Part 3

While Lexia and the others were having a conversation in the bath, Owen tried to gather information on Yuuya and the others. However, because of Kaori's sudden appearance, he has more to look into, and it's a bit of a headache.

Nevertheless, there are several similarities between Yuuya and Kaori, which can be helpful in gathering information.

"(Although their hair and eye color are the same, their facial features are not that similar… the line of brother and sister is thin, and they are probably really friends. If that's the case, does that mean Kaori-dono is a nobleman or royalty like Yuuya-dono…?)"

Nevertheless, it didn't change the fact that he had little information. That's why Owen's misunderstanding accelerated, and his head ached that he had new things to report when he returned to the royal capital.

This was because Owen wanted to gather as much information about Yuuya as possible and report it to Arnold. When Arnold was attacked by Rhaegar, even though those attackers were exceptionally skilled, Yuuya had managed to deal with them effortlessly, and even took out a series of legendary-grade items.

There was no way they would let loose a country with such an individual so easily, and Arnold wanted him to stay in the Alceria Kingdom if possible. It was because he believed that if Yuuya were willing to abandon his country and become a citizen of the Alceria Kingdom, it would be of great benefit to the country.

In fact, there was no doubt that Yuuya's abilities and legendary grade items would have a tremendous impact on diplomacy. However, since both Owen and Arnold had only seen a small part of Yuuya's abilities yet, it was not known what would happen if they knew about Yuuya's transfer magic and other things.

"(The best thing is not to bring in only Yuya-dono, but Yuya-dono and Lexia-sama marry and start trading with Yuuya-dono's country as it is. …But, His Majesty would be reluctant to do so. Well, after the last one, the hostility towards Yuuya-dono is almost gone, anyway…)"

Arnold's assessment of Yuuya had been revised after Yuuya had treated Rhaegar, which Arnold himself had given up on, and that made Arnold revised his opinion of Yuuya. That's how tremendous Yuuya's actions were, but the man himself was not so aware of it.

Still, although Arnold himself still thinks that the current situation of his beloved daughter, Lexia, favoring Yuuya is not pleasant, he was quite troubled by Yuuya's abilities and other factors.

It's a great idea to get a chance to connect with Yuuya, but as a parent, he doesn't want to give her to anyone. Nevertheless, there was no need to jump to conclusions just yet, since Yuuya himself, whose favor is directed at him, has refused Lexia's marriage proposal.

However, the emergence of an uncertain element called Kaori here complicated the battle over Yuuya.

"(Even so…)"

Owen suddenly turned his attention to Night and Akatsuki, who were relaxing near him.

"Woof?"

"Fugo?"

Then they tilted their heads curiously.

"(They were only briefly introduced to me, but… they are Yuuya-dono's family. That's not normal by any stretch of the imagination…)"

With that in mind, Owen took the opportunity to take a good look at Night and Akatsuki.

"(Night-dono is a… dog? It's not… he's a wolf. However, when it comes to black wolf monsters, there aren't too many types… the most famous one is [Black Fang], but they're a D-class. It wasn't very good. In fact, it wouldn't be able to fight in the Great Devil's Nest. Other than that, there are several things that come to mind, such as the [Shadow Wolf] and the [Murder Claw], which are still too weak to survive in the Great Devil's Nest. Besides, a

At Owen-san's words, Lexia-san's expression, which had been so lively a moment ago, froze.

"Ugh, it's not true, right?"

"No, it's true. Giving your official duties would make it impossible for you to be selfish, no matter what you say. I advised Lexia-sama that this would be just fine for her."

"O-Owennnnnnnnnnnn!"

Lexia-san stared at Owen-san with a devilish look on her face. That's scary… But even though Owen-san looks at Lexia-san like that, he doesn't seem to be affected.

"You've been acting a little too freely lately. I'll have you working to your heart's content for a while from tomorrow."

"N-no!"

"No, no. For now, as far as I know, you'll be attending the upcoming social events, and you'll be meeting with people from the neighboring kingdom of Rowness. Also, there will be a visit to a provincial city that you were unable to visit last time."

"N-nooooooo!"

Lexia-san collapsed on the spot. H-how hard it is for royalty to do that… And just by listening to the story like that, I can strongly feel that Lexia-san is a real princess. The world we live in is different, after all.

Next to the crumbling Lexia-san, Luna let out a dumbfounded sigh.

"Sigh… I wouldn't say I like it too, but all this. Since I'm employed by Lexia, do I have to join in…?"

Then she heard Luna's words and suddenly regained her energy.

"L-Luna! You're with me, right? You don't like it, too, do you? There's nothing fun about socializing at a dinner party, after all!"

"Yes. But I'm just an escort. I don't have to deal with any of the annoying interactions around there, though."

"Y-you traitooooorrrr!"

Apparently, Lexia-san doesn't have any allies. So please don't look at me like that. There's nothing I can do about it.

"Ugh… i-it can't be helped… I will finish those things right away and come here again!"

"Yes, yes, that's right."

"Just one 'yes' is enough!"

Lexia-sama yelled at Owen-san and then looked at us again.

"Well then, It's a regret to say goodbye, but we'll leave now."

"Oh, do you want me to walk you to the entrance of this [Great Devil's Nest]?"

"Thanks, but no thanks. Since we're here, it's best also to raise Luna and Owen's levels!"

"This girl…!"

Luna and Owen-san's eyes were wide open. A-are they going to be okay?

Well, the monsters near the entrance to the Great Devil's Nest can be dealt with by Luna, even if they come in packs, so it's okay.

"So, Kaori. See you later!"

"Yes! I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about again!"

──That's how Lexia-san and the others left. In the meantime, I asked Night to follow them from the shadows, so they should be fine.

As we were watching them off, Kaori muttered next to me.

"They've gone…"

"That's right…"

"…Lexia-san and the others were nice, and we had a lot of fun."

"I see. I'm glad you're getting along so well."

At first, I was strangely tense, and I wondered what was going to happen. I chuckled, and I asked her something that was suddenly on my mind.

"Oh, by the way, you were so close at the end, what exactly did you talk about in the bath?"

In response to my question, Kaori looked up at me and smiled mischievously.

"…It's a secret!"
