--Klingbloom residence, midnight.


　A few days have passed since the battle between Richter and Huta.

　Richter, who had resumed his daily sword training since that day, was holding his sword in the courtyard today.

　It had almost become a routine for him to take a shower and go to bed afterwards, but today was different.


　With a ragged exhalation, the gladius spills from his hand.
　The silvery tip of the blade was pointed at him.

"...... Is that okay?
"Fine. I'll accept your terms.

　When Richter nodded, the tip was lowered.

I was wondering what kind of sprouts you had in mind when I heard you were Lord Treasurer. I was wondering what kind of sprouts they would be.
You're still a sprout?
"You're a little short for a man.

　The shadow snickered and appeared in the light of the stars.

　There was a girl with a cross spear in her hand.

I was hoping that ...... would send me some information, but I didn't expect to find someone I knew from my time in the service.
I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I think you're the best fighter in the world.　You also said you were the highest ranked fighter.
I also heard he couldn't beat Futa. The conditions are the same.
I don't know. ...... Well, I won. Now you'll do what I want, right?
Yeah. If I don't win, you won't.
Okay, okay, okay. --All right.

　Instantly, there was a rush of energy. The innocence of the past has vanished, and even though it's late at night, he's laughing fiercely with a sweltering fighting spirit.

I'm not going to lose this time.
"Oh, yeah?

　Closing his eyes, Richter asked the girl.

"In return, I hope you're telling the truth. "But in return, it must be true that Champion Huta is a deportee who was deported after a scandal."

　The girl nodded irritably. The girl nodded in annoyance.




















　--The royal castle. The room that had become Futa's private quarters.

I'll be back.

　I'm sure you've heard of it. In the middle of her circling, Futa was pretending.

"Mr. Futa, Mr. Futa!
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?

　Corona, who seemed to be bored with the song, asked, still circling Futa.

What is the relationship between the princess and Futa-sama after all?　What is it?
Do you think they're training together ......?
I heard that.
Well, that's it for now. ......
"Girrty!　Or should I say, "Dude!
You almost got me convicted.

　Corona sticks her finger in the air.
　But even though he was told it was a lie, Futa had no idea what else to do.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've. The other night, you let your maid go out to have fun.
"Throwing her out" is also unthinkable. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me at ...... and I will be happy to assist you.
I'm not sure if that's enough evidence.

　Another purpose is for Lilac to become the strongest, but that's another story.
　Another reason was for Lilac to become the "strongest." Another reason was to find out about the "unemployed.

　However, Lilac has been keeping quiet about the latter part in particular.
　Then, Futa decided that it would be better not to say anything from the beginning.

"......

　He noticed that Corona was staring at him with stony eyes.

"What's wrong?
What's wrong?　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be fine.　It has nothing to do with the maids.
"...... Sorry about that?
The other night, Futa-sama had a refreshed look on her face. There is no reason to blame the maid, nor is there any reason to apologize.

　Futa thought for a moment and then asked.

If you don't want to answer, that's fine.
"What? What?
You know, Corona is pretty strict with princesses.

What, you're asking me now?

　I guess that's what a big sigh is all about.



　Corona continued to play with her curly blonde hair.

"It's called conflict of interest. We are not together because we are good friends. It's sad, though.
"What ......?
The maids can be a bit more friendly with the princess now that they know who she is. The maids can get to know the princess a little better, but she won't approach them.
Is that so?
Yeah. As a maid, I feel more affectionate towards Futa-sama when he gives me a passionate love call.
I didn't make a love call, though.
It's not just maids, but also the commercial union, where she has made various contacts in the form of contracts.　I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know that. ...... That's what women are like, ...... boy. ......
Who's that?

　Corona, impersonating a noblewoman, closed her eyes and .

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.
"...... says you're a man who does things when he has to?
I'm sure the maids do. I'm sure you're not the only one. You know?
I know you're worried about me. Thank you.

　Just," Futa said, looking at Korona.

　I'm just saying," he told her, his eyes twinkling with his long eyelashes.

I want Korona and the princess to get along.
"......

　Blink, blink, blink. Blink, blink, blink.

"...... Haha. Hahaha!　You should know who's being worried about right now?　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　It's not a joke, it's what I really think.

　And...
　If you're keeping even Corona away...
　The feeling Futa had before was probably right.

　Which means Lilac has been fighting alone and will continue to do so.


"Futa. Are you there?

　That's when I heard the knock.

"Yes, Futa-sama is at home.
"Why would Corona say that?

　The door opened and in walked Lilac, dressed in the formal dress of her office.

"What is it, Princess?
I have good news. --The opportunity has arisen for you to prove your strength, as you said at the beginning.

　Smiling, Lilac says, "Of course, you must win.

"Of course, you must win.
