Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

Summer is the season. Serene became an investor in the Helifarte National University, a few months earlier. From spring to summer, so that the light of the sun was proportional to the increase of brilliance, the name of Serene was Helifarte, and it was known to foreign countries.

When it came to Serene at the time, I didn't like summer when the sun got stronger, and I slept in my room hikikomori during the day. By the way, in spring, I fell asleep feeling like I didn't remember the Spring Sleep Dawn, in autumn I slept comfortably in a cool climate, and in winter I was wrapped in a blanket to avoid the cold. I mean, I slept all year, and it wasn't like I was growing up.

"Princess! It's in your report!

"Mm-hmm?"

With Butler's voice coming to her pillow, Serene rubbed her eyes and woke up. When I glanced into the window, I could guess from the height of the sun that it would still be about noon. It's too early to wake up.

In a grumpy mood, he feels an unsolicited atmosphere and wakes himself up from the bed from the look of Butler running over out of breath.

"What?"

"Now that the talks between Prince Milan and King Schburn have been concluded, this Butler, has come at full speed!

I was wondering what kind of importance it was, but when I heard it, Serene looked up. Milan has business in the morning today, which meant that the workout is off. Naturally, Serene didn't have to make a murder lunch either, and today she decided to sleep out of her mind.

It doesn't matter if the prince talks to him, it doesn't matter if he talks to Serene, but Butler, with his tail and ears up properly, is in a really good mood.

"Actually, today's meeting was with an Archira messenger."

"Ho?

Serene was just a little distracted. Not at all thoughtful, but it's my own country for once, and I'm interested in what I've been doing.

"In short, I want Princess Serene to return home because I will color the gold I have received so far. You want to bring your deal with Elves to Arquilla. '

"What!?

Serene glanced at her because she didn't think she was going home now. In contrast to Serene like that, Butler spins the word in a slightly messy way.

"Ha, you seem surprised. But this is where the masterpiece comes from. Can the princess imagine what King Schburn replied to the messenger?

"What?"

When Serene asked, Butler stood on two legs and coughed up one. Apparently, it's an imitation of King Schburn.

"I had a rare customer who wanted crap, so I sold it at a high price by disposing of the stock. But it turned out to be the finest national treasure. I want the treasure back because I will give it back. After nearly six months, I was told that I have a customer who will give it back. You want me to show you something."

When Schbahn said so with a little anger, Milan, who had refrained from doing so, poked at the example contract. Serene is the language dedicated to the development of Helifarte. Which means I'll never give it back.

Butler, who had sneaked into the talks and witnessed the scene, seemed to have had a hard time indulging in the urge to pop out and applaud.

'I'm so sorry I couldn't show that scene to the princess! The lion king and the young lion shook them up and dispersed like freshman deer. "

"That's all?"

'... well, that's all I'm saying.'

"Yes."

Having listened to Butler's report all the way through, Serene wore a thin blanket prepared for the summer from her head, laying down again and closing her eyes. I am willing to go back to sleep.

"Hi, princess, is that all!?

"Enough, you're tired"

Serene, who should only sleep, was immediately traveling to the world of his dreams, to put it that way. Butler, who has been left alone, feels like a clap or something.

"Uhm, I didn't know it was going to be done..."

For Butler, Serene's reaction was unexpected. That's all the people who were tormenting themselves, and they don't have to go back to that cramped country anymore. More "Yay!" or, "Oh, my God!," or I thought that kind of reaction would return.

But Serene doesn't mind at all. On the contrary, I fell asleep immediately, not to bother telling you not to wake up with such nonsense. Sitting in front of Serene's face, who sleeps easily, Butler, contemplating the Lord's heart, eventually came to a conclusion.

'Oh! I didn't even know what I did!

It was something he had experienced himself. When Butler was young, he was abused by other rats. That is what now serves the best princess on the continent and has her home offered to the finest royal family. No rat would live more gracefully on this continent than Butler.

Once upon a time, when I had the power, I was even thinking of tearing the rats apart that one day were making fun of me. But I don't even think about that right now. I became the best mouse butler on the continent. Ravage the inferior ones, what the hell will it be?

I'm sure Serene is the same. I'm not interested in the fact that the little Arquilla people are making me feel any less comfortable now. So I guess this is how you can stand up.

"But the more I know about the princess, the more I feel the difference in the vessel..."

Even Butler took quite a while to elevate his hatred to pride. Serene is only eight years old. Even though he is still a young child, he has already climbed into the spirit of an adult.

"No, Princess Serene, how far will she go?"

Yes, Serene is going to grow. Even at the moment, she is a beautiful princess of the incarnation and the only one with unique talent. From now on, this young princess will be a poor girl and grow up to be a maiden.

"Heh heh, the Archira people, by now they will be regretting stepping on the Regionals. I can't tell the difference between a duck and a swan. The only thing that holds the eye of a pit is a single stomach ache, like taking the princess home. '

Butler watched Serene lovingly, imagining the remorse of the Archira people, a heartfelt thought. The chick they were abusing as a difficult duck was actually a beautiful swan.

Even as it now leapt to catch in haste, the grown swans were protected by the lions and flew away already high in the sky. Butler can't help but look forward to seeing how high this princess flies.

"It's not what it used to be. Hehe, I'm really looking forward to this. '

Yes, it's certainly not what it used to be. If it was the old Serene, he would have jumped out of bed now, chased the Archira messenger while he slept rolled, and begged me to punch him in jail. But now that I've found a better place to move in the elves, it was just a story about not having to go home.

Then a few hours later, Milan, who physically ousted the Archira messenger, arrived at the negotiating table with the elf today as well. It was no longer turned into a routine event, but I don't see Serene today.

"Oh Prince, isn't Princess Moonlight coming today?

"Princess Moonlight?

Milan tilted his neck slightly as Gi, who had taken his seat earlier, said an inexplicable word in a crushed tone. Then a little while later I noticed that "Princess Moonlight" was referring to Serene.

"Serene wants me to rest today because she's sick. I'm sorry for all the elves, but she's just a kid. Please forgive me."

"Why don't you let him rest, hey?"

Everyone nodded as Gi looked around at the elves present and spoke. Already months after the deal with them started. Vigilance towards humans has also diminished considerably, and there is no particular problem without Serene being present.

"By the way, that moonlight princess, what?

"Yeah, that's what the elves call Serene. It's perfect for him, isn't it?

Gi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-it seems that when the sun sets and the sky stains with purple, it appears that it will appear at the same time as the moon, so it began that one of the elves who worships Serene said so, and since then Serene has been called "Princess Moonlight".

"Princess Moonlight, or…………"

Milan also thought that the designation was perfect for her. When I first saw Serene myself, I thought of the word "Spirit of the Moon" because of the way he prayed under the moonlight.

In one way or another, it seems more appropriate to call a princess who immediately has blood on her head (hiccups) or a princess who is instantly boiling water, but Serene was given a title that does not have any body and does not correspond to the minute.

"Serene aside, I've made up my mind about studying elves abroad, okay?

"Yeah, about that."

Cutting off Serene's topic, Gi cut off the bargaining tone. As a matter of fact, it wasn't just about trading supplies, it was about the elves and the humans sharing each other's knowledge.

"Instead of providing our knowledge and technology, the elves will teach us how to use magic."

"Yeah, I've thought about it since I had it with you, but humans are shitty at handling magic. From what we've seen, a lot of guys can use magic depending on their workouts."

Gi says there are quite a few potentially magical people out there. However, they remain asleep without exerting their hidden power. Elves are more luxurious than humans, but they have more skill in handling magic and can make up for their weakness with magic.

If you can provide that technique, you can also benefit immeasurably for the human side. Of course, as a consideration, humans also intend to provide Elves with a variety of knowledge, supplies, and an environment in which they can learn, starting with iron production.

"I can't be happier for this country if more people can exercise their magic"

"Is that okay with you? Anyone who can use magic in a human being is special, right? It's against royalty and nobility, isn't it?

"Wealth is something that 10,000 people should receive, and the role of nobility is to make the people happy. That would make everyone happy as a result. My father and mother agreed completely."

"Well... if we were to be happy with each other, we would never have gone beyond that."

That said, Milan and Gi had a laugh. The elves and humans present also agree with the opinion because of the atmosphere it creates.

"As the first term of Elf's international students, you had a few young people starting with Lord Zana. I think we can arrange that in the fall, okay?

"No, it's winter as soon as it's autumn, right? Skinks are a hassle to travel because they hibernate when it gets cold, and I have to do winter support in the elves. So I want it to be next spring"

"Next spring. Copy that."

When the talk of studying abroad thus gathered, it then became the subject of a normal trade in supplies, and the meeting on that day was concluded without delay.

Milan, having finished the meeting, couldn't help but stop the grin from coming along while he was dropping off the elves. I'd really like to welcome the elves in right now, but let's keep the fun later. There are other new businesses in progress. Since they are parallel at the same time, the Elves' study abroad may be just fine next spring.

"Looking forward to next spring."

Previously unimagined attempts emerge from the next to the next, and they contain enormous possibilities for the future. Considering that all of this is thanks to Serene, we need to show more love to her. Milan once again regained his temper and rushed to his room to compile the report of today's meeting.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"I'm hungry."

'Above all, if you have an appetite. I wish there was something in the dining room.'

By the time Milan and the others had finished the meeting, Serene had Butler on his shoulder, walking alone in the corridor lit red even at night. Because he woke up at a strange time during the day, it was a hundred million dollars to wake up after he slept twice, so Serene was using pseudo-morbidity to shut down the meeting.

Dinner time is long overdue, but after satisfying his sleeping appetite, he has an appetite. He was going to sneak into the dining room now and try to fish for even the right leftovers.

As I walked for a while, a girl walking down the hall caught my eye. Marie is dressed in a crimson dress. She stands out well from a distance, but apparently walked through the gardens of the royal palace. She noticed Serene, too, and approached for a small run.

"I heard you're not feeling well, but are you okay now?

"Go, Rice, Want"

"You couldn't eat with me today. I want to follow you to the dining room with me, but I have to get Meer back to the cabin..."

Marie's arm, peering into Serene with concern, could hold a white lizard the size of a cat, called Meer. That was Skink's kid who was just born this summer.

Only Marie was allowed to have one of the skink connections given way by the elves the other day because she gave birth and promised not to repeat previous kitten failures.

The biggest difference between skins and horses is that skins are egg raw and prolific. Whereas horses can only have one child a year, skinks lay about four or five eggs at a time. In other words, it is better suited to mass production than horses.

For a large physique, a skin that is mild, durable and resistant to coarse meals would be a great help to peasants who can't get expensive horses once they increase it, if they meditate on the disadvantages of hibernating. This is one of the projects planned by Milan.

"Meer was worried, too. Right, Meer?"

When Marie spoke gently to the skink she held back, Meer also looked at her. It's like we have each other's will.

"You know, you might not believe me, but I kind of know what Meer's thinking."

"Really?

"Yeah. I'm hungry, I'm in a bit of a bad mood... somehow"

"I know."

"You believe me?

"Yeah."

Serene was very positive, because he was able to follow a talking mouse named Butler, so he thought it would be no surprise if he understood the lizard's emotions. Seems Serene's consent was surprising to Marie, and she makes her face shine all the time.

"You have a very flexible idea about Serene! Even if I told everyone, no one would believe me. Speaking of which, Serene rats are smart, too. Do I look like the owner after all? I hope Meer will be like that too."

"Dear Maribel, it is an honor to leave you with a compliment."

Butler, who was put up on the subject, draped his head respectfully over Serene's shoulder. It seemed strange how that looked like a human being, and Marie blew it out.

"Then I have to get Meer back to the cabin. See you tomorrow, Serene."

"Bubba."

Holding Meer with one hand, Marie returned to her skink cabin in the garden. There's no way the princess is going to sleep with her skin, so at night she's going to have to put it back in the cabin. Butler was looking strange to see Marie leaving.

"Butler, what are you doing?

"No, I thought maybe Meer would be just like us."

"With Doyuko?

'Master Maribel possesses quality magic. I was just a mouse, too, but after spending a long time with the princess, I was able to be who I am now. I thought the situation between Meer and Maribel was similar to ours. "

"I see."

'Well, if it feels like it now, it's still going to be a long way off. Whatever. He's a newborn baby. If Meer became a wise beast, I'd have to educate her. He has to work out as a butler apprentice because he serves as a friend of the princess. "

That's what Butler said and put his thoughts on the future. It seems that the skin will become a beast in about two years, but by next spring, it should be about a boy, in human terms. When the time came, I was thinking of giving Meer the knowledge she had.

'Princess, do you remember the words I said on the last night I spent in Arquila?

"What is it?

"We're talking about the princess being happy being the best vengeance for what she abused."

"Like I said."

I was not dissatisfied with the treatment of Archira, so I only remembered Serene as much as I did not say such a thing. Butler, however, continues his words in tears, as he was impressed.

'Really, really... I'm happy for you. I have long understood that the princess is not the only one, but I was also unexpected to see such a large circle of flowers blooming.'

"More than that, rice."

"Ha! It is best for the princess to be laid to rest in that way. There's this Butler, so no matter what happens, don't worry. '

Serene does not break with the usual when it comes to accomplishing mankind's first feat. I really liked Butler for this undecorated part. More than that, Serene is now admirably hungry and wants a slice of bread over honor.

Butler was thinking of the future of the great Serene-Arkuilla as he wiped the tears in his eyeballs with his forelegs. More than what Archira told me to return the Serene, we had to acknowledge the value of the other side. The curse that was hanging on Serene is definitely breaking.

Not that situation yet, but it will soon reveal Serene's true identity as well. Those who want to know the origins of Selene, surrounded by mystery, are now not only in Helifarte, but also in other countries. Sometimes people's exploration and enthusiasm outweigh the cold, hard order.

Next spring, the elves will be here. I have to educate Meer. There is sesame seeds to be done, all of which are full of golden glow. Let us walk upright on the path to glory opened before the Great Lord. Butler had a truly satisfying look on his face, shaken by Serene's shoulders.

- So Butler didn't realize that beside that path of glory, there was a little black shadow. that one crow remained on the branch just outside Serene's walking corridor.

The crow, gah, and a creepy voice, winged without any bitterness when it was night, and flew away to blend into the dark night.
