"Well, that was fun!

After an hour and a half of boating, Emperor Hilde smiled with satisfaction.

"Well then, Master Hilde, I think it's time for lunch.

It was 11:30 in the morning. Back at Nido Castle, it would be a good time for lunch.

"Good!"

Jin called a for Emperor Taisho, who looked a little tired.

This is, in short, a rickshaw pulled by a golem.

It was introduced to the village of Kaina after seeing it in use in Mitsuho.

The rickshaw is towed by a Land U. It is also sufficient as an escort.

Once a foreigner visiting Japan saw a rickshaw,

At any rate, if a golem pulls the car, there will be no such criticism.

The tires are made of rubber from the Perhias trees and do not contain tubes, but the suspension and dampers are of high performance.

The seat is also designed to be comfortable, so the ride should not be bad as long as the vehicle is towed at a brisk pace.

"This is nice.

"It's very comfortable."

The sunshade also blocked out the summer sun, and the two passengers, Emperor Taue (Hilde) and Flora, seemed to be satisfied with the ride.

Lunch was a specialty of the neighboring village of Toka, <. <.

This time, based on Jin's favorite <, the peridol leader of Hourai Island has devised a new seasoning.

The ingredients used are butter, soy sauce, salt and pepper, onion, bacon, and green laver.

"Oh my, it's delicious!

"This is ......!　I've never had it before, but it's good!

And so it should be.

<

Therefore, we did not need to prepare many kinds of sauces.

The fruit is Persica from Penglai Island.

The fruits are harvested ripe, so they are sweet with high sugar content.

The fruits are chilled, so they are pleasant to the palate.

And this is the most important, but hidden effect is .

This can be said of all fruits from Horai Island, but because of its high content of <>, it can be used to write magic.

However, the concentration of <> is not high enough to activate it properly, so it is only at the level of <>.

Nevertheless, it was not a placebo, but an actual effect, albeit slight, so it was the perfect dessert for the Emperor Taisho (Hilde) who was tired of playing around.

"Oh, it was delicious, thank you.

Jin said to the very satisfied Hilde,

"You must be tired from playing in the river. Please take a rest.

He laid out a futon in the hall and led them to a place surrounded by partitions.

The ceiling of the hall was high and airy, making it cool. It was the perfect place for a nap.

Yes, I will do that.

Thanks to the persica we ate for dessert, the risk of stomach upset or reflux esophagitis is very small even if we lie down after the meal.

The new tatami mats smelled pleasant, and Emperor Hilde soon began to fall asleep.

Flora was standing on the other side of the room, bracing herself to fulfill her duties as a guard.

Flora, you don't have to be so nervous, this Nido castle is warded, so please take it easy and relax your shoulders a little more.

Flora sat down in the chair offered by Topaz 101 and leaned back against the chair.

Shortly before 1:00 p.m.

A little before 1:00 p.m.

"Oh, I slept well," she muttered to herself.

Hilde, the emperor of the Grand Council of State, woke up.

Jin, who had been thinking about whether or not to wake her up at 1:00 a.m., was relieved.

Jin, what time is it?

It's almost one o'clock.

"Oh my... ....... You're doing your usual habit, aren't you?

After lunch, they take a midday nap (shesta) in an easy chair as a lunch break.

"I wish I could have slept longer."

Here, Jin says,

"Your Majesty, if you sleep too long, you will not be able to sleep at night, so I say 15 to 20 minutes is good.

He advised him to sleep for 15 to 20 minutes.

Hearing this, the Grand Emperor Hilde said to Jin,

"Jin-kun, it's Hilde, not His Majesty.

After I warned him,

"Well, I see ...... that your past habits are not so bad."

He seemed to be convinced.

"If you lie down immediately after eating to the point that your stomach becomes painful, the contents of your stomach may reflux into your esophagus and cause << reflux esophagitis>, so it is better to take a nap in a chair after eating."

He added, "If you keep your stomach at about eight ...... or even six portions, you should be able to lie down on the futon.

"I see. I'll keep that in mind. ...... By the way, where's Flora?"

"Huh?"

"...... You're sleeping, aren't you?"

"...... you're sleeping."

Flora was leaning back in her chair, breathing softly in her sleep.

"(What should I do?)"

Jin whispered to her so as not to wake her up.

"(Well, ....... I'm sure you must be tired from being my companion all the time. I'll let you sleep a little longer.)

"Okay."

Physical exhaustion can be removed with Persica juice and a nap, but mental exhaustion is difficult to overcome.

It would be nice if we could develop a magic to relax them, Jin thought at this moment.

"Well then, I'd like to read a book from the library..."

"Yes, please. I'll call you when it's a little before ......3 time.

Okay. Okay. Please do.

Saying this, the Grand Emperor Hilde hurriedly went to the library. He made sure to put Aqua 101 on just in case.

And Flora is still sleeping.

"I'm sure it's not cold, but ...... I don't know what to do.

Should I wake her up or let her sleep?

Emperor Hilde had told him to let her sleep, but Jin imagined that if he went along with that, when she woke up, he would probably feel responsible ...... for what he had done.

"Okay."

Jin came up with an idea and asked Reiko to go get Elsa and the twins.

"Yes, Father."

Two minutes later, Elsa arrived with Reiko.

"What's wrong?　They are napping right now."

"Oh, I see. ......"

Jin remembered that, unlike adults, it was customary to let the two toddlers take a nap.
