After sending out the orders to investigate the east side of the Eastaria continent towards Aeson, Druid Oz crosschecks some of the information and the situation of the elven army with Aeson’s group for a while. Aeson and the other elves leave the mansion as well to relay the new information and do some other miscellaneous tasks ordered by Druid Oz after getting dismissed.

“Hm? Where’s Claria?” Asked Druid Oz as he couldn’t spot Claria that supposed to be standing next to Geeta.

“She left,” (Geeta)

“She left?” (Druid Oz)

“Yes. Looking at the dazzling back of a certain someone made her couldn’t stay still and left to check her kingdom’s warriors,” (Azaline)

“I-Is that so…? Then that’s good, she must be anxious about the noble soldiers that are marching towards the demonic base. It would be a good distraction for her,” (Druid Oz)

“So? What should we do now?” (Geeta)

“Hm… How about we go sightseeing in the Galhala kingdom and relax ourselves a bit? I believe that Claria is not the only one who is feeling anxious right now, after all,” said Druid Oz with a gentle smile.

Even though Azaline had been trying her best not to show it on her face, she’s actually feeling very anxious about the result of the expedition towards the east side of the Eastaria continent. It would be great if they could find her mother, but there’s a big possibility that she’s not there, and there are also some worst scenarios that she didn’t want to think of.

But of course, Druid Oz and Geeta had realized this from the start. Geeta had some ideas to cheer her up, but she believes that the most efficient thing that could cheer Azaline up and give a big impact on the anxiety on her heart is to get cheered up by the one she loves.

*Sigh!*

Azaline let out a sigh.

“Even though I’ve tried hard to hide it… So the both of you noticed it, huh…?” Muttered Azaline as the mask she’s using to hide her anxiety start to crumble.

“Well, I’m your best friend, after all~” (Geeta)

“Well, that’s true, isn’t it?” (Azaline)

“Hm… But if I notice it because I’m your best friend, then I wonder Ren notice it as your what~” (Geeta)

“W-What are you saying, Geeta. Too close!” Azaline brushed off Geeta that is approaching her face with a teasing smile as she stole some glances towards Druid Oz.

“What do you think, Ren!” Geeta decided to ask directly to Druid Oz.

“Hm… I wonder…” Druid Oz let out a vague answer.

“Geez~ Can’t you come up with a better answer? Can’t you see Azaline’s emitting an aura filled with disappointment? But well,” Geeta suddenly grabbed one of Druid Oz’s arms.

“W-Wha- Geeta?” (Azaline)

“Of course~ No matter what he says, Ren is mine, though~ I met him first, after all~” (Geeta)

“G-Geeta, how unfair…” Azaline gritted her teeth as she couldn’t retaliate on Geeta’s teasings since she’s too embarrassed to do the bold things that Geeta could do.

“Don’t blame it on me. Blame it on Ren, he’s the one that didn’t come up with a good answer, after all~ Hehehe~” said Geeta as she further clings to Druid Oz’s arm.

“G-Geeta…” (Druid Oz)

“You sure enjoying it, aren’t you?” (Azaline)

“Of course~” (Geeta)

“Hm… A good answer, huh… Then how about this,” (Druid Oz)

“Eh?” Geeta exclaimed in surprise as Druid Oz suddenly approached Azaline.

“The reason why I noticed you’re anxious is it? Well, of course, it’s because you’re my queen of elves, I need to be at least capable to notice the true expression beneath the elf queen’s mask to be able to get Reindell’s approval, isn’t that right, my queen?” said Druid Oz as he pats Azaline’s head.

*Phoosh!*

Druid Oz felt like steams gushing out from Azaline’s head for a moment, and when he take a glance below his hand that is petting her head, her face is beet red.

Druid Oz tilts his head as he tries to lift his hand and is about to hold her forehead to check whether she has a fever, but Azaline holds his hand with both of her hands, forcing it to remain on top of her head.

“T-Thank you,” (Azaline)

“W-Whoa… As expected of Ren… He turns the table rather quickly… Azaline will definitely forget about her mother and anything else after this…” (Geeta)

“I won’t!” (Azaline)

“Hehehehe~” Geeta let out a laugh, but even though she’s happy for her best friend, she also felt envious and jealous of Druid Oz’s words towards Azaline. Thinking that eating some snacks would relieve her from those complicated feelings, Geeta take out her spatial bag and was about to take out some snacks but-

“Eh?” Geeta exclaimed in surprise as Druid Oz suddenly holds her hand.

“And of course, the queen of the goblins is my queen as well, isn’t that right, my queen?” Different from Azaline, Druid Oz attacked Geeta’s defense with a smirk and put his hand on top of Geeta’s head as he pats her.

“W-what are you doing? Hands off! I want to eat my snacks!” said Geeta as she weakly tried to brush off Druid Oz’s hands.

“Oh my, isn’t the force you’re using to brush my hands off are too weak, Geeta? Isn’t the queen of goblins supposed to have the same strength as Aegir?” (Druid Oz)

“S-Shut up!” Replied Geeta as her face flushed the same way Azaline’s does.

“Fufufufu! Geeta’s reaction is even cuter than mine~” Azaline finally gains an opportunity to tease Geeta back.

“Ugh… Just you wait, Azaline… But… In other thought, this is nice… Again, again…” Geeta holds Druid Oz’s hand on top of her head as she refuses to let that hand leave.

The warmth and the gentleness emitted from the tender stroke warm and eases her heart, the feeling had made Geeta addicted that she forgot about her embarrassment.

“And she recovers from the embarrassment so quick! Geeta, formidable…” (Azaline)

“Now, now. Since this is a rare chance, how about going sightseeing around the Galhala kingdom? It will be a nice and refreshing experience to observe the country filled with people that occasionally transform from human form into huge owl form, right?” Suggested Druid Oz.

“Hm~ That’s a good idea! Let’s go! Let’s try some Galhala foods as well along the way!” Geeta immediately suggested food-related visits immediately.

“I’m interested as well! That’s a good idea!” Answered Azaline with full of smiles.

Just like what Geeta had thought, Azaline got temporarily forgot her worry about her mother as her heart is currently filled with the happiness she gets from the attention Druid Oz is giving her. But even so, the one that is currently got her heart filled with happiness is not Azaline, but Geeta as well.

Even though the both of them got embarrassed by Druid Oz’s words at first, those words bring extreme happiness to the both of them as well. Even though his manner of words is slightly roundabout, the meaning is clear.

It means that since they are his queens, or in other words, his wives, it’s normal for him to at least notice the feelings that they are trying to hiding. But currently, the magician that is also trying his best to hide his real expression from getting revealed ends up didn’t notice another thing.

The fact that the both girls also realized the hidden expression he’s having.

(Now that I think about it, his words are way too roundabout. Fufufu… Well, he’s not the type that could easily muster up that kind of cheesy words, after all. It must be the best form of sweet words that he could muster at that time~) (Azaline)

(Hm… Ren’s words are too roundabout, and because his hand is patting my head, I couldn’t really see his expression. But well, I can’t really saw his face because I’m too embarrassed to face him directly as well, though. But as expected…) (Geeta)

(He must be embarrassed as well!) (Geeta and Azaline)

“W-Why are the both of you looking at me like that?” Asked Druid Oz as he stared at him with a wry smile.

“”Nothing~”” (Azaline and Geeta)

“H-Huh?” (Druid Oz)

The three of them end up sightseeing around the Galhala kingdom, visiting every part of the kingdom while riding Corvus.

Inside the imperial palace of the great Tarot Empire, Slime Oz is crouching behind his desk.

“R-Ren? What happened? Stomachache?” (Aegir)

“N-No… It’s fine… I’m fine…” said Slime Oz as he raise his body and continue to sit at the desk and once again hold up his pen.

“Hm? Your face is kind of red, Ren,” (Aegir)

“I’m fine. I’m fine. Don’t mind me,” (Druid Oz)

“I-Is that so…?” (Aegir)

(That damned Druid clone… Saying such embarrassing things… The next time I saw him, he’ll burn!!) (Slime Oz)
