Return of the Former Hero

Chapter 45. Former hero?an audience with the king finally

I didn’t take the miko uniform off.

It was only opened.

That’s a nonnegotiable line.

No, putting such a thing aside.

With 4 people as the other party, it’s terrific.

As with the group battle previously, if I didn’t have the experience to pay attention to my surroundings continuously, I simply wouldn’t be able to handle it.

My experience as a former hero was put to use.

The result from those 3 years of intense fighting.

However, it’s the girls who amazingly exceeded my ability to cope.

Regarding the matter of Rithina’s first experience too, she was quiet at first, but after having a bout, I can only say that she had indeed gain experience from it.

Adapting quickly, she became assertive.

In all directions, hands were stretching from all over the place.

Mouth, and tongue. My legs were entwined. Seductive voices reaching my ears.

I already could not remember anything from midway.

This is over indulging.

A strong willpower is necessary to maintain one’s reasoning power.

Isn’t that the most insufficient thing for me?

But at the time I regained my reasoning, the me who broke down halfway due to the 4 of them was praised.

It’s my victory.

When the heck did it become a match?

“Haruto-kun……”

Rithina who revived all too soon embraces me who was catching my wheezing breath.

I wonder if she is pressing me a little timidly because it’s her first time?

Her breast which are overflowing from the miko uniform is pressed against me with a [Guni].

I react in an instant.

No no, as expected, it’s painful.

My ammunition already ran out.

“It was more wonderful than expected.

From now on, please treat me well.”

While muttering close to my ears, the nape of my neck was licked.

Her soft finger tip is caressing around my back.

Hiii…….it feels good.

“Then, 3 days later.

Please bring the matter of me and Mina up to esteemed father okay?”

Saying that in the end, Rithina places her lips on mine and falls on to the crowded futon.

And with an unbecoming appearance like this, she starts making a peaceful breathing of someone sleeping soundly.

Although it’s still the afternoon, to fall asleep here……

I mean, eh?

To her esteemed father, then, it’s his Majesty the king, naturally.

Hmm, well, is that so.

Even if it was talked about, I have to say it directly.

When I thought so, as expected, I was wrapped with fatigue too.

Phew…..

In the end, I fall on to the crowded bed too.

Having done that, Laurier climbs on top of me, as though it’s nothing more than her usual place.

Laurier is light, but it isn’t a problem like this.

Heavy…….

But the weight is comfortable too.

And I too, spent the new year at home like this.

———-

The first 3 days of new year ended up being spent at home.

Along the way, at the time when I no longer know if it’s reality or a dream, I had thought that it’s dangerous indeed and had gone out once, when i almost lost my head in that indulgence.

The Imperial Capital is noisy with the new year festival.

Apparently, it seem to last for a week.

Shall I look around together with everyone again tomorrow or something?

Aside from that, today is the audience with the king.

Although I deal with Rithina a lot, I did not associate with the royalty as much as possible.

It was to the degree of a light greeting even during the year end victory celebration party.

To say ‘please give me your daughter’ to such a person, and furthermore a king.

Aah, my stomach hurts a little.

But, since it was talked about, it’s still comfortable.

It will be fine as long as I pay attention to not be rude.

And now, I am heading towards the audience hall led by Rithina.

Coming to the place in front of that room, Rithina turns around.

“Haruto-kun. It’s here.”

Yup.

“I believe in Haruto-kun.”

Saying so, the door is opened.

Did Rithina open it?

e, Eh?

What is believed?

Before I could speak my doubt, Rithina enters within briskly.

Huh?

Eh?

But don’t I have a terribly unpleasant premonition?

However, it’s already impossible to run away.

I step into the room too.

The audience space is wide.

A red carpet is extending directly into its interior, and rising by several steps, a throne sits beyond that.

And, a dandy uncle-sama wrapped in a resplendent outfit is there. The king was enshrined.

Beside, there is only Rithina.

“Excuse me.”

I say so and bow.

And, I move in front of the throne.

Getting down on a knee, I lowered my head.

It should probably be okay like this.

“Yes. Amagi-dono. Please be at ease.”

“Yes.”

Called by the king, I stands up.

“Now, it might be direct, but I hear that the talk today is about the reward of the investigation?”

Oh.

It comes directly.

Since it’s also troublesome to do bargaining, I’m saved from that trouble.

“Yes.

I came here to express my desire for receiving Mina and Her Highness, royal princess Rithina as a reward for the investigation.”

I say it directly too.

I, It is okay?

Don’t screw around! He wouldn’t say something like this right?

I have said it, Rithina sama?

Because I’m saying something with a hidden meaning in front of Rithina, I can feel my heart throbbing.

“Hmm….. I have heard about that from Rithina too.

It seems that Rithina yearns to be entrusted to Amagi-dono too, and for me as well, it’s desirable to have a connection with an influential person such as Amagi-dono.”

Hoo.

That’s good.

It was properly talked about.

I’m sorry for doubting you.

“However.”

N?

“Our side may be fine, but there is the honor of Cordato marquis.”

Nn?

Cordato? Marquis? Who?

“Esteemed father. The matter with Cordato marquis is a not even a verbal promise, and it’s just something of sequential order.

It isn’t a matter that has anything to do with honor right?”

Rithina interrupts the conversation from beside.

“But, that’s after I say so too……”

And, the king and Rithina starts saying this and that.

…….

I can guess the situation.

Ri?Thi?Naaaa?…..!

It was talked about, but the talk wasn’t settled, was it?

I glare at Rithina with a sidelong glance.

However, now, despite certainly being aware of my glance, Rithina averted my gaze nonchalantly.

Youuu…….

This fellow, she completely entrapped me.

I had known, but it was reaffirmed.

I was set up by this woman.

“In addition, esteemed father.

I have already put my body with Haruto-sama.”

“What!?”

“Feee!?”

Wai, yo, eH?

W, W, What kind of explosive remark are you saying nonchalantly!?

Oi Oi, but the King is super staring at me!?

“R, R, R, Rithina. W, What on earth a, are you suggesting?”

“Oh? Isn’t it the fact?”

As much as it’s the fact!

Even if I say so myself, the discomposure is terrible.

No, there wouldn’t be a guy who is not upset in this situation.

After all, it’s in front of esteemed father?

I’ll be murderedー.

“Rithina…….huh.”

The king mutters.

Hii.

I’m sorry, I called her without any honorific title carelessly!

“……really, you did it that far…….”

The king breathes a sigh of exclamation while saying that.

For the time being, it doesn’t seem like he is angry.

T, that’s good.

My daughter was made a deflowered girl! You, come and engage me! Seem like it didn’t become so.

“Moreover, esteemed father!

I am reluctant to marry such an inhuman pig-frog even if I die!”

Already, Rithina is putting various things bluntly.

Didn’t you say that it wasn’t possible to break it up from your side?

Aah, no, was that towards the other party?

“…..I understand your feeling.”

The king also shows his agreement.

Is it to that extent, pig frog-kun.

On the contrary, I became interested.

“In addition, I want to follow Haruto even if it isn’t such a thing.”

Rithina approaches me, and sticks to me closely from beside.

Uku

I recall Rithina of these 3 days.

Although she is a scheming princess completely, I do not have the heart to let go now.

Haa!

D, Don’t tell me everything was calculated……..?

F, Frightening.

“……..”

The king is staring motionlessly at such a Rithina.

Rithina is staring back directly.

The silence is hurting my stomach.

Haaa……….

Do I have to say something here?

“Um, king-sama.

Although it’s a strange thing to be saying it myself now.

I also do not have the heart to part with her highness princess Rithina now.

Can you not do anything about the matter of the marquis?”

Rithina’s face smiles brightly with a ‘poof’ to my words.

It seems that she will embrace me at any moment.

Stop it now.

There is a hole in my stomach.

There was silence for a moment.

And, the king opens his mouth.

“……Haa. All right. I will grant that wish.”

Oh!

The king-sama is reasonable!

“Esteemed father! Thank you very much!”

Rithina is honestly delighted too.

“However,.

It’s not an official thing certainly, but it has to pass through the status of the marquis.”

Nn?

Is there no way we can settle this peacefully here?

The king continues talking.

“Therefore, Amagi-dono.

You are to proceed to the marquis’s house directly and explain the circumstance to settle it.”

Huh?

Did you not just say a somewhat awfully troublesome thing?
