The "World Door" that connected earth and Tortus
Hajime who somehow settled down the chaos that was produced on the top of the tower that was built adjacent to the palace finally led everyone to go down the tower
Cheers rose inside the lift that was htened froave a glance at the the door that was connected to the palace
Then, right after that,
「Hajime-san!」
Pata pata pata The sound of footsteps and the voice calling Haji joy resounded
「Lily That's quic――oops」
Haji to comment how fast she came to receive them, but before he could finish, Liliana leaped onto his chest so his words were stopped
Hajihtly directed away the impact and received her pofuh on his chest There Liliana showed him a wide s else except Haji up buoyantly
「……Nn The person who forthrightly ignored us and charged at Hajidoh-san」 (TN: So far I also used Hairihi as the na cooler sounding)
Yue who seee gave introduction while her index finger pressed on Liliana's cheek and grinded
「Fuwa!? Everyone, all together! Please excuse my rudeness」
Liliana kept up the appearance as a lady while it was already too late Her cheeks were blushing while she gracefully separated herself fro with a lovely courtesy
「Lily-chan! Long time no see! You're healthy?」
「Hahaha, you're still a princess as ever」
「Sumire-okaasama, Shuu-otousa me at that time」
Actually, Liliana had already h she was one of the wive~s, it would be too pitiful for Liliana if she wasn't even introduced to Sumire and Shuu face to face until they went to Tortus soh it was only for a short time Hajime called Liliana to earth instead
At that time, the entrance of a real princess from another world, furthermore that princess was a wife of their son caused Sumire and Shuu's tension to cli every method available for Liliana
Liliana was evento Hajiovernment affairs, but the two's unexpected reception caused her to spontaneously be moved to tears
Liliana's appearance in dress, the refine anything, and then the tiara that was snugly placed on her head and so on, it was obvious just frolance that she was a princess Tomoichi and co, the parent~s who saw a princess of another world for the first tiaze
No, it was only Tolances at Hajime that seeirl he had laid his hand on-」
Haji
「……Tomoichi-san I believe I have mentioned about Lily before」
「Really sorry, Hajime-kun When I heard that you have other woel,intent then」
And so, he didn't hear most of the story Or rather, he iht after that he ate a backdrop froel and his consciousness was bloay
To to calm his heart
Kaoruko left alone her husband as like that and walked toward Liliana
「So you are Lily-chan, no, Liliana-sahter She said that you racked your brains very much for them all in the ratitude」
Kaoruko said that and bowed her head Tomoichi hurriedly stood by her side and lowered his head, and then everyone of Yaegashi fa 「Thank you for what you had done for our children」
Liliana opened her , please lift your head, all of you We were the one who involved them into our world's circu that I could Besides, what sos cos that Kaori and everyone else had done for us」
Liliana gently put her hand on Kaoruko's shoulder and made her lifted her face, she also prompted the others to lift their head too Liliana shter is this country's……no, this world's savior I should be the one who say thanks My heartfelt gratitude for having raising these wonderful people I express my thanks as the representative of this world's people」
'In addition, being able to becoether with thes that I will be proud of forthat Liliana bowed her heads deeply and displayed her gratitude to the parents
Kaoruko and Tomoichi, Shuuzou and Koichi and Kirino, and then Akiko too, they were staring at Liliana wordlessly Even Suiven the sa at Liliana with an expression that were at loss for words
Every single one of thee of indescribable emotion in the back of their heart It was close to a deep ee of feeling that was bigger that couldn't be described ord
This person said to them that she was proud to be able to rateful that they raised their children into such people
As a parent, there was no greater gift than this
When glancing to the side, Kaori and Shizuku and Aiko were blushing slightly with eazes were averted to other directions
Tohtly at their children's state, and then they lowered their head even deeper than before toward the princess of another world who gifted them with such lovely words and,
「We too, thank you」
They said
'I see So this is a real princess' The parent~s were in acceptance Ae the athtly
「And, for everyone to visit here……」
「Yeah, just as Lily guessed, it's for sightseeing Tou-san and Kaa-san threw a tantrued his shoulders and replied like that Liliana chuckled hearing that And then, 「If it's so ive hospitality to the best of my ability Hajime-san, what kind of plan do you have?」
「We haven't really decide anything If we are traveling normally, then no h, so I'uide them to every place」
「If that is the case then please, stay in this palace by all h……」
「Yes, please leave it to me」
It seemed that it would be Liliana herself ould receive them, so Hajime's expression turned a bit worried
After all, Liliana was super busy She was the one who practicallyclosely, but there was faint shadow visible under her eyes It was skillfully hidden using cosn had appeared on her face
「Are you all right? You are being pressed ork right? We can take care of ourselves you know?」
「No no, please don't mind it After all the on't end at all whether I rest for a bit or doesn't rest at all!」
「……」
How could she say 「The on't end!」 with such bright voice?
The occupation "princess" seemed to be a really black type of occupation Sadness was pooling inside everyone's eyes
「No everyone First please let me introduce my mother and little brother Okaa-sama earnestly wished to meet with Sumire-okaasama and Shuu-otousama Not just to Okaa-sama, please allow me to introduce the family of the heroes to other people too by all h spirits Haji her like that, even so they obediently followed her
Although the capital was in thethat would become the country's sydoe of race in the neorld, its construction was done the fastest with h there was no air of history that could be felt compared to the previous palace, it still had impressiveness that would move the emotion, especially for Japanese people who in the first place had never seen the inside of a western type palace
Like Toaze was hter chuckled sly at him
「Hmm, just how 」
「Ojii-chanGrandpa……I wish you will focus a bit aze was also busily 's construction, but it was her heart of adventure that wished to discover hidden route Looking there, Koichi and Kirino were also concentrating with the feeling like 「I will be the one who find out the nored Shizuku's exasperated face
Midway, the passed several servants, civil officials, andtheir peculiar conduct, Su expression toward their son
「Fufu, it's itchy so that kind of conduct fro-sama huh」
「……It's not like that title is self-proclaimed you know?」
Each time they passed someone, those people would naturally moved aside to both sides of the corridor and lowered their head After all a them there was Liliana of the royal faazes weren't directed to Liliana, but mainly to Hajime
The moment they saw Hajime, their body would turn stiff without exception It was apparent that their stiffness wasn't caused by fear, but fro their deeply didn't look like they were being forced at all Every single one of theht from their heart that they should do so, it was clear just fro fro theAlthough they didn't make any obvious move of flattery, their extraordinary emotion was transparent to see
Indeed, if such attitude and eyes were directed toward their son, as parents it surely couldn't be helped that they would be writhing a bit from pride and also itchiness
Hajime didn't pay any mind at all to the attitude of the palace's people, but as expected he was bothered by the gazes and expressions froaze with a really complicated look
Then, when they arrived at a crossroad, Haji from the corridor ahead
Different from other people, she didn't stop and lowered her head or ht line
「Liliana-sa dark brown hair swaying behind her and s them was Liliana's personal ht posture, her s expression was also filled with refinement As expected from someone as picked as the princess's personal attendant, she was a beautiful woman ould aze to the group of Hajime and co, she boith a beautiful ot taken aback and continued her words
「Liliana-sa right now If you are going to introduce everyone, then perhaps you should first go to where Randell-sa carefully, so like a sudden visit without any contact beforehand shouldn't be done when the other party was a queen of a country
Luluaria was a woentle disposition, but as exacted, it would be troubling for her to suddenly meet the family of the heroes ere their benefactor without any preparation whatsoever As a queen, it was necessary for her to prepare the appropriate appearance To say nothing of how this would be their firstthat, Liliana's cheeks blushed thinking how she was slightly too high spirited and she casted her eyes down
「Hellina, about contacting Okaa-sa at you it seeht away after the bell of the gate opening rang」
Hellina understood that Liliana would i else She didn't co her personal attendant was for the sake of arranging all the preparations beforehand
Truly an excellenthere was in broader sense) of another world and what's more a maid that looked like in a class of her own caused Sumire and Shuu's eyes to blaze fierily Their tension kept rising up without stopping
But there, Liliana suddenly showed a questioning face
「Hot in touch with Okaa-sama but……Hellina, you knew about the visit of Sumire-okaasama and everyone else?」
Hajime and co had met with Luluaria several ti them, Luluaria too wouldn't prepare her appearance hthearted relation between theet in touch with Luluaria , she are that Hajime and co arrived with their family this time
How? It was only natural to feel doubt about that
The answer to that was i Hellina after that
「Hajied for the rooms, lunch, and so forth Where will you all have your lunch?」
「For now, it will be after we look around the capital in general We haven't decide the specific」
「Understood Then, please contact ain at that time Also――」
「Wa-aaa~~~-t a second!」
Liliana-san intercepted
She cut in with a pose as though she was doing Kabaddi between the tas conversing like they understood each other as though it was only natural
「What do you mean by command? Since when?」
「I had received an artifact for co, I took action following the coiven That's all」
「Just now I told you that we can take care of ourselves right?」
'What are you doubting at?' Hajime and Hellina both tilted their head harmoniously
「Artifact for communication? Wait, don't tell !? It has cri really expensive, so perhaps spring has also coht but, don't tell me that's an artifact!? What'slike that you know!?」
Hellina-san smiled sweetly to the shaken princess
「Hajiies I've never thought that your arrival will be this fast, the writing of the list is still not finished yet」
「Don't worry about it This is also an unexpected trip for ed For the ht that part with me Will you look at it?」
「80 percent? That's fast…… Fine then, I'll take a look at it at night」
「Then, here it is」
Beside the ignored Liliana, the two did a transfer of soaze on the docued on histhis This quality in this short ti her head beautifully, the exclusive lady attendant of princess Liliana――Hellina-san
「E, eeeh? Hellina? Hellina is ht isn't it?」
「? But of course, Liliana-saht so Doubtful expression and fixed stare were sent to Haji face froaze froaze from the other parents
「Goshujin-sama, if thou wish to hath beautiful woman to abide by thee so much, then look, the best woman for it is here thou see? Give me command to thy heart content without reservation! No!」
The greedy disappointing dragon who couldn't hold herself back approached with rough breathing
「……Hajiht you like maid? Should I wear maid uniform?」
