"Mikado-sama?"
Perhaps because the answer was so unexpected, Chi-wan sounded a bit crazy. As Dawki watched, he began to talk in a low voice about his relationship with the emperor.
According to the story, the country of Miedai had experienced a great uprising about 10 years ago that had split the country in two. The current emperor, Mikado, was only 12 years old when he ascended to the throne after that rebellion was over. However, most of the capital was burnt to the ground in the great rebellion, and the country fell into great decline. For a ti, the palace was in ruins. Normally, the nobles were supposed to support the emperor, but they were too occupied with their daily lives and could not afford to worry about him.
Therefore, even though the emperor had ascended to the throne, he was unable to hold even the coronation ceremony due to financial difficulties, and this has continued until now. The country's finances are said to be in a state of near ruin, and the emperor, despite his position as emperor, has no money to eat. At one point in ti, the emperor was surviving on only one al a day, and even that was a ager al.
One morning, Doki, out of pity, made six fist-sized rice cakes from rice cakes he had left over, and delivered them to the palace. The lady who answered was surprised and delighted, and took them to the emperor. After waiting for a while, the courtesan returned and asked them to go around the garden. They walked around the large, spacious, but rough garden for a long ti. He ca to a large building. As he looked around, he noticed a cloth flapping to protect him from the wind. Originally there was a wall here, but the war had made a big hole in the wall, and a cloth was covering the hole, or rather, it looked like a cloth was hanging from it.
"...... That was Mikado-sama, the emperor."
"What? You're very friendly, aren't you?"
"Yes. He ca all the way to my place and thanked for the delicious rice cakes. He was very pleased. ....... It made happy, didn't it? So from that day on, I have been delivering rice cakes every morning.
"Really? ......"
"The lady says I don't have to worry about it, but it seems that the emperor and the empress get along well with each other when they eat my rice cakes. ....... The other day, the Empress ca to see and said that she looked forward to eating my rice cakes every day. If I don't bring them breakfast, they will starve. That's why I can't leave the store for a long ti.
I'm so shocked at the story, I can't help it. What is this story? It's a great story.
I can't accept it.
The harsh words co out of nowhere. It is Roni who is speaking.
"If you are the king, why don't you restore the country? Why don't you go to other countries yourself and ask for help? If our finances are broke, we should rebuild them first."
"Hmmm. I think Roni is right. But the country is still in a bad state of security and there are still bandits. Besides, Mikado-sama is too honorable. ......"
"Too honorable?"
"Yes. It is difficult to deliver relief supplies to other countries because our country is located in a very inconvenient place. Besides, Mikado-sama said that there is no price to pay. So he is making his own goods to pay for them.
"What?"
Mikado-sama kneads clay and makes pottery, and the Empress weaves and makes cloth, which she sells. The empress weaves the cloth and sells it, and gives most of the money she earns from it to the people. The teacups and jars made by the emperor are very good and sell well. But recently, fakes have started to appear on the market. ....... Rather than cracking down on them, Mikado-sama says that the people who make the fakes have a life of their own, and even tries to support them. Well, life will never get any easier. His attendants have suggested that we make a better profit, and in fact, there have been offers of support, but Mikado-sama refuses to accept them.
"What's that? If you can sell it, why don't you sell it?"
"Yes. He said you have evil intentions. He refused to accept my offer because I'm trying to seduce the people of this country. But the people of the country love you because of your integrity. That's why the country has managed to survive.
"What an amazing king!"
"Actually, it would be better if I could use my transference to sell the products made by the emperor and empress to all the countries of the world, but my magic power is so small that I can only transfer ...... one person at a ti. I regret now that I should have practiced magic more since I was a child.
"Hm? But, Dawki. If you can transfer two or three tis, can't you at least go and sell the king's works?"
At my question, Dawki opens his mouth with a slightly sad expression on his face.
"I drank a potion that restored my ...... MP. Normally, it takes two days to recover from a round-trip transfer. I don't have that many potions, so ......"
"I see. Then it's ...... difficult. I an, you went to the trouble of bringing a rice cake when it's such a big deal? Thanks for the ......."
I'm a little touched. What a nice guy. Then, out of the blue, Roni spoke up.
"So, if, by any chance, I were to marry you, I would have to live in the country of Miedai, wouldn't I? I work in a research institute in Agartha, and I am also the physician to the Queen of Agartha, Lady Ricoulette, and Lady Considie. I cannot live in the land of the Midei. Therefore, your marriage is not ......"
"You will be able to transition many tis. If you can't, don't worry, I'll train you."
"Gah!"
Loni is fainting in agony at Chi-Wan's apt comnt. Dawki said he had to go back to his country that day, so the discussion was postponed to a later date.
That evening, I accompanied May and Sidi to Rico's maternity ward again to visit her and her son. Loni had told her about Dawki, and Rico opened his mouth while feeding the child.
Dawki is a good man, isn't he? And the emperor of Miedai seems to be a very good man. We would like to help him if we can.
"Yes. If I have a chance, I may visit you once.
Yes, you're right. I would like to et you once.
After saying this, Rico pulls Idea off his chest and holds him on his shoulder, patting him on the back and making him burp. Then she handed Idea to May and changed his clothes, and opened her mouth again.
"By the way, Linos, I have a question for you.
"Yes?"
"Loni told that you have a male/female mindset. Who did you learn that story ...... that won look at the present and n rember their old lovers forever?"
"What? Who is ......?"
"Aside from n, won's ...... is sothing you have to be a woman to understand. Who did you learn it from? From May? From Sidie?"
Both May and Sidie look at each other and shake their heads. And they're both looking at . What? This developnt? No, it's a mory from a past life. I used to work at ....... They told about it. But I can't say that here. I open my mouth, my eyes swimming.
"It's Eril."
"Eril? Eryl is still ......"
No, it's Miss Eril.
"What?"
"A lady once told that. Yeah, the lady did."
"...... I see. That's what a teacher of Linos is for."
Rico is smiling. Thank God. He made it through. But maybe tonight, Eryl will appear in my dreams. If he does, I'll just ...... be pissed off at him. No, maybe I'll be praised for improving my image ......, but that's not true only for Eriru. Well, if it cos out, it will co out then.
That night, for so reason, I said in my sleep, "I'll understand if you talk to ! I repeated the words "I'm sorry.
