I'd come to the decision to have an audience with the king of Berqua
for the sake of courtesy as a saintess, and so we were currently
kneeling in front of the royal family in the throne room but,
"I welcome you, Saintess Elma. I'm Zestgard, ruler of this country.
This is my wife Lifia, and these are daughters Iris, Daisy, Lupine—"
No, that's way too many!?
Just how large of a family you want to create!?
Or rather, they all had the same face!?
Huh, they're sextuplets!? I goggled inwardly, but suddenly I noticed
something strange and asked the king, "Um, pardon me for asking,
but could it be that they all…"
"Umu, as expected of you, Saintess Elma. You seem to have noticed
it. Yes, as you have guessed, all of my daughters here have the
same power as my eldest daughter Zana—the 'Bow' Saintess."
"I see."
Wait, you still had another daughter!?
The queen seemed to be in her mid-twenties at most though, at what
age did she gave birth to the eldest daughter, then!?
These kids were about 10 years old, weren't they!?
In other words, despite his strict face, the king was a lolicon!?
Nooo!?
"There's some circumstances behind it. Well, given that you're a
saintess, there should be no problem telling you about it but, they
were born with Zana as the base."
"I see. That's why they all have the same power. I understand."
No, though I casually nodded in an understanding fashion, I didn't
get what he meant in the slightest!
Were they duplicates or something of the sort?
Huh, was something like that possible?
Lolicon's scary…!?
"Umu, I'm glad you're quick on the uptake. It looks like you're as
intelligent as your appearance suggests."
"No, I still have much to learn." I modestly me bowed like a model
saintess.
Well, I honestly didn't understand what the king was saying, but that
had to be the case, right?
He wanted to be surrounded by little girls since he was a lolicon,
right?
It was okay, I got that much without needing a detailed explanation.
I didn't have any interest in the king's fetish.
Hence, I decided to get the audience over with as soon as possible.
"But all of them seems to be very happy. Please continue to cherish
your bond with them in the future."
"Ahh, of course. I am thankful for your consideration. Thank you very
much, Saintess Elma."
◇ ◇
After leaving the castle, I asked the pig next to me along the way.
"By the way, what kind of woman do you like, Porco?"
"Huh!? W-why are you asking that all of a sudden!?"
No, what was with that a little hopeful face!?
You couldn't be thinking I was interested in you, could you!?
There was no way that's the case!?
I was just conducting a survey, a lolicon survey!?
"I-I mean Lifia-sama was very beautiful, right? It made me wonder if
men truly preferred young and beautiful women. Or rather, if they
preferred it the younger the women were. Like her daughters, for
example."
"I-I see. Lifia-sama's daughters were certainly beautiful, but if you
ask for my personal opinion—then I've got to hand it to Lifia-sama."
The pig asserted with a manly face.
Right, you were that kind of man.
I mean, Lifia-sama's were really big.
But well, good thing you aren't a lolicon.
I got an unspeakable sense of security but,
"—Ah, you're totally in my strike zone too, so please rest your mind,
Saintess-sama!"
...Huh?
No, why were you talking so condescendingly!?
Did you think you have the right to choose!?
You were too impudent, you pig!
"Fufu, thank you."
"You're welcome!" The pig smiled widely.
While I gave back a smile to him, I was boiling with killing intent
inwardly.
