——The article from the “Hero Times”

Re to say And I felt the blood drain from my face

Yes, thanks to that article, Greed-sama’s proposal became known to the world My existence and also my name

The brave man is the last fortress of the world The power of the Hero was desired in any country Besides, for the deood for the the De So, they will take away the Hero’s important person

In other words—I will be targeted By both humans and demons

“That is why it is an amulet It is paired withthat bracelet, I will come to you immediately”

While saying that, Greed-saolden bracelet What shi+nes on his left arm is the paired silver bracelet

“I will definitely protect you From demons and humans”

“Greed-sama……”

“So please, you must wear that bracelet”

“……I understand”

I nodded But in the corner ofHuh? Isn’t it because of the Hero that I was being targeted, is it? I wouldn’t have been targeted if the ht?

However, he cares aboutto protect me was fully conveyed So I felt a little happy Well, I am a woman in the first place I am weak towards the word ‘protect’ Besides, because such words came frohten with emotion

Towards ave me a pouch and said, “Here, please take this”

Due to the incident of the bracelet, I received a palht caution, and old characters written on the dark blue fabric

“The finest tea leaves from Mindalk……?!”

Actually, my hobby is “to make tea” I like to inal flavor, so whenever I have o out to the city and buy tea leaves in the tea house

That’s why there is a bit pricey fine tea ware set placed on the bedside table that does not match this simple room

And a tea aficionado likeover the tea leaves of Mindalk inside this dark blue pouch These tea leaves, which can be taken in thebetween the countries of Mindalk and Lexarida, are fragrant, rade items It is a rare item that is also called ‘phantom tea leaves’ because it has a low yield and is difficult to obtain and has a high price

“Wh-Wh-Why did you give this to me?”

I reverently held the dark blue bag that contains the tea leaves and looked up at Greed-saentle smile

“I heard that your hobby istea Did you like it?”

I nodded vigorously Greed-sama smiled deeply

“I see I’ht it e passed by the border of Lexarida Because you told me before that you wanted this tea”

……Uhm, I think the princess doesn’t know that I wanted tea leaves froot this inforhted at this ereed here

“Thank you very much, Greed-sama”

I thanked him with a smile In response, Greed-salad that you are pleased”, suddenly crouched and pressed his lips on ht cheek—and drew back immediately

“I take that as your thanks for the tea leaves”

Greed-sa I felt an to burn

Aside fron of dear affection so it is a sight that can be seen on a daily basis It is done between men and women, between parents and children and sometimes even between the people of the sa, there is no need to be shy, there is none but—I don’t even understand why I a with so much embarrassment

“O—, u—……”

While fir that contains tea leaves with both hands, I orried about what to reply, and with my face beet red, my eyes wandered around

I a suspiciously I think so, too

But, how do the women in the world respond in such cases? How do they cope when their cheeks are kissed as their thanks for tea?

——Don’t tell ive back a kiss in the cheek?

We-Well, that is scary because a different flag ain, you know?

I was thinking about such things in a little confusion so I did not notice—Greed-sa a dark expression as he looked down on me

And after going out of the roo me behind whose redness of the face has still not faded, and while looking at his bracelet behind the closed door, Greed-sa you to me, Aria…… But I believe this is the best I can do…… No e, I will definitely protect you”

Is what he mumbled—

Around this ti and I was upset by the embarrassotten that I got the highest quality of tea leaves in my hands

—And also about the significance of wearing a couple bracelet
