"I think this is the way it's supposed to be, after all."

　I added some words on the blackboard.

　The old library is rarely used. Jill and I often discuss things there.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even when I wrote about how to bring the Laval country under our control, there was no one there at all. ...... Well, that was during class.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I like this library better than the new one.

"But with this many people, a surprise attack would have brought this place down in an instant."

"This is a game, so it's more fun to hurt them slowly and painfully."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We often play a game of strategy. We always try to find the right setting. It's fun.

"Here's what I would do."

　A large, beautiful hand suddenly reached out to me while saying this, and at the same time, a hand was placed on my head and a light weight was placed on me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This voice and this hand is ...... Duke. How did he know where I was?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I ignore the fact that Duke is writing something on the blackboard and glare at him lightly.

"Could you please get out of my way?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You look so cute when you're mad."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke said with a smirk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... You're making fun of me, I assure you.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know I am, but my heart is beating loudly. I hate myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I let out a small sigh and open my mouth.

"I don't understand your character at all, Duke."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm just saying what I think, like Alicia told me to."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Oh, yes, you did. But you definitely did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke asked back with a blank look on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"My heart almost exploded when Duke-sama said that or ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I almost said this and then regretted it with all my heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This makes it sound as if I am conscious of you, Duke.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it's no mistake, but it's so embarrassing to put it into words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Duke-sama's eyes widened for a moment, but soon returned to their usual nasty expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, my heart is about to explode.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's that look on your face?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said this with a light glare. I felt my face heat up a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know why I have a weakness for this Duke's mean face that seems to see right through me, I guess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's better than acting on what you think!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke muttered quietly in a slightly serious tone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......I think I'm acting enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Duke, this is where I wrote it down earlier,...... but it won't be enough to knock the enemy's head off."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said suddenly, still looking at the blackboard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She had been thinking about what Mr. Duke had written earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked at the blackboard too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Surely this means that the commander of this unit can escape.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No captain would run away without leaving his men behind."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke said in a serious tone and then raised the corners of his mouth as if he were the devil. I felt a chill on my face. He looks like he's having a good time.

"It's better to destroy them in a way that benefits us, instead of letting them fall all at once, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, indeed. Leave the head and let them follow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That sounds like the kind of thinking you don't like, Liz."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Besides~ if his own men were to be wiped out in front of him, I'm sure the captain would go mental."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Suddenly a sweet smell and a high-pitched voice came from somewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... really do show up out of the blue.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why is Mel here?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, there~, don't look so bad~."　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill frowned as she said this, and Mel pointed a sweet-looking pink candy in her hand in Jill's direction.

"Gouging the captain's psyche is just what Ari Ari said about slowly and painfully!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel said happily with a twinkle in her eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill's face was slightly drawn. She still says such a terrible thing with a pretty face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And you've been listening to our conversation all this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I think gouging the captain's psyche is a little different from what I meant by slowly and painfully: .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think Alicia meant physically gouging him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said this as if she could read my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, why don't you break the captain's spirit and beat him up?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel said as she licked her candy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a wonder that such a strong character didn't show up in the game. Is it the management's fault?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's certainly a good idea."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said in a serious tone as she touched her chin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't believe you would think such a terrible thing just for fun, Liz would faint if she heard you say it. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My allies ...... are really black-hearted and calculating people. And yet, in the end, the saintly Liz wins. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, now let's think about what happens if the captain runs away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But Duke just told me that's not going to happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You have to make a number of plans for every possible eventuality.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, we should have several plans.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke smiled at my words and said so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is fun!　This play!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel said excitedly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We were absorbed in our discussion in the old library until Henri came to call us.
