On the last morning in the Mississippi Valley, Ein noticed that the bed was strangely narrow.
There is something on the left and right side that can't move when I try to turn over, and I don't know if there is anyone on Ain's body who is lying on her back. I can't move at all.
Nevertheless, I don't have any difficulty sleeping.If you make Ain feel sleepy about her tough body now, it's worth the praise.
On the contrary, I felt comfortable because I cared about what was around me.
(... what is it?)
Warmth, softness, occasional sleeping sounds, and a dizzy, sweet scent come from all directions.
At last, Ain opens her eyes to see what's going on on the bed.
(I see)
Chris held firmly to his left arm.
Olivia gripped her right arm reluctantly.
Finally, Krone slept on her chest.
However, it is unusual.
They don't do this without their permission, even though they feel it's important to spoil and make Ein spoil them. Not much.
So I wondered a little bit.
I wondered what happened to Ain, who tilted her head while she slept, and decided to ask Krone.
Krone, wake up.
…………
"Hey..."
"...... ya. Just a little bit more......"
”... ahhhh!”
Krone, rubbing his face against the breastplate, was somewhere as cute as a small animal.Ein unexpectedly smiles and allows her to continue sleeping.
Actually, this is a bit strange.
Krone. Yes, that Krone.
When she's alone, she can be as sweet as the people around her think, but it's hard to imagine her going to bed without an explanation under these circumstances.
I continued by calling out to Chris and Olivia, but the result remained the same.
They don't seem to be able to explain it to me just by making sweet slurping remarks.
After all, it was a strange thing to say.
(Oh, speaking of which)
It was last night that I remembered.
Yesterday, the last day to be slowed down by the hot spring, Ein spent the night in this room with the three of them.
I told them so many memories of their trip that they could not count the things that were to come, the things that were not to be taken away, that they continued even when the four of them fell asleep.
If you look at the clock, it's just before sunrise.
I don't know when the four of them fell asleep.However, I can easily imagine that I haven't slept for a few hours.
... if I may say so, the three people beside Ein were in a state of extreme sleep deprivation.
That's why I followed my emotions differently and went to bed with Ein.
― ― ― ― Everything was caused by falling asleep last night.Ein came to understand that this was the result of somehow talking to each other about what was permissive.
(All right)
I was refreshed when I arrived at an understanding.
Then the eyelids became heavier.
(Do you want to sleep?)
I can still afford it for a while.
Three of them were asleep, and Ein himself was drowsy.
So I didn't try to wake the three of them.With the three of them feeling their body temperature beside them, they had a peaceful sleep for the other one.
◇◇◇◇
I look forward to welcoming you again.
The party, which had been dropped off in a classic greeting, boarded the airship and set off on their way back to the capital.
It seemed like the time until today would go away on the way home, so there was a shortage of time.But I was just as excited to go back to living in the King's Landing as ever.
I'll be able to do my job tomorrow.
Everyone thought the same thing, and I can see that I refreshed both my mind and body when I traveled with Ein.
... an airship flying in the sky could see the land of Ishtar.
Ein looked down at the view from the window.
I hope we can all travel again someday.
One of them muttered.
But that is definitely difficult.
Everyone is a town of the great power Ishtarika, and it's hard to just adjust the schedule.
But it turns out this trip wasn't impossible.Even if it's impossible to travel like every year, I think it's possible once every few years.
"To do that, I have to concentrate on my daily official duties..."
"Maybe five years from now."
Because I'll be particularly busy next year.
Ein, who will be nineteen this winter, was scheduled to reign.
It is the first spring after the age of twenty.He will be king next spring.
That's why we need to build on the energy we've gained on this trip.
― ― ― Even if I don't remember, I was born again as a failed king.
Failure is unacceptable. Whatever.
In order to continue the prosperity of this country, Ishtarika, in the future, we will definitely continue to do so.
Ah...
While I was thinking, I saw the capital of the kingdom.
The royal capital can be seen from the sky.Soon, the people's work became a bright light, and they welcomed Ain.
Even at midnight, the sky was bright and bright.
Now, it's time to get ready to get out.
Master Ein, I'll be there soon.
I heard Dill's voice outside the door saying, "I'm on my way!Reply, and start packing the luggage you used for your trip.
Ain, who stood up, stretched out his back and slapped his cheek!
We'll do our best again tomorrow.
Someday, I'll be able to enjoy my trip with my family again.
... I wonder if it's impure to say that?
Ein laughed after asking herself, and her determination was renewed.
I will definitely become a fine king...
"Oh, Ain"
This is Ein-sama.
Leaving the room, Sylvard and Lloyd stumbled into a bowl.
"Dear Ein, thank you again."Thank you for inviting me and Beria. ”
"Thanks from me, too." Thank you very much. "
Both Warren and Belia also came, and everyone moved face-to-face with a cheerful conversation.
"It was like a dream time."
“That's the best part. I'm glad we all enjoyed it."
"Me too. How can I thank you, Lloyd?"
"Then from tomorrow, if you're committed to my ambitions, you'll be fine."Of course, Warren-san and his mother-in-law. "
Huh?
“So are we?”
Ambition, unlike Sylvard, who opened his mouth to hear these words, Lloyd and Warren asked with concern.
Ein speaks of the content immediately.
“I have to do my best to be able to travel with my family again.”
Everyone's hearts were warmed by the adorable and lovely ambition that came out of the mouth of the next king.
Once Sylvard was surprised, he loosened his cheeks and stroked Ein's head lightly.
“Well, if we can afford it again, we'd all love to travel.”
Everyone looked down through the window at the approaching royal capital.
One day, we'll all be together again.
When the time comes between the management of the state, which should be given priority above all---.
◇◇◇◇
― ― ― ― One day, the King's city was covered in snow.
One winter day, just past November and approaching December, Ain, walking through the King's capital with a pure white breath, looked up at the sky.
"...... Hahm!?"
With the most natural words, Chris laughed as he walked next to him.
It's winter, so it's normal, right?
She is wearing a pure white coat, defeated by the snow, and only one hand is wearing gloves.
One hand only, the other wanted to be wrapped in the warmth of Ein.The grains of snow falling in the hands of the two layers are quickly melted.
By the way, if I had a new sword, would it keep me warm?
"I think I can." But, instead of being warm, you're going to get burned, so please don't try it.That's what Krone-san said! "
"...... right?"
As we talk, we get to where we want to be in a matter of minutes.
They headed for the shearling house where the roof was exposed by the heat emanating from the workshop only around the chimney, even though they snowed on the triangular roof.
The wooden gate, which has become a little old, moves slightly with its hands on it.
When she heard the sound, the door of the workshop opened and Emme appeared.
"Hey, welcome!"Come on, get in there! Shio is waiting for you! "
Yeah, thanks.
In fact, in view of its position, Mutton can bring it to the castle.
He suggested it, too, but Ein said he'd go get it.
It was a nice walk, and Mutton was a Mutton, so if there was a problem, I could adjust the sword on the spot, so Ein would really have been better off coming.
"Daddy, please"
Ein steps into the workshop and as usual, a heavy eyelid shearling appears with insufficient sleep.
If you look closely, you can also see the ememes that I refrain from putting aside.
They always did this when they trained Ein's sword.
Needless to say, Ein is not in a hurry.
Simply because the two of them are in a too high mood, they find pleasure in training their swords, and while sleeping, they spare no effort to work with each blacksmith.
It was for that reason that the two of them, who greeted Chris with Ein, smiled tired but full of accomplishment.
"It's amazing."How awesome is that? "
Mutton stretches his arms wide.
I don't know how much.
How long was the previous sword?
”Ahhn? That's right, Your Highness... that's enough, isn't it?”
My arms narrowed by about a dozen centimeters.
I still don't understand the difference.
"This one is special." Until now, it was a pseudo-product that could not add value, but if this happens, it would be better if you didn't leave this matter behind even after your Highness collapsed. "
Chris frowned at the disturbing words, but she quickly understood the intention.
It's a national crisis, isn't it, except for Ein-sama?
"That's right. Apart from His Highness, this sword uses loyalty in the first place."Nevertheless, just in case, I'd better not give it to my successor.It's a battlepower that surpasses that Bahamut ship. "
Shearling then lifted the long wooden box that had been on the floor.
Place it on a table with a sooty stump and take off the lid to reveal the inside.
The sword, Ishtar, had undergone a slight transformation.
The pitch-black sword completely disappeared like Marco had in the Living Armor era.
When Ein grabbed it, the crimson aura blinked for a moment, and only the blade part became slightly crimson.
"Isn't there a vajra tree that was made by that paranoid Fuorun using your Highness's materials?"That fire was too good.I had an unexpected problem because it was too good. ”
Maybe the furnace broke down?
"Don't worry about it."Your Highness's sword is broken every time I hit it. "
"...... Chris"
“Yes, I will pay based on the past minutes”
Ein shrugged his shoulders for a moment, wondering why he didn't tell me.
Then, apologizing, Mutton laughs loudly.
"Nnnahahahahahahahaha!Isn't it nice that the furnace breaks down! "
"That's right!" Otherwise, I can't hit the sword, so I can't help it! "
You too! Well, I'd appreciate it if you could make it up to me!
Shut up.
Sheaton began to drink the water he had left at his desk here.Ain and Chris had tea brewed too, and they carried it to their mouths.
So, this is an unexpected problem, but once the whole Ishtar has melted down!
"... eh?"
No, it was amazing, wasn't it?
"I'm surprised. Even though the flame is quiet, it melted the moment I put down my sword!"
“That's right!”
"That's why I managed to fight back from scratch!"I've been layering black dragon ingredients and things like that, but in fact, you should mix them properly. "
"That's why the characteristics of the living armor have disappeared, but don't worry!"It's just that the appearance has changed, and the characteristics should be much more amazing! "
That's something else, isn't it?
Ein muttered in his heart and saw Chris, who could only smile bitterly next to him.
”Ahahaha... you can't leave it to future generations, can you?”
I had to agree to this from end to end.
"But, don't worry."Your Highness is my master, so I'm sure you won't be able to use your power except for him.I don't care if you use that sword in training. "
No, there's a sharpness problem.
"I don't have to worry about that anymore."I do have a blade, but no matter how many times I hit it, it won't cut anything! "
"Isn't that a big problem," said Ein in astonishment.
But there is a continuation to Mutton's story.
Anything, if Ein had it, he would have slashed it.
"Try to slash it."That furnace is broken, and I need you to dismantle it! "
Looks like you're doing a carpenter's job, but in fact, the furnace is very durable.
Especially since Mutton's workshop has a state-of-the-art furnace made of isthmus, even the blacksmiths of the adventurer's sanctuary, Baltic, were a few of the delicacies that were being introduced.
And Ein drew near unto the furnace, and shook the reborn Ishtar lightly, as he was spoken.
When the crimson aura dwelt in the blade, the furnace that touched it was immediately severed.
At first glance, I don't know the difference in sharpness, but I noticed that Ein's hand had increased a lot.
It's like a different sharpness.
I was so dull that I mistook it for something else.
Isn't that right?
Shearling folds her arms next to Ein as she looks at Ishtar.
"Amazing? The sharpness is too good for me, but I'm sure that Ishtar can be more or less relieved depending on your awareness."As before, please do it as adorable as ever. "
It was like a living sword.
I had a similar feeling before, but it is evolving further.
(... thank goodness)
If you can suppress your strength by your own will, you will never go beyond that.
With Ein's familiar touch, I could put it in the sheath and carry it around my waist, and Ishtar sent me a mild fever.
It seemed like he was happy to have returned to his master.
◇◇◇◇
A letter arrived at the castle around the same time.
It came from the guild that had set foot in the castle, and Warren frowned when he saw the letter.
"What is the disturbing movement in the west of the continent?"
The swallowtail demon in the same office listens to it.
To the west, it's further into the Mississippi Valley?
"Apparently so. The adventurers who escorted the researchers to investigate the golem felt even more magical and perhaps even better.”
Isn't it a monster?
"Yes, it was an artificial --- for example, a magic wave reminiscent of a magic stone cannon."
Warren, who has said so far, acknowledges the letter.
It was sent to the guild and to the Mithrith Valley.
First of all, I want information.
We need to act quickly to get at least one clue.
"--Oh, my God."
And Warren smiled bitterly.
Continue to say it in the usual way.
"Really, this country is always a busy place"
And now Marco.
"That's probably why it's a good country."
Two old men who have supported Ishtarika since ancient times.They looked down at the busy castle town today, and smiled with a smile.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
On the last morning in the Mississippi Valley, Ein noticed that the bed was strangely narrow.
There is something on the left and right side that can't move when I try to turn over, and I don't know if there is anyone on Ain's body who is lying on her back. I can't move at all.

Yes, that Krone.When she's alone, she can be as sweet as the people around her think, but it's hard to imagine her going to bed without an explanation under these circumstances.I continued by calling out to Chris and Olivia, but the result remained the same.They don't seem to be able to explain it to me just by making sweet slurping remarks.After all, it was a strange thing to say.Oh, speaking of whichIt was last night that I remembered.Yesterday, the last day to be slowed down by the hot spring, Ein spent the night in this room with the three of them.I told them so many memories of their trip that they could not count the things that were to come, the things that were not to be taken away, that they continued even when the four of them fell asleep.If you look at the clock, it's just before sunrise.I don't know when the four of them fell asleep.However, I can easily imagine that I haven't slept for a few hours.... if I may say so, the three people beside Ein were in a state of extreme sleep deprivation.That's why I followed my emotions differently and went to bed with Ein. Everything was caused by falling asleep last night.Ein came to understand that this was the result of somehow talking to each other about what was permissive.All rightI was refreshed when I arrived at an understanding.Then the eyelids became heavier.Do you want to sleep?I can still afford it for a while.Three of them were asleep, and Ein himself was drowsy.So I didn't try to wake the three of them.With the three of them feeling their body temperature beside them, they had a peaceful sleep for the other one.I look forward to welcoming you again. The party, which had been dropped off in a classic greeting, boarded the airship and set off on their way back to the capital.It seemed like the time until today would go away on the way home, so there was a shortage of time.But I was just as excited to go back to living in the King's Landing as ever.I'll be able to do my job tomorrow.Everyone thought the same thing, and I can see that I refreshed both my mind and body when I traveled with Ein.... an airship flying in the sky could see the land of Ishtar.Ein looked down at the view from the window.I hope we can all travel again someday. One of them muttered.But that is definitely difficult.Everyone is a town of the great power Ishtarika, and it's hard to just adjust the schedule.But it turns out this trip wasn't impossible.Even if it's impossible to travel like every year, I think it's possible once every few years."To do that, I have to concentrate on my daily official duties...""Maybe five years from now."Because I'll be particularly busy next year.Ein, who will be nineteen this winter, was scheduled to reign.It is the first spring after the age of twenty.He will be king next spring.That's why we need to build on the energy we've gained on this trip. Even if I don't remember, I was born again as a failed king.Failure is unacceptable. Whatever.In order to continue the prosperity of this country, Ishtarika, in the future, we will definitely continue to do so.Ah... While I was thinking, I saw the capital of the kingdom.The royal capital can be seen from the sky.Soon, the people's work became a bright light, and they welcomed Ain.Even at midnight, the sky was bright and bright.Now, it's time to get ready to get out.Master Ein, I'll be there soon. I heard Dill's voice outside the door saying, "I'm on my way!Reply, and start packing the luggage you used for your trip.Ain, who stood up, stretched out his back and slapped his cheek!We'll do our best again tomorrow. Someday, I'll be able to enjoy my trip with my family again.... I wonder if it's impure to say that?Ein laughed after asking herself, and her determination was renewed.I will definitely become a fine king..."Oh, Ain"This is Ein-sama. Leaving the room, Sylvard and Lloyd stumbled into a bowl."Dear Ein, thank you again."Thank you for inviting me and Beria. "Thanks from me, too." Thank you very much. "Both Warren and Belia also came, and everyone moved face-to-face with a cheerful conversation."It was like a dream time."That's the best part. I'm glad we all enjoyed it.""Me too. How can I thank you, Lloyd?""Then from tomorrow, if you're committed to my ambitions, you'll be fine."Of course, Warren-san and his mother-in-law. "Huh? So are we?Ambition, unlike Sylvard, who opened his mouth to hear these words, Lloyd and Warren asked with concern.Ein speaks of the content immediately.I have to do my best to be able to travel with my family again.Everyone's hearts were warmed by the adorable and lovely ambition that came out of the mouth of the next king.Once Sylvard was surprised, he loosened his cheeks and stroked Ein's head lightly.Well, if we can afford it again, we'd all love to travel.Everyone looked down through the window at the approaching royal capital.One day, we'll all be together again.When the time comes between the management of the state, which should be given priority above all---. One day, the King's city was covered in snow.One winter day, just past November and approaching December, Ain, walking through the King's capital with a pure white breath, looked up at the sky."...... Hahm!?"With the most natural words, Chris laughed as he walked next to him.It's winter, so it's normal, right? She is wearing a pure white coat, defeated by the snow, and only one hand is wearing gloves.One hand only, the other wanted to be wrapped in the warmth of Ein.The grains of snow falling in the hands of the two layers are quickly melted.By the way, if I had a new sword, would it keep me warm? "I think I can." But, instead of being warm, you're going to get burned, so please don't try it.That's what Krone-san said! ""...... right?"As we talk, we get to where we want to be in a matter of minutes.They headed for the shearling house where the roof was exposed by the heat emanating from the workshop only around the chimney, even though they snowed on the triangular roof.The wooden gate, which has become a little old, moves slightly with its hands on it.When she heard the sound, the door of the workshop opened and Emme appeared."Hey, welcome!"Come on, get in there! Shio is waiting for you! "Yeah, thanks. In fact, in view of its position, Mutton can bring it to the castle.He suggested it, too, but Ein said he'd go get it.It was a nice walk, and Mutton was a Mutton, so if there was a problem, I could adjust the sword on the spot, so Ein would really have been better off coming."Daddy, please"Ein steps into the workshop and as usual, a heavy eyelid shearling appears with insufficient sleep.If you look closely, you can also see the ememes that I refrain from putting aside.They always did this when they trained Ein's sword.Needless to say, Ein is not in a hurry.Simply because the two of them are in a too high mood, they find pleasure in training their swords, and while sleeping, they spare no effort to work with each blacksmith.It was for that reason that the two of them, who greeted Chris with Ein, smiled tired but full of accomplishment."It's amazing."How awesome is that? "Mutton stretches his arms wide.I don't know how much.How long was the previous sword? Ahhn? That's right, Your Highness... that's enough, isn't it?My arms narrowed by about a dozen centimeters.I still don't understand the difference."This one is special." Until now, it was a pseudo-product that could not add value, but if this happens, it would be better if you didn't leave this matter behind even after your Highness collapsed. "Chris frowned at the disturbing words, but she quickly understood the intention.It's a national crisis, isn't it, except for Ein-sama? "That's right. Apart from His Highness, this sword uses loyalty in the first place."Nevertheless, just in case, I'd better not give it to my successor.It's a battlepower that surpasses that Bahamut ship. "Shearling then lifted the long wooden box that had been on the floor.Place it on a table with a sooty stump and take off the lid to reveal the inside.The sword, Ishtar, had undergone a slight transformation.The pitch-black sword completely disappeared like Marco had in the Living Armor era.When Ein grabbed it, the crimson aura blinked for a moment, and only the blade part became slightly crimson."Isn't there a vajra tree that was made by that paranoid Fuorun using your Highness's materials?"That fire was too good.I had an unexpected problem because it was too good. Maybe the furnace broke down? "Don't worry about it."Your Highness's sword is broken every time I hit it. ""...... Chris"Yes, I will pay based on the past minutesEin shrugged his shoulders for a moment, wondering why he didn't tell me.Then, apologizing, Mutton laughs loudly."Nnnahahahahahahahaha!Isn't it nice that the furnace breaks down! ""That's right!" Otherwise, I can't hit the sword, so I can't help it! "You too! Well, I'd appreciate it if you could make it up to me! Shut up.Sheaton began to drink the water he had left at his desk here.Ain and Chris had tea brewed too, and they carried it to their mouths.So, this is an unexpected problem, but once the whole Ishtar has melted down! "... eh?"No, it was amazing, wasn't it?"I'm surprised. Even though the flame is quiet, it melted the moment I put down my sword!"That's right!"That's why I managed to fight back from scratch!"I've been layering black dragon ingredients and things like that, but in fact, you should mix them properly. ""That's why the characteristics of the living armor have disappeared, but don't worry!"It's just that the appearance has changed, and the characteristics should be much more amazing! "That's something else, isn't it?Ein muttered in his heart and saw Chris, who could only smile bitterly next to him.Ahahaha... you can't leave it to future generations, can you?I had to agree to this from end to end."But, don't worry."Your Highness is my master, so I'm sure you won't be able to use your power except for him.I don't care if you use that sword in training. "No, there's a sharpness problem. "I don't have to worry about that anymore."I do have a blade, but no matter how many times I hit it, it won't cut anything! ""Isn't that a big problem," said Ein in astonishment.But there is a continuation to Mutton's story.Anything, if Ein had it, he would have slashed it."Try to slash it."That furnace is broken, and I need you to dismantle it! "Looks like you're doing a carpenter's job, but in fact, the furnace is very durable.Especially since Mutton's workshop has a state-of-the-art furnace made of isthmus, even the blacksmiths of the adventurer's sanctuary, Baltic, were a few of the delicacies that were being introduced.And Ein drew near unto the furnace, and shook the reborn Ishtar lightly, as he was spoken.When the crimson aura dwelt in the blade, the furnace that touched it was immediately severed.At first glance, I don't know the difference in sharpness, but I noticed that Ein's hand had increased a lot.It's like a different sharpness.I was so dull that I mistook it for something else.Isn't that right? Shearling folds her arms next to Ein as she looks at Ishtar."Amazing? The sharpness is too good for me, but I'm sure that Ishtar can be more or less relieved depending on your awareness."As before, please do it as adorable as ever. "It was like a living sword.I had a similar feeling before, but it is evolving further.... thank goodnessIf you can suppress your strength by your own will, you will never go beyond that.With Ein's familiar touch, I could put it in the sheath and carry it around my waist, and Ishtar sent me a mild fever.It seemed like he was happy to have returned to his master.A letter arrived at the castle around the same time.It came from the guild that had set foot in the castle, and Warren frowned when he saw the letter."What is the disturbing movement in the west of the continent?"The swallowtail demon in the same office listens to it.To the west, it's further into the Mississippi Valley? "Apparently so. The adventurers who escorted the researchers to investigate the golem felt even more magical and perhaps even better.Isn't it a monster? "Yes, it was an artificial --- for example, a magic wave reminiscent of a magic stone cannon."Warren, who has said so far, acknowledges the letter.It was sent to the guild and to the Mithrith Valley.First of all, I want information.We need to act quickly to get at least one clue."--Oh, my God."And Warren smiled bitterly.Continue to say it in the usual way."Really, this country is always a busy place"And now Marco."That's probably why it's a good country."Two old men who have supported Ishtarika since ancient times.They looked down at the busy castle town today, and smiled with a smile.
