Satou's here. Fulfilling the promise exchanged during childhood is the standard of childhood friends, but I think remembering the promise you've made in your childhood is a tall order.

"My! You're all Satou's new wives right?"
Even though I'm aware of Aze-san's real intention now, her innocent words weight down on my heart.
With the matter yesterday, today I've brought the princess, Sera, Lady Karina, Zena-san in addition to the usual members to the tree house in Boruenan.
"I am honored to be graced with your presence, your majesty sacred tree Aialize-sama. I am Satou's fiancee, Shistina the sixth princess of Shiga Kingdom."
"U-um.... You don't need to call me 'your majesty' okay?"
Aze-san is bewildered with the overwhelming princess's greeting.
In contrast, Hikaru is acting like she's been friend with Aze-san for 10 years after she greeted her.
"That's right, Aze looks like she doesn't like such a stiff greeting, be more friendly!"
Right now she's sitting beside Aze-san, joining shoulders while being overly familiar.
--Change with me, Hikaru.
"My name is Sera, granddaughter of Duke Oyugock of Shiga Kingdom."
"I'm Ka-Karina, daughter of Earl Muno desuwa."
"E-err, my name is Zena Marientail, I'm working as Satou-san's escort."
The three girls introduced themselves after the princess, but Zena-san's introduction is too modest.
"Zena-san is the benefactor of Liza and the others, and my first friend in Shiga Kingdom."
Thus, I followed up slightly.
"If she's Satou's friend, then she's also my friend. Let's get along well, Zena."
"Y-yes! I-I'm honored to."
As Aze-san rode on it spontaneously, Zena-san rigidly replied in monotone.
"Mwu, wrong wife."
Arisa is looking at them pleasingly, but Mia began to lightly hit Aze-san with sharp eyes.
It's not like she's serious, but leaving it is not good, so I collect Mia with [Magic Hand] and put her on my lap.
Tama who was originally sitting on my lap read the mood and smoothly slid to my side.
"Satou."
"Do you not like to be on my lap?"
"I don't hate it."
Mia is shaking her head, swinging her twintails making it hit the back of my head, but I'll receive this much contently.
"When I look at this, Aze-tan really does have the authority huh. Everyone is rigid."
Arisa comments on the interaction between Aze-san and the others while giving me a cup of fruit water.
That serious mode will soon collapse--.
"Dehehe~"
"What's wrong Arisa?"
Arisa who's letting out some weird laugh pokes my shoulder with her index finger.
"I mean, I heard about it from Aze-tan."
I can guess what she heard, but it doesn't seem like Arisa is going to say it out loud.
"U-um, I've heard about the 100 wives talk too."
Lulu who showed up beside Arisa said the thing that Arisa couldn't say while smiling.
I see, so that's why she looks calm....
I intend to seek the way to ascend the godhood during the grace period, I don't have any plan to get 100 wives right now.
However, seeing Arisa and Lulu looking so happy, as expected I couldn't say it.
Thus, the first meeting of the princess and the others with Aze-san that was filled with tension ended without any problem.
The princess and the others didn't seem like they could talk familiarly with Aze-san yet, but they're probably going to get used to it after seeing Tama and Pochi talk with her normally.
