61-061-I want to hear a nice story

128 years in the life of the King.

＜Saint Reginald's City Platena, North Street Inn.

When we returned to the Holy King's Capital, we took our rooms at the usual inn and fell straight into bed with a flop.

''Hey guys........''

According to the record of my trip I once wrote, I returned to the Holy King's Capital on the 18th of this month, so that means I came back more than a week earlier than I should have.

Honestly, I don't think I would be this exhausted if it weren't for the last blow-by-blow (Fururu no Uta), but I'll keep quiet because I feel like Haruru will attack me if I mention that topic.

''We have some time to spare before our next trip, so for now, let's just take it easy and rest our bodies.

I agree.

As expected of Satsuki, who usually boasts of infinite physical strength, is tired from the long journey, but she jumped into bed with a whimper and rolled around.

Jupiter........seemed to have no energy left to go to bed, and was exhausted while lying on top of his backpack.

''You've been busy for a while now, haven't you? I want to relax too.''

When I say that, Elena smiles and sits down next to me.

It's just a water spirit, and although she always seemed to be in good spirits at sea, she's been taking care of our physical condition for a long time, so she must be tired indeed.

Thank you so much.

"Uh-huh, you're welcome.

Seeing Elena smiling happily, I was soothed by her smile, and at the time I was thinking of taking a nap for a while...

bang-bang

....

Hi, I'm just wondering if you'd like to go in the room with me and...

No!

Eeeeeeee?

Before I could tell her what I wanted, she denied it and I could hear the girl's upset voice from behind the door.

........Huh?　But does that sound familiar?

I mean, that's Satsuki's voice, right?　Hey, I'm opening the door!

--Well, let's summarize the situation.

1. he knows who we are in the Holy King's City.

2. he's a girl.

3. call Satsuki by her nickname.

In other words, the person behind this door is...!

No, sir.

'Why not?!' 'Why?!'

Immediately after they tsked, the door to the room was opened with a bang.

''Yes, yes, I'm interrupting you!

Saying that, the one who came in was Pete, the former Child of the Forest Dragon, who had come to be revered as a holy dragon in a strange way.

Then, the one puffing out his cheeks behind him was........

Boo!　Why did you pretend to be gone?　Pfft!

This is the princess of this country ... Princess Priscia, whom common people like us can't even speak to.

You can't blame them for trying to chase you away without questioning you, even if you were to be beheaded, but that doesn't matter to Satsuki.

"I'm tired after a long journey, you know.

'What?　I'm sorry, that wasn't very tactful...

No, no, no!　No need to apologize!

Making a country's princess bow down or something, that's a bigger deal!

As if she didn't know about such things, Satsuki asked Princess Priscia with her weakness.

'So, Priscia, what's wrong with you?　It's unusual to have a squire come to the inn on your own, if you're going to have a squire come.

Certainly, when a princess from a great country has taken the trouble to visit you, it seems to be no ordinary matter.

Could it be that something else is happening in this country, something serious...?

'What?　I just came to ask you about your trip, Satsuki.

I was just doing my job!

'Hmmm, what's the one thing you seem to be interested in, Pricia?

'Wouldn't it be interesting to have a story about Uranus, the white hero, who is actually a shadow warrior?

"The episode in which Elena took the Four Heavenly Kings by surprise and shot them down is hard to put down.

..........

Princess Pricia's eyes swim in the air.

No, they are tracking the sisters who are floating in the air.

''Um~.......who are these people?''

Huh?　Oh, it's the Snow Fairies, Haruru and Fleur. The king of the Frost Kingdom had to set up a warding to protect the island. When I took the place of the White Warrior, the magic is gone. But the two people who had been watching over the Frost Kingdom agreed to help me, so they agreed to follow me.

That's a lot of information!

It's true that Pete was right, the last half month or so has been a parade of events that have rocked the country.

In addition to the story above, there's also the Aquaria case, which can be exhausting.

I'm not going to talk about that!　Won't you tell me more about it?

◇ ◇.

'Wow, that's amazing. I could write a whole book of adventure stories just from that incident alone.

After listening to the adventure story from Satsuki's point of view, Pete let out a sigh of admiration.

Although Princess Priscia was curious about the incident with the diva Marinella and Suimei, she seemed to have a strong feeling that the Frost Kingdom's story was nothing more than a passing fiasco.

''It's true that the Frost Kingdom is a small island nation, and I thought their army was very small, but I didn't think they were using the power of the brave for such a purpose...''

It is said that the power of the brave is originally given by God to protect people and repel threats when the world is in danger.

This year is the 128th year of the Holy King's history, and it seems that the calendar began when God descended on this world and announced the birth of a brave man.

In other words, the human race has been fighting for more than 100 years to defeat the Demon King of the Land of Everlasting Darkness.

In spite of such a situation, the entire nation was using the power of the brave men for a completely different purpose, which must have caused Princess Priscia to have mixed feelings.

''After all, a way of sacrificing the brave men is.......''

'That too, but the main problem is that Satsuki was involved!　And it's a story you'll be involved in for the rest of your life!　I won't be happy if I don't say something to you!

You?

It seems that the fact that her friend Satsuki suffered damage is more important to Princess Pricia than the state.

And when Priscia princess got angry for her sake, Satsuki smiled happily and, as if she had thought of something, smacked her hand.

''Hmm... then, do you want to go say something?''

"Huh?

Then Satsuki took Princess Pricia's hand and grinned as she looked at Harle and Fleur--
