A few days after Rithial came to visit him, his injury has settled down to a not so bad state. So today, he was invited to a dinner party hosted by Prince Washekht.

There are many preliminaries, such as thanking the prince for defeating Nektohar and deepening our friendship, but the main purpose is to meet the princes. The main purpose of the meeting is to meet the princes. We want to find out who the enemy is and plan our countermeasures for the future. .......

You can't be too uptight, Ilias. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had to deal with this.

"Mm-hmm, .......

He's changing into the formal wear that Prince Washekht has prepared for him. Just one decent outfit can change the impression you get. The only thing is that Lord Mixu is looking at him with an ecstatic expression, but I don't think it's that bad.

"Mmm, I wanted to go to Wolfe, too. ......

I wish I could have been there. I could have asked Cyra for Tarz.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. It's not that there are no clothes that can be worn by a wolfe with a tail, but when it comes to formal wear for a prestigious place, it's not so easy.

"Why don't you have her wear Lord Ratzel's armor and Lord Ratzel wear a dress?

"Think about the height difference, Mikus. The outer armor, but the inner one is a size difference.

I'm glad he denied it. Wolfe would have chosen to wear it if he could have been with him, and with Mixu's personality, he would have really made me wear the dress. I wore a dress to Taze's dinner party, but I was afraid that if I moved with my sword equipped, even the slightest scratch would tear the dress. After all, flouncy clothes are not suitable for battle.

Wolfe is waiting outside: ....... If anything goes wrong, just make a loud noise.

Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.

His guards will be me and Master Mixu. You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few things to do. She probably has a lot of dark weapons inside her. As a member of the Tarzian royal family, it was a complicated piece of equipment to wear, but the current Lord Mixu had made it his top priority to protect him. Let's just say he's a good guy.

As soon as we entered the hall we were led to, the eyes of many of the participants turned to us. As with the human participants, his dark hair and eyes would inevitably make him stand out. Nevertheless, he seemed unfazed, looking around as he spotted Prince Washekht.

Even though it was hosted by royalty, there were still a lot of them.

"The other princes have their own associations with the nobility. The other princes also have relationships with the nobility. It would take a lot of effort to gather all the princes together if we didn't have such an occasion.

And you want me to find out who's helping them. Thank you.

Who of the royal family provided Nektohar with the information about the ruins? However, the prince himself did not help with the supplies, but a nobleman in his power. It would be convenient for him if that person was present here.

Prince Washekht, who is making arrangements in anticipation of all this, is a very reliable ally, but ...... there is no proof that he is a complete ally yet. I can't judge that, so I can't help but feel defensive.

I will introduce you at random for a while. I'll introduce you to the other princes when the time is right.

"Oh, thank you. But are you sure? I saw Hillemera looking at me.

Not good. No, it's not. But if I leave you alone, Ulysses could take you out. Then we can't match you with the other princes.

They could take you out. ....... What kind of woman is Princess Yumyess? I'm sure he's not going to be seduced by a woman, but ...... I doubt it.

It's not a bad thing to be taken home by a princess, though.

"My friend, I'm allowed to take you home.

Yes, I'm sorry.

It seems that even Lord Mixu is offended by his frivolous comments. As for me, I have to go along with the meeting, so I would prefer that you refrain from doing so.

First of all, he introduced me to some influential people in Serende, such as the nobles who manage the land and the merchants who are involved in distribution. It's a good thing that he's acting in a way that will make his business with Taze more active while making inquiries.

"What do you think, my friend?

"Doesn't smell right. Even if any of the merchants you've been introduced to were involved, they didn't tell you that they were demons, they just did what they were asked.

"You don't think they're hiding anything? I don't think so.

You don't have to tell me that, Washekht. Merchants are confidential people. Even the nobles who control the land keep a secret or two. They just don't seem to be prepared to let their secrets get out to us.

You smelled that he was keeping a secret. ......

When you say it smells bad, all anyone can smell is perfume. I know that's not what you mean, but that's all I can think of.

The fourth aristocrat introduced to me, however, I think it would be a good idea to check him out separately from this case.

"Well, why is that?

"While I was looking away, he was making a value assessment of the Iliad and the Mix. They seem like they could be a commodity. I get the impression you're familiar with the trade, maybe you're involved in the human prostitute trade?

I did feel his eyes on me, but I did not read his intentions. He said it was a rule of thumb, but it also meant that he was in a place where he was used to seeing such people. I asked him where he came from, but he didn't want to go into details. I'm curious about him, but I'm not sure if he's just looking for something scary.

I'll check it out next time.

And the seventh merchant, if you want to ingratiate yourself with him, let him go home early and run some errands. I don't know why, but he's probably leaving some kind of concern at home. Maybe a family member is sick, or pregnant, or about to give birth.

I'll arrange for .......

All I can say right now is that he is doing great. Even if he doesn't have that eye, he is extremely accurate in analyzing his opponents. I guess it's natural for him to be focused since he's looking for an enemy, but still.

You're doing very well, my friend.

"As long as we're not under attack, we can concentrate on observation. Mix, if you're worried about the weapon you've planted rubbing on you, why don't you go fix it in the bathroom or something?

"...... haha. I'll be back in a bit to pick some flowers. ......

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. Mr. Mixu left the scene with a slightly red face.

He was now conscious of Mr. Mixu and me. No, it was probably because he was also observing Prince Washekht. He is as nervous as a master of martial arts. He hides it so well that you wouldn't notice it if you didn't know him normally. But the way he looks so nonchalant, it's almost as if he's been seen before ........

In the event that you've got any questions regarding where by and how to use the web site, you can contact us at the web site. I have a hunch that she is a member of the royal family because of her demeanor.

"Oh, Washekht. Isn't that who you are? Isn't that right?

"...... Let me introduce you. This is the first princess, Princess Yumyess. Sister Yumyess, these are the people of the planet Yugra.

It's not just the glittering outfits, but even more so, the unique atmosphere that the big boys wear that presses against your skin. He is very proud of his royal status and does not try to hide it. He is very proud of his royalty and doesn't try to hide it, but he also has a strong ego. ...... and analyzed it as he did.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why. "You are younger than I thought, aren't you? What is your name? What are your plans for the rest of your life?

"I can't tell you my name for some reason, but I'm about this old.

I'm not going to tell you my name for various reasons, but my age is about this." He looked a little puzzled as Princess Yumyess closed the distance between them, but showed her his age with his finger.

I'm not sure what to say. You're not a half-breed ...... with elves, are you? It's funny that you don't show any features at all. But you're mature enough that you don't need to lead with it.

"Sister Yumiess. I'm not saying it's wrong to be a royal and thrive, but at least do it where my brother can't see it.

It's not wrong to be aggressive with the opposite s*x in public, you know? It's not a bad thing to approach the opposite s*x in public, you know, to let them know who the royal favorites are, so they can choose what to do with themselves.

I'm well aware of that. I'm asking you, as sisters and brothers, to refrain from any sight that might ruin your appetites.

Prince Washekht's words were laced with venom in places, but Princess Yumyess didn't care as she embraced and entwined her arms around him. She smells a little of alcohol, but it's not like she's drunk. If anything, she is drunk with herself.

"I heard you found out about one of my informants. Are you so generous as to let him go free, or are you not ...... cautious enough?

"I just don't like having people around to take my place every now and then. And it's pathetic that someone who tried to get close to you with his own back on the line would just get fired.

"I guess there's nothing to be afraid of. That's good. Why don't you tell me more about yourself?

Maybe when you're finished with your case.

Aside from Mixu's slightly puffy face, he doesn't seem to be swayed by Princess Yumyess's s*xuality. I guess it's much better than the Purple Demon King. ...... What about that too?

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had it. I'll help you as much as I can! I'll help you as much as I can, because then you'll have one less person to compete with for the throne, right?

"Sister Yumiess. You can look at me there all you want, but from an objective point of view, I think sister Yumiess is more suspicious than I am.

"Oh? Prince Washekht who knows more about the ruins than anyone else? You can exchange information without having to steal documents from the ruins, right?

That's what he was concerned about. Only the royal family can freely access the documents of the ruins, but Prince Washekht is the only one who can provide Nektokhar with the information of the ruins without needing the documents. If no clear evidence can be found, the most likely candidate could be Prince Washekht.

That's possible. It is possible, but I could have provided more useful ruins as a cover. But I could have presented a more useful site as a cover, but I wouldn't have bothered to introduce a site right next to Selende's homeland.

"Isn't that what every prince does? What prince wouldn't be afraid of being noticed by his father? That's the lowest form of rebuttal.

That's good. It allows me to challenge myself to be more ambitious.

If His Majesty and Lord Mikus had been talking like this, all the knights of Tarz would have been on edge. However, this exchange seemed to be normal for the two of them, and there was no sign of anger. If I had to say anything, I would say that the expression of disgust on his face in between the two is a bit good.

I don't think I'd be in the mood if I had a nagging Washekht by my side. See you soon, my little star of Yuggra.

Princess Yumyess stroked his cheek lightly and left with a lustrous smile on her face. Her disappearance made him feel as if the temperature around him had dropped somewhat.

"You of the planet Yugra, huh? It seems you've caught the eye of a troublesome woman.

Washekht's small talk is becoming more appreciated.

"I've prepared your throat for today. You should be grateful.

After a few moments of greeting the nobles and merchants, Prince Washekht seemed to have found someone in the corner of the room and ushered us in.

There was a man there. He had a unique atmosphere and his skin was whiter than Princess Yumyess. Or perhaps I should say pale rather than white. He looked as if he had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

"This is Prince Noahsa, the First Prince. Brother Nu Husa, this is Yugra's Star People.

"...... seems to be a bit good at listening to people's faces, but otherwise he's an ordinary guy.

"You're an ordinary guy, too. You're the lucky one.

Unlike Princess Yumyess, Prince Noufsa was looking at him with a fixed gaze. Unlike Princess Yumyess, Prince Noufsa looked at him with a fixed gaze, not trying to show his royal dignity, but just his pure self. Is this the first prince ......? Prince Washekht is more like a prince.

Washekht, I've seen you. You can leave now, right? Why don't you just bring him to your room instead of introducing him here?

"Brother Nuhussa is always so absent-minded. I don't feel comfortable staking out the front of my room with a guest.

....... But well, it's certainly an unusual look. Kuro hair, black eyes,......, just like the black demon king of folklore. I didn't expect to see such a sinister figure being carried around.

The Princess Yumyess was affectionate, but Prince Nuhusa was not. I've heard that he's not a polite person, but I didn't realize he was this bad. ....... However, he does not show any signs of displeasure, and in fact seems to be more at ease with her than Princess Yumyess.

You didn't point out that he has a bad eye.

It's not so different from my own. I'm not going to stick a verbal blade into myself. You're free to cause problems, but we're the ones who have to deal with them. You should work to make the cleanup easier.

Is it okay to cause problems?

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but it's a good thing. Personally, I'd be grateful if you could hand over the reins to Yumiez. Every time he comes to see me, I have to ventilate the room to get rid of the smell of his perfume. Every time he comes to see me, I have to open the window and my hands burn in the sun.

I wonder if she's not just being curt with him, but with everyone. The way she complains about Princess Yumyess also seems to be sincere.

"Why don't you just go live underground?

"Try that. If you do that, Chisanthe and Washekto will bury you alive. Chisanthe would be buried alive and Washekht would be waterboarded.

"If you're planning to kill Brother Nuhusa, that's certainly the choice you'd make. But I'd rather spend my time in the ruins.

"Ruins idiot. I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. ...... Hey, speaking of rumors, here comes another one.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. There are several people around him who seem to be guarding him, and the man himself, though dressed in formal attire, carries a sword at his waist.

Judging from the way he walks, he must be a man who wears armor on a daily basis. His body is also much more robust than those around him.

"Oh! It's Brother Nuhussa and Washekht! It's unusual for Brother Nuhussa to be in a place like this. Was it Washekto who summoned you?

As you can imagine, it's Prince Chisanthe, the Second Prince. Brother Chisanthe, this is the thing.

Isn't it true that you don't even want to be introduced properly anymore, this prince.

Prince Chisanthe's sense of royal intimidation is no less than that of Princess Yumyess, and I can feel some kind of pressure even just by being near him. He looks like a man with a big smile, but that's not all.

Oh, you mean that thing! You're so thin! You need to work out more! Power doesn't solve everything, but it makes a lot of things possible!

"If you keep up with this musclehead, you'll end up with muscles in your head. I've done my part. I'm leaving.

"Well, I thought this would be a good opportunity to have a drink with Brother Nufsah, but I'm afraid this is not the place.

I prefer a private room with candles flickering quietly, but with you here, even the candles seem noisy. I'll go out with you if we drink at different places and on different dates.

That's not drinking with you anymore, is it? No, it's a joke in Prince Noufsa's own way. ...... Is it a joke?

Prince Noufsa is leaving. As was the case with Princess Yumyess, there were a few people who moved with the princes as they moved. I guess those are their guards. They may not be standing close to the prince like Prince Chisanthe, but they seem to be taking all the precautions a prince should.

"As usual, Brother Nuhusa is a poet! You're a poet as always, Brother Nuhtha!" "Are you one of them, people of the planet Yggra?

"I'm not much of a poet, am I?

"Da-ha-ha! The other princes haven't thanked you properly anyway, have they? I would like to take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of Serendipity for defeating the demons.

"Ignoring your father's position to represent us is very bold, Brother Chisanthe.

Father wouldn't be able to say thank you in a simple way anyway. A thank you is meaningless unless it is delivered straight to the ears of the other party!

I've never felt so hot in the presence of Tarzan's knights who were training in the nude. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

"Oh, Hilmera! I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. Dahaha!

Prince Chisanthe laughs as she hugs his shoulder. Prince Chisanthe laughs as he holds him by the shoulders. He is as close as Princess Yumyess, but his body is almost floating due to his strength. I wondered if I should act as a guard, but since I have no hostile intentions, I'll just wait and see.

"Do you have any idea who was working with the demons at the time? They're a peculiar lot. They're not going to show their tails, are they?

"Including Prince Chisanthe, yes.

"Da-ha-ha! I still pride myself on being easy to understand, though! I still pride myself on being easy to understand, but your eyes look promising. I hope you'll be able to find out without causing any unnecessary problems!

Prince Chisanthe continued to laugh, seemingly unconcerned that he too was being suspected. I couldn't tell if he was laughing because he had nothing to do with it or because he was so confident. ......

After Prince Chisanthe left, there was no more incident and the dinner ended without incident. Prince Washekht did not take a single bite of his meal, but he was going to dine with Princess Hilmera later. Although the princes did not seem to be on good terms with each other, I felt that I wanted to watch over them with a pure heart.

I met up with Wolfe, who was waiting outside, and we started on our way home, but he kept walking in silence. He was probably repeating the memories of the princes he had met today in his mind and analyzing them. We tried not to interrupt him and talked in a quiet voice.

But what a ...... vicious lot they were.

Yes, ....... ....... But all of them, except Prince Noufsa, seemed to be close to him. If we can get the cooperation of the other princes, this matter can be settled quickly.

"Hey, Ilias. This Prince Nufusa, did he say very bad things to Shisho?

He was a bit rude, but I don't think it's enough to bother him. What's wrong?

Wolfe's gaze was fixed on him, and his expression was rather grim. Her face is a mixture of worry and fear.

"Shh, he's in a very bad mood. Maybe he's angry.

What ....... Lord Ratzel, you're up!

Lord Mikus pushed me to get closer to him. Well, I would have asked him even if he hadn't told me, but I was curious.

I was going to ask him because I was curious even if he didn't tell me. It was only a minor difference, one that the subhuman Wolfe could barely perceive as such.

"What's wrong? Is there something you're not happy about?

"Hmm? Yes. From the first time I met Princess Hilmera, I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I knew the other princes would be too.

I see. ....... I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will work for you. ....... Wolfe said. You're angry.

Angry. ...... Well, maybe I'm feeling something close. When there's that much hostility .......

Hostility. Did any of the three princes you met today direct it at you? It's possible that Prince Noufsa, although he was swearing at you, was not as hostile as you might think.

"Prince Noahsa?

"No, all of them. Prince Nuhusa, Prince Chisanthe, and Princess Yumies all saw me as an obstacle and an enemy.
