The Cheat Plant Mage Hides to Live a Slow Life!! ～ I’ve Been Banished from the Court and Want to Raise a World Tree but my Territory is too Strong～

?」

「Yeah.
An imperial can only stay in the Guild Autonomous Region for 10 days at most unless they renounce their imperial citizenship.」

「What about Riito-san?」

「I have renounced my citizenship so there’s no problem.」

「Such a shame but….well, this is a good place for Riito-sama.」

Adel frowned.

After a quick sip of tea, Adel took a short pause before talking again.

「I’ll leave here tomorrow.」

「I see….will you come back?」

「Yess.
I’ll return to convince Riito-sama again.」

「You still haven’t given up.」

「Of course not.
No matter what anyone says, the absence of a brave is a loss to the empire!」

「Well….I think you’re overreacting.」

「Frau will wait for Adel-san to come and play with us again!」

Adel smiles at Frau’s innocent words.

During her stay here for the past few days, they seem to have gotten to know each other very well.

Adel, who always had a tense expression on her face during the warring era, was smiling as she spoke calmly with the young girl.

「Yes, I’m looking forward to seeing you again—let’s play at the same place again that time, Frau.」

「That same place?」

There was nothing but wilderness and mountains, so, is there a place where they can play?

「Yeah, it was hidden by a fallen tree.
It looks like a small pond.」

「Pond! A pond with water!?」

「Is there a pond without water?」

「Amazing.
Now we don’t have to rely on groundwater to supply our agricultural needs—」

For some reason, it almost never rains in this place.
Even if it rains, the land is too drained to retain water.

「Unfortunately, it’s a really small pond.….it’s like a hand basin you can find in Romancia Castle.
It is better to call it a puddle.」

「I-is that so….that is….」

「Right, I found something strange.」

「Hnn?」

「Some kind of emblem.」

「Yes, it is neither the emblem of the flowerkins nor a flowerkin character!」

「An emblem that neither you nor Frau has ever seen before.
I’ll go and have a look next time.」

「Yeah, maybe Riito-sama can find out what it is.」

「You’re overrating me.」

However, new discoveries about the land are always appreciated.

Next time, he’ll go with Frau though if possible, he wants to go there with Adel.

「By the way, Adel.」

「Yes…..?」

Riito proposed something to Adel.

She might return to Togen Village soon so Riito wanted to get some benefit from it.

「I have a favor to ask you.」
