I told Rainrich, Leet-san, the Master of the Adventurer's Guild, and others that I was going to the Empire temporarily, and I left the house of Meira, my business partner, and finally came to Yashis.
''Well, that means I'm going to be in the Empire with Sicilia-sama for a while. It looks like Iris is going to come up with a countermeasure.......
Hmmm....I see....
Yashis shuts down as if thinking about something with a serious look in his eyes.
However, he immediately turns to me with a huff of a smile.
''........As expected of you, you are the pride of Ains Hale's troublemaker.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself thinking it's someone else's problem.... It's not like we want to get into trouble either, you know? I'm not trying to make up trouble at all, you know?
If I can, I want to live a life without stimulation, far from these kinds of conflicts.
It's just that there are unavoidable circumstances like this time and the time of the earth dragon.
It's impossible for me to achieve happiness if I don't live with Wendy and everyone else, so that's what I have to do.
That? Is it that much of a sin to wish to live without working?
Will the heavens put me to the test, and if I don't get over it, will I ever reach my ideal slow life?
''Hahaha. But, well........it will be okay.
'You're too optimistic, no matter how much it's someone else's problem........ What evidence do you have for that?
Yeah, that's it.
Oh. Oh, man. Tell me something.
If Yashis is nodding confidently, could it be that he knows about the duke family's fatal weaknesses and strategies?
If I could get that out of you, it would give me a lot of peace of mind.
It's a secret. But..........yes.
Hey, man. Why do you make it sound like you're done with me? You're not going to say that's the reason for this, are you? Isn't it actually you who made me into a self-serving, proud troublemaker?
No. No, no.
Don't expect me to be fooled by such a deliberately surprised face.
It's not that we've known each other for that long, but I've gradually come to understand... well, I don't really know yet, but I can at least tell that it's an act.
It's just that... our guests are born on such a planet...
What does that mean...
'Hmm. It's nothing. Now, it's not safe to stay too long, is it? I'll hold off on the vibrator, so I'm sure it's safe over there, so take your time and enjoy the empire.
Oh, well...
He's still a hard man to read........
As you wish................................
The only thing I can think of is to make sure Wendy is safe........
Hmmm. Even so, I didn't know that even the 'Two Things from Heaven (Burst Gift)' would be on your side.......
...Two things from heaven?
'Yes. You don't know? Lady Sicily--

The box carriage that was turning its wheels rumbling up and down a little while ago, is now at a standstill.
I wondered if this is the same in the Empire........but is it because Sicilian-sama is riding in a carriage that has relatively little impact?
It's not hard rubber, but rather a film of slime that absorbs the impact, and the wooden wheels are shaped just like the tires of the original world.
There is even a suspension system built in to absorb the impact, which makes the journey more comfortable for now.
As I was turning my attention to the tires, I noticed Sicilian-sama smiling at me.
''Hmph. I thought you'd be surprised first by the carriage, but you're not too surprised.''
''Uh ... well, I had come up with the idea myself, so ...''
The slime coating would replace the rubber.
In other words, the idea came to me naturally when I thought of the rubber products that were used in the original world.
But I didn't make it because I didn't have a carriage and I wouldn't be likely to use it myself.
I'm sure there was a demand for them, but the main reason I didn't make them was a simple one. It's more work.
'Ho ho ho, quicksilver. Our nation's alchemists have been struggling to get their heads around making it happen...'
'I just know the finished product. ...But I wasn't surprised by that one, but I'm constantly amazed by the scene in front of me.
Yes. I couldn't help but look at the tire at the devastation in front of me, and I couldn't hide my surprise to the point where I couldn't turn my head.
And the one who did it was unexpectedly Sicilian-sama....
"I'll feel safer from now on if I show you my strength first. Hmmm, but it's still good to hunt. I like the fact that I can hunt as I please when I come to the kingdom. In the imperial capital, my brother is so annoying...
Saying that, he tucked the one-handed fine sword in his hand into the scabbard at his waist with a ding, and wiped a drop of black blood on his cheek with his handkerchief, and it was strange because he looked just like the usual elegant and noble Sicilian-sama.
........I heard that your brother, or in other words, the emperor, is fussy, but since you are the emperor's sister, it's only natural.
''I didn't expect that Sicilia-sama would do battle...''
Hm. Lord. I told you earlier. I said it clearly before, that we have a strong man.
No, isn't that what Seren...?
That's it? You're talking about the time you complimented Wendy and everyone else on their maid outfits before you walked into the room.
Of course I remember. The maid's outfit was amazing and I remember the shock of seeing Lady Sicilian's tits for the first time.
"Seren-dono is not a bad muscle, but I think he's just growing.
''Yes........I'm still in training....... I'm not even close to the level of Sicilia-sama........
I mean, didn't you notice, Lord?
I don't know, how can you even notice?
How can you feel strong when you're the owner of such big, big tits and you've never seen them fighting, nor do you usually wear armor?
I'm sure you'll say something about it! That's why! That's why we have to have combat.
'No but........a large demon with a fine sword and a horn cut in half.......isn't there a lot of things wrong with that?
It was a thin sword that looked like a rapier, but I don't know why it was sharp and why it didn't break.
I thought it was for stabbing, but a huge deer as big as an elephant, a huge deer as big as an elephant, stood with its sword delivered against Infernodia's rush and cut it down in one swipe as they passed each other.
I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.
In the thickest part of the body, a huge, hard horn that could have been as big as my torso was cut off with a single sword.
Me and Miserable were the only ones surprised, while Shiro, Aina and the others were just amazed.
I had no idea what was going on, so I asked for an explanation!
A sword. Perhaps the secret is the weapon. A special weapon.
That's right. It's quite a sharp one.
'Also, it's a mystery how the blade looked shaky and how it didn't match the size of the demon...'
Hmm. You're looking good. You are correct. I can't give you any details, but my weapon doesn't become effective until after I draw it.
''I see.......it's a special weapon made in the dungeon. However, from the fact that it was an excellent body technique, it must be quite strong without it.
'Do I look like that? This is still the highest rank in the Empire's adventurer's guild. Well, since there's a gap in the delivery of the sword, it's not enough to say that I can beat White and the three of you.
And all the fighting girls were discussing combat.
The sword looked like it was wavering, or what? What is it.........
Because my tits weren't shaking.
But I see.
I was convinced of the 'two things from heaven' that Yashis was talking about.
I had clearly thought that the left and right boobs were two things, but the sense of battle and the boobs were two things.
That's why, despite her position as the sister of the emperor of the empire, Seren-san was the only bodyguard.
Since she's so strong and also wants to fight, she probably didn't want to have an extra guard.
I think he made her his bodyguard because he liked her personal care and probably Seren-san herself.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep up with it, but my eyes are swimming and I'm starting to get depressed about not being able to mix in with the combat talk.
So, I beckoned them over to me and asked them to join me in collecting medicinal herbs and being my bodyguard.
Of course I can't mix in there either, and there's also Mizella over here who is good friends with Seren-san.
''Master! I've never seen a native medicinal plant before! It's rare to find an igdrasil system, right? I wonder if I can see ... I want to see it.
'Is it native to Yggdrasil? I'm sure you'll only see it once in a while, but it's still a long way down the road, so maybe it's possible!
Seren speaks with Mizella and regains her energy.
The two of them are collecting herbs as they continue to talk, so I move away from them for a bit to collect them.
'Master. There's something over here too.''
Oh, let's see. Oh, menthol. This one's good for you. Let's take it.
Of course it can be used in medicine as well, but I use it not as medicine but as a tea.
It's refreshing, and when I breathe in through my nose it's refreshing and wakes me up, and it comes in handy when I'm sleepy but have to work.
'Sir! Blue Herb! There's blue herbs all over here!
Hearing Misela's voice as she fusses over a single herb, Wendy and I move over there.
Yup. I'd rather be here than talking about battle.
Hmm? Oh. Lucky. Found a four-leaf clover.
That doesn't sound like a bad place to start. Maybe.
