Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime
[Outside] Real Friends
"Bullshit, maybe a little too hard…………………"
Marie leaks a small sigh in the courtyard of the Royal Palace of Helifarte, by a small pond set in that corner. Although Serene and I had a rough conversation the other day about becoming "friends forever," the opposite was true of Marie's troubles.
It's nothing like playing, but Marie, who was sick and tired of being a nobleman, had never done it before, and was unwilling to do anything other than Serene at the moment. But now that I think back on it, Marie had momentum to teach Serene and forced him to push. That's what came to mind.
"Serene, I hope I'm not offended......"
Marie, who doesn't have friends her age, doesn't know how to get along with others. There are as many people who wield their tails if they wield power, but not one person who can be called a true friend.
There is no doubt that Serene is a hearty child. So isn't it just tailoring me to my pushy self? If so, can that really be described as a friend? It really makes me feel that way.
"Ah."
Marie dropped one ring in the pond because she thought it was blurry. Po, and a small ripple, the ring sinks into the pond. This pond was built just for the landscape, the water depth is shallow, reach it well, but I didn't like it because it gets dirty when I stick my hand in the pond.
"Ma, fine."
It's not a very expensive ring, and I have many other gemstones. Marie regained her mind and returned to the royal palace.
Returning to the royal palace, Marie heads straight to Serene's room. There is simply a desire to see Serene, and there is anxiety that if we do not meet and talk as much as possible, we will not be able to stay in a relationship of friends. Losing what you get once is a lot harder than not getting it from the start. Marie was afraid of it.
"Marie, hi."
"Good morning, it's almost evening."
As always, Serene is weak at noon and gets herself out of bed even though she seems to have slept a little. As for Serene, her conversation with Marie has been one of the few healing times since she left her sister.
That's how Marie tells Serene about the day classes and events that have no other love. That's been the routine for these two lately here. Of course, it's Marie who keeps talking. I was fortunate to Marie and Serene that I couldn't possibly be able to talk about Serene carelessness or anything else, and I had to force myself to be a good listener.
"There are many shops in Castle Town that make beautiful clothes. Next time, why don't you come with me?
"Yeah, well…………………."
"(After all, I wonder if my story is boring)"
Marie talks hard about a topic that everyone would likely eat if it were a girl, but Serene just laughs and nods vaguely. That's what makes Marie's heart squeal. After all, I was wondering if Serene was just taking care of the surface.
Before we fix it, Serene's contents are a middle-aged man, so it's far from the preference of a ten-year-old girl. It's not that Marie's story is boring, it's just that Serene is crazy. I'd rather have trouble wearing it.
"Oh, yeah, yeah. I dropped a ring in the pond today."
"Go? Where?
Serene, who barely replies with a snort, seems to have been intrigued by the pond part, so Marie stepped up a bit of her tone and spins the words as they were.
"There's a small pond in the courtyard. I stopped by somehow, but I'm glad I had to go. It's not like I'm gonna have any trouble losing it."
"Well."
Why do you care about just the pond when you don't like to talk about clothes and rose gardens? Marie wondered, but it had been a long time since she realized. I used to hang out with myself and get Serene sick, and Marie left the room behind with the thought of getting her hair pulled back.
"Go..."
"Princess, what have you done?
"Hey, sampo"
When Marie leaves, Serene gets out of bed, dresses up and leaves the room alone. He told Butler under the bed to just walk on the property close to the Royal Palace in Helifarte, leaving the Royal Palace behind. The time is already in the evening, and the sky is already stained with cedar.
While making the long shadow magistrate, Serene reached the pond where he was taught. Even the vast courtyard is close to the royal palace, so even Serene can easily walk in. It's not an emergency reservoir, it's really a small pond about a children's pool for landscaping purposes.
There were several beautiful species of fish there, swimming relaxed looking good. A tea party or something on the lawn next to this pond on a well sunny day will make you feel refreshed.
- And, normally, I would think, Serene's purpose was completely different.
Serene hands on the stones around the pond, arms wrapped around her and softly dipped her hands. The depth of the water is very shallow and even a small selenium can reach the bottom. Probably thirty centimeters. That's where I said it. The spring sun won't make the water temperature so cold, and even Serene, who can't swim, won't drown.
"All right, come on!
Serene smiled brilliantly. Neither Helifarte nor Archira have much culture of eating fish because the sea is not so close. As a former Japanese, Serene, I occasionally want to eat fish asexually. I don't know if it's delicious, but there are quite a few fish, and you won't be able to lose one or two. We did it. Baked fish tonight.
Catching wild fish is a tough business, but it will protect you from the outside world and make up a screen of fish that have been peacefully bogged down in such a small pond.
"It's warm."
Serene shrugged so. By the way, the word "lukewarm" now means "lukewarm in difficulty" and the word "lukewarm in water temperature". I meant to say something intelligent and good myself, but I'm not very good, I'm not intelligent, I don't care.
At night, he falsely reported to Butler that he was going to wash his hands, and Serene headed to a place commonly known as the Ornamental Fish Pond.
"Ami, I didn't …………"
Serene, who had relied on moonlight to walk to the banks of the pond, groaned regrettably when she arrived. On the contrary, the net was not available in the first place. So if we could just give up, Serene, who is tense about eating, decided to go on the rampage of taking fish by the clue.
When Serene in his past life was a boy, he had caught fish by hand in a neighborhood field. It's a story that's already weathered decades ago, a pitiful story that brags about the hundreds of tests I took when I was in elementary school.
"Me, Higma!
Yes, I am a hippo who catches Shake in the torrents of Hokkaido. So he hangs his self-suggestion, and Serene walks into a muddy pond on the bottom of the water, barefoot for nothing. For once, keep the hem of the dress tied. The pricey dress that allowed me to buy a few Arquila houses was treated like gymnastics.
"Ooh!
Serene gazes at the clear surface of the water and strikes a nearby fish. But it can't be that easy on a boulder. Sure, the fishes here may be peacefully bogged down, but there is no fool to be caught by Serene, whose brains are as warm as the foggy lake around Momoko.
"Whoa!
Still, perseverance is only a first-class product. Serene sticks her hands in the water again and again. But it's empty all the time. As for Serene, he was waving his hands around with the thought of becoming a bear, but from the side, he just seems to be scratching the water around.
"Oh, yes!
But even a few bad cannons hit it, something caught Serene's hand. The object I gripped desperately was just an algae, but it contained a ring with a dark green gem.
"Shit."
What, it's just a ring? Speaking of which, Marie said she lost it during the day, but she also said it wasn't worth it. I tongued at the hassle that wasn't the fish of interest, but Serene stuck it in her nostalgia once. Come on, it's a fishery resumption.
"Serene! What the hell are you doing!
"Ugh!?
Suddenly he was called out from behind, and Serene trembled. Looking back in a hurry, Marie stood there with a suspicious look on her face.
"Marie, why?
"That's not why I'm here! When I went to Serene's room, there was no one there. The castle people are looking for you right now!
"Huh!?
"I was worried...... oh already! I'm so drowsy! Why are you doing that?
"Mizu, shiitake, ok, ok, eh, eh..."
Serene managed to delude herself with a humble smile, but there was no way she could do anything about it. Marie gives instructions to the soldier who was following her behind and makes her pull Serene up from the pond.
Serene was forced into the bathroom without question. After being cleansed, Ives was annoyed by the tears. If it was Milan, I would have ignored it, but since she was the queen of big tits, Serene apologized softly, so the case was settled.
"Ha..."
Serene went back to her room, changed into a sleeping roll and lay in bed. It's a bad day. In the end, fish were not eaten and only fatigue remained in vain. But at the end of the day Ives gave me a gentle hug saying, "Don't worry about it," so I had a crappy profit and loss account that might not be so bad on the whole thing.
"Good luck, Princess."
"Stuffed."
'But why didn't you ask me?
"I have to do it, no"
If I said I wanted to steal a pond viewing fish and eat it, etc., I would disagree with Serene no matter how much sweet Butler. This was a mission Serene had to sneak off on her own.
Butler, however, when he heard Serene's words, for some reason narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and smiled softly.
'Sure, this was something the princess had to do. Don't worry, I've handled the rest properly.'
"……… What?
I don't know what that means. The door to Serene's room was knocked just as Serene tried to ask Butler. The door opened before Serene could come in, but it was Marie who was standing there.
"Marie, what are you doing?
"Um... Serene, I'm sorry I got angry earlier"
"On the basket, okay."
Getting mad at blonde Lori is more of a reward. Serene didn't really care, but Marie leaned over a little sorry.
"Hey Serene, answer me honestly. What the hell were you doing in that pond?
"Well, the………………"
I snuck into the pond in the middle of the night and tried to eat the fish in your house, without even being able to say Serene. Marie looks like she's going to cry. Could it have been Marie's fish? A little silence flows between Serene and Marie, but Marie approaches Serene's pillow and offers her hand.
"You were looking for this, weren't you?
"…… huh?
That said, the hand Marie offered had a ring I picked up in the pond earlier. Serene, who had been depressed without eating fish, was not in the corner of his head about the ring, and his clothes were put in the laundry in the first place. I wonder why Marie has it.
"Before the princess's clothes were put in the laundry, I delivered them in front of Maribel's room."
Butler snuck up from under the bed, but he answered that well.
Butler had also heard that Marie had dropped a ring in the pond under her bed. But it is Serene and not Marie that Butler serves. I didn't want to interfere.
But as soon as Serene went to see what the pond was like in the evening and went out even more at night, Butler immediately realized what Serene was trying to do.
- Because of my irreplaceable friend, I went looking for the ring myself, not to mention getting dirty.
Of course, Butler knows there's no danger. Preliminary investigation was well conducted. So I dared to pretend I hadn't noticed Serene. Butler could not speak to the Lord, who was desperate to spin in the pond, though he and his men's rats were going to find him in total mobilization.
Yes, this is Serene's intentions as a friend to Marie, and she shouldn't step in as much as a butler. Serene's impatient attitude seemed to speak so.
Fortunately, Serene succeeded in finding the ring, but was taken intact by those who did not know the situation. At times like this, it is the butler's important role. Butler quickly pulled the ring out of Serene's clothes and placed it in front of Maribel's room door. Later it is as it stands.
"Thank you, Serene! I'm so happy! I'll make this ring a treasure!
Looking extremely impressed, Marie hugged Serene. And Marie herself well understood that the anxiety in her heart was going to melt away.
I wonder what a fool I am. Until now, there has been no one in Marie, such as a friend who is as muddy as Serene and searches for one cheap ring. Serene has a small mouth count, but he showed his friendship in action. For Marie, that's what makes her so happy.
"I'm happy, too"
Serene, hugged by Marie, also smiled back. It's a shame I couldn't eat the fish, and I just found one ring, and I'm not sure what it is, but it was appreciated and hugged. Marie doesn't have a chest yet, so softness isn't good, but adding the rarity of being hugged by a blonde Lori girl would be a pretty high score.
As for the fish, let's sneak off to catch them almost where they've cooled down. If you can, you can have a net or pole and connect today's failure to tomorrow's success. Serene decided to be satisfied with Marie's hug for today.
Marie, unaware of Serene's evil thoughts, wrapped the ring with both hands as if it mattered, and when she returned to her room she gently slipped it into a jewelry box where she kept the most important things. This cheap ring with a little jewel became a lifetime treasure for Marie.
It should be noted that, as we all know, Serene is caught up in various events after this and is no longer in a very pond fish targeting situation, but that is another story.
