"What do you mean?"

"I don't understand what you mean.

"You seem to have misunderstood something.

Reinhardt, Erza, and the ladies-in-waiting in charge of Bina replied in a matter-of-fact manner,

"What are you talking about?

There was one girl who was easy to understand.

"............"

The girl who was looked at warmly by everyone was, of course, the girl in Jin's charge.

"What?

Finally realizing this, I tried to act nonchalant, but it was too late.

"Lila, you ......"

"Ugh,"

It seems that Jin's name is Laila. Laila is lying on her face, her shoulders are shaking. And then..,

"Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh!"

She starts crying.

"Hey, hey, hey, honey."

"I'm sorry!"

As Laila cried out in public, Jin and the others began to feel as if they were at fault.

Elsa, who couldn't bear to look at her, held Laila's shoulder,

"Don't cry. I'm not going to do anything to you.

Laila was still fidgeting, but eventually her crying stopped.

"You're not ...... crying, are you?"

"Oh, yes, it's true."

Reinhardt, with tears and snot on his face, replied with some, or perhaps quite a bit of reticence.

I'm not sure if it's true or not.

"Well, to begin with, the last time we stayed here, we didn't have a maid of honor like you guys."

After Lila calmed down, Reinhardt told her the reason for his theory.

"And it's no exaggeration to say that this time the nobles from all over the country will gather, so one can imagine that security will be tight."

He then glanced at one of his attendants, a sharp-looking lady-in-waiting who appeared to be in her late teens,

"Her movements were too lean for a maid. She was moving too lean for a maid. Those were the movements of a person who had trained in martial arts, probably dagger fighting.

He concluded.

After a few moments of silence, the sound of clapping could be heard. The master of the applause was a glamorous beauty in her twenties, also a maid of honor under Reinhardt.

"You are very good, Mr. Reinhardt. We are indeed from the Royal Secret Maidens of the Royal Court.

I don't know if Jin heard that name and thought, "What's with the nerdism?

I don't know if Jin thought that he was a bit of a nihilist when he heard the name.

"The Royal Secret Maid Corps is, as the name suggests, a covert unit that takes the guise of a lady-in-waiting. I'm Lyanna and that's Kate. That's Mary, the crying one is Lila, and that's Lisa, the Royal Secret Maidens, the second team.

Leanna, a glamorous beauty in her twenties and the leader of the second team of the Royal Secret Maids, whose true identity had been revealed, began to speak.

"Our mission is to maintain security within the royal palace. I'm here to eliminate even the slightest suspicious person and maintain order in the royal palace.

She shakes her head,

"But I'm disqualified if Mr. Reinhardt finds out..."

He stands up.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Yes, I'm leaving now that I've failed the mission.

Leanna answered with a slumped shoulder. But Reinhardt said,

"You're an idiot, you didn't fail completely, did you?"

"Yes?"

Leanna did not understand what Reinhardt was saying and sounded puzzled.

"Your role is still viable even if your identities are revealed, is it not?"

"......"

"Wouldn't it be helpful to have someone who knows the palace well, and you wouldn't have to be reprimanded by your superiors?"

"That's true, but..."

Then it's settled, Reinhardt clapped his hands together,

"I'm not accusing you of watching us. It's your job. We just didn't like the idea of being watched so closely behind our backs."

Jin was impressed by Reinhardt's generosity and at the same time felt a little uncomfortable.

Then someone tugged at Jin's hem. He turned his head to see Erza. In a whisper, Elsa said to Jin, "My brother Rai has always had breasts,

"My brother Rai has always had a soft spot for women with large breasts.

She told Jin in a whisper, "Brother Rai has always had a soft spot for women with large breasts.

Jin is now back in his room. Laila is in front of him.

Somehow she reminds Jin of a young girl he used to know at the orphanage. She had been unexpectedly chosen as a member of the class committee in the second year of junior high school, a role to which she was not accustomed and which wore on her nerves every day.

"Hey, Lila.

"Yes, yes!　What is it, sir?

You're too nervous," Jin said. He was even more nervous that he was not suited for this job. Then..,

"Why do you work for the Royal Secret Maid Corps?

I asked her. Laila looked down and then said

"Do you think that ...... you are not suitable for it?

she asked, looking up at me. A normal man would have felt something in that gesture, but Jin is a hard-core simpleton, a slow learner, and a hopeless romantic.

"Well, I think so."

Laila's shoulders slumped as she answered honestly,

"I know. ...... I wonder why my sister put me in this role. ......"

Erza had nothing to hide and acted the same as usual in front of Kate, the Royal Secret Maid of the Royal Court who accompanied her.

Bathing, eating, dressing. Kate sighs inwardly at Elsa who acts as if she is not there.

Kate sighs inwardly, "I'm not as good as I used to be.

Reinhard keeps a diary silently. As a diplomat, he is required to submit a report upon his return to Japan.

Leanna and Mary are standing next to him, looking as if they are not where they are supposed to be.

They wait for Reinhardt to finish his diary,

"Um, Mr. Reinhardt... ......"

"Yes?　What is it?

"Why did you protect us?"

Reinhardt answers with a smile.

"Well, I'm not sure why. I don't like to be watched. But I also don't like it when a woman like you is scolded.

"What's that?　Are you hitting on me?"

Lianna puts her hand over her mouth, wiggles her hips, and laughs. She is quite coquettish, but Reinhardt is unmoved.

"Well, I've been a diplomat for six years, including my apprenticeship. I've done my fair share of tricks."

"Oh, I hate you."

Lianna straightens her posture again.

"Surveillance is not nice when it is done secretly and secretly, but when it is done openly, it is surprisingly tolerable.

"Oh, you are not answering my question very well, are you?

"So, if we turn you away, someone more skilled will be watching us this time without us knowing, right?　That's what I'm saying I don't like."

Reinhardt smiled a fresh smile.
