Arifureta After IIThe Obstinate Princess Lily
AN: The title is different from my advance notice?
Yes, when I notice I had written too much and I couldn't reach until part time work leader Lily in one chapter
tap tap tap tap- The sound of typing keyboard resounded The force of that typing was fierce It was as though it represented they typing person's fury, or perhaps their desperation That sound ruined the chic atmosphere of the office that was consolidated ooden furniture
「Uu, there is work today too Tomorroill be work too The day after tomorrow too, and the day after that too and the day next after that will be work too-! Even though, I'm not a princess anymoreee!」
The sound of tap tap tap- finally becathe keyboard were leaving behind afteriertips was to the degree that gave such illusion
The one as skillfully using the modern earth device as a matter of unpleasant necessity with teary eyes for soirl who once was the princess of Hairihi Kingdom at another world Tortus――Liliana S B Hairihi, that person
Liliana was fourteen years old when the other world su was carried out with a face that still had childishness re in it at that time But now she was about to reach twenty years old The six years and also the rich experience she went through during that time had polished her beautiful face even further
Her hair that was like flowing gold threads, her eyes that were overfloith gentleness and intelligence, her rose-colored cheeks, her gracefully ance and personality that were oozing out even without her particularly doing anything, all those factors were enough to captivate anyone regardless of gender
In fact, Liliana who accepted the invitation of her beloved andimmense fame――no, rather than fame it was more accurate to call it worship from a lot of people
It showed fro sound resounded a bit loudly, and when Liliana responded, a woman entered the room
「Excuse me, your holiness About the additional material for the case that will be discussed at the afternoon……」
「I had finished it-! Yes, I finished it already! After all I was dealing with that since six o'clock in thea business suit looking perfectly like a career woman was handed over the script of document by Liliana in a snap
The wohtly opened wide her intelligent eyes and she accepted the docu「As expected from your holiness」with a voice that was cranation that Sandra called Liliana with――"your holiness"
Yes, it wasn't "your highness", but "your holiness"
They were at earth, where there was only limited number of people who could introduce themselves as royalty, so naturally Liliana had abandoned her title as princess in this world, but the title "holy woh in replacement
This was exactly the reason, why Liliana was teary-eyed since six in theskill that was like a storrumbles of complain
「Your holiness About the enquiry fro of "Hairihi Faith" at the conference today……」
「It's not "Hairihi Faith", it's "Hairihi Volunteer Association"! ……cough- Anyway, give them the answer as indicated in the document This is the draft Please send it to the media correspondence departree, but please caution them earnestly that they are not to use any words that will endear to any faction」
「Acknowledged After all this will affect the hundreds of thousands of the believer frohly Also, the madam chief of Britain's state security department has called so about that」
「It's not "believer", but "association danese-san to Kousuke-san Also, I think that Vatican will also coate that to Kousuke-san too He has a relationship that knows each other with the leaders of both organizations, so delegate it wholly to hi If he try to escape, please tell hi-saeneral that will be our conference partner, it seeuh He, he arrives really quickly I guess that shows just howexpectation and suspicion If the conference this tinize our "association" forroup"……ill be able to clear the strange s, and I too will be able to throw all the holesale to so hand to a lot more people No matter what, we have to sweep away the perception to our association that see us as a suspicious "newly rising religion"……」
「That's right By using that kind of official stance to ion, and so of your holiness's sublimity will spread to the whole wor――」
「It won't spread- I' soanization until the end, it's not a religious organization I told you- Or rather, recently I tended to ignore it, but don't call me "your holiness", but "chairman"!」
「Yes, chairman-sa brackets there right! It's plain to see you know! Ah, wait, what's with that expression that see clearly』! You co!」
While Liliana's voice that was , Sandra was directing a gaze that was filled plenty with affection and respect toward the holy woman as alsoher leave
Inside the office that was filled with silence onceexcessively loudly
Liliana dropped her waist powerlessly on the chair and hung her head dohile holding it with both hands
And then, she ht from her heart
「How, did it turn out like this……」
Now then, Liliana was supposed to be a norirl without any title whatsoever in earth, but in less than two years her believer swelled up to hundreds of thousands and she got worshipped as the founder of a new religion――a "holy woions were unreasonably cautious toward her, she had overcome brutal events like scheme behind the scene and assassination, and now she was preparing for a conference with the top brass of the United Nations in order to turn her association into a publicly recognized volunteer organization where after that a press conference that would be broadcasted to the whole world would be opened In the end, just what kind of sequence of events thatinto such situation……
Liliana put her hand on her sto cute sound「kuu~」in protest of her failure to eat breakfast while her gaze was looking at the faraway distance outside theAnd then she began to re in these two years and few ht sunlight shining in, there was only the sound ofpen scratch scratch and the sound of the clock that sounded like a chirping bird chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp- resounding
It was a really cal paperwork
But, the owner of that room was in a state that couldn't be said as cal the pen didn't stop, but it was only her gaze that kept glancing briefly at the clock many tihed, then her shoulders dropped after ht of the paperwork……she then started reducing the ot dejected……
「Liliana-sa, but no matter how ress faster you know?」
「-, I, I' you know?」
「No, I'ety like that」
Lilianathat pointed by her exclusive maid
「Today is the day your beloved husband can cross over here isn't it? Starting from that "Kouki-kun is abducted too -saed into turmoil, so it has been five months since he can properly take time to meet you That's why, isn't it fine even if Liliana-sama doesn't force yourself to do your duty just for today?」
「I cannot do that If I shirk offthat person as excuse, then there will be noto my resolve that decided to be left here in this world」
Thewryly
A h at that time Liliana orked to death with the revival of her motherland, but she still fiercely appealed at Hajime firmly Perhaps that also worked in her favor, that after many twists and turns (especially with the first wife), shewith Aiko as also fiercely appealing similarly like her, and she spent a brief time of happiness, but……
Liliana was a princess
Further of the country was absent, and her younger brother that would be the next king, Randell was still i hard, as expected there was a lido that was done by Liliana who had gathered reat effort as the co indispensable for the kingdoh Liliana was conflicted, she made the decision to not abandon her position It was unknohether Hajme and others ould return to their hoate to Tortus once more And so, there was even the possibility that it would beco for their whole life
Even so, Liliana couldn't abandon her motherland
Liliana told Haji She declared that resolve of hers, however, Hajime smiled happily instead Liliana remembered that smile clearly Of course, that smile wasn't because Hajime was happy that he could part with Liliana If that was actually the reason, then Liliana ardless of her resolve or anything……
Anyway, that deterreat reason, and there was no doubt that she had accoht before the return to earth, it ithout saying how the resolved Liliana was blazing more than usual
「……Princess Please come back to reality And then, please wipe up your drool Your face has turn into so that must not be shoard other people」
「Hah!?」
Liliana had gone coht she spent with Hajime The exasperated voice of her exclusive maid caused her mind to return to reality with 'hah' And then, she took out her handkerchief and thoroughly wiped the saliva trickling from the corner of her lips
「Princess and Hajime-sama's relation is really har the maids also still hasn't stop Sireat……」
The words of her exclusive an to deal with the paperwork in high-speed to hide her eh-speed paperwork processing, perhaps it was just as expected frodo" this time, ill you do?」
「What do you ly at the ee and she asked with a serious expression
「With the help of the artifacts that Hajime-sama exclusively left behind for the crafts speed Seventy percent of the whole has been finished in this one year and half The plan for the new royal capital's foran」
「……That's right Certainly, with the help of everyone from the empire and the beast built by also taking in the style of many nations The functional beauty of the een, and then the traditional beauty of Hairihi Kingdom……it's a wonderful city that harmonize all of those」
「Yes」
「It will become a symbolic city that is worthy for the new era that has freed itself frorand celebration that include the fresh start toward the new era」
Liliana's gaze was directed froaze there was a beautiful townscape taking shape If she sharpened her ear, she would be able to faintly hear the hustle and bustle of the reconstruction and the work activity
Liliana's cheeks loosened and her eyes squinted fondly at that She felt like it orth it for her to work so hard there was barely any time to sleep for her
「Yes This reement of the e as Liliana-sa De", there won't be any problem that can occur that easily」
「……What is it that you want to say?」
Liliana returned her gaze from the ard her exclusive maid A suspicion dwelled inside her eyes The exclusive maid told her entleness and syh……」
「Yes His highness Randell-sarown remarkably, he also has excellent retainers with him The reconstruction of the capital and the relationship with other countries, they have reached a point where we can take a breather It'sin the front, the kingdo forward even then Then, Liliana-sama, don't you think that it's better for Liliana-sa after your own happiness?」
「……」
'Is that really the case?' Liliana questioned herself while staring once more at the new capital outside the
Even so, certainly it was the fact that recently the here it absolutely needed Liliana to be handled had decreased reht would run toward her beloved every tiht when she was all alone by herself, constricting Liliana's heart painfully
「Hajime-san……」
「Fufu, isn't that the answer, Liliana-sama?」
「-」
A voice that wished for her beloved unconsciously leaked out The exclusive heddelightful or perhaps so seen through like that, she averted her face with her cheeks reddening
The exclusiveLiliana like that Surely, if in this place there were other servants ere serving under Liliana, every one of the their ht of respect and gratitude to Liliaan
Liliana was already loved by the servants and also the people due to her personality And yet she didn't stop just there, when the capital was once attacked, she slipped out of the palace by herself and went to call for help Such event ell-known due to a certain y drink
In addition, it was also kno she tried to offer her body to the edoendary decisive battle
While the people of the capital were sent to evacuate toward the empire, they asked what she would do with unease in their heart To that, Liliana said with a sh the royal capital will becoht, then ill fight
She became the commander-in-chief and took the command of hundreds of thousands of warriors in the battle that staked the existence of ure was spread far and wide by the surviving soldiers, mercenary, and adventurers
Her fame had risen up with a ardless ofor old, in spite of race or occupation
That hy, the exclusive h already」with conviction That it was the general consensus of all the people
Liliana threw her gaze to outside theonce aze of the exclusive uous expression, unable to be convinced whether it was really fine for her to be liberated from the responsibility as royalty and chased after her own happiness crossing over the world
But, at that ti That was a signal froate opening" The sign that the door to another world was opened
「- Hajiloominess until just now vanished sohtly in a flash like a child She said to her exclusiveout of the roo for reply
The exclusive orously
Hajiate was jumped by Liliana with obvious happiness And then without stopping she pulled Hajiuided him to her own room
Midway, they passed by the servants of the palace and several nobles, each time they faced Hajireatly softened seeing Liliana who kept tugging on Hajih to say「Hurry-, hurryyy」
Every tireet them politely, but it seemed she didn't notice their warm expression Surely after some time passed and she calmed down, she would beco a troubled sed cutely At Liliana's room, he received black tea that was personally brewed by her
「Nevertheless, today Hajiht that Yue-san and others would surely co a tea snack that looked like cookie on the table while asking Hajiuely lookedalone with ……couldn't possibly be true」
Liliana cheeks faintly reddened and she dropped her waist on the chair with a thuaze to wander and her body to fidget around without any composure And then, Liliana became unable to endure Hajied the topic
「And, what about Hajime-san? It seemed that you were really busy froh……」
「……That naht on?」
「Yes, well After all, after that other world sued Hajiht? I heard the story that at the third sued in with teary eyes while also dragging in Hajime-san That story is already spread around here Ryuutaro-san and others were telling that story looking really amused」
Hajime half-smiled at Liliana's words
Just as Liliana said, Kouki ent into an atonement journey in this Tortus, but in the ot summoned into another world soh many twists and turns he saved the world but……
At that tied by Kouki's childhood friends and his wife rushed to where Kouki was for assistance, just when the series of event were resolved and they were going 'no, let's go hoh to say「Next one, please take care of ii~t」
Kouki was on the verge of tears while yelling「I don't want anyhtly at Hajiot flustered「Wai-, you-」but it was already too late
While the childhood friends and wives were staring in a daze, both of the for the third ti at that world, they got summoned for the fourth time Kouki was a softhearted person, but as expected it seeoddess that requested「I want you to save the world」, and in front of the watching Haji up like this! Do your best-, do your best! You are a goddess right! If it's you then you can do it- You can do it by yourself! You surely can! Believe in ive up, then it's the end for the world y'know!」
Like that, entrusting hie it so astounding It was a heartfelt insistence to the degree it made Hajime to be unconsciously in admiration
