King's Headache
Early morning
In the royal castle, both civil and military officials are running around.
"Father!"
Giran enters the office
"Are you back? How was the Gala Root in the North?"
"That's not the point!"
Giran's expression shows impatience
"Calm down for the time being. I know what you're worried about."
"Why are you so calm! If there is no problem with the locomotive operation, they will arrive at the royal capital at noon!"
"Shiro-dono isn't such a scary person."
Last night, an emergency call by heliograph arrived at the royal capital.
-Airship-return-objective-fulfillment-immediately-heading back
The airship returns from the southern sea
They have achieved their goal of meeting up with Shiro Edgeworth.
They will return to the royal capital as soon as possible.
"You saw how everyone was in a hurry when you got here, right?"
"Yeah, everyone is impatient."
"Did you notice who's in a hurry?"
"Eh? All the military and civil officials?"
"It's their age."
"…Come to think of it, there were a lot of young people."
"That's right, those who have served for more than ten years are not in a panic."
In fact, many of them are chatting over a cup of tea while the youngsters are in a panic.
"There is no need to fear Count Edgeworth more than necessary. Rather, overreacting will make him feel uncomfortable."
"He wants it simple?"
That's what I mean.
It's better for sensei if they interact naturally
"However, Giran, be prepared for this."
"Prepare?"
"That's right. I don't think sensei will just simply return."
I'm sure he'll bring back something terrible that will give me a headache.
Something that could turn the country upside down if handled incorrectly.
"What does Father think he will bring?"
"How could I know that?"
So we need to share the information with a few people first.
We need to decide if it should be made public.
As I'm talking with Giran, the door is opened magnificently.
"Yo, yo! I'm first!"
"Wha! King Gadoga!"
The one who opened the door was the wolf king, Gadoga Ulfrika.
"Ah! You're Giran, right? You've grown big!"
He stroked Giran's head
"E-excuse, me..."
The king of the cat people, Myunich Suitka, followed him in.
He curled his back apologetically.
"Move a little closer to the edge, damn dog. It's too small."
Naturally, Tenrei Ninetails, Queen of the fox people, was with him.
"Four kings of the continent at once!"
"Of course. Shiro is coming back."
This is a story that must remain confidential.
But it was Queen Tenrei who wanted the most detailed report of the last ten years that he had been gone.
Not as a nation, but as an individual.
Perhaps she's in love with him?
"Quies, are you thinking of something strange?"
"No. No way."
"I see, then, good."
Dangerous
"Quies, will your son hear this too?"
"That's what I intend to do."
"Hmm, a mistake. We should have brought ours as well."
"You didn't bring them?"
"I thought it was too early. Maybe I was a little overprotective."
Then I have a good suggestion.
"Then how about sending them to the three countries when things settle down?"
"Are you sure?"
"If the sensei says it's good, but..."
"I appreciate it."
Light arrives at the gates of the capital.
"It looks like they've arrived. Giran, we will use the audience hall. Only the returnees and the five of us can enter."
"I understand."
---------------
Waiting in the audience hall
Footsteps with a mixture of clattering and other noises approach.
The huge door is opened
A group of brave soldiers proudly enter.
At the head of them is a man who has never aged
The person who achieved many glories
Our sensei
I thought I saw him.
At the head of the group is a child... maybe six years old?
He's wearing a black robe that's too big and tattered.
………………
No, no, no, no, no
That thing he's wearing belongs to sensei, right?
………………No, no, no, no, no
I know sensei never gets old, right?
That doesn't mean he's going to get younger, right?
…A child born to sensei Wince?
Yep
It's true, right?
I know mixed people can't have children, but they found some kind of solution, right?
"Shiro Edgeworth~! I'm back!"
I was speechless
"Kuh! Wahhahahahaha!"
Gadoga burst out laughing.
Myunich collapsed on the spot
"...That's cowardly."
Tenrei blushed for some reason
