"...... phew ...... phew ......
"Corona ......, are you okay?

　The only sound in the quiet room was Corona's breathing.
　The labored breaths she had just taken seemed to be slowly subsiding.
　Occasionally, she would cough bitterly in her dry throat, but she was clearly calming down.

　Looking at the vial, Futa let out a sigh of relief.
　But we can't be too careful. "There was a strong possibility that the healer had been lying, but there was no denying the truth.

　If there are any side effects, that's the end of it.

"Huta, ......-sama!
Oh, no!　I'm not sure what to say.

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

You've got the right dose.

　Her expression of relief was heartfelt.
　It's true that Corona's condition has calmed down and Futa is slowly taking care of her.
　It's also a relief to know that Rilla has agreed to administer it.

...... "properly"?
......

　The eyes of Huta were sharp.
　What is it that you are saying, as if administering this vial was the right thing to do?

　If that was the case, he should have told us earlier so that Corona wouldn't have to suffer so much.

　Seeing the resentful look in her eyes, Lira narrowed her eyes a little.

　Then she said.

I'm sorry," she said, "I was a little distraught because the third time came sooner than I expected. I'm sorry.
"That's okay. What's going on? Did you know?
...... Yes, I did. I'll say yes.
Then why did you--

　Futa raises his hand as if to stop him.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't tell Futa or Corona about this. I was instructed to do so by Her Royal Highness.
"Lilac-sama's ......?

　Futa narrowed his eyes.
　Lira exhaled one breath.
　It would be foolish to come here and tell lies, but since she had come as Lilah, she had no choice but to do so.

　And more than anything, I don't want to move as Lilac right now.

　That princess is a poor little princess who is still lagging behind in dealing with the terrorist organization.

　Surprisingly, this Lila cloak is now a useful patsy. It's now a convenient camouflage.

　If you look closely, you might be able to see her, but as long as she keeps her face hidden, people won't think that a princess is wandering around the castle dressed as a chambermaid.

I had to keep her in the dark. She must have come for her checkup in the morning today. Then it would have been a bad idea if Corona's condition had improved.
Hey, Lilah, what's that ......
You know what I mean.　--That healer is one of our enemies.
"......!

　"!" blindsided Huta.

But why did Lilah give it to you at ......, and from Lilac?
".......

　You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life.
　It is true that there are enemies around you, so it is difficult to know whom to trust.
　If you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.

　I'm not sure what to make of this.

It's me, Futa.
I'm not sure what to do.　...... I see!　No wonder you're in the mood.
Well, if Corona was going to die, she would have panicked.
"So you're pretending to be Master Lilac now, are you?
...... Well, yes.

　You'll be able to use your tongue to poke the underside of your cheek and reply appropriately.

But, Lilac-sama, ...... you're revealing that now.
"You're so smart, Futa.
What?
That's right. I think it's time for you to go, even though Corona's condition has suddenly changed. If it's only a couple of days before the show, we can manipulate the information.

　Quickly brushing her hair out of her face, she stood in front of Corona.
　She grabbed a small bottle from the side table and lightly uncorked it.

A few more drops.
"Oh, the snack feeling!

　What had I prepared myself for?
　I wondered what I had prepared myself for. Lilac was very appropriate in administering the potion. There was a hint of irritation in her voice.

"...... Lilac, are you alright?


"...... yes?

　She turns and tilts her head.

　Are you okay?　I nodded my head.
　Certainly my state of mind. My current behavior towards Corona. Above all, the way she revealed herself to Futa because it was too complicated to explain.

　I can't deny that it's a bit more complicated than usual. I think he's a bit relieved that there are only allies here, but that's about it.

"So-so ......

　Yes, well, well.

"You're running out of patience.
"Wow.

　He smiled, and Futa couldn't help but let out a squeal.

　You can see that he's really upset.

I already know how the terrorists work, their lifeline, their mastermind. Well, I already know everything. I'm just trying to figure out how to destroy them, but in the meantime, they're still up to no good. It's like the last of the fireworks.
"Badness: ......

　Yes, I nodded.
　The last of the fireworks, she said.
　After all, they're not going to be allowed to attack any more.

"What did the water lily want?
"It's hard to say what she herself wanted, but... Well, their argument is quite simple. "Don't give the wicked an economic base." If the Lord Treasurer gives up soon and stops the show, good. Otherwise, I'll take the Spectacle away from you by force. If the Lord Treasurer won't cut ties and the wicked man won't isolate himself, I'd at least like to neutralize Spectakura.
"You mean?
If we can't nationalize the spectacle, let's just blow it up where the civilians are.
Oh, my God, ......!

　You have no idea how many people worked hard to build that arena.
　How many people do you think have worked hard to build that arena, and how many people are already attached to that place?

　Futa clenched his fists in exasperation, but then he suddenly realized.

I'm sure you're aware of that.
I'm sure you already know that the person who set up the magic to torment Corona is the Water Lily, the Healer. That's good.
Yes. I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.
I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

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

It's not the witch they're after.
"What?

　Then why did they torment her like this?
　Lilac continued to confront Futa, who seemed to be unable to understand.


"Their goal is to nail the best forces in King's Landing and keep them out of the way..."

　In other words...

"Futa. You've been their target from the start.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get rid of it. --In my royal city.　　
"That's true.
Yeah. Well, if they want to, we'll do our best to accommodate them.
In moderation.
"............ You know what?

　Lilac turns around as if annoyed.

　There is a blonde girl sitting on the bed.
　She crossed her arms and nodded her head as if agreeing to something.

"That's tough.
"I'm not feeling any better. Go back to sleep.
No.

　The girl is pushed back onto the bed again, her hair spreading all over the coverlet.

"...... Corona.
Yes, yes, yes. I'll be back. ...... Lie, I'm still a little fuzzy.

　The palm of the hand waved lethargically.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

"I see. I see. Sleep well.
"Boo. You say the same thing as the princess. I mean, what time is it?
It's been two days since you last woke up.
You slept a lot!


Yes, I slept a lot. ......

　She was surprised and blinked her eyes, although her energy was certainly 30% less than usual.

　But she was still smiling, and she was her usual self.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you get through this difficult time.　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

　So, after finishing the instructions in rapid succession .
　Then, looking down at the prone Corona, Lilac hesitated for a moment before saying, " Corona.

"...... Corona.
Yes, yes, I'm Corona, the cleaning maid who couldn't be bothered.
...... I'm sorry. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

　To round up the enemy.
　It's a great cause, but it doesn't change the fact that you've been tormenting them.

　Corona laughed at Lilac.

"Heh, the princess apologized.
"Is it ......?
It's okay. The princess, you see, should not look at only one person. So many things have happened, so many things have happened. The maids know how hard it is.
......
And look.

　He looked at the palm of his hand, which was still warm, and then. She looks up at the man in front of her, who still has a hint of worry in his eyes, and smiles.

She smiles up at the man in front of her, who still looks worried.

　I don't know," she repeats, holding her palm and opening it.



"Somehow, I know that you've been watching me. I'm glad to hear it, maid.
"What?



　Those words.
　She doesn't really know how much those words stung Futa.
　She doesn't know how much it will help her.

　But... She doesn't know how much those words will sting Futa, but she doesn't know how much it will help him.

I'm not sure I'm going to get better. But it's good to know that there is a way to heal.
"Yes, it is. Well, if you run out of vials, you can always hit Beatrix and get a few more.
It's like dust in a blanket. ......

　Lilac was as hard on Pasta as ever.
　But then Huta suddenly realized.
　But then he noticed that she looked like she was thinking about it.
　She's very perceptive in this way.

"...... Lilac-sama?
No, no. I'm sorry to say this, but... I'm sure she doesn't ...... know how I feel about this girl. I thought she'd be happy to see me cloud up.
"Noodles don't do that. It's okay.

　Shaking her head loosely, Corona said.

I think there's a lot going on between you two. The maid doesn't know much either!　There's ...... that, though. It's not just the two of us now.
"......

　There was a time when there were only two people, facing each other and killing each other at will.

　Now that both of them have a comfortable place to be.

　I'm sure you're right," he said, smiling.

In his own way, he was worried about Corona. That's why I believed him.
I see. No, let's leave her out of this for now. I've got other things to do. --Hoota.
Yes, sir.

　Corona's safety is assured.

　There's nothing to tie you down now.


There's a place I want you to go. While you're there, go to the pasta place, call Motosuke and Izuna and come back.
All right.

　There's no reason to delay Corona's complete recovery.
　He nodded, and all he needed was information about his destination.


"So where to?


　Lilac tells Futa as he asks.
　Lilac tells him, brushing her hair away as if it were nothing.


"To Richter's. I don't want to wake up dead.



　Richter's house was set on fire just a few moments ago.
