Shinka no Mi

"... sorry. You showed me something weird."

Not long after the two hugged each other, Amelia said so with a little sniffle.

"No, I don't think so... Um, are you two sisters?

"Yeah, he's a half-sister."

"Your sister is the daughter in the front room, and I am the daughter in the side room. Well, it feels like Brood."

"I see..."

I didn't think there were two royalties in the exact F class.

When I'm surprised by the new facts, Calm Amelia looks at me with a serious look.

"Makichi. Again, you really helped me. Well, the method was too unexpected..."

……

"That's why I have to give you a reward."

"I didn't want a reward..."

"You may be, but we've certainly been helped, and if I can't give you anything back here, it'll involve a national ticket. Of course, I don't know about ignoring your opinion, its meritorious, and pushing the country's circumstances..."

"Yes, no... I'm not going to push my personal will until I just push the country situation away, so I don't mind the reward thing anymore..."

I was told something similar a long time ago when I helped Mr. Lanze, but it's hard for someone to lead the country. Well, it seems so annoying to have to think about that one more time.

Why can't it end with "yes, thank you" when I just helped because I wanted to help? No, there's nothing I can do about it.

Besides, like I said, I'm not going to let my selfishness pass until I push the country through. Oh, no, I can't do that to a cautious man.

To my reaction, after Amelia exhales a sigh of relief, I change her expression again.

"Phew... thank you for saying that, but I can't think of a reward for you right now either. Whatever, I stopped the war by myself..."

"... right? On second thought, it was the war between the Kaisel and Varsha empires... Seiichi Sensei solved it by herself..."

"That's right... so I don't care what you think with a regular reward..."

Helen and Amelia held their heads the same way, saying so. No, I'm sorry.

But I don't really want anything myself.

I don't have money in trouble, I don't need weapons, I don't need protective equipment.

When I was Mr. Lanze, it was when I hadn't been able to use my magic well yet, so I managed to convince Florio to teach me magic...

Lille and Swine, who are holding back behind Amelia, are equally troubling their heads with rewards and doings for me, but there seems to be no answer.

Thinking that time lasted for a while, Amelia eventually sighs.

"... you can't. I can't think of anything like this right now. So, I'm sorry...... Sincerely, I just need a day, so why don't you stay at this castle?

"Huh?"

"At the very least, I'm not wacky, because I'm going to let you have the best hospitality, and I'm going to manage to think about that reward by tomorrow... what do you say?

"Uh..."

The battle itself is over, and I'm free when it comes to my spare time... but I need to get in touch with Salia and the others.

"Probably fine..."

"Really!? Then please stay another night in the room you used yesterday! I couldn't afford that much yesterday, but I'll treat you to something delicious, and this castle has its own prized bath. Have fun there, too."

Gleaming at my response, Amelia said so.

Mr. Lanze's castle also had a bath, but I guess the castle has a big bath set. This is one of the symbols of power and financial power.

While I was thinking about it, the maid would take me to the room where I stayed yesterday.

◆ ◇ ◆

After Makoto left the room, Amelia and the others still continued their discussions.

"For one thing, I told Makichi to wait until tomorrow..."

"Sister, are you okay? Well... if I only listened, I wouldn't be able to prepare a reward..."

"Well... honestly, the feat is too great and there's nothing I can refer to..."

"That's right... Normally, I'd think about how I could convince them without hurting the treasury... I didn't think I'd think about how I could really satisfy them without this nostalgia or something like that"

"That's right... I used to be, the situation and mood are too different than when we reward the idiot aristocrats, and honestly we don't know anything..."

Everyone talks about this and the content of the reward for Makoto, but no good idea emerges.

Because Seiichi himself didn't tell you, but he doesn't even look like he's having trouble with the money, and there's nothing more in the Varsha Empire than what Seiichi is wearing weapons and protective equipment.

It was thought that the discussion would continue to labyrinth, but Amelia looked up with some determination.

"... I've made up my mind"

"Huh?"

"Did you decide... what the reward is about?

Amelia nodded as Helen's gaze turned to Amelia.

"Yeah - I'll marry Makoto."

"" "Ha!?" "

All solidified into Amelia's unexpected remarks.

But Amelia goes on without worrying about how it looks.

"Honestly, there's no such thing as satisfying Makoto to the Varsha Empire today. Then I think you'll have to give me the Empress."

"Hey, hey, sister!? I'm serious about that!?"

"Are you serious? Fortunately, I look good, and I've been proposed by royal nobles from other countries many times. Still, I said no because this is the place... I mean, I left it for the future of the Varsha Empire. But to be honest, I thought it was time for this hand tag to become unusable at my age. After all, younger people are more effective."

"Well, the... Sure, as diplomacy, you may marry royalty of another country, but what about that in a reward...?

Helen's next sane liel tells her she's terrified.

"Well, from Makoto's point of view, it might be a good nuisance. Or maybe it's not even a reward..."

"Then why?

"Speaking of things I can already give you, I'm in position with myself... I mean, it's only about the status of king of this country. Because if it weren't for Makichi, this country would be doomed."

"Oh, that's..."

In fact, Amelia thought that Makoto would not have had much of a problem in itself becoming king because the Varsha Empire would have disappeared without Makoto.

Because if you marry Makoto and Makoto becomes Emperor, as before, the reign was planned by Amelia.

"Besides, I don't know what to say, but marriage to Makoto will certainly be one of the great diplomatic means. That's all. Makoto's fighting power is strange."

"... you can't deny it."

Helen, who knows how Makoto's bullshit goes, did understand that Makoto's presence would be a powerful hand in diplomacy.

"... when I say I give it to you, I don't know if I'll take it, and I don't have any other candidates at the moment, so let's just ask"

At the end of the day, Amelia concluded her discussion of the prize for Makoto.
