Princess Is, whom I had not seen in a long time, looked a little more cheerful.

I felt free.

A comfortable smile made by a person carrying a heavy burden as he puts down the burden for a moment and sighs. That kind of smile was softly on Princess Is’ face.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here, can you please welcome me? I’m feeling a little sad… .”

“… I am also very happy inside.”

“You have to express yourself! Blunt men aren’t popular?”

“Haha… .”

Cold sweat runs down my back. I feel like a frog in front of a snake.

This person called ‘Princess Is’ felt a little more like a snake than the sloth king with dragon eyes.

“I’ll try my best… .”

“Well, I like it! This kind of thing just needs to be adjusted slowly. Rather, it looks like the Haren royal family visited?”

“Yes. King Sloth went there.”

If the Haren royal family knew that I went there, there would be no need to hide it.

“The Sloth King himself… ? What’s going on with that sloth king?”

“Do you have any friends?”

“No. Um, is there any? I only saw it once when I was young. At the World Conference… . It’s a bit surprising because he’s famous for not going out in public. Hmm~.”

“‥‥‥.”

There was silence between Princess Is and me.

When her back was damp with cold sweat, Princess Is broke the silence and opened her mouth.

“Are you a fan?”

“Yes?”

“Sloth King. Aren’t you here because you’re a fan of Homer?”

“Uh, that’s… . Pan… It seems to be correct.”

I don’t think that was the purpose, but hmmm.

Even when I think about it again, he was someone I couldn’t quite understand.

“Really? Then you can do that.”

“Yes?”

“Because you can’t help but feel like a fan. Hehehe. Still, I am the author’s first fan and supporter, right?”

“… Yes.”

Do all members of the royal family or royal family have such unpredictable personalities?

Somehow I felt relaxed and leaned back against the backrest.

“Oh, I’m relaxed!”

“Yes… . What… .”

“It’s much better. I will continue to feel comfortable like that in the future. You can even lie down on the sofa.”

“With the royal family in front of me, that’s a bit… Isn’t that right?”

“Is that so? I don’t really care.”

The problem is because I care… .

“Rather, are you here to ask about the visit of the Haren royal family?”

“No? There is that too, hmm~.”

Princess Is was tapping her cheek with her finger for a moment and choosing her words.

Immediately, the words continued as if humming.

“Hamlet, did you write it to criticize my father?”

“Yes?”

“Father… So, the current emperor.”

“No.”

This was an immediate answer.

I’m not crazy, and there’s no way I could write something that criticizes the emperor.

Even if the empire is a constitutional monarchy… The charge of insulting the imperial family was still active. Even though the laws are equal, the classes are not equal.

There is only one reason why I plagiarize literature from my past life in the first place.

development of literature. Thus, the literature I can enjoy increases. There was no further reason.

“Really? That’s it then.”

“‥‥‥.”

“No, well, if the play I enjoyed watching was about swearing at my dad, it would be a bit like that. Even though it’s a rumor, I’m a little concerned… .”

“Uh, yes?”

“He may be a frustrating person, but he’s my dad… .”

Princess Is avoided eye contact and blushed as if she were embarrassed.

Uh, I mean.

It is not meant as a warning against insulting the imperial family or anything like that.

As a daughter, you came here because you were worried that the content might be insulting to your father?

“… Phew.”

“Oh, you were laughing at me just now!”

“No. It’s just that I thought, even if a child is a member of the royal family, a child is still a child.”

“The author of Homer is younger than me… ? This is ridiculous.”

Even though he is a member of the royal family, in his previous life, he was at most the age of a beginner in society.

After realizing that fact, I somehow felt at ease.

“More than that! What are you going to do next? Do you want to share it with your students this time too?”

“Hmm, I’m thinking about it.”

“Or, are you planning on serializing it in a magazine like The Count of Monte Cristo this time?”

“I’m thinking about that too… . Hmm?”

Have I ever told the princess about the pen name ‘Herodotus’?

“Why are you so surprised?”

“Ah, that’s… . Because I didn’t think you would know.”

“I know everything about the author.”

Grinning, Princess Is smiled mischievously.

Umm.

I think it would be a good idea to be a little more nervous… .

“Ah, you don’t have to worry about the tribute! Anyway, for me, if I can read the author’s work, that’s enough.”

“Yes… .”

“So, when will the next work come out?”

“Actually, there is a project that I am a little worried about.”

“Is this the work you are considering?”

“Yes.”

What I have felt from several situations so far is that this world is not yet fully ripe for rationalism.

Thanks to the advancement of civilization due to magic, it seems that we have become somewhat indifferent towards religion… Because magic is another mystery in itself.

Although it was possible to replace religiousism, it was difficult to give birth to rationalism as a philosophy of science, as on Earth.

“I’m trying to write a novel that will encourage people to think more ‘rationally’ based on ‘evidence’ and ‘logic’.”

“It seems like it might be difficult… .”

“It won’t be difficult. On the contrary, it is very fun, and… It will become a popular novel.”

.

.

.

“Oh my gosh, author Herodotus! Welcome!”

“Yes. Boss.”

“I am truly touched that you came to such a humble place! Okay… .”

“What… .”

The owner of Half & Half humorously pretended to cry.

It seems that the success of the Count of Monte Cristo was quite impressive. It was a piece of pure fun that went down in history, so it was worth it.

“The reason I came here is to serialize a new novel.”

“Oh my! Of course, I have to give you the serial column!”

“Oh, not right away. I need to do some data research.”

There are several works that represent serial novels.

The Count of Monte Cristo is pure fun. Les Miserables with increased length. Lovecraft of cosmic horror… .

But among them, the most famous work in modern times is—.

“The novel I’m writing this time is a mystery novel.”

As expected, I couldn’t help but talk about that work.

“Mystery novel… What do you mean?”

“Yes.”

This is Sherlock Holmes from ‘Why Did They Kill Holmes?’

“To be exact, it would be a detective novel. So, I would like to get some advice from an expert.”

“Yes yes! The best detectives in the empire served as advisors─.”

“Oh, not that kind of advice.”

Anyway, the episodes to be written in the novel were decided.

What I needed was someone who could edit those episodes to fit the ‘world view’ of this world.

And I already knew one such talent.

When I mentioned the talent I wanted to call, CEO Ryan nodded and shouted loudly.

“Are you talking about Clean, the head wizard of the Gray Magic Tower? I will bring you back, even if it means selling my publishing company!”

“If you sell the publishing company, you won’t be able to publish serials… .”

This person is a similar type of person to the Kindersling boss… .

.

.

.

[hello? My name is Cléan, the head mage of the Gray Magic Tower. I am writing this letter because there are parts of the description of magic in the work that do not fit the facts. In the works…]

.

.

.

“Hello… I’m Millie Cléan, the head mage of the Gray Magic Tower… .”

“Ah, yes. hello. There’s something very different between the letter and the image.”

Panda-like dark circles and tangled hair. A wizard whose appearance reminds me of a graduate student.

She was Millie Klein.

She opened her mouth in a slow, relaxed voice.

“Letter… Because there is food… . I was surprised that the author looked much younger than I imagined… .”

Right now, I haven’t drunk the ‘Hyde potion’. ‘Herodotus’ plans to work externally as my true self.

At best, he would look like he was just about to enter the academy, so it was inevitable that he would react like that.

“Ah, yes. The reason I invited the wizard is because I need the author’s magical advice to complete the work.”

As I said that, I took out the ‘fan letter’ she had sent me.

Although the content simply points out magic, I felt a high level of understanding of the ‘story’ in the content. What magic is used and how it is used was explained in an easy-to-understand manner, following each episode of the ‘Conan Saga’.

In other words, they were giving advice on how to keep the story intact while also protecting only the historical evidence.

It was difficult unless you had a deep affection for the work.

” I was very impressed when I saw this fan letter. As you can see, because I am young, my knowledge is somewhat lacking. So, I would like to receive some advice from the wizard in completing the work.”

“Chief… .”

“Yes?”

“Please call me Chief… . The head wizard… .”

She still speaks in a relaxed voice.

However, in a tone that felt somewhat harsh, he pointed out the title.

“I’m the chief… .”

“Ah, yes. Chief Wizard.”

“Senior: This is really great… . It means that he is the best in the Gray Magic Tower… . Among my classmates, there is no wizard who follows me as closely as I can… . Really… .”

“Yes. More about magic advice─.”

“Are you curious about how I got the title? ?”

“No.”

“Since you’re curious, let me tell you… . This goes back to the day I first entered the Magic Tower… .”

… No, this person─.

“So… . The magic tower lord immediately recognized my talent… . To be honest, I felt a little burdened, but there was nothing I could do… .”

─It was a Too Much Talker on a very slow topic!
