When Arashi and Red Lotus returned from their training in the forest, they received the news of Count Rozval's return from Rehm, who was waiting at the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As it was time for lunch, Rem relayed the news that the host had invited Arashi to join him at the luncheon.

Since he was already a guest at someone else's house, there was no reason to refuse this invitation, Arashi nodded and replied cheerfully: "I know, please wait for Count Rozval, I'll go to the dining room when I go back to my room." ”

"Yes, guest. The blue-haired maid gently lifted her skirt and bowed.

Lan's room is counted around the corner of the second floor to the second room, although he knows that he has the trivial problem of road idiot, but the simple common sense of left and right can still be distinguished, and arithmetic is at the level of a normal person......

Lan who opened the door did not immediately choose to enter, but took a step back, looked at the staircase, and counted the side silently in his heart, counting from the staircase to the first, second, and between.

That's right.

Then who will explain to me.,When I opened the door, I saw a huge library instead of a bedroom.,And what about the curly-haired Lori sitting on a wooden stepladder.。

"Sorry, I went to the wrong room. ”

Before the master got angry, dropping the sentence, Arashi hurriedly closed the door.

Walking back to the staircase, Lan cautiously asked Honglian, "Is that on the left?"

Although she was a little surprised to know what had just happened, Honglian still looked at Lan speechlessly, raised her left dog paw and slapped it on Lan's face, and scolded, "That hand hit you?"

"Left hand. ”

Not even answering the answer, the red lotus spewed out a heavy breath from her nostrils, and wrote her disdain on her face.

The first room

2nd ......

Arashi pushed open the door, and Lori in front of her no longer looked down to read, her petite body sat on a step stool, her right hand resting on the armrest, supporting her cute face, and her left index finger tapped the armrest lightly, and the beautiful pupils that should have been praised were looking at her with an impatient look.

"Yo, I'm on the wrong side again. ”

"Are you Betty, this is a hotel down the street? ”

"There must be a mechanism on this door. ”

Arashi innocently stretched out his hand to the gate, and the dog had more say than he did when it came to things like going the wrong way and entering the wrong door.

"Hmph. Lori sighed helplessly, saying that she was getting up, but it was better to say that she was jumping off the stepshaft, but her elegant demeanor did not make people feel rude.

Walking up to Arashi, Curly-haired Lori, who calls herself Betty, hooks his sleeve and pulls out the door, and when the two stand outside the door, the ajar door closes automatically.

"Open the door again and you'll be in your room. After saying this, Lori walked directly to the staircase.

Lan, who always felt as if she had been helped by someone, said in a strange tone, "Shouldn't I say thank you?"

The red lotus lying on her shoulder rolled her eyes and waved her paw lazily, "You have big breasts, you speak first." ”

"Beast ......"

"Hey, what the hell are you making up again. ”

As the door opened, the sound of their conversation faded away. Betty, who was standing on the corner staircase, clenched her petite fist and smashed it on the handrail of the staircase.

"Why, Mother, I've waited four hundred years to meet such a stupid person. ”

When Arashi re-entered the restaurant, he saw that everyone had all taken their seats.

Sitting in the top seat was a maverick man, with long dark blue hair that was about to touch his back, not so much thin, but with a slender physique, with a sickly pale complexion, a surprising different color of blue and yellow, and a gorgeous clown costume and face makeup.

Even if she had already gotten the news from Lan's mouth in advance, Honglian saw this man for the first time, and blurted out: "Orochimaru !!"

"Oh-ah-? I look like the man called Orochimaru? The clown said in an exaggerated tone of voice.

"Ha, sorry, it's late. Arashi snorted and walked over to the empty seat with the cutlery, and to his right sat Lori, whom he had met upstairs earlier, and directly opposite Nanatsuki and Emilia.

"The comfort of the guest in the humble house is more important than anything else, and I am the owner of this house, and Rozval l. Mezas - yes. ”

"At times like these, what should I say. Arashi looked at Lori, who was sitting next to her, feeding Parker soup with a spoon.

"Don't ask Betty superficial questions, stupid people and road idiots should have a common language. ”

"Ah-ah--Beatrice, am I--in your eyes--I've always been like a fool?"

Stretch out your free left hand and bend your index finger and thumb to squeeze out a slit. Lori said directly in a mumbling tone: "It's a little bit close to being perverted." ”

While Rozval and Beatrice were arguing, Parker winked at Arashi beside him and said enthusiastically, "Yo, Arashi, you saved Emilia yesterday, and I haven't thanked you yet." ”

"It's okay, it's a gesture. Arashi smiled silently.

"Ah-yes, yes, I haven't thanked you and the Pleiades yet, but you're my great benefactor of Rozval, and Mistress Emilia is a very important presence to me. ”

Pleiades covered the hair on the back of her head embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I didn't help much, but anyway, as the owner of this house, why does Mr. Rozval keep calling Emilia an adult." ”

"Is there anything wrong with calling someone more noble than yourself an adult?" With his chin propped up behind his hand, Rozval the clown tilted his head to look at Natsuki.

"In this dragon kingdom of Luganica, there was a plague that only targeted members of the royal family half a year ago, and then all the family members, including the king, were wiped out. ”

Cai Yue, who was listening, shuddered, "It's not very difficult to understand, but just by letting people hear it, it makes it feel like a conspiracy." ”

The corners of Rozval's mouth cracked a touching arc, and he continued to speak: "Because of the loss of the king, the situation in the kingdom was once in turmoil, but since then, the kingdom has also formed a council of wise men to be responsible for the daily operation, and each of them is from a wealthy family that has left a prominent reputation in the history of the kingdom, so the operation of the kingdom is no problem at all, but-"

Rozval retracted his expression and paused slightly in his tone, "A kingdom without a king should not exist. ”

"That's right. Cai Yue nodded in agreement.

"What does that have to do with you calling Mistress Amilia? Wait, isn't ......?"

The girl with a serious face exhaled, as if resigned to fate.

"I didn't mean to lie to you. ”

"So, Emilia Carbon is ......"

"My current title is one of the forty-second 'candidates for king' in the Kingdom of Lugnica, and the Earl of the Rozval border over there is my back. ”

“――！！！”

As if seeing a nuclear bomb explode in front of him, Natsuki sat down stiffly with her mouth open.

True...... It's really the woman I chose.

Waiting for Natsuki to digest the shocking news, Rozval's gaze looked at Arashi and Betty on his left flank, both of whom were about to eat up the food on their plates.

"Arashi, I don't seem surprised at all. ”

Lan, who put down the spoon, wiped the corners of his lips and said, "If the king you have chosen is very capable of fighting, I will be slightly interested." ”

What a blunt answer. Seemingly somewhat understanding Arashi's character, Rozval smiled and said, "Okay, Arashi, and the Pleiades." ”

"Now let's get down to business...... Rozval crossed his hands on his chin and sat slightly upright, "as a reward for saving the people I value, no matter what the request is, please let me do my best, and by the way, I hope you two can help." ”

"What request?" In the face of Rozval's negotiation posture, Caiyue Pleiades also put on a serious expression, but it was Lan opposite him, who was still desperately eating.

What a shameful comparison.

Ram, who had been standing behind Rozval at this time, suddenly turned around and walked outside the restaurant, but because everyone's eyes were attracted to Emilia, they didn't pay much attention to her whereabouts.

Sitting silently, Emilia took something out of her pocket and placed it on the table, and Natsuki recognized it as a badge that he had paid three deaths to get back.

"Isn't that the badge?"

"The dragon is the symbol of Lugnica, and it is valued to the point that it claims to be 'Lugnica, the pro-dragon kingdom'. The walls and weapons are full of dragon images, and this coat of arms is the most important. ”

Rozval said with a deliberate pause, and Natsuki gave him an urging look. But he looked at Emilia with the same gaze, and the girl closed her eyes and her lips trembled.

"Eligibility of the Chosen Participant - This badge is used to confirm the bearer's suitability to sit on the throne of the Kingdom of Lugnica. ”

The facts learned from the girl's mouth made Caiyue's eyes almost fall off, "How can it be...... I actually lost the badge of the king's election qualification?!"

"It's hard to hear about losing it, it was stolen by bad kids with unclean hands and feet. ”

"Does it make a difference?"

Screaming and slapping the table, he stood up, "If you really lose it, you can tell me what to do!? ”

Rozval stopped the panicked yelling, "Okay, if you lose it, it's not enough to apologize, a person who can't be protected by a small badge will be considered unable to protect the country and out." ”

"That's why when looking for the badge, Emilia insists on handling it herself, so that things don't get worse?"

"Yes, exactly. ”

"When I think about it, I feel like I'm super critical, and I have higher expectations for rewards. ”

"That's right, you and Lan Ke are both my great benefactors, so just ask. With gratitude, Emilia glanced at Pleiades and Arashi.

"Hmph, in that case, I have only one wish!!"

Pleiades smiled and stood up from his position, "Hire me to work in this mansion." ”

Perhaps shocked by the boy's simple request, everyone's expressions fell into a daze, and probably the only two people who were still doing their own thing were Betty and Arashi opposite the Natsuki Pleiades.

The two of them really focused on their own things from beginning to end, one only cared about eating, the other only cared about feeding the cat, and seemed to be unconcerned about everything that happened in front of them.

"Arashi, what about you?" Rozval looked at the other party.

Just like a ninja who should be paid for completing a task, Lan thought for a moment and said briskly: "I, a case of wine, a bag of money, just help me introduce a place to live in the royal capital." ”

"Aren't you going to live here?" Emilia looked at each other in surprise.

"It's too big, I'm not used to it. I like the smaller house, hahaha. As if thinking of something, Lan looked at Rozval again and said, "It's better to have a small garden, not too big, just plant some flowers and plants." ”

"No problem, if it's just such a request, I can help you do it at any time, really don't you want to change it?"

"Hmph, Betty has eaten. Betty suddenly put down the spoon in her hand and said to Parker in her arms, "Brother, let's go back to the room." ”

"Okay, Betty. Lan, you are not allowed to sneak away from me. I'm going to thank you so much when I get back!" Park waved at Arashi in the distance.

Just as Betty reached the door, the door was opened from the outside, and Ram, who had gone out earlier, stood outside.

"Lord Rozval, the Knights of the Guards of the Kingdom have come to visit Rheinharut. ”

"Oh, it looks like they're coming, please come to the reception room and wait, and I'll be there. With an inexplicable smile on his lips, the clown raised his collar.

"Oh, it's Rheinharut?" Caizuki suddenly remembered the red-haired young man who helped him drive away the robbers in the alley.

"Yes, Lord Rozval, Lord Rheinharut said he was here to find Lord Lan. ”

For the first time this time, everyone collectively focused their attention on the white-haired boy who was picking the teeth of his loyal dog.
