“Ojii-syama!”
“Oh, you’re back . ”
I asked to be let down from the basket and ran to Ojii-sama, who was waiting .
“Ooh, she’s tottering . ”
“Noth thoththering!”
“Yo-you’re right . Well, you walk pretty quick . ”
He was obviously flattering me, but it’s better than nothing . Then, Ojii-sama lifted me up high .
“Looks like it all went to plan?”
“Ai! We’ww shthiww be thogethher . ” (Ai! We’ll still be together . )
“I see, I see . ”
We were talking about mean things, but to others, it looked like a warm-hearted interaction between an elderly person and a child .
“Uncle, I want to try that . ”
“That? Alright . ”
Nico coaxed Prince Al to raise him higher . Prince Al, who was awkwardly lifting Nico up, didn’t have time to pay attention to what we were saying to each other . He really is a handful .
“I wondered how it would turn out . Honestly, the next generation of the Four Marquises are such mischievous children . But still, couldn’t you at least try to stop the two, Gill-dono?” Earl Coulter approached while looking disappointed . Then, he talked to Gill who looked like he was understanding . Apparently, Nii-sama and I came as a package and he assumed that Nii-sama was reckless too . I’m sorry .
“I might be a little older than them, but it’s impossible for me to stop these two . ”

“So that’s why you followed them and backed them up . ”
Gill grinned and shrugged lightly .
The Four Marquises are equal . Therefore, there was no concentration of power anywhere and no one was under anyone . In regard to Nico and this trip, Gill behaved as if he was on reserve, but that’s not true .
He was more straightforward than Nii-sama, he’s also frank and takes action . An 11 year old boy wouldn’t have been allowed to come find me and pick me up . Nii-sama was only allowed to go because Gill was with him .
He was only backing us up because he wanted to . If someone only saw that he was following us, then they must be blind .
Earl Coulter stared at me in shock while I was in Ojii-sama’s arms, then he squinted his eyes in amusement .
“Lei-dono, so did I pass?”
“Ai . ”
Earl Coulter, who could properly assess Gill, is a decent person . Or rather, he was a decent man from the start .
“It’s a bit late, but we’ve finished preparing, so I think we’ll set off now . ”
“Yes . You’re a little behind schedule . ”
We’re running late because His Highness wanted to go to Purgatory Island . It’s definitely not because I insisted on returning to the royal capital .
“I know . Don’t look at me like that . ”
“I’m woowing ath you normawwy . ” (I’m looking at you normally)
“No, you’re not . ”
Our conversation was nostalgic . Huu . Is he doing well?
“Uncle, this isn’t the time to play with Lei, right?”
“We’re not playing . ”

Prince Al quickly gave the order to leave . Then we started preparing .
“Minnie!”
“Kyee!”
“Now, grab my head,” the dragons gathered . It’s actually easier for me to be put into the basket, but it was hard to ask Hans to put me in the basket since I tried my best to show my hand before .
“Ai!”
I opened up my arms and squeezed onto a dragon’s head, and he picked me up . He slowly moved me to the basket, and when I let go, I got put into the basket without a hitch .
“Me too!”
“Kyee . ”
“Nico . You’re riding in the carriage . ”
“Why Uncle?”
“Because…”
He didn’t have a reason for this, but he probably felt that it was somehow dangerous .
“Isn’t it fine if Uncle rides a rug dragon too?”
“That’s…” Prince Al stopped speaking there, and I could tell that he thought it was fun, but he was hesitant because of Nico’s safety .
“I’m next to Lei . ”
“Ai!”
Nii-sama smiled as he secured my belt .
“Kyee . ”

“What’s with you? Are you telling me you want Nico to get on?”
“Kyee . ”
“So, you understand me, hurry, hurry,” the Rug Dragon urged Prince Al .
“Alright . Fine . But it’s cold on top of a dragon . If you get tired or cold, then tell me straight away,” Prince Al looked at Nico and said, then he looked at me .
“Leila, you too . ”
“Ai!”
“It’s strange for you to be honest . ”
Rude . I can hear him even if he speaks in a quiet voice . Nii-sama, this isn’t the time to giggle .
“Now, let’s ride on the dragon . Coulter, thanks for looking after us . ”
“Neville, it’s alright . I’ll stay here and wait for their return . But, you…”
I’m sure he wanted to say, “You have to bring the troublesome infants and Prince safely to the place where the marriage interview is being held . ”
“What? It’s been a while since I’ve had this much fun . It’s exciting to see what will come . ”
Without agreeing or disagreeing, Ojii-sama turned his dragon to the north . The only thing left is to leave . The rug dragons glanced this way as if they were expecting something .
I also felt anticipation from the basket on the other side of the dragon as well .
“Fine . Nico can ushe shignaw . ”
“Are you sure?!”
“Ai . ”
As soon as the adults turned around to see what was happening, Nico shouted loudly .
“GO!”
“Kyee!”
“Kyee!”
Cute children . We’re leaving at last .
“Oi, what, woah . ”
I pulled out the flute Otou-sama gave me from my clothes .
“Puu, puu . ”
“Kyee!”
“Kyee!”
Now, let’s move to this wonderful sound .
“Hey, what’s going on all of a sudden?”
“Kyee!”
“Kyee!”
Our comrades are waiting in the north .
“Go!”
“Kyee!”
“Kyee!”
“We’re no match for Lei . ”
Now, let’s go to Ojii-sama’s place!
