”Yeah! I really want to go with Cecilie on my trip (...) tomorrow, but how could she stop me! That's why Cecilie wants to help!

That said, Cecilie stretched out and tried to grab the onigiri.

Incidentally... I haven't told everyone why I'm going to King's Landing.

When I say ”Demon King Resurrection”, I get upset.

That is exactly what I have told His Majesty the King and his ministers.

But I haven't told Cecilie the real reason yet.

”I was hoping to borrow the help of a cat. Cecilie, can you help me make rice balls?

”Yeah! I'll take care of it! Cecilie, I've been cooking since oneechan taught me!

Cecilie reached out for the white rice that she cooked.

That's right.

After I met Cecilie, I found time to teach her how to cook.

I haven't taught you such a difficult dish yet.

But lately, Cecilie has been able to cook eggs by herself.

At this rate, I'm going to be a good wife in the future!

... in order to protect such a peaceful future, we must not allow the Demon King to be resurrected.

”Aaaaahh!

Cecilie tried to put her hand on the hot white rice, but she quickly pulled it in.

”Cecilie-chan, it's dangerous! I have to put my hands on the water before I...”

”That's right.....”

Are you burned or something?

”It's okay! Cecilie, it's not going to fail again!

Cecilie wet her hand and this time she grabbed the onigiri.

Nigigigi!

When I see you holding it hard with your tiny hands, it's kind of healing.

”Cecilie, you're good. Keep up the good work!

”I'll do my best at this!... is that it?!

Cecilie laughed at what she said because she imitated my tone.

Even though I was busy like this, I was enjoying gripping rice balls...

Oneechan

Yes?

Cecilie's voice kept her gaze on the onigiri.

”... tomorrow's trip must be dangerous, right?

”Eh...?

I was told something I didn't think I'd do, and I heard back.

”That's not true,” he tried to move his mouth, but...

”Yeah, Cecilie, I know. I really want to stop it. But... even if Cecilie said it herself, it would only bother your sister... so there's only one thing Cecilie can say. Come back safely.”

... here we go.

Cecilie thought she was still a child, but apparently she was older than I thought she was.

That's the future princess.

I might have despised this kid a little.

So...

”... yes. Thank you, Cecilie. I'll definitely come back with a (...) n (...). Then, next time, Cecilie and I will all go on a picnic with rice balls.”

I take Cecilie seriously as a woman.

”Yeah! I'm looking forward to it! Cecilie, I'll keep you posted until then!

Npah, Cecilie-chan said that with a smile on her face.

I have to work harder to meet her expectations!

I thought so, I increased the speed of gripping onigiri even more.
