ã€ŠThe Third Prince Want a Slow Liveã€‹


 CH 1

    Reincarnation in other world.

    It is something that everyone yearns for ,but it wasn''t until I actually reincarnated that I realized that there Is not such a wonderful development like books.

    My first live was that of a corporate slave working at a certain inn.

    Live-in from morning till night, working everyday to repay my parents'' debts.

    It is good to have one day off throughout the year, and the average sleep time is 3 hours.

    When I thought I would just have to serve he customer with a forced slime, for some reason, I helped cook in the kitchen, made the meal for the employees, served at the front desk, served food, pulled he futon, cleaned  up. And all the other chores I had left to do.

    Also, the location of the inn is in a mountains and is difficulty to get around without a car, but I was so cornered mentally and physically that I did not even think about escaping.

    It wouldn''t have been exagered to call myself a slave.

    I was made to remember the name of wild plants, flower and tree that I had no interest in ,and even though I wasn''t in my field, I was a mountaineering guide during the day and at night, I explained the starry sky through the telescope.

    Well of course, I died from overwork due to over doing it but...... and without any preparation, I was reincarnated into another world.

    I was born again in a certain poor family.

    Lucky, I had the talent to be a magician, and thanks to meeting someone whom I could call my swordsmanship master, I didn''t have any problems finding a job,but.... it went wrong when I ended become a hero because I carelessly defeated the demon king.

    I was to serve the country, and here again I was abused as valuable magician and a hero ,and I had no time to rest.

    In particular, it was hard because I was mercilessly abused after it was found out that I could use telepotation magic.

    The princess who was forced to marry me as a reward was also selfish and stubborn, and the peace of mind was far from me.

    If it was a beautiful girl, you should have been able to endure a little with this even if it was squeaking.

    But unfortunately ,fhe princess who became mu wife was a voluptuous princess like daruma , and a good looking princess was on the side.

    Let me just said that it was not my fault that my heart broke on fhe first night.

    Normally, if you like this, you will probably not care about the body shape or the appearance that much.

    As far as I concerned, there no expectation inside, and I don''t care if it is a good person.

    However, the money I earned that to my bloody effort was wasted like hot water, and I the end , I was contributing for another man, I can''t even laugh of it.

    In addition, ''''Be grateful that I am your wife!  ¡¯, any one  would hate it if someone said such a self-conscious line with a triumphant face.

    If your a tsundere, well you are cute but if you said that from the bottom of your heart, anyone would be dumbfounded.

    Well as expected, the child who was born didn''t look like me ,but I thought that the child was the only oasis.

    But the fact that hime-san who didn''t even hide her cheating, tried to make him hate me like she was brainwashing the child made me want to wrap my head around.

    Even if it is someone else child, it is formally my child and I wanted to cherish him , but it you hear him calling the cheating man father, and calling you old man, no one would tolerate it.

    I may be pathetic, but I thought deeply that I had no ally .

    And then perhaps because I had a terrible working and private life, my worry piled up and I passed away early in this world.

    "Goddess sama....give me a break..."

    That is why I am currently tearfully begging the goddess .

    After my consciousness faded and I became aware of my second death , I suddenly found myself in a mysterious space where I cried shamelessly to a beautiful woman who claim to be a goddess.

    "Uh ...OK, OK "

    Maybe she fell sorry for me ,but I was conforted ,for the first time I long whole, I felt like I was receiving someone''s kindness.

    She is not human, she is a goddess but ....

    "So, for now, I understand the situation.  Actually, the person in charge of your first reincarnation made a mistake, but this time I will provide you with a life where you can rest properly, so don''t worry!"

    She is a very kind goddess.

    I didn''t have the slightest bit of faith, but from today onwards, I secretly decided to believe in this person.

    Perhaps ro reassure me ,the goddess also have me  information about the reincarnation destination.

    The reincarnation destination is a little different from the previous world, but a similar world.

    It seems that I will be reincarnated as the third prince of a  Kingdom called Slaind.

    In addition, this reincarnation will be with the identity of the third prince who shouldn''t have been born so there seem to be no need to worry about taking over.

    She told me that it would have been hard to find a suitable body to move the soul if it was a take over .

    And because of my clumsiness, the goddess will allow me to use all the magic attributes just like in the previous world.

    Since it a reincarnation, the physical specs cannot be inherited, but there is no problem with magic ,skill and knowledge.

    She''s really kind and beautiful, I think I''ll fall in love with her.

    my first love is a goddess.

    It''s embarrassing to say that I didn''t have time for sweet  first love in Japan or in another world, although there was a lot of women around me. There was no such sweet atmosphere.

    That''s how I was slightly healed by the goddess and reincarnated a second time.

 CH 2

    A room  in the royal castle of Slaind.

    In my room, I, Sirius Slaind, the third prince of the Slaind Kingdom, wake up.

    It is around 8 o''clock in the morning.

    After getting off of the fluffy bed ,I changed clothes and checked my appearance in front of the mirror.

    Feminine baby face, with light brown smooth hair is my appearance in this world.

    Well, in terms of age, I am  still 4 years old, so it''s not impossible to have a baby  and feminine face.

    ¡­¡­However, I don¡¯t understand why my mother and sister keep wanting to me to wear dress.

    As I was thinking about that, I hear a knocking sound.

    "Excuse me Sirius-sama... are you already awake?"

    The one that entered is Elia , the maid who I taking care of me.

    She is a tall, sleek woman with beautiful gray hair, and is said to be 20 years old this year.

    When she saw that I am done preparing, she slimed with an impressed expression.

    "Good morning, Elia .  I wonder if anyone will be there for breakfast today?"

    Since my father who is the king and may mother who is the queen are busy, there are few opportunities to eat together.

    My two elder brothers also help my father his work, I have two to older sister ,but the younger also goes to school, so she is busy with various things.

    " Lesia sama is here today."

    "Ok ,thank you "

    Lesia is the younger sister who goes to school.

    She is currently 14 years olds an there''s 10 years age difference between us,but this sister is the closest in age.

    My brother are twins so they are both 18 and now married.

    They doesn''t have a child yet, but I''ll probably become an uncle soon.

    My older sister is now 16 and has got  married abroad.

    Well ,the fact that there is such a age difference between us means that I the third prince was no supposed to be born, but while my older brothers and sisters have beautiful blonde hair, I am the only one with brown hair, it is not rare, and my mother has beautiful chestnut hair, so it should not be a problem .

    While Thinking about that, I arrived in the dinner room with Elia and my older sister Lesia was already sitting at the table.

    "Good morning Sirius "

    "Good morning, Lesia-nee-sama.  Is it okay if  you don''t go to the student council today?"

    "Yeah, I wanted to have breakfast with Sirius for the first time in a while, so I threw it all together."

    It''s strange to have a student council in another world, but I guess it''s necessary for a school.

    Sister Lecia smiles happily at me, but I guess I''m cute because I am lovely as  younger brother .

    Or rather, I think that  I have basically  a pretty good family relationship.

    My brothers know that I can''t get involved in the succession to the throne, and that I have no intention of getting involved, so they usually saw  me as a cute  younger brother, and my sisters are kind.

    My father and mother are busy with work and we don''t have much time to see each other.but I guess that they care of me a the youngest .

    Somehow, at this point, I''m happy in a world that''s kinder than my first and second life.

    In my first life, my parents weren''t good, and I don''t even remember their faces.

    I sit on a chair that is a little high for me, and the maids bring me breakfast right away.

    Well, neither I nor Lesia-nee-sama eat much, so it''s just bread and salad.

    "Sirius, what are you planning to do today?"

    "I''ll be learning swordsmanship from today, so until then I''m taking it easy"

    "Yes, do your best and don¡¯t get hurt"

    "Thank you anesama "

    A wonderful world where you can relax.

    I got 8 hours of sleep this morning, and that alone makes me happy, but it''s wonderful that I don''t have any plans other than swordsmanship for today.

    Well, I''m only 4 years old, so I can''t do anything unreasonable, but I don''t dislike holding a sword, so it''s fine.

    To tell the truth, people don''t learn magic until they''re around 10 years old, but in my case, it doesn''t make much sense because I can already use all attributes to a level where can practice and live without any problems.

    But my family doesn''t know that.

    However I think that it is know that I can use magic.

    Before, when Sister Lesia was reading a book to me, I cut my finger with a piece of paper and used healing magic to heal it.

    Lesia-nee-sama was surprised by it ,but at the same time, I was praised tremendously.

    It was the first time I was praised for using magic, so I was a little embarrassed, but I was happy.

    For that reason, it can''t be helped since it''s known that I can at least use healing magic.

    By the way, there are seven attributes of magic: fire, water, wind, earth, light, darkness, and non-attribute, and healing magic is classified under the light attribute.

    The first four attributes are comparatively possessed by many people, but the latter three are quite rare, so my father and brother were quite surprised.

    I can actually use all of them, but... it''s better not to let them know about it.

    Magician are actually quite valuable, but if you know too much, various trouble will increase.

    Luckily, my father and brother don''t seem to be particularly concerned because they know I''m not interested in the throne from my laid-back lifestyle.

    Being hero is troublesome, but I hate kings  much more.

    At best, I''ll find a job that I can do in moderation, and this time I''ll get married normally and build a happy family.

 CH 3

    2 older brothers

    The first swordsmanship training resulted in me being praised by the instructor for my good sense.

    The basic stats of the body such as physical strength and muscle memory  were lost, but technical things seems to be ingrained to some extent.

    I really have nothing but gratitude to the goddess so much that I can''t lift my head.

    I think my faith has sprouted enough to pray to the goddess at least once a day.

    Well, I don''t go to church.

    In this country''s church, a male god is  worshiped, so there was no point in going there,and I felt like I would be receiving useless solicitations, so I refrained.

    I have forgotten to ask  the name of the goddess...it''s really painful.

    While thinking that, I was staring blankly at the sky in the garden when someone suddenly peered into me from above.

    When I looked, there was my brother, the second prince, Regulus, with a refreshing smile on his face.

    "Hi.  What are you doing, Sirius?"

    "Ah, Brother Regulus.  I am looking at the moving clouds ."

    "Cloud?"

    Brother Regulus casually sits next to me while tilting his head.

    "Indeed, there are many interesting  clouds today"

    "Niisama aren''t you working?"

    "Well, Raul is not good at paperwork, so I''m tired from sitting at my desk all the time."

    The first prince, Raul-niisama, excels in martial arts, and has the strong body and charisma of a soldier, and is supported by the aristocrats from the military, and the second prince, Regulus-niisama is intelligent, sharp-minded, with broad knowledge and a wide field of vision, he is supported by the literary aristocrats.

    The fact that the older brother is in charge of the military and the younger brother is in charge of the bureaucracy is the situation of the current battle for succession to the throne.

    "Isn''t Sirius interested in being a king?"

    " I am not "

    " why"

    "That kind of thing is better suited for older brothers. "

    I have no intention of sitting on the throne no matter what, and this time I''m determined to have a lovely wife and children and spend my time relaxing.

    "Oh, come to think of it, Sirius can use magic, right?"

    "Yes, just a little."

    "I''ve heard of light healing magic...which degree injuries can you heal?"

    Even if you''re dying and you''re heart had stopped, you can be revived immediately, even if your arm is blown off ,I can easily heal it.

    "I haven''t tried it, but I think it can heal minor injuries."

    "I see."

    Satisfied , older brother nodded and left after stroking my head.

    what was that?

    Well, let''s just look up at the sky again and relax.

    This kind of useless use of time is luxurious and extremely appealing.

    Yes I have been living too well.

    So this time, let''s have peace...

    "Yo!  Sirius!  "

    A rough rubbing on my head accompanied the loud voice.

    When I turned my gaze, wondering what was going on, there was Raul-niisama, the first prince, who was the exact opposite of the refreshing Regulus-niisama.

    " Raul-niisama, aren''t you working?"

    "Well, I heard from Regulus that Sirius is here."

    To be clear, the two brothers are not on bad terms.

    Rather, their brotherhood is good.

    However I fell like following after father is a different story, so they are more like rival .

    I heard from  themselves that they have decided that they will not hold grudges whether they win or lose, and if they lose, they will honestly support each other.

    Well, I don''t know about the nobles below, but Raul-niisama laughed at it  before.

    "Sirius, are you free now?"

    "Um..."

    "You''re just looking at the sky, aren''t you?"

    Without the  courage to refuse an invitation from my strong brother, I was reluctantly taken to the knights training grounds by Raul-niisama.

    "Ah!  Raou-sama !"

    When the members of the Knights saw Raul-niisama coming , all of them straightened their posture.

    "I want to train seriously for the first time in a while"

    Some people put a miserable face at those words.

    Well Raul-niisama is far stronger than normal human, so if he train seriously, there is probability of death.

    "Do not worry!  No matter what happens, Sirius will heal you !"

    ....I see ,so I was called here to for healing?

    Even so Raul-niisama.

    Don''t crush their hearts.

    It will seriously hard to heal if it is at that level.

    That''s how Raul-niisama''s serious training began, but it seemed more  appropriate to call it hell.

    Overwhelming prowess that made you wander between life and death over and over again and fierce attack that doesn''t  allow any distraction.

    Surely, if Raul-niisama was there in my previous life, I might not have been called a hero.

    " fine?"

    "Ah, thank you... Sirius-sama..."

    After using healing magic, many knights thanked me.

    Some of them said something like "saint-sama..." but I am not a woman,

    So I don''t want you to make a mistake there.

    My older brother was satisfied with seeing me use healing magic, but... no way, I  won''t be called every time from now on, right?

    I don''t want to see these knights piled up like corpses, but...well, I don''t have the courage to say no, so I can''t help it.

 CH 4

    chapter 04

    French fries.

    " I want to eat French fries "

    I suddenly felt like that.

    The last I ate it was probably when  I had it as  a meal during my first life.

    My co-worker bought it for me as a souvenir, perhaps because she felt sorry for me for not being able to go out.

    That''s why I went to the kitchen.

    I don''t want to disturb the kitchen work too much, but I have to make this kind of food when I crave for it.

    yes!  It''s a life where I  can have such a luxury!

    When I arrived at the kitchen, the staff who were preparing food were surprised to see me.

    In the midst of this, the head chef, Zephs, spoke to me with a smile.

    Despite it ,the head chef, Zephs, spoke to me with a smile.

    "Isn''t this Sirius-sama?  Not enough food?"

    It seems that Raul-niisama come to ask food from time to time ,so Zephs asked me if it is  the case.

    "Actually, I''d like to borrow the kitchen for a bit... I''ll try not to get in the way, so could you lend me the other side?"

    "Could it be that Sirius-sama is cooking?"

    "Yeah, I have something I want to make."

    "Then, let me help you. What materials do you need?"

    I''m sure it''s not appropriate for a royal child to stand alone in the kitchen, but I''m sorry for the trouble.

    well, but thinking about it.

    I''m a member of the royal family, so I can teach Zephs the recipe and ask him to make it for me.

    But it''s fun because I make it myself... Yeah, it is that part that is interesting.

    "Do we  have potatoes?"

    "yes there is "

    "Then ,let''s make it right away "

    It''s a little hard to peel potatoes, but I got the hang for it from cooking aids and cooking experience in my first life, so I can easily peel the skin off.

    Zefphs was very surprised at by it , but he was overwhelmingly faster, so I realized how amazing a professional is.

    Then, since I am going to make thick-sliced ??potatoes this time, I  cut the potatoes into roughly 6 equal parts to make them easier to eat.

    After that, it is soaked in water for about an hour, then coated with flour and fried in oil.

    As expected, it was too dangerous to fries it myself, so Zephs took over the role, but I had  decided to leave it to Zephs from the start because he would be able to fry it better.

    Then, if you put salt on the final french fries ...yes, it''s done.

    I forgot to make ketchup, so let''s make it next time.

    "thank you zephs"

    "Well thanks you"

    Zephs puts his hand on a potato.

    I can''t say it''s a knowledge from another world.

    I eat it too, but the hot potatoes and the perfect balance of salt... yeah, will get fat...

    but I want to eat.

    When you put one  in your mouth, you can''t help but want put another.

    "delicious¡­¡­"

    Looking at it, Zefus was about to pick up a second one, too, and had to withdraw is hand in a hurry.

    "You want to eat?"

    "No, it belongs to Sirius-sama."

    "Ok ,thank you for your help "

    "Umm...is it okay if I serve this to His Majesty and the Queen?  Of course, I won''t reveal the recipe."

    "OK.  Just be careful not to eat too much"

    The scary thing about potato chips is that you can''t stop eating them once you start.

    Potatoes, a vegetable, once exposed to oil , turn into meat...it''s terrifying.

    But it''s delicious, so I eat it.

    With this, if you create cola or other carbonated beverages that don''t exist in this world... then, it''ll be the strongest combo.

    In my previous life, I didn''t eat much and didn''t have to worry about getting fat, but in this life I have a lot of leeway, so I''m afraid it''s possible that I''ll gain weight.

    Well, I''m exercising, but if I keep producing fat things like this...it''s dangerous.

    And so, french fries were served for dinner that day, but I was surprised to find that they were very professional and that they served shredded potatoes normally.

    The French fries seemed to be quite popular with the family, and when I met them later, I was praised very well.

    When I think about it, in my first life it was my job to make meal , and  in my second life, I was never well received,

    so I''m happy that what I''ve made is appreciated.

 CH 5

    first errand.

    I''ve been in and out of the kitchen more and more because of the french fries.

    It''s fun to pass some recipes to Zephus and make them with him, but I wonder if it''s rare for the royal family to spend all their time in the kitchen, the occasional gaze doesn''t disappear easily.

    Meanwhile, I was trying to make a certain dessert.

    It is made by chilling ,which is something that can''t be done unless you use ice magic tool which is very expensive or use ice magic which has a very high degree of difficulty even among water magician.

    But when it come to royalty, ice magic tool are very common, so it is amazing.

    Well, I can use ice magic, so it doesn''t matter if I have it or not, but it''s better if I have it.

    "Well... Shall we go?"

    I am heading with the finished product to a large school in the royal capital.

    Magic, swordsmanship, from nobles to commoners, there are various departments, and it where I was heading.

    Why?

    After the case  of french fries, Sister Resia asked me, "Please let me eat first when it comes to dessert."

    I''m a younger brother who can''t ignore the request of my close sister Lesia, so I head to the academy with an escort.

    In addition to Elia, I brought Elia husband Rudolph along with several guards....I felt that it will be hard for me to openly go out alone as the youngest member of the royal family.

    Next time, I plan to go around the outside with transfer magic by myself, but I have to be careful not to find out.

    While thinking about it ,I noticed that I arrived at the school.

    I thought I was used to be the center of attention in my previous life as a hero, but after all, if you''ve my personality, you''re far from being used to it.

    While I admiring the seize of the school, once I entered the luxurious building for aristocrats ,the meaning of the gazes changed.

    Even the third prince, the youngest, who doesn''t get much attention, when it comes to the children of nobles, many people seem to know his face ,and asked "why is the third prince here? " rather than "Why is a small child here?".

    In the midst of such attention, I asked the teacher to tell me a classroom where Sister Lesia was, and I arrived without interruption.

    In the classroom, I could see Lesia-nee-sama talking to her friend in a friendly manner, but when her gaze fell on me, she happily stood up and hugged me.

    "Sirius!  what happened?"

    "Sister seems to be busy....am I troubling you?"

    "No, not at all.  so what happened?"

    "This has to be eaten quickly...so I am here "

    That''s how I handed over everyone''s favorite pudding.

    It is easy to make ,but I be in my first or second life, I have only taste it enough to count in one hand.

    I''ve made dozens of times in my first life, but... well, I didn''t have enough appetite to eat it, so I  tried to make it like this.

    "Wow...!  It''s kind of cute. is  this  a sweet?"

    "yes, it''s a sweet called pudding"

    My sister''s friends and classmates were looking at me with desire when they heard about sweets, but... unfortunately, I only brought my sister''s share.

    "Pudding huh... it shaking"

    My sister  shake the pudding in the container while sliming.

    As a younger brother, I can''t ignore the sight of several noble sons admiring that smile.

    Well, my sister is cute, and she''s a princess, so they can''t help but be curious, but if it was me, I might just give up because it''s too high.

    If I really fall in love, I don''t know, but if I''m just a little interest, I might choose a leisurely life.

    Yeah maybe it best to just be sister''s younger brother after all.

    "Do you have your share, Sirius?"

    "No, I''ve only brought enough for my sister to eat."

    "Well then, I''ll share some of mine, so let''s eat together"

    Said My sister while taking  my hand to  guides me to a  seat.

    It is lunch break time, so it seems that there will be no problem with it  .

    After greeting me, Lesia anesama''s friends asked me about the  sweets, but they were  very surprised when I answered that they were handmade.

    Well, a 4-year-old prince making sweets is just unrealistic.

    "then let''s eat"

    "Then after you sister "

    "Ok?  then i''ll start "

    After saying that, she scooped some pudding with a spoon and elegantly carried it to her mouth.

    Then, my sister opened her eyes wide in surprise and smiled like she was melting.

    "Sweet and delicious..."

    Instinctively, I make a fist pose, but I love my family in this life because they give me such a happy reaction.

    In my first life, even if I made food, no one would appreciate it as it was a natural job, If they didn''t like it even a little, they would throw it in the garbage can  right in  front of me, so I didn''t really enjoy making it.

    In my second life, I only cooked  my own portion, and that time, I made it with an emphasis on nutrition, so I didn''t have much leeway.

    Yeah, this world is the best.

    "Look, try eating too, Sirius "

    "yes, sister"

    That''s fine, but what about  them eating in public?

    Well ,it is a gentle older sister taking care of her younger brother, and it is a plus for my older sister, so I will accept it.

    The pudding that my sister made me eat was cold and moderately sweet.

    Yeah ,it is well made.

    From now on, Zephs will make it, and  I''m sure there  will be even more delicious ones, so I''m looking forward to it.

    "Umm  ,Lesia sama, Sirius sama .can share it with me too?"

    "Um, me too!  "

    "Me too!"

    After one person spoke, the others followed one  after another.

    While thinking that it might be common in any world for girls to have an eye for sweets, I was impressed to see that Sister Lesia was able convinced everyone by saying that she would serve it at the next tea party.

    But I understand that rather than splitting the rest among several people, it would be more appropriate this way.

    It was my mistake to only think about making my sister happy  without thinking about how everyone  would react when I presented the new sweets in front of them, but I''m happy that I have relatives who follow me like this.

    Despite having experienced life twice, my  lack of life experience may be the  harmful effect of being tied to one place all the time.

    Then later, the pudding served at my sister''s tea party was very popular with her classmates.

    It seems that some people asked me to sell the recipe, but my sister kindly refused.

    Well I don''t mind selling it personally, but it seems to be good things for the royalty to have a lot of Good cards in hand .

 CH 6

    Mother

    (You can now support me and read ahead on patreon.com/Styvetasse .)

    Today, I am enjoying a leisurely cup of tea with my mother.

    My mother is as busy as my father, but since she sometimes invites her children to enjoy tea like this, I guess she cares about her  family.

    A beautiful woman with well styled long  chestnut hair ,from the first sight it fell like your are looking at a fairy tale princess .

    "Sirius, how is today''s tea?"

    "It is delicious, mother"

    "Fufu, I got some good tea leaves. Keep it secret from Lesia and the others ok?"

    She has a mischievous smile on her face, but I''m convinced that it is this kind of thing that must have captivated my  father.

    The idea of ??polygamy is strong in this world.

    Commoners are usually monogamous for economic reasons, but aristocrats and royalty are expected to take multiple wives to keep their households alive and to support them as much as possible.

    Of course, there are family where women are the family head, but in that case polygamy is unlikely.

    I wouldn''t say that it doesn''t exist at all, but rather than supporting multiple husbands, there is the belief that it is more meaningful for a man to do physical work, and in that case it is overwhelmingly easier to just hire them.

    In the first place, a woman who could become the head of a noble family does not like men that much, and there are many of them who are rather workaholic, so they are people who devote themselves to work after having children.

    Well, the right person in the right place might fit it much more.

    And, as a member of the royal family, my father the king should normally have taken a concubine, but he stubbornly asserted that he would not marry anyone other than my mother, and he did so.

    Well since they had five children, including myself, there are not many complaints from people around us ,but my brothers cannot be like that, so they have both legal wife and concubine.

    Harem huh...it''s amazing.

    It seems like a distant story

    For me, who is only 4 years old, but I''ve been told several times that it''s better for me to decide on a fianc¨¦e sooner rather than later.

    Is it a line to say to a 4-year-old child?  I was wondering, but it seems that it would be best  to choose from a family other than those in the  factions supporting my two older brothers.

    Well, this is an advice from  Regulus-niisama .

    If I chose from one of the faction, it will troublesome if the nobles think that I am supporting that side ,but I am living a more enjoyable life than my previous life,so I can just ignore it .

    Well, as for why I said this, it was largely due to what my mother said after this.

    "Sirius should also choose a fianc¨¦ on his 5th birthday~"

    "Why so soon "

    "I don''t want to hand over my cute son to another woman just yet , but Sirius will surely be cornered after that."

    Cornered?

    I wondered what the additional value of the youngest son, the third prince, was, but I knew the answer right away.

    Apparently, there was a dinner party where the recipes I gave to Zephs because I wanted to eat them were served, and it seems that I was known as the inventor of these recipes.

    I see, I can make a new dish, which seem to be a valuable business opportunity.

    I don''t like it at all.

    If marry such a person''s daughter, there is a high I will be used just like I was used in my previous life.

    "I''d like to decide on a legal wife from among the daughters I''ll invite when celebrating my 5th birthday."

    As a member of the royal family, I was also told that I have to marry ay least two women.

    Yeah!  It''s a harem!

    ¡­¡­I can''t be happy with the current situation.

    After all ,if I am to marry a young who approaches  this timing ,it could lead it could lead to a development similar to that of my previous life where I was a hero.....Well, this time I''m in a higher position, so it won''t be that bad, but about the trauma? it won''t go away easily.

    "Before that, I have to go to the church to be baptized."

    In this country, at the age of 5 ,the priest will perform a baptism ceremony at the church.

    The baptism itself takes only a few minutes, but after that, they have to pray to God in a pure white room in the back, but it seems that the time of the prayer is different for everyone.

    If you are blessed by God, it will take some time, but if not, you can pray and leave immediately.

    If possible, I''d like to thank the goddess, but... as expected, I wonder if I''ll be able to meet her.

    For the time being, l will offer my prayers earnestly.

    "Come to think of it, Sirius also came up with this sweet, right?"

    "Yes, do you like it?"

    "Of course it''s very delicious"

    Today''s snack is a Montblanc cake that I prepared.

    Whipped cream doesn''t exist here ,but it''s ingredients does, so I ordered the missing ingredients and made it, and I think it turned out pretty well.

    The fact that my mother is eating it  with a slime, make me relieved.

    I had my family try a normal fresh cream cake before, but my mother seems to prefer this one.

    I also like cheesecake, so I understand how she feel.

    Cheesecake, huh ? Maybe I should make pizza next.

    If I remember correctly I think that cheese is also made somewhere in the countryside if I remember correctly.

    Even so, I''m always making fat things, but it''s strange that no one in my family looks fat.

    I''m fine too, but I''m kinda worried.

    I''m exercising in swordsmanship practice, so maybe is it okay?

    By the way, it seems that my mother is planning to open a restaurant that serves recipes that I came up with ( stole  from my previous life) .

    It seems that I will receive money as a

    recipe inventor fee, but that amount is  already  outrageous, so it seems there will be no need to find a job later... well I think I will still have to work somehow.

    Like that, the once in while tea time with my mother  passed peacefully.

 CH 7

    Chapter 07: pictures book

    "Hmmm...all of them are not good after all..."

    I regularly read well written books in my study, but sometimes I want want pictures book so I tried looking for them but all of them had realistic pictures and were not at all cute.

    It can''t be helped that there are no comics.

    Well, in the first place, I didn''t have much time to read manga in my first life, and even when I did, , I only skimmed through comics in genres I didn''t like so I could talk to customers.

    However, as for pictures book, I had to read it to small child, so I did read it regularly.

    That''s why I feel uncomfortable with these realistic paintings.

    "yeah...let''s try it"

    I decided to do whatever I want to do in this world, so I decided to move to action immediately.

    "Elia, paper or something to write with please"

    "Yes "

    I sat on the desk in the study and asked the maid Elia to prepare the tools.

    First of all, let''s decide the theme ... a cute picture book for children is a most do .

    In that case, it would be better to modify animals that everyone knows and make them cute.

    Well then, let''s make it a book about cats and dogs .

    Wolves and bears are more recognizable in this world, but they have the image of being dangerous animals, so even if they are not as well known , they have to be cute and safe animals.

    That''s how I started making picture books with cats and dogs as the main characters.

    Elia who was behind me seemed to be a little surprised by the cute cats and dogs that I drew .

    The content is a heartwarming story about Nyanta the cat and Wanjiro the dog.

    Colored pencils are rare, so I draw a draft and add color.

    After a few hours of concentration... I''ve completed the masterpiece "Cat and Dog Story".

    "Elia, what do you think?"

    "That''s a lovely picture. I have never seen a picture book with such cute pictures."

    Elia isn''t good at flattering, so I guess she is sincere.

    First, I asked Area to read it, and she seemed to quite like it , so I headed to Resia-nee-sama''s room to have the next person read it.

    "yeah? Hi Sirius"

    ¡­¡­On the way, I ran into Regulus-niisama.

    "Greeting brother "

    "What is the thing in your hands "

    "I tried to make a picture book"

    "picture book? can I take a look? ¡±

    "Yes "

    Actually, among my family, I want Lesia-nee-sama to read it first ,but since I can''t refuse my brother request, I decided to ask his opinion.

    "Heh, you''re good at it. And what a cute picture"

    So Regulus-niisama read it out and said with a smile when he finished reading it.

    "Nice, no prejudice and good quality"

    "Thank you "

    "Are you going to sell this?"

    "Hmm, what do you think? I just made it because I wanted to read a picture book with cute pictures."

    "I see, but if you show it to mother, I think you''ll definitely sell it, right?"

    "Right "

    I thought I didn''t have a sense of drawing, but this time I found out that I was pretty good at drawing deformed characters.

    Well, I don''t know if it will sell, but...

    First, I had Lesia-nee-sama read it after Regulus-niisama, and it was also quite well received.

    Sister Lesia, who loves cute things, seemed to like this book very much, so I decided to give the original to her as it was, but soon my mother was told about it, and she really commercialized it.

    As the assets of the royal family increased, my father happily praised my picture book, but... somehow, I''m a little scared that I can do what I want to do and in same time make money easily.

    I believe in Goddess, but I feel a little uneasy because of my circumstances so far.

    Even so, I didn''t expect to become a picture book author in another world... Should I consider a sequel?

    However I don''t want be rushed so they will have to wait patiently.

    I made this promise with my mother, since I don''t want to go back to being a company slave.

    I will draw What I want and when I want to draw.

    it will be the same with cooking.

    I will make what I want to eat and when I want to eat.

    What a luxurious way to spend your times...Eight hours of sleep in a fluffy bed is a luxury, and a life where you can relax and do what you like, it is really the best.

    However, I have to think about the future goal.

    My Life is meaningful as of now, but I wonder if I''d be happy to have a leisurely life with a lovely wife and kids.

    .....Please, I earnestly hope that there will be no such thing as the time in my previous life as a hero.

 CH 8

    For the members of the royal family, there are many things to learn, but for the 4-year-old third prince, the standards required are not that high compared to older brothers and sisters.

    In order for me to have more options for my future, I need a kind of education that is befitting of the third prince, but for me, who originally experienced two lives, it''s not that difficult.

    The letters are different, but if you can speak the language properly, it''s easy to remember.

    I spend my free time relaxing, cooking what I want to eat, and reading books, but I feel that something is missing.

    I was wondering what it was all about... and then I suddenly realized that There aren''t many kinds of entertainment in this world.

    There is chess.

    However, other than that, there are almost no such things as playing cards, old-fashioned board games, etc.

    Even chess seems to be popularized as a game for the nobility, so common people don''t play it.

    Naturally, there is nothing I can do about video games, but it wouldn''t be strange if there were cards around... I thought, but apparently it seems that people of this world are more interested in acquiring knowledge and power than entertainment.

    The results is that there weren''t any signs of development in entertainment, perhaps from the state of our predecessors.

    Everyone is so serious...but I think that it cannot be like that anymore, so I want to change it.

    Chess is fun, but I want to do something else!

    That''s why I decided to make it.

    If you were to ask me if I had that kind of knowledge because I was a company slave, my first life experience would speak for itself.

    Naturally, there are many people with children and the elderly visiting the inn .

    They grabbed me and made me play with them to pass the time, so while I was forced to work for them, I learned a lot of games.

    At that time, I was doing it for work and it was to entertain guests, so it was natural to lose, but anyway, I want to experience whether I can win or lose with my ability.

    That''s why the first thing I''m going to make is a classic among classics, cards.

    I was a little lost as to what to do with the design, but decided to use the cat Nyanta and dog Wanjiro from the picture book.

    As for picture books, serialized books were sold and semmed to be quite popular.

    I tried hide the fact that I''m the author, but I''m a member of the royal family, I fell that the people who come in and out of the castle seem to know that I''m the one.

    Well, they said they were expecting a sequel.

    Drawing is probably a bit further down the road, so now I''m concentrating on making playing cards.

    For the time being, the pattern on the back will be a cute illustration of the two animals... and it''s completed just by copying the original it.

    After that, I decided on spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds, and for the Jack , Queen, and King designs... I can''t just use the same thing, so I''ll let Nyanta and Wanjiro play an active role.

    Queen is a girl version of Nyanta that I Draw to look like a queen....it feels like a stretch, so I''ll make it like a princess.

    Jack is Wanjiro''s knight version, and King is Wanjiro with a crown....let''s use a bad looking Nyanta as the Joker card.

    Once the pattern and design are decided, after that, I just have to copy it properly and ... completed

    "Huh? Sirius, what are you doing?"

    When I was checking the completion of the completed deck of cards, Lesia-nee-sama entered the room.

    For some reason, Regulus-niisama is also behind me... what is going on ?

    "I anm checking the cards "

    "Cards?"

    "Maybe you made something again "

    I nodded to Regulus-niisama''s words and briefly explained about cards game.

    "Well ,let''s play it now "

    "I agree "

    "That...aren''t you working brother?"

    "Only once. Besides, I had some business with Sirius."

    So, the three of us tried the most classic old maid, but the poker face of the two was too strong, so I was thoroughly defeated.

    In the end, beside that, we tried various other games, seven-row, poker, and millionaire, but I couldn''t beat them in any of them.

    Later, when I played with Raul-niisama, I managed to avoid to always lose , but everyone was too strong, and me the developer ended up being the weakest.

    Especially in poker, everyone lies with a straight face, and I couldn''t see through it...

    The card was discovered and commercialized by my mother and it spread quickly so I received a large somme of money again ...but is it okay for a 4-year-old to receive such a large amount of money?

    Well, it''s useful for my family, and it''s good that I get some pocket money, but now it is my mother who is taking care of all those things, but if I have to leave home one day, what will happen... it difficult for one person to do these things, so I honestly think that I would have to secure talented people.

    My current exclusive maid, Elia, might quit being my maid when she has a child, and if I leave home, it''s doubtful that there will be someone who will follow me.

    (Tn: I am starting to really doubt the intelligence of our mc)

    Well, in my case, it looks like I''ll either have to help my brothers or get a random title and live, but I still want someone I can rely on.

 CH 9

    Chapter 09: father request

    "I''m sorry for calling you so suddenly, Sirius."

    "No, father"

    Today was a leisurely day, and while I was thinking about various things, I was summoned and taken to the office of his Majesty the king of this country, my father.

    Did I do something wrong?

    When I was thinking about that, my father put down the documents and said while sliming.

    "Actually, I called you to inspect the territory that I will give you in the future."

    The territory that will be given to me... In other words, in the future I will receive a peerage and a land to govern.

    "If possible, it should be in a small place, but..."

    "Don''t worry, that''s the initial plan. And if necessary, part of the direct control territory will be add to it"

    Eh, no need. I don''t really need.

    I can''t say anything, and if it''s not necessary, that will not happen.

    "Understand "

    "It is already your in paper ,but I can''t leave it to you right away, so if you notice something or want to do something, you should tell the local governor."

    Is it okay to trow my weight around?

    According to what I heard, the say territory seems to be a relatively small territory a little away from the royal capital.

    Being a Lord seems to be troublesome, but I think it will be a little bit easier if there is someone capable as an assistant.

    I don''t have any contacts for that right now, but...should I talk to Regulus-niisama?

    "Lesia also got engaged and is only waiting to graduate. I think I''ll miss you when you all grow up"

    That''s right, Sister Lesia finally got engaged the other day.

    The other party seems to be the heir to a certain Marquis family.

    I''m a siscon, but my sister seems happy so I won''t bother her.

    Or rather, I don''t want to do something uncouth like interfering with my family happiness.

    "Speaking of which, Sirius"

    "Yes "

    "Regarding your engagement..."

    Have you decided on your own?

    When I was thinking that, my father said apologetically.

    "It hadn''t been decided yet. You have your 5th birthday party coming up soon, so let me know if there''s anyone you''re interested in at that time."

    A royal birthday party is a big party held every five birthday .

    It''s been four and a half years since I was reincarnated in this world.

    I''ll be 5 years old soon, and if there''s a good girl even then.....Well it''s hard to choose.

    Before that, there will be a baptism, but I wonder if be able to meet the goddess at that time... since the goddess worshiped in this country''s church is not the same.

    Even if it''s out her jurisdiction, let''s just pray.

    "Something else, Sirius. Are you interested in the throne?"

    It is a test.

    Of course the answer is evident.

    "Not at all"

    " you answered quickly "

    "It''s too much for me. I''m sure that Raul-niisama or Regulus-niisama is more suitable."

    "If you say so "

    Even being a hero was painful, so being a king is too much for me.

    Well, even if I know that there are no plans to have me succeed to the throne at the time of granting the territory, I have to show my intention clearly.

    "Did father decide who would be king?"

    "I''m still deliberating. But I will have to decide soon"

    "I''m sure this country will be fine no matter who becomes king."

    "I agree, I am proud of my son. Of course, you too, Siriu."

    Proud son huh....it seems to be the first time he said this.

    Just as I was thinking about this, my father stood up and approached me, stroked my head with his big hand and smiled.

    "It''s going to be difficult, but I''m looking forward to it."

    It''s strange, was my father such a dependable person?

    In my first life, I was sold by my parents in the first place and there was almost no contact, and the second life, we were separated by death.

    Yeah, when I think about it, having a family in this world is really amazing.

    "Don''t overwork it, Father"

    "I''m going to do my best until I see my grandson''s face"

    Well, it seems that my older sister is pregnant right now, and one of my brothers will be crowned as soon as he see the face of his grandchildren

    But I will not say it out loud.

    If Lesia-nee-sama graduates and gets married, I feel like she can also do it soon, and since I''m the youngest, it will be probably a little later.

    Before that, I should look for a fianc¨¦...if I don''t have a territory, I will not have to rush to find a fianc¨¦, but if I''m going to become a noble with a territory, I''ll have to get engaged soon.

    Well, I''m treated better than in my previous life as a hero, and this time I''m going to have a cute wife!

    ¡­¡­When I thought that, it almost reminds me of that nightmare.

    I can''t forget that tragedy that broke my heart on the first night.

    Haa...I wonder if there''s a beautiful girl somewhere who can heal me...maybe it what I''m hoping for.

    Well, even if she''s not a beautiful girl, it''s fine if she has a good heart.

    But in terms of mental age, I''m likely to be treated like a lolicon no matter who I''m with... Well, even so, I don''t mind if she''s a girl with a beautiful heart!

    I want someone that would wipe away that nightmare... I left the office while wishing it in my heart.

 CH 10

    The next day, I immediately headed to my future territory by carriage.

    Expecting a moderately rural location,

    I arrived at a town that was more developed than I expected.

    There are security guards, so the security doesn''t seem to be bad.

    Lively and full of shops.

    Hmmm, I see

    Compared to the royal capital, it''s a rural area, but it seems like a city where is easy to live in .

    When my carriage passes by, all eyes gathered on us , but well, it''s a carriage with the crest of the royal family, so it''s only natural.

    "Welcome, Your Highness Sirius. I am Serge, the magistrate in charge of the city of Westal."

    When I arriveed at the lord''s mansion, I was greeted by a magistrate dressed like an elderly butler.

    How should I put it... In terms of atmosphere, it seems that he should be called Sebastian, but it just that he is not a butler but a magistrate.

    " I am Sirius Slaind"

    "I have been entrusted by His Majesty to assist His Highness. please order anything"

    "Hmmm, can I see the town for a while? After that, I might want you to show me various documents."

    "Understand. I will arrange it immediately"

    First of all, I want to see the state of the city directly.

    That''s what I thought before coming here , but in fact, I saw few skewers at a stall on the way, and they looked delicious, so I thought I''d try eating while walking.

    When I walk around the city with several escorts, I get a lot of attention as if they that I was in the carriage earlier.

    Well, it can''t be helped.

    "Sister, please give me a skewer"

    "Oh, such a flattering word , Your Highness. here you are"

    I said that to the lady at the skewer shop and got her to serve me, but...I wonder what kind of meat this is.

    Very soft and delicious.

    I got it from the conversation just now, but it seems that they knew that a prince was coming today.

    At the stalls I went to, there were a lot of people who spoke like they knew I was a prince.

    Well, as a 4-year-old, my stomach isn''t that big, so the eating tour soon ended and turned into sightseeing.

    I received some curious gazes, but I didn''t feel any malicious gazes.

    Well, no one will picks a fights with royalty.

    Hee?

    When I was walking while thinking about such things, I saw a woman bowing her head and receive something at the store I was going

    She bowed her head vigorously seems to be desperately begging.

    What is it... I was curious, and when I asked the person at the store where the woman was, I immediately found out the reason.

    "oh that''s an orphanage"

    Apparently, they''re coming to pick up what can barely be eaten, such as vegetable scraps, for the children at the orphanage.

    An orphanage huh?

    I was curious, so I went back to the lord''s mansion to check with Serge.

    Then...

    "The orphanage? They should have arranged for people there, but..."

    I also checked the document, the orphanage is properly receiving money, and it seems that people are also sent as administrators.

    I have a bad feeling...

    With that in mind, I headed to the orphanage on that same day, but there was a splendid building, and there was also a caretaker.

    "Oh , Your Highness. Please come in "

    A well-built middle-aged man with a vaguely unpleasant laugh.

    When I looked inside, several children greeted me.

    However, it was somehow suspicious, so once I left the orphanage, I asked a nearby resident.

    And then a surprising fact comes to light.

    Surprisingly, that place is not an orphanage, but the true orphanage is else where.

    It seems to be a well-known story among the residents, but the magistrate of this territory doesn''t personally inspect it, and only use the documents as a reference.

    So, the manager can do whatever he wants.

    In addition to the orphanage, there are also cases of unfair salary fraud of the members in the security team.

    This orphanage was also prepared as a dummy, and it seems that the children inside are just the real children of the manager.

    Hee, hee, Serge...

    His value dropped in my mind.

    It seems that the residents also wanted to do something about it, so they went to petition several times, but they only received a reply saying that they will investigate it , and that was the end of it.

    yeah, he''s fired.

    Certainly, there was a plan to relocate the orphanage a long time ago, and it should have been relocated to this place.

    And according to the documents , the site of the orphanage before it was relocated should have been changed to the manager''s private property.

    That place has relatively good traffic, and I''ve already confirmed that there''s already a bar that adventurers can easily go to at night, so they probably forced them to move somewhere else.

    Then...

    I take out a map and find a place that seems to fit the criteria.

    Fortunately, thanks to the stupid manager who didn''t even tried to hide the evidence, I found out that there was a super old property in the corner of the town that was unnaturally purchased, and decided to go there.

    Even so , according to the current situation, and being sent here, did my father meant to...?

    Well even if he find something suspicious, he can''t take care of it due to his current schedule ,so he probably send me here with the intention of solving it, but ...I see it seems it is quite difficult to trust anyone for something like this, so he left it to me.

    With that in mind, I headed towards my destination, and there was a run-down building that was about to collapse, and the woman from earlier was talking to an elderly woman at the entrance.

    "I''m sorry, I can only collect this much today..."

    "I troubled you "

    The amount of vegetable scraps in her hand is insignificant.

    I was able to confirm about 20 children in the building with detection magic.

    So it not enough to cover that number.

    It seems that, for the time being, I have to get the job done properly before I fire Serge.

    For now, I''ll ask the escort knight to go buy food.

    Elia and her husband, Rudolf, will remain as escorts, and the others will go out to buy food, while I talk to those women.

    "Can I have a little of your time?"

    Surprised by the voice, the two women turned to me and bowed hurriedly as if they knew who I was.

    "Oh, don''t worry. Besides, is this the real orphanage?"

    The elderly woman nodded in fear when she heard that.

    "Good then. May I speak to you for a moment?"

    With that, I was guided inside.

    The inside was also quite shabby, and it didn''t feel like it could withstand the wind and rain.

    I sat onthe chair I was guided to, but it''s pretty dangerous that it creaks even with the weight of a child.

    "So what kind of...?"

    I decided to introduce myself to a woman who seemed worried that they might be kicked out.

    "I am Sirius Slaind, the third prince of the Slaind Kingdom. I''m supposed to get this territory in the future"

    "I''m the director, my name is Rita."

    "I''m Meyrin"

    The old woman with reddish brown hair is Rita, the current director of the orphanage, and the young woman with green hair who was collecting vegetable scraps earlier is Meyrin.

    These two are the only adults.

    I see, these two are the support of this orphanage.

    "First of all, I would like to clear up some misunderstandings. I''m not going to harm you But first, I want you to tell me the truth about this situation."

    They were puzzled by such words from a 4-year-old child, but the two told me everything honestly.

    Before the current manager, the orphanage used to receive money.

    However, after he became the new manager, they were suddenly kicked out of the previous orphanage ,and was forced to move to this run-down house.

    And, without any subsidies, the two of them managed to support the children in poverty until today, but it seems that their limit is approaching.

    "The residents are kind, but they don''t have much themselves, and it''s difficult for us to take care of them while working..."

    When I looked at the children peeking at me, they were all skinny.

    Unforgivable.

    I can''t stand someone who treats children like this.

    "For the time being, I understood. And... well, you''ve done your best until today. You can entrust the rest to me "

    The Two of them seemed a little cautious when they heard it.

    Well, even though he''s a prince, he can''t certainly be trusted.

    With that in mind, I stepped in the uselessly large garden and used earth magic to instantly construct a building twice as large as the rags.

    (Tn :your are showing too much for someone one who wants an easy going life)

    It''s an earthen house made with magic power, so it'' will not be bad as a temporary house.

    "Is this... magic...? ¡±

    "Amazing! It is a house !"

    In contrast to the two women who were surprised, the children were excited at the sudden phenomenon.

    and¡­¡­

    "Sirius-sama. this is¡­¡­"

    Elia and Rudolph were also surprised.

    Well, neither of them know that I can use magic like this.

    "Keep this a secret"

    When I asked this to everyone present, they nodded.

    Well, people probably won''t believe if they were told about such a feat as to make a building with earth magic, so why would they go around saying it?

    "For the time being, stay here until the new orphanage is built.¡±

    ¡°Um, will it collapse ¡­?¡±

    "If a dragon comes, will it break?"

    I hit it with a bang, but my hand hurts more.

    After a while, the escorts bought food, so after guiding everyone to the temporary house, me, Elia, the director, and Meirin-san started cooking.

    The two were still cautious at first, but this time, they began to believe a little more.

    After that, the children ate their fill of the warm rice for the first time in a while, and then went to their rooms and slept soundly.

    There wasn''t even a blanket, so I''ll have to procure that later...

    "Umm... Your Highness Sirius."

    "Hmm? What is it?"

    ¡°Thank you very much.

    "Well, it''s my responsibility, so don''t worry about it."

    I didn''t investigate it earlier because I thought it would be troublesome to manage the territory, and if I did, I could have taken action a little earlier.

    For the time being, I have to prepare food, clothing, and shelter for the children... I will need to find a house later, but I have to prepare clothes and food first.

    Haa... I can''t believe I''ve been working like this so soon after coming here... well, I can''t do anything about it.

    children are innocent.

    It''s not the line for a 4-year-old child, but well, it would be helpful if you could ignore that.

    Thus, at this age, I became involved in the territory.

    Good thing, once this is over, a slow life will be waiting for me.

 CH 11

    I''m not going to say many things about the territory.

    To put it bluntly, I''ll just say that if you do something that affect negatively women, children, and good people, you can go to hell.

    That''s how , while I was messing around with the territory, I turned 5 in no time.

    As expected of a church, it should have cost quite a lot of money... While I was thinking that, the baptism of the priest who always has a slime on his face quickly ended, and I entered the pure white room .

    It''s really a pure white space--I''m getting a little anxious, but there''s something that looks like an altar, and I offer my prayers to it.

    Goddess-sama, Goddess-sama.

    Thanks to you, I am spending my days leisurely.

    thank you very much.

    "No no, I''m glad I was helpful"

    Phew! ?

    what! ? I can''t believe my hear just now...

    "That''s right, it''s been a while. Please wait a moment... Yes, it''s okay to open your eyes now"

    When I opened my eyes after hearing that, the goddess who had reincarnated me was standing in front of me with a smile on her face.

    "Goddess¡­¡­"

    "Hello, Sirius. You seem to be doing well."

    "I never thought I''d see you...I''m so happy to meet you."

    "I''m on good terms with the gods here, so I came to see you specially."

    Saying that, the goddess turned her gaze towards a beautiful cross dressed woman who was elegantly drinking tea.

    Huh... a goddess?

    "Ah, that person is the god worshiped in your country. She look like a male god, but she just a weirdo who likes to cross dress ."

    "Hey dear. So, is that your favorite person?"

    It''s a bit rough, but I thought she was cool with her sharp eagle-like glint in the eyes.

    When she stared at me, the god made a satisfied expression, saying, "I see."

    "Interesting, such a beautiful soul even after being reincarnated twice"

    soul?

    It seems that such a thing should long been dirty, but...

    "idiot. What are thinking about?"

    Mind reading.

    Oh my God, is it that easy?

    "It''s only natural. Besides, what you see as dirty and not dirty is a trivial thing from God''s point of view"

    Hmm, I see.

    "You don''t recognize this face. Well, okay. Even so, I am interested in men even though I am like this "

    Ehh? Goddess-sama could be...

    "Ah... well, that''s what it is."

    I see, people have their own hobbies, and I don''t really care.

    Well not a person but a goddess.

    "That is all? So you only care about this guy?"

    Well, she''s probably my first love.

    " what''s so good about this stupid girl? It''s true that she has huge breasts and a loli face, but from your point of view she''s an old hag, right?"

    No, no, I care only about her inner quality... I feel like I''ve been talking only from my mind since a while ago...

    "Oops, sorry. Well, let''s finish it quickly"

    Ehh? What are you going to do?

    "I''m just giving you a blessing. I didn''t have any motivation at first because this guy pestered me , but... it'' was interesting to talk with you , so I''ll do it properly."

    divine blessing.... what is the blessing of Goddess-sama?

    "I was thinking of doing it before your reincarnation. However her blessing might be more useful than mine in this world "

    "Aren''t you the primordial creator?"

    "Yes but your the space time god and the creator god of Aztecal "

    ¡­¡­Um, are you two creator gods?

    "Yes, I am the creator of all worlds, but technically speaking it is a little different. It is l difficult to explain. So you can just see her as the creator of the world your in now"

    ¡­¡­Can I ask you a question?

    "Yes go on "

    ¡­¡­What is the name of Goddess-sama.

    "Just my name?"

    yes, that''s all i want to know.

    "I have many names. But you can call me----"

    Thanks, I remember it, and will never forget it.

    "However, you can''t say my name in public, understand? because it affects the world"

    "Well, if it''s over, it is time to end this "

    And so, on that day, I received blessings from God.

    This is what I heard later, but it seems that the phenomenon of talking to God is impossible in the first place, and even if it is, it seems that light will appear in front of the person praying as a proof of blessing.

    I see, I was given a special treatment.

    Well, I''ve memorized the goddess'' name, and from now on it''ll be more easy to pray in my heart.

    I was told it was useless, and I can''t spread the word about the goddess, but I''m happy that I can always remember my benefactor.

    Even so, I''ve learned a lot of things I shouldn''t know... Especially with the priests of the church, I can''t say that God is a goddess, not a male god, and if I say that I receive blessings from the person herself, I will definitel t be a hassle.

    Come to think of it, what kind of effect does Goddess-sama''s divine protection have?

    I wonder if it that I won''t catch a cold, even if I sleep with my exposed ?

    ...Don''t fault my lack of imagination. but well, you will know soon.

 CH 12

    Birthday party

    Two days after my baptism, it was finally time for my 5th birthday party.

    Various aristocrats are participating, and their children are also... I can''t help but want to go home.

    Why should my birthday be celebrated by those troublesome aristocrats?

    Something like this happens every five years... Well, since I was born into the royal family, I cannot do anything about it  ... but  It makes me want cry.

    "Welcome everyone !  Today is the 5th birthday of my son, the third prince, Sirius. Enjoy yourself to your heart''s content!"

    The party started with these words  from my father'', but... starting there I will have to greet various nobles starting from the Duke.

    What''s more, he casually introduce his  daughter to  me ... but I really don''t want to .

    And she has to greet me with flattering word!  There''s no reason to say such a thing, I tried my best to treat her  like an adult with a smile.

    And then, when the party was halfway through, I suddenly felt like going to the restroom, so I  left quietly.

    The greetings were all over, and now my two brothers are talking to influential people, so even if I leave, it won''t affect me that much, so l leisurely admired the castle on my way back from the restroom.

    and--

    "Hey! Are you listening!"

    I heard a voice that sounds like someone was arguing on the other side of the wall.

    That said, the walls are high, so it might just be my imagination, but I hope they won''t make a  mess  at my birthday party.

    Thinking that, I ran quietly over the wall and jumped to the tree where I heard the voice.

    I looked down  while thinking that if I were being watched,  I might have been seen as an assassin.

    Luckily, I landed quietly and didn''t seem to be  noticed by the people fighting under the tree,and when I looked around, there was a disturbing sight of multiple children of aristocrats surrounding and blaming a young girl.

    However, in front of that disturbing sight, I was involuntarily fascinated.

    It''s not an exaggeration to say that the girl surrounded by them, rather than those nobles, is an angel with long beautiful silvery-white hair that''s never seen before in this world, and beautiful orange and blue eyes with different colors in both eyes. She was such a lovely girl.

    But the others don''t seem to think so...

    "Are you listening!  This vampire!  monster! I  feel ill just looking at your face!  "

    "I can''t believe you came to His Highness''s birthday party looking like that!"

    "You look sick with  Those horrific cursed eyes!  "

    "Go away "

    "Yeah "

    I thought that the girl in question would say something back, but... she only muttered.

    " His Highness... His Highness''s birthday... Oh, because I wanted to celebrate..."

    The girl who said that while trembling.

    Those words made them even more excited... but I couldn''t take it any longer and jumped down from the tree.

    Landing beautifully between the girl and the guys surrounding her.

    Of course, everyone will be surprised if the person celebrating his birthday suddenly fall down from the sky,but I couldn''t take it anymore.

    "So, Your Highness!  Why form such a place...!?  ?  "

    "What, while I was taking a walk, I heard an awfully unpleasant chirping."

    When I glared at them, they gave me various reasons and left... I didn''t care about those guys, so I turned to the girl and smiled.

    "You said it with all your heart just now."

    "Eh¡­¡­?"

    ¡° My birthday¡­ you came all the way here because you really wanted to celebrate it.¡±

    "Ho, how "

    "It is a secret "

    Surely this is one of the effects of the divine protection from the gods at that time.

    I can understand the true intentions of those who are sincere towards me.

    This silver-haired girl in front of me really appreciate me.

    "Your hair is beautiful... can I touch it?"

    "Eh¡­¡­?"

    She is  at a loss for words again at that sentence.

    Well, I''m sure this girl hasn''t been told good about her appearance until now.

    That''s why, although it seems that she''s surprised by the suddenness... the girl said as though she was about to shed tears.

    "... creepy... isn''t it...?"

    "Do you mean your appearance?"

    The girl  nodded.

    "I''m different from other people... my hair looks like a vampire... my eyes are weird... everyone says they look like monsters..."

    I slowly stroked the hair of the girl who was holding back her tears,

    , confirming the feel of her beautiful hair, and said.

    "It''s so beautiful  your hair that shines like snow, and  beautiful eyes that look like a starry sky... it''s almost like your are  a silvery angel."

    ""--!? Ugh..."

    The girl burst into tears at those words.

    When I scooped up the drop with my finger, I instantly wanted to protect this girl.

    "May I ask your name?"

    "¡­¡­ Philia ¡­¡­ That¡¯s ¡­¡­ philia Astarte ¡­"

    "Philia huh... that''s a nice name.  I''m Sirius  Nice to meet you, Philia."

    "¡­¡­yes"

    The smile that Philia showed at that time.

    When she saw it, it was so innocent and beautiful that I  began to feel like  wanting to protect It even more .

    "Goddess-sama, I''m sorry...I think I fell in love with a human girl for the first time in my life."

    That was the day I met Philia.

    And so was the day I fell in love with Philia at the first sight.

 CH 13

    Philia stopped crying, and we sat nearby and talked about various things.

    Philia is a very obedient girl, she always speaks from the heart without lying or flattering.

    It''s probably because of the power of God''s blessing that I can understand it, but right now it''s incredibly comfortable.

    Her slime Is so cute that it makes my heart beat faster.

    Is it really that much fun to talk to someone you love?

    My feelings for Goddess-sama include respect and love, so it''s probably a little different from my current feelings.

    When I heard Philia''s story, I found out that her parents seemed to be quite decent, and that they truly love Philia.

    That''s why she grew up so innocent.

    "Your Highness! So this is where you were !"

    After talking for a while, the maid Elia came to pick me up, probably worried about me not coming back.

    It''s a pity, but it will not be  good if I  don''t go back soon.

    Philia also seemed disappointed, which made me a little happy.

    ¡­¡­Yeah, I¡¯ll ask it after all.

    To be honest, it would be better if we got to know each other a little more... but it will a shame if I let it pass and regret it later.

    "Philia... do you have a fianc¨¦e or someone you like?"

    "Eh? Uhm.... no. "

    "Well, then..."

    I got down on one knee in front of Philia, gently took her hand , smiled and said.

    "Miss Philia, will you marry me?"

    ".....Eh? "

    Philia opens her eyes in surprise.

    Her orange and blue eyes  were shining beautifully, so when I stared at those beautiful eyes, I suppressed my pounding heart and tried my best to convey my true feelings with a refreshing smile.

    "It may be sudden since we just met, but... I fell in love at first sight. I  want to spend the rest of my life with Philia.  So...if you don''t hate it,  Philia would you be with me?"

    I thought that Philia would be very confused by this sudden thing, but  Philia just started to shed tears again.

    When I thought that  she wasn''t okay with it, the answer I received was different.

    "Is it fine...? Me being like this...if I am by your highness''s sides ..."

    "I want you to be by my side"

    When I answered that, Philia quietly nodded, with a "Yes."

    At that moment, the engagement between me and Philia was decided.

    I felt sorry for Elia, who was watching, but I am happy that she didn''t interrupt us.

    "You''re back... Wait, Sirius?  "

    My father had a surprised expression when he saw Philia holding hands with me.

    Philia seemed nervous of what he might say, but I wasn''t particularly worried.

    Sure enough, my father laughed and said.

    "Ehhh, when I thought you had escaped, and  you bring back the young lady?"

    ¡°Father, this is Philia to  whom I want to           be engaged with.¡±

    "I , I''m Philia Astarte..."

    ¡°The daughter of Count Astarte, huh?"

    When I turned around, Philia''s father and mother came out of the hall and  were surprised by my sudden fiance remark.

    They don''t have the same hair color or eyes as Philia, so maybe it''s inherited from her grandparents?

    "Philia, what is this..."

    "Um, father. Actually..."

    "Excuse me, Earl Astarte. Earlier, I proposed my engagement to Philia, and she accepted it....I think the formal engagement will take place at a later date, but please approve it."

    Philia''s father gaze tourn to her as if to confirm it .

    Philia''s mother was very happy to hear that, but her father was a little worried.

    Well, she''s a cute girl, so it can''t be helped.

    ¡°Your Highness, are you really okay with my daughter?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, it is embarrassing, but I fell in love with her at first sight¡­ Talking to her made me feel even better, and I am convinced that Philia and I  would be able to get along well.¡±

    Earl Astarte was perplexed by those words, and Philia looked happy.

    Yeah, you''re cute

    "That''s why, father--no, your Majesty the King, would you allow this engagement?"

    "Allow"

    "Are you sure, Your Majesty?"

    ¡°Ah, I know the character of Count Astarte. If it¡¯s that girl, I can entrust  my  son to her with peace of mind¡­ Miss Philia. Can I ask you to take care of my son?¡±

    Philia nodded and replied to my father.

    "Yes... I swear that I will always be with Her Highness."

    "Is it okay? Count Astarte."

    "... I understand. Your Highness,

    please take care of my daughter."

    With those words, the engagement between me and Philia was decided between the two families.

    The documents will probably come later, but Philia and I are now engaged.

    Well... I am a little relieved.

    I  later thought that he was forced to accept because he couldn''t refuse an engagement from the royal family, but I''m glad Philia doesn''t seem to mind it either.

    Some people in the hall didn''t seem quite happy, but my engagement with Philia still  spread throughout the nobility.

    This will also reduce the number of people who mess with Philia.

 CH 14

    "However, I was surprised when Sirius came back with a young lady."

    After the  announcement of our engagement, we all had a meal together©`©` and while the whole family was having dinner together for the first time in a while, Regulus-niisama said such a thing with a chuckle.

    "I fell in love at first sight"

    "That Sirius fell in love at first sight... Well, for now, is it okay if you welcome the concubine with this?"

    "... Is it bad if I don''t get one after all?"

    "That''s right."

    Father also nodded when I turned to him.

    Well it seems to be hopless ,but I was thinking that I will have been nice to just have Philia.

    Anyway, as youngest child, and I think that it will be fine with only my legal wife, Philia.

    However it seems that it  will not work since my father and the whole family don''t think so.

    Or rather, I just turned 5 years old, and they are already talking about my concubine.

    But, it''s not bad to be able to relax with Philia in the territory I worked hard to fix.

    Philia has a younger brother, and it seems that he will succeed as the head of the Earl Astarte family, so there is no problem for her to marry me.

    After that, I will have someone with a lower family rank than Philia as a concubine... I still don''t feel like it...

    Well, I hope it''s someone we can get along well with, but I''ll be in trouble if it''s not okay with Philia. It seems like a slow life is still far away after all...

    "Come to think of it,  sister will get married as soon as she graduates from school, right?  ¡±

    "Yeah, I''m sad to leave Sirius, but will have a lot of work."

    Lesia-nee-sama said that and smiled.

    It''s just a little while before she graduates from school, and his older sister, who celebrated her 15th birthday a little while ago, seems to have a lot of trouble preparing for her life from there.

    Well, she going to be a marquise, so it can''t be helped.

    "Right, Sirius.  Is the territory okay?  I heard that there was some difficulty "

    Raul-niisama suddenly asks such a question.

    "Where did you get this information?"

    "No, the guys who were  escorting you are talking about that."

    Hmm, I see.

    "No particular problem.  It''s a very nice city with good security."

    Well, i just did a little bit of clean up.

    "Yes, well, if something happens, you can count on me."

    "Thank you , Brother Raul."

    "It''s normal since you''re my brother."

    Brother said while grinning.

    It is strange..

    he has the perfect face of an older brothers and I fell that it suits him well.

    And it seems to be the perfect opposite of Regulus-niisama who is refreshingly handsome.

    "Oh yeah, now that everyone is together, I have a something to said."

    "What is it, father?"

    "Well, it''s trivia matter. I''ve decided who will be the next king."

    Not to mention Regulus-niisama, who asked the question , everyone else was surprised©`©`or not.

    that?  Am I the only one who is surprised?

    I am the only one who have the image of the air being tense with those words...but my older brothers and sisters seem to listen normally.

    As for Mother, she is eating tempura calmly.

    It seems is delicious.

    What was she thinking?

    While I was thinking, my father said in an easy going tone .

    "Raul will be the next king. Regulus I will have to ask you to assist Raul."

    "Okay, got it."

    "I understand"

    ¡­¡­so easy?

    Is that okay?

    Well, I don''t have any interest in the throne to begin with, but I wonder if it''s okay to finish something like this with such a casual declaration.

    "I plan to give Sirius the title of Duke once he becomes and adult. Is it okay?"

    "Yes, no problem."

    ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary, but just in case, he will have to go to school.¡±

    Well, I don''t have much to learn...

    Apart from that, I can still gather the knowledge necessary to become the head of a noble family myself, so I don''t really have a reason to go to school...

    "Then, I''ll go to the magic department with Philia."

    "Hmm? Can Miss Philia use magic?"

    "Yes, it looks promising."

    In the aristocratic department, there are many people who don''t like Philia, so even if it is a meritocracy, Philia will feel more at ease in the magic department.

    By the way, Philia seems to have an aptitude for water and wind magic.

    "Oh, is that so? Well that might be better. If there''s someone who looks promising, we should just scout them on our side."

    Even in this world, magicians are quite valuable, so there are a lot of jobs opportunities for them .

    So it is always good to scout for someone who could be useful.

    "Fumu... Come to think of it, that girl had a unique appearance, but she doesn''t seem to be inherited from her parents."

    "It''s inherited from her grandparents."

    ¡°If I remember correctly, the wife of the former count Astarte was from the village of Edel."

    The village of Edel is a small village in the snowy land north of this country, and the residents there are said to have otherworldly appearances.

    Well, it''s just a rumor, but does it explain Philia''s angelic appearance?

    Or rather, as expected of Regulus-niisama.

    You''re knowledgeable.

    ¡°Well, Sirius might be better off with Miss Philia than with a poor aristocrat daughter. They are not in a bad condition."

    I didn''t specifically aim for that area, but... well, I guess this result is okay?

    If a girl with a beautiful heart like Philia was by her side, I  would surely be able to live in peace.

    "Ah, that''s right. I was thinking of giving this to Sirius."

    As he remembered,  Brother Regulus received something from a servant, and  gave it to me.

    Two silver rings with simple decorations , but it doesn''t seem to be just any ring.

    "Is this... a magical equipment?"

    "Yeah, it has a built-in recognition inhibition function."

    The difference between magic tools and magical equipment is whether or not they have a power source.

    A magic tool moves with something called a magic stone that can be taken from a monster.

    Magical equipment, without the use of magic stones, exert their effects according to the spells carved into them when the user passes magic power through them.

    And this time, the one that Regulus-niisama handed over to me was the latter, a magical equipment.

    ¡°Since it¡¯s Sirius, you will likely tried  escape the castle alone sooner or later, so I¡¯ll give you this in advance. When you grow up, you should go on a date with Miss Philia.¡±

    What a beautiful line.

    I would like Brother Raul, who eats deep-fried food, to learn from him.

    Well Raul-niisama also has his good side so I shouldn''t complain.

    That''s how  I got a convenient item that was just right to use with my teleportation magic.

 CH 15

    Ice cream and space magic

    Sister Lesia''s wedding was gorgeous, and Sister Lesia the bride was even mor beautiful.

    Philia, who attended with me, was also fascinated by her girlish wedding dress.

    In such a way, Sister Lesia married into the marquis house, and around the time when the busy days showed a little calmness, I was pouring my passion into the development of a certain sweets.

    Well, it''s a sweet that melts if you just p heat it a little.

    A sweets that solidified once chilled and that a girl will surely like .

    With that, I headed to the Count  Astarte household where Philia was.

    Astarte territory is relatively close to the royal capital, but even so, it takes quite a while to get around even with a carriage.

    If it''s for Philia, I don''t care about that amount of time, but I have a special magic, so there''s no reason not to use it.

    Yes, it''s transfer magic.

    To be precise, it''s a  space magic, but what is space magic in the first place?

    It starts with teleportation, and for example, it is a magic that controls space, such as make two distant place closer with a gate , or swapping your position with your opponent.

    Well, I rarely used it in combat.

    I more often use transfer magic and magic that put things in another space.

    Or should I  say a subspace?

    In that subspace, time stops working, food does not rot, and cold things can be preserved as they are.

    Well, I rarely used it in combat.

    Furthermore, there is no limit to the capacity, even if you put multiple things in it, you can take them out immediately,Also, it''s a very convenient magic that can take out only a  specified thing or take it out to ta specified place.

    Well, in the past, when this magic transfer was exposed, I did  spent my days working like a slave... but now it very convenient since can always go to Philia''s place with it .

    Well, as expected, it was impossible to hide this and go there frequently, so I decided to explain it to my family and the people of the Earl Astarte family, but... everyone is kind, and promised to keep it secret.

    However, becaouse of that, I often have to take my mother to the royal capital incognito to pass  time...I wondered if it was okay for her as  the queen, and I also visited the royal capital more often.

    This time, I  plans to invite Philia to go on a date with him .

    A date... it might be the first date in my life.

    In my first life, I didn''t even have a family let alone a girlfriend, and in my second life, I had almost no contact with girl because of that princess who is hard to remember.

    Yes, Philia is my redemption.

    Goddess and Philia are my only redemption.

    For that  reason, I use teleportation magic to move to a room in Philia''s house.

    That room has been reserved to some extent for me, since I''m basically supposed to teleporte straight to this room, there''s no need to worry about people seeing it.

    When I exited the room, the servants greeted me.

    While returningthe greetings, I knock on Philia''s door.

    "Yes"

    ¡°Filia, are you okay now?¡±

    "S-Sirius-sama! Yes!"

    Even we are small, I''m going to enter the lady''s room, so I''ll check it properly.

    We''ll be husband and wife, but even so, there''s courtesy even in a close relationship.

    Then, when I entered the room, the soothing smell of Philia put my mind at ease.

    ¡°Welcome Sirius-sama.¡±

    Philia is attractive as always with her  beautiful silver hair and clear odd eyes of orange and blue colors.

    yeah, cute.

    ¡°I came to see you because I made something. And I wanted Philia to taste ¡­ are you free right now ?¡±

    "Yes, I''ve finished studying"

    The diligent Philia seems to been learning a lot  in order to marry me.

    It may be hard, but each time I come to visit, she had to take a break, so I come often, but the true is that I just want to see Philia.

    "Then let''s sit down and eat."

    "yes"

    Philia sat down with a cute slime on her face, and I used space magic to take out the candy from subspace and placed it in front of Philia with a spoon.

    "Sirius-sama, is this...?  ¡±

    Philia''s question is not about space magic, but about the sweets in front of her .

    I told my family and the Astarte family about the transfer, but I exposedthe subspace only to Philia.

    And in front of Philia, is he food that I have brought out of my subspace .

    It''s white, round, and slightly cool, it''s everyone''s favorite candy, yes--

    "It''s ice cream."

    "ice cream ?"

    It took a lot of time to make vanilla ice cream, but it turned out to be a good product.

    After all, the number the best has to be eaten by someone you like.

    "For the time being, try eating it."

    "Yes. Then..."

    With her small mouth, she  elegantly eat a mouthful of ice cream.

    Then Philia opened her eyes wide, smiled and said.

    Wow...it''s delicious..."

    Alright!

    It made me want to take a victory pose , but I endured it and watched with a smile.

    Philia seemes to like ice cream very much, so I''ll be bringing various kinds after this, but I will0 need to be careful not to upset her stomach.

 CH 16

    Bath

    Lately, I feel like I''m getting extravagant.

    However, I can''t give up on this alone.

    "Today... today I will definitely take my bath by myself "

    Isn''t it strange that it takes 10 maids to bathe a boy ?

    My father and brothers are all alone, but for some reason I''m the only one who was bathed by the maids and washed over into egg skin that makes me think I''m a maiden...

    It''s one of the secrets I don''t want Philia to know, but... no matter how much I say I''ll go in alone, if my mother orders it, the maids will  take me to the bath in no time.

    I protested to my mother about that, but she ignored it and only say"Sirius is cute." With a slime on her face.

    The proposed alternative was to enter with Mother or Sister lesia, but... that means the maids will still be there, right ?

    Both my mother and Lesia-nee-sama are always polished into egg skin by the maids in the bath.

    Well , my married sister isn''t here anymore...

    Since we''re family, I don''t think it''s embarrassing to be seen naked.

    Furthermore, I''m a child, and it''s impossible for me to fell something over my mother and sister naked body.

    It would be different if it was Philia... but it can''t be helped because it''s someone I like.

    I really can''t take it anymore, so I decided to get into the bath by myself, sneaking into the bath by slipping through the eyes of the maids.

    The baths rime for the royal family are separated for men and women, but they are provisional and few people follow them.

    Nonetheless, that''s why I was relieved that there was no one around at this time.

    When I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom, the scenery felt fresh and different from usual.

    Well, I was usually taken by the maid and washed all over the body¨D¨Dah, just remembering it makes me cry.

    While shedding such tears, I carefully wash my  hair, face, and body in order.

    Recently, using shampoo and rinse seems to be popular among women who say that it makes their hair smoother.

    I''m also kind of uneasy about using only shampoo and rinse... but washing myself with my own hands is the best.

    (T/N : I don''t know why )

    After washing like that, when I soaked in a huge bathtub, I couldn''t help but sigh.

    I don''t know when was the last time I took a bath alone like this...

    Sitting on the second step of the bathtub is just right in terms of height,so that I can stretch my limbs and take a breather.

    "As expected, the bath is nice..."

    As a Japanese, no, as a person, I don''t think it''s a good idea to cut corners when it comes to bathing.

    A bath is essential to wash away the fatigue of the day and induce a relaxing sleep.

    Yeah, it''s very fulfilling.

    However, it didn''t last that long...

    "Oh? Sirius?"

    I was startled by the voice.

    When I timidly looked behind me, there was my naked mother with an army of maids.

    I''m sure that a normal man would be fascinated by her beauty, but unfortunately I don''t have such feelings for my relatives, and don''t particularly pay attention to her breasts, which are full of motherhood.

    After all, the glaring eyes of the maids in the back are terrifying, like carnivorous beasts facing their prey.

    "What? So you really wanted to join us?  ¡±

    "No... it''s rare for you to take a bath at this time."

    "Somehow, I  felt like it."

    My mother approached me with a smile, and I stepped back.

    My busy mother often act on a whim, but I feel like she''s doing it on purpose this time.

    Even though she''s a woman, the speed of an adult''s step and a child''s stepping back can''t be the same, and she will reach me in no time.

    Escape with teleportation... No, impossible , I am naked right now.

    I tried to run, but I was caught before I could pass through her.

    I gave up and went in together... In the end, the maids gave me an egg skin polishing as usual.

    ¨D¨DAh, this is packed.

    The mother and the maids were smiling.

    That smile was like telling me to give up, and that couldn''t escape.

    ¡­¡­That''s it! I can do this!

    I came up with an idea, immediately execute it, and  teleported to the dressing room with teleportation magic.

    Hehehe, I will  just use from the start next time and I will be able to escape...

    "Sirius-sama, you''ll catch a cold, so please return."

    For some reason, there''s a maid with a smiling face at the destination, and I was forced to return to the bathroom.

    Back there, Elia and other maids who always make me shine like an egg skin were waiting, and reminding me that I can''t escape.

    I tried to resist slightly by saying that I already washed, but they didn''t listen to it, saying, ``There is still more polishing to go .''''

    I thought deeply about how powerless the third prince was.

    By the way, brother Raul and brother Regulus were allowed to take a bath by themselves relatively early.

    I don''t want Philia to know about it, but... I''m also looking forward to taking a bath with Philia in the future, so I''ll do my best with that as my goal.

    But if possible, I would be happy if I could take a bath alone before that... I really want that.

 CH 17

    I miss japanese food

    In my previous life, when I was a hero, I didn''t care... No, I didn''t have time to care, but now that my life has become more comfortable and luxurious, I''ve come to miss certain things.

    "I want to eat Japanese food..."

    Of course I like bread, but sometimes I want to eat rice too.

    I will not ask anything extravagant, rice and pickled radish should be anough.

    If you have rice, you can make donburi.

    Oyako-don, katsu-don, gyu-don, sukiyaki-don, eel-don...the list goes on and on.

    (T/N: it is literally, a boll of rice (don) with various complement)

    There are also dishes that can be made with soy sauce, such as simmered vegetables.

    I miss miso soup... I want to eat pork soup too.

    When I think about it, my first life was too hard, and I couldn''t eat much Japanese food.

    In my second life, even if I became a hero, I couldn''t afford to eat delicious food.

    In any case, it may be inevitable to remember the nostalgic taste of my hometown (although I don''t want to go back).

    Apparently, rice itself also exists in this world.

    That said, it''s still not at a place that I, a child, can go.

    Teleportation magic can only go to places you''ve been to before, so I can''t suddenly teleport to an unfamiliar land.

    If I travel a distance every day, mark the transfer point and teleporte back home, it''s not impossible to go, but... I don''t want to do that.

    Even if I miss Japanese food, there are so many other things I want to do that I don''t feel compelled to go.

    It''s difficult to ask a merchant, so I''ll try going when I grow up.

    By the way, I''m eating alone again today.

    Since sister Lesia got married, the number of meals alone has increased.

    Raul-niisama, who will succeed to the throne, and Regulus-niisama, who will assist him, are busier than before and have less time to show their faces.

    Father and mother seem to be busy as usual, and with this, I will inevitably have my meal alone.

    You can see why I became a siscon.

    For sure, it was sister Lesia who raised me.

    I''d like to eat with Philia, but...if I go, she''ll get distracted, since Philia seems to be busy with her studies and lessons.

    Well, it seems that it will settle down soon, but I don''t want to disturb Philia who is doing her best right now, so I guess it''s better to go out and have fun for a change of pace.

    Normally, I would have to study  various things, but since I haven''t been reincarnated twice just for show, I can do things to some extent.

    Regarding the territory, there is no problem so far.

    Magic and swordsmanship... I have skills and magical powers, so I can only do muscle training.

    ¡­¡­ Well, I don¡¯t want to be muscular like Raul-niisama.

    Yeah, no.

    Everyone was busy, and I was made to realize that I was the most free.

    But there is nothing to worry about.

    It''s not that I''m slacking off or doing nothing, it''s a blessing that the goddess gave me so that I can spend my time like this.

    Yes, this life is the best.

    So, in my spare time, I pray to  Goddess-sama.

    I''ve become a believer too.

    Well, I don''t really worship anything other than Goddess-sama.

    I''m told not to spread it, so I can''t increase the number of believers, but even so, it will have been difficult to spread the goddess''s splendor with just my power alone.

    ¡­¡­No, let me be honest.

    For some reason, I don''t want to talk about this to other people.

    If it''s Philia, it''s fine, but that''s just because she''s Philia.

    She''s important to me and she can keeps secrets.

    By the way... I recently realized that maybe I have a strong desire to monopolize things.

    Especially when it comes to Philia and Goddess-sama.

    For Goddess-sama ,it may be disrespectful, but when it comes to Philia, it''s probably because she''s too important.

    I wonder if it''s because of my past... Maybe it''s because something important has suddenly appeared.

    Come to think of it, I have to decide on the concubine as soon as possible¡­¡­¡­¡­My heart fell heavy.

    Philia said with a smile that she would get along with anyone, but I wasn''t sure if I could love her properly.

    If you are so attached to one person, can you love another?

    A mystery among mystery.

    Well, I think I should be able to spend my lazy days like this for a little while longer, so I enjoyed my leisurely time.

    Peace banzai.

 CH 18

    8 years old

    Even if I wake up early in the morning and go to sleep again, I won''t oversleep, and I can fully enjoy it.

    This light sleep is so comfortable that I want to immerse myself in it forever¨D¨D

    Pap, pap

    "Uncle, wake up!"

    Yeah, relaxing and immersing myself in this slumber¨D¨D

    Pap pap, Pap,pap

    "Uncle! Wake up!"

    my rest time...

    No, I''m still want to sleep.

    Then, let''s use that classic line!

    "5 more minutes..."

    "Muu! Fuuu!"

    "fuuuu!"

    Something climbed on my stomach.

    And then it hurled at me, "wake up!"

    When I opened my eyes reluctantly, there was Regulus-niisama''s child and my niece, Tiffany, sitting on my stomach.

    I''m eight years old now.

    An 8-year-old uncle with a 2-year-old  little niece.

    There may be a sense of strangeness, but in this world, marriage happens early, so there are things like this.

    My niece Tiffany''s new favorite thing to do is to wake me up when I''m asleep.

    I don''t oversleep, but rather I go to bed early and get up early, like a healthy child, but... Tiffany doesn''t seem to care about that.

    When I opened my eyes, Tiffany said with a wide smile.

    "Good morning, uncle!"

    "... Good morning, Thii. Thank you."

    "You are welcome "

    "For now, I''m going to get up, so can you come down?"

    ¡°No!"

    I have no rights.

    Well, I was going to lay down to waste a bit more of time, but...

    "..."

    Suddenly, when I turned my gaze to the side, Tiffany''s twin sister Suwa was silently looking at me.

    "Good morning, Suwa."

    "¡­¡­yes"

    Opposite of her lively younger sister, she''s a quiet older sister, but since she''s quite clever for her age, could only say "as expected of Regulus-niisama''s child".

    "¡­¡­uncle"

    "Hmm? What is it?"

    "... picture book"

    "Oh, it''s almost ready, so I''ll give it to you when it''s done."

    "¡­¡­thank you"

    By the way, Suwa likes the picture book I made about Nyanta and Wanjiro, and seems to be looking forward to the new one.

    It''s a little embarrassing, but is it okay if  it makes her happy.

    After putting down Tiffany, who is riding on me, I quickly change clothes.

    When I check my appearance in front of the mirror, I think that my growth in height at this age may be the lowest, including my two previous life.

    For some reason, the person in my previous life, who had a short amount of sleep, was taller than I am right now ... is it because of this world?

    I''ve heard that sleeping doesn''t defy the law of gravity, so you grow taller... well, if it''s normal, there''s nothing to complain about.

    After finishing the preparations, the three of us left the room and head to the dining room, but the destination is the dining room in the separate building where older brother and his wife live.

    Originally, my brothers  who already have families and I, live separately in separate buildings in the castle, but sometimes we eat together at the request of my nieces.

    Well, I''m happy because I have less time to eat alone.

    Even with my 8 years of age , my father and mother''s work hasn''t changed much.

    If Raoul-niisama succeeds to the throne directly, it will calm down a bit... No, it seems that they are planning to spent lovey-dovey time as a married couple from there.

    I see, I also want to enjoy a peaceful retirement life with Philia in my old age.

    Well, my father, who will soon become the former king, and my mother, who will become the former queen, will probably have various jobs after retirement, but for me, I will leave everything to my child with Philia.

    A child with Philia... I''m sure he will be really cute.

    Absolutely, this time I want my child to call me "Papa", "Dad", "Father", and so on.

    As I was walking through the courtyard with that thought in mind, I happened to see a small child making a swing.

    Even though it''s just swinging with a light and safe toy sword, the child who was seriously doing it was so enthusiastic that he was sweating.

    "Good luck, Druid."

    "Ah, uncle!"

    When I called out to him, the child¨D¨DRaul-niisama''s eldest son Druid interrupted his swing and rushed over.

    "Uncle, let''s practice later! ¡±

    "No! Uncle is playing with us!"

    Suwar nodded.

    It''s hard to be popular.

    Well, I''m the only one who doesn''t have much time, and on top of that, we are  relatively close in age (although I am his uncle), so I guess he''s a good partner to kill time with.

    Since he look up to Brother Raul and admire him, Druid says he wants to become a knight in the future... I find it really admirable .

    To think that he have a dream from such a young age.

    In my case, I lived too fast, and I just wanted to enjoy a slow life, but he is a solid child.

    Druid, the eldest son of Brother Raul, will soon become the first prince when Raul-niisama succeeds to the throne.

    It feels like Raul-niisama''s generation will pass quickly... but this is the complicated part of royalty and nobility, isn''t it?

    From the bottom of my heart, I am glad that I was the third prince with low succession to the throne.

    Relax and live in peace... yeah, that''s good.

    Then, I had breakfast surrounded by my brother''s children and his wives. They are all beautiful, aren''t they?

    Philia is number one for me though.

 CH 19

    Knee pillow

    Today, I was enjoying a relaxing cup of tea with Philia at the Count Astarte household.

    Now that she''s eight years old, Philia is getting more and more adorable as she gradually approaches adulthood.

    Her long, beautiful silvery-white hair reminded me of a snow fairy, and her orange and blue eyes were as clear and beautiful as the starry sky.

    Her smile is adorable, and my favorite is her embarrassed look

    She is so innocent that she can blush with just a little of sweet words, but when I calm down and think back on my lines later, it''s quite embarrassing.

    In such an atmosphere, it becomes easy for me to say sweet words, love is truly amazing.

    "This tea is delicious."

    "Yes, mother said it was given to her when she had a tea party with the Queen before."

    I see, mother is a little picky about tea.

    It must be good tea leaves, but I think the brewing method is also quite wonderful.

    As expected, of a maid of a Count''s household.

    "Is it okay for you to give me such a good thing?  "

    "That... it is for her future son-in-law..."

    She says that while being embarrassed, but I see, so it''s from mother-in-law.

    Even so, Philia''s embarrassed face is really a picture.

    How should I put it, I want to make her more embarrassed with sweet words, but if I do that, I won''t be able to stop.

    "Then, I''ll thank mother-in-law later... Philia, do you want anything?"

    "No, no... I''m just happy to be with Sirius-sama..."

    Said Philia shyly.

    ¡­¡­ Oh my God, it¡¯s too cute!

    This kind of humility is natural, but it''s scary sometimes.

    To be honest, compared to my previous life, I have an overwhelming amount of money in my pocket, but I don''t really use it much, so I''m just accumulating money.

    No matter how hard I try, bankruptcy is impossible, so I can afford a little extravagance... I myself make what I want and since there is no one to spend money like that princess from my previous life where I was a hero.  Saving money seems to become a hobby.

    If you ask, Philia also doesn''t ask for anything much at home.

    She says that she buys the bare minimum of clothes and accessories, but she seems to be able to choose what suits her properly.

    ¡°Hmm¡­then, is there anything you want me to do for you?¡±

    "Something I want you to do... um, that..."

    "Anything is fine"

    "So, if that''s the case, then... just one..."

    As a result of asking from a different angle, I''m relieved to find something Philia wants.

    Just--

    "... Philia"

    "Yes, what is it?"

    "Isn''t this just making me happy...?

    Currently, I am having a knee pillow on Philia''s knees.

    Looking up at Philia with a sideways glance, she is gently stroking my head with a happy expression.

    "That''s not true. I''m very happy."

    "Is that so?"

    "Yes, I''ve been longing for it for a long time... Seeing my mother do it to my father."

    I see¡­¡­

    Even so, for Count Astarte to ask his wife to do something like this... maybe, it mother-in-law who want it?

    I''ve talked with him a few times, but Count Astarte seems to be serious and has a hidden side that dislikes troublesome things, so I somehow sympathized with him.

    My mother-in-law, Countess Astarte, looks like a gracefully aged version of Philia, and her personality is a bit mischievous.

    If you ask me, it seems that the mother-in-law was the most excited about her daughter''s engagement to me, and Count Astarte seemed to be a little troubled about his daughter''s marriage to the royal family, but he seems to approve of it.

    "Sirius-sama''s hair is beautiful."

    "It''s not as good as Philia."

    "No, it''s very smooth. The same as the Queen, very beautiful."

    Mother''s hair is certainly beautiful, but what about me?

    Come to think of it, Philia seems to have had the chance to talk to my mother since she got engaged to me... Well, I can understand that she''s attracted to that beauty.

    However, I don''t know anything more beautiful than Philia''s hair and eyes.

    Beautifully colored hair, clear eyes, and kind heart, everything is lovely.

    That''s what I thought while smiling, and Philia blushed and averted her gaze.

    But she didn''t stop stroking with hands.

    A pleasant breeze caresses my skin, and the warmth of Philia''s gentle hands puts me at ease.

    It''s an extravagantly luxurious time... When I''m like this, I honestly think that I want to spend all my life in such a harmonious way.

    The goal is to be a couple who are in good term even when they become grandpa and grandma.

    Such an elderly couple was a regular customer at the inn in my first previous life, and I was honestly envious of them.

    It''s not easy to imitate the way they hold hands and care for each other calmly.

    Well, strangely enough, I feel like I can do it with Philia, but after all, spending time with someone you love, someone important to you, is many times more special than usual.

    While gradually falling asleep, Philia hummed a lullaby so comfortingly that I quietly entrusted myself to her.

 CH 20

    Suddenly, I wanted apricot fruit punch with almond tofu.

    Why do I know foods like almond tofu and apricots fruit punch even though I used to work at an inn?

    Well, to be frank, there was a time when it was served as a dessert at the inn.

    That exquisite sweetness and that texture, I personally liked it quite a bit, but until recently I completely forgot about it.

    There is no powdered gelatin like in Japan, so I made it by boiling cow bones.

    Gelatin is really important.

    Without this, jelly will not harden, so it can be said that it is essential for making sweets.

    It would be different if there was agar, but I''m sure agar is made from seaweed.

    How do I know that?

    Even though I was in a different department, I helped a lot with things like preparing food!  (Hig..Hig)

    .... Why I am crying?

    I thought I was in charge of customer service, but for some reason I got up at 4:00 to help with food, you know?

    At that time, the talkative head chef was talking about various things... isn''t it amazing that I remembered that?  Even I am surprised.

    I really don''t want to think about those bad memories that won''t leave your mind.

    With that kind of feeling, almond tofu was completed while remembering the bitterness of my previous life.

    I think this white, jiggly object is unexpectedly cute.

    "ah!  Uncle!¡±

    When I was checking the almond tofu in the kitchen, I heard such a voice.

    The owner came towards me and dumped into me .

    I already know who it is  without looking...

    "Thee, what''s wrong?"

    ¡°I was looking for you to play with me uncle! ¡­¡­By the way, what is that?¡±

    Thiffany, who is the younger girl of Brother Regulus''s twin daughters, looked at my hands and asked me.

    "It''s almond tofu."

    " Is it delicious?"

    "Want to try?"

    "yes!"

    "Wait "

    And, I beckoned the child who was looking at me from outside the kitchen.

    "Come on, Suwa too."

    "¡­¡­yes"

    Her older sister, Suwa also approached with discreet footsteps.

    To the sisters, I divide the almond tofu neatly and give it to them along with a spoon.

    "De... delicious!¡±

    "¡­¡­yeah"

    The reaction of the two was simple, yet honest, which made me happy.

    "Uncle is a cooking genius!"

    Recently, the two of them often come and eat sweets when I am making them, and it seems that they pass that information on to  their mothers and the other wives of brother Raul and brother Regulus.

    I''m making a lot of them because I''ll be reminded later, but I am happy to make it if I can get this kind of reaction.

    Of course, I plan to bring it to my  fianc¨¦e, Philia, when I have time.

    Girls like sweets is common in all worlds.

    ¡°Uncle, please!¡±

    "..."

    A cheerful voice and a silent appeal.

    While thinking they are a pair of interesting sisters, I didn''t forget to say, " this is the last for today ok?"

    The obedient sisters smiled at those words and nodded, so I deeply thought that in the future, I would also like to have such a cute daughter with Philia.

    A little girl with the same silver hair as Philia or with the same odd eyes?...I feel like I will not stop crying when her time to get married come.

    If it''s a boy, I am sure that he''ll be

    handsome.

    After all, it''s normal if the mother''s genes are good

    Eh? Me?

    Hmm... I don''t feel like I''m beautiful like my mother, maybe just ordinary?

    The color of my hair is similar to my mother''s, but other than that... well everyone says we are similar.

    Especially our personality.

    I have my doubts whether it''s like that, but...well, it is not that important.

    By the way, the almond tofu recipe was later used at the restaurant that use the recipe I taught, and the jelly also became popular .

    I was a little surprised that jelly-type sweets didn''t exist in this world yet... well, I just made them because I wanted to eat them, so it''s okay.

    Also, the apricot jam was consumed by my brother''s family for breakfast, but I decided to store the apricot juice in another space with space magic for my personal enjoyment.

    If they want it, they can ask the chef for it , but why is apricot less recognized than apples and other fruits?

    The fruits in this world seem to be less affected by the climate, and many of them bear fruit even if the season and climate are different from the fruits in my first life, but apples are still the standard.

    Speaking of juice, is there apple juice?

    Also, grapes wine.

    Grapes If I''m not mistaken, the territory next to mine is famous for grapes, so maybe I should make grape juice next time.

    I like the smell of wine, so it might be nice to drink it when I''m a little older.

    Well, I didn''t like alcohol that much since In my first life, I was made to drink even though I didn''t like it in order to recommend it to customers, and the hangover was terrible.

    So let''s drink in moderation.

 CH 21

    "Oh, so cute."

    "Right!"

    The one with a triumphant face is my older sister, Lesia-nee-sama.

    Having a cute smug face is the privilege of a beautiful girl, isn''t it?

    She turned 18 this year and has a newborn baby.

    Since it is a boy, he will surely become the heir to the marquis family.

    The beautiful blond child who resembles Sister Lesia does not look much like sister''s husband, Marquis Ricklert.

    It can be said that the strength of my older sister''s genetics can''t be underestimated.

    The child''s name is Ash.

    With this, all my older brothers and sisters other than me have children.

    ¡°Sirius, how are you with Philia-chan these days?¡±

    After seeing the baby''s face, while I was talking with my sister for the first time in a while over tea, she asked me that.

    "We are doing well"

    I don''t know if it''s okay to talk about my love to my sister, but I can assure that our relationship as a fianc¨¦ is far beyond good.

    "I see, but by the time Sirius gets married and has a child, I will be preparing to be a grandmother."

    For some reason, I couldn''t imagine my sister getting old.

    Rather, I feel like she will always look younger like my mother.

    ¡°How is sister married life? Are the children difficult?¡±

    ¡°I have servants, so I don¡¯t have any particular difficulties."

    Well, it seems that child-rearing for nobles varies from family to family, and while there are people who leave everything up to servants and nannies, there are also people who do almost everything themselves.

    Regarding me and Philia''s child, Philia said that she would like to take care of them as much as possible.

    Philia seems to have been treated well by mother-in-law, and she wants to do the same.

    It''s a good mother-daughter relationship.

    My father and mother were both busy, and I was mostly taken care by the nanny and servants, but I know that even though they were busy, they definitely came to see me at least once a day.

    I didn''t know until this life that it is such a pleasure to have love properly directed at me.

    My first and second previous lives were nothing compared to the present, I was treated like objects and tools, and I don''t think I have much confidence in surviving being thrown there again.

    After all, it seems that I have become spoiled.

    "It is good then"

    "Were you worried about me?"

    ¡°Just a little bit, because you are my dear sister."

    I can see that my sister is looking happy, so I think that she is probably fine.

    Well, even so, I was a little worried.

    I wondered if she could get along with the concubines.

    My sister was overwhelmingly superior in family status, and since she is the second princess, it seems that the other party would rather be quiet... but my sister said that it is fine on that side as well.

    "Thank you for your concern."

    My sister say while stroking my head.

    It doesn''t seem like she''s going to let go of this childish treatment yet, but it''s not bad to be protected like this.

    That said, she never forgets to treat me like the third prince in front of others people.

    I want to look cool in front of Philia, but I have few opportunities to look cool in front of her because I somehow always feel at ease.

    Yeah, let''s do our best.

    When I will become an adult with a grown-up face that is different from when I was a child, it will make her heart skip a beat...

    That being said, Philia''s maternal side that sometimes shows on her face makes me nervous and deepens my affection for her, but... it is definitely the devil temptation.

    Call me a lolicon, but it can''t be helped because it''s true that I fell in love with her.

    I will accept that title with equanimity.

    Well, in terms of physical age, I am not  even in the lolicon square.

    We have the same age.

    More than anything else, marriages with age gaps in this world are not uncommon stories.

    People in positions of responsibility such as royalty, aristocrats, kings, and family heads are obligated to leave descendants while they are relatively young, for example, a young daughter married as a concubine, or legal wife. There are many situations in which lolicons would be delighted to hear such things as choosing a younger wife as a second wife after the death of the first.

    Conversely, there are cases where women are older and men are younger.

    For example, it''s quite common to hear stories such as children of powerful people marrying beautiful women close to them after they grow up, or female family heads with preference on the younger side.

    Consanguineous marriages are also allowed to some extent.

    It is not good if it continues for many generations, but it is tolerated in some case.

    Well, I don''t want to cuckold my brother in law.

    A sister is a sister, not a romantic target.

    Besides, I don''t have time to steal other people''s happiness.

    I''m busy flirting with Philia and chilling out.

    For same-sex marriage... I hear there are people who do it in secret because the church is noisy.

    I''ve never awakened to homosexuality, but I''m secretly rooting for yuri because imagining it makes me excited.

    Well, I won''t forgive you if you try to run Philia down that road.

    Like that, after having a pleasant chat with my sister, I handed over the sweets as a souvenir and looked at my nephew''s face one last time before heading home.

    After all, children are cute.

    Well, I''m a kid too.

 CH 22

    What is comfortable travel?

    The answer to that question is extremely difficult.

    However, no matter where you are traveling, if you are satisfied with food, clothing and lodging, many people will surely say that it is comfortable.

    Sleeping in a tent is one of the real pleasures of traveling.

    If there is an inn, you can use it, but if there isn''t one, a tent will come in handy.

    In this world, there are carriages that allow nobles to sleep to some extent rather than tents, and I can use them, but as someone like me who has great expectations for sleep, I can''t help but say that it''s still a bit unsatisfactory.

    So I decided to make it.

    What am I making?

    It''s a portable house!  (Doyaa)

    ¡­¡­I know, I already know that smug faces only look good on beautiful faces like older sisters and older brothers.

    But I''m still a child, so I should be cute.

    I''m sorry I seem a little harsh.

    Well, first of all, what is a portable house? To put it simply, it is a house that is made with the assumption that you can use it like a tent by using magic to carry it around.

    Even a small child knows that a house is not portable.

    But magic doesn''t just overturn common sense, it crashes it.

    First, create a house with the newly created magic of [Architecture].

    This magic house, created by combining any of the techniques of all seven attributes, is so sturdy that even the flames of a dragon cannot burn it, and even an elemental attack of an ancient being will not damage it.

    It is more sturdy than the royal castle where I live, and the soundproofing is perfect.

    Even if monsters attack outside, no sound will be heard inside the room, and no matter how much noise is made inside the room, no sound will leak outside.

    You might think that not being able to hear sounds is dangerous, but it can''t be destroyed by even the strongest dragon in this world, so I don''t need to worry about anything.

    In any case, it is not like I will go around  fighting dragon like a hero.

    ¡­¡­am I crying?

    Did I just get some dust in your eye?

    Yeah it must be it.

    By the way, the interior that you are interested in is a two-story house that combines Japanese and Western styles.

    Moreover, you can use the shower and the refrigerator freely!

    Three big magic stones of the fire, water and ice element are attached to it, and they are excellent things that can be used if I charge magic power.

    The big magic stones have a large amount of built-in magical power, so they can be used lightly for a month with a single charge.

    Well, the magical power consumption of the magician to charge it is large, but it is insignificant for my magical power.

    This allows to use refrigerators, washing machines, showers, kitchens, taps and toilets.

    Electrical appliances¡­¡­or rather, magic tools such as refrigerators and washing machines were made by me, but they should be as good as the latest Japanese products (from my past life point of view).

    As for the washing machine, there is also a dryer function, but even if you dry indoors, you will not be bothered by the smell.

    It has reached that level, and if Philia and I don''t find an inn nearby when we go on a trip, it would be nice for the two of us to spend a relaxing time together.

    Well then, I got my own house¨D¨Dor rather, I created it, but I diligently prepared several versions and saved them in another space with space magic.

    Theoretically it''s okay to put in hundreds or thousands in the other space, but it''s troublesome to make that much, so I''ll not do it.

    However, as a result of having fun by changing the size and the interior of the houses depending on where they will be used, I was able to create 42 houses.

    Since it''s made with magic, the cost is only the magic stones and the food in the refrigerator, but the consumption of magic power is probably dozens of times that of a normal magician. I''m sure I''m the only one in this world who can use this magic.

    If you put it in another space, naturally, the time in the refrigerator in the house will also stop.

    That''s why I put things that have already been cooled by magic to some extent, but the fact that they don''t rot may be the number one advantage of space magic.

    Now, about the moving method, I''m sure many people will guess from the explanation so far, I will just store it in another space and carrying it around.

    The problem is the setting.

    A house is not just built above the ground.

    That''s why I decided to fix it on ground using another new magic, [Relocate].

    The amazing thing about this [Relocate]    magic is that it will forcibly fix it with magic power without considering the topography.

    This made it possible for me to rest comfortably at any place without having to sleep in a tent or carriage.

    Well, I like inns and tents, so I will use it depending on my mood, but it''s been a long time since I''ve used large-scale magic and felt a little fulfilled.

    So the reason I did this all of a sudden was, of course... I just got the idea!

    Yeah, nice

    What a good way to waste time.

    Really meaningful.

    Well, one day I might go out to increase the number of transfer destinations, so there is no loss in making it.

    Wiht this, I can now carry my house around.

    Yeah, I can congratulate myself.

 CH 23

    "It is ok here"

    In a forest a little far from my territory.

    There''s a monster, but I''m thinking of quickly defeating it, saving it with space magic, and selling it if I ever need money, while I activate the magic.

    [Magic summoning ¨D¨DGolem]

    Gogogo, a golem close to 3 meters emerges from the summoning circle.

    It seems to be a success, so I''m relieved.

    About my previous life when I was once a hero.

    Among magic, there were some magics classified as ancient magic.

    Magic summoning ¨D¨Dit is a  summoning art that focuses on summoning a contracted partner.

    And the contract is effective even in another world.

    It is not the summoned creature that is summoned, but its spirit in a vessel created with magic.

    Well, the amount of mana consumed during summoning is great, but it''s helpful to be able to easily call a helper.

    First, I chose a summon that had no will and only obey orders, and it worked out quite well.

    Well, next...

    [Magic Summoning ¨D¨DPhoenix]

    A classic fantasy phoenix appears from the bright red summoning circle.

    Beautiful crimson wings and proud eyes.

    Its size is big enough to carry me and fly.

    But, it can reduce its size at will.

    It is said that its tears can heal any wound or poison, and its fire breath can incinerate anything.

    "Long time no see"

    After staring at my eyes, the phoenix changed into a small bird size and landed on my shoulder.

    Come to think of it, I was reincarnated, and my appearance changed, but... it seems like it can still recognize me.

    Well, I am the other party in the summoning contract, so even if my appearance changes, it should be able to recognize me .

    After that, I continued to summon Unicorn, Pegasus, Griffon, Hippogriff, and Bicorn.

    Basilisk... is a little weak, but it''s surprisingly cute once you get used to it.

    Among the creature who can be summoned on land, those which have a will, semmed to recognize me immediately.

    I will say hello to the summons which can only be summoned in limited climates, such as waterfront, later.

    It''s not like I''m tired

    Even if I''m a loner, they are ones of my few friends and are also like my children.

    However, it''s true that they are spoiled in their own way, and it will take time to satisfy all of them.

    So for the time being, I will just summon these and the rest will be done at a later date.

    After confirming that almost everyone can be summoned, I call the summoned beast next.

    Magic Summoning and summoned beasts seem to be the same thing, but they are slightly different.

    Magic Summoning means manifesting the contract partner with a vessel of magical power, and beasts summoning produce  guardians from my own magical power.

    Guardian¨D¨DThe existence that can be called a guardian is created based on the shape of living things in the natural world, and they can also have an individual will.

    Yes¨D¨Dfor example, it''s like the polar bear I just summoned.

    "Gafu"

    The summoned polar bear crawled into a nearby bush and killed an approaching wolf.

    Yeah, it works.

    And I choose the next summoned body.

    Human beings also exist in the natural world.

    And the strongest form of human beings, physically speaking, knights are the best.

    That''s why I summoned a white knight.

    Why is it continuously white?

    There''s no particular meaning, but it''s probably because I like the white series summoned beasts.

    And so, the experiment with the summoned beast is over, and the general confirmation has been completed.

    So I want to go home soon...

    ¡°Freya-chan, aren¡¯t you going back already?¡±

    Yes, when I asked the phoenix on my shoulder, it gently pecked my cheek as if resisting.

    I give names to my summoned children with a will, and the Phoenix''s name is Freya-chan.

    It''s because this child is a female.

    I don''t know if there are males Phoenix, but this child is a female, so there should be.

    By the way, there are two summonses who are still standing next to me, resisting like Phoenix Freya.

    Pegasus and Unicorn.

    The Pegasus'' name is Queen.

    The unicorn''s name is Knight.

    Even though it is a unicorn, Knight is attached to me, a man.

    Unicorns are naturally only attached to virgin maidens - in fact, they never appears except in front of virgin maidens, but Knight is still fawning over me.

    ¡­It¡¯s definitely not because I have a feminine¡¯s face, is it?

    Queen the Pegasus has a satisfied look on her face as she jumped in my arms, and I don''t feel like she''s coming back.

    They''re cute, and if they stay by my side, I''ll spend less time alone, but if I bring Phoenix, Pegasus, and Unicorn, I am sure that troubles will happen.

    Even though it was decided that Raul-niisama will succeed the throne, and Regulus-niisama will assiste him, which is a nice ending, but if I show off my power poorly, I might cause some ambitious idiot might appear.

    Yeah, nobles are really troublesome.

    I can''t use my power openly unless I disguise myself in my territory, where my family doesn''t follow me, or where people don''t know me at all.

    So will have to find a way to conceale them.

    After wrestling with the three for a while, it was settled that as a compromise, all three would become smaller, and I will use magic to conceale their true form.

    Freya the Phoenix place is on my head or on my shoulder.

    Queen the Pegasus is in my arms, or when Freya-chan is on my head, she will sit on my shoulder like a certain, well-known yellow mouse (Pikachu).

    That character is really amazing.

    I feel like running and jumping with a reasonably heavy creature on my shoulder is not human work.

    By the way, the unicorn knight will be invisible in front of anyone other than me and the two other, so I can play with it only in my room.

    In addition, when the number of pets increases like that, it naturally attracted attention... and they definitely became the favorite of fluffy-loving people like mother, sisters-in-law, nieces and maids.

 CH 24

    What is the classic recipe when cooking with eggs?

    Yes!  It''s a fried egg!

    Ah, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, and fried eggs are already in this world, so no.

    In such a battleground for eggs (in my mind), for some reason there is no tamagoyaki yet .

    (T/N: tamagoyaki =Japanese rolled omelet)

    Well, if you come up with the idea of ??rolling a fried egg and eating it, you''re a genius.

    If I hadn''t been taught, I wouldn''t have known.

    In my unfortunate first life, I wanted to eat fried eggs in the morning, and after making dozens to hundreds of them, my level reached the level where it wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that I''m a master of fried eggs.

    However, I don''t really like normal fried eggs.

    I think it''s delicious, but for some reason I think that tamagoyaki with sugar is better.

    You can say that I have a childish tongue, but I would like to add that I was desperate to get as much nutrition and calories as possible.

    Putting such a sad past aside, the square frying pan I ordered a few days ago was finally completed and delivered to me.

    It''s a little difficult to make with a normal frying pan, but it''s possible.

    However, I want to pursue comfort anyway.

    For that reason, I paid a small amount of money, and headed to the kitchen with the frying pan that just arrived.

    The servants who saw me going to the kitchen saw me off, thinking that I would probably make something again.

    And when I appear in the kitchen, the chefs looked strangely happy.

    "Sirius-sama!"

    Among them, the smile of the head chef, Zephus, was incomparable.

    Well, if I make a dish that he doesn''t  every time, this kind of expectation will become natural.

    In my second past life, this turned into a negative spiral and tormented me.

    Since you are a hero, it''s only natural to save people.

    Dedicate everything to your country and people.

    Don''t think about yourself.

    Such an expectation became so natural that black companies pale in comparison.

    Well, my first life was terrible though.

    Over there, all overtime work turned into unpaid overtime work, and holidays were like a distant dream.

    What was magical is that the amount of debt remained the same, there was no reduction, but rather the more I worked, the less my salary was.

    Towards the end, it is a little vague, but when I saw the single-digit number, I really cried.

    Working full-time for a month, working overtime, and earning less than a part-time job in the general public made me cry.

    At the late stage, I didn''t even have the energy to run away, my body worked like a programmed machine, so it is normal that I don''t remember very well, right?

    ¡­¡­Yeah, that¡¯s right.

    That was the past, let''s live for the present and the future.

    "Zephus, can I use the kitchen?  ¡±

    "Of course! What are you making today?"

    "It''s a rolled fried egg."

    ¡°Fried eggs¡­ are you going to use that strange frying pan?"

    "Well"

    It would be early to use it for the time being.

    After thinking so, I beat the eggs, add a little sugar and bake in a frying pan.

    At first, I was a bit confused as to how to roll it thinly, but once I got used to it, it''s not a big deal.

    "I see, eggs like this..."

    "It''s a bit tricky, but Zephus can do it, right?"

    After all, he''s a high-level chef who can reproduce with just a little teaching.

    People like him can probably be called geniuses.

    I think my brothers and sisters are like that too, but when it comes to cooking, I don''t know anyone better than Zephus.

    Well, he''s the head chef of the best chefs in the country, who cooks the royal family''s cuisine, so it might be natural, but...when I''m going to live in my territory, I wonder if I can pull him out...Isn''t it impossible?

    Will my father, mother, and brother not let him go?

    I can''t, and I don''t want to take away an important pillar of my family''s food.

    So will have to secure and teach my own servants as soon as possible.

    From Philia''s house, it seems that some maids will come with Philia, but basically I have to prepare the servants in my territory.

    I should be able to secure a certain amount through family connections, but  I prefer to hire someone I like.

    Then, put the tamagoyaki on top of the plate...yes, it''s done!

    The Square fried eggs is ready.

    Yeah yeah, I like it

    I don''t have chopsticks, so I split it with a fork and took one bite.

    The moderate sweetness is pleasant, and the soft, warm eggs are excellent.

    If it''s normal fried eggs, would it be delicious with grated radish and soy sauce?

    Well, I haven''t gotten my hands on the soy sauce yet, but I''ll soon.

    For me, tamagoyaki with sugar is the best, so I''m very satisfied.

    "Oh, Sirius. Did you make something again?"

    While Zephus next to me was trying to imitate and start making it, my mother, Unexpectedly, appeared in the kitchen.

    Will it be okay with her job?

    "It''s a rolled fried egg, Mother."

    "Tamagoyaki? that square egg dish?"

    "Yeah, how about you try too?"

    "Yes, then, I''ll have it."

    When I present the tamagoyaki that I made to my mother, she elegantly took it to her mouth and ate it.

    Well, it''s delicious."

    "Thank you ."

    "I wonder if this should be added to the menu too... yeah, let''s do it."

    You are a mother who makes decisions quickly.

    Well, if you get used to it, it''s easy to make, it''s delicious, and it''s not a bad thing to have more money in my pocket.

 CH 25

    Today, Philia and I will inspect the territory.

    However, it is just a date in the name of inspection.

    I''ve come to the territory several times to show my face, so I''m used to it to some extent, but It looks like I still get a little nervous in front of people.

    Well, since Philia''s appearance stands out, she must have had a hard time up until now.

    That being said, we don''t seem to need to have any worries about that here...

    ¡°ahh, Sirius-sama! And also Philia-sama!

    "You look good no matter when I look at you"

    "I''m looking forward to your baby."

    The residents who know about me and Philia¡ªor rather, the stores we visit and the residents who call out to us when we''re walking, are all friendly towards us.

    We are still at the engagement stage, but I couldn''t help but find Philia, who smiles happily even though she''s embarrassed when we are treated like a married couple, very cute.

    But I feel like it''s too early for an 8 years olds to have a child ... well, it''s proof that I''m accepted as the future lord and Philia as the future lord''s wife.

    "Ah!  It''s Sirius-sama!  ¡±

    When I visited the orphanage on the way, I received a warm welcome from the children.

    There are many children who want to work for me in the future, which makes me happy, but I tell them that they should be free to choose their own path.

    I won''t force them, so if they really want to come to me, it is up to them.

    But even though ,"to make a choice without regret" is something that an 8 years old will not normally say, everyone nodded seriously, so let''s just say it''s fine.

    ¡°Philia, aren¡¯t you tired?¡±

    On the way, we decided to take a break at a store, and when I asked about it after sitting down, Philia answered with a smile.

    "Yes, but I feel very comfortable here."

    "yes?"

    "Everyone really admires Sirius-sama. There are many people who don''t care about my appearance, so I think it''s a great city."

    It is nice if my future bride have a favorable impression of the territory.

    Well, it seems that the residents here were quite conscientious even before I came here, and in a sense, rather than my achievements, I guess it''s part of the people''s hearts.

    Philia sits on a chair and strokes Queen the Pegasus.

    There are a lot of people, so Knight the unicorn is hidden, and the phoenix Freya-chan is sitting on my head.

    They have a strong stuffed toy feel to it, but even in this state there are no restrictions on their abilities, so they are also reliable bodyguards.

    You wouldn''t be able to imagine with how one is relaxed on top of my head, or how the other is quiet while being held by Philia, but...

    "Ah, this dessert is delicious."

    ¡°It¡¯s a tart made with white silver peaches, a specialty of our territory.¡±

    Originally, it was called White Peach, but the glitter resembled Philia''s hair, so I decided to rename it.

    Wasn''t there a resistance from the people?  I thought about that too, but maybe they were pleasantly surprised by my desire to please my fianc¨¦e, and it was accepted naturally.

    I took one bite and it was one of the best tarts I have ever eaten.

    "Yeah, it''s delicious. You''re doing a great job."

    When I said that, the owner who was looking at me smiled happily.

    That''s when.

    "Oi oi, what is this store? Every item is so bad that I can''t even eat it."

    Are you in your 30?

    Three ill-mannered adventurers say that while splattering the special dishes on the floor and complaining to the owner.

    "Aren''t you embarrassed as a professional to serve such a dish?  ¡±

    "Please sir customer!"

    "We aren''t fool to pay for this kind of food."

    As far as I can see, all the dishes are quite delicious, but...I see, are you planning to make complaints and beat the price?

    I feel sorry for other adventurers, to have this kind of people as colleagues.

    "... I''m sorry for that. However, you will have to pay for the broken plate."

    "Huh? You''re going to go against us? We''re on good terms with the lord here, so we can quickly destroy this store, you know?"

    No, I don''t know you guys...

    That''s what I say in my heart, but in an instant, the face of the calm shop owner was instantly filled with rage, and the gazes of all the customers in the store who were watching what was going on turned sharp and glared at the three men.

    The three men were confused by the change of the air in the store.

    To those three, the shopkeeper held a kitchen knife in both hands and said with a smile and piercing eyes.

    "It doesn''t matter what kind of hoax you blow, but I can''t accept such demeaning words and deeds against the lord of this territory."

    At those words, "That''s right!", "There''s no way a lord would do such a thing!"

    "Stupid!" Echoed through the store.

    There seemed to be adventurers and soldiers among them, and I could see them preparing their weapons with one hand.

    If things continue like this, it''s going to be troublesome, so after sighing, I stand up and head to the three.

    "Hey, what is it, kid?"

    "Well, as a person, you should refrain from doing bad things like that, right?

    "You fucking kid!"

    A man raised his fists in anger.

    However, the fist didn''t reach, as the adventurers and soldiers who were watching from the side blocked it without me having to do anything.

    "I''m sorry, lord. Are you injured?"

    "Oh, it''s okay. More importantly, I''m sorry to disturb your break, but please capture these three people. The attempted assault on the lord and the threat by using my name to the shop owner. Let''s judge all of them by law."

    "Hey... your kidding..."

    "Shut up! It''s disrespectful to the lord!"

    The three of were surprised at those words, and I said with a sigh.

    "I don''t know if this method worked elsewhere, but I won''t allow such foolish imitations in this territory. That''s why, please take a moment to reflect on your own actions."

    After that, I left the three of them to the guards and departed from the store with Philia.

    "Sirius-sama, are you fine¡­¡±

    "I''m fine. Thank you for your concern."

    "No... Even so, they all believe in Sirius-sama."

    "I''m surprised too."

    When I said that, Philia smiled, "But I believed in Sirius-sama first."

    What a cute fianc¨¦.

    At a later date, after consulting with the adventurer''s guild, the three were to be dismissed as adventurers and fined.

    When the three were released and went out, they were stared at by the people of the territory, and it seems that they left the territory early, probably because they felt uncomfortable, but I don''t know what will happen to them who are no longer adventurers.

    If they fall into banditry, I should probably cut them without hesitation, but I warned him before they were released, so they won''t do anything rashly.

    In the end, my date with Philia was fun, even though there were a few incidents.

 CH 26

    A few days after the inspection date with Philia, it seems that the stupid trio case was closed, so I visited the adventurer''s guild in the territory.

    In this world as well, the job of being an adventurer exists, and each territory has its own branch.

    Basically, adventurer''s guilds and churches are one of the places where no lord can invade.

    Even the country is trying to keep a certain distance.

    Of course, there are mutual contacts, and the lords and countries have the greatest authority, but for the most part the adventurer''s guild and church maintain their own stance.

    Meanwhile, in my territory, it seems that I have built a closer relationship than others.

    Well, this is because I cooperated with both sides when cleaning up the previous management, and I am acquaintances with the adventurers guild''s guild master, receptionists, adventurers, and church priests, and so on.

    So, when I opened the door of the adventurer''s guild, I got a lot of attention.

    "Oh, lord-sama. Do you need to see the  Guild master?"

    In the midst of many gazes, the receptionist who was nearby called out to me like that, and I was immediately led to the Guild master office.

    "Oh, isn''t it, lord-sama. I''m sorry for the stupid trio from the other day."

    He''s a strong, military-looking man with a large physique that makes him feel like a warrior.

    That was my first impression of the Guild master appearance.

    Well, it feels like brother Raul.

    "No, it didn''t affect that much.  That being said, it would be better to seriously stop the foolish imitation and blackmailing of ordinary people."

    "Understand... so what are your requirements for today?"

    "Before that, I have a question... did something happen?"

    When I entered the guild, I felt the rush of the receptionists and the tired face of the Guildmaster, so I asked about it first.

    "No... actually..."

    He seemed to hesitate whether he should speak or not, but he finally spoke as if he had made up his mind.

    "The appearance of ''Thunder Tiger'' was witnessed..."

    Thunder tiger.

    Literally, a tiger wrapped in thunder, a monster that can only defeated by multiple A-rank adventurers.

    A wild animal with magical powers.

    They are called monsters, but the core of their bodies, the magic stone, is the source of their power, and the power used in magic tools.

    Thunder Tiger huh... Lightning magic stones are rare, so I want it.

    "Fuhh, I see. Are you in a rush to organize the subjugation force?"

    "No, that''s..."

    According to Guildmaster, there is currently no A-rank adventurer in town, and there is only one group of B-rank adventurers at best.

    And it seems that the sighting of the Thunder Tiger was confirmed yesterday, and the messager came from a village without a guild to our nearby town on a fast horse to report it.

    "¡­Even if I want to do something about it as soon as possible, I don¡¯t have enough people in my hand, so I am at loss¡­¡±

    "Then, shall I go?"

    "Huh? lord-sama?"

    I received a somewhat confused gaze.

    Well, it''s impossible for an 8-year-old to exterminate monsters equivalent to an A-rank.

    However, since we know each other for the past three years, I can''t really ignore it.

    "Guildmas, how old is the minimal age to get an adventurer''s guild  card?  "

    "It is 12 years old..."

    ¡°If I remember correctly, there are exceptions for nominating territory lords, Guild masters, and high-ranked adventurers.¡±

    "Yes... Um, you''re joking, aren''t you?"

    I snap my fingers in front the skeptical Gilmas.

    Then, the Pegasus, which was wandering around my feet, returned to its original size and spread its beautiful wings.

    "What...! Is it a Pegasus!?"

    The Guildmaster widened his eyes at the appearance of the sacred beast.

    While Queen was rubbing her head against me, she still gave off a dignified atmosphere.

    By the way, Freya-chan above my head kept poking at me as if complaining that I didn''t choose her.

    But it is because, I can imagine, that the appearance of a phoenix will cause  Guilmas to faint...

    "I think that me and her is enough.  I''ll take the magic stones because I want it, but I''ll sell the rest, so how about that?  "

    ¡°¡­I understand.  However, just in case, is it okay if you bring a B-rank adventurer party with you?

    "I don''t mind, but can they promise to keep quiet no matter what I do ?"

    It would be troublesome if an adventurer who changed his base of operations from this territory, spread rumors about it in a strange way, so I will confirm that in advance.

    Well, if it''s B rank, then the thickness of their mouths can be guaranteed to some extent.

    The higher the rank, the higher the standard of evaluation from the guild, which includes personality.

    That''s why it seems that it''s an unspoken rule of this job that people with broken personalities can''t go that far.

    "That''s fine. Those girls are trustworthy."

    Girls?

    Will it be a girls party?

    Well, adventurer parties like that are not uncommon.

    "Okay. Then it''s fine."

    "Then, I''ll make the arrangements right away. They''re here right now, so I will call them up."

    Like that, I was relaxing in my chair, while playing with Queen and Freya who was in her little bird state. And after a knock, four women entered the room.

    "Gilmas, what''s wrong? "

    "What have we done?"

    A lively short-haired woman and a bespectacled witch asked with a troubled look.

    "...probably about the Thunder Tiger."

    "That''s very likely."

    Behind them, an expressionless magician girl with an eyepatch covering one eye, and a slender blonde knight-like gallant woman followed.

    "Oh, about that. I want you guys to accompany me."

    "Is Guildmas going?  But, even if you are there¨D¨DEh!  ?  Pegasus!  ?

    It''s a late reaction, but this is because we were hiding with transparency magic.

    They figured it out just in time.

    This was a request from the Guildmas, but despite being high-ranked adventurers, they were quite surprised that they hadn''t even felt that anything was in the room until just now.

    Moreover, what came out is Pegasus, a sacred beast.

    And then--

    "Huh? Lord-sama?"

    "Wow, it''s true."

    My presence here shouldn''t be abnormal.

    Normally, it can be predicted that he would have consulted the lord about the Thunder Tiger matter.

    In fact, It is normal for the short-haired and glasses-wearing women to react like that, but the other two didn''t seem to think so.

    "... lord-sama, is that Pegasus yours?"

    "Yeah, that''s right."

    "... hey, what''s going on"

    The face of the expressionless eyepatch magician girl after confirming that, moved slightly, and the gallant female knight glares at the Guilmast.

    I thought she was going to say something like a joke at a time like this, but her words were completely different.

    "So much, even though he is the territory lord, how can you entrust the subjugation of the Thunder Tiger to a child!?  ¡±

    ¡°¡­But you do understand, don¡¯t you, Shalltear?¡±

    "Certainly, I know the strength of the lord, but... let alone an adventurer''s job

    this is an adult''s problem!"

    I see, she seems to have a strong sense of justice.

    "Calm down... that''s why you''re a left over, you know?"

    "Shut up! That has nothing to do with this!"

    "No one would want a wife who is so loud."

    Really? For me, she is going to be a good and reliable mother, but... well, everyone has their own tastes.

    Or rather, she seems to know my ability, but why?

    "... Shalltear, stop."

    "But, Cecil. This is..."

    "...The two of us saw lord-sama using magic before. Besides, that Pegasus... definitely stronger than us."

    "Muu, but..."

    "Ah... So, does that mean lord-sama is the owner of that Pegasus?"

    I nod to that question from the short-haired woman.

    "Well, I treat her like my friend and my child. More importantly, regarding the subjugation of the Thunder Tiger, I''ll do it, so I want the four of you to watch over me."

    "Um... But to let a child face of a monster..."

    "That''s right, Ain! "

    The female knight¡­¡­ Shalltear nodded at the short-haired girl¡¯s words and was delighted as if she had gained more allies.

    "Hmm... But Lord-sama is a great magician, isn''t he? Besides, I think it would be the job of Guilmast to decided."

    "...I also agree with Clay."

    At the words of the magician Clay, Cecil, the eyepatch girl, said so as if she was convinced of something.

    "But..."

    "... If you''re that worried, you should protect him, Shalltear."

    "Yeah, maybe that''s not necessary."

    "... Oh, I understand."

    She didn''t seem convinced, but after answering that, Shalltear greated me like a knight.

    It looks like it''s settled.

    Then, I memorize everyone''s faces and names while also introducing myself.

    The female knight from before is named Shalltear, and she often acts as the tank.

    Her large shield and sword were shining white and looked cool.

    The eyepatch magical girl is Cecil.

    She''s the only teenager in this party, and she can use dark magic.

    Dark magic--well, it''s the exact opposite of light, but its effects are mainly cursing the opponent, aggravating injuries, and the pinnacle of it is manipulating even life and death.

    Well, I can use it too, but although this magic is rare, people don''t like it very much, so it seems that she gave up on serving the aristocrats and became an adventurer.

    The other two, the short-haired woman is Ain, and the bespectacled witch is Clay.

    Like a swordsman, Ain is the vanguard, and Clay is the main force behind the rear.

    For my self-introduction, it was almost unnecessary.

    Everyone seems to know that I''m doing this and that in the territory, and Shalltear and Cecil apparently witnessed my magic when I was messing with the territory.

    I see, is that why she believed me when I told them that I am the summoner of the Pegasus?

    "Then, let''s get this done quickly. What about my guild card?"

    ¡°It will take some time¡­ you can get prepared in the meantime.¡±

    "Okay"

    Well, I don''t need any special preparations...However, it can be said that preparation is necessary because of the distance.

    It takes a day even for a horse, so I really want to fly quickly on Pegasus by myself, but I don''t want to leave the four supervisors behind

    That said, if I call the other kids, which will carry  And those  could not carry me, will they sulk and refuse to move?

    It''s frustrating... After all, party play doesn''t suit me.

    Also, it was helpful that everyone immediately nodded when Gilmas told them not to talk about what had happened in this request.

    I''m not guilty of anything, but just in case.

 CH 27

    When I was ready, I decided to walk around the city shortly after Ain and Clay left.

    But...

    "Are you two ready?"

    The female Knight Shalltear and the eyepatch magician Cecil have arrived together for some reason.

    "¡­¡­it is okay.  Ain and Clay will prepare.  Besides, I don''t think it''s necessary this time."

    ¡°Hey, Cecil."

    "Hmm, I don''t mind. As long as it''s not a public place."

    It''s true that she to learn some manner, but it''s not really rude.

    ¡°¡­Yes, Shalltear is too strict."

    "Uh, noisy! I''m just looking for a master!"

    "... And, you will be 30 soon."

    "Don''t say that to me! And I still have four years left!"

    ¡­ So she is about 26?

    For me, I don''t think she too far behind... but maybe it is too late to get married in this world.

    "¡­Lord-sama, how old are you?  ¡±

    "Me? I''m 8 years old..."

    "... the age difference between parent and child"

    "Noisy!"

    They are two very interesting people.

    "Come to think of it, Shalltear''s shield is cool.  Perhaps a shield made from the scales of an albino flying dragon?¡±

    "Um, yes. You know your stuff well."

    "Somehow. But Shalltear is amazing. Isn''t that shield pretty heavy?"

    "... it is okay since she is a gorilla."

    "Who''s a gorilla!"

    It''s a large shield that''s twice as tall as me, but I''m impressed because she always carries it on her back and move agilely.

    "Well, maybe someone who is protected by a beautiful woman like Shalltear will be happy"

    "... do you want to be protected, lord-sama?"

    "Hmm, that''s right. I''m usually full of gaps, so it might be nice to have someone to protect me."

    "You are small but, that can''t be said of your power "

    I am not small.

    "Cecil is a Magician, right?"

    "...Yeah, but I can only use dark magic."

    " isn''t that enough?"

    "... But dark magic has a bad image."

    " I think we should use everything that is useful "

    "...That''s right"

    She has a rather cold feeling, but I think she is an interesting girl to talk with.

    "Is that eye injured?"

    "...Well. Do you want to see it?"

    "Um, if you can show me."

    "Oh, hey...!"

    Before Shalltear could stop her, Cecil turned to me and took off her eyepatch

    Her hidden left eye was so badly burned that it is painful to watch.

    I gently touche her left eye, which can''t see.

    "-!"

    It surprised Cecil, but... Can I try to fix it?

    "Cecil, if you want, I''ll cure you, but how did you get it?...What happened?"

    Cecil is stunned.

    When I thought I was asking too much, she muttered with a trembling voice.

    "¡­¡­Nothing?"

    "Eh?"

    "... don''t you feel sick?"

    Oh, you mean that?

    "I don''t care. So, if there is some meaning behind it, I will leave it as it is, and if there is no particular reason, I will fix it, but what do you think?"

    "... I want you to heal it. It''s that man''s work."

    Apparently, her father did this because he was disgusted with Cecil''s left eye

    Indeed, some parents are cruel.

    I Thought that and fixed it immediately

    With the healing of light magic, the severe wound is instantly healed, and a bright and beautiful golden pupil dwells in her left eye.

    "...it''s so beautiful"

    "Eh¡­¡­?"

    "Oh, I''m sorry. I think it is nice to have this beautiful gold color."

    Cecil was dumbfounded, but immediately after that, she changed her expression from her expressionless to a smug smile and said.

    "...You''re strange"

    "So you will not drop the eyepatch after all."

    "...because it''s a habit"

    Even after her eye was healed, Cecil is still wearing her eyepatch.

    She''s already used to it, and she doesn''t want people to look at her left eye too much.

    Well, that part is sensible, so let''s leave it alone.

    ¡°Come to think of it, Shalltear just said she is looking for a master, right?¡±

    "¡­¡­yes"

    "It also means your marriage partner, right?

    "Of course. I became an adventurer to find that person."

    "... A pipe dream."

    "This is not a pipe dream!"

    Replied, Shalltear at the words of Cecil, who had regained her composure.

    "And I can say something similar to you"

    "... just your imagination."

    "Liar!  You''re also looking for a destined partner¨D¨DMugu!"

    "...it''s already been found"

    Shalltear silently nodded despite her reluctance to Cecil''s words.

    "Well, if it''s Shalltear, I think you''ll find a good person."

    "Is that so?"

    "Yeah, you''re beautiful, and I think it''s good to have both knighthood and femininity."

    "... would you like to be my lord?"

    ¡°Yes.  But, a child like me wouldn''t be able to do it."

    I want someone like this to protect me by my side, but they will also have the right to choose their partner, and I don''t want to force them.

    "...the age difference looks amazing"

    "Noisy!"

    "Well, I don''t care about age.  Or rather, if you fall in love, age is a trivial matter"

    Because of my love for Philia, I''m sure on that point, so there''s nothing to be afraid of.

    "It doesn''t matter if you fall in love..."

    "Shalltear?"

    "-Ha! No no! It''s nothing!"

    What is it...well, okay.

    After that, I returned to the adventurer''s guild with Shalltear, who seemed to be conscious of me, and Cecil, who seemed to be closer than before.

 CH 28

    After finishing the preparations, I received my guild card and headed straight to the place where the Thunder Tiger was sighted.

    However, I have a few concerns...

    "Cecil"

    "¡­¡­what?"

    "... aren''t you too close?"

    It''s a carriage, but my summoned polar bear, which is faster than a horse, is pulling it, but Cecil is sticking right next to me and wouldn''t leave.

    By the way, there were only me, Shalltear, and Cecil in this carriage, and the remaining two, Ain and Clay, were sitting on the driver''s stand.

    Well, I guess it''s uncomfortable to be with a noble like me.

    That''s fine, but what about the fact that Cecil has been sticking to me since a while ago?

    By the way, Shalltear was sitting across from me and was staring at me... Did I do something?

    Hmmm...

    "...Sirius-sama."

    "Hmm? What is it?"

    "...I want to thank you for the treatment."

    The way she calls me has changed from Lord-sama... but that is good.

    Apart from that, I healed because I wanted, so I don''t need to any particular thanks...

    "Hmm, then I''ll think about it."

    "...Yeah, I can also pay with my body."

    "...that''s a story for a few years later."

    ...you''re kidding, right?

    I still have 7 years to be an adult.

    Cecil will be just 20 by then.

    In other words, Cecil is now 13 years old.

    We are  not that far apart in terms of age... Is it just my imagination or the way she is hugging me, seems like she''s interested in me?

    The faintly sweet smell and the feeling of her slightly swollen breasts make my heart pound, probably because I have a low tolerance for women.

    Yeah, she is defenseless because she is dealing with a child, so she shouldn''t have any special feelings for me.

    So, putting Cecil''s actions aside for now...

    "Shalltear"

    "Yes"

    "What''s wrong with you?"

    When I asked her, who is looking restless while glancing at me, Shalltear replied with a nonchalant expression.

    "No, it''s nothing, lord-sama."

    "Ohh?"

    ¡°¡­ Shalltear should also be honest.¡±

    "What are you talking about?"

    "¡­¡­I think that, it¡¯s no good to see him as a child in timelike this, If you miss your chance, it will be too late to regret later. "

    "Noisy "

    Lively as usual.

    ¡°¡­Come to think of it, what is Sirius-sama¡¯s guild rank?¡±

    "Sure, it should have been C rank."

    Adventurers have guild ranks, from the lowest F rank to the highest class S rank, and the rank goes up according to ability and achievements.

    When you first enter the guild, you are usually at the lowest F rank, but in special case like mine, you can directly go to C rank, which makes it easier to receive requests from the guild.

    " C rank is amazing for a new register.  Certainly, Cecil could only be an E rank because of a letter of introduction.¡±

    "... it also had something to do with my age."

    Apparently, Cecil also entered the guild as an exception with an age below 13.

    Well, she currently in B rank, so it is that  surprising.

    "...By the way, Sirius-sama, do you have a fianc¨¦e?"

    "Yes"

    "... What about Concubines?"

    "I''ve been told that I have to take one, but I don''t even have a candidate yet."

    "... Then there might be a chance."

    Cecil nodded.

    Well, it would be nice to have a woman like Cecil or Shalltear as my concubine.

    It''s fun to interact with them, and they make you feel at ease.

    Above all, each of them has their own charm, and even if there is a difference in social status, they can get along well with Philia without prejudice... Well, they probably only think of me as a child.

    Depending on the person, there may be people who will be happy to be married to me, but I don''t think the two of them are that type, and I also don''t think there is such a person in my territory.

    It''s the feeling I felt during the inspection.

    They''re all nice people.

    "Huh? Is this one also belongs to lord-sama?"

    Suddenly, Shalltear asked such a question.

    Looking up, the unicorn, knight was sitting on Shalltear''s lap.

    "... it wasn''t here until just now."

    "It was on my lap before I knew it..."

    Unicorns only appear in front of pure maidens.

    In other words, they''re both pure maidens... yeeh, don''t think about it.

    Everyone has a different way to live, but I think it''s good that they have a strong sense of chastity.

    The Queen, the pegasus, who has become smalleris on my lap, and Freya, the phoenix on my head.

    It must have gone on Shalltear''s lap because there wasn''t any more space, but Shalltear, whose expression softens at the cuteness, is really lovely.

    "...Sirius-sama, maybe that is..."

    "Hmm, I''ll tell you about that later."

    Apparently, Cecil seems to have noticed something.

    Aside from whether or not I really tell them, the fact that Knight has appeared in front of them means that they are kind-hearted and sincere.

    Then maybe we can get along even better in the future.

    However, since it did not appear in front of the other two people, it could be seen that it opened its heart to only these two.

    Well, it may just be that the previous two are experienced, but they have a high passing score on Knight''s standard.

 CH 29

    (T/N: I will replace the name of Regulus second daughter from Duwa to Suna starting from now)

    "Haa... it feels good"

    "I agree"

    Philia took Cecil and Shalltear to the bath, so I thought I''d take it easy and wait... did you think I will peep?

    Why should I do something so low?

    I don''t intend to accidentally step into the women''s bath or do anything that would make you envious....Yes, I felt like a sage, and for some reason, my brother took me to the men''s bath.

    He said, "Why don''t you take it easy with your brother for once?" I''m not the kind of brother who would refuse an invitation, so I had no choice but to nod.

    "But Sirius is really capable."

    "It''s not the first time, is it?"

    ¡°I know."

    Regulus-nii-sama, who smiles sweetly, has a figure that a woman would surely be fascinated by, but unfortunately I''m a man, so I just will affirm how good-looking Nii-sama is.

    I''m like that, but right now, I am secretly fantasizing about what is going on in the women''s bath next door.

    Philia''s immature fruit, Cecil''s lean style, and Shalltear''s nice figure with just the right amount of muscle.

    Hmmm, I wonder if it''s good or not.

    "By the way, Sirius, do you have any intention of increasing the number of concubines?"

    To me, who was satisfied with that mental imagine alone, Regulus-niisama said such a thing.

    "How about you, brother?"

    "I don''t need more... or rather, it''s hard already to have two, so it will cause problems to have more."

    My brother seems to be far from lustful, just like our father.

    So am I.

    ¡­¡­you think I am lying?

    Because I can''t move my fingers on someone I don¡¯t like.

    "Raul-nii-san seems to have the same feeling as me. Even though he looks lascivious, he has no sense of incongruity."

    "Well, sure."

    If it''s just my brother Raul''s appearance, it wouldn''t be unnatural to think that he has several women to attend him, but it seems that two wives are enough for him.

    I once saw him laughing, saying, "If I have time for that, I should practice more!", it seems that Regulus-niisama will have a hard time after becoming the king, but as a younger brother, I have can only cheer him on.

    "You''re saying that kind of talk is coming to brother? So, you want to force it on me to some extent"

    "Well"

    Two people, including the legal wife and concubine, are too few!  ¡­¡­ Under that pretext, the nobles would probably want to offer their daughter to my older brothers.

    "No, a political marriage is a bit..."

    "Well, I guess so."

    (T/N: I don''t understand why some royalty and aristocrats refuse arranged marriage, since it is a little price to pay for the privilege they received since they were born.)

    Here, the good thing about my brother and family is that they don''t force things on me.

    Of course, if I had to, I might accept a political marriage, but at the moment, I don''t think there''s anyone who would benefit from a political marriage, and it would be troublesome if a strong-willed daughter of higher status were to come.

    She did be of a higher status than Philia''s, and if someone asked to have his daughter become the legal wife, I''m afraid that I might hit that nobleman without hesitation.

    That''s the troublesome part of being a noble, but... well, it is a good thing that I will not succeed to the throne, and my family probably won''t try to force me, who can amass money with various ideas.

    "Haa... Well, at least I have to get another one... But it''s troublesome, so I guess I''ll find another way to avoid it. Come to think of it, Sirius, do you have any intention of marrying my daughters?"

    Nii-sama suddenly said such a dangerous thing.

    An older brother recommending his daughter to his younger brother... Amazing, I gave a wry smile while admitting that this was a different world.

    ¡°Normally, won''t you be more picky about who you marry your cute daughter to?¡±

    "Well, that''s true, but... as a parent, it would be sad if they go abroad like Rosa, and it would be safer if they stay with Sirius."

    So the reason is that they could meet at any time with teleportation magic.

    For some reason, Brother Regulus is also a daughter Lover.

    "It may be unavoidable for them to have a political marriage, but I also have an uncle''s heart that want to let the two marry for love."

    "Then you don''t have to worry about it, is it? Tiffany always said, [I''m going to get married to my uncle!], to which Suna would nod."

    Well, it''s a normal for young children, to say that about someone they really admire.

    ¡­¡­ Can I, who has a goddess as first love, say that is a different matter?

    It can''t be helped, I died without having that kind of feeling.

    That''s why we enjoy love in this world!

    Ah, I don''t need to pay attention to other, and I''m just going to convey my love straight.

    A world where you can say you like when you like...it''s a luxury, isn''t it?

    "Well, think about it. You don''t hate them, do you?"

    "Well, they are my cute niece."

    "Fufu, Sirius really doesn''t look like an uncle."

    Well, I am aware.

    I am too young, and Tiffany and Suna are more like brother-sister or cousin-sister when they are with me.

    And so, I talked about various things with my brother, but he was tired and almost fell asleep because of the comfort of the hot water.

    Well, he is working ahead of schedule, so it can''t be helped.

    Even though I care about my brother,

    I''m more excited to see what my 3 fianc¨¦s look like directly after coming out of the bath.

    It''s okay, be honest with your desires.

    Well, I won''t say it out loud.

    I also don''t have the courage to say it out loud, so I will just enjoy it silently.

    In particular, Philia''s bath is rare, so I''m looking forward to taking a bath together after our marriage.

    Hang on for a few more years.

 CH 30

    I became an adventurer when I was 15.

    I was born in a very ordinary family, but I had a dream from an early age.

    It''s all about finding a master to serve.

    As a knight, you serve a single person and dedicate everything, including yourself as a woman, to that person.

    My brother was the first to comment to it.

    My cheeky little brother said, ``no one will want a rugged woman like you,'''' so I silenced him with my fist.

    My father gave me a quizzical look, saying, "Oh...well, do your best," while my mother said, "Please marry normally!"  ¡¯ and it was the end of it.

    When I turned 15, I turned away from my mother, who offered me a matchmaking, and became an adventurer.

    I really wanted to become a knight in my country, but a female knight was too high a hurdle for me at that time

    It wasn''t a job that a commoner like me could do, but it was mostly a job that noble daughters would do for fun or because they don''t want to get married.

    The only way left for was being an adventurer, to which I could easily get used to.

    I am reasonably tall and strong.

    When you think of knights, you think of swords, but I admired shields just as much, so I decided to become a knight with a large shield as my main weapon.

    The work itself was not that difficult, and my rank went up year by year.

    However, no matter how many parties I formed, I could not find my ideal lord.

    I have formed parties with A-rank adventurers several times, but there were many people who were just strong and had nothing to be attracted to, and my age increases in proportion to my rank.

    Male adventurers often made fun of me, and I punished them with my fists from time to time, so men keeps getting further and further away.

    Apart from that, I''m not interested in men of that status...

    "... Shalltear''s ideals are too high."

    Cecil, which whom I recently formed a party, is a little strange, but strangely enough, we got along.

    However, I don''t think there is a problem with my ideal.

    I want the best for my life, so I think it''s natural.

    But when I said this, Cecil shook her head and answered.

    ¡°¡­Normally, you compromise to some extent. No one is perfect."

    Certainly, I do understand what she is saying.

    I''m already in my late 20''s.

    I feel impatient, but I can''t easily throw away my ideals and dreams.

    But when I stated to think that he would never appear, he appeared in front of me.

    It was when the four members of my current party came to the adventurer''s guild to receive a request.

    Somehow, when I thought that the guild was a little noisy that day, we received a request to subjugate a thunder tiger.

    It''s a rare monster, so I thought that an A-rank adventurer would do it with us, but another adventurer said that it seems that there is no one right now.

    ¡­¡­I had a bad feeling.

    While I was thinking that, a familiar receptionist called out to me and said that Gilmas was calling us.

    When I headed to the room, I felt a little strange, but as expected, the request was about Thunder Tiger.

    While Ain was reluctant to talk about it, he suddenly appeared on the spot.

    He has smooth brown hair and a well-maintained face that looks like a girl at first glance.

    That person, who had a certain dignity and a gentle aura, was Sirius Slaind, the lord of this territory and the third prince of the Slaind Kingdom.

    Moreover, next to him was a sacred beast called pegasus, and I was amazed by its divineness.

    From him and Gilmas, we were entrusted with the role of witnessing the subjugation.

    Before, when I was walking around the town with Cecil, I saw the lord was using magic.

    In fact, I knew it was a high level magic even with my layman''s eye because his overwhelming ability, which was far from that of a magician I knew.

    But no matter how strong the lord is, I think it is too insane to let a child fight.

    Cecil reprimands me for that, and we agree with Gilmas'' request.

    And after introducing ourselves, Cecil and I took separate actions from Ain and Clay, who had both left for preparations.

    I wanted to know more about Sirius-sama, the lord, and Cecil also went to Sirius-sama as if expecting something.

    Our wishes have yielded results beyond our expectations.

    What I learned from talking to him was that he was close to the ideal master I was looking for.

    He''s gentle, uses his powers correctly, and I felt easy talking with him - he is that kind of person.

    However, the lord''s age is 8 years old.

    On the other hand, I just turned 26.

    In terms of age, it wouldn''t be strange to call us parent and child.

    He said something unexpected to me who was worried about such a thing.

    "When you fall in love, age doesn''t matter."

    I was overly conscious of those words.

    In contrast to me, Cecil, who had her eyes healed, began to actively approach him.

    Apparently, Cecil was attracted to the lord who cleared the darkness she was carrying.

    I was so conscious that it was difficult to look at his face directly.

    Besides... I''ve lost my self-confidence now that I''m not feminine enough to be attractive.

    I feel sorry for myself.

    Inside the carriage, I was soothed by a small fluffy stuffed animal that appeared from nowhere, and I thought of myself as a shame.

    And when we got to the Thunder Tiger, Sirius-sama began to say that he would defeat him himself.

    I was surprised because I thought Pegasus would do it, but Cecil calmly asked him if  he could take her along.

    But I thought it was impossible.

    However, Sirius-sama said with a smile that it was possible.

    ¨D¨DIn that case, I want to be close to him even just a little.

    Before I knew it, I also requested to go with him.

    Ain and Clay looked at us in disbelief, but after Sirius-sama confirmed that he can protect us, they nodded.

    Sirius-sama confronted the Thunder Tiger, and even appeared to have some spare strength left.

    Cecil and I were protected by Sirius-sama''s magic wall, but I sensed a sudden approach from behind and reflexively held up my shield.

    Surprisingly, another Thunder Tiger appeared from behind.

    I was surprised at the strong blow that I could not have received without Sirius-sama''s magic wall, but I managed to hold up my shield against the Thunder Tiger that was chasing at us.

    ¨D¨DIs it really this powerful ?

    Even the previous blow would have been dangerous without Sirius-sama''s magic wall.

    Moreover, I didn''t know if my shield could block lightning.

    I was prepared to die, but at the very least I tried to protect Cecil, but suddenly Sirius-sama carried me and I escaped from a certain death.

    That''s right¡ªfor the first time in my life, I was carried like a princess.

    Sirius-sama smiled at me who I was flustered and said that I was light.

    Thinking that this was the first time someone had said such a thing to me, I instinctively asked him if he disliked rough, unfeminine older women.

    And Sirius-sama said to me, "I like people like Shalltear."

    At that moment, I knew.

    This person is the Lord I want to serve.

    After that, the battle with the Thunder Tiger ended with Sirius-sama''s overwhelming victory, and he did the same to Cecil, who was envious of me being held like a princess.

    With that body, he could easily hold me and Cecil¡­ is it magic?

    But more than that, I asked if he was telling the truth when he said "I want a knight like me" while we were shopping.

    Knowing that was the case, I proposed.

    Please be my master.

    Sirius-sama nodded with a smile while being slightly surprised.

    Cecil also asked Sirius-sama to stay by his side.

    Maybe I have a strange connection with her.

    Shalltear, 26 years old¨D¨DThis was the very moment when I fulfilled my fateful encounter.

 CH 31

    A few days after the Thunder Tiger subjugation, I was relaxing in my room.

    It''s been a long time since I did that kind of exercise, but it was relatively fun, so maybe I''ll make some pocket money this way in my free time.

    knock Knock.

    As I was thinking about that, Cecil entered the room wearing a maid outfit.

    "...Sirius-sama, letter."

    "Yeah, thank you, Cecil. And how Shalltear?"

    "...Training with the Knight Commander"

    "Well then, let''s go get it."

    I got up from the bed, received the letter, and headed to the kitchen while reading it.

    The content wasn''t a big deal, so I decided it wasn''t necessary to keep it and burned it on the spot, then made a quick sandwich and brought it to Shalltear.

    Um, after the Thunder Tiger subjugation, pulling out Shalltear and Cecil difficult... but not really.

    Their two party members said that it was okay to form a new party, and sent them off with a smile.

    And when I told Gilmas that I want these two B-rank adventurers, he readily accepted.

    He seemed to know the circumstances of the two, and said that it was rather good.

    That''s why Shalltear and Cecil are officially on my side.

    For the time being, Cecil became my exclusive maid, and Shalltear became my royal knight as she wished.

    She could have been an escort by my side all the time, but since it was a good deal, I asked the Commander of the Knights for guidance during her spare time.

    He is also my mentor and I know his personality well.

    If someone seemed promising, he would be happy to teach them, so I decided to leave it to him.

    Well, of course, her main job is being my bodyguard.

    ¡°Shalltear, good job¨D¨D¡±

    "- Sirius-sama."

    After bowing to the Knights Commander, she heard me calling her out , and Shalltear immediately flew over towards me.

    It was so fast that I was surprised, and I almost misunderstood that this was a guidance from the Knights Commander... Suddenly, I found dirt on my face, so I wiped it off with a handkerchief.

    "¡­¡­ Very sorry"

    "Okay, you are working hard, didn''t you? Good job."

    "¡­¡­ Yes"

    Shalltear was embarrassed, but smiled.

    Even though she''s older than me, I really think she''s a cute person.

    ¡°¡­ Shalltear is cunning.¡±

    "... Coincidence"

    "...Sirius-sama,  me too ."

    "Yes yes"

    I even stroked Cecil''s head at her cute request.

    Both of them are older than me, but somehow I want to love them like this.

    "Oh, Your Highness!  Look like you are having fun!  ¡±

    As I was doing that, Diavo, the leader of the Knights of this country, loosened his grim face and called out to me.

    "Hey, Diavo. Thank you for guiding Shalltear."

    "No no! To marry such a prospective girl, even His Highness is an observant eye!"

    Gahaha!  Shalltear looked a little embarrassed at Diavo who laughed.

    ¡­¡­Well, does it look like I am surrounded by two beauties?

    Both of them are my new bodyguards and caretakers on the surface, but I also end up looking like I am surrounded by concubines or lovers.

    For the time being, I introduced the two to my fianc¨¦, Philia, and it seemed like they could get along well.

    Basically, that girl is a good girl, so it seems like she''ll be fine as long as they don''t have an excessive personality.

    After having a light talk with the Knights Commander, the three of us picked the snack sandwiches I made for eating outside.

    Originally, it was not good for the two of them to eat with me, but... for some reason, it made me feel less lonely and it''s fun, so I invited them.

    I felt like I was bothering them if there was something else they wanted to do, but both of them told me that they did be happy to eat with me, so I invited them without hesitation.

    Well, as for me, if Philia and the others are fine, I wonder if I can welcome them as a concubine... I have this little idea.

    ..... you can look down on me, but I want you to understand that I''m a title timid.

    I want to say something many like "Come to me!" But If I say it without knowing their feelings, there is a possibility that it will backfire, so refrain from that.

    If I have to pick up a concubine anyway, it''d be nice to have a nice woman like these two.

    There may be people who care about the age difference, but... I don''t care about the age difference itself if it''s a woman I like.

    At the very least, I have a strong belief that no matter what the Goddess-sama or Philia look like, it doesn''t matter as long as I love them.

    I''ve only just gotten to know the two of them, but I think we''ve built a good relationship.

    I am weird, but... no matter what the outfield is like, I''ve decided to live as I please in this world.

    I don''t want to go back to be the company slaves of those days anymore.

    Live freely without disturbing my family.

    So, they will let me choose my concubines freely.

    ¡­¡­However, since their feelings are important, I won¡¯t force them.

    I''ll just say this, but for now, it''s much better to have two people to whom I have a high degree of affection for than to welcome another lady who I don''t know as concubine.

    My harem legend begins here!

    ¡­but that will be a little later.

    "Do you like it?"

    "...Yeah, it''s delicious."

    "Yes, it''s delicious, Sirius-sama."

    "Then that''s good"

    For the time being, it is nice that I will have fewer occasions where I eat alone.

    That''s how I truly feel.

 CH 32

    "I am screwed up...!"

    I suddenly look up at the sky.

    At this point, I am forced to pay the price.

    How heartless...

    The beginning of things was my usual whim.

    Looking at the potato starch, I remembered a recipe, mixed the strong flour and soft flour together, kneaded the dough, and let it rest overnight.

    At this point, I was completely unaware of the problem.

    However, when it was time to prepare the ingredients! I noticed it when I was ready.

    Yes - no soy sauce.

    Gugh... it is a payback for what I put off...

    "I can''t help it"

    "... It''s interesting to see Sirius-sama like this."

    Cecil summarized my despair, grief, and resignation with the word ``interesting''''.

    Yeah, I don''t mind that kind of thing.

    With that said, let me announce what I am making... yes!  Boiled dumplings!  (Applause C''monne!)

    Hey?  Isn''t it just dumplings?

    In my opinion, it ranks high on the list of things I want to eat even though it''s spicy, along with takoyaki.

    I ate them once a month when I was a company slave because I could confirm that I was still alive when I eat something hot and spicy.

    Well, I couldn''t go buy it, so it was handmade.

    "Cecil, help me wrap it up."

    "¡­¡­yes"

    When making dumplings by hand, depending on the number of dumplings, the wrapping can be bulky.

    So I asked Cecil to help me.

    She is quite skillful, and she wrapped the dumplings neatly without any particular difficulty.

    And then, I prepared the pot, and made boiled dumplings, but... it''s a pity.

    It''s too bad that I can''t eat it with ponzu  soy sauce or other soy sauce... I don''t really like sour things, but I know that spicy food with soy sauce is delicious.

    Well, I ate a lot of sour and spicy foods to keep me awake, which lead to me hurting my stomach... but that''s the past, let''s forget about it.

    Hmm, I really want to get the soy sauce as soon as possible.

    I want rice too.

    I want to make fried rice once in a while.

    Ah!  Thinking about it again, isn''t Japanese food actually amazing?

    After all, it''s difficult for an amateur like me to raise the level of food to that of my first  life.

    Well, I wish I could only eat what I want to eat.

    It''s fine to make mayonnaise, but I don''t want to eat it.

    However, I succumbed to the pressure from my mother and made it to eat the vegetables, but I did not forget to be careful because I will gain weight if I eat too much.

    Mayonnaise is a double-edged sword...

    "...Sirius-sama, it looks delicious."

    "Want to taste?"

    "¡­¡­yes"

    When scooping it up with a ladle and get on the plate, the steam is spectacular .

    "Be careful, it''s hot--"

    "¨D¨D¨D¨D!¨D¨DAfu, afu¨D¨D!?"

    Is it too late...the hot dumpling is

    probably dancing wildly in her mouth.

    Just in case, I gave her some water and she drank it up vigorously.

    "... I thought I was going to die."

    " Sorry, you ate it before I could warn you."

    "...Sirius-sama, ah"

    Oops, come on.

    Phew, but it doesn''t work for me!

    "Amu... yeah, it''s delicious."

    "... Muu, did you use magic?"

    Before I put it in my mouth, I let out a little bit of cool air to offset the heat.

    "... but this is fun"

    As I was triumphant in my heart, Cecil brought a boiled dumpling to my mouth again.

    I ate it reflexively, but it wasn''t hot enough to writhe, probably because it had cooled down a bit.

    Hmm, but I still want ponzu soy sauce...

    "...Sirius-sama, I''ll call Shalltear."

    After being fed until she was quite full, Cecil went to call Shalltear.

    I see, the next target is her...

    "Sirius-sama, did you call me?"

    After waiting for a while, Shalltear quietly entered the kitchen and served.

    ¡°Shalltear, I made some food, would you like to try it?¡±

    ¡°Sirius-sama¡¯s handiwork¡­¡­yes! By all means!¡±

    ¡­¡­ Sorry, I can''t imagine eating hot boiled dumplings with those sparkling eyes.

    "It''s hot, so be careful."

    "yes!¡­¡­!?"

    Shalltear ate vigorously without cooling down.

    The hot contents naturally ran over her mouth, and she desperately tried to hide it, making her a little teary eyed.

    It''s cute, but as expected, it is hard to watch, so I gave her some water.

    "Haa... Ah, thank you very much. It is very delicious."

    "Well, it is nice if that is the case."

    "...Yeah, it was really good."

    Cecil, who had just arrived, had a satisfied expression as if she had seen what Shalltear was doing just now.

    "...Sirius-sama, are you going to bring this to Philia-sama too?"

    Naturally, the two of them also know about space magic and teleportation magic, so that question is natural.

    "Hmm, she must be busy today, so maybe tomorrow.¡±

    "... do you know her schedule?"

    " Roughly."

    Also, a plan to live with Philia in the territory before our marriage is secretly underway.

    On the surface, it will be to enter the territory early and get used to it, but the real intention is that I just want to be with Philia.

    I''m planning to do it when I am around 13 years old, but the wedding is scheduled when I''m an adult at 15 years old.

    Until then, I can''t get my hands on it, but... I don''t think I''ll be in a hurry.

    If I can spend time relaxing with Philia, Cecil, and Shalltear, it''s not a bad thing.

    Rather, I want a relaxing life.

    By the way, when it comes to the school, I''m supposed to enter ahead of time.

    Originally, students were required to enter the school from the age of 12, but an exception was granted due to the ability of Philia and I.

    With regards to magic, she''s improved considerably under my guidance, and she''s also excellent in academics, so Philia is amazing.

    10 years old... In other words, two years from now, Philia and I will and enter the academy.

    I was going to look for a concubine candidate there, but...well, I don''t think I should worry too much about that.

    Later, I had Philia eat the boiled gyoza, but as expected, I could not bear to her with such red eyes, so I cooled it down for her.

    Cecil and Shalltear seemed confused by this treatment, but they seemed happy when I did the same thing later.

    It''s lovely like that.

 CH 33

    Today, the two of us are slowly enjoying tea at Philia''s house.

    She talks about silly things, and the time passes peacefully...this is what I had longed for in my two previous lives.

    Yeah, I like it, it''s great.

    When I was thinking about that, I suddenly saw a blank piece of paper on the desk and had an epiphany

    "Philia, is it okay if I use this paper?  ¡±

    "Um, yes. It''s okay."

    Philia seems to be wondering if I want to write a letter, but I cut the paper with a knife to make it square, and she seems to realize that it is not it.

    Shalltear and Cecil, who were standing behind me, were also looking at my hands to see what I am doing.

    While receiving such curiosity, I quickly completed what I was making.

    "Wow...! That''s amazing! Is it a bird?"

    "Well, cranes are birds."

    That''s right, I made origami... and the classic crane.

    In my first previous life, I was made to acquire this kind of skill in order to win the hearts of the guest''s children at the inn, and I remember making cranes so much that I probably will never forget.

    I don''t know how many times I''ve made a thousand paper cranes that I hated it and didn''t even want to see paper anymore!

    ¡­¡­ it was bad, but origami is not guilty.

    It should be considered that the root of all evil was in the black labor system and my parents of my previous life.

    In addition, I should blame the misery of my second life on that country and the princess.

    (T/N: Sorry, but you only have yourself to blame there)

    Just remembering it makes me tremble, so I calm myself down with the face of  Goddess-sama, who is my redemption, and the reaction of my cute fianc¨¦, Philia.

    By the way, I also like the interesting reaction of Cecil and Shalltear.

    ¡°Would Philia like to make one too?¡±

    "Um... can I do it too?"

    "It''s easy once you know the trick."

    ¡°Then, wait a second ¡­  Cecil-san, Shalltear-san how about doing it together?¡±

    The two were surprised by the unexpected invitation, and Cecil asked with a bit of confusion.

    "... Um, are you sure?"

    "Yes, I don''t mind. Besides, I want to get along with you two"

    It''s strange, I could hear the small words "for the future" attached to it with deep meaning.

    Well, maybe I am imagining things.

    At those words, the two looked at me for confirmation, so when I nodded, the four of us started to make origami.

    Here, Philia and Cecil are equally dexterous.

    Philia, who is serious and obedient, and Cecil, who is dexterous with her hands, remembered and made it in no time once I taught them.

    The last one left is Shalltear... although it was a tough fight, she managed to complete it.

    "... Shalltear, you''re late."

    "Guh...! You''re too fast!"

    ¡°¡­But both Sirius-sama and Philia-sama are at the same pace.¡±

    "Well, this kind of thing is not fit for everyone, so it can''t be helped. Well then, I think I''ll show the three of you one of my best creations by applying this."

    When I draw attention to me, I arrange a piece of paper smaller than my little finger into a square.

    I can''t cut it with a knife, so I have to be very careful ... I manage to finish it while being careful not to tear it.

    "Umm... maybe you''re making a small one ?"

    Even if it becomes smaller, the folding procedure does not change.

    However, if it is this thin and small, it is easy to tear and difficult to fold.

    It is difficult even with my small hands, so isn''t it amazing that I was able to successfully do this normally when I was an adult?

    Well, no one complimented me.

    I''m sure I''m a child who grows when praised.

    ¡­¡­You will not say that you grow better in a harsh environment, right?

    That life where I could only die prematurely was already that plain.

    And so, while the three held their breath as they watched, the masterpiece miniature crane was finally completed.

    "This is... amazing."

    "...Yeah, Sirius-sama is skillful."

    "You''re amazing, Sirius-sama."

    Right now, I was desperately suppressing myself from smiling foolishly.

    I''m tired of hearing compliments from nobles at parties, but I am overjoyed and pleased to receive praise from my relatives.

    "Then, I''ll give this to Philia."

    "Are you sure?"

    "Well, I can make it again."

    If the two of them want it, I can make it after going back home.

    "Uu... I''m jealous of you two."

    "... Philia will be able to live with us in a few more years."

    "I see... Sirius-sama, I will be in your care at that time."

    I don''t know what it is, but I can''t say NO to Philia, so I answered "I understand."

    You want to say that I am the kind of person who can''t say no to begin with, right?

    No, that in my previous life was forced, so there was no way I could escape.

    (T/N: No, you could)

    That''s why I''m going to say it clearly when I don''t something in this world.

    Well, I probably won''t turn down requests from Philia and the others, and I am sure it shouldn''t happen, unless there''s something really wrong.

    After that, I taught other animals that I could remember, but the jumping frog was relatively popular.

    It''s a pity that there are no colors, but...well, I wonder if this kind of thing is just right for play.

    By the way, later, my nieces discovered origami and I had to make one for them... but it can''t be helped because they are for my cute nieces.

    (T/N: I really don''t like when the MC says "it can''t be helped " and there are many instances when I completely erase that sentence or switch it with another)

 CH 34

    A famous jewelry store in the royal capital.

    Normally, I''d bring Shalltear, my bodyguard, and Cecil, my maid, but this time, I came alone.

    I could have asked the merchant who often come to the royal castle, but the two of them would have suspected something.

    Even without an escort, there is no danger, so after walking around the royal capital for a while, I headed here.

    "This is this, Your Highness. I''ve been waiting for you."

    " Is the goods ready?"

    "Yes, it''s done."

    When I was guided to the back, I immediately saw the goods.

    I ordered 3 rings.

    One is a beautiful silver ring with orange and blue decorations.

    The other two are a beautiful ring with yellow decorations and a pure white simple ring.

    These three rings were made from the highest grade magic stones that I have obtained.

    It takes a lot of time and money to process a magic stone into a ring, but because of that, the finished product is quite good, and it is worth even if you just use it as normal accessories.

    Other than that, it''s convenient to stock magic power and use a little of the magic stone''s power, but why did I ask for this?

    Well, in order to gift it to Philia, Cecil, and Shalltear.

    I will ask Philia to accept it as her engagement ring.

    For Cecil and Shalltear... yeah, it''s a ring for a proposal.

    After spending some time together, I came to the conclusion that it would be nice to be with them.

    Naturally, I have already consulted with Philia.

    I wondered if she would get mad at me, but she easily agreed that it would be fine to take them in.

    She is really a good wife.

    The prince''s concubine position is troublesome, and the possibility of being refused is not impossible, but... it would be nice if I hit the mark on the first try.

    I will tell them how I feel, I can''t do anything if it doesn''t work.

    I don''t know if they''ll accept a marriage proposal from a child, but at least make the reservation.

    "Yeah, that''s great."

    "Thank you"

    "That''s it. As for this matter... you know?"

    "Of course, I know."

    I don''t mind if this matter leaks out, but it would be a problem if those troublesome nobles begin to have some ideas.

    It would be troublesome if they brought their daughters and said, ``Then please  take her as a concubine too.''''

    Even at parties, there are still people trying to force their daughters into becoming my concubine...or some people trying to push Philia aside and aim for her legal wife position, so it''s annoying.

    The things I create with my hobbies and moods are generating infinite money, so I guess they want some benefit from me.

    Also, the status of being married to the third prince or the status of duchess.

    The daughters who are used are also pitiful, but I guess this is the creature called aristocrats.

    I''m so lucky to have an understanding family.

    "Speaking of which, what happened to that?"

    "Oh, that one is also perfectly done ."

    After saying that, the owner handed me a pendant.

    I ordered a separate item from the engagement ring, so I received a beautiful pendant with a silver design and tried it on.

    Yeah, pretty good

    When I looked in the mirror, I thought it might be unsuitable for a child... but I will get used to it.

    Well then, let''s go to its actual performance.

    "Then, I''m sorry, but I''ll trie it to confirm."

    "Yes, I understand."

    If you want to know, I need to put magical power into the pendant.

    Then I disappeared from the mirror.

    "Oh... that''s amazing. Let alone seeing, you can''t even feel the presence."

    I walk briskly and open the door, but the shop owner doesn''t even notice it and continued to talks toward the place where I was.

    Yes, the effect of this pendant is complete concealment.

    It has the power to hide everything from appearance, presence, magical power, footsteps, even the slightest sound of what I''m touching.

    The magic stone used is the stealth dragon''s magic stone.

    This stealth dragon has a timid personality and stays hidden all year round, making it a difficult dragon to find.

    I also succeeded in finding it by chance, so I asked for it to be processed... and with this, it will be more secure when I go out.

    What''s more, it''s too convenient because it hides the things and the voices and sounds of people I am touching.

    In fact, with the cooperation of the shopkeeper, I tried it with employees and customers, but no one could find us.

    However, with this strength, the amount of magical power consumed is enormous.

    From my point of view, it doesn''t consume much, but it might be difficult for a normal magician to put it into practical use.

    Well, nevertheless, it seems that there will be a lot of trouble if the copies of such items is circulated.

    It''s perfect for spying and peeping.

    Shouldn''t a healthy boy be interested in peeping?

    But I don''t really want to see the skin of a woman I don''t know... My heart throbs precisely because I like the person, and I don''t care if I see the skin of someone I don''t care about...

    (T/N: Maybe you will begin to care after seeing )

    Aren''t I boring?

    The other day, when I accidentally witnessed the scene where Shalltear and Cecil changed clothes, my heart started pounding.

    Philia seems to be growing step by step, and the quality of her lap pillow is improving year by year.

    Yes, she is not withering.

    Well, it''s hard to not have any desire if you''re mentally and physically healthy .

    Desire for sleep... yes

    Desire to eat... yes

    Sexual desire¡­¡­Yes (only those I favor)

    ¡­¡­that?  Only sexual desire feels strange... Well, it''s normal, right?

    Yeah okay!

    That''s how I started the present plan.

 CH 35

    "...Sirius-sama, where were you?"

    When I came back to my room, Cecil asked me with a slightly sullen look.

    Well, we''ve been spending a lot of time together lately.

    "I had a little thing to do. Cecil, why don''t we go out for a bit?"

    "... Understood. I''ll call Shalltear."

    "No, just the two of us this time."

    Even though Cecil was surprised by those words, she nodded happily.

    So now.

    Cecil and I were walking together in the royal capital.

    "Cecil, what do you want to eat?"

    "... I''ll leave it to Sirius-sama."

    "Well, then, I know a delicious stall, let''s go there."

    The two of us naturally hold hands and walk together.

    "... Sirius-sama is bold today."

    "Do you hate it like this?"

    "... If I didn''t like it, I would have shaken you off."

    Even if we walk hand in hand like this, don''t we still look like brothers and sisters?

    That might be the case with Cecil and Shalltear.

    Even with Philia, there is a high possibility that we can be seen as good brothers and sisters.

    In our territory, they treat us as fianc¨¦s and married couples, but it''s hard to say that it will be the case elsewhere.

    Well, eventually I''ll become a nice handsome man......It will be difficult, but I will eventually become a bitter adult man.

    ...... Huh? That''s not it?

    No, I don''t know what the future holds.

    Yeah, anything can happen.

    But I will not give up hope.

    "Hey, Cecil. Can I ask you something?"

    "¡­¡­ What?"

    ¡°You said that you wanted to be by my side¡­¡­ it wasn''t a lie, right?¡±

    "...? Of course, that''s why I''m here now."

    "I see¡­¡­"

    I gently touch Cecil''s eyepatch and take it off to look at her beautiful gold.

    Even though she was surprised by my actions, Cecil turned her golden eyes toward me.

    Looking into Cecil''s eyes, I conveyed my thoughts in simple words.

    "I like you"

    "..."

    "I want you to be my fianc¨¦."

    "¡­¡­Really?"

    "I don''t tell lies"

    I took it out of my pocket.

    Cecil''s is a yellow ring made by processing a thunder magic stone, the magic stone of the previous Thunder Tiger.

    It is perfect to convey my sincerity.

    "This engagement ring, Can you accept it?"

    "...Sirius-sama, my eyes."

    "It''s beautiful, isn''t it? So?"

    "... You see, I have the same eyes as my mother."

    "I see"

    I see, the eye is inherited from her mother.

    I think it''s a good gift.

    While I was thinking that, Cecil slowly told me about her eye.

    She went through many things because of that one eye.

    When she first used dark magic, her father hated it and burned her eye.

    She wanted her eye injury to be healed because it is the only thing she got from her beloved mother and that injury always reminds her of what happened to her father.

    After I finished listening to everything, she asked, "...are you okay even with that...?", with a slightly uneasy expression.

    I don''t care...

    "That''s right, I like Cecil."

    I wish I could say many things, but unfortunately, I have only customer service experience, and I don''t know how to console women.

    That''s why it''s best to tell straight without hiding what I think.

    Thereupon, Cecil had tears in her eyes for a brief second, and then she smiled and said.

    "... I''m a little dull, but... I am looking forward to being with you forever..."

    "Yeah, I will be in your care."

    I put the engagement ring on her left ring finger.

    ¨D¨DAt that point, applause erupted from around us.

    It seems that we were attracting a lot of attention.

    For the time being, no one should know that I am the third prince because I am wearing a ring of dazzle.

    However, such a public proposal... to think, I did something this bold on my own.

    As for Cecil who semmed to have just figured it out, she is a little embarrassed, but she is still smiling happily.

    "...Sirius-sama."

    "Hmm? What is it?"

    "... right now, I have nothing to give back. So... forgive me with this."

    After saying that, Cecil kissed my cheek.

    ¡°¡­ For the lips, Philia-sama needs to be the first¡­ so, it will do with this.¡±

    Come to think of it, Cecil is older than me.

    Maybe that is why she can give a quick response like this.

    And probably because of my zero experience with women, just this kiss on the cheek makes my heart pound.

    Besides, I wonder if thinking of Philia first is her idea and how things will go from now on?

    In any case, I am relieved that she accepted the marriage proposal even if it is from a child like me.

    If the other person says, "I would like  to wait for when you ate a little older," or something like that, it would not have been that surprising.

    In the first place, there is a high chance of not even being taken seriously by the other party and being brushed off with  a sentence like ""I''m sorry, I have a crush on someone."

    ...Did I experience it?

    I didn''t even had the chance to do it because social slaves aren''t allowed to freely fall in love.

    In my second life, I was traumatized by the princess, and my heart was broken on our first night.

    You can say it was just a torture.

    And I want to praise myself for being able to overcome the trauma from that one time.

    That''s how I am, but the kiss on my cheek just now was amazing, and I realized again that my affection for Cecil was genuine.

 CH 36

    I called Shalltear to my bedroom when the night fall after I proposed to Cecil and I got one more fianc¨¦e .

    "Oh, did you call me..."

    For some reason, Shalltear was restless.

    Calling her to my bedroom at a time like this¡­¡­Yeah, it certainly has a lot of meaning.

    Her clear blue eyes were swimming excitedly, and her beautiful blonde hair was more groomed than usual.

    Strange, I didn''t even take the first step and it already looks like I invited her.

    Whatever.

    "Yeah, I''m sorry for calling you late at night. I just want to take you out."

    "At this hour?"

    "Yeah... Queen"

    I called out to Queen who was on my knees.

    Then, Queen jumped out, got bigger and hovered in place.

    "Well then, shall we go?"

    ¡°Ah, what about Cecil?¡±

    "It will be just us today. Do you mind?"

    "No, that''s not it!"

    "Then let''s go."

    The two of us rode on the Pegasus, I sat in the front, and Shalltear sat in the back and grabbed me.

    The beautiful moonlight I perfect for the situation.

    In my previous life, my first life in Japan, the lights of overtime were lit up everywhere, and that light were used by lovers for meetings.

    Well, there are streetlights in this world as well, but other than that, there aren''t many people who work very late, just security guards.

    From below, we could see a beautiful starry sky without a single cloud in the sky.

    "Very¡­¡­"

    Seeing that scene, Shalltear muttered softly.

    Well, riding a Pegasus and having a date in the sky... I never had much luxury.

    It is an experience that could have only after coming to this world.

    ...Sometimes I secretly sneak out of my room and take a walk with Pegasus.

    Above my head, the Phoenix, Freya is a little sulky, but at night, the Phoenix stands out too much...

    So I apologized and promised to make it up to her later during the day.

    "Shalltear "

    "Yes!"

    "Um... Thank you for being my knight."

    I decided to start with this.

    Thanks to Shalltear and Cecil, it is fun every day.

    "No... I am Sirius-sama''s shield and sword, so you can use me however you like."

    "I see... then, Shalltear, I have a request for you. Is it alright?"

    "Anything"

    "Well then... be mine."

    Shalltear froze at those words.

    In order for her to not misunderstand, I continued.

    ¡°You swore that all of you is mine, right? Then, I want the woman named Shalltear.¡±

    "S-Sirius-sama..."

    " We will get engaged first. So, what''s your answer?"

    When she heard that, Shalltear nodded and asked.

    "...Is it alright...well, Sirius-sama and I are different in age...Moreover, I''ve been told I''m muscular, tall, and cocky..."

    ¡°Yeah, I want Shalltear, including everything. Age? It¡¯s not that big of a deal. Muscular? For me, it is beautiful and stylish.  Tall and cocky? You look Slender and beautiful to me.

    Yes, after all, it''s just the nonsense of people whose value standards are biased.

    Age difference doesn''t matter as long as there''s love...that''s a good word.

    (T/N: it depends on where you live )

    Falling in love means being able to love all those things.

    I like Shalltear.

    That''s why I want her to be mine.

    Yes, that''s all.

    "¡­¡­I¡­¡­"

    "Do you dislike me being a child?"

    Shalltear shook her head.

    "That''s not it... but..."

    "Yes?"

    "... Even if you are a child, Sirius-sama I still feel like this... Even if I know it''s no good...I...I want to be by Sirius-sama''s side."

    "I see"

    "As a knight, as a woman...my body and mind are all Sirius-sama''s..."

    "Then, I''ll give you an order. Be mine, Shalltear."

    "¡­¡­Yes"

    I took out a ring from my pocket and put it on Shalltear''s left ring finger.

    The white ring has the power to raise the physical ability of Shalltear, who is a shield user.

    This ring was made using a whole magic obtained from a monster called Fancy Rabbit

    That magic stone was pure white, and it was so beautiful and could match Shalltear''s albino flying dragon shield, so I thought it would suit Shalltear.

    Like that, I gently kiss Shalltear''s cheek and smile.

    It was a little, or rather, pushy, but I took my word for it.

    My third fianc¨¦, Shalltear.

    (T/N: Can you guess how many more are to come? )

    She''s probably the oldest, but there''s no particular problem.

    There are probably some guys who might be silly about not being able to have children, but¡­ well, that time will come, and besides, it will be fine if I have a child with my legal wife, Philia.

    But even if someone says "Rather than that kind of person, my daughter... " or something like that, no, I don''t want to call that person "father-in-law" and I plan to ignore it.

    Yes, I will live freely.

 CH 37

    "- So, the two of them will become my concubines."

    " Really? Congratulations."

    The next day, when I go to her house, I reported it to Philia.

    I thought that she will be a little jealous, but her happy smiling figure is already showing the dignity of a Legal wife.

    As expected of my wife...

    (T\N: This novel is biased towards male superiority, so don''t complain. Though I personally don''t like when the MC get  women without having to shear some skin for them)

    "... Philia-sama, thank you very much."

    " Thank you very much"

    "Yes, let''s get along."

    Legal wife and concubine.

    Sometimes it doesn''t work.

    It seems that there are some nobles who love their concubines more than their legal wives, and it is normal for a legal wife and a concubine to be hostile, so many families don''t do well after getting married.

    Well, maybe it is because of the family turmoil that occurs when the concubine gives birth to a boy who is a candidate for heir before the legal wife.

    Aristocrats are troublesome.

    But Philia and the two seem to get along well, so I''m relieved.

    Aren''t they going to fight when I can''t see it?

    ¡­¡­Well, it¡¯s okay.

    Shalltear and Cecil are easy to understand, and Philia seems happy to have more people to talk to.

    "Well... both of you, then, please."

    "¡­¡­O.K. I understand"

    "I got it"

    "What''s wrong?"

    Philia tilted her head when the two of them left at my words.

    I smiled at her and said,

    "I asked them to do some errands."

    "Really?"

    ¡°Yeah, so¡­ Philia.¡±

    "Yes, what is it?"

    I decided to make up my mind to her smiling face.

    "Today, it wasn''t just about the two of them... there is another main event."

    After saying that, I stood up, got down on one knee in front of Philia and took out the ring I had prepared from my pocket.

    "I want you to receive this..."

    "A ring... is it? It''s so beautiful..."

    "Yeah, an engagement ring. It''s a little early, but... I want to give it to Philia."

    The silver ring is partially made with Mithril Golem silver.

    I had it adjusted so that it would be a silver ring.

    Just like Philia''s beautiful hair.

    The orange and blue decorations are, the orange of the Sunny Dragon''s magic stone and the pure blue of the Aurora Dragon''s tears processed with ice magic ore .

    A magic ore is an ore with magical powers.

    It''s a rare item with a small amount of outflow, but... I went to a mine in an undeveloped land and got it.

    It probably took the most time to collect the materials for Philia''s ring.

    Flying in the sky to find and defeat the Sunny Dragon with Pegasus, finding the Aurora Dragon in a high-altitude snowy mountain, making it cry without killing it, digging a hole with magic and search for ice magic ore in an undeveloped land.

    The material obtained in the process was worth a considerable amount of money, but as a gift to my beloved fianc¨¦e, it is only natural.

    "Philia, thank you for everything. I want you to stay by my side from now on¡­ No, I want to be with you forever.  As a small token of that, I would like to give you this... will you accept it?¡±

    "... Yes. Of course. I will always be by Sirius-sama''s side."

    "Thank you"

    Philia smiled happily, put the ring on her left ring finger, and Philia and I kissed lightly.

    I think this might be my first kiss.

    (T/N : How old were you when you got your first kiss? )

    In my first life, there was no way I could have a girlfriend, and in my second life, I was traumatized by that princess.

    There was no way I could kiss her at that time, I didn''t want to do it, and she didn''t force me to do it either, but I was really forced to do that once.

    ( T\N: Maybe at the wedding? )

    Even that one time was extremely unbearable, but kissing Philia like this is amazing¨D¨DI am fulfilled.

    I wonder if this is what is called happiness... Even though our lips are just touching, I feel Philia closer than before.

    But I also felt that it wasn''t enough.

    I want to make all of Philia mine... I am greedy and selfish.

    After reluctantly ending our seemingly eternal kiss, Philia seemed to regret it a little, and she had a dreamy expression on her face.

    "Thank you, Philia."

    "Ah... no, no..."

    Such a cute fianc¨¦e, but since it¡¯s the first time for me and her, so it is natural to react like this to our first kiss.

    Actually, I am desperately trying to suppress my desire to seek more from Philia.

    8-year-olds can only do light physical contact.

    I thought like that, and I still do.

    However, just now, just at that moment, I wanted more from Philia.

    I can understand that it''s a feeling of love, but to have that kind of desire... love is a scary thing.

    You will say I am a lolicon, right?

    Okay.

    Even if I get that kind of tile, I''m going to declare my love to the people I love!

    After that, Philia was looking at the ring happily, but when I met her gaze, she became embarrassed and shy, which was irresistibly cute.

    I think that passing my days with Philia like this is one of the most precious times in my new life.

    Living the way I want with the people I love...Yeah, that''s very nice.

 CH 38

    Soybeans are great.

    They can be transformed into anything as long as they are processed.

    They ate so rich in protein that they are called the meat of the farmers.

    Bean sprouts, tofu and fried tofu, soybean flour and natto... And the soy sauce and miso that I have been craving are also made from it.

    That''s why I have no choice but to make it.

    Yes¡ªbean sprouts!  (crisp)

    ¡­¡­ Yes, you didn''t read wrong!

    I mean, calm down and think about it.

    I don''t know how much it would cost to make soy sauce or miso from scratch, no matter how hard I work.

    Soybean flour is meaningless without bean paste, and natto is meaningless without soy sauce and rice.

    I still have a long way to go to achieve the once-popular greatest combo  (in my mind) NTKG natto egg over rice.

    Tofu and aburaage ¡­¡­Yeah, they are also troublesome.

    In that case, edamame and sprouts are the best.

    Edamame just need to be boiled and eaten with salt.

    And for bean sprouts there are many ways to cook them.

    Whether boiled or baked, it is nutritious and delicious.

    If the seasoning is enriched, the range will expand, so bean sprouts are still the most appropriate for now.

    "...Sirius-sama, are you going to eat that?"

    "It''s delicious when cooked."

    Cecil, who watched the growth of the bean sprouts together with me , was puzzled by the food called bean sprouts, but the reality is that even bean sprouts are not cultivated in this world.

    Well, food culture should develop soon.

    I don''t think it will reach the level of Japan while I''m still alive, but... if the food culture is properly passed down, it will probably shine with the future generations.

    "... With how they are looking"

    ¡°But it¡¯s delicious.

    "... can you see it?"

    "Maybe..."

    Cecil''s impression of the grown bean sprouts was harsh, but that impression changed when I actually cooked it and she ate it.

    "...Yeah, it''s delicious."

    "Actually, I want a little more seasoning."

    "... Sirius-sama, why are you so knowledgeable about food?"

    ... come to think of it, why?

    Originally, in my first previous life, I was supposed to be in charge of service at the inn.

    Even so, I get up at 4:00 in the morning, help prepare the food, prepare meals for the employees, handle the front desk duties, and then return to my original job.

    From there, he went around all the departments and helped prepare and cook most of the dishes.

    The work is over... but when I think about it, it was actually not the case.

    My precious sleep time also disappeared due to the necessary study, such as preparing for tomorrow, memorizing recipes for employees'' selfish requests for meals.

    ¡­¡­ So when you think about it now, isn¡¯t this strange?

    Rather, I did respect those who don''t die from this.

    By the way, other employees could leave on time.

    ¡­¡­ Isn¡¯t it funny?

    I mean, they were forcing their work on me to go home, right?

    How many times did I feel like my heart was going to break while doing things like washing the dishes for hundreds of servings by myself.

    What was especially terrible was the backs of those who left without hesitation and without cleaning up after the president announced to all the employees, ``Everyone, let''s leaves the work to ¡ð¡ð-kun and go drinking.''''

    Working at an inn is teamwork!  ¡­¡­is what a good guy who resigned said, but I was really envious of the refreshing look when he resigned.

    No... When I remember the past, I turn blue.

    That is a story of the past.

    Look forward, Sirius.

    "Hmm, I just thought it"

    "... Yes, Sirius-sama is a genius."

    There''s no way I could tell my cute fianc¨¦e about my bitter past experiences, so I tried to deceive her, but Cecil honestly agreed.

    I''m sorry if I sound like I''m lying, but... it''s fine if only me and Goddess-sama know about this.

    I don''t want them to carry this burden

    If I put it like that, it might sound cool,

    but it''s hard to believe that I used to be a slave in another world, and even if they believe me, I don''t want to worry them.

    Everyone is kind.

    "...Sirius-sama, teach me various dishes."

    "Okay, but...why?"

    "... To make it for Sirius-sama later."

    I see. an homemade dish full of love?

    It sounds much tastier than what I make on a whim.

    "... Besides, I don''t want to be behind Philia-sama."

    Philia is also learning to cook under my guidance.

    Since she''s going to be a Duchess, she probably won''t get the chance to make one, but she says she''d like to try it herself, so I am teaching her.

    As a result, she''s a very good cook, and if I don''t get better at it, she might become a better cook than I am.

    She''s cute and can do a lot of things...it''s a waste to tie her up to me, but I have no intention of handing her over to someone else.

    She is my precious person.

    ¡°I understand.

    "¡­¡­ I will work hard"

    Naturally, there was no way that my mother didn''t know that the bean sprouts had been made in this way, and after a while the bean sprout production began in earnest.

 CH 39

    I got up early today.

    The sky is clear, and on a day like this, I can''t help but be dazed outside...

    "Uncle!"

    "Gofu!"

    I was laid back, and before I knew it, my dear niece was riding me.

    With a body full of gaps, I did my best and endure the feeling of being choked as I acted like an adult.

    "... Thia, you are rough."

    "Ehehe! Let''s go!"

    A harmless smile.

    From the corner of my eyes, Shalltear was looking apologetic, while Cecil was smiling slightly.

    ¡­I see, were they distributed by the sisters?

    "Suwa is here, too."

    "... Uncle, picture book"

    "Okay, wait just a little longer"

    I tried to deceive her with a new work, but was it no good?

    Suwa who was silently holding my feet retreated when I answered that.

    "Thia"

    "What, uncle?"

    "Can''t you move away?"

    "No!"

    She refused.

    What does she want... sweets?

    However, if I give her too much,  sisters-in-law will scold me... Even mother who is kind to her grandchildren is strict about that sort of thing.

    Come to think of it, from my mother''s point of view, Tiffany and Suwa are grandchildren, aren''t they?

    So my mother is a grandmother... she''s a pretty young grandmother, but the amazing thing about this world is that it''s natural.

    In my mother''s case, she looks younger than her actual age, so it''s all the more so.

    Well, mother''s youth aside, the problem now is my niece.

    What does she want...

    "Then what should I do for you to move?"

    "I want uncle to play with me!"

    "Yes, yes, I am going to play, so please get off."

    I took the chance to lift her light body and sat down, and the twin sisters sat down on my lap.

    That''s fine, but...

    "So, what do you want to play?"

    "Play house!"

    Strangely enough, even in this different world, playing house existed in girls'' play.

    Well, there are two types, the royal-aristocrat version and the commoner version.

    Girls who yearn to be princesses and queens and girls who yearn to be aristocrats play the royal-aristocrat version, girls who yearn to be a commoner''s wife play the commoners'' version, but my two nieces seem to like the commoner''s version of playing house.

    Well, they are princesses.

    The life of the common people is practically far from them.

    "Then, uncle is the husband!"

    "OK"

    It seems that I am the husband and Tiffany and Suwa are the wives.

    It''s interesting to see how playing house shows the polygamous state of this world, but am I the only one who thinks monogamy is better when playing house?

    "I''m home"

    Entering from home would be the standard opening for a house play.

    I took my two nieces off my knees, stood up, and walked over to them, pretending that I was back.

    "You!"

    "Gefu!"

    ¨D¨DThen, for some reason, Tiffany jumped in at me as usual.

    Is this her welcome?

    "¡­¡­welcome home"

    Behind her, Suwa quietly said that, and it seemed more like a wife.

    "Did you bring back the picture book?"

    ¡­Really?

    It seems that picture books are more important for her.

    I should be happy since she likes it this much, but... I''m not a picture book author, I''m an amateur hobbyist, so I''d like a little more leeway.

    If I draw as an obligation, the quality will definitely drop, so I don''t want to make it a job.

    Yes, I just want to create as a hobby.

    "...My wife, thank you for the warm welcome."

    "Yeah!"

    ¡°Niihihi~¡± Tiffany smiled innocently and cutely, but for the time being, I would like her to refrain from attacking me.

    "You! It''s a unicorn stew tonight!"

    At those words, Knight who was being held by Shalltear was frightened.

    ¡­¡­I don''t have the idea of ??putting a holy beast on the table.

    "Well then, I have to feed you properly"

    "Eh?"

    "Because you are a precious life given by Holy Beast-sama."

    "Yes!"

    Tiffany doesn''t seem to understand, but the idea of ??eating sacred beasts must have come to her mind, so I''ll have to make her forget it.

    And so, the three of us played along for a while.... but, we were playing house peacefully, when Tiffany said, "I''m going to be my uncle''s wife!"

    It''s a normal thing to say that to someone close to you, such as your father or older brother, but since she is  still a young child, the chances of that happening in the future is quite low.

    Or rather, marrying my older brother''s child... finally, I''m likely to be given the title of pervert.

    Well, I don¡¯t want to receive such a title. I already have a cute legal wife and two concubines, and I don''t want to increase it.

    Harem Hiah! It is the dream of all the true men, but I feel that it''s wrong to surround someone of the opposite sex that I don''t like, and since there''s no such thing as a political marriage at the moment, I want it to pass peacefully like this.

    Such a tough came to my mind while was listening to the childish words of my nieces, since I also want my cute nieces to be happy with the person she likes.

    That''s what I thought deeply.

 CH 41

    Today, I came to the territory alone.

    It''s strange, because when the number of people who care about you increases, you''ll want more time alone, and when it decreases, you''ll feel lonely.

    Everything seems to be just superficial.

    "Ah, lord-sama! Welcome!"

    "Hey, shopkeeper. Can I have the same as usual?"

    "Yes, immediately!"

    Saying that, of course he prepared alcohol, the specialty of our territory, white silver peach juice.

    It would be a problem if a child imitated me, the lord, after seeing me drinking.

    I don''t know if I am that popular... but children at the orphanage aren''t always well-behaved.

    I didn''t do anything in particular, but these children like me, and want to imitate me, so they will imitate whatever they see as cool from me.

    As I was thinking about that, the owner brought me a jug of peach juice.

    "Enjoy!"

    "Thank you"

    I didn''t forget to chill it before drinking.

    There is no such thing as an ice magic tool in a commoner''s shop, and naturally the juice that comes out has the same temperature as the room, so I  made sure it''s properly chilled.

    Then, one mouthful.

    Yeah, I like the rich peach savor.

    "It''s delicious. How are you doing these days?"

    ¡°Thanks to Lord-sama, the menu has increased, which is a big help.

    "Then that''s good"

    I sometimes help the shops I like, but I also quickly kicked out troublemakers of our territory, so no one complained that I am biased.

    "Hey, shopkeeper...Eh! Are you the rumored lord?"

    Suddenly, while I was talking to the owner, I heard a voice behind me.

    When I turned around, there was a harem-like adventurer party with one man and three women.

    "Yes, that''s right."

    ¡°As I thought¡­ Is it okay to sit next to you?¡±

    "OK"

    When I said that, the man said "thank you" and sat next to me with a refreshing smile that would make an ordinary maiden blush.

    Well, I don''t think anything of people of the same sex.

    I''m envious of good-looking guys... But I also think that, it''s going to be a mess, if my face is too good-looking.

    I thought that the other three would follow the man and sit on the man''s side, but there was only one person sitting next to me.

    "Hey, Mel. Do it after you get the lord''s permission."

    "It''s not good, huh?"

    "Well, that''s fine, but..."

    "You see"

    What an easy-going woman.

    Is she around 20 years old?

    The magician-like robe and the style that seems to be somewhere between a beautiful little girl and a mature woman are ordinary, but she somehow emits an attractive atmosphere.

    The woman, who had slightly thinner blond hair than Shalltear and beautiful Amagis eyes, drank the silver peach juice I was drinking, and said, "Oh, it''s delicious," and smiled.

    Any man would sign for such a woman.

    "Sorry, lord-sama"

    "No, she is quite interesting. So, what do you want from me?"

    "Yeah, I just wanted to say thank you..."

    Did I do something for the thank?

    "My name is Valeris. I''m an A-rank adventurer."

    An A-rank adventurer, huh?

    ¡°When subjugating the Thunder Tiger, I wasn¡¯t here due to another request¡­I heard that lord-sama cleaned it up. Thank you.¡±

    "Well, even so, you are quite polite."

    "As someone who loves this city, it''s only natural. Besides, thanks to lord-sama, this city has become more lively than before."

    ¡­¡­There are such adventurers.

    I can''t say that I just wanted the magic stone.

    "Do not worry about it.  I''m also the lord after all.  By the way, do you have any plans when you retire from the adventurer family business?

    "...? No, I haven''t decided."

    "Then, if you don''t mind, why don''t you work at my mansion?

    ¡°At the lord¡¯s mansion?¡±

    "Yeah, if it''s okay with your other friends."

    Valeris and the others were puzzled by the sudden invitation, but there was one person who reacted differently.

    "Good, looks like it''s going to be fun"

    "Um... is it Mel?"

    "Yeah, well, it might be difficult to continue for them. And, Valeris''s child might be coming soon."

    "Hey... Mel!"

    "It''s okay, lord-sama already knows that you''re in that kind of relationship anyway. Right?"

    Ah, so it''s really a harem.

    "Is Mel different?"

    "Me? Unfortunately, I am not interested. Valeris is handsome, but he is not my type."

    Heh, I thought everyone was like that, but...

    By the way, the other two girls were looking down with red faces at Mel''s remarks.

    "I see. Well, I might ask you to be a nanny, so think about it."

    "Uh... yes"

    They nodded, but Valeris was  looking a little embarrassed.

    "Come to think of it, lord-sama, is it true that you married Shalltear and Cecil?¡±

    "Hmm? Yes."

    "That''s amazing, if they wait for lord-sama to become an adult, both of them will be reasonably old, right?"

    What is it... this feeling that doesn''t feel sarcasm even though it''s stepping in.

    Her personality?

    "I don¡¯t care about age."

    ¡°Hee, then, if I ask you, will you make me your fianc¨¦e?¡±

    "Hmm, are you serious? I just met you, but I don''t hate people like Mel."

    My first impression isn''t bad, so I''ll answer yes.

    Well, I''m not serious.

    "Yes, then, if you like it, call me to the floor."

    "¡­¡­Body pillow?"

    (T/N: I really don''t understand what they are saying here. He said ±§¤­Õí which is generally a giant pillow with a manga character drawn on it. So it is up to your imagination)

    "It''s soft, isn''t it? Well, anything else is also fine."

    It''s not a conversation to have with a child, but... well, I couldn''t deny that Mel was close to my favorite type.

    Her look..or her temperament?

    That''s how it is.

    "Huh? That''s a cute bird."

    Suddenly, Mel notices the Phoenix Freya-chan above my head and gently  lowers it from my head.

    "S-Speaking of which, have you ever met an S-rank adventurer?"

    While Mel was playing with Freya, Valeris asked me that.

    "No? I''ve never seen one. What is the matter?"

    "No... I don''t know if it''s true because I heard it in another city, but I heard that someone who seems to be an S-rank adventurer riding a Pegasus goes around hunting monsters such as Sunny Dragon. But, I don''t know of an adventurer who can summon the holy beast Pegasus, so I thought maybe he is the S-rank adventurer who is rumored to be secretly active in this city."

    ¡­¡­It¡¯s not about me, is it?

    It''s true that my figure was distorted by the Illusion Ring, so they probably wouldn''t recognize me, but... Sunny Dragon sounded too familiar.

    I remember hunting it as a material to make a ring for Philia.

    "Heh, there are some great adventurers out there.  If there are such persons, I''d like to meet them, but... I don''t want to  force them to leave, so I''m looking forward to the opportunity to meet them."

    "isn''t it!"

    ¡°Ah, of course, I have high hopes for Valeris, too."

    "Yes! Of course!"

    While changing the subject, I decide to build a good relationship with Valerie.

    Yeah, I like him.

    Actually, I want to remember the faces of A-rank adventurers and S-rank adventurers, but I hear that there are many bigoted people among them, so it would be a problem if they leave the city because I forcefully summoned them.

    In this way, people like Valeris who voluntarily work hard for the city are precious, so I have to secure them after they are retired from being adventurer.

    A former A-rank adventurer is also precious.

    The other members may have children, so it would be good to ask them to live in as nannies.

    As for Mel...well, she said she was looking for fun, so even if she isn''t a nanny, she will probably find some kind of job for herself.

    Or rather, Valeris is pretty handsome, but she is not interested, so in a way it''s amazing... Personally, I''m very interested in what kind of hobby she has, but I''ll refrain from asking because it''s inappropriate.

    At the very least, I will have children with Philia, Cecil, and Shalltear, so we might need a wet nurse.

    Philia''s child will be the heir... Well, it''s not good to be too strict, but I will have to do my best not to be too loose.

    It seems that I really have to think about a lot of things, such as royalty and aristocrats.

    It''s really troublesome, but I cheer myself with the idea that if I do that, I can have a slow life.

    "Hey, lord-sama"

    When I was thinking about that, Mel, who was teasing Freya-chan, suddenly turned to me.

    "What''s it?"

    ¡°Are you planning to increase the number of your concubines?¡±

    "... I don''t know the intention of your question, but it only if I like someone."

    "Is that so"

    ¡­¡­What is it?

    I was meaningful at Mel''s words, but it took me some time to realize that the question had other meanings.

    In the end, that day, I deepened my friendship with Valeris and returned home while being followed by a mysterious stare from Mel.

    But I was surprised when Cecil came to me and quickly said something like, "... I  smell another woman."

    I didn''t have anything to be blamed for, so I answered her normally, but... the momentary shudder was probably just my imagination

 CH 42

    "Please! Let me meet the lord!"

    One day, when I casually took Cecil and Shalltear to the lord''s mansion, there was a lot of noise in front of the gate.

    When I went to see it, a young girl and a guard were arguing.

    No, the guard was calming the girl down.

    "The lord isn''t there right now... Besides, I can''t let you meet the lord without appointment."

    "It will be too late later, please"

    ¡­¡­What?

    At first sight, it looks like someone is deliberately making trouble, but the girl is earnestly begging.

    I can''t ignore it after seeing such a despaired expression, so I moved my feet before noticing it.

    "What''s wrong with you?"

    "Huh? Ah, lord-sama!"

    While the guards were surprised to see me, the girl quickly passed the guard with small body, hugged me and said.

    "Lord-sama, please! Please help my mother!"

    "Help... did something happen?"

    "Mom, she is sick... she was taking medicine to heal. But since the day before yesterday, things have changed, and the doctor can''t do anything..."

    "Then why me?"

    I wonder if I can do something about it, even though the doctor says it''s hopeless... I know the reason, but I just want to ask.

    ¡°Lord-sama used magic to heal others before, so maybe¡­ Um, I don¡¯t have money, but I will do anything!"

    I am not cold-hearted enough to ignore such a desperate plea, and before I knew it, I was stroking the crying girl''s head while smiling.

    "For now, let me take a look. Can you guide me?"

    "Yes!"

    "Are you sure, sir? If it''s a trap..."

    "Yeah, well, it''s okay. Thank you for your hard work. See you later."

    After taking care of the worried guards, I head to the girl''s house with her.

    "...Sirius-sama is really good-natured."

    "Because he''s kind. Unlike you."

    "... impossible. I am kinder than Shalltear."

    "In which way "

    I''m sorry for the two of them who saying that, but... I''m not that good of a person, you know?

    Because there is darkness in my heart.

    When we arrived at the girl''s house, there was a woman lying in pain inside, and it was obvious that she was the girl''s mother.

    "Mom!"

    "..."

    "Mom? Mom!"

    She is sick to the extent that she can''t even reply... That mean.

    "Calm down"

    "B-but..."

    "It''s okay, alright?"

    After smiling like that, I check the state of the woman.

    I''m not particularly knowledgeable about medicine, but I can judge whether someone can be cured with magic or not.

    Yeah... I wonder if it will work out.

    "Wait for a little while"

    After saying that, I put my hand over the woman and activated healing magic.

    It''s a different kind of healing magic than the one I usually use.

    There are three main categories of healing magic.

    External healing, internal healing, and spiritual healing.

    External healing, aka wound healing, is what I always use, the magic that heals injuries.

    Inner healing is the magic that cures invisible diseases.

    And mental healing... This is a magic that works on the things like mind that is originally impossible to heal, just like I forcibly fixed my broken heart in my previous life where I was a hero.

    This time I am using internal healing.

    Eliminate the pathogenic bacteria that cause the disease, and cure the abnormally caused by its action one by one.

    A faint green light flows from my hand to the woman, but the sight must be the same if you look at it objectively.

    Well, I''m concentrating, so I don''t know.

    Then, after dozens of seconds.

    Slowly, as the light faded, the woman''s complexion returned and her breathing calmed down.

    Yeah, that''s fine.

    "Lor, lord-sama! Mother is..."

    "Yeah, I think she is fine now."

    "Really!?"

    "Really. She is about to wake up."

    The woman opened her eyes thinly, and smiled when she saw the girl who was clinging to her.

    "Mimosa..."

    "Oh, mother? Mother! Are you okay!?"

    "Yeah, somehow my body seems to be lighter... it feels good, it''s strange."

    "Uu... Waaaa~!"

    The girl huged the woman, without caring that she was a patient.

    It''s a heartwarming sight, so I borrowed the kitchen so as not to get in the way, and made something light enough to eat.

    After slowly preparing the ingredients taken from my subspace using space magic, I returned to the mother and daughter who have calmed down, and the girl said with tears in her eyes.

    ¡°Lord-sama, thank you for helping my mother.¡±

    "You don''t have to worry about it. More importantly, you two should eat this together. Your mother probably needs nutrition, but you haven''t been eating well lately, have you?"

    From the looks of it, she didn''t look like she''s been eating well for the past few days, so when I said that and gave her a hot meal, the girl happily ate it.

    "Um... lord. Thank you very much for this time. So, um... about money..."

    "Hmm? Do you have it?"

    "Huh? No, but..."

    Well, someone who works with healing magic would probably receive it, but in my case, I don''t need to earn money from healing, so I''ll leave it as it is.

    Having said that, It is often said that there is nothing more expensive than free since it can bite you back anytime, so after thinking about it for a while, I said to the mother who was worried and has a clouded her expression.

    "Well, just one thing, please.  Don''t overdo it anymore. If it''s work, I can introduce one to you."

    "What..."

    And I quietly whispered to the woman, who tilted her head.

    "... If you really think about your daughter, your body comes first. I know an understaffed shop, I think you can work there."

    She must have fallen ill after overworking.

    It seems that she managed to live relatively well untill now by working hard, but being overworked is painful.

    No one helped them even after noticing it.

    It is good that could find it.

    in addition¡­¡­

    "A girl''s tears are worth more than money."

    When I smiled, the woman became silent, after saying, "Thank you... Thank you..." she lowered her head.

    I told her to keep quiet about this, but the new that she had recovered from her illness spread, and it was discovered that I am the one who helped her.

    Furthermore, for some reason, because of this matter and my occasional free healing, I came to be called "Seibo-sama" instead of "Lord-sama", but... I don''t understand.

    (T/N:  Seibo-sama (Â}Ä¸˜”) is the Japanese version of the Virgin Marie, it literally means "mother of the Saint" or "Holly maiden". Don''t forget that Sirius has an effeminate appearance)

    I wonder where the maiden come from... isn''t just saint better?

    I was annoyed by that, but for some reason Philia, Cecil, and Shalltear approved it.

    No, really why?

 CH 43

    "Please! Let me meet the lord!"

    One day, when I casually took Cecil and Shalltear to the lord''s mansion, there was a lot of noise in front of the gate.

    When I went to see it, a young girl and a guard were arguing.

    No, the guard was calming the girl down.

    "The lord isn''t there right now... Besides, I can''t let you meet the lord without appointment."

    "It will be too late later, please"

    ¡­¡­What?

    At first sight, it looks like someone is deliberately making trouble, but the girl is earnestly begging.

    I can''t ignore it after seeing such a despaired expression, so I moved my feet before noticing it.

    "What''s wrong with you?"

    "Huh? Ah, lord-sama!"

    While the guards were surprised to see me, the girl quickly passed the guard with small body, hugged me and said.

    "Lord-sama, please! Please help my mother!"

    "Help... did something happen?"

    "Mom, she is sick... she was taking medicine to heal. But since the day before yesterday, things have changed, and the doctor can''t do anything..."

    "Then why me?"

    I wonder if I can do something about it, even though the doctor says it''s hopeless... I know the reason, but I just want to ask.

    ¡°Lord-sama used magic to heal others before, so maybe¡­ Um, I don¡¯t have money, but I will do anything!"

    I am not cold-hearted enough to ignore such a desperate plea, and before I knew it, I was stroking the crying girl''s head while smiling.

    "For now, let me take a look. Can you guide me?"

    "Yes!"

    "Are you sure, sir? If it''s a trap..."

    "Yeah, well, it''s okay. Thank you for your hard work. See you later."

    After taking care of the worried guards, I head to the girl''s house with her.

    "...Sirius-sama is really good-natured."

    "Because he''s kind. Unlike you."

    "... impossible. I am kinder than Shalltear."

    "In which way "

    I''m sorry for the two of them who saying that, but... I''m not that good of a person, you know?

    Because there is darkness in my heart.

    When we arrived at the girl''s house, there was a woman lying in pain inside, and it was obvious that she was the girl''s mother.

    "Mom!"

    "..."

    "Mom? Mom!"

    She is sick to the extent that she can''t even reply... That mean.

    "Calm down"

    "B-but..."

    "It''s okay, alright?"

    After smiling like that, I check the state of the woman.

    I''m not particularly knowledgeable about medicine, but I can judge whether someone can be cured with magic or not.

    Yeah... I wonder if it will work out.

    "Wait for a little while"

    After saying that, I put my hand over the woman and activated healing magic.

    It''s a different kind of healing magic than the one I usually use.

    There are three main categories of healing magic.

    External healing, internal healing, and spiritual healing.

    External healing, aka wound healing, is what I always use, the magic that heals injuries.

    Inner healing is the magic that cures invisible diseases.

    And mental healing... This is a magic that works on the things like mind that is originally impossible to heal, just like I forcibly fixed my broken heart in my previous life where I was a hero.

    This time I am using internal healing.

    Eliminate the pathogenic bacteria that cause the disease, and cure the abnormally caused by its action one by one.

    A faint green light flows from my hand to the woman, but the sight must be the same if you look at it objectively.

    Well, I''m concentrating, so I don''t know.

    Then, after dozens of seconds.

    Slowly, as the light faded, the woman''s complexion returned and her breathing calmed down.

    Yeah, that''s fine.

    "Lor, lord-sama! Mother is..."

    "Yeah, I think she is fine now."

    "Really!?"

    "Really. She is about to wake up."

    The woman opened her eyes thinly, and smiled when she saw the girl who was clinging to her.

    "Mimosa..."

    "Oh, mother? Mother! Are you okay!?"

    "Yeah, somehow my body seems to be lighter... it feels good, it''s strange."

    "Uu... Waaaa~!"

    The girl huged the woman, without caring that she was a patient.

    It''s a heartwarming sight, so I borrowed the kitchen so as not to get in the way, and made something light enough to eat.

    After slowly preparing the ingredients taken from my subspace using space magic, I returned to the mother and daughter who have calmed down, and the girl said with tears in her eyes.

    ¡°Lord-sama, thank you for helping my mother.¡±

    "You don''t have to worry about it. More importantly, you two should eat this together. Your mother probably needs nutrition, but you haven''t been eating well lately, have you?"

    From the looks of it, she didn''t look like she''s been eating well for the past few days, so when I said that and gave her a hot meal, the girl happily ate it.

    "Um... lord. Thank you very much for this time. So, um... about money..."

    "Hmm? Do you have it?"

    "Huh? No, but..."

    Well, someone who works with healing magic would probably receive it, but in my case, I don''t need to earn money from healing, so I''ll leave it as it is.

    Having said that, It is often said that there is nothing more expensive than free since it can bite you back anytime, so after thinking about it for a while, I said to the mother who was worried and has a clouded her expression.

    "Well, just one thing, please.  Don''t overdo it anymore. If it''s work, I can introduce one to you."

    "What..."

    And I quietly whispered to the woman, who tilted her head.

    "... If you really think about your daughter, your body comes first. I know an understaffed shop, I think you can work there."

    She must have fallen ill after overworking.

    It seems that she managed to live relatively well untill now by working hard, but being overworked is painful.

    No one helped them even after noticing it.

    It is good that could find it.

    in addition¡­¡­

    "A girl''s tears are worth more than money."

    When I smiled, the woman became silent, after saying, "Thank you... Thank you..." she lowered her head.

    I told her to keep quiet about this, but the new that she had recovered from her illness spread, and it was discovered that I am the one who helped her.

    Furthermore, for some reason, because of this matter and my occasional free healing, I came to be called "Seibo-sama" instead of "Lord-sama", but... I don''t understand.

    (T/N:  Seibo-sama (Â}Ä¸˜”) is the Japanese version of the Virgin Marie, it literally means "mother of the Saint" or "Holly maiden". Don''t forget that Sirius has an effeminate appearance)

    I wonder where the maiden come from... isn''t just saint better?

    I was annoyed by that, but for some reason Philia, Cecil, and Shalltear approved it.

    No, really why?

 CH 44

    "Then, shall we rest here today?¡±

    After stopping the carriage at the place I specified, everyone looked puzzled when I said that.

    The sun had already begun to set, and there is still some distance to the city.

    We are sure to be shelterless in this situation, but no one seems to be able to predict what I''ll do.

    "Um Sirius-sama. So are we going to sleep in the carriage?"

    "No, I want to take a shower."

    "A shower?"

    "Yeah, yeah"

    After saying that to Philia, I set up a closed house from the subspace of my space magic with relocation magic in a place that looks good.

    It was as if the house suddenly came out of nowhere, and everyone was very surprised... I''ll make sure not to forget their expectations.

    "I think you already know, but you will keep this a secret, right?"

    At those words, Philia, Cecil, and Shalltear immediately nodded

    After a little delay, Brother Regulus and his guards also agreed, but... Brother Regulus asked if he was interested.

    "... Hey, Sirius. That''s a house... isn''t it?"

    "Yes, it was made with magic."

    "...Is there such a magic?"

    "Magic is profound."

    "That''s right... Well, it seems more comfortable than a carriage."

    After saying that, we enter the house.

    The one I put out this time is a slightly larger size, similar to a mansion.

    I prefer an ordinary single house because I will have an excuse to stay with just three people, but since I have my brother and guards, I will use this one.

    "Heh, it''s a little small, but I can''t believe you are carrying this around."

    My brother is comparing it to a castle, so it is normal that it''s small.

    But carry something of that scale around would get in the way and, it will be difficult to maintain.

    We have to pay attention of our surrounding, so when you think about it, a normal house is probably the best.

    "The baths are separate for men and women, so please don''t make a mistake."

    "Oh? Can''t you enter with Miss Philia and the others?"

    To that question, my three fianc¨¦s who were looking inside the mansion reacted differently.

    Philia''s face was blushing, Cecil was nodding somewhat convinced, Shalltear thought it might be good, and then shook her head to dismiss her evil thoughts.

    "I will refrain from doing it since older brother is here.  Also, please don''t peek at my fianc¨¦e''s bathing, okay?"

    "Haha, I am already fine with my wives.  Besides, I''m not as lustful as Sirius."

    I want to deny it, but the reality is that I already have three fiancees.

    "But that''s amazing, Sirius-sama. There''s magic like this."

    ¡°Well, I also made various things for going out with Philia and the others, so please look forward to it.¡±

    After saying that and guiding them to their respective rooms, I also called out to the guards outside.

    "Ah, yes, the guards can also use the bath after us.¡±

    "Huh?Is that okay?"

    "Yeah, I''ve prepared a room for you, but you''re going to have to take turns guarding it, right? In that case, it''s a good deal, so please heal your fatigue even a little."

    My brother behind me nodded, so the escorts were modestly pleased.

    Well, at least for the bath, if anything happens, I''ll protect us.

    "...Sirius-sama."

    "Hmm? What''s wrong?"

    ¡°¡­If His Highness Regulus wasn''t here, were you going to take a mixed bath?¡±

    "... Well, if you agree."

    "...n, it''s always fine"

    Cecil seems to be completely prepared for something like that.

    Well, if I have the chance.

    Naturally, premarital sex between unmarried men and women is strictly prohibited in this world as well.

    It seems that mixed bathing is permissible for families, but there is a strong tendency to only do so after marriage.

    However, I think everyone is doing it at least in places like this when traveling, so I think it''s okay to overlook it.

    Well, If the goddess I admire and respect says it''s taboo, I''m going to strictly follow it, but I think a certain amount of physical contact should be allowed.

    I can''t do the actual performance yet, but I think that kind of physical contact should be fine.

    And so on, while trying to justify myself, I received a cup of tea brewed by Philia.

    "Yeah, the tea brewed by Philia is delicious after all."

    "Thank you Sirius-sama."

    Normally, I would ask the maids to do this kind of work, but when we were traveling, Philia said that she really wanted to make tea for me, so I asked her.

    Both Cecil and Shalltear know about that, so it''s only natural that they wouldn''t try to step in.

    "We will make dinner in a little while."

    "Oh, leave it to me."

    "Sirius-sama, please let me help."

    "¡­¡­Me too"

    While receiving the goodwill of my three fianc¨¦s, I relax a little.

    Well, at this moment, I''m always activating perception-type magic, but at my level there''s no problem in relaxing while doing it.

    So far, there are no signs of people or monsters nearby, maybe something will happen when we fall asleep?

    No matter what happens, I will definitely assure the safety of my three fianc¨¦s and my brother, but I will say it again, my three fianc¨¦es are of a higher priority than my brother because of my love.

    By the way, if Raul-niisama accompanies us this time, he will probably of a lower priority than Regulus-niisama.

    That person isn''t going to die easily because he''s a monster, and I have no small amount of confidence that I can definitely protect everyone, even if I set my priorities like that.

    If something goes wrong, we can always escape with teleportation magic.

 CH 45

    (T/N: I will replace the name of Regulus second daughter from Duwa to Suna starting from now)

    "Haa... it feels good"

    "I agree"

    Philia took Cecil and Shalltear to the bath, so I thought I''d take it easy and wait... did you think I will peep?

    Why should I do something so low?

    I don''t intend to accidentally step into the women''s bath or do anything that would make you envious....Yes, I felt like a sage, and for some reason, my brother took me to the men''s bath.

    He said, "Why don''t you take it easy with your brother for once?" I''m not the kind of brother who would refuse an invitation, so I had no choice but to nod.

    "But Sirius is really capable."

    "It''s not the first time, is it?"

    ¡°I know."

    Regulus-nii-sama, who smiles sweetly, has a figure that a woman would surely be fascinated by, but unfortunately I''m a man, so I just will affirm how good-looking Nii-sama is.

    I''m like that, but right now, I am secretly fantasizing about what is going on in the women''s bath next door.

    Philia''s immature fruit, Cecil''s lean style, and Shalltear''s nice figure with just the right amount of muscle.

    Hmmm, I wonder if it''s good or not.

    "By the way, Sirius, do you have any intention of increasing the number of concubines?"

    To me, who was satisfied with that mental imagine alone, Regulus-niisama said such a thing.

    "How about you, brother?"

    "I don''t need more... or rather, it''s hard already to have two, so it will cause problems to have more."

    My brother seems to be far from lustful, just like our father.

    So am I.

    ¡­¡­you think I am lying?

    Because I can''t move my fingers on someone I don¡¯t like.

    "Raul-nii-san seems to have the same feeling as me. Even though he looks lascivious, he has no sense of incongruity."

    "Well, sure."

    If it''s just my brother Raul''s appearance, it wouldn''t be unnatural to think that he has several women to attend him, but it seems that two wives are enough for him.

    I once saw him laughing, saying, "If I have time for that, I should practice more!", it seems that Regulus-niisama will have a hard time after becoming the king, but as a younger brother, I have can only cheer him on.

    "You''re saying that kind of talk is coming to brother? So, you want to force it on me to some extent"

    "Well"

    Two people, including the legal wife and concubine, are too few!  ¡­¡­ Under that pretext, the nobles would probably want to offer their daughter to my older brothers.

    "No, a political marriage is a bit..."

    "Well, I guess so."

    (T/N: I don''t understand why some royalty and aristocrats refuse arranged marriage, since it is a little price to pay for the privilege they received since they were born.)

    Here, the good thing about my brother and family is that they don''t force things on me.

    Of course, if I had to, I might accept a political marriage, but at the moment, I don''t think there''s anyone who would benefit from a political marriage, and it would be troublesome if a strong-willed daughter of higher status were to come.

    She did be of a higher status than Philia''s, and if someone asked to have his daughter become the legal wife, I''m afraid that I might hit that nobleman without hesitation.

    That''s the troublesome part of being a noble, but... well, it is a good thing that I will not succeed to the throne, and my family probably won''t try to force me, who can amass money with various ideas.

    "Haa... Well, at least I have to get another one... But it''s troublesome, so I guess I''ll find another way to avoid it. Come to think of it, Sirius, do you have any intention of marrying my daughters?"

    Nii-sama suddenly said such a dangerous thing.

    An older brother recommending his daughter to his younger brother... Amazing, I gave a wry smile while admitting that this was a different world.

    ¡°Normally, won''t you be more picky about who you marry your cute daughter to?¡±

    "Well, that''s true, but... as a parent, it would be sad if they go abroad like Rosa, and it would be safer if they stay with Sirius."

    So the reason is that they could meet at any time with teleportation magic.

    For some reason, Brother Regulus is also a daughter Lover.

    "It may be unavoidable for them to have a political marriage, but I also have an uncle''s heart that want to let the two marry for love."

    "Then you don''t have to worry about it, is it? Tiffany always said, [I''m going to get married to my uncle!], to which Suna would nod."

    Well, it''s a normal for young children, to say that about someone they really admire.

    ¡­¡­ Can I, who has a goddess as first love, say that is a different matter?

    It can''t be helped, I died without having that kind of feeling.

    That''s why we enjoy love in this world!

    Ah, I don''t need to pay attention to other, and I''m just going to convey my love straight.

    A world where you can say you like when you like...it''s a luxury, isn''t it?

    "Well, think about it. You don''t hate them, do you?"

    "Well, they are my cute niece."

    "Fufu, Sirius really doesn''t look like an uncle."

    Well, I am aware.

    I am too young, and Tiffany and Suna are more like brother-sister or cousin-sister when they are with me.

    And so, I talked about various things with my brother, but he was tired and almost fell asleep because of the comfort of the hot water.

    Well, he is working ahead of schedule, so it can''t be helped.

    Even though I care about my brother,

    I''m more excited to see what my 3 fianc¨¦s look like directly after coming out of the bath.

    It''s okay, be honest with your desires.

    Well, I won''t say it out loud.

    I also don''t have the courage to say it out loud, so I will just enjoy it silently.

    In particular, Philia''s bath is rare, so I''m looking forward to taking a bath together after our marriage.

    Hang on for a few more years.

 CH 46

    With Philia, Cecil, and Shalltear''s after-bath appearance in my mind, I went outside alone.

    Not just to cool down my flushed body, but because I''ve found some disturbance.

    "Sirius-sama? Where are you going?"

    "Don''t worry about me, it''s safe around here for now, but be careful."

    After calling telling that to the guards, I fly in the sky with non-attribute flight magic.

    Yeah, even if Queen isn''t there, I can afford to fly in the sky with magic.

    By the way, I left the Queen and Knight as guards for my fianc¨¦e, and Freya-chan, the small bird-sized phoenix who seems to have made a nest on my head, was standing proudly on it.

    Come to think of it, this child is always on top of my head except when I''m taking a bath, restroom, or sleeping...

    Well, okay.

    Like that, I flew to a place quite far from our homeless camp, and couldn''t help but sigh when I saw the scene from above.

    Over 10,000 undead troops were rushing into the city we were planning to pass next.

    Adventurers and knights seem to be fighting back, but... Undead can''t be defeated without light purification magic.

    So, the priests are also struggling, but how much can they hold against 10,000...

    "Well, seeing someone die has a bad aftertaste."

    I don''t want Philia to see a ruined city, so let''s take them down quickly.

    From the air, I activate light purification magic on the army of 10,000 undead.

    As expected, it takes a little time to charge, but it''s only a few seconds.

    "Okay, I wonder if it is enough?"

    A huge magic formation emerges and wraps around the undeads.

    "Wha, what is this light!"

    "Is it purification magic? Even so, this scale is..."

    Some of the sharp-eyed people seemed to have found me, but everyone else was stunned by the disappearing undead.

    Well, I can understand them since the undead, whom they were defending against just now, disappeared in an instant.

    I went down to the person who seemed to be the commander and asked him.

    "I''d like to hear a detailed story...is that okay?"

    "Your Highness Sirius...?"

    "Hmm? Do you know me?"

    ¡°I saw your face at the country''s birthday celebration. So, it is His Highness who helped us."

    "Well, it just happened. So, I''d like to talk to someone important... but before that, could you please try not to spread the news about me?"

    "I''m sorry. Well then, I''ll show you around."

    I don''t want to be asked unnecessary questions... Well, it''s know that I can use light magic, so even if it leaks, I''ll be able to do something about it.

    After a while, I was taken to a place that seemed to be this city lord''s mansion.

    There were many decorations that felt like bad taste in my eyes but... well, it''s someone else''s house, so I''ll ignore it.

    After waiting for a few minutes in the room, I was guided to.

    The man who came in was an elderly man who was a little haggard.

    "I''m sorry to keep you waiting. I was put in charge of this land by Baron Demonche, my name is Styve."

    "I''m Sirius, the third prince."

    ¡°Thank you very much for this time. If His Highness wasn''t here, this town would have ended..."

    "That''s fine, but... are you okay?"

    When I instinctively asked him about his appearance, which looked like he was overworked, Styve replied with a wry smile.

    "No, it is because this catastrophe overlapped with my usual work. Baron Demonche also escaped..."

    "He ran away? Or rather, I think this land wasn''t the one under the magistrate..."

    If I remember correctly, there should have been a report that Baron Demonche has two territories and lives here as his main residence.

    ¡°He has appointed a magistrate like me for his usual work. Actually, at the beginning of this commotion, Baron Demonche left for the neighboring territory¡­ even though it was after the undead was reported. Because he fled first, the complaints from the fief''s inhabitants were terrible, and I had already given up"

    I see, it''s a good idea to ride a carriage and escape to another territory in front of 10,000 undead.

    "What about the casualties?"

    ¡°Thanks to His Highness, it was kept to a minimum.There are quite a few injured, but¡­¡±

    "I see... For the time being, I guess the injured are priority. Can we talk about the details after that?"

    ¡°Could it be that His Highness will cure them? Actually, even the priests are at the limit of their magical powers¡­¡±

    "Yeah, well, I can''t overlook it. I''m sorry for taking your time, but can you guide me?

    "I''m sorry, immediately."

    I really want to go back early, but it out of my hand.

    Before listening to the details, I have to do something about the number of the injured.

    The relief station I was taken to was truly hell.

    Adventurers suffering from the curse of the undead, knights whose armor was pierced, and non-combatants that suffered damage from stray undead.

    For the time being, I will start healing from the seriously injured, but there are a lot of them.

    (T/N: don''t be led astray, the correct procedure is to start from the light injured)

    ¡°Your Highness, are you okay?¡±

    "Yeah, it''s fine."

    I''m confident in the amount of mana I have, so it''s impossible for it to run out.

    I don''t want Philia and the others to see this once they arrive here, so I will fix it quickly.

    "Thank you, Your Highness..."

    "Don''t worry about it. You did a great job."

    The fact that I am the third prince seems to have been spread, but I will not forget to thank the adventurers and knights who worked hard, as well as the non-combatants who tried to protect their loved ones.

    There are a lot of life that have been protected thanks to them, so that much is natural.

    However, it would have been better if there were no mutterings such as "it is like the holly maiden..." or " Somehow, he looks the holly mother"

    There are other words like saint, but that doesn''t suit me either.

    After finishing healing everyone, I received a lot of thanks, but... feeling a little embarrassed, I returned to the lord''s mansion, where an even more worn-out Styve awaited me.

    "¡­¡­Alive?"

    ¡°¡­I have complaints about Baron Demonche-sama, but above all, the damage is huge and it seems that it will take time to recover.¡±

    "I see... so, I want to ask, have you ever seen an undead around here?"

    "No... it''s the first time. Moreover, it seems that 10,000 troops suddenly appeared..."

    Undead do not spawn naturally.

    So, there''s no way 10,000 people will suddenly show up, but... it is the reality, and this much damage has been done to this city.

    It feels like it''s man-made, but who is it... and when I think about it, I suddenly notice that Styve was looking at me as if expecting something.

    "Your Highness, I have a favor to ask of you."

    "What is it?"

    "Can you put this city under His Highness'' protection?"

    "What about Baron Demonche?"

    ¡°For a long time, both I and the people of the fief have been fed up with Baron Demonche-sama¡­¡­..Because of the unreasonable heavy taxation, he acted like he didn¡¯t care about the people of the fief. You healed the wounded like this, and you even say thank you to the soldiers...that''s why everyone wants to be under His Highness."

    ...I came at the wrong time.

    Wouldn''t there be an uprising without the undead commotion?

    Also, I am not a saint.

    I''m not that good of a person, and I''m just doing what I take for granted...

    (T/N: himself take it for granted, which will lead to everyone taking it for granted, and the result should normally be the same tragedy as his two previous lives. So dear Readers, don''t forget to take credit or proper compensation for whatever you do)

    Well, even if that wasn''t the case, I know that Baron Demonche''s personality is worse than mine.

    It''s an enclave that''s a little far from my territory, and I don''t need it because it''s troublesome to manage, but... it was certain that I would get involved in the turmoil when I found this.

    If I ignore it, it will cause trouble for Philia and the others when we pass by tomorrow, so I can''t do that.

    This territory, The treatment of Baron Demonche and other things to think about, there are plenty of things to tell.

    Haha... I guess I''ll report it for the time being...

    Sometimes it''s a roundabout

    Alright, let''s settle that first.

    Thinking that, I pretended to leave my seat saying, "For now, I''ll check with His Majesty," and returned to the camp mansion with teleportation magic.

    Yeah, now I have more work to force on Regulus-niisama.

    It''s already late, so let''s finish it quickly so I can go to bed early.

 CH 47

    "I see¡­ Baron Demonche huh¡­¡±

    When we returned to the royal capital, I immediately reported this matter to Regulus-niisama and my father.

    Father heard my report and said with a sigh.

    "Originally, he wasn''t very popular, but... it''s deplorable that he can''t  fulfill his duties as a noble.  Even then, a lord who can''t protect his precious people is unnecessary."

    My father is a king who loves his people.

    It is because he is such a person that people respect him.

    I think he is cool enough to boast that I have such a father.

    "For the time being, I understand the situation. Let''s send people and supplies for support. Also, Baron Demonche will have his territory confiscated and his title of nobility stripped."

    ¡°Then we have to send an administrator there as well.¡±

    "Oh, it''s just a lot more work..."

    A deep sigh from Brother Regulus and father.

    However, a laugher blow away that atmosphere.

    "Whatever you do, Sirius! You''re truly my younger brother!"

    ¡°Raul-niisama, it hurts.¡±

    Raul-niisama, who was in a good mood patted me on the back, and praised me greatly for purifying 10,000 undead and healing the injured.

    I''m happy, but each blow is heavy, and I feel like I''m going to break.

    ¡°Ah, Sirius.You did a really good job.I will deal with this matter there right away, but¡­I think I will hand over the territory to you after seizing it from Baron Demonche.¡±

    "Me?"

    "It''s an enclave, but it''s not a bad place. The people of the territory also adore you, and everyone will be happier by having it under your direct control."

    And my opinion... where is it?

    ¡°Come to think of it, hot springs are popular in that town. Isn¡¯t it better to

    take Miss Philia and the others on vacation there than leave it to a magistrate?"

    "Hot springs...that''s certainly attractive."

    It will be like a vacation''s villa... Well, the current magistrate, Styve, is likely to die from overwork, so it may be necessary to change the governor, but the hot springs are attractive.

    The good thing is that if I transform it to my liking, it can be a wonderful hot spring resort.

    "I understand"

    ¡°Well, you should enjoy your trip for now.

    "... is it over?"

    "Sirius took care of the undead and treated the people of the territory. We have to work as well."

    My father is very considered since he doesn''t take the option of having me helping here.

    Well, I''m still a child and I used a lot of magic power for the first time in a while, so I''m honestly sleepy.

    Therefore, I am very grateful, but Regulus-niisama, who is with me, has a miserable face.

    Regulus-niisama, please don''t die from overwork.

    Later in the morning, Regulus-niisama after came to pick me up,I returned to the city, I informed Stive of the future direction.

    He was happy about the territory becoming mine in the future, and he recommended his as an administrator.

    Stive''s son used to be Stive''s assistant, but he seems to be quite capable and thinks can be entrusted to him.

    I want to make Stive retire, but I have other jobs for him, so I just asked him to pay attention to his health and not to die from overwork, to which he thanked me in tears.

    His bad working environment will disappear and his work will become regular, so from his point of view there is no greater joy.

    When I asked him about it, he said that in order to reduce the burden on his subordinates, he had to do various things by himself, and he had a lot of trouble with explaining things to various people and apologizing.

    Yeah it''s like a black company.

    He did really well.

    After that, he should spend his time looking forward to his grandchildren''s face and doing what he can.

    After giving some instructions to Stive, I went around the place where the undead were, just in case, but there wasn''t anything abnormal.

    It would be nice if it was just a coincidence, but if someone was able to artificially do something like this and there was someone who had a reason to do it, it would be troublesome.

    That said, there are no signs or traces of that in the vicinity, and Philia and the others don''t seem to have encountered any particular problems.

    This is... I''ll look into it later.

    While thinking  about that, I returned to the mansion in the camp, where my three fianc¨¦es were still awake.

    "Huh? Didn''t you go to sleep?"

    ¡°We were waiting for Sirius-sama.I don''t know what happened, but you must have been helping people in need again, so we thought we''d welcome Sirius-sama on your way home."

    From Philia and the others mouth, I''ve become a good person, but... I''m just doing what''s natural... Besides, I only do what I want to do, and I''ve decided to live my life as I please.I feel like it''s a little different, but since it''s my fianc¨¦e''s goodwill, I accept it obediently.

    (T/N: With Sirius personality, I would have long dropped this novel if it was a pure romance novel)

    "Thank you"

    "...Sirius-sama, thank you for your hard work. Shall we sleep together?"

    "Yes, let''s sleep together."

    I say that casually, but I will be sleeping with my fianc¨¦es while Brother Regulus is working until morning... I fell like a bad boy, but I also worked hard to purify the undead and heal the injured , so I should merit it.

    Yes, this is a reward.

    As for, Brother Regulus¨D¨DFight!

    Do your best not to die from overwork.

    I will send an ale to my father as well, but does Brother Raul also need it?

    Well, if that person doesn''t like it, he''ll likely slip out and practice, but from Regulus-nii-sama''s information, he seems to be able to do that, so it should be fine.

    ¡­¡­perhaps.

    That''s how I was able to enjoy the best sleep.

 CH 48

    Even though things like getting a hot spring resort were added to my future plans, I arrived at Sistasia Kingdom with my three fianc¨¦es and Regulus-niisama, who was a little tired.

    They were looking at as if they knew that the two princes were visiting, or is the carriage with the crest of the Slaind Kingdom eye-catching?

    "We''ve been waiting for you. His Majesty is waiting here."

    Soon after, Regulus-niisama and I parted ways with Philia and the others who were guided to their room, and went to have an audience with His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Sistasia.

    Am I even needed me?

    I think so, but I am still the third prince.

    It would be bad if I didn''t say hello.

    Well, Regulus-nii-sama will probably the one speaking, so it will be an easy job for me who just to keep quiet.

    ¡­¡­ that is what I thought.

    "Oh, it¡¯s been a long time, Regulus-dono. And Sirius, the last time you were still a baby, but it looks like you have grown well."

    ¡°Long time no see, His Majesty King Sistasia.¡±

    ¡°Yes, but forget the formality Regulus-dono. The audience is only in name, so to speak, this place is almost a private place."

    "...Haa, I understand. You look fine, brother-in-law."

    "Yes, brother-in-law"

    The two of spoke casually like good friends.

    Well, if I''m not mistaken, the current King of Sistasia and Regulus-niisama should have been the same age.

    His predecessor died suddenly, and he married Rosa-nee-sama before ascending to the throne, so he is a young king.

    In fact, his ability seems to be excellent, he is young and charismatic, and he seems to be loved by the people in the same way as my father.

    "Do you remember me, Sirius?"

    "I am sorry"

    "You don''t have to worry about it. I''m happy to meet my little brother-in-law."

    He has a kind of smile that is a bit different from Regulus-niisama''s, the kind of smile that is likely to make a woman blush, but from my point of view, it did nothing but highlight how handsome he is.

    To tell the truth, I vaguely remember this person hugging me when I was a baby... but I think that there was no need to say that.

    "Well then... brother-in-law. This is a letter from our father."

    ¡°Thank you, brother-in-law.¡±

    The two of them ended up exchanging a letter that is probably full of confidential information.

    Well, in fact, there are only Imperial Guards in this room, and those Imperial Guards have the young genius King''s trust, so there shouldn''t be a problem.

    "Hmmmm...hmm..."

    My brother-in-law looks at me several times and smiles meaningfully.

    Did he write something about me?

    Gently closing the letter, the Young King let the guards go back before he smiled and said.

    "I understand the circumstances, brother-in-law. Even so, my brother-in-law is growing up quite interesting."

    "Not at all. He is nothing else but my cute little brother."

    "I agree. Well then, Sirius. Would you like to meet Rosa and her children right away? Ah, brother-in-law, too."

    After saying that, he lelt the room, and I too was urged by Brother Regulus to follow.

    After a while, the number of people going in and out gradually decrease, and we eventually enter an area that seems to be the living space of the royal family.

    And when I entered a room, there was my sister Rosa, who gave the impression that she was somewhat more motherly than Sister Lesia and her children, a boy and a baby.

    ¡°Brother Regulus! Sirius!¡±

    Rosa-nee-sama happily hugged me.

    I wondered if there were other concubines and their children, but it seems that Rosa-nee-sama and her children are the only ones.

    "Rosa, it''s been a while. You look fine."

    ¡°Long time no see, Rosa-nee-sama.¡±

    "Wow! Sirius, you''ve become so much like mother!"

    Even if Rosa-nee-sama is the queen, the lawful wife of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Sistasia.

    Being a mother, she has a friendly nature, but... I guess that''s one of her charms.

    But do we look that much alike?

    ¡°Sister, those children¡­¡±

    "Yes! My son Rooseley and my daughter Melty!"

    My nephew Rooseley, who will be 3 years old this year, has the same smile as his father even though he is still young.

    ¡°Uncle Regulus, Uncle Sirius, nice to meet you.¡±

    ¡°I met you when you were baby. You''ve grown up, Rooseley. So this is Melty..."

    When Regulus-niisama picked her up, our newborn niece, Melty, smiled at him.

    I tried hugging her too, but I thought it must be the genetics of both families that she''s so lovely.

    "Now then, Sirius. Since it''s a big deal, could you bring their grandparents and their other uncle? Oh, and maybe their aunt?"

    I see, so that''s what it was.

    Apparently, my father informed brother-in-law about teleportation my magic.

    "Hmm? Hey, Hermes. What do you mean?"

    "It is okay, leave it to him."

    My brother-in-law smiles at Rosa-nee-sama who has a question mark on her face.

    By the way, brother-in-law''s name is Hermes Sistasia, but my sister seems to have abandoned the honorific.

    I obediently used teleportation magic and returned to the room in the royal castle of the Kingdom of Sistasia together with my father, mother, brother Raul, my sister-in-law, and sister Lesia.

    "Wow! When I thought Sirius disappeared, father and the others! Moreover, Lesia-chan is also there!"

    "Rosa onee-sama !"

    Rosa-nee-sama happily hugged her younger sister, Lesia-nee-sama.

    Sister Lesia looked very happy too.

    Having met for the first time after a long time, the sisters happily chatted.

    Well, both of them are married and Rosa-nee-sama is out of the country, so the chance to meet each other is probably precious.

    "Sirius, sorry for troubling you"

    "It is nothing"

    "And you look fine, Hermes."

    "Father-in-law seems to be doing well, too. Mother-in-law has become even more beautiful."

    "Oh, you''re still good at flattering."

    My brother-in-law was shut up by the irritated Rosa-nee-sama with a quick wink.

    "I was a little surprised when I read the letter, but Sirius really can use space magic."

    "Oh, I think you understand that..."

    "Yes, I have no intention to compromise my cute brother-in-law''s future either."

    It looks like brother-in-law will also be silent about these things.

    Somehow, compared to my previous life, everyone is so kind that it makes me want to cry.

    "Yo! You look fine, Hermes!"

    ¡°Brother-in-law Raul seems to be doing well as ever.¡±

    "Oh! Oh, the child looks just like Rosa!"

    ¡°Brother-in-law is the same as usual.¡±

    The way Raul-niisama treats her is also delicate, and I am amazed at the competences of this person.

    If I remember correctly, there are four other concubines other than Rosa-nee-sama, the lawful wife.

    I thought it was lascivious, but it seems that''s not the case.

    Well, as a king, I guess it would have been no good if he didn¡¯t marry them.

    As a young king, he has to give some benefits to the nobles to a certain extent to control them well.

    And then, a virtuous cycle in which Rosa-nee-sama manages the women who actually get married well... Rosa-nee-sama is surely the lawful wife that is suitable to be the queen of this country.

    Everyone has a job, so they can''t stay for long, but now that I''ve marked this country, we can meet whenever I''m here.

    Also, for some reason, Sister Lesia hugged me as well.

    It was the first time I have been hugged by my older sisters at the same time, but it reminded me that they were my sisters.

    I was made to promise to bring Rosa-nee-sama over there next time, to let brother and sister''s children meet her, and I agreed because it is natural since she is my family.

    I want to be of help to my kind family who keep my secret.

 CH 49

    After that, my father and the others left, and brother Regulus and brother-in-law Hermes decided to talk about work, so I headed to my room.

    Apart from that, I can go back home to sleep with teleportation magic, but since I''m visiting this country as a guest, I decided to stay for the night.

    ¡­¡­ I''m still not used to brother-in-law

    Hermes, but I was told to call him brother in private, so I''ll obey.

    "Come on, over here!"

    For some reason, my guide was Rosa-nee-sama.

    I was wondering if her children would be okay, but it seems that my nephew, Rooseley, is actively looking after his sister, so it''s fine.

    Apparently, Rooseley has a sister complex.

    Well, his little sister is so cute.

    I don''t have any younger brothers or sisters, including in my previous life, but I know how cute baby are from my nieces Tiffany and Suna, so I can understand.

    I myself will gladly accept being called a siscon when it comes to sister Lesia, so I understand how he feels.

    "Come to think of it, Sirius also brought his fianc¨¦e, right?"

    "Yes"

    "What kind of girls are they?"

    "All three of you are lovely."

    "Really! I''m really looking forward to meeting them!"

    Well, it is normal for my family to be interested in my fianc¨¦es .

    I was also very curious when Sister Lesia got married.

    I was still young when Regulus-niisama, and Rosa-neesama got married.

    ¡­¡­ Well, I¡¯m still pretty young, but I¡¯m 8 years old¡­ I¡¯ll be 9 years old soon, so I¡¯m close to being an adult.

    ¡°This is Sirius¡¯s room... So your fianc¨¦e should be here!¡±

    Rosa-nee-sama quickly knocks after saying that.

    I heard a reply, but from the voice, is it Philia?

    When the door opened, Shalltear was in front, and Philia and Cecil were behind her.

    Is it to protect them?

    "Oh? Are all of these girls Sirius''s fianc¨¦e?"

    "Yes, Philia, Cecil, and Shalltear."

    "Umm, Sirius-sama. Could she be..."

    "Yeah, she''s my sister."

    The three of them were nervous at those words, but Rosa-nee-sama looked at them and nodded in satisfaction.

    "Yeah yeah! Sirius has a good taste!"

    "I guess."

    "So you are Philia-chan?¡±

    "Yes..."

    Philia manages to answer when Rosa-nee-sama talked toward her.

    After saying and staring at Philia like that, Rosa-nee-sama happily hugged her.

    "You''re so cute! Besides, you might be the perfect wife for Sirius!"

    "Is that so?"

    "Yeah! This guy will definitely have more fianc¨¦es in the future, so I''ll teach you the tricks of management."

    What are the tips for managing...

    Besides, there shouldn''t be any more fianc¨¦s...

    ¡­¡­Maybe.

    Well, I''m sure that in the logic of my first previous life, I''m just a cheating man, but I think it''s a good thing that I don''t have to narrow down who I want to protect.

    I understand the feelings of the anti-harem and the pure love faction, but if I can extend my hand within my reach, I would like to do so... I''m pretentious, but it''s just the result of deciding to live freely.

    (T/N: Every harem lords will always find a twisted logic to justify themselves)

    Yes, I am free in this world.

    So, I will live my life as it  please me, no matter what others think of me.

    "...Sirius-sama, are you done with your business?"

    "Yeah, well. Were you looking after Philia?"

    "... I thought I should be doing it."

    Even from a distance, I was vigilant about the surroundings of the three just in case, so it wasn''t that dangerous, but it is more convenient if I am by their side.

    "Sirius-sama, thank you for your hard work."

    "Yeah, thank you too, Shalltear."

    "It is nothing"

    Since the two of them are originally B-rank adventurers, I have faith in

    them in terms of strength.

    Well, even so, I want to protect them as much as possible, so I can fully enjoy when I am spoiled by them.

    What a wonderful luxury.

    "That''s right! I got a good amount of tea leaves! How about I make some for everyone?"

    "Uh..."

    Philia glances at me.

    "I have some business to do, so can I ask you to keep my sister company?"

    "Do you have something going on?"

    It''s fun to interact with my sister, but I''ve decided to refrain from doing it because there''s something that is bothering me.

    "Then I''ll have the three of them keeping me accompany!"

    "Please do"

    So I left the room after leaving the three to Rosa-nee-sama.

    For some reason, I wanted to try the secret wink like the one that Rosa-nee-sama who was a little annoyed when Hermes-in-law praised my mother earlier, used to silence him, but... I restrained myself because it would be a serious accident if it went empty.

    Instead, I smiled at hem, but it didn''t look like I can convey my intentions like that, so maybe I should try practicing my wink

    ¡­¡­ Practicing winking in your room is a completely childish.

    It''s not that I am a narcissist, but for an 8-year-old, I felt like I have a childish face or a feminine face that stood out too much.

    I say it''s because I''m a child, but since I''m in the latter half of my eight years old, I wonder what will happen in the future... Well, a progression toward Brother Regulus or Brother Raul figure is likely impossible.

    Being like Raul-niisama wouldn''t work without his character, and Regulus-niisama is too high for me to climb.

    Now that I think about it, I feel like I''m surrounded only by good looks, beautiful girls, and beautiful women.¡­¡­ When it comes to royalty and nobility, the appearance is not to be joking about.

    My?  Well¡­¡­Because of the kindness of the goddess, I can use magic like before, so is it okay?

 CH 50

    A young boy was walking alone in the streets of the Kingdom of Sistasia''s royal capital... Yes, it''s me.

    ¡­¡­I know.  It''s not cool, right?  sorry.

    To tell the true, I''d like to go around with my fianc¨¦es, but that would be for a later date.

    In my case, I don''t need an escort, and I''m wearing the ring of illusion, so I won''t stand out, but I''ll still be careful.

    ¡°Uncle, please give me apple juice.¡±

    "Yes! Immediately !"

    I bought apple juice, which seems to be a specialty, and I also bought a skewer of deer meat and walked around while eating it.

    "Ah, this juice is delicious."

    As expected, the quality is different when it became a specialty.

    Why don''t I  buy this in bulk?

    "Hey! Wait!"

    As I was thinking about that, I heard a voice in front of me.

    Looking at it, it seemed that an old man had his belongings snatched, and the culprit was rushing over here.

    Stealing is not good, right?

    I use sleep magic on the man who was probably thinking that he could escape easily.

    Then, the man who was running  collapsed on the spot and rolled over

    as if a string had been cut.

    ¡°Hah¡­what just happened?¡±

    The old man collected his luggage while tilting his head, and a soldier came to capture the man.

    I ignore them and slowly enjoy the scenery.

    All of a sudden, I smelled a delicious scent of baking bread.

    When I wandered over there, I could smell the freshly baked bread coming from a small shop, so I went inside without hesitation.

    "Oh! Welcome!"

    Younger than me?

    She''s a pretty clerk, but is she the daughter of this store''s owner?

    ¡°I was lured in by the smell¡­ Can I buy some bread?¡±

    "Yes! There are many varieties."

    After buying some of the recommended items, I started to eat right outside the store.

    ¨D¨DAt that moment, an electric shock ran through my body.

    This chewy texture... how wonderful!

    Even though it''s freshly made, it may be the first time I''ve ever had such delicious bread.

    I crazily ate what I bought, and all of them are of a high level.

    Phew...the world is still big...

    Thinking that, I tried to go back to the store, but¨D¨D

    "Stop it!"

    "Oi oi, the death line for repayment is  today, right? Keep your promise when you can''t pay."

    --Thereupon, I almost unintentionally exposed my disgust.

    In front of the store, there are several bad guys, and the figure of a woman trying to protect the girl who was serving the customer earlier.

    "Your husband''s debt have to be repaid today. If you can''t pay it, you and your daughter will pay for it... that''s the promise, right?"

    A man who seems to be the leader smiled and made a questioning face.

    Asking a woman to repay her debts with her body... and I wonder if he''s a lolicon to not let go even a child of that age?

    No, isn''t that rude to all the lolicons?

    They just love and don''t touch or ask for such things (that''s what a customer from my previous life said passionately), so it''s rude to put him in the same group.

    (T/N: I think we can now make a difference between lolicon and pedophile)

    Even so, the situation is easy to understand.

    "Today''s business isn''t over yet! Besides, it should be just me, and my daughter has nothing to do with it!"

    "I didn''t say that, it''s our rule that if you can''t pay, even a kid won''t be spared."

    Ha... not good at all.

    I''ve run into some embarrassing things.

    The person who seems to be the leader tried to grab the hand of the woman while his followers who laughed vulgarly.

    However, the next moment, they suddenly collapsed, causing a commotion in the surroundings.

    People watching from afar would not help.

    Well, in the end, I put them to sleep with sleep magic.

    I don''t want to let such a delicious bakery die, and being kind to women and children is my motto.

    Ah, even if it is a man, if he is a good person, I''ll treat him kindly, you know?

    "Are you OK?"

    I approach the mother and daughter who were surprised at the sudden development and talked to them.

    "Uh...yes..."

    "That''s fine. By the way, what he said about the debt, but is it really something you have to pay?"

    "No¡­¡­"

    According to the story, the woman''s husband was deceived and forced to carry it on his back while he was alive, and he tried to return it somehow without being able to go against them.

    Judging from the amount of money, it''s not an amount that ordinary people can earn, but... that was probably their aim.

    "Why didn''t you run away?"

    "I have to protect my husband''s shop, but... I''d like to somehow get my daughter out of here..."

    "I see... By the way, when you say you''re protecting the store, do you mean the store itself? Or do you mean the taste and atmosphere of the store?"

    I wondered if it was the former, but fortunately it seems to be the latter.

    If so, there is one thing to do.

    "Then why don''t you come to my territory?"

    "Territory... Come to think of it, who are you..."

    I smiled at that question, approached the woman and whispered my name.

    "My name is Sirius Slaind. I am the third prince of the Slaind Kingdom, and I am going to be a noble with a territory."

    ¡°Third¡­¡­Prince?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I really like the bread here, and I  want you to make it in my territory... how about it?

    The woman was puzzled by the suddenness, but mutters, "But the store... and I don''t have any money...".

    ¡°Would you leave that part to me?¡±

    ¡°Um¡­why would you go that far¡­?¡±

    She seemed to gradually understand that I was serious, so she asked me that.

    Of course, there is only one answer.

    "Because a baker who can make such delicious bread and a lovely smiling girl are precious."

    The girl blushed at my words and the woman was stunned.

    Before the men woke up, I collected their luggage, and teleported to my territory. After that, I have to prepare a suitable site for the new store and a temporary residence, so will be busy for a while ¡­ Well, I''m already lucky to be able to obtain such an excellent craftsman and a lovely signboard girl.

 CH 51

    Before I knew it, it was almost dinner time at the bakery, but I was satisfied with what I have done.

    I am very satisfied when think that such a wonderful bakery will appear in my territory.

    "Heh, then a delicious bakery can be opened in Sirius''s territory."

    At the dinner table, I was asked about today''s events, and when I answered, Regulus-niisama reacted like that.

    Regulus-niisama seems to have had a hard time with his work¡­¡­Thank you for your hard work.

    "Bakery huh... Sirius may have brought some good people from here."

    My brother-in-law Hermes-in-law, the king of the Kingdom of Sistasia, eats the bread I brought along while saying such things.

    Even if you tell me to return them, I won''t, you know?

    "Even so, to think there are still people like that... Thank you, Sirius."

    "No no"

    "Really, you are so small, but do great things. As expected of Rosa-sama''s younger brother."

    "Right!"

    Sister Rosa said with a triumphant face.

    The attendants for today''s dinner are me, my three fianc¨¦s, Regulus-nii-sama, brother-in-law Hermes, the king of Sistasia, and his wife, Rosa-nee-sama.

    And further to Hermes are his four concubines and their children, all gorgeous people.

    I could have called my father and mother, but on top of being busy, they weren''t part of the delegation of this visit, so I''ll leave it for another time.

    As expected of my handsome brother-in-law, his four concubines other than Rosa-nee-sama are also beautiful, and the children are also neat.

    However, there was one thing that bothered me... there is one extra chair even though they were supposed to be prepared according to the number of people.

    It''s the seat in front of me... but it''s not like the owner is avoiding me, right?

    When I look at Philia sitting to my left, she smiles cutely, and somehow I feel relieved.

    "Sirius will prepare dinner tomorrow, right?"

    While Philia and the others are caught up in the stories of Rosa-nee-sama and the concubines, Brother-in-law Hermes asked me that.

    "Yeah, well. I hope it suits your palate..."

    "It''s okay. The dishes Sirius came up with are actually very popular at the restaurant mother opened."

    ¡°I heard that mother-in-law is selling various things, and Sirius is the source of that.¡±

    Brother-in-law Hermes said that with a certain tone.

    "I''m looking forward to it no matter what. Are you going sightseeing with your fianc¨¦es tomorrow?"

    "I''d like to, but..."

    Seeing how the three of them are getting along with the concubines, it  is a little difficult to decide to take them out.

    Well, I wonder if I can take them out by the day after tomorrow.

    "Well, you should enjoy yourself to your heart''s content. We''re finally approaching the country we can be proud of..."

    "Is it still incomplete?"

    "Of course. It''s better than before, but after all, the long-standing troubles of the country won''t go away easily. brother-in-law understands, right?"

    "Yes..."

    It''s a meaningful conversation, but it''s probably about the unpleasant negative parts of the country that can''t be openly said.

    When it comes to a large country, there will be many dark things that can''t be revealed even after many years.

    To get rid of it and make a clean country... easy to say, but incredibly difficult.

    To be honest, I can only think that, this young king who is trying to do that is amazing.

    I savor the food while thinking like that.

    Oh this is delicious.

    "Hey hey, Sirius. Can I borrow Philia-chan and the others tomorrow as well?"

    "If you can return them in one piece."

    "Of course!"

    I unintentionally gave agree with Rosa-nee-sama , but... Philia and the others look like they''re having fun, and I have some errands to do, so it''s fine.

    "Why don''t you come with us, Sirius?"

    "I''d like to go, but I have a few things to do."

    Besides, if it''s just my fianc¨¦es and my older sister, it''s fine, but if there are the four concubines of brother-in-law, I''m afraid being the only man will be awkward, so I refrain from doing so.

    ¡­¡­don''t say that there will no sense of incongruity even if we are together.

    "Uncle Sirius"

    Suddenly, Rosa-nee-sama''s eldest son, Roosely, who was supposed to be with the other children, spoke to me.

    "What''s wrong?"

    "Uncle Sirius can use magic, right?"

    "Well, just a little."

    "Calling that little"

    Brother Regulus smiled wryly.

    No, well, compared to the general public, I am probably better, but there''s still a possibility that I am still far from the goddess standards, so I''m not going to be complacent.

    "What are you good at?"

    "Maybe light healing is the best?"

    "Amazing!"

    Other concubines''s children also asked me various questions, but it''s strange to be called uncle by this many people.

    ¡°If it¡¯s uncle, can you cure older sister¡¯s illness?¡±

    "Older sister?"

    "Yes"

    "She''s my little sister. Her name is Flora, the eighth princess."

    brother-in-law Hermes''s sister and the 8th princess... That''s amazing, this is really different world.

    "Well, I can''t say anything without seeing it."

    "... That''s right. Sirius, can you try it even if it''s no good?"

    "It''s fine, but..."

    If she hasn''t been cured until...... does that mean that even the healing magician in the church could not do anything about it?

    If that is the case there is a chance that would need to that method, but I don''t want to use it if possible... I think Philia and the others will be jealous.

    With that thought in mind, I enjoyed the rest of my dinner.

 CH 52

    "This room."

    A certain room in the royal castle.

    After stopping there, brother-in-law Hermes entered after a little knocking.

    What I saw after coming in was a big bed inside, a girl laying there, and a maid taking care of her.

    "Flora, are you awake?"

    "... Yes, Onii-sama"

    "How are you feeling?"

    "I''m fine. By the way... did you bring a guest? That''s unusual."

    The girl forced to smile.

    Maybe around the same age as me?

    She has beautiful blue hair, sky blue eyes and is quite a beautiful girl, but her skin is very pale and her complexion is bad.

    Looking at her skinny figure, probably because she hasn''t eaten much, I have a slightly bad feeling.

    "Oh, he is my brother-in-law, Rosa''s younger brother, Sirius. I thought you did like to meet him."

    "Is that so, I''m sorry for letting you see me like this..."

    "My Lady!"

    "I''m fine... Thank you, Anne."

    She acts bravely, but I can see that she is in pain.

    I approach gently and cast healing magic lightly.

    ¨D¨DHowever, it turned out that there were multiple diseases that could not be cured.

    "I see... is it the ''diseases attracting constitution..."

    "ah"

    Diseases attracting constitution -- that is, a so-called peculiar constitution, a sickly constitution that casually collects all kinds of diseases from the surroundings

    In my previous life, when I was a hero, there were some people with this kind of constitution, but this is the first time I''ve seen it in this world.

    ¡°She can barely hold it with the healing of the priest. Fortunately, the progress of the symptoms is slow¡­¡±

    Does that mean it''s causing her pain?

    ¡°Also, she was born with a disability in my legs¡­ she can¡¯t walk."

    Brother-in-law discreetly whispered to me.

    "I see... I can''t do anything about her legs, but I might help with her sickness."

    "¡­¡­Really?"

    "Yeah, it''s just that, there might be a bit of a problem with the way it''s done."

    "I don''t mind. I''ll keep the secret, and if you can heal her, that''s the best."

    Brother-in-law Hermes looks serious.

    When I see Flora-sama, who is smiling bravely, and I become annoyed when I think about what I need to heal her and what I will do after.

    "¡­¡­I understand"

    Having made up my mind, I approached Lady Flora, and gently closed my lips on hers.

    Flora-sama and the surroundings  were surprised by this unexpected action.

    But what happened next surprised them even more.

    "Is this... healing? But I''ve never seen such a divine light..."

    The area was overflowing with warm green light, and even me and Flora-sama are wrapped in that light.

    Ordinary healing is useless in front of the diseases attracting constitution.

    No matter how much magical power you have, no matter how well you can use magic, it doesn''t make much sense in front of this constitution.

    ¡­¡­Yes, if it¡¯s normal.

    This method of sending healing directly into the human body in this way¡­¡­A kiss, but  it is more like artificial respiration than a kiss.

    With this method, I can force my magic power to reach deep inside the body.

    Well, there''s actually a better way to do it, but... that method is rated R18, so I can''t do it as a minor.

    Besides, I''m really sorry even for a kiss.

    Anyone would hate it to be kissed someone they just met like this, and when it comes to use this method to cure those with the diseases attracting constitution, both men and women can be cured with it, so it''s a method I don''t really want to use.

    Then, a few minutes later, after I calmly released her lips, Flora-sama turned red and stared at me with her wet eyes.

    "Fu, Flora-sama?

    "Huh...? Oh, that? It''s not painful anymore..."

    Her complexion returned to normal, and at the same time, I sent a little energy to her, which should have stabilized her condition somewhat.

    I said to Flora-sama while trying hard to not stagger.

    ¡°It¡¯s not that the diseases attracting constitution has disappeared, so uh¡­you need a regular treatment, but I don¡¯t think you will suffer for the time being.¡±

    The diseases attracting constitution cannot be removed, but if I get rid of her illness regularly like this, she should be able to lead a normal life.

    ¡­¡­However, it also means that I have to kiss her regularly¡­¡­

    ¡°It is quite surprising ¡­Sirius, you really are amazing.¡±

    "No... more importantly, I did something bad to Flora-sama."

    "No, thank you for your help."

    Flora-sama smiled after confirming her physical condition.

    I''m really sorry if it was her first kiss... but since this is like artificial respiration, and I was helping her, I think it''s okay to not count it.

    "But I understand a little of why you were reluctant. If you need a kiss to do this much, I can certainly understand your hesitation."

    "Sorry ¡­¡­"

    "No, I have nothing but gratitude for Sirius. Thank you."

    The three thanked me, but I was  desperately trying to suppress my dizziness.

    It seems that I sent in much more energy than I thought, so I''ll need a good rest later.

    ¡°That¡¯s it¡­ she needs the healing like the one just now on a regular basis, right?¡±

    "Yeah, well..."

    "Hmm¡­¡­"

    After glancing at Flora-sama and me, Brother-in-law Hermes nodded.

    "Okay, then Sirius. Will you marry Flora?"

    "Oh brother?"

    "Me?"

    "Well, take responsibility for the damage..."

    I can''t retort when he says like that, but...

    "I''m joking. But for Flora to continue to live, Sirius''s power is necessary, and how about just on the surface? I don''t want to force it, but..."

    "You can''t do it, Onii-sama. A defective product like me... even my legs can''t move... I''ll cause trouble for Sirius-sama."

    "What do you think, Sirius?"

    Defective product...

    Can she really be called a defective product just because she can''t move her legs and need regular treatment for the diseases attracting constitution?

    As for me, I have a sense of guilt for stealing her lips, and if it''s a fianc¨¦e, I don''t have to worry about Philia and the others, so I think I''ll be fine...

    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s fine as long as you don¡¯t mind Flora-sama.¡±

    ¡°I would lik¡­no, but are you okay this?"

    "Yeah, but I don''t want to switch my legal wife, Philia, that''s the only condition..."

    I was worried about that, but brother-in-law Hermes nodded to it.

    "Ah, then there''s nothing to worry about. This girl''s mother is a commoner, so it doesn''t matter if she''s a little lower in the ranks, and if I can leave her to my cute brother-in-law, that''s the best."

    "...Then, the rest is up to you."

    When she heard that, Flora-sama hesitated for a little before asking.

    "Um... I can''t live without relying on someone like this, and on top of that, I''m a defective product that can''t even move my legs...is it okay? I''m..."

    "Hmm, I think you don''t have to lower yourself so much."

    "Eh¡­¡­?"

    "Flora-sama, you''re cute, and when you talk to me, I know you''re a kind person, and I think that is enough for me."

    Yes, frankly speaking, she has something that stuck in my heart, just like Philia.

    Can''t move your legs?

    Then I''ll carry you and take you to various places.

    Let me help you for the rest of your life.

    Diseases attracting constitution?

    I''ll treat you properly so that you don''t suffer, so that''s not a problem.

    Well, for me, she wouldn''t be a burden, and even if we can''t have children, I don''t mind.

    ¡­¡­Yes, that¡¯s right.  I kissed her and my feelings began to grow.

    I didn''t intend to increase the number of concubines anymore, but rather, with a girl like this, I think I''ll be able to spend a leisurely life, and besides, I''ve decided to live as I please, so please call me whatever you want, even if it is lascivious.

    After hearing my words, Flora-sama stared at me in a daze...and smiled.

    "Sirius-sama is a strange person."

    "Yes?"

    "Um... can you please call me without honorific?"

    "...I understand, Flora."

    "Then, Sirius-sama... I''m a little person, but please take care of me."

    Flora smiling like that was really cute.

    That''s how I got one more fianc¨¦e again... but I have to explain it properly to Philia and the others...

 CH 53

    "I see... I understand. Then I''ll say hello tomorrow."

    When I told Philia about Flora, prepared to kneel down on the ground, she was easily accepted it.

    ¡°However, Sirius-sama¡­¡­before that, I have something to ask of you.¡±

    "What?"

    "Please come over here"

    When I sat down on the bed after being told that, Philia slowly invited me to her lap.

    Yes, it''s a lap pillow.

    ¡°Um¡­ Philia?¡±

    I''m happy, but it is sudden so I am also surprised.

    Philia gently speaks to me.

    She said, "you have a slightly pale complexion. I''m sure you did something unreasonable for Flora-sama''s sake, didn''t you?"

    I was surprised.

    My complexion is bad... even though Flora and Hermes'' brother-in-law didn''t notice anything...

    "...How did you notice?"

    "Ever since you entered the room, you''ve been a little strange."

    "Huh... I''m no match for Philia."

    ¡°I am Sirius-sama¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡±

    Philia strokes my head while saying so.

    I instinctively entrust my consciousness to her gentle hand.

    Come to think of it, it might be the first time.

    When did someone get worried about me like this?

    For example, my first life.

    No matter how hard it was, I couldn''t tell anyone, and it was a hopless environment.

    I couldn''t run away, and even if it was hard, I was desperate not to lose my job.

    Even in my second life, I was called a hero, but in the end I was just used until my body broke down.

    You may think that I had more power than them, so I should just run away, and after doing that, I won''t have any troubles.

    Precisely because I couldn''t--no, I died from overwork because I couldn''t.

    It was natural if I do something or that I was able to do it.

    Was it my first previous life that I was punished if I couldn''t do it?

    Things that have been ingrained since childhood do not disappear so easily.

    Even at my second reincarnation, it was not an exception.

    That''s why I couldn''t resist the warmth of Philia, who is gently enveloping me like this.

    "...Hey, Philia"

    "Yes"

    "Will you sleep with me tonight?"

    "Of course. I''m going to have Sirius-sama all for myself tonight."

    I slept with them, including Cecil and Shalltear, several times on the way to Sistasia.

    However, it may be the first time for the two of us to sleep alone like this.

    Cecil and Shalltear had somehow read the atmosphere and left the room.

    The matter of Flora seems to have been accepted, and it''s helpful since I

    didn''t need to use my remaining physical strength to explain, but it may be necessary for the two of them to sleep separately today.

    I have 3 fianc¨¦s... No, I have 4 with Flora, the number is increasing, but it can''t be helped since it is the result of my decision to act freely.

    When we enter the futon together, Philia hugs me gently.

    I''m showing my pathetic side... I want to show a more cool side, but in front of Philia, I''m the one being spoiled like this.

    Is it her kindness?

    I must have fallen in love with her because she is such a girl.

    ¡°Sirius-sama, I¡¯m not saying that you can''t help others, but please take care of yourself. You are more important than anything else."

    To take care of myself... Maybe it''s the first time I''ve been told that.

    I see... can I take care of myself?

    Live freely! That is what I have been  saying all this while.

    Without being bound by anything, I can do what I want and live the way I want - in that case, I have to think about myself a little for the sake of those who care about me.

    Philia makes me realize that.

    I am still bad after all...

    "Thank you, Philia."

    "Of course it is my duty."

    "Then, can I ask something from you?"

    "Yes, anything please"

    "It doesn''t have to be a lullaby, but I would like you to sing me a song or hum for a while."

    It was a song I never heard before, but after she put my head on her lap the other day, Philia sang it instead of her lullaby.

    So, after I asked, Philia smiles and begin to sing softly.

    While listening to that song, my consciousness fell into darkness, but strangely, I felt good.

    I don''t know how to say it... I feel something like motherhood.

    I think that Philia, who seems to have mother qualifications at this age, is really amazing, but I have to show my cool side as much as I am spoiled like this.

    Well, for the time being, I hope Philia and the others will be able to get along with Flora tomorrow... Both Philia and Flora are good girls, so I''m sure they''ll be fine.

    I fell in love with these girls because of that.

    The sleep that day was more comfortable than usual, and it was a good sleep, but when I think that this is waiting for me after getting married, I felt like I should work harder.

    For my cute fianc¨¦e, I have to do what I can.

    Like that, while listening to a cute lullaby, I slept soundly until morning to recover my strength and magic.

    Even so, is it just my imagination that I feel that Philia''s legal wife''s dignity has begun to show?

 CH 54

    I fell asleep after being healed by Philia''s care, so my physical strength had recovered the next day.

    After finishing breakfast, we went to Flora''s room with Cecil and Shalltear.

    ¡°Flora, are you feeling okay?¡±

    "Yes, thanks to Sirius-sama."

    Flora who is on the bed show a beautiful smile.

    She seemed to be able to sleep and eat properly for the first time in a long time.

    "So, are those over there Sirius-sama''s fianc¨¦es?"

    "Yeah, my legal wife Philia and my concubines Cecil and Shalltear."

    After the introduction, Philia and the others greeted her.

    Philia solemnly greeted her as the daughter of an aristocrat, Cecil was calm as usual, and Shalltear was a little nervous.

    Flora also answered the greetings from the three of them, but after that they began to talk like they knew each other for a long time, so I decided to leave.

    At first, I wanted to see how Flora was doing, but from the look at it, she seems to be okay, so I''m relieved.

    Due to the nature of the diseases attracting constitution, she needs treatment at least once a week.

    "Hmm? Hey, Sirius. Have you finished talking with Flora?"

    When I was walking while thinking about such things, Brother-in-law Hermes and Brother Regulus who were passing by called out to me.

    "Yeah, right now,  she is talking happily with just my fianc¨¦es."

    "That''s good. It seems like Flora will be able to get along with them after marrying you."

    "Is Sirius going somewhere?"

    "Yes, I have some business to do."

    I couldn''t find it yesterday, but I''ve heard of something that I always wanted is in this country.

    "Then, before that, why don''t we go and report to Father once? Hermes and I also have something we want to ask him."

    "OK"

    In any case, I was planning to report my engagement with Flora, so I nodded and headed to my father with transfer magic with the two of them, and my father said with a wry smile.

    ¡°I never expected you to increase the number of fianc¨¦es before you even got married ¡­ But to strengthening our friendly relations, the engagement with Princess Flora is just right. So we will follow as it is.¡±

    Sister Rosa is married into the Kingdom of Sistasia, and Flora will be married into the Kingdom of Slaind.

    I see, it''s true that both Kingdom are balanced by marrying princesses in the other.

    Most of all, since brother-in-law said that Flora will not be the legal wife, it is the  ideal situation to shut up some annoying aristocrats.

    Originally, Flora was like any  illegitimate child with a commoner, she was an odd existence even in the castle, but after her father, the king, died and my brother-in-law took over the government, he immediately silenced those who disliked Flora.

    The concubines, Flora''s stepmothers, were also forced into retirement.

    That was to make his sister''s life as easy as possible, so brother-in-law Hermes is a good brother.

    Unfortunately, I don''t have a younger sister, but if I did, I would really like to be such a cool older brother.

    ¡°However, four¡­ I think we might need to increase Raul and Regulus''s concubines as well.¡±

    "No, no, I don''t need it."

    "Me too! We will think about it if father also get some!"

    "I have no intention of marrying anyone other than my wife."

    Father replied clearly to Raoul-niisama''s words.

    Somehow, it''s really cool... I already have four fianc¨¦s, so it will no work for me, but maybe I''ll try to imitate it?

    "Well, I guess I''ll just have to get that part right. Father-in-law other than that. Regarding Flora''s wedding..."

    "You said she is handicapped... hmm, it is difficult..."

    Flora also wants to have a wedding at the same time as Philia and the others, but since they can''t walk, the three of us need to think about a solution.

    Brother Raoul?

    He is leisurely drinking tea and eating sweets.

    ¡°On the day of the event, we will prepare a special seat¡­ Do you feel like we should leave the movement to Sirius or a servant?¡±

    ¡°The attending nobles might say something¡­ they might say stupid things like being treated better than the legal wife.¡±

    Come to think of it, I remembered that I have never seen a wheelchair in this world.

    Normally, if someone can''t walk due to illness or injury, he did just lay down and do nothing, so people probably didn''t even come up with anything in particular.

    "Then what about something like this?"

    I nonchalantly created a wheelchair with earth magic, and tried recommending it.

    The response was more favorable than expected, so the idea was adopted and it was soon made by the castle''s craftsmen.

    Regarding the sale of this, there was a discussion between my mother and Hermes brother-in-law, but it seems that it will be sold according to the situation.

    Well, I have no problem if Flora can move freely, and the role of pushing Flora''s wheelchair is something that I don''t have the chance to do with my other fianc¨¦es, so it was fresh and fun.

    Even so, Flora''s wedding dress huh... I thought from the bottom of my heart that it should be as good as the other fianc¨¦es, so we need to prepare it ahead of time.

 CH 55

    After my brothers finished talking, I was walking alone in the royal capital of Sistasia Kingdom.

    That ingredient must be somewhere...

    Thinking so, after spinning around for a while, I was finally able to find it.

    The ingredient was placed in a corner so it did not to stand out.

    It''s definitely the item I was looking for.

    "Yeah? Come in, do you want to buy something?"

    "Uncle, that reddish-brown thing is ..."

    "Oh, these? They are red beans."

    So it is really it!

    Yes, what I was looking for was red beans.

    It hurts that there is no mochi, but it can be used for various other dishes, so I want it.

    It is not cultivated in my homeland, Slaind Kingdom, but I got the new that it can be found in Sistasia Kingdom

    but... I didn''t expect it to be left alone in the corner of a store like this.

    "Do you want to buy it? However, people don''t seem to like it very much."

    "Is that so?"

    ¡°It seems that a nobleman who bought it before got sick after eating it, and had trouble breathing.¡±

    "Oh, maybe I''m allergic."

    Did I mention I''m allergic to soybeans?

    I think it also had beans in it.

    "Allergy? What is it?"

    "Well, to put it simply, it''s like a poison that only affects certain people. It doesn''t harm other people if they eat it, but if someone with an allergy eats it, it''s just like poison."

    Allergies are good!

    There was an old man at work in my previous life who said stupid things like that, but he probably wouldn''t be able to understand it unless he saw the allergy symptoms once.

    Well, I feel sorry for people who suffer  because of that, but it''s difficult to explain allergies.

    There were some customers with allergies, so I know how difficult it can be.

    I feel really sorry when I hear that they can''t eat bread or cake even though they like it because of wheat allergies.

    In my previous life, it could be treated, but I guess allergies are not recognized in this world.

    Well, it''s hard to believe that a lot of people can eat and a few can''t.

    I have to see this all the time.

    "... So it is poisonous or not?"

    ¡°It¡¯s normal.Well, this is just a constitutional thing, so if you can eat normally, there''s no problem."

    "Is that so...  boy, you sure know a lot"

    ¡°Because I knew someone like that.¡±

    The owner has an admiring expression, but well, even if I talk about allergies, I don''t think many people will understand.

    In particular, if there is a nobleman who has become like that, the impression will not be changed so easily.

    Even in this world, I pray that medicine will somehow progress, but in that respect, since there is magic, people can somehow deal with it, so is it better than my previous life?  I asked the shopkeeper while thinking about such things.

    ¡°Uncle, is there just this much here?¡±

    "No, there are some in the back."

    "Then, please give me as much as you can."

    "I''m saved, but do you have enough money, boy?"

    "Yes, yes"

    The shopkeeper who was surprised when I handed it to him, sold me red beans.

    "It is not selling very much, and buying it helps me a lot, so there I will give you a discount "

    "Thanks so much"

    Well, if he can give me a discount, I''ll take advantage of that kindness

    "Isn''t there anything else?"

    ¡°Sorry, this is all I have right now.I wish I could go to the place where they are making it..."

    "Can you tell me where?"

    "Oh, I don''t mind. But is it really necessary?"

    "Yes"

    After asking the strange-looking shop owner to tell me where it was produced, I left the shop.

    Since I don''t want to show my space magic in front of too many people, I use it to put away the large amount of red beans once I passed by an empty back alley,

    That''s how I got the red beans I have been longing for... Now, I want to find a place with sticky rice.

    Ohagi, it is delicious... Now that I think about it, I remember there was an anime about needles in the Ohagi, but it''s an anime... I can''t make it.

    It will take time to train as an animator, and I only want to do things I can enjoy as an individual.

    It''s definitely not because I''m lazy, you know?

    Recreating knowledge you don''t know takes time no matter what you do, and you can''t do it without actual knowledge.

    Above all, isn''t it fatal that there is no video support?

    It takes a long time for things like television and the internet to spread, and in this world where magic is common, it will take even more time for science to progress.

    Well, magic might evolve in various ways, but it is clear that a technology that can produce images using magic is still far from being put to practical use.

    If there were a world where both magic and science were developed, it would be amazing, but I think that would be hard to live in such a world, and I prefer a world like this one.

    Yeah, this world is the best.

    (T/N: there are no easy world out there, it depends on what you want and what you have.

    Sirius thinks that that world is the best because of his status and power, but don''t forget those who suffer because of monsters and other things, just like the undead attack.)

    While smiling that thought, I leisurely enjoyed sightseeing until it was time to prepare dinner.

    I''m looking forward to going around with my fianc¨¦e, but spending time alone isn''t bad either.

    The apples juice was especially delicious, so I stocked up in large quantities, but apple pies might also be good.

    Well, tonight will probably focus on the recipes that I want to eat, but I''ll do my best to make sure Flora and Rosa also like it.

 CH 56

    Today, I finally got my hands on some red beans, so let''s cook right away!

    ¡­¡­ Well, I couldn''t do that, so I just let it dry after heat-treating a part of it.

    Why can''t I cook it now?

    No, when I make a new dish, my mother usually comes to find me to decide our future planning, so I plan to cook it after I return.

    ¡°Then, nice to meet you, Balban.¡±

    "Hey! Likewise!"

    This man with the insanely scary face is Balban, the royal chef of the Kingdom of Sistasia.

    The kitchen of Slaind Kingdom is the place where I usually cook, and I learned various things there.

    Well, the kitchen of Sistasia Kingdom is fine, but it''s more efficient to cook in a familiar kitchen with familiar members, so I teleported us there.

    Of course,  he promised to keep the secret about teleportation magic, and  he looks like is a nice person to talk to, so he''ll probably keep the secret.

    "Uncle!"

    "knuckle!"

    But when I teleported to the kitchen of Slaind Kingdom, for some reason my niece, Tiffany, started tackling me as usual.

    "... Tia, why are you in the kitchen at this hour?"

    "For some reason, I felt like uncle was here!"

    She gave a very cute laugh "hi hi!", but I''m currently officially in the Kingdom of Sistasia, and the place and timing of returning with teleportation magic should be random, so I feel a certain kind of awe at my niece who naturally hits the mark.

    "Are you... Zephus!?"

    "... Balban?"

    On the other hand, while I was being attacked by my niece, two men beside me raised their voices in surprise.

    "Huh? Did you know each other?"

    "Eh, yeah ... we worked together a long time ago."

    "Before I was scouted over there, I was working in this country!"

    "Scout?"

    It seems that Balban was competing with Zephus in this country before leaving.

    To think that these two are now the best chefs in the country...that''s amazing.

    "Well, Tia. Can you move away?"

    The two are happy to meet again, and were feeling nostalgic, but of course I won''t be in that conversation, so I spook to the person I should speak to first.

    The princess, who was riding on top of me who fell down due to the impact of the assault, answered my words with an angelic smile.

    "No"

    ¡­¡­Why don''t I find it surprising?

    "Uncle! Take me with you!"

    ¡°Hmm, but did you get permission from your mother?¡±

    "Of course! She said I should find you!"

    ¡­¡­Well, normally she wouldn''t think she could catch me since, she didn''t know when I will come with transfer magic.

    I don''t know if it''s a coincidence, but since I was found, I can''t ignore it.

    ¡°Hmm, then can you please check again?

    "Understood!"

    My niece, who couldn''t stop moving, left the kitchen immediately.

    Well, since my sister-in-law, shouldn''t have expected for her to discover me, and I''m sure she''ll reject her even if she found me.

    "Uncle! Mommy is fine!"

    ¡­¡­While I was thinking that, Tiffany came back, as my sister-in-law was nearby.

    A little later, my sister-in-law showed up holding Suna.

    "I''m sorry, Sirius. Can you take her just for dinner?"

    "Um... I''m fine, but Suna what about Suna?"

    "That, this girl is afraid of other countries, so she doesn''t like it--oh,shouldn''t I have said that?"

    Suna hit her mother gently.

    ...I see, so that is the reason.

    I smiled at Suna.

    "So, can you take tia?"

    ¡°Understood¡­¡­I will tell Regulus-niisama.¡±

    "Thank you"

    "yay!"

    After smiling at the happy Tiffany, sister-in-law left with Suna.

    "... uncle, picture book"

    "Next time."

    "...Promise"

    After saying that she wants to read the next realize of the picture book as soon as possible, Suna left the kitchen with sister-in-law, looking satisfied.

    "Then, I''ll send you right away... can you be a good girl and behaves yourself over there?"

    "Yes!"

    "Very well. Zephus, Balban. I''m sorry, but could you start first? I''ll send tia over there."

    "I understand"

    "Hey! With pleasure!"

    When Barban says that, it''s amazing how he looks like a sushi chef I saw on TV.

    He seemed to be at a ramen shop or something.

    Well, I''ve never seen either of them in real life.

    And so, I informed her father, Regulus-niisama about Tiffany, asked my fianc¨¦es to take care of Tiffany, and then returned to her kitchen to cook.

    Luckily, all of my fianc¨¦es were in Flora''s room, and when I asked for it, my kind niece didn''t say anything mean when she saw Flora''s condition,  instead she said, "You''re so beautiful just like philia-onee-chan!" and praised Flora.

    Certainly, Flora''s blue hair is as beautiful as  Philia''s silver hair.

    As expected of my niece, I praised her for noticing it.

    Seeing such a situation, Flora asked, "Is this child going to be your fianc¨¦e, too?"

    In response to that question, the young Tiffany said as usual, "I''m going to be your uncle''s wife!" And showed a bright smile...well, it''s a kid''s joke, right?

    Well, I''m sure her lovely prince will appear soon.
