Good morning.

"...... Good morning.

　When Richt woke up on the sofa, there was a very sleep-deprived Bern.
　Now, he is trying hard to adjust his tail, which was messed up by Aria.

　The important thing is that Aria is still sleeping comfortably, and there is no sign of her waking up for the time being.

Licht-san ......, why did you abandon me yesterday?

"No, no. I didn't mean to, but... I just didn't expect it to be that bad.

　I'm not going to say that I didn't mean to, but I didn't expect it to be that bad." Without stopping to take care of his tail, Bern asks Richt a question without hesitation.
　He didn't look at Richt, and the way he looked at him was simply terrifying.

　I don't know what happened during the night, but Bern must have suffered something that Richt couldn't imagine.

I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep last night, so I might say some strange things.

"Oh, oh. Don't worry about it. ......

　Bern stands up, apparently done with his tail.
　I don't know if he's angry or not, but it's not a good time to talk to him.

　Richt tried to keep the conversation to a minimum, and tried to listen to Bern's mood.

Oh, would you like a coffee?

"A cup of ......, then.

What about the one for the Demon Lord? ......

Aria can't drink coffee, so I don't think she'll need it.

　After the care is over, Bern has calmed down and started to make the morning coffee.
　He took his time, fiddling with a rather large machine, as if he had a particular way of doing things.

...... But I think it's time to wake up the Demon Lord.

"...... Hmm.

　The problem here was who would wake up Aria.
　If you wake her up randomly, there's a good chance you'll tug on Aria's heartstrings.
　On the other hand, even if you wake her up carefully, there is the example of Richt the other day.

　I thought I understood why Bern had buried his hand in making coffee.

"Wake up!

　Fearing an unconscious counterattack, Richt pulled off the comforter wrapped around Aria's body and quickly fled out of range.

　Fortunately.
　Fortunately, Aria didn't go into a rage, but instead shivered and wriggled like a beetle larva.

　I groped for the missing comforter, but could not find it.
　After a few seconds, he finally wakes up with a start.

"......, it's morning.

Good morning.

"...... Good morning.

　He woke up rubbing his eyes.
　Unlike Bern, he was able to get a good night's sleep.
　Feeling good, he jumped off the bed with a start.

He jumped out of bed, feeling good. "Well, is Licht okay?　You collapsed yesterday, didn't you?

"Hmm?　Yes, I remember that. I think it went away after I slept. Maybe yesterday was just a fluke.

I see. That's good.

　Aria looks out the window with satisfaction.
　If she was cured, then there was no need for Aria to worry any more.
　The sun was shining on her, and she was observing human life.

"...... Hey, Richt. Isn't that guy a little unnatural?

"......What?

　What Aria saw was an eerie man staring at the castle from afar.
　It's not possible to make eye contact with him through the glass, but he is definitely staring at this room.

　He was holding binoculars in his hand, so it could not be a coincidence.

　He doesn't look like a tourist, and the fact that he's looking at the Queen's room is also strange.

"......, where are you?　I don't see it.

"Over there. See, she's hiding in the shadows.

............ Sorry. I'm not as good as Aria.

　Even if Aria points, it's impossible for Richt to see the man.
　There is a limit to the distance the human eye can see.

　If he didn't use binoculars like that man, he would never be able to find him.

"Humans are inconvenient.

　Bam - and Aria suddenly opens the window.

"Bingo. He's definitely reacted. Richt, can I ask you to take care of Bern?

"...... What?　No...

d*mn it, he's trying to escape. We don't have much time. What do you say, Richt?

Okay, okay.



You're good.

　Aria checked with the lich.
　She sprouted large wings and jumped out of the window.
