244 In The Coastal City Of Strom.

Time passes quickly.

This is something that I have felt particularly remarkable since I travelled to Ishtarika.

If I may add further, it doesn't seem very early here these days.

- The season has just come autumn.

If it was a regular year, it would have been a season for official business to see a paragraph, but Ain't this year.

Still, the summer heat remains, and if you look at the sky, the blue sky continues everywhere.

The gentle-blowing wind feels just a little cooler, only in the morning and evening, today I feel that much cooler.

"... big"

Today on the first day of the move.

From the gap in his empty mouth, like a fright. Now Ain leaks a surprised voice.

Standing in front of you is a mansion bigger than you can imagine.

As always, the hierarchy is overflowing with Ishtarika-like looks that favor pure white… if you count, there is also the twelfth floor.

The garden is planted with many flowers and trees, even a large fountain.

The gatekeepers are made much thicker and the outer walls are higher than normal noble mansions.

Soon, I was surprised, naturally, that the Kingsguard was guarding in front of the gate.

"There's no Augusto Grand Duke now - twice as likely"

"It's triple. And not without it now, but Ain't the one who broke it, right?

"... Yes"

Woman standing next door - pointed out by Krone, Ain shaking her neck vertically.

She has to work today. Oh, she wears a long-sleeved sweater that covers her neck and a knee-length skirt. Personal clothes, so to speak.

It was full of charm that made me want to hug you, but I can't do that here.

... Nevertheless, triple it. Surprise.

"You know, even so... isn't it too nicely built?

"Dear Ein. Dear Ein, I call it too splendid, but your majesty is staying with us, right? Besides, there will be parties hosted by Ein. So, I guess this is natural, right?

And, there, Chris opens his mouth from the other side of Krone.

On the other hand, she was still dressed in pure white knight clothing, and her hair like gold thread colored it.

Ein nodded so much that he tried to show understanding to a mansion this big.

"No, no, no. Still, it's too big."

"But you're packing all our workplaces, right? There were plenty of libraries and offices in the castle, weren't there? I wonder if there was a wasted room."

"... you don't."

"Right? This mansion will not only be Ain's mansion, but it will also be an important hub for the economy of the coastal city of Strom. So I can't help but get bigger."

So to speak, I won't even say that it is for the combined use of the bureau…, but it is true that important information gathers.

If you put it this way, then so does Ain.

"His Majesty will be here soon, so that day will be the first party hosted by Ein."

"K, Chris? What do you mean..."

"Whatever......, the fact that His Majesty is here means that some of us are Lord Lloyd and Warren. It's official business, so don't do anything. It's not like we're staying here.

Looks like we're on duty, we're gonna have a lot of work to do.

Even so, I haven't even set foot in the mansion yet.

... In the meantime, it's also bad on the outside that they're pinching each other next to each other and standing on a bar.

"There are reports about Ein's assignment, but the assignment ceremony as a public event has not yet been carried out. I was wondering if those events would probably take place in this mansion as well."

Speaking of which, yes. Ain reminds me.

No major official duties have yet been carried out as Ein makes his way to Strom.

From where Ain't actually going to live... was Warren's plan.

Either way, royalty will gather together and such events will be carried out to a great extent.

"- I have to think about it. Grab it, but for now, shall we go inside?

? ? ?

"Is this my room?"

Ain't got no trouble getting in and out. Ain't got a room in the middle of the top floor.

He joined Olivia, who had entered the mansion earlier, and was led by Olivia, who took her to her room.

"Yep. That's right. Maybe double the size of the room?

"Looks like it."

There are partitions between them by walls, so-called, living spaces.

The atmosphere is not very different from Ein's room in the castle, but the room has grown in size, increasing the sense of emancipation.

A large sofa is arranged in the middle of the room in pairs, and many people are likely to be able to sit back.

Behind, a larger desk was placed, bookshelves for materials were placed along the walls, and many books were already packed.

And it looks like a terrace seat is also provided, and a large glass door to get out catches my eye.

"I think that desk is for work in the room. Downstairs, there was Ain's office."

"You mean for a little work? It's a fine desk and shelf."

"If you're going to be more efficient in your official duties, that's what you need to do."

"... right"

Ain't still worried about funding when he says he's Prince Wang.

Olivia tells me this is something I need, and I agree with her as a result.

"Oh. It's like a bedroom in the back."

Olivia walks forward with pleasure and encourages Ain.

Beds are placed behind walled spaces to be used by Ain.

Yes. It's a bed.

"Oh, isn't it too big... this"

I was surprised when I saw the mansion, but I didn't expect to be surprised when I looked at the bed.

The beds in the bedroom were even bigger than those placed in the luxury inn.

How many times will I be able to go back to sleep?

A number of cushions are placed on the pillow, polished for luxury.

Couple - no, even if it was used by a family with two children, they still felt the breadth to spare.

"Hehe. If you miss sleeping alone, you can call Mr. Krone, right?

"Oh, Mother!?

"Or... Chris is fine, and even me, I'll sleep with Ain at any time, right?

(Mother too... Hmm)

Hmm. It's not, but I feel smiling when I think about my childhood sleeping with Olivia.

Speaking of which, there were times like that... and I loved the memories.

But when I think about Chris, who was given permission by a third party, I get a bitter laugh.

Ain't thinking about this as she looks at Olivia pushing her finger against her glossy lips.

"Appearance, character, emotion... and, bloodline. Problem is, it's a tricky place."

"Mother? Did you say anything?

"... yeah. It's nothing, is it?

Olivia's words reach the ears of Ain, immersed in memories, intermittently.

However, Olivia separated the conversation from Olivia because it was not a big deal.

Ain then basically advances his legs and sits down on the bed.

"Oh, it's like a bed in a castle, isn't it?"

After weighing in a few times to see how I feel, I notice that it feels the same as the bed in the castle.

For Ain, who preferred solidification, it was an exquisite feeling.

"I think you're asking the same craftsman. I'm sure Mr. Krone cared."

"He's a workable aide, and he's always been helped."

"Right. Mr. Krone is such a lovely girl."

That's what Olivia says, sitting next to Ain.

The scent, sweet as ecstasy, smells fluffy from her hair.

"What... oh, that?

Then suddenly... something happens that Olivia didn't expect as well as Ain.

Little by little, the roots of the trees emerged from behind Ain's feet.

"Ein? What's wrong with rooting suddenly... of..."

Olivia asks Ain with a smile. But that Olivia, too, quickly changed her attitude.

Because even from her feet the roots of the trees appeared and intertwined with the roots of Ain's tree.

He blinks repeatedly and is blinded by the roots of a tree that has spread at his feet.

"Oh, uh... Ein? If you want to be sweet to me, you don't have to go around like this."

"Chi - no! Hey, no, I don't hate to sweeten your mother, but I don't even know why the roots came out..."

Deny Olivia's mistakes with care.

How did the roots of the trees come out? Ain't got no idea.

By the way, Olivia is equally unconscious, but she herself doesn't seem to care much.

While doing this, the roots of the two trees continued to interact to become one.

"Oh... I'm sorry, Ein. That... absorbs a little..."

"Kyu, absorb......!? Why, no..."

They say he's absorbing, and Ain stands up abruptly.

Then he pulled out the sword he was carrying on his hips and hurriedly cut off the roots that were out of him.

"Mother! Are you okay......!?

When she noticed, Olivia's breathing was rough and her face was dyed red.

At the neck I sweated a thin rash, twitching and passing heat.

Ain't put her hand on Olivia's shoulder and she hurries to put her to bed.

"Oh, yeah... It's okay...... is it...?

Even so, Olivia's figure, which suppresses her breasts, strongly stirs Ain's anxiety.

Removing the handkerchief from his nose, he wiped the sweat off Olivia's neck.

It was a caress with worry and two caresses of consideration.

"Huh..."

But did Olivia feel a tickle in Ein's hand, twirling her body with a weak grin?

Nature and breathing are glowing, and Ain't hands are changing so fast.

If you look at the red-stained neck muscles, Ain's eyes will be lightly enchanted.

This is all because of Olivia, who called her mother how much she admired her, in addition to the way she was born: stock-sharing, a previous life she barely remembers.

"I can't believe it's absorbed by the world tree... should I be happy as a dry adder?

"Don't say anything stupid - I'll hurry up and get Mr. Martha. Do you mind?

"Yep... right. I scratched a little sweat, so I'll get dressed. Can I rent Ain's room for a little while?

"Of course it is. I don't care if you're resting like this."

Thus Ain hastened to Martha's feet.

... but I don't know where she's holding back. So Ein decides to go out in the hallway and then try calling Martha's name.

Then, like the castle, he appeared from nowhere, and Martha hurried to Olivia's care.

"- I wonder what it was. Earlier."

On the other hand, in the bed after Ain left, Olivia pressed her hand against the rich chest, bewildered by rising palpitations.

Her condition never seems spicy, rather, she doesn't indulge in such thoughts as if she filled her body with a special fullness.

Ein thought as Olivia had suffered, but in fact,

"World Tree...... for dry ads, you're really demonic"

And Ein's thoughts are off.

Ein probably thought about it like he did earlier because Olivia was desperately suppressing her body.

Because she felt trembling hard to contain by the sweet stimuli running through her body, and had perished from the spiciness of containing it.

Olivia leaked a luscious exhale when she described the world tree as satanic.

? ? ?

"Dear Olivia, are you okay?"

"... I think it's okay. When I was wiping my sweat, I knew I had strength in my body."

"Really...... I hope so."

Tens of minutes after there was the root incident.

Ein had left the mansion with Chris and was advancing his legs for what he called his use.

What a ridiculous story that Prince Wang is going to use, but this is what Ein wanted himself to do.

"Somehow, Mother, I know it's him. Because it's the same dry ad, or am I your mother's split? Maybe it's because it's like"

"If you ask me, Ain't it strange to have that understanding, because Ain't was born with stock sharing. If it's okay to point out a mistake, it's not dry adds, it's a world tree."

"Well, it's acquired."

Answer Chris' point with half a laugh and scratch his head.

"By the way, Lord Marco recognized you very well. I'm the only one with Ain..."

"Maybe, but not because it's a distance you can grasp the situation?

"... and you say?

"Back in the day, the old demon kingdom...... not in the old king's capital, Marco was alone in providing protection. At that time, Marco knew who he was dealing with when he approached him somewhat. So, we're on our way... uh, I thought if it was as far away as the Adventurer Alliance, it wouldn't be a problem."

Anyway, a man named Marco, when Ain took a trip to the old king's capital.

He hunted a monster named the Yatsume Rabbit lightly and turned to Ain for his dedication.

Even where there is distance, it is remembered that it made Lloyd feel aura as its mighty man.

"It's a different story, but what, Master Ain't you going to have to take a trip yourself?

"Looks like the Adventurers Guild guys were planning on showing me their faces tomorrow. But I'm free, too, and I think the Adventurer Alliance inspection is just fine."

"I see...... Oh, Mr. Krone, were you meeting with a commercial guild at the mansion?

"Yeah. That said, the guy who came to the mansion seems to be from the Augusto Chamber of Commerce,"

This is how they enjoy the conversation and walk through the streets of the coastal city of Strom.

Even when it comes to cities in the growth phase, there is already an area inhabited by the wealthy known as the aristocratic district, where, naturally, Ain's mansion is set up.

Walking through the aristocratic city for about a dozen minutes, the two had set foot on a busy boulevard.

Looking across the streets, I was able to immerse myself in a different atmosphere than any city I've ever been in.

The time is evening. It was recently that the sun set faster in autumn, but I feel that the sunset is slightly slower than in the Wang capital.

The wind rides with the incense of tide and Chris fingers the tip of his hair in a shabby manner.

"Gi... I wonder if I'll squirt..."

The sea breeze is bad for hair. That's a good story.

If I may add, it hurts to be given strong sunshine to weakened hair by the sea breeze.

"Nothing. Aren't you okay?

"Oh, uh... I heard you, didn't I?

Chris himself would have spoken small and with the intention of talking to himself, but he can afford to reach Ain, who has five senses of excellence.

Asked to speak to himself about his appearance, Chris leans down small and blushes his cheeks.

"... no, no"

"Uh, hey. What are you doing all of a sudden?"

I thought I leaned over, and Chris reached out to poke Ain.

But Ain flushed that hand so he could breathe.

"Mm-hmm... aren't you ashamed...!

"... how unreasonable"

Instead, he was next door, so Chris himself should care.

Oh, my God, Ain't got a single cut.

I know the hidden things, so I laugh bitterly and cloud my tea.

I'm just glad that Chris treats me like this with a vegan attitude, and Ein smiles gently inside.

As a matter of fact, if you think Chris is in a position to escort you, these attitudes may not be good. But...

(... In the end, I haven't made it public, but Chris is royal, too)

Ein thinks Chris's lineage. Now it's confidential information only for royalty and some.

Instead, if we speak of the intensity of blood, it draws more blood than modern royalty.

I mean, I didn't have a position or anything. When I say Prince Wang, his position is higher, but he doesn't change into the same royalty.

"Dear Ein? Are you thinking something weird?

"... it's nothing. Her Royal Highness Princess Christina."

"Huh...! I told you to stop because I'm embarrassed!

Even if they say it's embarrassing, they can't have had this fact.

Ain't just calling it payback for his knife. When he messes with Chris, he shows his white teeth in a satisfactory way.

"Mmmm..."

"Don't be obstinate.... Ah, look. I see the Adventurer Alliance building. - Is that it? There's a crowd out there."

Side by side Chris, who has been obstinate, realizes Ein has come to see the Adventurer Alliance.

The building is big there. It was a four-story building full of heavy wood and full of natural flavors.

Now if we were to talk about the streets of the coastal city of Strom, Chris was right to say, a condensed version of Ishtarika.

In some places, institutions and street lights like the magic city of Ist, which were able to gather excerpts of technology, can be seen in the eyes.

Also in some places, he was seen like the adventurer town of Baltic, a luxurious liquor store and guild.

And with a few more walks, you'll be able to get to a port as big as Magna.

Sometimes it means an emerging city, or the cobblestones and the exterior walls of buildings are still unspoilt.

- After thinking of the streets this way, Ain approached the crowd in front of the Adventurers Guild.

"Yeah. Thanks guys. I knew it, I couldn't stop. It keeps growing... in a way, I think it's what I was born for."

(…?)

Ain was heartily distracted by the man's voice that reached his ear.

The voice has a good street and reaches Ain's ear like a spring breeze.

"Everybody has to think and live. Just vaguely doing adventurers? Or would you just vaguely try to be a merchant? You can't, can you? If the day of the murder exists, it's the day of inaction. This is my belief."

If you turn your eyes, you can see that there is one man at the center of the crowd.

He sits down in the chair in front of the Adventurer's Guild, legs exaggerated, elbows on his back, and this is another exaggerated gesture to raise his voice.

"Ha... Master Wright. It's cool today..."

"Those worrying eyes...... and the wonderfulness of all you can say is a quote if you open your mouth. That's so nice..."

If you look at the crowd, 90% of them are women.

He has empathy not only for his appearance, but also for his own words, and is desperate to shake his neck vertically.

I honestly don't agree with the acting mixed language, but even as Ain, I see and understand his appearance.

The appearance was no less beautiful than that of a dill when he was human, and he felt it was natural for a woman to make a scene.

Ruby-like clear red hair with a crying melon. Neither should his name Wright seem to be in his appearance.

"Even today. I've been hunting alone. I've wholesaled the Green Wyburn, but after a little while, I can make a bag made of this material or something. So if you don't mind, I have a gift for you... so get it."

Watching the lights proudly speak of the results of today's battle, they show interest in the word gift.

Isn't it just a lizard? Next to Ain, Chris leaked his voice naturally.

"Master Wright! What gift?

Then one woman raised her voice and he said, 'Cut!' He made a noise and pounded his tongue, pointing his fingertips at the woman. Apparently, that was the question you wanted me to ask.

"You know, it's nothing special. I can eat. With this light. Together"

(... Ah, yes)

Ain't got his head where he insists it's not special, even though he knows it's special for them.

Looking flat to the side, the light was lost from Chris' eyes, and looking at his neck, he had goosebumps.

"Worship the morning sun and dinner with me? Or are you gonna gracefully have lunch with me? I don't mind enjoying the night view and dinner. It's up to you guys to have a special time with the lights."

But such incitement complaints also work well enough for them.

Wrapped in a yellow cheer, Wright calmly waved...

"Dear Ein. Let's go inside."

"... yeah. Right."

Chris picked the sleeve of his clothes gently and Ain decided to leave the spot.

He walked beside the crowd and hung his hand on the thick door of the Adventurer's Guild.
