Chapter 72 \nChapter 72 – Meeting the Prince\n
This is a bit of a digression, but Kazane bartered with Yuuko-nee and received a Mysterious Warehouse in exchange for two Indestructible Futons.
This was a superior item of the Mysterious Bag series, and was a door and door frame that, when opened, led to one large warehouse room. The limit was based on volume rather than loading capacity and it could contain many more items than ordinary Mysterious Bags. By the way, Yuuko-nee purchased it during her adventurer days. The reason for purchasing was because it was originally Tatsuyoshi-kun's.
「I appraised the item when it was being sold and that kid's name came out. I was really surprised.」
Yuuko-nee smiled lightly, but this class of item's price started at 1,000,000 kirigia and the price would increase massively, since people in the trade industry would participate at the auction in a frenzy to gain such an item. It is not something an ordinary adventurer could get their hands on. The Elder Cat conversion would be 100 animals.
(No way, if this is worth 100 how good was Yuuko-nee?)
Well, Yuuko-nee earned a lot from various adventures.「My adventuring days are over, so this would serve you better than me, and I think that kid would agree」Yuuko-nee said with a lonely smile as she handed it to Kazane.
By the way, since the Mysterious Bag series used passive subspace magic, detection was relatively easy and it was not suitable for smuggling through checkpoints and the like. But since it was undetectable in the Item Box, Yuuko-nee said「Kazane's group can smuggle all they want.」She needed to stop inviting them to the path of evil.
As one would expect, an item the size of a door frame could not enter the Mysterious Pouch, but if it was the Item Box it would be no problem. Kazane sorted the items in her Item Box and only kept items that would see immediate use, like the Indestructible Futons, out of the warehouse and placed the door in her Item Box.
Digression over.
◎ Royal Castle Delgura
「I beg your pardon. You guys are fired up. I did not massage my breasts and butt like Louise-nee. I'm very sorry.」
There was a racket around a woman with an appearance around her mid-twenties with short hair. She was dressed like a ninja.
The woman was continuously apologizing while surrounded by Zinray, Mefirus, and Louise.
「Yes yes. That was good.」
Yuuko-nee looked on with a satisfied face.
「She seems like an interesting person.」
「A ninja, huh? From the Japan-like country in the east, right?」
「Ninja is from the Japan-like country? It was also in Zexiahart, right? A strange floating place?」
「That's right. She is my body double, and her skills are top-notch. She can also transform into a dragon.」
Kazane, Yumika and Tiara, were surprised at hearing that. Dragon Transformation was a spell from the Final Chapter of the Transformation Principle. By the way, the Final Chapter of a Grimoire was an independent unique spell and memorization was possible even without having learned up to Chapter 5.
「Well, since she's surrounded and deepening her friendships over there I'll introduce you later. Young women seem to be popular.」\n
That said Yuuko-nee started walking, and Kazane and the others followed her.
◎ Royal Castle Delgura, Practice Grounds
「Haaa.」
A vigorous young voice resounded. Simultaneously, the sound of metal violently clashing against metal resounded several times.
「That is splendid, Prince. But you step a little too far forward.」
A very young boy was swinging a sword, and a young knight around 20 was receiving his blows and giving him guidance.
「To, yaa」
He subsequently lunged, and it was forcefully repelled to the side.
「You also commit too much force. While I didn't counterattack, normally you'll be struck if you don't change from how you attack against a target dummy.」
Although his posture was destroyed from being repelled again, the boy called prince once again prepared his stance and rushed in.
「Teeei!」
「Hmm」
The knight repelled the prince's blow from above. The prince didn't stagger, but with his firm footing separated his sword and thrust the sword downward.
「Good」
The knight received it with his own sword. A sharp crack resounded.
「Prince, that time wasn't bad. Let's take a break here.」
「Ha, yes. Thanks, Sakyure.」
The two at the center of the practice grounds sheathed their swords and bowed, then returned to the rest area at the end of the training grounds. And then the Prince noticed a familiar face was there.
「Mother!」
The prince ran towards his mother, and from behind her Kazane and the others thought he was like a puppy.
「I'm home, Sieg. It seems you haven't been neglecting your training.」
「Yes mother. I have been training together with Sakyure today.」
「Thank you for your hard work, Sakyure.」
「Yes, thank you very much.」 \nSakyure straightened his posture and saluted. Unlike the prince, he seemed to have noticed Yuuko-nee earlier.
「Well then, mother. Who are those people over there?」
The prince gazed at Kazane and the others with interest. He was particularly considering Kazane, who seemed to be his age or younger.
(Perhaps, my fiancee?)
The prince already turned 11 years old this year, about the age to be curious about the opposite sex. Since it was someone his mother the Queen brought along, he thought it wouldn't be especially strange for that to be the case.
「Yes, these are my my friends Kazane, Yumika, and Tiara. They are close to Sieg's age and I hope you will get along.」
Listening to his mother's words, the prince became more and more convinced that one of the girls in front of him was a future companion for himself.
「I am happy to meet you for the first time. I am Sieg・Waiti・Shubaina, the son of Her Majesty the Queen Yuuko・Waiti・Shubaina.」
「I am Kazane・Yuihama, a friend of the Prince's mother and an adventurer 
 is that fine?」
Kazane turned to Yuuko-nee and asked, and Yuuko-nee nodded yes.
「I am Yumika・Tachiki, and am a friend of the Prince's mother, the same as Kazane.」
Oh? the prince thought after they spoke, but it didn't show on his face. As one would expect, an adventurer didn't have a sufficient social status to be a fiancee, so he would have to reassess.
「It's been a long time, Prince Sieg.」
「Eh?」
He raised his voice in surprise at seeing an acquaintance.
Tiara・Tsurug・Tsuvara, the neighboring Tsuvara Kingdom's first Princess. Although she was currently using the Elmar surname, as long as she was the Ruby Griffon's successor she was definitely next in line for the throne, and was the closest to the Prince's position.
「It's Tiara 

 Princess, it's been a long time.」
To the prince's words Tiara gave a small smile and corrected him.
「No, right now I'm not considered royalty, so Tiara is sufficient.」
「Huh, is that so?」
He did not know the circumstances, but thinking there must be some reason, the prince did not pursue any further.
「And this is Sakyure. She is the daughter of my General Dios and is a girl showing considerable promise.」
「I am happy to meet you for the first time. The introduction was taken care of but I am Sakyure・Galbaros. I am a fledgling member of the Royal Palace Knights, please treat me well.」
Sakyure greeted Kazane and the others. From a distance they could only tell she was a knight and it seemed like she could have been a young man, but at a closer look she had nice facial features and was definitely nothing but a woman.
「Well then, Sakyure. I'd like you to play with Kazane for a bit.」
\nKazane, on the other hand, also could not hide her surprise about what happened after the sword was activated.
ăƒŒFinished copying『Memory of Warrior.』Skill acquisition becomes possible by sacrificing possessed skill. Please choose the skill to sacrifice.ăƒŒ
A window suddenly appeared with that message. Although Kazane looked at it with puzzled eyes, as a test she selected her first but completely useless skill『Goblin Language』and pressed the OK button. Then Goblin Language disappeared from the skill list and『Warrior's Memory』took its place.

Kazane:「What is this feature?」
Yuuko-nee:「I don't know because there was no such learning function in Zexiahart. But you learned the skill, right?」
Kazane:「Yeah, I know that『Warrior's Memory』can be used.」
Yumika:「What does it do?」
Kazane:「With this skill alone I feel like my swordsmanship could put up a good fight against Kimberly-san, but with this alone I don't think I'd win. His ability may not necessarily be higher, but he could also use other skills and magic compared to just the one skill.」
