In order to prevent Her Majesty from being able to show up for some reason, which would cause panic among the people, Her Majesty's stand-in was selected by the elders early in the morning, and they were kept by their side separately, almost one for each elder.

These girls are a bit of a substitute forgery for a museum exhibition, which can be used in place of the real Elven Empress in some special cases, but only in special cases.

After all, the real thing is the real thing, and it can't really be replaced.

Lirea told me that this is true not only of Moonlight, but also of Ari, Dasai, Vechiborg, and even Yorkham.

The lord of each town has a stand-in, and even the lord of many sub-towns will prepare a stand-in for himself.

In addition to acting as the lord of the city when necessary and fooling the people, these stand-ins also have a more important and difficult task, which is to be ready to die for the lord of the castle at any time.

Once they reach a state of crisis, they will change clothes with the castle lord and forcibly pull the death that should have befallen the castle lord on their own head.

It's a fearless spirit.

That's what Lirea said.

But I never felt that way.

It's always good to be alive, to be able to eat good food, drink good wine, see beautiful women, and enjoy all kinds of life, how joyful.

Why do you have to spend your days with the determination to die? Tired or not?

When I said this, Lirea smiled, "I like your bastard character who never sacrifices himself for the sake of righteousness. ”

"What kind of bastard personality is this?" I disdainfully said: "This is true, for myself, for my family, for my friends to live happily, I have to work harder to live, not for someone to die." ”

"Thankfully, no hapless city wants you to be his stand-in," Lirea laughed.

......

......

When I got home, Princess Anarita and Princess Anareta greeted me and asked, "Is my sister back safely?" ”

"Well," I said, "it's safe." ”

"Did it go well?" Princess Anarieta asked.

"It went well," I said.

"When will you steal my sister out next time?" Princess Anareta said expectantly.

The corners of my mouth twitched: "What do you think of your sister?" ”

"By the way, Xiao Yi, what about the stand-in?" Jura walked over and asked.

"The stand-in is back," I said.

"Why didn't you bring it to see~" Susan asked while sitting on the couch.

"I can't bring it," I spread my hands and said, "She is the maid of Elder Sonoda Mai's family, and without Elder Sonoda Mai's consent, there is no way to bring it back." ”

"Well...... Susan, a little regretful, said, "I want to see how much she resembles Her Majesty." ”

Muttering, Susan buried herself in the process of continuing what had just happened.

I glanced at the coffee table, which had a chessboard and a bunch of chess pieces, which looked a bit like checkers.

I approached them and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Flying chess" Phoenix raised his head, smiled sweetly, and said in a milky voice.

"Uh...... Can flying chess be played by so many people? "I swept around, and there were Phoenix, Cagalle, Barbra, Maggie, Quinna, Susan, Remy, and Belle.

"Yes," Cagalli took a step forward and said, "This is our new idea of a flying chess machine that eight people play together, and maybe there will be more people playing together in the future." ”

"Anyway, Xiao Yi's harem will still increase," Barbara said with a look of resentment.

"What do you think" I reached out and pinched her little face, pulling left and right, and Barbara instantly surrendered.

......

......

"By the way, Xiao Yi" Yura, who was standing next to me and watching them play chess, suddenly asked me: "The Japanese Wind Championship is about to sign up, do you plan to participate in this year?" ”

"Participate," I said, "When will I sign up?" ”

"Hmm......" she thought for a moment and said, "next month." ”

"Okay," I nodded, "When the time comes, all of us will be reported, and all of them will be dragged to the arena to fight, and we will stand up for ourselves." ”

"Liwei?" Yura shook her head: "Did you participate in the last time you fought in the Japanese Wind Tournament?" ”

"Didn't participate," I said.

"It seems that you don't know the strength of the current elite-level adventurers" Yura said: "In the last competition, in the top ten of the individual competition, every adventurer exceeded level ten, and now it has been almost a year, and the strength of those adventurers must have improved significantly." ”

"Level 10...... Oh" I answered, and the voice was very flat, like boiled water.

"You don't seem to care" Yura frowned slightly: "Do you look down on the strength of a level 10 adventurer, or do you think it doesn't matter if you win or lose?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders and didn't answer.

After playing a chess move, Phoenix raised his head and said to Yura: "Xiao Yi's attitude is to say, 'Level 10 adventurers are scum to me'. ”

I:!!!

"Why, how is it possible, that's a level 10 adventurer...... Ah" I looked at the phoenix who tilted its head to look at me for a few seconds, and I said in a deflated voice: "Okay, I do think so, in fact, a level 10 adventurer really has nothing to care about, anyway, as long as the strength is not as good as Emily's, I have a chance to fight." ”

"Do you want to use your black-and-red combat skills?" Jura asked.

"Ah, I'll use it when necessary," I said, spreading my hands, "but I'll do my best to restrain myself." ”

"Xiao Yi, Grandpa Taylor also said that that kind of thing will damage your sanity," Yura said bitterly.

"Don't worry, don't worry" I stepped forward, hugged her, and said, "I'll pay attention, as long as I don't have to do it, I will fight in ordinary hand-to-hand combat." ”

"Actually, you don't have to worry so much" Picking up the water glass on the table, I took a sip and explained, "My combat skills will only backlash if they are over-released, as long as they are still within the scope of my control, everything will be fine." ”

"Really?" Jura looked at me solemnly.

We looked at each other for a few seconds, and she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, there's one more thing I want to warn you about." ”

"You say."

"Lately, you'd better be able to curb your horrible aura and murderous habits a little......"

I was shocked, could it be that she saw the last time I killed the assassination team?

Just thinking about it, she continued: "Although the Japanese Wind Championship can inflict heavy damage on the opponent, it cannot kill the opponent, and once you violate the rules, you will be expelled from the competition. ”

"Oh, that's right," I said, relieved, "no problem at all, everything is up to Miss Jura." ”

Cagalli, who was playing chess, suddenly put down her chess pieces and said, "Which is the host town of this Japanese Wind Championship?" ”

Jura thought for a moment and said, "It's the city of Balan in Dasai, the town next to the capital city of Dasai. ”

"Oh," Cagalli smiled, "If it's in Dasai City, it's going to be there." ”
