The old man who came out of the secret room after secretly giving instructions to continue the investigation looked a little tired.

“Because I was having trouble dealing with Ex.”

If you don’t want to work, it doesn’t seem to do any harm if you leave it alone, but the problem is that it has disaster-class abilities.

“A sleeping dragon, so to speak.”

“It’s scary if you step on its tail poorly.”

“… Phew. Then protection or isolation. But I don’t have a foothold for that.”

“Well, what should we do?” While thinking about this, I walk down the empty corridor.

“Are you worried about something?”

“An angel suddenly appeared.”

“No, it was the princess.”

She stares at me with her sparkling blue eyes full of curiosity.

“Whoa!?…Princess. You suddenly called out to me and your life expectancy has been shortened.”

“Fufufu. If you don’t mind, I’ll listen to your worries. Please leave it to me.”

The old man, whose heart is still pounding because he was too caught off guard, carelessly consulted him.

“Thank you, Princess. Actually, there’s something I don’t understand. What exactly do people who don’t want to work want?”

“Hmm. Only the person himself knows. For example, it’s not always the same whether it’s a woman or a man. Why don’t you ask him?”

“That’s right.”

“I feel relieved that my worries are lightened.”

“It seems that we relied too much on relics from the ancient kingdom and almost overlooked the obvious.”

“I’m glad you asked the princess.”

“Thank you, princess.”

“No, no. Now let’s go and ask the archmage himself!”

Cold sweat ran down the old man’s back as the princess laughed and said, “You got caught.”

“Ah, I shouldn’t have asked.”

“Princess, old man’s troubles are getting bigger.”

“This is different. Troubles are meant to be shared.”

“I don’t think I can win against a giggling princess.”

“Well, let’s set up a meeting with Ex-sama in the near future. Here are the materials. Please keep this in mind in advance.”

“Okay. Fufufu”

“The royal family will not move immediately.”

“Foreshadowing.”

“Prepare a guide.”

Make arrangements and decide the date and time.

In addition, the venue, food, music, and even the clothes you wear that day are all included in your calculations for the other party.

Sometimes it’s to show authority, sometimes like a close friend, and naturally get the results you want. Therefore, it takes some time. You can say it’s on purpose.

It was a mischievous child who skipped over such adult affairs. It was an old man’s miscalculation that the sense of time “in the near future” was completely different between adults and children.

Princess Lula, who skimmed the report from the undercover, acted quickly.

“As for how fast it is, it’s already between transfers.” Too fast.

“Specify the coordinates, a villa in Forest End. Archmage. I’m going to see you now!”

In the transfer circle, he lifted his fingers high and made a decisive pose, then disappeared. The exclusive escort follows in a hurry to chase behind.

By the time the old man wondered about the princess’s laughter at the end, he had already left. Victory or defeat had already been decided by the time we consulted.

“Princess? Princess, where are you? Princess ah”

“Around here, right?”

At the villa, the princess changed into town girl clothes and walked around the downtown area.

“A brown-haired, dark-eyed boy with a puffy face?” No, a young man catches my eye.

This is because the young man was wandering around looking for a back alley with a skewer in his hand.

“I’m excited.”

“Um, what are you doing?”

“Uh, um, I thought I’d give some food to a stray cat.”

The princess’s eyes glistened as she imagined it to be fluffy.

“I’ll help you!”

“No, um”

The boy ran after a girl in a slightly expensive-looking outfit who offered to be his assistant without permission and went into the back alley.

“I feel like I’m over here.”

“I know, don’t run”

“There was someone I was looking for in the back alley.”

“It’s a sleeping cat.”

However, he is not the person the young man was looking for.

“Hurry up”

“Um, do you want to eat?”

The young man presented the skewers to the long-haired white cat as the princess looked at him with expectant eyes.

After sniffing the scent and yawning, the sleeping cat happily closed its eyes and went back to sleep.

“I fell asleep.”

“Yes”

As we were looking at each other, the person we were looking for passed by in the back alley.

The girl who approached happily was the slum girl the young man was looking for. A unkempt head with black hair. supple body.

Perhaps it was a cat beastkin, but its tail was wagging.

“Leave the princess you met for the first time.”

“Ex, yes. Here you go.”

“Can I have it again?”

“Good”

“Thank you, Brother Ex”

“bye bye”

“It was completely a world of two people.”

The main character, Ex, was unemployed, but contributed to the cat girl. The princess stares at me.

“Ugh.” awkward.

“By any chance, are you the Great Wizard Ex?”

“Well, I’m called a flawed wizard.”

When I answered that, my sparkling eyes clouded over.

“I’m sorry, I was actually looking for the great wizard who made this mysterious magic tool, and I couldn’t help but find it with the same name.”

“When you see the stick you’re holding in your hand, what?” I saw it somewhere.

“It looks like a stick made by the Viscount.”

“May I see it?”

“Here you go. Fufufu, that’s good. It’s cool and very light.”

The thing that the girl I met for the first time boasted about as if it was her own achievement was the stick I made.

“I might make it”

“!?”

When I said that, the rich-looking blond girl began to rummage through her item bag. While looking up with glittering eyes of anticipation, he held out two cylinders with expensive workmanship.

“Wind, ice ball! x2, yes”

“When I received it and cast a spell on it, it seemed that I was able to meet my expectations.”

“As I thought, Ex-sama was a great mage.”

“Am I the Archmage?”

“Even though I can only use beginner magic.”

“But it didn’t feel bad.”

“I was looking for you”

“I don’t know where you found out about me, but is it unusual for children?” Don’t break your dreams, let’s meet your expectations.

“You’ve noticed. It’s a secret to everyone else that I’m an archmage. It’s also a secret that I contributed to a little girl.”

“Yes! I understand.”

“I became an archmage.”

“In that child.”

“Fufufu, it makes me laugh.” But isn’t it bad? Be satisfied with your day today.

The princess returned to the castle after dark while chatting with Ex.

An angry old man was waiting for me.

“I spoiled you too much.”

“Princess, where have you been all this time! I’m worried.”

“Fufufu, I have a gift for that old man.”

Saying that, when I looked at the item that was handed to me, it was a mysterious magic tool, although the cylinder was different? was. Why are you here?

“I’m in trouble, old man. Ah. I owe Mr. Ex.”

When I looked at the princess in surprise, she smiled to my satisfaction.

“Certainly, I’m in trouble. I can’t let the royal family ow me. I have to invite you right away.”

Even the old man smiles.

“Securing a clue to contact EX!”

mission complete!

It seems that the princess’s going out without permission must be overlooked. Good grief.
