The Long Journey Until I
Reunite With You



The
Same-Aged and Persistent Princess





「Excuse my entrance!」 (????)





Suddenly, the door of my
house was opened immediately after it was knocked on. Since it’s made of wood,
it’ll be broken if you’re careless right? However, the one who entered did not
care in the slightest.





「I’ve heard, Velt! You made a
mess during yesterday’s practice examination! If you have an excuse, let me
hear it!」 (????)





I let out a sigh from the
bottom of my heart. With long blonde hair and a dominating aura, she had the
hot temper and looks of a n.o.ble’s daughter. She wore a black one piece dress
underneath a red mantle with an emerald brooch as an accessory. Her face was
really cute, but she had an att.i.tude where she looked down on other people, and
she was just ten years old. Well, she’s the same age as me though.








「Oh? Princess Forna, welcome.」 (Bonapa)





「Good day, Princess. We’ve
just started lunch, would you like to join us? Today I’ve made consommé.」 (Aruna)





My parents greeted her like
it was completely normal, it seems she was generally liked. Then, the moment
the brat looked at me, she let out a smile.





「Ah, obasama, I will accept
your offer.」 (Forna)





「Also, will Guard Captain
Galva join us as well?」 (Aruna)





「Well now Aruna-dono, I am
grateful.」 (Galva)





And then, for some reason or
another that person appeared. It was a giant man packed with muscles in red
armor nodding with a smiling face. What a pain.





(TN: Literally “troubling
(things) have come,” but it doesn’t translate well from j.a.panese to English.)





「By the way, Velt. I heard
about yesterday’s matter. You’ve continued to refuse my special training
invitation for magic to this extent, and therefore that would be the result
wouldn’t it?」 (Forna)





「Whatever, just shut up
already. I can’t do anything with magic, and I ain’t interested either.」 (Velt)





「Don’t joke around! For
example, in the future you will need the minimum magic techniques related to
working in the fields! With great trouble, I’ve requested approval from father
as well as the headmaster of the school for your enrollment.」 (Forna)





「You’re noisy.」 (Velt)





「*Muu* Velt you dummy! Are you
not planning to work in the future? Am I going to be the only one working once
we’re married?」 (Forna)





「Wait, why do we have that
relationship?」 (Velt)





「If I won’t do it, n.o.body else
would to marry you! For the sake of mankind, it is unforgivable to neglect the
continuation of your family.」 (Forna)





The nation is at peace, and
this is a good example of what comes from it. Even though it’s a fairly large
country, the princess of the whole country is regularly visiting the house of a
commoner. Of course, a guard had come along. This girl, Forna Elfashia, this
country’s princess, is my childhood friend of the same age. When she was around
five, she willfully escaped from the royal capital and got lost in the fields,
having us take care of her until she was escorted back to the castle. Then, she
often came by to drag me out along with her. But, that was back then, and when
I recalled my memories as Asakura Ryuuma, I just thought of her as a elementary
school kid. Dealing with her has been troublesome.





「Velt-kun. I think that
learning the minimum degree of magic would be better, don’t you? You often fight with your cla.s.smates and make them
cry, and in any event if you faced someone who has learned how to use swords
and magic, the outcome is obvious.」 (Galva)





「Uh huh, even though you’re
just a guard, you’ve been eating in someone else’s house from the beginning
haven’t you?」 (Velt)





「T-this is tasting for poison,
Ah, no, it’s not like I don’t trust Aruna-san you know! It’s just, since my
favorite food is consommé.」 (Galva)





Generally I a.s.sumed that
those of higher social standing wouldn’t a.s.sociate themselves with commoners.
However, in this world, this country was different. The relationship I have
with Forna made me somewhat famous, the royal capital’s soldiers pa.s.s by giving
me friendly greetings, the n.o.bles, and even the king calmly invited me to the
castle. It was that kind of happy life. Yet, even then, I couldn’t smile from
the bottom of my heart.





「So, what are we going to do
about them?」 (Velt)





When I noticed, my father and
the guard captain had been enjoying themselves since noon.





「Ooh, is that true?」 (Galva)





「Well, that’s how it was. Velt
announced that he was able to use fire magic, took a match and without
permission my treasured alcohol. Then, he held a bit of it inside of his mouth,
and since he in one breath blew upon the lit match, burnt a straw doll. Well,
although you’ll be dizzy after using up all your magic, since the teacher’s
pupil collapsed after drinking, the teacher came to me in tears.」 (Bonapa)





「Hahaha, that’s real exciting.
Velt-kun’s heroic tales always make me smile.」 (Galva)





That’s some serious neglect
of duty. The two were laughing with red faces while holding a conversation,
they completely looked like close friends.





「Stupid old man.」 (Velt)





「Stupid guard captain.」 (Forna)





The ten year old kids were
disgusted by the development. Or rather, will this country really be okay?





「Jeez, if papa and even
captain Galva are going to be like this, then they’ll continue forever. How
troublesome～」 (Aruna)





And yet it doesn’t seem like
you’re going to stop them, mother, right now you’re committing the same offense
you called troublesome. Then, from the kitchen, my mother took out a sack of
wheat flour the size of a child.





「Hey Velt. Can I send you on a
little errand?」 (Aruna)





「Eeh? Sounds like a pain.」 (Velt)





「Please～ Look, this time it’s a request from a proprietor who opened a
restaurant in the imperial capital. The proprietor doesn’t have enough wheat
flour and contacted me for a direct delivery of it.」 (Aruna)





What a bother. Going to the
capital on foot as a child, I’d rather not go that distance. But as I was going
to somehow refuse, I was. .h.i.t on the back of my head.





「Stop being irresponsible,
Velt. If you’re a man, you can do at least that much.」 (Forna)





「T-this kid.」 (Velt)





「Who are you calling a kid?!
You’re the one who’s being an unreasonable kid! And by the way, obasama, I will
be heading out with Velt. Please let us know the name of the shop.」 (Forna)





「Aah, princess, as always
thank you very much.」 (Aruna)





「No, it’s alright. This is
also because of how Velt is, so there’s nothing else I can do. It’ll be no good
if I can’t keep Velt under control.」 (Forna)





「Fufufu, if the princess holds
him down, then Velt’s future will be secure. Then, please accept my request.」 (Aruna)





The conversation forcefully
continued without my approval. When I was Asakura Ryuuma, I didn’t do anything
like requests.





「Umm, if I recall correctly
from the neighbor that handles the magic tool shop, the name of the restaurant
is 『Tonkotu Ramen』.」 (Aruna)





(TN: I’m fairly certain this
is referencing Tonkotsu Ramen, minus the s.)





「...What?」 (Velt)





I don’t get the name.





「What kind of food do they
serve?」 (Velt)





「That is, well, I don’t quite
know. But, from what I’ve heard it seems to be a dish that n.o.body has eaten
before.」 (Aruna)





Something that n.o.body has
eaten before? That’s kind of suspicious. Honestly, food is the only thing that
hasn’t changed between my life now and my life as Asakura Ryuuma.





Beef, pork, fish, and vegetables,
there’s even rice and bread. There’s also salt and sugar for food, and now I’m
thinking about my past world. If I’m talking about luxury, I’ll be happier if I
had soy sauce and miso, but I don’t know how to make it, so it’s pointless to
think about it.





「Well, even though I don’t
know anything about it, I got it. I’ll be your gofer.」 (Velt)





「Obasama, We’ll be off now.
Galva will call for someone to pick us up afterwards.」 (Forna)





All things considered, a
commoner accompanying the country’s princess on an errand is pretty ridiculous.
Rather, what the h.e.l.l do I do if we get attacked? There’s no meaning in having
the guards then. Well, it’ll be hard to track us down in this country full of
peace-loving idiots.





No, or is it that this is how
the culture of this world is? Ever since I recalled my actual ident.i.ty as
Asakura Ryuuma, a few things seem to have become strange.





(TN: Princess Forna uses
'obasama' which usually refers to another person’s mother. 'Mother' in English
can be used when talking to the mother of the person you're married to. Forna
and Velt aren't married, nor is there any indication they are betrothed, but
Forna uses the word anyways.)
