The Third Prince Want a Slow Live

Today, the two of us are slowly enjoying tea at Philia's house.

 She talks about silly things, and the time passes peacefully...this is what I had longed for in my two previous lives.

Yeah, I like it, it's great.

 When I was thinking about that, I suddenly saw a blank piece of paper on the desk and had an epiphany

"Philia, is it okay if I use this paper?  ”

 "Um, yes. It's okay."

Philia seems to be wondering if I want to write a letter, but I cut the paper with a knife to make it square, and she seems to realize that it is not it.

Shalltear and Cecil, who were standing behind me, were also looking at my hands to see what I am doing.

While receiving such curiosity, I quickly completed what I was making.

"Wow...! That's amazing! Is it a bird?"

 "Well, cranes are birds."

That's right, I made origami... and the classic crane.

In my first previous life, I was made to acquire this kind of skill in order to win the hearts of the guest's children at the inn, and I remember making cranes so much that I probably will never forget.

I don't know how many times I've made a thousand paper cranes that I hated it and didn't even want to see paper anymore!

…… it was bad, but origami is not guilty.

It should be considered that the root of all evil was in the black labor system and my parents of my previous life.

In addition, I should blame the misery of my second life on that country and the princess.

(T/N: Sorry, but you only have yourself to blame there)

Just remembering it makes me tremble, so I calm myself down with the face of  Goddess-sama, who is my redemption, and the reaction of my cute fiancé, Philia.

By the way, I also like the interesting reaction of Cecil and Shalltear.

“Would Philia like to make one too?”

 "Um... can I do it too?"

 "It's easy once you know the trick."

“Then, wait a second …  Cecil-san, Shalltear-san how about doing it together?”

 The two were surprised by the unexpected invitation, and Cecil asked with a bit of confusion.

"... Um, are you sure?"

 "Yes, I don't mind. Besides, I want to get along with you two"

It's strange, I could hear the small words "for the future" attached to it with deep meaning.

Well, maybe I am imagining things. 

At those words, the two looked at me for confirmation, so when I nodded, the four of us started to make origami.

 Here, Philia and Cecil are equally dexterous.

Philia, who is serious and obedient, and Cecil, who is dexterous with her hands, remembered and made it in no time once I taught them.

The last one left is Shalltear... although it was a tough fight, she managed to complete it.

 "... Shalltear, you're late."

 "Guh...! You're too fast!"

“…But both Sirius-sama and Philia-sama are at the same pace.”

"Well, this kind of thing is not fit for everyone, so it can't be helped. Well then, I think I'll show the three of you one of my best creations by applying this."

When I draw attention to me, I arrange a piece of paper smaller than my little finger into a square.

I can't cut it with a knife, so I have to be very careful ... I manage to finish it while being careful not to tear it.

"Umm... maybe you're making a small one ?"

Even if it becomes smaller, the folding procedure does not change.

 However, if it is this thin and small, it is easy to tear and difficult to fold.

It is difficult even with my small hands, so isn't it amazing that I was able to successfully do this normally when I was an adult?

Well, no one complimented me.

 I'm sure I'm a child who grows when praised.

……You will not say that you grow better in a harsh environment, right?

That life where I could only die prematurely was already that plain.

And so, while the three held their breath as they watched, the masterpiece miniature crane was finally completed.

"This is... amazing."

 "...Yeah, Sirius-sama is skillful."

 "You're amazing, Sirius-sama."

Right now, I was desperately suppressing myself from smiling foolishly.

I'm tired of hearing compliments from nobles at parties, but I am overjoyed and pleased to receive praise from my relatives.

"Then, I'll give this to Philia."

 "Are you sure?"

 "Well, I can make it again."

If the two of them want it, I can make it after going back home.

"Uu... I'm jealous of you two."

 "... Philia will be able to live with us in a few more years."

"I see... Sirius-sama, I will be in your care at that time."

 I don't know what it is, but I can't say NO to Philia, so I answered "I understand."

You want to say that I am the kind of person who can't say no to begin with, right?

No, that in my previous life was forced, so there was no way I could escape.

(T/N: No, you could)

That's why I'm going to say it clearly when I don't something in this world.

Well, I probably won't turn down requests from Philia and the others, and I am sure it shouldn't happen, unless there's something really wrong.

After that, I taught other animals that I could remember, but the jumping frog was relatively popular.

It's a pity that there are no colors, but...well, I wonder if this kind of thing is just right for play.

 By the way, later, my nieces discovered origami and I had to make one for them... but it can't be helped because they are for my cute nieces.

(T/N: I really don't like when the MC says "it can't be helped " and there are many instances when I completely erase that sentence or switch it with another)
