Birthday Party (Incident Before The Start 1)
〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜Ferris side〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜
When I noticed, it seems like I’ve already run outside.
“Haa, I ran out because of the course of events but what should I do?”
I nestle close to a tree that’s outside. Why did it turn out like this?
I look downwards thinking about various things and over there
“Oi, you!”
“Eh?”
3 boys were standing there surrounding me. Judging from their appearances, they appear to be some nobles’ sons. They probably came to the birthday party.
“……Do you have any business with me?”
“How impolite, you! This gentleman is Marquis Pudding House’s son, Pupunpu-sama! What kind of attitude are you taking towards that gentleman!”
“Now now, don’t raise your voice soppu. I am magnanimous so I will forgive something of this degreeppu”
Pupunpu who says that and grins broadly. That disgusting way of laughing reminds me of them. I thought about that and my body starts to tremble. Even though I thought I already overcame it, it looks like it’s still no good……
“Sorry. I have something on so I’m going”
I wanted to quickly get away from these guys. Disgusting……
I was about to leave and, ‘gashii!’1, my arm was grasped firmly. Eh?
“You! Even though Pupunpu-sama went through the trouble to talk to you, what’s that attitude! I don’t know your noble rank but you’re being impertinent!”
……Doing such things just because they don’t know who I am. The moment I thought about that, I recalled what Otou-sama and the others said just now.
Aa, is that so. I had done something like this to him huh. Perhaps they thought that me thinking was my lack of intention to resist, the sons start to pull my arm.
“Hora, prostate and apologize to Pupunpu-sama. Hora, hora!”
He grabs my head and tries to forcibly bring me down.
“Ouch! St, stop it! Otherwise, I’ll se……”
I was about to say「I’ll send you flying」but, I recall the conversation in the room again. I can’t. If I punched him then won’t it be the same as previously again. For a daughter to make her father lower his head……
“Puppu. It’s because I’m magnanimous. If it’s you then you can become my nice pet. I shall forgive you with that”
“Oo, that is a good idea. Pupunpu-sama! Come now, rejoice, beastfolk! You can become the great Pupunpu-sama’s pet!”
The sons who burst into laughter at that. No! If I remember the incident from that time! I already can’t stop trembling.
“What is with this fellow. She began to slightly tremble”
“She is feeling glad that she can become Pupunpu-sama’s pet!”
“Is that so, is that so. Cute fellow, cute fellow!”
So, somebody help. Alexioneesama. ……Lei.
I thought of that and
“What are you guys doing?”
The sons and I look towards the direction of the voice and over there, Lei was standing with a furious expression.
〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜Lei side〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜
I was urged by Sieg and Alexia and came searching for Princess Ferris.
“Good grief, where did she go. That tomboy princess”
I thought I chased after her immediately but I can’t find her even though I have been searching for close to 10 minutes. It’s still my second time coming into the Royal Palace as well so I don’t know the place.
I move forward as I search and found the path that leads outside. I try going outside and……oo! I found her at last! She came until a place like this in that short time.
I get closer and I realise that it’s not just Princess Ferris. What is with those guys? I guess they are our country’s nobles’ son though. Thereupon
“Puppu. It’s because I’m magnanimous. If it’s you then you can become my nice pet. I shall forgive you with that”
……What are those guy saying. To the ally’s princess. Furthermore, why is Princess Ferris not resisting? Having her head and arm grabbed like that. Hey, the part on the arm is bruising.
I approach Princess Ferris and the others.
“What are you guys doing?”
I call out to them and, everybody turns over here.
“What is with you. This has nothing to do with you. Quickly buzz off”
“That’s right. Buzz off while Pupunpu-sama still allows it. You’re in the way”
The followers at the back say that to me. What is with ‘Pupunpu’. Weird name.
“You guys, do you understand what you’re doing?”
“……What are you talking aboutppu?”
“I’m asking if you guys know who the lady you are grabbing is”
I daunt them with magic power as I say that. The three people who received that
“Pupuu!”
let out a cry. ……Somehow, it’s like I’m being ridiculed so I got angry.
“Yo, you, do you know who this gentleman is! This gentleman is Marquis Pudding House’s son, Pupunpu-sama! That attitude towards that gentleman!”
“I will say it then, the lady you guys are grabbing now is the First Princess of Beastfolk Country Worvest, the ally of Nanor Kingdom, Princess Ferris・Worvest. What is that attitude towards that lady!”
I declare as I raise my magic power even higher than before. All of the sons’ eyes are turning into dots.
“Wha? Eh? Wha?”
I go to Princess Ferris’ side through the gap where the sons release their hands and moved away, I take her hand as it is and pull her closer. Why is she trembling so much? Even though it’s fine if she just sends them flying like she did with me.
“Are you alright, Princess Ferris?”
“……E, ee. I’m fine”
Where are you fine, good grief……what are you saying with your pale face.
“If I’m not wrong, you said you’re Marquis Pudding House’s son, right. I shall speak about this matter with His Majesty. Please prepare yourself for whatever may happen”
I say that and the three of them sat down. Geez, it’s whatever so we’ll just leave as it is.
“Let us go, Princess Ferris”
“Ee”
……Somehow everything is going amiss.
