Chapter 55 - Talks? (2/2)

As I thought, maybe I should have had her wait in her room on the second floor.

While I’m regretting, I turn around at my back.

“…… Could you come out? Ayla”

When I speak loudly, Ayla with A1 came out from the shadow of the pillar. Her expression is stiff in tension and her fingers are slightly trembling.

Aifa and Violette seem to be slightly puzzled by Ayla’s appearance.

“I’m sorry. It’s rude, but could you return to the second floor?”

When I said that, Ayla faintly shook her head and opened her mouth.

“…… If, if you will allow me, please let me also be with you.”

When Ayla said that with a trembling voice, she walked towards me. Violette’s eyes becomes wide seeing the approaching Ayla.

“…… Could you be Princess Letizia? Princess Letizia Ayla Azul of the Azul Kingdom?”

When Violette said that in a low tone, Ayla’s shoulders trembled.

Seeing that reaction, Violette’s eyes becomes even sharper.

“I thought it was a big lie which the Azul Kingdom spouted out in order to avoid the attack of the Empire, but you are really on the sky……”

It was said suggestively like she swallowed what she wanted to say. Maybe because she felt sensitive to their presence, Ayla stands next to me and is not looking at Aifa and Violette.

I look at the two and cough to get their attention.

“…… Anyway, did you now understand that a magician is not hiding in this hall?”

When confirm that, Violette raised her face and puffed up her chest.

“Is she also the reason why the Heavenly Country became an ally of the Azul Kingdom?”

Aifa frowned to Violette who sarcastically spoke.

“…… Then, how are these golems being manipulated? That three are similar to magicians, but it will also be difficult to control this single golem.”

As Aifa stared intensely in order to observe Yuri, Ditzen and Mea, I scratched my head while making a forced smile.

“Ah, no, they are all like my men……”

I said that while speaking ambiguously, but Aifa’s wide eyes trembled and looked back at me.

“…… Yours alone?”

“Th, these more than a dozen golems……!? Such nonsense!”

Seeing the extremely confused two people, Yuri, who had been silent until now, placed the teacup on the table and opened her mouth.

“It is true, you know? I was given the right to tour various places, but I couldn’t meet any magicians other than Taiki-sama. I think some sort of technology is involved, but I’m sure that Taiki-sama is managing all the golems by himself.”

Aifa and Violette become speechless at Yuri’s explanation, and Ditzen showed a wide smile and opened his mouth.

“No, no, no way, all the golems!? This is definitely an innovative technology which is not a traditional technology and it is incorporated into every single golem! I want to know” I definitely want to know it! What is it!!”

Yuri smiled awkwardly at Ditzen who screamed what’s in his heart.

“Ara ara…… Ditzen-sama’s illness is happening again……”

Aifa look sharply at the two carefree people and stared intensely at me.

“…… Taiki-dono. It’s impolite, but I have a request.”

The place quiet down at Aifa who begin to talk.

“Request, is it?”

As I repeat his words, Aifa nodded slightly. And he opened his mouth.

“I want to have a match with you in magic.”

Hearing such few words of Aifa, I reflexively let out a hoarse voice.

“Eh? Why?”
