--Midnight. Royal Castle. Private quarters of the First Princess Lilac M. Fangini.


　Lilac was alone in the bathtub with her mouth under the water, lost in thought.

"You're the 'unemployed' swordsman, Huta ......?"

　Gently close your eyes.

　Lilac had been analyzing her profession for some time.

　"Each profession has its own strengths and activation conditions.

　Most "professions" encourage a singular focus of talent.


　For a swordsman, it's not about being strong, it's about fighting valiantly.
　It is triggered by a struggle with another person.

　If you are a chamberlain, you are in the service of others.
　The triggering condition is the object to be served.

　If you are a manager, you have a "broad understanding" of your business.
　The triggering condition is the business to be managed.


　Each person was supposed to be happy in his or her assigned "occupation.
　Lilac didn't like that.

　Man is not a slave to his "occupation".
　"You are only human if you use the talents you gain from your profession.

　That's why he was impressed with Futa's mastery of swordsmanship even though he wasn't a fighter.

　And one more point.

　Lilac had long been interested in the "profession" of "unemployed".

　As the name implies, it is a profession that is considered to be a dry run with no talent.


　Is that really so?


　"It's not that there is no profession. You were given the job of "unemployed" for a reason.
　Then surely there must be some talent lying dormant there.

　That was Lilac's conclusion.


　There are very few stories of "unemployed" in action, so it took a while to find the reference material, but now there is a living "unemployed" in front of him.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I didn't tell ...... Futa that.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.
　For Lilac, a routine of thought.

The most fateful thing was that you, who had worked so hard without knowing anything about it and gained so much power, and I, who saw the potential in being unemployed, met.

　He unknowingly used his "unemployment" to hone his own abilities.

　Now, if only I could find that talent myself.


I'm sure you can help me change the world.


　He smiled a small smile.

So, I'm sorry Futa.

　--I can't let him go. No matter what it takes.
















　--The royal castle. The visitor's bedroom.


　It's not much bigger than the princess's room.

　In a room with enough room for a maid to run this way and that, the dull sound of cutting wind echoed monotonously.

　Bump, bump, bump.

You can do the same thing for three or four days and never get bored.

　While picking up some fruit from the side table, Corona rolled over on Futa's bed and watched him absentmindedly.

　The main man in the room, Futa, was wielding a large wooden sword, a fixture of the castle, over and over again.

　This is what we call pretending.

That's what hobbies are all about, right?
There are some people who do that.
So, Corona, do you have any other hobbies?

　It's hard to speak when you're pretending.
　This was the first time Futa had learned this in the past few days.

"Maids have plenty of hobbies.
Why do you have to pause every time you say it?
I'm going to hold my breath and mimic you for no particular reason.
You don't have to do that.

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

I'm not sure what to do.　I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I'm sure you're not the only one.
The maid's job is with Master Futa, you know. I'm sure you've got a lot of time, but a maid who works hard and diligently doesn't have any freedom. Yoyo!

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

I'm sure you're not the only one.
"Master Futa, Master Futa, this muscat is delicious.
Well, good for you. ......
Don't you want some?　It's delicious, come on.

　I glanced at it and saw that there was only a small piece of fruit hanging from the end of the almost naked stem.

Did you eat it all?
"Don't be stingy!　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be fine.　And...
Don't call it crunching. ...... And?

　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

There is a last resort, you know. ......?


"Final ...... wait, I don't have to tell you I have a bad feeling about this.
"When I cast a maid's spell on this stalk, the maid's stomach...
Stop it, stop it, stop it!

　I'm not sure what to say.

"I'm kidding!
I'm just kidding!
"You can eat endlessly, but I don't recommend it because you'll get hungry and starve to death!
Have you ever done that?
Yes, I have. It's only a man who tests his strength to the limit!
You're a man?
I'm a woman.
Then why did you lie to me? ......
I'm a woman.
Don't be so sure!　You're making me nervous!
Do you want to try ......?

　Corona rolled over in bed.
　There was nothing s*xy about it at all, and Futa was just tired.

You can at least tell the difference between men and women by the way they move their bodies. ......
"Hey. I was going to beg you to do something if you touched me.
There's no room for complacency. ......

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
I'm sure you can. You can feel like you've just eaten a meal, so it will take your mind off things.
It's a very sad use of ......, but it's also hard to believe that ten days ago I might have wanted to use it.

　I'm not sure what to do.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
You don't have to!

　You don't have to!" Laughing, Corona got up from her bed.
　She also cast a spell to finish making her bed.

It's a good way to pass the time when you play with Futa-sama!
Am I just a tool to pass the time?
"Everyone has their own hobbies, and my maid's hobby is becoming Futa-sama, so how are you doing?
I don't know.

　Futa suddenly looked up at the ceiling and thought.

　I'm having the happiest time of my life, he thought.

　The only thing I've been doing for the past few days is taking care of Corona.

　All I've been doing for the past few days is taking care of Corona, training, eating the rich food she serves, and crossing swords with Lilac.

　That's life.

　It's enough.

　Every time Lilac crosses swords with me, I can tell she's enjoying it.
　Corona is always close by to ease the loneliness I've been feeling.

　I couldn't ask for more.

　So, I'm chewing on my happiness.

"What? What? What?　Aren't you enjoying life?
"Oh, my God.

　The next thing I know, Corona is peeking out from under my face.
　I'm not sure if you're having fun or not.

"Is life fun or not?
"Hey Futa, what do you think?
...... I've never had much fun in my life. But now it's probably fun.
"Hmm.

　Hmmm..." A distracted voice escaped Corona's lips and she thought for a moment.
　I'm not sure what to say, but I'll try.

I'm not sure what's wrong with me. Futa-sama.
"Is that so?
"Yes. You're right.

　He held up his thin fingers as if he had thought of something.

Would you like to chase a bone in the meadow?
"Am I a dog?
Wrong. You want to chase bones in the street?
Don't try to make me chase bones at all costs.
I'll chase bones in the street.
What's the situation? Ah, ......

　I mean...

You're saying we should go out on the town.
That's what you said all along!
I never said that!
Come on, come on, come on!　Retsugo!

　I'm not sure if you've heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.






It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.


I know what you're thinking.
There's no ......, okay?
Don't be so sure.
