'Then let's start the meeting.

There were three people there, Satsuki, Mee, and Cyril.
Satsuki was the one who spoke up.

It was after the Elves had finished their large migration and had taken a break.
The elves had settled down in a corner of the forest, and were now gathering around several bonfires.

Satsuki and the others were a little further away from the circle of elves.
The girls face each other in a circle, keeping each other in check.

William was nowhere to be seen.
He had flown off on a reconnaissance mission and had not returned, hence the gathering of the girls.

Satsuki continued with the second part of her statement.

'So, um, how did this happen?

What Satsuki is asking is why there was a need to have such a meeting.
In turn, why did the three of them end up in conflict?

In other words, this "meeting" was a way to moderate the girls' battle for William.
And Me and Cyril were aware of this.

'I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It's just that Mee and Cyril were somehow gripped by that naive man. That naturalness is pretty bad. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get rid of it. ...... But I didn't expect Cyril to be hit as well.

The small beastman girl then looked at the priestess with a fierce look in her eyes.
At that, Cyril averted his gaze, looking embarrassed.

'Well, to be honest, I didn't expect to feel this way myself. But somehow, someway ......, or maybe not somehow. I have an idea. But if you ask me, I was blown away by Mee's confession. I thought you were cooler and more clever than that.

'We both are. I thought that Cyril and William had grown closer over time, but I didn't think that Cyril would say that he liked me.

''Because you can't help it. If Satsuki and Mee declare it, I'll be the only one left out if I don't say anything. I don't want that.

'So that thing with Cyril, was it because of Mee?

'Yes. If Mee hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have said anything.

'So you just didn't tell me, but you liked him inside?

'............ Well, that is.'

'Then I'm with you.'

Mee and Cyril, their discussion was settled.
It was a victory for Mee.
But that doesn't mean that they have won or lost in their s*xual affairs, so what does it matter?

'But, isn't Mee's thing too much?

It was Satsuki who interrupted the conversation.

'You listened quietly when I asked you about it in my room, but you said it right there. Were you trying to take me by surprise?'

For Satsuki, it was a complaint with a tone that had really taken root.
She was shocked because she trusted Mee.

However, Mee did not seem to have endured it.

'What does it matter if I tell you in advance? Besides, love is war. It's ridiculous to think it's fair. Mee is a thief, after all. Surprise is her motto. She's an idiot for not being stealthy about it. ...... But the enemy is too strong. I'm not sure I can break the stronghold of Mee alone. You'll need to fight together.

'The enemy ...... is that. William says he's in love with adventure.

Satsuki asked, and Mee nodded her head seriously.
And Cyril agreed with her.

'That's true. And it makes a lot more sense than you think, doesn't it? You can't have adventures and be lovers at the same time. That's why we're having a falling out like this. Although it's not that one that's particularly fatal.

'Oh, you mean we don't get along?

'Mee and Satsuki just had a falling out.

'No, I was able to forgive you when I heard what you said earlier.

'...... Why is that? Satsuki is really stupid and good-natured.'

'Is that a compliment? Are you putting me down?

'It's a compliment. And I'm putting you down a little bit.'

'It's the same as always.

'As usual.

Satsuki and Mee stared at each other.
Whichever of them came first, they burst out laughing together.

Seeing them, Cyril smiles kindly, but soon returns to the subject as if he had remembered.

But I agree with what Mee is saying about fighting together. If you ask William, "Which is more important, me or the adventure? I'm sure he'd say 'adventure. You can't fight him alone. It would be the same if Satsuki or Mee asked you instead of me. I mean, Satsuki actually heard it, right?

At Cyril's words, Satsuki nodded with a mysterious expression.

'Oh. I thought I was going to cry right then and there. Seriously.

'How could you not cry?

'I felt like an idiot. Besides, I thought it wouldn't be fair if I cried there.

'As usual, I don't know where Satsuki's pride lies. ...... Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about fighting together. Do you think we can break that stronghold if the three of us seduce her?

Cyril said, looking over at Satsuki and Mi, who both had difficult looks on their faces.
The enemy is powerful.
Even if the three of us work together, there's no way we can defeat it.
That was the expression on their faces.

Cyril was impressed by their sensibility.
Cyril admired their sensibility, for she herself had almost the same perception.

At the same time, however, Cyril could see that the odds were somewhat in his favor.



'But I don't think that means I'm not interested in the opposite s*x at all. I can see a few flaws. If we exploit them, we might be able to break through that ironclad defense. ......'

'Is that so? It doesn't look like that to me.'

'I agree with Mee. It doesn't matter how much you attack it, it won't falter.

'You think so, don't you? But something like this happened to me. ......'

Cyril then told them what had happened in the tavern on the day he had fought Count Goldart's court magician Alice.
The way William looked at him when he said that he understood what it felt like to be a man addicted to women.

It was a sharing of information.
I could see Cyril's determination to use any means necessary to deal with his powerful enemy.

And when Mee heard about it, she showed a shocked expression.

'...... I didn't expect Cyril to be one step ahead of me.

'I'm sorry I didn't expect that. I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable lately, but is Mee's mocking attitude towards William really just an act?

'......? What do you mean by acting?

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

What Cyril thought when he saw this was that he didn't know if it was an act or not, but even if it was an act, there was no point in asking since he wasn't going to reveal it.
If Mee was so fierce that she didn't show her true nature even in girl talk, it would be impossible for me, who was not familiar with her experience and subtleties, to find out.

While Cyril was thinking about this, Satsuki expressed a new opinion.

'But let's talk about the first thing. If Will doesn't want to have a love affair, what about us forcing him into it? I said I wouldn't give up, but... I said I wouldn't give up, but I'm thinking that it's okay to stay as we are for now, not in the future. What do you think about that?

'For Satsuki, you've hit on the essential point. ......'

'That's true. I'm afraid if the current relationship falls apart. I think Mi might be the same as William in that regard.

The three of them pondered.
As Cyril had said, it was an essential problem.

Then, Cyril suddenly thought of something and asked Satsuki.

'What about you, Satsuki? What do you want to do if you become lovers with William? It doesn't seem like you want to connect physically.

'Hey ......, Cyril, can you be a little more subtle about it? Hmmm, what do you want, what do you want...... Well, I didn't think that deeply about it. If I had to guess, I'd say holding hands? Kissing? I don't know.

'Is it still physical contact?

'Ugh, ......, don't talk like that. I'm imagining something else.

'What other things?

'...... Hey Cyril, are you playing with me?

'Oh, that's too bad. Satsuki's expression changes all the time, isn't she cute?

'What about you, Cyril?

'Well, as I said before, I only moved because I didn't want to be the only one who was left out. What about you, Mee?''

When Cyril shook his head, the beastman girl stood up with her small body, sniffed and said.

'I'd like to be hugged by William, and then hugged by myself, and then be stroked for about an hour. It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.

'...... Ah, yes. I'm surprised to get such a refreshingly lustful reply.

'Cyril is not like that at all, is he?

Cyril pondered a bit as Mee asked him with dull eyes.
Then, his fantasies progressed at a rapid pace, and he even imagined himself in bed with her, naked and skin to skin, and shook his head.

The beastman girl saw this and looked up at Cyril with a smirk on her face.

'Oh? What did you imagine just now, Cyril? Mee wants to hear it very much.

'...... You're surprisingly mean. It's just a normal imagination. It's just a normal imagination of where a man and a woman end up.

'Is it adult?

'It's adult.'

'Hey, what's up? Why are we talking like this now?

The three of us were all blushing slightly.
It was a fierce battle of self-destruction.
Cyril clears his throat and returns to the topic at hand.

'Well, I think I've figured out where everyone's going. In short, they want physical contact and his love.

'You're talking out of your ass again, .......'

It's okay. If you break it down to that level, you can see some things. For example... no one wants to be monopolized.

'Ah, ......'

'I see.

'Then all we have to do is make him love us all. That's where we'll end up.''

Saying this, Cyril held out his hand to Satsuki and Mi.
The remaining two girls also put their hands in front of theirs.

'Yes, I'll do it!

I'm on fire!

The elves nearby were looking at the three girls with a disturbed look.
