“Was lunch good?”
“Yep, I could taste all the delicious love you put in.”
“Eh-heh-heh-heh-heh,” Mika giggled joyfully.

Earlier, I had seen Uruto and Parasuna make similar expressions… they were probably happy… and I likely also radiated joy right now.

Incidentally, these days, I started using magic beast materials for cooking as much as possible. It would be a waste to just let this stuff sit in the magic bag forever. I was also thinking of using the other materials to create some divine grade devices. But only after Uruto and Parasuna’s wedding was over.

“Ayumu~, what will you do later?”
“Hm? I don’t have any other big plans today, so after prepping the cooking materials, I’m free.”
“Gotcha.”

After we were done eating dinner and had put the tableware away, Mika came to my side.

“Now, the meal is over, so next will be ‘me’, right?”
“Eh?”
“And afterwards the bath! Come on, Ayumu… you know what I’m saying, don’t you?”

I knew. I did, but that wasn’t part of the joke.
Well, there are days like these…

It wasn’t like I was particularly averse, so I picked her up in a princess carry, brought her to the bed in our bedroom, where I carefully set her down. Then, I immediately dove onto the bed, too.

When I got close, I could see that she was blushing ever so slightly. Thinking about what we were about to do, I likely also turned red. Recently, I often felt like this. Naturally… I didn’t mind it at all. On the contrary, it made me happy.

“So, shall we start? Though it’s still the middle of the day.”
“Yeah.”

I pushed her down, so she lay prone on the bed, and then took off the clothing on her upper body. This was how it always went, I gazed at her body, which was as beautiful as her face, just long enough to catch my breath, before bringing my hands to her breasts, and-

[Alim, Mika, is now a good time?]　

Both Mika and I were stunned in the darkness. The king had picked the worst timing for his message…
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Even though we’ve just started¹!

For now, I hurriedly made eye contact with Mika to take stock of the situation. As for the result of our deliberation of priorities merely via our gazes… we’d listen to what the king had to say for the time being. He was among the most important people of the country and disregarding him would only cost us… *sniffle*.

[It… it is, Your Majesty,]　
[S-S-Same for me!]　

My reply was somewhat grumpy, and Mika added hers after hurriedly putting her top back on. No, it wasn’t a good time, not at all.

[I see, that’s good. There is something I’d like to inform you about in advance… You do know about Uruto and Parasuna’s wedding, don’t you? From what they told me, you are preparing various things for it, Alim.]　
[Yes, it’s just as they say.]　

The king took his time to move on to the main topic.
I already know plenty about that wedding.

[That should make this quick. Foreign royalty and nobles will be arriving under various pretexts, but… a king from another country, who wasn’t able to attend Alim’s hero proclamation, did arrive today, as a matter of fact. He says he absolutely wants to meet you, Alim, Mika… Could you come to the castle at 11 am tomorrow?]　

So, that’s how it is. Well, I don’t have any plans for tomorrow other than my normal work, so we can come meet this foreign king.

When I looked at Mika for confirmation, she nodded.

[Understood, Your Majesty! Then we shall be visiting tomorrow!]　
[Yes, please do! See you tomorrow, then. Make sure to be here at 11 am!]　
[We will!]　

The king cut off the telepathic connection.

For now, we had to organize our thoughts, considering said man was a dignitary of a foreign nation. And right now…

“What do we do?”
“Start over from the beginning,” Mika replied bashfully.

It looked like we had the same idea.

“Let’s do that.”

I pushed her down on the bed once more…

The next day, Mika and I put on stylish clothes while grooming our hair a bit.

“I wonder what kind of guy he is, this foreign king who came to visit.”
“I’m pretty sure he’ll turn out a nice person. That’s what my intuition tells me.”

Her gut was usually spot on. So, chances were high that he really was a nice guy.

We linked hands and made our way to the castle. The guards let us in after recognizing us and we were warmly welcomed by several maids and butlers. And then…

“Welcome, Alim, Mika!” Karua came rushing towards us in apparent joy.

Come to think of it, we didn’t stay at the castle last week, so it’s natural for her to be so happy.

“Uhm, sorry for not visiting. We were busy.”
“It is fine!”
“By the way, where’s that guest of yours?”
“He is currently in the throne room.”

Then he’s likely discussing something with the king. Just what kind of person is he? I’m so curious.
The moment that thought crossed my mind, the doors to the throne room flew open.
