Oh, here he is at last. Morning, Leo. How did you sleep?

Good morning. Yes, I slept very well.
　I greeted the Emperor and took my seat at the maid's table.

That's great. Well, let's finish our meal.

Hey, don't look so sleepy, Shelia, I went to wake you up. You need to wake up now.

Ummmmm ......


　We then had lunch while chatting.

　After lunch, we were escorted directly to the emperor's office, where the emperor usually works.
　In the room was the emperor, me and my uncle.
　Elise says she's listening to the story of Shelley with the queen.

So let's talk about what we've learned.
　The emperor asked his uncle for his report.

Yes, then I have something to report. It's about the men that Leo-kun captured yesterday, and after questioning them, they turned out to be knights of the realm.

'Right, ...... so what was the purpose of the knights of the kingdom?'

That's why ...... apparently came to buy the princess as a slave of the king.

Slave?　d*mn ...... that greedy bastard. ....... So, have you figured out where Melissa is?

And since they split up after I gave them the money, they have no idea where they are now.

''Well, for now, tell the Knights to increase the security of the Imperial City, especially the night patrols.

Yes, I understand.

And finally, what about Allen?

"Regarding Allen, he says he knows nothing about ....... They are in the business of transporting the princess to the kingdom, and they are not involved in the kidnapping.

"No sign of Allen? We need to redouble our efforts to find Allen and his burglar. We can't afford to have any more problems in our country.

All right. We'll find out for you.

Yeah, nice to meet you. Well, I guess that's all we have to ask Damien. So, Leo, tell me how you came to rescue Shelia.

Okay. ......

　Then I told him about how Allen had provoked me, and how Cliff had told me where Sherry was, and how I'd gone to the place he'd told me and the culprits had just come out.

Allen was at Mr. Leo's, ...... and he went out of his way to provoke them, so why wasn't he there when Mr. Leo went to help?

It's a mystery. Are you trying to get me to help you?

I'm not sure. I don't know what the intention was: ......

　Really, what did he come to me for?
　You came all the way down here just to give me Shelley's necklace?

　I'll ask her what she wanted next time I see her.
　Of course I won't let him go next time.

Well, it doesn't help to wonder. Anyway, thanks, Leo. I'm good to go for now. I may call you back a few times, but today is a holiday. Oh, you can go play with Sherry.

Okay. I've got something for Sherry, and I'd like to see her before I leave.

'Oh?　What are you giving him?

'I'm just giving you back the necklace Allen had taken from you.
　Then he showed the Emperor the necklace of love.

"Oh, I see.

Okay, then I'll go.

Yeah, see you.

　I said goodbye to the emperor and was heading to Sherry's room when I ran into Elise just in time.
"Oh, Leo. Are you done talking to the Emperor?

Yes, are you done with that one too?

Yes. The princess is now in her room talking to the queen.

Okay. Thank you for your help.

Good evening, Leo. The princess is waiting for you. Make sure the princess is well taken care of today, okay?
　Elise smiled at him and went away.

　Let her be pampered. ......
I was going to give it to you and then leave, but I guess not. ......
　I walked into Shelley's room, muttering to myself.

　I walked in and found ...... Sherry and the Queen.
"Hey, Leo. Are you here to see Shelia?　Okay, I'm going to leave you guys to it. Bye, Leo, you're going to have to get along with him.



Uh-huh. Okay.

Okay, you're looking after my daughter.
　The Empress said that as she left and patted me on the shoulder.

"Oh, I see.
　I rushed to answer and he left.

　And then we were alone in the room.

"...
　That's awkward: .......
　The look on Shelly's face reminds me of how she kissed me yesterday: .......

'Well, um, ...... thank you for yesterday.'
　When I couldn't talk to her, I was silent and Sherry started talking to me.

"Uh-huh. No, um, ...... you're welcome. And here.
　I gave her Sherry's necklace.

"This?　Oh, that's the necklace he took from me!　Did you get it back?　Thank you!　I was hoping you wouldn't get it back.
　As she said this, Sherry hugged me excitedly.

"Well, I'm glad you care about it enough to make me happy. I'm sorry to say that ...... was handed over to you rather than taken back.

I don't care about that. For that matter, you're not going to put that necklace on me because we're sticking together.

'What?　Uh-huh. Okay, okay.
　I did as I was told and put the necklace around her neck.

"Thank you.

Uh-huh. You're welcome.

"...
　For a while, we were attached to each other without speaking anything: ...... No, it was a hug.

"Hey, Leo. What did you think yesterday when I kissed you?

'What?　How, what did you think?
　I'm sorry, I thought you just started talking, but what's the matter with you all of a sudden?

Yeah. I did it yesterday because I was so happy that you saved me. ...... Were you happy?

'I was happy ......?　Um, ......, it was nice to see you.

Really?　Hey, honestly, do you like me, Leo?

What's going on?
　Why do you keep asking so many embarrassing questions earlier?
　Do I have to answer this?

Just answer the question.
　But Shelley's face was serious.

'Wow, okay, ...... I like you, Shelly.'
　I gave up and told the truth .
　I'm so embarrassed .......
　Maybe I should be blushing really hard.

Yeah!　Now I can get engaged to Leo!

"Huh?

Oh, um . Actually, my mom said she'd make us engaged if I made Leo say he liked me.

What do you mean?
　What is Sherry saying?

"Well, ......, my next reward is Watashi.

Eh ～～～～!!!
