The Moonlight Princess In The Land of the Sun Day
Episode 22 The Moon Princess's Difficult Problems

　It had been a few days since she returned from Valver, Selene's life was targeted without realizing it, and except for the fact that she had unknowingly avoided the danger, it seems that everyday life has returned to normal in the rice fields of Herifalte. Milan have a serious problem.

　Although the sun had just risen, Milan was already standing in front of Selene's room with a tense look. From now on, he should head to his daily practice. If you miss this time, it will take a lot of time until you meet Selene. Milan took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Selene, I'm sorry it's early, but are you awake?"

"I'm sleeping!"

"You're awake. Sorry, could you let me in for a second."

　When Milano opened the door, there was a blanket rolled up on the bed in the room that was swept away. Of course, Selene was inside, but she was now wrapped in a blanket and looked like a big steamed bun, and she did not even see Milan's face when she entered the room.

"The weather was good today. It's a little early, but if you're up, why don't we just go for a walk?"

"No"

　Hearing the muffled reply from within the blanket, Milan sighed. I approached Selene's bed and sat next to her, but there was no sign that Selene, who had turned into a bun, was showing her face.

"What makes you so dissatisfied? You haven't been able to talk to me since you got back from Valver."

"…………"

　As Milan have said, Selene has been in a bad mood since she returned from Valver. He didn't even try to meet Milan in person, let alone talk to him, and he obviously ignored Milan during a meal.

"If there's anything wrong with me, I'll be careful from now on. Selene, where are you not satisfied? Say it clearly."

"Because the prince is the prince."

"Because I'm me?"

　Milan tilted his head at the words that sounded like a puzzle. Selene doesn't like Milan's whereabouts, so as she says. However, in the end, Milan never understood what Selene meant, and after an awkward silence, Milan left the room to practice his daily routine.

"Ugh, drugs, drugs ..."

　After confirming that Milan had left, Selene spoke like a drug addict. Surprisingly, Selene in her previous life had never tried such a drug. Selene refers to the white powder she obtained in Valver and seized by the Prince at the speed of light.

　After asking for an analysis from Herifalte's pharmacist, it turned out to be a very effective tonic. However, partly due to the fact that it was obtained from a dubious back alley in Valver, he was a little hesitant to treat it to the royal family, so it was kept in the royal palace's treasure vault.

　This is very frustrating for Selene. I thought that I could give a lot of tonic medicine and the prince's physical condition would collapse at once, but I thought that the prince had sensed the danger sharply on himself and had taken the first step.

　Of course, neither Milan nor the apothecary had any ill intentions, but since Selene's expectations were cut off, she no longer had the energy to make her daily poisonous bento, and for the past few days, she had, he slept unfaithfully like this.

"I want a hamono, a knife. a brush."

　If the cure was useless, in the worst case there was no choice but to attack directly, but Selene was in a position where she could not even do that. When Milan redeemed Selene, she was told by Arue that `When Selene was in captivity, she hurt herself - she cut that beautiful hair'', so he set the blade very tightly. It's done.

　Thanks to that, in Selene's room there was nothing but small scissors, and it was checked daily by an excellent waiter, so I couldn't even bring a knife from the kitchen.

"Mom, Colossus, Colossus..."

　Selene wrapped herself in a blanket and fell asleep again, muttering evil words.

　　◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"we have a winner!"

　The loud sound of a bee bear echoed in the training grounds of the royal palace. He is now the referee for training the soldiers. It was a one-on-one match with a simulated sword. This in itself was a very ordinary training, but the surrounding soldiers were stunned by the spectacle that lay before them.

　The one who won the meeting was not the master of swordsmanship, the Holy Prince of Milan, but a male warrior who had been a warrior for less than a year. The victorious boy, not believing that his sword had dropped the Milan sword, repeatedly looked back at his hand and the Milan sword that fell to the ground.

"Oh, prince! Sorry!"

"No, it's my defeat. Raise your hand."

　The child soldier, whose understanding had captured reality, turned pale and hurriedly bowed to Milan. On the other hand, Milan was calmly taking care of the boy. When I train here, neither the prince nor the recruits have anything to do with it.

"Prince, it would be best to leave it around here for today."

"What can I say, it's still morning. It's too early to finish training."

"If you wander around in such circumstances, it will affect other soldiers."

　Wasp bear slapping. Milan also understood that he could not concentrate, but he was a little reluctant to back out early from his daily training. Grabbing Milano's reluctant arm, Kumahachi forcefully pulled Milano under the shade of the trees where the soldiers rested, and the two of them sat side by side.

"Since he came back from Valver, the prince is a cicada shell."

"No, I'm very healthy."

“There is no point trying to hide it.

"There's nothing more to worry about"

"Ah, Mr. Selene is here!"

"W-what!? Where's it!?"

　Milano suddenly stood up and directed his gaze towards the direction that Kumahachi was pointing at. However, there was only a bright blue sky, a well-trimmed lawn, and people were training on it, but there was no beautiful white princess.

"... the bee bear!"

"Haha! Isn't that because of Lady Selene? According to what I heard, the princess is in a bad mood?"

"... that's right."

　Shame, Milano sat down again. Since returning from Valberg, Selene has almost never come to make bento. Milan didn't show it on the outside, but on the inside he was quite depressed.

"Will he see me ... Selene avoids me?"

"Why?"

"It's just a guess, but it's probably because I took the medicine he bought at Valver. Back then, I was just thinking of keeping dangerous things away from Selene, and I couldn't understand her feelings."

　Selene cared about herself and even wasted the money she could afford to buy medicine. I ignored her good feelings, scolded her unilaterally, and ended up trampling on her. Milano felt like going back in time and punching himself.

　In reality, Selene did not have a little consideration. Well, there's no harm in destroying Selene's hopes.

"So, so what does Lady Selene do now?"

"There is no island to follow. They didn't see me when he was hiding in the futon, and he didn't even answer correctly. I feel like I'm talking to a snail."

“There is an apology for Selene-dono?”

"Yes. I told him I'd notice if there was anything wrong with him. But he just said, 'I hate him because he's a prince.' I don't understand what you mean."

　Milano held his head with both hands and groaned. Even Milan, which can easily solve the problem of Herifalte National University, which is referred to as the hardest problem on the continent, has never faced such a difficult problem. It's a simple claim that "I don't like your existence", but Milan didn't even think of such an idea.

"Monster Princess?"

"Your. This is an old story from my country, but a beautiful princess from the moon appears before an old couple. If you bring something that you cannot do, you will give a difficult task and try to get rid of the man. "

　Exactly the same situation I'm in right now. Intrigued, Milan urged Kumahachi to move forward.

"So how's the story?"

"Well, the princess is finally going back to the moon, but..."

"That's disturbing!"

"Prince, this is just an old story."

"M-Sorry. That's true..."

　Realizing that he was less calm than he thought, Milan blushed. With a quick glance at Milan, Kumahachi added a wry smile to the story.

"So, in connection with the princess's difficult problems, in the end, the men who had proposed to the marriage had prepared all false means, but it all ended in failure. I don't think so."

"Sincerity .. yes?"

　However, Milan intend sincerely. Beyond that, what should I do?

"It's not an old story, but how about giving Lady Selene some kind of gift?"

"Did you say you were fishing with something? That won't be sincerity."

"That's why, it's all about sincerity. No matter how much you say it, if there are no real benefits, the hearts of people will not be able to move easily.That's why Selene-dono prepared what she really likes."

"Something Selene really likes, huh. Kumahachi, thank you."

"Cheap for you"

　Milan thanked Kumahachi and obediently ended the training that day. And then, immediately take a small train for transportation and return to the royal palace. Once he arrived at the royal palace, Milan rushed towards a certain room. I stood in front of the door that was painted white and knocked quietly a few times.

"Mary, are you there?"

"Huh, brother? It's still morning, right?"

　When Marie came out of her room, she looked at her brother with a strange expression, but she urged him into her room. Marie's room was filled with her favorite rose colors, from carpets to curtains. From a white table with a colorful vase of flowers to a bunny doll on the bed, the interior is perfect for a young girl. This was a huge difference from Selene's room, which was drab and only had practical items.

"Something I want to ask you."

"Must I guess what you want to ask? It's about Selene, right?"

　Seeing Milan's eyes widen, Marie smiled proudly. Ever since Selene came, Marie was increasingly able to take one from her sister, and this gradually dissolved her complex, returning to the normal sibling relationship as before.

"Why do you know?"

“Because Big Brother, recently, you have long gone to Selene's room and you were expelled. Anyone can understand that. What was? A fight?

"A fight..."

　Milan then told Marie what had happened. Marie, a girl of her age, probably understood Selene's feelings. Milan had never asked Marie for help like this before, so Marie was in a very good mood and listened to her brother's advice sincerely.

“Of course, you may want an apology in some form.

“As I thought... So, what should I give to Selene?

　Milano asked Marie in a somewhat timid tone for her. Up until now, I had planned to do things for Selene's sake. Only now did Milan realize that Selene had only reacted a little.

　I don't know if Selene was born and raised naturally, or if it's a combination of both, but for a child of that age, she's obviously different. She was not picky about food, she ate everything that was served to her, and one time when her mother asked her what she wanted, she asked for a hug. Besides, she was basically quiet and mostly slept, so I had absolutely no idea what she wanted.

　It's only natural that they don't understand. Because what Selene wants is food, sleep, and breasts. It was impossible for Selene to want anything feminine, and if she ate and lounged, and sometimes hugged her sister's breasts, life would be bright. In some ways, he couldn't be simpler and happier.

　However, Milan is bound by the recognition that since Selene and Marie are girls of the same age, there must be something in common. Of course, Marie was the same. Marie furrowed her brows, folded her hands and thought desperately.

"Hmm. difficult. If it was me, there would be a lot of clothes and stuff I wanted, but Selene didn't seem interested in that sort of thing... Uh! don't like it, I know."

"What don't you like?"

"The girl doesn't like roses."

"Roses? Rarely does a woman dislike that flower."

"You know? I love roses, and I remember thinking it was weird. Selene, she's a little weird."

"I know what you don't like. So what does he like?"

"Um, what's up. I thought you said something. Sorry, I don't remember."

"I understand.no, that's enough."

　While thanking him, Milan stroked Marie's head. Marie used to love being treated like this. Until recently, if you tried to touch her, your hands would be put away, but today Marie was a little nervous, but she was caressed obediently. Later, as Milan was about to leave the room, Marie called out to him from behind.

"Brother, I hope you can reconcile with Selene!"

"Oh, thank you. Marie."

　Milano was a little surprised, but immediately gave a gentle smile. Thanks to Selene, Marie came to support me like this. Milan didn't want to see Selene tend to get in the way again.

“I can't help it.

　Milan closed his eyes and hesitated for a while, but nodded as if he had made up his mind and called out to one of the servants nearby.

"Excuse me, but I have something I want to ask you right away, but is it okay if I get your time?"

"Yes. If it's okay with me."

　Since the prince said it was urgent, it must be a very serious matter. The waiter who thought so straightened his spine. Milano had the waiter carry a paper and pen. I wrote something on paper, signed it, folded it, and handed it to the waiter.

"I'm sorry to rush you, but please tell the president of Herifalte National University that you want to meet a student.

"Huh!? Did the prince meet his disciple!?"

　The waiter's surprise was well-founded. It was unheard of for the first prince of the great country of Herifalte to want to meet at least one student in person. Milan are well aware of that. If you act too rashly, you risk spreading rumors about yourself and the student, and causing unnecessary trouble. Nonetheless, if it was the prince's order, the servant couldn't fight him.

"In that case, may I ask the student's name?"

　Milano was silent for a moment. I wonder if this assessment is correct. However, in order to break through the current situation, student strength was absolutely necessary. And Milan said that name.

"I'm Arue Aquila-dono. Please tell me that I really need her strength."
