I called out to him and approached Ash-san, who was a little further away.

As always, hahaha! He laughed and said ‘grass, grass’, but come to think of it, he hasn’t been feeling well since before we got on the dragon.
Maybe he’s sick? And when I went to the side. . .

“Isarai Shina.”

“Yes.”

“I can’t believe you.”

“. . . What do you mean?”

“That is His Highness the Crown Prince!! Why can you feel free to touch him!!!”

Kii! yelling Ash-san.
Good. He’s fine.

“I see. In other words, you’re quiet because the crown prince is here, right?”

“That’s normal!! The other people are amazing too!? A northern dog is a northern dog!!”

“What am I?”

“Hey! Don’t come out all of a sudden!!”

When I was talking to Ash-san, Hurst-san suddenly appeared between me and Ash-san.
Ash-san jumped on the spot, and by the way, I was also surprised. The sign of 0 kcal.
Then Elja-san approached us. . .

“Come to think of it, I haven’t properly greeted you yet! Are you Ash Claude?”

“Y-yes!”

Elja-san, who came to the three of us, called out to Ash-san.
I don’t think Elja-san’s appearance is that of the crown prince, but he still behaves with dignity.
When Ash-san was so polite, I thought, ah, Elja-san must be a great person after all.
. . . . . He looks sexy though. The fur has been removed and the pectoral muscles and midriff are still visible.

“Hahaha! There’s no need to be so nervous. Right now I’m just a bard. Just like you are an adventurer!”

“Ha.”

“And we were originally of the same blood, weren’t we? We separated a long time ago, but we inherited something me as royalty and you as sword keepers.”

. . . .Sword keepers.

“. . . Huh?”

A voice came out involuntarily.
I know it’s Ash-san and Elja-san’s story, but it popped up involuntarily.
Because I know I’ve heard of that.

“It’s the heirloom sword, isn’t it?”

“I see, Shina-san knows it too!”

Elja-san laughs refreshingly.
So I looked straight ahead and smiled.

“It’s a good sword, isn’t it?”

“Oh! It’s the sword our ancestors used when they founded this land! It’s proof that we won this place, which was once infested with monsters!”

“Ho”

I can feel the highlight disappearing from my eyes.
But I looked straight ahead and smiled again.

“It’s good, isn’t it?”

Very. It’s a good sword.

“That’s why, Ash Claude, don’t worry about me and behave as usual.”

“Ha. . . no, I understand. . .I understand.”

“Hahaha! Well, it might be difficult at first, but I’m begging you! Don’t be stiff!”

Elja-san, who came in a lively way, left again in a lively way.
I muttered quietly while looking at his back.

“Ash-san. . .”

“What. . . .”

“It’s the heirloom sword. . .”

“Oh. . .”

“. . .It’s good, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, it’s good.”

Ash and I exchanged glances.
. . . There is something that comes to mind.
Really. Is Ash-san’s heirloom sword a venerable sword since the founding of the country? I see. . . that’s right. . .

“Shina-sama, don’t worry about the kitchen knife. Everything was done by me.”

When I was laughing fleetingly, Hurst-san, who was next to me, nodded that it was fine.
It’s very reassuring. But then it would be Hurst-san’s fault. . .

“No, but. . .”

“That’s right! Isn’t that right? It’s all your fault!!!”

“No, that’s a bit different. . .”

Despite my worries, Ash-san said ‘Yes!’ and blames Hurst-san
Let’s take a look back here.

-It was Ash-san who took out the heirloom sword for training and damaged it.
-Hurst-san actually cut the heirloom sword in two.
-I was the one who asked to make a kitchen knife out of the heirloom sword.

Are we all guilty?

“I have no regrets.”

When my eyes were clouded, Hurst-san said firmly.
His light blue eyes were shining brightly. . . .

“Shina-sama’s smile when she received the kitchen knife. I think it’s worth more than anything.”

. . . .No, what is it?

Hurst-san calm down.
No matter how you think of it, it’s ‘Heirloom sword >>> (used to found the country)>>> OL’s shyness’.
I opened my mouth wide.
However, Ash-san didn’t object. . .

“Certainly.”

He nodded deeply.
