I'm sorry, I forgot. Where's the maid board at ......?





It's at .......






　--The corridor in the castle.

　When Futa was about to return to her room, she found the back of a familiar maid's uniform crouched in front of her.

　The large ribbon holding the apron at the back was adorable.

"Is that Corona?
"Huh?

　The maid jumped and flipped her body while squatting down.
　The two tassels of gold swaying in the air.

"Ah, Master Futa... I'm not sure what to say.
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
I'm not sure. I was playing with the princess!
That's good to know.

　When I casually crouched down in front of her to make eye contact, she smiled at me. She smiled as usual, a happy smile.

　If she was playing with Lilac, then Futa was happy.
　If the two of them are having a good time, there's no greater happiness than that.

　--I was thinking about it, but then I noticed something in Corona's hand.

"That's what Master Lilac said earlier.
"Yeah. When I asked her to hold it, she said it was broken.
That makes Mr. Lilac sound like a bully.
Maid, did I do something wrong?
No, I don't know, .......
"All I remember is being beaten up in a game.
It's even worse when you hear that someone beat you up in a game and then broke something you gave them.

　I'm not sure what to make of it. The signboard that was split in two is now in Corona's possession.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
　When Corona lets go, one of them rolls to the floor.

...... Alright.

　There was no sadness or loneliness in her lopsided smile.
　I'm sure she's not really that depressed about the whole thing.
　It would be nothing for her to just forget about it and go back to her work as a maid.

　It's just.

　It's just that she's lived her life without loneliness or sadness.

　It's selfish of Futa to want to pick up her emotions that she unconsciously suppressed.

　It's selfish, but...

"Okay, Corona.
Here?
Let's go buy a new one.

　I'm sure she'll be happy to hear that you want to do what you can for the people you love.











　--King's Landing. Main Street.


"Loomp, loomp, loomp!

　Corona was in a very good mood as she walked alongside Futa.
　She sang happily with her hands clasped behind her back as she looked this way and that.

　In Futa's hand was a bag of wood and twine, and the main shopping was already done.

　As expected, the sign was self-made.

"Hey, Corona. Do you want to buy something today?
I'm sorry, I'm not at the castle today.

What?　Huta, why are you walking with Korona?
Nothing, I'm with her at the castle.
I'm jealous of you, you son of a b*tc*.

Well, that's an interesting combination. Why don't you get something to eat?
Meido!　Fouta and Corona. Fucorona.
Huh?　Just me?　Oh, I'll just buy some fruit.

　Looking back, we've become quite familiar with the main street.

　When I first came to King's Landing after losing everything, the world was so bright that I was afraid to even set foot in it. Now I'm living in it as if it were a matter of course.

　When I first arrived, I felt out of place.

I miss .......

　I bought some fruit.

　It was a different store from the one I went to that day, and it was not expensive.
　I bought fruit that day, too, and we walked down Main Street together.

　The fact that we were then targeted by assassins is not a good memory, but it is still a page in my memory that I remember vividly.

　The more I think back on it, the more I remember the time when all I could do was follow Corona's lead.

　The more I think back, the more I've changed.

What do you miss? ...... What do you miss?
I've already had it!

　I saw Corona biting into the apple I was going to buy her.

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


"Huh?　Oh, there was that, too.

　Futa has changed.
　To the point where he can have cheerful conversations with the people who set up stores on the main street.
　It was as if it was a matter of course that the capital was where he belonged.

"Loompappa, unpappa.

　As Corona began to walk ahead, Futa followed behind her.
　Her joyful song is the same as that day.

　Her back is the same.

"No, you're not.
What?

　What?" Her words were spoken casually, without stopping.
　The murmur that reached my ears drifted in the wind, the tone of her voice as usual, unaware of what emotion she was feeling.

It's totally different from that day.

　She looked the same as on that day as she walked leisurely forward with a bitten apple in her hand.
　But it's not the same, I thought, as the two clusters of gold swayed loosely.

"You don't understand, Futa-sama. "You don't understand, Futa-sama. You're not interested in the feelings of a maid, are you? You don't know, do you?
"Corona's state of mind?　Not me?
Futa-sama is one thing, but... You know, maids can be pretty strange too.

　She turned around and her steps were light.
　I'm not sure if her smile is the same as usual, or if it's more flamboyant and dainty.

　I wonder how long it's been since I stopped using the recording technique.
　It may have felt inconvenient at first, but now it's so far away that I miss those days.

　The first thing you need to do is to look at your eyes.

It's a good thing. I'm glad to hear that.
I can't believe it.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　It's a good idea to take a look at your own eyes to see if you can see them.

　She says to Futa, who takes it without difficulty.

"You idiot.
"What, why are you cursing me?

　Just like when I came here today, she goes ahead with her hands behind her back.

　That's right, Futa doesn't know what he's talking about.

　It's true that Corona has changed since she found a reason to live, as he said. Of course she doesn't deny that Futa is happy about that.

　But that's not enough.

　Futa doesn't understand anything.

　That day, today, and a very simple search for mistakes.




I'm too nervous to hold hands with you.




　The girl's dream has been going on since that day when she found the reason.

　Did you know that the only time I've touched your skin since then is when you touched me?
