You can use magic, right?
I'm sure she's got everything she needs to do her job as a maid.　I'm sure!

　For example, as soon as she said that, she jumped into the bed that was prepared in the room.

"Mmm, the smell of the princess!
Didn't you just say you don't smell like a princess?
You remembered, didn't you?

　Corona jumps off the bed with a straight face.

　Then she lit her finger and waved it at the bed.

Oh, ......, the messy comforter's back on in an instant.
It's no different than recording your voice, though.
...... records the shape of the bed and then plays it back?
"Oh, Futa-sama, you are so clever!　I'll give you the princess's pretty sleeping face as a souvenir.
I'm at a loss for a response .......

　When Corona waved her finger, a lilac appeared in the air. The lilac is about the size of the palm of your hand and is sleeping peacefully in your bed - a record.

　It was cute.

"Can I get one of these?
"Of course not! It's the maid's magic.

　When Corona waved her finger again, it disappeared.

I see. ......
I'm not sure what to do. I'm going to give you a grade 4 for stalking the princess.
Disgraceful!　I'm not even breathing hard!

　I'm not even snorting!" Corona laughed with a mocking look.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. I was a little bit pissed.
You don't have to tell me that.

　I could understand the magic that Corona could use.
　However, magic is supposed to be a skill that only a limited number of people are allowed to use.

"Isn't Corona a chambermaid?

　The most common type of "occupation" is that of a chambermaid, secretary, or bodyguard.
　But a maidservant cannot use magic.

　But a maid can't use magic.

You think a maid looks like a chambermaid? Do maids look like 'attendants' to you? A maid looks like a maidservant. Where would you find a maidservant who plays with the guests of the master she serves?　Ha-ha-ha!
You say that yourself.
A servant is a person who can make the most of his power by serving others. I don't think there's any such thing as a servant who mops people up.
I don't know if this is self-deprecation or self-mockery. ......
"Maid, I'm not self-deprecating or self-mocking at all.
Then be a little bit sorry!


I'm the only one who wasn't laughing at this guy.


　The only time I heard that line was when I remembered that I felt sorry for him.

"...... So, what is Corona's profession?"
I'm not sure.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'll tell you when the maid's sensitivity is a little higher.
"What the hell?
I'll just give you a hint. I'll just give you a hint. ...... It's a pitiful profession that can only be enjoyed by playing with others.
That's what Corona is. ......
I'm not sure.

　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.
"It was Corona who moped, and I'll stop calling her that because it's the most disgraceful thing I've ever heard. What's your name again? Mr. Richter. What is he?
"No mopey.
Don't say "mopey.
...... He's the first of the so-called aristocrats. He's pretty big.
If he's a nobleman, does that mean there are other factions?
"I think it's the same in every world, not just in the royal court. The person who was mopped has been in fierce competition with the princess.
Did you mop that person?
You mopped that person?

　The fact that Corona is allowed to be so rude is probably due to her magic.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and how you can use it.

I'm not sure what to make of it. You can rest assured that you will not be messed with by any other castle officials through her.

　Futa now understood why Lilac trusted her so much.

I'm sure it's a lot of work for the princess to have so many enemies. I'm sure it's a lot of work, especially now that the King is away.


Are you going somewhere?
I think he's having a chat with some bigwig from some other country.
You mean a meeting. ......
That's one theory.
Isn't that the only way?

　The details of the kingdom are not known to Futa.
　Factions, interests, and many other considerations are involved in the battlefield, and Futa will have no place in it.
　This is not the Colosseum.

Is there nothing I can do?
I don't think so.
You're cutting me off.
At least for now, the more you do, the worse it will be. The more you do, the worse it will be.
......
"However, it's not the princess's intention to leave the castle.
I see. It's a little frustrating.
You're so serious!　You don't have to do anything.　So what's wrong with that?

　When asked that question, Futa thought for a moment.
　At the Colosseum, the harder he tried, the worse it got.

　The harder he tried this time, the more he might end up in vain.

　I don't want to cause trouble to my benefactor.

But I do want to return the favor. ......
So, lamb chops for the lost lamb!
Advice. That'll kill the lamb.
If you want to repay the princess, you must live up to her expectations.
"Expectations?

　Corona clears her throat.

"To tell you the truth, the princess doesn't need your help.
Is that so?
You can't build a castle by yourself, though. For example, when the princess wants to build a castle, she has already gathered the materials for it and just needs to tell her men to do it.
"I see. He has great planning ability.
"Yes, yes. When you have a goal, the plan is already finished. He is such an intimidating person. So, if you want to repay the princess...
"I'll do whatever the princess asks me to do.
That's right, you understand now, don't you?
By the time you have a purpose, the plan is over. If the princess asks me to do something, it means she can't do it by herself.
She only lets me help her in such cases, right?

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

But that's the only thing that motivates me to do what the princess asks.

　I'm sure you'll understand.

　I remember Lilac's words.

It's okay. You can relax. There are no changes to the terms. I'll take care of everything on my end.

　That means she really does have the roadmap for "everything" built in her mind.


"Man is not a slave to his profession. You've shown us that firsthand.
You have demonstrated this to me. ...... I hope you will continue to do so.

　This is probably more important to her than Futa realizes.


I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you. I just want to be the strongest.
To be strong: ....... You want me instead of a teacher?
Yes, I want you.


　After talking to Corona, Lilac's words resonated even more.


I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this, so don't think that you're the only one who can talk to her.
I'm sure you're right, .......

　I'm sure you've heard of it.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. In order to solve the mystery, the maid flew to the kitchen!
"No, not lightly--" "Where are you going?

　The maid flew to the kitchen to solve the mystery!

　Then she turned around in disgust.

You said the kitchen!　I'm going to update your record of delicious meals soon, so just wait and shake.
"Oh, yeah. Thank you.
Tee-hee.

　Finally, with a smile on her face, Corona left the room.
　I noticed that the sun was already setting outside the window, and the high ceiling was dimly lit.

　An ore that reacts to the dark and lights up. I knew it was a luxury item, but it was a royal castle, wasn't it? It was provided as a matter of course.



　In the quiet room, as if the storm had passed, Futa let out a breath.

　The day has been really hectic since he met Lilac, his client, in the morning.

　After meeting her, I was invited to the royal castle.
　For the first time, I was recognized for my efforts.

　I met Corona and she took care of me.
　I was saved in many ways.



"...... was a good day.


　Probably the best day of my life.


　That's why he promised himself he would never forget this favor.




　That's when it happened.

　A knock sounded quietly, but clearly.

Yes.

　When he answered, a dignified girl was standing at the open door.

It's been a while since I've seen you before noon. I've been looking forward to this time all day.

　She smiled softly.
