3-06: The Unreasonable Palm IV (3/4)

For the meantime, maids, fix this.

Whether the boy knew that or not, no, he definitely knew, he pointed at the long path that he casually created with his spell and just as casually told them to fix it.

What!? W-Werent the people supposed to just presume that this was the Tenkorius doing!?

The crater that he made near the entrance of the forest was one thing, but this almost covered the whole area from where they stood to the foot of the mountain.

Asking them to fix it even with magic was indeed an unprecedented tedious task.

Thats why the princess repeated his words in an attempt to softly refuse him, but

Nah, it would have been one thing if it were at some corner of the forest, but this is just too much. Theres going to be a huge commotion if its not fixed before the sun rises Anyway, Im sure you can do it. Good luck.nove(l)bi(n.)com

The boy cheered the maids on with an expressionless face.

Apparently, the damage had already surpassed the acceptable range.

Above all, they were astonished to see that theyd still underestimated the nastiness of the boys character.

They looked at the princess and the head maid as though to inquire what they would do, but they just powerlessly shook their heads.

These superiors of theirs calmly calculated that if it were them, who were the least tired, then perhaps it was possible as long as they made frantic efforts.

Start from the foot of the mountain, which is the most problematic. Ill be nice and send you there.

Wait

A mo

But before they could even agree, the boys fingers snapped, and all the maids other than the head maid were sent away via teleportation magic.

I wonder if everyone will be okay?

They seemed to have arrived safely, so Im sure theyll manage until dawn. More importantly

What is he going to make us do?

The princes and the maid habitually analyzed the destination of the teleportation before shuddering in fear as they thought of what might be asked of them.

I want to hold a memorial service for those two, but Should I bury them or cremate them?

But the boys next focus was on the young Tenkorius, who had at some point moved next to him.

It seemed he too didnt know the Tenkorius practice when it came to this matter, so he asked her to decide.

The young Tenkorius seemed to remember something.

Umm, if I recall correctly My dad told me to bury him if he died naturally, but in the unlikely case that he is killed by someone else, then We should follow the law of nature.

I figured that might be the case

Ah!

The boy did feel odd saying that when he was responsible for their sorry state, but when the princess had that pointed out to her, and she looked down to see herself, she panicked.

Though her wounds have already healed, her dress armor has been completely destroyed, while the battle clothes she wore underneath were also heavily damaged, revealing some of her skin.

Above all, her face and hair were covered in mud and blood.

Well be meeting the town mayor of Lillisto. Though not officially, the mayors have for generations been the people monitoring the tenkorius. We need to hide that you people are guilty, so we need to make sure our stories match.

Y-Yes! Stella!

I understand. But we cant go back to the lodging right now. We left together, so it would be too strange if we were the only ones who returned. Records might still be left behind even if were to return through teleportation.

As the people who wanted the truth exposed the least, nothing would be more painful than if they were to be probed somewhere painful.

They needed to avoid any actions that would make them stand out.

But of course, it was a bit late for that since theyve yet to return despite having checked-in and despite it being this late.

So, in other words?

I will have to fix your appearance here. Please endure it.

Uu.

The princess looked at the men with a tinge of embarrassment. Kite just tilted his head, but the boy shrugged his shoulders and picked up Kite then turned around and walked away.

W-What? Wa wa!?

Werent you going to give me your everything?

Hau!

Those irresponsible words pricked them in the chest.

The damage was surprisingly deep because it felt like he was calling them a liar.

Though they did consider the possibility of such deeds, for some reason, she did not think that the boy would ask for her in that sense.

Thats why she was bothered about changing in their presence, but

Lilisha-sama, hes joking.

I-I know! Anyway, hurry up and erect a barrier to conceal sight and sound already! And make me look like a proper Earthgant princess!

I understand It will take some time.

Huh?

She seemed to be refusing her order in a roundabout way, so the princess became suspicious, but in the next moment, she was enveloped in a barrier that hid her from others and obstructed the sound.
