《Harem of the Dora Prince》 Volume 1, Prologue Volume 1, Prologue Oji-san said that marriage is a graveyard of one''s life. If what he said is true, then what on earth shall I call the graveyard......when my bride asks? ¡°Hmm. Oh, do you understand that it isn''t settled by only one word?" I survey the surrounding in pother while shrinking the tightness of the marriage costume which I''m not used to wearing. A gorgeous light shines strong from a colored stained glass window. The Eureragan cathedral, it has a large-scale decoration, a holy place where eternal love is promised to each other and its form changes to a ceremonial hall where the new bound is celebrated......the several attendances dressed up in formal dresses are anxiously waiting for the bride to come. Thinking only about that, I wonder why? despite how much I disliked marriage, I¡¯m still very calm. This one month. Even though there were troubles and a lot of serious hardships that I have encountered, it was really fun. I could abandon my delusion by that guy¡äs divine protection......no, it was possible to make those problems leave. ¡°Haha. Next what kind of face will the neighbor make when they hear of this." The door of the cathedral is slowly opened, as respond to my self mockery mutter that leaked out. The whole ceremonial hall went silent©¤©¤everyone''s breath stopped after seeing the pretty bride. ¡°Finally. tch, just how long are you gonna make me wait." I look back and see a proud bride. She wears a lovely dress, her beautiful hair that has no split ends swings around and her chest is thrown out openly and squarely, while she observes me with a brilliant and smiling face......An important existence that only belongs to me. Earnestly she is strong and gentle...... This irreplaceable form of a bride who delights me more than everyone is here. There are also a lot of other parts I could name, but such a thing is the only fuel which makes my life fascinating. Anyway I like the world''s most©¤©¤ ¡°Let''s do this! It¡¯s our wedding!¡± Interesting thing. Volume 1, 1: The dragon-riding Dora Prince Volume 1, Chapter 1: The dragon-riding Dora Prince Rusanas continent accounts for thirty-percent of the world and consists of five countries. The five countries are neatly divided into North, South, East and West, with one remaining country in the center. This world has the culture of great diversity, with a long history and original development. Fencing, Science, Magic, Cryptid©¤©¤the powers that symbolize each of the four surrounding country stand strong, but, even so, they cannot match the central country that possesses the most power, Dibair. Although surrounded by other countries, Dibair increased its power by taking in the different cultures from the other four......and, as the result, is currently ruling the continent of Rusanas. They mediated with other four countries and have been contributing to a peaceful foundation......whenever they are faced with a serious crisis, under certain circumstances, they will discuss that matter together. ¡°Huuuh? This is the reason why Prince Craft is a good-for-nothing?" Shop owner Inside the castle town of Dibair¡¯s imperial capital, Ragwardo. On the street of the market area, bustling with a great number of merchants, I was having a conversation with the storekeeper of a fruit shop. "It¡¯s seriously bad! As for the story that I¡¯ve heard, the prince seems to be absorbed in traveling throughout the continent. That''s unmistakably the Dora prince! You, don''t you know about that?" Shop owner ¡°......Unfortunately, I am not interested in those kinds of story. Leaving that aside, how much for that Kiupuru?" Craft Listening to the story was giving me a headache, so I stopped talking and reached for a fruit that was on sale. However, my hand was stopped by the store owner. "It¡¯s fine, just listen until the end! Otherwise, I won¡¯t sell you anything!" Shop owner "What a stingy store owner. Your shop will go bankrupt if you keep choosing customers like that." Craft I drew my hand back and took a flask out from the inner pocket of my overcoat. Inside this flask was bittersweet Raguniano spring water from the village where I had stayed at before. Although it wasn¡¯t as good as the Kiupuru, it was sour and delicious. ¡°Hmm? Onii-san, is that a gun that you¡¯re hiding under your coat?¡± Shop owner ¡°Ah, this? It¡¯s not that rare of an object these days, is it?" Craft The store owner stared at me with a surprised face when I took out the flask instead of the gun. "You, are you from Baretoria? Your hair is red instead of blonde, though.¡± Shop owner ¡°Hey hey, if I have a gun then I¡¯m an old-fashioned person from Baretoria by default? What kinda stereotype is that??" Craft The western country, Baretoria is the country where machine technologies, such as steam engines, guns, and so forth, are developed. It''s clear that the common feature of Baretoria people is blond hair, whether you are clumsy or a shining beauty. Therefore, there were only a few humans from another country with a different hair color that were currently here. "For a long time, I did business in various places, and, wherever I went, the people from Isamura are black-haired, while Bunna people are tanned. Kurin¨®s people are demi-humans. And, if you aren''t blond, you are from Dibair.¡± Shop owner The storekeeper replied and tapped my shoulder with a laugh. I didn¡¯t not feel bad because of his cheerful character. ¡°No, I''m sorry elder brother. However, carrying such a large sword around¡­¡­is it for your upcoming trip?¡± Shop owner "It¡¯s often said that a strong man doesn''t choose his weapon, but, according to me, I am more accustomed to this weapon, making it the best." Craft I was carrying the Red Emperor sword, and on my waist was the Blue Demon gun. These two, specifically, are my favorite partners. ¡°Wahahahahaa! Welp, you got me there. Good, take one of this Kiupuru!¡± Shop owner ¡°Is that okay? Do you still want to talk?¡± Craft ¡°Rumors have that the prince also uses a combo of sword and gun like you. It''s out of consideration for this strange accident." Shop owner I caught the fruit that the store owner threw towards me with one hand and took a bite. ¡®Heee, it is delicious.¡¯ The ratio of the sweet and sour was almost perfect, and it was beyond good. ¡°Thank you. By the way, have you seen the Dora Prince before?¡± Craft ¡°Craft-san? Noo, that person rarely appears.¡± Shop owner ¡°I thought you would say that. Well, it is more convenient that way......¡± Craft ¡°Ha? What do you mean, brother?¡± Shop owner The store owner didn¡¯t understand my words, he tilted his head in confusion, and it made me laugh. I then placed my forefinger on my mouth. ¡°I thank you for giving me such a good Kiupuru, in exchange, I will show you something good.¡± Craft I equipped the goggles that is hanging around my neck and throw the Kiupuru which I had in my hand into the air. "If Ossan said that, Prince Craft has two weapons, the red emperor sword, and the blue demon gun. However, can you be certain that he has no other weapons?" Craft The moment I finished talking, the Kiupuru I threw into the air disappeared. That big eater, he appeared faster than calling a person......did he wait for a long time? ¡°Br-Brother? Wh, wha, what is that large thing?¡± Shop owner The street stall was covered by a large entity, gradually making it darker, as if it was night time, and giving the store owner¡äs face a flustered look. Everyone who passed by were in awe and couldn¡¯t find the words to describe when they looked up at the sky. ¡®No, that is no sky. That''s©¤©¤¡¯ ¡°This is an Admol dragon. It is my......Prince Craft¡äs contracted mythical beast.¡± Craft The large dragon, who was blocking the sunlight, roared loudly. Every time the dragon flapped his purple wings, which are harder than steel, he made a strong wind that shook the market¡¯s flag, creating a dust cloud. Although it was me who called him here, he wasn''t really a troublesome fellow. ¡°Why did it come! The height is increasing!¡± Shop owner After I jumped once on a street lamp, and twice on a street stall, I jumped onto the back of that large dragon. ¡°See you - Ossan! Let''s meet again soon.¡± Craft I left store owner dumbstruck and unable to stand up due to fear, then I landed on Kaitos¡¯ back who spread his wings and took flight. The flying speed was rapidly increasing as we gradually climbed the ladder to heaven without breathing. We cut through the wind and roamed the sky; the reaction of the people in the market was very interesting. ¡°Kuku, hey Kaitos? Aren''t their faces fascinating?¡± Craft ¡°......Craft, you have crappy tastes as always. This is why weird rumors such as this tend to spread¡± Kaitos Seeing me laugh, Kaitos scolded me with his deep and heavy voice; the reverberation of his tone could shake the earth. This guy had scolded me many times up until now. "It''s noisy, you glutton. Do you want to sleep without eating dinner?" Craft ¡°Guu......that would be a problem. My reasons to live are still increasing." Kaitos "I guess you''re still growing and getting larger. Well, umm, I think I prefer the smaller you more, you were certainly cuter." Craft When I pat the horns on his head, Kaitos happily rolled his eyes. Is this dragon just friendly, or is he just spoiled rotten......? ¡°Alright, take this way to the castle. If you want, you can just smash through the wall into the throne room.¡± Craft [Editor¡¯s Note: Yup. I approve.] Once my father, who was the current king, died, it would make me happy, but I wouldn¡¯t prefer if troublesome things kept popping up. It''s better not to cause any trouble. ¡°Craft, does this have something to do with the conversation you had? That you should return to Dibair?" Kaitos ¡°No. I think that I should just go ahead and directly negotiate with them, before they send in a mountain of trouble." Craft I kept traveling happily while assassins were sent to kill me every single day. Although I had faith that I wouldn''t be defeated, it would be great if they didn¡¯t send a lot of them at the same time. ¡°However......you must prepare yourself to succeed the throne soon.¡± Kaitos ¡°Ah, is it already that time? To be honest, I really don¡¯t wanna do that when he dies.¡± "I can respect that......muu, we¡¯re arriving soon.¡± Craft Kaitos descended from the clouds and covered the whole town of Ragwardo with his shadow. Standing out in the scenery and soaring high was the castle of Dorura which was built with dragon bones and silver ore. It¡¯s the place where he grew up, his home. ¡°Where do you want to get off, Craft? I won''t break the wall, though.¡± Kaitos "Okay, that balcony looks good. The throne should be nearby.¡± Craft The soldiers on guard duty, who saw Kaitos decreasing his speed and approaching the castle, ran up and came near. And in addition to that, their reactions didn''t seem normal for some reason. ¡°Pr, Prince! Prince Craft has finally returrnnneed!¡± Soldier 1 ¡°Uooooo! Princeeee! Craft-samaaa! UoaaaAAAA!!¡± Soldier 2 The guard soldiers cheered and expressed their joy with their whole body while shedding tears. Why are they so happy about my return? And I don¡¯t like those fools who are constantly taking pictures with a Vision-Copying stone. ¡°Hey hey! We aren''t a show!" Craft I drew my demon gun from the holster on my waist and decided to aim for the Vision-Copying stones in the hands of the soldiers. ¡°I hate being photographed. The number is 12......I know that it¡¯s bad, but I will have to destroy them.¡± Craft The following moment, when I pulled the trigger, a reddish brown bullet was shot out from the barrel, followed by a slow launching sound. The demon gun, which uses the magical power of its owner and turning it into a bullet, could be used easily, giving me the power to freely adjust it to my liking. ¡°Hoi, Hoi Hoi, Hoooiii!¡± Soldier 3 The magic bullet soared in a straight line, in order to penetrate its target. Although the soldiers moved their bodies naturally to avoid the bullets, even if they are locked on©¤©¤my magic bullets wouldn¡¯t miss their targets. The bullets destroyed all 12 Vision-Copying stones that the soldier had. ¡°I saw Kaitos and Simultaneous Bullet Control!" Soldier 4 ¡°All bullets hit its mark. Splendid, Craft. I always fall in love with your skill whenever I see it.¡± Soldier 5 ¡°When he is serious, it won¡¯t be this weak. Leaving that aside, Kaitos is slowly becoming smaller. Only a fool would let him in when he¡¯s in in his large form¡± Soldier 6 I returned the gun to the holster on my waist, jumped off Kaitos¡ä back and landed on the balcony. Having seen me nodding as a signal, Kaitos wrapped himself in a glaring light and transformed. To rest his body after a battle, he would return to his original form. His huge appearance with sharp claws and fangs changed to a small one; he moved by flapping his wings. Now, he looked more like a lizard with wings rather than a dragon. ¡°Either way, now you look like a child. Why is it that you can transform?¡± Craft ¡°Admol dragons can morph, depending on the situation. This is probably their way to adapt to their environment." Kaitos I asked while removing my goggles, and Kaitos answered with a sweet voice like that of a young girl. Even if I¡¯d heard his cute voice many times until now, I nearly burst out laughing. ¡°......Well, is that so? And you may sit on my shoulder." Craft ¡°Sorry Craft. I like this place very much." Kaitos Kaitos lowered his feet on my shoulder while flapping. The sharp claws on Kaitos¡äs feet disappeared and were now soft and strangely ticklish. ¡°Now, let''s go to the throne......Hey! You stalkers!¡± Craft The soldiers who had gathered and was looking stealthily at us from behind the wall before averting their eyes. Since when did the guards of this castle become cowardly during this one year when I wasn''t here......so pathetic. "Don''t be lazy and quickly return to your positions! Go!¡± Craft The group of soldiers fled and scattered like spider hatchlings in the forest of Ishida.. I had only seen them once, but they were seriously disgusting. "Aren¡¯t you glad to see that, bizarre object lover?..... They''re just like Explosive Spiders." Craft "Their feet are crispy and very delicious. Craft, I also hope you would try them once.¡± Kaitos "Isn''t there neurotoxin in the feet of those explosive spiders? The taste isn''t the problem here." Craft "What do you mean? That poison is the best spice!" Kaitos This lizard must always have the last word. When I confirmed my determination in secret, suddenly, a clear voice was heard from behind me. ¡°Oya? Would you like Explosive Spiders for dinner?" Zenan "This voice......Zenan? It''s been a while.¡± Craft Appearing from the shadow of a pillar was Zenan, the chief maid of Dorura castle. ¡°Oh, it''s been a while. Prince Craft Serima Dibair¡± Zenan ¡°Craft is fine. Stop being so formal, call me like before.¡± Craft Zenan would normally be discreet as a worker in the castle, but it was different when there was only me and her. In the past, this beauty named Zenan with brown eyes and jade long hair was a playmate of mine, and she was also like a big sister to me. "Then, I shall address you as Craft-sama, who had left the castle and made Zenan feel lonely every night, for one whole year.¡± Zenan ¡°It¡¯s been a while! By the way, you are not the same as before right?!¡± Craft ¡°That¡¯s harsh. However, nothing has changed and Zenan¡äs bust is still in growing age.¡± Zenan ¡°Is it really......? No, it wasn''t so flat. I¡äm happy that you haven¡¯t changed much, though.¡± Craft "Thank you very much. Now then, His Majesty, the mustache old man, and the bald minister are waiting, so this way, please." Zenan The chopboard maid took the lead when Kaitos and I entered the castle. It appeared that she ignored me and my irresponsibility; I assumed that it was fine. ¡°Craft-sama, you seem to have grown considerably in this one year......*slurp*¡± Zenan ¡°Well, while I traveled, I also trained, and I was happy because I got to see a lot of unusual things." Craft "Thank you very much for protecting Craft-sama, Kaitos." Zenan ¡°Umu. That journey was very helpful, for both of us." Kaitos "That''s for the best. Although, I would like to hear the story in details......it''s a shame.¡± Zenan "Oh, have we already arrived? It is really close to that balcony.¡± Craft I noticed a big door made from Garedonma crystal in front of me. Oh dear. I like this gorgeous ornament......I''m satiated whenever I see it. ¡°Well then, Craft-sama. There is still other work for this lovely maid, Zenan, to carry out, so please excuse me." Zenan ¡°Oh, work hard. I¡¯ll talk to you later.¡± Craft When I put my hand on the door, the lovely, but expressionless, Zenan showed her curtsies and left through the hallway. I was also aware that she was looking at my face intently......well, that¡¯s fine. ¡°......Then, I should go, too.¡± Craft I used all my strength to open the graceful door and a creepy melody was produced when I made my dramatic entrance. I really dislike the noise of the opening and shutting of that door. ¡°Father, should I say ¡°I¡¯m home¡± obediently at times like this?" Craft On the walls, hung images of the previous kings, and in the center was the throne where the present king sat. Of course, my father was the current king©¤©¤Zefirio Surima Dibair; he sat on the throne and gazed down at me arrogantly because I came home. ¡°Craft, you have left the castle for a long time......you¡¯ve finally returned.¡± King Zefirio His voice was filled with greater dignity than me. Having white hair, a long mustache and the same red eyes as me, this was the twelfth king of Dibair Zefirio. He was the strongest successive and a great king who this country is proud of. ¡°In this one year, I came to every country, and I spent all my free time how I wanted......¡± Craft He opens both his eyes widely and stood up, as if he had a big shiver. Kaitos on my shoulder curled up into a ball......I didn''t need to worry, though. Even if my father had a grand title and a dignified appearance, in my eyes©¤©¤ "I was so worried about yoooouu!! I thought that you¡¯ve diiee!! King Zefirio [ED: Yeah, nigga¡¯s sulking like a girl LOL]!¡± Therefore I showed my love to my uselessly useless father. ¡°Uwah, it came out. Shut up, noisy old man!¡± Craft ¡°WHAT!? No-Noisy?! I''m your papa! I¡äm your true father who gave birth to you!¡± King Zefirio ¡°My mother gave birth to me. Well, mother died to a chronic illness long ago, though.¡± Craft ¡°Je-Jeneriaaa! Uoo, why did she die before me......¡± King Zefirio Being too sweet and overprotective, his miserable true speech and behavior came out. Usually, when he worked as a king, my father was worthy of my respect. ¡°Haa......Magwato. Before my father reaches his limit, can I talk with you?" Craft ¡°Hoohoohoo, are you already fine with a parent child meeting after a long time?¡± Magwato Minister Magwato, who was observing from the side, smiled and stepped forward. The old man had a bald head and always wore a green hat to hide it......so pathetic. ¡°Craft, don''t ignore your fatheerr! Speak to me moorrreee!¡± King Zefirio ¡°I guess it is okay, so what do you want? The reason of my return to the castle.¡± Craft Ignoring my father who has resorted to screaming, I spoke to Magwato. Magwato was well accustomed to this and the conversation was continued without worrying about my father in particular. ¡°Hohoho, you can never have too much knowledge after all. So are we talking about ¡°that¡±......or are we talking about the ¡°other one¡±?¡± Magwato This cunning old man often talked about what he wanted with sarcasm. He hired capable mercenaries to bring me back; a whole group of them at that. ¡°Hmm. The war at Marterwo valley has continued on for three days and three nights......Craft.¡± Kaitos ¡°That''s right, Kaitos. I fought desperately, while you were only looking from the sky." Craft ¡°I told Craft not to fight. Had he called for my assistance, I would be happy to help anytime" Kaitos ¡°You fool. If you fought in the Marterwo valley, it would turn into a desert in one night.¡± Craft Kaitos is strong, but he can''t adjust his strength properly. Especially, if he¡¯s trying to protect me, there would be no distinction between friends and foes. ¡°HooHooHoo, the knight leader was impressed. The people¡¯s loyalty toward Craft-sama, who is a strong prince, was deepened even further;at the same time, it became a good training for the soldiers as well. Goodness, you''re popular.¡± Magwato ¡°If it¡¯s about the soldiers then, yeah, I can certainly feel my popularity expressed through their weirdly passionate gazes." Craft Although there were things that I wanted to make a Tsukkomi against, it was out of questions. It was pretty unpleasant that they had used the country¡¯s powers to bring me back. ¡°And? Who suggested such a boring thing?" Craft ¡°Don''t make a big deal! I''m dead serious about it!¡± King Zefirio ¡°What? I thought so, father.¡± Craft First, soldiers came after me, then there were assassins and mercenaries......they came all for the same reason. ¡°My marriage......what¡¯s the meaning of it?¡± Craft When they suddenly said please return home for marriage, I was puzzled. Even if I said I didn¡¯t like it, they tried to bring me back by force, and even more pursuers showed up one after another; I crushed all of them, though. ¡°Constantly marriage, marriage......do you remember your foolishness?¡± King Zefirio When it finally became difficult, even when I immediately declined, I noticed their reason. ¡°Speaking clearly, I don''t want to get married. Too troublesome.¡± Craft ¡°What do you say, you ungrateful son! It''s your job to get married, succeed the throne and let me hold my cute grandchild! I want to buy a toy for my grandchiillddd!¡± King Zefirio ¡°Throne? I think the country will end if I become the King.¡± Craft Sense of responsibility: Zero. Motivation: Zero. I¡äm a human who does what he¡¯s interested in. ¡°What do you say! When you are a man who was overflowed by his mother¡äs affection, then I know that you are full of consideration in your heart! If it wasn''t for that, I wouldn''t have wanted to make my son succeed the throne!" King Zefirio OiOiOi, am I overflowing with consideration? Indeed, a formidable joke. Because of my over-doting parents, I was so embarrassed that my eyes would pass through a peep-hole. ¡°Craft, you will marry a good wife as soon as possible......a married couple of King and Queen has to hold each other¡¯s hands and become the role models of this world. Not only the world, but also Dibair ©¤©¤" King Zefirio ¡°Ah, yes yes. King of Dibair, King of the world. Because you made me learn about all of this since childhood, I understand all of it." Craft I grew up receiving special education, both to the mind and the body. To defend the world¡¯s peace, I understood that I needed to put in great effort and rule as a wonderful king. Therefore, before that happened......I wanted to spend my remaining days happily. ¡°Therefore, you are to get married first......then, as soon as possible, make a grandchild, Craft!¡± King Zefirio ¡°Tsk......apart from succeeding the throne, marriage will be unpleasant if there is no interesting partner." Craft After all doesn''t marriage seem tremendously tedious? It''s already unpleasant to become king, yet I can¡¯t do it without marrying, too. ¡°Then I expect a grandchild from Leona. Well, when I don''t wait for at least ten years, it''ll be impossible" King Zefirio Father¡äs other child©¤©¤is my younger half sister called Leona. Leona was born from my father¡äs concubine Erian-san and she is my very lovely and proud younger sister who has just become ten years old. ¡°Unpleasant! Leona won''t become a bride for no one! Because she is so earth-shattering lovely¡± Craft ¡°......Magwato. If my father is killed here, do I become king automatically?" Craft ¡°Yes, thats natural. This old man also wishes for it to happen if possible" Magwato ¡°Shit. You escaped death narrowly stupid father......¡± Craft I return my hand that I stretched out to Dantes behind my back and threw up a big sigh. (TL: Dantes is the name of his gun) ¡°Haa¡­...even if I were to say that I want to marry, there is no woman with whom I would get along well at all. If I were to get married at all, I''d like it to be with someone who is like a friend and with whom you just can¡¯t seem to be bored." Craft ¡°Uumu. Although you''re my son, you''re aiming too high" King Zefirio ¡°It would be inevitable, so there isn''t a woman nearby that I could marry. Naa, Kaitos?¡± Craft (TL: Chapter 2 will have a surprising fact about Kaitos) Seeking agreement from Kaitos located on my shoulder, I turned around and saw him opening his mouth largely...... ¡°......GajiGajiGaji¡± Kaitos ¡°O©`i? Is everything fine with your head?¡± Craft ¡°¡±Huh, you moron. This is a preachment" Kaitos This pseudo-lizard, aren''t his feelings too unstable? I don''t know what he''s angry about at all. ¡°Well, it¡¯s good. Anyway, a partner wouldn''t be found so easily." Craft If there is even one person who could come to like me seriously, marriage shouldn''t seem too bad......no, after all, the partner who I would like to get married to©¤©¤ ¡°Hoohooho, Craft-sama. On the other hand, didn''t you forget the important bride candidate?¡± Magwato ¡°What, Magwato? Are you per good mind?" Craft Magwato stroked his short beard and spoke awfully with full confidence. An unpleasant feeling welled up bubbly from his actions and attitude, but it''s difficult to tell him to stop now. ¡°That is, naturally, Craft-sama also knows Efrika¡äs decision well......¡± Magwato ¡°Not good. I will never get married to that person." Craft I didn''t let Magwato finish his words. Marriage with that woman? OiOi, Although I might be really serious about it, she is the last means I would choose. ¡°Craft, my deceased younger brother¡äs child is an orphan now©¤©¤so, with which part of Efrika are you dissatisfied?¡± King Zefirio ¡°Everything excluding her face.¡± Craft "Efrika-sama is good-looking for certain and her figure is also excellent. Moreover, both her grace and intelligence aren''t in any way inferior. Don¡¯t you think that she has the exact abilities of a queen?" Magwato Was my answer unexpected, because father seemed to be unconvinced and looked towards me. That guy still appears to be hypocritical as well. "It''s unrelated. Anyway, unless a respectable partner is found, I don''t want to get married" Craft ¡°Nevertheless Craft-sama. As his Majesty said a short while ago, you should get married and settle down already......" Magwato ¡°It¡¯s fine, not like that matters. Although there is a time limit for succeeding the throne, but there shouldn''t be a time limit for deciding about my own marriage, right?" Craft The throne of Dibair is succeeded by the direct prince on his twentieth birthday, and that¡¯s how it was from generation to generation. Because I am 17 years old now, it will naturally be necessary for me to succeed the throne in three years time. However, I have no choice other than to succeed the throne......while the marriage is a completely different story. ¡°......Craft-sama. Do you remember the case from one year ago, and why you ran away from the castle?¡± Magwato "I ran away from the castle......what was the cause?¡± Craft Magwato¡äs words were heard and I recalled the past. Well, perhaps on that day, there was something with some national princesses and marriage proposals......? ¡°It was the marriage meeting with the princess of Isamura.¡± Magwato ¡°Oh? Oo, I remember! Well there was also such a story!¡± Craft ¡°So, Craft. The other party has come from far away to show their face......¡± King Zefirio ¡°Craft-sama has neglected that and went on a year-long journey. And thanks to that my old bones had a hard time here" Magwato Magwato and my father blamed me in an amazed voice. No, but I''m not that bad. ¡°Concealing it until that day was even worse. What does the guy who ran away have to say now to the marriage meeting?¡± Magwato "Running away, even when it was agreed upon beforehand, that''s just like you, Craft" King Zefirio "What did you expect? Who wanted the marriage meeting anyhow?¡± Craft ¡°Therefore it was hidden! You dare to talk like this! Mostly you......¡± King Zefirio ¡°I have already given up, Zefirio-san. It''s because Craft is in a rebellious age¡± Kaitos Kaitos calmed down my father with his panting. Even my father withdraws when this lizard says to retreat, and he seemed to have swallowed his following words. "You tell ''em, he is more than a child in a rebellious age. Then, by such a thing" Craft ¡°Wait, Craft! My talk has not ended yet!" King Zefirio "You positively think about the throne. And because of that, I tolerate you, stupid father¡± Craft I waved my hand with Kaitos on my shoulder, before turning around to leave those two old man behind. "Would a person who runs after two rabbits get even one rabbit? Then!¡± Kaitos While opening the annoying door, I already am tired of that creepy sound and left that king behind. In such a case, I heard what Magwato spoke about with my father in a low voice©¤©¤ ¡°.....He is a troublesome fellow. After all, besides the fact that he heard the story, there is no escape for him¡± King Zefirio "Please be relieved, Your Majesty. All affairs and arrangements have been completed" Magwato This isn''t the first time of an odd plot by my father. Then Kaitos perched on my shoulder whispered with a sulky voice. ¡°Craft, don''t you really want to get married?" Kaitos ¡°What? Do you also want to get me married?¡± Craft ¡°No, I¡äm against marriage. But under such conditions, it isn''t a approved case¡± Kaitos It isn''t approved, huh. Saying so, he restlessly pokes my cheek...... ¡°Are you hungry? Then it''s already time for lunch. It can''t be helped, let''s go to the courtyard¡± Craft ¡°......GajiGajiGaji¡± Kaitos ¡°Because I won¡¯t be saying anything anymore, let''s hurry. You hungry dragon¡± Craft I jumped down from the extending passage of the 4th floor to the passage of the 1st floor, with my head becoming wet from Kaitos¡äs saliva. I brushed the dust which curled up from the landing off with my hand and aimed for the courtyard in the center of the castle. ¡°Having come to the courtyard, do you plan on meeting that child?¡± Kaitos ¡°Yes. After one year, it would be pleasant to know how much she has grown¡± Craft When I was in the castle©¤©¤I usually had my lunch in the courtyard, whenever the weather was great. And my important younger sister, who has a great smile, would spend time together with me there. ¡°Leona would be so marvellous that I get paralyzed" Craft I suppressed the smile that nearly surfaced and opened the door leading to the courtyard. The courtyard was enclosed by multicolored flowers collected from every country......and only this seemed like a different world at all. ¡°Oh, Craft! Whenever I see it, these flowers seem so delicious!" Kaitos "Don''t frolic, Kaitos. You will end up eating the flowers anyways¡± Craft I looked around the vicinity to achieve my purpose, finding peace from the smell of the drifting flowers. She is probably at that bench©¤©¤ ¡°Eh? Craft-niisama......?¡± Leona Ouch. Her silhouette stiffened up and her face was filled with astonishment......that¡äs so cute. ¡°Yo, Leona, it''s been a year¡± Craft Sitting down on a bench and laying her sandwich aside was a girl with blue eyes and hair. Her lovely figure with her grown hair bound by a red ribbon made me think that she was a doll made by a great craftsman. Her modesty white skin shows her untouched purity which includes her childish face. It could even be said that she was the incarnation of a goddess, born to embody the word beauty. ¡°Waaa, it really is Craft-niisama!¡± Leona Leona uttered a cry of delight, before jumping onto my chest. Her hands moved to my waist and she embraced me closely, and although it was like usual, it was a little shameful. ¡°Leona, you became pretty. Although I went around all Rusanas, there is almost no beauty more beautiful than you" Craft ¡°Auu, pl, please stop elder brother. I turn red......¡± Leona "Your naivety still hasn''t changed. Your elder brother''s partner, will have a hard time in the future¡± Craft Whenever Leona is seen, she becomes so embarrassed that she turns red and hides her face behind her hands. If Leona was my lover, then I¡äd certainly fall in love with her everywhere on this entire continent. ¡°I, I......I¡äm fine as long as elder brother is here......¡± Leona ¡°OiOiOi! Did you hear Kaitos! This, it is this! I have the world''s best younger sister!¡± Craft ¡°You idiot. I''m amazed at how easily your mood improves with just a bit of closeness!" Kaitos Kaitos left my shoulder and flapped his wings, flying in the air. He flew straight towards Leona who hugged him softly with her arms. ¡°It''s been a long time, Leona¡± Kaitos ¡°It''s been a long time, Kaitos-chan! Thank you for protecting my elder brother during the journey!" Leona ¡°Yes. If I weren''t there, then Craft would have died miserably on the road¡± Kaitos Why are you saying such a selfish thing. On the other hand, shouldn¡¯t I make some food? "Ah, is that so. Kaitos-chan, is your stomach empty?¡± Leona "I''m always hungry. Why concealing it, I''m still growing" Kaitos "Waa, thank goodness. It''s to the extent that you couldn''t finish eating......yes¡±¡¡Leona Leona took the sandwich from the top of the bench into her hand and carried it to Kaitos¡äs mouth. "Mumblingly. Hohou, do you have explosive spider eggs?¡± Kaitos ¡°Yess. I asked Zenan to prepare them¡± Leona "Hey, wait a moment. Although the words couldn¡¯t be heard and I¡¯m being ignored now, was it just my imagination?¡± Craft Has Leona also expressed something hateful in words? Because there was such a thing©¤©¤ "At first I was surprised, but it is unexpectedly delicious when you become accustomed to it" Leona ¡°Le, Leona! Throw up! Spit it out right now!¡± Craft ¡°Calm down Craft. It¡¯s not like there¡¯s poison" Kaitos "That¡¯s not the problem! I''m well aware of Leona¡äs weak constitution!¡± Craft Leona, with her weak body, has hardly had her wish fulfilled about going out of the castle, and most of the day she spent in her room. What should I say to such a weak younger sister! ¡°My, my apologies. I yearned to know about elder brother''s journey......so by all means I felt like trying it out" Leona ¡°Ah, noo! I¡äm not angry with you! Hey, smile! Naa!¡± Craft Leona was about to cry so I comforted her. Shit, that wasn''t my intention! ¡°No, I¡¯m not crying. Because I''m strong in front of elder brother" Leona What a brave younger sister! Even if I say the world is wide, there wouldn¡¯t be such a cute younger sister again! "However it''s an unexpected meeting, Leona. Because we went to Ishidia forest about one month before" Craft ¡°Aa......umm, this......¡± Leona Hearing Kaitos words, Leona rubbed her eyes and restlessly fiddled with the ribbon on her head. "Even if you feel like longing for our travel and trying it out......from whom on earth did you hear this story?" Craft ¡°Uuu, to, to tell you the truth......suuuwaaa! Puuuu, huaa!¡± Leona Leona separated her fingers from the ribbon and breathed deeply as she made up her mind. Ah, I would like to be the atmosphere that was wrapped around Leona. While I was hoping so, I felt that the surrounding temperature has fallen unexpectedly. What is this feeling in my chest......that''s impossible? "Elder brother knows that person well too......¡± Leona ¡°Huhuu. It''s me, Craft-niisama¡± Efrika It has been clarified, when I heard that beautiful piano-like voice that followed Leona¡äs words. I know this voice and the owner of this voice. That person! That woman! The woman I dislike the most in this world©¤©¤ ¡°E, Efrika! Why are you at such a place?" Craft "It''s been awhile, Craft-niisama. I wanted to meet you for a long time now!¡± Efrika Efrika let her red long hair flutter and she seductively pushed out her body. ¡°Uowaaaa! Ya, Yawaraa......¡± Craft The blood in my body boiled gushingly. The sweet fragrance of Efrika is different from perfume and the feeling of her abundant chest is that of an ordinary human©¤©¤all of that is enough to leave my heart throbbing. ¡°Kuuu! Le, Let me go! Crap!" Craft I resolved the embrace with Efrika with full force to get some freedom. Efrika¡äs mouth lifted up at the corners and she laughed at my behavior. ¡°Aha, why are you so shy. You''re somewhat embarrassed" Efrika ¡°I''m not embarrassed! And who is your elder brother, my only younger sister is Leona!" Craft ¡°No, Craft-niisan. We are cousins who were born at the same time, at the same day. Moreover we have the same red hair......huhuu, are you hiding your embarrassment?¡± Efrika Crap! My heart isn¡¯t ready yet to encounter her here©¤©¤ ¡°*Giggling*, Efrika-anesama¡äs relationship with Nii-sama is as good as usual¡± Leona ¡°Eh, Leona. As for Craft-niisan and I, we are loving each other more than twins. No, we two are drowning in the sea of affection which is even deeper than love......Aaahh!¡± Efrika Efrika¡äs dress that was made by a Baretorian craftsman fluttered and I got ill from their speech. What love, it''s impossible to generate something like that between me and her. ¡°Lo, Love! As one would expect from Efrika-anesama! That''s an adult woman!¡± Leona ¡°Wait, wait Leona! You shouldn''t long for something like this! The current you......!" Craft "Leona, the noon bell will ring soon. Wouldn¡¯t it be the time for you to return to your room and take your medicine?" Efrika This woman interrupted my words and gave a lot of care by applying her hand on Leona¡äs shoulder. However, Kaitos who was still held by Leona turns his tusks as a threat to Efrika. Good job! Bite her! I permit it! ¡°Kaitos, don''t stare so much. The thing you want was prepared with much trouble¡± Efrika ¡°Hun. To purchase me, you''re one hundred years too early, Efrika!¡± Kaitos ¡°Is it so? It can''t be helped, then you won''t dip into the Bippa, Aremajiwaros parasite. I don''t get this with a thoughtless thing, but it''s a hundred year old one......¡± Efrika ¡°Naa, if it''s the case, then Bippa, Aremajiwaros is a small shell animal! Moreover its 100 years old......?¡± Craft Gugyurururu. Of course, this wasn''t the sound of Leona¡äs belly, but of this gluttonous lizard! ¡°Originally, a natural product from Bunna. They''re a rare item bottled individual in this natural world" Efrika ¡°*Gulp*. Cr, Craft......I, I till the end, are yo, your friend¡± Kaitos "Because I understand that it''s painful from your watery eyes, receive it without reservation. Don''t worry about me¡± Craft If I don''t do that, then Leona¡äs chest and arm will become wet from his drivel and tears. ¡°Sorry Craft, but I still love you Craft¡± Kaitos ¡°Ehehe, Kaitos-chan is the same as me!¡± Leona Leona hugged Kaitos very closely. Hey, Kaitos, switch places with me. ¡°The medicine is at the usual desk. Bippa-Aremajiwaros is also included in the lower drawer" Efrika ¡°Yes! Then Craft-niisama, let¡¯s talk again later!" Leona ¡°Yes. Because you certainly need to go to your room now, I ask you to look after that big eater lizard till then" Craft After Leona nodded to my words, she left the courtyard after rewounding the stola around her shoulders. Now, only I and this woman remain in this place©¤©¤only Efrika. ¡°......There are a lot of things that I want to say. Prepare yourself, Efrika¡± Craft ¡°Nmou, mean elder brother. We two are finally alone......¡± Efrika A passionate sigh and a flushed face. Trying to tempt me, Efrika came to snuggle on me, but I parried by reversing that arm. ¡°Ah, does Nii-sama like some intensity? Then, that''s also fine for me" Efrika "The story of explosive spiders a little while ago. You, did you tell Leona about my travels?" Craft ¡°Huhuhuu, did I do that?¡± Efrika ¡°Very well, doing such a selfish thing. I¡¯m not sure where you have gotten that information, but speaking with my little sister about it without seeing it is very low of you" Craft Because it was a fact this time, it''s still good, but if Leona were to believe the groundless rumor that I''m a lazy prince......I might die. ¡°You''re impolite. Do you think I talk about Nii-san by hearsay? I love my Nii-san like this!¡± Efrika ¡°Haa? Then, will you even say that you saw my travels?" Craft ¡°Yes. While Nii-san gets up, I saw most of it with these eyes" Efrika Efrika declared so with full confidence. This fellow, has she finally become insane? ¡°Aaa! Please don''t make such a face, elder brother! Evidence will be shown now!" Efrika I have a bad feeling about this, and wriggled my body when Efrika took out her short cane from the sheath on her waist. The handle is made of wood of a scarce cryptomeria yak and a big fist-like crystal is attached to the tip. "What does this do? You show me some recovery magic specialed by this cane to the extent that I''m surprised" Craft ¡°Huhuu, look well Nii-san. Inside the crystal¡± Efrika I peeped into the crystal as she urged. Then, the small figure of Zenan was reflected on the inside and she seemed to be drying the laundry. When I watched carefully, it seemed to be a wet futon.... ¡°Those vision-copying stones playback animated pictures......right? It really is a relay picture!" Craft ¡°It is so! When the owner of this Eromieru cane knows the name, age and birthday of a certain person, then that person can be reflected anytime! Therefore, I know everything about Nii-san¡äs travel......¡± Efrika I listened to Efrika¡äs explanation, which finished quickly, and I pulled Dantes out from my back. ¡°Release your hold from the cane, Efrika. For Leona¡äs sake I don''t want to cut your arm off" Craft ¡°Hee, Craft-niisan is so gentle. But when this gets broken, wouldn¡¯t it be a serious thing?" Efrika ¡°Waa, I don''t want to break your cane, so don''t say nonsense¡± Craft "It isn''t nonsense. This Eromier cane is uncommon and also has the effect of magic strengthening, which can be used to treat the continental inheritance named Leona. In other words, its a designated national treasure¡± Efrika ¡°What......? It¡¯s trivial if its a national treasure, but can it really treat Leona?" Craft Leona¡¯s unpleasant complexion had improved before I went out to travel. OiOi, does that mean that the ability of this cane achieved it? ¡°Leona is like a younger sister for me and, who knows, I might become her real sister-in-law. I''d like to do my best for her treatment. Huhuu, when my elder brother also wants that?¡± Efrika ¡°Guu......why are you Leona¡äs doctor! Isn''t another healer good enough here!¡± Craft ¡°I¡äm the best here even if it''s decided by me. Rusanas number one healer is mmeee¡± Efrika I don''t want to admit that obediently, but Efrika¡äs words are right. This woman is also called the number one healer of this continent and is referred to as Dibair¡äs holy woman. It isn''t an incitement or a joke......there is no one that could surpass her and would be more serious in healing. ¡°When Leona was diagnosed before that she will only live five more years, you were the one who helped her recover. I''m thankful for that and would like to request that now, too. However, guuu!¡± Craft "Please don''t be so pinched. Elder brother''s disliking face is not good in my opinion¡± Efrika Then stop sticking onto me. Everything would be fine if you did that. ¡°......Your cane isn''t broken, but sneak shots aren¡¯t permitted. I¡äm talking with Leona about this¡± Craft ¡° Haa......you know what, it''s also reasonable that elder brother doesn''t know about it" Efrika Efrika hit her hand against her forehead and spinned words mixed with a sigh. ¡°After elder brother went on a journey Leona became like another person and was depressed. And because Leona was worried about elder brother¡äs safety......she begged me every day¡± Efrika ¡°Le, Leona? Me......?¡± Craft Saying so, nothing was answered back here. It''s my responsibility, that Leona felt lonely in the year I was away. ¡°Yes. I wanted to see Leona¡äs lively face. That child, when she heard stories about her elder brother, she was really happy" Efrika Efrika laughed happily, when she recalled the spectacle from that time. Leona¡äs love for me is transmitted by her smile. ¡°......Tsk, sorry. It''s because I didn''t know that there were such circumstances" Craft ¡°Ahaa, don''t worry about it. Speaking with elder brother as usual gives me pleasure and delight! However, elder brother''s usual angry face is also good......uhuu, huhuhuhuhuu¡± Efrika Ah, my eyes are attracted to this woman. Her rough breathing is really disgusting. If I keep on associating with this person, then I will lose my soul in this place. I guess, I need to escape quickly. ¡°My story ends above. If there is nothing else, then I will go¡± Craft ¡°Wait Nii-san. Even if you returned after a year, the fact......will you attend the marriage meeting?¡± Efrika Efrika pulled at me who tried to return to the castle at a quick pace. What, why is she mentioning this troublesome topic. ¡°Don''t you, the peeping demon, know? For the moment, I don¡¯t have the mind to marry someone¡± Craft ¡°Yes, I understand. But elder brother, I can''t say more so shortly" Efrika ¡°......You always talk in such a roundabout manner. Say it directly" Craft My impatience was growing stronger to Efrika¡äs important talk. I feel a bit sympathize, so I let Efrika continue. ¡°I have no intention getting you upset. Because I didn''t want to surprise elder brother......my apologies¡± Efrika ¡°I don''t need your care. Fine, please speak about the main subject" Craft ¡°Yes Yes, Nii-san. Then I will say it clearly¡± Efrika I don''t know what¡¯s there to be hesitating about, but whatever kind of remark will be distinctive now, it''s a marvellous reason©¤©¤ ¡°Next month, Bremfai magic and science academy will have Craft-niisan¡äs bride training subject¡± Efrika ¡°.....................Ha?¡± Craft "And the person chosen from it will get married to elder brother" Efrika ¡°Wait, Wait Wait Wait!! What on earth is this story! I don''t know anything at all!" Craft Bremfai magic and science academy is Dibair¡äs......no, it''s the largest school on this continent. It is said that not only magic, but also king¡¯s studies and economics can be studied there. And that place is only permitted for people in power©¤©¤that''s Bremfai magic and science academy. Was such a venerable school really included in the bride training? ¡°Therefore, I tried to explain it indirectly¡± Efrika She seemed sulky, so I said nothing. That''s impossible, was the study to bring my bride up really established? ¡°Huhuu, your complexion has changed. How is it? Are you happy?" Efrika ¡°What happy, I''m very angry about Magwato and my father''s actions¡± Craft Was it a result of the talk between kings, when I went on my journey? ¡°Hiding it sneakily, you have a complete good character......¡± Efrika Although I have severely endured it up until now, I lost my patience here.....it reached the limit. ¡°Shitty father......I¡¯ll beat you up today¡± Craft A torrent of magic was welling up from deep inside of my body. I swung my large sword to the back and a thundercloud was hanging over the sky, because thunder was my magic attribute. The growling thunder soon roared and it''s golden lightning dyed the world dark©¤©¤ ¡°Tsk! Calm down your magic, Nii-san! If you fight with uncle here, it will also be dangerous for Leona!" Efrika ¡°Le, ona¡­¡­¡­..ah it''s bad. Somehow, she is quarrelsome recently" Craft I inhaled and controlled my breathing greatly. Regrettable, I nearly lost something more important than my life. ¡°This matter wasn¡ät proposed by uncle, but instead came out from the other party. Even if uncle was beaten here, it''s difficult to make this matter void" Efrika ¡°......Other party? The other party, is it a party participating in the upbringing subject?" Craft Efrika nodded as an answer to my question. Her eyes seemed to blame me somehow. ¡°It is so. The beginning of this story are the marriage proposals brought by each country. And in addition to that, Isamura, Baretoria, Bunna and Kurinos made them simultaneously¡± Efrika ¡°Haaa? Four at the same time......when?¡± Craft ¡°Only Nii-san¡äs marriage has value. Character, ability......and power¡± Efrika I don''t want to admit it personally, but Efrika¡äs complaint is roughly correct. Isamura, Barretoria, Bunna and Kurinos surely want to build a strong relation with Dibair. That can be achieved quickly by marriage with me. ¡°When a wife of the next king of Dibair is chosen, the empress''s origin country will be in a better position than the remaining three powers. Therefore, wasn¡¯t it only natural that each country made a marriage proposal?" Efrika ¡°Even if it''s so, I should probably decline? Actually, I have already canceled the marriage meeting with Isamura once¡± Craft ¡°The case is different this time. In Dibair¡äs standpoint declining all marriage proposals will only backfire. There is a strange rumour circulating about elder brother......" Efrika ¡°Ah, I see. So that means, if this was handled poorly, they won''t be able to establish an alliance¡± Craft Even in the case of Dibair, which is the number one power of this continent, there is no chance of success if it goes against the four other countries at the same time. Nonetheless, it''s impossible that the other four countries are on bad terms and team up together. ¡°When it''ll be so, elder brother has to get married by all means. But it''s also visible that elder brother doesn''t react to ordinary partners. Then......¡± Efrika ¡°Are the prospective brides who gather from each country trained in the bride training subject?" Craft ¡°That''s the case. When the person who survived among the other gathered candidates is chosen, wouldn''t another country make a complaint? It''s bad when the defeated candidate is cowardly" Efrika ¡°I understand the logic, but the talk itself is reckless. So, do they want to marry me?" Craft If I''m the object, that''s still good, but political marriage is the aim. ¡°Aaa, please don''t have a sad face, Nii-san! Alright, this me will protect Nii-san!¡± Efrika ¡°Hmm? You......protect me?¡± Craft I made a doubtful look at that catching phrase, but Efrika continued by adding something more. ¡°Yes! I¡äm not an enemy of elder brother with impure motives! Huhuu, it''s proven that I¡äm the best suited for the bride training subject and at the end I will be together with Nii-san©¤©¤" Efrika ¡°Hey Hey, wait Efrika. How did it become a story in which you participate?¡± Craft ¡°...............Kyanya?¡± Efrika ¡°I won''t be deceived by your lovely voice. Apart from the representatives from other countries that made a marriage proposal, is it necessary for you, as a person from Dibair, to participate in this bride upbringing study?" Craft ¡°A, u......but as an emergency, I''m the one¡­¡­¡± Efrika Efrika broke into cold sweat to my query and looked down, while speaking. I understand her feelings very well, but I have no intention to change my mind. ¡°I praise your persistence in trying to aim for me under this confusion, but it¡¯s only sweet talk to me" Craft Since the past she tried to do something with me, although all her means were fruitless efforts. That''s why it has also ended in a magnificent failure this time. ¡°This time I heard your important talk. So don''t joke around......¡± Craft ¡°......I don''t joke around here. I''m always serious in front of elder brother¡± Efrika I tried to walk away, before Efrika¡äs mutter could detain me. However, until now she hasn''t had such a firm and strong voice. ¡°I know elder brother dislikes me. But......still I like elder brother! I love you the most in this world and I want for our minds and bodies to become one! We will be together for a long time!¡± Efrika Efrika talked about her sincere attitude and stared straight at me. ¡°Therefore, I bet at this chance......this is a bet between Nii-san and me¡± Efrika ¡°Bet? You and I......?¡± Craft ¡°Nii-san doesn''t want to marry me. However, I don''t think that there is another party for Nii-san better than me" Efrika Our hair, eyes and faces are akin to those of twins©¤©¤but our feelings are contrary. That''s the state of me and Efrika up till now. ¡°No matter how elder brother seems to be, no one will say anything! I have no intention to change you! The only reason there is for me is that I want to be together with elder brother until the end" Efrika ¡°Waa, what is that? How can you have absolute confidence that I will choose you?¡± Craft ¡°It''s chosen. No, you will choose accurately. And it will be proven that only I am suitable as Nii-san¡¯s partner!¡± Efrika It was a strong look. Her eyes who believed that she will win, without doubt and any feeling that would result in just a little anxiety. I usually think Efrika is a big weak point of me...... ¡°Good, I''m looking forward to it. Whether I choose you or not......you can take part in this competition¡± Craft I unbearably dislike it as she enjoys it to the fullest whenever I''m abused. ¡°Eh......then, can I participate in the bride training subject......?¡± Efrika ¡°Do as you like. But, now that''s done, be serious¡± Craft ¡°Huhuu, I believed Nii-san would say that. Aaa! How many people can''t calm down from the pulse of love that began to move, as two people are permanently intersected in transmigration of souls with each other......¡± Efrika ¡°......You, every one of your words has a theatrical tone¡± Craft With the bride upbringing subject, there are many cases that I need to think about and if I delight her, everything will be fine. ¡°Ahaa, I certainly will obtain elder brother! Those kinds of things and these kinds of things......!¡± Efrika Thus, the bet between Efrika and me started. Efrika thrusts the other prospective brides aside, but whether I can fall in love or not......I seem to be have the advantage but unfortunately I don''t like winning clear bet. ¡°Hey Efrika. Please let me present one condition for the current state" Craft ¡°Eh, a condition? I don''t mind particularly, but why so suddenly?" Efrika Although I said that I¡¯ll decide on my wife myself, doing the reforming and upbringing myself awoke my interest. Every woman made by others is decidedly disagreeable. I know my tastes the best. Therefore, I should be the one to make the choices. ¡°I¡¯ll be the teacher of the bride training subject, so the bride candidates will be brought up to my taste......how is it? I¡¯ll teach directly so that all the members will be brought up to my taste" Craft ¡°Eh? Nii-san as our......teacher?¡± Efrika ¡°I can bring up the marriage partner however I like and you can get information out of me as much as you would like. Wouldn''t it be a bad condition for you?" Craft Now that it was brought up, there is no escape even if Efrika were to become cruel. I will raise her by with the best of my abilities and make sure whether I fall in love. Good......only a little thinking is already interesting. ¡°......I have no objections. But isn¡¯t that really bad? Even for the bride candidates......" Efrika ¡°Hey Hey, suddenly guiding them? Knowing my character, you should be able to understand" Craft No matter how troublesome it is, even if it is painful, we are not in a relationship, even though the future road is full of troubles. ¡°Can¡¯t you enjoy this serious matter?¡± Craft Just after I answered so, the bell in Eureragan cathedral rang timely. The bell informing the town that it¡¯s already noon had a sound more magnificent than usual and affected as a blessing for the bet between Efrika and me. Volume 1, 2: The five bride candidates Volume 1, Chapter 2: The five bride candidates The morning one month after I came home to Dibair. Having jumped into my view was jet-black darkness after I woke up in the bed in my own room. ¡°Amu......gashigashigashi¡± Kaitos ¡°......Hey, what are you doing, Kaitos?¡± Craft Seeing his face wet from saliva, my consciousness awoke from the unpleasant mood. Kaitos, you did well. To begin with your bed isn''t here. ¡°Huhh, did you finally get up? You traitor¡± Kaitos ¡°Traitor......that again? Until when on earth would you have a grudge" Craft With an sullen face, Kaitos flew around the air while flapping his wings. This guy is bad tempered since the day I accepted Efrika¡äs bet. ¡°Such a thing shouldn''t be allured into Bippa-Aremajiwaros. However...this is the biggest crisis for me and also it''s a big opportunity" Kaitos ¡°Again, I don''t understand the meaning. Today is an important day¡± Craft Rising from my bed, the disorder of the sheet is mended. If I don''t do this, then Zenan will be angry. ¡°Don''t come into a person''s room without permission. Go to your own room¡± Craft ¡°The place where I should be is always next to you Craft. It''s insignificant that the next room is mine" Kaitos ¡°......You''re a honest guy who remembers such an old promise forever" Craft It''s ten years ago that I signed a contract with Kaitos by strange fortune. At that time, I was young and unskilled. Well, I have felt like dying. ¡°Everything is forgotten! My encounter with you......¡± Kaitos At the time Kaitos tried to talk in his embarrassing state, someone knocked on the door suddenly. Weakly, three times......this knocking is Zenan. ¡°You can enter, it isn¡ät locked¡± Craft I spoke through the door and the door was opened after a little time. As expected that person came in and has a plate with breakfast in her right hand. ¡°Excuse me and good morning. Craft actually wet his bed until he was seven¡± Zenan ¡°Why are you telling me this information Zenan? Ah? Do you want to pick a fight?¡± Craft ¡°Please don''t stare so much. Zenan¡äs delicate heart is only kyun, kyun, kyun¡± Zenan ¡°Uwaa......kitsuu¡± Craft A dialog is expressionlessly vomited. I¡äm surpassed, and it''s a kind of fear already. ¡°By the way, one month ago it was Zenan who wet her bed¡± Craft ¡°Here is your breakfast, I already have enough for today. Anyways, rest. Rest for about one week" Zenan No, wait a moment. Certainly one month ago...the time when I returned? From the view of the Eromier cane, I saw how she dried a futon at that time©¤©¤ ¡°Craft, when you associate with Zenan¡äs joke, then the day will come to an end" Kaitos It is as Kaitos says. I, of all people, took part in Zenan¡äs pace. ¡°Then I leave the breakfast here. Once you are done eating, that thirsty bitch of a stalker will be waiting for you with her huge ass breasts, so please come to Eren''s room¡± Zenan ¡°I don''t know what it is with you, but you mustn''t harbor a grudge considerably... Zenan" Craft ¡°It''s absurd. I would just like to have all women with big breasts to die¡± Zenan ¡°You can''t have a grudge against all women in this world¡± Craft My Tsukkomi is empty and Zenan breaks the iron plate, before she leaves the room. Because she doesn''t show any feeling on her face at all, I''m always afraid of her behavior. ¡°Haa......can I eat my meal quickly? It will be annoying if I let Efrika wait¡± Craft ¡°Umu. Then I will help you quickly eat that meal. HamHamm¡± Kaitos As soon as it is said, Kaitos runs away holding the bread of breakfast in his mouth. I admire his greed, but I hate that he took my breakfast away helplessly. ¡°Anyway haven''t you already had breakfast? I''ll give you the half, so please return Kaitos¡± Craft I captured Kaitos on the scruff of his neck and took the bread away that is held in the center of his mouth. Although he looks at me with a reproachful face, I worry and throw the already bitten bread into my mouth. ¡°Ah, that''s my mouth......" Craft ¡°Ngunguu? Wouldn''t you be dirty particularly? Won''t it be a dog and cat fight¡± Kaitos Kaitos is greedy about food. When his growing period ends, I want him to recover. ¡°Hu, Huhh! Natural! Craft, I have to go soon!¡± Kaitos ¡°Hey, where do you go? Because I''m busy due to various reasons today, can''t I look for you?" Craft ¡°Huhu......don''t worry. Even if it is unpleasant, I will meet you later" Kaitos With these words, Kaitos opened the door skillfully with his tail and flew out to the passage. That Kaitos suggest that I act on my own...if I may say, recently he is on good terms with Efrika and they seem to do something secretly. What on earth are these two scheming. ¡°I have an unpleasant hunch...even if I''m thinking, it''s inevitable" Craft I finished chewing the bread and poured it down into my stomach quickly by soup with bacon. I also think it isn''t quite satisfactory a little, but it''s better to have 80 percent of the stomach full in the morning. ¡°Well then, do I prepare it?¡± Craft After wearing my usual overcoat, Dantes who I have leant against the wall is carried on my back. Then next, I put Bajirus into the holster on my waist and lastly hung my antique goggle around my neck. This familiar appearance...unless there are these, I don''t calm down at all. ¡°I''m counting on you today, too, partner¡± Craft I, who arranged to go out of the room, face straight toward Eren''s room. I felt depressed to meet the other partner, Efrika, but I come to walk with a light step gradually by recollecting what will happen from now on. ¡°I appreciate your efforts. Always, thank you¡± Craft I keep walking, while speaking to the maids and soldiers I passed and arrived at the front of my destination finally. I¡äm fed up with this uselessly wide castle, even if it only takes five minutes. ¡°Efrika, I am entering! If there is some business, let''s finish it quickly!" Craft A noisy tone affects, when I open the door slowly. When I notice that Efrika made her neck long, which let her look like a flower that is blooming under the moon, while waiting inside, she jumped up from the chair and runs up with a brilliant smile on her face. ¡°Good Morning, Craft-niisama. It seems you have slept a lot last night¡± Efrika ¡°Well, why are you wearing this awkward outfit¡± Craft I don''t understand why she is wearing silver armor together with a pink dress as an outfit. It''s really gorgeous and the armor part that protects her is also dignified. In particular, the armored part on her chest seems tight variously. ¡°Huhuhuu, did you fall in love again?" Efrika ¡°How can I fall in love again, when I hadn''t fallen in love yet. Because I¡äm fine to talk, tell me your matter quickly¡± Craft ¡°Aamouu! Nii-san is also a impatient person like me!¡± Efrika I¡äd like to be reborn. She is serious and troublesome. ¡°Efrika, did you call me to talk about the bride candidates?¡± Craft ¡°Aah, elder brother has foreseen as expected. My heart and body is in elder brother''s palm©¤©¤¡± Efrika ¡°What? My prospective brides, have they already gathered?" Craft Seriously when I hear this woman''s nonsense, it''s insufficient no matter how much time is given. It was transmitted that I had run out of impatience and Efrika answered back with a respectable attitude. ¡°Yes. 5 people representing each country and one judge......six people in total are waiting for Nii-san¡± Efrika ¡°Judge? What''s that?¡± Craft ¡°After there are offsprings, it is said that power will be lent to ascertain elder brother''s marriage partner. The one decided finally was elder brother who declined sometime ago......I¡äm begging you to love me very much¡± Efrika ¡°Hee? It''s unusual for you to praise someone besides me" Craft Especially, praising this woman is equal to nothing. Is Leona an exception......? Well fine. Whether there is a judge or not, it''s not a problem as long as I have the final word. ¡°Huhuu. I think that all representatives including me are of elder brother¡äs taste" Efrika ¡°Your words, let me feel uneasy a bit......¡± Craft Perhaps, the reason for political marriage is necessary, but I don''t want to believe that there is more to it. Inside is better than outward appearances and with my guidance there is no other way than that. ¡°Relax, Nii-san. Even if there are four other women, I will still be chosen at the end by all means¡± Efrika ¡°It''s increasing every time you have great confidence. Now just as I thought¡± Craft Efrika is one of my very few natural enemies. She enjoys tormenting me......the expectation keeps rising. ¡°Good, let us go quickly. Would you want to avoid lateness on the first day, too?" Craft ¡°Wait elder brother. A subject still remains" Efrika Efrika stops me when I try to open the door and to go out. There still seems to be some business. ¡°It''s easy talk, but do you want to admit whoever wants to be a bride candidate? Simply just that¡± Efrika ¡°Whats with that thing? Even if it isn''t checked, it isn''t minded particularly" Craft My guidance will have an effect on this bad person. Still, if it isn¡ät good and I should give up, I would have refused from the beginning. ¡°Thank you Nii-san. I certainly will remember your words¡± Efrika ¡°Understood, Understood. Whoever will come, I¡äll have a pleasant expression" Craft I open the door this time and go out of the room to the hallway. Efrika follows me from behind and we both aim for Bremfai magic and science academy. Dorura castle is only several minutes away from Bremfai, which is soaring since the days this country was established. It is said that a breath of admiration leaked from whoever sees this graceful and dignified appearance. ¡°Well! Nii-san, try to look outside the town! Wonderful liveliness!¡± Efrika ¡°Why, because there is a big event once in a year¡± Craft I looked down from the window of the castle at the town that was crowded with hundreds of people which is normal. This will be because the people are gathering from around the world for Bremfai¡äs entrance ceremony. ¡°When there are so much people, it''s also serious to go. Kaitos isn''t here......so shall we call a carriage?¡± Craft ¡°No, you should walk. Even if you dislike a crowd of people, you need to get some air¡± Efrika ¡°Aa......huhuu, oh well. I''m sorry to say a boorish thing" Craft Efrika gladly raised her voice and turned her body around. There can be many in my side even at one second......so I only laugh at her with a happy face. Is it strangely ticklish or what do I say? ¡°Nn? It isn''t bad as I thought......right?¡± Craft ¡°What are you doing Nii-san? Hey, let''s go!¡± Efrika Everyone sees how the honor student leads me, the problem child, by hand. Usually I would shake her hand off in no time, but now©¤©¤ ¡°Tsk, worthless¡± Craft Let''s assume especially, that I''ll overlook it today. The prideful learning garden which is the biggest in the continent©¤©¤Bremfai magic and science academy. It''s the first time that I set foot into it, but I think this is a stiff place beyond my expectation. Usually many humans come and go and only when a superior person passes the side is the head lowered with a smiling face. Only formal etiquette is acquired, which I learned in my private grounds. ¡°Oi Oi, what kind of education is given here?".Craft ¡°I''m sorry. It''s painful when his Highness grieves for me......¡± Delrogello Walking along side me to the school building is a tall man who hangs his head down and has tears in the corner of his eyes. The name of this tall man is Delrogello J. Gakas. He is a young and slim man who can be an actor with his handsome face......to tell the truth, he is the chief director of this academy. ¡°Cunningly, a person with shallow consideration is corrupted like a wise person. Education is difficult" Delrogello ¡°That''s the way it is. What happened to Efrika? Hasn''t she arrived with you because she followed you from behind......did she go to the bathroom?¡± Craft ¡°Efrika-sama already headed to the classroom ahead. Pay attention to the other bride candidates¡± Delrogello Is that the reason why Delrogello is the guide? I''m scared of that woman¡äs preparation here. ¡°Then his Highness. Although it is very grateful, but the majority of students here are against his Highness, eemmm¡­¡­¡± Delrogello ¡°Do you think it is pleasant? That''s no problem in particular" Craft Why was suddenly the prince¡äs bride training subject made at this prestigious school. Not to mention that I¡äm called the lazy prince. It is natural that only negative feelings are held. ¡°Whether my coronation to which you''d come eventually is all right with such an approval rating" Craft ¡°......It is all right. Whatever there will be, I''m his highness''s ally. Yes, no matter what it is¡± Delrogello These are wonderful words obediently, but Delrogello......why does he blush there, hey! ¡°A, Apart from that, is this passage still continuing? We already walked for over ten minutes¡± Craft ¡°Hahahaa, you don''t need to worry. Prompt already......we arrived¡± Delrogello At the end of the passage we walked up was a double door. Nowadays, I''m certain that behind that unusual wooden door a historic room would be laid in place. ¡°Why was such a far place chosen? Isn''t a place near the entrance good¡± Craft ¡°I was told that this was the best room from Efrika-sama. Then his Highness, please go inside¡± Delrogello The wooden door is easily opened by Delrogello¡äs hand. Finally, I¡äm facing my long-awaited prospective brides. ¡°Thank you chief director Delrogello. Goodbye¡± Craft I''m involving myself in a medium classroom by affected behavior. Therefore because I will be king sooner or later, I feel like trying to look good a little. ¡°I¡äm glad to meet you, I¡äm Craft Serima Dibair......¡± Craft I started my greeting with a powerless and low voice than usual while advancing steps. Even when I stand on the platform just like that, I look up in order to look at my five bride candidates©¤©¤ ¡°We''re waiting for Craft-niisan¡± Efrika Efrika bows in the frontmost seat. Nothing else matters because this is a obvious thing. However the problem is the girl sitting next to her. ¡°Oh, good morning Craft-niisama¡± Leona ¡°Le, LeLe, Leoonnaa!¡± Craft Her shoulder long blue hair is glittering like a clear stream and her eyes are shining bluer than a sapphire......and being two heads smaller than me, why is my lovely proud younger sister here in this academy? ¡°Ah, you raised a very funny cry. However I wanted to see this surprising face......Haah¡± Efrika ¡°Ah? Why are you smirking, Efrika? Is this your scheme?" Craft ¡°Uwa! UwaaUwaa! His Highness Craft! Calm down! Don¡ät pull out your sword!¡± Delrogello I who tried to pull out Dantes was intercepted by Delrogello from behind. As a result, I pulled Dantes out half from the sheath and used thunder magic at the tip of the sheath without an aim, so that sparks and a vibration is caused. Uu, dicey. I was so serious that I almost lost myself. ¡°Ah......emmm¡± Craft Cold glances from the whole class pierce me who suppressed his magic after calming down severely. Shit. Efrika and Leona aren''t the only one here. ¡°Naahaahaahaa! Goood! Let''s fight thoroughly!¡± Tanned girl ¡°Finally, we were finally able to meet......Craft-sama¡± Blond girl ¡°Is that the prince of Dibair, Craft-dono......¡± Black girl ¡°Huh. As always, a hopeless guy¡± Purple girl I see four other women sitting on some seats dispersively besides the two I know. The types are different respectively, but all members may probably be the finest beauties. ¡°"Ap, Apparently, His Highness Craft seems to be strained! Wahahahahaa!¡± Delrogello Although it is bad for the desperate Delrogello when chilled air is piled up, I am not convinced yet. Why is Leona necessary for my bride election? Is this a scheme from Efrika? ¡°Nii-san, shall we start with our self-introductions? Do you want me to start?¡± Efrika ¡°...Yes, please¡± Craft They seem to have a mind to clear my question. If it''s so, I should stand here and watch the state. ¡°First of all, I¡äm Efrika Serimi Dibair. I¡äm Craft-niisan¡äs cousin and my specialty is healing magic. Elder brother¡äs hobby is also my hobby. My dream is to have ten or more children from elder brother!¡± Efrika ¡°Oh, really. Then the next person¡± Craft ¡°Aah, I think that it has been disliked completely. Next is Leona, you must introduce yourself, too¡± Efrika ¡°Ye, Yes! Efrika-anesama!¡± Leona Although the tender Leona trembles overwhelmingly, only one person stands up in the face necessary for this class. She can''t articulate with this tension and those who saw her knew that she falters. ¡°I, I¡äm Craft-niisama¡äs younger sister, emm......I''d like to lend my help to decide elder brothers'' bride, so I asked elder sister Efrika, that......wawaa, did I say my name?¡± Leona Is power lent to me? Ah, I see, the judge Efrika meant was Leona. Certainly as my younger sister, she has the right to help with her elder brother¡äs marriage partner. ¡°Calm down Leona. Everyone, listen properly¡± Craft ¡°Hyahi! Eemm......I¡äm the judge Leona Serimi Dibair¡± Leona ¡°You for a moment! Can''t you talk more briskly?" Blond girl A woman on a seat behind lost her temper, because Leona couldn''t finish her words. Although she wears a flashy gothic dress which is like the royal clothes of Baretoria, why does a black hood cover her head so deeply. A forelock overflows which shows that this girl has pretty blond hair that matches her clothes well in my opinion......so she clearly is a royal from Baretoria. But what''s with this stupid bitch! How dare she offend my lovely Leona......! ¡°Because later is serviceable, please bring it to an end quickly" Blond girl ¡°My, My aappologieess! I''ll work hard to help my elder brothers! That''s it!" Leona Leona¡äs delicate heart has been hurt and fueled at the same time, so that she strains her energy and was going to end her wonderful self introduction. Ah, she''s so lovely. ¡°Leona, it''s great that you''re working hard¡± Efrika ¡°Uuu......thank you very much, Efrika-anesama¡± Leona ¡°For my younger sister to try to interrupt her elder brother''s marriage partner......with this, it is sympathized ahead" Craft The hood woman who booed a short while ago pulls her chair and stands up while glancing sideways at Leona who wipes her tears. Is she an impatient character, because the forefingers of her crossed arms moved restlessly. ¡°Next is my turn. Craft-sama is that fine?¡± Blond girl ¡°Being silent isn''t good at all, hood woman" Craft ¡°Then my name is Venu......eh? What did you just said?¡± Venu ¡°Noisy Venu. I''m not interested in you at all" Craft Insulting Leona is worth certain death. If it isn''t such a place, I would evaporate her. ¡°Naa! My name isn''t Venu! It is Venusera Lloyd Bareto! I¡äm the second princess of Baretoria!¡± Venu ¡°I¡äm not interested in your words, Venu¡± Craft I have no relation, even if she is the representative of Baretoria or the second princess. I don''t permit this guy who injures my important people. ¡°Na, Nanaa, quite an impolite man! Chief director Delrogello! This is an international problem!" Venu ¡°Hii, please forgive it! His Highness Craft! Why are you acting like this so suddenly!¡± Delrogello ¡°Craft-niisan, it is necessary to hear the self introductions, though your feelings are understood" Efrika For the sake of soothing the angry Venu, both Delrogello and Efrika became upset and began to admonish me. These two people don''t seem to understand, why I concede this. ¡°My name is Venusera! I¡äm Baretoria¡äs second princess and I have shooting skills......¡± Venu ¡°Then next, how about the samurai girl. Please¡± Craft ¡°What? Do you mean me?¡± Black girl ¡°Serrriioouuss! Why am I ignored! Ridiculous!" Venu ¡°It''s so. Because you don''t have to worry about noise, I ask crisply" Craft I leave the noisy Venu alone and continued with the next woman. ¡°Gumumuu, you absolutely want to make it as a problem! No, before that I personal©¤©¤!¡± Venu ¡°Don''t raise your voice, person of Baretoria. Without deciding order you started to talk without permission" Craft ¡°Uh, that''s so for certain......but I to that man......¡± Venu ¡°Then, there won''t be a complaint. I have been waiting for a while now here¡± Black girl The samurai who controlled Venu by just arguments stands up and began to introduce herself with a penetrating voice. ¡°Wara......cough. My name is Sasaki Musashi. I come from the eastern country Isamura¡± Sasaki Light armor is generally worn in Isamura. The glossy long black-haired girl is wearing it and seeing her face with my sharp observation, it''s round and has a pretty and cool impression. ¡°I¡äm from the Tokugawa house. My skill is fencing and I''m still undefeated in Isamura¡± Sasaki ¡°What? You, why is your name Sasaki Musashi when you¡äre from the Tokugawa house?¡± Craft No, before that no matter how it''s seen, she is a princess with a far off dress...... ¡°That''s right. I chose the road of military affairs and abandoned family estate and name. Because of that, I personally gave myself that name. Therefore I am now an ordinary disciplinant©¤©¤but for some reason I became a marriage candidate¡± Sasaki When talking about Tokugawa house, then it should be the family that rules Isamura from generation to generation. After this woman abandoned her family estate......did she become a samurai? ¡°The matter of your name is understood, but when you abandoned your family estate, why do you participate in this upbringing study?" Craft When it isn''t for a political marriage, then there is no reason by which I have acquaintance with an individual. For Musashi, this marriage proposal seems not to have an advantage either. When I think so, Musashi began to answer my doubt bit by bit. ¡°......One year ago, Craft-dono annulled the marriage proposal with me. For me at that time, it was the biggest disgrace. Declining without seeing me in a meeting©¤©¤kuu!¡± Sasaki Remembering the memory from that time, Musashi stares at me while grinding her teeth. Waoo. She is the princess from Isamura¡­¡­ ¡°My father said it to me who grieves of your cowardice and sheds tears.¡ºThis is because you''re too soft. If you have spare time to sulk, study consequently. Become strong and look back!¡»¡± Sasaki ¡°Such circumstances......uh?¡± Craft ¡°I deserted my female-self and trained myself desperately since that. And finally this chance came......By all means necessary I will overthrow you Craft-dono, regardless of the marriage!" Sasaki Everyone in this place nodded after understanding the declaration of the too dignified Musashi. However, isn''t this idea strange when you think for a moment? ¡°Hey Hey! You, didn''t your purpose changed? I heard that you want to win against me as a samurai, not as a bride candidate! In fact, that''s your final goal!¡± Craft ¡°Well? Is that a problem?¡± Sasaki ¡°What problem......no, it might be interesting? Uh¡± Craft Someone who wants to challenge me and hasn''t political marriage as object. It can be said that¡¯s a strict custom of Isamura and here we have a tomboyish princess which isn''t surprising. ¡°Isamura girl, I can''t understand your idea. Why will you lose the marriage of a lifetime?" Venu ¡°I already abandoned my female-self, when I decided to walk the way of military affairs. Its satisfying when a former woman who was refused before gets the victory!¡± Sasaki ¡°Just now, the end of your words doesn''t match your character. Therefore, your countrymen won''t like that!" Venu Why does this hood girl always try to fan someone? Is everything cursed or why such ceremony restriction? ¡°Hey Venu. Your last sentence is also annoying¡± Craft ¡°Nnaa! Where is my tone annoying! This graceful way of talking is......" Venu ¡°Then the next person. Please introduce yourself¡± Craft ¡°Muukyaaaaa!! Remember! I will repay you later!¡± Venu I ignored the noisy Venu and talked to the tanned girl who seems taller than me. I easily understood that she is from Bunna because of the pink flower she is wearing on her head and the worn native dress, the only worrisome fact is the huge halberd kept at her side. Is she able to swing it with her hands......? ¡°Oo! Finally my turn! I got tired of waiting and got hungry!¡± Tanned girl The white-haired Bunna girl raised her dull voice and rises from her seat. Her huge chest is swinging greatly from this little movement. Huge. Tremendously huge. Even Efrika with her tiny breasts looks at this huge chest©¤©¤ ¡°I¡äm Meri Jibran! The patriarch of the Jibran family and the granddaughter of old man Mars!¡± Meri Declaring impressively, Meri smiles proudly. If my memory is correct, then the Jibran family is the biggest tribe that has settled in Bunna. After all, Meri is also a important person from a royal family like Venu. ¡°The reason I came here is that my grandpa said there are a lot of delicious dishes here to eat!¡± Meri ¡°......Ha? You want to eat a lot of delicious dishes?¡± Craft ¡°Will the specialty of each country come to Dibair? Hehee, it''s pleasant!¡± Meri As Meri said, the trade in Dibair is certainly active, because we are surrounded by all other countries...... ¡°Are people from Bunna stupid? With such a thing, it isn''t necessary to get married at all!¡± Venu ¡°Nnn? You certainly said something strange again......I said it¡¯s fine, so go already old man! Naahaahaahaa!!¡± Meri In short even if it''s coaxed by a patriarch into not having the intention for the person himself, is it a reason? With Meri¡äs purpose, Bunna also wants a political marriage. ¡°I can''t understand a race that eats insects! Please do not come near to me!¡± Venu ¡°You will get accustomed to insects. Like the Bippa Aremajiwaros parasite or explosive spiders" Meri ¡°Seriously, please stop talking. Now, let''s continue with the last person¡± Craft Escape from the phrase that wakes up a provoking memory, I talk to the following candidate. The last three were from Baretoria, Isamura and Bunna, so is the last one from Kurinos? ¡°Is there someone remaining? Did you forget someone important?¡± Venu I ignored Venu who flickers at the corner of my sight and look at another woman. She has two horns on her head. As expected a demi-human©¤©¤ ¡°Kurinos representative, would you like to? I¡äm sorry for letting you wait. Now please introduce yourself¡± Craft The same red eyes as me and Efrika. Her pretty dark, shoulder-long purple hair is messy at the back. She has sharp dragon-like eyes and pink lips. I can''t separate my mind from her fine skin seen from far away and it shines more beautifully by the light that is coming through the window. She is my type. Seen short her figure is also outstanding and if it''s decided only by the appearance simply from everyone in this place, then it will be this woman. ¡°Wait! What''s with me? Isn''t it still my turn?¡± Venu ¡°Naahaahaahaa! Venu is ignored like cancer!¡± Meri ¡°M, My name is Venusera! Correct it!¡± Venu The only strange point of this woman, might be her clothes. The leather boots and pants are seen somewhere. Her ragged overcoat and the goggles around her neck are like my own appearance. A person from royalty would wear such clothes......she seem to disguise herself as me. ¡°......Jiii¡± Purple girl ¡°Wh, what are you staring so much. It''s slightly scary¡± Craft ¡°Huhh. That insensible critter didn''t notice yet" Purple girl This dark purple haired girl is sulky somehow and throws a glance at me. Guessing from her way of talking, have I met her somewhere before? Somehow this stinky tone of this woman......is feeling familiar and pleasant. ¡°Even if it''s unpleasant when we meet later, it was necessary to have said it this morning. Thats forgotten, in the end no one understands©¤©¤its fine. Therefore only I''m aware of it¡± Purple girl The beast woman inhales greatly, before she strikes the desk and stood up. What was said this morning? Perhaps she......? No, is it as expected? ¡°By no means will that skink lizard be such a beauty©¤©¤¡± Craft ¡°My name is Kaitos. My specialty is eating. By the way, I also can grow which is highly praised¡± Kaitos ¡°..................Ou?¡± Craft Strange. Although there was a self-confidence in approximately hearing acuity, I heard it false. ¡°Ah, I¡äm sorry. I heard it wrong. Can you say it once again please¡± Craft ¡°My name is Kaitos. My specialty is eating. By the way, I also can grow which is highly praised¡± Kaitos ¡°Eh, shellfish and vinegar?¡± Craft ¡°Different. It¡¯s Kaitos¡± Kaitos ¡°And your highest praise is your chest growth?¡± Craft ¡°Not only my chest. My face and hips, I grow up anywhere Craft wishes for¡± Kaitos ¡°Eh? Ser......serious Kaitos? Are you the glutton, greedy Kaitos?¡± Craft ¡°Yes, that''s certainly me. With that, it''s enough talk for now¡± Kaitos ¡°Ah is that so? Are you really Kaitos? Huh......that Kaitos......¡± Craft ¡°......Craft?¡± Kaitos ¡°Whaaaatttttt!!¡± Craft I! That Kaitos! This beauty my type! My heart is beating! ¡°What''s the matter, Prince! Ca, Calm down! Hii©`hhii©`Hhuu!!¡± Delrogello ¡°UoaaAAAAAAAA!! Kill! Someone kill meeee!¡± Craft I hit my head five times against the teacher¡¯s desk and 10 times against the blackboard. Nevertheless, my thoughts turned back to normal without accident and my irritated and bitter heart ran wild. ¡°Kaitoooooss!! Ho, How dare you to trick me! Tricking meee!¡± Craft ¡°What are you saying Craft, I didn''t trick you. Not noticing is stupider" Kaitos No No No! I would be aware if I made a contract with a mythical beauty! ¡°Or rather, why are you the representative of Kurinos country? Explain!¡± Craft ¡°You probably know that I was born in Kurinos. There is no problem at all¡± Kaitos ¡°Even if I know¡­...I blame you. Confusing me suddenly¡± Craft The damage will only increase if I think further about it. I abandoned that thought and talked again. Until now, the other bride candidates should not have any distrust...... ¡°Why this person......? After all, my misunderstanding......?¡± Craft ¡°The guess doesn''t attach at all though I don''t know what you want to do either. Umu, in case of this, I don''t seem to be able to win easily¡± Kaitos ¡°Naahaahaahaa! Craft Apparently it was unnecessary to have worried. These guys are likely to come off somewhere comparatively. ¡°Craft-niisama, hitting his head to that extent......isn''t it painful?¡± Leona ¡°Waa......you''re worried¡± Efrika To who is Efrika¡äs sigh that leaked out turned to? It isn''t me, uh. Perhaps she is honest. ¡°Now! Only I remain in this!¡± Venu ¡°Everyone, thank you for the self-introductions. Each personal good¡± Craft I cracked my hands and the eulogy is sent to the prospective brides who are gathered in this place. Although there was a candidate who doesn''t anticipate it either, there should have been a harvest more than the imagination. ¡°Wait! What is with my turn? I¡äm Venusera Lloyd Bareto......¡± Venu ¡°Formal one stop. People like you want to face me which is the truth¡± Craft Speaking frankly,a little while ago, I faced this place with a somewhat amused feeling. Finally, the options everyone chose are left to the corner of my head. However, it is different now. Euphoria that has been forgotten for a long time©¤©¤resides in my chest like a flame that is heating up. ¡°All five bride candidates©¤©¤follow me tightly¡± Delrogello My dear cousin Efrika with whom I have an inseparable relationship and made a bet. Samurai Musashi who is a former princess and wants revenge from me. The huge breast girl Meri who loves to eat. And the Admol dragon Kaitos who has a woman¡¯s face now. ¡°5 people? Maa! It is praiseworthy to include me in the number neatly!" Venu ¡­¡­¡­¡­And Venu. Well, there will be a lot of elements that, for better or worse, become interesting even by one. Such a fellow who scratches and turns unexpectedly will easily pilfer the win. ¡°The chance is given equally. I also will make an effort to meet each one of you" Craft These guys are interesting, so I will bring them close to completion with my own hand in the future......but sooner or later only one will be chosen. Surely beyond my imagination, but it is likely to become the best companion. ¡°Regardless, the selection period seems to be one month......it is enough in case of that much¡± Craft I look forward to approaching them at that time©¤©¤ ¡°Now! Let''s gather together everyone! Our first class!¡± Craft One quiet person smiled. Although at the beginning he often said what is essential, I think that just so. Therefore, I declared at the class beginning in a cheerful voice that I''m not accustomed to. I say that''s the compromise to the bride candidates. Gentle feelings that I want to build a harmonious relation with them. ¡°Nevertheless, Nevertheless, what do we do with this person......¡± Kaitos The classroom became quiet and a man under the teacher table holding his knees. The room was silent, so I''m left alone©¤©¤I become timid. ¡°Nii-san, until when will you be sulky?¡± Efrika Efrika¡äs voice is heard through the teacher¡¯s desk. Including me only Efrika, Leona and Kaitos remained in the classroom. Everyone else went out and left me behind. ¡°Finish this business until afternoon class. Everyone else returned to the dormitory......¡± Efrika ¡°Shit, say that from the start! Thanks for scratching at my disgrace!¡± Craft ¡°B, But Nii-sama. Everyone has a misunderstanding!" Leona ¡°Ah, Leona! Leona Leona Leona! You''re my only ally!¡± Craft ¡°Hun, Craft, you idiot. Come out quickly. Before I tear your head into pieces¡± Kaitos I¡äm led by the investigation of Leona¡äs sweet voice and stand up after one hour. I saw how Kaitos glared at me, but it lacks force as always. ¡°How was Kaitos able to become Kurinos¡¯s representative again? Didn''t Kurinos send someone from the royal family as marriage partner?¡± Craft ¡°The princess of Kurinos who was the true marriage partner defaulted. An bombing incident occurred when a smuggler was captured, so they seemed busy with the process afterwards......huhuu" Kaitos ¡°Hee, are you serious. We only stayed a little there before we went home......¡± Craft I heard that in the past Kurinos received great damage from demi-human hunting by an smuggler from a foreign country. Since then, half of the nation isolated and don''t trust any foreigner......so I had a hard time when we stayed there. ¡°Which reminds me, we were the guys who caught that smuggler. Didn''t that become an excellent commotion?" Craft ¡°Yes. When we cornered the criminal, we destroyed the royal castle of Kurinos by mistake¡± Kaitos ¡°Immediately after, I ran away on Kaitos from the bunch of people that chased us and we left that place......¡± Craft What? That means Kurinos¡¯s redemption for the bombing incident is......impossible? ¡°That¡¯s the correct answer, Nii-sama. However, did you really rage so much?¡± Leona ¡°As I thought! However I think you had a good intention......Well¡­ it¡¯s ¡­ that! So, How about it?¡± Efrika ¡°It¡¯s fine, Kurinos isn''t angry. Rather than that, they wish to express their gratitude for annihilating a malignant crime group and no one was wounded by that incident" Kaitos Hearing that, the sweat on my back drew back. Seriously at that moment, I thought my heart stopped. ¡°Fufufu, with such circumstances I got the role as Kurinos representative. There won''t be a complaint¡± Kaitos ¡°It was almost my responsibility that the role as the representative was vacant, so I have the right to complain. But do as you like Kaitos¡± Craft ¡°Without saying, that''s my intention. My charm is more than enough to charm you¡± Kaitos ¡°Charm......? Come to think about it Kaitos, since when can you transform into this cute form?¡± Craft ¡°I change my form by the situation. For the current one, this human state is necessary¡± Kaitos ¡°Therefore, you precisely take the form of my favorite type¡± Craft Doing it with knowledge, I can''t be angry when he does such a perfect transformation. No, particularly can I be angry because I was cheated? Perhaps, I may depend on it...... ¡°We Admol dragons are soul mates with our contractor. So it''s easy to look into the contractor''s mind¡± Kaitos ¡°Soulmate? Now that you mention it, such a thing was said before. Do you also die if I die?" Craft On the contrary, I won''t die if Kaitos dies. Quite a strange story. ¡°I agree. Therefore, I¡äm potentially together with Craft¡± Kaitos "I do not mind it, you don¡¯t really have to be a bride candidate right ? You and I are already like family, so do not hesitate to go near me." Craft ¡°Efrika, Leona......did you hear the current remark? This is this man''s fault" Kaitos ¡°My sympathy, Kaitos. Nii-san who hides his embarrassment is hopeless¡± Efrika ¡°Eh? Is his embarrassment hidden now? Mumuu, in the bargaining of love, the interior seems to be deep!" Leona What is said that is confusing? I particularly said something ridiculous. Besides, marriage between me and Kaitos is impossible. Because that guy©¤©¤ ¡°......By the way Leona, I have a question to you, the judge¡± Craft ¡°Au, a question?¡± Leona ¡°Although it''s good that you participate as a judge from now on......but won''t there be many harsh things?" Craft Those candidates had a light tone in the self-introduction......because political marriage is entwined, while we should think that they come here shouldering the destiny of their country. ¡°You choose, so you possibly will do something. The kind of imitation where I flatter you, the judge, to grasp your weakness......¡± Craft ¡°I don''t care. I, I want to work hard for my important elder brother!¡± Leona My words are interrupted by Leona who shouts powerfully. ¡°I¡äm sickly for a long time......which is pathetic, because I only make trouble for Craft-niisama and Efrika-anesama. The, Therefore only this time, I will be Nii-sama¡äs strength by all means!¡± Leona Leona¡äs eyes that look up at my face show a strength of unwavering will to keep the secret. Foolish Leona, for thinking that your existence is annoying for me and Efrika. For us, you©¤©¤are our dear important younger sister. ¡°......Understood. Okay, I recognize. Your resolution is firmly received¡± Craft I don''t oppose any longer. If Leona decided to rush into action voluntarily, I want to watch it as her elder brother. The role as good older brother suits me well. ¡°My goodness, you¡äre extremely obedient. That''s unusual for Craft-niisan¡± Efrika ¡°What are you thinking about me? I¡äm clearly the prince who has a proper heart¡± Craft There is no persuasive power in this thin remark and both Efrika and Kaitos smile wryly while looking at each other. Does only Leona believe me in that situation, because she stares at me with bright eyes. ¡°Now, the thing that I wanted to ask you was heard, so do we go eat slowly?" Craft Crushing some time in the classroom, it gradually became time for lunch. And because I shared my breakfast today, did my stomach became empty earlier than normal? ¡°Tentatively there is a dining room in Bremfai, but it is crowded because it¡¯s combined with the dormitory¡± Efrika ¡°That''s fine. I don''t want to live a student life, though I¡äm a bit interested in the dining room" Craft I¡äm aware of the things around me, because I received education from a private tutor inside the castle. Because of having no friends, I grew up to such a bitter man......and I always thought that I want to experience the culture of a school when I have the chance. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll follow Nii-sama!¡± Leona ¡°Ou, then let''s eat the set meal together. You probably buy meals in the cafeteria with meal tickets¡± Craft You buy meals in the cafeteria with meal tickets. A device like a ticket vending machine is installed there and it seems you can choose what you want to eat. Although I don''t understand it very well, it seems to be a popular eating method. ¡°Wait, Nii-san. It''s time for Leona¡äs medicine, so she will return to the castle with me¡± Efrika I, who pulled Leona¡äs hand and try to advance cheerfully, am blocked by Efrika. This third wheel, I want to send her flying given the circumstances, but it can''t be done now. ¡°Oh, thats right. I¡äm sorry elder brother......I really believed that we would eat lunch together¡± Leona ¡°Don''t worry about it, but let''s eat dinner together at dinner¡± Craft Leona narrowed her eyes happily, when I said so softly. And though we could continue for eternity, my hunger has slowly reached the limit. ¡°Huhuu, Leona I will make an extraordinary and delicious medical meal¡± Efrika ¡°Yess! I am really looking forward to it, because Efrika¡¯s meals are very delicious¡± Leona ¡°Excellent Leona. Even so, Efrika, Leona is relying on you¡± Craft ¡°Of course Nii-san. I look forward to afternoon class¡± Efrika ¡°Yes. It will be really enjoyable¡± Craft At present, while I see Leona leave the classroom with Efrika, I started to chuckle in my mind. ¡°Kukuku. The morning was a little confusing, but my counterattack will start later......¡± Craft ¡°Wait, Craft. Have you forgotten my existence a while ago?¡± Kaitos ¡°Yeah, because I felt that you were a really bad person¡± Craft ¡°Stop your nonsense. If you have free time, then let''s go to the dining room together¡± Kaitos Standing up from her seat, Kaitos walks up to my side. Even if he has a human form on purpose, it is a strange feeling seeing this guy walk on two legs. ¡°You always eat strange meals. No, but this appearance is the first time......right?¡± Craft ¡°Correct. A meal with a beauty of your type©¤©¤are you filled with emotion?¡± Kaitos ¡°Ha? What are you saying?¡± Craft When I first looked at this form, her chest danced, which was nice. ¡°With any appearance you are still the good old Kaitos. This form is just a little fresh¡± Craft ¡°......Huhuu, I see. Even if it''s so, Craft is only mine¡± Kaitos Kaitos has a smile on her face and seems pleased. After all, I can''t understand this guy. ¡°Uumu. With a child, will such worry increase?" Craft ¡°What are you grumbling about? Now, hurry up!¡± Kaitos My idea is interrupted while my arm is pulled forcibly and Kaitos opened the door in a hurry. He seems considerably hungry and glares with bright eyes, while dashing out to the corridor. ¡°Wait Kaitos. I¡äm really hungry, so do we need to run through this corridor?¡± Craft ¡°Hurrying isn''t a method. I have my highly praised growth ability¡± Craft By the trot, Kaitos advanced in front of me and wearing the same overcoat as me. Hey Hey, we''re like lovers who wear the same clothes and chase each other. ¡°I assume it''s fine that you take the shape of a human. But why did you specially dress like me?¡± Craft ¡°Efrika had prepared outfits for me. However, frill clothes don''t suit me¡± Kaitos There is no such thing. On the other hand, when she wears such an dress, she would look marvelous. ¡°And when I told her to prepare clothes that are easy to move inside like that of the knight leader, these clothes were presented" Kaitos ¡°Hee, was it so......does the knight leader has the same clothes as me?¡± Craft ¡°Umu. He seems to enjoy dressing a life-size doll. Good Craft¡± Kaitos Emm, Kaitos. What was good? To me, the knight leader is a fool, simply exposing his feelings under the daylight. ¡°Moreover, I¡äm aware of a heart-breaking reality that Craft has grown up" Kaitos ¡°I grow up by such a dirty reality" Craft Kaitos and I keep walking, while joking around with each other. It is a strange feeling talking with Kaitos in his human form, but it is unexpectedly not so bad. ¡°What do you think Craft? Do you look admiringly at my pretty face?" Kaitos ¡°What are you saying you pseudo girl. Next you want me to get on you and we do horse riding or what?¡± Craft Horse riding is ridiculous. At that time, this guy''s annoying face seems very funny. ¡°Na, aa......wh, when you get on me......it will be quicker! I still can''t lay eggs yet!¡± Kaitos ¡°Ha? It doesn¡¯t matter whether you can lay eggs or not. Or rather, you''re really oviparous¡± Craft ¡°Guuu......! You idiooot! You big idiot! Prepare yourself!¡± Kaitos ¡°Wa, Wait a moment Kaitos! Don¡¯t bite me in your human form!¡± Craft In case of various forms of Kaitos, this form is lovely. If such a spectacle is seen, then my whereabouts in Bremfai academy will vanish! ¡°That''s bad Kaitos! I will go ahead!¡± Craft ¡°Nuu? Wait! I want to bite you! I want to bite your head!¡± Kaitos ¡°What''s with your remark!¡± Craft I must defend my body from the approaching danger, so I need to run through the passage as good as I can. However, he will surely catch up the way things are going. Although it''s a little tiresome......only I can use it. ¡°Magic control transmission. Change into thunder magic©¤©¤leg reinforcement completed. The preparation of my legs has been finished!¡± Craft Responding to my voice, a dazzling purple lighting wraps around my feet. With this technique I even surpass the speed of the thunder tiger in the jungle. ¡°You! Craft, I will remember this! Craaffttt!¡± Kaitos I run away from Kaitos¡äs angry voice by passing through the corridor at full speed. A whirlwind is created and I sometimes passed some students who received the gust from me dashing past them. Although I passed through Leona and Efrika who were chatting happily on the way, they didn''t notice me because I was too fast. Leona shouldn''t have been surprised by the current impact...... ¡°It finally came into my view¡± Craft I felt a little uneasy for a moment, but my destination finally appeared in my sight. I directly entered into Bremfai academy to the place where I received the explanation from Delrogello. There is no crystal workmanship, but a gorgeous crest is carved into the door©¤©¤this seems to be the entrance of the dining room. ¡°Alright! I have arrived!¡± Craft *Gigiiii* I raise the brake to stop and the floor is burning. Although it''s possible to run fast with magic reinforcement, it''s a problem how to stop. ¡°At any rate, I arrived. Let''s enter inside quickly¡± Craft I saw several students opening their eyes wide and opening their mouths, I disregarded them and gave a lot of care to the door. With a bang is the door opened and I see the whole dining room. Several long tables are lined up in rows and many students come and go in this narrow place. Incredible, many things appeared into my view. ¡°Regrettable, it''s only impressive by the situation. First of all, let''s buy a meal ticket¡± Craft I¡äm really excited, so I queue up at the entrance of the line. There are five vending machines, so the line isn''t so long. After I restrained my excitement and looked around the dining room, my turn came with surprising swiftness. ¡°Oo! There is a variety......so is it expensive for a moment?" Craft Sova udon only costs 600. Because the real thing isn''t seen at all, dining out in the town shouldn''t be somewhat pricy. After all, I was perplexed a little, so I choose Leona¡äs set meal for 900.The fact that there are menus such as Craft set meal, Efrika set meal is as I thought, originated from royal connection. ¡°I put money in this hole, before I push here......hou, is this the meal ticket?¡± Craft I put out a coin from my purse and throw it into the slot before I pushed the button and a piece of paper has come out. It was a long blue paper with Leona¡äs set meal printed on it and next, I need to go to the counter. ¡°Hey, do I only transfer it here?¡± Craft I followed the crowd and heard multiple voices of aunts who were busy behind the counter©¤©¤ ¡°Haiyo......well! Are you perhaps Prince Craft?¡± Lunch lady ¡°Ah, yes. Even so......how do you know?¡± Craft ¡°I already know it! The reason is that you look similar to King Zefirio when he was young! Oh dear! The only difference is the look!¡± Lunch lady Seeing my face, the cafeteria aunt seems to be in high spirits now while working. A person who knows my father well when he was young will directly know who am I from my identity. ¡°One Leona special! Although there seems to be various bad rumors, you need to work hard!" Lunch lady ¡°Thank you a lot. Well, I work hard moderately¡± Craft To some extent, it''s pre-made and the set meal put on the plate came out quicker than I expected. When I see the received meal, there are several kind of sandwiches with smoked duck lit in wine and salad and Korun soup that is based on Sorghum. It''s a little high-quality, but it isn''t quantitatively so bad. A dessert is also attached, which is nice. ¡°Where do I want to eat now? Hmm, is there an empty place¡± Craft At this time, it''s crowded and nowhere is a quiet place. ¡°Oh, there is a free place. Ah, there are some students! Shall I sit next to them?¡± Craft I look around and discovered a table with a five people girls group. They are all students from Dibair. Foreign students are considerably awkward and there might be no problem with a fellow Dibair student, so I tried to go towards them...... ¡°Uwaa! That prince, did he really come here?¡± Girl 1 ¡°It¡¯s not just about the training department that tires us, but are you willing to help us ?¡± Girl 2 ¡°If you see as a woman, there is no distinction and even that rumored savage demi-human was real......" Girl 3 Do they think that I don''t hear it or do they say it on purpose so that I hear it? Leaving a tasteless sharp remark behind, the girls left the table with a cramped smile. The whole table is purposely presented to me......no, for a popular man. ¡°......Haa, he might cry because he is disliked so much¡± Girl 4 Although it might be already too late, I thrust the girl¡äs group aside even if the rumor spreads and I snatched a seat away by force. I don''t really like to sit on a seat that became vacant after all, but I don''t want to walk around in the spare time to find another table either...... ¡°Heeyy! Senseiii! Here Here! Heree!¡± Meri ¡°Hmm? This voice has a Bunna accent......Meri?¡± Craft The voice belongs to Meri, the representative of Bunna and a student of the bride training study. She sat all alone at a table that is overflowing with dishes that are put there. ¡°OiOi, do you eat that all alone¡± Craft ¡°Hehee. Did you search for a place to eat? In that case, here is free!¡± Meri Meri moved the pile of empty dishes aside noisily to the edge of the table. There is more than enough space for one person. Let''s depend on her goodwill obediently. ¡°Then I will sit here. Meri, are you alone here?¡± Craft ¡°Yes. I normally eat more than others! That''s why there is always so much space. Naahaahaahaa!!¡± Meri It becomes insufficient for a moment without thrusting it. ¡°That''s regrettable. There would be a lot of people who wanted to go with you......" Craft Naturally, Bunna''s students are supposed to be enrolled in Bremfai.....but something is strange. Although the Bunna people stand out from their characteristic clothing and brown skin, they are not found nearby. Rather, there are no Bunna students in the dining room. ¡°Ah......Actually I''ve been calling a couple of times already, but I wish I could see them eating this amount in the people of the same town. Ahahaa, I''m going to be tipped off by my grandfather" Meri Meri whispers to me and hypocrites so that no one around can¡ät hear it. Along with that, her huge boobs are hitting my shoulder©¤©¤uh, let''s keep silent. ¡°I think that there is nothing to be seen at the time of occupying this desk, but it''s okay" Craft ¡°Let''s keep this a secret Sensei! Around this time Oji-san is noisy that I must lose weight" Meri ¡°Lose weight?, You''re slim enough. You''re slim, except for a part" Craft As for her chest, I cannot say anything because I tasted the volume just now. *MuniMuni* is far from *FunyonFunyon* soft feeling......thank you Meri. ¡°Naahaahaahaahaa! Gentle teacher! Say that to my grandfather someday!" Meri Meri feels good about my words and returned in a good mood to her meal. Because she ate this amount, I was clearly suspicious if she can gobble it up...... ¡°Oh, you eat cleanly unexpectedly. Besides, you''re well mannered" Craft ¡°Hehee. It is bad for the people who made the meals and even if it is a delicious food I would like to thank them. But if it''s this kind of etiquette, I think the people from Isamura are far better¡± Meri ¡°Isamura? I have visited several times, but it was certainly only stiff people" Craft When eating, they especially sit straight and eat with a wood branch called chopsticks. At first it was hard to get used to it. Well, that is a good memory for now. ¡°Well, there is no chance to see it here. Even though there are Isamura students, there are no chopsticks......¡± Craft ¡°That''s not the case. Hey sensei, over there¡± Meri Meri spoke and pointed at something, while I lead my sandwich to my mouth. When I look at it, there is a vacant space in one place in the flow of the crowd. Apparently, there is a person who is kneeling on the floor and eats its meal. ¡°......If I¡äm not mistaken, then its Sasaki Musashi from our class¡± Craft ¡°Because I can see her too, I don''t think it''s a mistake, Craft-sensei" Meri Under the roar of the loudly groaning public, the samurai of Isamura was eating in a dignified sitting position. Because she is originally a princess, her posture is fondly even if I see it. ¡°Umu. Dibair¡äs river fish is fat and really delicious......¡± Meri Does she use chopsticks that she brought with her and the spectacle that only the grilled fish is neatly made to the bone is amusing......and frequent exclamation voices were leaked from the surrounding people. ¡°She is very old-fashioned. I never saw anything that is so frightening" Craft ¡°Its funny. I want her to teach me how to use chopsticks" Meri *Nichichi* Meri laughs. Occupying a desk here and Musashi¡äs mat are standing out. In this way, I will notice the food scenery of the remaining girls. ¡°Hey Meri, have you seen Venu?¡± Craft ¡°Hmm? Which reminds me have I seen Venu?¡± Meri You haven''t seen her? It''s hard to believe that rowdy woman is eating alone...... ¡°By the way, why is Craft-sensei alone? You''re the prince of this country" Meri ¡°That''s a very good question, but I think you''ll see the reaction around us" Craft ¡°The surrounding reactions? What?" Meri ¡°Everybody always looks at me and talks behind my back. That''s the way it is" Craft Even female students disliked to sit with me at a table escape away from me and hate me. Thus, Bremfai science and magic academy is bad. Most of them are students of the aristocracy class, so they don''t harass me directly......it wasn''t a good mood, a while ago. ¡°Hoh, you''re disliked sensei. Did you do something wrong?" Meri ¡°It is bad that I didn''t do anything. Because I left my own country" Craft ¡°Nahahaa! Is that something like that!? It seems tough to be a prince" Meri ¡°You are the same. Besides that, what do you think of me?" Craft ¡°Eh? My teacher?¡± Meri I¡äm rumored as the lazy Prince in this continent. Even though everyone seems to be alarmed if they meet me for the first time, Meri''s attitude towards me is normal......no, it''s rather favorable. ¡°Don''t you really hate me? You don''t have to be too careful©¤©¤" Craft ¡°Why do I should hate teacher? It doesn''t matter what others think! My impression of actually seeing you isn''t bad" Meri Meri stops her meal and turns a warm smile to me. ¡°I thought Sensei was an interesting person. So I want to make friends and more!" Meri ¡°OiOi......I''m overwhelmed. I''m not going to return this easily" Craft There was no hesitation and Meri returned the answer that I wanted. To be honest, I was worried whether I could get along with the bride candidates peacefully from now on......but I don''t need to worry. Meri will surely be a nice good mood maker for the class. ¡°......Thank you Meri¡± Craft ¡°Hmm? Did I do anything to get your thanks?" Meri There is no awareness and Meri roars loudly. It''s natural......she''s a good woman. ¡°But how much do you want to get along with, aren''t you a little too defenseless?¡± Craft ¡°Muhou......biii? U, Uwaaa, I''m sorry! I''ve been close to you for a while now!" Meri Remembering that she was pressing her proud chest against, let Meri move away from me confusingly. ¡°It is different! I didn''t mean to come here like that!" Meri ¡°You suddenly have a pale face......¡± Craft Meri shakes her big body while trying to explain something. I opened my mouth to ask the true meaning©¤©¤that moment. ¡°Crrrrraaaaaffffftttttttt!¡± Kaitos A thundering roar pierces through the dining room like rumbling. I completely forgot the existence of this guy. ¡°......Na, Naa Craft-sensei. Somehow he seems angry, isn''t he?" Meri ¡°Yes. To my trouble, he is an emotionally unstable person" Craft The roar came from the entrance of the dining room. I understand it without looking. Kaitos with his purple hair and sharp fangs is looking for me. If he finds me, it''s the end. ¡°Muu! I found you! There you are Craaffttt!" Kaitos ¡°Oh, you already found me. Don''t do that, Kaitos¡± Craft Extraordinary visual acuity or unparalleled sense of smell......I have been discovered easily. ¡°Don''t move, Craft! I''ll bite you right away!" Kaitos It was early and Kaitos was leaping on the floor. In a straight line like a bullet at a formidable fast speed. Moreover, her mantle shakes in the air and her huge purple wings jump out from the inside. He''s slowly returning to the fighting. It may be awful unless you move the place quickly. ¡°Cool your head, baka Kaitos! Where do you think you are!" Craft I slipped my body under the desk to evade the gliding Kaitos¡äs tail by hairsbreadth. As it is, the chair is skillfully passed through and at the same time, the plate with my meal is picked up quickly. Even though I have not eaten my dessert yet, I will be caught! ¡°Yowaaaaaa!! Whaaaaaattt!" Meri At the same time I rushed out with my plate, I heard Meri''s scream from behind. Probably because I avoided it, Kaitos would have decided to dive into Meri that was next to me. I am a little worried, but with Meri''s natural cushion, it''s definitely safe. ¡°Gumee, Craft! W, What the hell is this? *Funifunipoyon*......oh, soft¡± Kaitos ¡°Ahyahyahyaa! Stop tickling me!" Meri ¡°Damn it, Kaitos! Why do you always do this!" Craft I rush out of the dining room while enduring the bitter tears that overflow. If I don''t hide somewhere and eat my dessert, my head will totally be eaten. ¡°Where are you, Craft! Damn, he got away!" Kaitos From behind the door, there are countless roars and Kaito¡äs disappointing voice was heard. I hope the students don''t panic by that uproar......I guess it''s too late. ¡°No No, it''s not a case of people worrying. In this situation, where is the right place to hide?" Craft I am not aware of the structure of Bremfai and I don''t know the perfect hiding place. ¡°Well, after all, he isn''t over there!" Kaitos By chance, did the onlookers who gather because of the commotion of the dining room build a mass, so I slip through the crowd skillfully and aim at a certain place. There is no way that Kaitos would enter the sanctuary. ¡°......It isn¡¯t such a big deal" Craft I turn around the corner of the corridor, where the staff room is at the end. I was saved because I checked it with Delrogello in advance. ¡°Here! Men''s Toilet!" Craft Women''s prohibition. The last paradise that only men were allowed to enter.....that''s the men''s restroom. Even though Kaitos is a biologically female, she wouldn''t find my scent from her. ¡°The only thing I dislike is that I don''t want to eat my dessert in a place like this" Craft I think it''s a hundred times better than the rest of the Rusanas¡äs prestigious school. ¡°I will immediately go to the toilet......¡± Craft I open the toilet door with my plate in one hand. At the same time, the door of the women''s restroom was opened. Then, a head wrapped in a black hood roughly came out from the door and checked left and right. Hmm? This hood head......or rather that face©¤©¤ ¡°Venu, what are you doing?" Craft ¡°............Ah¡± Venu Venu¡äs yellow eyes that turned around captured my gaze. To look at her open mouth and her eyes that opened in amazement......she seems to have received a considerable shock. ¡°A, Aah! Aaaaah! Rude Princceeee?¡± Venu ¡°Oi Oi, looking at a person''s face as if he is a monster......what rude Prince¡± Craft ¡°Nananaa! Why are you in such a place!" Venu ¡°This is in front of the toilet. Aren''t you a bit strange?" Craft ¡°Uu......t, th......that''s true! I of all people, ohohohohoo!!¡± Venu Venu comes out of the toilet while stumbling whether she flinched because of me. Why is she turning both hands behind. ¡°Are you hiding something behind you?" Craft ¡°Hahii!! I, I don''t know what you''re meaning!" Venu ¡°I don''t understand, why are you panicking so much?" Craft ¡°It''s a breach of privacy! Even if it''s the prince, it''s private......" Venu ¡°Silent. Just show me!" Craft It is man''s nature to want to see what is concealed. So I get around to Venu¡äs back. ¡°Noooo!! What are you doing! You pervert!" Venu ¡°Saying pervert! Wh, what are you saying......?¡± Craft What was hidden behind Venu was just a plate. It is the same shape as the meal plate I have, so it was probably gotten in the dining room. So, Venu was eating her meal in this toilet? ¡°Hee, that''s the reason why I didn''t see you in the cafeteria" Craft Because there was a concern to show-off, the students of the home country surely domineer ahead. But the thing that was hidden in the toilet is the opposite, maybe. If you were to control yourself to avoid an uproar©¤©¤she is a humble fellow unexpectedly. ¡°It, it was seen......a, ahahaa, its already over¡± Venu Venu collapses with both hands and knees on the floor. Did she received some damage? ¡°I don''t understand it somehow, but don''t worry" Craft ¡°Don''t worry about it? You know how I feel about you!" Venu Venu stares at my face. She has an expression that seems to have begun to weep with large tears in her eyes. Haaa? Was she shocked that I saw the plate? ¡°No No No! I know nothing, but I''m the same! Look!" Craft ¡°Eh? You''re the same......?¡± Venu ¡°Look, I also came to eat my meal at the toilet¡± Craft I show my own plate in front of Venu. The situation is different, but if she looks at this, Venu will be delighted a bit. ¡°Ah......no way, is it really you?" Venu ¡°Yes. That''s why I don''t blame you for eating at the toilet, I know how you feel" Craft ¡°......M, My feeling known......? You, too......? Prince, you......?" Venu Shaking and trembling, Venu¡äs body stumbles. Is this a scrape......? The foot is lowered half a step when I think to take some distance instinctively. But to prevent me from escaping, Venu suddenly spreads her hands©¤©¤ ¡°Waaaai!! You were also a companion!" Venu In no time, she hugged me. A fluffy and soft feel wraps me and Venu¡äs joyful voice is heard. ¡°Oohhoohoohoo! I seem to have misunderstood you a little!" Venu ¡°Hee? Ah, yes. Thank you¡± Craft ¡°It will be hard for each other, but I will do my best. Someday, absolutely, I will admit it!" Venu ¡°......? So, is it?" Craft Separately I don''t want to stand out, but I will keep it here. ¡°The matter of my name is also the result of sticking to my stubbornness. Huhuu, thinking that way, I have a fondness for people who call me Venu!" Venu She is willing to do something by herself. It''s funny, but what is this disgusting feeling. ¡°Well then, Craft-sama. I''m looking forward to afternoon class" Venu ¡°Ah, wait! Can I ask you something?" Craft I don''t know why...... but there was something I wanted to confirm, absolutely one thing. Because it felt that it will clear out what that suspicious feeling in my chest is. ¡°You©¤©¤why do you want to marry me?" Craft ¡°......Why? That''s natural isn¡¯t it" Venu Venu¡äs clothes flutter around lightly, like a servant©¤©¤and she put my hand. ¡°To let the people of Baretoria recognize my existence......just that" Venu ¡°To recognize......you, by any chance?" Craft ¡°Huhuu, then excuse me. I''ll see you later¡± Venu Venu has dashed away beside me without stopping. I was glad to be fine, but I blurted out a little bit. ¡°Make Baretoria¡äs people recognize her existence? Venu, are you serious?" Craft Eating her meal at the toilet and the remark from just now, maybe Venu©¤©¤a certain hypothesis hit my mind. I think it is a ridiculous idea, but I can not explain it otherwise. ¡°Even though she is a princess......is she hated by the people?" Craft There is a mountain of Baretoria¡äs people in the dining room. If Venu is disliked, it is no mistake that she ran away to the toilet. ¡°But why is it so? To be disliked by royalty......" Craft However, there is an example called me and therefore it is not a totally impossible story. ¡°Is that the meaning why she said we are companions©¤©¤" Craft I think and drop my consciousness into the sea of thought. Less than a moment was my guard down...... ¡°Ccrrraaaaffffttttt¡± Kaitos As a result, I allowed the creeping sign to approach me from behind. ¡°............Ouu, Kaitos. You¡äre late¡± Craft When I realize, it''s already too late. My body and both hands are wrapped by her long tail. ¡°T, Taaaiiilllll!¡± Craft Her face and body are still in human state, but with the wings blurring out, she is almost half dragon half human! ¡°Gugigigii! This amountttt......!" Not good! I can''t try to escape, because I''m not an enemy for Kaitos¡äs power who is a former dragon! ¡°Hahaha, I caught you! I won''t let you go! If you move even a little, I can''t guarantee your life, Craft!" Kaitos ¡°If I die, you will die either! Hasty Kaitos!" Craft More than that, I''m the same as a death row inmate waiting for the final time. I have no choice but to be left to Kaitos. ¡°I feel relieved, Craft. I won¡¯t kill you......now" Kaitos Kaitos opens her small mouth while remaining in his half beast state. In his mouth, his sharp fangs are shining and his pink tongue was full with saliva. ¡°Huhuhu, I will fully savor you¡± Kaitos ¡°St, Stooopppp!¡± Craft My scream is in vain and Kaitos bites my head. Bite, lick, wet head......it keeps going forever. ¡°......GajiGajiGaji¡± Kaitos Like the time when I gave him a feast, Kaitos flaps his wings from being pleased. ¡°Okay, I will remember this......¡± Craft I endure the feeling of wanting to cry and weep and swear my vengeance to Kaitos. ¡°Huh, idiot. Originally you can''t play games against me" Kaitos ¡°Say whatever you want, Kaitos. I''m a man who always returns the debt" Craft Ten minutes until afternoon class starts. I falter to the bluff as much as I can, but I say no to a few things. ¡°Hou? Then, I will make a loan that cannot be returned......with these fangs¡± Kaitos ¡°Ah, hey! Stop! U, Uwaaaa!!¡± Craft Ten more minutes. My hell-like lunch break was not to end yet. Volume 1, 3: First class of the bride training study Volume 1, Chapter 3: First class of the bride training study ¡°......So what? What the hell happened?" Efrika ¡°Aah? Did you see something?" Craft I sat on a chair In the Bride Training Study classroom, poking a desk with a stick. ¡°Do you see what you''re saying with a bite mark on your face?¡± Efrika ¡°Huuh......idiots¡± Leona Lunch break was over. Four people were in the classroom - Leona, Kaitos, Efrika and I. That''s right, it''s the same as this morning. "Absolutely. It was too much to scratch Nii-san¡äs face, Kaitos¡± Efrika Efrika had entered the classroom and upon seeing my face, changed her expression and jumped at me. It would become serious if a scar remains, so she healed me with a recovery spell. "Kaitos-chan! Did you know?¡± Leona ¡°You''re wrong Leona. It is Craft fault for hurting my pure heart" Kaitos ¡°What! When did I hurt you!" Craft ¡°Don''t get excited, Nii-san. Here, I will heal you" Efrika The moment the light emitted from Efrika''s palm melted into my wound, the pain on my face disappeared. It is as good as ever. If only her character would only be good, like this......hey. ¡°Now, Nii-san. The injury has been healed, so do you have an explanation? " Efrika Efrika, who finished treating me, was angry and has her hands on her waist. It is nice to see her breasts shaking as she change her posture¡­¡­but I don''t care what she said. ¡°Enhanced running in the corridor, fighting in the dining hall, half dragonization of your contracted legendary beast...you made too much noise on the first day" Efrika ¡°Hah! You two left me alone with Kaitos! Your fault!¡± Craft ¡°That''s not the problem!" Efrika Efrika scoffs with a smack. Well, did I press a bothersome switch? ¡°......Why? Why doesn''t Nii-san think about my feelings?" Efrika ¡°Feelings......? What feelings?" Craft I really have no idea. I''ll try to fool her again, playfully. I was trying to raise my face when saw tear stains on Efrika¡äs face. ¡°I......I''m betting on this opportunity, so, uuu......even if it''s not a big deal for Nii-san, it''s all for me¡­¡­¡± Efrika ¡°Uu, guu......Efrika......¡± Craft A drops of tear fall on the floor. I¡­...I hated this for a long time. I don''t know why, but my heart is aching and my whole body is trembling from frustration and irritation. ¡°Hurry up, please¡­...don''t deprive me of my last possibility¡­...uuu¡­...hiiku¡± Efrika ¡°U, Understand! Hey, I understand you endless weeper! Wipe away your tears! Damn it! " Craft I was upset, but I hold my handkerchief against Efrika¡äs face. Whether such behavior was funny, Leona is leaking a laugh. ¡°Don''t laugh, Leona! I just don''t want to see a crying face that is similar to my face! Hey, hey! Don''t laugh at me, Efrika! I''ll kill you!¡± Craft ¡°N¡­...huhuhuu, forgive me, Nii-san. I''m so happy." Efrika Efrika receives my handkerchief and wipes away her tears. And when she put my handkerchief secretly into her dress, she winks and smiles. ¡°Well, I will think about it for a while now. Is that okay?" Efrika ¡°Yes. It seems like you knew it and got the most from it" Craft ¡°You are a good brother, Craft-niisama! And Efrika-aneesama? Won''t you return the handkerchief now...?¡± Leona ¡°Huhuhuu, what are you saying Leona?¡± Efrika With a fearless smile, Efrika avoided Leona¡äs words. ¡°Oh dear. You''re trouble with Efrika, Craft¡± Kaitos ¡°Leave it alone. The other candidates will come soon, so please keep quiet" Craft If you listen carefully, you could hear faint footsteps from behind the door. The number of people are¡­...one, two, three. It seems that everyone had arrived together. Almost on time, they''re serious. ¡°Excuse me" Musashi *Gigii* the door opens with a old sound. Musashi in armor, came in first, followed by a yawning Merry. Venu came in a few seconds after them. ¡°Maa? Everyone already getting along!" Craft ¡°Unlike the abroad students, we are all locals students. So we don''t have to prepare for the dormitory" Venu Because I heard many strange things today, the brightness of Venu is strangely scratchy. Moreover, the three people scattered without sitting near each other. It seems that there is still a lot of openings. ¡°Osshaa! Craft-sensei! We''re all here, so let''s start the class quickly!¡± Meri ¡°Oh, you''re really motivated Meri. Then, shall we start?" Craft Meri was seated in the front row side by side with Leona and Efrika. Such a honest and cheerful person is really comfortable looking at. ¡°I''ll say it once again, I¡äm Craft. You can call me sensei, or with any honorifics, I don''t really mind it., I''ll call everyone by their name as well¡± Craft ¡°Please wait! Why are you calling me by my nickname?" Venu ¡°Very good question Venu. Because it¡¯easy to call, and it''s cute" Craft However, when I call her Venu it feels slightly different from a nickname, so I said such a thing. The mouth of Venu is rising gladly as an evidence. ¡°Cu, Cute......? But, I am beautiful rather than cute" Venu ¡°Yes. If there are no objection, please prepare your notebooks, everyone" If I stop for this trivial matter, I can''t do what I want to do. I write letters with a small cane made of gunnigan on the black board made of mana gear tree. It''s a very different from writing a letter per brushstroke. I wrote the characters for ¡°Craftology¡± in big lettering. It was the lesson I would teach about, from now on. ¡°Spelling of name, Age, Birthday. Height and weight......I don''t care, but this is the base. " Craft When I shake the small cane, its projects on the blackboard in a blink of an eye. The small cane of Gunnigan can project the thought in one''s head seems to be popular among teachers. ¡°Naa! What is this? Character briefly......! " Venu ¡°Oh, is this the first time you''ve seen this? Magic tools are really rare in Baretoria" Craft While feeling a little fun with Venu¡¯s initial reaction of, I continue writing on the board. ¡°Just like that. Please look at the other profile lightly. It''s not that important" Craft ¡°Emm......having a contracted mythical beast and using it mainly......what is a contracted mythical beast?¡± Venu ¡°OiOi. You know what Venu, you guys don''t have much knowledge about other countries.¡± Craft Since there is almost no exchange between the countries other than Dibair, I was starting to understand that there will be some differences in knowledge and perception......which is terrible. ¡°......Alright, this a good opportunity. I will explain the culture of each country at the end of the lesson." Craft ¡°What is the culture of each country?" Leona ¡°Okay Leona. It''s a bit troublesome but for one month from now I will explain the terms everytime there is a need of explanation ¡± Craft Also, acquaintance of each other''s culture may deepen the relationship between these girls. Even though it would be troublesome, for me to enjoy teaching after this, I would need to eliminate these obstacles. ¡°That''s right! Then I will study too!¡± Leona ¡°I don''t mind. In this class, there will be no jury needed......" Craft For Leona, who was confined in the castle, it''s a priceless opportunity to know about other countries. Even with my poor explanation, I''m sure it will be useful for the future. ¡°Craft-sensei, I don''t want to know about the cultures of the other countries" Venu ¡°Listen, Venu. It is necessary to have the experience of the other country widely if you want to become the Dibair¡¯s Queen. I traveled to each country enduringly for the whole past year" Craft I didn''t really think about such a difficult thing, but... I''ll keep it that way. ¡°......I understand. There seems to be a proper circumstance, if you say so" Venu ¡°Okay, I will continue if there are no other complaints. Lets start with Kurinos" Craft Swing the small cane I draw a map of Rusanas on the board. Drawing a line by hand, I write Kurinos on it. It is faster to actually use your hand than to think about the characters. ¡°Kurinos is a terrain surrounded by snowy mountains. There are various mythical beasts living in those mountains. The people of Kurinos have contracted with those mythical beasts and enriched their lives by living together. They can call the mythical beast that they signed a contract with" Craft ¡°I''ve heard something like that. There is a pure beast and that beast can''t coexist!¡± Venu ¡°That''s right. Most of the people from Kurinos are beasts who have the strength of a mythical beast and they are born with some characteristics of animals. The horns that are growing on Kaitos¡äs head are exactly that" Craft Because Kaitos transforms with his own abilities, it is different from real Kurinos people but let''s use him for explanation. It will be easier to chat about the true nature of Kaitos. ¡°Existing mythical beasts are rare among races and seem to be sacred to the people of Kurinos" Craft Ironically, because of their rarity, they can see the evil in someone. Now most of the mythical beasts are hunted by smugglers and the remaining tribes are few. ¡°Mythical beast©¤©¤there is no real evidence, but rumors are heard" Musashi Finally, Musashi who had been silent since the start of the class, opened her mouth. She was something to worry about, because her eyes are directed towards Kaitos. ¡°Then, what type of mythical beast did Kaitos-dono contracted with?" Musashi ¡°Mee? My mythical beast......?¡± Kaitos ¡°It is unlikely that Kaitos-dono is an ordinary person. I see that you were quite a expert" Musashi I''m sorry, but she is my mythical beast......but I can not say that. Naturally, does Kaitos have no contracted mythical beast and it''s bad if it''s investigated. ¡°Ah, Musashi. That''s......¡± Craft I think about how to explain it, but Musashi opens her mouth again. ¡°According to the story I heard......you certainly will be from the tribe called King of mythical beasts, right? If there is a chance, I would like to have a fight with you by all means" Musashi ¡°Musashi, I''m sorry, but that''s not true. I''m an Admol dragon......" Kaitos Kaitos squeezes his voice quietly and looking down with his eyes. It is unreasonable. Anyway, Admol dragons..... ¡°Due to extinction, it¡¯s been a long time since we were referred to as the King of Mythical Beasts." Kaitos ¡°What? Is that true?¡± Musashi A mythical beast that don¡¯t exist in this world anymore - Admol dragons, but was only true for the public. The only surviving admol dragon©¤©¤is the princess of mythical beasts who lives with me. ¡°......Yeah, no doubt" Kaitos ¡°Are you the only one left? Kaitos-dono, if possible talk more about it......." Musashi ¡°Hey, Musashi. She doesn''t want to talk about this. And will be no opportunity to fight anyway" Efrika Continuing with this story is painful for Kaitos. It''s a topic devoted to Efrika, who cared about him. ¡°Muu, but the legendary rumored mythical beast©¤©¤the secret of its strength......¡± Musashi ¡°Don''t forget that you''re in class now, Musashi. We will end this talk now and I will continue!" Craft When I strike my hand on the desk, everyone looks up at me. I''m afraid I will manage to mess up this. Thank you, Efrika. ¡°After talking about the North Country we will continue with the South Country. So it will be Bunna¡äs turn¡± Craft ¡°Good! I was waiting! Hehee, I''m looking forward to it!" Meri Seeing the smiling figure of Meri, I enclose Bunna drawn on the board, in a circle. ¡°Bunna is a country made up of numerous tribes. It is considered to be the smallest of the five countries, and the degree of civilization is also low, but it actually has the highest level of culture" Craft ¡°I don''t want to hear that. Even if civilization is high, then Baretoria is developing a better science!" Venu ¡°Simply a big-headed Baretorian will think that so." Efrika ¡°Naa! Take this back! I can''t forgive you for insulting Baretoria!" Venu Her confidence in her country leaves Venu wanting to scream...loudly. Patriotism is valued but she will have a difficult time as a royal if she couldn¡¯t withstand this much... ¡°Don''t interfere Efrika. And Venu, I don''t want to say that Bunna is higher than Baretoria particularly. However, Bunna has more aspects than Baretoria" Craft ¡°If Craft-sama says so, I''ll just listen" Efrika ¡°Nihihii, thank you! Even Bunna has good places!" Meri Meri, the mood maker, is reliable indeed. ¡°Bunna is a natural rampart, because most of the country is surrounded by large forests. There are no steam engine and no mythical beasts......but there is wisdom to supplement them and magic crystals" Craft Magic that is now popular, as it is commonly found throughout Rusanas. Immigrants spread the knowledge about magic to other countries. Originally only technology was found only in Bunna In other words, Bunna created the foundation of magic¡­...in other word, it is the source. ¡°You can use magic technology, like this small Ganigan cane, but science doesn''t catch up. The difference won''t be such a degree when you become a magician in Bunna. Is that right, Merry?" Craft ¡°Yes! You can fly the sky with a broom and you can also make a golem from clay!" Meri ¡°A country that has developed only with magic and without destroying the vast nature. That''s Bunna¡± Craft Although I have only been visited several times, the depth of their power seemed bottomless to me. ¡°This is a story that everyone knows, but magic has attributes which become the origin of power. The natural attributes are fire, water, earth, wind, and thunder which use no mana and no own magic power. Not every attribute can will be used by everyone. Those born with an attribute can use the attributes power. " Craft ¡°Well-informed Craft-sensei! That''s exactly right!" Meri ¡°do you know your own attributes?¡± Craft It is supposed to be checked, with the aptitude test medicine, as soon as a child is born. There used to be a method of classification used by blood organizations, such as ABO Type, in the past, but it¡¯s completely abolished now. Magic attributes are more important than your blood type. ¡°By the way, my magic attribute is thunder. Please tell me your attributes, too.¡± Craft ¡°If you say so. I have healing magic, so I obviously have the water attribute©¤©¤So! It is a natural providence to be weak against Craft-niisan¡äs lightning attribute! Hey, is that right?" Efrika Is that right? Not really. It is weak against the thunder attribute except me. ¡°Craft-niisama already knows, but I have the earth attribute and I''m good at modeling magic" Leona ¡°Wow, that''s amazing, Leona! Earth attribute is stronger than thunder!" Craft ¡°Huh, you idiot. Don''t get carried away so easily¡± Kaitos Oh, my God. The air in the classroom is cold somehow, as Kaitos says. ¡°Ah, bad Kaitos. I know for a while, but I also ask that you share with everyone ,as well." Craft ¡°......I have wind attribute. However, there aren¡¯t many opportunities to use it." Kaitos ¡°Subsequently, I have the fire attribute and I mainly use it according with my sword skills, " Musashi Regardless of Kaitos, Musashi is as expected......which is reasonable. ¡°Next is Venu''s, will you tell us?" Craft ¡°I, I......that¡± Venu Venu shyly hides her face in her hood.And then, after a momentary silence,......she finally opens her mouth. ¡°Sa, Same as you......it is the thunder attribute¡± Venu ¡°Thunder? Oh, really? I am glad that we have the same thunder attribute" Craft ¡°I''m also happy, but......well, it''s nothing, nhuhuu¡± Venu Her mouth peep through the loose deeply-covering hood. I would like to take that hood off and expose her happy-looking face to the other candidates...... ¡°What do you say, you have the same thunder attribute as Nii-san? I have the water attribute, water attributeee!" Efrika I''ll stop because Efrika¡äs face is jealous, unexpectedly. ¡°O, Osshaa! Well then the last one is Meri. Because you have a bright personality, is it fire?" Craft When I thought about it my mind, I called out to Meri,my favorite student. ¡°ChiiChiiChii. Don''t look so sweet!! I''m the granddaughter of a great old man!!¡° Meri ¡°I would never look sweet? You..." Craft ¡°So! I can use all five attributes! It''s awesome!" Meri ¡­¡­Uh, incredible. ¡°Are you serious? I have heard that it is rare to have even just two attributes, but five attributes?" Craft ¡°I don''t lie. I''ll show you proof if you doubt me!!" Meri Meri spreads her palms out and thrust them into the air. All of us leaned over and stared at Meri¡äs hand. I concentrated my consciousness......and right after that. ¡°Haaa! Filmina-El-Torre!¡± Meri A fire lights up from her thumb. And we remarkably see a flow of water on her index finger and a mass of earth on her middle finger. In addition, a whirlwind blows on her ring finger, while the little finger batters with thunder and lightning. ¡°It is a controlling issue to simultaneously using five attributes" Meri ¡°......Surprisingly you say it at such a time" Efrika Efrika is unusually fascinated. There is no impossibility, I have the same impression. ¡°Heeheeh! Are you surprised? Hey, are you surprised?¡± Meri ¡°Be relieved because everyone here is surprised. It''s really awesome" If you are satisfied with my words, Meri solved the magic with a smile. She can freely use all 5 attributes and also use such a huge Trident which seems very powerful......interesting. ¡°Me, Meri-dono! With me! Don''t you feel like fighting with me!" Musashi "Musashi and I fight? Why?" Meri "If there is a strong opponent in front of a samurai, they cannot help challenging them! Meri-dono, I''m begging you!" Musashi "A fight with a samurai seems to be interesting......but I''ve been told by my grandfather that I shouldn''t fight with other countries" Meri "Guu, if there is such circumstances...... I don''t have any choice" Musashi Listen to Meri¡äs circumstances, Musashi withdraws with a shameful face. It seems that she is a master of martial arts, so she probably likes fighting. ¡°Howa! Amazing! My hands are crackling! And it exploded with a Kaboom!" Leona "Leona, your sanity may have returned but it took too much time" Craft Sometimes I think, if there were only Leona''s in the world, there would be no disputes. ¡°Okay. Meri and Bunna are great enough, but let''s gi to Baretoria" Craft "I have been waiting for that! Baretoria is the best country in the world and I''m proud of it!" Venu In one sweep Baretoria is drawn on the blackboard by a line. It is the country with the highest civilization among the five countries and it developed with mechanical technology. ¡°Anyway, everything is in Baretoria. From steam locomotive to flying boats...... " Craft "Well, but that''s not all, the gun technology is also superior than those machines!" Venu As Ragwardo merchants said before, when you talk about guns you talk about Baretoria. The more the image gets settled, the more Baretoria and guns are tied together in Rusanas. ¡°May I ask you a question, Craft-dono?" Musashi "What''s the matter, Musashi? Is it something about guns?" Craft "Yes. There is something which can be called a gun in my country too......I want to know the difference between that ¡°gun¡± and a Baretoria gun" Musashi Musashi is concerned about the performance as a weapon. There are no direct exchange between east and west. ¡°Umm. I''m sorry to say it, but Isamura¡äs gun are an old-fashioned; one with blazing power and low accuracy. There''s almost nothing better than Baretoria¡äs gun" Venu "What! It''s better than Inshi Island!" Musashi ¡°That''s normal! The root of guns lays in Baretoria! Oh, the smell of smoke and the cold feel of iron©¤©¤after all the guns are the best!" Venu Venu pulls out a black pistol from somewhere and her beautiful face distorts. ¡°I don''t agree with the fragrance, but guns are really useful. My recommendation is this one¡± Craft I pull out Dantes from my waist holster and show it. The blue shining barrel is engraved with the blessing rune of Eurelagan Cathedral, which is the key to controlling the magic of the entire gun. ¡°The power and accuracy are up to the owner''s level, and as long as one has magic power, there is no need that bullets will run out......" Craft "Well, it''s a demon gun! No way! You are using the devil gun?" Venu ¡°Yes. The automatic control is now obsolete, but magic control guns are more common, right?" Craft "!! Shut up! So is life! I don''t want to see it!" Venu Venu reveals a ragged look by striking and changing what she doesn''t like. She stares at my Dantes, and shakes her shoulders, while grinding her back teeth. ¡°That......you use a devil gun......I" Venu "What''s the matter? Didn''t you like guns?" Kaitos "Is a devil gun a gun? Kaitos-san, please don''t joke saying such a thing!" Venu The bride candidates are embarrassed of Venu''s indignation that isn''t extraordinary. She should leave this place. ¡°Really. Even though I hate that......bad Venu. I will keep this in mind" Craft "Ah......that......hu, huuh! I''m not saying thank you!" Venu I didn''t mean this, but I''m sorry Dantes. When I took away Dantes, the trembling Venu also regained her calmness and dropped her shoulders. Is the devil gun traumatic for Venu? What the heck is with Venu¡äs public views...... ¡°......Ah, well then let''s go back to our topic......next and last turn is Isamura" Craft "Don''t worry, Isamura is a really good country" Musashi "Oh, it''s the only country in Rusanas that has all four seasons. Other than that, Isamura has the best landscape that I have seen." Craft I draw a little landscape on the blackboard. Because the scenery in my head was projected as it is, it was inferior compared to the real thing. ¡°Th, that''s Fushi mountain. This is the most famous scenery in Isamura! In the past......" Musashi ¡°Well? Me too? What happened to you suddenly, Musashi-san?" Craft ¡°Ah, no! Now that you are only excited about it, you have to be!¡± Musashi ¡°It''s a bad......oh well, I will continue. Isamura is a country rich in culture. Warriors called Samurai protect the country and the people and have a unique culture" Craft Is it hard to say or it is too formal? Feeling the sense of nature and pride? ¡°Prideful guys. They use a special sword called katana and their swordsmanship is unique. There are also a lot of schools and their movement is totally different depending on their birthplace" Craft ¡°Indeed! The sword is a samurai''s soul. And proving of being the strongest of own¡äs school is a samurai''s long-cherished desire!" Musashi Musashi shouts with excitement, as her armor tinkles. I thought she was a tough guy, but she might be pretty childish and cute unexpectedly. ¡°Yours......Musashi how is your sword school called?¡± The swordman schools I know from Isamura are the Shigen sword school and the Hokushin sword school. Both schools are single sword using, which is different from Musashi¡äs dual wielding sword school. ¡°......The name of my school? Hmm, what should I say......" Musashi ¡°You don''t even know your own school? I''m appalled to hear the name of the samurai" Venu Venu opinion is reasonable, but not knowing isn¡¯t uncommon. I learnt swordsmanship by Zenan, but I don''t know the name of the school and I never even thought of asking.... ¡°That''s rude. It''s not that I don''t know, but I haven''t decided on a name yet" Musashi ¡°You haven''t decided on a name? Is Musashi''s sword self-created style?" Craft ¡°Thats right. My dream is that the sword style that I have created recognized as the strongest school!" Musashi I see. Because it self-taught, it is that unusual dual sword. It is difficult to master this even if you come up with something like that without thinking. ¡°I adore that you will devise your own sword style!" Leona ¡°So you still don''t lose? I think it''s good to be proud of" Craft ¡°No, you two don''t compliment me! I''m still inexperienced" Musashi To Leona ''s generous praise, Musashi blushes and hide her face. Is this really Musashi......? ¡°But Craft-niisan¡äs sword isnt losing against you. It''s so strong" Leona ¡°Yes! Craft-niisama is the strongest in the world! Right, Nii-sama!" Efrika Ah, the strongest in the world. If Leona says so......surely. ¡°The world''s best? Is that so?" Musashi ¡°Hey, you better believe it. I''m the best in the world......" Craft ¡°There is only one way! Craft-dono, I''d like you to fight with me!" Musashi ¡°............What?¡± Craft Rising from her seat, Musashi points her fist to me. I feel her spirit through her fist......what a nuisance. ¡°A serious match where blades collide......kuuu, boiling! My blood is boiling!" Musashi ¡°Ah, Musashi. It seems you''re excited, but I don''t want to fight" Craft ¡°Why! Was it because my pressure wasn''t enough?" Musashi ¡°It''s not that you''re not pressuring enough, I just don''t have any obligation to accept it" Craft My purpose is to train my bride,not someone who is a battle-maniac. ¡°No! It''s your obligatory!¡± Musashi ¡°Obligatory? What do you mean, Musashi?" Efrika Efrika asks the meaning of Musashi ''s words. Then Musashi strangely began to speak of a mysterious theory confidently. ¡°When Craft-dono is King, it is reasonable to want a strong child for succession. That won''t happen unless the wife is also strong. In other words, this is very important for me!" Musashi ¡°Although a triumphant look is bad, it''s the popular use of a Isamuran battle-maniac" ¡°Meri-dono who is prohibited from fighting was give up! However, I don''t say it disgustingly to Craft-dono who owes me from a year ago! I won''t say it! Say it!" Musashi ¡°Yes, don''t say it three times! Discipline!¡± Craft The matter which was refused by Meri seems to continue and Musashi doesn''t give up. What should I say to declining once and for all......shit, what shall I do? ¡°Okay, Craft-sensei! I think that there was no opportunity to fight a samurai!" Meri ¡°Craft-dono! Please fight me! Please!" Musashi Musashi begs by bowing her forehead on the desk. Her desperation weighs heavily on my chest. ¡°Emm, Craft-niisama. Do it for me..., emm" Squirming the tip of the pen and fingers, Leona looks at me apologetic. At least I think it''s because of me. ¡°I don''t care. It''s not my intention, but it''s a favor for the bride candidate" Craft ¡°Th, then! Are you going to fight me?" Musashi ¡°Yes. The time is tomorrow morning, seven o''clock. Is the practice field next to the school building good?" Craft I shake the small cane. A map about the practice field is drawn on the blackboard. Originally it''s a place for magic lessons, so it''s okay if we have a fierce batte. ¡°Practice field......is that a place to duel?" Musashi Musashi stared at the map with a tearful face. Remembering the place and finish preparations for tomorrow immediately, without showing other emotions. ¡°I knew it! Tomorrow''s fight! I¡äm going to fight fair and to win!" Musashi ¡°I may be a little late, but¡­...wait for me. The fight starts as soon as we arrive" Craft ¡°Because it is impossible without you, there is no particular objection!" Musashi ¡°Thanks for understanding. Then, it is good......shall we end here today?" Craft I set a promise and ended the lesson when Musashi was satisfied. The first day ended with self-introduction and mutual friendship. ¡°From tomorrow, we will try various things. It''s the bride training before marriage" Craft ¡°Yes, I hope so. Both my cooking and sewing skills! I cultivated them all for Nii-san......" Efrika ¡°Everyone, you can return as you want. Don''t fight or cause problems in the dorm" Craft ¡°Huhh......! You don''t even have to tell us anything!" Venu When I urge so, Venu quickly left the classroom. It seems that she disappeared without saying goodbye. ¡°Whew. I wish I could be honest like you" Musashi ¡°Naahaahaa! Fight, Fight! I''m looking forward to the match tomorrow!" Meri ¡°It isn''t a spectacle. Well, if Musashi is good, I don''t mind it" Craft ¡°I also dont care. Meri-dono, please do whatever you like. I will show you that tomorrow I will be the best bride in the world" Musashi Holding her two Katana bags under the arm, Musashi left the classroom with a bow. Meri left next by holding her huge trident and waving her hand with a smile. Thus, the only ones left in the classroom are the Dibair group including Kaitos. ¡°......Huu, it''s finally over. I''m glad I didn''t have anything major happening" Efrika, who stood up from the chair, took off her chest armor. Squatting and metal fittings come off and her rich chest is released at once©¤©¤which is awfully hot. ¡°Efrika. It''s only you and Musashi, you''re wearing heavy equipment to that extent" Craft Where do you think you are? It''s school, not a battlefield. ¡°Ah, emm, Nii-sama. Your work is already over, right?" Leona While I was appalled by Efrika¡äs resilience, Leona pulled my sleeve. ¡°Would you like to go back to the castle with me? I want to talk to you in my room!¡± Leona ¡°Willingly. I also want to speak with Leona" Craft ¡°Wait Nii-san. Did you forget to fight Musashi tomorrow?" Efrika I hold Leona¡¯s hand and Efrika¡¯s triumphant return disturbs me.Kaitos in the back was also blocking my way. ¡°Afford? You think I''m going to lose?" Craft ¡°It is not so, but the opponent is a samurai of Isamura. And even if it is a sword fight, Nii-san..." Efrika ¡°I agree. My guess is that her sword skills is about the same level as mine¡± Craft ¡°Eh? If so, is there a chance for Nii-sama to win......?¡± Leona Leona looks up at my face uneasy, wondering about me. I gently stroke her small head, before I whisper to make her feel secure. ¡°It''s all right, Leona. I definitely won''t lose" Craft ¡°Where does that confidence come from? Is it a secret plan?¡± Leona ¡°A secret plan. There are certain things, but¡­...well, that''s the fun of tomorrow" Craft In today''s first class, their personalities and characteristics are grasped. I''ll start slowly from tomorrow©¤©¤ ¡°Alright, do you want to train?" I start to train my brides at Dora Castle at night. Most of the attendants finish their work and take a rest in their room. I was thinking about going to sleep in my room after having dinner with Leona, Kaitos and Efrika, but I remembered that Efrika stole my handkerchief. ¡°Hey Efrika! Let¡¯s have a little talk!" Craft It it was an ordinary handkerchief I wouldn¡¯t have minded, it is a memento of my mother. I was in front of her room to get it back neatly...... ¡°What, has she gone to bed already?" Craft There is no reply from the other side of the door. Efrika won''t pretend not to hear my call......so it seems that Efrika has already gone to bed. ¡°......Come on, Efrika. I''m here to worship your stupid sleeping face" Craft It is impossible to think that it is normal to enter a woman''s room without permission, but the other person is a woman who has a stolen a man possession. Sometimes she doesn''t get punished even if I retaliate this much. ¡°Naa? What, the light is still on?¡± Craft When I push the door open, light leaks from Efrika¡äs room. I also consider the possibility of Efrika''s sneaky trap, so I take a breath before I advance my feet into the room. But I had nothing to fear as Efrika¡äs appearance was found soon. ¡°Was she sleeping after all? And on the desk......" Craft It is the same as my room, an elegant room with no useless things at all. Efrika was asleep on the desk, her back turned to my sight. This is surprising, but there seems to be little things about me in Efrika''s room. ¡°I thought that she was sticking voyeur photos of me on the entire wall" Craft Instead, looking at the recipe of medicine affixed, I again recognize that she is a skilled magician. Of course that''s natural because she is taking care of Leona. ¡°Shit, I don¡¯t see my handkerchief......but I¡äm not going to search her room" Craft When it comes to this, there is no use in this room anymore......it is too wasteful to come here and go home without seeing her sleeping face. I go towards Efrika who tried to do something. She was in the middle of writing something, holding a feather pen, while sleeping with her long hair spread on the tabletop. Efrika might have been considerably tired if she didn''t notice me approaching. ¡°Come on Efrika, go to be......dd¡­...?" Craft Something appears in my sight just before putting my hand on Efrika¡äs shoulder. The identity of the writing paper covered by this sleeping saint was quite different from my imagination. ¡°Leona¡äs medical records......?¡± Craft What is written in this beautiful letters without blur are Leona¡äs symptoms, condition, the outcome of new treatments and the type of drug to try next. Each one of them is gathered up carefully and this record is exquisite, with no hesitation, so that even I who isn''t familiar with medicine knows that it is detailed. I am surprised at the contents and raise my eyes without thinking, before I look on the bookshelf next to the desk. There were documents exactly the same as the record that I just looked at©¤©¤the record from the age of three years to the present was recorded. ¡°When Leona was three years old, at that time was she ten years old.......?" Craft I pick up a bundle of old-fashioned medical records and try to flip through the page quickly. Efrika was much younger then sothe way of putting it together is pretty clumsy. However, the content was spelled out, without mention the disease which I didn''t even know, of course. However it''s not a level that it''s possible for children over ten years old. ¡°Best healer of the continent......did she had such a talent since that time?" Craft No, she really is. I''m sure she had decent talent. The road of a healer isn''t sweet enough to manage by effort alone. I know that. However, it is another story. The reason that Efrika began to aim being a healer......was surely because of me. Because I wanted to help Leona, that I was so desperate as to die©¤©¤ ¡°......It''s not funny to have a healer sleep on the desk and catch a cold" Craft I put my hand on Efrika¡äs head who was sleeping soundly. Then Efrika relaxes her mouth comfortably and rubs her face like a cat with her hand. ¡°Indeed. When she is asleep is she really cute......aahh, that¡¯s overemphasis" Craft I pick up her body with extreme caution so as not to wake up the sleeping saint. Well, this is a princess carrying. ¡°I forgot why I liked her, because she was taking care of Leona" Craft By her usual behavior; I took a cold attitude, and in many cases I still think that it is annoying to be honest. But even Efrika, I know exactly. "You are thinking more about me than anyone in this world" Craft I lower Efrika on the fluffy soft bed. Because her posture became easier, Efrika ''s face was really peaceful. "Well, I''m not so sweet as to loose evaluation" Craft After I saw Efrika who turned over, I turned off the lights in the room and headed towards the door. A word is put just before closing the door. "However......from tomorrow I''ll be a little more......just a little bit, I''ll be gentle" Craft These words does not reach the sleeping Efrika, but that''s okay. Such an embarrassing thing, I can''t say it face to face. I close the door quietly, like concealing it. I wonder why my head seems to be getting stuck with such words. "Haa, Efrika. That bet......it''s unexpectedly a decent match" Craft I went into my own room and went to sleep. Volume 1, 4: Nightmare Cooking Showdown Volume 1, Chapter 4: Nightmare Cooking Showdown A long night ended and the morning ahead of the battle with Musashi starts. I got up from the bed in Kaitos¡äs room, ate breakfast, and changed into casual wear. While I was leaving the castle and rubbing my sleepy eyes, I encountered Kaitos©¤©¤ ¡°Craaaffttt!! You, this time I won''t give up" Kaitos ¡°Hey Kaitos. I don''t know why you are so angry, this early in the morning, but I''ll go ahead. " Craft ¡°Guu! Wait, Craft! Heey! He is as fast as ever!" Kaitos I was chased suddenly for some unknown reason, but with my strengthening magic, I ran away.... My escape was successfully. Catching a shuttle carriage in the castle and I head for Bremfai. Yawning, I checking my pocket watch and while being shaken inside the carriage. It¡¯s nine o''clock now, class starts at ten, so I still have plenty of time. I arrive at Bremfai and head straight to the Director''s Office first. ¡°Prince Craft! Good morning! To see you this early in the morning......." Delrogello ¡°Sleepy. Get me drink some hot coffee. Three sugars, no milk" Craft As I entered the room, Delrogello got excited and got up. I asked him to brew coffee for me, before I was able to breathe out at last. An important lesson will start soon, therefore let''s rest a bit. When I sit down on the sofa, the door of the Director''s Office was opened. I turned my gaze to the door with a relaxed attitude, only to see her there... ¡°......What are you doing, Nii-san?" Efrika ¡°Hmm? Oh, Efrika? What are you doing in the Director''s Office?" Craft Efrika tilts her head, before letting out a big sigh. She glances at me filled with emotions such as dissatisfaction, anger and disgust, before rubbing her eyes with her fingers. ¡°It''s already nine o''clock. It''s strange, don''t you have something important to do today" Efrika I didn''t touch anything last night......? It''s natural that she was sleeping that much. I didn¡¯t have to mention it, better to keep it in my chest. ¡°Didn''t I agree with Musashi, as promised? After drinking a cup of coffee, I will head over there" Craft ¡°Are you seriously saying that? Musashi has been waiting since six o''clock" Efrika ¡°Hmm, I guess so. So, how is it?" Craft ¡°You can say that she is preparing herself mentally. She¡¯s sitting straight on the practice field, on top of a cloth that she put on the ground." Efrika ¡°It is as I expected. But...three and a half hours. Well then, a little more time won¡¯t hurt." Craft ¡°Prince Craft! I have brewed the coffee!" Delrogello I receive the cup that I have been on waiting from Delrogello, who ran in slipstick-like by kicking the door open. He used excellent beans from Bremfai and Kirishi Mountain to make the coffee. If I become a class coffee sommelier, I can understand the taste and the stock by smell only. ¡°Zuzuu......hmm. This is very tasty, Delrogello" Craft ¡°Hou. It is cheap goods of Burajarona, but I''m glad that it fits your mouth" Delrogello To my previous words. It was my first time to drink such a cheap coffee. ¡°That was funny, Nii-san. It seems to me that you''re relaxing" Efrika ¡°Oh, Efrika-sama. You resembles Craft-sama even more today, however you are more beautiful" Delrogello ¡°Say more, Delro...hey, what are you saying! Well, you are a bootlicker......" Craft ¡°I''m listening, Nii-san! Musashi''s been waiting on you for more than three hours!" Efrika She is noisy this morning. I can hear you without yelling. ¡°I understand, I understand. I was going to keep her waiting a bit for my schedule." Craft ¡°Schedule? Maybe a strategy or something......?" Efrika ¡°If you go, you will understand. Delrogello, thank you for the coffee" Craft I shake hands with Delrogello, before taking Efrika to the training ground. Because she doesn''t know my true intentions, Efrika is restless beside me. ¡°Don''t be so hasty. There''s a good reason for this" Craft "I know somehow, but it''s terrible. You could have told us beforehand. Musashi and all other candidates have been waiting for Nii-san since early this morning¡± Efrika "Ah, I see. That''s why Kaitos got angry" Craft ¡°No, that seems to be for a different reason...but Venusera is in a bad mood and on the verge of going home, Meri is hungry and sleepy, and Leona is reading a book" Efrika I didn¡¯t think that everyone would have come to watch. It seems that everyone is concerned about our interactions yesterday. ¡°I didn''t tell you, but this is necessary preparation for Musashi herself" Craft ¡°Preparation. Good, I''m looking forward to see how Nii-san will oppose her" Efrika ¡°It''s going to be over soon......oh? Here we are" Craft While we were talking, the training ground came into view. Various training instruments were set up in a wide and refreshing open space. Preparation for the impact on the barrier had been completed in case of emergencies. ¡°This is the location of your fight. However you''re not going to fight fair, right?" Efrika ¡°Ou. In accordance with my educational plan, I''m going to teach her how to fight" Craft With a vulgar smile, I look at my target at the center of the training ground. Musashi was sitting on a cloth and quietly meditating. A pair of katanas were lined up on both sides as she waits for me to arrive. The fight will be easy, because Musashi did as I expected. ¡°Ah, Nii-sama! And Efrika-anesama, too!¡± Leona ¡°Tsk¡­...you finally came, you moron¡± Kaitos I thought that they would talk in a corner of the training ground, but they came over and joined Efrika and I. The ones that walked over were Leona and Kaitos, who came from the castle, however I can''t find Meri anywhere. I wonder if she is still sleeping somewhere. It seems that Venu has returned......ah there she is. "Craft, why didn''t you go back to your room last night?" Kaitos ¡°¡®Cause you were sleeping in my room, so I slept in your room¡± Craft "Ugh.....yo, you big idiot! I was naked and I waited for you!¡± Kaitos ¡°You''re a fool. There is no loophole in the bride training study. Don''t make fun of a virgin male" Craft That lizard with frightened look stepped aside, I glanced at it, confirming the sign. ¡°Well then, are you going to win the match? I will prepare for class when this is over" Craft While approaching Musashi I stretch my arm towards her with a flexible movement. I plan to fight ahead of schedule and it is good to fight over time¡­¡­ ¡°Finally......you came¡± Musashi ¡°It''s already late, Musashi. Let''s start right away¡± Craft Opening her eyes, Musashi looked up at me. While still sitting straight, she responded with silence, without even a tremor. When I see the sweat flowing on her pale face and forehead, I felt better. "Craft-dono......it''s good to start the game, but......wait a little" Musashi ¡°"Take your katanas quickly. Come on, I''ve already pulled mine out" Craft I pull out Danthes from the back sheath, but Musashi still doesn''t stand up. No, the reason is that she can''t stand up. Because she has been sitting straight for more than three hours. ¡°Wa, wait a second! I want to fight very much, but now my feet......" Musashi ¡°I told you, right? I may be a little late, but we''ll start as soon as I arrive" Craft ¡°You indeed said so, but a delay of two hours or more is a little too......" Musashi ¡°Then, this is the start¡± Craft As if there were no objections, I declared the start of the match. ¡°Kuu! This is outrageous!" Musashi I kick Musashi¡äs legs a little, which couldn¡¯t move from sitting straight too long. From only that the samurai of Isamura is miserable©¤©¤in agony, actually. ¡°Nnguuaaa!! Tsaaaawaaaa! It huuuuurrrttttsss!" Musashi Pain stretches from her spine to the tip of her head and Musashi has to open her mouth to breathe. From what I understand, the numb sensation in her feet was directly transmitted to her brain. "Hey Musashi? I''ll forgive you if you tell me that" Craft ¡°U, aa¡­...kuu¡­...you can only use such a dirty trick!¡± Musashi ¡°Ahh~? Cowardly? Don''t talk nonsense, Musashi. Or are you a stupid samurai?" Craft ¡°What! Do you feel like squashing a samurai?" Musashi ¡°What? This place isn''t Isamura. In other countries everyone doesn''t fight fair and square like you. We don''t hesitate to use strange ideas, traps, cowardly hands or anything else" Craft ¡°Th, that''s a different story than this!" Musashi ¡°......What''s the difference?¡± Craft Musashi was unwilling to change her attitude. Apparently, it seems that she still doesn''t know her position. I don''t wait for an answer and press the tip of Danthes against her neck. If I put even a little bit more strength in it......Musashi''s neck will be blown off with her torso in a moment. A drop of red blood flowing from her neck is a telltale sign.. ¡°Hii!! Cr, Craft-dono¡­¡­? What are you doing......¡± Musashi ¡°I''ll admit I''ve made an effort this past year. But it¡¯s not enough" Craft Scared of the pain from her neck, Musashi looking up at me, tremblingly. For the first time in her life she experiences the feeling of her life being held in someone else''s hands, ©¤©¤an unexpected fear must be swirling in Musashi''s chest. ¡°You may have gotten stronger, but strength is not always the right thing to believe in. If you don''t understand it, you cannot win against me" Craft ¡°Uu, aa¡­...he, help me¡­¡­¡± Musashi ¡°Before that, reflect on yourself. You must first turn your eyes to the world around you¡­...remember that¡± Craft ¡°St, Stop, I......in a place like this! N, Nooooo!!¡± Musashi I hold Danthes high and swing it down, forcefully. However, it wasn''t Musashi¡äs body that I pierced, but the ground just beside her feet. About half the blade is stuck in the ground. ¡°Hiuu? I''m saved......¡± Musashi ¡°If it¡¯s going to be getting numb then this should be how it is right? This is such a treat, let¡¯s drink to this." Craft Musashi''s relief is also fleeting. Magic that is released from my arms travels through Danthes, causing the ground to shake wildly. As for the destination of the force, rampaging through the ground the place where a thunder arrives is©¤©¤ ¡°Ah, ahyahyahyaaaaa!!¡± Musashi Of course, Musashi''s feet. The power is moderate, but she won''t be able to move for a while. ¡°Unyuu¡­...its numb......¡± Musashi Musashi gets whacked and falls to the ground. She wasn¡¯t able to use her katana once, and I had a little interest in this fight anyway. but¡­...when I have the opportunity, will I be able to see her sword art sometime? ¡°Hey Efrika! I have finished, come here and treat Musashi!" Craft I beckoned Efrika over, who was looking at us from the outfield. If we use Efrika''s magic, the damage would heal quickly. ¡°I wonder what I should say at this time. No way, it was so easily settled" Efrika With a bitter smile, Efrika comes running to me. She takes out her cane and treats the charred Musashi. A torrent of pale light comes out of the cane and wraps around Musashi¡äs body, before curing her wounds instantly. ¡°I had a hard time doing something about that neck wound. However, it''s safe now.¡± Efrika ¡°Craft-niisama! Really amazing! To win the battle against a Samurai!¡± Leona ¡°Thank you Leona. Well, I didn''t use my swordsmanship at all" Craft I tried to extend my hand to stroke Leona¡äs head, who had came running as well......but that moment, ¡°Craft-donooo! Re-match! Lets fight again!" Musashi At a crucial time, my fingers and right arm were caught by the resurrected Musashi with brute force. This was also well within my expectation, but to ask for a rematch so soon...... ¡°Well, you have lost. Even if you want to fight again, you need to train more first." Craft ¡°I don''t think that I lost! I was careless just now, next time I......¡± Musashi ¡°Hey Musashi, you should chill your head a little. Your tone is also strange" Efrika Efrika calmly tries to soothe Musashi, who isn¡¯t listening at all and is instead stifling me with her burning fighting spirit......wait? Is she really burning? ¡°Craft-dono is a coward, and used such a cowardly measure! I won''t be tricked anymore!" Musashi ¡°Uwatchichi! Hey Musashi! Cool your flames!" Craft Was she not able to control her magical power due to anger? Is that why Musashi¡äs entire body is burning with fire? Damn it, even if I runaway like this it will be troublesome......it can''t be helped then. ¡°I understand! We will do a rematch! So turn off your flames and get away!" Craft ¡°Is, is that true! A samurai won''t be fooled twice!" Musashi ¡°I''m not a samurai. Nonetheless, it is good to fight, but there are conditions." Craft Musashi is satisfied and erased her flames, while I will stab her nail tentatively just in case. ¡°The match is tomorrow. We have a lesson now" Craft ¡°Agreed. However, your cowardly tricks won''t be forgiven again!¡± Musashi ¡°I know that. Musashi, you are misunderstanding! Let¡¯s fight seriously and may the better one win. " Craft ¡°Of course. But your behavior was too arrogant!¡± Musashi ¡°No, it was not. It is a splendid war tactic to disturb the teasing and to keep the other party waiting. On the other hand, what were you doing? You were obsessed with winning, but you were not able to maintain a perfect state to win.¡± Craft This time, it is my turn to stop Musashi. It''s the first step to change this stubborn samurai to my liking. ¡°If you''re a samurai, learn from this loss, and put me in a trap! You should not be proud that you have never lost. Even if you lose, you only have to make use of it, and get stronger!¡± Craft ¡°Ugh......but I''ve never been......but certainly" Musashi ¡°Musashi. Craft means he has lost many times, but he never used an excuse for defeat. That is one of his strengths" Kaitos Don''t say good things, Kaitos! Let me increase the amount of meal this evening. ¡°I wonder if that really is the case. He doesn''t like to lose, but I feel like he is always making excuses" Efrika ¡°You keep silent! I always tell the truth!" Craft ¡°......Craft, don''t make excuses next to my follow up¡± Efrika While Efrika and I are arguing, Musashi laughs, dryly. Was she poisoned by that figure¡­? ¡°Hahaha, you are a funny person. Between the face you made when you put the blade on my neck and your current face. Which one is......." Musashi ¡°Anyway, if you want to get stronger, you should become a little smarter. Do you understand?" Craft ¡°I don''t know what it is, but¡­...I understand what you want to say¡± Musashi Musashi organizes her clothes and retrieves the cloth that had been laying on the ground with dexterity. Then, she binds around the middle with a string, she carries it with her two Katanas on her back. ¡°Tomorrow, at the same time here. I will show you, it will be my win" Musashi ¡°Ah, I look forward to it. Then, everyone! Let''s move to the classroom!" Craft The morning event was over, ncomes a pleasant lesson awaits. I urge everyone to follow as I move towards the classroom. I also think I¡¯m forgot something important but...... hmm, I can''t remember. ¡°Musashi, I hope I can see your sword skills tomorrow" Efrika? ¡°Well, I hope I can give you a little lesson." Musashi ¡°Good luck! I''m rooting for you too!¡± Efrika/Leona ¡°What reassuring words! I will surely win!¡± Musashi Well, it seems that everyone''s relationship has deepened......this may encourage. ¡°Munya......ahmm......Craft-sensei......¡± Meri The person sleeping comfortably at the end of the training field is, Meri. No one remembered her when we moved class forward. Meri, who noticed us later, chased after us...but that is another story. Bremfai Magic and Science Academy: Bride Training Study ~ classroom. The place I visited yesterday really suited my body. ¡°Alright, let us begin class¡± Craft I look over the seated bride candidates and nod in satisfaction.. Oooh, just like a real teacher. ¡°It feels good that all of you attended. That''s right, Venu...¡± Craft ¡°Don''t talk to me, will you? I''m just here to take the class" Venu ¡°I can''t just bounce. There was a proper reason for the matter in the morning. Meri!" Craft ¡°Yes, why didn''t you wake me! I overslept and couldn''t see it!" Meri ¡°Ah, sorry. Later on listen to the results from the others. Well, what I want to say is that everyone is happy that they get along. So, you can seat closer, right?" Craft The three people sitting in the front row are Efrika, Leona and Meri. Kaitos is sitting behind them while Musashi is diagonally behind. Venu sits at the window on the last row. ¡°There is only one person that is going to win this. Why do we need to make friends?" Venu ¡°You''re right, but if you''re not cooperative, you''ll lower your reputation¡± Craft ¡°Not good, Nii-san. Oh, what if you let me do it?" Efrika ¡°Hey, let''s moderate the quarrel. It''s troublesome to take care of it" Craft I took a small cane from my pocket and a big letter reflected on the blackboard. The letter contained a cooking practice.. Yes, today''s lesson is©¤©¤ ¡°As you can see from the board, today¡¯s lesson is cooking." Craft ¡°What, cooking! Foolish! Where is the need to learn such a thing¡­...?" Musashi ¡°What do you think you are here for. This is the bride training study" Craft ¡°Kuu¡­¡­! Cooking......but, I must absolutely be chosen......¡± Musashi As if receiving crushing insults, Musashi has an agonized expression. No, no, what do you say about cooking practice? ¡°Although I thought that it would come......uhuhuu, cooking is easy" Efrika Contrary to Musashi, Efrika is really looking forward to this class. The disappointment is that she is really good at cooking. It is natural because she has learnt housework from a young age by Zenan. I''m not going to spoil it, but I don''t care for just delicious meals. ¡°Everyone of you has some thoughts about this, but it''s already decided. Everyone, move to the cooking room" Craft ¡°Oohoohoohoo!! Today I, will show you my ability!¡± Efrika After leaving the classroom, the bride candidates followed me. What kind of food will they make......I think it''s going to be interesting. ¡°I am a samurai. Craft-dono, a samurai''s don¡¯t enter kitchens." Musashi ¡°Don''t complain Musashi. If you want to be the best master, don''t forget you have to win." Craft As I thought, Musashi seems less reluctant. Because there is no room for that, I would like to get caught in such soft hands...... ¡°Here is the cooking room. Come inside everyone." Craft In the immediate vicinity of the cooking classroom door was an old plate with ¡°Cooking Room¡± written on it. There were several cooking tables,white boards, and, in the corner, pre-prepared ingredients. You could make a great amount of dishes with the amount of ingredients that were stacked like a mountain. ¡°If you go inside, everyone except Leona please put on a cooking robe. I will explain the rules after that" Craft ¡°Rules? Are we going to start the match now?¡± Musashi ¡°It''s far from talking. Although you don''t know, it is my duty to evaluate" Craft ¡°Umm, Nii-sama? Where should I go¡­¡­?¡± Leona ¡°You are the judge. You sit beside me" Craft Leona and I arrive at the platform for the teacher, after the remaining five people arrived at each of their cooking tables respectively. There are some cookware on the stand, but we are not going to use them because we are the judges. ¡°All right, everyone. You can use the tools, equipment, ingredients and seasonings you have here. I don''t have any food restrictions, so please make lunch by lunchtime. That''s the challenge for today" Craft ¡°Yes! I have a question. Is Sensei evaluating the dishes we make?" Meri ¡°I will do that, Meri. I''m going to be the first to taste the finished dish. After me,everyone else will taste it. I don''t expect it to be tasty, but make me something to eat,at least" Craft Nodding at Meri¡¯s words, I take out a large hourglass from inside a drawer. It looks like it''s about 2 hours in size. ¡°Cooking time is over when all the sand falls down. Well, I leave you to make your own special dish. Personally, I''m expecting fun foods to come out" Craft Turning the hourglass quickly, I sit on the chair and observe from the side. I didn''t sleep well because of that affair yesterday and it wouldn¡¯t be bad to take a nap during the time I need to wait for the dishes to be made. Meanwhile, the five candidates seem to be thinking what to make in this limited time. At least Efrika knows what she wants to do, the remaining members are the problem. ¡°Umm, even though they''re still raw¡­...Oh, this looks delicious¡± Kaitos ¡°Hey Kaitos. You can''t afford to eat¡± Efrika ¡°Lets eat it together......then, the dish might be good......" Meri ¡°I''ve never even made a meal before......" Musashi Kaitos got the first move and got distracted, before the others also started to move. Women who are at least ten years old are here. One or two dishes, I don''t demand more. ¡°Huwaaa......nuuguuu¡­...nemii¡± Craft I rubbed my sleepy eyes and lay down on the table. Their cheerful voices as they cook become a comfortable lullaby. ¡°Then, I look forward to the completion¡­...good night¡± Craft ¡°Are you going to take a rest, Craft-niisama?" Leona ¡°Yes, I went to bed a little late last night. I''ll leave those guys to you" Craft It seems like this will be more fun to watch, but less fun to eat. ¡°Yes! I will determine the person suitable to be my future sister with these eyes!" Leona While listening to the voice of my reliable sister, I close my eyelids and escape into the dark world. When I wake up I believethe best dish to be waiting in front of me and I slowly began to count sheep in my head©¤©¤ Two hours to take a nap. I have heard that it is most pleasant to wake up after a two hour nap. That''s why this two hours of sleep will give me the most pleasant awakening©¤©¤ ¡°So I thought...but this is the reality...¡± Craft Some charred stoves. A cooking table that lost it¡¯s cutting board and was torn apart, miserably. A pungent odor which makes you want to pinch your nose. And the sound of something similar to liquid boiling. It wasn''t the best dish which jumped into my eyes, but the cooking room which had been turned into hell. ¡°What happened while I was sleeping? There was originally not even dust in the room, why has it currently been turned into, what seems to be, a witch¡¯s altar? ¡± Craft ¡°......Well, it is a long story but¡­...I''m sorry, I don''t want to talk about it right now" Efrika Efrika getting away from the cooking table with a tired looking face. Something very frightening must have happened. Leona, who was supposed to be the supervisor, is lying in the center of the cooking room unconscious. Meri is laughing and holding her belly down on the floor, causing convulsions. Venu is almost the same as Efrika. Kaitos and Musashi say nothing and are looking at me with a serious face and tearfuly eyes, like they are waiting for a child to be born... ¡°Well, if Leona is alright, then it¡¯s fine. We''ll find the culprit later, so let''s taste the dish for now¡± Craft I close my eyes to the devastation that happened in a part of the cooking room and move to Efrika¡äs table. It is safer to choose Efrika, who has the highest stability and a certain meaningful expectation first. ¡°We''ll all be tasting, so you guys can gather here. Aren¡¯t you worried about your rival''s cooking?¡± Craft ¡°Ah, I''m embarrassed. I''m the first to be chosen. Hey, Leona, get up now¡± Efrika ¡°Hmm......hey? I, why were I asleep......?" Leona Efrika gently wakes up Leona, before preparing the dishes. The dish is covered with a silvery cloche smells good even in while being served in this chaotic environment. It seemed to be just a ray of light. ¡°Uoo! It smells delicious! Hey, Sensei! Let''s open it already!" Meri ¡°Ah. Well then, it''s the opening act" Craft In response to Meri, who jumps up from the floor and hurries over, I take the cloche off. As I expected, my favorite dish is included. I bet she likes the same seasoning as well. ¡°I refrained from roasting the pork because I don''t have enough time. So, what do you think? Making a potato salad with pork, chicken, and steak. This meal is cooked with natural water from Sulpua and the corn soup is thicker than usual, leaving a drooling texture¡± Efrika Even if she is rotten, she is my cousin and therefore she knows my preference. The appearance of the dish is perfect and so is the choice. The question is the taste¡­¡­ ¡°Itadakimasu......moguu, ngu. Uh, not bad" Craft ¡°Huhuu, it''s only natural. I''m very familiar with Nii-san!¡± Efrika Seasoning is also perfect. This is a perfect dish. If I look only at cooking, Efrika seems to be the best bride. ¡°Arrangement of food 100 points. Seasoning 100 points. Dish choice 100 points. Really interesting. A total of three hundred points" Craft This dish is inside my expectations. After all, what I expect and what I can hope for. That''s boring. The nasty is out of the question, but a little playful. ¡°Interesting, isn''t it. I didn''t consider perfect, but if it is 301 points out of 400......huhuhu" Efrika Efrika, who suddenly got a high score, feels good; she seems invisible and dangerous in the eyes of the other bride candidates. However, they don''t need to worry, the world isn''t that sweet. ¡°Haa? ¡°Interesting¡± is weighted 700 points. You have 301 points out of 1000" Craft What''s most important to me is whether it''s interesting or not. If you evaluate by that premise, this dish is definitely boring. I don''t want to eat this every day, even though it is good occasionally. ¡°......I am sorry, I couldn''t understand what you said right now. Can you say it again? " Efrika ¡°You have 301 points out of 1000. Before we continue with the next dish, letsfinish this dish together" Craft Efrika, who believes that she heard wrong, solidifies like a plaster in an instant.. Ignoring her, I finish Efrika¡äs dish with the remaining candidates. ¡°It''s awesome! Efrika is a good cook!¡± Kaitos ¡°Oh, I think it''s good, elder sister! But interesting¡­...I''m not sure¡± Leona ¡°Thank you both. But you can''t compliment me......" Efrika ¡°Has someone not taken a bite from this dish......Venu. Aren''t you eating?" Craft Away from Efrika¡äs dish and those eating, Venu sits on a chair and hasn¡¯t moved. She is wringing her fingers on the table with a dull face. ¡°I''m not interested in other people''s cooking. This is just a matter in which one does their best.t" Venu ¡°Hohou. If you say that, then you must have good cooking skills, right?¡± Craft As my goal for this class was to make everyone open their hearts, Venu''s behavior made my heart ache. I hoped to find an alternative way in this lesson......but well, how is her dish? ¡°Needless to say, Baretoria meals are the best in the world! Now, please eat!" Venu Venu¡¯s food has a strange shape. A lot of ingredients are put on a flat, stretched fabric. This smell......Bajimato and cheese? ¡°Its Baretoria¡äs pride: Pizzar. I used high quality Bajimato which only grows in the Dyna Mountain Range and Tigatawos milk cheese. The Gaia wheat dough is also produced in Baretoria......" Venu ¡°Uoo!! Hey, Venu! How do you eat this? Come on, say it quickly!" Interrupting Venu¡äs explanation, Meri jumps to the pizzar, while wiping her saliva. That momentum... she is barely rational. ¡°It is Venusera! It is cut with this pizzar cutter" Venu Venu takes out a silver stick with a circular blade and uses it to divide the pizzar into pieces, skillfully. ¡°Hee, is this something that can cut by just rolling over things? This is convenient" Meri ¡°Come on, eat! Bow down before Baretorian¡äs cooking!¡± Venu ¡°Uoo, this is what you say! Something is growing! I''m getting ready!" Meri ¡°Such a strange food......omuu......oh, how strange......this is good......" Craft When you pick up one of the eight pieces of pizzar, the cheese draws into a thread and drips. Further bringing the tip into the mouth and eating it up to the middle......the flavor spreading into the mouth is one of many ingredients harmonize. ¡°Wow, that''s interesting. I didn''t know that hot cheese and Bajimato would fit together this way" Craft ¡°That''s right. It''s looks a little dull, but you change the ingredients and eat a lot, without getting tired of it" Venu ¡°Ngungu......the dough is sticky and delicious!" Craft ¡°Well done Venu. I especially liked the lobster and scallops" Meri ¡°It is Venusera! Ooohoohoo! Baretoria is famous for cooking such as Pesta and Rizotte as well as Pizzar. Pizzar is just a part of the cuisine !" Venu Venu is looking good judging by the storm of praise that sprung up. It seems like she won''t change, as usual, but¡­...I know that she thought about us properly. ¡°It''s brilliant, Venu. The taste, the appearance, and the choice of the dish are high scoring. In particular, that you chose Pizzar from among the numbers of Baretorian dishes, was greatly appreciated" Craft ¡°Aete? Nii-sama, is there a reason you don''t like Pizzar?" Leona Beginning with Leona, everyone seems to be unaware of this fact. Isn''t it noticeable that Venu is shy and now very embarrassed? She is bright red and restless. ¡°Well, why don''t you think about it yourself. It''s a worrisome assessment, but......80 points for both choice and taste and arrangement 90 points. Finally, including the 500 points of interest......a total of 750 points for Venu" Craft ¡°Heee......750? Fuwaa! Congratulations Venusera-san!" Leona ¡°A, eh? Yes......750......that''s right. I have 750............750!!" Venu ¡°What are you surprised about? That was a great dish, Venu¡± Craft I stroked Venu''s head through the hood and proceeded to the next cook. ¡°Aa¡­...I did nothing in particular, I just cooked normally......" Venu ¡°Be a little straightforward. Everyone is pleased with your cooking." Craft The reason why Venu chose Pizzar is because it''s a dish that everyone can share. Not only did that appeal to me, but it displayed Venu¡¯s gentle heart who chose a dish for everyone......I wonder why, I think it''s really affectionate. ¡°You did it! Hehee, please make another Pizzar next time! Let''s eat it together!" Meri ¡°If you say that. I don''t have to think about it a bit!" Venu ¡°Umm. You can boast Venusera. I definitely want to eat it again" Meri Being sandwiched by gluttonous, Venu hides her face shyly. Oh, she''s healed. ¡°750......? Even I only have 301 points, ah! What does that mean!" Efrika ¡°Come on, sit down, Efrika" Craft I feel a great mess on the horizon. Let''s assume that her mind is restarting and move to the next tasting. ¡°Now, the next one is Meri¡­...hey, where is your dish?¡± Craft Although Venu''s evaluation ended and we continue, there is nothing on Meri'' s cooking table. No way, did she eat her own dish? ¡°Don''t look like that Craft-sensei! I have a proper dish!" Meri ¡°Bad bad. You''re greedy, unlike Kaitos¡± Craft ¡°Craft, I can¡¯t let this pass! I''m just in my growing phase!" Kaitos ¡°Nahahaa, growing season is fine. If you eat this, then your daily nutrition is perfect!" Meri Meri leaves the cooking table and walks to where the ingredients are stacked. There is a big three-staged wagon next to the food mountain, and if you look closely there seems to be a dishes there. ¡°I couldn''t put it on the table. Look, this is Meri¡äs special!" Meri A variety of dishes with proportions with honestly a ¡°special¡± size were arranged. without honesty have carried the word ''special''. Special dishes are connected with each dish one by one, and even this still insists on existence. ¡°Roughly counting there are more than ten items......you finished making this amount in two hours?" Craft ¡°It is easy if you cook efficiently. If you''re fast, you can eat plenty of delicious dishes!" Meri ¡°It''s not easy to reach that level. You should be a chef¡± Craft I put one of Meri''s dishes on the table. It is amazing to be able to make so many dishes at the same time, but no matter how many there are, there is no meaning if the taste isn¡¯t there. ¡°This is feather pig......grilled with Whiton¡äs herb. Let me tell you, I''m picky about my pork." Meri The pork was cut into bite sized pieces.. When pushing the tip of the fork against the surface of it¡¯s skin, I pierced the meat without delay. Just being baked just cannot achieve this...how it become so soft? ¡°Momu......ah, doesn''t just melt in your mouth. What kind of trick did you use?" Craft ¡°Niihiihii! A lot of special magic was transmitted to Bunna. This time I used magic to manipulate the hardness of objects. Just remember, you can apply magic to various dishes!" Meri To handle such high magic, it seems that her skill level is considerable high in all attributes. ¡°That''s brain ice cream with stir fried mantises and beetles! My favorite!" Meri Having so many low-quality products as her favorite food......uuga, she¡¯s made a great thing. ¡°This bean soup is very delicious. Can you tell me the recipe, if you don''t mind?¡± Craft ¡°Ah! Because she used water magic, it is perfect for Efrika" Meri ¡°Meri-san, please tell me as well!" Efrika Because there is a great variety, everyone seems to pick up their favorite dish. Even if it is not the result intended by them, I would like to evaluate that all members have been united in this way. ¡°Hehee, don''t panic everyone! Sensei, let me know my score quickly!" Meri ¡°Hmm, Meri¡äs scoring is taste 85 points, arrangement 50 points and choice 95 points. 500 points for interest, total 730 points. Taste, choice and interest were high......but the arrangement" Craft Half of the dishes all look delicious, but the other half have problems. After all, the low-quality food caught the tail. No, Kaitos is pleased. ¡°......Arya, it''s hard to be tolerant. Kaaa! I lost to Venu!!" Meri ¡°It is Venusera! And you have worked hard. Winning and losing is trivial" Venu ¡°MushyaMushya¡­...you are right, Meri. If I was judging you, I would have given you a full thousand points" Kaitos It''s good to talk, but a insect''s foot is twitching from Kaitos¡äs mouth. What should I think about the face of my ideal girl that eats insects like that? Real torture? ¡°Ah......Cr, Craft-sensei? Because of the insects......are you angry?¡± Meri ¡°Naa? No, I''m not mad at you, Meri" Craft ¡°But I......I''m not a tactless woman, I can''t cook well......" Meri Meri seems to have misunderstood my frowning with a pale face. This depression is unexpected as she is originally a cheerful character. ¡°I told you earlier? Your evaluation is 730 points. You weren''t able to reach Venu, but your score is about twice as much as Efrika. You can boast that you have more points than Efrika, right?¡± Craft ¡°Craft-sensei......that, you¡äre right. I have twice as much as Efrika!¡± Meri ¡°Wait a minute! Why are you making me a point of reference like that? That''s terrible, Nii-san!¡± Efrika Efrika raises her voice in protest and complains a bit but I ignored it. I hit Meri¡¯s back who regained her energy from Efrika¡¯s precious sacrifice and I softly whisper. ¡°Please be relieved Meri. You are cute and charming tanned woman" Craft ¡°Auee? Cr, Craft-sensei?¡± Meri With her beautiful face and seductive body, Meri''s charm is clearly visible. ¡°It''s good to be insensitive. You have not only a blessed appearance, but also a bottomless brightness. And the flower ornament in your hair shows your charm" Craft ¡°Is, is that so......? Am I cute......?" Meri She has never been praised before now and is so charmed by my words, that Meri falters. Hey, what were the eyes of the boys in Bunna looking at? ¡°Hmm? At least I think you''re pretty......if you doubt it so much, I will see your face again for confirmation. Lets see? Huh?" Craft When I look into her face smiling, Meri covers her fuzzy expression with both hands. ¡°I, I understand.....garaa......go, good......mmou......uhgyaa!" Meri Walking backwards without being able to talk normally, Meri falls down...... the contents inside her skirt is fully visible, but more interesting then that is Meri''s shaking. Damn it, not good......I can not stop laughing! ¡°Buu! Aahaahaa! Hey, look! Meri is so shy!" Craft Meri''s ludicrous appearance is rarely seen. When I turn around to share it with the other bride candidates©¤©¤there were only women who showing demonic expressions. ¡°Hmm? That wasn¡¯t good, was it?" Craft ¡°Hou, is this the most famous rumor? I don''t know how good it is because I don''t wear any underwear" Musashi ¡°Ni, Nii-sama is pleased to see Meri''s underwear......uu.......Nii-sama likes underwear......" Leona You are wrong, Leona! You heard the entire conversation so why are you making that sort of conclusion! ¡°Nii-san,we are in class now, right? It is not the time to flirt with the candidates." Efrika ¡°I did a sample of my tasting before, and missed out. Forgive me!" Craft As I try to solve Leona¡¯s misunderstand, the two people to the right and left of me give me a solid glare with a frightening expression. Damn, there are no excuses for me...huh. The tension from seeing a cute Meri is dampening. ¡°Uu¡­...shit......for everyone, I have to push more......" Meri Meri got up while stroking her rich butt, she murmured something romantically. But now, I have no energy to question it. ¡°......Haa, let''s finish the remaining two meals" Craft I switch the topic and try to continue with the remaining meals. Either Kaitos or Musashi made a landmine-grade dish that will bring about our deaths. ¡°Well then, we will have the remaining two people show their dishes, at the same time. Thats the special rule this time" Craft In the worst case, I could herald at the moment I uttered either dish. In order not to do so, I have to first identify the culprit by appearance...... ¡°Muu, two people at the same time? You know, that''s a good decision" Musashi ¡°You can especially taste my masterpiece!" Kaitos Finally the remaining two come carrying meals with bragging face. Incidentally, the other four felt the danger and left one by one. Isn''t that too exaggerated? At this moment a little cold emotion seemed to bud, and the theme of destruction surrounds Kaitos and Musashi. ¡°Craft-dono, this is my first time cooking! If you eat this, you will definitely want to choose me as your bride! I am prepared for it!" Musashi It is so ordinary that it seems to be delicious, because it''s still ordinary grilled fish and garnish. The quantity is overwhelmingly unsatisfactory, but there are problems. Then, what remains...... ¡°I have kept you waiting, Craft. This is the delicacy I made, enjoy. " Kaitos The first thing I hear is an unpleasant sound, as Kaitos places her plate. It turns into a whirling bubbling sound and in the large plate is pure black, bubbling liquid. Mysterious creatures are wringing around and occasionally jumping and sinking repeatedly. Well then, there is no doubt. The disaster you see¡­...Kaitos is the culprit. ¡°Hey, Kaitos! Did you create this disaster!" Craft ¡°Naa! It''s a misunderstanding, Craft! I haven''t done anything!" Kaitos ¡°Everyone says that! What do you want me to do? The cooking room has been massacred!¡± Craft Finally I got stuck and started talking with my face towards Kaitos. ¡°Wa, wait a moment......fighting is not good¡± Musashi Musashi broke into our conversation. Her attitude and expression¡­...hey hey hey? ¡°That, Craft-dono. I chopped the cooking table and burned it......it is my fault" Musashi ¡°What? Musashi, did you really do this?" Craft When I turn my eyes towards Efrika as if to confirm it, everyone breathes out and nods. ¡°To cut the ingredients, I used this sword and to bake the ingredients, my magic is useful. That''s what I thought¡­...damn, I regret it¡± Musashi ¡°It''s not just regrettable! Why did you cut the ingredients with your katana? The katana is the soul of a Samurai!¡± Craft ¡°Wait, Craft. Don''t forget to apologize to me. I am deeply hurt by your unconsidered words" Kaitos ¡°Shut up! You may not have caused the mess but cause of this foul odor is you! Both are bad!" Craft I moved Kaitos dish aside and take Musashi¡äs dish first, because it looks relatively safe. With a low growl, Kaitos starts to intimidate me, but if I care, I lose. ¡°If you have anything like grilled fish, you won''t fail. It''s the first-level of edible" Craft When I take the grilled fish stuck on a skewer, I bite into its belly and eat it with the bone. I can''t use chopsticks, so I have no choice but to do this¡­...? Hmm? ¡°......Naa, Musashi? This was cut with a katana......and you baked it with your flame? " Craft ¡°Indeed! I failed a few times and ruined the cooking table, but this is the only successful dish" Musashi ¡°No, I don''t care about the cooking table, but......what about the seasoning?" Craft ¡°Muu? Seasoning? What is seasoning?" Musashi It is no wonder that the taste of the fish is strong. And only the outside is burnt, the inside is still doughy. ¡°Uoee. The firmness......is fishy! What''s this fish name......?" Craft ¡°If I¡äm not wrong, I think it is Shirashirakansu" Musashi ¡°Ah that''s right. It''s not a fish from the fish tank, but one taken from the exhibition tank at the window" Musashi ¡°What! That wasn''t a fish supposed to be used as an ingredient!" Craft ¡°Oeee!! You''re a stupid samurai who eats whatever you like! Did you do this to get your revenge for what happened this morning!¡± Craft I gaze at Masashi while vomiting gently atop the dish. If she reflects a bit and says sorry I will forgive her...... ¡°A, uu¡­¡­.yes! This is my weapon! I will win our match tomorrow!¡± Musashi Unfortunately, Musashi''s action were just an excuse. This is already a pain in my eyes©¤©¤ ¡°......Even if it is a joke, you should be prepared, Musashi? I''m really mad at you, right now¡± Craft I regret that I sold the quarrel with a half resolution. However I won''t allow her to cry. ¡°You okay, Nii-sama? Shall I bring you some medicine?" Leona ¡°Leona, medicine will be good later. Anyway, after this, I''m eating a dish more horrible than death" Craft ¡°What are you saying, Craft! I made it with all my effort!" Kaitos The tears that are just overflowing in her eyes are accumulated and Kaitos shouts with a trembling voice. Hmm......no matter, this time I may have overdone it. ¡°Sorry, Kaitos. Because I love you so much, I want to be mean" Craft ¡°What? Is that true? You''re not lying, are you?" Kaitos ¡°It is natural, isn''t it a precious dish you made? I can tell without eating it" Craft I put my hand on Kaitos¡äs waist and draw her close. The light Kaitos fits in my arms has the same height as me, and I approach her face until the distance is so close that we can touch each other. ¡°Wait quietly. I will......show you a lot of affection later" Craft ¡°Ho, Houwaa!! Na, Nanana!! Cra, Craaft......umyaan¡± Kaitos Kaitos¡äs face is dyed red like a cherry blossom and she becomes floppily and strife. Kukuku, I can do this, as long as I try to do it. ¡°Even so, it is too weak for a fastball. I won''t raise the sound at this level" Craft ¡°Nmuuehehe......Kurafft¡± Kaitos Kaitos spins her arms around my neck as if her dream came true. I''m sorry but we¡äre in class now. When I tried to wipe Kaitos tears away, all the students who had been silently felt as if they were hit by water and suddenly started to make loud noises. ¡°Wa, wait! What do you mean by what you just said? I ask for an explanation!" Venu ¡°NiNii, Nii-samaa......Kaitos-chan......Hawawa!! The game has already been decided......" Leona ¡°Th, this is also a weapon... this confuses me......? Is that so?" Musashi ¡°After all, it is useless as it is now......uguu, my chest feels weird......" Meri ¡°Nii-saaAAAAAAAAAANnnn!! Uaaa!! Aaaahh!¡± Efrika All bride candidates surrounding us, complain rapidly. ¡°Hey. I want to make a fuss over here. Look at this dish" Efrika To Efrika¡äs annoying cry, I take the dish made by Kaitos. ¡°From the look and smell©¤©¤Kaitos¡äs dish is the worst¡± Efrika ¡°Munyaa......Craft......we......forever" Kaitos I gently stroke Kaito''s head, who had fallen asleep on the floor, before turning again to the dishes I received. Bizarre creatures wander inside, the garbage-like smell, and the jet black ink. A decent nerve makes it impossible to speak very well. But, strangely enough, I©¤©¤ ¡°Well then, I wonder if......zuzuu" Craft For the bride candidates here, I felt that I could do anything. ¡°Garii............gorii......winpipii......baribarii......jakonn, kyururu" ¡°How horrible......I can not imagine these sounds coming out of a dish" ¡°Bu, Bu, bucket! I bring you a bucket!" Leona ¡°Nu, gokuu......there''s no need for that, Leona" Craft Finish chewing and swallow. Just a mouthful and everything was clear. There''s so much love in this dish©¤©¤that the taste is death...... ¡°Gakuu! I''m already.......dead" Craft It is tasteless is enough to die. ¡°Hiiii!! You suddenly vomited blood!" ¡°Mu......Musa, shi¡­¡­.total......100 points......gehoogehoo! Geboaa!¡± Craft My consciousness is about to go away. My foot trembles with sharpness, palpitation and dizziness push all at once. It will be easier if I faint......but that is no good. I need to bring it to a end. ¡°Kaitos......you, total¡­...mi, minus......1000 points¡± Craft I give the lowest rating to Kaitos, who is sleeping. There is nothing to remember about this already. I......I barely hold on the rope that is my consciousness. ¡°Eh? Sensei......? Hey, Craft-sensei! Hold on! You can¡¯t dieee!¡± Meri ¡°Craft-donooo!! You have to be strong!!¡± Musashi My body collapses. Sense of fading. I fall down, while covering the sleeping Kaitos. ¡°Nii-sann!! Aaa!! Oh my God!!¡± Efrika The screaming of my noisy cousin is heard loudly. But, what remained in my ear more than that©¤©¤ ¡°What do you mean......the taste of my......" Kaitos She look so happy under me.....Kaitos¡äs sweet voice. A few hours after the nightmare cooking showdown. I hear that the afternoon class was canceled because I fainted. After that, I was brought to my room in the royal castle for recuperation, but¡­¡­ ¡°My cute sooonnnn! Aaaaah, I was so worried!" King Zefirio ¡°Shut up, damn father. Don''t come into my room without permission" Craft The one that disturbs me in my bed is my annoying father who suddenly appeared. ¡°What......because of the poisonous dish, you have such a filthy mouth......Ooh, it is deplorable!" King Zefirio ¡°With all due respect Beard-san, but this is the usual reaction of Craf." Zenan The number of existences which disturb my rest became two. A troublesome maid appeared. ¡°Hey, Zenan. I''m healed at the sight of your beautiful face" Craft ¡°These are nice words. Let me show you a light dance so that you can heal even more" Zenan ¡°If the trash doesn''t keep silent and move, remove it" Craft ¡°Ahh, Craft-sama is being bullied¡± Zenan Zenin, with an expressionless face, like a doll knows exactly what I mean. I wonder why a woman like her has such a beautiful face. ¡°Th, that¡­....did you forget about me? I''m the king......" King Zefirio My father unsuccessfully tries to inject himself into Zenan and my conversation with an uncomfortable face.What happened to the king, will that presence be lost with this figure? ¡°What, you are still there? Get out of the room" Craft ¡°Why Craft! You haven''t had any skinship with me though you have been in the castle for the past month. Sometimes we have some happy father and son time......" King Zefirio ¡°Absolutely disgusting. If you''re lonely, go to Magwardo''s room, you bearded father.¡± Craft ¡°Uwaaaahh!! Craft, you''re still rebellious!!¡± King Zefirio My father jumps out of my room,shaking the whole castle by closing the door. It is impossible to think of him as the king of a country because of his behavior. ¡°Craft-sama. Even if that bearded man wastefully declared that he is overprotective, and even though his aging odor is bad, he is still your father. Don''t forget that he cares about you, Craft-sama" Zenan ¡°It may be a follow-up, but I can only hear you as if you''re a fool" Craft With that, I put my face on soft''s pillow and rolled over. ¡°Please tell Efrika, Kaitos and Leona that I¡äm fine. I will take a nap" Craft ¡°......To that sow too? Yes, I got it¡± Zenan ¡°Especially Kaitos would be worrying about me. Please encourage him" Craft ¡°Encouraging Kaitos-sama......fuufuufuu. Please leave it to this top counselor" Zenan I feel like I made a wrong decision, but it seems to be interesting. ¡°Ah, and I want to get up earlier than usual tomorrow. Would you come to wake me up?" Craft ¡°This is rare. I''m sure that Dorebanias volcano will erupt, somewhere" Zenan ¡°It''s troublesome, but I promised Musashi a rematch. Well, that''s why I need to prepare¡± Craft She let me drink boiled water. I''ll give you plenty of payback, Musashi...... ¡°It is a nice goose face. You really have grown up......uhuhunohuu" Zenan ¡°Therefore, I''m scared of laughing with only my voice" Craft Whether due to the growth of her former student is pleasant or something else, Zenan seemed to be in a good mood before she left. I wonder if that feeling, it was a long time ago...... ¡°If it is me now that I started spending time with them, I feel like I can understand somehow" I turn off the lights and close my eyelids in the darkened room. I have a bad sleep. Let''s think about the plan of tomorrow until the sleep comes©¤©¤ Volume 1, 5: Samurai Princess and the Ash Covered Princess Volume 1, Chapter 5: Samurai Princess and the Ash Covered Princess ¡°Ah, Nii-san. You are early today¡± Efrika Bremfai Magic Academy, Magical Practice. Before the rematch with Musashi, I started preparing at 6 o''clock, earlier than our appointed time. ¡°You too Efrika. Are you so concerned about my fight with Musashi?" Craft I throw the shovel in my hand away and sit on the bench next to the exercise ground. I had a good exercise in the morning, which might not be such a bad thing sometimes. ¡°That''s it. I won''t ask why you''re already sweaty" Efrika ¡°Wait. Don¡¯t walk through there, walk around it" Craft I redirect Efrika who wanted to walk through the center of the training ground. Efrika had a dubious face but didn''t say anything. ¡°Musashi hasn''t come yet. I thought she would come at the same time as yesterday" Efrika ¡°Come on. I think Musashi will be late today¡± Craft Huwaa, I¡äm tired. I smile with sleepy eyes. ¡°It''s simple. She will mimic the ¡°me¡± from yesterday and plan for a shooting operation" Craft ¡°I wonder if it will be that simple? But, if so, we will have to wait for a while" Efrika It is only me and Efrika now. It¡¯ll be lonely until other students come...... ¡°I''m not bored with you. Once in awhile¡­...talking is nice, right?¡± Craft ¡°Ehh? Nii-san, eh? Eee? Ah, eh? Eeeehh!¡± Efrika Efrika seems to be uncomfortable with my proposal. She confirmed whether it was a dream or not by grabbing her cheeks. ¡°Don''t rush so much. Just sit next to me" Craft ¡°Auu......I, I understand. Sueehhh......I¡¯m moving!¡± Efrika ¡°Well, I''m a beast or something. Okay...then" Craft I strongly pull at Efrika¡äs arm and forced her to sit next to me. I thought that she would raise a scream, but that seemed to be unexpectedly hard thought. ¡°Which reminds me, you......it¡¯s not just Leona¡äs treatment, but also researching medical magic that you continue in the middle of the night, right? There is the bride training class in the morning, therefore it''s impossible for you to get up early......" Craft ¡°Ah, it¡¯s no problem. It is what I like to do......rather than that, aren''t you bored with us? I am a bit worried that Nii-san is bored" Efrika ¡°Hmm, when I listened to the story for the first time, I felt like training the bride candidates......" Craft It is a lot of fun to spend time with my bridal candidates. If these days continue, it wouldn''t be bad to seriously get married to one of the candidates. ¡°Now I enjoy it more than I originally thought. All of this is thanks to you, Efrika" Craft ¡°Eh......what''s wrong, Nii-san? Suddenly such......" Efrika It looks like she didn''t expect to be praised, therefore Efrika has a smirk on her face. ¡°I guess you have to hold me back, I bet you think I was kicking this story. Being a brutal brat forever......not only marriage but also the throne may not have been challenging" Craft However, now it is different. I am interested in gambling with her and I am interested in the bride training study and meeting new people......I feel that I gradually changed relationships with others deepen. A country where everyone can live.....I will be a good king who protects the world. If you think about it, being king isn''t as bad as I thought. If my hesitant father were to hear such words, he would likely faint. ¡°Geez, Nii-san, when did you become so splendid¡± Efrika ¡°Because I¡¯m your¡­. no, I will be your shadow, right? Thanks¡± Craft ¡°Zukkyun!¡± Efrika Even though we only smiled look at each other''s eyes, Efrika great heart was reflected in her eyes. What kind of magic does she use to have such wonderful eyes? ¡°Efrika, are you alright?¡± Craft ¡°Don''t worry, I''m all right! Oh no, my face is hot......¡± Efrika Together with her cute crimson hair tips, Efrika watches me with the face of a maiden, suffering from love. ¡°......He, Hey, Craft-niisan......you¡äre always my elder brother......¡± Efrika Those lavish eyes. They seem so fragile©¤©¤ ¡°Craft-niisama! Efrika-anesama! Good morning!¡± Leona A cute voice resounds in the vast training ground, wrapped in morning mist and silence. In retrospect, it seemed that Leona was coming along this way, swinging both her hands. ¡°That.....Leona? Hey, it is dangerous there, so move around it" Craft ¡°Huu? Huuh! I don''t understand well, but......mumyaa!¡± Leona Although Leona ran lightly, she suddenly fell down because she tried to change direction too quickly. It is a pretty sight that I want to embrace unintentionally, but occasionally she must watch out. ¡°Uooo!! Leooonnnaaa! Elder brother will save you!¡± Craft ¡°Do, do, don¡¯t worry! Ue, buee, nnbuee! The soil is in my mouth......" Leona Leona got up quickly, with a bitter face, spitting out soil from her mouth. ¡°Aaa!! What! Hey Efrika! Treat Leona quickly! Hurry up!" Craft ¡°......You''re exaggerating. She hasn''t even scraped her knees" Efrika Efrika seems amazed at seeing my worried face. She gazed at my shoulders and shook her head while staring between at me and Leona, alternately. ¡°It, it''s okay now! Craft-niisama, Efrika-oneesama, good morning!" Leona Meanwhile, Leona greeted us, while removing the soil from her body. ¡°Aa, good morning. To be able to see your face in the morning, I am the happiest person in the world! " Craft The moment I opened my hands to hold her, Leona hugs me and I can not take it anymore...... ¡°Good morning Leona......huhuhu, you are a very bad child. You took away my opportunity for the first time, as a loser......uhuhuhuhuhuu¡± Efrika Before that, Efrika gets stuck with an expressionless expression like Zenan. ¡°Eh? Ihyuirefuu......hohheofee......" Leona ¡°Hey hey. Don''t tease Leona¡± Craft To rescue Leona I pull her towards me, sit on the bench, and put her on my lap. ¡°Well then, as a reward for getting up early, I will tell a tale from my travels." Craft ¡°Really? I love elder brother¡äs adventure stories!" Leona ¡°Let''s talk about the eight-headed snake Yamata Orochi that I hunted in Isamura, first " Craft I talked about my adventure with Efrika and Leona. Only my voice echoed through the training ground, covered by morning fog. It is eight o''clock, an hour after the promised time for the rematch with Musashi. There was still no sign of that samurai, while I was completely absorbed in talking to Leona. ¡°After avoiding that poison fog attack, I cut off the eighth head!" Craft Body language and hand gestures were also added during the poetic depiction. The effect of such a story was that we were surrounded by the remaining members of the bride training study. ¡°So, what happened then? This is so great! I''m getting excited!" Leona ¡°It, it''s probably a bluff. It''s not easy for humans to beat such a big snake¡­¡­¡± Venu ¡°No, this is an undeniable fact. Evidence wasn¡¯t been left because Craft escaped before cutting off the ninth head. Kuu, if only the neck which we cut off, remained......" Kaitos ¡°Nothing was left behind because that big lizard ate all of it" Craft Apart from Musashi who had yet to come, everyone else has gathered. It was troublesome to notify everyone to detour around the center of the training ground. ¡°Well, that''s all I have to say. Go on, scatter!¡± Craft Rising from the bench, I was busy moving my back and shoulders. This morning due to unfamiliar movements I got tired, while the others moved a bit away. ¡°Nana, Craft-sensei. Will Musashi really come?¡± Meri ¡°She will come. However, a tactical operation was carried out yesterday......¡± Craft Musashi''s victory is infinitely thin. Well, we don''t know until the end. ¡°At least that''s what I would do......" Craft ¡°Muu, this odour¡­¡­Craft, it seems like she has come!" Kaitos With Kaitos¡äs words, everyone focused at the front of the training ground. Who appears there is a samurai dressed in armor, carrying two katanas well beyond the length of her body. ¡°Have I kept you waiting! Craft-dono, let''s have a fair match!" Musashi ¡°I think that there is no excitement when coming late. However, there is one thing I want to advise you on" Craft Without taking out Dante, I went near Musashi, completely at leisure and compromise. After one, two, three-steps¡­¡­that''s enough. ¡°No questions! My mind has been strengthened and my feet are 100% fit¡± Musashi ¡°I didn''t sit down just now. I was talking with the others to kill time so I am full of energy" Craft ¡°..................Eh? Is that so?¡± Musashi ¡°That¡¯s natural, you idiot. Do you think the teasing strategy will work for everyone who uses it?¡± Craft Ah, Musashi froze with a miserable face. I think that''s cute, but I don''t care anymore. ¡°Kuu, you have plotted against me, again! You coward!¡± Musashi ¡°No No, you tried to put a cowardly operation into practice¡± Craft ¡°I don''t want to hear it! Yes, I only have to beat you to be at the top!" Musashi Musashi pulls her katanas out of the sheaths and held both of them up and down. Right-hand sky high left hand on the ground. It seems to be a strange stance, but...... there are no gaps. ¡°Reach is long and it is difficult for both parties to get in touch with each other¡± While calmly analyzing, I walk backward. To catch up with me, Musashi also slowly moves her short legs...... ¡°How regretful, Musashi. With this its checkmate for today¡± Craft ¡°Huh, nonsense......! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttt!!!!¡± Musashi Musashi who was supposed to have been moving with her kimono suddenly disappears from our sight. ¡°Well, it''s better to fall than to disappear" Craft ¡°Wh, What happened? Where the hell is Musashi-san?¡± Venu ¡°Take a closer look, Venu. There is a big hole there, right?" Craft Near the center of the training ground, a huge pitfall was prepared for Musashi to step into. Musashi was caught so that it was a huge success. ¡°Uwaa, so deep! How long did you dig?" ¡°Well, I kept digging for about two hours after getting up early......so I think that it is quite deep" Craft ¡°......It was because of this that you said that we shouldn''t go through the center of the training ground?" ¡°Yes. It is a position that will definitely catch you if you walk normally. This exquisite calculation is great" Craft I was lucky to have avoided it earlier, as well as leading her into the pitfall. In the worst case, I would have fought Musashi fair and square. ¡°It was refreshing. Okay, today is laundry class. Everybody move to the washing room¡± Craft ¡°Eh? Craft-sensei, will we leave Musashi behind?¡± Meri ¡°About this, she can come back by herself. Stop showing pity" Craft I head to the washroom from the training ground so that I lead the way for the candidates. Meri seemed to care about Musashi until the end, so she seems to have decided to look at Musashi before coming along with us. ¡°Please, come up quickly, Musashi! We will wait for you!" Meri After issuing a voice into the hole, Meri starts running. Her appearance is *bounce bounce*......which is wonderful for a man. ¡°Gugigi......Meri-san. Why don''t you try to be more chaste? Vulgar!" Venu Venu, the flat-chest chief representative, begins to speak disgracefully about Meri¡äs huge chest. But I saw it as a good opportunity because Efrika went on to participate with a bad look from the bottom of her heart. ¡°Is that so? Using women''s weapons isn''t bad, Venu" Efrika ¡°It is Venusera! Aaah! How many times do I need to tell you!" Venu ¡°I don''t want to understand. Is Venu not enough? My older brother is calling you so" Efrika ¡°Mukiiii!! 301 points and then being cheeky!" Venu ¡°Aw, Awful......you are the one who is arrogant! It was only a single result!" Efrika ¡°Nihihii. Nanaa, Craft-sensei. After all, this class......I don''t get bored" Meri Meri is laughing happily, whether Efrika and Venu¡äs interaction is interesting. If you are watching such a smile, you will smile too. ¡ä¡±Isn''t that natural? Nevertheless, everyone......" Craft No one in this group will mediate as a man. All five people are for me©¤©¤ ¡°is the best bride candidate¡± Craft The laundry washroom is located just in the middle of Bremfai science and magic school building and the school dormitory. This cabinet with a laundry basket, washing board, various kinds of detergent and so on is the place where waiters and collegians do laundry mainly and in such a place there are no opportunities for royalty and nobility to do this work. ¡°How many times shall I tell you? Washing with detergent, it''s basically the basis!" Craft ¡°Muu, I am not good with this bubbly foam. Why is it in my hands?" Kaitos In that kind of place, we were all doing basic washing......doing the laundry. ¡°Kaitos, make a little progress. In any case, you can wash the dishes like a child" Craft ¡°......Understood. If Craft wants it, I try to wash the detergent as much as possible" Kaitos ¡°You shouldn''t try it. Haaa, I want you to do it yourself" Craft Based on the previous mistake, this time we have a team practice. ¡°This is troublesome if the number is so much. If I do this with water magic......huhuhu, I will wash it automatically" Efrika ¡°Nuku, the inside of the tub is swirling. Around......around. Mu, I feel dizzy¡± Kaitos ¡°Huu, it would also be quick to dry it faster with wind magic¡­¡­¡± Efrika ¡°Leave the wind magic to me! My breath calls a tornado! Haaaaaa!!" Kaitos ¡°Stop Kaitos! If you make it so strong......aaahh! The clothes are torn!" Efrika On team A is Efrika and Kaitos. ¡°Ooohoohoohoohoo! I think it was the right thing to get a washer and dryer from my country! Baretoria is Rusanas scientific power!¡± Venu ¡°What is this big box? It is hard¡­...uwawaa! The inside is hollow!" Meri ¡°Automatic washing can be done with this machine! Well, where is the hole in the outlet?¡± Venu ¡°......How about this? What is this thing?" Meri ¡°Eh¡­¡­? No, I don''t know the outlet, it is fine......u, uwaaaaa!!!" Venu And team B is Meri and Venu. ¡°......Good, the teams seem to be working well. No matter what they say" Craft The prepared laundry is either ragged or placed in a huge machine without knowing how it works......yeah, I have not seen anything. ¡°Leona! Is there an electric outlet in Dibair?" Venu ¡°Hoe? Electric outlet......what is that?" Leona ¡°Naahaahaahaa! What, you don''t even know that Leona?" Meri ¡°The washing is done, on my own! Eat my breath!" Kaitos ¡°Stop Kaitos! To change the tattered laundry......nooooo!!¡± Efrika Looking at the teams in the riots sideways, I titled my head......then someone tapped on my back. Turning around, Musashi who looked like a dead silasilacans looked up at me. ¡°Emm, Why am I alone?" Musashi ¡°Aaah? If you have time to talk back, then fold the laundry properly" Craft The only team C''s Musashi has a possibility of destroying the washroom so I instructed it with a cutout. As I talked about real intention, I was just late for coix, so I just got hit by the number of people. ¡°Uu......this is a death treatment. Craft-sensei must be an incarnated demon" Musashi ¡°You exaggerate. It''s not so bad than to die in that pitfall" Craft ¡°In spite of that, Craft-dono is a bad person. Your personality is twisted. Mumuu, clothes are too hard to fold......kuuuu, eeeii!" Musashi Folding the tattered clothes, Musashi mumbles frustrated. ¡°Is your second defeat not enough yet? The next step is to hit you without saying it''s a match. If you want to win, don''t give your opponent time to prepare" Craft ¡°But it''s my samurai path. No......such an idea is caught up in defeat. But how much is it worth to win like that...... " Musashi ¡°It''s a million times better than losing. I''m going to do my own effort to stick to victory " Craft The aesthetic of the fight that we have cultivated has collapsed, so I gently stroke the head of Musashi who is depressed. I was worried that she would be covered with soil from the pitfall just before, but she is fine. ¡°Cr, Craft-dono? Is this a play or is it an art of war?" Musashi ¡°It''s not an art of war. I''m just doing it because I want to do it." Craft ¡°Well, then! Please don¡¯t treat me like a child! Even my father didn''t do such a thing......, never......never in my life" Musashi Is there a resistance to being pampered, why Musashi shakes her head and remove my hand. The gap between her usual appearance is tempting......and she said something strange right now. ¡°Have you ever had a father who doesn''t spoil his daughter?¡± Craft ¡°My father is a general who governs Isamura. No matter how much he wants to meet his daughter, an opportunity......." Musashi Stopping her hands which were folding the clothes, Musashi started talking about her life briefly. ¡°Since I was born, I have met my father a countable amount of times" Musashi ¡°Enough to count......?¡± Craft ¡°The last time I talked with him before......when I received a letter. Since then, my father couldn''t see me anymore. Even when I said I''m not a woman anymore and became a samurai......nothing" Musashi Hey, she is lying, right? No matter how much, such a parent...... ¡°I mean............ I believe in my father''s last words and trained myself. Becoming strong, only as long as I win against Dibair¡äs prince, hoping for it......" Musashi A lot of the wrinkled laundry that does not have its original shape is further disturbed by Musashi¡¯s hands. In addition, the clothes that had dried up were poppy......cold drops were dripping. ¡°However, the results are as you can see. It seems that all of the samurai words and sword arts that you learned by force have ended in vain......merciful, tears stopped......higuu, zuzuu" Musashi Was there such a situation in that little unnatural tone? Even if you are making efforts, a princess is a princess. Neither her body nor her mind is made for being a samurai. ¡°Hey, Musashi. Turn this way" Craft ¡°No, now......you want to see my face......obumuaa!!" Musashi I throw a towel taken out of the laundry basket into the face of Musashi which was wet with tears and a running nose. ¡°Mogomogaaa. Wh, What are you doing! Rude person!" Musashi ¡°Please use it. No matter who I am, I don¡¯t want a woman to cry in front of me" Craft ¡°Craft, dono......?¡± Musashi ¡°I understand your story. It was a tough time" Craft Taking back the towel that Musashi holds in her hands, I wipe Musashi¡¯s face again. Slowly and gentle like taking off the soil and mud attached from the pitfall just before©¤©¤ ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Someday, I will absolutely make sure you can see your father." Craft ¡°That......how do you intend to do it? It''s not so easy with my father......¡± Musashi ¡°Come on. I will think carefully from now. Musashi, have you stopped your samurai tone already?" Craft ¡°I was......! This, this, I¡äm a samurai! That¡¯s my tone!" Musashi I finally realized that the wording was blurred and Musashi has a bright red face. ¡°Fr, from now on I won¡¯t show anything like this anymore!" Musashi ¡°Either one, it''s okay. You''re a princess and a samurai. They''re both Musashi¡± Craft ¡°Eh...? Both, Musashi?¡± Musashi ¡°You overthink too much on the surface. The tone, the fight, is your father''s thing. Let''s see the other side more" Craft What is right and wrong is vastly different depending on the person. Looking at things only from one direction......you never find the answer you desire. ¡°That''s why I''m here. You... Musashi. I''ll raise you firmly" Craft ¡°Uu......Craft-dono. I¡­...I have decided!¡± Musashi Musashi spreads her eyes open widely with her fist gripped against the chest of her armor. ¡°My name is Musashi. Past is past! Only now, I believe in the path of my own choosing and stick to it!¡± Musashi She says words of belief hitting people''s chest, but I think that'' s true. Musashi has a nice face. Nothing like before......but there is no comparison. With this straight heart, Musashi will become even stronger. ¡°All right, Musashi. You could have answered it yourself¡± Craft I am pleased that the student has understood and I stretch out my hand to Musashi¡äs head. ¡°S, So! Stop stroking my head......not good......goza......gunyu" Musashi ¡°Kuku, If you want me to stop, you need to win. I''ll listen to what you say when I lost" Craft ¡°Guuu......in, in that case! I will definitely win Craft-dono! And when I win, I win as a woman©¤©¤¡± Musashi ¡°Yes, that''s the spirit. I''m expecting you.....da, danger!" Craft When praising Musashi, suddenly my face was seen and a washing board flew. I quickly avoided it......and the washing board went past my head and pierced the wall. ¡°Muu, I''m sorry. It seems that the detergent foam has slipped from my hand" Kaitos ¡°Kaiiitttoosss!! Do you intend to injure me again!" Craft ¡°I¡äm sorry, Nii-san. I stop promptly......however, it''s also my own fault a little¡± Efrika ¡°Naahaahaa! It has been avoided! Incredible, I have to try it too?" Meri ¡°Hou? You''re good. If you want to be taught in person, you can say that from the beginning" Venu Leaving Musashi alone who has a half-open mouth, I rush towards team A. ¡°What the hell! Are you fucking kidding me, Kaitos! I thought you were going to do the laundry!¡± Craft ¡°Would this smell better? More than just a detergent, using these Arai bear intestines......" Kaitos ¡°Uuu......I become dizzy from this awful smell......Auaa......¡± Leona ¡°A, are you alright Leona?, Awaa, Leona is fainting!¡± ¡°Hey, Kaitos-chan! Don''t disturb us because you are disadvantaged?¡± Efrika Team B also joined in, while the quarrel is intensifying...... ¡°......He is a strange person. Just staying by Craft-dono¡äs side, in this way......" Musashi The words Musashi murmured behind me aren''t heard well, because of the voices of the other candidates. However, there is a place where only a part can be heard. ¡°Huhuu, besides the fight......it''s a fun thing to do" Musashi I slowly looked back, but Musashi seemed to be absorbed in washing again. Am I mistaken for now? Or is it really...... ¡°What''s the matter, Craft? You have a bad face" Kaitos ¡°I wonder if this can be done without laughing. Just concentrate on the practice¡± Craft Kaitos looked into my face which seems dubious and returned back to class. ¡°Come on! Let''s finish quickly and eat delicious meals at lunch break!" Meri ¡°Yes. And of course, our Team B wins!¡± Venu ¡°Huh, don''t joke around. I''ll tell you that it is a bit different from yesterday" Kaitos ¡°Kaitos. If you have time to talk, I''d like you to listen to me properly" Efrika ¡°I also want to mingle with everyone! Venusera-dono, Efrika-dono, I¡äm sorry!" Musashi ¡°Ah! What are you doing without permission! Aaaa! There is a real mess of patterned clothes!" Venu ¡°Mou, why did you get in the way......ah, with this the match is back to the starting point¡± Efrika The washing room reflected in my glance is severely flooded by foam. But in that tragic sight©¤©¤a dazzling smile. ¡°It will end up like this after all......kukukuu, good¡± Craft Today''s lunch must be fun more than usual. As a result of team division, the washing showdown became somewhat better than yesterday. The result is that Team B won. There is no doubt that it was their victory if Musashi didn''t get in the way. ¡°Both teams worked very hard. I didn''t think that it would be a fierce battle and become a washing showdown" Craft Everyone ate lunch break together and took a meal in the dining room and now everyone is preparing for the class in the afternoon. Because we are planning classes at the training ground, we are all together. ¡°Ooohoohoohoohoo!! Are you still sad that you lost, Mrs 301 points?¡± Kaitos ¡°Igigii......you still say that! I lost because of you, Kaitos!¡± Efrika ¡°Don''t make excuses Efrika. I guess Kaitos tried his best" ¡°That ''s right Efrika. Besides, we could have won if I did exactly what you told" Kaitos ¡°That''s not the case! Oh, my God! I lost two days in a row!¡± Efrika In the middle of that disgraceful quarrel, we all finally arrived at the training ground. ¡°What? This isn''t the training ground where Musashi-san is defeated always" Leona ¡°Uu, Leona-dono. Can you stop talking about that?" Musashi ¡°What I''d like to do is a bit of a special battle training. It''s a much easier training than swinging swords or suddenly releasing magic" Craft I confirmed that everyone was lined up side by side beautifully, I took out tools from the tool warehouse. Sole, heavily heavy, in a locked black box, is a dangerous thing to handle©¤©¤ ¡°He, here, this is a gun! It is a genuine gun that smells like iron and smoke!" Venu ¡°You knew it before I opened it, Venu. That''s right, today''s lesson is a combat and shooting training to protect yourself. I''m tired of doing housework and sometimes such a breather is good, right?¡± Craft I open the box placed on the ground with a key and slowly open the lid. There were several types of guns, from small pistols to large caliber rotary pistols. ¡°Hey, you can take the one you like one by one. The bullets are for exercises, but it seems that it hurts when you get hit. Even if you make a mistake, don''t shoot at people. Are you sure you don''t shoot?" Craft ¡°Guns......? I''m not sure if it''s good or bad¡± Leona ¡°Don''t get used to it, but keep it small. Leona, I''ll give you one, too" Craft ¡°Yes! Wow, this gun is somehow cute!" Leona ¡°Hee, you have a derringer, aren''t you? Huhuu, it suits Leona" Venu Venu looks at Leona who is happy to have a small pistol in her hand with gentle eyes. Venu seems to be in a considerably good mood because it is the favorite gun class. ¡°Oh, I take this one! I like the birds paint on it" Musashi ¡°That gun is a kind of Magnum, the name is Desert Wyvern. You need a lot of power to shoot it with one hand, but if you have brute force you won''t have any problem" Venu ¡°Then Venu. What is this gun that I chose?" Meri ¡°It is Venusera! It''s a Colt Dragon, a rotary pistol. It is said that it seems like a dragon''s breath because it shoots a small but large-diameter bullet powerfully" Venu Excitable all bride candidates ask questions to Venu who has a great gun knowledge. There are many things that I cannot explain, so I think to leave it to Venu right now...¡­ ¡°Hey, Craft-niisan. I''d prefer a magic-controlled gun" Efrika Jealous of Venu¡äs popularity, Efrika opens her mouth with a stupid face. ¡°He, Hey Efrika. You, you can''t read the air a little. Well, Venu......" Craft ¡°Naa, Nanana!! Efrika-san! What the hell are you saying!¡± Venu Heyo, I knew this is going to happen, goddamn. ¡°Didn''t you hear? I said that a magic gun is better" Efrika ¡°You idiot! How dare you in front of a sacred gun, refer to such nonsense!" Venu Large and small. Both chests are pressed against each other while both glare at each other. Well, the size isn''t important to me¡­¡­but I prefer larger ones. ¡°Whats wrong? Nii-san is also using a magic gun. Then, there is nothing wrong" Efrika ¡°Uu! Th, This......!¡± Venu Venu shakes her shoulders from anger. Not good, you can trigger by just seriously as it is! ¡°Stop stop! You both are too stubborn" Craft ¡°......I''m sorry. However, I have not said anything wrong?" Efrika ¡°Sometimes an argument isn''t suitable. Today is normal gun training. Magic guns at another time¡± ¡°I''m not kidding! I don''t want to do any magic gun training anytime!¡± Venu ¡°Don''t say too much selfish. In the first place, it''s just training......" Craft ¡°It''s just training¡­...? Yes, that''s right! You are a magic gun user!" Venu The words that have been blurted out seem to have touched Venu who exclaim a muffled voice. ¡°Th, that''s enough! If you don''t understand, I, I!" Venu ¡°Venu! Where are you going! Come back!¡± Craft Venu who is wholeheartedly out of control runs away. Oh no! I¡äm a big idiot...... ¡°A, Ahahaa......Venu, didn''t she cry?¡± Meri ¡°Yes, it looked like that to me¡± Efrika ¡°Venusera-san......are you okay?¡± Leona ¡°Craft-dono! Are you still a man when you make a girl cry!!¡± Musashi A glimpse of eyes like everyone''s blame is directed to me. I don''t think that it is only my fault......but it makes no difference. It''s my fault. ¡°......I understand. All of you, self-study. I''m going to pick up Venu¡± Craft I thought that I should talk with Venu alone, which was just right. To make a better class, I will solve this problem. ¡°Ah, Nii-san......emm, when I saw Venu just now......¡± Efrika ¡°You don''t even have to say it. I believe that''s the relation" Craft I gently tapped Efrika''s shoulder, then chased after Venu. ¡°Hey, Venu! Damn, where did you go?" Even if you look at it, there is no figure of Venu in the training ground. I think that she hasn''t gone so far in that time...... ¡°Hmm......? Oh, you there. Did a woman wearing a black hood pass through here? " Craft ¡°What do you want? I am a noble of Baretoria, watch how you speak......" Male student I catch a male student who was walking off the training ground. His hair is blond so he is a Baretorian. Then he knows Venu''s face. ¡°Hmm? Aaa! It¡¯s Craft-sama! This was rude of me¡± Male student ¡°Noisy. Just shut up and answer my question. Have you seen her? She''s a beautiful girl with a blond forelock¡± Craft As soon as he noticed that I was the prince, the student changes his attitude blatantly. I myself want to educate him thoroughly in the mountains......but unfortunately there is no such time. ¡°Is that the black hood you mentioned earlier? Yes, I haven''t seen a beautiful blond girl. Instead of......I saw a dirty blond girl" Male student ¡°Tsk. That''s not true. Venus'' blond hair isn''t dirty......" Craft I''m not a Baretorian, but I can see that Venu''s forelock is so beautiful and eye-catching. If he''s not watching, then Venu didn''t pass by here. I try to return around and leave this place, but a word from that male student is left behind. ¡°Venu......? Kukuu, are you sure about that ash covered princess?¡± Male student ¡°Ah? Ash covered princess?¡± Craft When I glared at him, that student continued keeping a kind smile. ¡°Oya, don''t you know prince? That woman......princess Venusera''s miserable past" Male student In a cold voice, he talks as if he didnt think Venu is a human being. ¡°That woman''s existence itself is a stain on us" Male student Stain. Surely what Venu showed before......that sad face is related. ¡°Okay okay. If there''s any secret of her, I''d love to hear from you" Craft ¡°It doesn''t matter. The prince should know the true identity of that woman. That''s......¡± Male student ¡°But, you seem to have misunderstood something, so I will tell you that much. " Craft ¡°Wh, What do you......ga, haaa!!¡± Male student I pulled the male student at the collar of his uniform and lift him up in the air...... ¡°It doesn''t matter whether she keeps any secrets as to what is thought about in her country" Craft I hit the male student¡äs chin before I slammed him into the outer wall of the school building. ¡°She is my precious bride candidate. Don''t talk badly about her in front of me" Craft Baretoria Second Princess¡­¡­Venusera Lloyd Baretoria. A student who carries a heavy title and whose past was about to become apparent now. ¡°Haa.....why does it always become like this?¡± Venu Far away from the training ground at the back of the school garden. This place where thick and big trees grow is one of the most protected areas of nature in Dibair. ¡°By now, you are surely angry......¡± Venu In a dark green place where no person is, Venu was sitting while leaning against a big tree. ¡°......I hate everyone. Magic guns, the Queen, my elder sister...and everyone else" Venu Tightly holding her knees and letting her head hang down. From the back of her eyes which is hidden by her forelock, it is understood that she is trying to endure the overflowing tear. ¡°I hate it. Like my grandmother......what am I supposed to do?" Venu ¡°That''s right. I don''t know you or your grandmother, but now raise your face" Craft ¡°Eh¡­¡­? Kyaaaaaa!!¡± Venu The moment Venu lifts her face, her eyes meet me upside down. ¡°Yo, Venu. I searched quite desperately for you" Craft I am hanging upside down with my feet on the branch and my head towards the ground. So naturally, Venu and my face are close to each other as if they touch. ¡°Wh, Whwhwhy! Why you¡äre here!¡± Venu ¡°Hmm. Well, just some torture......instead of questioning. Look at that" Craft I let go of my feet hung on the branch and twist my upper body while falling down. I landed brilliantly as it is and swallow one of the leaves that soared with the vibration. ¡°This is a Mockinsay leaf. Did you know that the smell alone has a healing effect?¡± Craft ¡°......Hu, huhh. I know about that" Venu When I take the leaf that I held out before my eyes, Venu smells the odor. ¡°Oh......it is really quite calm" Venu ¡°Right? That''s because the whole place is strangely calm¡± Craft ¡°Wa, wait a minute! Why are you sitting next to me?" Venu ¡°It''s okay, Venu. You and I have a relationship¡± Craft ¡°I don''t remember having such a deep relationship with you......uu, not good not good" Venu Did she remembers what happened in front of the toilet, or why does Venu look so pale. ¡°I''m glad you remember. Well, at that time, I didn''t even know what it was" Craft ¡°Th, That''s it......just a little......just a little bit, emm" Venu ¡°Hmm? Just a little bit?¡± Craft ¡°I am grateful. For the things that you taught me with anxiety......" Venu Venu swings her pants and skirt with both feet and blushes as if her face is exploding. she was as good as deceiving me, but as expected, I¡¯ve already realized that, but it seems to have been noticed by fluff. ¡°You don''t need to thank me. Originally, I started not being convinced" Craft Certainly, I did the cooking class to stop Venu''s toilet meal so that she can be integrated into the class. But that is only because I wanted the bride candidates to become friends. ¡°I don''t care about the reason. As a result, I got a friend......I made friends for the first time" Venu ¡°That''s good. They''re all interesting and we''ll get along well¡± Craft ¡°But I''ve lost everything. Efrika-san is disliked......and you guys are already talking about me......zubiii" Venu She was sad from saying it herself and wiped her tears from her face. Hey, are you serious? Paranoia is too much. ¡°Idiot, do you really think we would dislike you? Even Efrika wants to apologize to you" Craft ¡°Eh? But¡­...then why do you want me to be like that?¡± Craft ¡°It''s just jealousy. Look, I''m going tough on her......and I gave you a high rating¡± Craft Because of Efrika, I''m noticing that the recent exchange with Venu here is for the sake of the future. It would be interesting if I loved the guy who bullied Leona in the first meeting. ¡°Th, that''s right......but then is not it the same as being hated after all?" Venu ¡°She does what she usually does and she is a good guy, so don''t worry about it. Maybe, but I think you''re a rival and you also have a sense of rivalry, right?¡± Craft ¡°My rival? Rival¡­¡­kuhuu, kuhuhuhuhu, I don''t feel bad anymore" Venu Venu takes a small gut pose with full attitude. But, did she reconsider immediately......because her expression sinks again in the dark. ¡°However......when you hear rumors from my country, you won''t be able to say such a thing" Venu ¡°Rumors. It''s a matter of how you receive them, so it''s not easy to say it''s okay" Craft ¡°You already know that, my cursed fate¡­¡­¡± Venu When I nod, Venu keeps her eyes down......and starts talking slowly. ¡°I am a child of a concubine. I was also born without publicizing my existence¡­..." Venu ¡°I heard, your real mother is a commoner and seems to be serving the castle" Craft ¡°Yes, the queen is obviously the legal wife©¤©¤her Majesty the Queen who inherited the throne from my deceased father now, didn''t feel comfortable with me. Ever since my father and mother died of an epidemic......no, always......" Venu To Venu''s words, I cannot say anything. If my father was disliking Leona who is a child of a concubine©¤©¤I didn¡¯t think about that either. ¡°Her Majesty the Queen and the daughter of His Majesty the Queen, the first princess who is my sister didn''t love me as a family and treated me like trash......I was always in the castle" Venu ¡°But was there an understanding person?" Craft ¡°Huhu, you know that. To be sure, I had only one ally¡± Venu Arceras Gisea Baretoria. She is the grandmother of Venu and the mother of the deceased King of Baretoria. ¡°My grandma used to play with me in the castle. She taught me a lot of things like how to handle firearms¡­...and it was like a dream at that moment!¡± Venu ¡°Grandmother? I don''t know mine since I was born¡± Craft ¡°My grandmother is sophisticated, intelligent, thoughtful......she was my idol" Venu The skill and knowledge of shooting that was taught by her prideful grandmother...... are unforgettable. For Venu, it must be an important treasure that can not be replaced by anything. ¡°My grandmother was telling me before she died. Venusera, you mustn''t go outside. It''s going to be hard, but spend your whole life in the castle. I didn''t know when I was a kid, but¡­¡­¡± Venu ¡°Since Arceras-sama died......you know that you got an opportunity" Craft ¡°......There is a shooting tournament held once a year in Baretoria. The Holy Tournament where those who have won the qualifiers in all parts of the country are prepared and gathered together¡± Venu For Baretorians, guns are the foundation of social development. It will be exciting domestically if it becomes a competition competing for that arm. ¡°I''ve never been out of the castle before since I was born¡­...I wanted to participate in the tournament by all means because the people didn''t know about my existence. As long as I win, I can even get results! No one treats me as a person without me, that I should be able to find a place. Trust me¡± Venu ¡°But...Baretoria¡äs Queen did not allow you to participate" Craft To this girl who wants hope, desperation struck ruthlessly. But she never broke. Without knowing that it will trigger further tragedies. ¡°But I couldn''t give up¡­...so I slipped out of the castle and hid my face with a hood and played. I was going to let the world know that I had decided to win the tournament" Venu Alone in the outside world to see for the first time. She wants to find her place. How much resolution was necessary? How much pressure hit Venu? ¡°Huhu, I was confident. I was the best disciple who was taught by the memorable first winner my grandma and there was no one who I can lose regardless of who they are" Venu Venu looks up at the sky with a slightly self-fear. ¡°The use of a gun I learned from Grandma was the best level in the country as expected. In the qualifying, I had an overwhelming point difference and I was going to win the finals smoothly......but my last opponent was my sister¡± Venu Direct confrontation between the first princess of Baretoria and the second princess who survived but still succeeded. Neither the administrative side nor the opposite side cannot miss such a big match. ¡°My sister said to me, "I''ve worked very hard." and honestly, I was feeling up in the heavens. So......I didn''t realize her true meaning" Venu Gradually, the face of Venu who is talking fills the shade of pessimism. ¡°Silly as I have been I was careless and my sister peeled off the hood I was wearing while laughing......and introduced me to the audience" Venu This is my younger sister, Venusera Lloyd Baretoria©¤©¤ ¡°This bad child with dirty blond hair is......she is my sister" Venu The hall might have become confused all at once. The existence of the second princess that they didn''t know until now, created a big tumult. ¡°I didn''t know. Her mother is a devil......I was half-hearted" Venu Whatever the color of her mother''s hair is, the pure blond hair of Baretorians takes on a dark color by Venu. And the beauty of Baretorians©¤©¤ ¡°I''ll show to you all. This ugly figure......" Venu Venu trembling hands are added to the jet black hood. And putting her hood down......she exposed that hair in front of me. What came out...... "This is my identity, the real face of Venusera Lloyd Baretoria" Venu Beautiful golden hair that lasts from her forelock to the top of her crown. And, her hair which enters the gray mesh to the blonde extends from the head to the waist as follows. It is the cause that Venu was called the ash covered princess by the people. ¡°My mother had gray hair, so that''s the effect. It won''t come with a pin, but the head mixed with a different hair color than the Baretorian¡äs blond is bad" Venu Believe it or not, for Baretorians, only the color of their hair is the subject of a judgment of beauty. If you become a royal, your hair¡­...in a word, even if the hurdle to the appearance is high, it is not amusing. ¡°The audience who didn''t support me until then, as well as those who did, laughed at once, laughed, rebelled, abused me. Everyone enlivened me and sent cheers to my sister" Venu ¡°But you didn''t drop your arms? The preparation of Arceras-sama¡± Craft ¡°Yes. But......it was just a slight upset. With ten consecutive strikes that never happens normally, I missed the center only once......" Venu Tears spill from Venu¡äs eyes. She cant hold her shoulder which trembles with disappointment and she cursed her own sense of helplessness. ¡°The moment I took off, the hall was filled with cheers. I was booed when I hit" Venu ¡°......Enough. I understand your feelings Venu" Craft ¡°In the boiling crowd, my sister used a magic gun. As long as there is magic, it hits easily¡­...with the power of that gun, my sister was fine......and she became the winner¡± Venu Was there such a reason for Venu¡¯s complex with magic guns? I don''t want to admit it, but if she hadn''t lost against a magic gun, she would have had a different future. By hating magic guns, she averted her eyes from the painful reality. ¡°Venu, stop it. You don''t have to push yourself" Craft ¡°Such a thing......kku, only......zuzuu, because of my hair......I''m a......¡± Venu I touch Venu¡¯s back hair and combs it with my fingers......in a casual way. Ironically, it was an indignation as if I had made my enemies ahead of my eyes. ¡°Please, Venu. I don''t want to see you hurt. Besides, this hair isn¡¯t ugly" Craft I gently break down Venu¡¯s hair that tangles with my fingers. Although some disorders have remained, it is a million times better than leaving it as it is. ¡°Because, I, I, I......alone, hikku, like an idiot......ueee, seeing my elder sister......uku......I can''t do it......ua, aaaaa......" Venu Finally, Venu couldn''t stand it and ended up crying. Even though I''m nearby so close......what on earth am I doing? ¡°Don''t cry. I''m not good with a crying woman......I don''t know what to do¡± Craft She is different from Efrika and Musashi. I can''t think of what I should do. ¡°Should I wipe away your tears? Or should I encourage you? I will listen to what you say......" Craft ¡°Uuu, zuzuu......shut up, hikku, and hug me......Idiiioootttt¡± Venu ¡°Sorry. That''s right, there is no need for words" Craft When I hold Venu''s shoulder, I put her head against her head. In front of the suffering Venu, I could only do such a thing and I hated my foolishness. ¡°It would be painful. Disliked by the people and don''t admit to the family, you just asked for a home......" Craft ¡°Uuuuu! Uuuuu......aaa!!¡± Venu Not sure where to point her emotions, Venu hit my chest. Painful. Much more than any blow I''ve ever received...it pains my heart. ¡°......Hey, Venu. If you don''t want to answer, don''t mind ignoring me" Craft ¡°Guzuu, zzubiii......wh, what is it?¡± Venu ¡°The reason why you applied for being my bride©¤©¤when I first asked you, you said to make people recognize yourself, but......is that really all of it?" Craft ¡°Ah......I don''t know how to do that. Well, you''re not the enemy¡± Venu Stopping the hand that was hitting me, Venu laughs with a crying face. And straight as she stretched out the index finger of her right hand, I looked towards the shape of a gun. ¡°Huhuu, to tell the truth, I was also interested in yourself. The same as me......a prince rumored for being hated by the people" Venu Her fingers that mimic a gun, Venu come to poke my bare cheeks. I see. Is that the meaning of '' finally finding a companion '' at that time? ¡°Perhaps I may have wanted someone who understands my feelings. Since I lost my grandma, I was alone......" Venu ¡°You thought I was in the same circumstances? Hey, you have overdone it from the first day to that extent" Craft ¡°However! I wanted to talk to you as soon as possible. That is why I was terribly frustrated and did terrible things. Desperately trying to show myself strongly......" Venu Whether she is talking about getting involved with Leona, Venu is disgusted of herself with disdain. My sister doesn''t get angry to that extent. She is the angel of Rusanas. ¡°......There are lots of Baretorians in Dibair who knows me. I was looked at with strange eyes in the dining hall and they laughed......therefore I ran into a toilet as my heart began to break" Venu ¡°That''s where I came in......kukuu......hahahahaha!!¡± Craft ¡°Why are you laughing? Th, There is no delicacy!" Venu ¡°Kukkuku, because it is. Our first meeting is the worst encounter, the next was a misunderstanding, you open your heart to me and became a woman who dislikes magic guns......and now we hug each other like this" Craft Although we spent a little time together, our relationship has definitely moved forward. ¡°It makes me happy and I cannot stop laughing. Aren''t you glad?" Craft ¡°I, I......such......¡± Venu A warm sunlight sewing in between the Mockinsay trees. The beautiful light curtain increases shining like filling the closed Venu¡¯s heart. ¡°That doesn''t mean¡­¡­I¡äm not happy. Such a happy day......is my first time" Venu ¡°I see. Thank you for being honest with me. Well then, next is my turn to answer" Craft ¡°Eh? What......?¡± Venu ¡°I understood the reason why you dislike magic guns. So I think I will let go of this guy" Craft I take out my magic gun from the waist holster and place it as it is. Danthes, it is painful to break up with you......but I hope, you understand? ¡°If I don''t do it, I cannot reward you for your feelings......" Craft Although it is painful to separate, if Venu''s mind clears up even a little by throwing away my magic gun©¤©¤Venu was dismayed for a while to cut out with such bastards though......but as soon as something happens she raised her voice with awareness. ¡°Pl, please don¡¯t misunderstand me!" Venu Venu rose up suddenly, while looking down at me. I cannot see well with the backlight, but I feel that she is angry...... ¡°Surely I don''t like magic guns! B-U-T! People who don''t take care of their partner who they have shared their joy with are much more dislike!" Venu After puffing her body, Venu looks down on Danthes which was put on the ground. ¡°That magic gun......Danthes, it was. It looks like it''s being used, but it''s not dirty and it seems to be maintained properly. You have treated it very carefully, right?¡± Venu ¡°Venu......but is it okay? If that is the case I will be able to use guns?" Craft ¡°Huhh, I''m not as tactless as to separate the two of you! I dislike magic guns, but those who take care of their weapons......, are my type!" Venu Steam came out from the top of her head and Venu wiggles her arms. She really became obedient. If it is her...... ¡°Ahahaa, so or so? I don''t hesitate, to use Danthes in the future!" Craft To respond to my calling, the barrel of Danthes who I picked up flashes. It was good to have done that by my concern and uneasiness that he would be sulky. ¡°You¡¯re a really funny person. When I first met you, I got a strange nickname and made a fool of myself. Now you¡¯re trying to throw away your precious gun©¤©¤¡± Venu ¡°Sorry, at that time I wasn''t calm because Leona was bullied. If so, from now on I will call you Venusera properly......¡± Craft ¡°Even if you change it now, it''s only itching to me! Therefore, I will allow only you to call me Venu! Good, isn''t it!¡± Venu Stuffing up to me, Venu pushes with a desperate look. ¡°I understand. Let¡¯s separate our faces, Venu¡± Craft ¡°Huhuu, I don''t mind. From now on I will also call you......Craft. This makes the condition even, right?¡± Venu ¡°Kukukuu, that''s a nice deal. You¡¯re going to be my favorite bride unexpectedly" Craft ¡°Unexpectedly, it is superfluous. Why don''t you pick me up and try it?¡± Venu Venu says that she has a flat chest and protests with confidence. It''s a challenging attitude to Efrika......funny. I like her more and more. ¡°Good. Shall we get married?¡± Craft ¡°Ooohoohoo! It isn''t a joke¡­¡­¡­¡­? Eh? Now¡­¡­?¡± Venu ¡°You are fine Venu. Let''s get married" Craft ¡°......Hoee? Kekkon?¡± Venu My words aren''t understood and Venu twists her neck with eyes to the point. ¡°Kekkon? Marriage? Bloodstain......?¡± Venu (TL note: Kekkon can mean marriage or bloodstain) ¡°Hey? Venu? Do you hear me? Hello?¡± Craft ¡°...............Marriage?¡± Venu One second, ten seconds, one hundred seconds, and so on. After a long silence¡­...she finally understood the meaning©¤©¤ ¡°Maa, Ma, MaMaMaa! Maaarrriiaagggeee!!" Venu Suddenly, Venu exploded. ¡°Uoaa! Don''t shout out!¡± Craft ¡°Ma, MaMa, marriage is only with mutual consent!¡± Venu What''s wrong with marriage, Venu is running recklessly in a state of panic. ¡°What''s the matter? Whatever the reason, you''re ready to be a bride, right?¡± Craft ¡°Guu! Yes, I¡¯m, but......I can still get in touch with a gentleman¡­¡­¡± Venu When she looks at my face, she quickly looks away, before she sees my face again. ¡°And anyway! I am not happy even if I¡¯m chosen at such a time! No, I''m so glad that I would be dead, so why not......! First of all, if you don''t want to make a mess of my love, the name of the second Princess of Baretoria is gone!" Venu ¡°You are a messenger of love......and you have a great opportunity?" Craft ¡°Th, this......is stealing a march and it''s bad for everyone else if they saw this......" Venu Is this a woman''s pride? Well, it''s difficult. You don''t have to take care of other people until you throw away your own victories. ¡°All right, just do what I say! In the near future, Craft is decided to become impossible to live without me! Oooohoohoohohoo, gohoo, gehogehoo!" Venu ¡°Takuu, you were crying until a while ago¡± Craft I was relieved inwardly while rubbing the back of Venu who wiped the tears out of her eyes. It''s not that I hated marrying Venu. Simply©¤©¤ ¡°Uuu, Where to decide......" Venu ¡°You''re finally back to your likeness. This one''s more interesting¡± Craft Simply......I was glad that I could still continue that class. ¡°Huh. doing it in front of the little girl is interesting, that¡¯s just an awful excuse ¡° ¡°All right, let''s do it because I''ll caress you. You want a hug?¡± Craft ¡°Please don''t treat me as a child......I want to say, but I''m suddenly tired somehow. Ah, do a princess carry¡± Venu A monotone voice without an intonation is raised and Venu comes to me when she is whacked. "Hey, that''s not good. Look, I''ll do it.¡± Craft Because I had no choice, I lifted the light Venu with a princess carry. ¡°Oohhoh! It seems that I can see the regret of that 301 points, Miss, as I return to the training ground" Venu ¡°You as well as she has a bad character. I guess you¡¯re fine after all" Craft ¡°It doesn''t matter what the details are! Hey! Let¡¯s go!!¡± Venu Walking through the garden, we follow the path to the training ground. In the middle of that, Venu in my arms whispered in my ears. ¡°Huhuhuu, Speaking of which, I have one thing to say to you" Venu I cannot hear well with her small voice so I bring my ear closer......it was a devil''s trap. ¡°Kusuu. I seem to have fallen in love with you sincerely. Therefore......yes.¡± Venu ¡°Eh? Howaaaaa!!¡± Craft My ear is caught in something wet. At the moment when I noticed it, it was Venu''s lips©¤©¤ ¡°Uowaaa! Stop it......!¡± Craft ¡°Ooohoohoohoo! With that, I have paid you back!" Venu Although Venu gives a satisfying victory laugh, it seems that she doesn¡¯t understand this situation. ¡°If I learn a lesson from this, I again......Nyubuaa!" Venu Venu falls to the ground with the back of her head as I got upset from her sweet taste of my ear. ¡°U, Uu......Higuu, uwaaaaaah! That''s too much!¡± Venu ¡°If you want to do it, do it at another time......oh, oh, good good. Don¡¯t cry, don''t cry¡± Craft After stroking the head that swells a bit, I hold Venu again. ¡°Hikku...... Never again, will I let you go, a--- ab--- absolute, I won¡¯t allow it, baka, bakaa¡± Like a spoiled child, Venu put her arms around my neck. At the same time as this embarrassed bride candidate, there is me who thinks about something strange carelessly. ¡°Yes, princess. Leave it to me.¡± Craft This might be one of the pleasures of a man...... Efrika¡äs POV ¡°Looks like it worked......Nii-san" Efrika It is several tens of minutes after Craft left the shooting practice ground. I was sitting on the bench at the corner of the shooting ground......and I was watching my older brother. With the staff of Eromael that I used. In this case, even if he is away, my older brother is all round. ¡°Princess Carry......hehehe, I''m not jealous. Yes, I''m not jealous¡± Efrika I was wondering if I ever held in a princess carry by my brother before. ¡°Eh? No, well, um¡­...I feel like there is something, I feel like there is no...... " Efrika Well, it''s okay. There is a possibility that he was holding me in a princess carry secretly while I was sleeping! Yes, I bet it must be so! ¡°Even so¡­...that Venusera fell in love with my brother¡± Efrika Although it is the seed that I sowed myself, it doesn''t mean that Venusera is approaching rapidly my brother. It''s alright. It is not interesting if there is no handicap. ¡°The final victor will be......me¡± Efrika I take my eyes off the cane that is worth seeing and stretch myself heavily on the shaded bench. ¡°Oh my God! I finally hit the target! Naahaahaahaa!" Meri ¡°What! Mumumu......now there is no shoal where I stand!¡± Musashi ¡°I think Musashi-san is different from how she holds the gun in the first place......" Leona When I raise my face, I can hear the voices of Leona and the others from the training ground. Those three are always having fun and I''m envious. ¡°Someday I will be like that......what? Where is Kaitos?" Efrika I looked across the whole training ground, but nowhere is he seen. I wonder if the others who are absorbed in the exercises don''t realize that Kaitos is gone? ¡°Where the hell......?¡± Efrika ¡°I¡äm here, Efrika¡± Kaitos ¡°Hyuunyaa!" Efrika I was surprised to hear the voice from behind suddenly and I jumped off the bench. ¡°Ka, Kaitos! Don¡¯t surprise me so much!" Efrika ¡°What do you say. I was always behind you" Kaitos ¡°Hee? Always? Really......?¡± Efrika ¡°Since you were peeping with your bad hobby" Kaitos Ah, yes. I was looking sneaky when I was worried about my elder brother''s body. ¡°You''re bad for stealing a glance¡± Efrika ¡°Fufu, then let''s say we are mutual" Kaitos Kaitos closes her eyes as soon as she comes and walks in front of the bench. I think that her whole body suddenly emitted light, before her body gradually shrinks...¡­ ¡°Huu, in this state your body is still easier" Efrika What came out was the rest state©¤©¤the figure of a familiar little dragon. All the clothes Kaitos wore have fallen to the ground and that happens all the time when Kaitos shrunk. ¡°Roughly, you look cute¡± Efrika ¡°Muu, I¡äm proud of my growing ability. My tail is growing and the scales have changed, too" Kaitos The short tail is shaken and Kaitos is showing his body. ¡°Uh, I wonder? I feel that it isn''t much different from my memory......" Efrika ¡°Kuu, then listen to Craft. He is looking at my glorious growth closely" Kaitos I am also looking closer......no, let''s stop it. ¡°Anyway, Kaitos, you surely want to participate in my brother''s wife''s choice" Efrika ¡°Hmm, is that such a surprising thing?" Kaitos ¡°No. So far, however, my brother and you are best friends so can you make a romantic relationship?" Efrika I didn''t understand the process of changing from friendship to love. Because I love my brother from the moment I was born in this world, I am dear and want to be with him forever. Therefore I kept thinking. ¡°Kaitos. When did you come to like my brother in the first place?" Efrika ¡°That idiot when......? I don''t mind talking, but first, let''s order it" Kaitos As I go back my memories, Kaitos flaps his wings and moves over to my shoulder. ¡°First of all, I wanted to stay with the last remaining of the Admol dragons......but I kept thinking" Kaitos ¡°First of all, didn''t you tell me that you are the last survivor of the Admol dragons?" Efrika ¡°Yes. My mother, an Admol dragon, died just after my spawning" Kaitos ¡°That''s right. By the way, the reason why the Admol Dragons were extinct is that it is a race which cannot live without the contract with a person. You can evolve better or worse by the people you contracted with" Efrika If they contract with a human with a bad and ugly heart, it will be a prematurely death. However, you can live beautifully long by contracting with a good-hearted person. I heard that the reason why Kaitos family died out©¤©¤we humans were at fault. ¡°So......Kaitos was lucky to have found my brother as soon as you were born¡± Efrika ¡°No. It was after several years since I was born that I met my Craft" Kaitos ¡°Was that so? Then, in the meantime......¡± Efrika ¡°......I was caught. By smugglers from Dibair" Kaitos ¡°Eh......?¡± Efrika Smugglers hunt down the mythical beasts of Kurinos and sell them to the other countries. It''s an internationally notorious criminal group......no way, Kaitos was caught by them. ¡°When I was born, I didn''t know the world, without doubting men......I was caught by bait¡± Kaitos ¡°No way¡­...but if you got caught by those people¡­¡­¡± Efrika ¡°I was put in a cage and forcibly took me to Dibair. And, looking at me who cannot accept the situation, they peeled the skin of my whole body with a smile with no items......" Kaitos ¡°......Why would they do such a terrible thing?¡± Efrika ¡°Oh, come on. They tried to use it as an ornament or to strengthen their armor......¡± Kaitos I agree with him, I was trembling with anger and sadness. The skin of an endangered dragon is rare. I guess there were a lot of people who wanted it, but for such a foolish self, how could they hurt, Kaitos......? ¡°Even if their purpose was what, I who was still young doesn¡¯t have the art of resistance. My skin was peeled off and I was confined in a dark basement......before my recovered skin was peeled off again. Such days continued......¡± Kaitos During Kaitos description, I instinctively hold my mouth with both hands and raise a voice that was like a scream. ¡°The bad hearts of the people gradually began to decay my body and my skin which has been kept stained becomes ugly. In despair my heart is rough......and when I noticed, I was called a monster" Kaitos The voice of Kaitos that I heard through my ear is dark. Resentment of despair with pain, suffering and anger. I can''t believe she''s suffering so much. I can''t believe it. ¡°That''s like a sludge''s rotten flesh and the ferocity of Fang. As a monster, I had a rough temper and they have changed their approach¡­¡­and those guys firmly decided to close the basement" Kaitos Kaitos who became a monster is no longer worth the skin. Also this time since when it passed over anger and spun out. Really......insect bites running. ¡°No food, no light. Deep in the darkness like hell, I waited for death to come. I just want to be comfortable without anyone seeing it" Kaitos ¡°Then how''d you get here now?¡± Efrika ¡°That......that idiot appeared before me" Kaitos Kaitos expression that had talked so far has changed completely and it changes into one filled with happiness. Oh, this is the thing! Finally, it''s the appearance of one of the coolest brother in the continent! ¡°That''s when Kaitos fell in love with Nii-san¡­¡­¡± Efrika ¡°Yes. He contracted with me who turned into a monster......and thus saved my life" Kaitos Indeed. So he decided to live with my brother. ¡°I have always lived in trouble in the past. What I like about that fool is the reason why I owe my past. Or were I just attracted to him?¡± Kaitos ¡°......It was natural that he saved your life" Efrika ¡°Craft always amuses me. There are some things that I like to find interesting, but when I''m around him, I don''t have any nonsense, boring days¡­...because we support us. It''s so hard to forget what happened in the past" Kaitos Yes, that''s right. My elder brother is usually only tough and looks like he is a selfish person......in fact, he only thinks about other people more than anyone else and put himself aside. He became the teacher of the bride training class because it is a thing to enjoy originally, but now he seems to care only to entertain the candidates......I''m really a sucker. ¡°Therefore, I concluded such a trouble to be foolish. There is no change in the fact that I like Craft for whatever reason. Then I would just follow this thought" Kaitos You''re right on your mind, Kaitos. I''m a little envious of you who has only the desire to love my brother. ¡°Thanks for talking to me, Kaitos. But will you tell me more about the story when you made a contract with my elder brother? I''m a little interested¡± Efrika ¡°Contract Day? Fufu, even if I remember now, his words were¡­...I stink too much¡± Kaitos ¡°Eh? What? What did you say to my brother, Kaitos!" Efrika In proportion to critical lines, Kaitos''s mouth is happiness itself. Kaitos keeps going with a gruesome tone while including a sweet breath like a maiden in love in her voice. ¡°That day, when I signed a contract with Craft, I was on my way......" Kaitos Oh no, don¡¯t be obliged and say it soon! Now! Tell me as soon as possible©¤©¤ Craft¡äs POV ¡°Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Craft ¡°Unyaa!!¡± Efrika As soon as I return to the training ground, I hit the back of Efrika who is talking with Kaitos. Efrika jumped up in an unusual reaction, whether she is suddenly surprised. ¡°Come on, don¡¯t skip. Even though Meri and others are exercising seriously" Craft ¡°Nii, NiNiNiiNii-san? Th, That was fast!¡± Efrika ¡°I think that it isn''t so fast, but......Venu revived as you can see, so be assured" Craft In the place where I urged the gaze, Venu tells Meri and the others how to handle guns. ¡°Ooohoohoohoo!! This is the pause after shooting guns!!" Venu ¡°Uhyoo! Wonderfulll! Hey, hey, teach me tooo!¡± ¡°What is the relationship between gun and cotton......shooting is deep inside?" ¡°When the pose is cool, I want to give an artistic point!!" ¡°What! There was such a meaning without good looking!" I apologize obediently and it seems to have finished the reconciliation safely. Well, I''m not angry at all that much originally. They''re all good guys. ¡°Kusuu, it was nice¡± Efrika ¡°Ah. By the way, what happened to Kaitos?" Craft ¡°Kaitos? That reminds me, I have not heard from that before" Efrika I think he was on Efrika¡äs shoulder until a while ago¡­... ¡°I¡äm here, Craft¡± Kaitos ¡°Hmm? Oo, you were in that place, Kaitos......buu!" Craft Looking back at the voice, I was sure that Kaitos was there. However, the problem is his figure©¤©¤human state. What will become of Kaitos of the resting state who didn''t wear anything until a little while ago and suddenly becomes a human? Needless to think, the answer is obvious. ¡°Ka, KaKaKa, Kaitos! You, why are you naked!¡± Craft ¡°Muu? Ah, I forgot to wear my clothes¡± Kaitos A transparent white skin and heavily-upholstered breasts monopolize my view. Dequet after all. And, surprisingly, her waist is slim. What if you''re admired! ¡°Id, idiot! Get dressed quickly! Shithead!" Craft ¡°Fufufu, you¡äre bright red......my bombshell body seems to have been too good for Craft. I hope you''ll enjoy it more" Kaitos ¡°Nii-san! I''ll always give you this body if you tell me!¡± Efrika Kaitos teased me while shaking his waist and Efrika starts to take off her clothes. ¡°Shut up! I may try to escape before!! Kaitos wear this!" Craft I take off my cloak quickly and force it into Kaitos¡äs hands. It''s only a first aid, but at least she''ll be able to hide a lot of dangerous parts. ¡°Sorry Craft. But even so......unlike the cloak I always wear, your mantle smells nice......sniff-sniff, huu" Kaitos ¡°You¡äre sly, Kaitos! Nii-san! Get me some clothes, too! Hey, is that okay?" Efrika This time, clinging to me, Efrika tries to remove her clothes. ¡°You''re going to have to kill me! Join the exercise quickly!" Craft I kick the ass of my cousin and forcibly push her towards the center of the training ground. Efrika was staring at Kaitos with a grudge on her face......but once I urged again, she ran away towards the others. ¡°Hmm, Efrika you''re also troubling. Hey, Craft" Kaitos ¡°Whose fault do you think this is. Tsk, you really seem to like me. ¡°It will be decided. You are my contractor, Craft" Kaitos Whether she is going to say good things, Kaitos lined up beside me with a facial expression. ¡°Kaitos. For some reason now you have a strangely radiant face" Craft ¡°Huu. If Craft thinks so, then it''s okay" Kaitos ¡°......Why are you smirking? If you have the time, you should practice with everyone" Craft Five people are struggling with shooting training over there so that they are friendly. If Kaitos participate too, all bride candidates will work together happily. ¡°That''s right. Besides Craft, that those who entertain me like this are nearby......I am happy. By around that time, there was a world that I didn''t even think about it" Kaitos ¡°Kukuu......oh there is someone other important to you than me?¡± Craft ¡°Yes, I have a lot of friends now. Leona, Zenan, Meri, Musashi, Venusera......after that is Efrika as a bonus. With all of them, it is enough for me" Kaitos Kaitos was alone in the dark without even having a family. Now she is surrounded by a lot of friends......walking in the light. ¡°But not just friends......I will soon have a spouse, Craft" Kaitos ¡°What? Spouse? What do you want me to do?" Craft It is a race that has already been extinct so she can''t search for male Admol Dragons. Or did some survive somewhere in the mountains? Let''s look again next time...¡­ ¡°Gumuu......th, this big idiot! After all, I¡¯ll bite you!" Kaitos ¡°I, hey! Stop it, Kaitos! U, UOawaaaa!" Craft ¡°......GajiGajiGaji¡± Kaitos ¡°Aaa, what is this all about¡± Craft I can''t resist and my head is wet with the saliva of a half-naked woman. God please, let no one see it. ¡°Nooooooooo!! What are you doing to my older brother Kaitos! I don''t like that!!" Efrika ¡°NaNaa, how shameless! Kaitos-san, that man is mine!" Venu ¡°If I am true......like everyone......" Meri ¡°Now is the perfect chance! Be prepared, Craft-dono!" Musashi ¡°Hey, Kaitos-chan! Stop biting while during class!" Leona God help me at least a few seconds. Well, they have guns on their uniforms......isn''t this dangerous? ¡°Ah, Kaitos-san. You''re not going to let him go?¡± Leona ¡°Who is going to go away? I don''t want to say that he forgot the promise at the time" Kaitos ¡°I''ll be by my side until I die. So you''re not alone anymore¡­¡­?¡± Craft ¡°That''s right. With that pledge, you and I are contracted. That''s why I''ve been there for a long time. No matter who you choose to be, you are bound to be with others" Kaitos So be prepared for it. Kaitos continued, so he brought her face closer to my head again. ¡°There is nothing more important for me than the promise at that time. And¡­¡­¡± Kaitos Opening her big mouth with a crap, she bites on my head again¡­...stop Kaitos. ¡°......GajiGajiGaji. Huhu, I''m in a rave estrus period" Kaitos ¡°I thought you''d come any day¡­...I didn''t want to hear it now¡± Craft The scratchy pain on my head and the sound of a gun is heard. ¡°Come on, As I thought, it has become like this¡± Craft Special training bullets are released all together by the bride candidates who are ruled by anger. In the situation without the technique to avoid being restrained by a pretty dragon daughter, I¡­¡­ ¡°Five gunshots...... Leona, you too?" Craft However, I had no choice but to let it happen. Volume 1, 6: Setting each respective feelings Volume 1, Chapter 6: Setting each respective feelings Two weeks have passed since the establishment of the bride training study covered by turbulence. Early in the morning, we headed to Bremfai Magic Academy, where we attended a domestic confrontation called morning class. In the afternoon we sit down together and learn about the culture of each country......and such days continue to repeat every day. Even though at the beginning, the seating arrangement was worrisome, now everyone on good terms is sitting next to each other. It seems that six beautiful girls sitting in a row......can really be exhausting. ¡°No No, it''s not like I''m a pervert." Craft I wake up from my bed while scratching my sleepy eyes. ¡°Well. What kind of lesson will I have today with them?" Craft While kneading the schedule of the day, I changed my clothes and wore my cloak. After that I reached out for the back of Danthes......and noticed someone behind me. ¡°......Zenan, what are you doing there?" Craft ¡°Huuu, you finally noticed. Craft-sama sleeps very deeply." Zenan Zenan puts breakfast on the table and walked ahead of me without making any sound. That fellow, isn¡¯t she like a ghost? ¡°Please don''t pass the lack of your sense of crisis to me. No matter how much it is, it is too cruel." Zenan ¡°Ehh? Is it easy for me to face so much?" Craft ¡°That''s it. The castle people are calling you the Virgin Prince who doesn''t vomit behind your back¡­...¡± Zenan ¡°Super virgin maid. Anyway, what do you want so early in the morning?¡± Craft I pick up the coffee placed on the desk and drink it. The level of taste is entirely different from the ones made by Delrogello...... delicious, as expected of Zenan. ¡°Nothing at all, but the bride training study started two weeks ago. Isn''t it time to decide who your partner is going to be?¡± Zenan ¡°What? The selection period is a month, so I still have time?" Craft Well, it is true that I haven''t decided yet. They are all good people so narrowing down to one person isn''t so easy. ¡°No. It seems you have misunderstood. One month is the period of choosing a bride and wedding ceremony. So, you have to get married in at least two weeks." Zenan Oh, was that so? So soon I get married to someone¡­...? Hey, C''mon! Let''s talk about such an important story beforehand! ¡°......But well, I still have two weeks left to go, right? Then, carefully......¡± Craft ¡°Are you going to decide on the day before the wedding, assuming that you will decide in the last minute of the selection period? Are you stupid? Are you ready in time? Are you stupid?¡± Zenan ¡°Naa! Is it possible to do? I have a lot of ideas!¡± Craft ¡°Please decide it as soon as possible. How about those rumors for example? As a person with similar circumstances, I really want to support you......" Zenan ¡°An example rumor? Ah, that. That rumor is a story of its own, so don''t mind it." Craft It is not my intention, but it is a rumor that people who aren¡¯t familiar with us often spread in the first place. It is a waste of time to do just that. ¡°Is that so. However, there are five candidates......how about approaching one person?" Zenan ¡°Well, they are all excellent......and I was turned down by Venu." Craft ¡°Wavering Craft-sama can''t decide. As expected, I ruined the mood......higiii." Zenan Leaking a groan like a pig, Zenan holds her head. Well, it''s like a nightmare if it''s the guy who will be in charge of preparing the wedding ceremony. ¡°Let''s do this. Craft-sama says the conditions he desires for women and I narrow down with it" Zenan ¡°Oh, you can check whether someone fits my conditions!" Craft Whether she came here to narrow the candidates down or not, it would likely end up based on reference ¡°I''ll give it a shot. First......Cute. This is a must." Craft ¡°Do you think these five people are at the top level?" Zenan ¡°Well, that''s right. I think that they are the most beautiful girls in the world." Craft ¡°......I feel like I''m not the only girl who is abnormal around Craft-sama." Zenan I dare not to retort back in front of her. Because Zenan is staring at me. ¡°Jiii......exciting, exciting!" Zenan ¡°Besides, a bright fellow is good. Like Meri whose mood makes me feel happy all the time. And it''s good to be single-minded, she will keep watching over me forever......like Kaitos." Craft Zenan sends a hot gaze, as a matter of course. I go ahead and eat my breakfast sandwich and describe the conditions I can think of. ¡°Is strength after that? She should have the physical strength to protect herself, but I also want her to have the strength of showing her own will and determination, like Musashi. Besides, kindness to respect someone......like Venu..¡± Craft As I thought, It¡¯s easier to come up with reasonable conditions if you think it out thoroughly. On the other hand, Zenan, who is standing in front of me, quietly listened to my words with a serious expression. ¡°What do you say, Zenan? You set out quite a lot, but it seems you were not able to narrow it down?¡± Craft ¡°A, hii. That''s right, it can''t be narrowed down." Zenan ¡°Hey, hey! Where are you going? Why are you going out of my room!" Craft I widely opened my mouth and pulled on Zenan¡äs shoulder, trying to stop her from leaving. ¡°Jiii......isn''t there anything else? For example, an expressionless but hard-working maid!" Zenan ¡°I''m not particularly interested in that." Craft ¡°Neeee~¡± Zenan ¡°Don''t make a strange voice. But that''s right......there is one more. Craft As I finished that statement, I close my eyes and explore the depths of my heart, showing me a vivid image......flowing red hair. Looking at me and laughing happily, that woman came running to me©¤©¤ ¡°No? No no no! No, nothing! Absolutely not!!" Craft Am I still sleepy? By the way, why did I imagine that guy? ¡°This- I and Ef, Efrika......? That''s it! This is a mistake!" Craft ¡°Huu......well, it seems you are conscious, let''s get into the main subject." Zenan As opposed to me who is upset, Zenan returns back to the topic calmly. Finally, will she choose one out of those five candidates? ¡°Ooo, Zenan! You decide quickly!¡± Craft ¡°What are you saying? You must not rely on others to make such an important decision. By the way, relying on the judge, Leona, is out of the question." Zenan ¡°......That''s right, if I don''t decide myself, it would be pointless.¡± Craft As Zenan says, I can¡¯t rely on others to make this decision. I seriously need to make a decision. ¡°But I''ll help you prepare for the stage. Please give me a week.¡± Zenan ¡°Is it okay? If we decide after a week, it will be one week until the ceremony......" Craft ¡°It is my job to make it possible." Zenan ¡°Is that so? As always, don''t do something bad." Craft Right, I have been relying on Zenan since I was a kid. If she wasn''t here, my troubles would bloom to a hundredfold. ¡°Well then, the woman who can do the job, perfect maid Zenan will be excused." Craft A blessed and self-contained perfect maid takes my dishes after I finished breakfast.......I admit that she is perfect except for sociability and chest size. ¡°Even so, one week left......" Craft Can I truly be able to pick out one of them? Out of these supreme five people, who will make me happy©¤©¤ The evening of the day when I discussed the arrangement and upcoming ceremony to Zenan, was the day that I decided to hold a lesson regarding on the theme of flower arrangement, which was proposed by Leona...¡­ ¡°Well then everyone, please have a look! I''m confident in flower arrangement!" Leona A sample work of flower arrangement was made by Leona who is acting as the instructor on my behalf. The work itself is beautiful and Leona is cute, so I am satisfied...... ¡°Ah, Leona. No matter how you look at it, isn''t it too much?" Craft ¡°Hahe......? Wawaa! Craft-niisama is buried in flowers!¡± Leona ¡°Did you notice now? It''s like a funeral." Craft Leona spends most of her time in the courtyard of Dora castle where different flowers are collected around the world from various countries are presented. To Leona, this is mere child''s play. In a short time, she was able to arrange different works of flowers that grew like jungles surrounding me. ¡°So, Sorry Nii-sama......I was a little too enthusiastic" Leona ¡°I don''t mind. I am glad that Leona has this talent." Craft Sickly Leona grew up energetically and was enjoying life. Such a matter, of course, is happening in reality......and that''s the most important thing for me. ¡°Hey, Nii-san! Don''t just talk with Leona and also take a look at us!" Efrika ¡°That''s right! This game! Whatever happens, I can''t lose!" Venu Jiiinnto, I have to endure my tears when Efrika replied. Even though a couple of them are completely engrossed in sentiment......they are noisy people. ¡°Oohoohoohoo! I''m the one who is going on a date with Craft!¡± Venu ¡°I won''t let you! It is I, who will win this game and will go on a date with my elder brother!¡± Efrika ¡°There is also me! I¡äm also here degozaru!" Musashi ¡°Hey, guys. Even if it''s a date, just in name......in fact it''s just shopping?" Meri The date that Venu mentioned is a reward given to the person who was the best in today''s class. Originally there was the schedule to go out and pick out the props to be used in the class, so when I brought up the story to the candidates......this happened. ¡°Huuhuuhu, I have some knowledge of flower arrangement! Using scissors like this......" Musashi ¡°Oh, Musashi, you won¡¯t cut the flowers with a sword? I was expecting it a little." Efrika ¡°Oh, Efrika-dono! I will show you! Haaa! Deyaaaa!!" Musashi ¡°Uee, this is also a slashing attack......! Why are you talking about unnecessary things, Mrs 301 points!" Venu ¡°Ngiii!! Daakaaraa! I told you to stop calling me that!" Efrika While Musashi rapidly unsheathes her sword to cut the flowers, Efrika and Venu glare at each other while pressing their chest against each other. They don''t get tired of doing it. ¡°Hmm, don''t worry about any flower being delicious. I wonder which should I taste next......" Kaitos ¡°Hey Hey. To eat the flowers, at least one work should be made by you, Kaitos." Craft I escaped from Leona¡äs works that surrounded me and walked up to the candidates who were working. ¡°Efrika and Venu stop, that includes you, Musashi! It¡¯s good that you have muscles, but do it normally!" Craft ¡°What! Craft-dono praised me......ehehehe, I¡äm feeling embarrassed!¡± Musashi Flower arrangement is originally a cultural practice of Isamura. It would be an easy job for Musashi. While watching her work, Musashi''s work has been most beautifully finished and it seems like she is arranging colorful flowers with an exquisite balance. ¡°Do you want to date! Or is it marriage! How many kids do you want!" Musashi ¡°Don''t jump to any conclusions, Musashi-san! It''s not settled yet!" Venu ¡°That''s right! I¡äm not going to lose! Is it a thousand points this time?" Efrika While drawing closer to me, Efrika starts a three-way discussion. Because Musashi and Venu became more aggressive than before, Efrika also competes against the defeat. Why don''t they rely on the judge for the time being......? ¡°Yes, Kaitos-chan. Aah......¡± Leona ¡°Amuu......*chewing*, *Gulp*. Well, this flower is good" Kaitos Ah, my pretty goddess is feeding that pretty lizard girl for some reason. What are you doing Kaitos? Why are you eating flowers so leisurely! ¡°Well, Nii-san! Decide the best one quickly!" Efrika ¡°Craft, please choose wisely!" Venu ¡°Am I the best? That would be good, Craft-dono!" Musashi ¡°U, guu......that''s right. To determine the best......" Kaitos I can''t stand the intense fire of stinging gazes, so I diverted my eyes. Now that I have lost the escape path of Leona and Kaitos, there is only one person I can rely on. ¡°Kuu! That''s hard! My favorite of these is......this work." Craft If she doesn''t have any interest in the training study and lives freely......then there shouldn¡¯t be a problem. ¡°Meri! The flower arrangement that you made is good. Especially this, this place here!" Craft ¡°......Eh? Is my work good? You are not lying to me, right?" Meri ¡°No, well¡­...it''s a subtle thing if you say I lied.¡± Craft Apart from Kaitos, they made such exquisite works, but when it comes to deciding the best one, it will be a difficult task. ¡°But......yes. I think Meri''s work is pretty good." Craft After the flower arrangement lesson started, Meri was unusually silent and immersed in her work. The work that she made was perfect for that concentration©¤©¤I liked it at a glance. Tall green flowers are arranged in a circle, bright-red and pink flowers are born one by one in the center. The theme is unknown, but whenever I see this work...... ¡°I''m feeling settled somehow. Perhaps you expressed Bunna with this?" Craft ¡°Wow! Sensei, incredible! You understood it so well!!" Meri ¡°As you can see, this green flower is a big forest that surrounds a boulder." Craft ¡°What really? If you say so, it sounds like Bunna." Meri ¡°Gokuu. Although it is frustrating, this is Meri-dono¡äs win!" Musashi The candidates who came to peek at the work of Meri are tempted by my words and they all begin to express their impressions. ¡°But what I don''t know are the red and pink flowers in the middle. Peach blossoms seem to be the same as your flower decorations, but the red flowers¡­...what does this represent?" Craft ¡°Ehee, Ehehehee......that......whatever you think it is?¡± Meri While shaking her head, Meri averted her eyes. The same red color as my hair. No way......this is me, isn¡¯t it? ¡°Kuu! This is Meri-san¡äs win! I will win next time!" Venu ¡°I''m looking forward to it, Venu! Your work was interesting too! It''s like a battlefield." Meri ¡°It is Venusera! Well, in Baretoria everything is luxurious and guns are the best!" Venu Yes, that''s right. It''s not flowers, but a line of firearms, its unique and I like it. However, this class is about flower arrangement......Venu. ¡°Alright, time is also good......today''s lesson is over. The winner of the flower arrangement is Meri." Craft ¡°*Munching*......*Gulp*. What! Craft, I haven''t made an arrangement yet!" Kaitos ¡°The one who forgets the purpose of the lesson and is eating flowers is bad. So for today let''s dissolve! Everyone, if you have something to add to your work, you can decorate them in the classroom!" Craft When I clap my hands and tell them, the bride candidates begin to clean up altogether. The petals and tools that are scattered are neatly put on the seat behind each selected work with a satisfied expression. The spectacle of flowers that are being placed on top of the desks is a little meaningless. ¡°Uhhh......alley-oop. Huuu, today I''m really exhausted." Meri ¡°That''s enough for today, Meri. You¡äre very serious today." Craft I finished cleaning up quickly and called out to Meri who was about to return. I was a little worried because the situation was different from usual...... ¡°Se, seriously? Eee? Perhaps, did I look serious?" Meri ¡°Surely, it''s a little different from seriousness......I felt like you didn''t want to lose to the others. You know, you''ve been working silently for a while now." Craft Looking at Venu and Musashi, was Meri really motivated not to lose? If so, it is a pleasure, but......she feels somewhat lonely. In Meri''s case, the standing position was so suited. ¡°......Well, whatever. I will go shopping now, will you come with me?" Craft ¡°Shopping......? Ah, that......I was wondering......" Meri Looking down, Meri murmurs in a low tone as if troubled by something. What? she looks so happy, but I wonder if she hates going out with me. ¡°Meri? If you don''t like it, I''m not forcing you." Craft ¡°Aa......noo! That''s not it! That......I''m so happy!" Meri Meri¡äs shoulder trembles and when she raises her face, she shakes her head left to right. And, as it is, she runs towards the outside of the classroom so as to mislead the awkward atmosphere. ¡°Wait a moment, Sensei! I''m going to get ready!" Meri ¡°He, Hey! Wait for a second, Meri! The story is still......" Craft ¡°I''ll meet you at the front gate! I''m sure Sensei will like it!" Meri *Gacha* *Clank* * Bang*! Meri opens the door, runs against the wall before leaving and closing the door again. ¡°Mumuu? Meri-dono is something wrong?¡± Musashi ¡°It looked like something was strange somehow. she was quite an adult today......" Venu ¡°Is she experiencing stomach pains? Uu, I''m worried." Leona ¡°Don''t worry, Leona. Meri¡äs appetite impressed me really. It''s not an ordinary belly." Efrika It seems that I was not the only one who felt it strange and the other candidates raised their voices, worried about Meri. I''m pleased that they get along well since the first day. ¡°Craft. It smells like trouble......*Sniff Sniff*" Venu ¡°I agree......Venu, why are you smelling my back?" Craft ¡°Somehow......deeidadadadada! Giv, Give uppp!!" Meri The stalk of flowers used for the class is thrust into Venu¡äs nose who was behind me. Oh, you know, beautiful girls can say what they want. It is pathetic. ¡°Nhuhuhuu. Nii-san, isn''t this the best work for today?" Efrika ¡°Yes. The contrast between red and blue that matches Venu''s blond hair......you have a talent for flower arrangement." Craft If I wasn''t a prince, I might have aimed for the world on the path of flower arrangement. ¡°Uuu......the back of my nose.¡± Venu Now, it is okay to indulge in talks with harmony......I can¡¯t let Meri wait. ¡°Leave Meri to me for the time being. I will go shopping and listen to her talk." Craft ¡°Of course, we will let you......if you resolve successfully, you will tell us, right?" Efrika ¡°Of course. You guys are also worried about Meri." Craft Everybody nods quietly and leaves the classroom, as they were relieved to hear it. Until a while ago I was desperate to be elected, but as soon as the lesson is over, everyone is on good terms with each other. It seems that I can build a bond with everyone in some way. ¡°Even if......Meri isn''t doing well, I¡äm going to go crazy." Craft Meri is the [Life of the Party], always giving a bright and cheerful atmosphere, laughing while enjoying classes. Seeing that Meri suffer, is making the others worry©¤©¤ ¡°I have always been saved by her cheerfulness." Craft As the teacher of the bride training study, I just do my best to do what I can. The main gate of the Bremfai Magic Academy is severely guarded. It is a matter of course- it is a place where dozens of students attend, so it is natural but the appearance of robust security guards wandering around in front of the gate is highly stimulating for the girls. Anyway, it''s depressing. And they keep staring at me and I¡¯m still waiting for Meri...... ¡°Every one......I¡¯m sick of them.¡± Craft Many students have come and go to this place, paying attention to me who is waiting at the gate. It''s a story I heard from Derogello......I used to hurt students of Baretoria earlier in the school, and now most of the students are afraid of my existence. Besides, only the students who bad-mouthed Venu were punished, and the victory of Baretoria is close because I¡äm very close with Baretoria¡äs second princess Venu......rumors are enough. I knew Zenan as well, perhaps it is widespread on a considerable scale. ¡°That''s stupid. Our class is not a spectacle." Craft It is irrelevant who is advantageous or which country is victorious. I would like the citizens to admit it- I want my father to acknowledge. That two people who have done so much together are enjoying the bride training. ¡°A guy with a policy marriage mission is already in my class......" Craft ¡°Ah, ahh...Sensei, I made you wait.¡± Meri ¡°Hmm? Ah, Meri. You finally......came?¡± Craft I was called from behind, so I interrupted my monologue and looked back. That''s when she was there, Meri, who I know well©¤©¤ ¡°Nahahaha, I wonder if this looks good. I''m not used to this kind of clothes......¡± Meri Meri is wearing a gorgeous dress with a design that either Efrika or Venu would like to wear and not the highly-expensive ethnic costume that she usually wears. The ruffled, peach-colored dress with a hint of red looked nice, no, beautiful, while at the same time showing a healthy amount of leg when one looked down from the short skirt. Coupled with the emphasized cleavage area that made her breasts look as if they were about to break loose any moment now. Her overall sex-appeal was off the charts. ¡°Se, Sensei......? Is it bad?¡± Meri ¡°Bad? Don¡¯t get me wrong! Rather, It¡¯s the best!" Craft What is with those stockings! An enchanting space is born between the skirt and the stockings, revealing the small boundary of her thighs to her knees! ¡°Eei, intolerable! Can I touch your thighs for just a little?" Craft ¡°Ueeee? Well, it is still a bit too early......" Meri I¡¯m losing my reason to hold back, my arms are moving carefully on their own, but Meri crosses her hands in front of her crotch to cover up her secret area. ¡®Chi¡¯, it was already another step......what, what am I doing! ¡°I¡äm......I¡äm not good with ecchi.¡± Meri ¡°......Sorry. It was too erotic. I¡äm really sorry.¡± Craft ¡°E. Eroo? Wow, after all this, is seriously effective......is this okay?" Meri ¡°I don''t mind being able to feel a response......shall we go?" Craft Numerous students of the school turned and looked to our direction, witnessing the moment I tried to touch Meri''s body. I can feel the number of their cold gazes increasing and whispers getting louder, giving us the spotlight and nowhere to run. ¡°I want to return before dark. Now, let''s go." Craft ¡°Nowaaa! Don''t pull me!!¡± Meri I pulled Meri¡äs hand and rushed to Ragwaldo when we left the school gate. I grasped tightly at her hands, Meri seems to be surprised, but I knew that she didn''t dislike it. Meri is like a small cat that follows behind. ¡°Sensei, its is hard for me to move in this dress.¡± Meri ¡°Despite that, you were still able to catch up to me." Craft Because of her short skirt, I can see her big legs as she runs by my side while smiling. Well, well, as each step she makes her chest shakes and her skirt flutters around..... yeah, this is awful. ¡°......Stop running. I''ll walk Meri, at this rate my reason for holding back is in danger." Craft ¡°Naa? I hope not...well, you can keep your hands down.¡± Meri ¡°Ah, okay. Hold on so you don''t stray." Craft Leaving Bremfai and walking for a bit, we arrive at a busy market. The stores in the market, especially in the evening, holds dozens of bargain sales, bringing more people in, doubling the number of shoppers. Therefore, once you get separated from your group, it will be extremely difficult to reunite. ¡°Well then! How about this?" Craft When I said that, I released Meri¡äs arm and entwined it with my arm so that she hugs me. ¡°Hey, what''s up? Are you happy with this? Did you come to like me?" Meri ¡°I''m glad that I originally liked you, but......were you always likes this?" Craft With a strong force, without any resistance, my arm sinks into her huge breasts¡­.. My brain collapse from the feeling of euphoria. I gather a handful of reason to open my mouth. ¡°The dress is good, and this folded arms......it is different from your usual self." Craft ¡°Nhehe......Is that right? I think it''s always like this.¡± Meri ¡°Huuh¡­...I understand. More than that, I''ll get my arm off as soon as we get to the destined shop." Craft I escaped from the unbelievable chest of Meri and pointed to an old store that looks good. A two-story brown brick building. On the wooden signboard is written¡ºRiin¡äs magic tool store¡»......this is the shop and place where I got Virgil and Danthes. ¡°Here? It''s a shabby store." Meri ¡°Don''t speak ill of it. The shopkeeper here is a type who holds a grudge." Craft I pay attention to Meri before I put my hand on the door of the shop. The last time I came here was more than a year ago, but it''s dusty and dirty, and I don''t think I''ll stay long enough. ¡°I will disturb you, Riinn!" Craft Ringing the entrance bell, me and Meri step into the store. As soon as I opened the door, I saw dust in the room, swaying and dancing as the wind entered the store and watching the place where it came from......it seems that there were no customers for a long time. Take it, keep it clean. ¡°Peepee! Ubee, I inhaled some dust......gehoogehoo." Meri ¡°Don''t mess your beautiful clothes. That shit glasses......where has he gone?" Craft No matter where the object originated from, the east, west, north, or south, the store is always flooded with tools from all over the world, making it hard to reach the counter in the back. Ninety percent of the products sold here are gifts, but in reality, there are also bargains like continental heritages hidden within this store. I heard that Efrika got her Eromiel Cane here. ¡°Riinn! Did you hear from Zenan? I came to pick up the item I ordered!" Craft I casually call the name of the shop owner because he is my childhood friend, but there was no response. No way, leaving the shop open, did he go somewhere¡­...? ¡°Buwakkushon! Zubii......hh? Sensei, there is a letter." Meri Meri reached the counter where no one is and found a piece of paper. When I received it, I dropped my gaze intently. ¡°What.....¡¯I haven''t heard that you will bring another person here. I will run away for the time being. By the way, I placed what you ordered under the counter, you should take it for yourself. Also, this shop isn¡¯t boring and I am not the type who can easily hold a grudge¡­¡¯" Craft ¡°Uwaa, she heard everything. She really is a person who holds a grudge.¡± Meri ¡°That idiot. If you have time to write such a letter, show yourself." Craft If I have the opportunity to meet him next time, I will break his glasses. So I made a decision, I pick up the items that I ordered under the counter, it was contained inside a white bag. Inside the bag is a handy tool, a new small cane that can portray colors and a magical hourglass that touches the set time. ¡°The fee¡¯s supposed to be prepaid by Zenan......okay, shopping is done." Craft ¡°That was too fast! Is it really already over?" Meri ¡°Are you dissatisfied? Shall we buy some food on the way......" Craft I put the purchased tools in my cloak and turn to Meri. No shopkeeper, no need to stay in this musty space. It was done sooner than I expected and I proposed whether to stop somewhere before we go home¡­¡­ ¡°The, Then! There is something I want......is it alright?" Meri ¡°Ou. Say anything. I''ll go out with you if you want." Craft ¡°......Uguu, uuuu¡­...that......haa, I''m embarrassed.¡± Meri ¡°It''s not like you''re going to be so hesitant. hey, say it clearly." Craft ¡°If so......I will say, okay? I will tell you......" Meri Meri''s body is shaking while lumping on the ground with her right toe and turning both arms back. At this point, Meri''s gluttonous stomach doesn''t surprise me anymore and I¡äm willing to eat anything...... ¡°Wh, why don''t you make a child with me!" Meri ¡°Alright. What, you want to make a child..................hmm? Make a child?" Craft ¡°Auu......¡± Meri I thought it was a mistake to hear words that wouldn¡ät fit the situation. Judging from Meri¡äs appearance with a red face and tears in the corner of her eyes©¤©¤ ¡°My, My body......as Sensei wants......I can do it." Meri Eh? This attitude makes me feel like she is not joking, right? That means¡­...yes? Is it me that Meri wanted to eat? ¡°Uhh......Meri-san. Do you know how to make a child?" Craft ¡°I, I have no experience, but I know. That''s why I''m gonna be firm!" Meri Wow, this kid is so damn motivated. I''m so happy! ¡°Wait, Wait! What does this mean! I don''t know I¡¯m a little confused at the moment!" Craft ¡°Y, you don''t want to make a child with a person like me, right?" Meri ¡°I want you! But I would rather want a different time and place! Tell me why!" Craft It was Meri who purely enjoyed the bride training lessons from the first meeting until now. She tried challenging herself with tasks given by the country without any distortion, she was delighted whenever she succeeds and laughs with everyone whenever she failed......that was the Meri I know. But suddenly, she wanted to connect with me physically......what is going on? ¡°I don''t know why. But Sensei, please choose me." Meri Meri is slightly taller than me making her mouth close to my ear. Each hot breath she leaks out touches my ear, sending thrills and waves of excitement to my whole body but it didn''t last long. ¡°He, Hey, stop Meri! Even if we do such a thing.I!" Craft ¡°Please teach me Sensei¡­...I, I will do whatever you want." Meri ¡°It''s a fascinating proposal......guu, I can''t betray them!" Craft While being pulled away by reluctance, I managed to get away from Meri. Meri is dragged out from me unexpectedly like her usual stark strength, and©¤©¤ ¡°Kku¡­...I¡äm begging you......Sensei, hikku, please choose me......¡± Meri She was crying. That Meri who is bright as the morning sun and the life of the group who always raised our moral, is crying large drops of tears. ¡°......Sorry, I didn''t mean to make you cry. However, you were acting strangely." Craft ¡°Strange......? Yeah, well......anyway, no matter how hard I try, it''s useless......" Meri ¡°Don''t twist the story. I was surprised because you were different than usual and today you are so cute.¡± Craft I dusted off the counter before leaping on top. I then ask Meri to join me, she quietly accepts my proposal.I have yet to know why she feels depressed, I need to talk to her firmly. ¡°Nssho......ah, Sensei! Don''t peek, my skirt is short." Meri ¡°I''ll still be able to catch a short glimpse even if I don''t want to." Craft Well, I tried to look at it. Yes, it''s a treat. ¡°Muu, Sensei is lewd after all. Even before, you were happy to see what was under my skirt." Meri ¡°That was an accident. Not on purpose." Craft ¡°Really? If I roll up my skirt here now......ataa!" Meri ¡°I want to have a serious conversation. You can play around or tempt me later." Craft ¡°Chee......you are no fun......I''m ready to go......" Meri Keeping both hands on the counter, Meri shakes her skirt back and forth. Childish behavior and a grown-up appearance gap......I ask with a strong heart. ¡°Hey, you aren''t prepared for this. Your face flushed the moment I was about to touch your thighs,......why did you want to suddenly do obscene things with me? No matter how you look at it, you are not ready for it." Craft ¡°Uguu! Th, that''s another......I really can do it always!" Meri Her mouth kept on spewing bullshit but at the same time, the speed of her feet flailing around has increased energetically. From the looks of it, in the depths of her heart, she is hesitating to answer, which is quite understandable. These traits of hers aren''t different from her usual self, but what was that a while ago...? ¡°What are you impatient about? I have yet to decide your chances are still......" Craft ¡°......It started a while ago, when Sensei had chased after Venu during class." Meri Stopping her swinging legs, Meri starts talking while interrupting my words. ¡°Then, there was a rumor that started to circulate that Sensei likes Venu. That rumor, everyone else did not seem to care about it, but It scared me, all the time.¡± Meri ¡°You were scared? Of such a rumor?" Craft ¡°Because I saw it, how close you were to Venu.... at that moment, I just knew that it wasn''t just a rumor." Meri Certainly, ever since that event, anyone can say that the distance between us has gotten shorter. But what about it? Efrika and Kaitos are not worried about it and yet©¤©¤ ¡°Why are you scared of that? The fear that I''m not going to choose you?......" Craft To eat delicious delicacies¡­. that''s what she said on her self-introduction at our first meeting. If so, why not enjoy the class and become serious...... ¡°......Sorry, sensei. I, I just have to marry Sensei by all means." Meri ¡°What you have to do¡­...after all, It¡¯s your goal isn¡¯t it?" Craft ¡°Yes. In order to marry Sensei and raise the national strength of Bunna......I would like you to choose me." Meri I didn''t say it unexpectedly......I had it in mind, there was a possibility, but when you directly hear it from her... it hurts, my chest hurts, something is wrong with me. It was hard for me to believe that Meri, who had purely enjoyed each interaction with us during our bride training lessons, changed to that character. ¡°Hey, Meri? To marry me and to raise the national power of Bunna......you may invade the hometown of Venu, Musashi, and Kaitos. You know that, don''t you?¡± Craft ¡°I know. But still, I¡­...I have to meet everyone''s expectations." Meri ¡°Everyone''s expectation? All the citizens of Bunna?" Craft If so, that I understand. Assuming that Meri who wasn''t earnest at first was being touched by the students of Bunna who attend Bremfai...... ¡°Yes. There are a lot of students from Bunna who are in this country. In fact, they have run away from the country because they dislike it. Venu also said that......in Bunna you also eat insects because it''s a countryside." Meri ¡°Ah, no! There''s a deep reason for Venu to say that! She didn''t have the intention to say bad things......" Craft ¡°Yes, I know. Separately, I don''t mind it. But it''s a different story for others, It''s a known stereotype of people from other countries.." Meri So she is not angry about Venu. Meri begins to continue. ¡°The majority of the students who study here are making fun of students from other countries. Barbarians who only use magic, country-people eating insects......that kind of stamp will last forever." Meri Dibair, Isamura, Baretoria, Bunna, Kuranos. It is only natural that among the five countries, the primitive culture becomes exclusive to the persistent Bunna......it may be inevitable. But direct interaction with each country without the help of Dibair is equal to zero. ¡°........Sorry. I am also not good with insects, did you got hurt at the time of cooking practice?" Craft ¡°It''s fine! I think it''s normal because that''s a typical reaction.¡± Meri I didn''t see anyone from Bunna in the cafeteria before¡­...was it because they don¡¯t interact with students from other countries? ¡°But everyone wants to witness that as a norm. If you can escape the land surrounded by that big forest......there won''t be a countryside in the other countries. You can be normal." Meri ¡°In other words, if you marry me......Bunna invades other countries. Expanding strength with the power of Dibair and going out of the big forest©¤©¤the citizen would be cheering on your political marriage with me." Craft ¡°For that kind of thing, I just have to marry Sensei by all means." Meri With hollow eyes......Meri was staring at me. No, that''s not Meri. Does she only want me to marry her for a political marriage? Does she think that her getting married to me is just a necessary sacrifice for the people? ¡°These clothes were also prepared by people of Bunna. I will seduce Sensei with this." Meri ¡°......They have done a good job so far and I want to praise them. Especially the guy who choose these stockings." Craft ¡°Puu! Naahaahaahaa! Yeah, Sensei is funny!" Meri Meri, who raised her voice and laughed a lot, had tears in her eyes. Is it tears from laughter or from sadness......I don''t know. ¡°Actually¡­...I wanted to meet Sensei in another dress other than this.¡± Meri Meri wipes her tears with the sleeves of her dress before she jumps off the counter. As it is, Meri turned around and advances to the exit......before I response. ¡°Meri, whatever you say......you''re my precious bride candidate." Craft ¡°......Sensei, I......¡± Meri She stops at the front of the door while tightly holding her trembling fist. ¡°Do you really want me to like you, Sensei?" Meri Showing me a painful and sad smile at the end, Meri stepped outside and closed the door. The sound of the bell chimes in the shop and only I remain behind. ¡°You will fall in love with me...... that¡¯s what I decided.¡± Craft I want to chase after her and tell her what was on my mind..... but, my body won''t move. To accept Meri''s desire is equivalent to the act of abandoning the other candidates. But conversely, If I respond to the other candidates... I will be forsaking Meri. So why am I so lost? Not knowing what to do, is this really me? ¡°Shit......what, it¡¯s Dibair¡äs prince.¡± Craft If this is not the way, then what is.... The words Meri spoke off were stuck in my chest. ¡°I hope I can make a choice......" Craft Spitting words that won¡¯t reach anyone''s ears, I remain alone in the darkness. In a lonely world, I couldn''t leave this place......until a single star appears in the night sky. As I stare at the stars in the night sky, I''m just stunned at how narrow I viewed this world. There is only about a fifth of the territory of Rusanas, about 30% of the continent''s landmass. In other words, if you look at this world as a whole then, how much of it is Dibair? ¡°If it''s 1/5 of 3/10......based on that......" Craft ¡°3/50. It''s approximately 1/16, Craft-niisan." Efrika ¡°......Efrika, how long have you been there?" Craft There is a balcony on the top floor of Dora castle. At night, there were no guards on the lookout, so I choose this spot to be on my own. So that I won¡¯t meet anyone. ¡°Just a minute ago. I heard from Zenan that you came back to the castle and head to the balcony without taking dinner." Efrika Efrika, who is leaning against the railing, slowly approach me while raging her shoes. As I noticed, Efrika was wearing a negligee. ¡°So? Did you feel so depressed......have you been swayed by Meri?" Efrika ¡°No. I was shaken.....I was pestered to make a child." Craft ¡°Heh. What, Meri wants to make a child..................? Make a child?" Efrika From her reaction, I suddenly recall, Efrika treating me like a child. ¡°Hu, Huuh......making a child. If it was a situation like that, I would have been a voyeur." Efrika ¡°Only this time I agree with you. It''s hard to explain the history of her past.¡± Craft ¡°Why? Can you explain it to me?" Efrika ¡°Naturally, I was going to do it anyway......" Craft It can be easier if I talk to Efrika. I was wondering why. ¡°Actually, Meri©¤©¤¡± Craft What kind of conversation did I spend today with Meri? I begin to talk about everything without lying. In some places, veins were floating on Efrika¡äs face about the part when I was excited about Meri''s clothes. I asked her to keep her mouth shut until the end. ¡°......That''s the story. It seems that she has been strange lately" Craft ¡°A political marriage. She wants to be chosen for the people of Bunna......" Efrika There is something I need to think about and Efrika, with her hand on her jaw, seems to be thinking about something similar. She isn''t funny when I''m seriously troubled. ¡°Hey, Nii-san. There is one thing I don''t understand." Efrika ¡°Hmm? If its Meri¡äs intention, I have no idea." Craft ¡°No, it''s different. It''s you, Nii-san." Efrika Efrika pointed to my face with her index finger. ¡°What does Meri''s intention have to do with me?" Craft ¡°......Ha? Is your relationship good enough? You''re the one who will decide on your marriage partner, aren''t you? And you don''t want to marry a partner for a political marriage." Efrika So I was wondering......no, wait, what''s wrong? ¡°Right. Then Meri no longer has your attention. In any case, Venu herself has a similar motive, she wants her people to recognize her, as for Musashi''s reason, she wants to see her father.." Efrika In just a few words, Efrika easily summarizes each of the three candidates as one problem. I don''t know what she means......? It''s not a joke, I like the three of them like all of the other bride candidates. Even if they were in the bride training study with a motive or reason, they decided to fight to the last minute©¤©¤ ¡°......Ah, was it something like that?" Craft Thinking that far, I finally notice. Why am I worried about this? That was the answer. ¡°I''m glad you understand. Then I''ll ask you again." Efrika Withdrawing her index finger, Efrika says so with her hands on her waist. ¡°What do Meri''s intentions have to do with brother''s feelings?" Efrika ¡°My feelings......regardless of what her burdens are......I like her and she likes me. Isn''t that enough?" Craft As Efrika says, Musashi and Venu have a reason to marry me. But I didn''t care about that, the two of them went through the exchange with me.... and it gradually opened my mind, and above all, It''s interesting to spend time with them. Then why did it shock me when I came to know of Meri''s circumstances? Cause I''m sure¡­. it was Meri. ¡°Meri opened her heart from the first day......it encouraged me. That''s why I decided that she was unilaterally the mood maker and every time she said something it touched my heart" Craft She is a natural, energetic, and a dazzling sun, I didn''t think that she''s in a severe predicament and mission. Meri¡äs aim might have been decided without permission. ¡°Nothing will change. If Meri aims for a political marriage like Venu and Musashi......I¡¯ll just have to open my heart." Craft What I have to do now is to not worry about this. It''s a fun and interesting lesson that made Meri forget about the mission......that''s all. ¡°It seems that your hesitation was blown off. Huhuhu, you returned back to my favorite elder brother!" Efrika ¡°Hey hey, don''t hug me under this confusion.¡± Craft I open my hands to avoid the impending Efrika and murmurs to the back. ¡°......Thanks, Efrika. Thanks to you, I broke through my doubts." Craft It''s an annoying story, but if she didn''t come here......I was sure that I could not solve the problem. Hey, Efrika©¤©¤ ¡°Heeeee? It is somewhat scary for my brother to say such words." Efrika While looking back, Efrika is trembling with both shoulders. Hey, you''re rude. ¡°Try to scream and rejoice, as usual. What about my usual older brother?" Efrika ¡°Oh, you want me to scream? Then I''ll answer to your request." Craft ¡°Dumbass. If you are going to do it normally, it will only be out of order for incongruity." Efrika When she came back here, I thought she wanted me to be quiet. Efrika is good enough to change me. That''s the funny thing about her©¤©¤ ¡°Wait! Why is it so? That''s not possible!" Efrika ¡°......All right? Did you think too much and got a fever?" Craft Efrika touched my forehead with an unsettling face, did she notice my accident? Her cool, soft hand with a sweet smell......was all I could think about. ¡°Oh my gosh, there''s a little fever. Your face is so red......!" Craft ¡°That''s it, I¡¯m okay, so get away! This is so stupid!" Efrika Before I dig my grave too deep, I somehow regain my reason tossing Efrika away . It is not good to show my weakness more than this. I managed to pace myself...... ¡°It would be nice but......somehow I got jealous." Efrika ¡°Ha? Why are you jealous?" Craft ¡°I wonder, exactly. Nii-san has been thinking about Venu, Musashi, and Meri......but are you thinking about me and Kaitos too?" Efrika Pukuuu. Efrika is like a child and shows a blistered expression. ¡°No, I''m not......however, will Kaitos lose her patience with me?" Craft ¡°Kaitos patience with you? No, it''s not possible that she will leave your side.¡± Efrika ¡°Huuh? You¡äre very confident¡± Craft For my objections, Efrika has been worrying about and for some reason, she is looking at the bottom of the balcony. What? Is there someone downstairs? ¡°Well, then how about Kaitos? What do you think of her, Nii-san?" Efrika ¡°......It''s a lot about her. We¡äre family......but if you ask me whether she can be seen as a woman......maybe. I like her type of personality and appearance.¡± Craft And as I finished saying, from the bottom of the balcony©¤©¤ ¡°Well said!¡± Kaitos ¡°You did it, Kaitos-chan!" Leona I feel like I heard a loud voice. After all, there is someone......? ¡°Cough. Ah, Nii-san¡äs feelings are real" Efrika Efrika stands in front of me to prevent me from looking down below the balcony. And, as it is, she continued to talk with a glance which blames only a little. ¡°However, that''s too irresponsible, Nii-san." Efrika ¡°Why is it so irresponsible?" Craft ¡°Try to think about it. A benefactor who helped me in my childhood days, when I was young......he was strong, cool and gentle and would cherish me. If such a strong and excellent man is always in the vicinity, there is no reason to not fall in love! No, it is inevitable! I love you, Nii-san! Hold me close!" Efrika ¡°......I don''t know the reason, but why are you talking about it from your viewpoint?" Craft Even though I was amazed at Efrika¡äs spirit who eventually went out of control, there was a part that convinced me. For Kaitos who was in such a fussy environment......I was the only person who she could rely on. No, it may be said that I let her do so. Regardless of the reason and process, I am the one who helped her. I have responsibility for her. ¡°From the moment she was born, she experienced an emotion called familial love which later changed to love. It won¡¯t take long, In fact, Kaitos is going to be brother''s bride." Efrika ¡°I understand the reason. But there is a resistance inside me to deepen our relationship because she is a part of my family......I wonder......I don''t think she has a way of life as an Admol dragon......¡± Craft Emotions that cannot be utterly expressed by words. No, no, I can express it. I disapprove of that feeling and refuse to admit it©¤©¤ ¡°I''m scared, Nii-san." Efrika ¡°!! Wh, Whatt?¡± Craft Something cold runs through my back like my heart was clenched. ¡°Did I hit the mark? She has a more suitable way of life¡­...I''m not sure if I can make you happy, so I''m not just running away.¡± Efrika She read me like an open book, Efrika exactly stated the words I didn''t want to hear. Why is she so sharp only at these times......? ¡°......Yeah, that''s right. I don''t have the confidence to make Kaitos happy." Craft Human and dragon. Even though she can change her figure to human, she is unquestionably a dragon. I am not discriminating against dragons or anything. However, if she marries me......she will always be living with being bound by the human race......and being around me all the time. Because it will surely be a heavy burden for Kaitos, I can¡¯t issue words that would bind her to me forever©¤©¤I thought so. ¡°Important......no, I know the feelings of my elder brother, brother cares about Kaitos because you two share a deep bond with each other. But I believe that my brother can make the right decision......¡± Efrika ¡°Yes. Why did Nii-san participate as a teacher in the bride training study......remember?" Efrika Why did I participate in the bride training study? I certainly made a bet with Efrika...... ¡°The victory was clear, but you don''t like to win an easy game." Efrika ¡°I agree with that. It''s boring to win a game before you do it and it''s not interesting. If you don''t have the element or a part to enjoy......¡± Craft To say that, Efrika winks at me. I see. This is still a roundabout way to say...... ¡°Ahh yes yes. Yes, yes, that''s right! I want to make sure that I can be happy, and that I''m never going to get married.¡± Craft ¡°Right answer! Nhuhuhuhuu, my brother must be like that!" Efrika With a happy face from the bottom of my heart, I came close to Efrika who was fawning me. I''d like to loose off the balcony, but I''m going to remind her of something important tonight. I feel shy about treating it too carelessly. ¡°Even so, you''re a pretty sucker too. You''re helping your rivals." Craft ¡°Huhuu, I am the same as elder brother. Is it boring to win if you know the outcome?" Efrika ¡°......In your case, I think your chances of losing are slim" Craft Perhaps the most interesting thing about my marriage.... has to be Efrika. She is trouble, by bothering me every time and supporting me with accurate advice when I''m feeling troubled. I''m not sure if this is Efrika©¤©¤ ¡°Nii-san? What were you thinking? You were suddenly in a daze. Can I kiss you?" Efrika ¡°Huuu......when the trouble became clear, I became hungry. Let''s have a midnight snack." Craft ¡°I will be pleased to join you, but......will you stop wagging my face?" Efrika ¡°I don''t like it. More than that, Kaitos, Leona! You don''t have to be sneaky, come with us!" Craft I captured Efrika who was trying to take my lips and then called out towards the two people listening to me under the balcony. Even I am not so insensitive to not noticing this. ¡°Nuu, you already knew?" Kaitos ¡°Hauau......Nii-sama, I¡äm sorry.¡± Leona Flapping her purple wings, Kaitos in a half dragon half human state flies up while holding Leona. The two of them slowly landed on the floor as they were jumping over the balcony railing. ¡°Nii-san, don''t get angry with them. They were just worried about you.¡± Efrika ¡°Get mad at that? Rather......I''m the one who should be apologizing, Kaitos." Craft ¡°Craft. I don''t remember asking for an apology from you, right?¡± Kaitos Weren''t she thinking that I would be apologizing? indeed Kaitos has a puzzled face . ¡°No, not good. As for me......without permission, I had to complete my relationship with you and not hope for any further progress, and I was just denying you to go forward." Craft Family. Just because of that......I was betraying her feelings. ¡°Honestly, I haven''t got an answer yet. I feel uneasy about not being able to pick out even one person among five people as it is now.¡± Craft ¡°You''re a coward, brother." Efrika ¡°You are indecisive, Craft." Kaitos ¡°I think it''s a little pathetic, Craft-niisama." Leona ¡°Gu, Kuu......suu haaaa......back to the subject." Craft While taking a stiff spiral off the story, I take a deep breath and regain a normal heartbeat. ¡°But now I want to see you as a woman. How you''re yearning for me, how I love you......I want to have fun." Craft This is my true heart without falsehood. I think that it contains impure motives, but......it is important whether Kaitos will accept it or not, no matter what others think, it doesn''t matter. ¡°I don¡¯t care. You can do whatever you want if you want to enjoy yourself, Craft. For me, it is a pleasure for you to have fun. At best, it makes me happy." Kaitos ¡°It''s up to me now......can I check with you for sure?" Craft ¡°Are you sure? Craft, what do you want to ask?" Kaitos ¡°I''m simply interested. How long have you been in love with me?¡± Craft I think that it is a big factor that she wasn''t in her human state, but when I was traveling with her, I didn''t feel such a swing. She was just a dragon who loved to eat. So, I''m worried about how long she''ve liked me. ¡°When did I fall in love with Craft? I think the favor itself has been there for a long time, but I started to be more aware of you as a woman fairly recently......it''s time to put you on my back and fly in the sky.¡± Kaitos In a strangely crisp manner, Kaitos begins to talk with a blush. Is it shameful to tell the reason why she fell in love to see this appearance? ¡°Craft, I will let you on my back......whenever you gently touch my horns. The lower area of my abdomen gets so hot and my instincts are screaming inside my head.¡± Kaitos That''s what she is talking about? And this time she is looking at my face all fuzzy. Next to it, Efrika is still smiling weirdly. This is it. It is the flow of regret that it was better not to hear it, surely. ¡°Anyway, I want Craft¡äs child.¡± Kaitos ¡°Yes, I have foreseen this.¡± Craft From now on, tell me what kind of face I should have when I¡äm on Kaitos back. ¡°Hauau, Kaitos-chan is too bold......" Leona ¡°Nhuhuhuu! By the way, I fell in love with elder brother......idadadadaa!!¡± Efrika ¡°Kaitos......I''m sorry. Don¡ät force me to say." Craft In order to avoid any more bombshells thrown at me, I double the power to grab Efrika''s head. Today, I got tired of being stuffed with something. Let''s rest slowly and prepare for tomorrow. ¡°I forgive you, Craft. This is my esteemed estrus but it is my fate." Kaitos ¡°Good. If you think carefully, it is a situation that can be excited unexpectedly." Craft ¡°Nuu......naa, it seems like it will be a habit than I thought......haah" Efrika ¡°What are you saying Efrika. I will leave soon and go to Zenan." Craft After liberating Efrika who is drooling from an ecstatic expression, I walk towards the room of Zenan in order to get a late night meal. It''s about perfect things, I guess she is already preparing something. ¡°Ahh, wait, Nii-san! Hey, we will come along!" Efrika ¡°Of course Efrika. Now that Craft has recognized my feelings it is a good opportunity." Kaitos ¡°Both of you, please do your best! I wish I could have a nice elder sister......" Leona My important people come running with slapstick from the back. If Venu, Musashi, and Meri are here©¤©¤ ¡°......It''s going to be more and more fun." Craft Efrika, who has caught up, holds my right arm, followed by Leona hugging my left arm......finally, Kaitos stick to my head from behind. ¡°......GashiGashiGashi¡± Kaitos ¡°Kaitos. Do you have feelings for me......?" Craft Soon enough, we''ll end up laughing together. I''ll choose someone and I''ll marry that person. ¡°Isn''t it nice? Surrounded by beauties, elder brother is very happy, right?" Efrika ¡°Ah. I''m too happy and they seem freaked out conversely." Craft But I wonder why. If I look at the face of Efrika, laughing like a spiteful neighbor, such a trouble doesn''t seem to be a foolish thing. ¡°Nhuhuhuu......then I''ll scare Nii-san more." Efrika ¡°Haa? Hey Efrika, if you give more motivation......." Craft No, it''s actually crap. Because I©¤©¤ ¡°I guess it will be interesting to the end." Craft because I learned from the most interesting woman in this world. Volume 1, 7: Dora Prince′s confession Volume 1, Chapter 7: Dora Prince¡äs confession A week passed since Meri and I went out. I am heading to the classroom now with my troubles. From then on, Meri acted like her usual self, as if she had forgotten about that day. I''m looking forward to the class and trying to be cheerful...... "I know I''m not going to be able to do it all." Craft I think I have to do something, but I am stagnating without a good chance. A week has passed in this way, and the remaining period is a little©¤©¤bad. ¡°......I won¡¯t find a breakthrough solution today." Craft While worrying about it, the classroom of the bride training study comes into my view. Alright, this is a critical moment.While I felt the heartbeat of my chest rumbling with tension, I have yet to open the door to the classroom. ¡°Good morning. Today''s attendance......? Where is Musashi?" Craft ¡°Haaaa!! Give me your life!" Musashi Musashi, who held a katana in both hands, had attacked me when I entered and I looked up at the direction of the voice hung early. Whether she is overstretching her victory or not, her face is strangely infatuated. ¡°Hey Musashi, there are traps set up, so be careful." Craft ¡°Naa! Rea......lly? Where is the trap?" Musashi Puzzled by my words, Musashi land on the floor while still swinging her sword. There are no traps of course although Musashi started looking around at her surroundings. ¡°Baka, don''t lie. Yes, one" Musashi *Chomp*, when I hit her head with the attendance book, today''s match against Musashi is over. After all, it is troublesome to win a challenge that happens every day from the first battle. ¡°Ku, Kukuu! Naahaahaahaahaaa! It was regrettable Musashi! Good luck next time!" Craft ¡°Kuuu......Someday I will definitely draw my sword!" Musashi ¡°Hoping and waiting. Okay, everyone? Today is the knitting lesson I talked about yesterday." Craft After placing the attendance book that I never opened on top of the teacher¡¯s desk, I take out my small Gunigan cane. Then Meri who had been laughing until the last minute got up from her seat as if she remembered something. ¡°Ah, Craft-sensei. I tried to practice this. Please accept it." Meri ¡°Oh, I am impressed that you prepare for it. Great Meri." Craft Meri, who came up to the desk, took out a pink package. It contains gloves that are knitted with colorful wool, and it looks very warm. ¡°Well done, isn''t it? It''s been carefully knitted and it took time, right?¡± Craft ¡°It''s as simple as this. I used wool with magical power of fire, so it stays warm." Meri When we are in front of everyone, we need to be aware of each other. When I`m alone, I cannot speak well about the spectacle at that time. ¡°This glove has the same red color as my hair......I will treasure it." Craft ¡°Muu, don''t get a head start! Craft, I also made one to kill time!" Venu When I was watching the gloves, Venu also stood up and got closer to me. ¡°It is a waste to throw it away, so I will give it to you. Be honored!¡± Venu ¡°Heee, Venu made one too? This is......a muffler?" The inside of the paper bag handed to me as if thrown away is an incomprehensible muffler that only looks like a towel at first glance. In some places, the yarn is frayed, and the knitting is also biased considerably. ¡°I made it a bit longer, and if you like it you can wind it up with me......" Venu ¡°Craft-dono! I have made a handful of rice balls!" Musashi Pushing Venu aside that sidle me with her upper eyebrows, Musashi put out rice balls in front of me. Hou, it''s not unusual for Musashi to make it out of shape. "Wait for a little! Now it''s my appeal time!" Venu ¡°Venusera-dono, a game world is always heartless! I have learned from it!" Musashi I''m sorry to have a nice smile, but why didn''t she just knitted? ¡°Well......Musashi, you might as well have prepared for the lesson. And Venu, thank you for the muffler." Craft ¡°Are-are, Nii-san is very popular¡± Efrika ¡°Nii-sama, I helped with Musashi-san¡äs rice balls!" Leona ¡°¡®Munching......gokuu¡¯ Oh, is that so? No wonder I thought it has a beautiful shape." Craft The seasoning is also very good. Compared to the time we had the cooking lesson, one can say that it is a remarkable evolution. No, seriously......it''s a wonderful improvement. ¡°Musashi, Leona, thanks for this delicious meal. Well then, I will start the lesson today!" Craft It is nice to be trembling with excitement, but I can not be distracted the whole time. In order not to waste the remaining selection period, I declare the start of the class...¡­ ¡°Please wait with that lesson!" Zenan At the moment when the class was about to begin, an unexpected person visited. The outsider, who opens the door of the classroom mightily looks at me with her usual expressionless face. Footsteps are heard and she approaches here. Yes, the true identity of the intruder is©¤©¤ ¡°What''s wrong, Zenan? Bother to come to Bremfai." Brown eyes and dark green hair, it is the maid chief of Dora castle Zenan. ¡°Hey Leona, who is that person? She is really expressionless." Venu ¡°That person is Zenan. She is a perfect maid that can do anything!" Leona ¡°Yes, yes. Yes, this is Zenan a perfect placid maid." Craft Leona begins to introduce Zenan to the candidates who are puzzled by the sudden appearance of this outsider. ¡®Thanks, Leona¡¯. I decided to pose it with the maid''s own weight now. ¡°Cr, Craft-dono! This person, she looks like a depressed person, there is no gap anywhere!" Musashi ¡°No, there are gaps. Not pretty, but plain. It''s not pronounced!" Zenan ¡°Zenan, the air in the classroom has become like this with your appearance. Take responsibility.¡± Craft In the future, if it is during class, I¡¯ll kick her out if it is trivial. Zenan nods with her flat chest and lifeless face. ¡°Take responsibility huh...... so you¡¯re the type of person that acts ¡®as if you were his girlfriend after being¡¯ fucked by Craft-sama." Zenan ¡°That just looks like a boyfriend right! And that''s not what I''m talking about! Explain it. Explain!" Craft ¡°Don''t raise your arms, Craft-sama. Because Zenan is happy, I will get to the main subject." Zenan What is she really doing here? She is not going to make a comic dialogue with me, or is she? As I watch the progress, Zenan steps out in front of the candidates. ¡°Well, all the bride candidates have gathered. Every day you learned about unfamiliar housework and gradually seem to be fitted as the partner of Craft-sama......" Zenan Zenan bows. Hey, what are you planning to say? ¡° As to whether Craft-sama has such a worthwhile or not, it¡¯s time to choose a bride. Therefore©¤©¤" Zenan Raising her head and taking a glance to everyone......Zenan proclaims loudly. ¡°Presumptuous, I, this Zenan is going to test you." Zenan ¡°A test? Moreover you?¡± Craft To Zenan''s remarks that I didn''t expect, I instinctively raised a perplexed voice. ¡°Test? Why a test?" Everyone ¡°Hey Zenan! Why are you going to do a test so suddenly?¡± Craft ¡°Please feel at ease Craft-sama. Craft-sama will grade their performance." Zenan ¡°Ah, no problem then......is what I would like to say! I am asking you for a reason!" Craft Besides, I am not the only one confused. Actually, everyone else looked upset. ¡°I''m not convinced! Why should we be tested by you?" ¡°That''s not it, this chicken guy......originally, Craft-sama cannot choose a bride from everyone......because he is a coward and I¡äm not a very carefree person." Zenan I wanted to retort back, but it was true that we consulted before......right? ¡°That''s why Zenan is doing the test, so that Sensei can choose a bride?¡± Meri ¡°Briefly, you¡¯re correct tanned big breasted trash woman. I already heard the requirements for Craft-sama¡äs bride, so it was easy to think about the aptitude test." Zenan It is such circumstances after all. I told her to help me prepare for the stage. ¡°Ugh, trash woman......that''s a terrible thing to say." Meri ¡°Don''t worry, Meri. Zenan is like a disease." Efrika Perhaps Efrika, but Venu also starts to act like her. She¡äs clapping under the desk, clapping......no, I guess there is no malice. ¡°Hoe? Test......? I did not hear anything about it, Zenan!" Leona ¡°Yes. Of course, the contents of the test are going to be consulted by Leona too." Zenan ¡°Really? Then I will leave it to Zenan!" Leona Satisfied with the understanding that she is not out of the mosquito net, Leona is in agreement to raise various hands. ¡°I am against the test. There is no need for a test!" ¡°What! What kind of test is it!¡± Musashi ¡°Yes, it is a simple proficiency test. Even a samurai whose head is like a young lady can receive it" Zenan ¡°Aahaahaa! Please don¡¯t compliment me Zenan! It is really embarrassing!" Musashi I can assure you that Zenan''s plan is not a problem......but the approach is worrisome. ¡°Anyway I won¡¯t accept it! Craft has to firmly decide!" Venu ¡°No, you say? I''ve been turned down by you once." ¡°Ugh, in that regard......no comment......" Venu ¡°This is no longer a decision. If you are not convinced, you may decline. If you want to return to your country as a loser, please do. It''s so disgusting.¡± Zenan Did Zenan see Venu''s depression as an opportunity to fuel the other candidates? The candidates, who have been provoked didn''t raise their voices. This is already......a rule. ¡°......There seems to be no complaint. Please come to the castle tomorrow at this time. We''re already ready, so you can start the exam as soon as you get together." Zenan Zenan, who achieved her purpose and completely won skipped satisfactorily, and left the classroom. This flat-chested maid turned everything into a mess...... ¡°Zenan, without consulting me you decided......I trusted you." Craft I got real power in a competent subordinate, I murmured a little unfaithfully. With a silent and heavy atmosphere, Musashi got up and said to the other candidates. ¡°Sooner or later, one must decide. Whatever the case, I will win this exam and I will be selected by you!¡± Musashi Virtually-victory declaration. Musashi has a lot of confidence and smiles at me. ¡°I have the same idea. Whatever the circumstances it is inevitable but I will remain victorious at the end!¡± Kaitos ¡°Are the two of you think like that? Is everyone else feeling the same way? You might be in a fight with the people you''ve come to know here.¡± Zenan ¡°Of course. We became friends in this short time, but that is not just a conclusion. Whoever will win, not one of us will complain." Kaitos Kaitos resolution is real......no, the resolution is determined by everyone. ¡°I don''t even care. If it is not a fight, I can play with everyone." Meri ¡°Meri, you too? And when it comes, one will remain¡­¡­¡± Craft Such an interesting event......if she is willing to join. ¡°Of course, I agree. No matter what, my victory cannot be shaken." Meri ¡°After all you are on the other side. Then I won¡¯t say anything anymore." Craft It is best to do so if all bride candidates can settle in the way they wish. ¡°By the way Nii-san, we have to prepare for tomorrow......so is it okay to cancel today''s class?" Efrika ¡°Yes. Everyone can do what he want, I don''t care. Let''s meet at Dora Castle tomorrow" Craft ¡°Huhuu, I''m looking forward to it. Everyone, no hard feelings tomorrow?" Efrika After saying that, Efrika stood up from her seat and went straight to the door. When she passed in front of me, she matched my eyes only for a moment, before whispering in a small voice......so that no one hears it. ¡°Today is my last chance to solve the ill feelings. Nii-san, do your best" Efrika With that said, the door opened and Efrika went out of the classroom. Oh, she left alone. All of the candidates will keep in mind that there was no regret over the past days. I will be able to meet them tomorrow. That''s the last job I can do as their teacher. ¡°I won''t lose! I will defeat you Craft-dono, you surely can vow that!" Musashi ¡°Ooohhoohoohoo!! You¡äre hundred years too early to win against me!" Venu When I put my gaze back into the classroom, everyone seemed to be soaking in unison. Venu and Musashi are like calm wind and Leona doesn''t raise her face for some reason. ¡°Then Craft-dono! Enjoy yourself tomorrow!" Musashi ¡°Is that good? If Craft doesn''t choose me tomorrow, I will choose you! Please don''t misunderstand it!" Venu ¡°What are you saying, Venusera-dono! Craft-dono chooses me!" Musashi ¡°Ooohoohoohoo! Musashi-san, sleep talking is what you say!" Venu The two who have finished preparations came to me at the same time, shout out as they compete. Musashi and Venu were going out of the classroom while I looked at their backs leaving, before Leona comes near me. ¡°Nii-sama, that......I''m sorry. I have nothing done so far......" Leona ¡°Leona? You don''t have to worry about that......" Craft ¡°No. I, my brother''s marriage partner......I had to figure out who would be my true sister, but every day was too much fun......therefore I forgot my mission" Leona Although she seems to be depressed desperately, Leona¡äs expression is somewhat sunny. ¡°Everyone was really nice, I......I had been confined in the castle for a long time and I was so happy to be kind to people other than my brother day after day" Leona ¡°It is fine. If you felt that way, it would be a happy thing for them, too" Craft ¡°Yes. That''s why I beg you, Nii-sama" Leona So far, she hasn''t been a judge to select my bride......because Leona has been with us all the time. Leona opens her trembling lips so as to spit out the feelings that piled up in the meantime. ¡°Please do not lie to your feelings. I will cheer for the answer that my brother chose! Because I''m the sister of Craft-niisama!" Leona After she believed that its okay......Leona left the classroom at the end and went out to chase after Venu. It''s hard to be a good big brother. In order to meet the expectations of the world''s best younger sister, I also have to make an effort to become the best big brother in the world. Maybe it''s a thorny road, but¡­...I''m concerned. I''m just going to do it my way. ¡°Huhuhu, Leona too......you have a good knowledge of becoming a wonderful bride, right Craft" Kaitos ¡°That''s it. You came all the way to say such a thing?" Craft Kaitos who came next after Leona also had something to say to me. ¡°......Craft. I will be supporting you as well as Efrika" Kaitos ¡°Same as Efrika......ah, did you hear that?¡± Craft It seems she was listening to the words Efrika said before leaving, therefore Kaitos clapped on my shoulder to encourage me. Even though I have to decide tomorrow, I still have time. ¡°I don''t have a problem with my favorite Craft. Let''s hope for good results" Kaitos With a resolute attitude, Kaitos went after Leona with a smile. My contracted mythical beast......No, Kaitos belongs to the family. She is different from Leona who is my real sister and my cousin Efrika, because she has the role of being my best friend who had feelings for me......I never thought that I would come to see Kaitos as a woman. ¡°I respond to your expectations......my thoughts, will be my answer" Craft Efrika, Musashi, Venu, Kaitos......there is no hesitation in these four people. Tomorrow they will surely show up in front of me as each of the best bride candidates. ¡°......When it comes, only you will remain ostracized. You don''t want that, do you?" Craft ¡°Ugghh! Isn''t this the place to miss?" Meri Looking back, the last one©¤©¤Meri moves her body. She was late because everyone was ahead of her, I guess she lost the opportunity to go out. ¡°Idiot, who''ll miss? Well, this past week, you avoided me" Craft ¡°I mean......I''ve been imitating that......" Meri It reminded me of that day and Meri flushes her head while sitting on a chair. ¡°You behave like that, for making a child?" Craft ¡°Uwaaa!! Aaaa!! Stop it, Sensei!" Meri It seems to have become a completely black history and Meri hides her face with both hands and faints in agony. As I approached the seat of Meri, I sat down at the desk and confronted her. ¡°You get swept by a temporary tension, so you will attack with such a brute force" Craft ¡°Uuuu......no words to return" Meri ¡°However, that dress was wonderful. I''d like you to wear and show it again if possible" Craft The national costume of Bunna which she is wearing now is also good at exposure degree......she won''t get bored with the same clothes every day. Well, it is not an obligation to dress the same everyday. ¡°Even if you said that......isn''t that impossible?" Meri ¡°Why? Did you give it back to that Bunna student?" Craft ¡°That''s not the reason! Because tomorrow is the end of the bride training study......" Meri ¡°Sure, the bride training study is over, but you might be chosen tomorrow, right?¡± Craft Although Meri doesn''t understand the result until the end, she still shakes her head vertically, while looking down. Apparently she completely lost her will to fight, her heart seems to have broken. ¡°......Have you given up already? Then there''s nothing to say to you" Craft Unlike the other four people seriously trying to stand on the stage, Meri abandoned the fight. ¡°However, what is this all......at the end let me just say this" Craft It is not my responsibility to be aware of Meri who was concerned about that time. Therefore I don''t want her......to give up the game until the end. Fight to the barely fight. ¡°You told me that day that you could come to like me" Craft ¡°......Uh. I said......that" Meri ¡°Dunno. It is troublesome for me to ask you, such a thing is your own way" Craft Ruthlessly, I cut off the trouble that Meri has. In this way, Meri obviously faces me with a sad face...¡­ ¡°......! I, I''m sorry......I also think that Sensei is right......" Meri What is she misunderstanding? My speech has not ended yet. Meri. What I really want to say is©¤©¤ ¡°But, if you like me......I''m very happy" Craft ¡°Eh......?¡± Meri ¡°I don''t need permission or qualification of the people to think of someone" Craft Friendship and affection......some people in this world think they are annoying. I also don''t like the kindness from the knight captain a bit. It''s really scary. But I won''t tell him to stop it. Everyone should have been forgiven for hiding feelings within their own hearts. Even if it is a thing that I painted backwards©¤©¤ ¡°Whether there is a purpose of political marriage or if you fall in love with me I can do that. For a woman who likes me......I will lend her some power" Craft ¡°Craft-sensei......¡± Meri ¡°Anyway I am planning to solve Musashi and Venu''s troubles. In addition, your troubles......I will solve the problems of the Bunna people and show the magnificence of the prince of Dibair to the whole world" Craft Well, when I declared it, Meri raised her face. Looking into my eyes. ¡°Sensei......I was so happy to spend time with Sensei. All the other candidates were good guys, so I immediately started to like everyone" Meri The expression of Meri talking while imagining the spectacle at that time is bright and lively. ¡°And when I realized, I was so anxious about Sensei......when I started to be conscious of whether I felt something or not, I had to shoulder the mission of political marriage¡± Meri And, she might have been tormented by feelings of guilt for the other candidates. A sense of mission as a representative of her honest feelings, guilty to everyone, and Bunna. Caught to them......Meri must have continued that conflict for a long time. ¡°But you know what? Even if I come to like Sensei......uuh, I like you!¡± Meri ¡°It might be natural. You''re my most important bride candidate¡± Craft But there''s no hesitation in Meri''s eyes anymore. Same as the other four......she has radiant eyes. ¡°Dibair¡äs prince was a good teacher! I love you Sensei!" Meri ¡°I''m relieved to hear that. Now I can face you properly, tomorrow¡± Craft When I got off the desk and rise up, I stroke Meri''s head standing at the same seat as her. It was my first experience to stroke a taller person than me, but Meri looked very pleasant. Ooooo, she looks like a different person from yesterday. ¡°Nhuu......naanaa Sensei. Does Sensei......love me?¡± Meri ¡°Ouuhu, my chest.....c''mon, are you planning to cheat, though the exam is tomorrow?" Craft Meri who is getting pampered tightly attached her chest to my body whether her head was stroked. ¡°Well I''ll tell you if you want to know. I¡äm yours......" Meri ¡°......On the second thought, noo! Say it after you''ll win tomorrow!" Craft I put my forefinger a little on her opened mouth and Meri brings her lips close to that finger. Sighs overlapping, the distance between us becomes zero......A kiss on my finger. ¡°Hey, Meri! Now that''s......!" Craft ¡°Nhehee! I''m going to show you that I will definitely be selected as Sensei¡äs wife tomorrow!¡± Meri Hiding her vermillion red face, Meri ran away without sparing time to stop. She looks very happy from bouncing up her footsteps with excitement, this is what...¡­ ¡°Yes, it''s nice to get married......uuh, everyone is really awesome " Craft The result of choosing one bride from among the gathered candidates is nothing but the result of truncating the remaining four people. In other words, I have to decide four dropouts. ¡°Is there really such a cruel choice in this world? No, I¡äm......serious" Craft But it also means that the best choice is possible if I flip the back. Originally, even if I had a normal choice......what a funny thing. ¡°Kaitos, Venu, Musashi, Meri......and Efrika¡± Craft I won''t hesitate anymore. I know that I have to make a decision. It may not be accepted by anyone. It may be denied by everyone. Still good. I''m sure that they want it. The calm before the storm......it''s so quiet in the morning. The weather is good and the temperature is comfortable. It was just the beginning of the final day. ¡°......Even if I cry or laugh, today is the end?" One night has passed since the proposal of Zenan, the exam which decides my bride is finally about to begin. It was the entrance hall in Dora Castle where we gathered. A lot of gorgeous decorations and works of art pierce my eyes and I dislike it......I think that it is perfect for making the atmosphere from these days. ¡°How about you, are not you nervous? You can go to the toilet earlier than usual" Craft The five bride candidates who stand in front of my eyes are staring at me with a bright face. I was shy and smacky, but on the contrary I got embarrassed. ¡°Oh my, it seems like you can not make a joke, Craft-dono" Musashi ¡°It is Zenan who can not understand a joke. Let''s start right away" Craft When I urge, Zenan shakes her head vertically and then turns towards the bride candidates. And©¤©¤ ¡°Well then, I''d like to start the exam at last. So please introduce yourselves in order from the right" Zenan I don''t think that''s necessary, but the candidates came forward and started to do their duty. ¡°Isamura¡äs representative, Sasaki Musashi! In order to take revenge for the former harassment......I came!" Musashi ¡°Baretoria¡äs representative, Venusera Lloyd Baretoria! Craft is mine!" Venu ¡°Bunna¡äs representative, Meri Jilburan! Let''s do our very best without regret!" Meri ¡°Kurinos¡äs representative, Kaitos. I will win this at any cost" Kaitos ¡°Dibair¡äs representative, Efrika Surimi Dibair. I will be entertaining this test" Efrika Voices with spirit and enthusiasm blow through the entrance hall. Ah, your feelings©¤©¤I received it firmly. ¡°Finally Your Majesty. Craft-sama''s wife is chosen......your long-awaited wish has been fulfilled this time" Magwards ¡°Uooohh!! Craffftttt......I''m glad, I¡äm glad to have youuuu!!" King Zefirio When I closed my eyes and immersed in the afterglow, an unpleasant and hoarse cry from behind me sounded. There is an annoying gallery where people are very impressed. ¡°Father......is a little sultry. Or rather disturbing......" Leona ¡°Why, Leona! Have you finally become rebellious?" King Zefirio Even Leona who is an angel seems to be sick of reading our father''s air. I mean, I think that an angel will deal with that degree of correspondence. ¡°Damn noisy old man, stay out of it. This is my problem, alright" Craft ¡°It''s my job to help you, Craft-nii sama! Don''t disturb father!" Leona ¡°It is as Leona says. It is Craft-sama who decides the result of the bride exam from now. I admit that Craft-sama will choose someone. Is that alright bald and bearded old man?" Zenan As Zenan asks to restrain Father and Magwardo peering from the shade of the door. How to question now......Zenan, are you aware of my intentions? ¡°Of course not. However, you do not marry......is it right?" Zenan ¡°I do not even have to say it, of course. Come here, I won''t abandon our thoughts" Craft I kick the half-opened door and forcibly shut out my father. So that he won''t get in the way. I and the bride candidates......the beginning of the last battle. ¡°Let''s start the exam immediately. Then, every bride candidate, here" Zenan ¡°Ooohhoohoohoo!! I''m ready for every test!¡± Venu ¡°What do we do after all? Cooking? Or laundry?" Meri We don''t know the content of the exam yet. As Meri says, it is related to housework, or...¡­ ¡°Let me explain the rules of the exam. From now on, you will challenge your exams in any order you like. When all five people have finished, the bride will be chosen at the end. That''s it" Zenan ¡°It''s not a direct confrontation......unfortunately a little" Moreover, it becomes an individual judgment if it is not a simultaneous judgment. What the hell is she doing? ¡°Hmm. Zenan, what''s the essential test content?" Kaitos A question from Kaitos. Zenan was waiting for it and nodded, before she told the bride candidates the contents of the exam. ¡°The theme is confession!" Zenan ¡°Con, Confession! Hey, what do you mean, Zenan!" Craft She is still in the middle of explaining, but I can not keep up with it and block the words of Zenan. Venu seemed to be the same and she was saying loudly with a confused face. ¡°That''s right! It is such a frustrating to confess here!" Venu ¡°What a exam!! What is confession! I didnt even think about it!" Musashi ¡°Sensei! I love you! Uooo! Do you mind if I do this?" Meri ¡°A false start is no good Meri-san! I cannot overlook it as a judge!" Zenan There seems to be more room than I thought. Meri, please don''t sway the trident because it is dangerous. ¡°Calm down, everyone, elder brother too. Zenan still hasn''t explained to the end, right?" Efrika ¡°That''s right. Zenan, hurry up and continue" Craft ¡°Yes. Let''s get back to the story" Zenan With a few people still in turmoil, Zenan resumed her explanation. ¡°Confession is the subject I mentioned earlier, but this is not what you have do" Zenan ¡°Do we not? What does that mean?" ¡°That''s right. This confession will be done©¤©¤" Zenan Then, her words stopped and Zenan points at me and makes everyone''s eyes turn toward me. Hmm? What is it that makes them look at me at this timing? ¡°by Craft-sama over there¡± Zenan ¡°......Hmm? Sorry, I couldn''t hear you well, can you say it again" Craft ¡°The lazy lady-killer Craft will do the confession¡± Zenan ¡°What, was it a mistake I heard? I confess......Haaaaa? Mee!!" Craft Confession? I? Why? To whom? Why? For me who does not catch up with the head, Zenan responds again. ¡°Yes. And as you look at the responses and reactions, you choose your bride" Zenan ¡°I, I don''t know what you mean! You''re against me, aren''t you? Naa!" Craft Zenan is telling me to confess to all five of us. Such a shameful examination, I decided to hate it. That''s what I was trying to do, but¡­... ¡°Ah, it looks interesting. I agree with you" Meri ¡°I agree with you, too! Oh, may I record it with this latest video camera?" Efrika ¡°I will also save this with a filming stone. Hehehe, I''m glad I brought it" Kaitos ¡°I would rather have a fencing match rather than that......but this is fine" Musashi ¡°I can do anything. My confession is the same as when Craft confesses" Venu Surprisingly it is like a full-scale attack from everyone. Wow, I''m surprised. ¡°Why! What is the meaning of what I''ve been doing in class in the last three weeks! Domestic culture, housework and combat! I''ve been teaching severely, and it''s all for nothing!" Craft ¡°Pukukuu, Craft-sama, you¡äre a hundred years to early to try to plague this Zenan" Zenan When I''m scrambling to put a tsukkomi on the candidates, I whisper at Zenan. This guy, I''m not aware of that. ¡°In the morning, I knew when I saw your face. The answer has already been found, Craft-sama¡± Zenan ¡°Zenan, then what is this test......?" Craft ¡°Yes. Actually, this exam itself has no meaning anymore. However, it is not fun even though it is easy to settle. I set it apart, please entertain me" Zenan It seems so since some time now......how can I win over Zenan? No matter how, I it will be treated as a child. It looks as if I''m being danced on the palm of her hand. ¡°As I say, the answer was decided last night. But......I just want to confirm one thing with you" Zenan But there''s so much I can understand. The desire that Zenan had kept secret in her chest for a long time. I''m sure that©¤©¤ ¡°Good one Zenan? I''m with you......" Craft ¡°......Please do not get misunderstood. Zenan is the ultimate cutest and most dangerous maid. No matter what I am doing, I don''t intend to move from under Craft-sama" Zenan Shaking her head, Zenan again whispers to me only. Zenan is a frivolous person, but only the muscle never bends. No more persuasion would be possible. And I grew up watching Zenan''s back. ¡°More than a bride, as a maid......?" Zenan If Zenan says that she chooses the road, she will not force me, therefore I will just draw that feeling. ¡°I don''t say anything anymore. Keep being the maid under me for the rest of my life, Zenan¡± Craft ¡°Yes. Fortune of war, Craft-sama¡± Zenan I can not see the expression of Zenan behind me, but I know it. It is said that a woman''s clumsy smile blooms like flowers and have penetrated her expressionless face. ¡°And so¡­...I apologize for having kept you waiting for a long intro¡± Zenan I won''t look back. Not to waste Zenan''s will......and that I do not regret it. ¡°From now on, I''ll confess to everyone. I can decide the order here, right?¡± Craft Confession is ridiculously embarrassing, therefore I do not want to do it if possible. But when I think that the punishment that have been said that the bride training study was not good, I should silently accept it. They did it properly. ¡°Yes, no problem. Pick your order, Nii-san" Efrika ¡°Thank you Efrika. Let''s start with Musashi. Please bring a sword and come before me¡± Craft ¡°Nuu? A sword......? I understand¡± Musashi There seems to be no objection in order and Musashi comes forward easily. If you think about three weeks, we had a match like every day...... ¡°Musashi, this class would be the last. What do you say we''re going to do around here?¡± Craft Using only cowardly hands, there is an indebtedness that I never got along with a fair match. Before confessing, first of all we have to fight fair. ¡°The proposal for battle is hope or a fulfillment for me......but is it good? If Craft loses to me here, you can not confess to everyone else later" Musashi ¡°Then once you win the match, will you be happy?¡± Craft I pull out Danthes from my back and dressed in the purple magic power I prepared for the battle. ¡°Rather, don''t worry about that until you win. Hey, Musashi" Craft ¡°Hm, there''s a point......then it''s reasonable to accept the match!" Musashi ¡°Then, let''s go! Today I will be striving to win seriously, so quickly draw your sword from the sheath!" Craft A firework runs on the red iron blade, and the surrounding air stretches tightly. On the contrary, Musashi slowly reaches for her two swords, slowly pulling...... ¡°No, after all I wait a while. Better to check with everyone©¤©¤" Musashi Instead of pulling out, she crosses her two arms to make the shape of a cross and refuse to fight. As much as I was concentrating, I have no choice but to move. I returned Danthes to the sheath and chased after Musashi who is trying to return to the candidates. ¡°Hey, like I said, it''s a real match......!!" Craft At the moment my hand touches the shoulder of Musashi, the figure of Musashi disappears from sight. No, no! She hasn''t disappeared......! ¡°Finally. This match, I won¡± Musashi The swords clash far exceeds the speed of sound. I could not give in even when turning back. But as soon as I heard a dull sound I knew I lost. ¡°......Yes, you win. Good grief, you are more suited to be an actor than a samurai, right?" Craft A dull pain is running on my head and abdomen. I thought that we both will attack with our sheathes but I received a surprise attack. ¡°You showed me. The real Musashi¡± Craft ¡°I finally landed a blow on Craft-dono......uuu, I¡äm very happy......" Musashi Musashi collapses with the emotion so much that the lacrimal gland breaks down. I also forget the tone of voice and I''m pleased with my breath......absolutely. ¡°I don¡¯t told you to cry in front of me! Come on, don''t look down!" Craft ¡°Hiikuu, don''t force me......zubibibibiii¡± Musashi I threw away my sword and embraced Musashi who wipes her face sticky with tears and running nose with her palm, before I hold my handkerchief I took out to her nose. Gou, you can not do it. ¡°Aaaa, don''t clean your dripping nose with your hand. Such......with such a tattered hand" Craft Musashi ''s hands are covered with legume and can not be said to be feminine. But I know. These hand are more precious than the most beautiful hands. ¡°Hey, Musashi. You abandoned your family and even your name to meet your father''s expectations. And after a bloody blots effort, you achieved your goal of winning¡­...well, you''ve tried this far¡± Craft ¡°Craft-dono......?¡± Musashi ¡°You do not have the strength of me. You ended up not being able to throw away the patrimony and you were still teased by a disgusting maid. Although you''re acting big......it isn''t so" Craft ¡°Such a thing! The reason I was able to win was because of your guidance Craft-dono......" Musashi ¡°That is your effort. You bent yourself as a princess and became a samurai, bending yourself as fair and got unfair. I was drawn to that strength" Craft I thought to change myself trying to break down the current situation......but Musashi dream came true. It is impossible for me to say that I did not fall in love with this kind of thing. ¡°Musashi. No matter what you are, I don''t care what''s going to happen. Will you continue to compete with me, increase each other skills and spend your life together with me happily?" Craft A stretched hand. Musashi took my hand without hesitation and drew it to her own chest. A hard feeling can be felt through her armor. Musashi laughs letting me touch her armor that covers her body. ¡°My dream as a samurai is to become the strongest swordsman of the continent and show my sword skills" Musashi The samurai grasping my hand stretched her other hand out to the string that tied her hair together. And the moment the tie is solved©¤©¤her beautiful black hair is fluttering in the air. ¡°But squirming as a princess......I want to be Craft-dono¡äs bride and show the best of myself" Musashi Musashi¡äs naturally long silky hair flutters before her face. Musashi¡äs right hand played with it and this cute gesture pierced my heart directly. ¡°Shouldn''t you take responsibility firmly for picking up girls? Craft-dono......" Musashi ¡°Yes. Both the front and the back of you are valued highly. But before that, I''d like to ask you for your name as a princess¡± Craft ¡°Huhuu, that''s a secret. You definitely want to call my true name......" Musashi Pushing my chest tightly, the princess walks a half step to escape from me. And...... ¡°Next is Craft-dono, to win me!¡± Musashi Samurai Musashi laughed while tied up her hair in the middle of her words.......It seems that two or three have been taken away rather than one. ¡°You can''t show off. I don''t know how many times I tried to be alone with you" Venu It was Venu with an eager face that appeared to replace Musashi who had fallen behind. Seeing the exchange of Musashi with me, it seems she has gone out to the front without being able to endure. ¡°What are you jealous, Venu? Well then, it will be your turn next" Craft ¡°I, I¡äm not jealous! I just hate to wait......" Venu ¡°Is it true? Let me tell you honestly, why do honest people like me?" Craft Venu who doesn''t have any idea in this period is toyed around by my teasing. I thought this would be a little straightforward¡­...but it seems to have been more effective than I thought. ¡°Ah yes yes! That''s right, I¡äm jealous!? ''Cause I, I like you! My chest hurts everyday, and when I think of you, that pain turns into a very happy feeling! What is it that this is not love!" Venu Venu blows out, just like a machine gun that she loves me. It''s amazing that she ended up with a bite and without even a breath......that? Somehow the theme has changed, or not? ¡°Okay. Sorry, I will also confess to you in reverse" Craft ¡°Why, why, why, whatever......I do not care" Venu Venu who confessed in this place to me sits down in with a blue faded face while breathing strongly. It seems that her legs have run out and she exhausted her strength. ¡°Kukuu, I confessed to you once, and maybe it was fun even in reverse patterns this time" Craft ¡°Hey, you got a camera ready? Please give me a hot confession" Venu She clings to my feet as if crawling, before Venu pulls on my cloak. ¡°I don''t. Well, then once again......" Craft She gave me such a wonderful confession. I can''t even trample on that feeling. I lift Venu up in the posture of a Princess carry like we did in the garden before. ¡°Venu, at that time it was half momentum......but now I can say it seriously. I love you. I want you to be by my side as a bride" Craft ¡°Wh, why¡­¡­.? To me, it''s environmentally friendly......" Venu ¡°There are lots of things. At the time of cook showdown, even when I chose once...... you first thought of the other candidates. Such a thing, you can not do it unless you¡äre very good friends" Craft ¡°Beside that! Just because I wanted to be completely victorious, there is no deep meaning¡­..." Venu In my arms Venu tries to fake herself as a mogul, but I knew everything. ¡°Not only that. Even if you are hated by the people......even if you suffer from national bad habits, you have never said that Baretoria is bad. I like that kindness from you" Craft Even if she is not loved by anyone and desperate in loneliness, Venu did not dislike the country that her grandmother loved. She is a frank guy who is too honest©¤©¤ ¡°I will also like Baretoria. I also love your dear country......and, someday you will surely recognize your existence to the people. So Venu, would you marry me?" Craft ¡°......Mo, Mou, I don¡¯t have another choice!¡± Venu As the shivering has reached its limit, Venu jumps from my arms and rushes off to the ground as if it can go wrong. At that time the hood covering her head revealed her golden gray hair, but she didn''t care. ¡°Ooohoohoo!! I do not have any reason to refuse, as you have become charmed by me!" Venu Venu won''t suffer again, because there was mystery and conviction. If it really does, I have to do something to Venu. If it comes to me©¤©¤ ¡°Thank you......Venu. Also, I want you to receive this without saying anything" Craft ¡°Is this Burgles? Burgles......to me?" Venu A shining blue gun barrel, engraved with basilica marks. My longtime partner has now been entrusted to Venu. ¡°You should be able to handle it without trouble, because you have the same thunder attribute as me. Senses say things until they get used to, but......it can not be said that they can be used with force......" Craft ¡°I don''t think it''s an engagement ring, it''s an engagement gun......shit, if you say so, then it is so" Venu A reason for why I gave Burgles to Venu who hates magic guns......there is no deep meaning. I just wanted to admit it. Just as Venu loves Baretoria because of her grandmother, she will love my precious Burgles. Well, to put it simply¡­...is it stupid? ¡°Yes. I''m sure you did. Even if it is a magic gun that I hate, it''s a gift from my favorite Craft" Venu Venu also realized the inner circumstances and looked at Burgles joyfully, before she returns to the other candidates. Burgles, please firmly protect Venu. ¡°Now, three people are left......¡± Craft Back to the topic. I''m worried about who I¡äm going to nominate next...... ¡°It''s good!¡¡It''s a sweet feeling for a moment! Zuriiyoo!" Meri Sprinting,Meri embraces me while rubbing her bouncing chest against my chest. It seems that I have become a prisoner of her hug completely. It''s absolutely outrageous. ¡°Hey, I guess I said that I will decide the turn. Also, my heart is pleasant so stay away from me" Craft ¡°Ehehehee, the cause is to see that kind of confession! My heart is throbbing and it is painful! Please make it easy for me, Sensei!" Meri It seems that my chest tends to blast due to her breasts. I made it even easier to explode more......no, I should not think about such an upset now. ¡°Huu......I don''t know if I should meet that expectation, but I wish it would be Meri in turn" Craft ¡°Ooshaa! Show me a cool place!!" Meri ¡°Hold on. In my memories with Meri, the most memorable thing is the last shopping......I told the story yesterday, and it''s already solved, right?" Craft ¡°Uee......uee?¡± Meri Meri seems to be expecting it, but it is necessary to avoid the rehash of yesterday. ¡°Otherwise, when you ate the meal in the dining room on the first day? Or......" Craft ¡°There was more! In the cleaning class, you were chased by Kaitos and hid in the cleaning tool box with me! I was so nervous that my chest exploded!¡± Meri Oh, that''s certainly true. I forgot about the last incident. ¡°......At that time I only remember the feeling of your soft chest pushing against me and your scent because you were too close to me. I was sweaty, because the stimulation was too strong for me......I''m sorry" Craft ¡°So that''s why......ec, ecchi......I''m not good at it......" Meri Instead of doing excessive skinship, there seems to be a resistance to ecchi stuff by Meri. Meri¡äs huge breasts are caught between my arms......and Meri looks up at me with luscious eyes. ¡°Well, this three weeks. There was not much happening......so far that I and you had a big distance" Craft ¡°Yes, that''s right. Even I......thought so" Meri Dropping her shoulders, Meri becomes frustrated. ¡°But Meri. Instead, you were stuffing the distance with me one step at a time. At any time you enriched the class and supported me©¤©¤no, everyone?" Craft ¡°Huh? I support everybody......?" Meri ¡°When I was anxious, even when everyone was still not friendly......I was saved by your brightness. Because of that, I put a lot of burden on you¡± Craft ¡°......Uh, Uhh!¡± Meri I also had a bite to myself. Merry was shedding tears as it is pleasant. ¡°You can be proud. Everyone in this place admits that you are the essential part of this class. If there are those who do not approve, I will let them admit it. Even so, you don¡¯t need to worry" Craft I embraced Meri and we both looked backwards©¤©¤all lined up there nodded to my words and showed a happy smile. ¡°Naa? I told you, right?¡± Craft ¡°Everyone......higuu, but I......I like that, I felt like dropping out......" Meri ¡°Come on, MerI. You said it yesterday, right? If you fall in love with me, that''s fine" Craft I can not use the handkerchief with Musashi ''s snot, so I gently wipe Meri''s tears with my fingertips. ¡°And what I''ve come to like about you is eating politely and the brightness of the sun shining on everyone. And the circumstances that Bunna has doesnt matter¡± Craft ¡°Craft-sensei......I, can I really be with Sensei?" Meri ¡°I need your brightness. Please, Meri, marry me......from now on, enlighten me. Then you can eat a lot of delicious meals! Sometimes insects......I will go on dates with you" Craft Meri had already stopped crying. I wipe the tears and hold my fist with laughter. ¡°......What is it? I have a sweet confession in response to your expectations¡± Craft ¡°Really? If you like me please let me know the answer. " Meri ¡°Eh? Even if you don''t say that, I know!" Craft Of course I know. But, I''d like to hear it directly, anyway. ¡°Eeheheheeee!! I love you, Craft-sensei! I also want to laugh besides you!" Meri Bright shining like the sun......and smiling like a blooming flower. It''s such a happy sight, I''ll regret it forever if I miss it. ¡°Yesss! I told you! I told you! Uhiii! Uoo!" Meri ¡°Hey, calm down. Because we will soon finish, wait quietly over there" Craft ¡°Yes! Well, I''m looking forward to the rest!!" Meri ¡°The big chested Meri came back. The judging is over" Zenan I watched Meri leaving so as to be dragged by Zenan and I finally breathed out. No matter how much they are recovering with the cute reactions of ours, my spirit is already terrible. ¡°Haa, I¡¯m not one who say such words......¡± Meri ¡°It was a very moving confession. However, it is not so important when shown three consecutive times¡± Kaitos After Meri''s baton touch, it seems that Kaitos has come forward. ¡°Why do you decide the order without permission?¡± Craft ¡°Hmm. I wonder why Efrika was going to be the last one? I understand" Kaitos Looking at my smiling face, Kaitos next to me laughs with his nose. Indeed, did you care about becoming Kitez? ¡°......You''re really wise. Occasionally dominating the ball is not bad" Kaitos Even without saying anything, my heart is naturally transmitted to Kaitos. That''s the bond between me and her. That''s why I don''t need a special word for Kaitos. It''s not necessary. ¡°I don''t know what to say to you, Kaitos. Shut up and marry me" Craft ¡°There is no need to say. Even if I''m hated by Craft, I will be with you forever" Kaitos ¡°Yes yes. I''m not gonna let you go" Craft A promise from ten years ago. That''s a wedge of a contract that connects Kaitos to me. ¡°I''ll be by your side until I die. So you''re not alone anymore......for lifetime¡± Craft ¡°Fufu......I got it. I will continue to walk with Craft for the rest of my life¡± Kaitos For Kaitos, this promise must have been my confession. Then all I have to do is admit it. And I always defended that promise. ¡°It''s finally the last hurdle. Craft, you take care of it" Kaitos Kaitos taps my back only once before returning, smiling and saying this. ¡°Do not say anything exaggerating that it is a hurdle. That''s the final enjoyment" Craft The confession of four bride candidates ends, and only one person remains. A woman who I thought was the most difficult, even my natural enemy©¤Efrika. ¡°Yoo, Efrika. You have become the last performer for today" Craft ¡°Oh, that is a great honor. Favorite food is saved until the end......right Nii-san¡± Efrika She has the same red hair and face as me as if we are twins. We were born separately. we are already not equal anymore©¤©¤ ¡°Like Kaitos, I think that there are not many things to say to you, but..... thats a request from Zenan. I''ll try to be honest here" Craft ¡°You say that it is going to rain though you have not pulled Danthes. Are you planning to call thunder clouds too?" Efrika Efrika raises a light mouth with a look of affordance, but I am conscious that her hands are wet with sweat, she is soaring with waiting. ¡°Come on, don''t joke around. It looks like this and I am nervous. My legs tremble, my spine is cold......good grief, I''m get crazy when I am dealing with you" Craft ¡°Don''t blame me. Even if I''m in front of my older brother, my blood circulating in my body runs wild as if it is boiling......therefore, I wonder what you¡äre talking about!!" Efrika Efrika not turns line of her sight from me while I talk. Besides, turning aside her expectations......I knew, it was my defeat. ¡°I......I like your appearance and I think that your body is good. But such things are secondary." Craft Efrika who loves me so gloomy......was just troublesome at the beginning. Her personality was decent with this, but that was......a big mistake. ¡°What I truly love is that you went around and entertained me" Craft ¡°Craft, Nii-san......¡± Efrika ¡°Even if you are not a beautiful woman or you have a poor chest like Zenan or Venu......" Craft In the middle of talking, *Bang Bang* dull pain resonate on my head. ¡°What? Unexpectedly a magic gun isnt bad. Burgils, good boy" Venu ¡°Zenan''ll even name a wooden sword. This is cool, isn''t it?" Zenan I''m glad that Venu have used Virgil quickly. But what about me who was shot first? Hey, hey. And Zenan, your naming sense is not good. Never throw a wooden sword. ¡°Iii......ah, what I want to say are exterior things" Craft ¡°Wow, why are you messing with my turn? All right, keep going on" Efrika was dissatisfied, but she is full of fact that she inside suppressed her laughter. It is not only me who likes such a stupidity. Surely Efrika is the same as me©¤©¤ ¡°I might have built a wall somewhere in my heart. Unlike me, you¡äre called the saint of Dibair, adored by the people......you''re just the opposite of me¡± Craft Even if she likes me the lazy prince, she will not be happy. With such a dull idea, I was about to overlook something important. ¡°But you reminded me. It''s boring to know the results clearly, because it''s unpredictable, therefore it''s funny" Craft I know that Efrika had the same idea. Yes, that is why this girl is scary to me©¤©¤ ¡°So, just like you''re expecting me to......I also want to get a woman who can be understand like Efrika. It''s too safe to look at, but it''s a combination that seems boring" Craft ¡°Craft-niisan, I......¡± Efrika The Princess and the Samurai. Obstinate and obedient. Thoughts and mission. Kindness and love. As the candidates gathered here had trouble with their sides, I also found the answer...... ¡°Efrika, you didn''t forget that you made a bet on the courtyard of the castle that day, didn''t you?" Craft About two months ago, when I came back to the castle©¤©¤I made a promise with Efrika. ¡°Yes. Proving that I am the only one who deserves to be brother''s bride and whether I will be chosen by you. It was such a bet¡± Efrika ¡°That''s right, then look at the back. These are all your rivals" Craft Musashi, Venu, Meri and Kaitos. The best bride I admitted on the line of sight is keeping a close eye on them. ¡°Whoever you see, this game is my victory. You can accept that, do not you?" Craft ¡°......I will accept it. Those girls are good for my brother" Efrika Biting her eyes, Efrika looked down. Well, she didn''t listen to me, did she? ¡°Those I competed with are well understood. So, I regret that I will not be selected......" Efrika ¡°Efrika, I''m sorry to say that, but that''s only in terms of the surface¡± Craft ¡°What? Surface of elder brother......?" Efrika ¡°Rejoice Efrika. This feeling is swirling in me now¡± Craft Efrika who became the best healer on the continent only to please me, loved me at any time. She can not possibly fall in love with a guy other than me, which she will never admit it. In that case, there will be only one man who can marry her. ¡°There is only me who is suitable for Efrika in this world. That''s why I want to choose you" Craft It can be said that it is thoughtful. It is despised to be pride. I, Craft Serima Dibair is the only partner for Efrika. ¡°L...i...e¡­? However! Something like that! Nii-san, I?" Efrika ¡°Is the bet a draw? No, whatever the process or the result is...... I fell in love with you¡± Craft ¡°Auu......Craft-niisan¡± Efrika ¡°Please marry me, Efrika. My world will not start if you do not exist" Craft A hug with Efrika has been rejecting thousands of times in the past......by me. The sweet fragrance wrapped by Efrika and a well-balanced feel of her chest that also combines size and softness, all disturbs my heart. But this......is not a bad feeling. ¡°......I finally arrived. No matter how much I looked up, I thought I would not inhabit that world" Efrika ¡°It''s a tough win. Good grief, vindictive woman......" Craft The beautiful face of Efrika which came really close, suddenly piled her lips with mine. I accept it without denying it. ¡°Uhuhuu, this is our first kiss exchange" Efrika The taste of this unexpected kiss......was not bad. ¡°Because I kissed you, I did not say I love you. I will never say just to you" Craft ¡°Huhuu, that''s the front story, right? What about the back?¡± Efrika Grinning, Efrika pulls my arm. That''s ridiculous, isn''t it? ¡°Come on. I can not find words to express. You know, I don''t have a big vocabulary" Craft My right hand is raised and a signal is sent to Zenan after I poked Efrika¡äs forehead with the tip of my index finger. Now my confession is over. Remaining...... is only the final decision. ¡°Yes. This is the end of everyone''s testing!" Zenan Zenan, who was watching the course, confirmed the signal and told the end of the exam. There are still those who do not know the back though it is a place where everything is solved by this. ¡°Wait, wait! Craft-dono, does this kiss now mean that you choose Efrika?" Musashi ¡°That''s right! Here is the video of the evidence! Besides, kiss me too!" Venu ¡°Let me expect only that much until now it is not it! Sensei!" Meri Musashi who misunderstood that she wasn''t elected begins to make noise. ¡°Guys, please calm down! It''s not decided yet......" Leona Sandwiched between me and the candidates, Leona seems to be only wandering around. Well, how can I explain how to solve this misunderstanding......I''m worried about that...... ¡°You are too short minded. In such a thing, I do it as a bride of Craft" Kaitos Kaitos gave me an exquisite help, whether he saw me in trouble. As Kaitos is in the same position as Musashi, his words will be quickly heard. ¡°Hee? What does that mean, Kaitos-san?" Meri ¡°Craft makes excuses and I do not like to lose, but......I definitely do not get excited" Kaitos ¡°Please explain to me more clearly, Kaitos-dono" Musashi ¡°Fufu, you will know if you wait for the result with silence. I believe in Craft" Kaitos ¡°Do you believe in elder brother? That''s¡­¡­" Leona Although there is a difference in the time I spent, Kaitos knows me the best. ¡°Well said, Kaitos. As you say, I" Craft ¡°Hoohoohoohoo, thank you for letting me see something good " Magwardo ¡°Ooooo, my dear son Craft! I was hiding and looking at you in this corner! So who would you choose among them? Is it Efrika?" King Zefirio My father and Magwart come into the entrance hall to interrupt my explanation. This damn beardy and baldy......it''s a good place now, but you''re in the way! ¡°Tell me as quickly as possible! Now, who are you going to choose?" King Zefirio ¡°Hey, shitty dad! You didn''t listen to me, did you? I have already chosen" Craft ¡°Hiyoo? Craft, you what......" King Zefirio My father tilts his head with his hands on his beard. Apparently it does not seem that he have noticed the trap that Zenan set up. ¡°Craft-sama, you don''t need to be shy. I''m taking the commitment" Zenan Zenan was a competent perfect maid until the very end. Thanks to her, I......I can make the best choices. ¡°My choice is......¡± Craft The answer that I gave is indicated by a swinging fingertip. ¡°It''s the best bride ever" Craft It will be the beginning of a new wave of fun, a lot of fun©¤©¤ Volume 1, Epilogue Volume 1, Epilogue My old man once said that marriage is a man¡¯s graveyard set for life. If that''s the case, my brides are inviting me to my grave. What should we call it? ¡°Hmm. Well, I guess I just can''t summarize it in one word" Craft While frustrated by the crampedness of my marriage costume that I¡äm not used to, I look around the hustle and bustle of the surroundings. A glittering light shines through an extraordinary colored glass window. Eurerlagan Cathedral, It''s large-scale decor turned it into a ceremonial place to celebrate our new origins....each attendant wore elegant dresses, waiting for the brides to come. If I think about it, I hated marriage so much that I got curled up quite a lot. This one month. There was a lot of difficulties and trouble, but it was a lot of fun. Thanks to them, I lost my way....No, I was able to throw it away. ¡°Hahaa. If they were listening to me, what kind of face would they have?" Craft The door of the cathedral slowly opened as I respond to my mutter. The entire agitated hall quieted down©¤©¤everyone throughput the beauty of the brides. ¡°Finally, I thought they would keep me waiting forever¡± Craft Looking back, I see my proud brides, dressed in adorable dresses and giving away short comments as they come closer towards me...... ¡°It''s a wedding! Uoo! This dress sticks to my chest tightly!" Meri Meri shows a brilliant smile. ¡°Ooohoohooho! Baretoria also has the best dress design!" Venu Venu shook her beautiful hair without one split. ¡°This wedding dress is hard to move in. I prefer a white kimono......" Musashi Musashi is proudly showing her chest. ¡°I thought this kind of fluttering cloth didn''t suit me.......but unexpectedly, it feels great wearing it¡± Kaitos Kaitos cloudy eyes stare at me. ¡°Naaaa!! My elder brother in a wedding costume! Nii-saaannn! Aaaaaaa!!¡± Efrika Only me, an important existence that only thinks about me©¤©¤Efrika. An innocent, and dedicated, strong yet gentle woman....She is an irreplaceable bride who will entertain me more than anyone else. ¡°Hey, if you think you can calm down at the wedding......kukuu. You''re the best.¡± While walking on the aisle, you can not see the brides brutally making noise. Having a belly and watching the sight, my father, the priest serving before me, sighed with mixed sighs. ¡°It''s totally unheard of, Craft. To marry five people at the same time......" King Zefirio ¡°You made a promise, didn''t you? Choose a bride from among them. I picked everyone there wasn''t a restriction that I have to choose only one person." Craft Just before starting the exam, Zenan certainly attached a promise to my father. To admit that I, will choose anyone©¤©¤the way you did it is fun, Zenan. ¡°Thanks to that, my infamous name as a prince increased further." Craft ¡°Well, I will not say anything anymore! I''ll be happy if you get married!¡± King Zefirio Even if I am hated by all of the humans in this continent, as long as these girls are with me. Next to me. Compared to that, it is not as bad as a bad reputation that spread. ¡°It was good, Craft-sama. I am a bit scared of the night once the wedding is over, after all, you¡äre so popular with all these women......pukuku" Zenan ¡°Zenan, why are you here dressed as a sister?¡± Craft ¡°FuuFuuFuu, Perfect Love Sister Zenan is offering her business trip service for today only." Zenan ¡°Oh, really. You''re in the way, so go away. They are coming......uaa!" Craft ¡°Heeheheeehh! I- AM- THE BEST!¡° Meri I was distracted by Zenan and did not notice that Meri was right behind me. ¡°NaaNaa? If I get married, is it okay for me to be with Sensei from now on?" Meri ¡°You don''t need to call me Sensei to get married, Meri. And it depends on the degree." Craft ¡°No, flirting like that! Were you planning to do shameless things to me?" Meri Following with Meri grabbing my left arm, Venu tangles her arms to my right arm this time. But alas......the difference of their chest is evident. ¡°At the very least your chest is bigger than Leona......therefore stop! Don¡¯t turn Virgil at me!" Craft A dull gunshot echo inside the church and everyone falls into a mass panic. Waves of guests flee from the sanctuary, while the groom, who was shot, kept walking on the aisle, acting as if nothing happened...... ¡°Craft-dono! Do you not have a motivation for the wedding night yet? I hope you will give me a strong child to me!" Musashi I was suddenly. pushed by one of the brides ¡°Uaii! Musashi is too far away! It''s still a wedding ceremony, so why do you have your sword with you.¡° Craft ¡°This clothing is hard to move and it is tight around my waist! But if you break it like this! Haaa!" Musashi ¡°Buu! Hey, you! It¡¯s better than being naked!¡± Craft Musashi tore apart her pure white dress, exposing out her breasts that were surprisingly plump. ¡°With this, I also fulfilled my duty as a woman, ahahahaha!" ¡°What a filthy! With such a lump of fat, you will not stain my Craft!" Venu covers me with a thunder bullet. But......I''m paralyzed. ¡°Ababababababababababa! Vennuuuu! Danngggeerrr!!¡± ¡°JIIBIIREERUUDEEGOOJAARUUUUU! UGYANYAAAAAAA!" ¡°Naahaahaahaa! Great! Craft-sensei and Musashi are thrashing!" Meri Even though a magic gun can only be used with magic power, I''m in a big pinch at the shooting of Virgil. Damn it! I wonder if I can keep going! ¡°Pukukukuu. As usual, it''s pathetic. Lazy Dora Prince Craft-sama." Don¡¯t just casually join in, flat-chested maid! No......today flat-chested sister. ¡°I¡äm superior! I will show you my horror before marriage!" Craft It was the right thing to bring Danthes secretly. When I picked up my buddy standing on the platform, I headed for the pure white brides©¤©¤ Efrika¡äs POV ¡°Haa......truly, Nii-san is amazing, I didn''t think that you will marry all of us." Efrika I sigh greatly while looking at Craft who slowly took out Danthes and began to quarrel with Venu and the rest. Today is an important day too......that''s a problem. ¡°I was expecting something like that." Just like me, Kaitos proudly waits for this fuss to stop. Kaitos is sly to take such a good place. ¡°It''s Magwardo. As for this... this is not a mistake?" King Zefirio ¡°Yes no matter, even if he becomes the next king......it¡¯s still a polygamy." Magwardo ¡°That''s right. What will the kings and chiefs of other countries say¡­...oh, my stomach hurts." King Zefirio In the midst of the commotion, Magwardo and King Zefirio are holding their heads. No wonder. Such an unreasonable marriage, it is supposed to look insane to anyone''s eyes. ¡°Oh, your highness Craft! Your appearance to rampage in a wedding costume is also wonderful......haahh." Delrogello ¡°I agree with that, but it''s not a line one should say." Efrika Embracing himself with both hands, Delrogello shakes himself with a twist. I wonder who invited such a person to the ceremony......ah, Venu¡äs bullet hit him directly. ¡°Did the stray bullets come to the attendants¡¯ seats now?" ¡°That''s a problem. All the attendants ran away." Even while talking, the aftermath of slashing and magic bullets are......flames and thunder rushing through the hall in a row. I wanted to avoid a lonely wedding like this....... ¡°Efrika-aneesama, Kaitos-chan. Congratulations on your wedding. Your wedding dresses look very good.....sooooo beautiful!" Leona ¡°Ah, Leona. Huhuhuu, thank you¡± Efrika While a lot of attendants are running away, Leona is the last one remaining as she is used to it. She has also participated in that training of course, so she knows everything. ¡°Leona, don''t praise too much. I will get shy" Kaitos ¡°Ahahaa! Kaitos-chan is turning red!¡± Leona Leona laughing and smiling happily while teasing Kaitos. By this wedding, I think that it is clear that Leona will become my real sister. I¡äm deeply impressed. ¡°Even so, Nii-san is like that and the ceremony is not going to be started for a while.¡± Efrika When turning the line of sight, Craft¡äs sword and Meri''s huge halberd collide with each other and this spectacle scatters sparks. Indeed, without considering the troubles of the surroundings...... ¡°Hohh, Nii-san as always......" Efrika ¡°Emm......did you really appreciate polygamy, Efrika-aneesama? I surely thought that you like Craft-niisama the most." Leona Looking at our older brother who makes a great uproar, Leona looks up at Efrika with an uneasy expression. Certainly what Leona says is right and it is a very natural result. ¡°If Efrika-aneesama desires it, then you would be able to monopolize Craft-niisama©¤©¤¡± Leona ¡°Uhuhuu, I don''t know, Leona.¡± Efrika But such an ending is boring. ¡°Think about it. It''s better to have five brides than just pick someone. It will be a hard time and a big disturbance surely will happen?" Efrika The brides who gathered from five countries of different cultures will now spend their time with one man under the same roof. No one will know what will happen but that doesn''t mean that nothing will happen. ¡°My head hurts. Huhuu, just thinking makes me feel sick......nhuu" The complaints from each country escalated because elder brother married multiple women and the antipathy for him building a multi-national harem created a huge uproar. With that idea in mind, elder brother is trying to solve all of the amass troubles of Musashi, Venu, and Meri. Even though it could develop into international issues, they were all sensitive to problems. In other words, our marriage is not just a goal, but a new beginning. ¡°Haah......I wonder how elder brother will entertain me in the future.¡± Efrika ¡°E, Efrika-anneesamaa......?¡± Leona ¡°Leona, this is the identity of a woman whom you admire. That''s exactly the same with that idiot." Kaitos ¡°I love you, elder brother. All the way from now on......to the future!! Heh hehehe!¡± Efrika My brother and I just started.....a story that moves everyone''s life. ¡°What happened! Is it over already? There is still more to come!" No matter what difficulties and obstacles await us, we are absolutely fine. ¡°Efrika, Kaitos, Leona! You blend too quickly!" Anyway I......no, we are the best in the world©¤©¤ ¡°Come on! Let''s get excited! It''s our wedding ceremony!" I like interesting things. Volume 1, afterword Volume 1, afterword Hello everyone. My name is Aisaka Takato who has written a strange novel. Thank you for reading "Harem of the Dora Prince" this time. From among a number of light novels, my novel was picked, a new writer of unknown ability......absolutely, only words of gratitude come out. Hopefully many people will enjoy this work and I hope that you will like the characters that will appear. Did you find your favorite bride yourself? Five brides, a sister, a maid, a director, a minister......all in the perspective of the hero, so that this work is a revision of a so-called posting work. When I submitted to the Kodansha Ranobe Bunko Rookie Prize, it was seven bride candidates who would fought in a battle royal......it was a secret story that was somewhat different from now. Everyone of Kodansha Ranobe Bunko editorial department who has found possibilities for more coarse works than such a form, Ichiro Fujishima-sensei, Kusuke Fujishima-sensei, Tsukasa-sensei must be genuine gamblers. Given the fact that they gave me the right advice with a whip, I stepped on the skills of the trainer. Talented people are different. Cough. The next word of thanks to those who helped me in the publication of the work now. With lovely illustrations of soft touch, I''m glad you added a pretty flower to this work. Shigeta-sensei, editor in charge of Meri¡äs design likes to be excited by the story. In a certain margin, he is a divergence teacher who is a leaning tower for me who was aiming for being a writer. An important parent friend who supported my life before aiming at a writer. A pillow that gives me a comfortable sleep. Blanket-san, Futon-chan and Potato-san. To the extent that I have counted so far, they have helped. I really appreciate it. In order to repay a great deal of kindness, we intend to create more interesting works in the future. And, because I will do my best to be able to have a long relationship with everyone who has seen this work, if you see my name in the bookstore again, please take your hand by all means. The next volume is about the newlyweds first night and their eventful honeymoon. Slapstick harem and rampage around the world. Please stay tuned to the new heroine! Next time "Harem of the Dora Prince''s Honeymoon"! Next time, again Harem, Harem! ¡­¡­¡­¡­Because my life is a mast die more than this, I will be self-weight soon. I hope to see you soon again at the next volume! I promise! Aisaka Takato Volume 2, prologue Volume 2, prologue [Leona''s diary Gaku period May 12th] Today was the long-awaited wedding of my elder brother Craft! On the way, I thought what would happen when everyone began to rage, but......the ceremony was finished successfully and my brother and his wives were sunny! I mean I got five new sisters! Of course my new older sisters decided to live in Dora castle from this evening. It seems that each room is different and only the bedroom is the same with Craft-niisama. I wanted to go out but Zenan forbid to go out at night. After all it''s because my older brother does that kind of thing¡­...right? My older brother finished bathing earlier and entered the bedroom with wet hair. My older sisters who were strangely gazing at the face of my strangely stupid brother with a red face. I am ten years old already. What kind of work will a married couple do......wow, I''m curious. I wanted to sneak in secretly, but because she was standing in front of the door, I gave it up. Zenan is just scrupulous! I also want to look at Craft-niisama. Ah, I may not be able to sleep tonight. Volume 2, 1: Dora Prince and his 5 brides Volume 2, Chapter 1: Dora Prince and his 5 brides Marriage. It is a pledge between a man and a woman to love each other forever and exchange tendencies to become couples. Newlywed¡¯s first night. is a night where couples spend their time to conceive a child of their own through procreation. Well, I might be mistaken, but I''m not entirely wrong. To show that proof, the couple will sleep in the same bedroom......on one bed. After that noisy yet funny wedding ceremony, I, Craft, finally become a man......I was on the bed, trying to restrain my excitement. Of course, my brides, who are five beautiful girls are also with me. ¡°......Nmuu, Craft-donoo......where are you touching? " Musashi Ten people will be able to lie down well on this custom-sized bed. Musashi, one of the brides, embrace my right arm lying at the center. She abandoned her position as Princess of Isamura and her history of being a samurai......but her body is surprisingly plump, and the constriction of her waist tightened caused by her severe sword training which is also superb. One of her features is her glossy black hair. Her hair, which is usually tied in a ponytail, is being unraveled every time she moves, waving between her smooth face and my face. ¡°......Mou, Craft......I''d like you to look at me properly......" Venu The second bride is on the other side......Venu''s arms are stretched and turned to my neck. Venu was originally the second princess of Baretoria, her blonde hair color, a symbol of Baretorians, is mixed with gray hair this is due to her being a half......It seems that she suffered unreasonable persecution due to that color. But I do not think her hair is ugly. here is no branched hair, with her hair well-maintained, to me, Venu is the most beautiful person than anyone I know . ¡°Emm, Craft......I will offer everything to you......" Venu Putting her face on my ears, Venu raises a feverish voice. The sweet scent of a cake, tickle my nose, a little......no, her chest where volume is insufficient, is pushing against my body liberally. Oh, I do not feel anything Venu. ¡°Nhehee¡­...Sensei here......it looks delicious......" Meri This time, I felt a hoarse like feeling on my left foot......this is the third bride, Meri''s breasts. Her country of origin, with her habitable white hair and healthy brown skin, is Bunna. Meri is a descendant of the greatest tribe in Bunna, and she has the most extraordinary tits among my brides. If she continues to do such a thing, my legs will get caught between her chest......I''m getting excited. ¡°Muu¡­...Meri. This foot is mine......gajigaji" Kaitos Next is the right foot. My fourth bride, Kaitos, began to sweeten my thighs. The king of mythical beasts, which is said to have been extinct, a survivor of the Admol Dragons, Kaitos is also my contracted beasts a dragon who became my bride as representative of Kurinos. Her original appearance is a huge dragon, but Kaitos can transform into a state of rest like a little lizard or......like this superbly beautiful human being. Because this form also has big tits as good as Meri......it gives em mentally damage when she does stupid things. No, the situation in which I am originally placed is very dangerous. I will check it again, but tonight is sacred......it is our newlywed¡¯s first night. Tonight all of the girls wore light clothing, so they look nearly naked in their underwear. Musashi on the right arm, Venu on the left arm, Meri on my left foot, Kaitos on my right foot......they are touching and rubbing me with their bodies, intertwine while feeling each other''s heat. Efrika, my cousin who has the same blood as me, was also silent as if she was waiting for that time quietly. Well, if it goes as smoothly as I imagined, I will graduate from being a virgin and become a man©¤©¤ ¡°Munyaa, Craft-donoo......such a place......gunuhehehee" Musashi ¡°Ah, No, not good......Craft......sucking my chest......supii" Venu ¡°Guu,suyaa......dont be so intense......nn......haah" Meri ¡°......Munya......overdone......I got hungry......suu, gunyuu" Kaitos It was supposed to be so. ¡°You are sleeping in this situation......chikijioooo....." Craft All of them were sleeping deeply without fulfilling the night act with me. They are probably dreaming about me. I absolutely won¡¯t forgive them for this. ¡°Ugigigigii......rope, why does this rope not torn off¡­..." Craft Damn it. While my dreams do make me happy......I am miserable in reality. In my harem state with these beautiful girls, which is like a dream, a delicious fantasy like this will never come true, because I am tied up with both hands on the bed. That''s right. It is a delicious story like a dream, so there is nothing wrong with it just being in a dream. What''s up! Hahahahaha! ¡°N, Not a laughing matter!!! Damnn.....why am I like this......" Craft Even though this rope, wrapped in a multiplicity of gruel wrapping disappeared, it can move to overflowing libido! Damn, why am I tied up so much? ¡°This, it is not just a rope! Kateeee!!" Craft ¡°Stupid older brother. Because it is not a rope that you¡¯re supposed to attack, it is a suitable thing, right?" Efrika Tilting towards the voice, I had eye-contact with my last bride who was sitting on the edge of the bed¡­...Efrika. The body line that emerged wearing a thin Negligee is nothing but a word of wonder. ¡°Ah? What Efrika, were you awake?" Craft ¡°Yes. Somehow I got excited and I couldn''t sleep......nhuu, it is the same as older brother" Efrika A perfect woman with an outstanding style, and beautiful appearance that was well-balanced, and with her red hair and red eyes matching with me. This cousin whom I grew up with, almost looks like an exact copy of me, a twin you could say. And among the brides, she dresses, especially in my favor. Still, it is strange that she still not doing anything in this way. Or maybe she can but she¡¯s waiting for an opportunity. ¡°Don¡¯t have that greedy face. Everyone decided everything earlier right? The legal wife...... that is, it depends on brother to decide, so the number one partner would be on hold for now" Efrika ¡°Uguu......no, I don''t have to imitate such a thing like that. Do you even think that I will entrust it to my lust and attack you?" Craft It is nice that you cannot do that kind of thing. But, if you are in such a state of torture, your head will go crazy! Well, already, my reason is about to fly! ¡°That''s right, wasn''t it Onii-san that pushed us to bed as soon as we entered the bedroom?" Efrika ¡°............What? What kind of fight is that?¡± Craft ¡°Although our hearts were not ready, you touched our breasts and asses one after another......nhuhuhu. I was pleased, but it seems that it is still too early for these children. Thanks to this, you¡äre like that." Efrika ¡°It, it cannot be helped! Even if I know it in my head, if there are five girls in front of me, especially beautiful girls like you......my reason was slightly blown away!" Craft As a result, touching my brides at bedtime was prohibited. On the contrary, my brides are touching me like ants......but this is also heaven and hell. Because I can only be spoiled by being unilaterally appointed, I can''t do anything myself. ¡°Huhuu, you have a bitter face......Nii-san is cute¡± Efrika When Efrika smiles, she grinds the bed and approaches on all fours. Swinging her big breasts peering down from her negligee, Efrika pokes my eyes while licking her lips with her red tongue. Just keep on looking, like a predator stalking her prey...... ¡°Nuu¡­...Chu. Just be satisfied with this alone tonight, Nii-san" Efrika ¡°......Are you devils? Being like that, I''m sad, Efrika" Craft Our lips combine, a soft touch. I''m happy, I''m happy but something is wrong. Not only it makes me extraordinarily aggressive! This person is not! ¡°Hmm, if you do not want us to turn into devils, you must pick the legal wife first of all" Efrika ¡°Ah, that hand......it''s not a simple story" Craft I married five girls simultaneously. A commotion erupted from the outside world, mentioning words like amorousness and being called names such as harem prince... I think all of them are my precious brides, so I can''t settle on a favorite so easily.....I should treat everyone as equally as possible. ¡°You can say it is a stag. Even being indecisive can be fooled. Still, I don''t want to have a sneaky ranking among us, much less of being conflicted by temporary feelings. I just want all of you as the number one wife¡­...because I''d like to be a proper husband." Craft I am also a man. That urging feeling to do erotic things with these fascinating women is strong. However, I cannot do such things right now as I have to help them with their problems and emotions first. It was my choice to make everyone my bride......it''s my keying. ¡°......Nii-san. Well, I''m a bit disappointed, as expected of my brother©¤©¤¡± Efrika ¡°It- it¡¯s not the same thing you know? Craft-dono!" Musashi ¡°What! Mu, Musashi?¡± Craft Suddenly Musashi jumped up. Why did she get up? I don''t know......what Musashi is doing¡­...or what she meant......? ¡°Hu, Huh! It is decided that you will choose me first, but¡­...I appreciate the honesty in your words...Craft" Venu ¡°Naahaahaahaaaa!! It is not easy for Sensei!" Meri ¡°That''s it for Craft. Huhuhu......I will attach a reward for you." Kaitos Brides who wake up one after another and turn their hot eyes on me who cannot move. Surely everyone! Since when were they awake? Perhaps, from the beginning©¤©¤ ¡°Kuuu!! There are no regrets about being married to Craft-dono! Alright, I¡¯ll also give you a kiss of my love!" Musashi ¡°Wait, wait! Now I am patient......, so......muguu!" Craft ¡°What are you doing, Musashi-san! It is strictly prohibited to steal a march......*Gulp" Venu ¡°Venu. Let''s exchange our mouth if you don¡¯t......nn" ¡°It is Venusera! I, I! On, Only one ki, kiss......*chu*" Venu ¡°Good! I will kiss you too! Eee! Buuchu!!" A substitute, a barrage of brutal kisses attack me while I cannot move. A soft feeling and a sweet scent are released by everyone. That all disturbs my heart. ¡°Areare, seriously Nii-san" Efrika ¡°Puhaa, I would like to say to somebody else¡­...umugugugu!!¡± Craft ¡°Hey, will I also be in the rotation as well? You won''t be tricking me?" Kaitos Say it again. I have been restrained and I¡äm in a state where I cannot move. I have been kissed alternatively by these beautiful girls, but from here I cannot do anything. ¡°Nhuu. I''m sorry for just kissing......next time I will finger even your ears, Nii-san" Efrika ¡°St, Stop it, nn......stop, muguguu, sto......hahiihh.¡± Craft Ticking noise of an orderly clock echoes through the bedroom. The first night of the newlyweds had just begun©¤©¤ ¡°Craft-sama. Did you enjoy last night?" Zenan ¡°......Ah, it was a lot of fun. It seems like that right?" Craft The next morning after the eventful wedding ceremony and the newlyweds first night. What woke me up was Zenan, the chief maid of this castle. ¡°Pukukuu. Kiss marks are attached to your face......your miserable face becomes even more amusing." Zenan ¡°I¡äm asking you, please untie this quickly. My body is getting numb." Craft ¡°Certainly. Even though there are five brides, Craft-sama is still a virgin." Zenan Zenan took out a dagger from the hem of her skirt and cuts the rope that was restraining my whole body. ¡°Nooo! Craft-sama''s Craft-sama is so splendid for someone like Craft-sama and it''s really Craft-sama-ish Craft-sama that it too good for Craft-sama! Kyaah!¡± Zenan Lifting my body from the bed, Zenan raised a high-pitched voice as she looks at my crotch. Her embarrassed face and reaction were so sincere that it is hard for me to react. ¡°Well, if you do not have the opportunity to use your precious sword, it is skeptical. Guffaw." Zenan ¡°......By the way, Zenan, have you seen where my beloved wives have gone? Leaving their beloved husband behind.¡± Craft ¡°Your wives are chatting in the cafeteria. It''s all about deciding where to go on your honeymoon." Zenan Zenan answers graciously while clearing up the rope which has been torn and scattered with her hands. ¡°Haa? Honeymoon......I haven¡¯t heard anything about it." Craft When I inquire while wearing pants, Zenan nods and answers back. ¡°Of course. This Zenan has just proposed it before." Zenan ¡°You proposed it. You, without permission again and again......" Craft ¡°That''s more interesting, isn''t it? Zenan does it just to the liking of Craft-sama" Zenan Don''t thrust up your chest, Zenan. Even though you''re a perfect pretty maid, except for your poor chest and expressionless face like a Noh mask¡­...no, this girl isn''t old. ¡°Do you want to die? Then I will take away your life with this dagger" Craft ¡°I''m sorry about that. I don''t read people''s minds without permission¡± Zenan With an obvious good maid in my eyes, I wear my outer clothes hung on a chair. I continue with carrying Danthes, that had been standing on the wall, on my waist, before I lastly hung my goggles on my neck. ¡°Good. It''s finished" Craft ¡°No, you''re still forgetting this" Zenan ¡°Oo? Tssk! This is...... a gun?¡± Craft Zenan throws a gun towards me after I have changed my clothes as usual. Well, I gave Virgil to Venu...... ¡°N......It is slightly different. It looks alike but the design and weight have slightly changed." Craft ¡°That is a delivery from Rinn. It seems to be a wedding gift." Zenan Rinn. she is the shopkeeper of my familiar magic tool store and an old friend of mine. If it is a wedding gift as Zenan says, I would rather say to her to bring it directly......well, it¡¯s fine. ¡°Let''s see. Ah, a letter is caught in the holster after all......it really is from that fellow." Craft A letter was folded in the holster of the new gun......written on it was an instruction how to use the black magic gun Angelos and a small ¡ºCongratulations on marriage¡». ¡°Well, I would have received it if I could. I just wanted a new gun" Craft I strap and put the holster around my waist and the letter into my coat pocket. I don''t need to read the instruction manual for this gun because I will acquire the knowledge to do so while using it. ¡°When you become familiar with this shape, I will guide you to the cafeteria immediately." Zenan ¡°I can go alone. This is my castle after all." Craft After checking the condition of the holster, I open the door while stretching my neck. I do not know what I''m worried about, but I guess I¡¯ll just go to eat breakfast. ¡°No, it is not. Even if only a little time......I want you to spend time with this Zenan©¤©¤¡± Zenan ¡°Well then, I''m going ahead, Zenan" Craft I close the door to interrupt the words of Zenan and walk down the corridor with my sleepy eyes. My stomach is starving. I have no obligation to deal with her silly jokes. ¡°Don''t rush. If you are too motivated, I do not know what to say later." Last night was a bit meaningless, but today is the first day to celebrate as a couple. It is not bad to have a refreshing meal and spend a day together. I thought so and continued walking a few minutes. Finally, I opened the door of the cafeteria©¤©¤ ¡°Soooo! Its decided that we will go to Baretoria!¡± Venu *Bam*! A pancake stuck my face with Venu¡äs angry voice. Uwaa......smeared with honey and butter......*Chewing*. ¡°What a nonsense! Whatever you think, we should go to Isamura!" Musashi Hyun! Next, three sausages come flying to me. ¡°Yoo, Hoo, Too!¡± While chewing the pancake, I caught the flying sausage between my fingers. *Chewing*, *Gulping*. Kukuku, I will do this...... ¡°Both of them are fun countries, but after all, it''s time to go to Bunna! Thats it!" Meri Buonbuonbuon! Is there any food that produces such a dynamic sound? The moment I raised my head, I see a super-huge halberd rotating at a high speed coming towards here...... ¡°Dangerous!" Craft The halberd barked to the door of the dining room which was behind me after it missed its target when I turn over my body in a panic. A huge hole is vacated and it disappears into the interior of the corridor. ¡°......Hey Hey, do you want me to die early in this place!¡± Craft Feeling the cold sweat running on my back, I look over the cafeteria. ¡°What are you doing! Taking out a weapon is barbaric!¡± Venu Venu, clad in a black gothic dress is still shouting with a lovely face and the remains of childishness. ¡°I, I don''t have any more dishes to throw......so I''m finished eating" Meri Meri, who is wearing her national costume with numerous exposures of the skin, is arguing with meaningless reasons. ¡°To begin with, it is inconvenient to throw dishes! Reflect on it!" Musashi The one eating while using chopsticks for dexterity is the cool Musashi, who is wearing a kimono and armor together. ¡°Umu, that''s right. But Musashi, you aren¡¯t qualified to say that" Kaitos Shaking her head in an amazing manner, Kaitos is dressed like me. ¡°Huhuu, Indeed. I wonder if I can quietly take a meal" Efrika Giggling like that, Efrika is wearing a white dress. Gentle and innocence. Strong and dedicated......these are my brides who entertain me more than anyone. these girls are an important and irreplaceable existence to me......but what. ¡°......What the hell is going on here?" Craft In this room, which is the dining place reserved for the royalty, there is a wonderful long desk in the room, but the girls sitting side by side are staring with a rough mood somehow. ¡±Ah, Good morning Craft-niisama!" Leona ¡°O, Ou......Leona. Good morning¡± Craft I don''t know what is causing such a commotion, but Leona, my beloved little sister came to me dumbfounded. Her beautiful blue hair and her doll-like complexion. Oh, how adorable my sister is! Right now, with these arms...... ¡°Craft is it? Leona! Retreat there!" Venu ¡°Naaaa! Nii-san! I''ve been waiting for you to get up!" Efrika ¡°Craft-dono! I''m tired of waiting! Is this also a teasing operation?" Musashi My brides surrounded me. While stretching my hands towards Leona, I tried to hold her. Hey, wait a minute! Leona! My Leona! ¡°Huwaa, the married couple gathered so happily in the morning! Good..." Leona ¡°Hey, Leona help me! I wanted to give you a hug......" Craft ¡°Come on, Craft-sensei! Please sit down in your seat quickly!" Meri ¡°We were amusing ourselves to a very important discussion right now." Kaitos ¡°Leeeooonnnnaaaaa!!¡± Craft Ruthlessly separated from Leona, I''m dragged by Meri and Kaitos who are proud of their strength. ¡°Well then, since I am an obstacle, I will return to my room soon!" Leona Ah, Leona. My little sister......don''t abandon me. ¡°Ah, it is okay, Leona. You are already our precious sister." Venu ¡°Ehehee, thank you very much, Venusera-oneesama!¡± Leona ¡°Hauaa! Ve, Venusera-oneesama......how wonderful it sounds" Venu Hey, wait! Leaving me behind and what makes you feel good with Leona, Venu! ¡°En, envious......Leona-dono. Please call me elder sister too!" Musashi ¡°Then, I am Meri-oneesama!!!" Meri ¡°Then, am I Kaitos-oneesamaa?¡± Kaitos ¡°Yes! Musashi-oneesama and Meri-oneesama! Also, Kaitos-oneesama!" Leona ¡±............Cute!¡± Meri, Musashi, Kaitos Everyone is devoted to the overwhelming sister aura of Leona and wear a smile of ecstasy. No wonder. Leona is the strongest and best sister in the world. ¡°......Following my idiot brother is the birth of my new idiot sisters. Leona, go back to your room as soon as possible and take your medicine." Efrika ¡°Yes, Efrika-aneesama! Well then, see you later elder sisters¡± Leona Sickly, Leona regularly has to take a medicine made by Efrika. Therefore, unfortunately, it is impossible for me to stop Leona in this place. ¡°Uu, Leona......my angel. My goddess......" Craft I saw off Leona leaving through the door and I leaked out a voice of sorrow. Let''s talk again later, my pretty Leona...... ¡°What a depressed brother. You have to eat breakfast soon¡± Efrika ¡°Hey......what is this breakfast? You made it?" Craft After arriving on my seat, I observe the meals prepared on the table. Following pancakes and sausages, there are also chicken dishes and soups. I usually don''t have such extravagant dishes in the morning, so I wonder if anyone of them made them. ¡°The pancakes are made by Venusera. The sausage was made by Musashi. The chicken dish is made by me and the soup is from Meri. Kaitos is still not good at cooking, so she helped me with my dish.¡± Efrika ¡°What? All of this was made by you guys¡± Craft To my question, everyone except Efrika nods while blushing. Oh, what. Compared to the time of the bride training in Bremfai, how much have they grown...... ¡°This is the norm for a bride......bebee, be, it''s not normal!" Craft ¡°That''s right. But it seems that Nii-san, who was eating while crying, was quite happy" Efrika ¡°Be quiet I was just sleepy and yawned!" Craft I eat and taste all the dishes. Damn, just because everyone worked hard for me......I feel very happy. ¡°Yo, You guys, that......that, thank you for the delicious breakfast." Craft ¡°You are welcome. I just got a compliment from Nii-san, which is enough." Efrika ¡°Ehehehee, he is shy!¡± Meri ¡°Huh, it is the dish I made. There is no reason for it being untasty." Venu Each of them responded happily to my words, and they returned to eat one after another. Yes, the sight itself is good. A pretty girl eating in line......I think it''s very nice. But, however, the topic before isn''t overlooked. ¡°Wait a second! Somehow it calmed down like a good talk but what exactly did you do beforehand!" Craft ¡°Mugumugu¡­...mu? Hahhohohohaa?¡± Meri ¡°Meri-dono. It''s not good to speak with your mouth full." Musashi ¡°Or rather, it''s my amount! Hey Meri-san!!" ¡°Nii-san did you saw pancakes, sausages, and a trident being thrown?" Efrika Efrika asks, turning the tip of her fork towards the door that was destroyed. Oh, that''s right. It''s the story about the case where I nearly died today. ¡°What were you fighting for? Don¡¯t tell me, did you guys talk about the honeymoon Zenan mentioned?" Craft ¡°Ah, if you have heard from Zenan, then I¡¯ll keep the story short because that''s exactly the case." Indeed, it was short. In other words, Venu, Musashi, and Meri have issued their country as the destination of the trip......that''s why it has become such a dispute. ¡°Then I''ll talk it over. This honeymoon is a story related to me, is it not?" Craft Although it was suddenly proposed by Zenan, it''s okay to wait for me to get up and start the discussion. Being left out is not good, uh. ¡°I''m sorry. At first, I was about to wait for Nii-san, but somewhat..." Efrika ¡°Umu, it became a debate to narrow down the possible options for our honeymoon before consulting it with Craft......" Kaitos Efrika and Kaitos gaze at the same time. What''s ahead is...... ¡°I just thought that Baretoria is the best candidate!" Venu ¡°Venusera-dono! You¡äre not allowed to be selfish!" Musashi ¡°It''s a good time for the ingredients of Bunna in this season now! Let''s all eat insects!" Meri ¡°Haa......we got into a fight with this kind of feeling." Efrika One big sigh. Efrika shakes her head aside. ¡°The main causes are these three people." Efrika I understood the circumstances well......but am I supposed to show dignity as a good husband here? ¡°All right, guys. I have a good idea for our trip." Craft ¡°Hou, Craft. It is rare for you to be enthusiastic about this kind of story." Kaitos ¡°No wonder. I am the one who will do my best to anything that¡¯s interesting." Craft The honeymoon is no exception. All we have to do is propose a place that seems to be the best to enjoy our honeymoon. ¡°Naa, Naa? So, where are we going?" ¡°*Evil laughter*. The place I chose for my honeymoon......is there!" Craft A tropical island called the last paradise of mankind! A resort that doesn¡¯t belong to any of the five countries and is extraterritorial! Everyone here must admit and wish to go to paradise......Its name is! ¡°Hawaoai!¡± Craft ¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Hawaoai?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡± Everyone ¡°Right. It''s a great place to spend a relaxing time with everyone!¡± Craft Hawaoai, which is an island with an eternal summer because of its unique climatic conditions, it has beautifully clear beaches. I have not been there yet myself, but I once thought that I would like to swim once in the beautiful sea I saw in brochures. ¡°Hawaoai, I certainly couldn''t think of it. Summer Beach......that''s a good choice." Venu ¡°Even though the sea of Isamura is suitable for fishing and angling, it isn''t suitable for swimming." Musashi ¡°Ahaa! Hawaoai is good!! I have an affinity with southern countries!!" Meri ¡°That''s right. Sometimes it is good to tan your skin a little" Efrika ¡°I am also interested in Hawaoai. However¡­¡­" Kaitos My proposal seems to grasp everyone''s heart and the atmosphere which does not have and begins to flow to the dining room. Cool. This can''t my true aim©¤©¤ ¡°Craft, you had a lewd look on your face when you saw the brochure of Hawaoai before" Kaitos ¡°Ee......?¡± Craft Shit. The air in this place freezes by the remark of Kaitos. ¡°A, Ahaha¡­...what are you talking about, Kaitos? Who would......" Craft ¡°What do you say, Craft? I remember it well." Kaitos ¡°Even if you say you remember, it was much different than that I was looking at the brochure in the first place......¡± Craft ¡°I''m sure......¡º Look, Kaitos! This ass swallows that bathing suit! This tanned gal here has breasts as big as fire melons!¡» was it?" Kaitos ¡°Kyaaaaaa!! I don''t remember the same words and phrase!" Craft It is about the time when I traveled with Kaitos. At that time, I didn''t saw Kaitos as a woman, so it seems my true intention has leaked out from my mouth then...... ¡°......Now. Shall we decide the destination in full swing? Of course, without Hawaoai." Efrika ¡°Yes, there is no Hawaoai. Craft will try to seduce some woman in this place!" Venu ¡°It is incomprehensible that he is attracted to interesting swimsuits!" Musashi ¡°I guess Sensei was lewd after all. Can''t you be satisfied just with us?" Meri ¡°Craft. If you are cheating, I think there is no life for the affair partner." Kaitos ¡°Daaaa! Don¡¯t! I want to see a woman in a bathing suit certainly! I want to see it vehemently!" Craft I do not need to think about who the other party is...... ¡°You''re the only ones I want to worship in a swimsuit! You guys are the best wives, I might not want to look at other women!¡± Craft Everyone who was making a stir in the cry of my soul is quiet. That''s it. I would be a fool to flirt with other women when I have so many pretty wives. ¡°It, it cannot be helped. As long as Craft is still madly in love with me......" Venu ¡°It is natural. Even though I don''t like it, I don''t like confessions, let alone marriage." Craft ¡°Cr, Craft-dono, I......I, I¡äm happyyy!!¡± Musashi ¡°Fufuu, only smelly lines as usual...... I don''t like it." Kaitos ¡°Naahaahaaha! I also love Sensei!" Meri I swore that I would walk through life with these five people and have more interesting days. Even so, it''s ludicrous to jostle in such a silly story. ¡°I¡äm sorry I doubted you, Nii-san. Why did you decide to travel to Hawaoai......" Efrika ¡°Good, let''s talk about the trip later. We don''t need to decide right now." Craft ¡°Yes, that''s right. It''s only been a day since we got married......" Efrika You can decide where to travel by speaking slowly. As we concluded so, we tried to go back to the breakfast we had interrupted...... ¡°It''s not going to happeeennn! My sssoooonnnn!!¡± King Zefirio ¡°Gee! I saw an unpleasant thing in the morning." Craft The big giant who is entering the cafeteria while trampling on the remains of the door with noise.......White hair and beard, this old man with the same red eyes as me is my father Zefirio Surima Dibair, the King of this country. ¡°Well, Zefirio-gifusama. You are in a good mood" Venu ¡°Good morning, Zefirio-gifusan! As usual, you cannot wait!!" Meri ¡°Oh, my new young daughters......you are gentle." King Zefirio ¡°You don''t have to say hello to him, Venu and Meri. So, what are you doing here, dad?¡± Craft ¡°Kuu, my real son is so cold......I, I¡¯m losing my nerves" King Zefirio Do not mess up. The face of Musashi is puffed too much by feeling bad. ¡°A, Ahaha......Craft-dono¡äs father is a funny person." Musashi ¡°Good morning, uncle. By the way, you said that''s not going to happen just now......meaning?" Efrika ¡°Oh, yes Efrika. I almost forgot to get down to the subject." King Zefirio Stopping his bad manner, my father turns to us. Earlier in the newlyweds, he got in the way......so if it is a stupid story, we''ll kick him out immediately. ¡°First of all, congratulations on your marriage. It is not unexpectedly bad if I think about it, I can get a lot of grandchildren that are likely to be born through your five wives think whether to be at the same time. That''s why we''ve prepared a huge, custom-made bed that all of you can sleep in¡­¡­¡± King Zefirio ¡°Okay, hurry up, father." Craft Everyone averted their eyes from my father and return their consciousness to the breakfast. Well, I have to eat before this good breakfast becomes cold. ¡°Wait a moment please wait! The main subject comes from here! Please!" King Zefirio ¡°......Tsk, okay. Talk as quickly as possible" Craft I decided to listen to my father''s story only once more, as I restricted my conscience. I hope I will be satisfied and get out of it...... ¡°Actually, a letter from the Kings of other countries has arrived asking for an explanation about your marriage." King Zefirio ¡°What? A letter asking for an explanation?" Craft ¡°That''s right. In the beginning, we talked about choosing the best of the brides, but you chose all of them. It seems to have been a problem.¡± King Zefirio ¡°Which reminds me, no one of Venu¡äs relative came to yesterday¡äs wedding.¡± Craft Efrika and Kaitos whose parents have already passed away cannot be helped, but Venu, Meri, and Musashi have families. They were also rude families who didn''t come to their important daughter''s wedding. ¡°It is an unprecedented wedding ceremony, it would have been better prepared than that Nii-san." Efrika ¡°I know. But no matter how much......naa?" Craft When I turn my eyes, Musashi has looked down. I knew there was something about her family, but¡­...it''s not so easy. ¡°Well, good......and? What do you say to the letter that has arrived? If they¡äre coming to complain straight, it''s not a big thing if you get a letter" King Zefirio ¡°It''s not a simple story. As before, it could lead to a war if I take a wrong step" Craft ¡°Then what? You''re going to have to turn your head to each country and admit your marriage?" King Zefirio Isamura, Bunna, Baretoria. Perhaps these three countries have complained about our marriage. Kaitos is from Kurinos, but she has nothing to do with the royal family. ¡°Ah, uncle! What you were saying just now, maybe......¡± Efrika ¡°It''s a good guess, Efrika. Well, that''s exactly what I want to propose!" King Zefirio In response to Efrika, who seems to notice something, my father swings his head vertically and responds. Okay, you can tell the flow after this, no matter how much. "Your honeymoon is to travel all around Isamura, Bunna, and Baretoria and I''d like you to do a marriage greeting to all kings!" King Zefirio ¡°Haa? Courtesy call!¡± Craft Despite the word that was in the category of expectation, surprises outstrike when it is said again. It seems that Efrika were the same and all were stunned opening their mouth wide in the same way. ¡°In the first place, the marriage was suddenly decided and we greeted the other relatives. If you can say hello to the parents of the brides on the trip, then there''s nothing better than that.¡± Efrika ¡°Whether it was suddenly decided, it was due to the bride training that my father made!" Craft ¡°Nii-san. It''s a sound argument, but there''s no going to be a fuss¡± Efrika ¡°That''s it. Besides, I think that greetings to parents are important¡± I see. In the case of Musashi, even a wedding was a rare occasion to meet her father...... ¡°B, but, a courtesy call with a sense of traveling......it seems to be impure." ¡°Is not it okay? It is somewhat unnecessary to go around the world only for courtesy call." ¡°I agree. In addition, the destination of the trip could not be decided in the previous appearance. It is a good story that everyone''s hope is also fulfilled to go around the three countries, as it was the purpose of a courtesy call¡± Yes, that''s true, but it doesn''t include Hawaoai, which is what I want. ¡°I and Kaitos are fine, but Venu and the others have to put up their minds......I''m sorry. In order for the others to put up their minds and to be recognized as Nii-san¡äs wife, it is important to say hello to their parents" Efrika ¡°It is Venusera! Besides, why bother reporting now! I would like to say that I cannot put up my mind? What do you think? Ms. 301 points!" Venu ¡°Gugii!! How long are you going to say that!!" Efrika Did the familiar quarrel start as usual? This is like a routine, let''s ignore it. ¡°What are you going to do, Craft? As I said before, I don''t think it''s a bad plan" ¡°Well, that''s right. I had something I wanted to talk with and I thought that I have to say hello to each king once. That''s why I¡¯ll agree with traveling including the wedding greetings" Craft Musashi¡äs problems with her father. Venu¡äs problems with the citizens. Meri¡äs country¡äs discrimination issues. I promised to do something about these three before I got married. ¡°Wonderfully said, my son! That is why you are appropriate to succeed the throne of Dibair......" King Zefirio ¡°Ah, no more stifling! We''re done, so get the hell out of here!" Craft ¡°......It''s good. I have Leona! Leona, I will come now!" King Zefirio My father turned around with melancholy, running away from the dining room. I am afraid that my father is headed towards Leona''s room, but we finally finished the subject. ¡°By these circumstances, the honeymoon will be a trip to each country" ¡°I don''t care! It is regrettable that we cannot go to Hawaoai" Craft ¡°Certainly, Hawaoai is hard to throw away, but this time there are deep circumstances......then there are no objections? Let''s discuss the schedule and the course later, together with the means of transportation." Course? Certainly, it will be a pretty big route if we go around Isamura, Bunna, and Baretoria. If it is a carriage, it will take time, and it will be easier if it is easy. ¡°Kaitos. I think it''s time for you to tell everyone about your identity." Craft ¡°......That''s right. We no longer need to hide this secret from the family." Kaitos To the conversation between me and Kaitos, everyone except Efrika tilts their necks. I haven''t told them yet that Kaitos is a dragon, so this reaction is natural. ¡°Craft-dono? What is the identity of Kaitos-dono?" Musashi ¡°You''ll see it soon. And there is no problem because I have a special means of transportation. All we have to think about is the schedule and the course." Craft Musashi had a face that I could not understand, but I am excited to think that this face will be stunned. I wonder what kind of funny reaction will they show...... ¡°Hey, Nii-san. Why don''t you tell them to hurry and get ready for departing now?" Efrika ¡°From now on? Isn''t it too steep?" Craft ¡°Is it better for these to be early as possible? It''s not a good idea to put the schedule further behind because they will be so mad that they can¡¯t forgive." Efrika That''s true. The one who greets as early as possible will make a slight impression on the other party. ¡°So as the decision to depart today, please let Baretoria the last country we visit." Venu ¡°The last, why?¡± Craft Because it is a Venu thing, did she choose the last because it is easy to remain the most there? ¡°Huhuu, It is the enjoyment in the back! Now, if there are no complaints, Musashi-san and Meri-san, please decide the remaining order!" Venu ¡°Well, I don''t care about it in order. I don''t mind if Musashi makes the decision." Meri While looking at Venu who smiles unfaithfully, I take confirmation from everyone else. ¡°I don''t like it either. We can go to Bunna first." Musashi ¡°Then, we should go to Isamura first!¡± Craft Musashi also seems to be not particularly dissatisfied. Well, there won¡¯t be any time wasted if we are going around clockwise, starting with Isamura and the order is decided by this. ¡°Okay, then the order is Isamura, Bunna, then Baretoria. This is the order for our honeymoon......where we will go around to greet the heads of each country. Prepare your luggage and change clothes in a hurry." Craft ¡°Yes, yes yes! Craft-sensei, you said we have a transportation so how much luggage can I put with me? I want to prepare a souvenir for everyone in the country!" Meri ¡°Ah, a souvenir. Well, what about it, Kaitos?" Craft ¡°Let''s see. Five humans and belongings like changing clothes......I would appreciate it if you could do it in moderation." Kaitos ¡°You heard it, Meri. Keep it in moderation." Craft ¡°O, Ou? I''m not sure but I understand somehow!¡± Meri Do you really understand that? The question is omitted. I stopped my hand and resumed the meal before I uttered a new question. ¡°By the way, Musashi. You said you abandoned your family, so......can you return home?¡° Craft ¡°Mu? When you say it like that, it seems impossible......" Musashi ¡°They are just going to complain and I think you are loved" Craft ¡°......No, that letter was not my father¡äs handwritten, probably my mother¡äs" Musashi Musashi wrinkles her eyebrows with a difficult expression whether it is hard to believe. ¡°Anyway, if you actually meet them, you''ll know" Musashi There were a few things I wanted to say besides getting married, and it was a good chance to talk with them. Her father, that doesn''t try to meet his daughter properly, has raised her without being loved. ¡°But Craft. After we just get married, already this fancy trip" Kaitos ¡°What is it, Kaitos?" Craft ¡°Nothing. It is just an unplanned journey......in addition to that, I thought that it was a flow of your preference when it comes to your reckless greetings.¡± Kaitos Grinning, I do not know who resembled a smile on the villain side. Oh yes. It''s not like I''m just a newlywed life. ¡°Father......I married Craft-dono and I will show you my reborn appearance!" Musashi ¡°......I am not alone anymore. Yes, surely it''s okay. " Venu ¡°Naahaahaahaa! I think it will be a fun trip! " Meri ¡°Fufufu, again, I''m not bored with you guys." Kaitos Oops, I''ll correct me. It''s just a newlywed life. ¡°Nhuhuhuu......It''s going to be an interesting trip, Nii-san" Efrika I am also married to this bride. ¡°It is natural. Who''s going to stand around and idle for the whole day when one can travel!" Craft The best in this world©¤©¤ ¡°Let''s liven up, it''s our honeymoon!" Craft I like interesting things. Volume 2, 2: Alright, to Isamura! Volume 2, Chapter 2: Alright, to Isamura! ¡°What! This is also a stunning transformation!" Musashi ¡°Doododoodododo, dragoonn!¡± Venu ¡°¡®Uuhiyoo!¡¯ Incredible! A dragon! It''s a cool dragoonn!" Meri Before noon, three different screams echoed at the training grounds outside the Dora castle. The three were Musashi, Venu, and Meri who raised a surprised voice having them witness for the first time, Kaitos'' dragon form in Battle Mode while she lies on the ground. And as we decided to depart for our honeymoon, my brides and I prepare for the journey and get on Kaitos'' back....... ¡°Naahaahaahaa! Kaitos, you were a real dragon!" Meri ¡°Yes. I did not want to hide it, but there were various circumstances here" Kaitos A low voice rumbling echoes, like the roars of a thunderstorm. The smaller version of Kaitos'' dragon form has a more child-like voice, different from her alluring voice in her human form, which after being accustomed to it for a long time still confuses me to this date. Meri was not the first one to be startled. ¡°Kuukuukuu. After all this roaring is exhilarating, Kaitos" ¡°It¡¯s not like I feel good about it, but I don''t care as long you¡¯re happy" Her solid scales stands upright as with her violet wings move. Together with her long tail, her length is about half of the vast training ground, which is a amazing sight as it is said that this is a period of high praise. ¡°Do all people from Kurinos have the shape of a dragon?Or Is it that all the people of Kurinos can transform into a beast? What kind of principle does it follow? In the first place, the mass is like......" Venu ¡°It is not so unusual except for Baretoria.....hey, Nii-san?" Efrika ¡°Well, a mythical beast should be rare for Venu who rarely goes outside the castle" Craft Because Kaitos is a rare species that is considered to be extinct, it is not unreasonable to be surprised at the strangeness. Rather, Musashi and Meri have readily accepted the abnormal. ¡°Kaitos-dono! I didn''t know that Kaitos-dono was a dragon......I¡äm sorry! I¡äm deeply sorry!" Musashi Now that you mention it after the bride training was formed, I remember Musashi trying to ask Kaitos about various things about Admol dragons. ¡°Don''t worry. It''s just that I hid it on my own" Kaitos ¡°It is not straightforward. But even so, Kaitos-dono¡äs aura is normal" Musashi ¡°Is it a problem of my aura? I thought that I was a rogue person from the usual though" Kaitos Not afraid of Kaitos who returned to the figure of a dragon, Musashi touches her wings and body. Following her, the scared Venu also stretches out her hand. ¡°Hey hey, Sensei! We¡äre going on a trip on the back of this Kaitos?" Meri ¡°Yes. We will fly through the sky at a fairly high speed, so we will be able to arrive at our destination ten times faster than a horse carriage" Craft ¡°Uuhyaa! As expected after all! I''m so excited!" Meri ¡°On Kaitos-san¡äs back......is that okay? We don''t have to worry, do we?" Contrary to Meri who is excited, Venu is anxiously pale. ¡°Maybe I should have shown you my resting form first¡± Kaitos ¡°Yes. Those who understand well know that you¡äre harmless" Craft Even if Kaitos transform again, they wouldn''t understand, so let''s prepare for the departure soon! ¡°Yes Yes. Well then I will start the final confirmation before departure" Craft I always ride on the back of the Kaitos alone, so there''s no need for luggage, but this time, five people, including me, will ride on her. If we put our luggage together, we can''t just climb onto her back. ¡°Zenan! Is the installation finished yet?" Craft For a while now, Zenin is supposed to load the luggage on Kaitos¡äs body and attaching saddles and reins to get us on Kaitos...... ¡°Hoohooo, did you call me, Craft-sama? I was getting tired of waiting, this Zenan will become sad in various meanings now" Zenan Zenan shows her face from the back of Kaitos. It seems that preparations have already been completed. She is still a fast working woman. ¡°Craft-sama. I''m sorry, but I could only install up to four saddles" Zenan ¡°I don''t care. I''m used to riding, so I don''t need a saddle" Craft I have never been shaken off not even once. There is no problem, no problem. ¡°But even so, it''s the first time I''ve traveled by air" Efrika After confirming the baggage, Efrika opened her mouth happily. No, everyone other than Efrika seems to be looking forward to flying on Kaitos. ¡°The wind feels good, once you experience this feeling you will become addicted to it" Craft ¡°Ooo, it''s a enjoyment!¡± Musashi ¡°Tsk! Hey, Musashi, it''s dangerous! Or rather, put down your sword!" Craft Every time Musashi moves around, her two large katanas that are wrapped around her back clash with one another. If she carry this, then she will be in danger while flying. ¡°No, No, Craft-dono it¡¯s because the sword is the soul of a samurai, it is not easy to drop down" Musashi ¡°......Okay fine. Let''s get started" Craft When I speak, all the brides except Kaitos stand in a row and wait in order. First, I lifted Efrika up and put her on the back of Kaitos while being careful not to let her fall. At first, Efrika, was disappointed, but she went up and put her feet on Kaitos¡äs back. Everything is safe. ¡°Now, it''s my turn Craft! Hold me gently!" Venu ¡°I''m going to hug you. Charmed, come on, go up quickly" Craft I lend a hand to Venu as she was struggling to climb on top. A dissatisfied voice from Venu was heard immediately after and I ignore it while continuing with Meri. ¡°Nsyoto. Naahaahaahaa! I can climb up myself!" Meri ¡°Is that so? That''s very disappointing" Craft Meri put her feet on Kaitos'' arm and put a leap. Meri is equipped with her trident on her back like Musashi with her Katanas......Kaitos is not it heavy? ¡°Guu, Meri. Will you get on a little more gently? You are different from Venu" Kaitos ¡°Ah, sorry Kaitos! I¡äm heavy, unlike Venu" Meri ¡°It is Venusera! Please refrain from hurting those hands!" Venu Venu seems to be hiding her weapon inside her clothes, but it''s so heavy. As for the chest......well, next is Musashi''s turn? ¡°Muu, Craft-dono. I will pass this to you before I forget it" Musashi ¡°Just get up in a hurry......wh-what?" Craft Musashi has something wrapped in a red washcloths in her hands......Bento box? ¡°Is this a bento box? It''s wrapped in a cloth that looks so gorgeous" Craft ¡°Indeed. For the sake of Craft-dono, I made it in a hurry during the preparation time earlier!" Musashi Musashi talking happily with a smile. That''s why I thought that I could not see her during preparation...... ¡°......Ah. I might not be able to return home alive" Craft ¡°Wh, what do you mean by that! This time it is a successful dish!" Musashi ¡°No, that''s not what I meant......well, okay. Thank you, Musashi" Craft I receive the big bento. I noticed an injury on Musashi¡äs fingers, though I couldn''t believe it because she never had an injury during sword practice......it is totally overwhelming. ¡°Hey, Musashi-san! What are you missing?" Kaitos ¡°There is no missing! In order to be able to eat with everyone, a large box......" Musashi ¡°Hey Hey, let''s go. If our departure gets delayed, our arrival will, of course, be slowed down" Craft We will need to leave early to Isamura so that we can arrive around noon. I didn''t plan to eat for any meals or fights before we get to Isamura. ¡°Nii-san, we are ready¡± Efrika ¡°Okay. Then let''s go" Craft After confirming that Musashi is sitting in a saddle, I jumped onto the back of Kaitos. Hah, it''s been a long time since I last ride on the back of Kaitos! ¡°Now. This is the last, Craft-sama" Zenan ¡°Ah...... Zenan. Why are you still on top?" Craft ¡°Eh? This Zenan will accompany this trip as well" Zenan Come on, what is this flat-chested maid saying? ¡°You are determined to be an answering machine. I also don''t bring Leona with us" Craft ¡°......Eh? This Zenan will accompany this trip as well" Zenan ¡°Stop repeating as if you did not listen. Please get off quickly" Craft ¡°-geh- he¡± Zenan Raising a voice like a crushed frog, Zenan jumps to the ground. Hurry up and keep your joke moderately......what? ¡°Cr, Craft-niisama, zee, haa, haaa, Cr, Craft-niisamaa!!" Leona ¡°Leona, have you slipped out?" Craft Shortly after Zenan landed, Leona came running out of breath from the castle. ¡°Huu, huu, suu, haaaa......you¡äre terrible Nii-sama. Without saying anything......¡± Leona ¡°Sorry Leona. I went to see you in your room, but you were talking to that fucking father¡± Craft ¡°Yes. I was crying for more than two hours......I was in trouble" Leona Leona rarely frowns whether she is disgusted with our father''s fondest love. I wanted to help, but the moment I¡äm found out by my father I will be in trouble again. ¡°After all, you are going on your honeymoon now......Nii-sama" Leona ¡°Yes. It might become a little lonely, but can you bear it?" Craft ¡°Uu......well, I waited a year before, didn''t I? A few days......I will be cool!" Leona Leona pretends to be courageous, but she might want to stall the truth. The appearance of Leona with a red face, teary eyes, and trembling lips is very touching. ¡°......Hey Efrika? After all, Leona also©¤©¤" Craft ¡°Kaitos, let''s leave quickly" Efrika "Yes, I agree with you" Kaitos With the call of Efrika, Kaitos spreads her wings and starts flying toward the sky. As soon as she stopped, she sped up and raised the altitude at once. ¡°Hey, Efrika! At least, let me say goodbye!" Craft ¡°Do not pamper her Nii-san. Leona should start to leave her Nii-sama soon" Efrika ¡°Nevertheless we do not have to do it like this!" Craft ¡°Craft-niisama!! Elder sisters! Be careful!!" Leona ¡°......I will return this debt firmly. Insensitive virgin Craft-sama" Zenan Leona and Zenan are becoming smaller. Oh, my......ah, Leona...... ¡°Hey, Nii-san. Do you not want to reply to Leona properly?" Efrika ¡°Of course! Hey, Leona! You too should be careful about your body!¡± Craft With all my love''s thoughts, I call to Leona. I felt that Zenan also had muttered something, but I don''t care about it frankly. Gradually, their small figures slowly disappear from our sight and after we reached a height that it was not possible to hear each other''s voices, we finally stopped the climb. ¡°Ugh! It''s so awesome! Over the clouds in the blink of an eye!" Meri ¡°It''s amazing......the sky is so blue. And the city is so small......" Musashi ¡°Huhuhu. The scenery beyond the clouds is not what you can see often" Venu Kaitos is shifting from vertical flight to side flight, and started gliding on the air current, It is because there are lots of luggage and a few of the passengers are experiencing their first flight. ¡°It''s really beautiful. And, as Nii-san said......the wind feels good" Efrika ¡°I also can fly in the sky even if it is magic, but I can''t fly this high!!¡± Meri ¡°There are airships in Baretoria, but the speed is widely different!" Venu Efrika and the others express their feelings while holding down their hair from the strong wind. ¡°Good, Good. Good reaction, you guys" Kaitos That''s what it means to ride on Kaitos. It''s a great way to move faster than a carriage, and to be able to enjoy the journey. ¡°The view from up here is wonderful. The clouds that continue to be everywhere are like......¡± Venu ¡°Those clouds seem to be outrageous! Hey Kaitos! Can you eat clouds?" Meri ¡°I have eaten them before, but they were not delicious at all" Kaitos ¡°Hey you! Please do not break this romantic mood!" Venu Venu and Meri are enjoying the air travel. After a while, we were looking at the distant scenery and enjoying the feeling of a pleasant breeze in our body. Suddenly, Efrika opened her mouth as if she just recalled something. ¡°Speaking so, Nii-san. Zenan was strange......is that good?" Efrika ¡°Nothing is good, it''s strange to take her with us on this trip" Craft The recent Zenan was strangely violent, and this much revenge would be forgiven. Did she get married and I missed some things? ¡°If you treat it too carelessly, you might get a terrible retaliation later" Efrika ¡°That''s what I want. No matter what Zenan do, I''ll just lightly get over it" Craft ¡°Huhuhu, you started talking like Musashi just now. I wonder if Nii-san is influenced by us?" Efrika Efrika is showing a nice face giving off a very happy vibe, and she''s grinning at me. Nonsense. Just because I happened to say something like Musashi......what, Musashi? ¡°I have never seen Musashi''s reactions ever since Kaitos flew off" Craft ¡°She normally would say something. Is she feeling bad?" Efrika To my words, everyone stares towards Musashi. ¡°Hey Musashi. In a few minutes I will see your home country......" Craft With Kaitos''s head facing forward, right front is Efrika and behind is Venu. Meri on the left front, Musashi on the back. I was in the center of everyone, so I forgot to check the state of Musashi behind me, but©¤©¤ ¡°Mu, Musashi......?¡± Craft Ahead of everyone''s eyes. It was a samurai who trembled and closed her eyes. Moreover, while rubbing the palms of both hands, she murmured something extraordinary. ¡°Nyami Amidadukubyu Nyami Ayamida Bubu Chubu Ami Mamidakubyu Chubu Ame......." Musashi ¡°Hey Musashi. What are you mumbling......" Craft I worried and put my hand on Musashi''s shoulder. And then...... ¡°Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Ah, fallliiinnnggg!!¡± Musashi ¡°Hey! Don''t rampage Musashi!¡± Craft ¡°Bieeeeeeee!! Scaaarrrryyyy!!¡± Musashi Musashi swings around her swords which are still in their sheaths. Eee? Is she afraid of heights! ¡°Kuu, Craft! Tell Musashi not to go on a rampage!" Kaitos ¡°Oh, calm down, Musashi! I will be by your side!" Craft Musashi¡¯s violent acts shaking Kaitos¡¯ back. As it will be too dangerous, so I will try to embrace Musashi. With her panicking, Musashi can''t be embraced at all. ¡°Kyaa! Musashi-san, please calm down!" Venu ¡°Naahaahaahaa! I can not wait for this!" Meri ¡°Uu, Nii-san! Do it quickly!¡± Efrika ¡°Ooooooziiiiiruuuuuuuu! Sccccaaaarrrrryyyy!!¡± Musashi ¡°Hey, you¡äre still a samurai! Musashi, it''s me! Look at my eyes!" Craft Musashi is shaking her body like a useless child as shed large tears. Damn, I cannot hit her like that......is there no way to stop something? ¡°Tch, Can¡¯t help it!!" Musashi I caught both of Musashi''s arms, and force my face closer to her so that our eyes will meet. However, her closed eyelids will never open this way......in that case! ¡°"Heeeellllpppp! Jinuuuuumuu, muguuuuu......nmuu" Musashi ¡°............Puhaa. Hey, did you wake up?" Craft ¡°Hyaa¡­...hawaa......hoe......¡± Musashi I kissed her without hesitation, giving me no time to say something. Musashi, who seemed clueless as to what happened, focused on me with a trembling face as she blinks. ¡°It''s okay. You won''t drop off or fall, I''ll help you" Craft ¡°Ha......Hahii, Craft-dono. Not good¡± Musashi Thank goodness. She looks like she was still in an excited state with her face turning red, but Musashi seems to have calmed down a bit. ¡°I, I thought I was going to die......" Musashi ¡°Good grief! Musashi, you get a kiss from Nii-san after troubling everyone!" Efrika ¡°Huhuuh, I didn''t care because it was fun" Musashi ¡°I would have hit you" Kaitos Thanks for your patience Kaitos. I wondered what would happen at one point. ¡°Musashi, are you still scared?" Craft ¡°No......with this I am not afraid or scared as long as I am hugged by Craft-dono" Musashi ¡°I understood. Then for a while......" Craft ¡°Hey! What, are you feigning innocence? Sly, very sly!" Venu ¡°That''s right, Musashi! Please hand over Nii-san to us!" Efrika ¡°You can''t steal a march, Musashi. Craft-sensei belongs to everyone!" Meri Suddenly, three arms have stretched out from three directions grasping my cloak. Oh, this is a troublesome pattern. ¡°Musashi-san! Craft come this way, quickly!¡± Venu ¡°What are you saying Venu! Nii-san is mine!" Efrika ¡°I''ll join you! Come here, Sensei!" Meri I have to say sure enough, the three of them have embarked on a snatch. As a man I am happy, but the situation is not obediently. ¡°No! Craft-dono will stay by my side!" Musashi ¡°Tim! Ouch! If you grasp so strongly, it hurts, Musashi!¡± Craft ¡°Nii-san hates it! Please release him, Musashi!" Efrika ¡°That''s right! Craft, come to me!" Venu ¡°Good grief! Sensei, jump into my chest!" Meri The girls on Kaitos¡¯ back falls into panic yet again. It will be seriously just as it is. On Kaitos'' back which began shaking, I was prepared at that time©¤©¤ ¡°Stop it immediately, you guys!¡± Kaitos Kaitos¡¯s roar roars to the far side of the sky. The long tail of Kaitos has extended without mentioning©¤©¤ ¡°¡±¡±¡±Ouch¡±¡±¡±¡± The girls The head of four people except me was hit. The slash from the tail seems to be quite painful. ¡°Try to make a fuss again. Next time, I won''t hesitate to drop you down!" Kaitos ¡°Sorry Kaitos. Everyone, please stay quiet until we arrive at the capital of Isamura" Craft ¡°......Yes, I understand Nii-san. I''m sorry, Kaitos" Efrika ¡°So, Sorry Kaitos-san" Venu ¡°Ouch, Ouch......I''m sorry, Kaitos" Meri ¡°I am sorry......" Musashi I think it is a pity for Efrika who is caught up having fun, but Kaitos is going to be strict as the guardian of everyone''s life. I have to emulate that attitude. ¡°Ah, Kaitos. How much further is it to Isamura''s Sando castle? You''ve gone through it before, you know about the approximate time, right?" Craft ¡°That''s right. We just came into the territory of Isamura. There are plenty of remaining places" Kaitos ¡°A few dozen minutes......okay. Well then, just increase the speed a little more okay¡± Craft ¡°Roger that. The headwind is stronger now......if it weakens a little more, I¡¯ll try to increase the speed" Kaitos It became a damp air. We will arrive at our destination quickly, therefore I want to switch the mood. Besides, I have gotten a bit hungry during this trp and the bento received by Musashi...¡­ ¡°Hmm? Bento?" Craft I had it in my hand right after I left, but where did it go now? ¡°In, in such a place......" Craft Looking around, the bento box slipped down to Kaitos¡ä tail. It seems to have rolled to the other side when Musashi went on a rampaged. ¡°Bad. It was about to fall down¡± Craft It was a relief that the knot of the package caught on the scales of Kaitos. I compromise to the tail to rescue the Bento box in a hurry. ¡°Okay, I''m going to speed up soon. Hold onto the reins firmly so that you are not thrown off. Keep your face down because the wind will get stronger" Kaitos I reached the bento, and as soon as I picked it up, Kaitos gave a word of caution. Surely, no. I have to sit so that I won''t be dropped off©¤©¤ ¡°Eh?¡± Craft Abrupt floating feeling. ¡°........................EH?¡± Craft While a strangely slow feeling swell up inside me, I turn my eyes to the back. What I saw was the appearance of Kaitos flying far away at a tremendous speed. And somehow I was left behind and floating in the air. No, I¡äm not floating...... ¡°Ka, Kaaaaiiiittooosss! Uoewaaaaaaaaaaa!!¡± Craft It took me awhile to notice but the time was moving so slowly, and after a few seconds, my body continues to fall to the ground at once. That idiot! She shook me off! And went away without even noticing this situation! ¡°Dammit¡­¡­.its looking like ants¡­¡­¡± Craft Looking down below, I dropped through layers of clouds while flapping my cloak trying to slow down my fall air with resistance. There is a green forest spreading out there and judging by my current speed of falling down......I will approximately be there in 20 seconds. ¡°.....Haa. I''m not going to die in a place like this" Craft I managed to catch the knot of the lunch box while regaining my composure. And when I pull out Danthes with my vacant hand, it emits a thunder from its whole body and my whole body is strengthened without fail. The survival rate of this alone is skyrocketing. ¡°Hahihama, Hahuhehe......" Craft With my strengthened body, I decide to devise my plan in the air. Not to praise myself, but I''m happy that the contents of the box lunch that I caught with my mouth are safe as well. While thinking about such a thing, I threw myself into the mountains of trees to cushion my fall, and as I approach the forest, my eyes©¤©¤ How much time has passed since I was thrown off? Even though this is a situation where I don''t know if I¡äm alive or dead, I am dreaming normally. What? Why do I think that it''s a dream? Yes, I am now¡­...I am enjoying the sea on Hawaioai¡äs beach. ¡°Hey, Nii-san! Why don''t you come over and swim?" Efrika Efrika is wearing a bright red bikini while waving her hands toward me. Behind her, are my other wives who are also wearing a swimsuit. ¡°Craft! What do you think? My sexy swimsuit style!" Venu Black swimsuit with frills......it certainly suits her, but it is somewhat unsatisfactory. ¡°Rather than a swimming suit, this one is easier to swim with!" Musashi Her top is wrapped in bands of cloth and wearing a loincloth for her bottom. Musashi is proud of her unique swimsuit. ¡°It''s cold and it feels good, Sensei! Do you want to have a contest?" Meri ¡°If you like I''ll teach you how to swim Craft. Fufu......take a hand" Kaitos Seeing the combination of both big and huge breasts is great. Meri''s swimsuit has a pretty unique design, different from the others, but with her wearing it the oddity of it disappears due to her irregular chest. Although I have little to no knowledge about Kaitos'' swimsuit, It seems to be the correct design of Bremfai Academy''s swimsuit. The dark-blue swimsuit emphasizes Kaitos'' evil body line following up with a white name tag on her chest labeled as "Kaitos." ¡°......That ancient character is strangely intriguing, isn''t it? This is how you shake your soul" Craft I will go to the beach. My wives in bathing suits are waiting for me there. Ah, I don¡¯t have to go back anymore. Enter this sea and have fun with them. ¡°Okay, Nii-san, come over here......now, let''s have fun with everyone, okay?" Efrika Efrika smiles while her chest is shaking as if it will spill out from her swimsuit. ¡°Ah, I''m coming now......" Craft I approach the sea one step at a time as the hot sunshine lit the sandy beach. Yielding into the temptation, no...like a powerful force is pulling me towards it. ¡°It''s cold......and why is it so dark......?" Craft Every step I take, the beach gradually loses its brightness and heat, giving it a cold and dark atmosphere. There was not a single cloud until a little while ago. No, There wasn''t a sky in the first place? Neither the sea nor my wives, nor even I exist here. ¡°......Well then, where am I now?" Craft Even though it is my dream, I don''t know anything. Is this really a dream in the first place? If I go on like this, what am I going to do? ¡°Niisan, COME CLOSER" ??? Am I alive right now©¤©¤ ¡°Katsu!¡± ??? ¡°Uowaa!!¡± Craft A powerful scream cuts through the dark world. I was awakened by the loud voice that was emitted in my ear and I regained my consciousness. ¡°Uuu......what the hell?¡± Craft I whip up my throbbing, sore body and wake up. What I saw in my eyes was a giant man standing in front of me. ¡°Did you finally wake up? Boya, this is a dangerous place" Giant man The man is wearing heavy armor over his whole body and a lot firmer than the one Musashi has and completely dressed up with a full set including the helmet which is covering his head. ¡°......Old man, was that loud voice yours?" Craft Black hair and black eyes......he is definitely from Isamura. About forty years old? I think it''s hard to judge someone¡¯s real age just by appearance alone, he looks young. ¡°Really. You were trying to cross The River of Styx until I stopped you" Giant man ¡°Styx......river? What is that?" Craft ¡°The River of Styx is the boundary between this world and that world. It is said that no life can be found once you cross it" Giant man ¡°Oh is that so. It wasn''t the ocean of Hawaioai......¡± Craft Slowly, I get up and as I remove the dirt and tree branches off my clothes, I look around. I am thankful that my life was saved, but the question still remains. ¡°Firmly, I fell from the top of the clouds and only received minor injuries" Craft My body is still aching and it''s hard to say that it''s intact. My bones? are not broken. Well, this is a surprise, to think that I''m fortunate enough to live with only a few scratches. ¡°Especially in this forest, because you fell into this big tree, many branches and leaves would have offset the momentum of your fall. You were caught in those branches there when I found you" Giant man ¡°Heee? Then this tree is my benefactor......no, it is my beneficent tree" Craft I''m sorry I''ve broken your branch quite a bit. And thank you for saving my life. ¡°Also, thanks to you, old man. I guess you got me down from this tree and you pulled me back to this world earlier, right?" Craft ¡°Hmm. The life and death of a person is a mystery, eventually it''s up to you to decide. You are not destined to die today" Giant man Even though I thank him, the old man diverts his line of sight with an obscure attitude. ¡°Such is life? Well good, things have changed since I was saved" Craft After I paid the soil my respect, I pull up my beloved sword, which I had stuck on the side of the big tree, and return it to its sheath. ¡°I''m really glad that I was saved. If I had died on my honeymoon, It would have been the worst day of my life." Craft ¡°Hou, your honeymoon? You¡äre a married man?" Giant man ¡°Tentatively. Well, I''m more concerned about you than me. Who the hell are you?"¡äCraft This far back in these woods, where no man can be seen on sight, and wearing heavy equipment on top of that. Besides, he is a stranger...... ¡°Youngster, when asking for a name, you should introduce yourself first" Giant man ¡°Ah, as expected from a person from Isamura¡± Craft Even when I traveled Isamura before, I had the same kind of interaction several times. ¡°Then I can keep being a youngster. I will call you old man as well" Craft ¡°......I see? Aside from that, I am not interested in your name" Giant man It''s not always a good idea to be honest because my name is widely known and disliked. I feel guilty to use an alias towards my benefactor......so it would be a good idea to avoid prying into each other''s backgrounds. ¡°Ah, that''s right. I have a favor to ask you, can you tell me the way to Sando castle?" Craft ¡°Sando Castle? What do you want from there?" Giant man ¡°I''ve strayed from my companions. Sando Castle was our destination, so if you¡¯re going there, can I come along?" Craft ¡°I see. If I do, I will not be able to guide you, right now......" Giant man The warrior old man crossed his arms to think. ¡°I¡¯m currently on a mission to fulfill a certain purpose. No matter what, we can''t go through this forest until I fulfill that mission" Giant man ¡°A certain purpose? What are you going to do in such a forest?" Craft ¡°Rumors of a known creature. With this hand, I am tasked to get rid of this thing that is threatening the land of Isamura." Giant man The old man points to a bunch of swords leaning against a big tree beside him. Five swords with different lengths. Does this man intend to fight with five swords at the same time? ¡°Getting rid of an evil spirit......then old man, are you a samurai who is serving Sando Castle?¡± Craft ¡°............Something similar. And, as I said, I''m moving for a cause" Giant man That''s why he can''t guide me. I''m embarrassed, trying to find the road alone will be difficult since it''s hard to get out of this forest......It''s also a good idea to wait for the guys here. Just before I stopped falling, a group of trees was in the way, slowing me down after I bent and broke some of the branches. My wives will probably stop before they arrive near the Sando castle and notice that I''ve fallen off. When it comes to that, all I have is one choice. ¡°Well, let''s bring it to an end quickly" Craft ¡°Bringing to an end? What does that mean?" Giant man ¡°Like what I said. If I help you defeat that thing, wouldn''t it be faster than doing it alone?" If I return his kindness from rescuing me, then this old man can guide me safely. Recently, there was no chance to argue with an evil spirit©¤©¤demons, and it is not bad to go on a rampage after a long time. ¡°From your words, you seem very confident. Good, come with me" Giant man ¡°Lets do it! You know the story, old man!" Craft ¡°However, if you are ever in the nick of danger, I won¡¯t offer a helping hand" Giant man The old man picks up his bundle of swords and begins to walk with them, carrying it on his shoulders. I also started to walk when the old man mentioned something. ¡°And youngster......there was a box lunch over there, is that your thing?" Giant man ¡°Ah, the lunchbox! Damn, I almost forgot about it!" Craft The old man warrior pointed to a lunchbox wrapped in a red cloth, lying on the ground. I was wondering where it was blown off but it was nice to find it! ¡°That red towel, after all......" Giant man ¡°Hmm? What''s wrong with this?" Craft The warrior gazes at the lunch box that I happily picked up. Well, It''s just a big lunch box, there''s no reason to worry, right? ¡°No, nothing. Is this made by your wife?" Giant man ¡°Yes. At first, she wasn''t a good cook, but recently, she practiced and improved her cooking skills." Craft ¡°Hou, you have a good bride that I do not have any doubts about your wife''s cooking" Giant Man ¡°Obvious, right? I know I¡¯m bragging, but she''s the best wife" Craft I catch up with the old man going through the woods, making small talk as we walk side by side. I want to check the contents of the Bento box, but every time I slow down I will be left behind by this old man. ¡°Cheeky speaking fondly of your beloved one. However your wife, compared to my daughter......what a shiftless thing!" Old man ¡°Eh, does old man have a daughter? I thought you might have a wife" Craft ¡°My wife is a good woman. Her body is weak, but her heart is strong......she has the will of steel, determined to not lose to anything" Old man However, his daughter©¤©¤continued so, the old man hides his eyes with a look like a crushed insult. ¡°She is halfway to do anything. She abandons her training for homemaking without being able to do it properly and went to the Sando Castle......were she started to wield a sword" Old man ¡°Hee? Sword art training......?¡± Craft That is interesting, is not it? When I think about my wife, I thought that it was comparatively normal for Isamura. ¡°There might have been a problem in my way, too. The edge of a man seems to have been spoiled by his father, so she has been brought up severely since her childhood......but that was a foolish idea" Old man ¡°It''s hard to raise a child. Its an story unfamiliar for me so I cant give you any advises" Craft Even though there are five wives, I don''t know what time it will be discretion......sniff. ¡°And at last......my daughter got married to a guy from another country without properly remembering one of her household chores. Moreover, the stories of that guy she married is a bastard, like a beast with bad habits" Old man ¡°Uwaa, that¡¯s a story I could not bear with" Craft ¡°Totally. If that man appeared before me, I would drown him into The Sanzu River with my own hands. Youngster, do you think that it''s too much?¡± Old man ¡°A, Ahaha......No, I guess¡± Craft My eyes are not laughing at all, Old man. From his whole body there''s a chilling, sharp bloodlust leaking out......or rather, a father who lost his daughter to another man is so scary! I think Musashi¡äs father will say the same thing once I meet him somehow. Musashi''s father seems to have thought of me as a sleazy man. ¡°Youngster, you¡äre sweating a lot......what''s wrong? " Old man ¡°No, Nothing! More than that, what kind of man do you think you can give your daughter to? Please let me know by all means! Naa? Naa?" Craft ¡°I don''t know why you¡äre so desperate, but a good man to give my daughter......?" Old man The old man keeps his hands on his chin and continues his words after showing his finger cutting the neck as a symbol. ¡°Let''s see......if it''s someone who can defeat me, I will have to admit it" Old man ¡°I see, if you want the daughter, beat the father!" Craft If it is an ordinary father it is pleasing, but this man seems to be a considerable strong...... ¡°I will give sympathy to the man who married your daughter. Even if he has many lives it will not be enough" Craft ¡°Maybe. I''m going to immediately behead that man''s neck If it wasn''t for this demon slaughtering mission......fuu, this is beyond my control." Old man Perhaps, it may be better for me not to help this uncle. Unknown son-in law, your death will be on my palm. ¡°Wh, why is old man alone? Were you forced to work?" Craft The general of Isamura©¤©¤what is the father of Musashi thinking? Having men who can subjugated the demon, why are they sneaking out of the castle? ¡°Wrong. I left the castle without someone knowing......cough. No, I just volunteered" Old man Giving his reply, the old man pushed aside the branches and steadily goes ahead. Only the sound of heavy armor rustles through the vegetation in this quiet forest. I hear that there are a lot of loyal samurais in Isamura. But It seems it''s better to keep quiet.. ¡°By the way, youngster. Have you ever hunted a demon?¡± Old man ¡°Ah, yes. I don''t know how many times but I have hunted monsters with a bounty¡± Craft However, unlike any other demons, the devil beasts in Isamura have a unique ability. If the opponent is a muscle-brain then it should be easy to defeat, but sometimes you encounter and struggle with a fellow who has a strange characteristic.. ¡°Which reminds me, the monster who I fought at Isamura last time was tough" Craft Several months ago. I fought a monster serpent called Yamata no Orochi when I was traveling with Kaitos. The monster had nine heads and was strong enough that we struggled, putting our lives on the line. Kaitos burned down the heads that I severed with black flames. Convinced that I was going to achieve victory, I was on high alert, focused on defeating the monster on that night.. ¡°It is good that you have hunting experience, anyway you self conceit......muu?" Old man The old man, who was walking ahead of me, suddenly stopped and begins to rub his belly through the armor. The moment I tried to ask......guuu, I heard a familiar sound. ¡°......Ah, old man?¡± Craft ¡°Kuu......I''m still blue¡± Old man Apparently, he seems to be hungry and proceeds to looks down with. Well, I have not eaten lunch yet. Well, if that is the case, this should be simple. ¡°Hey, old man. If you are hungry, let''s eat this together" Craft The moment I lift up the wrapped lunch box that I am holding in my right hand, the old man¡äs eyes open with surprise. ¡°What? Do you mean to share that box lunch with me?" Old man ¡°Isn''t it a saying in Isamura that It would be a shame for a man to be hungry? You can''t afford to fight against those monsters with an empty stomach" Craft ¡°Fuu. Then I won''t hold back right now, but I''ll obediently express my gratitude for this" Old man ¡°This? Was something wrong? It is not a shame of a man......what?" Craft ¡°Alright. Lets eat lunch now even if it is not time yet" Old man The old man says so and take out one sword from the bundle of swords he is carrying. Next, he walked towards a big tree and©¤©¤in a flash. ¡°Fast......" Craft It was so fast that I couldn''t follow it exactly, the way the old man slashed the tree can''t be followed with human eyes. Besides that, I barely saw it extracted from its sheath, not even a glimpse. Musashi''s technique is fast and sharp, but this is by far faster and sharper. ¡°Now we have a table. It will be easier to eat something" Old man At the same time as the old man returns the sword to its sheath, with the cut from the sword, the giant tree falls to the opposite side. What remained was a stump with a perfect cut. The cut left a perfectly horizontal surface......there is no other word to describe it other than magnificent. ¡°I thought you were a ordinary person from the first glance, sorry old man" Craft I put the lunch box at the ready-made table and unwrap it. Well, the problem is whether this content is safe or not...... ¡°Uhee, after all" Craft First of all the box has four layers, I proceed to open the top cover first. Looking at its contents were a lot of side dishes such as eggs, wieners, steamed, and fried food but they were all mushed together at the edge, ruining the presentation. It fell from that height, so this was bound to happen. ¡°The second box, third also safe.....how about the fourth box?" Old man The contents of the third box, where the side dish was at the center, is shuffled. Only the fourth box with a packed rice ball miraculously remained its form to some degree. ¡°Hohou, I can see that your wife is very good at cooking" Old man ¡°Stop being sarcastic. My beloved wife made it with all of her love and effort" Craft With that resolve, I won''t waste this box lunch. I will wholeheartedly eat all of the dishes before me, even if it''s in utter chaos and leave nothing behind. ¡°Do not get me wrong. I really praise your wife from my heart" Old man ¡°Eh? Ol, Old man! That!¡± Craft I picked up the chopsticks enclosed in the package, while the old man picked up the broken eggs. He carries the broken eggs as it is and eats it all at once. ¡°Mogu....... It seems to be a little burnt, but the tastes is not bad" Old man ¡°Uncle, you don¡¯t have to force yourself separately? I will......" Craft ¡°I''m not forcing myself. My stomach is hungry so I¡äm eating" Old man Without hesitation, he continues to eat again. This time he pinches the boiled fish and throws it into his mouth. ¡°Wow, this boiled fish is a gem. The taste is wonderful, you really can fully savour its richness...... Surely, your wife would have made this bento with a considerable amount of affection¡± Old man ¡°......Thank you, old man¡± Craft My wife......only Musashi was praised, but I become happy. It''s been a long time since I''ve been praised for my own tens of times. ¡°What do you say youngster, I''m the one who needs to say thank you" Old man ¡°Well, that''s true......No, if you¡¯re going to say thank you then you should say it to my wife¡± Craft It was Musashi who made this box lunch after all. Let''s introduce her later. ¡°To your wife? Well, I''ll praise her obediently......since when?" Old man ¡°Hmm? Since when?" Craft ¡°Nothing. Moreover, if you don''t eat it, I will eat everything alone" Old man ¡°Wait a second! Originally, my wife made this bento for me!" Craft I too, reach for the contents of my lunch box, hoping that it isn''t monopolized by this old man. Oh, and she made my favorite meat roll! ¡°Youngster! It''s bad manners to eat with your bare hands" Old man ¡°It can¡¯t be helped! I am not used to chopsticks!" Craft ¡°Kaa! You vulnerable person! There you¡¯ll get it right!" Old man That old man and I sit on the table made from the stump. As we dig in, we occasionally have some arguments, making the meal tastier. ¡°Ah, you''re my father now! You''re taking care of me!" Craft ¡°Shut up, youngster! You don''t know what courtesy is!" Old man Good grief. My first honeymoon meal was eaten with a stranger. I¡®m sorry if I have to about whine this afterwards. To my beloved wives, when will you notice your husband''s disappearance? Volume 2, 3: Father and daughter Volume 2, Chapter 3: Father and daughter ¡°Hey, come on, come on!¡± Old man From the deepest part of the dark abyss, they appear, monsters who eat people. A demon called Oni attacked us, just as we were about to finish our meals. The number is one, two, three......a lot anyway. All of them howl and surrounded us. ¡°Guruaaaaaa!!¡± Oni ¡°Hee? You seem to be bery proud of your own power, but you don''t know how to handle your body¡± Craft I avoided the metal rod aimed at my head and I swung down with all of my might diverting the rod to the ground. A cloud of sand and soil arise from the impact, the dust cloud gets thicker and envelops our bodies. I kick the jaw of the red Oni by jumping, performing a vertical rotation in the air before swinging down my sword. I cut him in half diagonally, from one corner of the head down to the loincloth on its waist. The Oni was beautifully cut into two with one clean strike, slowly bleeding green blood as it falls down.. (Wouldn¡¯t there be fast bleeding and entrails leaking onto the dusty ground?) ¡°Even though it is early spring, isn¡¯t it cold wearing only a pair of underpants?" Craft ¡°Guuoraruaaa!!" Oni Immediately after commenting on their appearance, the next Oni sneaked behind me. It had a great strategy, attacking before the cloud dissipates, but that Oni ruined it with its loud voice. ¡°So in this way, you''re taking measures" Craft The metal rod of that Oni collides with my Danthes, changing its facial expression for a moment into a surprised one. With its tall and thick build, I guess that it can''t comprehend how I caught its attack while I''m half as tall as the Oni......which is reasonable. ¡°You can¡¯t only rely on your arm strength, you need ability too" Craft Purple lightning emits from my body, shining brightly in this dark forest. Using [Physical Strengthening], I strengthened both my reflexes and athletic ability, such a meaningless trick won''t surprise me. If you do it smartly and compactly...... ¡°You have to do be wiser than that" Craft Thunder magic passes through Danthes and flows into the Oni''s metal rod. Without resistance to thunder, the Oni¡¯s hands numb, releasing their grip on the metal rod and at that moment, I swing Danthes sideways. ¡°Second Oni down, only one left¡± Craft Compared to that fat red Oni just a little earlier I thought this Oni was rather muscular and massive, but they were at the same level. ¡°Hey, Uncle! How about you?" Craft While dealing with the following yellow Oni, I check up on the uncle¡¯s side of the battle. I fought three, while he had 5 Oni as opponents so I was worried©¤©¤ ¡°What, kid, you''re not finished yet?" Old man The old man is sitting on a stump and wiping his bloodstained sword with a cloth. Beside him were the corpses of the Onis, stacked ontop of eachother, that the old man has defeated. ¡°Let me see. I think it ends now" Craft ¡°Guooooo!!¡± Oni The last one of the Oni, who was my opponent, crumbles down after being stabbed in the chest. Damn it. While I was fighting three, he defeated so many of them. ¡°Hii, huu, mii......I have six and you have three. I''m winning¡± Old man ¡°......It was hard, so I can''t help it¡± Craft Besides, I am not using a gun. I handled it with my Danthes on a daily basis, but if I used a gun I think I could have defeated more Onis quickly......yeah. ¡°Well good. I knew that you weren¡¯t just a kid with a big mouth" Old man ¡°Oh. You can expect more from the real me" Craft ¡°Really? Then let''s hurry ahead. I don''t have extra time to waste" Old man ¡°Yes yes. Let''s clean up this whole place" Craft I shake the blood on Danthes of before putting it back to its sheath. Next time, it would be interesting if I encounter a stronger demon as my opponent...... ¡°That would be useless" Old man ¡°I see. Then, maybe you can tell me the details of the target soon?¡± Craft While advancing to the depths of the forest, I try to talk about the topic of concern as a conversation. As we don''t know any of the target''s features, not setting a single countermeasure will be dangerous. I guess I''m not stupid enough to concede here. ¡°Details? To tell you the truth, I only know the monster from recorded literature" Old man ¡°What, you have never seen it?" Craft ¡°Yes. According to the books conveyed to my clan, it is said that the gods were monsters when they were still living on earth. And there is a legend about a monster that was sealed by the gods in the past" Old man It''s a mythical monster. I don''t entirely believe in gods, but their existence in this world is a story from a thousand years ago. ¡°That demon is sealed by the gods, right? So, is it necessary to kill it?" Craft ¡°I also thought so a little while ago......but several months ago, an inexplicable phenomenon occurred near the shrine where the monster was sealed. Since then, I have been regularly investigating this place" Old man While saying that, the old man gradually diced up the plants that grew around to move forward. ¡°This is a story from a nearby village. The villagers heard loud explosions that began late at night and continued until the next morning. The next morning, when the villagers went to check the shrine, there were only traces of a battle and something that went on a rampage." Old man ¡°Explosive sounds all night? Hee......that is so amazing" Craft ¡°The ground was deeply guttered and the trees around it were blown off¡­..and moreover, in the center of it, was the smell of something burned. It''s a strange story" Old man Hmm? For some reason, my mind kept being drawn back to a specific word ever since a little while ago. ¡°Moreover, that thousand-year-seal ends today, its date was written in (on?) the book. If that monster escapes, It will soon......" Old man ¡°A few months ago, all night, black smoke......? No, no, no way......" Craft ¡°What''s up, youngster? There''s no time to stop at such a place" Old man ¡°Hey, old man. Maybe that demon......is it a snake with many heads?" Craft ¡°......? What are you talking about, youngster?" Old man Th, that''s a relief. I thought that it was a story of (the?) Yamata no Orochi I fought before, but there is no such a coincidence no matter how many things happened...... ¡°If you knew about it why didn''t you say it earlier. Anyway, the target is a giant eight-headed snake" Old man ¡°Waa, I knew it. Yeah, I was convinced that it was that thing" Craft That guy! I fought that creature with Kaitos! ¡°Wait, wait a second! That monster has already been defeated by me!" Craft ¡°......What did you say? What do you mean?¡± Old man ¡°The identity of the one that caused multiple explosions that happened a few months ago was perhaps the duo Kaitos and me. As we were traveling through Isamura, we descended into a forest to camp, where we were suddenly attacked by a giant snake!" Craft Kaitos said, "Houhou, it looks like a delicious serpent. Let''s fight it to eat it later, it probably will taste delicious" and the hell-like battle began. ¡°We fought the whole night, but......when it disappeared only one head remained. The other heads were all slashed by my sword......and eaten by me" Craft Such a thing can be considered as a ridiculous yet amazing story. That''s why I mentioned it, knowing that after I finish talking, I will be suspected for lying., but©¤©¤ ¡°......I see, you have defeated it¡± Old man ¡°Eh? You believe me?¡± Craft I regrettably asked for a reply that was not anticipated. ¡°I know that you''re not the kind of person who''ll spout random lies. You''re loved that much, I can tell from your wife''s homemade boxed lunch. At least, from my perspective, you¡äre not a bad man." Old man If you put it that way, I won''t be able to say anything. This uncle is too handsome. He has more charisma than my father. ¡°......However, what makes me anxious is that, from your story, one head remained. In other words, the eight-headed giant snake is still alive" Old man ¡°Maybe. Anyway, I am responsible for not knowing that it was such a big shot. I''m going to finish what I started and kill that snake with these hands¡± Craft The opponent who I defeated once. I won¡¯t be receiving help from Kaitos this time, but instead, I¡¯m accompanied by this old warrior. Together, we have to absolutely kill it this time. ¡°Well, if it has only one head, I will be able to defeat it by a margin" Craft ¡°Don''t be too careless, youngster. In the months that it didn''t show up, it would have already healed its wounds¡± Old man ¡°Maybe. Perhaps it''s all grown up already......uoo!" Craft And for a brief period, I was on the right track. Suddenly in the middle of our conversation, a big earthquake occurs. ¡°Tsu! What the hell is this!" Craft The earth is shaking and it is difficult to endure. ¡°Hey hey, I heard that there are many earthquakes in Isamura......but how about this!" Craft I manage to steer so that my body will not lose its posture, but there is no indication that the tremors will end at all. ¡°Wrong. This is not an earthquake, perhaps©¤©¤¡± Old man The violent tremor forms a crack in the ground, breaking the earth where we were standing on moments ago. The old man and I escaped to a nearby tree top, jumping quickly to avoid falling into the expanding cracks on the ground. And after finally reaching the top, I was able to observe the whole situation. ¡°......Indeed, this is certainly not an earthquake" Craft A sight from the top of a tree. A pillar of light extends from the ground to the sky. It is kind of a blessing to bother to carefully tell me where I am. ¡°Should we say that the monster has resurrected over there?" Craft ¡°I guess. Youngster, if you want to run away you can escape..." Old man ¡°Don''t joke. Originally its my prey, I will bring home the last head as a present for my wife!" Craft We jump along the branches of the trees towards the source of the gradually weakening light. There is a Yamata No Orochi at the base of it. We descend from the top of the tree and land gracefully on the ground at the border of the forest, the location of the lightsource. ¡°Yaato! This is the arrival......there is nothing?" Craft No, there is a rift which seems to be the center of the crack from the previous time. But there were no noticeable things in this plain other than that. (They jumped from tree to tree to arrive at a plain, if that is correct then I will not change it, is the lightsource located on the border of a forest and plains?) ¡°What does this mean? The light of a while ago......?" The old man who caught up with me made an surprised face and tilted his head mysteriously. That''s it. I guess there is nothing wrong with missing that light and it is certain that something happened. ¡°Hey, old man. Perhaps......" Craft Perhaps the Orochi has already escaped. I thought so, but as soon as I raised my face to consult with the old man...... ¡°......an ass?¡± Craft A white-skinned butt......reflected at the edge of sight. No, it''s an arse or lower body. There are countless cracks in this place where we are standing, but the lower body of a human who is turned upside down from one of the cracks is jumping out. It does not have any underwear on it and is buttnaked. (Inserted a little pun) ¡°Youngster? What is that strange thing?" Old man ¡°No, I don''t know. Even if you ask me" Craft As you can see, it is a small kid''s body. I do not know why it is caught in a crack at such a place, but......I should help. ¡°Hey? Small butt that is sticking out, are you alive?¡± Craft ¡°......Nu? Nnu......? Nuu! Nuuuuuuu!!¡± ??? I woke up because I heard a voice and the lower body suddenly begins to rampage. It seems to be difficult to escape by itself alone, so I suppose I should help out after all. ¡°Hey, stay still. I''ll help you right away" Craft ¡°Nuuuuuguuuuu!! Uginyaa!¡± ??? When I caught the ramping moving right ankle, I pulled her out at once in an instant. Although it may have been somewhat painful, I helped her, so she has to endure it. (He¡¯s a dick and should have seen that the lower body hasn¡¯t one imo, just delete my sassy comment xD) ¡°Kyaaa......ouch......¡± ??? ¡°Ah? What the hell, a woman?¡± Craft Surprisingly, it was a young girl not older than Leona who was hanging upside down from my hand. She has long silver hair with a unique peculiarity and a long life...... her eyes are orange. The bulge of her chest is more than Venu and less than Leona. Venu, you lose to such a kid...... ¡°Hou......? That child, she doesn''t seem to be from Isamura" Old man "Yes. She has no black hair, so she is either a devil beast or someone from Kurinos" Craft Her ears are as sharp as Kaitos, so she definitely is someone from Kurinos. However, the question remains why she is in such a place at this timing.... ¡°Shaaa!! Let me go ! Let me go ! ¡° Little girl ¡°Oops, I¡äm sorry. I will release you now, so do not struggle" Craft The girl which tries to bite me with her teeth is released and falls to the ground. Good grief, it''s not the attitude to have for your benefactor, brat. ¡°......Hey, it will be cold if you are naked. I will lend you my cloak, so wear it" Craft Well, I guess I did the same thing to (for?) Kaitos before. I feel a kind of familiarity, this little girl is similar to Kaitos. ¡°Cloak? Then?¡± Little girl ¡°What is it, you don''t need it?" Craft Even though I take off my cloak and hand it down, the little girl does not try to wear it and just stares at it with a strange look. This reaction......I feel that she has never wore any clothes before. ¡°Let me help you. This is how you wear it" Craft When I lost my temper I helped her wear the cloak and the little girl was stunned for a while...... ¡°Shaaa, warm¡± Little girl She smiled cheerfully with a smile. Ah, it''s cute, isn''t it? ¡°Give me a rest. Let me take care of this kid, why are you nodding by yourself?" Craft ¡°......Youngster. Don''t say bad things, give this child to me" Old man ¡°Haa? No......¡± Craft Faster than I reply, the old man unleashes one of his sword which he carried. The point is directed towards the little girl who is behind me. ¡°C¡ämon, it''s a joke, uncle. No matter how much you''re an exhibitionist, there''s nothing to kill" Craft ¡°Shaaa¡­¡­¡± Little girl As I cover up the girl, I hide the girl behind me. The young girl herself also knows that the old man directs his hostility towards her and is trembling while clinging to my body. Well, anyone who is the target of this intimidating intent will be like this. ¡°Youngster, if this girl is really just a kid, I will say nothing" Old man ¡°Well I know, she is not just a kid" Craft ¡°Kishaaa?¡± Little girl When the glances and eyes meet, the girl barks with a blank face. No matter how you look at her, it is certain that she is a changing animal. ¡°There is a dragon that can become a human who I know well and she is a really good guy" Craft ¡°I am conscious of such a thing. I also have acquaintances with people from Kurinos" Old man ¡°Well, this kid may not be a bad fellow, right?" Craft She is a cute looking child, but when I see this child, I remember Kaitos more than anything. It may be because her gestures and behavior are similar to those of Kaitos. And more than anything......Kaitos was a bad and funny girl in the past. So I can¡¯t help thinking that this child is just like her. ¡°Maybe......? Youngster, you still didn''t notice?" Old man ¡°Ahh? Notice¡­¡­?¡± Craft I don''t think that this old man is one to kill humans without a defendable reason. But there is no clue as to why he focuses his weapon¡¯s tip at her. ¡°......Shaa? Kishashashaa......muu?" Little girl ¡°Hey, stay still. I''m talking about your treatment now" Craft ¡°You......I saw!¡± Little girl ¡°Haa? Have you seen me before?¡± Craft The little girl nods strongly. Ha? Did she see me when I was traveling through Isamura or Kurinos before? ¡°Where......¡± Craft ¡°Beheaded¡± Little girl ¡°......What?¡± Craft ¡°You beheaded. One after another, you cut¡± Little girl Saying so, the little girl looks up at me with a dull face. Whaattt? Suddenly what is she going to say, as noisy as she is? ¡°Cut your neck? Me? That means......no way you!" Craft With the words of the little girl, all points gather together......and a single line can be seen. A nude young girl sandwiched between cracks in a place considered as the source of light. From an awkward conversation to the attitude that it seems there is no point to put on clothes. An old man trying to kill a little girl without asking questions. A face that is close to Kaitos. Ah, that''s it. No way, the true identity of this child is that©¤©¤ ¡°Orochi¡äs head, you cut!¡± Little girl ¡°Seriously, you are Yamata no Orochi!!" Craft ¡°......You finally realized, you idiot¡± Old man ¡°NoNoNoNo! I don''t understand!¡± Craft Kaitos is nice, this Orochi is nice, when they humanize they appear to change their nature and behaviour too! When we fought before, she was a hundred times bigger as she is now! ¡°Moreover, you......you have the appearance and the look of a child" Craft ¡°Give back Orochi¡äs neck! Kishaa!!¡± Orochi Pokokotoko. A soft blow that does not compare with that fierce and terrible attack from the past. Ah, reasonably. It is not against the waist but more the upper back.....feels good. ¡°Huu, It is a good massage......wait! Why are you a girl?" Craft ¡°Shaa? Little girl......? Li, Little girl......Orochi, little girl?" Orochi ¡°Yes, if you don''t know, you don''t have to think about it" Craft When I was a kid, I was taught that there is a symbol of power somewhere on the body of mythical beasts and demons from Zenan. In other words, because she lost her heads, was it the symbol of her power.....? ¡°Kishaa!! Orochi returned to be a little girl! I became a little girl!!¡± Orochi Uwaa.....Is it okay that it has become such a regrettable figure? ¡°The situation seems to have been resolved, youngster. So, you know what you''re supposed to do?" Old man ¡°Well, that would be so if I were in uncle''s position" Craft ¡°Kuubiigaaeeseeeeee!! Gabuu!" Orochi Even though weakened to the appearance of a child, the former is a demon with a mighty power. In consideration of the possibility of regaining power, I should probably take it down here. So, I know that it is right to give this little girl who is stuck to my back to the uncle and I also want to cooperate with him. ¡°But......why?" Naturally I stretch out my hand and pull out Danthes......I¡¯m a guy. ¡°Youngster, do you know what drawing a sword means?" Old man ¡°Sorry, uncle. I think it''s common sense to not hand a half-naked girl to an old man. You know, I also have to keep up my appearance" Craft ¡°Don''t joke youngster. You know my mission, so if you disturb......" Old man The old man just steps forward, but the air is tense. A true strong man is said to overwhelm enemies without having a weapon and it seems not to be an exaggeration. I¡äm competing against a real swordmaster......since when do I...? ¡°Hmm, sorry Orochi. Apparently, it''s quite difficult to help you" Craft ¡°Agumugu......shaaa?¡± Orochi ¡°Flee as far as possible. It will be noisy here in a bit" Craft Orochi who grasps my leg and wearing my cloak is forcibly thrown backwards. ¡°Kishaaaaaaaaa!!¡± Orochi I don''t have time to hdeal with your kindness now. Rather than that, such a margin©¤©¤ ¡°......Dont assault with a sword so suddenly!¡± Craft ¡°Huh, I don''t think that a person like you can be slashed with such a surprise attack" Old man Our swords fiercely collide with each other faster than one can blink. This old man attacked me when I threw Orochi away. Moreover, with a speed to leave sound behind, having a dull consciousness will lead to lose it instantly and forever...... ¡°Haa......I hate you. Really, I fight against my lifesaver" Craft ¡°If you are feeling gratitude to me, then you should quietly withdraw" Old man ¡°This is another story......don''t you agree?!" Craft I control the collision as sparks are created and push the old man away at once. The old man''s attack was terribly fast, but the weight behind it was not much. If he only brings it near me with such surprise attacks, I can throw him off far enough with my power. ¡°You endured the first one?" When the old man immediately recovers his collapsed posture, he thrusts his sword into the ground for some reason. Has he already given up? No, four swords still remain on the old man''s back. ¡°......With you now, I will take 3 swords, as I have said¡± Old man As I expected, the old man pulls out one of the remaining four swords. The result is the same as switching to another sword. I''m going to settle this matter at once! ¡°No grudge, but I''ll take you down in a shortly uncle!" Craft I attach thunder magic to my body, after having casted body strengthening onto my whole body. Although it might not be necessary in case of such a gap in ability, but it is just a precaution. ¡°Dooryaaa!!¡± Craft Earlier than the old man who just pulled the sword to attack, my slashing is imminent. This is a much more powerful blow than his just a few moments ago! ¡°Sweet little boy, don''t look down at your enemy in the middle of a fight!" Old man But in fact, despite the expectation, my attack ends without reaching the old man. ¡°Haaa?¡± Craft ¡°No time to be surprised, youngster!" Old man The old man who prevented my blow with his sword without difficulty, pushes me back every time I attacked. Even though I strengthened my body with magic! ¡°C''mon, does it make a difference switching your sword!¡± Craft ¡°It''s not just a sword. Each of my swords has a special magic¡± Old man ¡°Ah! When I think that your sword shines strangely, is it such a trick......!" Craft A geometric pattern that I have never seen before emerges from the swinging blade. My magic gun engraved with the holy letter for magic control looks like that. Damn it! It is nice that you spoiled it quite easily, but the swords that you have are all like the best swords old uncle......when you can change them over and over again it will be quite troubling! ¡°The previous sword was speed, the following sword is weight......and there are still three more left" Old man ¡°I see. Thanks for your kindness.......thanks!!¡± Craft If it is a heavy sword specialized in power, I glare at the motion that movement should be dull and I dare to step back and take some distance. The intervals of each other ''s swords are almost the same, but there is a long range attack here. Before the old man reached my distance, I used my new magic gun Angelos...... ¡°Ikuze, my new partner......hiiaa!¡± Old man The moment when I stopped moving in order to extend my hand to my gun holster, the sound of rubbing armor was heard and the old man had already swung down his sword in front of me. ¡°Fool! It''s unwise to bring out a gun during a serious match!" Old man ¡°Stop Stop! My trademark is cut a little, hey!" Craft The old man¡äs slash that aimed at my neck is avoided by lowering my head in the nick of time, however, he seems to have cut some of my hair with his slash. ¡°That kind of sissy hairstyle is outrageous! I will make you bald!" Old man I just want you to withhold from doing that anyway......so why is he moving quickly again? ¡°AH! Old man, you¡äre switching swords again!" Craft ¡°Naturalyl. Is it a waste of treasure to have to use it according to the situation?¡± Old man When I look closely, the fast sword he stabbed on the ground has been pulled out and the heavy sword is pierced into the ground instead. Repeating this he changes between fast and heavy slashes! ¡°Irritating! Then how aboutthis!¡± Craft I managed to dodge the old man ''s pursuit and attack by discharging the magical power that I put in Danthes. Power is not high, but at this short distance it can¡¯t be avoided. ¡°Kuraee!¡± Craft The lightning shock produced by Danthes emits a dazzling light and wraps me and the old man, stopping our charges. I expected that if I aim at the gap he would flinch. ¡°I didn''t think that I would need to use my third sword" Old man The old man was standing there with a cool face even when sparks attack the ground mercilessly. Moreover, a new sword is held in his hand again. Apparently, the power hidden in the sword seems to prevent the Thunder from attacking him. ¡°This is a sword with the power of defense. Although it is awfully weak for physical attacks, it will neutralize most magic attacks. Let''s just do this right now" Old man ¡°That''s all. I thought this would be cool" Craft I realized that it would be a waste of magic, so I lowered Danthes to calm down the release of magic power. Well, in this situation, the ways to win against the old man are quite limited. ¡°Is it common for so many swords to have a wide variety of abilities?" Craft ¡°No, these are all treasured swords left by my ancestors. Looking all over the continent, there are unparalleled swords¡± Old man Treasured sword... Thanks to that, I am in a big pinch...... ¡°But I''m going to praise you, youngster. The people who I fought with more than two swords can be counted on one hand" Old man ¡°I am honored. But can you win against me with only those three swords? The longer we fight, the farther Orochi will get away. Is that alright?" Craft It is not a good idea to say things like that to an opponent when you want to earn time. However, by being daring here, with luck it still is possible to produce useless conversation time as a result. ¡°I''m sorry, youngster, but Orochi that''s supposed to have escaped is right there" Old man ¡°Aguaguu......muguu? Gekoo, shaaa!¡± Orochi ¡°Eeee?¡± Craft What are you doing? Orochi! I¡äm earning time for her to run away in this desperate situation and she only tries to catch frogs with her bare hands to eat them! Damn, do you know your position!? ¡°Kishaa! Damn it! Hold on! Hold on! Kubii!" Orochi ¡°Oh, is there realization that I am fighting for you in your head?" Craft Is it still better? No really, do not discourage my motivation here, Orochi-san. Moreover, when Orochi is so close to us, next time that old man will aim...... ¡°......Back to the story, youngster, as your said, it will take a little time to settle with three swords. If so, shall we use the most efficient means?" Old man When he said that, the old man finally pierces his third sword into the ground. Uwaa, did I pull out the worst pattern in my assumption? ¡°I''ll use this fourth sword to erase Yamata-no-Orochi behind you" Old man The fourth sword is slowly released from the sheath. It seems to have the power of a wide-ranging magic attack as I feared. ¡°This sword following speed, weight and defense, has the power of magic. Strangely, it is a force similar to your sword, youngster" Old man ¡°A sword that amplifies magic. Well, when it is a sword that can match with my favorite sword, it wouldn''t be so bad¡± Craft Why do I fear the sword with wide-range magic? It''s likely I don''t have the magic or the means of defence...but the reason is that only humans attack without merit. Even if I can strengthen myself like when I fell from the sky to increase my defensive power, I can''t make a barrier for defense. In other words, there are two options when you are attacked by magic while protecting Orochi at the same time. ¡°Do I want to kill Orochi and avoid the attack or do I protect her with my body......" Craft It''s easy to let her die while being unharmed myself. But the only risk is to protect Orochi. Even if I was able to defend, I will be killed by that old man and then he will kill Orochi immediatel. ¡°Uh. From common sense, this is checkmate" Craft ¡°When you understand, please retreat. It is impossible for me to kill an irrelevant person like you¡± Old man Although he says so with his mouth, uncle''s sword mercilessly casts fire magic. The fire that dies the blade in red will eventually burn up the surrounding trees. A samurai with fire attribute magic......it reminds me of that person. ¡°Environment destruction is not good, uncle. Value nature" Craft ¡°I don''t want you to tell me about misfortune. It''s important to close your eyes on trivialities" Old man Saying it like this. Shit, what should I do? ¡°Kishaa, fight back. Kubi, help!!¡± Orochi ¡°Hey, kid. My name will be written on your head¡± Old man Frightened by the fire, Orochi came to me and cuddled to my right foot. I would like to complain about various things, but this all happened because of me. ¡°Hmm¡­...I can''t understand. Youngster, why are you protecting Yamata no Orochi? It can''t be that you have been deceived by her naked body even though you are married" Old man ¡°Well, even I have no resolution for cutting down a child who is the enemy. However if it''s an opponent that wants to take revenge against me and my precious family, I will deal with him without mercy" Craft ¡°Why then stand in front of me? What do you have from protecting this child" Old man ¡°Nothing. This one is more interesting......just that is enough" Craft She looked like one of my important wives©¤©¤a small embarrassed reason sticks in the interior of my chest. And I don''t want to see my life saver killing a kid which offers no resistance. ¡°Fuu......you''re a bad guy. No, exactly not talking about everything......" Old man I don''t know the reason, but the old man opened his mouth against my words. Zenan said, that she heard the soldiers of the Dora Castle calling me the ¡®Virgin Prince that doesn¡¯t lie¡¯ behind my back......but am I really that easy to understand as a human? ¡°Youngster, if you and I don''t come to a mutual consent......then there is no other way but to settle it. We dont need to exchange words anymore" Old man In spite of that, the old man wields the burning sword with a calm face that is different from a few moments ago. He is showing a sense of fulfillment that he had already achieved something, but......the match is not over yet.. ¡°Kishaa......wind, from where?" Orochi At the same time as Orochi looks up at the sky, the flames around the old man trail. This wind......ah, finally? I''m tired of waiting. ¡°Well, this is the end!" Old man ¡°......Hey, old man. Is this really the end, is just one sword okay?" Craft ¡°What, you don''t know when to give up, youngster¡± Old man ¡°Don''t say that. It''s a little confirmation" Craft The old man is still unaware of the wind becoming stronger. From the feeling 20 seconds......this is the last stand-off I can do. ¡°If you think carefully, is it not too cramped to use five swords?" Craft ¡°What do you say. A weapon is something like a body to me and they all have their abilities" Old man ¡°Well then, I''ll use that too. The best trump car I can have" Craft ¡°Nonsense. If so youngster, receive my strongest attack!" Old man There is no time to stop his attack, the old man¡äs sword is swung down swiftly. The vortex of flames released from the tip of the sword condenses so as to be twisted in the air, and eventually turns into a giant flame dragon. It is a technique with power that can truly be called one¡¯s strongest attack. I bet I would lose certainly in a normal case. That is why this man is strong. ¡°However old man, this match is mine......" Craft If you listen, you will hear it faintly......the strong wind. There was no need to confirm it or doubt it. I just have to trust them and wait for them. ¡°Now, we win¡± Craft Four shadows came flying from the sky to match my words. People, who I know well and love, cover Orochi and landed in front of the flame dragon, a short reunion and they began to act respectively. ¡°Naahaahaahaaa! We finally found you! Sensei!¡± Meri Meri is the first to jump down and with her trident she stops the flame dragon. She casts a wall of water that collides with the flame dragon and both evaporate instantly. The water vapor generated covers all our fields of vision. I thought that her attack was completely ineffective......because Meri would receive the remaining flame dragon. ¡°Uwaachachaii!! Aachaiii! Acyacya!!¡± Meri It seems that Meri hasn''t received much damage because she has offset the power of the flames somewhat. It was good that there was no injury and I''m relieved. ¡°Ooohoohoohooho! Good job Meri-san!¡± Venu Following that, Venu pulls the trigger of Virgil which I gave her. The released red-brown bullet clears the water vapor and flies straight at the old man. ¡°Nuuu!¡± Old man Within this evil sight there is no insane mismatch, sniping the handle of the sword that the uncle holds. His sword is knocked away by the magical bullet and swirls, dances in the air...... ¡°Haaaaaaaaaa!!¡± Musashi Musashi who jumped out of the clear water vapor takes the sword of the old man and attacks with two katanas. It was not seen during many of her matches with me, Musashi in a serious state. While drawing the trajectory of the beautiful flame, a splendid slash is aimed at the whole body of the uncle. ¡°Gaa, guaa!¡± Old man No matter how strong the old man is, he must have suffered considerable damage. Well, his armor is also broken......it sounds painful. ¡°............Striking with the back of the sword¡± Craft Almost at the same time as Musashi returns the swords back to the sheaths, the old man collapsed. No, I managed to survive. I nearly was burned black. ¡°......So? What are you doing, while the other three tried to help me?¡± Craft ¡°Nhuhuu. My job is to clean up, I am charging power now" Efrika Unlike Musashi who went towards the old man, Efrika had begun to hug me after coming down from the sky. No, because her magic is water, she should have managed to help Meri defeat the flame dragon. ¡°Nshaaa......? Somehow it¡¯s increasing?" Orochi seems to be shy towards my wives who suddenly appeared because she crouched down at the moment of that old man¡äs attack. Well, it really was a momentary event, so it can not be helped. ¡°Shaaa! Who are you?" Orochi ¡°That is my line......but its fine. I have to take care of my older brother" Efrika ¡°I''m fine. Ask Meri who has received more damage" Craft ¡°Ueeeh, please do it quickly Efrika!" Meri ¡°Ah, sorry. I''ll heal you right away¡± Efrika Efrika runs to Meri¡äs side after pulling out her cane from her waist. Because her healing skills are the best in this continent, it is safe to leave it to her. ¡°Ooohoohoohoo! Craft, I believed that you were safe from the beginning!" Venu Venu laughs gracefully, before bringing the back of her hand to her mouth. However, the face shown here was a miserable contrast to her laughter. ¡°Kimi, surely...... Safe, because...... So, I......I......bieeehh!" Venu ¡°WaaWaa! Don''t cry Venu! I''m sorry that I made you worry" Craft Whether she felt sorry for me falling down, but Venu broke down with a crumpled expression. With Efrika¡äs cane they would have confirmed if I¡äm dead or alive......absolutely. ¡°Shaashaashaaa! Crybaby, be silent¡± Orochi ¡°What! Who are you? Suddenly being rude! And why do you wear Craft¡äs cloak......? Ma, maybe this is cheating!" Venu ¡°Do not make the story-leap. I will explain it all together later, please wait a moment now" Craft As for Orochi who is amused because of Venu''s crying, she doesn''t show any anxiousness anymore. ¡°Venu, where is Kaitos?¡± Craft ¡°Kaitos-san will be waiting in the sky. She can''t come down here with all the trees and because she has the luggage, she can¡¯t change into her human figure. She is also dissatisfied playing the housekeeper" Venu That''s true. Kaitos is someone who forgets herself when she gets angry knowing I''m in a pinch......but she trusts that the others will rescue me. ¡°Alright. Lets move to an open place where Kaitos can come down for the time being. Meri and Efrika extinguish the burning trees. I will carry the old man there with Musashi" Craft ¡°Okay! Efrika, lets play a game who can extinguish the fire first!!" Meri ¡°Yes Yes. But I''m not good at magic other than healing¡± Efrika Although complaining, Efrika sprinkles a stream of water from the tip of her cane toward the burning trees. Meri also fires at the fire in the same way, there is no worry that the fire will be burning up again. ¡°What are you going to do with this kid, Craft?" Venu ¡°Kishaa! I''m not a kid!¡± Orochi Well, it should be put on hold once for the treatment of this child. But I can''t afford to stay in this place......uh, there is only one way. ¡°This girl is Orochi. I¡äm sorry Venu, but I''ll leave you to deal with her for a while" Craft ¡°Uee? I, I shall take care of her?¡± Venu ¡°Yes. I want you to take care of this girl" Craft ¡°What are you saying!! I and a child......¡± Venu Glance. ¡°Stareeee......¡± Venu and Orochi look at each other. Oh, what about this? ¡°Child, or something like that......¡± Venu ¡°......Shaa? Child?¡± Orochi Grabbing a bunch of undulating hair with both hands like a cat''s forepaw, Orochi hit herself. This girl is a clever mythical beast......I believe so. ¡°Kya, cuteee......¡± Venu Venu shook her body and mutters. And then©¤©¤ ¡°Nnhaaaa!! She is so cute! Ah, that''s right! I have candy! And chocolate also! Which one, I''ll give you this caramel!" Venu ¡°Shaaa! WaaiWaai!¡± Orochi Venu takes candy from all over the dress and pass it to Orochi. I always thought she smells sweet, so she carries many sweets with her. ¡°Here, it was solved, The last problem......" Craft¡¸ The old man fainted and collapsed and Musashi who doesn''t move too much stares at him. It may be a strangely familiar face, but for that reason it looks pretty stuffy. ¡°Hey Musashi, you improved your skills while I wasn''t looking. It was a perfect surprise attack" Craft ¡°......Craft-dono. Whats more important is that you¡äre safe¡± Musashi Even when I talk, the eyes of Musashi stay locked onto the old man and never stray. This is it. It seems that my intuition is right. ¡°Musashi, maybe this person is your......" Craft ¡°He is just an old acquaintance©¤©¤for me now, nothing more than that" Musashi ¡°Huuuh? I thought you knew him because he said he is serving the Sando castle" Craft ¡°Therefore, I......nothing......¡± Musashi It''s not about me, but Musashi¡¯s reaction is bad. Does anyone has such a painful face at a reunion with just acquaintance. ¡°Craft-dono. What I''m doing from now is a monologue" Musashi ¡°Ah, I understand¡± Craft I put my hand on the head of Musashi and patted it softly. Now is not the scene where I speak. It''s Musashi¡äs spotlight. "I have always longed for my father, I believe that this is the opportunity to meet him at least, but my father taught me strictly......as I have followed without a doubt" Musashi Not to mention the narrative, but for me......it isn''t directed at me. ¡°I believe that my father''s words are all true and when you declined the marriage proposal in the past, I said that I will do my best to become stronger" Musashi ¡°............¡± Old man There is no reply. Is he playing death to listen©¤©¤ ¡°As a result I got stronger. No, I misunderstood that I became stronger. Just in my own sense of value, a narrow world.....I restricted myself by longing for my father" Musashi ¡°Musashi......¡± Craft ¡°However that''s not all to live for and Craft-dono told me that¡± Musashi He. like me......kuu, the eyes were getting hot. ¡°Craft-dono is indeed a indecisive, lewd and cowardly brute......Ihyiiihyiii!!" Musashi ¡°Hey, if you say something extra, you will be punished later" Craft I pinch Musashi¡äs soft cheek just now and suppresses a useless faux pas. It may not be heard, but if asked, it''s going to be a hassle. ¡°Uuu......anyway, Craft-dono showed me a new way. As there are various forms of strength, I should live as I wish" Musashi Musashi, whose cheek was released, continues talking with a slightly shy expression. ¡°Therefore, I¡äm not going to regret our marriage and I don¡¯t intend to leave from Craft-dono¡äs side. Even if my father opposes the marriage, I will stand up for it!" Musashi There was no hesitation or confusion in her voice. ¡°I will overcome it together with Craft-dono and the others! Thats what I''m aiming for, now you¡äre my strength!" Musashi The statement of Intention......or a declaration of war? Musashi who put her feelings out in the open from the depths of her heart turns around while clenching her trembling fist. ¡°My monologue ends here. Let''s go, Craft-dono" Musashi Musashi who is desperately trying to strengthen herself squeezes out a trembling voice. After all this old man......is her father. ¡°......You okay? You were able to meet him after a long time" Craft ¡°I¡äm fine. Whatever the reasons, those who turn their blades towards my dear Craft are enemies. Even if it is......my real father" Musashi Musashi, I am thankful for that straight feeling......don¡¯t you feel refreshed while holding back with each other like this? ¡°Hey, Uncle! How long are you going to pretend to be asleep" Craft Musashi¡äs dad shows a small reaction to my call. It seems that he was awake, as he glares at me. ¡°You promised me, didn''t you? You¡äre going to say thank you to my wife for the lunch box" Craft ¡°Craft-dono? What on earth are you talking about......?" Musashi ¡°Just shut up and wait. It is a promise that a man must fulfill" Craft When I keep on......after a little silence, the old man finally shows a big reaction. Raising his upper body slowly from the back, he looks at Musashi. ¡°......Musashi, you said?¡± Old man ¡°! Yes!!¡± Musashi ¡°I got a share of the bento you made. It was to my taste, and it was the same as the dish that my wife had made when she was young. In the future......you will be a better wife than you are now" Musashi¡äs dad To the compliment which she didn''t anticipate, Musashi is rigid with a stupid expression. ¡°Fa, Father......¡± Musashi Over and over again......she dreamed of some time with her father. The overflowing feelings can''t be endured at last and a tear flows down Musashi ''s soft cheek. ¡°For the future......your father has no son and as I¡äm old now, I must say it. You might think it''s nonsense, but can you hear me out?" Musashi¡äs dad ¡°Hiiku, father, father......guzuu, yes......!!" Musashi Musashi nods powerfully and her voice returns to being one filled with kindness and warmth. There were only two people in this own little world of a reunion and their feelings were enough to fill the endless space. ¡°Your father is proud of the current you. Your heart and body have grown so well" Musashi¡äs dad A carefree laugh and Musashi¡äs dad spills out the feelings that he had accumulated for a long time...... ¡°......You got stronger, my daughter" Musashi¡äs dad The growth of his beloved daughter......he finally acknowledged her strength. Musashi, who said that she never received a straight compliment from her father, has finally©¤©¤ ¡°Unnecessary words......higuu, but......zubi, I will accept them!" Musashi Musashi with a wet face and a runny nose leaked a sobbing voice while running away. I would have wanted to hug her right now. They are so stubborn......is it out of shame or pride? Anyway, this might be good for those two right now. First of all......this is the first big step. ¡°Old man and Musashi...Isamura people are still stubborn" Craft ¡°What did you say. You who didn''t hand over that big snake which is my aim is quite the stubborn one" Musashi¡äs dad When Musashi¡äs dad says so and stands up, he starts collecting his swords that are stuck in the ground. Even though he received an attack that could crush his armor, he still can move......what a monster! ¡°Well, in the middle I became aware of it somehow, uncle wasn''t fighting seriously" Craft ¡°Hou? Why do you think so?" Musashi¡äs dad ¡°If uncle was serious, you would have cut off my head with the first sword, right?" Craft It is a confrontation with a close start in such a small place. It''s only a miracle that I earned that much time against this old man. As a result, the reason is somehow understandable. The old man might not have intended to kill Orochi which became a girl from the beginning. On top of that, he was trying to test me with his swords, because I¡äm Musashi''s husband. ¡°Come on. Even if I wasn''t serious......the fact that I was defeated doesn''t change" Musashi¡äs dad As he finished collecting his swords, the old man begins to walk in a different direction from Musashi. Does he means that there is no use to be here anymore, did he gave up the matter with Orochi? ¡°Is it okay old man? Your target is staying with my wives" Craft ¡°It''s fine. It is not necessary to kill her, because Yamata no Orochi is now weak. If she regains her power and goes on a rampage......I won¡¯t show any mercy then" Musashi¡äs dad ¡°Well then I''ll take Orochi" Craft ¡°You like her. However, no matter who you help, I have the responsibility in the end" Musashi¡äs dad The old man keeps saying so and starts walking towards the exit of the forest. ¡°Wait a minute, uncle! Isn''t there something else?" Craft In a panic, when I stop him, the old man turns around with a monstrous face. Don''t look at me like that, because this is the real issue. ¡°Emm......I''m sure your daughter will be happy. So please forgive me and give me the permission for marriage" Craft I am in a fearful attitude, but I bow down©¤©¤to Musashi¡äs father. My heartbeat accelerated with the tension and I¡äm feeling hot as my whole body burns by shame. If he can''t accept this......what am I gonna do? ¡°To make her happy......¡± Musashi¡äs dad The eyes of the old man overlap with me and start to loosen as if time is frozen. It is dangerous. I''m so nervous that I''m going to lose teeth because of the tension from my yaw. ¡°Huh, Haven''t I told you before? I will sink my daughter''s marriage partner into the Sanzu river" Musashi¡äs dad ¡°A, ah, was it so......? Aha, ahahaha......¡± Craft Uoeepu. His words. Not good, it is over...... ¡°But......I right now have no power left to kill you. Unfortunately" Musashi¡äs dad ¡°Ee?¡± Craft I endured to not throw up Musashi¡äs bento that crawled up my throat and I raise my face. ¡°Let''s assume that the fight is a chance. Until then, the most important thing for me......my daughter is entrusted to you" Musashi¡äs dad ¡°Another chance, perhaps uncle accepts our marriage......?¡± Craft ¡°You are planning to go to other countries from now on as well, right? If so, don''t stay too long in such a place and go to the next place" Musashi¡äs dad Is he embarrassed, Musashi¡äs dad keeps speaking while embarrassingly shaking his fingertip. ¡°Next time we meet, get stronger, to beat me with your own strength. If so......I will voluntarily guide you through Isamura" Musashi¡äs dad ¡°Yes! Next time, I''m sure I will defeat you alone, uncle" Craft ¡°Fuu. At that time I will show you my fifth sword©¤©¤until then, youngster" Musashi¡äs dad Musashi¡äs father turned around while raising his right arm high and left to the depths of the forest this time. Looking at his good-looking back.......even I was mesmerized. ¡°Thank you very much¡± Craft He may not be able to hear me anymore, but I just say thank you again. When I meet him next time, I will be able to respond to his expectations firmly. Wait for me. ¡°............alright, go quickly to chase after those girls¡± Musashi¡äs dad We talked so long that I kept them waiting. I hurry up and start running towards the direction where my wives are. ¡°Hey! I''m sorry for being late!¡± Craft ¡°Mou, how long will you let us wait, Nii-san. Kaitos was noisy since a little while ago" Efrika I had joined my wives within a few minutes and they gathered in a open place of the forest. At the center Kaitos in her giant form rests her wings and everyone seems to be waiting for me to arrive, but......there was one worrisome point. ¡°What the hell, Kaitos? Do you have such a weird face because you¡äre depressed?" Craft It is unusual for her to have moist eyes to such an extent that it seems she cried. I instinctively wanted to point it out......but I could not do that. ¡°Naturally, you big idiot! I thought that I killed you, who is my most important person!" Kaitos ¡°Uowaa! Don''t scream so loud! I will be scared!" ¡°Mou......Kaitos.Like I said many times, everyone is at fault" Efrika ¡°But it was me who throw him off......¡± Kaitos Even after receiving Efrika''s comfort, Kaitos seems not to be convinced. ¡°Oh dear, I''m glad you think that far......but I don''t want to see you so depressed" Craft ¡°Craft. Indeed, you''re not......" Kaitos My words sounded like coming from heart and Kaitos shakes her tail with a boom. She seems to be in a good mood now, so it will be fine. ¡°Naahaahaahaa! Hey Craft-sensei, are we heading to Isamura¡äs castle now?" Meri I looked at Kaitos¡äs big smile and started laughing cheerful as everyone else felt relieved. At last, we are together again. ¡°Nope. Even if we go now, Musashi''s father will be absent, so let''s end this day" Craft ¡°Is that so? But then, the main subject......" Efrika Efrika is uneasy about our original purpose of marriage greeting not be fulfilled. I can''t believe that the old man who killed those ogres in a few minutes is Musashi¡äs father. ¡°Don''t worry. If it''s my father, he will definitely understand it" Musashi ¡°Musashi is right. If you talk about it unexpectedly, he will understand, maybe¡± Craft ¡°I don''t understand it well, but if Craft says so, there is no problem" ¡°That''s it. So, lets start preparing for travel for the moment¡± I''ve been in a dark forest for a long time, so I want to go somewhere else. After I said so, everyone climbed on Kaitos¡äs back at their own pace. However, Venu seems to have noticed some anomalies...... ¡°Hey, what''s wrong, Orochi-chan? You have been scared for a while now" Venu ¡°Shaa......big, scary¡± Orochi Orochi clings around Venu¡äs waist with agitated hair while being embrace by Venu. I thought she was awfully quiet, but......she pointed at Kaitos for some reason and cried. ¡°What is with that child? I can''t see her face" Kaitos ¡°Hiii! Sorry, sorry! Don''t eat, don''t eat Orochi¡äs head!" Orochi Don''t eat......? Oh, yeah! We used to eat Orochi¡äs heads before. That''s why Orochi is so scared to see Kaitos. ¡°Speaking of which, I haven''t heard the details yet. I would also like to know how you fought with that samurai......Nii-san, could you talk to me?" Efrika ¡°At another time. But it''s fine to go to the next destination" Craft ¡°Okay. Hey Orochi-chan, be a good girl and ride with me together" Venu ¡°Kishaaaaa!! No, No, No, No, No! Scary Scary Scary!" Orochi I follow everyone and jump on Kaitos with Venu who climbs up while hugging Orochi. ¡°KuuKuu. It smells delicious somehow.....this is the smell of a snake" Kaitos ¡°Oh, snake! The Anaconda of Bunna is excellent!" Meri ¡°Sha, Shaa¡­...Orochi doesn''t taste good. Don''t eat me......¡± Orochi ¡°Kaitos, Meri. I''m sorry, but will you please be quiet until I finish explaining?" Craft The greedy Katios is interested in that meal. Now, how to explain. It seems to be longer to explain from scratch......well, we still have a lot of time. ¡°We finally got together. Let''s continue our honeymoon so that we don''t lose time" Craft ¡°Yes. Dont let me worry so much anymore, Nii-san" Efrika ¡°I will do my best. But for me, I think that this promise won''t make sense" Craft ¡°Must. If you try to worry about Craft properly, you won''t have a heart" Efrika I''m sure you know it very well and soon Kaitos spreads her wings. ¡°Let''s go, everyone. This time no one shall be thrown off, grasp firmly" Craft Remembering her previous remorse, Kaitos began flying after confirming that everyone was holding on properly. Slowly......at first the flapping speed increases and Kaitos floats in the air. Raising the altitude as it is, in the meantime we also quickly overtake the trees of the forest and jumped high into the sky. Oh, it''s been a couple of hours.......but after all the sky is comfortable. ¡°Shaa! Tall, tall!¡± Orochi Orochi who experienced her first large sky seems to be afraid and forgets her fear of Kaitos. ¡°Fufufu. Can I fly higher?" Kaitos ¡°So big! But, don''t eat my head......¡± Orochi ¡°Head? What are you talking about?" Kaitos You seem to be getting along somehow. They are similar to each other. ¡°Naahaahaa! Next goal is Bunna!¡± Meri ¡°Is the arrival in the evening? I''m afraid we will spend the night in Bunna" Craft It was originally planned to stay one night in Isamura, but right now we aim for our next location, Bunna. For the sake of Musashi, I think we should have done some little sightseeing. ¡°Musashi......we could hardly stay in Isamura this time, but we''ll come back soon" Craft I say so instead of saying that I have an appointment with Musashi''s father. Therefore, Isamura¡äs sightseeing should be done slowly at that time. ¡°I really appreciate it. But, you dont have to worry about it" Musashi To my proposal, Musashi stares at the far away scenery and feels happy. ¡°Everything I want is here. My beloved partner, my important companions, and©¤©¤"Musashi Musashi put her hands on the chest from above the armor. ¡°The thoughts from my father are here" Musashi ¡°......Yes. I¡äm feel the same¡± Craft It is necessary to fulfill the promise of a match when meeting Musashi''s father next time. However, it seems to be hard to let her father unsheat his fifth sword. ¡°I''m training a little, so that I¡¯ll become even stronger......" Craft ¡°Ah, speaking of which, Craft-dono! After finishing the lunch box, where is the package?" Musashi ¡°Lunch box? Oh, did I leave it behind?" Craft Hmm, until I''ve defeated the Onis, I should have had it......did I drop it at that place where I found Orochi? I don¡¯t remember seeing it since I fought with that old man. ¡°Was it something important?" Craft ¡°No, it is not. It is one of the clothes that my mother gave me when I came for the bride training......but there are still other ones" Musashi ¡°It still is an important thing. I''m going back to fetch it" Craft I try to talk to Kaitos in a hurry, but Efrika interrupts me. ¡°Okay, Nii-san. I collected it properly and gathered it together with the luggage" Efrika ¡°Oo! Efrika-dono! How can I say thank you!" Musashi ¡°I just found it by chance, so don''t mind. And that washcloth, it has a very wonderful color" Efrika Certainly, that vivid hue did not seem to be a average washcloth. ¡°It was woven by my mother! Since I was young I was told that it was a something special for father¡¯s lunch made from my mother......thereupon, that......for Craft-dono" Musashi Is it embarrassing to say it, because she is jealous? I want to recall such a cute moment......wait? ¡°That wrapping was for Musashi''s father, that uncle......did he notice it from the beginning? " Craft That uncle seemed to have seen the lunch box when he helped me from the top of the tree, there is no mistake. ¡°From beginning to the end, I was tested by that old man......hahahaa" Craft When I recalled the things we had talked about on the road, I could cry to my own stupidity. ¡°He has a nice personality, that old man" Craft ¡°What are you talking about, Nii-san? Look, over there!" Efrika Meanwhile, my wives who did not know such circumstances enjoyed the scenery of Isamura which can be seen from the sky. ¡°Shaa!! A house in the mountains!¡± Orochi ¡°Ah, it''s true¡± This mountain shrine is a symbol of wealth in Isamura. Everyone is unconsciously deprived of its beauty. ¡°Hey brother, there is such a good view of the scenery......tell us what happened" Efrika ¡°Eehehee! I wonder how Sensei who fell from the sky was saved!" Meri ¡°Umu. I¡äm also curious¡± Venu ¡°Ou, I suppose I should speak about it soon. I want to talk to you about that child there first" Craft Our air travel became more lively with a new companion. In the first country alone there was such a turmoil, but our honeymoon has just begun. The remaining locations are Bunna and Baretoria. What difficulties will we have in the future? ¡°First of all, I pulled out my sword to save myself......" Craft I was so excited about the future that I started to talk about what happened.©¤©¤ Volume 2, 4: Feast of the Magic Country Volume 2, Chapter 4: Feast of the Magic Country The country that once brought the wisdom of magic across Rusanas......Bunna. Borders which are surrounded by a natural forest, their inner life perceived to be mysterious and often targeted with unfair treatment due to it¡¯s recognition, a lifestyle supported by magic without relying on machines seen to be primitive by citizens of other countries. However, if one would actually visit Bunna, the image of a previously viewed as barbaric lifestyle will undergo severe change. Magic never inferior to mechanical technology is what Bunna calls it¡¯s own. ¡°Huu, it took longer than I thought" Craft ¡°Naahaahaahaaa! I finally came back! My hometown!" Meri The sun goes down and a dark night conquers the sky as clouds partially refuse to let moonlight pass to illuminate the earth below. Riding on Kaitos¡äs back and gliding through the air, we passed through the great forest, before we finally landed in Bunna. ¡°Wonderful......I have heard rumors, but it''s better than I imagined" Efrika It was a street lamp shining around the whole area that captured Efrika¡¯s fascinated stare. The only city in Bunna, the capital Ergion. The magic stones used for the lamps in Ergion have a characteristic that lets them emits a natural, warm light unlike street lamps installed in Baretoria as well as Dibair. Individuality in the color of the light and it¡¯s luminosity and other factors in the magic stone, the innumerable unique lights mix when seen and form a unreal and fantastic painted ambiance.....it is a beautiful scenery. ¡°Craft......I''m sorry but please let me rest for now" Kaitos "Oops, thank you Kaitos. Please rest on my shoulder for a while" Craft After we finished loading off our luggage from Kaitos¡äs back, Kaitos who seems to be a little exhausted soon changed her body to her resting form and jumped onto my shoulder. ¡°¡±¡±Small lizard¡­¡­?¡±¡±¡± Musashi, Meri, Venu Musashi, Meri and Venu who saw Kaitos¡äs resting state for the first time mutter such at the same time. Yup. That reaction is not wrong. So don''t growl so much, Kaitos. ¡°Cough. Hohoo, people from Bunna are using strange vehicles degozaru" Musashi¡¸ Musashi who dispersed the awkwardnes narrows her eyes while exhaling a breath of admiration. The figures of people who are flying in the sky with a broom look really fantastic, especially in a city during nighttime that shines in rainbow colors. As everyone is dressed in Bunna''s ethnic costumes with a lot of skin exposure like Meri, I am quite glad to have my point of view. "However......are the men a little forceful?" Craft ¡°Hehehee, what do you think! Bunna is a really good country! I will show you, so please come along with everyone!" Meri As I look away from half-naked muscle Macho Mans, Meri cuts ahead with an excited face and starts walking. No wonder, it can not be helped but please wait for a moment. ¡°Stop Meri. I want to do sightseeing, but there are more important things than that" Craft "That''s right, Meri! First of all, we have to greet Meri-dono''s family" Musashi "Uu! Th, that''s right, I''m sorry, the excitement has got to me" Meri Well, I''m sorry, Meri looks down depressed. Even though she finally came back home, she couldn''t show us the city. Then suddenly, Orochi who had been quiet behind us opens her mouth. Literally©¤©¤a wide opened mouth. ¡°Kisyaaaa!! Lizarrddd!! Gabuuu" Orochi "Ouch!! W, What are you doing, Orochi! Don¡¯t bite my head!" Kaitos Orochi who jumps from behind and hits the kite which was resting on my shoulder. Even though it was a messy battle situation......is it okay to be in your resting form? ¡°Headache......aguagu" Orochi By the way, Orochi was naked before, but now she is wearing a firm orange poncho. While moving from Isamura to Bunna, this large poncho made by Efrika for dexterity is exactly right to hide various parts of Orochi who isn''t wearing any underwear. ¡°......Help, chuuchuu......chuuu" Orochi "Nmuuu? Somehow I hurt her head......my strength did not lose" Kaitos What a fellow, Kaitos is. She doesn''t resist.... ¡°Shaaa, more and more......!" Orochi "Hey, Orochi, eat this instead of Kaitos" Craft Orochi who keeps Kaitos¡äs head between her lips mutters something like a squirrel nibbling on a nut. I patted her back and encouraged her to leave Kaitos alone by putting cookies in front of her. I guess I have to discipline her a little more. ¡°Muu¡­¡­¡­...shaaa? What is this? Is it delicious?" Orochi ¡°Well, I don''t know if it suits Orochi''s taste" Craft For a moment, it seemed that Orochi looked cranky......it seems to have been my imagination. Orochi takes her mouth off Kaitos and takes a cookie from my hand. Orochi was staring at the cookie in her hand for a while, but after sniffing the smell, she opens her mouth without blundering. She seems to like it. ¡°Hey, Nii-san, why were you carrying a cookie?" Efrika "It''s a thing for Kaitos, not as good as Venu, but I always carrie them with me for special cases¡± Craft When Kaitos is hungry and I don''t have something to eat, my head will be sacrificed instead. In order to protect myself, these sweets are necessary. ¡°Aguagu......shaaa!! Oihiii!¡± Orochi ¡°Kuu, Orochi! That''s mine! It is my cookie!" Kaitos "Hey calm down. I also have one for you, good grief" Craft I put a cookie in Kaitos¡äs mouth as she was having teary eyes, before I call Meri out. ¡°Hey Meri, is your house near here? To be honest, I don¡¯t know this place here" Craft There are many houses built by using wood and some types have hollowed out the inside of trees and some are treehouses. It can be said that it is a custom that is integrated with nature in a good way, but thanks to that each house is quite similar. Because there are no easy-to-understand buildings such as Dibair¡äs Dora castle and Isamura''s Sando castle, it is impossible to find where the chief lives. ¡°Hmm......My parents house is right there. It''s a bit odd!" Meri "What? Is there something strange?" Craft "There are too few people in the town.The people flying in the sky are heading somewhere" Meri While narrowing her eyes, Meri is looking up at the people who fly in the sky. Certainly as Merry says, the people flying on brooms are flying in the same direction. ¡°Besides, I feel that the air is thin" Craft "Thin air? I think that the more nature there is, the more denser the air is......" Meri Ergion is surrounded by a large forest and all houses are wooden buildings. But what? The flowers growing around here seem to be somewhat withered. ¡®¡¯There seems to be a voice in the distance¡­¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Let''s chase after those people and look what there is!" Meri In any case, there are no other options than to go forward. We will hurry to proceed through the city so that we won''t lose sight of those who fly through the sky. Along the road, the flowers and vegetation that should be blooming on the ground seemed without energy. It is not autumn or winter, is this the whole time......? ¡°Th, the lights gradually became stronger......I can hear voices" "Ah, this is the way to the Great Plaza. Sensei, everyone seems to be gathering there!" Meri "Great Plaza? Ah, there was something close to that when I came to Bunna before that" Craft There is a shrine dedicated to something and which is usually used for banquets......hmm? Banquets? ¡°I see it degozaru! The voice from the tip of the corner©¤©¤" Musashi Here, Musashi who was too quick makes a sudden brake and stops. ¡°Hey, what is this......?" What we saw as we came afterwards......should I say as expected? ¡°Aaaaa! As expected! Everyone was doing a feast! Zuriiyoo!" Meri As Meri shouted so loudly, a grand party was held at the Great Plaza. While alot of people crowd together, they drink a cup of alcohol and the cooking is lined up side by side over a cloth laid on the ground. It''s good to have fun, but...... ¡°Naa slyy? What are you talking about, girl......ah, Meri!" Drunk man 1 "What? Oh, it''s really Meri! Everyone! Meri is back!" Drunk man 2 Two drunk men who happened to notice us, blinked with their eyes as they saw Meri¡äs figure. No, it is not just Meri...... ¡°Then the person next to you is the Prince of Dibair?" "Well, he is different from the rumors I heard about Prince Craft. He is quite good-looking!" "I like that red-haired sister, but that black-haired samurai is also nice!!" It seemed like we were completely put in their eyes, and the big square is wrapped in a frenzy in an instant. That? It seems that we are welcomed......and that we are embarrassed. With the roar of kicking the earth, something popped out in front of me. ¡°Uushaa! There is a monster shaaa!!" Orochi "Mumagaa!" Craft I should have avoid it while I still could avoid it, as I was pushed down by something with overwhelming mass. Something like a soft cushion is pressed on my face and as I stroke it to resist it, it sinks and changes its shape. No way......what is this? ¡°Nhaaa! Grabbing my precious chest so suddenly, you sure have guts!" ??? Wow, boobs! The object covering my face were huge breasts!!! ¡°Deeeeeeee? De, Deheeeeeeeee!! Whaaaattttt!!" Craft Finally free from the state of restraint, I re-confirm my situation again. Bunna''s inhabitants were onlookers and a woman who jumped out suddenly pushed me down with her chest. The woman has a hairstyle similar to Meri and her skin is brown. Her clothes are a skimpy costume peculiar to Bunna and there is no place where it changed. Fine. So far so good......but the problem is the size of her breasts. They are so huge that I can''t express what I''m saying. Too plump tits. When I think that Efrika is big and Meri is huge......these breasts are exactly magic boobs! A bigger chest than that of Meri. What will be with Zenan and Venu? ¡°............Auaa¡± Venu ¡°Uu! Venu¡äs......soul is falling out" Efrika From the shock of witnessing the magic boobs, Venu faints while standing. No, everyone, even Efrika is dumbfounded. ¡°Impossible......what is that chest? What do you mean? What is with Zenan and Venu?" Efrika "Even if its a straw, if you remove the armor there will be something......" Musashi Musashi is in her princess-like mode completely unlike Efrika who has a mental breakdown. ¡°Kishaa, big boobs!! Monster!!" Orochi "Hou, my chest isn''t that huge......" Kaitos It seems that Orochi and Kaitos are comparatively cheerful. And the only one that can compete with these magic boobs......is Meri. ¡°Naaa! What are you doing! Craft is mine!!" Meri "Uootoo! Hey Meri! Do you feel like killing everything?" Unknown woman The surprise blow of the trident which Meri did is caught with one hand easily and the woman¡¯s other hand grabs Meri. You idiot, how did you get that powerful blow? No, when I look closely she covered her right hand with a rocky mass. This is......strengthening magic of earth!! ¡°Aitatatatatata!! Sorry, sorry mama! Please forgive me!" Meri "Huhh, I''m not going to fight against a chick who hasn''t grown up yet!!" Meri¡äs mother Eh¡­¡­? Mother? Is this Meri¡äs mother? ¡°Even if I look at her who seems to be in her early twenties......is she really your mother and not your elder sister?" Craft "Nyaahaahaahaa! You say something wonderful Zefirio''s son!! With magic I keep a young body! Though these huge breasts are natural!!" Meri¡äs mother Meri''s mother who takes her hand off Meri shakes her breasts with both hands. Uh this, this is so wonderful......what, Zefirio¡äs son? ¡°Umm, Meri''s mother! Now¡­¡­" Craft "Please stop it! Please don''t be so cramped and call me Igina" Igina "Ah, yes. Well, Igina-san......do you know my father?" Craft She calls him Zefirio and not King Zefirio. I thought it was awful, but...... ¡°Yes, we¡äre acquainted. Not only him, but I¡äm also old friends with the General of Isamura, the King of Kurinos and that disgusting Queen of Baretoria" Igina Igina-san says something ridiculous. Father, you have not told me such a thing at all...... ¡°That said, we had a decent relationship until about eighteen years ago" Igina "About 18 years ago? That......" Craft "Ah, since you were just born around that time, you don''t know, right?" Igina Igina-san shook her head vertically while fingering with her flower hair ornaments. And in a sudden turn, her arm is wrapped around my neck and she begins to whisper into my ear. ¡°Well then I will tell you later on the bed......about everything from the past" Igina "Mou!! Craft is my husband!! You can''t do this!!" Meri Meri comes in between us and pulled Igina-san away who has started saying something to me. Honestly, I was too thrilled to catch what she was saying. ¡°Chii, nice punch. Anyway you are a beginner and still have no reason? When I was at your age, I and that man took our clothes off every day......" Igina Igina-san......this is something unique. It is natural to say of course that the country of origin is different, but I feel like the values and ethics are totally different from mine. ¡°Ah, Igina-san. What is this banquet for?" Craft "Well......it''s a banquet to celebrate your marriage!!" Igina ¡°Eh? But you send a letter where you oppose our marriage......?" Craft "That''s right! Because of that letter, we came to this country degozaru!" Musashi It seems that Efrika and Musashi are reviving unprecedentedly. I forced myself to forget the story and it was Igina-san who seemed to be cool and cheerfull. Is she willing to give us permission to marry? ¡°One boobs......two boobs...... three boobs......" Venu Venu is not likely to come back for a while. That''s not good. ¡°A letter? I dont know of that? If its about Meri, she is a virgin!" Igina "St, Stop it mama!! Dont say something stupid!!" Meri "But before long, we will make child......hiii!" Craft A huge trident is pierced at my feet. Yes, nothing. ¡°Mars-ojiisan also disagrees, don¡¯t you think you¡äre misunderstanding?" Meri "I wonder if that''s the case? But I do not think that Zefirio squirted him......" Igina "I see. So do you accept the marriage now?¡± Craft When I turned my eyes to the people in the Great Plaza, they pushed up the glass they had in unison and cheered. Meri is also doing so, but the Bunna people are nice to have a lot of cheerful guys. ¡°I''m so excited to have you guys here! Mars-ojiisan has already gone to bed because he is old! Nyahahahaha!! Everything''ll be a trap from that man somehow!!" Igina After saying outrageous things in front of her daughter and her daughter''s husband, Igina-san mixed up in the banquet. ¡°Me, Meri? Emm, what about your father......?" Craft "Hmm? Ah, about my father I don''t know him, so you don''t have to worry?" Meri "¡­¡­Yes?" Craft "In fact, my mother is unmarried. Besides, in the old days she seemed to have sex every day with a strong man......so I do not know who my father is" Meri I feel like a smooth, ridiculous bomb remark jumped out. Igina-san said that she replaced a man after another, but is this really true. ¡°Igina-san said that she was replacing a man after another in the past, but I don''t believe it!" Meri ¡°Apparently, Bunna seems to be friendly to us. The marriage has also not been opposed......and the people of Bunna are just good-hearted. I''m afraid I don''t have to worry about this anymore" Efrika "Yes. I hope so......" Craft Somewhat disappointed, Efrika is gazing at the Great Plaza. ¡°As Meri¡äs grandfather is asleep, we cannot do anything. Let''s have fun now as well" Craft They¡äre celebrating our marriage. Thank you, I have to upsurge here too! ¡°Yay! Well then, then! Let me get some food there!" "Well, we haven''t eaten anything since we came here" "Ooh, there is also alcohol, degozaru!" Musashi "Hey, alcohol is only allowed for over 18......Musashi are you 18 years old?" Craft Musashi might be the oldest among us. However, she seems to be weak to alcohol. ¡°Shaaa! Alcohol drink!!" Orochi "You might have the proper age, but its not good. Please be obedient with Kaitos......okay?" Craft I think Kaitos was there a while ago, but where did she go? When I looked around the Great Plaza and searched, I was able to find her appearance unexpectedly. She seems to have left us and went to eat the food of the banquet first. ¡°Aguaguaguu, gulp. Umm, this home-made centipede is really delicious" Kaitos "Lizard-chan, talking is cute!! Is it okay to eat more?" "Alcohol is the best thing for my throat, but can I eat this lizard too?" "I am not a lizard, I¡äm Craft¡äs wife and I¡äm a great dragon" Kaitos """""Kya!! Kawaii!""""" What¡­¡­? Kaitos is surrounded by young girls and will be loved! ¡°It is enviable to say that I wish to be Kaitos......" Craft "Haa? Craft, what did you say just now?" Venu "Aahaahaahaa. I don''t want you to let me hear it again, degozaru" Musashi "......Calm down, let''s discuss this with guns and swords down" Craft I raise both hands while being frightening about the muzzle that sticks to the back of my head and the two katanas attached to my neck. No, my life is in dangerous seriously if I make another carelessly remark even though this is a banquet...... ¡°Look, that Baretoria girl......she has a great body shape" "Uwaa, such a body, can¡¯t be seen around here" "Let''s invite her, it''s seldom that we can see such an erotic body" "The other party is a Baretorian? I''m sure she won''t keep us company" Hmm? It seems that many young men look at Venu with odious eyes this time. Originally I want to crush their eyes and kill them halfway......but wait? Efrika and Meri know something. It would be an inevitable phenomenon as a man to be blinded by that erotic thing. But why is it Venu? She has small breasts and rarely show her sex appeal...... ¡°Wait, wait Venu. Please stop your silence you are really scary so" "But isn''t it strange degozaru. Why are the men of Bunna eyeing for Venusera-dono?" Musashi "Hey Meri? Do you know the reason for this magical phenomenon?" Efrika "Hey, what are the two of you talking? My charm is superior to the two of you!" Venu I know if it''s just a charm, but those guys seems to feel sexual excitement for Venu. ¡°Naahahaha......I wonder why" Meri "That face......do you have a clue, Meri?" Craft "Ye, Yes. it''s hard to say, but......the women of Bunna are basically all big breasted, so types like Venusera are rare and popular" Meri Ah, the women of Bunna are all big-breasted. That''s why people like Venu and Zenan are rare and the men have sexual interest. Huu, that''s refreshing. ¡°WhWh, Whhhhaaaaatttttt!!¡± Venu Getting to know the truth, did Venu receive a shock? Poor Venu¡­¡­ ¡°What a wonderful country! I, I like Bunna at once!" I withdraw my words. She seems to be happy. ¡°Small tits are justice......yes, tiny breasts are justice. Oooohoohooho!" Venu "......I''m glad she likes Bunna, Meri" Craft "... Ah, yes. I see" Meri "Already, get some food you idiot. I''d be happy if it''s not an insect" Efrika "Wawaa, sorry Efrika! Well then, let''s take a seat!!" Craft While Venu tripped, Meri asked the residents to prepare some seats. It seems that she asked some people to bring us drinks and meals. ¡°Huu, it seems that somehow it seems like a honeymoon" "Well, because of what happened at Isamura in the beginning, nothing can be done" "I wanted to do sightseeing in Isamura, but......ah, I¡äm grateful degozaru" Musashi We receive drinks and meat dishes that are being carried one after another and we sit down. ¡°......Shaaa, Waawaa, Boobs! Teach me, Teach me" Orochi "What Orochi? Why do you want me to teach you, when you know anything!¡± Hey Orochi, you can not call Meri Boobs. I hope she won''t say it again...... ¡°Shaaaa!! Over there¡­...what?¡± Orochi Orochi pointed at a small shrine in the center of the Great Plaza. Why is there such a shrine in a place that is used for banquets? ¡°That is the shrine where the sacred stone is enshrined" "A stone? Is that......is it a rare ore with power to amplify magical power?" "Yes. It''s pretty important!" "Amplifying magical power, what is the different to magic iron? It is not so rare, is it?" Magic iron was also used for my beloved sword Danthes. The characteristics change according to the processing method, but the magic amplification is not a rare effect. ¡°No Nii-san. In the case of a sacred stone, the digits are literally different. Even if the amplifying of magic is good and tenfold for magic iron, for the sacred stone it can be a thousand times. However, the handling is difficult and it is unlikely for ordinary people to master it" Efrika Is that so? But why is such a rare stone in such a place? ¡° Seiseki......seiseki? Ehehehehehee, amuamuu¡± Orochi Orochi is eating her meal happily, whether the question is resolved or not. It seems that she is considerably pleased from having a comparison with her long silver hair. ¡°Is that sacred stone valuable? It seems that there are many shrines around Bunna" "Well, Meri, is it true?" "Yeah, but the other shrines are hidden so as not to be destroyed" Meri It is a shrine to hide the rare ore......I wonder if there is any important role. ¡°I do not know those difficult reasonswhy that is so though. When the shrines are destroyed it will be the end for Bunna. Masu-ojiisan said so long ago!" Meri Dangerous matter......it is not a calm story. ¡°Hey Meri.Tell me a bit more about it......" Craft "Oyaoyaa, Meri-chan! You grew bigger" Old woman "Modra-obaachan! I''m sorry I recently could not visit you" Meri A elderly woman who seemed to be acquainted with Meri came to our seats abruptly.......Does Meri not want to talk about the story of a while ago? She really wants to talk with familiar people instead. ¡°It''s all right. If it''s fine, why don''t you all stay at our inn tonight?" Modra-obaachan Eh? Is that okay? Modra-obaachan¡äs inn is a hot spring" Meri "Of course, it''s a good one. Is that your husband and your friends? It''s good that they are in the same age as you" Modra-obaachan Oh, it seems like I can get up to tonight''s accommodation as the story unfolds. In the worst case we would camp outside, but it seems that we were able to find a bed somehow. ¡°What do you think, Craft-sensei?" Meri "There is no reason to refuse it. With thanks I am willing to accept your kindness" Craft "Yosha! Then Auntie! We''re going to stay tonight!" Meri "Okay, then it¡¯s the end of this talk. Meri-chan, come to the inn later" Modra-obaachan "Nahahaa, thanks, Auntie!" Meri The accommodation of tonight has been decided, and the greeting to Meri¡äs grandfather will be done tomorrow. After that, let''s go sightseeing and aim for Baretoria which is the next destination. ¡°No, I''m really glad that Meri-chan came back. Let''s have a successful raid on Baretoria and wait for Bunna to be saved" Modra-obaachan "An attack on Baretoria......? What the hell is that?¡± To the cheering aunt''s remark, we stopped eating and were confused. In spite of looking at each other¡äs face unintentionally, our eyes are colored with surprise and the sounds of our hearts resonate like a fast bell......something cold runs down my back. Uncomfortable, awkward silence flows......it was Musashi who broke it first. ¡°A, Ahahaha! The people of Bunna are good at making jokes......!" Musashi "Is that so? No matter how much you say that Baretoria and Bunna are on bad terms" Craft We are confused by so much funny stories that we thought it was a joke. However, to destroy such a pale hope......the aunt at the inn uttered words of denial. ¡°What are you talking about, Prince of Dibair!! The reason why you came all the way to Bunna is because you will help in the upcoming attack plan, right?" A lady who does not do anything at all speaks. I do not think that this talk is very jokey. No way, is Bunna really intending to attack Baretoria? ¡°Don''t worry, Prince-sama! We look like this and do quite well!!" "It is really good to be able to get the back of Dibair! I don''t feel like losing" The young people of Bunna come in now like to catch up with us whose understanding is not catching up. It seems that the story is progressing on the premise that all of them allied with Dibair. ¡°Do, Don''t mess around! Baretoria being attacked means I©¤©¤Mogaa" Venu "Not good Venusera. It will be painful, but please bear with it here......" Efrika closes Venu¡äs mouth who knows the crisis of her country and become enraged. It''s a good decision. Thank you, Efrika. ¡°MogaMogaa!!" Venu "If you don''t keep quiet, you will only make your own situation worse. You should refrain from being careless until you know what''s happening" Efrika As Efrika says, we have not understood this situation yet. Now that we can not predict what we should do, it is better to gather information. ¡°Se, Sensei......! What should we do? Everyone, for what reason......?" Meri Meri, who seems to be most disturbed by the behavior of the citizens of Bunna. While trembling, she clung to my arms with a face that seemed to cry at any moment. Anyone would do so, when suddenly someone said such a thing suddenly after returning home for the first time. ¡°Don''t panic. Meri. We behave naturally so as not to be suspicious" Craft "Yes......Craft-sensei" Meri I gently stroke Meri who is clinging to me and quietly stopped her trembling. And facing her tanned face......Meri opens her mouth as if she noticed something. ¡°Hey, maybe this banquet isn''t just celebrating our marriage©¤©¤©¤" Craft "Ah, it seems that we are celebrating the formation of a political marriage between Dibair and Bunna......" Efrika "Even though Craft-dono was also married to both Venusera and I!"Musashi We think together in a low voice so as not to be heard around. However, the people of Bunna talk in a cheerful attitude one after another, not to say such a thing. ¡°Wahahaha! Come on, Prince! Please eat more! Drink!" "Meri''s marriage partner is a very important person for us!" There is no malice or calculation. Perhaps we should be honest about our marriage......they''re glad that the relationship between Bunna and Dibair has become strong. ¡°Hahaa, Ha......our honeymoon is full of happenings" While wiping the sweat floating on my forehead, it is hollowed out with unreasonable backlash. The fun party that seemed like heaven quickly changed into hell in a moment. The next morning after we arrived at Bunna and the night was over. The inn that we stayed last night was comfortable and the bed was also soft and wonderful. The people of Bunna have a great hospitality to us......that is a good sign. But a lot of troubles still remained that hinder us to enjoy this kindness. ¡°Oh noo, Masu-ojiisama! We are in trouble!" "Hmm, I see. At the banquet last night......" We stayed overnight at the inn at the edge of Ergion, now we are visiting Meri''s family, especially Meri''s grandfather who is the Chief of the Jillboo-Lang tribe. Before the sunrise, we left the inn with sleepy eyes to solve this problem as soon as possible. ¡°First of all, I''m sorry for not greeting Craft-sama and his brides last night. When I was young, I was full of energy, but now I¡äm in this sorry state" Mars-ojiisama Mars-ojiisama touches his long beard that extends to his navel with his fingertip. From the fact that we visited the house early in the morning, rather than showing unpleasant behavior to us, he invited us into the house by behaving like we are welcomed......he doesn''t seem to be a bad person. ¡°However, there is fairly anyone from Bunna who is speaking with a local accent. I¡äm a little surprised" Craft "HooHooHoo. If you¡äre an Baretorian, you can easily speak one or two accents. I thought that it was easy for everyone to talk with an accent" Venu This consideration for us in other countries......he is truly the chieftain of the largest tribe in Bunna. ¡°Well before we getting to the business...... Meri, would you brew tea for everyone?" Mars-ojiisama "Ah, yes! Then guys! Please wait a little!!" Meri Leaving us behind on a large wooden table, Meri disappeared into the interior of the house. Igina-san went out to the banquet last night and seems not to have come back, so it is unavoidable that Meri will go to make tea. ¡°......Craft-dono. I will tell you in the midst of Meri''s absence......to tell the truth, I was not willing to let you marry Meri" Mars-ojiisama After confirming that Meri left the room, Mars-ojiisama starts talking with a hiss. It seems that he even bother making Meri go make tea, because there was a story he didn''t want her to hear. ¡°Didn''t want her to marry me? What do you mean, Mars-dono?" Craft "Do you already understand the position of Bunna? The state of being oppressed by the people of other countries and abused as savages......I wanted to tell that girl about it" Mars-ojiisama I thought that his persuasion was to hide the aim of the marriage to Meri because Meri was able to eat lots of delicious things, which gave her a chance to participate in the department of bride training, but...... at Bremfai Academy, what kind of treatment is being taken by the students of Bunna who studied after having entered the school¡­ ¡°That''s why I am surprised. That the innocent Meri married the Prince of Dibair, even without kissing a man before......as well as being one of five brides" Mars-ojiisama "I am sorry about that point, but I am seriously willing to make everyone happy" Craft "It''s not that I don''t blame you, I''m rather glad about it" Mars-ojiisama Mars-ojiisama continues to laugh, against me who lowered his head at the level of rubbing against the table. ¡°Marriage is decided by the person itself. It doesn''t matter if the marriage of five people is also a culpable reason. It is until we issued the example letter to confirm such" Mars-ojiisama "Then Mars, are you not opposed to our marriage?" Kaitos "That''s right, young child of a dragon" Mars-ojiisama Mars-ojiisama allows us to get married, this was the first barrier to break. The remaining problem is the feud between Baretoria and Bunna. From the air that I felt from the banquet last night, to be aware of it from the unusual air, it is no doubt that it will be a bad thing if I don''t do something quickly. ¡°Emm, what I''d like to ask more than that......is the matter of the attack on Baretoria that I heard yesterday" Craft "As for that matter......I have to tell you about the current situation of Bunna" Mars-ojiisama "Oops! Everyone I kept you waiting! I brought the tea!" Meri Meri comes back to the room with lots of cups and tea. It is just the right timing as it seemed to be a long story. When we received the cups one by one from Meri, we decided to listen slowly to Mars-ojiisama¡äs story. ¡°Bunna is a country that supports life through magic, but where does the magical power to support it come from......do you know that?" Mars-ojiisama To that question, we shake our heads all at once. If you are told, you know that people spend their own magical power and use magic......I don''t know the source of magic used for street lights. ¡°Fire, water, earth, wind, thunder. These powers work throughout everything in Bunna. But they all consume not only the personal magical power but also the power of this earth" Mars-ojiisama "There is something called dragon vein, something I''ve heard when I did Feng Shui" Musashi "What Musashi! Can you eat this Feng Shui? Does it taste delicious?!" Kaitos "Katos, keep quiet, because Orochi is also quiet" Craft Orochi who was crying until yesterday is quite easy to distinguish this morning. ¡°Huhhuhu, huhuhuuuh¡± While looking at the scenery outside the window, it seems that she is humming a song and shaking her feet. Is it just my imagination? It seems that the poncho is shrinking compared to yesterday...... ¡°May I continue the story?" Mars-ojiisama "Ah, yes, I''m sorry" Craft "The dragon vein doesn''t only exist in Bunna, but is spread across Rusanas like a spider thread. We have pumped it up like well water and used it" Mars-ojiisama It''s so easy to explain, but what is that dragon vein? It seems that there is no fear attacking Baretoria...... "But the magic that flows in the dragon vein, if you use it like hot water it will be exhausted anyway. That is why we have been using it since ancient times......the power of that sacred stone" Mars-ojiisama ¡°Kishaaa!! Seiseki!¡± Orochi As soon as we moved to the story of the sacred stones, Orochi who seemed not interested in a while ago turns around here. Since yesterday it seems that she is interested about the stones. ¡°As you may know, the sacred stone has the power to amplify magic power enormously. We used that stone......as a source of magic power and we have prevented the dragon vein from running out" Mars-ojiisama "To be sure......you enshrined sacred stones in and around Bunna in order to keep the magical power of the dragon vein that flows throughout the whole country not to dry up" Craft Everyone including me understand the purpose of the sacred stones from Efrika''s words. As Meri said last night, it seems that the stones are very important for Bunna. ¡°That''s right. Bunna is not primarily rich in magical power. But with the power of the sacred stones we have been called the most magical country on the continent" Mars-ojiisama "I understand the relationship between Bunna and the sacred stones, but what kind of relationship does this have with Baretoria?" Craft With the power of the sacred stones, Bunna can live a rich life without attacking Baretoria. I don''t think there''s any need to cause a war, but...... ¡°Yes. To tell the truth, it is a troubling problem now......" Mars-ojiisama Holding his head, Mars-ojiisama shook his head as if he was in trouble. As we watch him take a breath, it seems that Mars-ojiisama is trying to squeeze out words in a bitter way. ¡°The sacred stone shrine hidden near the border with Baretoria......was destroyed by the hand of Baretoria" Mars-ojiisama "Shaaa!! That''s not good!" Orochi It was Orochi who responded to Mars-ojiisama¡äs words first. The speed of that reaction and the tremendous angry look are so that our reactions are delayed unexpectedly. ¡°Please wait! Baretoria destroys the shrine of the sacred stone? Why on earth would they do that?" Venu Because her country is involved? Venu follows Orochi and became very angry. Certainly, as Venu says, why did Baretoria destroy the shrine? ¡°......Apparently Baretoria seems to be constructing a new military base near the border with Bunna. It seems that the shrine of the sacred stone was destroyed during the construction" Mars-ojiisama "A military base? They¡äre building such a thing near the border......" It''s like the premise of war. Moreover, when a important shrine of Bunna is destroyed......deliberately or by accident, the people of Bunna won''t be killed. ¡°No, Not good!! Baretoria does something like that to other countries" "Unfortunately it is a fact and more than that, the shrine has a particularly important role among the many shrines. The result of destroying it......is now the state of Bunna" Speaking of which, when we arrived at Bunna, I saw dying plants. Meri felt that the air was thin at that time, probably because the concentration of magic in the atmosphere was weakening. ¡°That base is on the source of the dragon vein which is flowing through Bunna. We have to return the sacred stone as fast as possible......either the earth''s magical power will be exhausted or Bunna will be gone as the magic country" Mars-ojiisama We listen to Mars¡äs story and recognize the seriousness of the situation. It is likely that the magic will be lost from the ground of Bunna before that though the threatening action Baretoria took is a serious problem....... ¡°Ji, Jii-sama! Isn''t there anything you can do!" Meri "In the event of an emergency, there is a reserve for the stone, but the stone that we set up at the border with Baretoria is especially large......and cannot be exchanged. A sacred stone with an average size can''t bear the enormous magic flow that is overflowing from the source and will break" Mars-ojiisama "In other words......we are in a deadlock?" Craft Even if Baretoria withdrew the military base......if there is no alternative sacred stone, then the problem isn''t solved. In a word, Bunna will perish if they can¡¯t get it back. ¡°No, Craft-dono. We still have a way¡± It was a straight line of despair, but it seems that it''s still too early to give up. We listen to the words of Mars while listening to the sense of urgency. ¡°Do you know that a shooting tournament will be held in Baretoria tomorrow?" Mars-ojiisama "Shooting tournament? I knew about it......but tomorrow already?" Craft When looking towards Venu who is next to me, she naturally nods. Perhaps the enjoyment Venu said before departure......was it about the shooting tournament? ¡°But what is the relationship between the shooting tournament and the sacred stone?" Craft "Actually, one of the winning prizes for that tournament is a necklace made by processing that stone." Mars-ojiisama "What! Is that true?" "Yes, fortunately, it seems that the stone was being collected when the shrine was destroyed and thanks to its rarity and beauty, it was valued as an decorative item" Mars-ojiisama A necklace made of a sacred stone......Bunna will be saved with it. Therefore, it is necessary to gain the necklace by all means. ¡°We also offered negotiations to Baretoria many times.We demanded the withdrawal of the base and return of the sacred stone pieces. If they fulfill the demand then the crisis can be prevented¡­..." Mars-ojiisama "But the negotiation didn''t go well" Craft "Yes, there is nothing to negotiate with Bunna for Baretoria......" Mars-ojiisama It seems that it is always Baretoria who tends to look down on Bunna, but it does not bend its attitude towards the crisis of that country......nevertheless, people are frightened. Although it might have been anguish to cause a war at the time of construction of the base in the first place. ¡°It is terrible. Even opportunities for discussion can¡¯t be held properly......." Mars-ojiisama "There is no reply......! What on earth is her Majesty thinking?" Venu "......Don''t be depressed, Baretoria¡äs bride. The Queen of Baretoria also has a position. She used to be a friend of my daughter a long time ago......." Mars-ojiisama Mars¡äs daughter......Igina-san, isn''t it? Igina-san said she was an old acquaintance with the Queen of Baretoria, but..... the relationship now seems to be the worst. ¡°How about you take your time and discuss it? I think with the mediation of Dibair, they probably will withdraw their base and give back the sacred stone" Craft "I also thought about that proposal, but the question is, how much time does Bunna have?" Mars-ojiisama Bunna¡äs people were so anxious about the attack. It seems that the current state in which Bunna is put is considerably bad. ¡°How is it, Mars-ojiisama?" Craft "......Bunna has already begun to wither, not only crops, but also plants because of the disappearance of the sacred stone. If this condition continues......then the earth of Bunna will die" Mars-ojiisama "There is no delay to wait for the resolution in discussion" Craft "It seems like you understand and what''s more, we would like to avoid war......" Mars-ojiisama Even if you do not want to fight, the fate of the country hangs over the temptation. The agree of Mars is a sound argument, and it may be inevitable that this will become a war. ¡°I understand the situation. But......" No matter what the circumstances, I can¡¯t fight with my wife''s country. ¡°Umm......Craft! Here I......" Venu "It, it is serious chieftain!" When Venu was about to say something, a man rushed into the room. It seems to be one of Mars''s subordinates, but he is nothing extraordinary. ¡°You are in front of guests. What are you panicking about?" Mars-ojiisama "Haa, Haa, I, Igina-sama is gathering people in the Great Plaza to attack the base of Baretoria now! If you won¡¯t stop her in a hurry it will be serious!" The man shouts while breathing roughly. Everyone in this place stands up from the chair all at once hearing this shocking news. ¡°That idiotic girl......acting rashly" Mars-ojiisama "First of all it''s pretty obvious. Everyone, let''s go!" Craft "I rely on you, Craft-dono!!! I will follow you as soon as possible!" Mars-ojiisama Instead of Mars, we quickly jumped out of the room and ran out of the house. From the high position of the treehouse, the appearance of the Great Plaza is seen well. There might be a lot of people than the time of the banquet as a good number of people gathered. We hurry up and jump from the top of the tree and run towards the Great Plaza. ¡°All right, everyone! We''re going to crush those Baretorians! The base under construction will be destroyed and the sacred stone is regained! Let''s clear up our daily grudges!" Igina-san "Wait a minute! Wait!" Craft ¡®¡¯Mother! What are you doing without permission!" Meri When we find Igina-san who makes a speech on the platform set up in the Great Plaza, I and Meri raise a voice of restraint while moving through the crowd. We managed to get here in time. ¡°Ahmm? What, Meri, did you guys come as reinforcement?" Igina-san Looking down at us from the top of the stand, Igina-san smiles happily. ¡°It''s different! We came to stop Mother!" Meri "It will become a war with Baretoria if you continue! Please cool your head!" "What are you saying, Meri? I have to do it or that crappy Queen will destroy our country!" Igina-san When Igina-san raises her voice, the people who gathered also raise their voices. It becomes a frightening growl when everyone shouts in chorus, but we should not be frustrated here. To rephrase, that moment when I tried to open my mouth©¤©¤ ¡°Please wait! If you complain about Baretoria, then please say it to me!" Venu "He, Hey Venu! What are you doing!!" Craft "I decided! I will do my best with my own blockhead!" Venu Venu jumps in front of the table where Igina-san stands, not losing to the pressure that seems to be rare. While pointing at Igina-san on the table, she went to challenge her straight on! ¡°......That''s right, Zefirio¡äs son was married to a princess of Baretoria" Igina-san "Yes, I¡äm Baretoria¡äs former second princess.....Venusera" Venu People in the surroundings who are going home hear the word "Princess"......and show a different reaction from last night. I wonder if they thought that she is also my wife. ¡°Don''t be noisy, you guys! I''m going to kill you all!" Igina-san However, Igina-san doesn''t change her complexion and glares with cold eyes at Venu......below. Ah, didn''t she put Venu who is below the stand into her eyes. ¡°What''s with the former second princess? Even if I hurt you, the situation is not solved" Igina-san "It is natural, but that doesnt mean I can overlook your doing!" Venu Two people glare at each other. I want to join in......but I don''t know what to say. I understand the feelings of Venu, but I also understand the circumstances of Igina-san...... ¡°Then what is it? Do you think we should overlook how Bunna will be destroyed?" Igina-san "I haven''t said that. I would rather say that there is away for a frontal attack without it becoming a conflict" Venu Venu says such a thing with a confident look. ¡°Frontal attack? I don''t understand what you mean!" Igina-san "Venu, what are you planning to do......?" Craft I do not know what will happen to Baretoria as for the citizens of Bunna who have expressed clear hostility before speaking of Baretoria to Venu. While we are watching over with anxious and uneasy eyes......Venu screams with a confident voice. ¡°The frontal attack is that.....I''m going to compete in the shooting tournament and win it!" Venu Straightforward exactly. If it is not taken away and you use your own way by a proper procedure, nobody can complain. Bunna and Baretoria have no need to fight. ¡°I will hand over the necklace with the sacred stone to Bunna. How about this" Venu "I don''t know what to say......but first of all, are you really able to win the first place?" Igina-san It is no use trying to think so from Igina¡¯s point of view who does not know Venu''s ability. Even more so the citizens of Bunna, who have always been looked down by Baretoria. They can''t trust us and we cannot blame them for being sceptic. Even though I know Venu, she continues to speak in a resolute attitude, even after receiving the suspicions of everyone. ¡°If we couldn''t win, we would steal the sacred stone from the winner!" Venu It is a bullish remark because it is not doubted that I am defeated. No, maybe she is serious. Even I who saw Venu¡äs anticipation, thought that Venu could do it now. ¡°But Venu. I''m not doubting your victory, but......even if you win, we still have a problem with that military base" Kaitos As Kaitos pointed out, it can not be said that the problem was solved simply by recovering the sacred stone. To the end, the sacred stone need to be enshrined in its original place......and Bunna is saved. ¡°It''s okay. The winner will be granted any wish he has. Some of the past winners have become lords, others have created new laws" Venu "Oooo! If you use tat privilege, you will be able to remove the base from the border!" Igina-san "That''s right. Isn''t there any complaint?" Venu Good Venu. Certainly this method seems to avoid war without shedding a drop of blood. After that I wonder whether or not Igina will be convinced......is it tough? ¡°......Chii! I don''t know if you will keep your promise or not!" After all, even if such a thing is suddenly said they are confused. Igina-san is not going to believe Venu''s words......and it seems that the people in the surroundings are the same. ¡°How do you do? Do you believe that Baretorian princess?" "You may say I believe her......is she really a Baretorian?" "If she can do it without fighting, I''d prefer her to do that......but" "If Igina-san is against it, then we are against it either!" Because there is a consciousness that they don''t want to fight in their hearts......Bunna¡äs people are trying to listen to Venu¡äs words. However, it is not possible to accept Venu''s proposal because Igina-san doesn¡¯t agree. They seemed weary to decide what they should do. ¡°Uuuuu! I''m begging everyone! Please believe us!" Meri The appearance of such people was able to be seen, and this time, instead of Venu, Meri jumped out ahead. Gathering the gazes of the surroundings, the action she took was©¤©¤ ¡°We''ll definitely save Bunna! So please trust us!" Meri With both hands, she was bowing down and rubs her forehead against the ground. ¡°Naa, Meri-dono! Why are you kneeling on the ground?¡± The confusion spreads more and more to a extent that nobody did expect. Even I. I can''t make my precious wife do such a thing......what a pity! ¡°Meri, it''s okay. If you need to kneel down, then I will do it. You do not have to do that" Craft Tugging Meri with her head down, I look up at Igina-san. What are you going to do as her mother, letting your daughter do this? ¡°Y, you ! How dare you act like this Meri !¡° Igina-san seems to have been completely angry and she applied strengthening magic which she showed last night to her arms......and jumps off the table. ¡°If you still want to get in the way, I will hit you!!!" Igina-san Igina-san lifts up her right arm with a lump of rock and rushes toward Meri. No matter if it is her mother or not, I can''t overlook an attack on my wife. As soon as I tried to respond quickly, I tried to put my hand on Danthes......but a strange thing happened. ¡°Ngaa, hurry up and leave!" ??? A water current suddenly sprang up from the ground and coils around Igina-san to restrain her. This is water magic......! Efrika should only be able to use healing magic. So this magic belongs to©¤©¤ ¡°"Damn it! What are you doing! You old geezer!" Igina-san "......You lose Igina" Mars-ojiisama It was Mars-ojiisama who appeared with a long wooden cane in his hands. The water current holding down Igina seems to be his magic. ¡°Look at the eyes of these children. There is no hesitation, they believe that they can do it" Mars-ojiisama Mars-ojiisama points with his cane at Meri and Venu who are showing a soft smile. Apparently, he has observed the situation from the shadows. ¡°Today or tomorrow, the country won''t be destroyed. Can you give them a chance?" Mars-ojiisama "No! I can''t believe that these kids will be able to save Bunna!" Igina-san "Foolish daughter, you lost sight because of your anger. Even if you go to war with Baretoria, there is no guarantee that Bunna will be saved. I think you should bet on these youngsters" Mars-ojiisama That''s right, Mars-ojiisama turns towards us, smiling with a grin. ¡°Craft-dono and all his brides. I believe in you¡­¡­¡± Mars-ojiisama, who snapped his finger released his magic that constraint Igina¡äs movement. ¡°However, as the person who governs this country...... I can''t go with my personal reason alone. If Craft fails, I will do a strong action plan" Mars-ojiisama As the chieftain of the clan that leads Bunna, Mars-ojiisama says such words. His gentle voice also contained severity, proving that he was not just a sweet person. ¡°I know. We will definitely meet your expectations" Craft "Okay, then everyone......is that fine?" Mars-ojiisama Mars-ojisama calls out to the surroundings as if to get a confirmation, but no one casts an objection and everyone kept silent, staring at us. Perhaps he is trying to figure out who is trusting in us with his own eyes. ¡°Kishaaa! Seiseki, let''s get it back!" Orochi "Ahaahaahaahaa, Orochi is also burning!" Without knowing that she is seen with such eyes, we also start to laugh at Orochi¡äs appearance. No, seriously, it''s bad for the heart. ¡°By the way Craft, we have to hurry if we want to reach the shooting tournament which is tomorrow" Kaitos Kaitos is sticking her chest against me from behind. Probation is necessary for the participation, so we surely should hurry up. ¡°Then, Mars-ojiisama, we will head towards Baretoria now" Craft "I am sorry that I couldn''t give you a big hospitality and I am sorry, for letting you fight for our sake......I pray from my heart, that you won''t lose!" Mars-ojiisama "Don''t hit me so suddenly, old man!" Igina Mars-ojiisama knocks on the head of Igina, who had still been hostile to us with the tip of his cane. Igina-san has a complicated look, but it seems that she realized that it will be in vain if she continues so she lowers her head a little. ¡°......Be sure to win! I will kill you if you lose!" Igina-san Saying that much, Igina-san leaves with the people who gathered. ¡°Hey! You can do it by the time the kids come back! Let the men split apart and go to see the outfield! The women go to make devil fertilizer!" Mars-ojiisama We are going to stop it so that no more damage will be caused by the decline of magical power. Unlike yesterday''s banquet, she leads the people like she has charisma. I wonder if the day will come when I can pull people in such a way. ¡°Um, Craft, I¡­¡­" Venu "Thank you Venu. Thanks to you, my head is still attached to my body" Craft "No......but, if we can¡¯t get results, it''s just irresponsible behavior" Venu It is Venu who shows a bearish face as soon as possible. All right, we should encourage her here! ¡°Do not worry. At that time I will take all responsibility......that is my duty as your husband, is not it?" Craft I decided so and I was praising myself selfishly...... ¡°No, it''s wrong, Nii-san" Efrika "Yeah, it''s as if you said something unrelated" Musashi "Idiot......" Kaitos "I think that it has nothing to do with you, Craft-sensei!" Meri Total unexpected scun. I get pierced by the cold eyes of my wives. ¡°It is okay Craft! I think it''s good for a husband to protect his wife, but......but such a thing is nothing for us!" Venu "The responsibilities of Craft-sensei are also our responsibilities. We are married, right?" Meri I seem to have misunderstood them. I said that I¡äm a husband who supports everybody. ¡°.....Ah, yes. I¡äm wrong¡± Craft. But it was different. We''re in a relationship that either gives or is given unilaterally. ¡°Let''s go, everyone! Lets save Bunna, together!" Craft We share the same things if they are funny or even painful. That¡¯s a couple. And it¡¯s too soon to laugh. Volume 2, 5: Tender princess and ecstatic prince Volume 2, Chapter 5: Tender princess and ecstatic prince Dungeon......the image that comes to mind when hearing the word is roughly decided. Stone walls and floors. It is common to think of a sight such as a dark secret room......closed by black iron bars......but I will say only this. The actual dungeon isn''t so simple. "......Hey, my dear honey. Why are we in such place?" "......That is my line, my dear darling" Right. We are in the dungeon right now. Venu and I are sitting on a stone pavement covered with dense air. There is one dirty blanket which leaves a stink on the side and a flush urinal where mold grows here and there. In the corner of the jail the unknown insect is wandering while rustling and occasionally coming near us. Venu is frightened and sticks to me each time. It''s quite wonderful. The only problem is the woman behind the bars staring at us. ¡°Ahaa, Venusera, you''re looking good......this place suits you" A woman with dazzling blond hair that is illuminated by the moonlight laughs at us through the iron bars. ¡°Hey? It¡¯s boring if you don¡¯t react more. Really, what a hopeless child" "......It¡¯s unfortunate , but I have nothing to talk with my older sister! Absolute nothing!" "Why don''t you talk like that to your older sister......?" Her name is Primella and her eyes are sharpened, and she has ruined her which ruined her good-looking face. She is Venu¡äs half older sister......the first princess of Baretoria. She has the same height as Efrika and she might be two or three years older than me? She is dressed in a sleeveless gothic gown......in addition to wearing black long leather gloves, this might be Baretoria¡äs royal costume. It looks a bit like Venu''s clothes. ¡°What, you have a sister huh. I didn''t know this before" "Venu. I didn''t want to provoke you too much" "Huhh! I hate my sister a lot! You know!" Without asking, Venu sticks her tongue out towards Primella. ¡°Yo, You still do not know your position, Venusera......!" It seems to have upset her mood and Primella opens her mouth irritatedly while she moves her forefinger. Pointing towards Venu who she is staring at......as I sat besides. ¡°I wish you have at least a little whim......there really is no life in this man?" Primilla took out a jet-black magic gun from among the bulges of her rich breasts. The magic gun that was supposed to be a wedding gift has now become a tool to shoot down the original owner. ¡°Well, it is a reunion after a long time. We should talk more happily......no?" Showing a distorted smile while facing the muzzle of a gun, I begin to recall. Why did we fall into such a situation? When we arrived in Baretoria, we went through the process of reaching this dungeon©¤©¤when the sky dyed in a red light, when it was sunset. The destination following Bunna......was Baretoria and now we were standing at the gate of castle Atosaiyu of the capital city Belzia. The elegant exterior of castle Atosaiyu is filled with elegance, unlike the rugged atmosphere of the Dora castle, which has a rustic feel. That''s not all. In retrospect there is also the beautiful view of Berzia, such as brick buildings lined up in a row and a canal that flows between them. A poster of an advertisement depicting a sexy blond woman in a huge airship covering the sky. Among the many beautiful landscapes of Baretoria, I like to ride on a black road paved with asgard with a vehicle made of mechanical technology. ¡°Long ago, when I wanted to be alone with you, Kaitos was jealous....." While recalling nostalgic memories, two cars travel at high speed on the road in front of my sight which are pursued by my eyes......unexpectedly, that time arrived. -------Flashback------ ¡°Wh, Why can''t we enter the castle!!¡± Venu Venu releases a ear-shaking scream. I and Efrika, who stand behind her, are surprised at this. ¡°Please explain! Who do you think I am!" Venu While stepping on the groundwork, Vene is staring at the guards of Atosaiyu Castle. We came here to have a meeting with the Queen of Baretoria....... ¡°I''m sorry, but it is an order from the first princess" Guard But the result is this. We together with Venu the former second princess of Baretoria aren''t allowed to pass through the castle gate and we had such a interaction for a while now. ¡°Si, Sister......?¡± Venu ¡°Yes. Even if Venusera-sama visits the castle, she should never get entrance" Guard The first princess...... Venu''s half sister. I''ve never met her, but she seems to have an disgusting personality as heard from Venu''s story. ¡°No matter what you say, we can not let you go through Venusera-samal" Guard Go home quickly. The eyes of the guards who respond to the nuisance seemed to appeal that. ¡°But we just have an audience with the queen......" Venu "Please withdraw. Because we have no spare time" Guard The guards don''t shake their necks lengthwise, though Venu is persistent. Before aiming for the victory at the shooting tournament, I thought that we first try to talk and avoid trouble...... ¡°Hey. Although I married, Im still a princess who you serve" Venu "Even so, this is the order from the first princess." Guard He glimpsed at me who wanted to cut into the conversation, then one of the guards spit out that with an unpleasant tone. ¡°It would be better if the people who were with you were to leave before sunset¡± Guard Aside from pursuing, the guards tell us so as if we are fools. Hahahaha! Well, thank you for having a fresh response on a single lap. ¡°Ah? What, do you know who I am?" Craft Hey, I¡äm Craft. I¡äm going to be enraged. I will shred this guard together with this heavy gate....... ¡°Stop it, Nii-san. If you get upset here, it''s preposterous" Efrika Efrika gently holds my hand that was trying to pull Danthes out and stop me. What? Are you saying that you''re not being irritated with all this? ¡°......What we need to do now is not to punish these people, right?" Quietly saying so, Efrika gazed at someone. There was Venu who was trembling to endure her tears while tightening biting her lips. ¡°Ah, damn it. Venu, Efrika! Let''s withdraw temporarily!" Craft "Wh, When you say it......" Venu I''m an idiot. There''s more to be done than to vent my anger. ¡°I''m sorry¡­¡­" Craft "......No, it''s fine just stay by my side" Venu Coming near my shoulder, Venu looks up at my face and smiles without force. I guess I regret my unmanliness. Even though I''m not cowardly....... ¡°Thank you for your cooperation. We are too sorry that we cant let Venusera-sama inside" Guard We are leaving as it is, and a provocation is thrown towards us. I can see that this is not very life-wise. Now is the time to comfort Venu. ¡°Hey......you guys. It seems that you are full of energy, so why don¡¯t you just change place?" "Haa? What are you saying?" "Efrika......?" Efrika who was walking beside me who has Venu leaned against my shoulder, walks towards the guards. Behind her, she held her staff of Eromael. ¡°Well, don''t mind it guys, you are enthusiastically doing your work. I¡äm the saint of Dibair......Efrika" The cane is sticked out in front of the guards and the guards who reflexively set up their guns hanging around their shoulders look at it. C''mon, don''t say only a few words, do you want to start a fight? I was astonished for a moment. ¡°I''m only joking. I hope you''ll continue to work hard after this" Efrika The cane which emits the dazzling light is lowered and Efrika returns to us with an innocent tone. What the hell is this pale light now? What did she do? ¡°Nii-san. Let''s go back to everyone quickly" Efrika "Ah, yes. But Efrika, what about the light just now?" Craft "I haven''t done anything bad, I just cast recovery magic on them" Efrika Recovery magic? You mean she healed those guys who mocked us? ¡°Why bother doing that......" Craft "It seems that they are just a little too enthusiastic. I just made their guts work a thousand times more active than usual......but there is no problem, right?" Efrika Efrika looks back to me with a wicked smile. I was tempted to look behind my back...... ¡°Hu, Hugumeooo!! O, Ooooooohh! Uuguhuaaaa!!¡± Guard ¡°Huaaah, Ahiiiiiiiii!! Igiiaaaaaaaaaa!!¡± Guard The guards who are cramping with greasy sweat on their forehead, hold their buttocks with both hands. Hiee, they have tears in their pale/white eyes and a running nose...... ¡°They will be so for the whole day......nhuhuhuhuhuu, they deserve it" Efrika "Yo, You.....what a terrible thing" Craft "E, Efrika-san......you ruined the mood" Venu Both I and Venu were frightened. Never make Efrika so angry. I seriously thought. ¡°Ah, sorry. Although it was before dinner, it was a bit vulgar" Efrika "No, don''t do terrible things to the people of Baretoria in the first place......" Venu Venu watches the guards who are steadily moving away with a frown anxiously. Even though she was treated so badly......she is still really kind to them. ¡°However, I understand that it was done for me. Thank you, Efrika" Venu "Venusera, you! You didn''t use any honorific for me.......?" Efrika "No, Not good? You also don''t use any honorific for me!" Venu "......It¡¯s fine right. I''m so happy! Let me hug you!" Efrika "Kyaa, Im ticklish!" Venu Efrika and Venu build a new trusting relationship through a hot embrace. I think that it is a good thing for my wives to deepen their relationships quickly...... ¡°Aah, Nii-san¡­¡­*rubrub*¡± Efrika ¡°Craft¡­¡­*rubrub*¡± Venu You''re going to have to cross me. I mean, you''re just hugging, aren''t you! ¡°......If you see a place like this in the baggage number, it''s not good¡± "Not good, although we have a mission, this is our honeymoon" "That''s right, this is also a side benefits" As you can see, the three of us are acting differently now. In Baretoria, the beauty of a person is only judged by the color of blond hair, so we who are foreigners are hated when we walk through the city. That''s why we have to prepare for camping by the riverside of the suburbs. ¡°I hope we will be alright......" Craft I wish we could sleep in one of the inns, but it is difficult thinking of the exchange we had just now at Atosaiyu Castle. Venu''s face and hair color have been known all over the country since she competed in last year''s shooting tournament. It will be unable to find a inn which readily accepted us like in Bunna. ¡°Even so......it''s been a long time since I walked through Baretoria¡äs capital" Venu Looking at the noisily and bustling inhabitants, Venu happily squinting her eyes. That expression is deep in my heart, this country.....I knew that she loved that culture. ¡°Shooting tournament? I heard rumors, but will it be so exciting as I heard?" Craft Belzia''s been like a little festive state, because of the shooting tournament tomorrow. The ratio of people is completely different from when I visited the city in the past and the spectacle of many unfamiliar stalls and stores is great. ¡°Well, I guess I will see it" Craft Just walking in this way, I feel a glance sticking out from the surroundings. It''s not something that is done directly, but it''s not very pleasant. ¡°Should we have bought a hat before coming here?" Craft It is said that a hat or a hood should be worn when a foreigner walks around in Baretoria. It''s a kind of care to keep you from feeling uncomfortable with each other. ¡°"No, this is not good for Craft and Efrika" Venu "......Venu?" Craft "For a hair color other than blonde, the Baretorians will feel hatred and disgust which is a really ugly side of them" Venu Receiving the gaze from the surroundings, Venu ties the edge of her lips tightly. ¡°Hey, isn''t that the rumored ash princess? As rumored, she has dirty blonde hair" Citizen 1 "Disregarding the first princess, she became engaged with the Prince of Dibair......" Citizen 2 "However, it seems she was chosen only as a bonus, she lost the fight against the other candidates, which is shameful for Baretoria" Citizen 3 There is no doubt that each of the backbiting you hear when you listen is hurting Venu deeply. ¡°They......if I hadn''t deposited Danthes, I''d have chopped them into small pieces" Craft Weapons are forbidden in Baretoria, so I left Danthes, my buddy behind by Kaitos. So now there is only Angelos in my cloak. ¡°Please stop your violence already. In any language, the words of the people can be understood" Venu "But......how can I keep calm when they say such things to my wife?" Craft "Huhu, its okay. I know that I¡äm not a bonus" Venu Venu says so and embrace my arm with hers as to show off our relationship to the onlookers. I feel a little depressed because her chest isnt huge......but Venu is pretty enough. ¡°Come on, Craft! Go-Go! Okay!" Venu "Okay, okay. I will accompany you anywhere, princess" Craft No matter what anyone says, we don''t care what kind of eyes they make. Unlike the time when I first met her, Venu no longer hides her head in a hood. You can see a lot of facial expressions in the neighborhood, looking at Venu and I...... ¡°......Nii-san, have you forgotten that I am also here?" Efrika "Oh......well, no how can you think so? Aha, Ahahahahahaha!!" Craft "Huuu, sigh......" Efrika Efrika has been completely forgotten and she glares at me with scornful eyes. No, I don''t want to switch the story so that I can get over it. ¡°We couldn''t have an audience with the Queen......I guess we''ll have to win the tournament" Craft "Yes. I never thought I''d be disturbed by my sister even when I came home" Venu "It can''t be helped even if we¡äre bullied. Let''s get a reception for the tournament, before the sunset" Craft "Okay, let''s finish it and return to the others" Venu However, isn''t the shooting tournament not done in the middle of a crowd? If I can do it, I''m going to participate, but I don''t know if anyone other than Baretorians can join....... ¡°Hey, Venu. I will participate in the shooting tournament......" Craft "He, Hey! Th, There, wa, waiiiitttttt!!" ???? "What? That guy......has he chased us?" Craft Looking back to the hailed voice, one of the guards from Atosaiyu castle, which we were talking about before, came running towards us with a pale face. Is he enduring till the last minute, as a large amount of greasy sweat floated on his forehead......unsightly. ¡°Hahii, Hahii......So, sorry for the thing before, uu, do it, ple......eeaasseee!!" Guard "Hey, are you alright? It will be troublesome if they put it out here, so please cure them Efrika" Venu "......It can''t be helped. It''s hard to weaken the effect of healing magic" Efrika Efrika does not show any disgust, but turns her cane towards the guard while holding her nose. I want to think that it hasn''t leaked yet......but I feel like I smell something after all. ¡°Th, Thank you very much. Huu......" Guard It seems to have improved completely by receiving the light of the cane, as the guards can stand up with a neat face. While thinking that his companion is still suffering in front of the castle. ¡°So? Why bother to pursue us?" Craft "Hah! Actually the first Princess came immediately after that and ordered me to bring Venusera-sama and her friends back to Atosai Castle as soon as possible!" Guard "What my sister? What on earth......?" Venu "I haven''t been informed so far......but please come along with me" Guard I don''t know what kind of owe the mean-first princess was trying to prevent Venu from returning to the castle. It''s a very suspicious offer, but...... "What are we doing, Nii-chan? After we extended our hand they refused and now they want to stretch out their hand to us......something is fishy" Efrika "Yeah, I think so too, but don''t say it, if you don''t enter the dragon¡äs nest, you won''t attain the dragon''s child" Craft It doesn''t matter if there is a back or not. I had the opportunity to bother talk with him. ¡°Well then, will you accompany me?" Guard "Yes, but I will advise you only one thing" Craft I came near the guard and lifted him up by his collar with one arm. ¡°"What are you going to do......?" Guard "Listen, you underling. I don''t care if your back is covered by the first princess or the Queen. The woman you tried to make a fool off is one of my wives, if you do it again I will show you my might" Craft I decided to keep protecting my wives all the time, decided to walk together with them......they''re an irreplaceable existence. ¡°Try to make my precious woman cry! At that time, whoever the other party is©¤©¤" Craft "Never forgive......right? Pupuu! To put on such a pose, it is too pitiful to laugh! Aahahahahahaa! You''re the best!" Prinella With a harsh laughter, the recollection story which was continuing ends. ¡°Geez......please look back to things like these foolish things" Prinella Sure enough, the invitation of Prinella was a trap, but......we''re not supposed to be caught. ¡°Damn it. I shouldn''t have left my gun behind in such a case" Craft As soon as we were invited to the castle, we were asked to deposit all the weapons we had. If it is a manners in the castle, it has consented smoothly. The result of being surrounded by the guards immediately thereafter......leads to the present situation. ¡°Shut up. Hey Venusera, what''s so good about this guy? He''s the worst hair and the Prince of Dibair is the lowest man except for his status" Prinella "......Shut up. I will not allow you to make a bad call to my Craft" Venu From the prison, Venu stares at her real elder sister with a gaze of sorrow. That gentle Venu is so angry......I have never seen her like this before. ¡°What? You glared at me so much, I''m curious!" Prinella "Hey, sick sister-in-law, I have something I want to ask you" Craft "Haa? Can I ask you not to call me sister-in-law?" Prinella "There was another one with us, right? Why is she in a different place than us?" Craft I ask the whereabouts of Efrika, ignoring the words of Prinella. Efrika originally had only a cane and was almost unarmed. So, while Venu and I removed our guns, we were separated from her. If they had done something awful to Efrika, I will surely kill them. ¡°......Huh? The face of Venusera just......it seems like the influence of you?" Prinella "Just answer the question, okay. We are not so dumb that we cant read your bloodlust" Craft "Ah well, I guess it can not be helped. I will tell you because I am so gentle." Prinella I do not know how is that fun, but Prinella keeps on speaking joyfully. ¡°I''ve already let her escape. The only ones important are you guys" Prinella "Escape......? Not good, I hope you didn''t make a single wound on her!" Craft "I don''t care because I''m not interested. Honestly, you are right" Prinella This face, attitude. I dont think what she is saying but......thats disgusting. ¡°Hey, Craft is my husband! In other words, he is also your brother-in-law? Why are you treating us like this?" Venu "I don''t agree with your marriage in the first place......this brother-in-law and you are disgusting!" Prinella "I do not mind if you do not have to admit it to me" Venu We love each other heartily and it doesn''t matter whether we are told that to be honest. Even if she does not admit it, if the Queen gives her permission, the greeting will be established. ¡°Is it okay......? Why did you forced us back once? You should have beat us in the first, without having to recall the trouble later" Craft If you do that, you will not be alarmed, and you will be able to catch more smoothly. As a result, it was easily caught, and omitted there. I''ll take it to the grave. ¡°It is a face that I can not understand. It is good. I love such miserable expression" Prinella " I do not believe that the same blood as me is flowing inside such a person......" Venu Even though it is a strange thing, Venu blew away regret with her sister''s distorted character. It seems to be a reunion in such a dark prison, but I really understand that these sisters really are fighting. Both Leona and I are half-siblings and we are thinking of each other very well...... ¡°Stop it, Venu. I understand the feeling, but don''t say such a thing towards your family like that" Craft " Sorry, Craft......but, I am" Venu "Ahaaa, yeah Venusera! Because I am your older sister, let''s get along better, even if you have ugly blond hair, our blood is the same" Prinella "......Terrible. It''s too much for this kind of person to be my sister" Prinella My consideration is that I don''t want these sisters to hate each other. I''m not trying to change their attitude. Still, is she different from Venu? "So, just about a while ago......it wasn''t my orders that the soldiers caught you back at the first time, because that''s what the soldiers said at random, so don''t trust them" Prinella "Huuh, in what way! Is it because you are my sister?" Venu "Idiot, it''s inconvenient to just let such an interesting toy escape!" Prinella Turning the hint around with her fingers, Prinella laughs. Distorting her face to distortion enough to blur the glowing elegant blond hair and even facial features. "By the way, it was Craft, right? Is it true you have a habit of debauchery?" Prinella "It''s a wandering habit. I don''t drink sake, and the woman who I fell in love with are only these guys......by the way, I¡äm still virgin" Craft "Which, what virginity, well, whatever you want" Prinella Against the words of a virgin, Prinella was slightly shaken? From her face of a sexually bad lady, she turned into a pure innocent girl....... "Anyway, I can''t stand that kind of younger brother-in-law. You, have four other women who are your wives......can you just let this kid go?" Prinella "Please don''t say selfish things, sister! We love each other!" Venu "......I don''t know. That''s it. I hate it when you say it" Prinella To be refused so far.......I''m a notorious as usual. Well the lazy Prince who made a Harem is likely to be disliked. "Whatever you say, we''re not going to break up! Isn''t that right, Craft?" Venu "It''s obvious. Do you caught us just to say such a thing?" Craft "Well, that too, but......" Prinella Looking at Venu who embraces me, Prinella craves her nails unhappily. Things can not be carried out as she wants, but it seems that she cant hide her irritation....... "Hey, Venuseral? Are you going to participate in tomorrow''s shooting tournament?" Prinella "!! Su, Suddenly what are you......?" Venu "Ahaaa! As I thoughttt!!" Prinella As soon as she know that Venu wants to join the shooting tournament, Prinella changes her attitude. What? Is she so happy that Venu is in the tournament? "You came back to the day before the tournament. Yes, yes, it''s decided so" Prinella Nodding to herself, Prinella who shakes her body right and left grins cheerfully. "You were so embarrassed last year, and you were crying, so why do you intend to participate in the tournament again? Hey, why don''t you tell your sister?" Prinella "......I don''t want to say" Venu "Ahaaa! Is your intention of participation real? I can''t believe that!" Prinella Prinella that raises a laughter laughs while holding her belly. This guy has been trying to provoke Venu since a while ago, but what is her purpose? "There is also a seed right that I gave you at last year''s tournament, it is not a good thing unless you use it" Prinella "I''m sorry that elder sister can''t participate. If you participate again this year, I will surely......!" Venu Seed right......? Can''t participate? I don''t know what they''re talking about, but now I have no time to ask in detail. "I''m not saying that. But how are you going to compete in this situation?" Prinella "Uuu, that''s......!" Venu "Oh, my God. You can''t go to the tournament if you are in the prison" Prinella She caught us suddenly and confined us......well, well, it''s awfully. "Please, older sister! Let us out! In order to save Bunna, I must win the shooting tournament!" Venu "Haaaa? Saving Bunna? What do you mean?" Prinella "Playing dumb is useless! Bunna is in a crisis because Baretoria built a military base near the border with Bunna!" Venu "Military base? Ah......now that you mention it, mother and Marshal Grandvanal were talking about something. How about the sacred stone, are not you talking about how Bunna has begun negotiations?" Prinella From this reaction, isn''t it as if Prinella is unrelated to the matter of Bunna? In that case, the person called Marshal Grandvanal who came out now seems to hold the key of the story. "Hey Venusera, you are not a horse, right? Do you intend to shake the winning privilege of the trouble for such Bunna? It''s okay to use it for other countries!" Prinella "Older sister won''t know, but I already have what I want.That''s why I don''t need anything else" Venu That''s the moment Venu looks at my face. I¡äm driven by an impulse and I want to hold and kiss her right now......but I must endure it a lot. "Huuh? Fine, but what should I do? Just asking for a cute little sister, it will be tough to take a rebellious attitude so far......I wonder if I should put out a condition" Prinella While hitting the forefinger of her right hand on the chin, Prinella twists her neck to think into it. She looks just like a beautiful figure...... I don''t think anything wrong. "Venusera! Break up with this guy right now!" "Eh¡­¡­?" Ah, as I thought. "I told you earlier, I do not want such a man to be my brother-in-law. So, if Venusera breaks up with this guy, I will release the both of you......" Prinella "As I said earlier, it is impossible for you to change my mind!" Venu "Yes, you are stubborn....... It''s pretty cool" Prinella In response to Venu''s repulsion, again, Prinella irritates her nails irritatedly. Did we really hurt her mood, this time she raised and lowered the heel to the sound of her boots. After all, even if you think about it, that''s it. "......Hey, I think I will have to intervene soon" Craft "Whaaatt? Minor character be silent......" Prinella "You''re actually insanely fond of Venu, right?" Craft As soon as I pointed it out, Prinella stops moving her legs and stiffens. Then, with the claws caught, turning her face to this place with a little movement that seems to make a sound...... "Haa? Haaaaaa? Why are you going to do that? You''re crazy, aren''t you?" Prinella "Craft, what are you suddenly saying?" Venu It is as if I can''t believe it, but I see Venu with a frown face. It is a natural reaction from Venu, who has a feud with her older sister......I was convinced. "Maybe, but this guy......don''t you think she is trying to let us break up because I¡äm not the right person for you to marry? If so, she can forget about the past somehow" "Aren''t you an idiot?I''m not sure why that would happen! I don''t like anything about Venu......" Prinella "Well, if that hated sister gets married to a guy like me, you''re gonna be fine, right?" Craft "Surely, that is......" Prinella Unwillingly tolerated, Prinella lets you swim in her eyes eagerly. "If that''s the problem. But now that you''ve been trying to use your hands to try to make it a disaster......your underlying motive is visible?" Craft "Well, it is certainly so, no matter how big elder sister is, you are too persistent......" Venu "Just a minute! What is that? I don''t let the two of you fool me, I''m offended!" Prinella While stepping on the beneficiary, Prinella chagrined to stare at us. Sulky gesture that sharpened her watery eyes and lips......believe it or not, shall I try to make sure. "Hey, PriPri, I have something I''d like to ask" Craft "Hee? Pri......Pri? Dear, what have you said right now?" Venu "It''s PriPri, because her name is Prinella, Prito, Baretoria, isn''t it pretty?" Craft I intentionally made a sudden nickname......that also includes nuances that seemed a little stupid. Her response to this messy calling is what I suppose to get...... "Whaat! My name is Prinella! Don''t call me PriPri!" Prinella ......Excellent bingo. Well, this girl is getting nervous. "Why are you calling my older sister by a nickname?The only one who Craft can call with a nickname is me! You heard that Craft!" Venu "Do not pull your neck!" Craft Here is the bothersome reaction! Oh damn it! Thoughts are shaken...... "!! I can''t forgive you! How dare you flirt in front of my very eyes!" Prinella Together with Prinella¡äs anger, the metal sound that dust and hammer rise are reverberating. At the moment when I turned my vision there, Prinella¡äs finger hung on the trigger©¤ "Die and recompense! You pervert!" Prinella *Bang* At the moment the gunshot came in my ear......a dull touch that pierced my left chest. "Gaa, haa!" Craft Black magic gun Angelos made by black magic iron. That memorable first bullet was incorrect and hit the head of my heart cleanly. "......Craft? Craft! No, noooooooo!" Venu Venu who noticed the situation embraces me......it will probably be too late. Ah, I got worried......damn it. I will die in such a place....... "Do, doctor! Older sister, please call a doctor as soon as possible!" Venu "Ah, that......different, I......I''m weak, I adjusted the magical bullet and shot......" Apparently it seems that Prinella didn''t intend to kill me seriously, she fell on her knees from the shock. Well, it does not matter how it turned out now as my heart was shot through. "Ve......nu......I am already" "Don¡¯t talk! You certainly can be saved!" I felt that the beating of my heart was several times faster than normal. Hot. It''s the feeling of being shot into the heart. First and then finally, a good experience...... "You, everyone......I love you......" Craft "Noo, Craft! My elder sister''s a murderer! I will never forgive you!" Venu "It¡äs......different Venusera......I, I......eh?" Prinella "Hmm? What? It doesn''t hurt at all?" Craft I wake up and raise my upper body in the posture which was hugged by Venu. There is no appearance that blood flows, though my whole body burns since a while ago. Or rather, the blood is concentrated in one place©¤©¤ "A, are you alright Craft......kyaaa!!" Venu "Wh, What is this!" It was reflected in the sight of me and Venu who tried to confirm the safety of my body, but my alter ego which towering valiant......the Danthes of the crotch. It swelled to the length close to the original size and thickness and it is about to break out of my pants and Venu¡äs hand which supports me is pushed back. Eh? What is this, why is it standing up in this way? "Na, Nanananaa! Craft! You¡äre a pervert who gets excited by being shot by a gun!" Venu "Why is that! This surely is due to the bullet just before!" Craft Something comes to my mind and I take out Rin¡äs letter which I pushed into the pocket of my cloak. This was the instructions about Angelos I received yesterday. "This and that......Angelos power and range improved far more than before, which makes it difficult to handle, but you¡äll be able to master it soon" Craft Up to this point is normal content. Including sentences celebrating the previously written marriage, the strange part is....... "Ah, for celebrating your wedding, I have included one special magic bullet, when you shoot yourself with it you can continue to hold a woman for three days and three nights. At the same time for your five partner it will be tough, so do your best and work hard to make a child......is that fellow the culprit!?" Craft Because Prinella pulled the trigger without knowing such a circumstance, the energy reinforcement bullet shot me? I was saved because of that, but......I don''t want to rejoice honestly. "This is how it is. The unexpected harvest is that PriPri was weak in this kind of thing" Craft "Kyuu......man.....big......peni......swelling" Prinella She saw my swollen crotch and Prinella fell down. As I imagined, it seems that she was a considerable girl. She was reacting only by the word virgin. "Okay, lets escape during this gap" Craft "Yeah, but that......Craft, that state is still painful, is not it?" Venu "Hmm? Ah, it''s a bit itching......but to be honest, I don''t want to let it out" Craft "Ha, Hahahaa, let it out? Well, again, with my own hands, that......touching?" Venu "Well, yes......but we have to escape from here and I don''t ask you because it''s embarrassing" Craft Taking back Angelos from the collapsed Prinella, I at the same time look for the key to the prison. It is painful that my crotch which became too big hits the ground right now, but I can endure it. "If it''s hard and dull, I wish I could help you, even if I need to do it!" Venu "......Venu, what are you saying so suddenly?" Craft "I, I can''t overlook my husband''s suffering as your wife!" Venu Venu encloses me as if to sit back from behind. No, no. Even with Venu¡äs body who has nothing to do normally, if this body is lifted up...... "I have Craft¡äs hot......I will cool it down" Venu "Venu......is it okay for you? I feel like it''s bad for everyone, but......" Craft "This is an emergency situation! That''s why it''s not counting!! Not counting!" Venu Her face is red. Her eyes are turning around and around. The snort is rough in the state of excitement and Venu strengthens the power of her arm. She is somewhat like Efrika. It sounds like Efrika¡äs voice somehow....... "Haaa, Haaa! Nii-san, Nii-san¡äs genital became like this......Haahh" ??? Yes, this voice. The only one calling me Nii-san, it really is Efrika...... "...............Efrika?" Craft "Ah......no. I was just glancing at it" Efrika "Efrika-dono, no matter how much, anyone''s tension is too much" Musashi Behind the fence, my eyes meet with a red-haired woman and a black-haired woman looking through from the shadows of the stairs. Oh, even though it''s been for the first time in a while......I''m happy to see them. "What, Efrika! Musashi-san! Are you guys alright?" Venu "Right now it''s hard to infiltrate so that we won''t be noticed by the upper guards" Efrika and Musashi walk up to the front of the prison, making quiet footsteps. Efrika that is fluffy. I guess they comes to support us and rush to help. "Nhuhuhuu......Venusera, I''m going to condemn you for your escape" Efrika Everything is going to be a good prospect. The appearance and the tone of Efrika which grins with a evil smile seem to be reminiscent of princess PriPri somewhat. "Hii! I''m sorry! A demon has arrived!" Prinella I feel like I understand why Venu often collided with Efrika. "Well, there is nothing wrong. No, nevertheless Craft-dono¡äs penis is terrific!" Musashi "Don''t look so much, this is a doping with magic power, and if it is expected to be disappointed at the time of the real thing......I''m going to cry" Craft "Nhuhuu, I guess, you know, it was Rin and Zenan? So nice and funny...... it''s about those two people who do stupid things¡± Efrika Seeing through everything Efrika draws out her cane from the belt-like sheath wrapped around her waist and brings it close to the keyhole of the prison. And the moment the crystal at the tip of the cane glows purple......a sound is ringing. "Yes, it''s time to escape, Nii-san" Efrika "You, you could use the key breaking magic! Is this for sure, isn''t it a super high forbidden magic?" Craft To master it you need magic talent since birth and it''s a difficulty level that requires a huge practice period. I gave up as it was too difficult trying to remember it in the past...... in the first place, the magic that is prohibited from being used under the provisions of the continental law. Nonetheless, no restriction has been imposed on the learning itself. "It was hard for me to learn. At 10 years old Nii-san took a lock on his room......when I was locked up in the closet, I despaired all over the world! But I endured! To see Nii-san''s sleeping face! I''m wearing Nii-san¡äs pants!" Efrika "Oh, Efrika is a pervert without salvation!" Venu "It''s not easy enough to express this woman in such simple words" Craft Regardless of the runaway of Efrika, I and Venu finally got out of the prison with this. "Craft......you also had a hard time with your cousin things" Venu "You know, Venu. I can''t count the number of pants I''ve ever lost" Craft "The pants of Nii-san which had been stolen so far are 1526 pieces. 413 pieces by Zenan, 17 pieces by Leona and 100 pieces by the knight captain......" Efrika "Just saying something stupid......no wait, why does Leona want my pants?" Craft "Come on. The next is regrettable, but it is my turn to treat Nii-san¡äs crotch" Efrika "Hey, you! Don''t ignore me! Why does Leona want my pants......ahiii" Craft As she listens to my words, Efrika pushes the cane of Eromiel against my groin. Just a little reminder don''t touch it! "Aah, it''s hard and sturdy......I want to eat it, but it''s an emergency now" Efrika Efrika begins to cast a spell while drool drips down from the edge of her mouth. What are you doing, I can observe how you¡äre resisting the wave of pleasure that overflows...... "Yes, there is no problem with this" The transparent crystal of the size of a little finger appears in the empty space. Efrika grasp it and handed it to me quickly. "The magic of the enhancement that was poured into Nii-san was made to be extracted from the body and crystallized......an amount of magic power that can be solidified......if my extraction was delayed, Nii-san would have exploded into many pieces" Efrika told me so......and there is no hot feeling that let my crotch swell up suddenly. Efrika is reliance on this aspect. "I think that the technique to extract magic power wasn''t too difficult, but is this a medical treatment?" I ask while storing the crystal in my cloak pocket and Efrika nods. "It''s a technique that can remove the power of a bad lesion and conversely give magic power to a weakened organ" Efrika "Well, it is amazing, as I thought the line between a pervert and a genius is thin" Craft Do you think that you should praise or decline? The sorrow of backlash has disappeared by this. "Well, lets escape from here quickly!" Venu "Well wait Venu. Even if we escape like this, we may be mistaken as the one who attacked Prinella. Even if nothing happened to Prinella, it wouldn¡¯t really help us" Craft If she wanted, it might become impossible for us to participate in the shooting tournament. In any case, we should escape without increasing the noise. "Huumu...... there is no use. Efrika, you talk about the strategy you were talking about" Craft "Strategy? Is there any good idea?" Venu "Yes, but it depends on Nii-san¡äs cooperation whether it succeeds or not" Efrika As Efrika said so, she gradually removes the clasp of her chest metal plate. And I''m keeping an eye on what it''s all about©¤©¤ "Well, can you take off yours too Nii-san?" Efrika ""......Hee?"" Craft and Venu Venu and I who raise a cheeky voice to these sudden words. Take off......my clothes? "It''s fine. Now, there''s no time!" Efrika "Venusera-dono, please leave the dressing to me!" Musashi "Why are you wearing clothes all of a sudden? No, you don''t have to take my dress off, iyaaa!" Venu Musashi jumps at Venu all of a sudden and keeps trying to force her to undress. Oh, I see. I finally understood the purpose of Efrika. "......Of course, I also undress, and I exchanged it with you, right?" Craft "Well, of course, Nii-san, just so you know, i¡¯m already in my underwear now" Efrika In retrospect, there will be a spectacle like a dream there. But, if I lose to the temptation it is over. I throw off my cloak and shirt, and even goggles and holster, and finally put down my pants while rebelling against the overflowing libido. "Naaaa! Nii-san¡äs pants appearance......haa, haaa! Muhuu, irresistible!" Efrika "Just give me your dress Efrika! Damn it!" Craft I try not to put Efrika''s body in sight as much as possible, I only will receive her freshly - taken off dress. Musashi and Venu¡äs clothes changing seems to be progressing in the back and the voice of Musashi who seemed to be enjoying it and the voice of Venu sobbing are alternately heard. "I am wrapped up by Nii-sanr''s clothes......aah, as always. wonnnderful......" Efrika What is sad is that I must wear your dress. The size is too tight and it is unbearable to say that it is Efrika¡äs clothes above all. Because she, she smells so good. "Aahh! Nii-san is wearing my dress! And it suits you!" Efrika "......I also think it suits you so much that it¡¯s useless" Craft It is soooo surprising like twins. There is somewhat a uncomfortable feeling, but there is nothing out there. Efrika whose hair got shorter as my hair became long and refreshing became worse. If we aren''t close to each other, we shouldn''t notice such a difference. "Aah, not good Nii-san. You can''t be the saint of Dibair with such an eye-catching appearance!" Efrika "Be silent. You are not a prince. so tell me more about your plan" Craft "I think you know, but now I and Musashi will stay here as replacement for Nii-san and Venu. It''s a relief for the time being, as you can escape!" Efrika "I can''t accept it! I can''t let you remain here as it is, right?" Craft Wearing Musashi ''s kimono and armor, Venu stands up. It seems that the size does not match, and it is heavy for her so it seems she cant move very much. Venu who tied up her blond tremendously precious hair is very cute. "Baa! My chest is suffering......guuu, it seems to be cut off......" Musashi "You''re dead! No, please let me kill you!" Venu On the other hand, Musashi who dressed as Venu and wears her gothic dress holds down her chest with a pale face. Because she is covered with a hood, she doesn''t seem to worry about balding with hair color. "Venu, you''re the only one who can win the shooting tournament. Be humiliated, but be patient now" Craft "I, I know. If Craft says that......" Venu "Aah Nii-san! We will entrust our lives to you!" Efrika "Ah, that''s right, Efrika. What are you going to do with your hair length?" Craft While avoiding Efrika, who jumps at me for a kiss, I talk about the last concern. The shirt which is pushing up because of her chest which is too large might fool somehow with the cloak, but only her hair which extends from the head cant trick someone. "Itatata......it''s okay, there''s nothing wrong with this" Efrika That said, Efrika carries the dagger she took out from behind to the back of her neck. Then she grabbed her back hair with her empty left hand and cut it off at once. "Afterwards I will bundle this with a hair rubber....here, a proof that Nii-san should bring back, please" Efrika, who has short hair now in a moment, gave me the hair she bundled with an embarrassing attitude. No, no matter how luxurious you are, you! "E, Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Efrika! What did you do!" Venu "I don''t care about this a bit, aren''t we in an emergency now?" Efrika "Even in an emergency, you need to treat your hair as a woman''s life like that!" Venu Because she is a Baretorian who treats hair like a life, Venu seems to be unable to tolerate the behavior taken by Efrika. Well, I¡äm also stunned and I understand Venu¡äs feeling. "It''s okay, Venu. With my healing magic, I can quickly revert my hair to its original length" Efrika "Because hair is part of the body. No wonder I thought you were too good at it" Craft Even if Efrika, don''t you imitate to cut off your hair without thinking? "Uh, I still treat my hair more carefully! It is a cruel treat for an Baretorian to receive punishment for cutting the extended hair" Venu "Uh, I¡äm sorry, I didn''t care enough" Efrika "Both of you are going to be saved from the complicated story" "Well, the both of us will immediately rescue you so dont be unhappy!" "Yes, I understand" In the prison where we were trapped until a while ago, Efrika and Musashi enter inside while Venu and I hid in the blind spot of the stairs. Afterwards we just went up the stairs to see the gap...... "How long will the first princess be in the dungeon......" "Well, that''s it. What is she talking about with the ash-haired princess? Right after we hid, two guards came down the stairs from upstairs. It was a hair''s breadth. Now, I''m not sure if Efrika and Musashi will be exposed, but...... "What? That......first Princess? Ah, what is that!" Guard 1 "What is the matter with you? Were you attacked by those people?" Guard 2 Discovering the figure of Prinella that collapsed in front of the prison, the guards rushed in haste. Maybe because they were distracted by Prinella, they didn''t seem to have noticed us here. "U, uh......what happened? Oh, why am I sleeping in such a place?" Prinella Prinella was held by one of the guards and she looks inexplicably around. And, when standing up as it is, she stops her glance at Efrika and Musashi in the prison. Then, she opens her mouth. "Ah, I remembered! A little, a while ago you showed me something weird and strange!" Prinella "......Ha? I don''t understand what you mean?" Efrika To hide the bulge of her chest, Efrika is lying down with her back facing out of the prison and she responds while imitating my voice. The way of talking and the intonation is very similar to me, but....... "W,What? I wonder if you had such a high and beautiful voice?" Prinella "Be quiet. I''m tired of having such an idle chatter that my throat became dry" Efrika "Huuh? Well fine. More than that Venusera, this guy......that, strange......I think he showed me a vulgar appearance. You remember that, don''t you?" Prinella This time, Prinella speaks to Musashi who is crouching on the other side of the window. Musashi, she has a talent of being a actor unexpectedly. Surely deceive well...... "Wh, what? What''s the matter gozaru?" Musashi "......Gozaru? What did you said just now?" Prinella "Ah, noo! It''s nothing! Ohooohoohoho!!" Musashi Yes, it''s a mess. Come on, we only have to escape at last. When I stare at Venu, we pay attention to the stairs carefully so as not to make any noise. After that Venu follows me, but it seems to be hard for her to walk with a sword in this way. "......Hey Venusera? You, you had such big breasts?" Prinella "Well, it''s my growth period! Oh, elder sister doesn''t know such a thing!" Musashi "Hee? It seems to be bigger than mine somehow, your growth period is unbelievable......" Prinella Along with the gathered guards, Prinella pours a cold gaze into prison. "First princess, maybe they are impersonators......?" Guard 1 "It''s a good idea! I''m sorry but she can''t fix her hair, but her miserable breasts have grown so good" Prinella "No, First Princess, the hair looking out of the hood is definitely black......" Guard 1 "Keep silent. You have only to wait until I feel well" Prinella "......Haa! Certainly!" Guard 1 Hmm? I don''t know what it is, but Prinella doesn''t try to move from the front of the prison. I still have a lot to say to Prinella. "Craft, without delay......" Venu "Yes. The exit will be here soon" Craft Inspired by whispering and Venu behind me, I climbed up the stairs and opened the door. There is a window nearby. Afterwards go out there and just escape to the suburbs where Kaitos''s waiting. "Aahahaa, now! Now let me tell you more......Venusera" Prinella In the end, we succeeded in escaping from the dungeon with Prinella¡äs frolic voice from behind. "Indeed I doubted my ears when I heard you were caught, but that was the situation" Kaitos "Sorry Kaitos, it''s just that we screwed up" Craft We left Baretoria¡äs capital Belzia and escaped to the riverside in the suburbs and Venu and I were now meeting up with Kaitos to prepare for the camp. It is already dark, and the universally stars are shining in the night sky. Two tents were set up by the Riverside and a bonfire was between them. A large pot and cooking utensils are hung on the bonfire with white rice inside that Meri and the others made. As we are sitting around the fire that was laid around the bonfire, now we are sitting...... Where did we procure the ingredients and utensils for this alone, of course it was piled on Kaitos¡äs back. It would be what Zenan had prepared for insurance when something happened. "Don''t say anything right now, Craft. First, fill your stomach and prepare for tomorrow''s tournament" Kaitos "First of all, I wont eat this meal!!¡± Craft ¡°Oh, thank you, Kaitos, Meri. I''m just getting hungry" Venu "Then, let''s bring the plate as soon as possible¡± Kaitos Kaitos, who is already in the form of resting, looked in the pot. "Yes, Kaitos worked hard on the move, so please eat plenty" Meri Kaitos the workhorse gives me a plate with rice. It''s Kaitos that has shining eyes at the sight, but the back of Orochi is approaching...... "Gahuuuu!! Kubiiiii!!" Orochi "It hurtssss! Guuu, again huh Orochi!" Kaitos Orochi once again sticks to Kaitos¡äs head. Because Orochi is a snake demon, it might be recognized as a predator target of the resting state that the lizard is not seen. "ChuuChuu......oihii,kubii" Orochi "Guu, nuu......again, I lose strength....." kaitos "Hey, don''t bully Kaitos too much!" Meri "Shaaa! No, No" Orochi The unseen Meri lifts up Orochi and let her sit down in front of the dish of curry she prepared. "Shaa? What''s this? Poop?" Orochi "Haa, its different! Eat it with this spoon!" Meri "Is not it impossible? If you let her eat......" "Shaaa! Don''t look down on me! I can do this much!" Orochi Orochi snatches the spoon that Meri put out and places it on the plate vigorously. "Amuamuu......hahuhahuu, oihiisee!" Orochi Because she doesn''t know how to grip the spoon, Orochi let the rice drop and her mouth is fully smeared. ......Well it''s okay. Let her eat it as she likes. "Not yet finished with what you¡äre doing......mu? Hey Meri! It''s nothing to pass on to Orochi!" Kaitos "Wawaa! I¡äm sorry!" Orochi "Meri will help you. Come on, here, eat again with my help" Meri "Huuh! Meri''s cooking is outstanding, so I will forgive you for it!" Kaitos Say so quickly, Kaitos who receives a dish of curry with his small hand. Unlike Orochi, she can grasp the spoon with her handy tail and carries the curry to the mouth without dripping something and start eating. "Mugumugu, Meri, you are really good at cooking......lets open a shop" Kaitos "Ehehee, thank you very much. Someday I will get my revenge against Venusera!" Meri "Venu......? Which reminds me, she hasn''t come back yet?" When Venu and I joined up with Kaitos and the rest, she said she would change the clothes that she had been exchanged with Musashi, and went to the upper stream of the river. It is not good that she hasn''t returned yet...... "Shaa? Sweet, did she disappear? Or died?" Orochi "No, probably, I think she wanted to be alone" As soon as she returned home, she interacted with her older sister, so it isn''t unreasonable? "......Sorry, I''m going for a moment, you guys can wait here while eating" Craft When I gently place the dish on a bowl, I stand up to pursue Venu. "Muu, Craft. Are you going searching for Venu?" Kaitos "Yes, but is there something wrong?" Craft "It''s not a problem for me, but I think it''s a big problem for you" Kaitos Kaitos, who says so smiles and observes my whole body and continues to mix with laughter. "Huhu, you¡äre looking pretty like that. Venu will be pleased as well" Kaitos "......Ah, I forgot to take it off" craft I am going to encourage an important woman, but not as a crossdresser. But, when I''m wearing this dress, it seems that it is wrapped in Efrika¡äs smell, so it calms down. Because I can''t meet her for awhile, I want to be like this......! "This is just a pervert in this case, I......" Craft "She isnt be aware of this time, because it is Craft the pervert" "Do you want me to go as a pervert?" "Craft-sensei, I''m extremely fond of this ecchi thing" Meri I begin to take off the dress though the word which does not have the fragment of kindness and consideration is scratched. "Chikusho......this dress, after all, it smells nice" Craft It is only here the story that it has become a little tear eyes in the name of the reluctance. The plain along the riverside where the stream of clear streams remains in the ear comfortably. A lot of flowers bloom there, and one big tree grows in the center. "......Efrika, Musashi" Venu Under the stars in the sky, Venu muttered to blame herself. "Grandmother......I, what am I supposed to do?" Venu "Hey, Venu. It''s deja vu, this flow" Craft "Aa...............huhuu. Well, if you say so, Craft" Venu When I speak from behind, Venu smiles and then turns around. Unlike the time of Bremfai, a very calm reaction is coming back. "When you finally found me, have you been pursuing me after all?" Venu "Yes. I think that the two of them trusted us so they took over our place......" "That''s it. I''m not......say it in front of them. They''ll be seriously offended" "That......I want to refrain. I don''t like being offended" With the rustling of the armor, Venu sit down in front of a big tree. Following that, I sat down alongside her. As if, like that time©¤©¤ "......You¡äre not wearing the dress anymore. Did you have a change of clothes?" Venu "No, this is what Kaitos wears when she is in her human form. That''s why the chest is so amazing" Craft Because of the big breasts of kaitos, the chest of the shirt has been stretched out as much as possible. Because of that, when I wear it, it''s going to be sloppy. The belly isn''t changed to the back. "Yes, but it''s a bit disappointing. It smells like Kaitos-san" Venu "But it''s a nice smell, too. And I can smell Musashi from you too" Craft With a big tree on the back, Venu and I huddled shoulder to each other. Just like this, the mind feels at ease enough to come to think of superfluous language. Surely, Venu will feel the same as me. "Craft, actually this place......it is a very important place for me" Venu "This is an important place? This......riverside?" Craft A lot of flowers and trees behind us are visible only on ordinary plains...... "This is the place where my grandma first met my grandfather. And over and over again in this place......before long, my grandfather proposed to my grandma here" Venu "Hee......its romantic" Craft "Yes. And in order of my grandparents wills......their ashes are buried here" Venu "Buu! Their ashes, here?" Craft Come on. We¡äre sitting in such a place, is that really okay? "By the way, the ashes of my father and mother are also here. Her Majesty was against it, even though she was so kind to me. Only a part of it is under this tree" Venu "It''s like a tomb, isn''t it?" Craft "That''s right. However, there is a formal tomb in the castle" Venu I put my hand on the tree behind me and Venu looks awfully in love. I see. In the tomb of the castle, Venu''s mother''s ashes aren''t there. Venu''s mother is a concubine and commoner. It''s not good if you have it in the royal tomb. "I''ve only seen it in pictures before, but I was able to come at last tonight. Father, mother, grandfather......and, grandma......I just got home" Venu Venu embraces the big tree strongly. Because this big grave is for people important to Venu, I also have to greet them neatly. "Umm......I, I¡äm Craft. Venusera-san and I are married......I''m going to make her happy anyway, please treat me well" Craft "Puu! What are you suddenly saying?" Venu "Wait, don''t laugh! In my opinion, I think I have to make a good marriage greeting" Craft Before Princess Prinella and the Queen of Baretoria, it''s a good idea to greet these people here first. "Craft......yes. I''m sure my father is happy to give his blessing" Venu "I am happy, but first of all I do not prove that I am not just a mouth" Craft "That''s right. Craft, you don''t need to rely on the occasional" Venu "I am sorry, so please do not try out only affection" Craft "Hey, it''s okay, I will always love Craft" Venu Releasing her hands from the big tree, this time Venu hugs my body. The armor which hits me is painful, but......I will silently accept it. "Craft, I have been anxious......since we got married......" Venu I noticed that Venu''s body was shaking slightly. "I was able to find my place by marrying Craft. But because of that, I could never see my people again, and they might not be able to acknowledge my existence" Venu With such anxiety, did Venu want to return to Baretoria? As we were walking through the city of Belzia, I knew that she was going to get bashing from the people......yet, desperately trying to recognize her existence to the people. "So, tomorrow''s shooting tournament is a break from the past. To blow that horrid memories away......I have to win the tournament" Venu Even though Venu decides to prepare for this, I can only watch over her. "It is impure with such a motive, so I should do my best for Bunna......" Venu "That''s good. The one with a lot of targets burns by far......interesting, isn''t it?" Craft But, it is different from now. No, we must change it differently. I don''t know what I can do......but I just do what I can do. "Once I''ve regained the sacred stone and saved Bunna, they''re going to have to admit our marriage" Venu "At such a moment......but if you win the shooting tournament you will win everything......the winner will be able to audit with the Queen in order to ask for privilege...... you can directly address the marriage" Craft "Ah, One more thing I can aiming for......" Venu "Of course not only the victorious prize, the necklace of the stone, but also fame comes with the winner.When the victory can be achieved, the eyes of the people against Venu will change perfectly. Well, be relieved Venu. Everything will go well" Craft Slowly holding the shoulder together, aVenu and I lined up looking up at the starry sky. The stars that should be far away......are wonderful and only tonight can be thought of as a close being. Right now I still can''t grasp them if I extend my hand...... but I will definitely let you know. "......Yes, I will continue to follow Craft no matter whatever happens" Venu For the important woman standing next to me too, I vow©¤©¤ Volume 2, 6: Ashes and Red Riding Hood Volume 2, Chapter 6: Ashes and Red Riding Hood Baretoria¡äs Shooting Tournament. It is said that in the history of Baretoria, it is a ceremonial festival that is venerable. Those who have surpassed the tough qualifiers of each region are cutting the gap......only one person will survive. The winner is given the highest honor and reward and seems to be treated like a hero. "You finally came......" Craft A huge Colosseum built in the center of Belzia. This is the place of the shooting tournament and now the surrounding area was filled with an overwhelming number of people. Regardless of domestic and overseas, many people gathered at a glance at the moment when a hero will be born, it would have been a good tourism unless we were in a situation where we were in a downhill situation. "Let''s decide quickly Venu" Craft "Ye, Yes. I guess I¡äll be fine" Venu I hit the shoulder of Venu sideways by the procession lined with the general admission entrance. Venu changed the clothes she exchanged with Musashi and wears a new dress. Her face is quite pale and apparently she seems to be nervous in front of the tournament. "Achya, I''m getting down!" Venu "Umm, Venu. So hard you can not bring out your full power?" Kaitos Kaitos in rest mode peeps into Venu''s face anxiously while fluttering her small wings. On the other hand, Venu hurriedly denied the worrying....... "It''s Venusera! Well, I am nervous......!!" Venu "Shashasha. I can not see it so much" Orochi Walking behind Venu was Orochi who laughed loudly. Long silver hair and orange eyes. The poncho she is wearing hasn''t changed, but she has made a big change since last night. She seemed like a different person s......a terrible change. "......This is, as I thought, that thing, right?" "What¡¯s that? Please don¡¯t stare so much?" The height which extended greatly to the fluent way of talking. Along with it, a slightly bulging chest appeared....... The missing of the girl likeness, features to peek into bewitching. So, in short, she grew up. She changed completely from the first appearance which looked younger than Leona and her appearance now will be 14 or 15 years. The age of the appearance might be not related so much because the actual age of Orochi will exceed every imagination. "Well, it''s been pretty until last night. Shorty" Kaitos "If you think that the contents grew as well as the appearance, it is about the rebellious period" Craft "What it is like a guardian...... seriously, it feels like that" Craft "Ushaa, hey hey. Did you combine it!" Orochi Even though we are her life benefactor, this ungrateful snake...... "Ushaaa. Come on, get the receptionist. I keep walking in the morning and my legs are sore" Orochi That''s it, Orochi sitting on the bench set up on the outer wall of the Colosseum. The size of the poncho which was large was exactly perfect size and the bare legs that would be visible every time she rearrange them is brilliant. Well, I''m not interested in a brat. "Ah, Craft. Our child has strayed from the right path......" Kaitos Since when did she become our child, that tsukkomi is thoughtless. "Hey Kaitos, that''s all......" Craft "Umm, I know. Apparently seems to have robbed some of my magical powers" Kaitos Kaitos who is flying next to me gently strokes so that only I can hear it. The fact that Orochi who got lost and turned into a young girl grew into a girl in her puberty in this way is that she is regaining her original power. Its probability will probably be sticky to Kaitos. "What are you going to do? I think the sooner you hit her hand, the better......" Kaitos "No, as long as I can''t understand the real intention of her, I shouldn''t put my hands on her yet" Craft If Orochi regains her power to some extent, the battle will intensify and the surroundings will be damaged. It is not a good idea to fight in such a place where there are so many people, and it would be better not to irritate badly unless it is not decided that Orochi is bad. "But don''t neglect your vigilance. I will keep as much watch as possible" Kaitos "I got it. I''ll be wary of any more magic" Craft "Craft-sensei? What are you talking with Kaitos since a while ago?" Meri Meri is coming in front of Kaitos and me as we discuss about Orochi. Does she stay here so that Venu doesn''t have to worry unnecessarily before the tournament? "It''s nothing. Let''s finish the reception quicker than that" Craft "Th, that''s right! Once the reception time has passed, all the plans are water bubbles!" Venu Venu recalls the original purpose and starts walking towards the reception tent in a nervous tense situation. Being worried about Venu, we decided to follow behind her. "But Craft. I guess there is a qualifying in this tournament. Venu hasn''t received that qualifying, is not it possible to participate in the competition like this?" Kaitos "Ah, that''s okay. Yesterday I was also worried and asked, but the second place of the previous tournament seems to be able to use the seed right, so she can qualify from the sudden final selection" Craft It is said that those who won the shooting tournament can''t participate again. In that case, the second place of the previous tournament will be the winner. So they are given seed rights. "I''m relieved! Venu''s shooting skills are wonderful!" Meri "I am not worried about it, but there are many other problems" Craft One of the problems is the reception that Venu is doing now, but......whether it will go well or not isn''t known. There is no other choice but to pray to the heaven. "Ah, emm......I, I would like to participate in the tournament" Venu "Welcome to the reception desk of the 50th Baretorian shooting tournament. Present your presentation if you have a participation certificate. If you have any other requirements please use this form" receptionist "Ee......emm, it''s this paper" Venu It seems that the receptionist''s level is quite high because it is a competition related to the prestige of the country. Even if she looks at Venu¡äs figure, she won''t change her complexion, and urging a smooth procedure......done! "I''ve written. Sorry for the inconvenience, but please accept it" Venu "Yes, I got it. Wanting a seed frame Venusera Lloyd......Dibair, is it? One moment I will check if the application content is incomplete" Receptionist After looking at the received paper, the receptionist stands up and leaves somewhere. Well, this feeling......After all, have you been hand-turned? With Musashi¡äs blunder, it will already be exposed that we have escaped....... "The only possibility that I''m betting is......that guy will help" Craft "That guy? What do you mean, Craft. Do you have a friend who is supposed to be our strength?" Kaitos ''It is a friend or a fellow who rebelled my heart, perhaps he ought to hit his hand" Craft Nonetheless, it can be expected that the assistance can be expected in half. "Uu......I seem to spit out last night''s calorie" Venu "......Venusera-sama, I kept you waiting" Receptionist As we keep watching, the receptionist returns and walks in front of Venu. What it will be? Is it okay or......? "Although it is the seed frame you applied, you can use it without problems. Venusera-sama has been decided to participate from the eighth match of the main tournament at 2.pm" Receptionist "Is it true?" Venu "Yes, I pray for Venusera-sama''s good luck" Receptionist "CrCr, Craft! I did it! I can participate!" Venu With a smile in full bloom, Venu runs to this place with pleasure. "Very good, but it''s too early to show your emotions" Craft "Yes. But, unlike last time were I participated in the qualifying matches......this time I don''t need to do it as I¡äm seeded, but I feel bad for the preliminaries" Venu Hiding the feature, winning the preliminaries from the preliminaries to the final round. Regardless of the final result, there seems to be a place to think about Venu that knows its difficulty to participate in the seed frame. "Well, if you win, you are the number one that''s the fact, so if you think that it is bad for the preliminary, you have to win with overwhelming difference" Craft "Th, that''s right! I will make sure to win this tournament once I win!" Venu "Hou, Venu¡äs turn is at 2 o''clock, so you need to eat lunch before then" Meri "NaaNaa Venu! The cooking stalls are going to be delicious?" Kaitos "It''s Venuseral! Mou, we''ll go to report to Orochi-chan first!" Venu Three people rushing to the bench where Orochi waits with the feeling of excitement after an usual interaction. Well, I also want to chase after them......but I have to check something before. "Hey, the receptionist over there" Craft "Yes? Do you need something from me?" Receptionist "Who were you going to take the confirmation before? Was it the first princess?" Craft Asking the receptionist who got back to the window, she turns to the side with a face that is troubled only for a moment. It was exactly the expression that I wanted to see to get the answer....... "Ah, it''s enough. It is enough to know that she is nearby" Craft Perhaps she was waiting since the reception began. When we come to the reception like this, immediately give instructions to the receptionist......so that the receptionist can give permission to let Venu participate in the tournament. "......Yoo, elder sister. How about not hiding in such a place and come out?" Craft As the receptionist got closer towards the line of sight directed towards it, a blonde head is sticking out as if peeking through from the shadow of the entrance for the stakeholders who clung to the inside of the colosseum. This brilliance, gloss hair is almost the same as Venu''s hair......, it can only be that person. "Oh, why are you in such a place?" Prinella "Stop playing at all, I''m aware of it already" Craft Unlike the first impression, Prinella seems to be pretty funny. While she says something, I can see that those two are sisters. "Haa? What a smell! Somehow this smell is really impolite!" Prinella Prinella who jumped out from the entrance aisle in front of me stares at me. It is my sister-in-law who is badly conceited. "Don''t talk about body odor, you smell like Venu anyway" Craft "......Th, That''s right. I know you well, I''m going to compliment you" Prinella This time she turns around and it is a good-looking Prinella. Is she easy to handle? "Hey PriPri. I can not say it well, but thank you very much" Craft "My name is Prinella! Did I do something to make you thank me!?" Prinella Although it is Prinella who doesn''t try to admit it naturally, it is impossible for her to realize it is so blatant. Whatever she thinks, Prinella''s true mind is©¤©¤ "You, You don''t dislike Venu anyway" Craft "Nbuaa! Wh, Why are you saying such a quack?" Prinella "I already noticed that you sent a letter against the marriage, anyway" Craft The head of the blonde as it is jumps like a bouncy. Instead of being easy to understand, it seems weak to shake. "You were trying to send a letter against the marriage, to pull Venu back to Baretoria......you wanted her to go to the shooting tournament and win the prize" Craft Even without going to the qualifying, Venu who can participate in the seed frame has a high possibility of winning because of her ability. If she is possible to win it......the highest honor is waiting for her. "If she wins, she may not be bullied because of her hair color anymore, so she will lose her nickname as ash-haired princess and sister''s drowsiness, so you sisters can become friends......" Craft "Haaa? I¡äm good friends with Ve, Venusera? Not......not the least, I can''t accept the lowest thing!" Prinella To what extent I am standing, Prinella looks at the other side and hides her expression. "Have you been purposely fighting to make Venu defeat her opponents and motivate her? If so, you¡äre a fool, as Venu who do not want to lose will aim for the victory with desperation" Craft "......Ah, I didn''t want to motivate her" Prinella Considering this, all the things fits together. She didn''t do any imitations that would hurt Venu as she repeatedly told me to offend herself......she also overlooked our escape. "Don''t worry. We don''t care about your thoughts, we are aiming for the victory from the beginning" Craft "......Hmm, just a little talk from a little while ago, is it all the imagination of you?" Prinella "Yeah, I do not have any confirmation, I just think of it without permission" Craft "To that extent you have a confident face, do not you think you can hardly believe me in the first meeting for the moment, you are an idiot, a funny idiot?" Prinella Her blue eyes have been pouring a grueling gaze into my eyes, as if she explores my true heart. So neither I nor she is bargaining anything. Let''s tell a word without false thoughts. "You are Venu¡äs sister" Craft "......Ne? Because I am Venusera''s older sister?" Prinella "Yes. You are the sister of that gentle Venu, which when I heard about past things from Venu I thought you were a hero......but actually you see me" Craft Hair color. Facial expression. gesture. voice. Clothing. Of course there are such parts, too. Where she talk in a strong tone to hide her true heart. She was called by a nickname and got stuck. Occasionally, the place where she is gazing at Venu with lovely eyes. That feeling oozing out from various parts. Warmth remember......without doubt. "You looked like Venu. It''s an element that I trust enough for just that." Craft Even when I helped Orochi who is similar to Kaitos. If my beloved bride, if it is close to her existence......I don''t think that one is a bad guy. "If you do make a fool, do that, but I do not mean to change my mind" Craft "......I¡äm not an idiot. There is no one in my eyes to begin with" Prinella Once again, Prinella diverts her line of sight from me again and returns to the entrance leading to the inside of the Colosseum. At that time, pointing at the reception tent at the back, she continues to open her mouth. "Oh yes, the gun I took from you is in there, it''s not a sweet tournament that you can win with a spare gun......so you recover it quickly" Prinella "Ah, which reminds me Virgil was taken up as well" Craft I didnt think about it. Even though he was originally my partner......sorry Virgils. "Emm......Craft, it''s alright? There''s just one last thing I need to say" Prinella "Hmm? Do you still have anything left to say?" Craft Just before fading into the Colosseum, Prinella turns around here by accident. "......please take care of that girl" Prinella It was a momentary event......but I could see it well and heard it. "To make that kind of gentle smile. As I though, she¡¯s her sister" Craft "Craft! What are you doing so long?" Venu The voice of Venu who calls from afar is heard. Well, it looks like I have kept her waiting. "Ah, I will come now! Bringing a big souvenir" How to take the mood of the former beloved gun that will be forgotten and sulky. I was so happy that I started walking towards the reception tent. Inside the Colosseum wrapped in cheers and enthusiasm. Unlike the general visitors who crushed in the circular bleachers, the contestants and their stakeholders were waiting for the time of their turn in the dressing room. "Hmm, sixteen people in total, if you win four times, you will win......" Kaitos While the air is hyper with tension, Kaitos, which was embraced by Orochi, murmurs while gazing at the tournament table posted on the wall of the waiting room. "ShaShaaa! Long until you get the sacred stone! Let''s finish it quickly!" Orochi "Hey, Orochi. Don''t get noisy because you will get in the way of other contestants" Venu "Separately it is okay, because Orochi thinks you are going to win, so don''t bother with it" Kaitos That''s why Orochi glances at the contestants who are sitting on chairs prepared in the waiting room and taking care of their guns. Her face was full of pure malice, with no fragments of innocence. "You cant do it, Orochi-chan. I cant tolerate you manipulating this sacred competition" Venu Venu arouse Orochi while embracing her returned magic gun. "Besides, everyone here has won through quite a lot of qualifyings, so it doesn''t make much sense to make a disturbance" Venu "The aura is different just by looking at it like this" Craft Unlike Venne who took us with her, the other contestants silently gone solitary and kept cleaning their guns. It seems that they think only about about the degree of the sound of the vicinity, such as this noise. "Uuu, I dont like this kind of air" Venu "Anyway, all you have to do is beat them here......kishaa!" Orochi "I will win without doing that, so please support me too, Orochi-chan" Venu Venu sitting on a chair adjusts various guns arranged on a desk. "From a sniper gun to a shotgun......do you need so many guns?" Craft "Yes, the content of the tournament''s match will be made available just before the match, at that time I choose several guns that I am going to use" Venu In other words, it is difficult to win if you are not able to handle a large number of guns. That''s why a magic gun is advantageous. If it is a magic gun, you can change the type of bullet with your magical power. "I''m getting hungry from waiting" Kaitos "Yes, my belly is also ringing since a little while ago" Orochi Even though we just now finished lunch......this hungry pair. "I''ll buy you something later, so please be patient a little more, Venu''s match is starting soon" Craft "I don''t care. Let''s suppose that I eat the sweets on the desk there until that time" Kaitos "I don''t mind eating them, but don''t step on my shoulder, I will eat it......is it already time?" Meri While we are interacting, two contestants who finished their match come back to the waiting room. One is frustrated and has his shoulder dropped down and the other has a sunny look on his face. If you look at the appearance that light and dark are separated clearly, the winner and loser is obvious. "Now the contestants of the seventh match. Next is your turn" Staff "Venuseral! We all will cheer for you, so do your best!" Meri "Yes, I will do my best for Bunna. Craft and everyone else, please wait here with relief" Venu Actually, I don''t think that Venu will lose. However, only the words that Prinella said a while ago is a little worrisome and it cant be helped. "......Don''t be afraid Venu. Whatever you hear from the surroundings, I......we are your friends" Craft "Huhuu, I know that. I am the happiest person in the world" Venu With various guns in her sleeves and dress, Venu rises from the chair. I admire that the amount of gun is enough to fit in...... "Happy? Haa, can you don''t make me laugh? Venusera-sama" Contestant One of the contestants who are waiting in the waiting room stands up in a hurry and turns his face towards us. It was an aristocratic man who had a fearless face and a slender tall body. "Why are you selling quarrels, I buy anything" Craft "You¡äre like the rumors, Prince Craft. You are a rumored person" Contestant The way the man talks also sticks to the nose, let me become increasingly annoyed. Suddenly involved, what is that guys¡äs purpose. "Oops, this is rude. I''m always in trouble with this mouth of mine that is honest" Snobby man "Please tell me the matter at the moment. You are busy before the match" Venu Venu protects me and I stare at the snobby man. I don''t want to be too rough as Venu will be troubled if I move my hand....... "Let me assure you that only I will win this competition. Venusera-sama is impossible" Snobby man The man ignores my gaze and looks down at Venu while talking sarcastically. "You said a funny thing earlier. It is not permissible to disturb this sacred competition......kukuu, it is a line of this place" Snobby man "......I ask you, but what does that mean?" Venu "The fact that the ash-haired princess participates is a stain to this tournament and also you brought vulgar people into Bunna......no wonder it smells bad here" Snobby man These words create a low laughter in the waiting room. Only one woman who stood while stretching her arms around the corner of the waiting room isn''t smiling. "Giggles. Noo......what''s this dress, isn''t it ashamed?" Contestant 1 "Ahahahaa, you can be like a savage Bunna person. I feel like I''m in the zoo" Contestant 2 Contestants who had been silent until now also began to hang behind the scenes against Meri. Is this discrimination to Bunna? It is my first time to witness......seriously disgusting. "Ahahahaa! You will not win. Everyone here will prevent Venusera¡äs victory ba all means, although this one will beat you in the first round......" Contestant "Chit, I cant believe it. Who''s winning is unimportant......what are you doing, as long as you participate in the tournament, anyone who aims to win is the same. It doesn''t matter" Venu Even if everyone in this waiting room had Venu as an enemy, they are all here to destroy everyone and win the tournament. Whatever you say to everyone it won''t change. "I''m going to have to affirm.It''s definitely my Venu who wins the tournament" Craft "Yeah, that''s right, Craft! I''m the one who will win!" Venu That snobby man retreats out of frighten of the powerful words from Venu. "Argh, I''ll teach you soon. the limitations of your abilities!" Snobby man Far from winning Venu, this guy will not even be a opponent. I was convinced that while watching the back of the snobby man going to the match place ahead, leaving dirty words behind. "Ugaa! I dont smell! Ah he is totally a fool!" Meri "Naturally you smell like a flower......I also like the smell of Meri''s sweat" Craft "Uehaaa! Ah, don''t smell my sweaty body......so" Meri When I sniff with my nose, Meri became flustered and bent backwards. Even though it is such a nice scent...... that snobby man, I bet he never smelled the smell of a woman. "Huh, He might be a powerful person, but he will cry soon by my hand" Venu "Ah, it seems that your attitude is arrogant as you are confident in your tight arm" Craft So thinking, Venu should be careful about the woman in the corner who hasn''t smiled a while ago. Don''t look down or lick your opponent before the game......such a thorough guy is awkward. "Craft, thank you for taking the time to protect me, I will show you something good in return. I was taught by grandpa Arcelus......the best shooting technique" Venu Venu steps out of the waiting room and walks towards the corridor, following the snobby man. There is nothing to compare between her back and that snobby man¡äs back......as a strong will was felt. "Now......although the results are clear, I will definitely go to worship Venu''s brave appearance" Craft "That''s right, Craft. Venu, will probably show off......" Kaitos "ShaShaShaa! It will be interesting to see that guy¡äs losing face" Orochi "Well if it is Venu-narachan! Believe and watch attentively" Meri We go to the passage that goes to the spectator''s seat side, opposite to the direction Venu has advanced. It seems to be annoying with people being crowded, but this is also for cheering. "Don''t lose Venu. Against that snobby man......more than anything" Craft When Venu showed up, accusations and scoldings fly from the hall. However, even though such a hardship is made, Venu will overcome it. I believe so. Hey Venu©¤©¤ The first time I experienced a celebratory venue......where the venue of an opera Zenan took me to when I was a child. The spectators quieted down like holding their breathing before cheering greatly as the opera ended. Some got up and some gave am applause by clapping their hands. Perhaps it was the greatest tribute to art that made the minds of all the audience be unified. But what I see now is......it was the complete opposite to such a beautiful cheer. "Return! Quickly get out of sight Baretoria¡äs disgrace!" Spectator 1 "Don''t participate in the shooting tournament at the perimeter of the ash-haired princess! Don''t you know your place!" Spectator 2 "It¡¯s fine so just lose! Lose quickly! Lose miserably!" Spectator 3 To the contrary, abusive phrases which cant be thought as directed to the former princess of one''s country. Some spit and others had thrown garbage a number of times toward the match field. From the spectator seat of 360 degrees omni-directional wrapping around the match place, a malicious mass against a single girl standing in the center will fall down without mercy. Her blond hair is mixed with gray hair slightly. Only for that reason she is......Venu is swallowed by a vicious vortex. "Craft......I, I will lose myself in anger" Kaitos "Calm down Kaitos. I feel the same, but I managed to clench my teeth somehow" Craft Kaitos furiously clenches her fangs. If I don''t stop her, it is easy to imagine that she will fight against this Coliseum with a battle. I also want to do so. But the only thing stopping me at the brink is......the reason that Venu who is the person in question is going to fight the match with gentle eyes. "Uuuu, shaa! Humans are absolutely crazy, I wish they could perish" Orochi "The majority may not even think so. But look at it, Orochi. Some humans are the best of them" Craft Beyond my line of sight, there is Venu¡äs figure looking into the scope of the sniper gun that she picked up. The long-distance shooting that was chosen for this match is a balloon that floats in the sky far. It is seen only in the bean grain from the ground though it keeps a certain height by the bound thread. Moreover, even if the height is constant, the aim has been hard to put because it is always fanned by the wind. There are three red and three light blue. After the game starts, the winner will be the one who destroys all of his balloons first. "Venu has the light blue balloons, red belongs to that guy......" Craft "Hey Hey Craft-sensei. This match is obviously not a disadvantage to Venu, right?" Meri As Meri says. Unlike conspicuous red color, light blue is assimilated with sky color, so it is inconspicuous. Red is an advantageous if you think about it. "But for Venu, it doesn''t matter what color it is" Craft "Shaa? What do you mean?" Orochi "Well, just watch it. If you look aside, you''ll miss the moment of the conclusion." Craft "Kyshashashaa! What is it! It won''t be settled so soon!" Orochi "No. I''m sure it will" Craft If my expectation is right, the match will be a moment. While booing down like a flood......the referee who stands at the side of the two contestants who aim at the sky with their sniper rifles now swept the flags in his hands©¤©¤right after. Pang, Pang, Pang! "......Look" Spectator Suddenly, the booing sounding in the colosseum stops. Venu¡äs opponent, the referee......even the audience lose their words to such astonishment. "This is the end of the match with this......what would that guy say now" Craft When Venu takes her eyes off the scope and put the sniper rifle in the dress, she returns to the entrance leading to the waiting room. As much as to say, there is no need to even confirm the victory or defeat. Of course. Because all the light blue balloons in the sky were destroyed in the blink of an eye. "Sho, winner contestant Venusera!" Referee A few seconds later, the referee who understood may have caught up. The booing which had stopped changed to a roaring and everyone was puzzled by looking at each other¡äs face. "Yashashaa! gr-ea-t, wo-rk!" Orochi "Those elevated balloons that are difficult to capture with the eyes......good job Venu!" Kaitos "Uuhyaa! Incredible Incredible Incredible! Cool Venu!" Meri "I can''t do that. I''m good at controlling multiple magic guns......when it becomes the distance to there, the aim is not made first of all. It''s a continuous fire at that speed" Craft Even if it is a gun with a high magnification, you will need to calculate the resistance of the wind in live ammunition. Three consecutive shots in that moment. No, it was misdirected. "Now, let''s honor the success of our princess!" Kaitos "Umm. I must praise her by myself" Craft Going down the stairs at the side of the venue, we start walking towards the waiting room for the contestants again. "Shaa, very soon coming into my possession......in that case......" Orochi On the way, Orochi who was walking next to me leaks such words. "What are you doing, Orochi! Do not be absent minded and come along properly!" Craft "Ueei......shaashaashaa!!" Orochi It seems that she is still planning something. Even though I cant keep my eyes on Orochi all the time, everything will become useless if we make a noise and makes the tournament to be stopped. The only thing I can do is to watch her while not showing my doubts......there is no need to act now. "Oooohoohoohoohoo! That amount, it is a piece of a cake!" Venu More than half of the contestants now leave and left the waiting room. Although some cold eyes are sent from the remaining contestants, Venu is laughing energetically. Yeah, it seems to be nice to finish the match quickly. "But Venu, well with those disadvantageous light blue balloons, you''ve shot so fast" Kaitos "It is Venusera! Well, there is nothing wrong with disadvantage! Rather, I think that the red balloons were hard to hit" Venu "The red balloons......why is that?" Kaitos Kaitos looks doubtful at Venu who sits on the chair and adjusts her guns again. As for Orochi, she was grasping the sweets in the waiting room and eat them like bored. "In fact, I did not want to have the red balloon anyway, because if I wanted to finish it quickly I hoped not to get the red ones......so I was happy I got the light blue balloons" Venu "MushaMushaa......hapuu. Why didn''t you want to break the red balloons?" Orochi "Red balloons......red......you possibly?" Craft When I noticed a certain possibility, when I raised my voice, the face of Venu instantly became red like the red balloon. Ah, it is about her sister after all......uh. "Hohoo, the red balloons resembled Craft. Huhuu, cute" Kaitos "Yo, You¡äre noisy! That is different!" Venu Venu hit the desk and jumped out of the waiting room with her guns. "I will pick up some flowers until the next match!" Venu It seems that she was in a hurry to bother to leave such a line. "ShaaShaaShaa. Cute Shaahh" Orochi "It''s before the match, don''t bother with it" Craft There are four matches in the second round in the ensuing but the second match is being done now. As winning, the intervals between matches get shorter and shorter, so it''s tough. "Kaitos. The match is about to start soon, let''s go take another seat together again" Craft "... It''s okay, but it''s time to stop thinking again" Kaitos "I understand, understand. Therefore let me hold you in my arms" Craft I caught Kaitos who was flying in the air and Orochi who also tried to leave the waiting room. I''m sure Kaitos is on the lookout, and I don''t think I''m worried....... "Naahaahaahaa! We go all together" Meri "Ah, but it makes me think that I''m in heaven just because you are here" Craft It would have been very uncomfortable to be left alone here. To that proof...... "I''m the next one......I will not lose to that ash-haired thing" Contestant "I''m not going to lose against the ash-haired princess either" Contestant Contestants refuse to glare this way without hiding enmity. The contestants remaining here are four of eight people who have survived the first round. One of the four who aren''t here is Venu and two others are currently fighting in the second round. And the last one has already lost the first second round match. Yes, the first match in the second round ended in a moment just like Venu. "Hey Nois, if you are a lady, you can definitely defeat the ash-haired princess" Contestant "This lady will definitely get the victory. Also do your best for your father" Contestant "It¡¯s not like.......it¡¯s not related to, the princess, I only, want to compete" Nois The other female contestant is called Nois by the contestants. She has the skill to finish a match in a couple of seconds which was seen in the first round and the second round. She is probably a contestant who will win the final against Venu. She isn''t petite like Venu but has small bulges on her chest. She is also blonde, dressed in a red costume that is unlikely for an Baretorian and has twin tails as hairstyle. The place where the change of the expression is scarce might be near the atmosphere to Zenan. "Nois......?" Craft "Hmm? Are you interested in that contestant?" Kaitos "...Well, I guess that she is the most annoying opponent" Craft I was concerned about this girl before Venu''s first round was held. That''s because Nois alone did not respond to the provocation to Venu that let Kaitos became enraged before the match. Just wait for the time of the match with the arms folded and win and return when you come in. It can be said that it is such a stoic that it is impressed by its enemies to be defeated. "......Jiiiiiiiii" ??? "Hmm......? Wh, What is it? Is something attached to my face?" Craft I noticed that I was observed and Nois turned a hot line of sight toward here as much as returning. I was unconsciously frustrated by that much attention....... "Red hair......red eyes. I want it" Nois When she mutters so as to squeeze out, Nois distorts her mouth greatly. Oh, what? What did she say she wanted now? "You, alright......?" Craft As soon as I tried to speak to Nois again, the door of the waiting room is opened. What happened and I looked back©¤©¤ "Aaaaaaaaaahh! Nii-san, I wanted to meet yoouuu!!" Efrika "Guii! Efrikaaa!!" Craft It is Efrika that has dived into me by spreading her hands, wearing the same as me, exactly the same as when we parted in the prison yesterday. I try to embrace her soonly, but......guuu, chest! Boin, the elasticity of her big chest, I got pushed down to the floor. It is not as big as Igina, but this chest is also the best! "Idedede......dde, you! Did you escape from the prison?" Craft "Nbuhiii, Nii-san''s fragrance, Nii-san''s warmth......suu, haa, suu, haahh!" Efrika Haven''t heard. Well, it means that Musashi is also here...... "E, Efrika-dono! It is my turn! You¡äre sly!" Musashi As expected, it was Musashi who came into the waiting room next. She is still wearing Venu¡äs dress, but the size is still not fitting. "Good Good! Sensei, me too me too!!" Meri "You guys calm down. it is annoying to the other contestants, so let''s go out to the hallway!" Craft As I avoid the gaze of the contestants who are stymied by sudden events, I got up quickly and thrust Efrika, Musashi and Meri towards the corridor. "......Red increased. I want it" Nois I heard uneasy words from Nois again, but it is through. After closing the door so that people in the middle could not hear the story, I cut out the story once more as well as reshuffling. "After all, have you escaped?" Craft "No, we have been released so suddenly!" Musashi "I came so quickly to meet Nii-san in a hurry! Well, hug me quickly!" Efrika I see. It is because it is no longer necessary to detain Efrika and Musashi by interacting with me this morning. Prinella......she is better than I thought. "I am glad you returned safely, I brought clothes for you, so I hope you change clothes later" Craft "Igiiii! Nii-san......it hurts, it hurts but it feels good!" Efrika "Good. I also want a reward" Musashi I intentionally embracing Efrika with considerable power, but Musashi is envious. Is it a reward or a punishment. "Haaahaaa......ga-i-ga-n" Efrika "You had better see a doctor once Efrika?" Craft "Regrettably because I¡äm the best healer of this continent" Efrika I liberate from Efrika''s body which I was holding and hold her head. It is a fellow who does not have a mood or a haze so much as we meet again. "By the way the direction of the tournament is going well? Is it possible for Venu to win?" Efrika "Hmm? Yes, she is going to win the tournament without any problems" Craft Did you feel relieved to hear these words Efrika, as she is caressing my chest cautiously. "It''s good, I don''t doubt Venusera, but I am a little worried..." Efrika "Well, it is rude. If it''s about skill, you don''t need to worry about that" Craft "Oh, you were in such a place? You have a bad taste for eavesdropping" Efrika Efrika¡äs words were turned to Venu who seems to have returned from the toilet. It looked like she was shining with a bright red face from the corner of the corridor. "I''m not eavesdropping! And if you escape, please come and see us sooner!" Venu "......Nii-san. You haven''t done anything while I wasn''t there last night? Venu is too honest and scary" Efrika "It''s Venusera!! Mukiiiii! This 301 points!" Venu "Haaaaaaa? Say it again at this time! Come on!" Efrika Even though we were just reunited, they could fight without getting tired. "Craft-dono, are you okay?" Musashi "Nihihi, don''t fight!" Craft "Leave it alone. Maybe this is the way they are" Kaitos By releasing Efrika and Musashi, the pressure on Venu decreased. She probably will demonstrate us more of her strength than the match just before. "Huhh! I will soon have my second round match, I hope everyone is watching my big success in the audience seats! I will show you my strength!" Venu Pleasantly, Venu is running away to the match area without wielding around here. Efrika still made a somewhat insignificant face, but she was disappointed and sighs, whether she was poisoned inside watching behind Venu, she shrugged her shoulders. "Haa......well good. It seems that there is no other choice but to leave it to Venusera and we will go to cheer, but where are Kaitos and Orochi?" Efrika "They left me and went to get a seat. Orochi that fellow, grew up and clearly she hated myself and is hooked on Kaitos" Craft "Growth? How did Orochi grew up?" Efrika I see, these two people have not met the big Orochi yet. "You will be amazed if you see her, Efrika, because the size of her poncho is perfect" Craft "The size is perfect, she has become quite large......huhuu" Efrika Efrika shows a smile that looks glorious after seeing something interesting. "Can you find them anyway, Kaitos and the others were worried about you too?" Craft Regarding the growth of Orochi, let''s think about it after everything resolved. The priority to be given now is to see Venu''s tournament victory and to save Bunna. It is exhausted to it. "Mumumumu, I haven''t been pampered yet!" Musashi "I understood. I will spoil you later" Craft After putting my hand on Musashi¡äs head, I will proceed to the direction leading to the audience seat. "First of all, lets go cheering, let''s do our best with all we can!" Craft For Venu, I could say enough for that with confidence. On the contrary, I feel uneasy if it is a tendon rhythm, but......no problem. Let''s just enjoy Venu''s success now. From the conclusion, it can be said that the one anxiety I felt was frustration. The theme of the second round match is to hit a lot of cat rabbits that run around inside the match area with bullets stuffed with paint. A total of more than ten cat rabbits were quick to escape, and everyone seemed to anticipate the struggles of contestants, but Venu victory was with a double score than her opponent and she proceeded to the semi-finals. The theme of the semi-final is long-distance shooting while being blindfolded. The content itself is the same as the balloon shooting done by Venu in the first round but the difficulty degree is expanded many times by adding blindfolds. But as with the first battle, it was too simple. Venu was laughing cheerfully, as it was rather unfair due to the difference in color of the balloons. Thus Venu kept betraying the expectations of the audience and wonderfully went to the finals. ¡°Oooohoohoohoohoo! Have some hot black tea, Efrika!¡± Venu ¡°Gumemee......! Don''t get in tune!¡± Efrika Finally, in the final, the only ones left in this waiting room is Venu and us and her opponent, Nois. As usual she with her arms folded in the corner of the room......I feel like she is staring at Efrika and especially me. Did I do anything to offend her? "Huu, this dress is still the most comfortable. It''s regrettable that I have no sword" Musashi Yes Yes, Efrika and Musashi too......their original dresses are more fitting. In particular, Efrika is more attractive now as she has her hair length restored by magic. "I was also lonely without Danthes......hey Venu, here is a cup of tea" Craft I use the boiling water from the stove in the waiting room and pour some tea in a cup. When Venu receives it happily, she carries it elegantly and carries it to her mouth. "Hmm, it''s delicious. You¡äre good at making tea, Craft" Venu "Well, most things in the housework are done by Zenan" Craft I pour tea into some cups and hand them out in order to everyone. Of course, Efrika who was trying to make things she wanted was well prepared to Orochi. "Naahaahaahaa! Thank you Sensei! Achichii!" Meri "Hey, Orochi. You can have it too" Craft "Kyashaa! Orochi doesn''t need such a thing" Orochi While each one receives tea, only Orochi refuses. Because of my vigilance, she has never been able to absorb magic since then. That''s why she was annoyed, Orochi strained sweets and was leaking a sigh every time. "But Orochi-dono. Even though you¡äre still like a child, you¡äre getting bigger and bigger" Musashi "Shaa, I''m not a child. You see, I have big tits" Orochi Orochi who shakes her breasts which pushes up the poncho and claims her size. Ugh, after all they look great. If the age rises a little more, I am afraid that she will become no enemy. My preference is a look like Kaitos has, so she will probably similar...... "Well, we have one tea cup left" Craft It''s a shame to throw it away......I will pass this cup to her. "Hey, Nois! I have some tea left, do you want it?" Craft "Tea......?" Nois Nois who tilts her head stares at the tea on the table in front of her. She doesn''t seem to know why tea was offered to herself. "Cr, Craft! Why don''t you send salt to the enemy!" Kaitos "That''s not good. She looks like a decent guy unlike the rest" Craft Although she is an opponent who will fight Venu in the final match soon, she is someone who hasn''t discriminated against Venu. Even if it is only one cup of tea, there is no punishment. "......This is for me?" Nois "Ah, right......do you hate black tea?" Craft "No, because it''s red, I love black tea" Nois Saying so, Nois carries the cup to her mouth for a long time. Does she like red? Ah, that''s why she has been staring at me and Efrika a while ago. "Craft is kind. Nois, how is the taste?" Venu "Delicious. The house''s butler tea isn''t as good than this tea" Nois "Oohohohoho! Of course! It was made by my Craft!" Venu "...My? This person, the princess''s......thing?" Nois Nois puts the cup away and points to me and then asks Venu. "Yes. Craft can''t live without me, we''re in love!" Venu "Wait Venuseral! Nii-san belongs to everyone!" Efrika "Yes, yes! You''re not alone!" Musashi "Again, he isn''t only yours. Beee!" Kaitos Sure enough, everyone answered in a selfish manner......and Meri hit my back from behind. "Hey, Craft-sensei! I thought of something! Because it is either Venu or Nois who will win the tournament, you can ask for the sacred stone now?" Meri "...Oh, there was that way!" Craft I don''t want Venu to lose, but it is worth asking for insurance. That way we don''t have to worry about wasting it. "Wait, Craft. Even if we get the sacred stone, it is meaningless if I don''t withdraw the base of Baretoria. In the end, I have to win the tournament" Venu "Yes, we can''t just get the sacred stone. It''s a must for Venu''s victory" Kaitos That''s what Kaitos say. I thought it was a good idea, but I guess it''s no good. "It''s fine. I only see the tournament in my eyes" Venu "Venu! I entrusted the future of Bunna to you!" Meri "It''s Venuseral! Yes, I''m sure to fulfill the mission! Oohohohoho!" Venu Even before the finals, Venu laughs cheerfully. She really want to be overwhelmed by tension and pressure......is she trying to keep us worried. "Sacred Stone? Base? What¡¯s that?" Nois Nois, who has been out of the talk for a long time, asks me while pulling my arm. Oops. It''s strange that we suddenly got excited with us alone. "The sacred stone is the necklace of the tournament prizes. And the base is a military base under construction near the border of Baretoria and Bunna" Craft "Necklace......? Do you want that?" Nois "Well, there is a deep situation......" Craft "......Sorry, red person. I want that necklace" Nois As if biting something, Nois puts her hand on her jaw. what? Is she thinking? "I don''t need the necklace. If I win, I''ll give it to you" Nois "Haa? NoNoNo, you forgot the previous story!" Craft "But I really don''t need it" Nois We keep pace with Nois, who shakes her head. That¡­¡­? Well, at this point in time, the sacred stone is as good as it gets. "I feel happy, but there''s no point in getting only the sacred stone" Craft "Why?" Nois "Ah...... that''s" Craft I think it cant be helped to talk about our circumstances to Nois, but it''s a topic I''ve extracted from here. Even if I leave it out and Nois breaks down, the aftertaste is bad......I will explain firmly. I will briefly talk about the battle that is taking place in Bunna and Baretoria. Nois seemed to be surprised at the outrageous story, but listened quietly without pinching her mouth until the end. And as soon as I finished the explanation......she suddenly uttered these words. "There is no problem. I can do it somehow" Nois "Eh? Well......what about the base of Barretria?" Craft "Yes. I order. And then, the base......withdraw" Nois Yes? Even Venu, who is a princess of her own country, is trying to solve it by using the privilege of victory. How can Nois easily solve it like that? "Ma, maybe! Will you use the winning privilege for us?" Craft "No. The privilege is used to dye the whole of Baretoria......red......muhuuu" Nois Nois who talks about her ambition, seems awful when you listen to it. If she doesn''t use the privileges, will Nois do it personally...... "Nois-san! Are you going to ask your father directly?" Venu "Yes, I will do that......" Nois "What is it Venu? Nois''s father is a big name?" Craft It''s just a noble......but it looks like this is not a humble person. "Her full name is Nois Will Granbanil. Currently, the only daughter of Marshal Granbanil, the chief of the Baretorian Army......that''s her" Venu "The Marshal''s daughter? Ah, no wonder you''re going to win the tournament......" Craft Starting with Efrika, everyone in this place is convinced. If she is the Marshal''s daughter, the treatment of firearms would be the best. This is truly a formidable opponent. "But Nois. Despite the wishes of a daughter, I think it will not go so easily" Craft "Papa, usually is scared. He hate Bunna, he is just always saying bad things" Nois "Ugh, Bunna is a good country! Food is also delicious!" Meri "By the way, I might not like Bunna, either. The countryside is green......not red" Nois "Ueeeee? That!!" Meri Nois stabbed a knife into Meri¡äs words and she knocked Meri out. "But, if I say help by all means. Papa will accept this request" Nois "It''s kind of bad. It''s a form that I got caught up in the middle of the talk......" Craft It is scary that the opponent who competes in the final with Venu is the daughter of Baretorian¡äs army Marshal and there is no interest in the necklace with the sacred stone......and things go well enough. "I don''t mind. But, one thing, please" Nois "Request, what? Rather, here is what you are asking......" Craft "If I win, I will hand over the necklace. I will persuade my dad, but I want something in exchange" Nois Something in exchange? Well, it is because I feel awkward not to pay the price to get to cooperate in order to save one country. If she wants something, she can concede it to a certain extent. "I don''t mind, Nois-san. As I said earlier, I cant afford to lose" Venu "Yes, buii" Nois Hearing the approval of Venu, Nois jumps happily and smiles. What? What does she want so much......? "Then, if I win......" Nois "Yes, whatever you want to have" Venz "I will take, this red man" Nois """""Haaaaaaa?""""" Everyone The shouts of my five wives overlap and echo beautifully. That''s also so because, Nois suddenly hugged me at my waist. "O, hey hey? what kind of joke is that......?" Craft I was suddenly hugged and I had no choice but to be puzzled. "Muhuu, red......very red......nhunhu" Nois Nois doesn''t care about my figure and rubs her face on my chest. "I like red, I want red, to be my pet" Nois "No, Nois-san! You are still a fine woman of the Grandbanil family, right? I''m going to mourn your father, Marshal Grandbanil! Shameless!" Venu "Alright. Papa is sweet to me" Nois Nois laughs with a grin on her face while burying it in my chest, whether it is conviction behavior. "Hu, Huhuhuhuhuu......Nii-san, step aside. Because I curse that girl from now on" Efrika "No, Efrika-dono. I will burn her up here" Musashi "Naahaahaahaa! What about smashing her into pieces and feed her to the fishes?" Meri "I cant forgive her! I will devour her wholly......!" Kaitos Emitting an dark black aura, Efrika and the others approach here with an raged expression. I''m sorry. I''m not going to be a victim! "Everyone, don''t lose your composure. Ladies, you should always try to act graceful and dignified.Yes, lets deal with it calmly" Craft "Shaa? Hey hey, what is going on?" Orochi The thing that Venu has in her hand while shaking is a grenade if there isn''t anything wrong with my eyes. Yeah, I wonder if you can slowly release your fingers from the pin, Venu. "*Giggling* Then......I''m looking forward to the final" Nois I wonder if Nois has also felt the crisis or my pace and when she leaves from my side, she moves in nimble steps. Then she opened the door to the hallway and ran away in no time. "Wh, Wh, What is this! What is that girl! Mukiiii!" Venu "Venusera, never lose! Beat her black and blue!!" Efrika "Kyo-everyone- iyoa. Sha" Orochi "Ev, Everyone calm down. You don''t need to take it personally" Craft Just because she liked red things, there is no love and so on. It''s about making you look like this...... "What, Craft. What if someone of us were to do the same to a man?" Venu "Ha? I''m going to kill that man after letting him experiencing all sorts of pain of this world" Craft "See! We felt the same way!" Venu What is it? Well, that''s right. How careless am I......! "Sorry. I will keep my guard a little more from now on" Craft "Naturally. I don''t know where the pests that aim for Nii-san are hidden" Efrika "It is good that the lateral chamber is increased, but it is useless if it is not a person who I admit" Musashi The words are still too distant for me who is a virgin. "Anyway, I can''t lose by any means! Nois-san is a strong enemy, but I cant lose if I''m in perfect condition!" Venu And, the announcement flows at the moment Venu gets enthusiasm. It seems that the final match will start soon. "Ah, I''m going. To settle everything......I will win the tournament" Venu We leave the waiting room and went into the corridor. Here we can only support Venu from the audience seats. It is a very toothy thing, but it may be necessary to trust and watch over Venu. "Then Venu. Good luck with no regrets" Craft "Yes. If I win the tournament, please praise me afterwards" Venu With a smile, Venu runs through the corridor leading to the match field. This is the last match, whether we cry or laugh. "Win...... Venu" Craft We rushed to the audience seats so that we don''t miss the brave figure of Venu. At the top of the stairs where light from the outside enters, there was an unrivaled amount of hot air swirling and it had an unusual appearance of admiration mixed with wilderness. "Defeat the ash-haired princess!" Spectator 1 "The Little Red Riding Hood of the Marshal vs the ash-haired princess, this is a really interesting match" Spectator 2 "Granbanil''s daughter is a pretty talented person, but she is going to be bashed by the ash-haired princess......I''m expecting it" Spectator 3 "What are you saying! Are you going to cheer for the ash-haired princess?" Spectator 4 It seems that people who started to recognize Venu are arguing against those who refuse to recognize her. It''s a good trend. In this way, it is enough that just a little more friends will be added. "Nii-san, Venu came in from the entrance." Prompted by Efrika¡äs voice standing besides me, I dropped my eyes to the match field. There, Venu and Nois......and why was there Prinella. "Ah, the first princess, Prinella-sama! What a beautiful blonde hair......!" Spectator 5 "It''s different from her sister''s ashed hair" Spectator 6 Prinella''s blonde seems to be so attractive that the crowds who have been so noisy until now stop arguing and see. From my point of view, Venu''s hair looks more attractive...... "Uuu, it''s also painful that we can only pray" Efrika "But I think that prayer will surely be the most powerful thing for Venu" Craft When I look down, Venu smiles toward us with a smile. This way it shows she care about us even if we are so far away. If we have a sunken face, then this fellow''s morale will fall. I just have to avoid it. "Cough. Everyone, I am the first princess, Prinella Printo Baretoria" Prinella After moving to the center of the match field, Prinellula opens her mouth with a microphone. "Thank you for watching Baretorian¡äs glorious shooting tournament till the finals today. You''ll be happy with the heated battle. Ah, especially, the fight between these two contestants" Prinella Apparently she will be the referee of this final......or will be working in the commentary. "Well then, let me introduce you to the contestants who made it to the final. On this side we have the daughter of Marshal Grandbanil, and this is the first time she has participated in this tournament, Nois Will Granbanil!" Prinella "Hello" Nois Nois sends a peace sign to the audience according to the introduction. No, no matter how negative I think her eyes are looking at me......? "Next, Nhuhuu. We have my younger sister who fought me in last year¡äs final......Venusera, Lloyd Dibair! Ah well well. Her name has changed since she got married recently" Prinella "Th, thank you!" Venu In contrast to Nois, Venu shows the audience a traced bow. The audience''s reaction to that attitude was beautifully divided into two. "Good luck! Try your best in the finals too!" Spectator 1 "You will lose unsightly! Baretoria''s shame!" Spectator 2 "Where is the idiot prince of Dibair?" Spectator 3 "But he helped to build a friendly relationship with Dibair......it¡¯s complicated" Spectator 4 For some reason I feel like they''re spreading to me, but I don''t care about it. "Well, you don''t show a dirty face? It''s better compared to the dead fish-like face from last year''s tournament, but if you get too tense you will lose your cute face" Prinella "It, it''s noisy! Please explain the rules soon!" Venu "What do you care about? Well......good" Prinella With the microphone, Prinella finally talks about the final match in a sulky manner. "The content of the final is the same as last year, but this time with a special rule......a flying magic stone that is flying around the match field endlessly. It''s difficult" Prinella And, as soon as Prinella finished talking, five sparkling objects came into the stadium. Red, purple, yellow, white, black. They are flying around the match field as Prinella said......but I can barely follow their speed with my eyes even if I''m watching from above. "You can take a distance and get a sniper or get close and shoot with a shotgun. There is no limit on guns, so if you use your favorite gun and you break three targets first, you''ll win" Prinella "......It''s pretty fast. With a sniper it seems to be difficult" Venu "Red, I want......but I have to shoot, I lose" Nois Venu is sweating on her forehead because of the tough match content. On the other hand, Nois wears a red hood with an calm expression. Ah, that''s why she has the nickname red riding hood...... "Of course, but be careful not to shoot the opponent because it''s a foul, so start as soon as your heart is ready, alright?" Prinella Venu and Nois are powerfully asked by Prinella''s question. Seeming satisfied with that, Prinella takes a breath when she raises her hand. "Suuu......let''s get started! Go into position, go......!" Prinella As soon as the bark has begun, both pull out a gun from their dresses and hold it. Nois took out a scoped sniper. Venu decided to use a large caliber handgun. The two of them are aiming at another target so that they each have their backs. "Bang!!" At the moment the hand of Prinella is shook down, they both pull the trigger. Are both bullets real? The question is whether or not they will hot...... "Haai, Venusera destroyed the purple target. Nois destroyed the black target" Prinella Gun voice and plosive sound are almost simultaneous. Even though I was following Venu, I was working hard to grasp the color of both destroyed targets......I am not the winner of last year''s tournament. "Hm, Nois destroyed the white target. The yellow target is destroyed by Venuseral" Prinella While I¡äm thinking about it, the match has progressed to one remaining target. It''s not early. I can only hear a few gunshots...... "I won''t let you take the remaining one!" Venu "That''s my line. Red, absolutely, won''t hand over" Nois Venu had already switched to another gun before long. Apparently this time she uses a shotgun to aim at the red target...but there, Nois also takes out another gun and prepares it. "Uu!" Venu For a moment Venu seemed to pull the trigger earlier, but a bullet shot by Nois bursts at the foot of Venu just before. She wasn''t hit, but it seems that some broken ground fragments hit Venu¡äs feet. That''s why I thought that she had lost her balance. "Regret, no thought" Nois And Nois shoots a bullet at the red target so as not to miss that great opportunity. Light blue bullet......is it a magic gun? Danger, if this remaining one is hit by Nois...... "I won''t let you!" Venu Venu who bears the pain shoot with the shotgun. Although the timing didn''t match, the red target wasn''t hit, but instead, the shot collides with the magic bullet of Nois and pops up. But Nois smiled with joy, though her bullet was shot down. "Yes, this is my victory" Nois "Th, This is?" Venu The magic bullet, which should have been played in the air, becomes a grain of faucet and a large amount of water pours around Venu. That bullet, was it filled with water magic! "At this level! This me......kyaa!" Venu Venu tries to leave the place, but she fall on the muddy ground with a lot of water. Hey, this is dangerous! "Venu!" Craft When I instinctively scream, explosive cheers come from the audience. Due to the overwhelming disadvantage of Venu, the enthusiasm of the audience seems to be at the climax. "But, now, lost sight, of Red......" Nois Nois looks around restlessly in the surrounding. Venu will lose if Nois can find the target as it is. "Ah, there" Nois Damn, fast. It seems that the buzzing and fleeing target have been captured. Nois grabbed her gun in the same way as before and pulled the trigger without saying. "Wait! I''m not finished yet!" Venu Just before the light blue bullet bursts to the target, a red-brown bullet flying from the side blocks the hit. This bullet is......Virgil¡äs magic bullet! "You are not the only one who can use a magic gun!" Venu Venu is holding a gun as she drags her muddy body up when she fell. Her beautiful head was splashed with mud and the greyish blonde hair lost more and more of its brilliance......which draws the attention of the audience. "Gyahahaha, see! Ash-haired princess is covered in mud!" Spectator 1 "Puu, look good! Good for the miserable ash-haired princess!" Spectator 2 Mindless words are shouted at Venu like rain. However, Venu doesn''t mind such a thing and moves her muddy body by jumping. "This time, I will remove it" Nois "I won''t let you!" Venu Nois shoots a bullet again, but it is also shot down by Venu''s bullet. Over and over again, every time Nois shoots a bullet, Venu blocks the distance from the target perfectly. Nois expression is so red that the heart of every viewer won''t miss it. "That''s depressing. Well, with this, I put an end to it!" Nois Nois, having set up the gun in both hands, fired two bullets at once. This would make it impossible for Venu to shoot the bullets down......everyone in the audience thought so. "Sorry, it''s already within Venu¡äs range" Craft Virgil¡äs gun barrel which Venu''s has, glows and a purple lightning bullet is released. Magic guns cant be used to emphasize control. However, as the distance to the target gets closer, the precise control becomes unnecessary. So you can get the best out of it. "That''s it!" Venu A gigantic thunderbolt is released from Virgil held with both hands. It quickly swallowed Nois''s light blue magic bullets and it bursted into the red target. "Haa, haa......!" Venu Quietness envelops the vast colosseum. Everybody was ready to make a decision in this short period of time......but they couldn''t hide the confusion in reality that they never wanted to admit. And Prinella was the first to open her mouth so as to break such silence. "Ahaa, Venusera destroys the red target. Winner is Venuseral!" Prinella Starting from that declaration, the venue will begin to cheer as if it exploded in an instant. One applauded and shed tears to bless Venu. Some also clap for Nois and continue to overthrow the winner Venu. A scene where the angry number and the voice of joy are mixed. Under the circumstances, Venu, who decided on the victory, just stood still in the middle of the match field. "I''m sorry Nois. It''s regrettable" Venu "Muu, annoying. But next year, I will win" Noa "Oh yeah. You got the seed right, I hope you will try your best to win like Venusera. And with that, Venusera......congratulation! After all, you are my sister" Prinella Prinella talks to Venu with a microphone in one hand. The desire is fulfilled, and she might be happy, too. "Have you decided what to do with your winning prize? Speaking to mothers, what you like......" Prinella "Bunna......I have to save Bunna.....so please withdraw the military base near the border and give me the necklace with the sacred stone......" Venu Not caring for her muddy body, Venu wishes for the peace with Bunna. I wondered what the story was like, or did I breathe in Venu''s desperate mind......the audience seemed to watch over the situation again quietly. "Venusera......still saying something like that? You won, you are the one who won, use your privileges for yourself! If not, then again" Prinella "I know! Still, my dear friends are in trouble! Bunna might be destroyed because of Baretoria......I''m not supposed to be able to overlook that!" Venu At this point, the audience probably understood the general circumstances. Venu is trying to withdraw the military base to avoid fighting with Bunna. Even if they didn''t know the details, once they understood it, they would have decided what action to take. "Foolish! I think you did not thinking about the benefits of the shooting competition!" Spectator 1 "A reward for Bunna people? Withdrawal of a base? Don''t be foolish!" Spectator 2 "Maybe she has concluded with Bunna......she abandoned Baretoria" Spectator 3 "Possible. Doesn''t she has any pride as a Baretorian at all?" Spectator 4 Spectators make up a story that doesn''t exist and gradually heat up. Even those who have supported Venu up to this point have now dropped Venu. "Just a little! We are going to hold the award ceremony......ah!" Prinella "......Kyaaa!" Venu A drink bottle was thrown from the audience seat and hit Venu''s head directly. It still contained something......black liquid was dripping down from Venu¡äs whole body. "Foolish! This traitor! The dirty blonde will never show up again!" Spectator 1 "This fellow is in the first place a half! It''s wrong to have her participate in this tournament!" Spectator 2 "Eh? That dirty blonde was a half? Uwaa......" Spectator 3 "A princess who is only a half has participated in this historic tournament and won......" Spectator 4 Spectators start throwing things on the match field one after another. "Hey, stop it! Why is this......!" Prinella Prinella next to Venu doesn''t seem to be the target, but she is shaking her hands hard to stop the audience in order to protect Venu. However, the spectators who heat up just don''t listen. "Cancel the winner! It is invalid! Remove the ash-haired princess!" Spectator 1 "The ash-haired princess ruined the honor of Baretoria! Get out of the historic colosseum!" Spectator 2 The spectators who had been with me on Venu¡äs side until now have now been attacking Venu as an enemy. Just half. Hair color has changed a little bit! Just because of that......such a sad thing is happening here. "Eei! I want to say a word to these people!" Efrika "Shaa......humans, after all, ushaa" Orochi "I''m not going to forgive anyone who makes a fool of Venu now!" Kaitos "Yes, I agree. Let''s go, everyone!" Craft I jump from the audience seats to the match field as I push over the spectators sitting in front of me. Of course, the destination is next to Venu. As fast as a second, I was beside her©¤©¤ "Venu! Are you okay?" Craft I rushed with all my strength and I stand in front of Venu as she gets out of the rain of rubbish.......Ah, she''s getting dirty like this. Her beautiful hair is a total mess. "Cr, Craft? Why are you here......? You''re going to get dirty!" Venu "It''s okay. You can wipe your face with this" Craft That being said, when I hand over the handkerchief, the audiences begin to make noises against me this time. "Who is this guy? Is it the rumored prince!" Spectator 1 "He seduced the ash-haired princess, right? What a sneaky man!" Spectator 2 "What a despicable man this beast is! He is still a prince of a country!" Spectator 3 Oh, I''m going to tell you. I don''t care what you say to me. "Mou, Nii-san! Don''t go alone!" Efrika "Shaaa! Quickly Quickly!" Orochi "When you go, we will be with you!" Musashi "Craft. I''m about to get really angry......" Kaitos Then Efrika, Orochi and Musashi holding Kaitos jumped down. Lastly, Meri followed and now we''re all exposed to the crowd. "Uwaa, that brown skin....someone from Bunna. Gross......" Spectator 1 "Don''t let the barbarians contaminate a sacred event!" Spectator 2 Naturally, the anger of the spectators did not settle and things were thrown at a rapid pace. That''s what happened to Venu, who won such a fierce battle......these people......no matter how much Venu forgives, it is my limit of patience already. "Sh, I¡äm on the verge of......" Craft I let the magic of my anger squeak from my body and I became mad......at that time. "Silent! Everyone is such a disgrace!" ??? Suddenly, a loud roar is heard in the colosseum with a howling sound. The lord of the voice is a person who is unexpected for us....... "Ol......Older sister!?" Venu "I don''t want to listen to everyone''s complain! This girl is the winner of the tournament! It''s my sister, Venuseral! It''s good to give compliments a little!" Prinella The only thing we could do was to wait and see the audience hoarseness in the same way as we did, of course, Prinella screamed loudly as if she had cut her eyebrows. "Sorry I used to hate this girl in the past! In the castle it was dark, as Venu was favored by our grandmother and learned how to use a gun!" Prinella "He, hey? Pripri......?" Craft "But last year, when I competed in the final with her, I was so happy! This girl loves shooting like me! So I tried to introduce her to everyone properly! Because of her dirty blonde hair, this child was bullied! Mukiiiiii!" Prinella "Eh? What was that......?" Venu The treatment that Venu received from Prinella in the previous tournament. The hood that hid the hair was removed and it is introduced that this girl is Prinella¡äs fledged sister though it is a child with dirty blonde hair......it certainly might have seemed to be a bad deal if it is seen from Venu''s viewpoint. But I''m sure there was no offense from Prinella. The fact that Venu''s blond hair seems dirty for Baretorian......therefore, it is a point that it has blurted out by momentum.It is not thought that it becomes the ditch of the sister who is decisive©¤©¤ "It''s true that we Baretorian care about our hair! But if that makes my pretty sister stupid or hated! I, I!" Prinella The scene from there is surely something that Venu cant forget for the rest of her life. In front of her eyes, she thought that her real elder sister hated her. "I don''t need this kind of hair!" Prinella Prinella cut off her proud blonde hair from the base and the neck with a knife. The hair is as important to the Baretorians as life. As Venu was saying in the dungeon, cutting long hair that was extended was a great pain for Baretorian...... "A, Aa......older sister! That beautiful hair, why......?" Venu "......Don''t worry about it, Venusera! My hair is going to grow to the same length someday" Prinella The falling hair that is flying in the wind isn''t looked at and Prinella puts her hand on Venu''s head. "I''m sorry at that time. It is late, but......I wanted to apologize all the time" Prinella "U, Ueee, older sister sorry......" Venu Gently, Venu clinging to Prinella¡äs dress. Prinella gently embraces Venu just to say that it doesn''t matter if she gets muddy. "Nii-san......it¡¯s bad, I''m almost crying" Efrika "I''m sorry because I''m no longer doing......zubiiii" "Gre-at Ve-nu-se-ra......! It''s been a long timeeee!" "Shaaa......stoppp" Orochi "Good story. Great, passion. *Clapping*" Everyone in this place including me was touched by the beautiful bond of these sisters. And the impression seems to have been gradually spreading to the audience seat full of bad faith and hostility until a while ago...... "The first princess has her hair......can you say anything?" Spectator 1 "Sacrificing her national treasure graded hair for that ash-haired......no, she tried to protect her sister" Spectator 2 "I, I say it''s because of it! The ash-haired princess turns into a great thing!" Spectator 3 "But what does that say? Even if the hair was ugly, Venusera-sama did fight well and won the championship. And for other countries......she''s the pride of Baretoria!" Spectator 4 "It''s not for herself but for people......I feel ashamed of myself" Spectator 5 In the midst of confusion......one or more seats start sending warm applause to Venu. Some of them went away from the spectator seat without getting angry, but the majority of the spectators seemed to honor Venu''s struggle and Prinella''s literally persuasive persuasion. "Hiiku, Craft, I......I did it!" Venu "Yes. Well done Venu, you¡äre so attractive that I fall in love with you again" Craft Leaving Prinella¡äs side, this time Venu jumps into my chest. My sister-in-law was dissatisfied, but she cant do anything. "You have saved her, PriPri. You have become a good sister" Craft "It''s Prinella! Huh, I''m not admitting you yet!" Prinella Prinella diverts her face in a glimpse of my gratitude. She''s a pretty cute girl, though. ".....That person is more difficult than me" Prinella "That person......?" Craft "You will see it soon....." Prinella Prinella stares behind me as if she has something to feel good about. At the end of the line of sight, there was a figure of a woman who didn''t know when she had been there. A strange-looking woman dressed in an elegant black royal costume......a big cinion made of sparkling golden hair and blue eyes reminiscent of the sea. Hey, hey, no way......! "......You come out at this timing" Prinella "Whh, Wh,Wh, What!" Venu Venu''s eyes were colored in surprise. It is not impossible either. After all it''s this person...... "Yo, your Majesty!" Nois "Venusera, Nois. Both of you, it was a great fight" The Queen Litilsier Zeronagar Baretoria. She is Venusera¡äs mother and the present Queen of Baretoria and she is approaching here while hiding her mouth with a beautifully designed fan. "You were able to compete with each other, but as long as this is decided, no matter who says it, Venusera.........your victory will not fluctuate. This is what the Queen of Baretoria admits" The queen "Mimi, its undeserved! Thank you very much!" Venu "And prince of Dibair and his companions......well endured. From visiting this country to the present, my daughter and guards......let''s apologize for the rudeness of the people instead" The queen We are overwhelmed by the Queen of Baretoria who folds her fan and lowers her head. It was because I didn''t think that the queen would apologize in such a place. And why does she know that we were having a hard time? Did she hear from Prinella? "No, no! We got married without a greeting......" Venu "Yeah! I can''t give my cute little sister to something like this!" Prinella "Alright Prinella. Don''t expose any more demeanor in front of the people" The queen The Queen of Baretoria stops the quarrel between the sisters and stared at my face. "Prince of Dibair, Craft! Prinella isn''t malice. This child is the country......it''s an act of thinking about her younger sister, Venusera. Will you forgive her?" The queen Tsk, after all, she is the queen. We have no veto power, as the queen apologized immediately under this vigilant eyesight. If we say here one of the complaints, it is equivalent to muddying the face of the Queen of Baretoria. "I don''t mind. I also have a sister......I can understand the feelings of Princess Prinella" Craft "Thank you very much, prince Craft. I appreciate that consideration" The Queen I would do the same thing if Leona got a marriage partner, and now I have no intention to blame Prinella. But I was forced to apologize in this way. Here too, I don''t feel well unless I give it back. "Your Majesty the Queen, its late......but a good opportunity. Here again, greetings" Craft "Greeting......?" The queen "Yes, this time, I receive Venusera, who is the second princess of Baretoria, as one of my wives. It''s a slightly weird marriage for us......but could you forgive me?" Craft I met with the eyes of the queen. She doesn''t respond immediately during this time, even if I think in my heart that there isn''t a decline. "Is it......fine?" Craft "......Yes, of course. I bless the marriage of you two in the name of the Queen of Baretoria" The queen "Uguuu......I, don''t want......I, Venusera......my cute Venusera!" Prinella "Prinella" The queen "Yes......I will bless you too" Prinella Prinella said so after hearing the queen¡äs voice......at that moment. "Hey! Be happy, second princess!" Spectator Such cheering is thrown from one of the spectators who was watching the outcome quietly. "She is no longer the second princess. If you call her, it''s probably Venusera-samal!" Spectator 1 "Congratulations to your marriage, Venusera-sama!" Spectator 2 "But her partner is the prince of Dibair. Is this something she wants......?" Spectator 3 "What do you want! Anyway, congratulations on winning and marrying!" Spectator 4 The cheers gradually increased in momentum and eventually the whole audience surrounding us began to send whistle with applause. All that is the only one here. "Fo, for me......? People, everyone?" Venu It was dedicated to Venu. She, who had been hated as the ash-haired princess, has won the shooting tournament and is now turning into a popular figure. "Wave your hand, Venu. You''re finally recognized" Craft "Ah......I, I was admitted......" Venu Prompted by me, Venu is on her way to raise her dominant arm......but Venu draws her face. I wonder if her feet still aches, when I look into her face anxiously...... "Uh, whry......do mry tear keerp coming out......evern though, I¡¯m harppy" Venu (TLC note: yup, not typo, just her tears stuck in the sentence) It seemed to be an unnecessary concern. Even if it hurts, Venu won''t mind now. I hope that the moment that never ceases......because it is caught by the whole body now. "What What! You are going to celebrate by returning your hand!" Prinella "Stop it now Prinella. Our role is over" The Queen "Similarly, I, lost, leave" Nois Did they read the air, as Prinella and the others turned around to the entrance of the stadium. Along the way......she remembered something and the queen stopped at a moment and walked to the vicinity of Venu who is waving at the audience. "Venusera, the winner of this tournament. As a token of this......receive this" The queen "This is......the necklace with the sacred stone!" Venu "Normally, it is something to be given at the award ceremony......but aren''t you in a hurry?" The queen A golden necklace that could create a chaos is held in Venu¡äs hands. A silver glittering gem in the middle of the necklace is the sacred stone. "You can treat this however you like. You can use it to save Bunna......" The queen "I dont mind. I thought I would be opposed......" Venu "......I didn''t try to save my old friend so much that I cared about my position. Venusera, thanks to you, I......I didn''t end up fighting with an important friend" The queen The queen narrows her eyes softly as she looks back on her nostalgic memories. "Emm that friend is......" Craft "Venusera. I will withdraw the military base for you who wished to save Bunna. No matter how many oppositions there are, I''m the Queen of Baretoria and approved your wish" The queen Without replying to my question, the queen affirmed Venu''s wish. And as she catches up with Prinella, they leave as it is. "Aahaa, mother had a Bunna friend. I''m so surprised!" Prinella "Don''t waste your mouth Prinella. Well, we''ll be leaving now" The queen "Bye-bye, Red person. I will see you again" Nois When we saw the queen, Prinella and Nois leave from the entrance, only we were left here. I never dreamed that the queen of Baretoria would bless our marriage......but it seemed like they could even recognize Venu, which was really good. "Don''t Craft. It''s all about greetings" Venu "Ah, this finally solved all the problems" Craft Disappointingly, we accept the pleasant applause. We saved Bunna and Venu was also recognized......now the problem that bothers us is gone. "Craft! Lets cheer together!" Venu "Hey hey, Nii-san me too!" Efrika We were just floating. It might be that they were all relieved that everything was going well and that the honeymoon was about to end. "Ouu! We''re going now!" Craft "Muu, I feel I''m forgetting something very important......wait a minute. After all!" Kaitos "What are you talking about, Kaitos? Aren''t you coming with us?" Craft "Craft! That fellow is......where is Orochi?" Kaitos "Ha? Orochi......what!" Craft That''s why we couldn''t notice at this time. "Kisshaaa! Venusera, congratulations on winning. It was good shaa" Orochi "Ooohohohoho! If it is with my ability, it is an inevitable thing!" Venu It''s good, she is right next to us trembling with delight...... "......Sha, Venusera. Just for that necklace......can you show me that?" Orochi A further crisis is imminent©¤©¤ Volume 2, 7: Honeymoon until we go home! Volume 2, Chapter 7: Honeymoon until we go home! I think children''s jokes are good and cute. So was Leona, but they want to draw someone''s attention......when they want your attention and they know you can''t do it, children try to do anything. Leona has never been so, but I rather regretted that she hasn''t done it. Leona did a bad thing because she didn''t speak properly and didn''t look at it. "Haha, I''m sorry. She has taken the sacred stone from Venu, swallowed it and regained her original power......it''s bad because I didn''t look at her closely" Standing in the middle of the collapsing colosseum and gazing at the gigantic snake thats winding around......I leak a sigh of self-indulgence. I was aware that Orochi was planning something, but I couldn''t stop her. I was careless at the last minute and didn''t had my vigilance on......it''s this stuff. "N, no matter how much you regret now; it has no use" The screams of the escaping audiences are turned into BGM, and nine heads slowly raise their necks. The whole body covered with shining silver scales diffuses the light of the sun and accelerates the collapse of the colosseum while winding around. Unlike the nine necks, there is only one tail is, but it is long enough to fill the match area, so it seems that the inner wall is broken into pieces with only a slight movement. By the way, I haven''t been watching for a long time and I would like to respond as soon as possible, but it is inconvenient to stimulate Orochi until the audiences have escaped safely......uh, its troublesome. "Wa, this is quite bad!" "Hm? Isn''t that Nois, was she still in that place?" Jumping into my field of vision as I was holding up my head was a red riding hood that I thought had escaped long ago......the image of Nois. It seems that she has been late to escape. "Uuuu......! Uuu!" Nois is running away from the match area and avoids the falling rubble in a short time. At the end of a dangerous step, she finally stumble upon a broken wall fragment...... and fall over. "Amyaaa! It, it hurts......" "Nois! It¡¯s dangerouuusss!!" It was almost the same time as I cried out that a huge rubble poured over Nois. It''s no good, it''s just like being under the rubble. As soon as I reached out in a hurry to pull out Angelos from the hip holster, somebody rushed out to Nois¡äs side. "Good girl good girl! Nois, does it hurt anywhere ?" "¡­¡­Hue?" Hair¡äs breadth. It was Meri that came to the rescue just before Nois was crushed. The rubble which has fallen is caught with one hand, and it is thrown away by the expression of the margin. "the Bunna person......?" "I''m Meri. I want you to stop calling me Bunna person" "Yes......thank you, Meri" Nois bows down to Meri and shows a lovely smile. "Hey, well done Meri!" While being relieved that Nois was saved, I also rushed to Meri''s side. "Ah, it''s red person! Muhuu!" As soon as she saw my figure, Nois jumps happily. I feel nostalgic and I don''t feel bad, so I stretch my hand to stroke her head......bikyuuun. ChiriChiri......suddenly my bangs burnt with a bullet. "......It is good that all of you are fine" While touching my hit bangs, I turn to the five shadows that creep up behind me. "Venu, are you trying to make a mistake?" "Hmm, that''s right! I think that Craft is bad now!" "Kuuu, if I have my sword, I will kill her and throw her away" "Um. I didn''t bring Musashi¡äs sword......bad luck" What a disappointment, Kaitos. In other words neither Danthes nor Meri¡äs trident are here. It''s hard to say that I was able to merge at the same time. "Ah, I''m fine. I can summon things that I have seen once with summon magic" "Summon magic is a useful magic, but isn''t it a banned magic? It is also banned under the continental law......but this time its alright because it''s an emergency, but that''s not impressive" Which mouth saying this panty thief. Meri, you don''t have to worry about it. "Ah, I''m sorry......I, I''ve been able to remember most of the magic from the past" "Eh? So, this time, can you tell me the magic of obedience?¡¡That''s really a prohibition of S-class magic, so the spell method is not left in Dibair!¡¡Hey, hey hey? It''s okay right?" "Don''t you not admire the banned magic?" "Yeah, it''s good! It''s easy if you grasp the knack, so anyone can do it!" And you don''t even say something horrible. Eh, you''re not using it, are you? She has never used it against me......probably. "Ignore, passing through, for sure. That''s......not good" Well, I forgot Nois¡äs existence from this stupid story. "Not good, Not good. First of all, we have to let Nois escape from here" Nois was injured when she had just fallen and her leg is bleeding. Someone should carry Nois here and escape together. "Ah, leave it to me! I will use the combined magic of water and wind!" Clapping both palms together, magic is released. Then bubbles like soap bubbles extend softly between the palms and Meri wraps it so as to cover Nois¡äs body with it. "Amazing. A person has entered the soap bubble" "Awawaa. I''m in the bubble, I''m all alone" "You can escape if you can''t run with this. Because it is strong against shocks, rubbles can also be prevented" As soon as Meri released her hand, the soap bubble that completely wrapped around Nois began to float. "Float......I floated" "Even if it just lifts up a person, it''s amazing......but is it all right, this?" I felt so nervous or anxious that I try to push hard against the soap bubble with my fingertip. Strong elasticity...... indeed this seems to be sturdy. "Craft. We have no time to play" "Ah, sorry. Everyone, we''re going to defeat Orochi!" Slowly, with the power of the soap bubble Nois is flying out of the colosseum and we run to the front of the giant Orochi. "I, I''m flying! I''m flying!" Nois¡äs shout heard from behind becomes increasingly distant and eventually cant be heard. That''s also because the roar of "Gyarigyari" where Orochi¡äs huge body which fills up the colosseum rubs if it gets close to here soars incessantly. "Good job, Meri! Can I ask you to summon our weapons?" "Okaayyy! Yeah, it will take a while, so please wait!" While avoiding the tail that move around, Meri begins to draw a bluish magic circle in the air using the magic power coming from her fingertip. While she is preparing the weapons......are we going to distract Orochi. "Musashi come here! Venu you go behind me, Efrika further behind!" I, Meri and Musashi are side by side and at a near-medium distance. And behind us is Venu, who is in charge of long-range attacks and Efrika is in charge of recovery support, in the last column. "Craft. Where should I stand?" "You''re the front row. It''s the toughest of all, and it''s the most trusted in battle" "Hm, reasonable. As long as I am here, no one will suffer a wound" Kaitos shows her teeth and reveals her fighting spirit. All the others have a dignified face......well, it''s enough. "Ushaaa! Here it is! Come!" When I plunge my arm into the magic circle drawn by Meri, the magic circle emits a green flash. "First, Craft-sensei! Next, Musashi, the last is me!" It is definitely Danthes that I held in my hand when I pulled out. Then the two large swords of Musashi came out, the last is Meri''s own huge trident. Okay, we now have all our weapons. "......Haa. If this is known, Musashi''s father will be mad at you" Remembering the last fight I had with Danthes, I remember the match with the old man before. Even though I did my best to protect it, this arrangement of Orochi is too harsh. "It''s fine. Even if the result is a failure, the work of Craft-dono was fine" "Umm, there is no time to fall down. So far, all we can do is to stop her" "A child in a rebellious period needs a punitive arrangement" "Naahahahaha! Bang, let''s scold her firmly!" "Everyone do your best! I will support you!" As a non-combatant Efrika kept it in mind, with the exception of Kaitos, I felt like everyone was prepared with a weapon. After that, it depends on our target''s mind...... "Wait I haven''t confirmed it yet......Orochi will you return the sacred stone carefully and if you¡äre sorry we''ll forgive you. How do you do? Are you willing to apologize?" The answer is clear, but the other party hasn''t noticed us yet. I felt that it would be tempting to hit something like that, so I tried to call out...... """""""SHAAAAAA!""""""" A total of eighteen eyes look down at us. The nine heads set their sights on us in a swaying motion, as if each one had a different intention. Well, after all persuasion is impossible. "You''ve lost to me and Kaitos once, but you''re so confident, Orochi" Well, compared to a few months ago......I also understand that she underwent a great power-up. However, Orochi seems to be unaware of a deadly thing. "Hii, huu, mii......there are still nine heads!" "What is nine people doing?" "Because I¡äm a dual swordwielder, I can afford two!" "That''s right. If I have two guns, I can also afford to fight two" "Nanahahaha! Well then I''m also fighting two!" "Well, then I will have to go for two too?" "I can''t help, I''ll try to hold back the torso and tail. I will be the most suitable one for that task" But what about the other one? I''m not proud of it, but I can''t do it alone" "Well, don''t kill everything......if we cut only her heads, I guess she''ll be back to her kid form again" And so, we re-confirm our roles......suddenly, a tail comes swinging downward from the sky. The terrific tail hit deep in the ground and it was about to blow us away with the aftermath shock. Oh, it''s dangerous. It was good that everyone seemed to be safe. """""""""KyaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!""""""""" "Oooo. What is it Orochi, are you angry?" It seems that she didn''t like our chattering, so the nine heads let out their anger with a scream. "I''m sure you were the last person to fight with me and Kaitos when we fought. The power of the sacred stone made you more powerful now than before. But you forgot one thing?" After looking at Efrika and the others who stand around me, I look up at Orochi with a smile. "I am different from that time too. I will teach you my new strength" Quickly, we all start attacking towards Orochi all at once. At first, Kaitos, who changed to her battle form in the air in an instant, squeezed her sharp claws done and pressed down Orochi¡äs body. """""""""KyaaAAAAAAAA!!""""""""" "Huh, don''t look down on us, Orochi......! The current Craft...we are stronger than anyone else" Kaitos who receive a counterattack by Orochi¡äs tail that was released strongly also attacks with her tail. "Haaaaaaaa!!" "Deiyaaaaaa!!" At that moment, the slashings that Musashi and Meri released, each cut one head at a time. "So fast. If you are looking at it, my quota is likely to be gone!" A reddish brown magic bullet strikes another head of Orochi directly in a row, as it sews the shadow of the rotating head as it spins around while splattering fresh blood. Adjust this power......its enough to cut the head. """"""Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"""""" "......It hurts, after all. Orochi, I''ll make it easy soon" I also shoot a bullet with Angelos, which has stored lightning magic, as I followed Venu and let it hit the fourth head. This is the four......five remaining. "Orochi-dono, I''m sorry for the slow motion!" "Oops! Next one is here!" "Orochi-chan......all this is for you!" Musashi, Meri, Venu. All three attack three more heads one by one in an instant again. I continue to hit Danthes at the 8th head and go to the remaining head. "It looks like you''ve said it was an unexpected counterattack. But the answer is simple" Orochi who shakes her head without being able to scream is still held down by Kaitos. Her eyes were as if she fears death......no, she was so wet with tears as to grieve for something. "We are the best couples in the world. Only one can win, but......" Gakiin, I hit something in Orochi¡äs remaining head where Danthes''s tip was thrust in. Perhaps this is the sacred stone that was absorbed. Then, if I remove it! "I don''t know if you understand my words, but......" ""Gyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"" "Return the sacred stone......what" Danthes''s slash, beautiful beheads the neck that has absorbed the sacred stone. The next moment, Orochi''s big body starts to emit light......and disappears into the sky like smoke. As it is, Orochi lost her power......why is she disappearing? "Orochi......!" The neck that was being anchored also begins to emit light and disappears and my body falls to the ground. At that time, I was caught in a light that was scattered thinly......I certainly heard it. "......Shaa......sorry, please" A small longing voice that speaks directly to my head, not in my ears. Listening to that, the action I chose is©¤©¤ "Huuu......I got it" I breathe out as I look over the colosseum that collapsed due to Orochi''s runaway. One night has passed since that fuss......now it is about noon. --------------------------------- "Good grief. It was a great deal of efforts, Craft-dono" Mars-sama standing next to me smiles while watching me sideways. Why is Mars-sama in Baretoria......there are various circumstances. "I didn''t do anything. If you admire someone, please do it to them" "Yes. They''re wonderful brides...... as long as I''m jealous as a man" At the point where I turned my eyes, the figures of Efrika and the others who sleep by putting their shoulders against each other behind a tree. They¡äre quite tired. After that battle, we hurried to Bunna through the night and after delivering the sacred stone, we went back again. I also have to rest now. "......Thank you again, Craft-dono. Not only did you brought us the sacred stone back, but you also achieved the withdrawal of Baretoria¡äs military base" "But this is just because we couldn''t prevent the revival of Orochi. Luckily, we didn''t seem to get injured......but still a historic building became a mess" Even for Venu, it was supposed to be a place of concern. What, I''ve been making footsteps to where I regret...... "It''s okay, particularly. The people of Bunna restore it with magic" "Oh, PriPri! Has the meeting between the Queen and Igina-san finished?" "My name is Prinella! It''s time for you to remember it!" Now, as Prinella said, the colosseum is being restored by the people of Bunna. This is because it is very difficult to restore old buildings with the technology of Baretoria as it was and it was judged that the magical power of Bunna was indispensable. However, it is a talk that could be realized just because Mars-sama offered to cooperate. "HooHooHoo, Craft-dono. It seems like the collapse of the colosseum has helped the relation of Bunna and Baretoria" At the beginning, it was Baretoria, who was unhappy with Bunna''s cooperation, but their attitude changed dramatically as they saw Bunna¡äs restoration magic. It would have been unbelievable that the people of Bunna who they had looked down to until now had better technology than themselves. At the end of our eyes, the people of Bunna repair with magic and the Baretorians who are seeing it, laugh awkwardly. Perhaps because there was Venu¡äs case just before, discrimination may have diminished. "That''s right. But over there the mothers are having a fight and it might escalate" "Mothers are......ah, those two?" While the people''s relatives are deepening, the two who represent the country are©¤©¤ "Daaa! The-re-fore! I wonder if the repair people say they''re going to finish it right away! Don''t be an hindrance!" "No. I think it is difficult to restore the colosseum in the sense of Igina. Do you remember Zefiro being shaken by the unsavory gift you made?" "Be quiet! I was shaken, I was shaken!" The Queen of Baretoria and Igina-san are in command of the scene and are playing the role of a child. I would like to hear the details of the content in many ways......but it seems like that is not possible. "Hoohoohoo, it''s almost like we¡äre back in the day. Dibair¡äs Zefirio, Isamura¡äs General Masamune, Kurinos''s King Sedo......when we played together" As Igina-san was saying, it seems that the tops of the five countries were childhood friends. But something big has happened...as they are now estranged. "Sometimes I will say goodbye to people. It is a pity that the relationship between us has been separated once, but......now, Craft-dono is trying to connect the countries" "I''m going to try that......but it is still a long way to take on the throne" Even in this event, it just happened to have worked well. Somehow my strength is...... "Hohoo, it''s time for you to know. I don''t know if I can see it in this short remaining years body, but Craft-dono. Meri......I would like to thank you in the name of whole Rusanas" If I go to stop Igina-san''s fight, Mars-sama will go out and poke the cane as it is. "Huuh? You are overestimating us" "Well. I think I''ll see if I''m overestimating you by looking forward in the future" "I, I don''t care what you do. Ah, which reminds me......yesterday, you are the Bunna person who saved Nois from her pinch, right? You have my thanks" Nois¡äs pinch? Ah, it was when Meri¡äs magic expired. "So Nois, said that she was saved by a person from Bunna" "Hee......? What Nois?" "Yes. she was in a soap bubble I created and flew in the sky......I wondered if she wanted to boast of that person. Well, that girl is a little different?" Anyway, I think that it seems to be possible that it is so if Nois has changed. It is hard to imagine that Nois aims to raise Bunna''s image and spread the story. "Marshal Granbanil said "I thank you for rescuing Nois", when he heard the story and also said last night that he banned hostility against Bunna, the country of birth of his daughter''s benefactor" "Hostile acts banned? Why......?" "No matter how privileged it was to withdraw the base, it would have been meaningless if it was built elsewhere. Honto, you guys are too stupid to be troubled" "Ah, is that so. I didn''t care until then......" Stopping the battle in front of them. Mars was full of minds to avoid the crisis. Thanks to Meri''s saving Nois''s life, the possibility of the war between Bunna and Baretoria is completely gone. Indeed, my wife is really a woman who can do it. "Su, such a place might be pretty...aah, you''re a cute idiot Venusera.........!" "When I''m thinking of Leona, I don¡¯t think I would be seen in this way...... or so I thought" Shaking my waist and waving my waist, I repeatedly put myself on the prinellula... and the cloth bag I carry started to shake greatly. I''m sorry, my voice is too big and it seems t awakened...? "By the way, I was anxious from the beginning, but......what is with the bag behind you?" ".....Nothing, why?" "Lie! It''s a very big bag, perhaps......" Kuu, danger. I cant tell about the contents of this bag on this occasion. If the content is exposed to the people of Baretoria, it will be a big noise. "You¡äre a mean woman. You should pretend not to notice it even if you know it, here" "What? Have you been kind to me......!" "Hey hey, I hope you get along well with me if you are to become the Queen of Baretoria" "......Well, that''s absolutely not acceptable" Why am I hated so much? I will cry after all...... "Because I can''t get married to you when I become the queen" "What does the queen getting married has to do.....wait?" What did Prinella say just now? To be......my bride? "E, Eeeeeee? You, really? Impossible!" "Puu......what, just kidding just kidding! Aahaa, look at your funny face!" While laughing and holding her stomach, Prinella runs backwards. Well, it wasn''t a joke now! I guess she is really serious though. "Craft! You must respect Venusera or I will never forgive!" Shouting with a cute smile, Prinella ran away from my side. "Certainly. I don''t think that there was a blatant flag up" It is good to expect strange things. In fact, I already have five wives. Cheating is not good. Besides, they would be angry if they could see a scene like this. "What do you think Venuseral? About your sister?" "I heard that. But I have never heard that my sister had fallen in love with anyone" "That were the eyes of a girl who fell in love! "Naahaahaahaa! I think that she has completely fallen!" "I agree. That Prinella......! Seduced my Craft!" Let''s correct it. It seems they are already confirmed to be angry. "......Did you wake up?" "Yes, long ago. That......we''ve been watching you......uhuhu" When I notice, my wives stand behind me. It seems that they were too hooked on the story. "Craft-dono, are you ready?" "Please dont pull out your sword" "Okay. I''ll do my best not to hurt" "Yeah. Let''s stop lifting the trident more!" I take a distance from the two who are trying to bring out their weapons. I want to think it''s a joke, but I''m scared because their eyes aren''t laughing! Especially Meri! "Even though......this is the end of the honeymoon" Efrika doesn''t know my fear and murmurs so heartily. It seems that everyone else is on the same opinion, stopping their hands and nodded. "Really, you did well, everyone" Not just greetings. At Isamura, there was the reconciliation between Musashi and her father. In Baretoria we were able to let Venu be recognized by the people and see signs of resolving Bunna''s discrimination problem. "I don''t call it a normal honeymoon, but......it was an interesting trip" "Umm. I cant say it was a big success" "Ohoohoohooho! On the contrary, for me it was a big success! It already was a big success!" "Don''t say it is twice, it''s gloomy" "Meri will be poisoned...... but yes, Venusera-dono is sly!" All of them start arguing whether they are full of energy by having gone to sleep. They¡äre totally different from Igina-san, right? "Well Well. Shall we go back to Dibair......soon?" "Eh, that''s right. Huhuu, it''s only a few days......but I feel so nostalgic" "Kaitos, the travel ends here. So I rely on you" "Of course. I have a few chances to do it" Kaitos fly away into the sky, rotates once and turns into her original shape. The people of Baretoria raise voices and begin to make noise as if a monster appeared again in the form of a large dragon that suddenly appeared. Don''t wait and leave quickly! "Hey, let''s get everyone on board before the noise increases!" When I say that, Musashi jumped on Kaitos¡äs back. Continued with Venu, Meri, Efrika......I jumped on at last. "Well well, if you say so, Nii-san......so what about that child?" "Ah, she is in here. It''s awkward if she is noticed by others" I show the shaking bag to Efrika who seize the reins. It has been working since the beginning, but there is no sign of coming out yet. "Yes, but if something similar happens again......" "It''s not going to happen Efrika. It''s our job to avoid that" I have failed once, but I will definitely prevent it from now on. Such a thing may not occur again, but...... "If Sensei decided so, we won''t say anything!" "That''s right, Craft. I''m thinking the same way!" "In addition, it is our role to support Craft-dono!" "......I won''t say anything. Well, let''s go Craft!" Everyone acknowledged and believed in me. So I was honest with my feelings. "I won''t regret it" Kaitos carry us and fly away high in the blue sky. I wonder if something got in my eyes when I was flying now. Chi, tears come out...... "Ah......really good wives" My leaked voice disappears in the clouds that penetrated. The hectic honeymoon will be over soon. A little more, as long as the air travel continues......let''s try to enjoy the time left. The honeymoon that I felt were short and long ended and we are on the way to return to the royal capital of Dibair. -- "Kishaa......? What......?" "Oh, did you finally wake up Orochi?" It was about three hours after we returned from Baretoria that Orochi woke up on a bed prepared in a room inside Dora castle. "Shaaa? Return my head......?" "Return your head.....I think you have your memory this time. That''s good" The situation might not be understood right now, as Orochi shakes her head. Her appearance is that of a young girl as I discovered at Isamura......and the tone is back to that of those days. By the way, the poncho she is wearing now is the one that Efrika has remade again. Her previous clothes were torn up when she turned into the nine-headed serpent. "Where is......this?" "Hmm? Ah, this is a freshly prepared room......your room" "Shaa? Room? Mine?" "Yes. I will explain it to you elsewhere, so follow me" When I beckoned, Orochi jumped out of bed and came to the hallway following me. Okay, I think that I feel relieved that there is no problem with her movement...... "AAh! Craft-niisama! Orochi-chan, you woke up!" Leona notices us from the back of the corridor and comes close. Nhaa......my cute Leona. After all my sister is the the continent¡äs number one sister. "I''ll introduce you, Orochi, this is my younger sister, the great angel Leona" "Younger sister......Leona......?" "Nice to meet you, Orochi-chan. My best regards!" Holding Orochi¡äs hands, Leona smiles with joy. "Good Leona. You didn''t have many friends on the same age, right?" "Buu, you¡äre terrible Nii-sama! I few......I have friends!" "Friends? Orochi¡äs friends?" Orochi repeats Leona''s words while tilting her head. Does she not understand the meaning of the word friend? "Well, we don''t know much about each other yet, but let''s be friends!" "Shaa......uh!" Gently, Orochi grabs Leona''s hand again. She also has a seemingly innocent smile. "Yess! Well then, I will guide you through the castle!" "Let''s go along well together. I rely on you Leona" "Ehehee, see you later Nii-sama!" Holding hands, Leona and Orochi run away. "......Cute. I''m healed "I saw it, I saw it. I saw Craft-sama, who was swayed by perverted persimmon" Even though I was being healed by the angels, the devil that appeared from behind the pillar disturbs me. "Idiot. I don''t have a lolicon hobby. What I''m seeing is the potential of them" They are cute only as they are young. How beautiful would they be when they grow up¡­...? "After all, it''s just buying a rich harvest, while the fields are still green. Uwa, you ruined my mood!" "......Don''t say anything, it''s hateful" Zenan continues further while scolding my pure heart with her stabbing words. "By the way......why did you help a demon¡äs child?" "Hmm......well, we got back the sacred stone. So why shouldn''t I save her" After regaining the sacred stone, it was Efrika¡äs healing magic that saved Orochi who was about to disappear. Orochi ran out of magic and was in a dangerous state, but the horrible erection bullet that I had by chance......and the magic crystal played a role in keeping her alive in this world. It seems that the magic was poured into Orochi''s body in the reverse order than last time and the magic that was lost was compensated. ¡°Isamura and Baretoria send a letter of thanks for defeating the monster......and a letter of thanks has been received from Bunna for saving them from a crisis" Orochi is supposed to be defeated in the world. So in this way we are able to protect her. "It was a really busy honeymoon. It was fun but tiresome......" I had no time to rest and because I jumped around in different places, my back hurts and I cant help it. "Beard and bald, the knight commander of Craft¡äs fan club and Delrogello were delighted. You''re getting more and more popular" "Fan club......you''re kidding? I hope you''re the one who creates such a playful club" "Huhuhu, this Zenan is the founder and current chairman, so please rest assured" "......Maybe it''s better than Delrogello and the others" From those words I don''t know if Zenan is joking or being serious, but I have no doubt that she holds my head. It was a mistake to come back so soon and get involved with this Zenan......! "Muu, I''ve been looking for you, Craft!" "Ah, it looks like Orochi woke up safely" When I am struggling to interact with Zenan, my wives are coming together. It seems that they came to check on Orochi¡äs condition. "Ou, if you''re searching for Orochi, she went to play nicely with Leona" "Leona-dono`Oh, it would be nice if they got along well!" "Naahaahaa! Leona will be glad to have a good playmate!" "Ah mou! Those two are too cute!" With all concerns completely gone, everyone unleashes a joyful voice. But for some reason, Zenan hates them all and stares with a bitter face. "Everyone, are you not aware that Orochi-sama has become a new bride candidate?" "Hmm? I wonder. It''s okay, but......what do you think, Nii-san?" "Pass, pass. It''s not my hobby, even when she is a girl" "Well, that means you think other when she grow up?" Don''t turn around my words. No, it might be so, though. "It''s not like she''s our kid anymore. It will take a lot of hands from now on, and will often be swayed......I promised Musashi''s father" I will be responsible until the end no matter what I do. So I''m going to firmly take care of Orochi until the end. I may be betrayed again......or she may try to revive with that hand. But still, I saved her with my own intention. When I can''t handle her, I''ll throw her away, I can''t say that anymore and I don''t want to say it. "Oh yes. Orochi is a little different from us, but I really want to be a good family for her. No matter how hard it is......" "Of course I agree! The more members in our family, the more fun there is!" No one raises an opposite voice. It may be that I have put up a hardship with my selfish judgment...... but because it is Orochi, I don''t think that hardship is hardship either. "......Anyway, to Orochi-sama''s case, everyone is surprisingly tolerant of the increase in the number of new wives" "For royalty, concubines are the norm" "A new bride or not. It would be fine as long as Craft cherish us without change!" "Indeed" Zenan starts taking notes on her notebook that she has taken out of her skirt pocket. On the cover, was written "Zenan-san, thumping Craft-sama ensnaring diary, love and hate compilation". "Well, if you look at the face we saw......maybe" "Yes, just mercilessly devours any person with doubtful origin" "I don''t mind if breasts are small. Huge breasts need to be discussed" "I see I see I see" While taking notes, Zenan nods over and over again. This fellow, what does she want to do......? "How about that. Everyone knows her well and the mind is purer than anyone else......let''s add a beautiful and hard working perfect maid as a bride candidate, too" "The transcendent flat chest is missing, perfect maid" "Nbue©`" Zenan inflates her eyebrows and protests to my words...... "What''s wrong with you, isn''t it somewhat strange? It''s strange that the way you''re entangled is just that you''re sweet......it''s no longer a thorn like you were before" "¡­¡­I agree" For my exact point, her complexion doesn''t change, but......Zenan makes her face look like she''s gone somewhere. What a strange reaction. "I wonder how would I think now" "This is not a level of insensitivity, this big fool" "Craft-domo! Is still a boy!" "Hmm, I think Sensei is a little weird" "The difference between good and bad times is too intense!" Eh? Why is it now that I¡äm blackmouthed by them! "No, I''m fine, everyone. This is the reason for this nursery rhyme. The only power of this flat-chested and prideful maid is that it was foolish to think that I was expecting to be good enough for Craft-sama" "Hey! Don''t say such a vulgar thing! There is a relationship!" It reminds me that she had seen my son on the day of departure, and she turned red unexpectedly. I''m glad to see a reaction like that, but Zenan continues to speak in a bouncy voice. "......By the way, Craft-sama. This excellent Zenan has a celebration gift" "A celebration gift, from you?" "Yes yes, I have prepared it, so please receive it." Zenan is handing over an envelope taken out of her pocket. When I opened the inside, there was something like a ticket. "What is this......? Is it a ticket for an airship?" "I think that there was no time to rest for everyone''s heart on the greeting trip......so I arranged this" Are you serious? Zenan for us......? "Zenan! What a wonderful maid you are!" "If it''s an airship, I''m also able to move in a human-like way" "Zenan-dono! I''m sorry I need to re-examine you!" "Let''s praise! More praise! Please worship me!" The girls are applauding and responding to Zenan''s words.....hmm? "But this airship''s ticket says it''s a lease, but......there is no destination written" I look at the back, but it is only marked as a free pass. Where does this travel ticket go? "You know where you''re going. It''s the place to finish this honeymoon......that place you know, pervert Craft-sama" Lewd? What does that have to do with travel......no, wait. Travel......pervert, no way? "Perhaps that means the Hawaii I had always wanted to go?" "Huhuhu! Zenan is a really smart person......I know Craft-sama has a swimsuit fetish" "Zenan you are the best! After all you are a perfect maid!" Where ever the doubts go. I even return the palm of the hand and compliment Zenan. No, I thought she was the world''s most smart and best maid ever! "......Well, I was surprised that I had a bad feeling suddenly" "Oh, it''s strange, Me too" "Yeah. I''m suspicious that Zenan will be so kind to me" "What do you say? We share a soul, we''re friend!" "I think I¡äm jealous. I can not read Zenan''s words and actions even with long-standing relationships." What is it, saying something that doubts Zenan''s kindness. A faithful maid, Zenan, can not do anything to impersonate us. "Yeah! Well then, let''s enjoy the vacation at the very end!" The sight seen in the sea becomes reality. Just thinking so doesn''t stop my excitement. Ah, I wonder if such a bonus is waiting for the end of the trip. "Good! we''re going to get ready soon!" I completely dyed my head to the beach of Hawaoai......I ran out to prepare the luggage with my wives. But what should I say? This time I float in the air©¤©¤ I was not really aware of the appearance of the maid who would make a guts pose behind me. Volume 2, Epilogue Volume 2, Epilogue ¡¾Leona''s diary Gauk period May 16¡¿ Waaii, Craft-niisama and his wives came back from their honeymoon! It was only for a few days, uuu......I''m sad. Besides, I was surprised that Nii-sama brought a new girl named Orochi-chan back! Craft-niisama, can he has a child as small as that? Why was it that Nii-sama was pale when he heard that? Orochi-chan, is still asleep now......I wonder when she wakes up if we can be friends. It''s my first time to have a friend of my age, so I''m looking forward to it! ¡¾Leona''s diary Gauk period May 17¡¿ It is serious! Suddenly, the honeymoon extension has begun! It seems that Zenan had arranged the trip......uuh. Certainly, Zenan might have been sloppy since Nii-sama went on a trip. But that''s what it is......uuh, it''s not good to doubt people! This trip also allowed me to accompany them because I had received a forgiveness from Efrika-neesama regarding my physical condition! She did that so that I could go on a trip with Nii-sama! It seems that Zenan will follow too, so the number of people including Orochi-chan is a lot! My father, minister, and knight commander were sad but......ehehee, bad luck! A trip with Nii-sama was a heart wish from me......I have to enjoy it! Leona¡äs POV "Emm, this diary is good around here?" I put the feather pen holding in my hand back to the holder and close the black leather diary. One year ago, I was told by Efrika-oneesama to write this diary daily. At first I had a hard time knowing what to write, but......after Craft-niisama came back, there are so many things I want to write about that I am troubled. Huhuu, I''m glad. "Oya, are you still writing your diary?" After knocking three times, Zenan comes into the room. "Ah, Zenan. If it''s about my diary, I just finished writing it" "Craft-sama and the others have already gone out. Only Leona-sama is remaining in the house" "Eeee! Why didn''t you call me?" "I came to call you once, but you didn''t reply back because you seemed crazy about your diary" "Is that so? I''m sorry Zenan" A few minutes before now. We arrived at the cottage where we stayed for our travel and dropped our luggage in each room. I was happy that I was able to accompany Nii-sama on this trip, that I took out my diary, but it seems that I was left behind because of that. Muu! "I think they¡äre still noisy outside. You can hear their voices, right?" "Ah, it''s true! Hurry, Zenan!" The voices of everyone are leaking out of the cottage slightly. Above all, why do I feel that the voices of Craft-niisama and Meri-neesama are loud? "Let''s go, then. Zenan will turn off the fireplace in the cottage" "Uuh! I have to wear a coat properly" I''m jumping out of the room with my favorite pink coat. When I go around this corridor and pass through the front entrance, the world of white silver spreads all over. Not only the trees, but also the scene where the snow has fallen to the ground is very beautiful. "But now, cold......" I bend in a cold wind that freezes my whole body and I shake my body at once. --------------------------------------------------- Craft POV As it may have been noticed already, this is not the beach of everlasting summer I was seeking©¤©¤ "Why is it Kurinooooosssssss?!" "Hey, it''s a slow shove, Nii-san" "I''m sorry for now......" The frosty eyes of my wives standing next to me also keep my heart frozen. Zugusho......everyone put me down! Why are they wearing thick clothes! "It''s the first time I feel the wind of my hometown in the form of a human......huhuu, it''s a strange feeling" "Shaa...... I''m sorry, but can you hug me?" "The custom-made coat was helpful. Orochi-chan, I''ll hug you more!" "VeVeVeVeVenuuuuuu! Me, MeMe tooooooo!!" Meri trembles in the same way as her teeth are clapping. Of course. she is going to freeze to death, wearing Bunna¡äs national costume. "Ah......don''t bother because Zenan-dono didn''t even give a coat to Meri-dono" "I know the reason somehow. And the reason why Nii-san was framed......but" "Kuu......Meri!" "Ueeeh! Craft-sensei!!" Meri and I warm up ourselves while hugging each other. This must be the only way to survive in this freezing world. "Emm...... why is Nii-sama in light clothes?" "Oh, don''t worry, Leona-dono" "Well! I was late, because I was writing in my diary!" Ah, Leona. Your older brother is no longer...... I will freeze to death as it is. "Puukukupuupuu! Serves you right, Craft-sama" "Damn you, Zenan! How dare you, tricking me! I¡äm not kidding!" Zenan, who appeared from the cottage following Leona, scolds me in a pretty winter jacket. What is with that knit hat and fur coat! Is she a snowboarder! "I''m going to show you Zenan¡äs sliding!" "Hey, did Zenan have snowboarding experience?" "Ha? Do you think there is? This is because this pervert of the flower garden in the brain is a greed demon......" "Th, Thats so......I heard you were a fool" The blue vein on the forehead makes Efrika cool, and she will freeze to death if she is left as it is. That''s why it''s Kurinos! Though I thought that it was for Hawaoai, I didn''t even wear a coat! "It can''t be helped. Hey, Craft-sama, here is a coat and winter clothes" From my bag, Zenan took out a coat, gloves and a scarf. Is this what Venu and Meri created during the bride development training! "I wonder if there is such a thing, I brought it from Craft-sama''s room" "Waa, Zenan! You''re well prepared!" "Wait and me, Zenan! I! Is there nothing for me?" "Tsk......it can''t be helped. I wish you could freeze to death, you milk pig" I''m worried as Zenan¡äs tone of voice is awkward, but she has to give warm clothes obediently. Meri will die if not. She really will die. The cold in Kurinos is terrifying. "But, Zenan-san. Why did we go to Kuinos? I also wanted to go to Hawaoai......" "Sweet, Venusera-samal. How can Zenan let everyone go to the erotic beach where Craft-sama is surrounded by girls in bikinis?" "......Kurinos, banzai! Hey, Orochi-chan?" "Kishyaaa! But after all, it''s too cold" Asking the embraced Orochi, Venu looks happy. No, no, that''s not the problem! "Besides......I knew that Craft-sama wanted to go to Hawaoai. If I choose to go to Hawaoai here, it won''t be my revenge" "Revenge......no way, are you mad that I didn''t take you with on my honeymoon!" """""......Insensitive"""""" At the same time, all of my wives screamed at the same time in response to my objections. eh? Am I the bad one? I think I''m not the bad one at all! "Nii-sama, you¡äre so insensitive to Zenan......I feel sorry" "Don''t look with a prudent look Leona! I''m dying of shock!" I managed to put on a scarf and gloves while enduring that chest pain. Meri also wore a jacket that seemed to be warm enough to withstand the cold. "Oh well, wasn''t it okay to take another country in Rusanas" "That''s fine. We''ll just greet the people of Kurinos as it is!" "It''s a lot of fun saying no......no, it''s fun" This is what I found on my last honeymoon. After all, it''s fun everywhere when it comes to these guys and it''s interesting to see what happens. Boredom, the shadow and the shape disappear. "Hey Zenan, you told me about revenge......but what a pity" No matter where this is, no matter what hardship awaits. As long as the best women are by my side, I am happy. "It''s frustrating, my revenge seems like a failure. But......Zenan will not give up yet" Stepping on the snow we start walking in search of a new destination. "Orochi-chan, let''s compete to the other side!" "Kyshaa!! Lets fight Leona!!" Leona my angel who hasn''t changed......and Orochi who newly joined the family. "Huuhuuhu. Please look forward to this splendid sliding of Zenan" Even Zenan tries to meet my wishes more than anyone else. "Hey Craft-dono! If you run, it won''t be cold!" Princess Samurai Musashi who has a stronger will than anyone else. "Heeheeh! I will be the first!" Brighter and dazzling than anyone else, the cheerful Meri. "Nuu, sly Meri! Thinking you can beat me!" My partner Kaitos, who is more dedicated than anyone else. "Mou, can''t you be a little bit more graceful?" Venu, a princess who is kinder and sweeter than anyone else. "Oh Nii-san. We¡äre going to leave you behind in such a place" Even my mirror, Efrika, will entertain me more than anyone else. "Haa, leaving me behind? Such sleeping words can be said, Efrika" All together, it is my precious family. That''s why I''m not going to talk about it. "Everyone, dont leave me alone!" I start running. I don''t know what the future will be, and it is nice to think about it......but there is only one thing that I can understand. "Let''s go find some interesting things!" Surely we are enjoying something interesting from the bottom of our minds at any time. It has always been and will always been so forever. Volume 2, Afterwords Volume 2, Afterwords It has been a long time. It is me, Takato Aisaka. Thank you very much for reading "Honeymoon of Dora Prince" this time. Perhaps, some of you might have bought this product by mistaking it for the first book in the series, so I will say it. If you haven''t read the previous volume yet, please read the volume together. Volume 1, "Harem of the Dora Prince Dora" is now on sale! We have various items such as ordering at bookstores, ordering via mail order, electronic books and so on! Eh? If you''re reading a book now, you know who to choose, so boring? Ah, emm......there is no problem. It''s okay to enjoy the episode zero!......Well then! I''m sorry that the advertising part has become long! No parables. How were the new characters who appeared in this work? I think that probably Mars-sama, who is a elder of an magic country and half-naked magician, admired your heart. Hmmm, it is also difficult to throw away the lonesome warrior. Next, Prinella. She had been a suggestion from the previous volume. Tsundere ratio of this princess is exactly the same as Venu and it was a character that I had fun to write. I think that it is likely to do an interesting move if she is together with the red-riding hood and lovely girl Nois. Nois is planning to dye Baretoria red, so she would like to work together with Prinella at that time. Then, it is Orochi who served as a mascot and the last boss of this novel. I wanted to write a girl who gave birth to raw shit......its only a joke, but I think that she has become the key to greatly move the marriage life of Craft and his wives. It was supposed to be the first time that a child could be a little demon girl that appeared suddenly between the couple. From now on, what kind of waver will Orochi pull on Craft? Also, how will Craft grow and how will they face Orochi? We look forward to their future development! And finally, a word of gratitude to the people who took care of mr. Thanks to my illustrator for your willingness to accept these many characters and creating a lot of moe illustrations. Then my editor in charge who always support me, I''m too dependable of you. And everyone who bought this book. Thank you so much! Because I will continue to devote myself in the future, my best regards! Aisaka Takato Bonus Bonus chapter Leona¡äs POV I kept on gazing at the lush sky outside the window and with occasionally leaking a sigh......I closed my diary on my desk. How many troubles are it now? I, Leona am now......I''m mired in a slump. "Muu......I have nothing to write about" That''s only natural. Yesterday, after Nii-sama and Onee-samas went out on their honeymoon trip, Dora castle calmed down as if it had hit the water and only boring time was flowing. When Nii-sama went out on a trip before, Efrika-oneesama was by my side, but now that Efrika-oneesama is away on her honeymoon. Well, I''m lonely. "Who will be my playmate......uh, I can only think about Zenan" For me who tend to withdraw to the castle because of ill health, Zenan is one of the few playmates I have. As soon as everyone went out on their honeymoon trip, Zenan seemed to have lost her energy somewhere. I have to talk in various ways and cheer up Zenan! So I decided to stand up in a hurry, leave my room and go out searching for Zenan. First of all, I go Zenan¡äs room. "Hey hey, Zenan! Are you in the room?" I went to the corner of the corridor and stood in front of Zenan''s room. I immediately knock on the door and try to call her......but there is no reply. Is she absent? "Huuuu......after all she is working" I had no choice but to give up and return to my room and when I turned around......at that time. Whether it''s a wind mischief or a bad stand, the door of Zenan''s room opens. "What? Zenan, are you there?" I thought I shall go into Zenan¡äs room. The interior of the room I visited for the first time in a long time seems to be very simple like Zenan, and there is nothing more than a closet other than a bed and a desk. It would be cute if she put stuffed animals inside. "But after all she isn''t here......hmm? That is......" In a room where the killing intention is extremely difficult, there is a striking presence. A casual notebook is placed on the desk......but the problem is the letters on the cover. "Zenan¡äs throbbing Craft-sama¡äs ensnaring diary, love and hate compilation?" I felt that my heart beats faster. There is no doubt that this is Zenan''s diary. "Gulp. That¡äs Zenan''s diary......" My hands were naturally stretching out to the desk. There was such a thing before, too. Certainly at that time I sneaked into my brother''s room and put on his underwear....... "A, Ah......no, not good......" When I sat down on a chair, I started turning pages of the diary. I tried to close my eyes, but my body no longer works with my own intentions. Sorry Zenan......but I couldn''t withstand it. ¡¾Gauk period March 9¡¿ It has been nearly a year since Craft-sama has left the house for a journey. That insensitive virgin prince didn''t come back today either. It''s almost time for Craft-sama¡äs stockpiled underwear, to be exhausted. He will die seriously if this disappears. Ah......Craft-sama, Zenan thinks so much about you. "Huhuu......it''s something she cares about, but it may be like Zenan" When I read the properly opened page, I need to giggle and laugh. From this moment on, my guilt began to fade little by little. ¡¾Gauk period March 10¡¿ Even today, when I got up in the morning, my futon was wet again. What the heck? Is it the work of a ghost? A ghost that wets the area around the crotch. For the time being, I quietly dried my futon so that nobody could see it. Every night I can''t sleep well as I think of Craft-sama. Ah......Craft-sama, please come back soon. "Hee......that Zenan was peeing, pupuu" Don''t laugh, not good......ahahaa. No matter how much you miss Nii-sama, bedwetting is no good. I haven''t bedwetting since I was seven years old. The elder brother also used to pat my head. Well, it''s one of my prides. "Zenan is also a surprisingly sad person. Ah, but this date is coming soon......" ¡¾Gauk period March 11¡¿ Welcome back, Craft-sama. "Yeah! It''s the day Nii-sama came back!" So. I still have an impression of......that day. When I had lunch in the courtyard, Nii-sama suddenly appeared©¤©¤ "I unintentionally hugged him. Nii-sama......smelled good" I like the flower smell of Efrika-oneesama, but I love the smell of Nii-sama more. I feel calm just sniffing that and my mind rests. Everything is the best! "That''s not good. I was just getting lost" Occasionally I remember Nii-sama and my face and heart become so hot. Kind smile. A sad expression that I sometimes show. Even a little bit of stupidity......just wondering, why is my heart soaring so much? "Uuu......one by one! I''m going to skip until the day when the bride training department began" ¡¾Gauk period April 12¡¿ I was not waiting for him today, it was the first day of the bride training department. This Zenan, who is the first to understand Craft-sama, was actually hiding and seeing the bride candidates.......that Musashi absolutely hides a busty chest. Kaitos is a traitor and I¡äm deathly serious. That pervert stalker masochist filthy woman will die without being surprised after suffering. That monster cow is rotten and needs to die. Because she has enough fat, I will take a bit for myself. And Venusera-san, Zenan cheers for you more than anyone else! Those elegant, beautiful breasts......whichever, she is a person who is suitable for Craft-sama. ¡¾Gauk period May 5¡¿ I also cant make it. Zenan''s fool! Coward! I don''t know anymore! Craft-sama will never confess to Zenan again. Why did I do that......Zenan is a idiot! Cabbage! But that''s fine. Anyway Zenan is just a too cute maid. Even if we cant be tied, if I can be on Craft-sama¡äs side....... ¡¾Gauk period May 13¡¿ Not knowing people''s feelings, that innocuous virgin prince goes on honeymoon with everyone. No way, I cant forgive this, Zenan, who is a travel proposer. Zenan just wanted to have a good time with Craft-sama, even for only a few moments......well, well, I used to leave this prix-made Zenan! Deep love turned into a flame of hatred from this time. Good time! Craft-sama......! I will remember your sin of betraying this Zenan''s love. When you come back from your honeymoon, Zenan''s revenge is opening its curtain. "Zenan......after all, Nii-sama and the others" How long has it been since I hid and kept reading Zenan''s diary? Having finished reading until yesterday''s date, I closed the diary in a slightly complicated mood. Although I was thinly aware, after all, Zenan loves Nii-sama. "Uu, Zenan is pitiable......" From now on......Zenan keeps watching over Nii-sama¡äs marriage life in the immediate vicinity of him. That''s absolutely painful......but she is not going to interfere, so what will she do. "And, revenge......?" I am also concerned about the last content written in the diary. If it''s Zenan, it''s good to let the feelings get in the way and don''t get unreasonable....... "Zenan, what are you going to do?" "Do you want to know?" "Yeah. I''m very......hyaaaa!!" With a voice from behind, I fell from the chair unintentionally. Hawaaa! Zenan! I''m exposed! "It is not a good manner to peep into someone''s diary, Leona-sama" Zenan stands behind me when she closed the diary on the desk and put it in the drawer of the desk. Awa, Awawawawaa! What should I do! "ImImIm, I''m sorry! If I am,......!" "Well I don''t care. If it''s Leona-sama, it''s not a problem if you look at it separately" "Hue? Really? I think it''s a very troubled content......?" I was relieved to feel relieved that Zenan wasn''t angry at this. "Thank you Zenan! I love that kind of friendly Zenan!" The moment I tried to extend my arms, trying to say thank you by holding on to Zenan who forgives me...... "......But promise me only one" "Eh......? Ye, yeah! What is it?" "The matter of the diary......keep it a secret from Craft-sama" At the same time as Zenan finished, something cold touched my shoulder. "Ha, hee? This......?" Something silver that reflects light. The sharp tip comes close to my eyes. This is......a knife......right? "Hyauuuu!" "......I believe that Leona is a wise person" "Uhh! I won''t tell anyone! I won''t tell it! I won''t tell it......" "Thank you very much. The honor of Zenan has been protected" Zenan pulled my hand gently, lowering her knife. Is she joking now? Or serious. "He, hey, Zenan. Uu......wait" "Oya, suddenly bashful......something wrong?" "Aemm, that......muuuuuuu" I whisper while grasping the hem of Zenan¡äs skirt and endure the feel of the crotch which feels burning hot. "Higuuu......now......wait, something came out" "Wow" It will be difficult if you read someone else''s diary without permission. And after I saw the diary in Zenan''s room......a few minutes later. "He, hey, Zenan......? What is this?" Before changing my wet dress, I took a bath. It was good until my sunken feeling and dirty body were refreshed by bathing...... "What do you mean, it''s just a change of clothes?" "It''s not a change of clothes! It''s a swimsuit!" What Zenan prepared for me after taking a bath wasn''t a usual dress but a black swimsuit. It is also a very wet swimsuit with a very small area of cloth. "Uu, this is......" "I mean, you¡äre changing clothes, you¡äre Craft-sama¡äs little sister" "After all, I''d rather wear this swimsuit than be naked......" Since I cant swim in the first place, I have never been to the sea or the river. So it is the first time to wear a bathing suit, but it''s also the first experience with this bathing suit! "Well Well. This is a story from Kaitos, which I heard yesterday" "Eh? From Kaitos-oneechan?" "Yes. Anyway, Craft-sama loves girls who wear a bikini more than three times" Bikini girls! That rumor that there are plenty on the beach of Hawaoai......? "Even so, those too dark brown gals that are tanned by the sun......guhehehee. In that case" "Hauau......black gal......" Certainly, Nii-sama is staring at Meri-oneesama with awkward eyes. Is he attracted to Meri-oneesama¡äs brown skin? "I think that it would be helpful to take that lustful lady that is playing innoncence as reference, so how about trying to be like that too Leona?" "Effort is......eeeeeee?" "Alright. I know that Leona is thinking of Craft-sama" "Th, that''s......! I, particularly, like Nii-sama and the others like that......!" Is it really so? I was delighted that Nii-sama was married to Efrika-oneesama. However, I feel envious somewhere in my heart......uuh, I may have been somewhat envious. Even me, I have always loved Craft-niisama. It is surely......not as a brother and a sister, but as a girl. "Zenan is the same. When you read my diary, do you understand the feeling of this Zenan?" "......Yes, Yes, I see. I also realized this feeling while reading Zenan''s diary" The feelings that I have for Nii-sama isnt inferior to my elder sisters. "Damn, if we¡äre not siblings, I wanted to be Nii-sama''s wife......!" "......What do I need to give up? I wont let you snatch him away" "Eh?" Zenan, what did you say......just now? "Now is the time when an angel smiles. That angel is Leona-sama" "U, I''m going to take Nii-sama away......I, I''m not good!" "So how about joining the group? Is it no problem if the number of wives increases from five to six?" "Is, is that right? Well, six people are no problem!" "Yeah, there are no problems with six or seven wives" "No! Yes! No matter how many, Craft-niisama will be fine with it!" Gradually loaded on Zenan, I gradually increased my tension. "I''m looking forward to it. On top of that, this Zenan will also cooperate" That said, Zenan puts her hand on the sleeves of her maid''s clothes. And pulled it off at once......Zenan threw away her maid''s clothes. "Hyawaaa! Ze, Zenan too......a bikini?" "Huuhuuhuuhu. There is no reason for this Zenan to make one person feel painful" Zenan was also wearing an bikini under the maid''s clothes, not the same as me. Seeing that someone else wears it again, it looks like this©¤©¤is not shameless. "Leona-sama. We still have time to come back. By then, if we become perfect swimsuit gals......" "Ah, Nii-sama may become madly in love with us!" At this time, I seemed to be unable to make a normal judgment with shame and my feelings for my Nii-sama. "Now, let''s do a sunbathing time in the courtyard. If we become tanned erotic girls, you and I will become super cute girls in Craft-sama¡äs eyes" "Yeah! Zenan is a genius!" "Please praise me more. Please praise me more. Please praise me again and again!" Intriguingly, I travel to the courtyard with Zenan. Along the way, other maids and ministers were surprised at our appearances but I was no longer embarrasse. I want Nii-sama to be delighted......but that one heart moved me honestly. Please wait, Craft-niisama! "I......I''m sure I will be a good black gal!" Solid determination. Will my hard work be delivered to Nii-sama? -------------------------------------------------------- "Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! My Leoonnnaaaaa!!" From the conclusion, it worked. As soon as Nii-sama got home from his honeymoon, he faints by seeing us in our swimsuits. Nii-sama who was carrying a large cloth bag, fell flatly with white eyes. "Huuuh! Zenan you idiot! I was hated by Nii-sama!" "Emm Craft-sama......this ephemeral little bit of it is impossible to communicate!" "Bukubukubukubukubukubukuu......Leona, my angel......" "Don''t do it. If you think that a serious trip has taken a break......this is something" Efrika-oneesama leaks a sigh with a glance at Craft-niisama who keeps blowing bubbles. The other sisters lined up behind him looked stunned and stared at my sunburned skin. "I have many things I want to say......first of all, it''s better to have the sunburned skin fixed" "Efrika-oneesamaaaa......help meeeeee!" "Tsk. I cant help you. Let me fix it if I say it there." "Haa...... why does Zenan looks so proud?" After that, I and Zenan''s body were restored to its former look immediately by Efrika-oneesama¡äs magic. This memory is in the dark. Yes, I decided that everything was a nightmare.
