"- What's the odds?

"I was wondering if there was enough. Your purchase has been completed"

"Hmm...... but the problem is the mask of the brave and their squire. Especially if you're a mask."

"Yes, I understand so painfully about that. And I said objectively, it will be difficult to contain them with the power of my pawns. So we're going to create a situation where they can't help us."

"Hmm? Is it going to work?

"I'll take care of it, let's see what you want"

"Great. Let's have that word prove it's not just your mouth"

"... wonderful"

I poked one knee, put my hands together, and sincerely prayed for the wonderful sight in front of me.

"After all, the goddess existed..."

"Hey, hey, stop it, Oh-ho. You're embarrassed! Or I showed you a scatter a while ago!

"You don't understand, Nell... this is something you can look at more than once"

To Nell, who is shy and wacky, I say so in a prayerful manner.

The current Nell is in a dress.

She's right, I loved dressing scattered not too long ago in the name of a 'connoisseur', but I still see beautiful things whenever I see them.

That way, the curtain in the dressing room next door opens up in a crisp way, not caring at all about the look on his face that even the maid who was helping him to wear was drinking in a cup of coffee with too much sugar, complimenting him and stuffing Nell.

What showed up was Ilil and En, dressed in dresses, just like Nell.

"Hey, Master Ma, what do you say?

"... Lord, do you look good?

Two people grabbing the hem of the dress and flirting the frill around to show it.

"Oh, you're the cutest, you guys! You look like a princess."

With that said, she was the princess of Gatimon.

Ilil's is only a boulder princess, wearing her own, but En is wearing one of those Ilil's dresses for loan.

This is because, unlike Nell, who is wearing an adult dress with some ready-made products available, he needs to be tailored from scratch because demand is low when it comes to children's dresses, and the tailor clerk told him that he won't be able to make it to the ball tonight (...).

I really wanted to make En's dress as well, but this is all due to time constraints, so I'm borrowing Ilil's dress as a next step.

It's just, whatever you're wearing, it doesn't change my boy being an angel!

"Ilil, thank you, lend me a dress for En. See, En, thank you too."

"...... hmm. Iryl, thanks."

"Eh heh, En is a friend, so naturally!

Nico, and I answer that, Ilil. Hmm, this kid is no less cute than our kid.

"... utterly, elementary school is awesome!

"... because of the hard work?

"What is it, Master Ma?

"Nothing, don't worry about it"

I told Ilil and En to delude me into leaning their necks strangely, gently pounding and stroking their hair sets so I couldn't untie them, and then I turned my face toward Nell.

"- Well, Nell. Remember the step (...)?

"Yeah, I remember it well."

"In the beginning, I can't do it with you. I'm sure you can put a lot of wuss on them."

"It's okay, because I cry my name as a brave man just because you're protecting me. That's about it, I'll make him jump himself."

With the secret eyes of his will, Nell smiled niggardly.

- Here, in the Royal Castle, there are now three forces, even as far as I know.

First of all, we are the kings.

It is moving to protect and protect Nell, who is in a worse position.

The king himself is currently meeting with a few dignitaries before the ball, and he's rooting for us with the old lord who takes care of us all.

The other is the church's radical force.

Even though they're supposed to be on Nell's side, they're plotting to use Nell as a pawn in a political marriage and restore its prestige.

However, we already know the faces and names of the core people, and we're done discerning to what extent they're enemies, so we don't have any more problems with him and the others.

And - last but not least, a military force that is falling into bravery and showing a move that should also be called an anti-king.

A force centered around a man named Jaima-Redrios, the Minister of Military Affairs who heads the army of this country, said he has mainly had military officials on his side and has been making statements from an anti-king standpoint for a long time that he is calm on the surface but warm on the king's way.

It seems that it is also a faction of Koitz and others who are making a fuss to plunge Nell, behind the fact that Minister of Military Affairs Jaima has also met frequently with the stampede that happened in the city along the way a short while ago, Argos-Radrio, who is presumed to be its mastermind.

There will be a lot of things about why we want to drag Nell down from the brave, to put our pawns on the new brave, or to weaken the king's position by taking positions from Nell, who is also supposed to be the pro-king... well, that is, my 'enemy'.

I need to clean up (...) before I do, although I would definitely like to worship and do it because he and the others will be attending the balls that will be held now.

Therefore, we cannot be near Nell for a while after the ball begins.

"If anything happens, I asked for this one. Protect them all. If there really doesn't seem to be anything we can do, we can run back to the dungeon. - I'll keep an eye on this one for a long time, and I'll just put a piece on it so it doesn't happen."

"Mm, okay. I'll take care of it. Take care of yourself."

"Oh, enough. I've always been told not to be alarmed."

That said, clapping her shoulders, then turning her face toward En and bending her knees to parallel her gaze.

"En, you too, please. It's not about me this time, just keep Ilil safe."

"... naturally. Because we're friends."

"Good boy."

I smile slightly at En, who nods cocklessly with the expression he just says is natural, and finally turns his face to Ilil.

"Ilil, maybe there's something wrong with today's ball. So listen carefully to what everyone has to say to protect yourself and keep a good look around. Like?"

"Yes, Master Ma!

After hearing Ilil's energetic reply, I say, "Okay," stretch my knee, and face Nell again.

"Well, we'll meet later. I think there may be a lot of movement... but I need you to be very flexible and be ad hoc."

"Huff, what the hell, it"

That's what I said and laughed at Nell, and I laughed again, and then turned my back on them.

- Well, then, it's time to clean up.
