The next
“When the former Holy Demon Lord ruled over the landthe people froreeted the day like this-”
Mahiro sloalked towards the sun rays that shone into the room
“ 'A newfilled with hope!!' ”
“The people froetic then Then, Prince, you should dance energetically too!”
Pariel clapped her hands
Inside the room were several court perfor as the narrator
Mahiro had these social dancing lessons every Wednesdaywas an important skill to have How could someone from the royal family not kno to dance?
“I say, Pariel, you're only an escort, who are you to think that you could you set my schedule? I'm the prince”
“You already said that yesterday This is Edelweiss-sah I don't dare to disobey her!”
“Telling excuses like this, aren't you asha people's lives”
Bam
“Eh? You were here, Edelweiss?”
“Yes, is there anything wrong?”
“Nothing”
“If Your Highness cannot take over the ement of the country, then at least you need to act like a prince”
Bam
“Like a princethen, I'm not the prince? Thendo you mean thatI'm only a body double for the real Mahiro who's so truth has been revealed?!”
“Edelweiss didn't ination”
“Si and stuff like this”
Mahiro sloalked towards Pariel, until their faces almost touched
“P-prince?”
Pariel's heart unconsciously began to beat faster
“Give me your hands”
“O-okay”
“Put your hands on my waist”
“Okay”
“Front, front, back, back, right, across, acrossLook, isn't this really obscene!?”
Wham
“Isn't right and across the sa?! And wait, how is this obscene?!”
“All in all, I just want to dance more soulfully!?”
“Soul? Ful? Eh?” [TL Note: Mahiro said soulfully in English]
”And so, I'ain”
Mahiro stealthily watched Edelweiss's face, but her expressionless face, so like ice, had such an inti
”That hat I first thought but never mind”
“Do as you like”
“Yahoooo~!”
Mahiro weirdly cried out, and sprinted out of the roohs of relief, and started packing
“EehEdelweiss-saht?”
“What are you still here for? Go chase him”
“Huh? Ur him back?”
“His Highness plans to stop the Imperial invasion by himself”
Pariel doubted her ears, because Edelweiss was someone ould never joke around Furthermore, the Empire was not supposed to make a move yet, so what exactly was there for Mahiro to stop?
“If we ignore hierous situation But, if you stay by his side, he wouldn't be so reckless So, you have to follow hiers you are to let him act as he pleases Understand?”
“II understand! I will follow the prince, and guard him!”
Pariel hurriedly bowed, and then ran out of the room to chase the prince
(EhWhat did shethe country!?)

So, Pariel changed out of her uniform, and switched into a casual outfit much like the one she wore yesterday She followed Mahiro to the rear garden of the castle
“Prince, weren't you going outside the castle?”
“Of course”
Even though this was the rear garden, because of the sheer size of this castle, there was a clearing here where one could go riding or have a sht There was a stable, a stop for carriages, and even a garage where the auto rode on ca here was probably to head to the repair area
A strong waft of machine oil was ie warehouse There were nu repaired here
“Did you coe?”
“That's right, I came here to rent out my favorite horse”
“I thought you said yesterday you didn't kno to ride horses”
“In this orld, of course there are horses I could ride”
If that was the case, then wouldn't it be faster to just send someone to prepare a horse? It was probably because the prince was used to sneaking out of the castle; this was probably the first time he could walk out so brazenly, so he probably didn't know of such a convenient method
“Do you want me to have them prepare one for you?”
“Nay, nayI came here for that”
Mahiro pointed towards a cloth-covered object placed at the corner of the warehouse At this, everyone in the warehouse becahtened
“He's really going to ride it?!”
“The prince is finally going to use that?!”
“Is it really fine if we don't stop him?!”
It suddenly became a chaotic scene
The head of the les, came over with an apprehensive expression Pariel often rode horses, so of course she knew him by face
Older officers like him were all pretty strict and hard to handle, and this person see as how he dealt with iron machinery, not horses, and had the title of the “Stubborn Boss”
“Prince! Are you really planning to ride this?!”
“YES!!”
Mahiro, in the blink of an eye, gave him a thumbs up
“The day has finally come, boss!! Are you ready?!”
“Oohoooohhhhh, Prince!!”
The head mechanic looked like he was about to beat someone up Pariel had no idea why he was ive the prince a spanking Just as she thought this--
“Ahhh, I'lad that I chose to follow you, Prince!”
“Huh!?”
Pariel subconsciously shouted
It see froles to wipe away his tears of happiness
“I never expected that I could really see this monster in action!”
The head hter
“TheWe're onlyone part now, and that's you, Prince Mahiro!”
“Good! Look, Pariel!!”
Mahiro lifted the cloth covering the object, and underneath was
“This is my beloved horsethe “Bronco of Steel” ZX-7RR--!!”
“Wait, isn't this a bike?!”
Obviously it was a relic from the old civilization
Compared to the few Cub class bikes in the shop that could be seen, this bike was far larger Seeing how huge it was, it must've been stuffed full of parts on the inside
“Boboss, where did you get this thing?”
“Huh? Of course, it was made from the parts that Prince collected!”
It see that “Since you're alith him, why didn't you know of this?”
“I actually have a secret o there to pick up parts, and then buy or custo parts from the Veronica Trade Allianceand then!”
Mahiro gestured towards everyone in the repair facility
“Then I request everyone to put together my machine!”
“Wow”
Before they realized it, the tere surrounded and eeks
“A”
“It must be super fast”
“It definitely can go at two hundred kilometers”
“So terrific”
Chatter chatter chatter
“Prince, don't be so stingy with this! I want to play with this toy even if I have to kneel and beg for it!”
Chatter chatter chatter
(Soso scary!)
Pariel could only retreat backwards in tears
Vrooom!
“!?”
Pariel reflexively claine
Including the noise from the exhaust, the cacophony of noiseswas completely different from the Cubs
“Ahahahaha!! Pariel, this is the real neighing of a horse! And this beat of the heart! It's truly the union between rider and horse!!”
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
Every-tily reached into the heavens ca mechanics all shut their eyes and were in a stupefied state, alhest quality
(Abnormaleveryone here's abnormal!)
Not only did curious people cohts ca that a monster had appeared
“Ho, Pariel!!”
“G-goare you planning to ride this out?”
No ain Pariel cliloves on, and Mahiro put on his protective goggles
“It's tihest speed record in the Middle Plains”
“Huh? You aren't going to find a neay to dance?”
It see was just another excuse Pariel's co and cheers of all the mechanics
“Nice, Prince!”
“Don't die!”
“Come back alive!”
“Don't die!”
“You can do it!”
“Don't die!”
“Don't die!”
“Hey, why are there so many voices worried about your life?”
Suddenly a safety helhtened
“Bos-boss!?”
She only saw a thumbs up from the head mechanic
“Don't die, young lady! Good luck!”
“Wh-?”
Vrooooooooooooooooooooooooom!
“Ahhaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Part 3
It actually wasn't very hard to get used to riding on the bike One would think that they would be faster from the sound theyhorse The only difference was that everyone turned to look at the Pariel feel very e the bike
After a while, the two arrived at the south gate they were at yesterday The guards thought that there was an incident because of the sound, so they all rushed out fully armed
“Ah, it's just the prince”
“Wow, is that a new machine?”
“Prince, riding a horse is definitely better than riding a machine!”
(I think so too Horses won't be this loud, and they're cute too)
Though, Pariel suddenly thought, s that others liked He seems to be very welco soldiers here, as well as with the mechanics back in the repair facility
(This is the prince's good pointI guess?)
Then, even the captain ran out frouard station
“Prince, did you need anything today? As per your orders, we haven't had any inspections ever since yesterday”
“I's The first is to bet the nahts squadron, and break the speed record on the Middle Plains The other”
The bike was loud even when it was parked Pariel was unable to hear what Mahiro said clearly, but the captain who heard opened his eyes wide
“Prince, are you really going to!?”
“Listen, you ate Properly convey this to the people at the north gate If I do not return before sundown, then go to Edelweiss for instructions Understood, captain?”
“II can't accept this, this isn't soo and do”
“Ahahaha, let's go, my beloved horse!”
Vroooooooom!!
Before long, the prince and his guard faded into the distance, growing smaller and smaller
“He really went”
“What happened, captain? Why do you look so pale?”
The captain stroked his beard and then answered
