne and looked up to heaven. This is the first experience I've had with him. It stirs anxiety when you show pitiful attitude in front of women and children and subordinates. Though parents and children, there are still stories that can only be done between men.

"I…… must have made the right decision"

"Exactly. You made the right decision. Princess Alye is right, predictions such as being taken away by dragons, avoidance are both impossible and with natural disasters. If you follow the dragon and storm the White Forest cheaply, there's just death waiting for you there. But..."

So he stops the words, and Schburn rises from the throne. Walk straight to Milan, at a distance of about one person, and peek straight into Milan's empty eyes.

"You made the right decision, that's what I'm saying myself. But why is that disgruntled look?

"Did I really make the right decision? Although the dragon attacked me, the damage was done by Serene alone. There are hardly any injuries. You can say I minimized it. But..."

"Politically speaking, I can say that Serene was fortunate enough to be alone"

That said, Schburn took a piece of parchment out of his nostalgia. Here's what's written down there.

"It is a rare scale of talent that makes you feel less noble." Dear Helifarte, I dedicate myself to the kingdom of Helifarte, blossom my talents, and hope that this daughter will be of service to your country. "

"It's the contract you've signed in Arquila. This is how it works now."

If it was Alye, not Serene, who the dragon took away, it would be the fault of the Helifarte side after taking out the princess who had studied abroad from Arquila. The pursuit of responsibility will not be avoided. But Serene is only described as' a noble, not noble being with magical powers'. From the Helifarte side, it can be done by an accident to the extent that one civilian has been lost. I have very little pain.

"In addition, there is evidence that the bears cut off the dragon scales. If the dragon says the civilians have been captured, Arquila will not be able to pursue it any further."

"So Father doesn't care what happens to Serene if the state remains in shape, is that what you want to say!

Milan steps forward, eats and hangs on Schburn with momentum that just bites, but Schburn stares back with a harsh expression.

"Are you restless? You are surprisingly short-circuited and passionate for a cool face. Who does it look exactly like? All right? You're the next king of this country, and all of a sudden you're carrying Helifarte all by yourself. On top of that, we have to make future decisions. Well, what do you want?

"There's only one thing I want right now."

"What?"

"I want to go help Serene."

As soon as he heard the words, Schburn sighed long and deep enough to exhale all the air in his lungs.

"Were you listening to me? You think that I, the king, would ask such a ridiculous opinion of you, the first prince?

"I am thinking"

"Exactly. Stupid son."

The moment he said so, Schburn stepped on the carpet at his feet with tremendous momentum. Even the marble under the carpet is just crushing momentum.

"He said every flying lizard took away our cute Serene!? Are you kidding me! Forgive me! I will not forgive you!

Schburn yells in a loud voice, fortunately, that no one is around. Even now that he is a magnificent man, his temper, known as the Lion King, has not diminished at all. He loved his country and his people, but his most important being is still his own family.

Schburn was heartily ill that his beloved son and daughter, who were about his age - Milan and Marie - had not gotten along well, and because of that, the family had not gotten along well themselves.

That's where the white girl - Serene - showed up and solved the problem brilliantly. That's not all. My son Milan is growing rapidly physically and mentally, even though it has only been a short time since I took her away.

Something like the rush that was hunted down before disappears and instead is full of healthy vitality. That wasn't just Schburn, but Ives, my mother, was also aware of it. Now Schburn - No, for the Kingdom of Helifarte, Serene was becoming an irreplaceable family.

"Father."

"What?"

"I'm an enthusiast, apparently I inherited my temper from my father."

"He's a mouthless guy."

Schburn laughs bitterly. Milan returns the same look. This brings the story to a close. Next, then, we must talk realistically about whether it is specifically possible to rescue Serene.

"I say I'm going to help you, but do you have any idea?

"I expect the dragon took away because he had some interest in Serene. If we had targeted humans as bait, we would have targeted bigger prey, and too little to carry and eat and kill."

"I mean, isn't there a zero chance of being alive? But that alone won't tell us where Serene was taken."

"From the direction you flew away, you must have headed for the White Forest. This is also a guess, but the Red Dragon mistook Serene for an elf."

"You're an elf... you sure were a species with red eyes on white skin. I don't have much information, but I've heard that elves worship dragons. If you think about it, it's true that Tsuji doesn't fit."

Milan nodded, as affirming Schburn's dialogue.

"Overall, Serene could be imprisoned under the elves. To confirm, we'd like to explore the White Forest."

"Everything you're saying is speculation. The dragon may have already eaten and killed Serene, and you don't know if the Serene sent to the elf is safe? Sometimes it ends in total imprisonment. On the contrary, you may be considered an intruder and you may not be safe."

"I am aware of the danger. The Valvere humans enter the White Forest and are badly hurt by the elves. These things seem to be happening a lot here lately."

"Only people with magic powers can get into the White Forest. You can't take a bear bee. Most of those who possess the magic of our country hold key positions. We can't cut the power of the state on your too bad a bet."

"I don't mind the least. I will negotiate myself and form a force only with those who will come on top of it."

Schburn was stunned. Let me get this straight, it's even a maneuver. It's only a reckless plan called a suicide tour.

"That's so lame."

"Yes, but I want to. Serene once said this to me. 'Because the prince is the prince, I am unhappy'. I think I finally know what that means."

"What's the meaning of this?"

Milan closes his eyes. Behind the lid (eyelid), a pure white girl appeared offering a meal with a laugh, but shook off the thought. We don't have time to immerse ourselves in memories of the past now.

"As a 'Prince of Milan', I have made judgments on the spot. Sooner or later, as a king, she behaved correctly, she spoke correctly, she smiled correctly, but she knew what I was all about."

"Hmm..."

"Before I was a prince, I was a person called Milan-Helifalte. I was tormenting myself with all my concern for the title Prince. I really want to fight for Serene who saved me that. You may be wrong, but can you be a man who can't save every precious girl and rule a country?"

Milan was ready. The pride and title of the prince were all abandoned, and Milan became an adventurer to save Serene, to reach the elves of the White Forest.

"Totally... I don't care about stupid sons like you. I'm stubborn on this street, even without you. And Marie, that's an excellent beloved daughter, too. Marry a wonderful son-in-law like you. Remember, no matter where you die, this country is safe."

"So you want to fight without worrying about your hindsight. Thank you."

"... that's what I'm talking about. Wait a minute."

Milan looked at Schburn's back as he suddenly turned and returned to his room. After a short while, Schburn returned with a sword. It is a simple iron sword with no embellishment whatsoever but a red gem embedded in the patterned part that reinforces the magic. Schburn waved it gently with one hand and offered it straight in front of Milan.

"This?

"Take it. Did your sword break?

"Yes, but! This is Father's............!

"Yes, it's the love sword I used when I was younger. It's not what you used to blunt."

With trembling hands, Milan received the great sword of Schburn. Unlike Milan's broken skinny sword, this sword, fated with its young father, is very 'heavy'.

As a child, Milan still remembers being seriously beaten when he really wanted to touch this sword and reached for it. That was the last time my father wielded violence with simple anger, later and earlier. That's how important a sword is.

"Can I have it?

"Fool. Lend it to me. I told you when I brought Serene here, I raised you as a prince, but I'm not going to rob you."

Milan laughs, so does Schburn. That was enough.

"I'll be there as soon as I'm ready."

"Be sure to go home. Take Serene if you can."

"Yes!"

In response to Schburn's encouragement, Milan replied so with a short, but soulful voice. We have little information about the White Forest, the elves who live there. Although the men of Valvere stormed to attack the White Forest, only those who fled with their lives can see only the vague location of their settlement.

Even if we can find an elf's address, we don't know if Serene is there. Where you simply need to buy the anger of the elves and make money from the bone breakage. If you do poorly, you will throw your life away.

Furthermore, as Serene was at the Elves' side, we do not know how Serene, a human being, is being treated. I was thrown into an undisclosed land by myself, maybe treated like a slave.

It's too reckless to bet. We must carry out miracles as thin as paper.

"Serene......... I'll pick you up now!

Still not willing to pull to Milan at all. Even if I am alone, I intend to enter and fight an outcast demon. Serene gave light to herself, who was born with a harsh fate but never rotten, and vice versa. Now I have to shine a light on Serene.

How can I abandon that girl and have days of peace alone? Take a deep breath and Milan bears the great sword borrowed from his father. It's still somewhat heavy on skinny Milan, but its weight gives me courage on the contrary. Milan, with a grand foothold, left among the kings.

"Nesting is something that comes abruptly……………"

Schburn muttered so only one word of pomposity, but Milan never looked back. This could be the break up of a lifetime. We understood each other that way, but no further words were necessary between father and son.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Well slept!

On the morning of the fourth day after starting his stay in the White Forest, Serene stretched out on a bed of fluffy feathers. The place where Serene now lives was a specially ordered room that crept through the top of the giant tree that Gi, the chief, had prepared for me.

Gee, it seems to be a place like the one used by representatives of nearby settlements during discussions, so to speak, between the glances. The view from a huge tower-like location is spectacular and offers views of the bright white forest in the sun.

Wooden rooms are comfortable with a pleasant breeze. The interior decorations are also planted with fur carpets and glossy flowers on the walls. Although it is more elegant than a human castle, it is a much more luxurious space for your taste.

Serene gets out of bed with a piece of underwear and takes a sip of the fruit juice that was prepared for her pillow. Don't forget to put your hands on your hips. I wish this was beer if I could, maybe with a knob of kawahagi, but that's selfish.

Having moistened her throat with a refreshing sweetness, Serene accidentally began and ended up even radio gymnastics. This is the restful place Serene was looking for. But if we remain silent, in two weeks' time, we will be returned to the human world. That's all we have to avoid at all costs.

"Human, no."

I put myself on the shelf as a human being, and Serene shrugged so. Whatever it is, keep sitting in an elf settlement and live your whole life in peace. To that end, we have to do something to bring Alye here. I'd like to bring Ives and Marie with me if I can. That way I can complete large, medium, and small in Ives, Alye, and Marie.

"Greed, no"

But Serene denied his own thoughts. Think realistically, Ives and Marie will be difficult. I want to avoid being too greedy to take two birds with one stone. First, we concentrate on our destiny, and if we can afford it, we expand our forces, and this is exactly the stone of the military master. It's a big strategy.

"Whatever! Kanpei Bye!

Serene praised herself for her discretion not to be swayed by desire. Serene didn't realize that the idea itself was filled with desire, living in a flower garden in real life or in her brain.

"Princess, I'm back from reconnaissance."

Almost at the same time as I wrapped myself in a washed white dress, Butler appeared to slip through the window. In a routine event when he came to a place he didn't know, Serene had ordered Butler to scout the settlement. Butler greets Serene as he runs to the front and reports back on the situation.

'In conclusion, it won't be possible for me and the princess to get through this area alone. Somehow the elves are obsessed with Princess Serene, and it would be best not to move too badly and believe the words of the elves and wait for a transfer in a few days' time. '

"I see."

"Princess, let's be anxious that only one person is left behind by a strange species. But it's a little more patience. In the unlikely event that you do not send it back to a human, etc., I will now slap it mercilessly. If I wasn't even alert, I'd be able to handle it enough by myself '

"Yeah, not at all, go"

Serene gently stroked the excited Butler with a smile. He says he shouldn't wield as much violence as possible, even though his opponent would be an elf. Seeing Serene's serene expression, Butler was ashamed of his own roughness.

"(If it's true, you'll want to go home as soon as possible…)"

Around the time I asked myself to be a spy, it is clear that Serene wants to do something to get back to the human race. But realistically, the elf settlement is quite tightly guarded and we don't have the means to get out on our own. I can't do anything about all this.

All Butler can do right now is distract the thought man, Prince Milan, from the loneliness he can't see. That was teething for Butler.

"(Okay...)"

Serene, on the other hand, was listening to the report and stroking Butler with a damned grin. The lack of a means of escape means that there will be no extra interference from the outside. The biggest concern after bringing in Sister Alye is that that sexual prince, who is adamant with her sister, will beat her up to the elf settlement. Fortunately, apparently that's pretty hard.

"Butler."

"Yes, what is it?

"Consultation, there is"

As soon as I know what's going on around me, I need to talk to you about bringing Alye in.

"Consultation, is it?

"Yeah, important, very"

Butler, feeling an unscrupulous atmosphere in Serene's tight expression, tightened himself up and waited for the word of the Lord.
