113 8. City Sightseeing in the Small Tiara Rose

The next day, Tiara Rose woke up at a time when the day was higher.

I rubbed my nagging eyes and would surely be comfortable if I slept twice...... I think so - haha.

"Yes, I'm getting smaller... and staying smaller!

I slept overnight and tried to restore my magic, thinking maybe my body was back to normal, but apparently that was sweet.

Because Tiara Rose was making a scene, or the bedroom door opened and Filine came in.

"Good morning, Dear Tiara Rose"

"Philine! Good morning.... I'll stay small."

"... to Master Keith, I asked what the situation was. I will do everything in my power to support Master Tiara Rose, so let's find a way to get back to normal!

Tiara Rose weeps carefully at Filine, who smiles fine. How can you be so sweet when this has happened with a decision you've made on your own?

I'm not surprised you scolded me.

Tiara Rose stepped off the sleeping table and hugged Philine all the time.

"Thank you, Philine. I always leaned on you, and I'm sorry I bothered you so much."

"That's not true. Was Tiara Rose done to save His Majesty and Salamander? You can never boast of it, and you can never disdain it."

"... yeah"

Give Philine a gentle hug and be wrapped in relief.

Rubbing his nose, Tiara Rose smiled and turned to Philine. Then he immediately wipes his eyes and nose with a handkerchief.

"Your pretty face is ruined."

"... I won't cry anymore"

"Yes. Shall we take a bath and get dressed?"

The bathroom provided in the back of the bedroom is smaller than it should be, but is free to use it.

Warm up the tired body, carefully wash the hair that had been slightly sanded, and finally give an oil massage to change into a child-sized dress.

What was available was a sea dress with a different design pearl than yesterday. The knee length makes it easy to move, but it has a large bow.

"You're so cute, Dear Tiara Rose. What should I do with my hair?"

"I don't think it's okay to stay like this..."

"Because you look like a child, you think you can make it cute."

Tiara Rose's opinion was dismissed in a rush, and Filine messes with her hair. The dough is good, and the three braided knits are adorable. But then there's nothing wrong with being an adult.

Fix your hair as you think about it, more than a dozen minutes. I can do my hair today.

"... it's done!

"... Exactly, what do you think?

Tiara Rose laughs bitterly at herself in the mirror.

It's a twin tail tied with ribbons from a high position on both sides. Sure, I don't think I would do this to myself as an adult, but it's quite embarrassing.

- Because it looks like a child, it doesn't look good... I don't mean...

I wonder if that's okay, I laugh bitterly.

"It looks great on you, Dear Tiara Rose. It's okay."

"Really? Then this will do. Thank you, Philine."

After this, we have a lunch in the name of breakfast, an operational meeting to put our bodies back together. At any rate, we have to get back before Aquasteed arrives at Sandrose.

Running on horses with little time off, I was finally able to cross the border into the Sandrose Empire.

Aquasteed wipes the flowing sweat and raises his voice, "Let's take a break".

"Rest in that oasis over there, Your Majesty Aquasteed. We have a cold drink for you."

"Oh, let me do that"

Take a breath and lower your back to the roots of the trees that are just in the shade.

After finishing work early because Tiara Rose was worried, she would be able to get to Sandrose's Palace about two days earlier than planned.

Nevertheless, both humans and horses are quite drained in this heat. I have no problem with this because I am taking a serious break, but I will have to give enough time off to the knights who are accompanying me after this visit.

As Aquasteed photographed his gaze into the water of the oasis, the surface of the water was glittering reflecting the sun's light. It's very beautiful and I don't feel like something strange is happening at first sight.

Even the water level doesn't look so low...

The Marine Forest knights don't know what's going on with Sandrose, so they indulge in the water of the oasis "cold and pleasant".

I sweated cold when I heard the anomaly from Isira through the sea fairy, but for this minute I wouldn't have a problem.

Sometimes I asked Claire about Salamander, and Isira and I have already shared information. The fairies should calm down soon.

"... I want to see you soon"

What came from Aquasteed's mouth, which moistened his throat with cold things, was his thoughts on his beloved wife.

It's been sixteen days since we broke up. I was wondering if you were okay with some of it, but it's outrageous. He wants to meet and hug quickly and feel its warmth, and he falls into a similar sensation to dryness.

"Tiara......"

Call your name and think of what you're going to be doing now.

Would you be hitting the tongue drum on Sandrose sweets? Or would you be admiring a desert rose, a rare ore, or watching a witch dance?

Even if I'm wrong, I'd like to think there shouldn't be any cases going on.

"Tomorrow, Sandrose's Palace."

Aquasteed stood up to leave and spoke to the knight.

There were five gathered in the room given to Tiara Rose: her husband, Tiara Rose, Keith, Pearl, Philine and Elliot. Tarmo is on guard in front of the room.

Keith looked at Tiara Rose, who remained small, and sighed, "I knew it".

"You can't go back to normal until you take the magic back from Salamander."

"No... Master Salamander doesn't know where he is."

"Saravia said she'd show up at the festival, so you'll have to wait for it"

We may be able to force him to drag him out with force moves, but if it's even a battle, it could damage the palace as well. Thinking about it, this is not a very good idea.

Seeing Tiara Rose fall apart, Pearl says, "You don't deserve it."

"You just have to wait until the festival and get mad at Aquasteed for coming here"

"Ugh...... somehow, I want to get it back before Master Aqua gets here!

It worries me, and most importantly, I don't want to look like one of these kids.

I told you I wouldn't take all that personally, you Arisama. Maybe I get stunned and captured by affection... something like that.

If that happens, you won't be able to get back on your feet for the rest of your life. So somehow, I want the magic back before Aquasteed gets here somehow.

Hearing Tiara Rose's appeal, Keith and Pearl worry.

And while Pearl put a fan in his mouth, he mouthed a certain suggestion.

"Then let the king of Sandrose treat you like one. If he is, can he cross over to Salamander?

"To His Majesty Saravia? Right, I'm going to ask.... or what happened to His Majesty Saravia after that?

I realize that I have no idea what Saravia is up to since Tiara Rose got smaller, although she was totally out of her mind.

If I remember correctly, they should have left me on Salamander's bunk.

It was Elliot who answered the impatient Tiara Rose inquiry.

"If it was His Majesty Saravia, we would have been entertained by guests from other countries in the morning."

"Really... you're safe"

If it had fallen again...... and I was a little worried.

But when I heard Tiara Rose say it, Keith laughs, whoa.

"You're worried you're getting smaller because of him"

"... I am the one who said I would give you magic, so it is not because of His Majesty Saravia that I have become this figure. Because of Salamander, I will not blame His Majesty Salavia."

Sounds like Tiara.

Then you can do whatever you want, Keith tells you.

"I couldn't have expected Salamander to take my magic away from me, but I'm not going to do this again next time. You're going to Saravia's, aren't you?

"Yes, of course!

Tiara Rose held her fist for a long time and decided to go see Saravia.

- Of, but things aren't going so well.

"I can't believe I can't see you right away..."

Tiara Rose swells her cheeks when she usually comes to see her on her own even if she doesn't want to.

I saw that. Filine grinned bitterly and prepared me cold lemonade and gelato.

"I have no choice, because His Majesty Saravia is also busy.... Of course, I would like you to give priority to Master Tiara Rose..."

That's what I said, Filine, smiling but not her eyes laughing.

"It means we can take time at night, but it's not time to meet the queen of another country!

"... I have no choice. What countries other than Marine Forest are also invited to this festival. As emperor, it is only natural that His Majesty Saravia should be dealt with."

Rather, I appreciate you taking the time, albeit at night.

The preparation of the festival, the hospitality of the guests, the problems of the salamanders and the fact that Salavia has a lot to do unexpectedly.

Tiara Rose drinks lemonade and makes her face shine "delicious".

Even more gelato is available, which makes me think a hot country is a good thing. Although indoors use demonic props to regulate the temperature.

"Speaking of which, I have time until tonight...... what do you do? Keith and Pearl said they wanted to go sightseeing in the city."

"To the city? … well, there's nothing to do in the palace, why don't we go to the city"

"Yes."

As well as making the city, Sandrose is very different in terms of what it sells, culture, and history. It would be very much to learn to actually see that in your own eyes.

Tiara Rose came to the city with four people: Keith, Pearl and Philine.

There are oasis trees growing all over the city and water gushing out of several places. Apparently, this is a city that could have come from multiple oases.

The amount of water in the oasis flowing into the city is sufficient, and the sight I saw while I was away seems to be a lie.

Tiara Rose stares, is that it? and tilt his neck.

"Maybe the water level is back."

"Hmm, so be it. Salamander was filled with the magic of Tiara Rose, so I guess it's back to normal."

Pearl, who answered Tiara Rose's question, looks around the city.

"The water level will go down again for a while when you take back your magic to undo it. But that magic is all the emperor of this country has to give."

Nothing. Pearl says Tiara Rose doesn't need to think about anything.

"... hmm? What's that?

"Huh?"

It was a pearl that showed a serious looking atmosphere, but I turned my gaze to a certain point.

When Tiara Rose and the others saw it, they apparently sold stalls. What they sell is a cold drink with tapioca in it.

Pearl seems to have never seen it before, and she is softening like she drank it.

"You've got weird grains in you."

Keith didn't even seem to know, which sounds strange.

"That's a tapioca drink. Uh... it's made from potatoes called cassava. I think that's in sweet coconut milk."

"Yam...? I thought it was nuts or something."

"You look like a nut."

It's a small grain, so I wonder if few people know that that one is made of potatoes.

When Tiara Rose went to the stall, the shopkeeper, who apparently was just listening, spoke to her.

"Young lady, you know so much about it, even though it's small. That's great."

"Because tapioca drinks have a great crumbling texture! I didn't know it was a popular drink in Sandrose… it's a big discovery"

Tiara Rose enthusiastically says she would love to buy Cassava and go home and also make tapioca drinks at Marine Forest.

"Ooh... you lady really like tapioca. Uh... you want to buy it?

"Oh, I was. Can I have four?

"Yes, sir."

Filine gives the money and everyone receives coconut milk with tapioca.

A sip first spreads the sweetness of the rich coconut. Sweet but refreshing and very easy to drink. He has made it since he broke the coconut, and it's cold very well.

"Oh, delicious..."

"Mmm, this is pretty good."

Next to the lukewarm Tiara Rose, Pearl also drinks satisfactorily. Apparently you like it, can't you buy coconut and go home? And I'm even seriously considering it.

But it is Tiara Rose who endorses it.

"Nice, would be great if Marine Forest had coconut......!

"That's right! I hope there's such a thing as Cassava. But given the climate, it's quite... No, should I talk to Keith about this"

Look at the two shags, Keith does coconut milk for Christ's sake. Although it does taste good, I don't want to drink so much because it's sweet.

Maybe they'll talk to me later, but then I can sell Pearl a favor... and I think Keith did.

The next thing the Tiara Roses headed for was the desert garden, one of the tourist destinations outside the city. This is a very fantastic and beautiful place with lots of desert roses made from ore occurring naturally.

One of the sights is the variety of ornaments available nearby, such as accessories made of desert rose ore.

- I was also seen in the basement of the palace, but I knew it was different when I saw it in the desert.

After seeing the desert roses all the way, ornaments and more take you to the stores.

"Wow, big... you also sell real desert roses"

I thought I was just admiring the natural stuff, but it didn't seem like it. As Tiara Rose looked with admiration, the clerk woman said, "Isn't that amazing? I've spoken to him."

"They say it took me about a hundred years to do this."

"A hundred years too...... It's bigger than my height."

"That's true. If you're a little girl, you'd better have something smaller. It's a popular amulet."

What was on the guided shelf was a tiny, colourful desert rose.

Different descriptions are given for each color and the effect is written.

The one with a strong yellow flavour is Golden Luck. What's reddish is love luck. Anything close to blue, good luck.

"It's very popular with women."

"You are. She's cute, so why don't I buy one too?"

As Tiara Rose watches, she realizes that Filine is watching a brooch of reddish desert roses. Apparently, you're into romantic luck stuff.

…………

Unexpectedly Tiara Rose stared, realizing her gaze, Filine's body jumped in a freak.

"No, um... I was just watching, wasn't I?

"No, I wouldn't hesitate.... Yes, I will give it to you!

I always take care of Filine, so I'm so glad she can give me what I want.

I just grab two red desert roses and I'll do the accounting. The second, of course, is Elliot's share. I want you to put on a friendly matching brooch and be happy soon.

Keith sees a product in the store appropriately, but Pearl was buying a desert rose necklace that would be an amulet.

"Yes, Philine. Give Elliot the other one."

"Thank you, Dear Tiara Rose"

Tiara Rose smiles contentedly when she sees Philine happily received it.

When he sees the shopping done, Keith hugs him about Tiara Rose saying, "We're going next." Apparently, he thought that if it was a child's leg, he would carry it because it was too late.

"Is there somewhere Keith would like to see it?

"Me? Nothing in particular. I don't even know about Sandrose, and I don't know where Tiara wants to go."

"Then let's take a look around the city"

"Okay."

If you have a place or shop you care about, you just need to take a moment to look.

Thus the Tiara Roses took their time and enjoyed the sightseeing of Sandrose.

Standing asleep easily, he is like an angel descending from the sky.

Tiara Rose, completely exhausted by tourism, was in deep sleep in Keith's arms when she returned to the palace.

It's Filine who's smiling at it.

"When your body is a child, does the rhythm of life fit with it?"

"If you look like this, you won't have the strength."

If I were an adult Tiara Rose, I wouldn't have had anything to sleep about.

I received her mumbling from Keith, and Filine was just about to take her to her bedroom... where she was called from behind.

"Kitten!

"Your Majesty Saravia... I'm sorry, now..."

"Oh, are you asleep? I'm here because I've got time..."

It's pathetic to wake you up just like that, when Saravia tried to stroke Tiara Rose's hair - and Keith grabbed her arm before that hand touched her.

"Whose permission are you trying to touch?"

"Oops - excuse me for this, Fairy King of the Woods"

Saravia puts her hands up and mouths a brief apology.

"Tomorrow morning, I set aside some time. Can you tell Tiara Rose that at that time...?

"Oh, I don't mind"

I decided to shift my plans for today to tomorrow, and the Keiths took Tiara Rose back to the room.
