“Hey! Were you serious, just now!? Tell me!” (?)
Arnold was lifted up by the scruff of his neck by the person that walked into the room. He looked like he was suffocating.
“Kuu-sama! What are you doing here!?” (Raiev)
Raiev was also bewildered by the princess’ sudden visit.
“Ugh….can’t breath…” (Arnold)
Noticing Arnold’s face growing pale, Kukklia quickly loosened her grip.
“Ah, S-Sorry!” (Kukklia)
Arnold, who had just been released from her grasp, took a deep breath as he thanked the heavens for extending his life. It really seemed like he was going to suffocate a moment ago. If worst came to worst, he would have passed on to the next world. Even though she was a girl, it was clear the she inherited the Gabranth’s brute strength.
“S-so, can you please tell me! Is what you said really true? That the information came from that Rarashik?” (Kukklia)
Even though Kukklia had not moved a step towards him, Arnold felt so intimidated that he unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
“Ah, eh…yes. That is…” (Arnold)
Arnold told Kukklia what Rarashik had told him.
“Why would the Demon Lord do that to the bridge…?” (Kukklia)
Kukklia’s said the exact same question that was on everyone’s minds.
“Wouldn’t it just mean that they didn’t want to fight?” (Raiev)
Raiev casually commented.
“Actually, it might be just as Nee-chan said. It’s just, it was only just recently that the [Evila] declared that they wanted to annihilate everything.” (Arnold)
This was during the era of the previous Demon Lord, although nobody was aware of it. Incidentally, Rarashik knew about this, however, she forgot to pass this info on to Arnold and his compatriots.
“But, if what you said is true, then Papa and his army should be safe, right?” (Kukklia)
“I’ll bet. I’m sure we’ll be able to see them as lively as ever.” (Raiev)
Kukklia smiled joyfully at Raiev’s words. Even though it was she herself that had suggested to go to war, having her allies coming back home without any wounded was undoubtedly something worth celebrating.
“Hn? By the way, who are you guys? Also, earlier you called Raiev ‘Nee-chan’ but…” (Kukklia)
“Aa, Kuu-sama, this blockhead is my little brother. Also, that girl’s his daughter.” (Raiev)
“Heh, I am the child of the [Beast Kingdom: Passion]’s [Beast King] Leowald. The First Princess: Kukklia King. Nice to meet you” (Kukklia)
Hearing her introduction, Arnold hastily fell to his knees. Muir, as if imitating him, followed soon after.
“Aaah, it’s fine, it’s fine. I don’t like being so formal. It’s fine to treat me normally. Actually, please do.” (Kukklia)
Under such a strong influence, Arnold and Muir timidly rose to their feet. (E: Not accurate, but I don’t have the time.)
“Hmm, as I’ve heard you are Raiev’s….and Muir is your daughter. Nice to meet you.” (Kukklia)
Although it was nice to hear her talk in such a friendly manner, because she was a princess, Arnold and Muir could not help but feel tense and confused.
“Ahaha, you’re so cute, aren’t you! I got it! Would it be alright for me introduce you to Mimiru?” (Raiev)
Raiev was about to say something, however, with the pretense that ‘surely she would also be glad to meet them,’ Raiev could only accept.
“Hah…somehow, this turned into something really unexpected…right Hiiro….eh?” (Arnold)
Although Arnold was bewildered when the princess appeared, something more surprising had happened while he was preoccupied. This being that Hiiro, who was beside him a few moments ago, had vanished.
“….Hiiro?” (Arnold)
Meanwhile, as Hiiro was wondering whether or not there was anything interesting in the , he had began to wander around. Of course, this was all done without the soldiers noticing.
