[Umm… What does this mean?]

When I came home, I was taken by Mina to change my clothes even before I greeted everyone.

[Rithina-sama will provide more information later.]

Mina said that while taking off my clothes and putting on new ones.

She was left to do it by herself, but Meena’s clothes got too messy, it’s something that she can’t wear all by herself.

[Guhahaha!]

[Hahaha! It’s ticklish.]

Laurier and Kagura, who were looking behind me, were laughing as they were dressed in unfamiliar clothes and had their hair set all back.

Certainly, if you look in the mirror at yourself with a neat outfit and a well-dressed hairstyle, you will find it hard not to laugh. I understand that… But, that’s why you shouldn’t laugh in front of the person himself.

Like Tanya, I’ll add these two in tonight’s punishment.

It seems I have no choice but to use the punishment set that I haven’t used for a long time.

I’ll attach a collar, restrain their limbs, and squeeze their buttocks.

It’s punishment.

I don’t like being too hard after all.

[Haruto-kun? Are you listening?]

[Eh? Ah… yes. Um… I understand the reason for dressing up, but isn’t this strange?]

While in the middle of doing it, the princess herself asked her to help get dressed up, but she questioned it back.

[That’s not the case! Or rather, it’s wonderful…]

[Ah…I-is that so?]

I’m not used to it myself, so it looks like it just doesn’t look good, but if you ask Rithina, it seems right.

As evidence, something like this, she had a fascinating look on me.

Of course, I don’t feel bad when I look so hot. Rather it’s a good feeling.

[It’s wonderful, Haruto-sama. It’s like lion king Vega.]

Mina, like Rithina, looks happy with my formal wear.

I don’t know what the analogy is saying though.

[With this, it’s ready…haa. H-husband…!]

When I was ready, Aura, Leon and Yunikram, dressed in formal wear like me, came into the room.

Aura looks at me, holds her mouth shut and trembles.

However, this is a rather ecstatic expression rather than enduring laughter.

Apparently, their reactions to my formal wear are split in two.

Judging from the information so far, it has a good reputation for royal aristocrats and daughters related to their status.

On the contrary, daughters living in the field tend to be laughed at.

They are not here right now, but Tanya and Elcure will definitely laugh at me.

Celes is probably on Rithina’s side.

How about Sharon? Is she laughing… I wonder?

Sharon is a pretty caring girl, so she may not laugh.

Aside from that, there are two strangers in maid clothes behind Leon who was taken by Aura… No, there is nothing strange.

Previously, there was a girl that Leon and his friends rescued from a thief.

Why is it a maid outfit?

Or are you still here? There is no problem though.

[The time is just right.]

Rithina says so while looking at her watch.

Ah, when I thought about it. It’s really troublesome…

Laurier and other women are left in the other room while I, Rithina, Mina, Leon and Yunikram move through the mansion.

The destination is the guest room on the 2nd floor of the consulate.

Mina, as the group leader, knocks on the door of the guest room and opens the door silently as usual.

[Pardon us for making you wait.]

After opening the door, I entered the room first, followed by Rithina and then Leon.

After Yunikram entered the room, Mina finally entered and closed the door.

[Thank you for coming even though you have a busy schedule.]

Inside the room, there’s a guy with chiseled good looks and a blond-haired lady in a red dress and in formal wear was waiting for us.

The first impression that a man has narrow eyes and seems to be thinking about something nasty. It’s just my bias.

The first impression that the woman seemed to laugh out loud at any moment, saying “Oh ho ho ho ho!”. It’s also just my bias.

Their appearance is somewhat regal.

Of course, this is not Earth so it’s just a similar design.

I wonder if the empire is a country with this kind of atmosphere?

Until now, I had only made costumes myself, but I wonder if it is also possible to import local costumes.

Let’s think about it in the future.

Anyway, according to the story I heard from Rithna during the dressing, they are the Prince and Princess of the Empire who came while bringing the imperial army outside the city.

Even if you say a Prince and a Princess, it seems that their right to inherit the throne is low.

Well, it’s a story that has nothing to do with me.

[I’ve never seen the young Lord before, I’m Laval Koatek Acsupport, who is in charge of commanding this expeditionary force.]

[I’m Caster Gired Acsupport.]

Eh? What did they just say?

The two introduce themselves, but their names are so long that I can’t remember it at all.

I’m sorry, I’ll probably forget it at night.

[I am… my name is Amagi Haruto.]

[I’m Leon van Roel.]

I and Leon also introduce ourselves.

Then, we shake hands lightly with the young man of the Empire.

However, even before they shook hands, their eyes were on Leon.

Oh, that’s right.

These guys had something to do with Leon who was made to be a Hero.

I’m just an additional bonus.

As a former Hero, I don’t feel uncomfortable at all.

Rather, it’s nice that the subject of such a line of sight is not me.

As Rithina said earlier, it seems that I basically just have to sit down.

After we are done talking, then we can go home.

After that, some unfamiliar social etiquette has begun along with strange exchanges of compliments.

I was prepared to some extent when I accepted to become a lord, but in fact, it’s terribly annoying when it comes to this.

Even so, I don’t feel like giving up again now.

In this amazing discussion, I… well, what’s her name again? …Eh …Oh yeah, I waited for the time to pass while thinking about things like the chest of the Princess of the Empire called Caster, it seems Rithina won on size.

For the time being, listening to the contents of the story, they said that it was good that the permission for the ground expedition to the demon territory this time was given after the Fort Gauge was released from the hands of the demons.

Hey. There is a connection between such things.

In the beginning, there were already problems with demons occupying the place. They didn’t even use their own knights and they just sent an unknown adventurer like me and some unreliable hero to recapture the place quickly; that’s the kind of relationship I had with that country.

When it comes to this, the mission to free this city from thieves may have been necessary for this expedition by the Imperial Army.

No, am I really just being used?

Well whatever, it’s good.

If there were enough rewards, this would be nothing.

Besides, they were talking to Leon about overthrowing the Demon King as a Hero.

Somehow, I felt that my true feelings were completely different just from the outside. I’m not very good at it.

How about living more honestly?

I may be too honest.

Whatever.

Other people can do as they please.

[I had a good talk with the Hero. I think I can make a good report to my brother.]

After about an hour of talking, the Empire’s young man said so and ended up the story.

By the way, I had already forgotten her name.

[We will leave the city tomorrow. Thank you for your help!]

The blonde older sister followed up.

She didn’t laugh with [Oh ho ho ho ho!] after all. A little disappointing.

[Good luck.]

Leon responds with a refreshing smile.

This guy has good social skills.

Finally, after we exchange another few greetings, the two royalty of the Empire leave the room.

Good grief.

Is it finally over?

Please do your best and fight against the Demon King Army.

As I was thinking about that, the moment he was about to leave the door, the young man of the Empire looked back for a moment and glanced at me over my shoulder.

Hm?

The next moment I thought about it, he was no longer visible.

What is it?

However, I felt very uncomfortable seeing it.

Hnn…..

[Haruto-kun. Thank you for your hard work… What’s wrong?]

Rithina called out to me, who was still frowning.

[Nn… No, it’s nothing.]

[Is that so?]

It may be just a matter of my mind.

I shouldn’t worry too much about it.
