10 CHAPTER VIII Entertaining Princesses 2 (1/2)

My lunch with the emperors is over.

We all headed outside to take a hot spring bath.

I've never been to a hot spring since I came to this world, so I was secretly looking forward to the hot spring since the princess asked me to entertain her.

When I went outside, I saw three carriages.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Why did you go to the trouble of having three carriages when you only needed two?

Well, I've got three carriages for you to ride in, and you'll split up.

Dad, how do you want to divide it up, by the way?

Of course, it's me and Orton, Kara and Ashley, you and Shelia.

'I knew it, didn't I? .....

'We do, but I'm sure your moms haven't seen you in a while and have some things they want to talk about in private, so what can you do? So, Shelia and Leo, you two can get along and ride in the carriage together.

And as he said that, he pushed me back.

I lost my balance and took a few steps forward and just stopped in front of the princess and our eyes met.

''Well, um, nice to meet you...''

I awkwardly said a light greeting anyway.

Then we don't need to sit around and talk, let's head to the hot springs. Everybody get in the carriage.

My father gave me and the princess a ride in the carriage, pushing me and the princess back .

Having succeeded in getting Leo and Shelia into the same carriage, Diorc spoke to his best friend Orton.

''It's kind of nostalgic to see those two.

Yeah, we were five years old the first time they made us ride in a carriage together, and it was awfully awkward.

'Yeah, as someone who has to entertain, I was wondering how to talk to you - but that was only the first time, and we quickly became friends, and now we've become irreplaceable best friends.

Yeah, so those guys will get along just fine.

in those days

”Uh... Leons.

Oh, yes. This is Shelia.

”...

We just said our names to each other and then shut up .

It's so awkward, I can't think of a conversation to have with a new person because I've only talked to the same people every day since I was born on this side of the world .

But I have to talk to them quickly, whatever it is: ......

'Hi, how old are you now, Princess?'

I tried to be brave enough to talk to him, but I bit him.

”Sherry,

Yes?

The princess's voice was so quiet I couldn't hear her properly.

Please call me Sherry without the honorific.

The princess looked me in the eye and said once and for all

If the youngest son of a nobleman like me is still allowed to hush up in an unofficial place, is it okay to call the princess by her nickname?

But I don't feel like I can say no here: ......

”Okay, okay, okay. So, you can call me Leo?

In the end, I decided to comply .

And in the heat of the moment, I asked you to call me by my nickname, which is a terrible thing to do: ....

Maybe I shouldn't have said that: .... Are you okay?

You must be Leo. Oh, yeah.

Apparently, I needn't have worried.

Sherry just smiled back at me.

Mentally, I sighed with a sigh of relief.

But something doesn't feel right: ....

'Come to think of it, Shelly's still being respectful!

Oh, my God, I did it.

What am I talking about?

I just said the most outrageous thing again in a momentum.

I don't care if it's a salutation or not: ....

”I'm a respectful person.

'Yes, you're right: ....

Apparently, I somehow managed to avoid pissing Shelly off.

Well, by the way, I'm five years old.

Come to think of it, you asked a question like that: ....

'Five years old? Just like me.

The same age? I thought you were older than me.

”What? Why?

I'm not taller than Shelly, and how could I have thought that?

From the first time we got out of the carriage to lunch time, the gesture seemed so mature.

Oh, really? I don't think Shelly will be any different, do you?

You know, that whole speech you gave my dad, it was very adult-like.

'No, I can't eat that nicely,'

You mean like how to use a knife or something?

Then I used to use it in a previous life, so it's easy to use it.

Oh, really?

That's right. By the way, what do you usually do, Leo?

Usually? Reading books, pouring my magic power into magic stones, practicing my magic.

'What? You can already do magic?

I can use it for a little while.

I love it! What magic can you do?

Shelly asked, her eyes sparkling.

It's creation magic.

”What?

I knew you'd be disappointed when you heard of creation magic: .....

”What kind of magic is that? It's very impressive, isn't it? Can you tell me what kind of magic it is?

Shelly asked very curiously.

What? You don't think I'm incompetent?

Why?

It's nothing.

Apparently, Shelly doesn't know that creation magic is called incompetence .

'Oh, I see you've arrived. You can tell me about creation magic later.

Uh-huh. Okay.

When I got out of the carriage, there was a cloud of steam all around.

Okay, now that we're all here, let's go to the hot springs.

There were two separate baths, one for men and one for women, so on the way to the hot spring, the men and women were separated.

So, the emperor will be talking to his father.

I'll let you enjoy the hot springs: ....

So, me, the emperor and my father took a dip in the hot springs.
