Volume 2, Chapter 4: Feast of the Magic Country

The country that once brought the wisdom of magic across Rusanas......Bunna. Borders which are surrounded by a natural forest, their inner life perceived to be mysterious and often targeted with unfair treatment due to it’s recognition, a lifestyle supported by magic without relying on machines seen to be primitive by citizens of other countries. However, if one would actually visit Bunna, the image of a previously viewed as barbaric lifestyle will undergo severe change. Magic never inferior to mechanical technology is what Bunna calls it’s own.

“Huu, it took longer than I thought" Craft

“Naahaahaahaaa! I finally came back! My hometown!" Meri

The sun goes down and a dark night conquers the sky as clouds partially refuse to let moonlight pass to illuminate the earth below. Riding on Kaitos′s back and gliding through the air, we passed through the great forest, before we finally landed in Bunna.

“Wonderful......I have heard rumors, but it's better than I imagined" Efrika

It was a street lamp shining around the whole area that captured Efrika’s fascinated stare. The only city in Bunna, the capital Ergion. The magic stones used for the lamps in Ergion have a characteristic that lets them emits a natural, warm light unlike street lamps installed in Baretoria as well as Dibair. Individuality in the color of the light and it’s luminosity and other factors in the magic stone, the innumerable unique lights mix when seen and form a unreal and fantastic painted ambiance.....it is a beautiful scenery.

“Craft......I'm sorry but please let me rest for now" Kaitos

"Oops, thank you Kaitos. Please rest on my shoulder for a while" Craft

After we finished loading off our luggage from Kaitos′s back, Kaitos who seems to be a little exhausted soon changed her body to her resting form and jumped onto my shoulder.

“””Small lizard……?””” Musashi, Meri, Venu

Musashi, Meri and Venu who saw Kaitos′s resting state for the first time mutter such at the same time. Yup. That reaction is not wrong. So don't growl so much, Kaitos.

“Cough. Hohoo, people from Bunna are using strange vehicles degozaru" Musashi「

Musashi who dispersed the awkwardnes narrows her eyes while exhaling a breath of admiration. The figures of people who are flying in the sky with a broom look really fantastic, especially in a city during nighttime that shines in rainbow colors. As everyone is dressed in Bunna's ethnic costumes with a lot of skin exposure like Meri, I am quite glad to have my point of view.

"However......are the men a little forceful?" Craft

“Hehehee, what do you think! Bunna is a really good country! I will show you, so please come along with everyone!" Meri

As I look away from half-naked muscle Macho Mans, Meri cuts ahead with an excited face and starts walking. No wonder, it can not be helped but please wait for a moment.

“Stop Meri. I want to do sightseeing, but there are more important things than that" Craft

"That's right, Meri! First of all, we have to greet Meri-dono's family" Musashi

"Uu! Th, that's right, I'm sorry, the excitement has got to me" Meri

Well, I'm sorry, Meri looks down depressed. Even though she finally came back home, she couldn't show us the city. Then suddenly, Orochi who had been quiet behind us opens her mouth. Literally──a wide opened mouth.

“Kisyaaaa!! Lizarrddd!! Gabuuu" Orochi

"Ouch!! W, What are you doing, Orochi! Don’t bite my head!" Kaitos

Orochi who jumps from behind and hits the kite which was resting on my shoulder. Even though it was a messy battle situation......is it okay to be in your resting form?

“Headache......aguagu" Orochi

By the way, Orochi was naked before, but now she is wearing a firm orange poncho. While moving from Isamura to Bunna, this large poncho made by Efrika for dexterity is exactly right to hide various parts of Orochi who isn't wearing any underwear.

“......Help, chuuchuu......chuuu" Orochi

"Nmuuu? Somehow I hurt her head......my strength did not lose" Kaitos

What a fellow, Kaitos is. She doesn't resist....

“Shaaa, more and more......!" Orochi

"Hey, Orochi, eat this instead of Kaitos" Craft

Orochi who keeps Kaitos′s head between her lips mutters something like a squirrel nibbling on a nut. I patted her back and encouraged her to leave Kaitos alone by putting cookies in front of her. I guess I have to discipline her a little more.

“Muu………...shaaa? What is this? Is it delicious?" Orochi

“Well, I don't know if it suits Orochi's taste" Craft

For a moment, it seemed that Orochi looked cranky......it seems to have been my imagination. Orochi takes her mouth off Kaitos and takes a cookie from my hand. Orochi was staring at the cookie in her hand for a while, but after sniffing the smell, she opens her mouth without blundering. She seems to like it.

“Hey, Nii-san, why were you carrying a cookie?" Efrika

"It's a thing for Kaitos, not as good as Venu, but I always carrie them with me for special cases” Craft

When Kaitos is hungry and I don't have something to eat, my head will be sacrificed instead. In order to protect myself, these sweets are necessary.

“Aguagu......shaaa!! Oihiii!” Orochi

“Kuu, Orochi! That's mine! It is my cookie!" Kaitos

"Hey calm down. I also have one for you, good grief" Craft

I put a cookie in Kaitos′s mouth as she was having teary eyes, before I call Meri out.

“Hey Meri, is your house near here? To be honest, I don’t know this place here" Craft

There are many houses built by using wood and some types have hollowed out the inside of trees and some are treehouses. It can be said that it is a custom that is integrated with nature in a good way, but thanks to that each house is quite similar. Because there are no easy-to-understand buildings such as Dibair′s Dora castle and Isamura's Sando castle, it is impossible to find where the chief lives.

“Hmm......My parents house is right there. It's a bit odd!" Meri

"What? Is there something strange?" Craft

"There are too few people in the town.The people flying in the sky are heading somewhere" Meri

While narrowing her eyes, Meri is looking up at the people who fly in the sky. Certainly as Merry says, the people flying on brooms are flying in the same direction.

“Besides, I feel that the air is thin" Craft

"Thin air? I think that the more nature there is, the more denser the air is......" Meri

Ergion is surrounded by a large forest and all houses are wooden buildings. But what? The flowers growing around here seem to be somewhat withered.

‘’There seems to be a voice in the distance…’’

‘’Let's chase after those people and look what there is!" Meri

In any case, there are no other options than to go forward. We will hurry to proceed through the city so that we won't lose sight of those who fly through the sky. Along the road, the flowers and vegetation that should be blooming on the ground seemed without energy. It is not autumn or winter, is this the whole time......?

“Th, the lights gradually became stronger......I can hear voices"

"Ah, this is the way to the Great Plaza. Sensei, everyone seems to be gathering there!" Meri

"Great Plaza? Ah, there was something close to that when I came to Bunna before that" Craft

There is a shrine dedicated to something and which is usually used for banquets......hmm? Banquets?

“I see it degozaru! The voice from the tip of the corner──" Musashi

Here, Musashi who was too quick makes a sudden brake and stops.

“Hey, what is this......?"

What we saw as we came afterwards......should I say as expected?

“Aaaaa! As expected! Everyone was doing a feast! Zuriiyoo!" Meri

As Meri shouted so loudly, a grand party was held at the Great Plaza. While alot of people crowd together, they drink a cup of alcohol and the cooking is lined up side by side over a cloth laid on the ground. It's good to have fun, but......

“Naa slyy? What are you talking about, girl......ah, Meri!" Drunk man 1

"What? Oh, it's really Meri! Everyone! Meri is back!" Drunk man 2

Two drunk men who happened to notice us, blinked with their eyes as they saw Meri′s figure. No, it is not just Meri......

“Then the person next to you is the Prince of Dibair?"

"Well, he is different from the rumors I heard about Prince Craft. He is quite good-looking!"

"I like that red-haired sister, but that black-haired samurai is also nice!!"

It seemed like we were completely put in their eyes, and the big square is wrapped in a frenzy in an instant. That? It seems that we are welcomed......and that we are embarrassed. With the roar of kicking the earth, something popped out in front of me.

“Uushaa! There is a monster shaaa!!" Orochi

"Mumagaa!" Craft

I should have avoid it while I still could avoid it, as I was pushed down by something with overwhelming mass. Something like a soft cushion is pressed on my face and as I stroke it to resist it, it sinks and changes its shape. No way......what is this?

“Nhaaa! Grabbing my precious chest so suddenly, you sure have guts!" ???

Wow, boobs! The object covering my face were huge breasts!!!

“Deeeeeeee? De, Deheeeeeeeee!! Whaaaattttt!!" Craft

Finally free from the state of restraint, I re-confirm my situation again. Bunna's inhabitants were onlookers and a woman who jumped out suddenly pushed me down with her chest. The woman has a hairstyle similar to Meri and her skin is brown. Her clothes are a skimpy costume peculiar to Bunna and there is no place where it changed. Fine. So far so good......but the problem is the size of her breasts. They are so huge that I can't express what I'm saying. Too plump tits. When I think that Efrika is big and Meri is huge......these breasts are exactly magic boobs! A bigger chest than that of Meri. What will be with Zenan and Venu?

“............Auaa” Venu

“Uu! Venu′s......soul is falling out" Efrika

From the shock of witnessing the magic boobs, Venu faints while standing. No, everyone, even Efrika is dumbfounded.

“Impossible......what is that chest? What do you mean? What is with Zenan and Venu?" Efrika

"Even if its a straw, if you remove the armor there will be something......" Musashi

Musashi is in her princess-like mode completely unlike Efrika who has a mental breakdown.

“Kishaa, big boobs!! Monster!!" Orochi

"Hou, my chest isn't that huge......" Kaitos

It seems that Orochi and Kaitos are comparatively cheerful. And the only one that can compete with these magic boobs......is Meri.

“Naaa! What are you doing! Craft is mine!!" Meri

"Uootoo! Hey Meri! Do you feel like killing everything?" Unknown woman

The surprise blow of the trident which Meri did is caught with one hand easily and the woman’s other hand grabs Meri. You idiot, how did you get that powerful blow? No, when I look closely she covered her right hand with a rocky mass. This is......strengthening magic of earth!!

“Aitatatatatata!! Sorry, sorry mama! Please forgive me!" Meri

"Huhh, I'm not going to fight against a chick who hasn't grown up yet!!" Meri′s mother

Eh……? Mother? Is this Meri′s mother?

“Even if I look at her who seems to be in her early twenties......is she really your mother and not your elder sister?" Craft

"Nyaahaahaahaa! You say something wonderful Zefirio's son!! With magic I keep a young body! Though these huge breasts are natural!!" Meri′s mother

Meri's mother who takes her hand off Meri shakes her breasts with both hands. Uh this, this is so wonderful......what, Zefirio′s son?

“Umm, Meri's mother! Now……" Craft

"Please stop it! Please don't be so cramped and call me Igina" Igina

"Ah, yes. Well, Igina-san......do you know my father?" Craft

She calls him Zefirio and not King Zefirio. I thought it was awful, but......

“Yes, we′re acquainted. Not only him, but I′m also old friends with the General of Isamura, the King of Kurinos and that disgusting Queen of Baretoria" Igina

Igina-san says something ridiculous. Father, you have not told me such a thing at all......

“That said, we had a decent relationship until about eighteen years ago" Igina

"About 18 years ago? That......" Craft

"Ah, since you were just born around that time, you don't know, right?" Igina

Igina-san shook her head vertically while fingering with her flower hair ornaments. And in a sudden turn, her arm is wrapped around my neck and she begins to whisper into my ear.

“Well then I will tell you later on the bed......about everything from the past" Igina

"Mou!! Craft is my husband!! You can't do this!!" Meri

Meri comes in between us and pulled Igina-san away who has started saying something to me. Honestly, I was too thrilled to catch what she was saying.

“Chii, nice punch. Anyway you are a beginner and still have no reason? When I was at your age, I and that man took our clothes off every day......" Igina

Igina-san......this is something unique. It is natural to say of course that the country of origin is different, but I feel like the values and ethics are totally different from mine.

“Ah, Igina-san. What is this banquet for?" Craft

"Well......it's a banquet to celebrate your marriage!!" Igina

“Eh? But you send a letter where you oppose our marriage......?" Craft

"That's right! Because of that letter, we came to this country degozaru!" Musashi

It seems that Efrika and Musashi are reviving unprecedentedly. I forced myself to forget the story and it was Igina-san who seemed to be cool and cheerfull. Is she willing to give us permission to marry?

“One boobs......two boobs...... three boobs......" Venu

Venu is not likely to come back for a while. That's not good.

“A letter? I dont know of that? If its about Meri, she is a virgin!" Igina

"St, Stop it mama!! Dont say something stupid!!" Meri

"But before long, we will make child......hiii!" Craft

A huge trident is pierced at my feet. Yes, nothing.

“Mars-ojiisan also disagrees, don’t you think you′re misunderstanding?" Meri

"I wonder if that's the case? But I do not think that Zefirio squirted him......" Igina

"I see. So do you accept the marriage now?” Craft

When I turned my eyes to the people in the Great Plaza, they pushed up the glass they had in unison and cheered. Meri is also doing so, but the Bunna people are nice to have a lot of cheerful guys.

“I'm so excited to have you guys here! Mars-ojiisan has already gone to bed because he is old! Nyahahahaha!! Everything'll be a trap from that man somehow!!" Igina

After saying outrageous things in front of her daughter and her daughter's husband, Igina-san mixed up in the banquet.

“Me, Meri? Emm, what about your father......?" Craft

"Hmm? Ah, about my father I don't know him, so you don't have to worry?" Meri

"……Yes?" Craft

"In fact, my mother is unmarried. Besides, in the old days she seemed to have sex every day with a strong man......so I do not know who my father is" Meri

I feel like a smooth, ridiculous bomb remark jumped out. Igina-san said that she replaced a man after another, but is this really true.

“Igina-san said that she was replacing a man after another in the past, but I don't believe it!" Meri

“Apparently, Bunna seems to be friendly to us. The marriage has also not been opposed......and the people of Bunna are just good-hearted. I'm afraid I don't have to worry about this anymore" Efrika

"Yes. I hope so......" Craft

Somewhat disappointed, Efrika is gazing at the Great Plaza.

“As Meri′s grandfather is asleep, we cannot do anything. Let's have fun now as well" Craft

They′re celebrating our marriage. Thank you, I have to upsurge here too!

“Yay! Well then, then! Let me get some food there!"

"Well, we haven't eaten anything since we came here"

"Ooh, there is also alcohol, degozaru!" Musashi

"Hey, alcohol is only allowed for over 18......Musashi are you 18 years old?" Craft

Musashi might be the oldest among us. However, she seems to be weak to alcohol.

“Shaaa! Alcohol drink!!" Orochi

"You might have the proper age, but its not good. Please be obedient with Kaitos......okay?" Craft

I think Kaitos was there a while ago, but where did she go? When I looked around the Great Plaza and searched, I was able to find her appearance unexpectedly. She seems to have left us and went to eat the food of the banquet first.

“Aguaguaguu, gulp. Umm, this home-made centipede is really delicious" Kaitos

"Lizard-chan, talking is cute!! Is it okay to eat more?"

"Alcohol is the best thing for my throat, but can I eat this lizard too?"

"I am not a lizard, I′m Craft′s wife and I′m a great dragon" Kaitos

"""""Kya!! Kawaii!"""""

What……? Kaitos is surrounded by young girls and will be loved!

“It is enviable to say that I wish to be Kaitos......" Craft

"Haa? Craft, what did you say just now?" Venu

"Aahaahaahaa. I don't want you to let me hear it again, degozaru" Musashi

"......Calm down, let's discuss this with guns and swords down" Craft

I raise both hands while being frightening about the muzzle that sticks to the back of my head and the two katanas attached to my neck. No, my life is in dangerous seriously if I make another carelessly remark even though this is a banquet......

“Look, that Baretoria girl......she has a great body shape"

"Uwaa, such a body, can’t be seen around here"

"Let's invite her, it's seldom that we can see such an erotic body"

"The other party is a Baretorian? I'm sure she won't keep us company"

Hmm? It seems that many young men look at Venu with odious eyes this time. Originally I want to crush their eyes and kill them halfway......but wait? Efrika and Meri know something. It would be an inevitable phenomenon as a man to be blinded by that erotic thing. But why is it Venu? She has small breasts and rarely show her sex appeal......

“Wait, wait Venu. Please stop your silence you are really scary so"

"But isn't it strange degozaru. Why are the men of Bunna eyeing for Venusera-dono?" Musashi

"Hey Meri? Do you know the reason for this magical phenomenon?" Efrika

"Hey, what are the two of you talking? My charm is superior to the two of you!" Venu

I know if it's just a charm, but those guys seems to feel sexual excitement for Venu.

“Naahahaha......I wonder why" Meri

"That face......do you have a clue, Meri?" Craft

"Ye, Yes. it's hard to say, but......the women of Bunna are basically all big breasted, so types like Venusera are rare and popular" Meri

Ah, the women of Bunna are all big-breasted. That's why people like Venu and Zenan are rare and the men have sexual interest. Huu, that's refreshing.

“WhWh, Whhhhaaaaatttttt!!” Venu

Getting to know the truth, did Venu receive a shock? Poor Venu……

“What a wonderful country! I, I like Bunna at once!"

I withdraw my words. She seems to be happy.

“Small tits are justice......yes, tiny breasts are justice. Oooohoohooho!" Venu

"......I'm glad she likes Bunna, Meri" Craft

"... Ah, yes. I see" Meri

"Already, get some food you idiot. I'd be happy if it's not an insect" Efrika

"Wawaa, sorry Efrika! Well then, let's take a seat!!" Craft

While Venu tripped, Meri asked the residents to prepare some seats. It seems that she asked some people to bring us drinks and meals.

“Huu, it seems that somehow it seems like a honeymoon"

"Well, because of what happened at Isamura in the beginning, nothing can be done"

"I wanted to do sightseeing in Isamura, but......ah, I′m grateful degozaru" Musashi

We receive drinks and meat dishes that are being carried one after another and we sit down.

“......Shaaa, Waawaa, Boobs! Teach me, Teach me" Orochi

"What Orochi? Why do you want me to teach you, when you know anything!”

Hey Orochi, you can not call Meri Boobs. I hope she won't say it again......

“Shaaaa!! Over there…...what?” Orochi

Orochi pointed at a small shrine in the center of the Great Plaza. Why is there such a shrine in a place that is used for banquets?

“That is the shrine where the sacred stone is enshrined"

"A stone? Is that......is it a rare ore with power to amplify magical power?"

"Yes. It's pretty important!"

"Amplifying magical power, what is the different to magic iron? It is not so rare, is it?"

Magic iron was also used for my beloved sword Danthes. The characteristics change according to the processing method, but the magic amplification is not a rare effect.

“No Nii-san. In the case of a sacred stone, the digits are literally different. Even if the amplifying of magic is good and tenfold for magic iron, for the sacred stone it can be a thousand times. However, the handling is difficult and it is unlikely for ordinary people to master it" Efrika f𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.co𝓶

Is that so? But why is such a rare stone in such a place?

“ Seiseki......seiseki? Ehehehehehee, amuamuu” Orochi

Orochi is eating her meal happily, whether the question is resolved or not. It seems that she is considerably pleased from having a comparison with her long silver hair.

“Is that sacred stone valuable? It seems that there are many shrines around Bunna"

"Well, Meri, is it true?"

"Yeah, but the other shrines are hidden so as not to be destroyed" Meri

It is a shrine to hide the rare ore......I wonder if there is any important role.

“I do not know those difficult reasonswhy that is so though. When the shrines are destroyed it will be the end for Bunna. Masu-ojiisan said so long ago!" Meri 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Dangerous matter......it is not a calm story.

“Hey Meri.Tell me a bit more about it......" Craft

"Oyaoyaa, Meri-chan! You grew bigger" Old woman

"Modra-obaachan! I'm sorry I recently could not visit you" Meri

A elderly woman who seemed to be acquainted with Meri came to our seats abruptly.......Does Meri not want to talk about the story of a while ago? She really wants to talk with familiar people instead.

“It's all right. If it's fine, why don't you all stay at our inn tonight?" Modra-obaachan

Eh? Is that okay? Modra-obaachan′s inn is a hot spring" Meri

"Of course, it's a good one. Is that your husband and your friends? It's good that they are in the same age as you" Modra-obaachan

Oh, it seems like I can get up to tonight's accommodation as the story unfolds. In the worst case we would camp outside, but it seems that we were able to find a bed somehow.

“What do you think, Craft-sensei?" Meri

"There is no reason to refuse it. With thanks I am willing to accept your kindness" Craft

"Yosha! Then Auntie! We're going to stay tonight!" Meri

"Okay, then it’s the end of this talk. Meri-chan, come to the inn later" Modra-obaachan

"Nahahaa, thanks, Auntie!" Meri

The accommodation of tonight has been decided, and the greeting to Meri′s grandfather will be done tomorrow. After that, let's go sightseeing and aim for Baretoria which is the next destination.

“No, I'm really glad that Meri-chan came back. Let's have a successful raid on Baretoria and wait for Bunna to be saved" Modra-obaachan

"An attack on Baretoria......? What the hell is that?”

To the cheering aunt's remark, we stopped eating and were confused. In spite of looking at each other′s face unintentionally, our eyes are colored with surprise and the sounds of our hearts resonate like a fast bell......something cold runs down my back. Uncomfortable, awkward silence flows......it was Musashi who broke it first.

“A, Ahahaha! The people of Bunna are good at making jokes......!" Musashi

"Is that so? No matter how much you say that Baretoria and Bunna are on bad terms" Craft

We are confused by so much funny stories that we thought it was a joke. However, to destroy such a pale hope......the aunt at the inn uttered words of denial.

“What are you talking about, Prince of Dibair!! The reason why you came all the way to Bunna is because you will help in the upcoming attack plan, right?"

A lady who does not do anything at all speaks. I do not think that this talk is very jokey. No way, is Bunna really intending to attack Baretoria?

“Don't worry, Prince-sama! We look like this and do quite well!!"

"It is really good to be able to get the back of Dibair! I don't feel like losing"

The young people of Bunna come in now like to catch up with us whose understanding is not catching up. It seems that the story is progressing on the premise that all of them allied with Dibair.

“Do, Don't mess around! Baretoria being attacked means I──Mogaa" Venu

"Not good Venusera. It will be painful, but please bear with it here......"

Efrika closes Venu′s mouth who knows the crisis of her country and become enraged. It's a good decision. Thank you, Efrika.

“MogaMogaa!!" Venu

"If you don't keep quiet, you will only make your own situation worse. You should refrain from being careless until you know what's happening" Efrika

As Efrika says, we have not understood this situation yet. Now that we can not predict what we should do, it is better to gather information.

“Se, Sensei......! What should we do? Everyone, for what reason......?" Meri

Meri, who seems to be most disturbed by the behavior of the citizens of Bunna. While trembling, she clung to my arms with a face that seemed to cry at any moment. Anyone would do so, when suddenly someone said such a thing suddenly after returning home for the first time.

“Don't panic. Meri. We behave naturally so as not to be suspicious" Craft

"Yes......Craft-sensei" Meri

I gently stroke Meri who is clinging to me and quietly stopped her trembling. And facing her tanned face......Meri opens her mouth as if she noticed something.

“Hey, maybe this banquet isn't just celebrating our marriage───" Craft

"Ah, it seems that we are celebrating the formation of a political marriage between Dibair and Bunna......" Efrika

"Even though Craft-dono was also married to both Venusera and I!"Musashi

We think together in a low voice so as not to be heard around. However, the people of Bunna talk in a cheerful attitude one after another, not to say such a thing.

“Wahahaha! Come on, Prince! Please eat more! Drink!"

"Meri's marriage partner is a very important person for us!"

There is no malice or calculation. Perhaps we should be honest about our marriage......they're glad that the relationship between Bunna and Dibair has become strong.

“Hahaa, Ha......our honeymoon is full of happenings"

While wiping the sweat floating on my forehead, it is hollowed out with unreasonable backlash. The fun party that seemed like heaven quickly changed into hell in a moment.

The next morning after we arrived at Bunna and the night was over. The inn that we stayed last night was comfortable and the bed was also soft and wonderful. The people of Bunna have a great hospitality to us......that is a good sign. But a lot of troubles still remained that hinder us to enjoy this kindness.

“Oh noo, Masu-ojiisama! We are in trouble!"

"Hmm, I see. At the banquet last night......"

We stayed overnight at the inn at the edge of Ergion, now we are visiting Meri's family, especially Meri's grandfather who is the Chief of the Jillboo-Lang tribe. Before the sunrise, we left the inn with sleepy eyes to solve this problem as soon as possible.

“First of all, I'm sorry for not greeting Craft-sama and his brides last night. When I was young, I was full of energy, but now I′m in this sorry state" Mars-ojiisama

Mars-ojiisama touches his long beard that extends to his navel with his fingertip. From the fact that we visited the house early in the morning, rather than showing unpleasant behavior to us, he invited us into the house by behaving like we are welcomed......he doesn't seem to be a bad person.

“However, there is fairly anyone from Bunna who is speaking with a local accent. I′m a little surprised" Craft

"HooHooHoo. If you′re an Baretorian, you can easily speak one or two accents. I thought that it was easy for everyone to talk with an accent" Venu

This consideration for us in other countries......he is truly the chieftain of the largest tribe in Bunna.

“Well before we getting to the business...... Meri, would you brew tea for everyone?" Mars-ojiisama

"Ah, yes! Then guys! Please wait a little!!" Meri

Leaving us behind on a large wooden table, Meri disappeared into the interior of the house. Igina-san went out to the banquet last night and seems not to have come back, so it is unavoidable that Meri will go to make tea.

“......Craft-dono. I will tell you in the midst of Meri's absence......to tell the truth, I was not willing to let you marry Meri" Mars-ojiisama

After confirming that Meri left the room, Mars-ojiisama starts talking with a hiss. It seems that he even bother making Meri go make tea, because there was a story he didn't want her to hear.

“Didn't want her to marry me? What do you mean, Mars-dono?" Craft

"Do you already understand the position of Bunna? The state of being oppressed by the people of other countries and abused as savages......I wanted to tell that girl about it" Mars-ojiisama

I thought that his persuasion was to hide the aim of the marriage to Meri because Meri was able to eat lots of delicious things, which gave her a chance to participate in the department of bride training, but...... at Bremfai Academy, what kind of treatment is being taken by the students of Bunna who studied after having entered the school…

“That's why I am surprised. That the innocent Meri married the Prince of Dibair, even without kissing a man before......as well as being one of five brides" Mars-ojiisama

"I am sorry about that point, but I am seriously willing to make everyone happy" Craft

"It's not that I don't blame you, I'm rather glad about it" Mars-ojiisama

Mars-ojiisama continues to laugh, against me who lowered his head at the level of rubbing against the table.

“Marriage is decided by the person itself. It doesn't matter if the marriage of five people is also a culpable reason. It is until we issued the example letter to confirm such" Mars-ojiisama

"Then Mars, are you not opposed to our marriage?" Kaitos

"That's right, young child of a dragon" Mars-ojiisama

Mars-ojiisama allows us to get married, this was the first barrier to break. The remaining problem is the feud between Baretoria and Bunna. From the air that I felt from the banquet last night, to be aware of it from the unusual air, it is no doubt that it will be a bad thing if I don't do something quickly.

“Emm, what I'd like to ask more than that......is the matter of the attack on Baretoria that I heard yesterday" Craft

"As for that matter......I have to tell you about the current situation of Bunna" Mars-ojiisama

"Oops! Everyone I kept you waiting! I brought the tea!" Meri

Meri comes back to the room with lots of cups and tea. It is just the right timing as it seemed to be a long story. When we received the cups one by one from Meri, we decided to listen slowly to Mars-ojiisama′s story.

“Bunna is a country that supports life through magic, but where does the magical power to support it come from......do you know that?" Mars-ojiisama

To that question, we shake our heads all at once. If you are told, you know that people spend their own magical power and use magic......I don't know the source of magic used for street lights.

“Fire, water, earth, wind, thunder. These powers work throughout everything in Bunna. But they all consume not only the personal magical power but also the power of this earth" Mars-ojiisama

"There is something called dragon vein, something I've heard when I did Feng Shui" Musashi

"What Musashi! Can you eat this Feng Shui? Does it taste delicious?!" Kaitos

"Katos, keep quiet, because Orochi is also quiet" Craft

Orochi who was crying until yesterday is quite easy to distinguish this morning.

“Huhhuhu, huhuhuuuh”

While looking at the scenery outside the window, it seems that she is humming a song and shaking her feet. Is it just my imagination? It seems that the poncho is shrinking compared to yesterday......

“May I continue the story?" Mars-ojiisama

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry" Craft

"The dragon vein doesn't only exist in Bunna, but is spread across Rusanas like a spider thread. We have pumped it up like well water and used it" Mars-ojiisama

It's so easy to explain, but what is that dragon vein? It seems that there is no fear attacking Baretoria......

"But the magic that flows in the dragon vein, if you use it like hot water it will be exhausted anyway. That is why we have been using it since ancient times......the power of that sacred stone" Mars-ojiisama

“Kishaaa!! Seiseki!” Orochi

As soon as we moved to the story of the sacred stones, Orochi who seemed not interested in a while ago turns around here. Since yesterday it seems that she is interested about the stones.

“As you may know, the sacred stone has the power to amplify magic power enormously. We used that stone......as a source of magic power and we have prevented the dragon vein from running out" Mars-ojiisama

"To be sure......you enshrined sacred stones in and around Bunna in order to keep the magical power of the dragon vein that flows throughout the whole country not to dry up" Craft

Everyone including me understand the purpose of the sacred stones from Efrika's words. As Meri said last night, it seems that the stones are very important for Bunna.

“That's right. Bunna is not primarily rich in magical power. But with the power of the sacred stones we have been called the most magical country on the continent" Mars-ojiisama

"I understand the relationship between Bunna and the sacred stones, but what kind of relationship does this have with Baretoria?" Craft

With the power of the sacred stones, Bunna can live a rich life without attacking Baretoria. I don't think there's any need to cause a war, but......

“Yes. To tell the truth, it is a troubling problem now......" Mars-ojiisama

Holding his head, Mars-ojiisama shook his head as if he was in trouble. As we watch him take a breath, it seems that Mars-ojiisama is trying to squeeze out words in a bitter way.

“The sacred stone shrine hidden near the border with Baretoria......was destroyed by the hand of Baretoria" Mars-ojiisama

"Shaaa!! That's not good!" Orochi

It was Orochi who responded to Mars-ojiisama′s words first. The speed of that reaction and the tremendous angry look are so that our reactions are delayed unexpectedly.

“Please wait! Baretoria destroys the shrine of the sacred stone? Why on earth would they do that?" Venu

Because her country is involved? Venu follows Orochi and became very angry. Certainly, as Venu says, why did Baretoria destroy the shrine?

“......Apparently Baretoria seems to be constructing a new military base near the border with Bunna. It seems that the shrine of the sacred stone was destroyed during the construction" Mars-ojiisama

"A military base? They′re building such a thing near the border......"

It's like the premise of war. Moreover, when a important shrine of Bunna is destroyed......deliberately or by accident, the people of Bunna won't be killed.

“No, Not good!! Baretoria does something like that to other countries"

"Unfortunately it is a fact and more than that, the shrine has a particularly important role among the many shrines. The result of destroying it......is now the state of Bunna"

Speaking of which, when we arrived at Bunna, I saw dying plants. Meri felt that the air was thin at that time, probably because the concentration of magic in the atmosphere was weakening.

“That base is on the source of the dragon vein which is flowing through Bunna. We have to return the sacred stone as fast as possible......either the earth's magical power will be exhausted or Bunna will be gone as the magic country" Mars-ojiisama

We listen to Mars′s story and recognize the seriousness of the situation. It is likely that the magic will be lost from the ground of Bunna before that though the threatening action Baretoria took is a serious problem.......

“Ji, Jii-sama! Isn't there anything you can do!" Meri

"In the event of an emergency, there is a reserve for the stone, but the stone that we set up at the border with Baretoria is especially large......and cannot be exchanged. A sacred stone with an average size can't bear the enormous magic flow that is overflowing from the source and will break" Mars-ojiisama

"In other words......we are in a deadlock?" Craft

Even if Baretoria withdrew the military base......if there is no alternative sacred stone, then the problem isn't solved. In a word, Bunna will perish if they can’t get it back.

“No, Craft-dono. We still have a way”

It was a straight line of despair, but it seems that it's still too early to give up. We listen to the words of Mars while listening to the sense of urgency.

“Do you know that a shooting tournament will be held in Baretoria tomorrow?" Mars-ojiisama

"Shooting tournament? I knew about it......but tomorrow already?" Craft

When looking towards Venu who is next to me, she naturally nods. Perhaps the enjoyment Venu said before departure......was it about the shooting tournament?

“But what is the relationship between the shooting tournament and the sacred stone?" Craft

"Actually, one of the winning prizes for that tournament is a necklace made by processing that stone." Mars-ojiisama

"What! Is that true?"

"Yes, fortunately, it seems that the stone was being collected when the shrine was destroyed and thanks to its rarity and beauty, it was valued as an decorative item" Mars-ojiisama

A necklace made of a sacred stone......Bunna will be saved with it. Therefore, it is necessary to gain the necklace by all means.

“We also offered negotiations to Baretoria many times.We demanded the withdrawal of the base and return of the sacred stone pieces. If they fulfill the demand then the crisis can be prevented…..." Mars-ojiisama

"But the negotiation didn't go well" Craft

"Yes, there is nothing to negotiate with Bunna for Baretoria......" Mars-ojiisama

It seems that it is always Baretoria who tends to look down on Bunna, but it does not bend its attitude towards the crisis of that country......nevertheless, people are frightened. Although it might have been anguish to cause a war at the time of construction of the base in the first place.

“It is terrible. Even opportunities for discussion can’t be held properly......." Mars-ojiisama

"There is no reply......! What on earth is her Majesty thinking?" Venu

"......Don't be depressed, Baretoria′s bride. The Queen of Baretoria also has a position. She used to be a friend of my daughter a long time ago......." Mars-ojiisama

Mars′s daughter......Igina-san, isn't it? Igina-san said she was an old acquaintance with the Queen of Baretoria, but..... the relationship now seems to be the worst.

“How about you take your time and discuss it? I think with the mediation of Dibair, they probably will withdraw their base and give back the sacred stone" Craft

"I also thought about that proposal, but the question is, how much time does Bunna have?" Mars-ojiisama

Bunna′s people were so anxious about the attack. It seems that the current state in which Bunna is put is considerably bad.

“How is it, Mars-ojiisama?" Craft

"......Bunna has already begun to wither, not only crops, but also plants because of the disappearance of the sacred stone. If this condition continues......then the earth of Bunna will die" Mars-ojiisama

"There is no delay to wait for the resolution in discussion" Craft

"It seems like you understand and what's more, we would like to avoid war......" Mars-ojiisama

Even if you do not want to fight, the fate of the country hangs over the temptation. The agree of Mars is a sound argument, and it may be inevitable that this will become a war.

“I understand the situation. But......"

No matter what the circumstances, I can’t fight with my wife's country.

“Umm......Craft! Here I......" Venu

"It, it is serious chieftain!"

When Venu was about to say something, a man rushed into the room. It seems to be one of Mars's subordinates, but he is nothing extraordinary.

“You are in front of guests. What are you panicking about?" Mars-ojiisama

"Haa, Haa, I, Igina-sama is gathering people in the Great Plaza to attack the base of Baretoria now! If you won’t stop her in a hurry it will be serious!"

The man shouts while breathing roughly. Everyone in this place stands up from the chair all at once hearing this shocking news.

“That idiotic girl......acting rashly" Mars-ojiisama

"First of all it's pretty obvious. Everyone, let's go!" Craft

"I rely on you, Craft-dono!!! I will follow you as soon as possible!" Mars-ojiisama

Instead of Mars, we quickly jumped out of the room and ran out of the house. From the high position of the treehouse, the appearance of the Great Plaza is seen well. There might be a lot of people than the time of the banquet as a good number of people gathered. We hurry up and jump from the top of the tree and run towards the Great Plaza.

“All right, everyone! We're going to crush those Baretorians! The base under construction will be destroyed and the sacred stone is regained! Let's clear up our daily grudges!" Igina-san

"Wait a minute! Wait!" Craft

‘’Mother! What are you doing without permission!" Meri

When we find Igina-san who makes a speech on the platform set up in the Great Plaza, I and Meri raise a voice of restraint while moving through the crowd. We managed to get here in time.

“Ahmm? What, Meri, did you guys come as reinforcement?" Igina-san

Looking down at us from the top of the stand, Igina-san smiles happily.

“It's different! We came to stop Mother!" Meri

"It will become a war with Baretoria if you continue! Please cool your head!"

"What are you saying, Meri? I have to do it or that crappy Queen will destroy our country!" Igina-san

When Igina-san raises her voice, the people who gathered also raise their voices. It becomes a frightening growl when everyone shouts in chorus, but we should not be frustrated here. To rephrase, that moment when I tried to open my mouth──

“Please wait! If you complain about Baretoria, then please say it to me!" Venu

"He, Hey Venu! What are you doing!!" Craft

"I decided! I will do my best with my own blockhead!" Venu

Venu jumps in front of the table where Igina-san stands, not losing to the pressure that seems to be rare. While pointing at Igina-san on the table, she went to challenge her straight on!

“......That's right, Zefirio′s son was married to a princess of Baretoria" Igina-san

"Yes, I′m Baretoria′s former second princess.....Venusera" Venu

People in the surroundings who are going home hear the word "Princess"......and show a different reaction from last night. I wonder if they thought that she is also my wife.

“Don't be noisy, you guys! I'm going to kill you all!" Igina-san

However, Igina-san doesn't change her complexion and glares with cold eyes at Venu......below. Ah, didn't she put Venu who is below the stand into her eyes.

“What's with the former second princess? Even if I hurt you, the situation is not solved" Igina-san

"It is natural, but that doesnt mean I can overlook your doing!" Venu

Two people glare at each other. I want to join in......but I don't know what to say. I understand the feelings of Venu, but I also understand the circumstances of Igina-san......

“Then what is it? Do you think we should overlook how Bunna will be destroyed?" Igina-san

"I haven't said that. I would rather say that there is away for a frontal attack without it becoming a conflict" Venu

Venu says such a thing with a confident look.

“Frontal attack? I don't understand what you mean!" Igina-san

"Venu, what are you planning to do......?" Craft

I do not know what will happen to Baretoria as for the citizens of Bunna who have expressed clear hostility before speaking of Baretoria to Venu. While we are watching over with anxious and uneasy eyes......Venu screams with a confident voice.

“The frontal attack is that.....I'm going to compete in the shooting tournament and win it!" Venu

Straightforward exactly. If it is not taken away and you use your own way by a proper procedure, nobody can complain. Bunna and Baretoria have no need to fight.

“I will hand over the necklace with the sacred stone to Bunna. How about this" Venu

"I don't know what to say......but first of all, are you really able to win the first place?" Igina-san

It is no use trying to think so from Igina’s point of view who does not know Venu's ability. Even more so the citizens of Bunna, who have always been looked down by Baretoria. They can't trust us and we cannot blame them for being sceptic. Even though I know Venu, she continues to speak in a resolute attitude, even after receiving the suspicions of everyone.

“If we couldn't win, we would steal the sacred stone from the winner!" Venu

It is a bullish remark because it is not doubted that I am defeated. No, maybe she is serious. Even I who saw Venu′s anticipation, thought that Venu could do it now.

“But Venu. I'm not doubting your victory, but......even if you win, we still have a problem with that military base" Kaitos

As Kaitos pointed out, it can not be said that the problem was solved simply by recovering the sacred stone. To the end, the sacred stone need to be enshrined in its original place......and Bunna is saved.

“It's okay. The winner will be granted any wish he has. Some of the past winners have become lords, others have created new laws" Venu

"Oooo! If you use tat privilege, you will be able to remove the base from the border!" Igina-san

"That's right. Isn't there any complaint?" Venu

Good Venu. Certainly this method seems to avoid war without shedding a drop of blood. After that I wonder whether or not Igina will be convinced......is it tough?

“......Chii! I don't know if you will keep your promise or not!"

After all, even if such a thing is suddenly said they are confused. Igina-san is not going to believe Venu's words......and it seems that the people in the surroundings are the same.

“How do you do? Do you believe that Baretorian princess?"

"You may say I believe her......is she really a Baretorian?"

"If she can do it without fighting, I'd prefer her to do that......but"

"If Igina-san is against it, then we are against it either!"

Because there is a consciousness that they don't want to fight in their hearts......Bunna′s people are trying to listen to Venu′s words. However, it is not possible to accept Venu's proposal because Igina-san doesn’t agree. They seemed weary to decide what they should do.

“Uuuuu! I'm begging everyone! Please believe us!" Meri

The appearance of such people was able to be seen, and this time, instead of Venu, Meri jumped out ahead. Gathering the gazes of the surroundings, the action she took was──

“We'll definitely save Bunna! So please trust us!" Meri

With both hands, she was bowing down and rubs her forehead against the ground.

“Naa, Meri-dono! Why are you kneeling on the ground?”

The confusion spreads more and more to a extent that nobody did expect. Even I. I can't make my precious wife do such a thing......what a pity!

“Meri, it's okay. If you need to kneel down, then I will do it. You do not have to do that" Craft

Tugging Meri with her head down, I look up at Igina-san. What are you going to do as her mother, letting your daughter do this?

“Y, you ! How dare you act like this Meri !“

Igina-san seems to have been completely angry and she applied strengthening magic which she showed last night to her arms......and jumps off the table.

“If you still want to get in the way, I will hit you!!!" Igina-san

Igina-san lifts up her right arm with a lump of rock and rushes toward Meri. No matter if it is her mother or not, I can't overlook an attack on my wife. As soon as I tried to respond quickly, I tried to put my hand on Danthes......but a strange thing happened.

“Ngaa, hurry up and leave!" ???

A water current suddenly sprang up from the ground and coils around Igina-san to restrain her. This is water magic......! Efrika should only be able to use healing magic. So this magic belongs to──

“"Damn it! What are you doing! You old geezer!" Igina-san

"......You lose Igina" Mars-ojiisama

It was Mars-ojiisama who appeared with a long wooden cane in his hands. The water current holding down Igina seems to be his magic.

“Look at the eyes of these children. There is no hesitation, they believe that they can do it" Mars-ojiisama

Mars-ojiisama points with his cane at Meri and Venu who are showing a soft smile. Apparently, he has observed the situation from the shadows.

“Today or tomorrow, the country won't be destroyed. Can you give them a chance?" Mars-ojiisama

"No! I can't believe that these kids will be able to save Bunna!" Igina-san

"Foolish daughter, you lost sight because of your anger. Even if you go to war with Baretoria, there is no guarantee that Bunna will be saved. I think you should bet on these youngsters" Mars-ojiisama

That's right, Mars-ojiisama turns towards us, smiling with a grin.

“Craft-dono and all his brides. I believe in you……”

Mars-ojiisama, who snapped his finger released his magic that constraint Igina′s movement.

“However, as the person who governs this country...... I can't go with my personal reason alone. If Craft fails, I will do a strong action plan" Mars-ojiisama

As the chieftain of the clan that leads Bunna, Mars-ojiisama says such words. His gentle voice also contained severity, proving that he was not just a sweet person.

“I know. We will definitely meet your expectations" Craft

"Okay, then everyone......is that fine?" Mars-ojiisama

Mars-ojisama calls out to the surroundings as if to get a confirmation, but no one casts an objection and everyone kept silent, staring at us. Perhaps he is trying to figure out who is trusting in us with his own eyes.

“Kishaaa! Seiseki, let's get it back!" Orochi

"Ahaahaahaahaa, Orochi is also burning!"

Without knowing that she is seen with such eyes, we also start to laugh at Orochi′s appearance. No, seriously, it's bad for the heart.

“By the way Craft, we have to hurry if we want to reach the shooting tournament which is tomorrow" Kaitos

Kaitos is sticking her chest against me from behind. Probation is necessary for the participation, so we surely should hurry up.

“Then, Mars-ojiisama, we will head towards Baretoria now" Craft

"I am sorry that I couldn't give you a big hospitality and I am sorry, for letting you fight for our sake......I pray from my heart, that you won't lose!" Mars-ojiisama

"Don't hit me so suddenly, old man!" Igina

Mars-ojiisama knocks on the head of Igina, who had still been hostile to us with the tip of his cane. Igina-san has a complicated look, but it seems that she realized that it will be in vain if she continues so she lowers her head a little.

“......Be sure to win! I will kill you if you lose!" Igina-san

Saying that much, Igina-san leaves with the people who gathered.

“Hey! You can do it by the time the kids come back! Let the men split apart and go to see the outfield! The women go to make devil fertilizer!" Mars-ojiisama

We are going to stop it so that no more damage will be caused by the decline of magical power. Unlike yesterday's banquet, she leads the people like she has charisma. I wonder if the day will come when I can pull people in such a way.

“Um, Craft, I……" Venu

"Thank you Venu. Thanks to you, my head is still attached to my body" Craft

"No......but, if we can’t get results, it's just irresponsible behavior" Venu

It is Venu who shows a bearish face as soon as possible. All right, we should encourage her here!

“Do not worry. At that time I will take all responsibility......that is my duty as your husband, is not it?" Craft

I decided so and I was praising myself selfishly......

“No, it's wrong, Nii-san" Efrika

"Yeah, it's as if you said something unrelated" Musashi

"Idiot......" Kaitos

"I think that it has nothing to do with you, Craft-sensei!" Meri

Total unexpected scun. I get pierced by the cold eyes of my wives.

“It is okay Craft! I think it's good for a husband to protect his wife, but......but such a thing is nothing for us!" Venu

"The responsibilities of Craft-sensei are also our responsibilities. We are married, right?" Meri

I seem to have misunderstood them. I said that I′m a husband who supports everybody.

“.....Ah, yes. I′m wrong” Craft.

But it was different. We're in a relationship that either gives or is given unilaterally.

“Let's go, everyone! Lets save Bunna, together!" Craft

We share the same things if they are funny or even painful. That’s a couple. And it’s too soon to laugh.
