207 After Days: One day for a fruitful dream, again

The moment that the things raised by hand-salt come to fruition, you will be filled with the joy of wanting to sing a song.

The gardens of the Imperial Castle, a small farm that doesn't resemble a corner of it.A small, one-of-a-kind garden that does not interfere with the landscape.

A former king, Orpheus il Parettia exhaled with satisfaction and stared at the fruitful vegetables.

"Hmm, what about this year's production?"

Every year, we record the state of growth by changing various conditions or daring to do the same.

Although it is a study that cannot be easily developed in a tunnel, Orphan muttered in his heart that this is the one that suits his skin.

Record any concerns you may have about the size, timing, taste, quality, or number of fruits.

Compare the collected records and consider the situation if there is a change.What a pleasure it is to work in such a tunnel.

Even if only one step is taken each year, we can definitely move forward.

I can't see what lies ahead, but Orphan smiles bitterly at himself as he fills himself with his moving forward.

(Unfortunately, I'm seriously ill... even though my shoulders have become so much lighter.)

Since the throne was taken over by the next daughters after the twists and turns, Orpheus was also involved in politics as an assistant until the daughters settled down.

Even so, it gradually calmed down, and since she was able to take her time, Orphans was starting to study agriculture.

This is only a personal hobby of Orphans.Orphan didn't think the recordings here would have a significant impact on anything.

Nevertheless, I had more free time than I had when I was busy with the King's duty, so I decided to do what I wanted to do.

Study modest crops in your own garden and take care of the garden.The gardener, who was terrified at first, has recently begun to have a gentle conversation.

At that time, I remember being told by a gardener who was older than Orphans that he seemed to be rejuvenated.When I heard that, Orphans felt too complicated.

(Because Sylphine made fun of me... you're still in your 30s with me.I wonder if this or that is Grant's fault.Why did you get old in the first place.....)

Orpheus sighed, thinking of his best friend and loyal servant, Grantz Magenta.

It must be a political feud with Yufilia, the daughter-in-law who became the queen.Why do you behave so badly towards your daughter?

Orphans conclude that it's probably because the personality is actually twisted.

"If Grantz had been the right guy, I wouldn't have been a king..."

Orpheus il Parettia was not an excellent king.

It was a status that I should not have inherited the throne from the original.When I was young, I quickly became a subordinate, and I wanted to get the territory and devote time to the development of agriculture and research.

It was the passage of time that I became a king without such a king.

Orphan's father was a king in distress.There was a voice of dissatisfaction from the people due to the corruption of the nobility.

Under such circumstances, there was a major incident in which the bandits of the common people were handling magic and looting with the droppings of the nobility, and the frustration and anger of the people were on the verge of explosion.

The policy of holding back the grievances of such people was met with violent revolt from some aristocrats who stuck to their traditions.

Orpheus never dreamed that he was his brother.

Even though it was my brother, I didn't remember Orphans interacting with him.Because Orphans were shadows, royalty and a preference for earthwrecks did not interest them from their elder brother.

Still, being a royalty didn't change.It was because he knew of the father's distress that Orphans could not accept that his brother had staged a coup.

However, there were too few things I could do for Orphans.Neither my magic arm nor my martial arts arm will be an enemy to my brother.Orphan is convinced that his brother had nothing against him in any way.

Still, Orpheus was able to win the war with his best friends, Grantz Magenta, and his wife, Sylphine Maes Pallettier.

"You're the only one who treated me like a mere human being.That's all I need to serve you for. "

Grantz served Alphonse just for the sake of his grace.It was just because I was overly talented and honest with myself that I was captured by various kinds of clutches.

"Your kindness and your thoughts are right."If you don't have the strength to be right, I'll be your strength. "

Sylphine supported Orphans in the service of justice.Is it necessary to persist in the nobility's superiority by oppressing the people?I thought, in order to correct my brother's parents' home, he stood by my side so that my banner would not break.

It was a turbulent youth that the three of them ran through.After that, even if it was a bad day to wait for, Orphan thinks that it was an irreplaceable day.

I'm sure it's the same for Grantz and Sylphine.That is why I am convinced that the future we are heading towards is in the same direction.

As a result, she destroyed her parents' home with her own hands and begged Sylphine, who had no place to go, to become her wife. She took over the duke's seat and waved the seignement with Grantz as her right arm.

But it didn't work.Few aristocrats would offer their loyalty to the Orphans who became kings in the process, even as they rushed to match the aristocrats' footsteps.

The days since becoming king were lived with the feeling of scratching algae in the bottomless swamp.

Whatever you do, it doesn't work.Even if you try to gain the trust of your lords, the buds you tried to raise will be crushed by factional rivalries.

Even though there are fewer powerful aristocrats in the coup, I don't want to lose anyone, but I have to choose someone who has to be cut off.

Among those who had to be truncated, Orphans were likely to throw up on themselves, including their daughters.

Anisphere, the daughter of the uprooted, even though she is called Princess Kiteretz.I gave up on strange deeds, and I didn't want to face my own conceit that I couldn't change anything.

To move forward, we had to bear fruit, and if we made a mistake, we continued to scratch the algae in order to support a falling country that rolled all at once until it fell.While scratching the algae, I didn't even notice that I was missing something important.

And I almost lost my son, Algard, forever.Looking back, Orphan describes himself as a stupid king who lacked the word incompetence.

I'm sorry to my daughters for taking on such a shameless debt, and Orphan regrets it from the bottom of his heart.

I didn't notice anyone's suffering, I just scratched the algae and said I was in pain.You really are a hopeless bastard.

Nevertheless, the country continues to this day.The throne is changing for the better.

I was able to keep the country together without destroying it.At the very least, I want to believe that it is worth it to be a king.At least that's what Orphans prayed for.

"That's why I don't think it would be more honest and cute to grow plants than people..."

The results will be returned in the form of fruitful results, so it is satisfied compared to those days.Orphans let out a bitter sigh about it.

When Orphans thought that, they heard voices from a distance.It was my daughter, Anisphere, who came towards me with a wave of her hand.

It wasn't just Anisphere. Yufilia and their servants, Raini and Ilia, followed.

"Father! I heard it was fruitful this year, so I came to accompany you!"

Anisphere is one who secretly looks forward to the fruits of the vegetables growing in Orphans.

When the time comes for fruitfulness, they come to eat the soup.Absolutely, while sighing, Orphans smiled.

Where is the royalty that wants to eat freshly harvested vegetables raw?I can't help but think that my daughter is an unusual person.

How's it going this year?

"It doesn't change that much. Still, what I was curious about....."

Anisphere and Yufilia are eager to hear the modest results of Orphans' research.

In this serious state, Orpheus tightened his head when he couldn't do anything bad.Research is not only fun, but there are also two people who listen seriously.

"Well then, let's have some real food!" Be the first! "

Anispheres caught in freshly harvested cucumbers, often washed in water.Three other people carry cucumbers in their mouths to be caught.

It looks like you're old enough to have a pleasant time arguing with each other about your feelings.Looking at the figure, Orphans thinks that since when have they lost this youthful feeling.

Both Anisphere and Yufilia would be busy with their positions.Still, we are different, and we do not forget to enjoy life.

(... oh, that's really pathetic. I...)

If you don't enjoy life, it's only natural that you get pushed away.

It's all hard, and if you can't get water or nutrients, you'll wither with flowers.When did the flower begin to wither away?

If it hadn't withered, would there have been a different future?Could it be that Algard was far away from this sight?

"Father! Let's eat our father too, this year is a good year!"

"Um, um. Yeah, don't push it so hard!"

Blurred, Anisphere pushes the cucumber in her hand.And, frowning, he carries the cucumber in his mouth, following the anisophiles.

It has a good texture and a refreshingly crisp taste.It spread into my mouth.Oh, I think it's delicious.

Hmm, you did a good job.

That's right!

My father-in-law, I'd like to consult you, but why don't you write a little more detailed record and show it to the lords and farmers in other territories where agriculture is thriving?

"Hmm? Yufilia, why are you doing this all of a sudden?"

"My father-in-law uses magic to grow this garden."I thought it might be helpful in the future..... "

"Well, I think I'm the only one growing crops with magic, but I don't think it's a useful record yet."I think we need to set a wider range of conditions and investigate more closely. ”

"Yeah, that's why I took it as a reward.When the government has settled down a little, I would like my father-in-law to conduct research on breed improvement, so please think about it if you like.... it was a dream, wasn't it? "

"... Yufilia"

"Ah, of course I agree!"If someone has to do something, I really want you to start with my father! "

I wondered how long I had forgotten my dreams, and I was offered my old dreams.

Oh, it's too much to talk about.Orpheus gently lowered his eyes at that thought.

"... damn it. I told you to use it as you please, but I don't think I'm going to let you rest."

If you can start dreaming again.Isn't it too late?

I can't do what never happened.Still, people can move on.

Is it permissible to start again what you really wanted to do?

With that in mind, I picked up the cucumber in my hand again.Eating it as it is is still not bad.

Although it wasn't worthy of a royal family, I liked it, "Orphan recalls.

"... it's still delicious. I wish I could have told you, even to the Algard."

There is a world that you can't see if you're tied up as a royalty.It was too easy to teach such a thing.It's such a simple thing. If you can't do it, your heart will hurt with regret.

"I want you to eat too."But maybe Al won't come... oh, yes!Then why don't you just carry it!? "

"If you can transport it while maintaining its freshness, it will be possible..."

“So why don't you put a small refrigerator behind the air bike?”

"... then it looks like you can do it?"

Alright then, let's prototype it at the Magic Arts Bureau and deliver it to Al-kun by testing it! One stone, two birds!

The Anisphere is gaining momentum again and is about to start something.Yufilia smiled bitterly, but there was no sign of stopping her.

Yeah, it's really noisy.... no, I think Orphan should say it's lively.

(Again, from here. Life is still going on.Then, let's try it as tenaciously as we can.)

Even if it's not a life that blooms like a beautiful flower, it's hard as a weed.

Let not the earth which is to be trampled upon be rough and dry.

Because that's what I can do.

"That's why I brought it!"

"... you really are a fool, sister."

Algard came in like a storm and sighed with a bitter smile on his face as he bitterly crushed the anisphere.

Acrylic peeked out from Algard's side and shook his tail.The gaze is directed at a variety of vegetables brought by Anisphere.

"This is the vegetable that your father-in-law grew."You brought it back so well... ah, it's delicious "

You know, Al-kun too!

"... stay like that?"

"My father is also a recommended eater!"

"What are you doing? I don't care if you're the former king..."

"Also, this is a letter from my father."

"... from my father?"

Algard frightfully receives the letter Anisphere sends him.

Slowly unseal it and check its contents.... and Algard exhaled deeply. I closed the letter.

"... my father has been poisoned by my sister, too."

"What did it say?"I don't even know what it is.

"Don't tell your sister."

"Eh! Why?!"

--If you think it's delicious, I'll send it again.If you like it, I'll give you the seedlings.

--I couldn't even make such a small gift.That's why I'm still going to give it to you.

- Good luck to my son, Algard.

"... it's surprisingly delicious."

The chewy taste does not compromise the rusticity.The moisture will reach his heart as if it were stained.

In the desolate land shall be water and fruit.I'm sure that's what Alphonse wanted more than anyone else.
