--King's castle. Futa's private quarters.


Sleeping!
At least take off your shoes and jump in. ......

　Corona dives into Futa's bed, her face buried in the pillow, and doesn't move a muscle.

　Lilac had already left the room to take care of some business, and the two familiar faces were in the room.

　It was quiet, then.

"Hey. Come back to .......

　Her headdress swayed.
　It seemed to be a statement of denial.

　He scratched his head and said, "Oh, no.

I don't care how much you want. I'll do anything you want right now.

　In fact, he said this with the intention of doing anything, even dancing naked, to put Corona in a good mood.

　There was no pride there.
　There was no pride in it. It was the determination of a man who walks around with clothes on, who never wants to avenge a favor.

"What about the power of the 'unemployed'?"
"Oh, that's... I mean...
The two of you look like you understand each other!　Only the maid was left out!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
It's just you and the princess, anyway!
No, really, you're right.
The maids don't even know what a warrior is!　What's a warrior?　"Martial"!　It sounds like a swear word!　"Butin, butin, butin, butin!
"Wow, that really sounds like a swear word. ......

　Corona began to hit in an incomprehensible direction.

"Stop flapping your legs so much. I can see inside your skirt.
There's nothing s*xy about a Drowers anyway!
I don't need that information either!

　But in fact, Lilac and Futa were the ones who half-heartedly spilled the information.
　But since Lilac was the one who gave out the information, she might have thought it was okay to tell Corona.

　But it's supposed to be a secret between them.

　It was Futa's feeling that he wanted Corona and Lilac to get along with each other, even though it was okay for him to complain to Corona.

I'll be right back.
"Boo-hoo!

　I'll go ask Lilac for permission just in case.
　He thought about it, but he didn't want Corona to feel uncomfortable with Lilac if she refused, so he decided to go out without telling her.

　And that's when I touched the doorknob.

　There was a knock at the door.

"This is Richter L. Klingbloom. Is Futa there?
"Uh, yeah.

　As Richter tilted his head, wondering what he wanted at such a time, Huta turned to open the door.

　He did not want to show Corona's disgusting appearance, but his concern was in vain.
　She fixed the bed and turned away to sweep the floor, as if she had used some kind of recording technique. ...... the floor that had just been cleaned.

Here you go.
Excuse me, is he here too?

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

It's all right. I'm not going to mop you up no matter what you say.
"First of all, don't call me Moppy, you disrespectful person.

　He glared at her, but she must have noticed that something was wrong.

Are you in the middle of something?
No, it's .........
It's none of my business anyway.
Okay. ......

　Richter sat down on one of the couches and motioned with his chin for Futa to sit in front of him.

　This is a great way to get the most out of your time and money.

You'll be able to get a lot more information on the web. Women can be troublesome when they're angry.
"Oh, hi. Did you mean it?
It's just that you're too visible to pretend not to see.

　Exhale.

So, what do you want?
I'll get straight to the point.

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

You're going to lose the game tomorrow. I'll give you a price.











"Whoa, whoa, whoa.












I told you I wouldn't mop up no matter what you said. ！！！！！
You're not allowed to talk about the 800 games, Mr. Futa. You're a human being.



　When Richter's face is mopped, Huta offers him a handkerchief. Richter snatched the handkerchief, wiped his face roughly, and barked, his face turning red.

I'm sure you're not the only one who's had a bad experience.
It doesn't make any difference whether or not this scene is taken by the Rokujutsu or not.

　"It doesn't make any difference whether this scene is taken or not.

　But he felt a nostalgic bitterness.
　He had always regretted that day when he had been trapped in a corner and had fallen for the game of chance.

"Mr. Richter. I'm sorry, but no.
"...... If you don't want money, you can have a woman. If you don't want money, you can get a woman, a much better woman than this.
No, Mr. Richter.

　I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I don't care what you say, I'm not going to play the game. "I'm sorry," he said.
"Master Futa, ......

　I'm not going to let you get away with it.

I'm not sure why. I'm not sure what you mean.
I can understand why Mr. Richter looked into my past. But I consider it to be the greatest shame of my life. I'm not doing it again.
"Gosh ......

　But still Richter did not give up.

"It's not just about this one battle. It's not just about this one battle.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　Seeing that she showed no signs of using the recording technique, he continued.

"I can't allow your highness to tyrannize. For the sake of the people.

　When Huta raised her eyebrows, Richter continued.

"Think of his profession. The king is being deceived by manipulation. If this continues, the country will--

　Richter leans back and grabs Futa's shoulders, as if to say, "I don't think so.

　But Futa restrained him with his hands and shook his head.

What?
I don't care. He saved my life, you know. He saved my life. I'm sorry for what Corona said. I'm not gonna do it again.
"Gosh, .......
I don't care who he is, I'm going to pay him back.
...... Okay. Well then, don't hold it against me.

　Richter stood up and said, "You interrupted me.

　Then he left the room.

　After the sound of the closed door, the room returns to silence.

　As Corona set down the mop, Futa asked her, "Are you sure you didn't use the recording technique?

"Are you sure you didn't need to use the recording technique?
Hmm, not really. It's not that I don't like it, I just wanted to hear what Moppy really thought. The maids are also curious as to what the princess is up to.
...... Also.

　I'm sure Richter wouldn't have said anything if he hadn't been ready with his recording technique.

But I never imagined Corona getting involved in politics.
No way.
What?
It's because you're being used completely! Did you forget that I told you again that I was a little worried about you?
...... That's... Thank you.

　But still," Corona muttered.

You'll be able to forgive me if I declare that I'm not going to play the game.

　This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.
　I'll talk to Lilac about it later, though.

　When he decided to do so, he suddenly remembered something that had bothered him about his conversation with Richter.


"By the way, isn't the princess's occupation 'nobility'?"
"Didn't you know that?

　Corona tilted her head once and then said.


The princess's occupation is that of a cunning hero, as the old saying goes.
"Yeah. Is that a real profession?



Yes. --A scoundrel.
