That was a close one.

　I let out a breath of relief as I landed in the shopping district of King's Landing.

　I didn't think that the uncle who was leaning against the window would drop his crown into the courtyard.

　Thanks to that, the knights were looking up at the sky, and I was in the air, and my presence was nearly exposed.

　I was lucky enough to see my uncle wearing the crown, but I couldn't see him clearly.

　The fact that he was wearing a crown gives me a high probability that he's a king, but I'd be suspicious of him showing such an abomination.

　I still want information that will be confirmed. It would be disrespectful if I said it was a battle pencil with a king motif and used a different person as the motif.

I'm sure you'll be able to get a stable source of information, maybe a portrait or two.

　I know there are bookstores in King's Landing, but do they keep portraits of kings?

　Or is there one if I go to a museum?

　I don't know, as I've only strolled around the shopping district properly in King's Town, and I don't have any knowledge of the land.

It's no use. I'll just keep shifting and ask people at random.

Are you in trouble?

　Suddenly, I turned around when I was accosted by two armor-clad guards.

　A grim-faced uncle with a beard and a dead young man with somewhat languid eyes - Huh?　I've seen this guy before.

Uh....

　Not only me, but the other man noticed me too, and let out a goofy voice.

'Kenny, do you know this girl?'

Yes, well. We've met in the square before.

　I met this man, known as Kenny, when I came to King's Landing for the spring noble exchange.

　We chatted for a bit on the bench while we waited for Eric.

　I don't know how he remembered me, even though we only spent a little time together.

'Then Kenny's a better fit than me?

　Kenny's uncle, who seemed to be Kenny's boss, said and then stepped back a bit.

　Apparently, Kenny was in charge.

'Ah, what are you doing here?'

　Apparently, these two guys were worried about me when they saw me standing alone on the side of the road.

　Looking at my appearance, it can't be helped, but I'm still an adult inside.

　I'm a little embarrassed that I'm being questioned about my duties even though I'm a good age.

"Let's take a little walk--

　I tried to fool him with a suitable reason, and I saw Kenny lower his eyebrows in disappointment.

　Kenny is currently working as a security guard in the royal capital. The one-on-one with his boss must be distracting and tiring for him.

　There was something I wanted to ask him anyway, so let's ask Kenny.

'-No, I was just looking for something.

Looking for?　What's that?

I've never seen the king before, so I was wondering if there were any portraits or anything.

'There's a museum in the aristocratic district for portraits, but I wouldn't recommend going there with a child alone. There is a possibility of being held back. There's a statue of His Majesty the King in the north square.

Which way is north?　I don't know King's Landing well enough to know.

"Well Kenny, it's not safe to let the kid go alone. I'll be watching this place and you can take him with you.

I understand.

　The truth is, I know, but my boss told me so when I pretended not to understand.

　Kenny's expression was languid as he replied, but I think the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

'Let me show you around then,'

Thank you!

　I responded like an innocent child and I followed Kenny.

　Then, when my boss was out of sight, Kenny opened his mouth.

'Truth be told, you could have gone alone, couldn't you?'

Yeah. But a name like that makes Kenny feel better about being away from his boss, doesn't it?

Well that's true.

　This is like going out on the road alone, away from the boss.

　If you have a good cause and role to play, you can be forgiven for slacking off a little bit of work.

It's a job with long hours. It's so stifling to be working so many hours, even with your boss.

'Quite. Normally I'd just take a walk--or is it too obvious?

Is that right?

　I couldn't help but think back to my past life and say solemnly, which made Kenny suspicious of me.

　If I sympathize with him too much, he'll think I'm strange, so I try to change the subject.

'Speaking of which, how are you and your girlfriend getting along?'

　Speaking of Kenny, I was impressed with this other languid girlfriend I used to have with me.

'Well. I work with that guy, too, and we see each other almost every day.

So she's a guard.

Yeah.

　My curiosity is unexpectedly piqued by an unexpected workplace relationship.

'Which side approached you or something?'

Do I have to tell you that?

　Kenny frowned blatantly, as if he was embarrassed to say what he was doing with his girlfriend.

'Don't you think you'd get more of a break if you reported to your boss that my selfishness made me show you around somewhere else?

...and not from either of them, if I may say so.

　I guess my desire for a break won out over my embarrassment.

　Kenny made a salacious statement of fact in response to my dealings with him.

'What do you mean it's neither?'

'Me and him aren't the workaholic type. We have the same mindset, so we tend to work in pairs, and when we were together all the time, they treated us like a couple.

　I see, the type who were buried from the outer moat.

　It is true that the two of them do not have a sense of justice, and they are the type of people who do the minimum amount of work for their money.

　They must have hit it off because they share the same way of thinking.

　It's good to be able to appreciate the way you work and live your life.

So?

I liked that guy rather a lot, and we decided to go along for the ride.

"Hmmm, so which way did you tell him off?

'Neither of us did. The next thing you know, we were lovers.

　Yeah, it's kind of a pattern that happens sometimes with men and women.

It's a very slimy lover's relationship.

Well, it's not like we're in a relationship that's going to change anything now.

　The fact that we are able to spend time together outside of work like that means that we must like each other.

　But it's a bit sad to see a relationship that isn't clearly verbalized.

　But that's Kenny's problem, and I don't think it's going to resonate with me, a seven-year-old, if I tell him about the relationship between a man and a woman. It would be unnecessary.

　He'll have his own pace, and there are couples like that.

'We're here. That's the stone statue of His Majesty King Jigil over there.

　What a thought, and before I knew it, we were at our destination square.

　I looked at where Kenny was pointing and saw a large stone statue there.

　A man with a majestic face held up his arms.

''........Is this the king?''

Yeah, yeah.

　He looked like the uncle in the crown, but his face and body seemed to be slightly different.

　The uncle I saw at the castle was more dull. He seemed a little chubby and not as muscular as this one.

　But the shape of his face and hair style are definitely the same uncle I saw in the castle earlier.

　That means the uncle who dropped his crown on the courtyard is the king.

　Hmm, that's the king.......is that the king......or is this country very strong?

　But even the king is a human being. There will be times when he makes a mistake or needs a break.

　In his everyday duties, he must have a face as dignified as this stone statue.

　The battle pencils for the king would be better drawn with this stone statue as a motif.

Satisfied?

Yeah, thanks for showing me around.

It's my job.

Well, let's just take a walk around. It will be easier to excuse myself later if my colleagues have seen me.

'You're definitely lying about your age, aren't you?　How old are you really?

　Rude. They're a real seven-year-old.......in appearance.
