Chapter 195 - They're Still the Same as Always

Riding behind Fafnir-san for 30 minutes, the streets of Rigfores.h.i.+a finally came into view.

Its only been a few months since my last visit, but I feel nostalgic I guess the events that happened in the Sacred Tree Festival were that memorable.

A lot of things have really happened when I visited before. I also met Sieg-sans parents Rejnhardt-san and Sylphia-san.

The events that happened in Lilia-san, Lunamaria-san and Sieg-sans past And in the midst of a city that was in turmoil due to the Black Bears attack, I experienced a battle for the first time in my life.

Hmmm, but that Black Bear for her to change in appearance and become my important and cute follower You can really never know whats going to happen in life.

And then, I didnt really see for myself when Isis-san beat the invading Black Bears, but looking back on that day, I guess its that time the first time I felt happy that Isis-san earnestly feels love towards me

And after that, my encounter with the spirits at the harvest festival and Lillywood-san, the World King There really are lots of things that happened back at the Sacred Tree Festival.

Come to think of it, was it after the Sacred Tree Festival ended? It was when Sieg-san started occasionally serving me her home-made meal to me All of Sieg-sans dishes are home-style and have a gentle flavor, just the way I like it, and I was secretly looking forward to eating her home-made meal again.

[Unnn? Is something the matter?]

[No, its just that it should have only been a few months since we visited Rigfores.h.i.+a but Im kind of feeling nostalgic.]

[Indeed, I agree. Since the day we came to the Sacred Tree Festival, Kaito-san and I have changed a lot.]

[Eh? I changed?]

[Yes, you have become much more reliable than you used to be.]

[T- Thank you.]

Feeling a little embarra.s.sed to hear her unsarcastic praise she said with a gentle smile on her face, I was somewhat fl.u.s.tered, so I s.h.i.+fted my gaze to the view that could be seen from the window.

To be honest, I wondered how someone with Fafnir-sans physique, which had a length of over 100 meters, would get down but I felt surprised as only the carriage part descended slowly through Fafnir-sans magic, and gently landed in front of the entrance of Rigfores.h.i.+a.

Well, Im really glad that we werent brought down like this in the middle of the city I would have been too embarra.s.sed to walk out of my house if I had been in a situation where I had been sent home by something like a luxurious helicopter.

As I was thinking about this when I stepped out of the carriage with Sieg-san and thanked Fafrir-san for sending us here, Fafrir-san politely bowed his head in response before he returned.

Watching his magnificent flap of wings glide through the air for a bit, we headed to the city of Rigfores.h.i.+a once again.

The wooden walls surrounding the city of Rigfores.h.i.+a were much larger than when I had seen them before, and they had changed to the point where they could be described as wooden ramparts.

And in front of the place that looks like an entrance, theres a gatekeeper dressed in heavy equipment.

[!? If it isnt Miyama-sama!]

[Ehh?]

[Its an honor to meet you.]

[Errr, you know who I am?]

A woman, who held vigilance typical of a gatekeeper, quickly gets down on one knee and bows her head when she sees me.. Eh? Whats going on here? I dont recognize her at all To begin with, from looking at her ears, she looks like an Elf, but who is she?

[I am one of World King-samas followers.]

[Ahh, I see]

[Yes. We have received word from World King-sama to be courteous to Miyama-sama when you arrive.]

[]

Arehh? What the heck is this? I think I saw this kind of development a few moments ago.

[World King-sama said that she felt grat.i.tude for Miyama-san higher than words could ever express. We were told that Miyama-samas words take precedence over everything else.]

[I- Is that so]

[Kaito-san, isnt it about time you take over the world? Or are you perhaps thinking of taking it slowly and building your own country first?]

[Im not going to build any country.]

Apparently, the members of the Six Kings really are thanking me for Kuros situation, and they strictly ordered their own subordinates to treat me politely.

How should I say this Im grateful for that but Didnt they think that something like this would make me feel very uncomfortable!?

Magnawell-san, Lillywood-san even Alice, from even before them, also issued strict orders for their subordinates to obey me Seriously, what the heck am I supposed to do here

Even as we encountered all this tiring stuff right from the start, we finally managed to enter the city of Rigfores.h.i.+a but Sieg-san and I tilted our heads.

[Arehh? Rei-san and Fia-san are supposed to be picking us up here, right?]

[How strange. I made sure to tell them with a hummingbird]

Yes, in fact, when it was decided that Fafnir-san would drop us off, we sent a hummingbird to Rei-san and Fia-san of our estimated arrival time.

They replied that they would be waiting for us and were supposed to pick us up after we entered the gate but they werent here.

When I was about to wait with Sieg-san here for the two of them to arrive, thinking that perhaps, they were late because we had arrived earlier than planned I heard a familiar voice.

[W- W- What should we do!? We still havent prepared for an entrance]

[Kuh~ They arrived too soon What do we do? Fia, I guess we should just do the Split Cross here]

[Thats no good, weve done that before How about we do a Side Sway?]

[No, but Side Sway isnt flashy for us to surprise Miyama-kun it cant be helped, we have to release the Ultimate Scream!]

[T- Thats no good, Rei! We still havent succeeded in flawlessly making that entrance yet!!!]

Honestly, Im feeling more speechless than ever before.

I dont know what face I should have when I see this couple. who are probably much older than I am, hiding in the shadows of a building and seriously discussing how to make their entrance.

Sieg-sans face flushed with embarra.s.sment, and her shoulders were trembling at the sight of her parents.

[We wont make great strides if were afraid of failing Im always going to be a challenger.]

[Rei, youre so dreamy.]

[Fia, can you be by my side?]

[Yes, of course! Lets go together!!!]

[If you want to go that much, how about I send you to the realm of the dead right now?]

[ [ Eh? ] ]

Looking at the continuous shameful behaviour or rather, this farce of a skit that her family is doing made Sieg-sans patience run out, and she calmly called out to them, her fists tightly clenched beside her.

Thereupon, Rei-san and Fia-san slowly turned their heads, and when they saw Sieg-sans face, their faces turned blue.

[S- Sieg!? Since when are you here!?

[You could have just shut up and watched, but you had to shame your own daughter in front of Kaito-san over and over again Even after I asked you to take this seriously]

[C- Calm down, Sieg-chan!? Its important to keep a good hold on it!!!]

[S- S- Shes right, Sieg Father and Mother want to become adults who remember the purity in our hearts! Our hearts will always be young!]

[Would that be your last words?]

[ [ Eh? Wait a mo Gyaaaaahhhhhhh!? ] ]

Thereupon, Sieg-san, who had turned into a Shura, attacked them, and their miserable screams rang out in the streets of Rigfores.h.i.+a.

[Those two have quite a great relations.h.i.+p with each other Polish them a bit more and they should s.h.i.+ne.]

[Id rather if you dont go polis.h.i.+ng them]

[Ahh, thats right! Kaito-san! If youre looking for a souvenir for Alice, Id recommend the local specialty fruit sticks here!]

[Talking about souvenirs and all that stuff, cant you just buy it yourself]

As I watched Rei-san and Fia-san get beaten up by Sieg-san, Alice, who appeared before I knew it, told me that with her usual tone, to which I astoundedly replied.

[Well~~ Its just that I went and blew it a little bit the other day, so I actually only have 1R now Hah!? Oh no!?]

[Come here for a bit. We need to talk.]

[Ah, wait!? K- Kaito-san!? W- Wait, that just now was Ginyaaaahhh!? Ouchieouch!? Youll tear off my eaaarrrrrsss!!!]

It seems like theres also some stuff I need to do over here.

For the time being, while the parents and child have their quarrel over there Lets just correct this idiots distorted character while waiting until Sieg-sans one-sided scolding ends.

Dear Mom, Dad I came to the nostalgic city of Rigfores.h.i.+a, and I immediately encountered a situation that made us feel mentally exhausted. However, well, what can I say Rei-san and Fia-san Theyre still the same as always.

Serious-senpai: [Gafuuhh!?]
