Let’s go pick him up!

“I think His Majesty might be reaching his limit soon, so we should return, too.”

Curtis nodded to Alphage-sama’s words.

“Alphage usually works a lot. His Majesty the King might be in tears by now. I bet he gave his agreement without knowing how much workload Alphage has.”

“Well, it gets troublesome when too much work accumulates. Miss Rosarin, it was quite a fun experience. It was a very worthwhile holiday. I will be returning, but what about you, Aldin? You can play some more if you want.”

“I want to help you, Elder brother. I cannot play around while you are working so hard.”

How dazzling. Alphage-sama probably felt the same. He averted his gaze.

“... Alright. I will work you hard without holding back then.”

“Yes! Thank you so much! I will do my best!”

“......... Yeah.”

Saying mean things doesn’t seem to work on Aldin-sama. Well, it just ended with Alphage-sama getting bashful.

“What are you going to do, Miss Rosarin?”

“I plan on seeing Kanata-san… a Beneficiary.”

“I see. Let me know if something happens. I will assist you.”

“I will help you out, too!”

“Thank you very much.”

After sending the kind princes back to the castle, we had a big strategy meeting with Shushu-san to welcome Kanata-san.

“It would be troublesome if we pass by each other.”

“I’m certain this is the route he will take, there are multiple routes to take…”

Shushu-san and I unfolded the map and formulated a strategy while predicting the route Kanata-san would take.

“Why is it Dirk-sama? Why does it feel like the ladies were planning a hunt?”

“... Yeah. Rosarin, you cannot hurt Kanata-san.”

“I won’t make a blunder like that.”

I laughed.

“I got it! Let’s make it a very cheesy welcome!”

“”Why don’t you make it normal!?””

I pretended not to have heard the cries of the two sensible people.
