Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

r>How do you do?」

Naturally, Reiji won’t change his attitude even before the princess of this kingdom.
An overly-familiar attitude.

Though the king should be there, he isn’t there.
Maybe because he simply can’t stand with Reiji’s attitude from before.

「Yes, Reiji-sama.
Almina is full of spirit as always」

Almina is looking at Reiji.
Those are the eyes of a maiden in love.

Though her father and brother are suffering from cruel treatment from Reiji, Almina welcomes him with a face full of smiles.
Is her fiancé okay with this?

The content aside, Reiji has an extremely handsome face, and many girls are charmed by it.
Moreover, the person himself is gentle with girls but harsh to men.
He will never refuse any girl no matter who they are.

The fangirls of Reiji in Holy Republic Lenaria always intrude into Rena’s temple.
Maybe they’ll follow him all the way to this Rox kingdom if there were no demons outside.

Reiji and Almina exchange passionate gazes.
Kyouka and Rino by his side are pouting upon seeing that.
Sahoko is a bit sad in seeing that.
Shirone and Kaya are calm despite the happening events.
Nao doesn’t seem to be interested in this.
It’s always like this when Reiji talks to any other girl except for our group.
I’m already used to this situation.

Though it’s just an everyday occurrence for me, that’s not the case for Almina.
She’s almost crying after being glared by Kyouka and Rino.
Maybe I should at least save her from this situation.

When I ponder about that, one man pops out.

He looks like a generous man who wants to do something about this situation.

When I look at him, I determine that this man is the prime minister of this kingdom.

「Almina-sama, it’s about the lodging of the hero-sama and his wives, but… Since they came so suddenly….」

The notice from Rena’s temple about our arrival was just sent day before yesterday.
And judging by the speed of the horse of this world, Rox kingdom should have received the notification just yesterday.
Maybe they did not have enough time to make the preparations to greet us.
His face turned pale in worry for causing Reiji’s displeasure.

Then, he turns around.
He saw the regiment of the temple knights that have come as our escorts.
Our group becomes quite big if we include those temple knights.
Maybe not all members of our group can get accommodation.

「There’s no other problem aside from that」

Maybe because she could guess something from the previous exchange, Kaya walks forth.

「Y-You are, Kaya-sama!!」

Prime minister is astonished upon seeing Kaya.
I guess he failed to notice Kaya since she was hidden behind Reiji.

「It’s been two weeks since the last time we met, right prime minister-dono?」

Did she meet the prime minister two weeks ago? All of us, save for Kyouka, are surprised after hearing her words.

「No need to worry.
I already made arrangements regarding our lodging and other matters」

Kaya smiles lightly.

　◆ Black-haired Sage, Chiyuki

We are moving toward a mansion that is slightly away from the Rox’s kingdom royal palace.

「We have been waiting, Ojou-sama」

Three maids are bowing to greet us at the mansion’s entrance.

This mansion is the vacation house bought by Kaya.

And those maids were Kaya’s subordinates.

In fact, Kaya became involved in trading business when she was house sitting with Kyouka during our demon king’s extermination journey in the past, and soon enough, she turned into an extremely rich female tycoon.

Naturally, the reason she delved her hand into trading business was to earn massive amounts of money for Kyouka, so rather than saying that Kaya became an extremely rich female tycoon, it’s better to say that Kyouka’s the extremely rich female tycoon.

Though I was surprised by Kaya’s skill who garnered such money in just two months, she mentioned that she uses the hero’s name to earn money in a way that can’t be used in our world.

Anyhow, Kaya doesn’t pay any tax when she trades.

The government office of Holy Republic Lenaria didn’t dare to take any tax from the little sister of the hero, the same case happened to any other countries.
In short, her profit is as much as her income.
Thus, she becomes an extremely rich female tycoon.
It seems she made a killing by using a slightly mean trick in another place, too.

In the recent days, she used that to build a big mansion in Holy Republic Lenaria for Kyouka.

And then, it seems she bought a villa in Rox kingdom due to the presence of hot springs.
Kaya has purchased houses at several other countries and it seems that this villa in Rox kingdom is one of them.

It seems she met the prime minister of this kingdom when she purchased this villa.
In fact, the hot spring in this country is monopolized by the royal family of Rox kingdom and is not private property.
It seems that Kaya has forcibly broken that fact.

Though I feel bad for the prime minister for what happened to him at that time, thanks to that we get a villa along with a private hot spring, so I am fine with it.

This mansion, originally one of the hot spring establishments of this kingdom, transformed in two weeks after Kaya bought it.

It’s still under renovation but has enough space for us and our escorts.
Now, I can feel at ease since I finally released from this embarrassing attire.

The maid of the villa is guiding us.
