"I'm going to be inside the gate soon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info," Altia said with an expectant tone. The shouts of the crowd, the bomb-like sounds, were even louder. Then, the sightseeing bus finally passed through the wall. The light shone from the sky.

"Oh ......" The scene in front of him made Lin Yiyan can't help but burst out. Inside the city walls, cities from another world spread out. This is the imperial capital of the Bucklantys Empire, "Saletis".

The magnificent Victorian style of the city always seems to be the capital of Europe. The difference is that they are made of the same black building material as the exterior walls. It was still daylight in the sky, but there was an incredible impression that only this street market was still left in the middle of the night.

But it's not all black. The walls and roofs of buildings, and the surface of the road are lit up with colorful lights. These are the lifeblood of Saletis, the imprint of the supply of magical energy comparable to the electricity and gas on Earth. Because the city is black, the flow of magical light is even more beautiful.

The black buildings along the street seem to add to the streetscape, and various images are projected on the walls. Characters from other worlds are also displayed in the video. Although Lin Yiyan didn't know each other, those were all words of welcome to the protagonists of the parade. There were several mechanical ships floating in the sky, splattering particles and fragments of light made of magic like confetti. The sparkling light made Lin Yiyan's illusion arise spontaneously, and he almost thought that this was the kingdom of dreams.

On both sides of the road ahead of the parade array, there are continuous walls of people. The crowd gathered was all women. Some people were overjoyed, some were excited and wept, and some people cheered loudly. Although there are many forms, people are all welcoming the parade. Everyone spouted words of congratulations and joy, and shouted the name of the princess of another world like praise.

"Your Highness Agnes! Welcome back! "It's really safe, Lord Aynez! "Lord Aynes, Lord Aynes, long live! "Welcome home, Your Highness Aynez——! "The non-stop salute was constantly raining down fragments of roar and light from the sky. Then, the sound of a march came from nowhere, and the atmosphere was pushed to a climax without saying anything. The extraordinarily grand scene and the fanatical mood of the crowd frightened Lin Yiyan.

"Sure enough, every world has a culture unique to each world, and there's really a refreshing feeling? Was this a culture unique to the Empire of Butlantys, or was it the case with Atlantis as a whole? Lin Yiyan asked curiously to the girls around her.

"It's just Butlantis, every country's culture is different!" Altya shook her head.

"Oh? I remember that Gravel was also the leader of a country, right? Lin Yiyan looked at Gravel and asked, "What are you like there?" What is the name of the country? ”

"My country is a city near the sea, a bit like the resort island in the south of the world where Yi Yan is located, right?" As if remembering something, Gravel said in a leisurely tone, "She has a very nice name called Isgard, and her capital is called Alzinte......"

"That's it!" Lin Yiyan nodded clearly, and then continued to look at the ceremony outside. However, as time progressed and the vehicle moved forward, Lin Yiyan's brows became more and more strangely furrowed. As if noticing Lin Yiyan's expression, Altia and Gravel glanced at each other, and then Gravel looked at Lin Yiyan and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

"I just wanted to ask...... Why are there only women here? What about men? Why don't men have one? Lin Yiyan asked strangely. Because Lin Yiyan found that from all the way just now, there was no figure that looked like a man.

"Does a man mean someone like Lin Yiyan?"

"Speaking of which, if it weren't for the invasion of Lemuria, we wouldn't know what a man is?"

Altia and Gravel's answers made Lin Yiyan instantly dumbfounded, Lin Yiyan twitched the corners of his mouth, and after half a sound, he suddenly roared, "You mean that there is no man in your world?" If it weren't for the sound insulation of this car being good enough, Lin Yiyan's voice would probably disturb this grand welcome ceremony.

"It seems that the species of man still existed a long time ago, but then it slowly disappeared! We don't know why! ”

Gravel's answer made Lin Yiyan pick up his head in pain, only to hear Lin Yiyan muttering nervously, "What is this, the daughter country of another world?" If I take a woman from the world back, let Tsuko, Charlotte, Asuna, Shiina, C.C., and Karene know that it will be a ghost if you don't kill me! ”

"Hey! Gravel! Is there only women in your country? Lin Yiyan looked at Gravel, holding each other's shoulders face to face, and they could feel each other's breathing when they were close. It seemed that Gravel was a little embarrassed by Lin Yiyan's gaze, only to see that her face was slightly red, and she dodged Lin Yiyan's gaze and said, "That's the case, that's right!" ”

"........." Gravel's answer instantly made Lin Yiyan dumbfounded, and the whole person seemed to have burned out, leaving only gray and white.

Aside from Lin Yiyan's side, Aiyin's side.

“……？” Aiyin, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly looked around with incredulity.

"What do you mean, Lord Agnès?" Zelcioni, who was standing beside her, immediately asked.

"Feeling...... Looks like someone is screaming? So...... Something strange? This answer made Zelcionie laugh.

"That's what you say!" Zelcinho, who seemed to know something, said with a smile, "Because Lord Yi Yan seems to have asked something strange, and he was stimulated, we all knew this just now!" ”

"Weird question?" Aiyin repeated suspiciously.

"Yes!" Zercioni smiled and explained the cause and effect to Aiyin, and after listening to it, Aiyin also looked at the attendant with a look of surprise, "What? No men? How so? ”

"It seems that Lord Agnès's amnesia is really serious, our world has always been like this, right?" Zelcioni said with such an expression on his face.

Seeing Aiin's unusually stunned expression, Zelcioni persuaded Aiyin, "However, Lord Agnès, you should pay attention to your surroundings now, there is no one in this Saletis City who does not call your name." ”

"Also...... yes. Aiin smiled back in confusion, suppressing her doubts. Then, Aiyin once again looked around, listening to the cheers that shrouded the parade, almost all of them shouting Aiin's name. The imperial capital is raising the city to entertain the first princess who has returned after a decade and should have died.

Unexpectedly, she was greeted with such a level of popularity, and Aiyin herself was greatly surprised. However, she was somewhat familiar with this scene.

“…… Sitting on a huge seat, a large crowd kneeling...... It's exactly the same as you saw in your dreams. ”

"Then it's time Lord Agnès to recall your own coronation."

"Coronation?"

"The first emperor collapsed when Lord Agnès was seven years old, and then Lord Agnès ascended the throne."

"At that time......" There are still many parts of Aiin's memory that are still cloudy. However, as long as you capture a small memory and pull it out, it will be vividly reflected in Aiyin's mind.

"But after that, I'm nowhere to be seen, right? So how has it been ......so far?"

"As the second princess's honored sister, Lord Grace has done a great job of acting for her......" Zelcioni muttered, seemingly a little difficult to say.

"What's wrong?"

"No, even though it's an agent, it's been a ten-year job. If Lady Grace's life and death are unknown, then the situation will be useless. In fact, it's not unreasonable to call Lord Grace Emperor now. Therefore, the return of you, Lord Agnès, also has the possibility of becoming a seed of strife. It would be nice if it was just a worry, but ......"

I see, that's what happened—Aiyin thought.

"Today, I don't plan to be an emperor anymore. As long as I admit Grace as emperor as soon as possible, right? Zercioni frowned and said, "It's not that simple...... And maybe not so in Grace's opinion. ”

"Yes...... "Grace is Aiin's sister who is two years younger. She is very lovely, full of magic talents, and admires Aiyin immensely.

Sister-in-law, do you want to play together?

There were almost no children of the same age in the royal city, and Grace often came to Aiyin's place and invited her sister to play. While Aiyin feels that this sister who admires her is cute, it is common for her to inadvertently say something to bully her.

What's that, Grace. If you want to play with Miss Ben, you're ten years early.

Ten...... Decade? I can't play with my sister for so long...... Whining......

Then, it was clear that he was bullying Grace by himself, but as always, he was distressed to see her sad.

Really, it's true. I'll let Grace stay with me. But you can't come until I call you over.

Well! Thank you, Sister!

In the castle, Grace is always pestering Aiyin. She was afraid that she would be left behind by Aiyin, who sometimes explored the royal city and sometimes ran around the atrium, and would always desperately catch up. Aiyin jumped over the gurgling water in the courtyard, and Grace was bold enough to challenge her, but she didn't jump over it, and it was not uncommon for her to fall into the river. Even if the dress was soaked, Grace would get up nonchalantly and happily chase after her sister.

Sister, are you studying?

Then, when it was time to go to bed at night, she would also bring her favorite books to Aiyin's room. (To be continued.) )
