CH 439

“Hoh, it’s a nice house.”

“Right? It kind of looks like the house on the hill, don’t you think?”

“Yeah, you always wanted that house.”

“I gave it up when they decided to let Nina use it, though.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a bigger house? You have a lot of friends too, so I envy you.”

When we arrived at the house, my Dad, I, and Prince Orden were chatting in front of the house, talking about our impressions and memories of the building. Then I turned around to notice that Prince Ryde and Lime were not speaking.

“……”

“……”

“Huh? What’s wrong, you two? Let’s go.”

“Did you buy this? It’s a big house, even for the son of a nobleman ……”

“…… I don’t want to call myself a prince. The house I have now, it’s just a hut in the garden ……”

“Now, now, Lars is a little special so it can’t be helped. Come on, princes, let’s get along.”

“Oh, yes. Thank you, Prince Orden.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

I see, so he’s interested in Prince Ryde, who is also a prince? I was wondering why he came all the way here, but I guess that’s it. Well, I guess it’s okay that you’re only leaving me to guard you ……

When I opened the front door, I heard the sound of happy voices in the living room. As I was wondering if they hadn’t trained yet, Sephiro and Ash came to greet me.

“♪”

“Kuoon♪”

“Oh, it’s amazing that you noticed.”

“You’re a clever bear, as usual. No wonder Aina likes you so much.”

As my dad was stroking Ash’s head with his hand on his chin in deep emotion, Prince Ryde and Lime interrupted my dad and me.

“So cute ……!!”

“What is this creature! It’s just too cute!”

“Kuoon?”

“??”

Lime almost swooned as Ash tilted his head back on his butt, and Prince Ryde looked at him with his eyes. Ash seemed surprised to see a stranger so close to him, and after sniffing him a bit, he demanded to be carried by me.

“Hahaha, these people are not scary. Do you mind too, Sephiro?”

“♪”

He popped a flower on his head to welcome him, and Lime gently lifted him up to stare at him.

“Is this …… also a monster? Cute ……”

“I think this is a Treant and the bear is a baby deadly bear? Right? Lars is special, right?”

“Yeah, it’s awesome!”

“You’re lifting me up too high, Prince Alden.”

“Now, now. Let me show off my friends for a change. Oh, is Ryuuze here too? I’m coming up.”

Prince Orden rushed in at the sound of a voice coming from the back of the room, and we followed with a chuckle. He said he doesn’t go out much, and it looks like he’s having fun.

“I’m back.”

“Ah! Welcome back, Lars-niichan! I was wondering what was going on when Ash ran out. Dad, you’re here too!”

“Oh, you don’t miss Dad?”

“Yes! Tilia-chan, Trim, and Ash and the others are here, so I’m fine!”

“I, I see ……”

Dad hugs Aina, disappointed. So Tilia-chan and Trim also greeted me.

“Welcome back.”

“Welcome back, Lars-niichan!”

“I’m back, you two. Where are the Makina and the others?”

“They’re in the garden with Mom and Dad. Huh? It’s people that I don’t know.”

“Hello!”

“I see you have little kids too ……”

Prince Ryde bends down to greet Tilia-chan and Trim, and Lime blinks at him. I explained to them. 

“Aina is my sister, and this girl is my former teacher’s daughter. The boy is the son of our former maid. It’s dangerous over there, so we’re bringing the little ones over here first. If possible, I’d like to bring the children’s in the town here first.”

“Well, father and I will take care of that. So, let’s go to the garden!”

“Oh, Prince Orden! Ash, get off my back.”

“Kuoon♪.”

“!”

“How nice ……”

I don’t know if it’s because It’s been a long time since I’ve carried him, but Ash is wriggling around, it’s like I’m holding him, and he’s squealing with delight, and I can hear Lime mumbling to herself. I feel like she’s forcing herself to keep her chest up. 

We all walked out into the garden and went to the back of the shed–

“Whoa!? Tigre-sensei and Fath-san!?”

“Oh, you’re early, Lars! …… wait, is Prince Orden!?”

“It’s been a while, Ryuuze. I’d like it if you to come to visit me sometime, though?”

“N-No, I don’t think I can go all the way to the royal capital …… But, It’s been a while ……”

When Ryuuze stood up and lowered his head, Prince Orden laughed and put his hand on Ryuuze’s shoulder, happy to see him again.

“Welcome back, Lars.”

“I’m back, Makina. What’s the situation?”

“Oh, well …… as you can see, a mock battle between Tigre-sensei and master has started.’

“Tigre-sensei said he wanted to fight, but it’s too soon ……”

“It seems that he can give it his all if it’s an expert? Oh, you’re here too, Roen-san.”

When Verna-sensei bowed, Dad returned the bow with one hand up in the air.

“I had to greet His Majesty for a moment. Now, has the battle started yet?”

“No. …… Ah, they’ve started!”

The moment Ryuuze shouted, Fath-san took the initiative!

Tigre-sensei’s weapon was not the usual big sword, but a sword like the one I use. Of course, it’s a wooden sword made of wood, but the type of weapon is irrelevant for his skill, so it should be enough.

The next moment, however, I was taken aback.

“Whoosh! Swoosh! Haaaa!”

“Ha! Aaah! Damn, she’s going at my blind spot so accurately ……! She’s very good at controlling opponents with weapons!”

“The fist has a short reach, so it can be used in small ways. As soon as I get close, I’ll have the advantage!”

“Hahaha! That’s great! That’s the way it should be!”

To be honest, I can barely follow Fath-san’s movements with my eyes, and they’re nothing compared to the time when she’s an old lady ……!? I’ve seen her train with Machina a few times after she was rejuvenated, but I guess she was still holding back ……

Tigre-sensei also swung his sword with glee, and even at that speed, the fatal blow was well prevented by the hilt and belly of the sword. Mmm, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a fight I could learn from ……!

“Master, there, the right side is open …… ah, he can prevent that!?”

“Tigre-sensei, how about her feet!? Uooh, she can kick too!?”

“Master has no blind spots!”

Makina and Ryuuze also became heated and cheered. It’s not hard to see why, since they’re both their masters. Who will be the first to make the decisive move? 

After a few moments of fierce fighting, Fath-san’s fist and Tigre-sensei’s sword intersected and grazed each other on the cheek.

“Whew.”

“Heh ……”

“Oh ……?”

At that moment, breathing on their shoulders, they retracted their fists and swords and both bowed their heads. The fight seems to have ended in a draw.

“Wow, you’re a badass!”

“What are you saying. If I hadn’t been rejuvenated, I would have lost for sure. It was the first time in a long time that someone other than the old man had chilled my nerves.”

“Hehe, looks like I’m still going strong. Oh, look who’s back, Lars and Roen-san! …… So they came here too? Prince Orden is here too ……”

“W-Well, a lot of things happened. It was amazing, looks like I’m not quite there yet.”

“Well, I think Makina met a great mentor! Do you want to fight with me next, Lars?”

Before I could reply, Ryuuze and Makina stepped forward.

“It’s me and Makina next. We can’t afford to lose to the master.”

“That’s right! I’ll show you the results of my training!”

“Haha, It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Makina fight. She wanted to be a knight, but then she gave up her sword and used her fist instead, you really don’t know what happens in life.”

Tigre-sensei smiled as he sat down next to Verna-sensei, and at that moment a figure stepped out in front of Makina.

“Makina-san, can you fight with me?”

“Huh? W-Why is that!?”

“No, you said you wanted to be a female knight, and I have never fought a woman before. I’d love to have a bout with you ……!”

“L-Lime, I think you shouldn’t do that!”

“Prince, there are things you must do …… How about it!”

Makina looks at Ryuuze, confused by Lime, who opens her eyes and challenges Makina. Then, with a shrug of his shoulders, Ryuuze steps back, and it became a fight between Makina and Lime–.
