“I’m sorry? Me? As Princess Lynfil’s spouse......?” Yunoh, the young man who was a candidate for eventually succeeding the Keroriga breedings grounds, was thoroughly taken back. “More like, who are you people?!”
“Don’t sweat the small details. So then, what do you think?”
“You all...... wait, wait, wait, of course I’d say no to suddenly being asked to marry the princess. If I remember correctly, she’s still only 8! Moreover, our status is also too far apart.”
“What if you don’t have to worry about minor details like that?”
“Those are extremely important details though!”
“Then who would you recommend? Give us the opinion of a man that is a cut above other men.”
“Eh? Then...... how about a prince from another country?”
“Can’t you come up with something better than such a cliché?”
“There are no requirements on face nor social status. If pressed to say, then a strong person with an upstanding personality would be strongly preferred,” cut in Lynfil with her face hidden deeply behind a hood.
“A strong person with an upstanding personality...... If I really had to name a specific person, then my benefactor fits the bill perfectly.”
Benefactor? The young girls tilted their heads.
Yunoh began to speak with veneration. “Although his appearance is a little scary, he is an extremely upstanding man who can accurately see through someone else’s circumstances and even the dreams that they don’t realize themselves, and then provide precise advice in a sympathetic way. From what I hear, he’s also so strong that he could defeat a dragon with an open palm.”
“D-Does such a saint-like person with such manliness truly exist?”
“Sure he does. Ah, but he’s already married. I only mentioned him as an example of someone suitable for Her Royal Highness.”
“Hmm, could there be another of equally remarkable character? Very well then, who’d be your next recommendation? You may speak.”
“You sound a bit self-important, you know......? Umm, strong, upstanding character, still single...... then how about Sidorias Geolta, the Platinum class adventurer nicknamed ‘Dragonslayer’?”
Kana nodded with great interest. “If it’s Sid-onii-chan, then he’s probably going to be visiting Yuna-nee today too.”
“What heartening news. Knowing his location would save us much time. Let’s go visit him immediately.”
“Sure thing, let’s go. Oi~ Emalia-sensei!” Kana called out to Emalia, who was standing behind them looking dead tired. Until a short while ago, she had been thrown around while clinging to the tail of a living creature flying at high speed. Therefore, she was currently suffering from symptoms very similar to motion sickness.
“Want to change places?”
“I-If possible......”
After helping the tired Emalia onto Puru’s back, Kana also positioned Hina in front and Lynfil behind her, then went over to grab the tip of Puru’s tail as her eyes sparkled with expectation.
“So then, Yunoh, was it? Thank you for your time. We wish you the best with finding a spouse of your own.”
While seeing off the kid that had been self-important to the very end, Yunoh thought to himself, Nahhh, no way...... Regardless of how the characteristics seemed to match so well, there was no way that the princess who ruled over an entire country would show up in a place like this. So he quickly chased this impossible thought out of his mind—
