The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

151 Episode 44: How To Be Happy

Hasty, noisy, lively. Such a magical birthday celebrated its final day with a great deal of excitement.

Of course, it didn't make any difference that there wasn't any trouble at all. But the only thing that got to me was an ex post report of what kind of trouble happened and how it was resolved.

I was relieved to hear that the person in charge had responded calmly to the trouble and managed to fit it in safely. Really, I don't think it's a mistake to say that this magic birthday is celebrated by everyone's hard work.

That's what everyone's trying to do, so I have to do what I can as a royal. Specifically, are you careful how you stand and behave, or are you wearing a dress for a long time?

Today's appointment is a concert with an instrument created with the method of making demonic props. And then there's the flow of attending noble night clubs. It's a pretty long street, so I need to get in the mood.

"Anis, are you ready?

"Yeah. I'm fine."

Ilia let me change into a dress, put on makeup and tie my hair and I'm ready. Uffi comes with Raini at that time.

From here on out, I attend concerts, and I don't have time off because it's the flow of attending nightclubs as it is. So we waited in the outhouse until the concert began.

"True, I'm glad your fathers dealt with Emperor Lukeheim..."

"Right. It wasn't my job to entertain you."

"Uffi will fall on the boulder."

Even if I wanted to welcome you as the Kingdom of Palettia, it was a huge burden for Uffi given the effort I had to cope with. I think it was good for Uffi that the fathers replaced the burden.

And this struggle is just around the corner. Proceed to the night club and give Emperor Lukeheim the "Devil's Sword" at the end of the day and the shoulder load will fall. Until then, you must be patient.

"It's hard, but it's worth it. And it's also an event for the nobles to stretch their feathers, and you're working hard on it."

"Yeah! Well, let's go. Yufi."

Come on, let's enjoy the last day of the festival.

The Great Square of Castle Town. A little further from the border with the aristocratic city, the Great Square is usually used when there is a major announcement for the people. It is also used for other events among the people, so it should be referred to as an event venue.

There were a lot of people in this great square right now. The concert was informed beforehand, and most importantly, today is the first time it has been made public to the people. Maybe that's why we can call it attention.

"It's a magic instrument, so is it a magic instrument?

"Right. That's what I call it because it's easy to understand."

"So what kind of band do we have to name to play using demonic instruments?

"... Demon Orchestra, or something?

"Let's ask Lang next time"

While waiting, me and Uffi waited for the start time of the performance while being protected by escorts. This time is longer and more boring than I thought. It's a good thing it's a progression you've got plenty of time for, but the dress is still heavy.

I wonder if I could make a lighter dress or something... review it from a cloth or something? I realized that I would be embarrassed by my dress if I left it to Ufi, and now I need to think about it properly for myself...

"You know, the original version of a knight's clothing one-piece dress..."

"Oh, Princess Anisphere! And Queen Uphilia! Were you there first?"

I heard Emperor Lukeheim as I was sinking into thought. I could see Emperor Lukeheim coming this way with a full smile if I looked up.

I feel slightly faster, so Master Falgana and the escort knights are following me with a little trouble. Seeing the people of such an empire makes me laugh bitterly.

"Emperor Lukeheim, be in a good mood"

"Uhm! No, as long as I'm sorry and jealous that I've been entertaining you for the past few days! I couldn't wait to hear about today's event!

"That's more than anything..."

As always, this emperor is well, and he's about to be half-eyed. Fathers, you've been wielding by this emperor for a long time, it must have been hard...

"... I'm used to being anise, so I think you'll be fine."

"... Yufi, don't read people's minds. And what does that mean?

"If you put your hands on your chest and think about it, you know it's natural, right?

... hey, I can't say anything! Next time, let's be filial to our fathers, let's do that... let's tell them thanks for always taking care of us...

When I had a subtle look, I had an eye for Master Falgana, who had a similar subtle look.

"... I'm sorry"

"Ugh... this way..."

No, in my case, you deserve it, or you want me to see someone else pretend to fix us...

Although I felt somewhat thin, I felt a sense of ready-to-see swinging around Emperor Lukeheim's person, but I don't think that's who I am...

"Huh! Sounds like it's time to start!

Emperor Lukeheim, who never looked as if he cared how we were doing, raises a voice full of expectations.

A stage is assembled in the Great Square, where an orchestra with demonic instruments takes the stage. An introduction to the orchestra is given in the MC's greeting.

"Today Her Majesty Queen Uphilia, Her Royal Highness King Anisphere, and even more so His Majesty Emperor Lukeheim and His Royal Brother Falgana are invited by the Aylene Empire. I would like to thank the Spirit most sincerely for this good day and offer my prayers."

The gaze of the royalty, as well as those gathered in the corner prepared by the royal family in attending the concert, gathers. With the introduction of Emperor Lukeheim and Lady Falgana, a slight twist runs.

It's usually surprising, after all, that royalty from other countries are coming to see the festivities of the civilians. But such a surprising twist calms down when it's time for the performance to begin.

"The demonic props advocated by His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere and now a new breeze in this country. It will be a song dedicated to the Spirit, by means of instruments made with that technology."

The introduction is over and the MC's gaze is directed at the conductor. When the conductor nodded one, the baton was raised and the performance began.

A six-color instrument, as if it represented various spirits, the tone spreads to the quiet large square as the musicians begin to play to their command.

This time, the song being played by the musicians is a hymn to the Spirit. A song that has long been passed down to the Kingdom of Palletia, the lyrics are spoken from the encounter between the first king and the Spirit.

Something to convey through the song the encounter of the first king with the Spirit, and the teaching that it was given by the Spirit. The tune slowly increases in magnificence, though calm.

But it doesn't change that what is at the root is calm. It is also familiar because it is a song that has long been familiar to the people of the Kingdom of Palettia, who have a reputation for calming their hearts if they hear it.

(... At one point, I hated it so much)

I used to hate this song that praised the teachings given to me by the Spirit, the splendour of the Spirit, and the world is beautiful.

The Spirit taught me through magic that the world is beautiful. But I didn't know the beauty of the world because I couldn't use magic.

I hated this song because you said you couldn't figure it out. However, it was later found out that the misunderstanding or that it only sounded so because it had been interpreted as aristocratic.

I started working as an adventurer and had more opportunities to touch civilian life as well, lyrics in the original sense I learned occasionally at that time.

There was no praise for magic there. It's just that the Spirit is with the world, and the Spirit is the manifestation of the world, and that's why it's beautiful. Knowing the original lyrics, I finally like this song.

In aristocracy and civilians the way they receive may be slightly different. Still, this song does not change that if you are a people of the Kingdom of Palettia, you will learn to be familiar.

"......"

Listening to the performance, I felt the light inadvertently plundered the edge of my vision. When I turned my gaze to be caught, at first a small light appeared like a firefly light.

White, purple, red, yellow, blue, green. The six-color light emits light to shake as it plays. The people who saw the sight begin to get dizzy.

The light leaves its tail drawn, and from its residual light the light pours down like scaly powder. I could see one of the kids who was coming to see the concert reaching for the downpouring light and smiling with an unbeatable glitter.

The performance enters the good realm as everyone is blinded by the Spirit that has become visible. Then the light of the Spirit flies as it gathers around the performers.

Like the spirits who were shaking like irregular illuminations, changing their appearance to match the song. - And the light of the gathered spirits could play. For a moment, after a dazzling luminescence phenomenon, the performers had a beautiful "rainbow" over their heads.

From the Rainbow Bridge comes the light that seems to have been left behind by the sparkle and the Spirit as if to bless it. It's such a beautiful sight to sigh unexpectedly.

The performance ends slowly as the light falls. And cheers exploded at the same time as the performers gave their compliments. Unspared applause and a storm of praise from the enthusiastic people are delivered to the performers.

The performers also smiled contentedly and gave another deep thank you. The sound of applause that keeps ringing in the venue never shows signs of stopping.

(Well, what about Emperor Lukeheim's reaction?

Speaking of which the emperor was quiet from earlier, I turned my gaze toward Emperor Lukeheim with ease, and I was gnawed.

Because it was an unexpected look: Emperor Lukeheim with a face like Nobu.

"... Emperor Lukeheim?

"... Mm. Oh, I'm sorry. Were you a little unconscious?"

When I spoke, Emperor Lukeheim first gave me that look. Speaking up turned my gaze on me, but that gaze is directed at the performers who are being applauded again.

"... you saw something awesome"

"Awesome, is it?

"Ah.... such a shock to be able to repaint the values. It was something I had felt several times since I inspected the Magic Birthday Festival, but today's sounded even more like it."

The look on the face of Emperor Lukeheim, who speaks so, remained rugged. That gaze should be directed at the performers and those who keep applauding, but it also looks like you're looking somewhere far away.

When Emperor Lukeheim worried about the harsh atmosphere and looked at Master Falgana beside him, he also had an indescribable, troubled look on his face.

In addition, the knights of the Empire, the two guards, react similarly and stopovers. I accidentally got in trouble. When I saw Uffi, I found him as confused as I was.

"... it's never bad. But I can't say enough about it. I'm vague."

"Emperor Lukeheim......?

"If the country is different, customs, culture, everything can be different. The well-being of the people cannot be narrowed down to one. If each people seems to be happy, it is right to be different in shape. I've lived up to my chest without being ashamed of the path I've walked. As Emperor of the Aylene Empire, there are many challenges that must be exchanged, none of which are inferior to the Kingdom of Palletia."

Give the impression you feel from Emperor Lukeheim, who speaks pale. I didn't know how the hell to describe it. Maybe that's because Emperor Lukeheim himself hasn't been able to articulate what he thought of this sight.

So Emperor Lukeheim goes on to just say what he feels.

"The more the people laugh at happiness, the more enthusiastic they become. It makes me feel like my chest is leaping, and my chest is so tight. It's one of those things that defines me as the happiness of the people. The process is different. Everyone has this sight in the empire. I do..."

"... but"

"- Oh, yeah. You're sorry. You're sorry, I am."

It is envy. And I was jealous. Thoughts interspersed positively and negatively, yearning for something sparkling and beautiful, and burning.

The rugged look on Emperor Lukeheim's face is also what it is because such complex thoughts occupy his chest.

"With me, I wanted to give this sight to the people of the Empire. And there is a response that we are accomplishing at least a little bit while halfway down the road. But in the process of getting there... don't get jealous."

"In the process, is it?

"I have only given this happy zeal to the people by winning the war."

I accidentally took my breath away. Likewise, Uffi was breathtaking and at the same time tightening his expression.

"... Emperor Lukeheim"

"Queen Uphilia. Sincerely, I envy your fate. So much so that I thought for a moment that if this brilliance were to hold in my hand, But then you won't get this glow. That's why I envy you."

Emperor Lukeheim narrows his eyes. Those eyes seemed lonely somewhere. And he's making me sad like I'm exhausted.

"I... - I don't like war"

Clearly, that's what Emperor Lukeheim said. With even the mundane and simmering anger seeping through his sad expression.

"My father made the war good and made the empire bigger as a hegemony. authority, territory, to satisfy his desires. The man continued to move on. While stacking many sacrifices on that path. War easily takes people's lives and causes them to lose their sanity. And many lives were scattered. Some of them I could call my friends. Some can only be won in battle, but many things are lost in battle. You think this country is going to accomplish a single song about the fanaticism you won while you lost it? - What, is that it? You make me laugh."

I laughed like a blowout, shook my shoulders. I didn't know what words to say to Emperor Lukeheim, and I just had to shut up.

Master Falgana is quietly closing his eyes next to Emperor Lukeheim. The knights of the Empire also have an indescribable look on their face. I didn't think I'd understand the thought of raising it in my chest.

"I don't laugh when it's easy. Preserving, nurturing and communicating culture would also have had a different ordeal than winning the war. But that's something I don't understand growing up differently. But that's why... that's a long way off. People laughing without bloodshed or victory have sights that cannot be exchanged in the Empire. I envy you."
