061 – It’s hard to buy my own house! # 1

061 – It’s hard to buy my own house! # 1

A few days after the thieves rampaging near the town of Provence were wiped out by a meteorite.

To be precise, about a fortnight had passed.

The world, which had been in chaos due to the riot of vampires in 61st Street and the riots of wild thieves, was finally returning to normal life only after 15 days had passed.

“Dad, look at this! Cherry blossoms are in full bloom!

A lazy weekend afternoon.

Naru ran hard through the park.

As Naru said, the flowers in full bloom from the cherry trees planted in the park were very pretty.

Under each tree, there were a lot of parents and children with mats. It was clear that it would have been very inconvenient for us to go flower viewing if we hadn’t reserved our seats early.

Pair-.

Soon Brigitte clapped and said.

“I’m going to have one last rehearsal. What did we all say we should do when the Duke of Phrygia comes in?”

It’s a rehearsal.

I was a little fed up with the story I had heard many times before.

“Haven’t you had enough practice? I’m bothered.”

“You’re annoying! Didn’t the duke of the Principality of Phrygia give us a plaque tonight for subjugating the living? Maybe they’ll give you money or a title. Judas, can you become a noble too?”

am i noble?

I thought of myself as an aristocrat.

But I couldn’t imagine it well.

“It’s a little tempting to give a lot of money.”

I have my cerebral passive skill, so if I have money, my combat power goes down.

Still, raising children takes quite a bit of money, so I thought it would be a good idea to save a little.

“Dad! Look at this! It must be a queen ant! It’s an ant, but it’s huge!”

Shuk-.

At that time, Naru caught a fairly large ant and showed it to me.

It was a pretty cool ant.

– Ant it… !

Her crying sound was a little subtle, but her princess power was unexpectedly A-class.

What kind of ant has such a high princess power?

When I admired that it was black and shiny and looked pretty cool, Brigitte shook her head slowly while looking at Naru.

“That’s not a queen ant, it’s a princess ant.”

“A princess ant?”

“look. You have wings on your back here. A married princess ant takes off these wings and becomes a queen ant. In other words, if you have wings, that means you are still a princess.”

“I don’t know what it is, but it must have been the ant princess! Oh wow… ! Narudo is the princess of the back alley! Then goodbye, princess ant!”

Boo Woo-.

It was a princess ant flying toward the sky.

The sky where he flew was blue and clear.

I feel good.

It was drowsy and the weather was perfect for taking a nap.

“Dad, Naru is bored!”

Naru approached me and tugged at my sleeve.

It looks boring.

I said to Naruto.

“I am not bored.”

“… … !”

Naru made a very shocked expression.

It was as if there was no one to trust in the world.

I added my words to Naru, who started growling.

“I am sleepy. Let’s take a nap together too, Naru.”

“Huh… , Naru is not very sleepy! And if I sleep now, I won’t be able to sleep at night! Dad wants me to play with Naru… !”

Naru seemed tired of playing alone.

Do you want me to play with you?

In fact, I’ve already played with Naru all morning.

I played with you last night too.

“Naruya, earlier I played the princess. Now let’s get some rest.”

“Sure! Dad played the role of a princess! twice! That is unfair! Naru played the role of a fan maid serving the princess!”

“Hi-Hi.”

Soon, Naru spoke to me as if making a compromise.

“Then give me Morumoru.”

“Morumorura, are you talking about this guy I’m sleeping on like a pillow?”

– Meowong.

I was lying on the anvil.

It felt good because it was soft, fluffy, and warm.

I feel like it would be nice to sleep on it from now on.

“This is no longer Morumoru, but my pillow.”

I said something mischievous to Naru.

Then, Naru was taken aback.

“Ugh… ! no! He’s not a pillow, he’s Naru’s Morumoru!”

“Then let’s ask Morumoru. If Morumoru is good, ying-ying-ying-cry, and if my pillow is good, meow-cry. You choose well.”

– Ying-ying-ying.

No, this guy… ?

To imitate the strange cries without worrying.

What kind of animal is he and how can his cry be so colorful?

While thinking about that, Naru sighed.

“Naru, I felt like I was going to get angry for a while, but I hold it in… ! Dad was busy with various things until the weekend!”

“Five.”

not even unique

Naru is mostly childlike, but there are times when she is thoughtful.

What is the power of education?

Come to think of it, Naru’s princess ability also rose from D to C-.

small step.

However, it was a big step forward in my 「Naru SSR Complementary Plan」.

Axis – the drooping naru.

“But Naru is bored! Today, it would have been nice if Cecile and Erzebet came to play together. What are you all doing?”

Cecily and Erzebetra.

Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the two of Naru’s friends.

Lately, Naru, Cecily, and Elizabeth haven’t been playing very well.

I wondered if Naru was being bullied——.

Of course, that was just my ignorance, and I knew very well why the two girls couldn’t be seen.

First, after Cecily was kidnapped alive, the curfew at the Ragdoll family became a little stricter.

That’s why it’s not easy to go outside without the servants.

Isn’t it a bit cumbersome-I wonder, but it’s better than losing the kids like cattle and fixing the barn.

If so, let Cecily say yes.

What about Elizabeth?

Elizabeth’s father, the pharmacist Ilgast, and I had some trouble.

To tell this story, I need to take my memory back to the day I slaughtered the living.

-I have something to say.

After saving Salome, I joined the group, and Ilgast, Elizabeth’s father, spoke to me. When I’m nervous that the atmosphere isn’t serious and I wonder if they’re recommending that I sign up for insurance.

He told an amazing story.

– I would like you to stop getting involved with Elizabeth. I hope you also tell Naru not to play with Elizabeth.

yes.

I’ve heard of that.

I was surprised because I hadn’t even thought of it.

Did I say that there?

– Ilgast. Do you know who I am and say that? I see it easily because he treats me comfortably. Originally, I’m a person you find difficult to even mix with.

I even made a fist and held it next to his face.

It was an easy-to-understand threat that even first-year elementary school students could understand.

Maybe he didn’t expect my attitude, Ilgast seemed very flustered, but he didn’t back down.

With his trembling body, he made an effort to look strong.

– Being entangled with Naru, I get swept up in bad things. Elizabeth is my only family. I can’t even lose this child. If you refuse, I will fight you.

you’re challenging me

I was honestly surprised.

and admired

It felt like seeing a parent fox running towards a hunter to protect its offspring.

To be honest, I raised my score for Ilgast.

Yes, every father has to stand up to villains in order to protect his one and only daughter. Even if the villain was a man called the King of Thieves.

A pretty great guy.

The daughter of such a man will grow up to be a young lady with high princess power, and if she can become friends with such a young lady, then Naru will also have a higher chance of becoming an SSR princess.

“Naruya, is Erzebet playing well at school?”

“Yes!”

Right.

Ilgast said to Elizabeth, ‘Don’t play with Naru,’ but children do not obey adults.

At that time, Brigitte, who was cutting the top of the strawberry with a fruit knife, said.

“What about Tywin? Are you having a good time with Tywin?”

“no! He’s not playing with us! Instead, we often go to see Hina. Hina lives in a village in Provence. They say they live alone without a mother or father. I’m not even going to school!”

Is it Hina?

Was it the pink-haired kid you saw then?

While searching for memories, Brigitte held out a plate full of strawberries to Naru.

“Naruya, then eat strawberries.”

“Ow, shack… ! Narubigi eats a lot of strawberries… !”

It was Naru eating strawberries.

Looking at Naru like that, I thought it would be great to have someone like a babysitter to take care of Naru.

Someone who would play with the bored Naru when his friends were away.

I wonder if anyone is good—I fell asleep for a while thinking about it.

* * *

“Ah, that’s annoying. do you have to wear a suit It is difficult to move.”

I frowned at the suit clinging to my body.

It was like being locked in a micro prison.

Brigitte said something to me.

“It wasn’t clothes that were made to be easy to move in the first place. It’s clothes made to make you uncomfortable, telling you not to move recklessly in a place where you have to be polite and formal.”

“really?”

Did the suit mean that?

As I was admiring it, Brigitte said.

“It’s actually a lie. I don’t know why the suits are made to be uncomfortable.”

“I see.”

I never thought I’d take a shot at Brigitte.

Brigitte was wearing a dress that sparkled in navy blue.

She was wearing a scarf or shawl made of fox fur on her shoulder, and she looked like a lady from a rich family.

However, Brigitte’s expression was quite rough.

It was because of Garot.

“Garot, it’s an event to meet the Duke, so can I go dressed like that?”

“I always dress like this. This outfit is the most comfortable to deal with demons.”

“Aren’t we going to face the devil?”

“The devil can appear anywhere. Much better than being caught off guard and regretting after losing something precious.”

Garrot seemed to hate wearing a dress.

To be honest, I couldn’t imagine that guy wearing a dress and smiling ho-ho-ho like an aristocrat.

anyway.

With that feeling, we got on the carriage that arrived in the evening.

Number 1 of the Principality of Phrygia.

The mansion of the Duke of Phrygia.

Even before entering the garden entrance, I saw a procession with a large number of carriages lined up.

Are they celebrities invited to dinner tonight?

There were also faces I knew.

“Are you civil servant Toretta?”

“Toret.”

Right.

Torret, a 5th grade civil servant.

She was a victor in life with a pretty and mature nymph as her wife.

He said.

“It seems my ominous intuition was correct. Jack Crocker was alive. Of course, now that I have confirmed his death with my own eyes, I can rest a little.”

he sat down in a chair

Seeing him drooping, it seemed that he was relieved that the troubles and worries he had suffered for a long time had been resolved.

I told him

“Then, since the request has been resolved, let’s ask for your kindness in the future.”

It was good in many ways to have connections with high-ranking government officials.

Of course, he didn’t seem very good.

“I don’t know if he was bitten by a dinosaur while trying to avoid a tiger.”

A fitting analogy.

Baba babam—then a great trumpet sounded.

Soon, people enjoying the party stood up one by one or turned their heads.

“The Duke of Phrygia is entering!”

The body that can be said to be the supreme power of this Principality of Phrygia.

He walked down the aisle.

“You are short.”

It was a height that did not seem to be half of me.

The golden beard and golden hair are exceptionally abundant.

It must be a tribe called dwarves.

Can I call you a dwarf?

He climbed up on the podium and said.

“Everyone is busy, so I’ll take care of the business quickly! I will award medals to the three people who have made the most contributions in this subjugation of the wild, so please come forward!”

Shuk-.

Brigitte stabbed me in the side.

Are you saying don’t make mistakes and do well?

A body that has practiced with Brigitte’s torch over and over again.

I stood in my assigned seat.

Then the dwarf duke shouted.

“First of all, to Prince Judas who defeated the chief thief, I will present a immunity ticket that can be used in the Principality of Phrygia as a commemoration for saving the Principality of Phrygia from danger!”

it’s immunity

Does it mean that no matter what sin you commit, you will be forgiven at least once?

Upon hearing this story, the surroundings were greatly disturbed.

“Is this really a good thing?”

“Isn’t he a more terrifying robber than Jack Crocker?”

“It feels like a tiger was brought into the house to chase the fox… .”

Everyone is wary of me.

It was evidence of the brilliance of intelligence.

They’re idiots if you’re not vigilant about letting king thieves into the city and even giving them immunity.

Of course, the Duke of Phrygia added that it was okay.

“And I’ll give you one of the mansions that Jack Crocker and his cronies have been foreclosureing!”

Five-.

it’s a mansion

It was a wonderful story.
