--Wangdu security abandonment zone.

The King's Landing Bridge has fallen~, has fallen~, has fallen~.

　No one is foolish enough to try to attack the hooded girl who is enjoying her walk.

　No one knows what kind of person she is, but...
　The master of this abandoned zone has told us not to mess with her.

　We all know that if we do, we will be the ones who perish.



　Is she the daughter of a powerful nobleman? Or maybe she's a good servant.
　Either way, she's still a major backer of Arawn's connection to this abandoned plot.

　The man Aylorn recently scrapped was also a nobleman of some sort if you look closely - no blame was placed on him.

　I guess that's how it is.

The King's Bridge has fallen, it's fallen, it's fallen. The bridge has fallen, princess!

　--Though no one knew it was the princess herself.

It's still a disturbing song.
"It's a nursery rhyme," she said.
"I'm afraid not.

　The golden girl greeted her with a look of dismay.
　The silver girl walks into the abandoned church as if it were a matter of course.
　The person inviting her in had become quite used to it.











"So, what can I do for you today?
Do you know?
"...... Well...

　They were ushered into an outlandishly lavish parlor.
　Lilac kept her eyes shut, knowing that it was made up of stolen goods from the nobility.
　When asked with a clear face, Arawn only shrugged his shoulders.

　There is no reason to make a deal here.
　Lilac said simply.

It's a simple matter. --The second combat tournament. Would you like to team up with me?
So that's what this is about.

　I'm not sure what to say, but I'd like to know what you think.

...... It has a delicate taste, doesn't it?
It's badly brewed. Very bad.

　The girl behind Aylan shouted, "Hee" and became teary-eyed.

"No.

　It's not that I don't like it.

I'm fine with that, but what are you planning?
I don't know what you're up to.
"Unexpected" means unexpected. You're not very educated, are you?
I see. ...... I'm sorry to hear that. It's a shame, because this is your chance to build your credibility.
.................. I really don't know what this is all about.

　Lilac's point was quite simple.
　If you go out with me, you will have the trust of the royal family. He's offering to give it to Arawn.

That's all I'm here for.

　He smiled at Lilac, but Arawn gave him a blank stare.
　It's true that you can borrow Lilac's trust as it is.
　But on the other hand, this is as good as a sign that you are under her umbrella.

　...... To be honest, that's not a disadvantage for Aylan. It is possible to trample such external appeal and flee the country.

　I'm not sure what the purpose of this is any more.

And you can't enter a tournament without a partner, can you?　It'll be fun, two on two.
That was an unnecessary thought.
I didn't think of that.

　I'm not the one who came up with the idea," complained Aylin, the corners of his mouth rising slightly at the unusual twist.
　I'm not the one who thought of it.
　Besides, it's the perfect opportunity to defeat this Futa guy.
　It's not that I'm going to beat him with everything I've got, but it's a good indicator that I can beat him in this way.

"...... Well, that's good.
"Very good.

　I glanced at the lilac in front of me, wondering if that was all we were going to talk about today, but he remained calmly tipping back the bad tea.

　I wondered if she was wasting the taste of the tea leaves, no matter how bad they were, but I was sure she wasn't that poor.

"How can you drink it while complaining?
It's ...... tea.

　It's not that I don't like tea, it's just that I like tea, even if it tastes bad. The first time Futa brewed a cup of tea, it was only because he sipped it while complaining.

Well, it doesn't matter what it is, but ...... what else can I do for you?
It's not that difficult.

　There was a slight change in Lilac's demeanor.
　I'm not sure if it's because I'm not a fan of the idea, but I think it's because I'm not a fan of the idea.

　Interesting. If you make a bad move here, it's not a bad idea to bully the preliminaries of the tournament.
　Even if the tournament is canceled--

"......


"...... Aylin?
It's nothing.

　Suddenly, I felt something wilt inside me.

　I didn't want to think about it.

So, what's the deal?
We're going out together, so we'll need to register.
Yeah, I guess so.

　So," she said, with a look on her face I'd never seen before.

We need a team name.
'.................. Aylan and Lilac would be fine.
Are you serious?　Are you sure you want to do something so fancy as 《Mad Eater》?
"......?　I'm not the one who named it. ......
I'm thinking that Princess Heart or Frozen Lotus would be good candidates.
You didn't think of that before you met me, did you?
Is there a problem?
I'm open.

　Aylin was wondering if Princess Heart was a good idea.
　In response to her reluctance, Lilac looked at her with a slightly annoyed stare.

So, do you have an alternative plan?
Yes, .......

　Aylin's voice was unintentionally squeaky from the sheer recklessness of the situation.
　I had no choice but to come up with my own.

"The Kuro Curse. Chaos Ray. Princess of Blizzard.
"............, cool.

　I don't know.　Aylin thought.

"So...

　But?　Aylin thought.

"I don't think it's a good idea to be too much like you. It's a combination.

　What? ......?　Aylin thought seriously.
　He couldn't say, "It's all you," even if he wanted to.

As for me, I don't pay much attention to it. As long as it's not fatally lame.
"Tacky" is another difficult word. Everyone has a different taste.
I'm learning that the hard way.

　I'm getting a headache.
　I never thought I'd see the day when I'd feel like a sensible person.
　Help me, Eina.

I think it's very nice to be called a princess!

　............ Eina's sense of style, which she dug out of her memory, was also hopeless.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.
...... It's hard when someone gives off a mocking vibe.
Oh, I don't do that because it's too much like singing and dancing spectacle idols.
You've done your analysis, haven't you ......?
"We're aiming for a beautiful and cool line.
You can't be cool when you're talking about something like this. ......

　Help me, Eina.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

　--I'm not sure what to do with it.

The World is Mine or something like that.
No!　............ No, no. I haven't shown myself off that much yet.
You're shaking. But you have good taste.
"I can't think of a less flattering compliment in the world. ......

　Aylin was speechless with dismay.

"Is there anything you can do that would be a little more mature, that would come more easily?
You're asking for a lot of garbage.
I bought your taste. Yes. I'll give you a reward.
I know you're going all out. ...... Well, isn't that nice? I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I'm not sure what to do with it.
Not many people know who I am.
I think the Lord Treasurer might be offended.
It's not a lot, is it?
There's only one of us. ......

　There's only one, ." Aylin's words were unintentionally choppy from being treated so well.

I'm sure you're right. It's a good idea to apply the elements.
It's a good idea to use a heartless queen if you're going to add a heart.


"Oh, I'm more of a harmless queen.
"You're talking in your sleep.

　He snickered.

　Aylin stared at the tea party, thinking for a moment.

　He muttered.




"The Garden. How about the Princess Garden?


Aylin and Lilac entered.
