234 9-14 Sand Country Roukaku Roukaku Queen Koren

The defeat of the earth dragons was progressing well, and after finishing our own charge, we were slowly advancing towards the capital.

My role was to evacuate with Wendy and Desert Parasauro and give recovery potions to Aina and Sorte and the others who had small wounds, but I'm glad that no one was seriously injured and everyone was safe.

Probably Kuduro-san is waiting for our arrival in the capital.

Hmm. I saw the city.

Oh, it's finally here. It's the capital of Lokak.

When I looked at the direction that White was pointing from the top of the hood, I could see the city, which I could tell was large even from here.

The castle walls are made of pure white walls, just like the other towns, and that big palace-like thing is probably the castle.

''.............................''

Hmm?　Someone's coming over here?

'Princess!

Ah, it's Mr. Kuduro.

I can easily recognize Kuduro-san as the one who shouts in a very audible voice even though he's still far away.

''Princess!　Good luck!

You're okay, aren't you? I defeated him.

Quite a feat. But you came very quickly.

There was one place where the ground dragon was missing. I searched around, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

One place, that is, is the place I told Cassandra about.

I didn't tell Renge and the others, and there was the possibility that if Cassandra hadn't visited, I stopped by and found that there were supposed to be quite a few ground dragons there, but there were no shadows or shapes left.

Even after talking to the townspeople, they said that they had been gone for some time, which saved us a lot of time.

Hmmm..... Then they may have moved somewhere else to defeat it. There are reports from all the towns that there is no sign of the Jiryuu, so there is no need to worry about it anymore.

Is the army done with you?

Yeah. I returned yesterday. I'd like to have Shiro-dono rub it in.

Hmm. You're free to go.

'That's it!　I want you to beat the crap out of him.

No, I mean, if you say things like that, White will really beat you up, right?

Mmmm, I'm feeling a little motivated because the Jiryu wasn't tough and tasty...not because it wasn't good...right?

Well, first of all, let's go and tell Lady Coren what's happening. Since the princess is coming, I'm prepared to prepare a sumptuous feast for her. Oh, and don't worry, of course, there are no worms in the house.

I really appreciate that.

You know what I think of you, Mr. Kudrow, you're a great guy.

Dinner!

Oh, White's eyes are shining.

That's right. After finding out that the Jiryu wasn't tasty, your motivation was lowered to the point where you could see it.

Even so, you still managed to defeat the Jiryuu.

''Shiro-dono is a meritorious man, you know!　I want you to eat your fill!

Oops, I took my word for it.

Now White's limiter has been lifted.

What happens you don't know?

"Well how about tomorrow?　I need a good night's rest in bed today, but...

I can also very much understand why Renge is right about taking it easy and resting afterwards without the need for vigilance, preferably not in the back of a load. I agree.

But since White's mouth is open with a gurgle and he's in shock, I'd like him to eat his dinner if he can.......

''As for me, I don't mind, but.......perhaps Coren-sama will sulk.

'Uh....'

'I'm sure you'll all want to take a bath, too. There's always hot water available. ........Hmm?　You all look so beautiful....

Well, I take a bath every day.

There was no need to go back, and since I always stashed the hot springs in a magical space by inhalation (input), I surrounded myself with an invisible prison (Invisible Jail) to bathe in.

I thought about going back.......but aside from leaving Desert Parasauro behind, it was too far away or the MP disappeared in an instant, so I opened the gate and walked through it and passed out as it was.

Still, I tried to force my way back in so I could see Mizera's face too.

'I don't want to see your husband fall down every time........ I'm fine, so don't be too hard on yourself.'

And I was so worried and angry that I was worried about the opposite, so from then on, I was draining (output) the hot spring to finish my bath.

Hmm. Hmm, then we can head out right away. Well then, let's go!

Mr. Kuduro ran in front of Desert Palasauro and the gatekeepers on the outer wall were allowed to pass through with their face passes.

We passed the gate guard on the outer wall with our face pass and entered the castle.

Once inside, we were unloaded from the cart of a desert parasauro. It seemed that a soldier was going to ride with us to the lending house in the Capital Branch to return it to us.

Farewell Desert Parasauro I will never forget my journey with you.

When I patted my face as if to say goodbye, Desert Parasauro rubbed his head in my hand repeatedly to see if it felt good.

I regret this nice, cool touch, and I look back at the desert parasauro as it looks back at me again and again until I leave.

A red carpet in a chalk palace.

Guarded soldiers stand in a line with spears up, and men in expensive clothing line up in front of them.

Through a small staircase, sitting in a luxurious chair is Mr. Koren, although I haven't yet been able to get a good look at his face.

Next to him is Kuduro-san, who is waiting for me and is looking at me with a smile, but my heart is beating fast.

That's right........Renge's sister is a queen.......

This is the first time I've ever been formally greeted in front of a great person like this, so I'm unexpectedly nervous.

''Raise your face.

Ha!

It seems that Renge does all the talking, so we just have to follow him.

I'm the master of Renge, but honestly, I don't think I'd be able to do it properly, so Kuduro-san advised me to decline the role.

Then I looked up and saw the queen and Renge's younger sister, Koren-sama for the first time in my life, but....

I was really surprised at how much they looked like each other.

Twins.........?　No. Is it a little more juvenile than lengua?

And..........

'You're a beautiful wren........'

"Phew.

Hearing my small spilled words, Shiro and Sorte gush out.

With that, Renge was looking at us resentfully.

''Thank you for your help in the matter of defeating the earth dragon, with no mission or obligation by pact.

Ha!

"We've prepared a reward for your services, which goes far beyond what the army can provide. And we've also arranged a small banquet for you. I hope you enjoy it.

Apparently they didn't hear our conversation.

I had just heard that we were sisters, but in no way did it seem so bland and cold that I didn't feel like it.

'That's it,'

This audience is now over. The minister will now leave. Your men may follow suit.

Hearing the Queen's voice, Kuduro-san gives instructions, and the higher-ups and soldiers leave the audience room, leaving us behind.

Huh?　That's it?

Quite easily, or rather, I had heard from Kuduro-san that he was quite worried about us....

Besides, why did he leave us alone?

The soldiers left the room, and Kuduro-san followed the last one, only appearing out of the door, and after a moment, he closed the door.

''.......No sign of them. You can be rude from here on out.''

''Oh I'm so tired...''

"Wrenched?

Why do you usually sit back down with your hands on the fulcrum, slack-jawed?

You're still in the presence of the queen.

You can make it easy on your husband. He won't see anyone else.

No, dude, you have a queen to look after and all that.

You're thinking about making it easier when the most important person is right in front of you... and dang!　I turned my head in that direction when I heard a loud noise.

Then there was the queen who had jumped down a small staircase and was bending over in shock in front of the stairs....

And then.

'Sis!

Dung dung dung dung!　And Queen Koren-sama runs up to her with a vulgar sound, and at the end, she literally jumps into the Wrenge.

Um..........

''Sister, sister, sister!　Are you hurt?　Are you okay?　I'm really sorry for the inconvenience!　My army has been unworthy, or rather I have been unworthy!

''Oh my god........Coren I'm tired, I don't want you to shake me.......''

'I'm sorry, sister!

The Queen is do-gee-za with a super low profile on Renge.

Is this okay.........

''.........Ha, ha, sister!　Raw sis!　Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... Ahaha, Krrryu!　Sis Smell is going crazy on the brain!

Then he immediately hugged her and pressed his face to her head, or rather to Renge's hair, smelling her so that she could hear even the sound, and then stuck out his tongue and started twitching and twitching with a face he couldn't show much.

'Coren-sama has come to respect the princess, you know.

Is that the level of this?

'Hahaha. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, so this is even better than usual. You can't possibly show your staff the way you look like this, can you?

...No, I don't think anyone can see it before a vassal, can they?

It's not just about his dignity as a king, it's about his reputation as a woman, or even as a person already, isn't it?
