First day of training
　I was so exhausted that I couldn't even hold my sword and fell to the floor.
'Let's call it a day. Thanks for your help.

"Ha ha ha ha. Oh, thank you very much.
　I didn't have the strength to get up, so I felt sorry, but I rolled over and replied.

''Make sure you take care of your injuries, okay?

Yes. Okay.

"That was pretty good for a first day. Let's keep up the good work. I'll see you tomorrow.
　With that, Aaron walked out of the training grounds.

'Ugh ...... my body hurts all over.'
　I didn't expect to have to do a striking match with a sword from day one: ...... No, I was only getting hit one way, so I wouldn't call it a striking match.
　There was no time to teach the basics thoroughly and to teach my body that it would hurt if it didn't attack me back, so from day one I was beaten to a pulp.
　Because of this, I was able to learn to attack my opponent with a simulated sword.
　It's a good idea to start tomorrow if you have to suffer through the pain so much.　I don't think that's a good idea.
　Honestly, I'm afraid for my life!

Huh, I'm too lazy to get up. I think I'm just going to sleep here: ......

'You'll catch a cold if you do that, won't you?　Plus, we need to get those injuries fixed.

'Isn't that right ...... hmm?　I mean, why is Elaine here?
　I turned toward the voice and saw Hélène standing near the entrance with her arms crossed.

'Can't I stay?'

Yeah, that's not what I meant. ......
　Is that it?　You came to laugh at me after I got my ass kicked?
　Just as I was thinking that, Hélène walked towards me.

Okay. Then let me see your scars.

'What?　No, I don't know what "then" means. It's no fun to look at a scar, okay?
　And I didn't want Elaine to see me so covered in scars.
　I lay face down to hide the wound from Elaine.

Come on. Just turn around.
　My tattered resistance was futile, and my bruised face was seen by Elaine.

'Huh, I wonder if Aaron doesn't know how to take it easy?　Well then, let's start with your face.
　Treatment?　Does Elaine make allowances for you?
　But then Elaine gently touched my face.

"Itta!

You're a man after all.
　No, no, man, I know what hurts!　I was about to protest when a light went off from Elaine's hand that was touching me.
　What?　I'm so bright!

'What are you doing ...... eh?　The pain in my face has gone down. ......

Holy magic. In addition to summoning magic, I can also do holy magic. I'm not so good at it, but I can fix bruises and minor cuts.
　Ah, magic .
　Characters that can heal wounds are common in games and stuff, but wouldn't it be a hell of a cheat if they were in real life?
　Because all that pain is gone in an instant.

...... Hélène is awesome.

Of course. Who do you think I am?　The next queen.

"Okay, okay. It's great. My queen.

Jeez, it's too soon to call me ma'am.
　An embarrassed Hélène said and bashed her bruised back!　I slapped him.

'Itte~!
　You've got to be kidding me!

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll fix you up.


　Then Elaine was finished and I was standing up, checking myself out.
"Thank God. Thanks for the treatment.

You're welcome. How about a little gratitude?



"Yes, yes. I'm grateful. I can't believe Hélène came all the way down here to treat my wounds. Hélène is so much nicer than I thought she would be.
　You've always only gone that cold: .......
　Oh, is this Elaine's plan?
　He makes me practice in a serious manner and takes care of me gently so that I don't get tired of practicing.
　Then, no matter how hard I practice, I'm going to keep practicing and do my best.
　d*mn! ...... The princess certainly knows how to tame people.

Yeah?　I know!　Hmmm, I'm such a sweetheart.

Yeah?
　Huh?　Seeing Elaine so happy, I feel differently about it .
　Ha!　It's all part of the mission!　Don't be fooled. This is just an act to get me to practice hard!

　d*mn ...... but it's too late.
　My mind is ready to start practicing tomorrow.
　My body hates it so much. .......

"Mmm-hmm. How's that?　She looked at me and said, "Oh, sister. You're in a place like this.
　In the midst of my body being defeated in my mind, Hélène was trying to talk to me about something and a girl who looked like Hélène walked in to interrupt her .

'Leeds ...... why are you here?'
　Come on. You're my sister, so don't look at me like that. Sisters don't get along so well together, do they?

I just wanted to catch a glimpse of the hero your sister has summoned. Am I interrupting?
　Don't talk to me!　Look, I'm the one that Hélène is staring at now!

No, no. ......
　Well, I'll forgive you for looking so cute like Elaine.

Really?　Thank you!
　I don't know how you laugh ...... sisters can have such different personalities. .......
　With that in mind, I turned my attention to Elaine, who was still glaring at me .

''Oh, by the way, you don't have a man with you today like you usually do?''
　Walking with a man?

'What?　What are you talking about?　Are you the kind of sister who doesn't need to collect jewelry like you usually do?

Yeah. Kite is more important to me right now.
　Then Hélène hugged me, pressing her breasts against mine.
　Yeah, we'll talk about the softness of your arms against me later.
　I looked at Hélène as I told her that.
　She was still holding me, but she was looking at Leeds.
　She's like a child who doesn't want her toys taken away.

''Oh, are you already so in love with her?　Even a jewel-crazed princess can change when faced with a brave man. Ah, or is it more of a queen's status than a jewel?

You're the man-crazed princess. What's wrong with you guys?
　Man-crazy or some other disgusting nickname: .......
　I mean, are the sisters all dishonorable nicknames, or is this country's royalty okay?

'Huh?　I think you must have mistaken me for someone else.　Bravehearted: ...... Your sister is terrible. I'm a princess of purity.　Ever since I was little, I've lived my life thinking only of being united with a brave man.
　Yeah, even I can see it's an act.
　I thought that as he acted sad and shook my hand.

It's a good thing that you're a brave man. ...... No, Lord Kite. It's definitely better to have me than this woman who only cares about jewelry and the queen's seat.
　No, do you want the word?　That makes me even more suspicious of you.
　I've only seen Elaine for about four days, so I don't know, but at least she's done more for her country than you have.

What are you talking about?　Kite is my ......
'What does Master Kite say about your sister?'
　When Elaine tried to complain while taking my hand away from Leeds, Leeds fought back, covered up.
　Come to think of it, what am I, Elaine's?
　You've said before that you're a community of destiny, but I wonder how you feel about it in terms of Elaine?

I don't need to tell you that. Anyway, Kite is tired from just finishing her sword practice, so I'll leave it at that and you can go back to your room.

Oh, you're tired. I'm sorry about that. If you don't mind, I can heal you now?


　Then Leeds held out his hand to me and asked me to come with him.

'No, I'd appreciate the invitation, but no thanks.
　I didn't grab his hand and politely declined.
　I know it's just a matter of time before I get in trouble with you anymore.

I see. ...... If you change your mind, you're welcome to come to my room anytime.
　With that, Leeds quietly walked out of the training grounds .


'Huh ...... and you're going to Leeds' place?'
　Elaine, who had been holding me since Leeds was gone, checked with me with a sigh .

'What?　I'm not going?
　Not so trustworthy?　Well, it's only been four days, I guess.

Is that why you're not going because you're not comfortable with me?

It's not like that.
　What - why are you making it sound like Leeds is better than Elaine?
　Sure, she looks(¦) like Hélène, but I like Hélène better, you know?

Bullshit. Because Leeds is more affectionate and prettier than me with a bad personality, right?
　Oh, you're getting a complex about Leeds' affability .
　You're right, Elaine doesn't have that communication skill.

Be honest. You'd rather be in Leeds than me, wouldn't you?

No, it's not.
　I don't think we need to worry about Elaine because she has some goodness in her: .......

'You're lying!　Absolutely false!　I would definitely choose Leeds over me!

'Haha ...... I'll give you an honest answer if you say that much.'
　I was annoyed by the disgraceful way he had decided on something, so I turned my body around and faced Elaine.

'I've been in love with Elaine ever since I came into this world!　It was love at first sight to start with, so did you like him for his looks?　If you ask me, I can't deny it, but after watching Hélène for the past four days, I haven't changed this feeling. Now I can proudly say that I love Hélène, including her personality!
　I took a breath here and resumed blurting out my feelings again .

'Sure, Elaine can be harsh with her words at times, but on the flip side, she's always coming out with her true feelings, right?　It's true that most people would probably prefer a girl with polite and kind words like Mr. Rees earlier . But I prefer Elaine's stern but bizzare words to those superficial ones!

How's that?　Are you happy now?
　I finished, catching my last breath.

"Uh, uh, .......

Well, if you're in love with someone else, Hélène, you're in trouble. I'm sorry.

"Huh. ......
　I hurriedly fled from the training grounds and didn't listen to Elaine's reply.
　My mind wasn't strong enough to see Hélène's reaction.
