Cliffs, in an inn where the royal family lives.
"That's what it is.
Takeo nods when Cliff and Neil, as well as a civilian, explain the status quo.
In front of the seat was a large map of the town.
"Dear Takeo, what do you want to do?
Alice asks.
"Lord Mayor, what about it as a way of dealing with it?
Is that what it's supposed to be?
"... Expanded interpretation of provisions.
It's supposed to be my main duty to defend this town... but then when demons head to a nearby village, I have to abandon them.
In fact, slightly, the distance between the demons and this town and the neighborhood is closer to the village, so the defense of neighboring villages under the crusade policy is interpreted in an expanded manner.
I apologize to His Royal Highness and to Lord Kitamizato and Lord Alice, but I believe that in the unlikely event that you come to this town, you have no choice but to respond.
Of course, we will deal with the backpacking from Wang Du in time.
So please stay down and ask me to be patient in the meantime.
A civilian lowers his head deeply.
"We are told to protect ourselves, so we have no problems.
Besides, we understand your position that we can't ask for it.
That's right, it won't be a situation to kill a neighboring village.
I have no objection in the manner of the Mayor.
But you want some more information.
"Um, sure.
I don't mean to disbelieve the soldiers' reports, but I don't feel they have much detail.
But there's no way they're moving anywhere near us.
Neil nods.
"Right...
Victor. "
"Yes, Lord.
"Bring Cora and Momo to scout.
Cora and the others will know more about what humans don't know.
And basically, contact is strictly forbidden.
If you find out what's going on again, Victor should come back. Cora and Momo continue surveillance on the spot.
In case of abnormality, Momo howled from around the gate.
"I'm in awe.
"Master, what will I do?
"Gina and Mia accompany us to the gate... and tie this napkin to the base of Cora and Momo's forelegs.
Lord Mayor, I will send our men for reconnaissance.
Demons with napkins will be advised not to attack.
Takeo gives Gina three large eyed napkins.
"Yes, sir.
"Okay, Lord.
Mia rides Gina's shoulder for two and nods.
"That was radicoccica, I have received a report.
I get it. I'll give you an immediate notice.
The mayor leaves with a glance at the man in the corner of the room.
"Mia and the others wait here. Listen to your balls at the window so you can hear Momo howling.
"Nha!"
My balls reply.
"Then go, Victor.
"Yes, then, gentlemen, I beg your pardon.
The Victors are leaving.
"Kew?
The cu held by Alice rings toward Takeo.
"Hmm? Ku, what's up?
Did you want to go?
"Kiku.
Khu nods.
"Um... I don't think it's funny because I'm just going to see it if I go anywhere else.
"Kyu ~?"
Ku starts sleeping round in Alice's arms like she gave up.
"Ha. So will this matter wait for information?
Takeo says to everyone.
"Hmm. What about Takeo?
You're going back to the inn?
Neil asks.
"Right... shall we clean up His Highness Cliff's errands while we wait?
"Well... Alice, I'm sorry to bother you.
Cliff bows his head toward Alice.
"Your Majesty has also told me. I don't know if I can hear it out well, but... let me do it.
Alice answers.
"Uhm.
Excuse me. Could you get me a room that I paid for?
"I'm in awe. We will make arrangements shortly.
Would you also need a neighbor's room?
"Ah."
"I'm in awe.
The clerk left and went to get a room.
"So? Brother, can I start abruptly?
Sister, what can I do to improve?
And Neil says.
"Neil, I'm fine! I know!
And a different door opens from the exit of the clerk and the first and second princes come in ahead of Rhona.
"Ah, Mr. Takeo, it's been a while.
Amy greets me.
"His Royal Highness Lynette, His Highness Amy, and His Highness Krina.
It's been a while.
"His Highness Rhona, His Highness Selina, and His Highness Ann.
It's been a while.
Takeo and Alice give their standing thanks.
"Yes, it's been a while.
Lynette returns a greeting.
Takeo looked at the look on his face and thought, "I wish I'd gotten a smile back quite naturally".
"Hmm? Something on my face, Mr. Takeo?
Lynette asks Takeo.
"Excuse me, my lord Lynette.
Takeo bows his head.
"Hmm? Mr. Takeo, linen... was there anything for your mother?
"Why don't you be rude and hit in the neck?
Takeo asks Amy.
"I won't.
Lynette says with a bitter smile.
"No, I thought the smile was more natural than when I met you in Wang Du, so I was getting nervous.
"Yeah. It's just a bitter laugh, but I'm not as nervous as Wang Du.
You don't exactly have time to be nervous... or you're constantly getting used to being nervous.
Mr. Takeo, the Crown Princess is in trouble... it was easier to wield a sword.
Lynette returns the bitter smile to Takeo.
"... is it a modus operandi?
"Yes... it's very troublesome... I don't know why Amy can be so good.
"Mother, I'm used to it.
Amy says pizza.
"Ugh... His Highness Amy is tough... Lord Kitamizato, what can I do?
Lynette leaks the truth.
"Dear Mother?... tone.
"... Mr. Takeo, is there any way to solve this?
Lynette asks in tears.
"... I'm a civilian... and you have no idea how it works around there.
"No, Takeo, there's got to be a dinner party in Wang Du, right?
The royalty and the new nobles.
Cliff says.
"... what shall we do... even if we know each other?
"Takeo, do you do something to avoid failing at a dinner party?
Neil asks.
"For example, if His Highness Neil were here in person as he is now.
Do you think I look and imitate His Highness Neil's way of eating?
"I see. You have a hand in imitating someone.
"Yeah. But I don't know if it's going to work, so I might only be able to take about soup. So do I have to have something in my room that I can eat easily?
"You're not gonna put your hands on it?
"It's better not to lay hands on it than to fail.
Besides, I asked the chef to move the lowered dish to my room, so let's eat slowly later.
"I'll do the same.
Lynette squeaks.
"Mr. Takeo is fine. But your mother can't.
Amy says.
"Why?... why are the new nobles more favoured!?
"No! Your mother will always be at those meetings from now on, so you have to remember it properly.
"Ha no..."
Lynette answers with dismay.
"Ha, well, you just have to remember without too much haste.
Neil says with a bitter smile.
"So, Alice, this is Viscount Ashton's granddaughter's dossier.
Lorna shows Alice the material.
"Same age... Clarissa Breece Ashton?
Alice shrugs as she looks at the material.
"Yeah, that's why I think it's easy to hear.
So, ask Cliff if he's willing to marry me.
"It may not go well..."
"That's it.
I don't know what the outcome will be, but I'm not willing to force this girl to marry me.
"Yeah. So Alice, can you come and listen to me at ease?
Because it doesn't matter if you don't decide.
Lorna and Selina give Alice a push.
"Okay.
That Takeo lady's coming, isn't she?
Did Alice notice a little scared? Ask Takeo for help.
"I'll go to the kitchen and then I'll head out.
Preliminary battle is for Lady Alice only. Thank you.
"Huh!? Aren't you coming!?
"I'll get you a treat and then I'll go.
Until then, why don't we just have a chat?
Takeo normally returns it.
"Okay... I'll do my best.
Alice decided to be ready.
