Chapter 40

“Do you understand, Yanual?”

“At least attach a -dono, Ditzen. Even though we have known each other since childhood, you would be punished if you were heard by someone.”

“Enough of that. Listen to me, Yanual-sama you bastard.”

While frowning to Ditzen who spit out abusive words with an excited look, Yanual ate the fluffy chiffon cake.

“Mm…… this is delicious. What is this, this texture?”

“It is delicious, isn’t it, Yanual-niisama.”

The two sighed in admiration while savouring the chiffon cake with fresh cream on top of it and they had the same impression.

Seeing those two, Ditzen complains while knocking his palm on the table.

“This is certainly great too! But apart from this, there are those golems! No, this is also delicious to the point that it makes my eyes pop out, but still!”

“Umu, it’s so delicious. For me, this sweet bread was more shocking than the golems.”

“I agree. If you eat this, you will understand how much their country is developed, you know?”

Rebutted by Yanual and Yuri, Ditzen pouted.

“Anyone will understand such things if they see those golems.”

When Ditzen said that, Yanual laughed scornfully at him and narrowed his eyes.

“Hmph. Their golems and this castle shows their technical capabilities, and their food and their community landscape shows their cultural level. A country, that has formed an excellent culture, has high standards in basic areas such as food, clothing and shelter.”

“No no no! Such things is almost impossible to imitate because this is no doubt an alien land! Apart from that, this flying golem too! How could their golem fly!?”

While the two started a debate, Yuri quietly brought the cup to her mouth and savoured the tea inside it.

And, she sighed in relief.

“Oh my, this is delicious. I don’t understand the feelings of those people who are fighting in front of such delicious tea. Aren’t you being rude to the delicious tea?”

When Yuri muttered that, the two stopped their movements and glared at each other. Yuri smiles at the two who sat correctly in their chair silently.

When the balance of power between the three people was slightly seen through, I opened my mouth.

“So, I am thinking that if the time permits, I would like to show you around this castle today. Of course, I am aware that you are busy, so if you will say that you will return early……”

“I will stay for many days”

“Please give me permanent residence!”

Yanual and Ditzen simultaneously voiced that out.

Aren’t you guys, important people of Imperial Country?

As I exchanged glances with Mea and smiled wryly while thinking such things, Yuri speaks.

“Yanual-niisama? Isn’t there news that father will come to the fortress tomorrow?”

Seeing Yuri tilt her head curiously, Yanual breathe out shortly.

“I’ve already seen the face of father so many times! What’s unusual is this flying island!”

Hearing such words of Yanual, Yuri’s eyes becomes wide.

“Well, that is true, isn’t it? We have met our father so many times and he will not particularly visit at this time……”

When Yuri said that, Yanual and Ditzen nodded together.

Huh? Is it okay to make fun of the ruler even though he is their father?

I was shocked by the culture of the Imperial Country which is surprisingly loose and blinked my eyes.

After finishing the meal, first we went to the tower that can be reached from the first floor where doors are lining up on both sides and I guide them to the top of the tower.

We look at the upper part of the castle, the view of the island and the vast sky that spreads endlessly from the top of the tower.

“What a magnificent……”

“It is wonderful scenery, isn’t it? And the color of the sky seems to be completely different from the view from below.”

The two calmly enjoyed the scenery and Ditzen is walking around restlessly.

Without caring for such a Ditzen, Yanual speaks.

“No, it’s a really wonderful scenery. I want to try drinking the tea earlier in this place. It’s also good to drink in the sunset.”

“Oh my, that is fantastic. I will also come with you on that occasion.”

Maybe because Ayla holds a favorable impression of the two who said that while leisurely watching the scenery, she nodded while smiling delightfully.

“I also really like it. Occasionally, I have the chance to be brought here by Taiki-sama and drink tea together, and I was really able to have the best time.”

“Ooh, I was right after all. It will be a luxurious time when I look at this scenery.”

“I also want to live here. Would only Onii-sama return on the ground?”

“What did you say? Ha ha ha, I also want to stay here forever. Should I have Yuri be escorted to the ground?”

While the three people of the royalty are laughing together and chatting elegantly, Ditzen, who’s behaving suspiciously, approached me.

“Ta, Taiki-sama. I want to see the next place soon……”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Then, shall we go to the next place”

When I answered that, a brilliant smile appeared as if a flower had blossomed on Ditzen’s face.

Yanual looked at him hatefully and cut in from the side.

“There’s not much time, Ditzen. Today, I want to fully enjoy the scenery of this tower. I will enjoy the scenery here leisurely, so why don’t we look at the next place when we come here again tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow!?”

Hearing the words of Yanual who is too relaxed, the brilliant smile of Ditzen disappeared in an instant.

I reflexively burst into laughter to Ditzen who looked at me with a face that seems to cry and I say.

“No, certainly, as Ditzen-dono said, time is limited. First, I will give you a brief guide and after that, how about you try to enjoy things by yourself one by one?”

When I said that, Yanual look at Ditzen with eyes as if looking at a trash.

“See that, Ditzen? You were taken into consideration by Taiki-dono. If you observe Taiki-dono’s presence of mind, anyone will understand that he really wanted to spend a day at the top of the tower.”

When Yanual said that, he looked at me and speaks again.

“Most of the practitioners in our country are thoughtless people like this. I feel sorry for them.”

I return a vague smile to Yanual who said that and laugh.

No, I don’t like to stay all day long at the top of the tower.
