The Laid-back Life in Another World of the Ex-Hero Candidate Who Turned out to be a Cheat from Level 2

◇◇ The Princess Queen’s office at Cry Road Castle

On this day, the Princess Queen had been looking over documents in her office since early in the morning.

Her father, the previous king, had been involved in injustice and misdeeds in the past, and she felt quite guilty about it.

That’s why, even though the number of corrupt business deals by the underworld merchants known as the Dark Lord had dramatically decreased in recent years, the number of documents that the Queen had to go through had not decreased.

The Queen, who had finished her breakfast in her office, continued to look through the documents in silence, occasionally calling her lady-in-waiting and civil servants to give them individual instructions, and then starting to look through the next document again.

And then

The door to his office was suddenly pushed open.

“Elisabeth, may I have a word?

Mother ……, what is it?

The Princess Queen sat up, looking surprised at the sudden visit of her own mother.

She was once the wife of the king that the Princess Queen had banished.

She had been allowed to stay in the castle because she had been suspected of having a lot to do with the king’s misdeeds, but no proof had been found, and she had divorced the king when he was expelled. However, she hadn’t been out of her room much since the king’s expulsion, and it had been a long time since she had come to visit the Queen.

“I’ve heard from the people in the castle that you’ve been doing all the judging of small crimes that should be punished with a sentence of about 20 days…”

The reason why she was judging every little thing was to regain the trust of the king that had been lost due to the former king’s misrule.

However, to speak of it here would be to denounce the man who was my mother’s ex-husband.

Therefore, the Princess Queen pondered what to say

Watching her, my mother let out a small sigh and said

…… I know. I know that you are forcing yourself like that in order to atone for the sins committed by that man who was the former king.

After saying that, she bowed reverently to the Princess Queen.

The fact that the Queen Mother referred to her ex-husband, the ex-king, as ‘that man’, made the Princess Queen feel somewhat happier.

As for the mother of the princess, that was her goal as well, and I could say that her feelings were properly conveyed.

“But if you keep pushing yourself like that, you’ll get yourself into trouble. Taking a rest before is also important.” As she said this, the Queen Mother put her hand on the Princess Queen’s shoulder and smiled gently at her.

Why don’t you go to the castle’s recreation facility and take a rest for a week or so?

During that time, you can let the second princess take over the duties. It is also the duty of those who rise to the top to nurture those below them.

It’s a good idea to have the second princess take over for you.

I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that I’m not the only one.

The Second Empress

She is the younger sister of the Princess Queen, and she is more than a year older than the Princess Queen.

She had just graduated from a school for children of aristocrats, so naturally she had no experience in office work, and Queen Hime was planning to teach her slowly.

But the Princess Queen’s mother was aware of her feelings and said, “We will not decide on the difficult matters until you return. If you let the civil servants and court ladies who are assisting you help you, they will be able to make a decision. I will assist you in any way I can.

While saying that, she smiles at the princess.

“Hmm …”

I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do this, but I’m going to be able to do it.

◇◇ The Queen’s mother, who had agreed to take a rest and left the office, was smiling at her mouth as she walked down the hallway.

As if in response to her voice, a maid who had been hiding behind a pillar slowly walked up to her side.

…… Tell the countries’ noblemen who are sending arranged marriage photos to her that the Princess Queen is going on a secret retreat.

That’s what the Queen’s Mother said shortly.

Hearing this, the maid bowed reverently once and walked off in a different direction from the Queen Mother.

From a distance, the two of them looked like they were just passing each other.

But the Queen’s Mother had a smile on her face again as she looked at the back of the maid as she walked away.

It’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re looking for. …… Now that she’s gone to her retreat, prospective grooms will be flooding in.

If someone wins her over, the man’s family will give me a large reward. ……

The princess queen’s mother couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

I’m sure she’s the ex-wife of that man.

Julio’s villa on the outskirts of the city of Souziya

The day after the Souziya Winter Festival ended, Julio and his group were at Souziya’s villa again.

In addition to cleaning up Ugo’s stall, Julio and Uriminas were also participating in a consolation party for the participants of the stall, which was held until dawn.

All the members of the Julio family gathered in the living room, talking about the events of the Winter Festa and eating breakfast in their own way.

As Julio recalled the events of last night, a wry smile appeared on his face.

But Mr. Carter-Walker was amazing, he sang for over five hours straight.

Last night at the consolation party, Carter Walker, the head of the town of Souziya, who organized the party, said, “Thanks to all of you, this year’s Winter Festival has been a great success!

It’s all thanks to you!

I’ve written a song to express my gratitude, so please listen to it!

As soon as she said that, she called the staff band behind her and continued to sing until the end of the party.

Remembering the scene, Ulymynas also smiled.

“Well, thanks to that, we were able to have a frank discussion, so it wasn’t all bad.

“That’s true.

Julio nodded at Uriminus’ words.

Ugo’s stall at the Soujiya Winter Festival was the most popular of the winter festival.

In addition to sales, Uriminus received a lot of business from other stores because of the many items he sold that were rarely seen even in the castle town, such as armor made of dragon scales.

I’ll be busy when I get back.

He was humming to himself as he checked the stack of business cards he’d exchanged, and nibbled on a head of grilled fish for breakfast.

We’ll be on our way to Houtau by noon. We’ll leave for Houtau at noon.

Everyone at the table nodded in agreement to Julio’s words.

Next to Julio, his wife Lise, her face flushed and her cheeks flushed with vermilion, leaned over him.

Julio had returned home near dawn after a late night party hosted by the town.

He was still basking in the afterglow of the event, as Reese had been ＊＊＊＊＊ and ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ waiting for him just before breakfast.

…… Master, Reese is happy.

I’ve heard that there are hot springs in the town of Souziya.

Julio gently stroked Reese’s head and opened his mouth to everyone.

Julio gently stroked Lys’s head as he spoke to the others, “I heard it’s a pretty nice place, even has a recreation center for the nobles of the castle.”

Recalling the story he had heard during last night’s get-together, Ulymynas brought the second fish to his mouth.

“Well, that’s good. We can go home after enjoying the hot spring.

Gozaru, who was shoveling in his eighth bowl of rice, laughed.

In the midst of all this, Rhys, reacting to the word “hot spring,” put his mouth close to the ear of Ulymynas.

I wonder if there is a hot spring …… there that offers childbirth.

I’m not sure if you’ve heard of it or not, but…… of course nya.

I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that I’m not the only one.

I’m not sure if you’ve heard of it, but I have.

I plan to question him again after the rebirth work is completed.

Yygard clucked loudly as he listened to the report from his aide, the succubus Huhn.

“What’s Jorminit doing at ……?

It seems that …… Yorminito is still hiding in the human city with his men.

…… Shall we call him back?

He had always had absolute faith in the former demon king, Go’ulu, and while he recognized her abilities, he had always felt that she was disrespectful of him

Yougard holds raises his head and sighs.

Huhn, who was staring at the situation from the side, said

“Master Yuigard, why don’t you go to the hot springs for a change?

What?

Huhn, who was looking at him, said, “Master Yuigard, would you like to go to a hot spring for a change?
