Around 10 a.m., after I left the Kingdom of Tenar, the forest continued under my eyes, but suddenly an open flatland appeared.

“That is the kingdom of Howl, the country of canine beasts.”

I looked at the direction that Prince Curtance pointed.

There is a large lake in the center of the flat land, and you can see a vast garden and palace that looks like a royal palace on the south side.

“The east side near the lake is divided into aristocratic residential areas and luxury stores, the west side is divided into commercial areas such as shopping streets and theaters, and the north side is divided into residential areas of commoners.”

Prince Curtance explained it to me.

A vast area of farmland spreads outside the downtown area, and high walls are built to avoid monsters in all directions on the border with the forest.

“It’s about time to land.”

The altitude dropped little by little, and there was a slight impact, but we arrived at the Kingdom of Howl safely.

The place where we landed was a square where I could see the stone royal palace nearby.

I’m sure it’s being used as a carriage stop.

In the square, many canine beastmen knights and chamberlains were lined up and waiting for Prince Harence.

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Curtance of the Hire Kingdom and the Knights of the Imperial Guard —–.”

It seems that your name will be called when you get out of the box.

“Mr. Crane, the Royal Palace Doctor of the Kingdom of Tenar, the Knights of the Kingdom—.”

Crane came out of the box first, and I saw Prince Harence running up to him.

“You are Mr. Crane, the royal doctor. Thank you for saving the lives of me, my wife, and the guards. And thank you very much for coming to our country for treatment.”

“Not at all.”

“His Royal Highness Gresis, the third prince of the Tenar Kingdom, and his wife, Princess Lilith—.”

When I was escorted by Gresis-sama and went out of the box, my name was called.

Unlike Crane, the knights and chamberlains of the Kingdom of Howl who see me give me a cold look that says they despise me.

While accepting the fact that I was not welcome, I saw the canine beast people lined up in front of me.

Unlike cat beastmen, canine beastmen’s ears and tails have different loveliness. It looks comfortable to touch.

If it’s a negative image, the rest will only be positive.

I really want to get along with you on this mission.

While thinking so, I smiled and bowed to everyone in the Kingdom of Howl like a lady.

“”………!””

For a moment, the eyes of everyone in the Kingdom of Howl were opened with surprise.

Did I make some mistakes in the manners?

When I glanced at Gresis-sama, he patted me on the back.

I’m sure this will be fine.

As soon as he came, Prince Harence came in front of us.

“Gresis, thank you for responding to my request. I caused you trouble at the National Foundation Festival, too.”

“Absolutely.”

“Oh, I shouldn’t have sent a request to humans. I’d like you to leave immediately?”

He tilted his head with a smile.

Well, I didn’t know that men were cute even if they did this gesture. When I thought about it, Gresis-sama held my shoulder and grinned.

Are you making a bad face?

“Oh, you want Lilith to go back. That’s good. Everyone has heard it. Everyone is returning.”

“””Yes.”””

When Gresis-sama looked at the Royal Monster Subjugation Unit, everyone gave a very good reply.

What? Is it okay? Even though you just got here? It’s true that I was told to go home, but everyone hasn’t been told, right?

Gresis-sama turns his back to Prince Harence and escorts me, trying to return me to the box again.

“Wait, Gresis. Why are you making everyone go home like her? I don’t understand the meaning.”

Gresis-sama stopped and looked at Prince Harence.

“What do you mean, like Lilith? Did you say that? Harence.”

The person in front of me right now is Prince Harence, not a monster.

As much as I wanted to point that out, Gresis-sama was expressionless and opened his mouth while surrounded by a cold air.

“I can’t say anything about the treatment because it’s a secret matter of the royal family, but this time it needs to be a set of royal doctor and Lilith. Even if you leave only one side here, you can’t treat it. We don’t have to take the trouble to care for patients who can’t be cured and minimize injuries. If you just want to stop the patient’s runaway, Curtance’s subordinates are enough. If you don’t care about the lethal dose and hit the sleeping arrow like rain from above, it will be cleared up at once. In other words, we have nothing to do. Then there’s no point in being here. That’s all.”

“That’s why I’ll leave it to you.”

Agar, the assistant commander, put his hand on the shoulder of the knight of the Hire Kingdom with a big smile.

“Even if you say that. . .”

The knight of the Hire Kingdom looks troubled and looks at Prince Curtance.

“Ignore it. The details of the travelers have been communicated in the letter in advance. It’s impossible to return those who come to cooperate or refuse the request. Harence and Gresis are saying it after understanding. There’s no need to go along with dogs and cats’ jokes.”

As if Prince Curtance was stunned, he looked at Prince Harence.

“Absolutely, a boy who is mean to the girl he likes. As a 25-year-old man with a wife, I don’t understand what he says or does.”

One of Prince Harence’s cheeks moved as if he was twitching.

“Who. . .”

Ignoring Prince Harence, Prince Curtance turned to Gresis-sama.

“Gresis too. You know it’s a joke, so don’t try to go home seriously. As long as you accept the request, you can’t go home until the mission is over. You know that, don’t you?”

“Oh, but even if it’s a joke, I can’t allow you to say something about Lilith. I can’t help it.”

When Gresis-sama glanced at Prince Harence, for some reason, Prince Harence raised his hands as if he was surrendering.

“Princess Lilith, I’m sorry. Even though it’s a joke, I said too much.”

“No, I don’t care, so don’t worry about it.”

Rather, I’m more worried that the knights of Prince Harence’s guard have a grim face and are looking at us.

I wonder if you don’t like me too much?

“Oh, their attitude is not against you, so don’t worry about it.”

Prince Harence sensed my feelings and said so.

So, to whom?

If you follow the gaze of the knights of the imperial guard, it doesn’t seem to be Gresis-sama.

Behind me?

I turned around and turned my eyes to the knights of our country.

The knights are lined up with a normal and serious expression, just like when they arrived.

It looks friendly, but it’s not an attitude to be wary of.

When I tilted my head and saw the knights of the Imperial Guard of Prince Harence again, before I knew it, it became a normal expression and their vigilance was lifted.

“I’ve also said hello, so it’s about time to show you around during the audience.”

Prince Harence told everyone and started to walk.

What on earth were the knights of the imperial guard wary of?

In the end, the truth remained unknown.

I think the knights of the Tenar Kingdom were mad at the knights of the Howl Kingdom for being rude to Lilith.
