"Yareyare, we finally returned to the elven country. Albert"

"Your excellency, I'm really thankful. Thanks to you I'm saved"

When I returned to the country of elves, once we got off the plaza, instead of the castle, we were guided to a mansion in one corner of the city, but it is quite a mansion? It wasn´t quite a territory mansion, but it was more luxurious and bigger than a nobility mansion of the imperial capital

"Do not mind, if you can work with a piece of mind, then this is nothing"

"Ha!"

While Albert was formally saluting me1, I entered the mansion. Prince Mars and Tsubaki welcomed me at the entrance.

"Thank you for your trouble, this is a nice residence."

"Welcome back, foster father. The prime minister agreed to arrange it for you."

"Thanks for your hard work, father-in-law. That old hag... Master said it was better to have a mansion, so we arranged it."

Fumu... Since my subordinates increased, Kachua wants a place where we are able to scheme, and prime minister's interests matched since he wanted to apologize for his situation however, this kind of mansion aren´t usually vacant.

"So... Who was the original owner of this mansion?"

"Yes, this was my mansion...but I don´t need it anymore."

The prince that answered while looking down a bit.

Really? If you become a king then you won´t any use for this house... I wonder if you remembered your father's death.

"Actually, I built a new mansion! One that is suitable for receiving Tsubaki, and draws a line with this old-fashioned mansion... Guughho!!"

"Really, prince Mars. We cannot give such an old-fashioned mansion to foster father. Surely, this must be a misunderstanding."

She made a single blow to his stomach with a smile on her face.

You got a lot of work ahead of you, Tsubaki.

"That's right, I guess he needs to be more considerate... my son-in-law that is. You need to avoid saying unnecessary things"

"Ye... Yes, i will be careful."

"Foster father, I will thoroughly educate him! I will make use of the iron fan that I received from foster mother"

At formal places with the iron fan, at informal places with the bardiche, it seems the custom was successfully passed down... Good luck, my son-in-law.

"Your excellency is that okay? about the iron fan of the next queen..."

"Albert, about Bea's gift? you weren't about to say something against it... were you?"

"Yes! It's extremely suitable, I was wondering if prince Mars needed to be appropriately equipped as his excellency son-in-law"

"I guess so... he'll probably be."

While having such exchange, three men were headed towards the living room with a heavy footsteps.

"Hey, Albert, can you hear it?"

"Yes! I can hear it. Your excellency, please take care."

"Huh? I don't hear anything."

"Foster father can strengthen his hearing with magical power, there should not be anyone in this office. "

We arrive in front of the office, and stop in front of the door.

There seems to be a suspicious individual inside... to be able to sneak inside this mansion one must have considerable ability.

Battle maids, black knights and the intelligence unit are stationed here.

Any normal person would be found immediately and killed

"There is just one person, isn´t that careless? Albert, protect Tsubaki, the other party looks weaker than me, but it looks like it will be difficult. You guys probably wouldn't be able to win."

"Yes! i will concentrate on defense. Lady Tsubaki2, Prince Mars please get behind me."

Albert prepares to withdraw the sword from his waist.

Huh? Were you able to strengthen your body with magical power?! Well done!!

"Isn't that a really difficult technique? You're the first person i see that uses it aside from master3... Well done"

"Because I decided to become your Excellency's shield. If i can´t at least manage this then I'm disqualified."

"Beautiful control of magical power! It's amazing, Albert."

"Tsu!?A-Albert can do this too!!"

The two in the back of Albert become stunned.

Why? It was a little frustrating... I guess i can't call him a mongrel anymore.

"Okay, lets proceed."

I watch Albert just before opening the door.

He nodded, and I opened my door and jumped in while strengthening my magical power!

What I saw there... was a fridge settled in the middle of a luxurious room...

"... What are you doing here?"

Making *Garann* sounds it turns around. A Refrigerator.

There is no doubt ... this guy is Garbera...

"This... fellow... It moves..."

"The... the magic tool moved by itself... What is it?"

"You two, please fall back! It's dangerous."

Albert stays vigilant, but if it's this guy then it's alright.

Prince Mars, stop what you're saying since it's rude.

"It's Zest! at last you returned, I've been waiting!"

"I-it talked!?"

"It's a girl?!"

"I-is it one of your excellency's acquaintances?"

To Garbera speaking while making a rattling sound, this guys are surprised.

Well, it's only natural when a refrigerator speaks and moves like this.

"Yeah, you don't need to be on guard because I know this guy. Why are you here? Garbera."

"It is awful! Even though a girl is crying, they ignore her! It's a devil!"

A fridge that rattles while moving the door with a pitter-patter

As usual it is a surreal sight ... and even if it is said that she is crying, how should I judge?

"Gerbera, even if I am told that you're crying, it seems to me that you're just rattling and the door just fluttering?"

"That's it! The sound is automatic ice making! That is my tears!"

"I-is that so? So the ice spilling since a little while ago... that... Cheer up."

"Well, I will forgive you. Instead, I want you to defrost me later!"

Was it in a good mood? the rat ling sounds sounds disappeared when Garbera talks.

Three people with dot eyes were watching behind me.

Aa, I guess they need an explanation. But the things about the Pope must remain hidden.

"Everyone, this is Garbera the Spirit. She's also a friend of Toto."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Garbera, you can also call me Pope!"

Hey, is it okay to say that? There is no meaning to try to cover it now...

With the remarks that seemed to be extraordinarily confusing, the office was wrapped in silence.

"Were you Pope Garbera? I'm sorry I did something impolite, I'm Crown Prince Mars. This is my fiancee..."

"I'm Zest adoptive daughter Tsubaki, nice to meet you."

"I'm Garbera. My best regards to both of you! I usually don't speak like this because of my appearance like grandmother... but it's alright if you're Zest's children."

Perhaps it is in a good mood, the refrigerator seems to have fun speaking

I have to introduce him too.

"Garbera, this is my right hand man."

"I´m Albert, your Holiness."

"Nice to meet you! Make sure you protect Zest."

It is a mysterious the sight of nobles greeting a refrigerator, the other party is the Pope though...

I guess this type of situations are bound to happen if I'm to maintain a close relationship with sacred country Lilac

"Pope Garbera being a spirit is a secret, treat it with utmost confidentiality"

""Yes!""

"Certainly, foster father."

"So, why was Garbera in this room? this is unusual..."

"Oh, I will explain that. I came as a magic tool pretending to be a gift from the Holy Country of Lilac."

Oh so she just mimicked a magic tool and came here...

Mimicry... What?

"It was hard! i was touched in the butt, i was really embarrassed but I endured it!"

Where is her ass? I need a moment to process all this.

And there shouldn't any idiot who is pleased by touching a refrigerator's ass.

"We-well... that was awful... Although now I understand the circumstances, why go through such a thing? Is something the matter?"

The refrigerator opens its doors with a *pakatsu*

Maybe she just remembered4

"That´s right! There was something i wanted to tell directly to you!"

The refrigerator tells me with her open door towards me while spreading cold.

"Congratulations! Zest's daughter... Wisteria was chosen to be the spirit princess! So the spirits will always be by Zest's and Bea's side. They´ll be able to befriend Wis that way! Everybody wins!"

I felt like being hit by a cold wind...

Spirits... their princess??

My daughter who seems to have been recognized as a mysterious princess... What will happen to Wis' future?

I... I do not seem to be able to escape from hardship

1. something like this

2. original addresses them as Tsubaki-tachi, how nice is such an indeterminate suffix for plural, except when one is trying to translate it.

3. wasn't Zest also able to reinforce himself?

4. original expresses all of this as "hatsu" representing this
