197 Were you there?





 Corona was furious.
 She was determined to get rid of that evil and tyrannical princess.
 Corona doesn't understand politics.
 Corona is a maid in the royal castle.
 She's lived her whole life spouting lies and playing with pimps.

 But she's more sensitive to evil than most. Heck...

"Meido!

 At the same time as the door opened, the pimp who had been training his muscles indoors looked up.
 Despite the sudden visit, he was unfazed and smiled softly.

"Good morning Corona.
I'm going to beat up the princess. Come along, my friend.
What ??????

 But the expression on his face instantly changed to that of an idiot.

"I'm going to beat the princess to a pulp, you go right through her face.
"Oh my God! What's wrong with you?

 The maid's eyes narrowed, and she made a one-two fist and shadow.

"Futa-sama, Futa-sama, don't you know what day it is today?
"What, is it some kind of cultural day I don't know about?

 I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
 He pulled himself up from his push-ups and looked at her in confusion.

 What day is today?
 Even back home, there were special days.
 A day when it was okay to tell a lie.
 Or a day to give sweets to the person you love.
 Or a day to give a gift to someone close.

 But I've never heard of a day to hit someone you care about.

It's New Year's Day!
Because it's ......?
A day to appreciate nature! Let's go kick some ass!

 A maid tries to take your hand and lead you outside.
 It's a very violent day.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait.

 It's Greenery Day. Let's go beat up some lilacs.
 Nothing is connecting. You are desperately trying to figure out if it's because you are stupid.

"What, did Master Lilac burn down the botanical garden?

 In the back of his mind, he saw Lilac smiling broadly as she ordered the court mage to burn down the botanical garden.

I'm not.
"Oh, so you trampled the ...... courtyard?

 In the back of Futa's mind, he shouted, "You weaklings! In his mind's eye, he saw Lilac stomping on the flowers in the courtyard, shouting, "You weaklings!

Nothing?
"Yeah, ......? What is it then? Did you turn over all your food this morning?

 In Futa's mind's eye, he sees Lilac turning over the entire table to the chef and muttering, "It's not good.

"Futa-sama, what do you think the princess is?
What do you think you're doing?

 Even Futa doesn't want to see Lilac like that.

"I give up, I give up. Why is it that it's New Year's Day and I'm supposed to beat up on Lilac-sama?
"Don't you get it? I see.

 Corona shakes her head in disappointment.
 However, if you don't know the answer, you can't help it.
 She nodded and put her hands on her hips and said.

The princess doesn't thank her maid enough!

 .......

What's that? Are maids made from plants?
Maids are natural! You should be grateful to nature.
"Oh yeah, ...... I'm starting to think I should follow you because I'm worried about you.
Well, maid, there's no reason to beat up the princess.
What is it?

 It's a good idea to take a look at the actual information on the web.

 I'm not sure what to do.

 I'm not sure what to make of it.

So why are you doing this?
Lately, I feel like Rilla is taking away my right to be a maid.
Lila? --I'm not sure what to say. ...... But isn't that a bit pitiful for Lilac-san?
That's right.

 It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find any useful information.
 The maid's eyes were fixed on him.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.
"Oh, so you've known each other for a long time?
Very long time ago!


"So it was. ......

 I've been thinking about that fragile girl. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it. I don't know why, but...

"Well, I hope you and Rilla get along.
We're good friends. That's not what I'm talking about, is it?
Hmm. ...... I don't know, but if there's anything I can do, just let me know.
So you want to go get f*cked up?
You're not going.
"No.

 You're not going.
 The maid, her cheeks puffed out, tugged on Futa's sleeve.

Then you'll have to drag the bored Futa-sama out of the house.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

 I smiled loosely and nodded at the slightest hint of grumpiness in her voice. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

 So, if the maid is of natural origin...

I'd like to thank Corona for the new green anniversary, if that's okay with you.
Oh, there is no such day.
Isn't it awful today?











 --Main Street, below the castle.

 Corona and I came to the usual commercial district.
 There are many stores with no doors and walls that have been torn down.
 Unlike the old streets, there is no concept of entertaining customers.
 Instead, there was a sense of ease that only loose socializing can bring.

 As Corona and I walked down the street, we were greeted by the famous duo.
 If you respond to the calls from all over the place, before you know it, the whole main street will know that you've arrived.

 Aside from the fact that Corona herself is a prominent figure, Futa has also become the center of attention since the end of the fighting tournament.

 After exchanging greetings with everyone they meet, they are quickly through the streets.

 And today's destination was just beyond the main street.

"...... Something's wrong, Master Futa.
"Oh, ...... you're just trying to create an atmosphere as a champion?

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
 I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

Oh," "Thank you," "I see," "Nice to meet you.

 These are the only words that Futa utters, making him seem somehow supernatural, a slight change from his old, unconfident, low-key character.

 His relaxed, yet confident words were relatively well received, as if he was talking to Pasta.

 If he had just played the role of an irreverent heel, there would have been a little more opposition, but his natural personality would have come out.

 As a result, when he accepted the fruit that the woman in the store pushed on him, his irreverence and inconsistent kindness were revealed.

 This behavior, which is less than perfect for Pasta, seems to have been easy to accept for those who have known Futa for some time.

 They seemed to think that he was trying his best to be that kind of character, to the point of half-smiling, and this warm atmosphere made Corona laugh.

It's not easy.
"Good luck, Futa-sama.
"You're cheering for nothing." ......
"Well, as long as Futa-sama is having fun, the maids are fine with it.

 I'll be back.
 She laughs as she peels a handful of citrus fruits she was given.
 The way she eats the citrus fruits with her hands makes her look slightly happy.

"......?
"Hmm?

 If you are looking at her smiling face, you will notice that her eyes meet yours and she tilts her head and puts a bunch of citrus fruits to your lips.

"Do you want some?
"Well, thank you.

 A fresh, sweet and sour taste spreads in his mouth.
 The pressure of the bite caused a little bit of the fruit juice to break through the thin skin and linger on her fingers.

 She rolled her eyes and licked her fingertips, then smiled shyly as if she realized something.

"Heh.
"What's wrong?
Futa-sama, you just licked the maid's finger.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

 She spun around slowly as she walked.
 Her skirt spread softly as she danced like a ballad.

"Ding-ding-ding, dong-ding-ding.
I wondered if there was anyone there.

 We arrived at the guard station that guarded the main street.
 Having decided to gather some information here, they walked through the open door that welcomed all visitors and entered the guard station.

 A simple table and some training equipment.
 A simple table and some training equipment. A simplified map of the street was posted on the table, and a guard was sitting there.

"Huh? It's Futa.
"d*mn. You're alive, Bob?
What the hell?

 In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.

 I'm not sure if it's because I'm from the tropics or not, but I'm sure it's because I'm from the tropics.

I thought you were killed by your fellow guards.
No, well, ...... yeah, I thought I was going to die.
Of course you did.
But I had no regrets.


You're a real piece of work, you know that?
No, I had regrets. I wanted to make it to the finals and get my foot in the door of Lord Aylin.
"You really need to pull yourself together.

 Bob shook his head loosely at Futa's disgusted voice.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.
 He was also the one who had obsessed over Arawn's leg and touched Lilac's thigh.

How can this country afford to have a guard like you?
"Not just you, but everyone's been so bitter since the end of the tournament. Haha.
Of course they are.
Let's have some fun, huh?
That's why you're so bitter. You're afraid to say .......
Aren't you jealous?
Do you think I'm the right person to have such shallow desires for?
I'm afraid of your eyes.

 I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it.

I'm not sure what to make of it.
You can be proud of the fact that you are one of the eight best in King's Landing.
"No, no, no. The knights of the general's group haven't entered either. I can't be proud of that.

 No one from the military who was more skilled than Richter or Lilac, though not as good as them, had entered.
 It's not surprising. It would be considered treachery to participate in another faction's festival.

 Besides," said Bob, leaning back.

"I'm not getting promoted or anything. I got a bounty from Her Royal Highness.
"Bounty?
Yeah. Her Highness is the head of the Guard.
Oh, I see.

 One of the guards made it to the finals.
 Instead of being blamed for his misdeeds, he was praised for his efforts, and was almost swept away by the river, but that was beside the point.
 Lilac presented him with a reward and a medal as a just recognition.

 Bob was happy that he had not touched her anger.

So, you didn't come here to see if I'm alive, did you?
No, I didn't. Bob, I have a question for you.

 Yeah. The main reason why Futa and Corona came to the end of the main street - in other words, the front gate of the royal capital.

 That is.

The reason why Futa and Corona came to this place is because they wanted to know if there were any good poets in King's Landing these days, or if there were any places where such people went.

 To break the deadlock on music, I asked.

 When I asked this, Bob rolled his eyes, a little surprised.

Bob rolled his eyes, a little surprised, and then said, "Oh, well, I've got a funny story for you.

 He held up one finger happily.
