888 700. Special stories and couriers gave away.

"This will be our next delivery. We'll have another new delivery in a week, so it'll be helpful if you finish this one as soon as possible."

Return only the raw reply and, as usual, receive from the Lord the price for this delivery and a new letter.

It's been a while since I started being a delivery guy, but I haven't had much time lately. If you ask me a week later, I think they called me again on a very close day. Besides, I got sick of checking the destination of the letter I received and breathed first.

"Is this country again...... If you really want a response, why don't we sneak into the country?

"Fine. I know how you feel, but that country is one where your mother has always wanted to interact. I know it's a hassle, but please. Because this is the only way."

Keh, and he throws up in the Lord's reply, showing only the destination and nostalgic with the kids trying to peek into the destination of the letter.

I don't care about other countries, but the two of them, the "Kingdom of Sursis" and "Kingdom of China", are only the most cumbersome and wasteful. If I only received the letter unilaterally, I would not even enter the country and pay in advance. I think it's suspicious that the writ the gatekeeper received has reached the royal family.

"Speaking of which, the Lord's birthday is almost here, isn't it?! Congratulations!

"Chemetho! That's what you say the next time you see him!... so, but! Congratulations!

"Thank you Kemeto, Sefek. I'm glad you told me so many times."

Because I was listening to the conversation between me and the Lord, or "Delivery in a week", Chemetho would do extra things as soon as they were considered. Uh-huh.

The Lord returned his words with the same grin to Sefek, who bowed his head so that he too would continue, correcting Chemeth's words.

It's a celebratory word, though that's what I'd be so tired of hearing every year. Until just now, the prince lining up beside the Lord was also a grumpy twat, but he pulled out his shoulder strength while suppressing the black edge of his glasses in the words of celebration between the kids. The princess who refrains from next door opposite makes her voice jump, "I'm looking forward to it".

"It's another festival under the castle! Please make sure Chemetho and Sefek are with Val!

It's easy to say that there's a lot of deliveries before that.

At any rate, the request in a week's time would also be around collecting replies to the Lord's invitation to the Birthday, previously delivered. It will be troublesome from now on that something will be carried again with the royals who sometimes squeeze big offerings in vain.

There are many countries in the Allies and the Peaceful Powers that are inferior to Freesia because the Kingdom of Freesia is feared to be a Bakemon. I learned that even the same royalty has "up and down" again depending on the country, since I became a deliveryman.

It was troublesome to carry extra luxury goods that were big for nothing because they were also forbidden to scratch. I can take the letter and go straight to the next country, but when I do, I have to go back to Freesia once. Besides, if you rest outside the country, the backpackers will spring up on the palpable gold objects. After knowing that there was no limit to the weight of the items to be carried with special abilities, I was left to the extra large baggage.

Just think about it. It's all bothered me and I turn my shoulder-to-shoulder arms. Until four days later, I couldn't help but just Hanazoo. From now on, if we turn to the fastest...... and I just thought, Sefek and Chemetho, both of us zeroing the stretch, flickered into view. Speaking of which, I recall that I haven't even taken an inn since I got back to Freesia.

…… Princess, do you want to play with the kids?

"! Yes! Oh, my God."

The princess's room is just right for keeping the kids rolling.

The princess, shining her eyes at the invitation to throw a knife and holding her hands together, rushed straight to Cefek and Chemetho. Let's go, and if you take Sefek's hand, Chemetho will follow suit. The prince, glaring next to the Lord, skipped his glasses as he suppressed the black edge of his glasses so that he was also complaining to me. Every time the princess invites us into her room, this is it. Not only the Lord, but the princess over here is a jerk.

"Am I interrupting? Prince Sama."

If you dare laugh at him like he's a fool waving, he's been visibly zero black hegemony.

Still, the princess was able to persuade us, there was no order to hold us back, just to skip the hegemony. The Lord still looks back at all this time with a dumb face.

When you go to the princess's room, if you look back gently, the Lord with just the right eyes will call you "Val" over here.

"Are you going to take your time now and be okay? Hanazoo can take ten days in a royal carriage, and if it seems difficult to turn around this time, those two countries will be there for the next delivery..."

"If you can't afford it, it's a kid's room. Will you come up? Whatever. You sleep with me this evening, I'll give you a spin at your leisure, okay?

Heh, he laughs with his nose at the Lord, wasting his attention, looking back at each body.

Even the kid seems to understand the meaning of those words, and he rounded his eyes with his lips tied.

He also stops his foot trying to climb the stairs from me, and walks about three main steps as he turns around. As soon as that happened, he threatened not only the prince, but even the Kingsguard who would refrain behind his back. Take a light glance and then look again at the Lord.

"What do you say, Lord? Whatever you want, before I turn sixteen, I can make you a woman.

"Fu, zah, kah, ru, don't!!

A prince roughs up his voice instead of the Lord.

He eats up his critical teeth and turns from black hegemony to killing. I couldn't get a shot in this time because the distance is open, but when I see my fist-shaking hand shaking, he's going to enjoy it.

I dare you to laugh at Niyaniya to make her realize that you are aware of me, but I slowly return my heels without taking another step. Lately, it has become easier to stir up, especially when it comes to the Lord because of the tingling.

Then I'll disturb you, and now it's time to hang your feet on the stairs and follow the princess. To Chemetho, who was climbing earlier, he said, "Let's go!," he pulled his arm, and Sefek said, "It's too late!!," he yells in a high voice.

In the voice of the Lord from his back: "Please don't push me!!," he waved back gently without looking back.

"I'll get my tea ready first. Hey. Thank you again after that!

After entering the princess's room and finishing her tummy, she hurriedly throws a knife because it is a confectionery tea at first.

At the time, the princess, who said it was her first time, was strangely skilled. I thought it was only when I first started teaching that I would end up with a degree of protection, but the princess herself's hope was, "Please until I can be sure I can defeat my enemies! was."

When I was asked, I suspected that I was actually planning an assassination of the Lord because of the sloppiness, but Ning Ro was the opposite.

He wants to protect the Lord, he doesn't want to pull his leg. Whatever you think, it wasn't the thought of a princess in a position to be protected by a knight. I thought that if my sister was my sister, my sister would be my sister.

Same goes for the Lord, but I'd also like to take a look at Tsura when the man who was made to marry this princess finds out that his daughter-in-law can't throw a knife. I would point my finger at it and do the silly side of it to a funny degree.

While I was teaching the princess to throw a knife, Cefek and Chemetho rolled to the floor, not even up on the couch like they died after crashing the boat with their heads several times, as I thought. When I'm awake, I'm watching the princess practice and being generous on my own, but lately I'm used to the princess. I'm still sleeping fine here.

As long as you can sleep on the lower layer of mud, you're not used to people being sensitive to people's signs. Unless you're the other person. It's common for kids who continue to be stoned at lower levels.

Then for a while I taught the princess a few knife throws and zeroed the stretch a few degrees. Originally a princess with good muscles has no trouble teaching either.... if we get out of here where we are weak and not physically fit.

By the time Sefek woke up to the sound of the knife, his breath was up for the most part.

A samurai wipes her sweaty princess's forehead and goes in between, "Just fine, so let's take a break". If you're going to worry first, I think you should stop the knife throwing itself, but I don't think the princess will give in there herself. I got into a lot of trouble from me, and I said, "That's it for today," and I nodded heavily with my disturbed breath.

Sefek awake and Chemetho also rubs his eyes and wakes up his body so that his voice can catch him. Even in the morning, the "good morning" and "good morning" kids began to reach out again to the sweets at the table that remained intact.

When the sweat-wiped princess returns it too, she can breathe a sigh of mouth in the re-brewed cup. Chemetho then moved his mouth toward the princess as he thought with his sleeping head tilted.

"... does Tiara know that the Lord is happy with something or something?

"? Something your sister would love, is it??

The princess rounds her eyes properly to Chemetho's words. What do you say as soon as you wake up?

Did the princess think so too, or just don't think of it, looking back at Chemetho with a big, repeated blink, now Cefek says, "Ah!" He raised his voice.

"Could it be the Lord's birthday present?! Chemetho, are you thinking something??

"! That's why it's so awesome!? If that's the case, I'll get in touch with you too...!!

Chemetho grinned and scratched his head as illuminated by Sefek's screams and the bouncing grin of the princess. I drop my gaze once, then open my mouth again.

"I want to celebrate, mainly because I take care of Val and Sefek. I want to give it to the Lord, just like I gave it to Tiara."

"Me too! I want to give it too!! Besides, Lord, he said he'd celebrate our birthday!

Raise your hand so that Cefek is caught too, to Chemetho, who says with a smile on his face.

Even on the Princess's birthday four months ago, the kids had pulled a thousand cuts of flowers on their way to deliver and gave them away. If I recall a princess who was overjoyed even though she was so fed up with the flower castle, I would also wonder if this guy would go with the same hands again. Even while leaning against the wall and poking his cheekstick, the screaming noises of the kids echo in his ears.

"I was so happy with the flowers, too, so my sister loves the flowers, and I'm sure you'll be happy with them. If something else is okay with you, you two often go out of the country, and how about something you only see there? I'm sure you'll be pleased."

"What kind of bug is the only thing you see there?

"Ah, there was a very big muckade along the border before..."

"Hey, no! Other than creatures, I think."

At the very least with a butterfly…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

I don't know the Lord, but Princess Sama doesn't seem to like bugs. It's a royal weakness that was raised so muddy in a tidy building.

Because Cefek, who was in the lower echelons, is also used to bugs, or Chemetho doesn't have the very idea that women don't like bugs either. I need to talk to you today. Ah. I feel spared if I think I could see the funny face of the Lord who took it with the kids who packed bugs in cloth bags.

Sefek and Chemetho, leaning their necks left and right over and over to the desperate halt of the princess, now threw their gaze at me. What do I know about gifts for kids and women?

If I glanced back at him with my eyes before he asked, he moved his mouth "Val is" after Chemetho repeatedly blinked.

"What does Val give to the Lord?

"Ah?... I'll give it to you. I have everything. I'll do it to Royal Sama."

Fucking kid. Don't be ridiculous.

Why would I have to spend money on a kid who lives far better than us? Besides, all our money comes from the Lord. I think from the bottom of my stomach that I am completely dumb enough to return it to the Lord with the money I have received from him.

Sefek said, "That's why you're listening to the Lord's joy from Tiara!" He returns it in a tall voice, but pretends not to hear it. I don't care what the kid gives you on his own. After all, the price I'm getting from the Lord is for three. You can't even get your hands on the kid's money on a contract. For me, I don't care what the two of you buy with that money.

While the princess and the three of us are starting to talk about what to give away to the Lord, now I decide to sleep better. If you are satisfied with the proper conversation, you should just head to the delivery.

It's what I give away, it bothers my head whether I'm happy or surprised at what it is. Something is too draggy for me to throw up. Besides, they're royalty who get whatever they want.

"I don't give a shit..."

Don't shake the story anymore. Bring it to the wall to show your intentions and sit down, arm in arms and close your eyes so the kids can tell.

After scratching her back neck, exhaling from her belly, and striking her tongue twice, the princess said, "Which country are you going to next, so it's awesome?" "! There..." Thoughts melted into the sleeper at all costs in the voice that made them bounce.

……

"Damn...... there's a fucking kid. You're wasting my time."

Kingdom of Scion.

It was after the delivery to the United Kingdom of Hanazoo was completed, where it was also delivered to the next royalty, an ally of Freesia.

After this, I thought I'd eat and look for you at the inn, on the arrow tip.

, became the wings that accompanied both the kids. If this were to happen, I would curse the sweetness of Temehe's claws that he shouldn't have shown the next delivery destination with the kids.

As soon as I finished the delivery and left the castle, I was drawn that there was a place in Chemetho and Sefek where I wanted to go before the market. Besides, I don't know if it's the way to go, but it just pulls. In the end, I was supposed to pull into a place where I could yell at both the fucking kids to go.

The kids both say "Lord's Birthday Celebration". I mean, I think it's that princess's money, and I'm willing to kill her. Besides, I thought it would be over as soon as I arrived, and the kids were supposed to wait together without even drinking for about an hour as it was.

I regretted that if I were to eat so much time, I should have come from the beginning after I even bought alcohol at the market. Besides, I ended up eating a roll. Double the usual. Both the dangerous kids ended up blind to the end.

"Sorry Val...... But I found so many!

"Yes! It's not good because I could have prepared my birthday celebration to the Lord properly and safely!

I just glance at the contents of the bag that says so and shows it off and punch it back in the tongue.

I don't know if it's different from trash, but I'll give up using it as a word. Even if it's less than garbage for me, I know the Lord won't be happy with the kid for this. Anyway, if you're happy with anything, even the grass around there. I pulled it out and gave it to you, and I didn't have this kind of trouble.

Bechabe and I have heavy legs, sweat and heavy whole body. Both Sefek and Chemeth walked dripping with pictures, heavily walking with gifts for the Lord in their arms. It's just that even I don't have more stride than I do, so it gets extra slow. I had no choice but to reach out and receive the cloth bag.

"Thanks!!

"Take care of yourself! Because it's a gift to the Lord!

"Know what? Clothes before that. I'll buy it on the market properly."

Then it's rice, and I pull Chemetho with my opposite hand while holding a bag of cloth with my arm.

I have to round my back to a tall Chemetho over more luggage. It makes it extra difficult to walk because of the act. I want the rice and the inn, but I can't stop doing something about this snagging clothes. The hood I was wearing also became annoying now, and I lifted it up and kept staring back at the gaze from around me and proceeded.

I want to travel with special abilities, but too many people's eyes. Just change your clothes and make it dinner. I'm going to bed today. Twice as tired as Hanazoo.

"Ah, Val!! There! It's not good there."

Shortly after entering the market, the clothes store was found.

I thought there was only a weird traditional garment for an impression like a souvenir shop, rather than for ordinary people, but I also kept regular garments apart from for spectacles.

If you try to get in the back of a building shop like a digging shed, you can stop it once. The wet cloth bag didn't look particularly good.

I had no choice but to verbally order the same clothes I'm wearing right now, from top to bottom, and then wait for them to be brought to me in front of the store. Because the store just across the street was a fruit shop, the hungry kids move to you.... I don't like it.

"Cefek, Chemetho. Buy it there first."

I give only a few pieces of gold from my nostalgia and point to the store across the street with my jaw.

In the meantime, the kids, who sparkled their eyes, forgot about their clothes and jumped straight into the store in front of them. The kid seems to be more important in his belly than his creepy clothes.

I just hit my tongue over and over with the kids lining up in line with the store across the street in my sight. Even when the shopkeeper held his clothes, he was irritated and stared at them, and his shoulders went up and down plainly.

Shit hits me in the stomach with the clothes I've been given. I didn't dare to just take off my jacket first, and if I wove new feathers, I'd finally be a little clearer. I took out the cloth bag I put back in my nostalgia to the shopkeeper asking for the price again and tried to pay for it, time.

…………

Secondly, I have eyes on the display shelves that I didn't care about earlier.

It's arranged on a shelf, and I think I've seen it several times before every time I go around the country.

Nothing unusual, and I'm not interested. There is always something similar if you go to the King's Capital in every country. But I've never thought about buying one. Me, and Cefek and Chemetho, are things I never thought I'd need in my life.

I think he's an idiot to bother giving money for something like this. It's just a waste of money to give a decent amount of trouble in the way. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about throwing it away. But......

……………… … the store owner. And so did Co (...) (...) (...) "

"" Lord! Happy Birthday!!

Four days before I celebrate my birthday.

The meeting with Chancellor Gilbert was a little prolonged, and Sefek and Chemetho celebrated aloud the most as they headed to Val and the others waiting in the guest room.

I forget to breathe for a moment and open my eyes to the bouncing voice and dazzling smile as soon as I open the door. If I had a "thank you" voice after a beat late, Tiara and I were waiting in the guest room first and the style that was holding me back laughed happily "Good for you". Val is the only one who looks troublesome at the wall of the room and stares at me.

I'm really glad we both celebrated this way again, even though we both celebrated before we went to deliver last time. Besides, as soon as I opened the door, I felt twice as happy about the surprise.

"Lord, this is a celebration from us!

"We collected it! I also talked to Tiara and decided!

What, to me?! And my voice goes up unexpectedly.

This time it came with a gift. I didn't expect you to celebrate until me as well as my good friend Tiara.

What they gave me was a cloth bag with a tied mouth. It swelled greatly, the string at the mouth is cutely tied with a ribbon. If you think it's a ribbon I've seen somewhere, it's the one Tiara wore today.

Could it be that Tiara, without the ribbon she should have had this morning, looked at me embarrassed and laughed. Apparently, he even helped me decorate one foot ahead.

When I received it carefully with both hands, it was sloppier and heavier than I thought. A little unexpectedly fluttered, but the style supports me right from the side.

He put his hand on it when he held it tight and could use one hand, but the style helped him quickly. It's okay, and I'll put it on the guest table to quickly check the contents.

As soon as I put it on the table, I heard a number of jarrilyn stiff sounds overlapping. I shivered to my spine that I might have broken it for a moment, but when I saw how Cefek and Chemetho were making my eyes shine, apparently they were fine.

I let go of my fearful hand and peered into the mouth of the cloth bag as if it would open even in a surprise box after carefully removing the ribbon

I inadvertently open my mouth and take a breath at the objects in my eyes. It was tightly in the cloth bag.

"Seashell...?

It was a glittering, adorable pile of seashells.

I can't believe I'm so... I also knew exactly why it was so heavy. Naturally it would be heavy if this many were in it. It packs everything from rolled shellfish to cute pink shellfish to something as big as baby's claws to as big as holla shellfish.

Plus it contained beautiful horned sea glasses and was already a pile of literal treasure. I'm happy to have one in my hand and my eyes are busy. Wow, beautiful, cute! and in front of Sefek and Chemeth, they wipe like children.

Style was also peeking in from next door and leaking an exclamation. When Tiara said, "That's so nice!!" and even though he bounces up his voice with all his strength, he returns it with all his strength. Begin to see so many shellfish in this world.

"I'm so glad...! Besides, shellfish is rarely seen in Friesia..."

The Kingdom of Friesia does not face the sea. So there is no harbor or beach anywhere in the kingdom instead of the king capital. That's why I've never seen such beautiful shellfish. I can't believe you're giving me so much of that anymore.

As much as I want to find it all now, but it definitely exceeds the amount I can arrange on the table because of its weight. I'll take the time to indulge myself in all this when I get back to my room.

Sefek and Chemetho looked at each other happily with their reddish faces to me, unable to hide their joy and emotion. I wonder how long it took me to collect all this quantity.

Chemetho and Sefek tell Bunko instead that they collected it there because there is a country with sea at the place of delivery. There must have been a sea in Hanazoo in Sursis too, but I'm paying the front door now over there, and if so, who is the kingdom of Zion?

It must have been tough, huh? and asked with shellfish in his hands, Chemetho said, "Val helped me too!" He raised his voice.

When Val doubted his ears about the information, he immediately "didn't help," a denial from him entered the eating mood. He said he was not a shellfish collector, but a collector when Sefek fell or Chemetho was about to be exposed to the waves. He said it was hard with the subsequent retrieval because they went into a wave about below their knees on the beach instead of being caught by beautiful shellfish....... yeah. I can really imagine. At this age, it's not strange that if a wave just falls over, it's going to drown out of your head, and Chemetho's physique will draw you to waves underfoot. If Val had gone to lend him a hand each time, I wonder if he would have had a wave on him, too. I feel this shellfish thanksgiving when I think I wet all three of them. Definitely keep one capsule.

None of the three of you caught a cold? and check your health before thanking you again for a wonderful gift. "But don't push me next time," I asked politely, and the two of them replied back to me energetically. Although Val said tongue-in-cheek, "I'm sick of shellfish already,"... I think we're going to have a hard time next year when we see the two of them do this. I'm so sorry.

"... Sefek, Chemetho, if you're done already, let's go. Lord, just give me the money and the next request."

Rising loosely from the wall, Val showed me his palm open with zero birthday party mood.

As prompted, the reward received from the style for this time and when asked for the next request, Val restarted the bags intact. Pull Chemetho's hand, which connects with Sefek, and walk out the door. It's a shame. I can't help it because it's this way that I left a lot of work to do, but I wanted to get some more time to talk to Chemetho and Cefek if it's a corner.

Sefek and Chemeth themselves shouted, "Go now," but when Val opened the door, he said, "Lord! Congratulations!" He waved at me with a very pleasant smile. Around I'd be more remnant, a little embarrassed.

He waved at the three of them from me too, wondering if it would be after his birthday to see him next.

……

"Good night, Master Pride"

Good night, he said.

Returning my greetings to Marie and Lotte, the dedicated samurai, I waited in bed for the door to close. Pathan, and exit the bed taking care not to make footsteps softly after minimal noise.

Birthday is near, and although I can't force it, I really wanted to do something by the end of the day.

"Two people in the corner gathered it for me..."

Whimpering like an excuse, I gently move the cloth bag I had on my desk to a wide table.

I really wanted to do it during the day, but I dared to avoid it because doing so would definitely make Lotte and Marie as well as Style and Tiara help. It's a gift for me, though many, and I want to sort it out properly. Because Sefek and Chemetho picked this up while wet in the sea water on a wide beach.

I want to sort it all out here by the end of the night, pack it in a box, and even reveal it to the Tiaras tomorrow. When Chemetho and the others came back to the castle soon, they said, "I saved it so beautifully!" I would also like to show you my gratitude.

I already had Lotte and the others prepare the cases to be put in, and all I have to do is split them up nicely and put each in. Having placed the lit little lights on the side of the table, I decide to start with a thorough check of what percentage the shellfish size is each. Jalala the contents of the bag with great care not to break the contents on the table

Gachan.

"... that?

Unexpectedly, an eye dots an object that rolls out of a cloth bag in an unexpected shape.

Though I thought it was nuts or something again, not big enough to compare to other shellfish, apparently not. I stared and tried to bring the lights closer but not the shellfish shape.

They were in the bottom of a bag that was tightly packed with shellfish, with a little bit of sand and little shellfish snagging around. I thought you might have picked up some drifting material, so I took it in my hand, but I took it in my hand and soon I can tell it's different. It was scratched fine because it was rubbed under shellfish, but it's not old. And most importantly, this is proper...

"... pocket watch...?

It's moving.

With Kachi, Kachi, Kachi. I don't see how the gear broke or where it rusted. If you soak it in sea water, you won't be able to do it. This is working fine, and if you open it inside, the time is right. No matter how you look at it, it's definitely a brand new pocket watch.

Small watches that move by hand winding have a habit of carrying in our country as well. Confirmation of time is equally important, from senior to common people. I'm more of a squire or a samurai without it, but still the importance of time goes hand in hand.

Once I closed the lid again after it opened, there was a crest of the kingdom of Zion on the surface. I did see something similar in Friesia when I went down to the castle. It seems to be a common souvenir for Wangdu markets and such. My country is the crest of the kingdom of Friesia.

Although it is often bought by the people as a sign of their country, it is a popular souvenir for visitors to the country. Something at a glance that shows what country it belongs to.

I'm not yet an adult. I'm not easily invited to exotic countries, and I rarely descend under exotic castles. It's invaluable because you can't buy souvenirs from this kind of market.

"... Beautiful"

I accidentally glance at the carved part with my fingers.

The silver pocket watches that the sculptor is crafting one by one are all warm, unlike in previous life. I can only immediately think of one person who thinks of such a good thing.

I think Cefek and Chemetho would have told me if they had that kind of surprise, and whatever it is that makes it an underling of shellfish from the two of us seems like him. I've never seen Val wear a watch, and I'm sure his personal belongings didn't get mixed up. Then this means a birthday celebration for me as well as a souvenir?

Though my employer at work, I'm just a little surprised you put me through that kind of step. But I'm happy twice that.

I also thought I should thank you the next time I see you, including confirmation, but I'll stop right there. He didn't tell me on that occasion. The fact that Cefek and Chemetho didn't even know about it is likely that he wanted to hide the very fact that he gave me a gift, a royalty he hated. Besides,............... here it is.

Chari, and pick a chain with your fingers that stretches out of your pocket watch.

To wear it, silver watches basically come with chains. The way it is used, fastened to clothes and belts and placed in pockets or lowered to the neck, also depends on the length of the chain and the person who uses it. But this is extremely short in length.... or it's obviously been pulled a thousand times along the way.

It would be a dark "don't carry" sign of intent that every clasp chain is broken so you can't dare wear it. Well, it's certainly a storm of pointers if I wore a pocket watch from another country. That kind of place really sounds like him again.

I don't know if it's on something or his whim. Still warmed up from the bottom of my chest just because of the fact that you gave it to me. I can't believe it's from that Val who hates royalty, and that's what this is all about for once in his life or not.

Take your hands off the short chain and grab the silver watch gently. After opening the lid and keeping a brief look at the needle of the clock that rattled, I placed it on the table so that I could see the time.

Once again, I pick up the shellfish that Cefek and Chemetho collected for me and start sorting them into cases comparing their size.

"... looks like the three of us."

Incense of sea sand and tide on shellfish by the way.

Thousand broken pocket watches in chains.

Dim rooms with thin moonlights seem to still hear fine waves.

I kept carving my time to feel like I was spending the night with them, indulging them if I noticed.

………

"So... you can't, Cefek. What would you do that for before you wake Val?"

Time the morning sun climbed.

They returned from delivery to the kingdom of Friesia and, as usual, took their room in the inn, but had not yet woken up alone. Cefek first, and Chemetho also woke up to be pulled by the signs of her waking up, but Val is the only one still asleep in the morning and sun.

Slow to sleep, Val, but it's not uncommon to wake up the slowest of the three in the morning. Sometimes Chemetho sleeps just the same. And it was also Sefek's custom to wake them up.

Unlike Val, who does very little that seems familiar to him, Sefek does well as a woman in the morning, and then wakes up Val. Chemetho also tries to wipe his face, clean the room and pack at least, but the one that takes the most time was Sefek.

And now that I'm done with that selfishness, she still doesn't try to wake Val. Simply because sometimes it's still faster to wake him up than usual, but there was something I wanted to try before that.

"It's not good. It's a gift we've collected. Let's count how much shellfish they've collected before we give it to the Lord."

With that said, Sefek reaches for a cloth bag stained with the scent of tide, placed on the table.

Every year, they pick up shellfish full of cloth bags as a gift to Pride, and this year they were in a particular mood.

I sorted the beautiful shellfish one by one even as I picked them up and took the hard work out of them. The two of us think it's the best number and quality we've ever had.

Whatever, it's the day before my first pride's birthday after the recapture.

I wanted to give them something really good to celebrate other than their birthday.

I'd like to count the numbers, but Sefek wanted to see if all the shellfish he picked up were satisfactory again. I wish I had a crack in it or something that wasn't pretty if I looked closely.

Ever since I first gave it to Pride, I've been extra concerned since I saw a bunch of shellfish beautifully trapped like gems in the case she showed me after Leon's engagement was dissolved. I know Chemetho is not half as funny as Sefek is and wants to care about it and see what's in it. But.

"You can't! Because..."

I'm about to raise my voice and cover my mouth there.

I look back with my eyes to see if I've woken up Val, who is still asleep, and make sure he's still asleep.

We both just caressed our breasts down, and Sefek said again, "Because?" and leaned his neck toward Chemetho. Chemetho, with his hands down that covered his mouth, moves his mouth with the voice he lurks there again.

"... because. Once you get the contents out, you might crack it in the clap. It would be sad if I cracked one before giving it to the Lord. I'll give it to the Lord after today's delivery, and let's be patient?

I'm sure they're all beautiful. Sefek also squeezes his lips at Chemetho, who laughs slightly with his eyebrows hanging like that.

If that's true, I think it's sadder to break it here myself, even though I'm in a hurry. "... ok," he put up with, with his back to the cloth bag, a little sorry. To Sefek, who convinced me, Chemetho stretches out his pom pom and arm, strokes his head and laughs.

"If the Lord decorates the case again, let's count it together."

Chemetho, I know.

The night before he first gave Pride shellfish, he noticed it behind his eye lid without moving one. That Val, who should have slept with us, got out of bed with little noise.

That I was screwing something into the depths of the shellfish packed cloth bags I had on the table.

Then every year, by that time, he only stops by the souvenir shop once in a different country.

And this year. Yesterday, approaching Pride's nineteenth birthday, he was taking a trip to the souvenir shop in the "Kingdom of Friesia" before he took the inn.

And last night, Chemetho, who was similarly diving into a blanket and pretending to sleep and waiting, saw it again this year. On the brink of being stuck in a cloth bag while the moonlight illuminates.

Give me a pocket watch with a long (...) chain (...) under (...) lifted (...).

"Lord, I hope you're happy this year!

To Chemetho, smiling and laughing, Sefek also nodded this time with his face broken.

Right! And if you raise your voice to full strength, Val will finally wake up to that tall voice. If you zero your first shout in frustration with "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Let's get to the castle, I want to give it to the Lord soon! and alternately shouted near his ear, and Val yelled in a voice that sounded in the room after waking up completely.

Confirmation of absenteeism from countries to the Birthday Festival of Pride, entrusted with restarting the courier.

It wasn't until they finished it all that they handed the gift to Pride.

Val doesn't know what Pride is doing with the pocket watch he pushed.

And I don't care. At least it was enough to imitate the foolishness of wearing that cheap thing or not bothering to ask ourselves. If they asked me, I was also thinking of an excuse not to lie that it was a cheap item to buy clothes, but at that time I had decided that I would never give it to them again in the future.

Every time I think of it as a gift of self-satisfaction, I should throw it away by mistake as a drifting object. Every time Chemetho and Sefek handed over a cloth bag to her, I regretted that I kept giving it away until I worked such a small piece of work on purpose for just one moment, and after I gave it to her, I became more frustrated because I wanted to leave the scene as soon as possible. I seriously thought every year I'd stop giving it away.... Except this year.

"Sister, are you sure? I'd like to help you with a case of gifts from Cefek and Chemetho."

"I'll help you, too. It will be hard for Pride alone every year. Why don't you at least ask Lotte or Marie to help?"

"Yeah, it's good. I'm sorry, thank you Tiara, Style."

"This is just me"
