Chapter 99: Princess, Friend Exchange and Seigo ́s trial
I re-negotiate with the princess who has recovered from the honey juice shock. I offer her my two new honey juices. It's just a regular one and a hot one, though. She said that as long as the effects are different, they count as two different kinds. So, since I published two recipes, my reward would be doubled, but I felt bad about doubling my reward since I made it on my own. Then Princess Henri made a suggestion.
"Then, how about having us get all the necessary items for this shop as a reward?"
"Is that...is that okay?"
"Yes. If you open a store, honey juice will be available to the citizens and above all, if I hear that you are a three-star chef, I would like you to open a store as the princess of this country. It won't hurt or itch if you invest for that purpose"
Wow. She just said it. This girl.
"This is a proposal from the princess. You must accept it, right?"
This is a threat, right? If I refuse the princess's proposal, will I be beheaded or something?
"I am grateful for the offer. I have no reason to refuse"
"Then we have a deal"
And then, Princess Henri gave me a reward for the Honey Bee honey drink.
What? Isn't that too much money? No, if you think about it, it's a reward from the princess of the country. I guess it's only natural. When I was surprised at the amount, Princess Henri said something even more outrageous.
"And I'll exchange friends with you"
I was surprised by this bombshell. I knew that I could be friends with NPCs since I had exchanged with Mocchi-san, but was it okay to exchange friends with a princess?
"Is it okay to exchange friends?"
"As you know, we saw the video too"
I really can't help it.
Riko and Miki ask me about it.
"I've never heard of Nii-chan being that strong!"
"I've never seen Nii-sama that scary before..."
It's not the first time...during the first summer festival after I started living with my step sisters, they were attacked by men. At that time, I saved them and beat up the men who attacked them.
Of course, I couldn't make their heads fly off like in the game, so I had to stop at the metal target. The men were taken away by the police that Kayo had called and the incident was over.
Before this incident, my relationship with Kayo and her sisters had been strained, but it was about to improve. However, since I let the three of them go at that time, they must not have seen me fight, so this is the first time they've seen me.
"I'm sorry if I scared you...sorry"
"You don't have to apologize...you just have to explain"
"That's right! Why are you so strong, Nii-chan!?"
"You'll tell me, won't you?"
There was no way out. You can't win when it's three against one to begin with. It's no use.
"Haa. I understand"
Then, let's talk about...the story of me and the battle-mad old man...
