35 – A nasty big snowball launched by an NPC. (7)
“Ragni, what are you saying now…”
“Huh? Did I say it was difficult? I didn’t make any money?”
“……”
The inn where I returned, carrying Rei covered in dirt like a piece of luggage.
There, Ragni was sitting leisurely eating snacks and skewers with Ira.
There’s a teapot standing next to me that looks expensive and I don’t know where it came from. Doesn’t that make her look like a really well-off girl?
Oh, no. Are you a princess?
When I give Gor a look that bewilders me and demands the truth.
[I came in two days ago after meeting a few people. After that, Ira and I continued walking around, buying food, and walking around.]
“Ha. That’s right, Gor. Were there any problems?”
“Huh? Problem? Well, there were a few men who asked me to work, but our excellent golem maid took care of everything.”
“Yes! Gorga da Booung! Booung! I did it!”
…It seems that Gorr’s hand has cleaned up the pitiful flying insects that have fallen in love with the princess’ appearance.
Eh, asking why she didn’t earn money from someone who has lived here as a prominent princess is really petty.
It hurts a little to think that we were the only ones who had a hard time, but it seemed like they were having fun, so let’s watch it this time.
[I judged that Ira-sama was not good for her emotions, but was it a mistake?]
“Huh? Maybe…”
I asked if Gor misunderstood because I frowned. what?
“Oh, did you tell me that Gorga flirted with Ira too?”
“…what?”
what a crazy bastard Give me your name, address, impression, wait, I’ll go out and come back.
“Don’t get excited. It’s just because Ira and I are, it’s just a common kidnapper waving candy and asking me to follow you because I’m cute.”
“Choose a guide, where are those bastards…”
“I handed it over to the guards, so calm down.”
As I grabbed Gor and tried to go outside, Ragni shook his head saying it was no big deal.
Damn, I should have twisted all my palms…
[All shrugged. Even after recovery, I adjusted the arm so that it does not rise above the shoulder again.]
“Nice. Good job.”
“…It was a bit scary to see Gorga beating people. And eyes tight? What the hell is that?”
“Keep an eye!”
“Yes, this. Gorr covered his eyes with his fingers, so Ira said it right away, but I got scolded for not taking it down forever.”
“You must have caught it!!”
“Yes. Got it, now.”
“Caught!!”
Our slave princess looked at me with a bitter smile at Ira’s cute appearance, and I shrugged.
why, you’re cute

“Really, I never get tired of being with you guys.”
“There’s no way you’ll get tired of Ira’s cuteness, right?”
“Well, I’ll admit that.”
“Ehehehehe!”
“Ugh… Jack… uh, drop me down…”
“Oh, what is it? Was Ray alive?”
huh? what? Did you think Ray was dead? But why is the response so plain?
He was completely stretched out and passed out on my shoulder.
Well, there’s really no way to know if she fainted from motion sickness or from exhaustion because she carried it like luggage, but it’s her own fault.
“Sah, don’t kill people. They’re still alive.”
“Since my colleague was covered in dirt and carried like a piece of luggage, I thought they were collecting the body to commemorate him.”
“……”
At Ragni’s words, Ray sits down on the floor and pouts, and Ira laughs heartily as she looks at Ray’s messy face.
Uh-huh, Jiji. Don’t touch it.
“…G-Jiji…”
“No one will want to have a child near you if they see what you are like.”
“You look pretty good, but you’re cleaner than Ray. What kind of hunting did you do?”
“Dungeon. I found an unexplored dungeon in the mountains and cleared it.”
“…What? Are there still unexplored dungeons in the empire?”
“Yes. There was. I found it and cleared it right away. I think I made about 150,000 cans, hey. Ray.”
“yes.”
“You won.”
“swimming?”
“Didn’t you hear that?”
Maybe I didn’t hear what she said when she was on my shoulder, so she made a circle in the wall and looked at Ragni.
And Ragni shrugged and replied.
“Yeah. I didn’t make a penny. You win.”
“Uh, eh? Eh?! Why, why?!”
“Why, I don’t have the ability to make 100,000 units like you in two days. How can I do that? I wonder if there is a casino nearby.”
After saying that, Ragni immediately stood up with a cookie on the table and approached Ray.
and.
“Wait, do you want to wash up?”
“Huh? Me?”
“Yes, Jack. You.”
“…Well, yes. Let’s go wash up.”
“huh!”
Gor grabbed and stopped Ira from trying to hug me, who was dirty, and I came out of the inn.
Well, the two women must have something to say. I don’t know what the meaning of this fight was, but I’m sure the two of them will have something to talk about.
Fortunately, Ira and I went straight to the public bath as the accident went crazy.
*
“Ahh.”
“……”
“Ahh.”
– Wow.
“Does it look difficult?”
Ragni, who brought the snacks to Ray’s mouth and fed them, followed the tea that was in his seat and brought it in front of Ray.
“…why didn’t you earn it?”
“Because there is no reason to earn?”
“…will be helpful in the future…”
“I got it right because you wanted it.”
“……”
“So, did you and Jack enjoy your date?”
“De, det?!”
“Hey, what are you hiding? You came back to town last night, right?”
“Ha, ha! How can that be done?!!”
“How did you have a good night?”
“Joe, good night!! What the hell are you talking about?!”
At Ragni’s words, Ray reminisced about last night and dyed his face red. however.
“…Hmm, that reaction. Wasn’t it really a big deal?”
“…I guess there was something special.”
“What I said didn’t happen.”
“What, what…”
“You didn’t have s*x.”
“Cool?!”
When Ray, who drank the tea Ragni gave him and spat it out, stared at him in dismay, she opened her mouth with her red eyes shining.
“You get a new girl, and you get on well as if you’re better than yourself. You did this out of jealousy, right?”
“That, that’s…!!”
“Ehh. Rather, someone should be jealous.”
“to?”
“It’s fun. For now, I gave you a chance as you wished. And, you’d think you did the victory, but look at tomorrow. After that, what do you want from me?”
“…What are you talking about? You said you didn’t make money…”
“It’s okay. Now go, go and wash up quickly. You really look like a beggar right now.”
“……”
As Ragni said while waving his hands, he sat down at the table as if he had nothing more to say and started using Ira’s teacup.
And Ray felt that he wouldn’t say anything more than that, so he got up and tried to leave the room.
“…Ragni.”
“……”
“I won’t lose.”
“…I guess.”
Ray, who said with his back turned, opened the door and left, and Ragni reached for the sweets.
– Wow!!
I bit it nervously.
“… Ha. I’m at a disadvantage in the first place, what are you saying?”
If you don’t even have the proof that you belong to that man wrapped around your neck, you have no reason to be with this group.
Even the reason for wearing this is the sympathy of the man, not his own doctor.
That’s why Jack obviously releases this the moment he thinks I’m safe.
Ragni already knew everything up to that point, so he did his best to become friends with the group as much as possible.
And because of that, he gave Ray a chance first. but.
‘In the first place, I have no answer other than waiting for my turn? If I slept in the same room, I should have attacked her by force.’
If you want to quickly turn around, you have to pretend to help someone else seize the opportunity first. The calculations were in her head.
‘Anyway, someday… it’s obvious that I will become the biggest burden in this group and be abandoned.’
Jack may be thinking of leaving the country with him, but is it really his father? Would the emperor of the empire leave him like this? Even if you go abroad, you will definitely cause problems.
“Ugh. It’s my friend.”
Ragni sighed sincerely and tilted his teacup.

“…What? Did you miss that monster? Who on earth got in your way?”
“I apologize, Your Majesty.”
“Ha. I was trying to have a child quickly so I could become the next king quickly, but what the heck…”
Ragni Blue Moon Ottoman. The Emperor of the Empire, who called his only daughter a monster, twisted his expression in irritation.
If that vicious thing had already made its own person outside, it would surely be ready to put a knife to its own throat.
Even according to the stories of the returning assassins, the monster roughly predicted the assassins they sent and their personal circumstances.
Truly, it is frightening to think that something like that was born out of love between him and a rain that is no longer there.
“Your Majesty, we have already organized a tracking party.
“…what does that mean?”
The subject who spoke directly to the emperor continued the story.
The man certainly saved the princess, but he did not kill any of the assassins and tied them up.
And even though he fell down, there was one person who came to his senses on the way, and he heard the story to some extent.
From noble mtl dot com
The story goes that a traveler who was passing by came to help a fallen carriage and ended up fighting the assassins.
“…I see. Well, yes. Well, that’s now…”
“He’s probably coaxing that passerby to join him. In the future, we can send someone from here to talk to him and take action to get guidance. If you threaten him appropriately and give him money, his meager sense of justice will come to an end.”
“…Yeah. That’s good. It wasn’t nice to have helped them, but the person who tried to help others wasn’t a bad person. Let them think that they were caught up in a natural disaster, and finish the story appropriately.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I will follow your orders.”
The emperor had no hesitation in taking the princess back. He immediately starts looking at other government affairs.
“So, has there been a request for support from Ponia?”
“That’s it, that’s…”
“hmm?”
Contrary to what the princess had said, the emperor was thinking of sending reinforcements to Ponia.
No matter how much it is said that expanding the land in one’s generation is in the national interest and an achievement, the people of other countries who are dying are also people. That’s what I thought.
And anyway, if they help in getting the land back, Ponia will have no choice but to compensate them accordingly.
That’s what he thought, but what the emperor heard was that Ponia had overcome the monster parade, pushed back the front line, and recovered the territory.
It was the moment when the princess’s predictions, which had always been horribly accurate, completely collapsed.
