139 130 · Cute stuffed animals

Was that about two weeks ago?

"What, what, what is this!?"

──I looked at the stuffed animal on the table and said it louder.

If it's just a stuffed animal, this is how I don't scream.

──What a mimicry of me!

"Nh, I think it's quite well done... don't you think Eliane would think so?"

Nigel suddenly asks me that.

"That's not the problem!" Why is there such a thing!? "

The plush toy is big enough to hold both hands well.

The shape of the face is also deformed, and it is cute.

I'm sure you're doing well, but... it's kind of embarrassing to be my stuffed animal.

"No, Elaine-sama is very popular among the citizens." As a merchant, you can't miss this opportunity. ”

Instead of Nigel, the merchant man who brought this answered in a faint tone.

He was wearing an odd outfit that he had not seen much. I think it's a little bit of a trend in the city, but I think it's probably what this person likes.

Age is as old as me and Nigel. The hairstyle is also colorful, and there are many strange people, but the── facial appearance itself is in order.

Whether she was wearing makeup or not, her skin was beautiful and white and radiant.

"Am I... popular among citizens?"

"──Yes! Speaking of which, Master Eliane still needed to introduce himself. My name is Franz Ulmamoz. For the time being, I am an executive of the Ulmamoz Chamber of Commerce. Let's get along ~

The merchant and Mr.── Franz make a wink.

The Ulmamoz Chamber of Commerce... I've only heard of its name.

It must have been the most powerful Chamber of Commerce in Lynchghi Ham.

Now there are signs for the Ulmamoz Chamber of Commerce all over the city. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce itself is developing new products and selling them to everyone.

"I mean... have you met Nigel?"

"Yeah. Rather, Franz and I were college classmates. I've been getting along with you for a long time."

Pounding.

I felt Franz react to Nigel's words.

But only for a moment.

"That's right, Nigel and I were friends." This time, instead── of that connection, I came to sell stuffed animals on the fringes! "

and immediately looked at me with a familiar smile.

“Franz is amazing. I've been an executive at the Chamber of Commerce since I was a student."

You're a student, but you were entrusted with an executive? That's amazing.

“Yeah, Franz is good.”

Nigel nodded as he snickered.

"Once again, even if you praise me, nothing will come out of it." Besides, it's just the light of my parents. Compared to Nigel, I'm not a big deal. "

"Franz is the eldest son of the Ulmamoz family." But── there's meritocracy there. Just because you're the eldest son doesn't automatically make you an executive of the Chamber of Commerce. "

"What are you talking about?" You were better in college. [M] No matter what you do, your grades are the best! Every time, Vincent and I were second. I'm sorry to hear that you praised me ~ "

and Franz spun their arms around Nigel's shoulder.

Depending on how you look at it, it's rude to imitate the── first prince of a country, but it doesn't make Nigel uncomfortable at all.

It seemed true that he was friendly.

"Ah, um... so, Franz. Earlier, I said that it was popular among citizens... is that true?"

"Oh, that's right." Let's go back── to the story. Eliane is the princess of the prince and the saint of this country! No one knows you now. "

"Well, I'm aware that I'm a celebrity..."

──I had originally concealed that I was a saintly woman.

The reason is that I was the true Saintess of Berkaim. Because I thought that if such a person came to Lynchgiham, there might be a conflict between countries.

And the other thing is, when I was── originally in Berkhaim, I was called a tax waste, and I was unpopular among the people.

I heard later that it was popular in some places... but I still didn't have the courage to call myself a saint even though it wasn't very popular.

But if you're going to officially marry Nigel, it's not the same story.

Hiding your identity was dishonest to the people.

Then I took the courage to announce that I was a saintly woman, but I was relieved that there was no── particular rebellion.

That said, I didn't even know it was popular...

"Eliane-sama is so humble ~." Besides, you're quite a beauty! And it has a reputation for being kind to everyone! It's inevitable that it will become── popular in the alley, even if it's a little natural and cute! ”

"W-What a beauty!" Being kind to it doesn't mean that I'm just saying that... or that it's natural!? "

I have a flap.

──Are you going to praise me and kill me!?

My face would have turned crimson after receiving a furious praise rush.

"In other words... if I sell you as a plush toy, which is very popular with the people, I'm sure you'll make a lot of money!" I was able to hire a good puppeteer, and I wanted to use this as an opportunity to get permission from Lord Eliane and His Highness Nigel! "

"Are you good at it...? Does that mean that the person who made this stuffed animal is different?"

"Of course. I can't imitate this kind of dexterity!"

"You didn't come here, did you?" You've made such a wonderful stuffed animal. I'd like to thank you if I could... "

And when Nigel asks, Franz shakes his head to the side and says:

"I'm sorry. I told you to follow me." But... when I heard about Lord Elliane, I hated it for some reason. "

I-Is that me?

"I've never seen you before, but── maybe you hate me..."

But did Mr. Franz anticipate my concerns?

"No, no, no! I can't believe you hate Lord Elliot!" It's just that he's a little shy... and if you're going to tell someone about it, it's really dark! "

Hahaha, compared to you, anyone's roots will be darkened

"Nigel, this is tough!"

Franz slaps his own forehead.

"By the way, what's his name?"

“My name is Yol. This time, I'm forcing you to pull it!"

Is ──it Joel?

I don't know if I'll see you in the future, but let's keep that in mind.

"──So it's finally the subject of the story. What do you say? Can you give me permission to sell this stuffed animal?"

Franz lowered his stance and looked at me like he was looking down.

"Well, even though you've made it well, it's bad that you won't allow it because of me." If Nigel is good, I'm good. ”

"I'm good, too." I want everyone to know how cute Eliane is! ”

Nigel spoke up in a good mood.

"I want you to stop saying 'cute' like this...!"

No matter how much you marry, you won't get used to this kind of surprise.

Thank you very much!

When she heard that, Ms. Franz snorted her fingers.

"Oh, yes. I will give you the stuffed animal as a sign of your proximity." Please decorate your room. ”

"Thank you. See you.──"

Oh, I won't let that happen!

I hurriedly stopped Nigel trying to reach for the stuffed animal.

Why?

"Let's say that you can give away a hundred steps to sell!" But... it's embarrassing that there is such a thing in the royal castle, and I can't stand it! "

"Um, but..."

Nigel looks remorseless.

Meanwhile, Franz moves his mouth as he clenches his hand.

"Well, that's okay, isn't it?" Besides, that's not the only stuffed animal, right? See? "

So, take out what Franz has out of nowhere.

Seeing that, I unexpectedly raised my voice.

Cecilie-chan!?
