[Two days before the reunion with Einz and Zwei]

＜Jediite Empire, parlor.

This is the Jedite Empire.

I was brought into a room that looked like a reception room, and in front of me was the figure of a young beastman.

''Um, nice to meet you........''

'Oh, yes. Nice to meet you....

They introduced themselves awkwardly to each other, but without a pause, they both fell silent.

.........Now then, what in the world is going on?

Going back a bit, as soon as Satsuki-chan brought Ainz-sama to me, she said, "Hey, hey Pricia-chan. Let's reunite Mr. Einz and Mr. Zwei," she said. I think it would be fun to have an emotional reunion, wouldn't it? My workload had increased and I was completely under fire, thanks to her light-hearted but terribly tedious proposal to me to go through the necessary procedures with all the parties involved.

However, she gave me a new mission.

She said...

There's a boy I want you to meet. Follow him.

Therefore, the place that I was brought to as if I were going for a walk in the garden was a distant foreign land where even a fast horse would take days to get to, let alone a garden.

Moreover, that place was the Jedite Empire, which is a de facto enemy of the Jedite Empire, even before diplomatic relations.

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

It seems that this girl is the one Satsuki was talking about, the one she wants us to meet, but we still haven't been told who she is in the first place.

She has cute ears that stand up on top of her head, and she's quite beautiful in appearance.......

Then, as if he couldn't bear to see us go rigid after just a word or two of conversation, Jupiter-kun poked Satsuki.

What are we going to do about it? You two are in trouble.

Hmmm........or rather, it's hard~. You know, Riraku-surikusu.

'Huh.'

I couldn't help but hump the child in front of me.

To tell the truth, this is the first time I've ever faced a young beastman's child.

This is because, as I mentioned earlier, because of the hostile relationship between my country and the Jadeite Empire, we have had very little interaction with each other, so it can't be helped.

I'm sure you're not going to be able to get away with it.

''Is it about time you told me what's going on?

I numbly asked for an explanation, and Satsuki nodded with a hmmm.

The two fairies behind her were also nodding their heads in agreement, it was a fine art.

It's a good thing that you can't get away with it.

''Heh.....

The kid in front of me widened his eyes into a full circle and let out a weird scream and screamed.

Apparently, this child hadn't been told who I was either.

''And this is the prince of the Jedite Empire (...) Raika-chan!

........yes?

The pretty woman in front of me was a man's daughter!

Oh, my God, she's so cute!

...but that's not the surprising part!

What, the prince, eh, eh?

Raika-chan, please introduce yourself.

"Yes, well, well.... "Well, my name is Raika and this is the customary thing to do in your country.

While saying that, Prince Raika bowed his head with a perturbed head while looking at Satsuki to the side.

''Ah, haha, yes. Err, I'm also Pricia and......................''

Okay, okay, handshake. By the way, I heard that this is the same meaning as bowing in Teikoku.

And shaking hands with Prince Laika as he told me~...........so that's not what I meant!

While almost being carried away by the flurry of the scene, I shook my head buzzingly to the side to regain my composure and asked Satsuki again.

''No, no, I didn't mean that!　Could you please tell me why you brought me here to meet Prince Raika?

Huh?　Priscia was upset that the bad guys from the Empire kept Einz-san locked up for so long, right? So I thought I'd feel better if I came here and told her properly, like I did the last time I told Lurmif Auntie of the Frost Kingdom.

No, no, no, no, no, no.　What are you looking at me for, Satsuki?

'But considering Pricia's rampant behavior, it's not surprising that she's looked at me like that--no, no, it's nothing.

While glaring at the miscreant (Pete) who called me a rampaging horse and shutting him up, I once again turn my attention to the beautiful woman in front of me....or rather, to Prince Laika.

But for some reason, it trembles at the same time, and the ears that should have been standing in a pivot just a moment ago droop sullenly.

That, it's kind of very hurtful........

''To silence a dragon, even though it's so young, with a single word....... Moreover, yelling at the princess of the Frost Kingdom.... My country for having angered such a horrible person....................''

Oh, and her crying face is so cute, it's kind of tantalizing to watch her... and I don't mean that!

No, no!　I'm just an old friend of his, you know!

"You know, I think it's a good idea to threaten your friend to keep him/her quiet.

'Pete oooh!

"Wow!　I'm sorry!　Help me, Jupiter!

"What the hell have you gotten me into?

And when I had caught the rude man (Pete) and locked him up.....

"...hahaha.

I got laughed at by Prince Laika, who was supposed to have been frightened earlier.

I mean, this kid is so cute every single time he smiles too!

'Ughhhh. Pete's made you laugh at your slovenly appearance....

"What, is it my fault?

As I gulped and slumped my shoulders, Prince Laika saw it and shook his head more violently than I did earlier, buzzing his head to the side in a panic.

''Wow, wow. The reason I laughed is not because I felt ashamed or anything like that!

So what is it, then?

While I puffed out my cheeks, Prince Laika turned to all of us and smiled happily.

'The people of Platena are so exclusive that they will mercilessly leave anyone of a different race to die, even those who have fallen down in the middle of their journey and are seeking help... I have been taught this since I was a child.

Although it's an undeniable fact that there are people with those values.

Prince Laika chuckles a bit troubledly when I show him a slightly exasperated look as I remember the faces of the stubborn old men in the Central Church.

''But you think it's not a good idea, don't you?''

'Yes. I met Pete at an early age and learned from my own experience that differences in race are trivial matters. I will not tolerate such insolent people who are driven by their own prejudices and do not tolerate each other's values. I want to correct such old and silly values and make the world a place where everyone can live in harmony with each other.

When I replied, Prince Laika's eyes widened in surprise and his ears popped up in surprise... and he suddenly jumped at me!

'Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!　Kanata-sensei is wonderful, but Pricia-sama is also wonderful!

Wow, uh, thank you, sir?

'It's a wonderful world where we can all get along!　I'd like to help you, even if it's only to a small extent.

Ha, ha...

Prince Laika is holding my hands and buzzing up and down, shaking his tail like a pet dog that he has missed.

Wow, he's so fluffy.....

So, are you feeling better, Satsuki?

'Yeah, yeah, that's a safe future for Pratena and Jadeite!

"What? Is that what this is about?

While Pete and the others were talking about such trivial matters, I was simply petting the rather cute doggy in front of me....
