「The flustered hero-sa, Koone-tan! You are able to apologize properly!」

「No, it's doubtful that she is apologizing, or rather it feels like I' fixedly at the elder sister as co her little sister, and Koone as understanding various things somehow and did what she did

「No, hero-sama Koone will let you to eat the capital's specialty food! With Onee-chan'sa lot of my pocket money for this kind of tiht It seeiven with pocket money system

When Kouki was introduced in the audience hall, there was a tottering gra keel over anytiramps was actually civil official chief (a position like a prie of the financial affairs too

The tottering gra over pocket money toward Moana-sained such scene and for so, he guessed that he should say what ought to be said

「Moana-sa?」

'Isn't she too paht be black hearted in truth?' Kouki tried saying that while s wryly

But, the one who objected wasn't Moana, the objection caster

「? Hero-sairl to pay? Is that so? The penniless and jobless hero-sairl Koone will treat the penniless adult hero-sama! ……It's just a pocket money that Koone saved earnestly, but Koone will use it for hero-saet it already so please stoopp! The gaze of the surrounding is painful!」

Koone tilted her head with a wondering expression 'Is that so?' Kouki thought This little girl, she absolutely did what she did intentionally

Little girl these days was terrifying Kouki recalled the daughter of the deined the scene of that terrifying little girl who inherited her father's disposition taking the hand of this little girl before his eyes as actually black hearted, where the two of the ith each other His body shivered It was truly a terrifying ihtmare

Kouki casually irl to the best of his ability', like so

Then, at that ti at the road ahead While thinking 'she really move around abruptly huh', Kouki followed behind Moana as chasing behind Koone in hurry

「……That's」

Ahead of his gaze, Koone was skillfully slipping through the crowd of people Seeing that, Kouki unconsciously raised a voice of ad below thely, it seemed Koone sensed the awareness within the field of vision and gaze of people, so by avoiding that awareness she was able to take covert action that would ood ood sense She read the thought and feeling of people to a surprising degree To the level that canability」

「Sensing the thought……」

Moana spoke while watching Koone slipping sh the crowd

「That movement that cannot be noticed by other people, it see like, by looking, hearing, and feeling carefully, she can understand what sogage of the soldier force before……」

「Yeah Aht In a sense, it's really a of her little sister with a triu but……

When Kouki saw Koone sneaking into the back of soht that it was really a waste of talent

In the fruit store that seemed to be ran by a married couple, colorfully juicy fruits were lined up inside, the husband was livelily raising his voice to attract custo up behind him And then,

「BAA──NN!! This is the one who hallucinate to be a princess since who knohen! Kooneee!!」

「GYAAAAAAH, what is this-!?」

The husband was toppled over Suddenly behind hi art, and at the sa a loud voice There was no way he wasn't surprised

The husband looked behind hi on his butt, there he found Koone as s banzai and his shoulders sluain huh……」 his expression turned troubled

「Uncle Geor, Koone cae That's what I want to say, but please spare me from the surprise each tiular customer of this store, and she was also a habitual criminal who surprised the ohile she was at it

「Ahahahah, it doesn't matter about my husband, but Koone-sama, if you don't act in lecting his husband as still falling on his butt, the e built selected the fruit for Koone quickly Moana who chased after Koone handed over money toward the wo district

「I'm sorry about Koone every time She seem to be really pleased with the fruit of this store」

「My, this is yourout it seems Well, please don't worry about it Noforward to Koone-sa that」

Kouki watched over the exchange between Moana and the married couple from a step away

It see people to notice that the royal sisters were here, but affection could be seen fro that could be thought as coly close relationship But, by no htly at the sisters, it was obvious even just frolance that everyone held respect and affection

It seedom and the people was extremely small

But, what made Kouki curious wasn't that If it was about a royal family as openhearted and friendly, he was already acquainted with princess Liliana For Kouki this wasn't so fixedly at that point he was curious about, the aze and called out to him

「Oh, that person there……by any chance, is he the recently rumored hero-sama?」

「Eh? Ah, yes I'm called like that more or less」

「Oh h, I have to give a bit of extra Setting that aside, is so at this since so that, theon her waist

Yes, thesword When he looked really closely, not to hboring shops ere calling at Koone, and also , everyone were carrying the minimum arms

They were just a shop owner, just a person who see sword on their waist

Kouki asked with a bit of bewilderment

「Excuse ht? Not actually ahere in your off-day?」

「? Yes, yes Both of us has been doing business here for a long ti sword?」

From the look of the madam who didn't understand why Kouki asked her that, it see really normal in the capital, it didn't look like there was any particular circumstance

「About that hero-sah the soldiers are the specialist of the battlefield, but there is also no reason that fruit seller cannot fight, the <Dark Being> isn't the type of fellow that would let go of us just because we are a fruit seller right?」

「Ma, ht you know That is if this capital beco that it won't co, and die si like that, I'll have none of that It's nothing big, I have been slapping > is no concern at all」

After saying so, theher husband asa pathetic expression beside her repeatedly

Front line──Kouki felt it for real just how far the in this capital, all of theht when the ti their days with the resolve for all the capital's people to be counted as war strength

When Kouki looked at Moana beside hiaze dropped doith a silent expression She was feeling down──but that wasn't really it She was cal their resolve, it was that kind of expression

Koouki looked over his surrounding

Without knohether it was toht be thrown into battle with their right to live on the line The people were living with such resolve

Drip, so spilled out inside his heart

「Isn't it, scary?」

Theheartily she,

「That's, obviously it's scary! But see, look, the kukuri of our store, if it's for the sake ofto work a bit harder Right, dear?」

「Well yeah If we don't sell kukuri, ill then sell kukuri in the capital As a fruit store owner, I' to be unable to even eat a kukuri」

The shop owner shrugged and lightly washed the kukuri his wife picked before handing it over Kukuri was a fruit with an appearance like a yellow apple Koone quickly nibbled at it Her eating manner was so hearty it made him wanted to tsukko, Moana also put the fruit into herit」

Kouki felt his heart whirling froht away, thick sweet and sour taste spread inside his uess, then pluood flavor that he couldn't just eat at a ht!? This is Koone's recommendation, so that's natural Koone think that it's only natural!」

For so face more than the ed all over with fruit juice TheKoone's h she was the queen yet she was feeling obliged The husband looked at such Moana and s at them took one more bite of kukuri For this, for the sake of the people anted to eat this, the ht when the tiht ht sky

Kouki as led around by Koone until the sun fell was now leaning on the railing at the guest roo at the moon tiredly The capital was different froed and the city looked quiet

Even coldly the ht where it seereat view The sparkling water surface was also wondrously beautiful

Kouki's gaze dropped at theon the water surface without any particular reason while recalling Koone's to A sed on his lips

He recalled the later matter after he ate kukuri at that fruit store

The next place he was guided toas the best weapon shop in the capital

When Koone made her entrance with 「BAA──────NN!! This is the one who ed to reexamine the definition of princess! Kooneee!!」 froe with Kouki went 「GYAAAAAAAH, Koone-saainnnn!?」and toppled over backward

With the ferry rower to cross the oasis river that they visited next, she intentionally leaped out fro 「ZABAA────────NN!! The one on't be able to deny if asked whether she is a parasite in the palace!? Kooneee!!」「GYAAAAAAAH, why is it always from underwater every time!?」 the rower uncle yelled so while toppled backward and fell into the river……

But perhaps it was the usual thing, because the uncle returned to the ship nor 「Please sparewith Koone were dried using blessing art……

Then she circled behind the royal guard led by Spenser and the soldier forceled by Donar ere actually following Kouki and others while surrounding them in all directions, made her appearance 「BAA──────NN!! Don't think I'll be a princess till forever! Kooneee!!」, and suards and soldiers 「GYAAAAAAAAAH, your highness!? Why is your highness over there!?」……

The nickname of chaos in three seconds after appearance really suited her

But, for Kouki, Koone as such unprecedented toirl who loved prank anymore

「See, hear, and feel, is it……」

Perhaps, the people who Kouki ed words directly with today were picked by Koone People that possessed words that could possibly influenced Kouki the most

If not, then there was no way that Kouki's heart could be currently shaken to this degree even though they were only exchanging brief words

「Everyone……were really lively」

The people he le one of the They were proud of themselves

What should he do so he could have confidence about himself like theht like I'm asked in this world……will I understand?」

But, like that, ould be different than the time when he was summoned to Tortus……

Kouki shook his head He was about to fall into an endless spiral of thought again He was summoned, experienced his first kill, heard the circu here……his heart was co that, Kouki turned around

「Good evening, this is Koone」

「HIIIIIIIIIH!? Since when!?」

With a bright sht behind him when he noticed Kouki's screa this every tihts, opinions, and reports about ned to accept the opinion of 'the story is not progressing huh'

However, in order for Kouki to change, I want him to have a lot more encounter and experience, but then this chapter of the capital ress faster like this……

In case I write the story at theno matter what I do won't it……

And so, for the reader the development that is a bit tedious will continue, but this development will be limited to just Kouki arc so I wonder if I can wish for mercy fro of the Returnees」, after a week that person will make his entrance, so the time left for Kouki was also that one week……

However, Koone is standing out huhh……at first it should be like this though

When I wrote for soame you said~] you see…… (TN: Seea Gah Anyone can clear up about this reference?)

Shirakoet instant death……
