When I saw her smile, I thought nothing good was going to happen.

But I can't escape now, and I have to think about my companions.

"Kitten, come here!"

"She calls you kitten...... Hahaha. ”

Vivien couldn't help but laugh.

Damn, I hate that too!

"What are you doing, perverted princess?"

"Thank you so much for saving my subordinates."

Alice wore an overcoat over her body, which kind of hid her bare snow-white skin.

"......"

"But you can't leave yet, my secretary wants to talk to you."

"Hello, I am the secretary of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I think it is necessary for you to explain to me what you have done."

It was the first time I met Alice and the lady she was with.

At this time, she was not wearing a coat, and she should have given her coat to Alice.

"Didn't you promise to let us go?"

"Yes, I promised you, but a little investigation is still necessary."

"Although I am very dissatisfied with the decision made by Her Royal Highness the Princess, I cannot let Her Highness the Princess lose her trust. If you don't feel at ease, you can let your companion go back first, and you can cooperate with me to investigate. ”

"Miss Suzuki......"

Harina gave me a worried look.

"Hey, it's been put on a ...... Okay, I promise you. ”

After that, it took a lot of effort to convince my companion to let me stay alone.

If I don't come back the next day, they will come to me——— which is a pact I made with them.

……

The place of the review is in the prison.

I was forced to put on a pair of handcuffs and became like a real prisoner.

I'm not a prisoner......

"Miss Suzuki, I have a few questions for you, please answer them truthfully."

"Good ......"

The female secretary sat in a chair and interrogated me as if she were a prisoner.

"The purpose of your visit to the royal capital this time?"

"Escort Miss Xiao Mio to a beauty pageant."

"Xiao Mio? Is it the daughter of the mayor of North El City? ”

"Do you know her?"

I was surprised she knew about Vivien.

"Of course, I have to remember the names of all the officials who hold office, and I will remember the names of their sons and daughters once in a while."

It's really hard......

"I'll check with Miss Xiao after that. Next question, what is the purpose of your participation in the beauty pageant? ”

"In order to investigate the murderer of Sato-sama, this is something that Miss Sato can testify to me."

After thinking about it, it's better not to lie, after all, I don't know if there is such a thing as a lie detector in this world.

"I see, I'll check with Miss Sato. Next question, why did you suddenly appear in the palace yesterday? ”

"On that note, I have to sue the jury I met!"

"Although this matter is not within my scope, I still want to hear your reasons."

"They're going to rape me!"

I cried out angrily, and I felt sick to my stomach at the thought of those disgusting barons.

"Huh...... It's the first time I've heard of something like this, so can you tell me more about it? ”

"I don't want to say more about the specifics, please investigate it yourself."

"I'll take your opinion into account. Last question, who are you? ”

"As you can see, it's just an ordinary adventurer."

"An ordinary team of adventurers can't defeat the princess, let alone destroy the princess's three legendary-level items."

"We're really just ordinary adventurers."

"According to my investigation, there seems to be a problem with your identity. We will make a detailed registration for each registered citizen, but your information is very vague...... Information that appears to be fake. ”

The female officer took the registration form handed by her subordinate and quickly discovered the problem.

"Who knows...... Maybe there's something wrong with the person who registered. ”

It's really amazing to be a secretary......

"Do you know how each country deals with spies from other countries?"

"I don't know ......"

"You should know."

The female officer walked up to me and looked at me very gently.

Could it be...... Grunt, I swallowed.

Even then, I wouldn't have said it.

"I'm not a spy! Please show the appropriate evidence, or I will sue you for slandering me!" ”

"The proof is that you and your companions have wreaked havoc on the palace, and it is already very important for Her Royal Highness the princess not to directly execute you."

"That's because ......"

"Alright, alright. I'll take care of the rest! ”

"Eh, Your Highness Princess? No, she might be a spy sent by the Empire! ”

"Can you say you want to disobey my orders?"

"No...... But what should be done about the damage to the palace? ”

"I'll leave it to you."

"How is that?! Her Royal Highness the Princess? Your Highness the Princess! ”

Alice, who broke through the door, completely ignored the feelings of the female officer and forcibly took me away.

"Can you tell me where I'm going to go?"

"I'll tell you later."

I was led by Alice in a daze.

Well, I had a hunch that I was taken to a room by her again.

Can you not bring me into the room every time, I feel super uneasy!

"Your Royal Highness Princess, is there something wrong? And bring me to such a place. ”

"Can you tell me your story?"

Alice helped me undo the handcuffs I was wearing on my hands.

"What's the story?"

"Of course it's your adventure, and I'm curious about being a princess."

Ha? What kind of trouble is it to suddenly turn into a normal princess?

I don't believe that this perverted princess would be interested in any of my adventures.

"What the hell is your purpose?"

"Well, I don't like to beat around the bush either. This beauty contest had to be interrupted because of you. ”

"Why?"

"The next tournament will be held in the palace, but as you can see, there is no way to hold any more tournaments in the palace that has been destroyed like that."

Truly...... The palace square that we destroyed is completely uninvisible, and it may be even more troublesome if the outside world investigates it.

"Sorry......"

"You don't have to apologize because this tournament has ended early."

"What does that mean?"

"Because the winner has already appeared."

"Huh?! yes, who is that? ”

"You."

Alice pointed at me.

"Me? When was it decided? ”

"Just now."

"That's too random, isn't it?"

How can such an important competition decide the winner casually? Besides, I'm the winner! I don't want to marry any royal family or anything like that.

Wait, I seem to realize something is wrong!

"Then I'm not going to ......"
