109 Episode 8: Return to the Kings Capital (1/2)

”Come on,” he said. Then we'll go back to the king's capital, everyone. Are you ready?

Since coming to the planned construction site of the new city, time is running out. Today is the day of the promised return to the king's capital.

Until this holiday I was chased into a fight with paperwork. I managed to finish my share of the goal with the help of Priscilla and Navre with the paperwork I wanted to keep while I remained over here. I'm sorry I let you help me even though I'm not a civilian, Navre.

Charne worked hard to take care of us when we were being chased through paperwork. Gakun? It didn't help me with my paperwork at all, so I asked the staying knights to talk to me a lot. Gakun's personality also seems to have a good relationship with the knights, so the talent is in place.

”Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere. I went up to drop you off.”

”Uncle Drags, even Mrs. Arianna”

Uncle Drags and Mrs. Arianna dropped me off as we were preparing to return.

”I'll be back after the holidays, so we won't bother dropping you off, will we?

”Don't say that. Because it's the world that doesn't know what's there.”

”Yeah, so let me hope you're safe on the road.”

”I'll be careful not to throw out the work I've been entrusted with at last.”

I stroked my air bike softly, laughing bitterly at the two of them for dropping me off.

The return to Wangdu will be on this air bike in the future. Me and Gakkun and Navre are all alone, and Charne has us riding behind Priscilla considering we're still young.

If it was Airdra, I could have put Charne behind me, but Airdra handed it over to the spiritual ministry, which strongly wanted to keep it, because it was culturally valuable material that told the history of the magic tools.

So when I really need Airdra, or when I need Yufi, I'm going to use it. This air bike has increased safety and stability based on improvements if it is the foot I use when I go out right now.

”Sister King Anisphere, it is time to leave”

”Right. Bye, Uncle Drags, Mrs. Arianna. Thank you for coming back.”

”Yeah, be careful”

”I'll be waiting for you.”

Encouraged by Priscilla, we greeted Uncle Drags and Mrs. Arianna before bringing the air bike to life.

Navru-kun at the beginning, but behind it I chase him, Priscilla and Charne, Gakun at the rear of the line flying.

It's a completely different speed than when you come by carriage. It still feels good to cut the wind. No matter how shapely it changes, dancing in the sky is unlikely to stop it.

Nothing in particular happened, but we flew down the road to the King's Capital, cutting the wind.

”I knew if you could fly through the sky, you'd move fast.”

”Anyway, if you just want to run a horse, you have to be a carriage. It's not like you can keep a horse running all the time.”

”You actually know how to appreciate it when you use it.”

Gakun says he's stingy, and Navre nods hard at my gavel. We returned to Wang Capital and left the air bike at the facilities of the Ministry of Magic and Sciences, which is in charge of managing it, and we were walking in the royal castle.

In the meantime, my mind was a little floating. About a week, but is it because I can go back to the detached house I was away from? Plus, I can see what I want to try in the new city. I also want to talk to Uffi to make that happen, so my heart hurries to see Uffi soon.

”Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere, we are here. I'm going to say hello to the Knight Commander.”

”Yeah, good luck to Gakun and Navre. Take a day off.”

”Yes. Bye.”

”Take your time, Master Anisphere. See you on the day of departure. Let's go, Master Navre.”

Navre, Gakun and I each exchanged words before breaking up, and then I take Priscilla and Charne back to the outhouse. When I arrived at the outhouse, a samurai, who had recently started working at the outhouse, greeted me with a gift.

”Welcome home, Your Royal Highness King Anisphere.”

”Thank you. I'm back now.”

”We are very tired of working in planned new cities. Rest in peace.”

”Yeah. Then Priscilla and Charne have a good day off, too. Nice to see you again.”

”Yes. See you on the day of departure”

”Excuse me!

Two of Priscilla and Charne, who have accompanied us all along, are also put on holiday, and they return from the outer palace to the royal castle again. For the royal castle is a lodging for the maid to whom it is addressed as their private room.

When I dropped them off and went into the outhouse, there was someone waiting to see if I had been rewarded for my return.

”Anis.”

”Ufi!”

Uffi stood there in a knightly clothing one-piece dress that I was completely familiar with. He wears a proper dress when he climbs the castle, but today's personal clothes indicate that he is completely off duty.

Yufi is in government with the momentum of Angry Tao on weekdays, but he also has a proper day off. That's why I came back for that day, too. Of course, if there's any urgent trouble or anything, I have to go up to the castle.

”Good luck, Anis”

”Yeah. I'm home.”

Walk over to Uffi and hug him. Yufi's a little taller, so she's dressed to bury her face around her neck.

Yufi also turns her hand around my back and hugs me tight all the time. When I exchange hugs like this, I feel like I'm back, and I'm horrified.

”... anise”

”Ugh...”

When I was horrified, Yufi held me as tight as she wanted. What, hey, Uffi? Weren't you strong enough to crush it from the hectic force? There he is, there he is!?

”Yufi, it hurts.”

”... Oh, I'm sorry”

Uffi stunned himself, too, and he puts his hands off me. There's an uneasy color on that face, and it's oronic, or soggy. Oh, I've never seen a Uffi like this before.

Yuffi was wandering his hand into the void as if to say it was a shame, but he reaches out his fingers to touch my hand with the granny. Maybe he's unconscious, too.

Something's wrong with that, and I'm gonna hold Yuffi's hand for you. Then he looks very surprised when he realizes that he is reaching out. But that face smiles softly.

(- Huh... You can't, Yufi is adorable... Huh!

It was the first time we had left so far for a long time since we recognized each other as our only beings. Even I had a heart, anxiety, and loneliness, but maybe Uffi had more than me.

My emotions would be extreme if they expressed that in such a cute way. You think that Uffi, who usually does anything calmly at his leisure, comes to unconsciously reach out to his emotions? I feel so glad that I am being asked to. Most importantly, Yufi is adorable. Cute if you say so.

”... we'll be together all day, won't we, Uffi?”

When I said that, Uffi laughed nico as if it had blossomed even in flowers. With a little force in each other's gripping hands, he glances at my hands with his lovely fingers.

(Ahhh! Cute and impossible...... ugh, yuffy today, cute and I think I can handle it......!
