"I'm sorry, Henri. I'm not feeling well for the rest of the day. I'm sorry to have to postpone it so many times, but I want you to decide later."

Let's deceive ourselves here with proper lies. Henri's eyes then opened wide as if he had been poked at the truth of the shock.

"Hey, why didn't you tell me sooner!? Hurry up and assemble the users of the healing spell of King's Castle, no, all over the Devil's Land, for 24 hours to care for you -"

"There's no need for that. That's a joke."

I said, upset inside. Yeah, I forgot, Henri was extremely worried.

You shouldn't lie too badly. I don't care if I was really ill in the first place, just my spell.

"... Dear Yout"

"What?

"Wow, if you seem dissatisfied with my shape, don't hesitate to say it. Is that a chest? Or is it around your stomach......?

Moisturizing her eyes, Henri says in a weak voice.

"... why do you ask me that?

"Yu, Master Yut felt he wasn't showing much interest in my body..."

I didn't expect you to be perceived that way. Henri then stood up and approached me with a crying face.

"If you seem to have chest problems, I encourage you to bust, and if you are around your stomach, I encourage you to lose more weight than ever!! Or something else you are unhappy with -"

"Calm down, Henri. I want you to listen to the rest for one second."

"Ha! Momo, I'm sorry! I got disturbed...!!"

Henri hurries down and kneels on the floor again.

"There can't be any dissatisfaction with your body. Your appearance and style will compete for second place among the other women I've seen."

This is not a compliment or anything, it is my honest assessment. Henri's expression then became as bright as the sun.

"Thank you for your words...!! But then why doesn't Master Ute ask for my body? I look forward to seeing this Henri now or now when you can devour your flesh...!!"

That makes me a healthy man, too, and I'd be lying if I said I had no feelings about wanting to do something I felt guilty about with Henri.

But now I have a girl I've decided on - Serena. So I was kind of guilty of doing that with someone else before Serena.

…………

Second, Serena's face floated behind my brain. I haven't seen Serena since. Though it's only been about ten days in a few days, I'm kind of struck by the feeling that I haven't seen him in over a year.

I want to see Serena. But even though I had sworn to my heart that I would regain Serena's sisters' soul, I failed. I don't deserve to see Serena right now...

"Dear Yout, what have you done?

Henri's voice brings me back to reality and reminds me that I was in the middle of talking to Henri. Anyway, I can't do that with Henri right now. There's some good excuse.

"Listen carefully, Henri. The rest is the last person to eat what you like in a meal."

"? And when I say...?

"Don't you see? He says he wants to keep the most fun for the last time. If I devour your body now, the pleasure will disappear."

Looks like she understood what I meant by my words, and Henri gave me a supreme look.

"Oh yeah!! Sorry I didn't know you had such an idea!! Then let me try to improve this Henri, her charm as a woman until the time she should come!!"

"Uhm."

I'm interested to see what happens if Henri's charm improves any more, but for now, it was avoided taking Henri's chastity, so let's do it good.

Yes, when I was relieved, I heard knocking on the door of the hall.

"... excuse me"

It was Yuna who came in. Speaking of which, I don't think I've seen your face in the last few days.

"Yuna. What can I do for you?

When I asked her that, Yuna opened her mouth somewhere like she thought.

"I would like to talk to Master Ute... just the two of us if possible..."

"Right. Okay."

I agreed without asking why. [M] It must be an important story to observe from Yuna's voice color.

"No way Yuna, like me, is going to give her body to Master Euto...!?"

Probably not.

Me and Yuna left the hall and headed for the terrace. This terrace may be a little unsuitable to tell a secret story, but since this is where Yuna first revealed herself before, I thought it would be a good idea to listen here.

"So what's the rest of the story?

I ask Yuna after I make sure there's no one around. After a brief silence, Yuna said:

"Dear Yout. Please punish me."

I rounded my eyes to Yuna's unexpected remarks. I wonder why you say that. At least I haven't received any reports that Yuna has done something to punish her. As questions swirl in me, Yuna continues her words.

"Ten days ago in a battle with the Seven Star Angels, I unconsciously stopped that hand when I tried to kill my sister - Micah. Even though I had expressed my determination to fight Micah to Master Euto, I was unable to fight Micah until the end. Thanks to Peta, my life was saved..."

Did that happen between Yuna and the others while I was fighting Seal?

"I've been worried about whether I should tell you about this until yesterday, but I still can't stand to keep something hidden from you, and today I'm finally ready. I'm so sorry."

Is that why you didn't show up here?

"The result is that I was expressing my determination to lie to Master Ute. That is by no means acceptable as a subordination of Master Ute. So please, ask me to punish you severely."

Yuna's eyes are serious. If I told you to leave King's Castle, you'd leave, and if I told you to hurt yourself, you'd hurt yourself, even if it wasn't Henri.

"Certainly falsehood to the rest is not to be allowed for whatever reason. I will punish you more than this."

I reach for Yuna. [M] Yuna closed her eyes softly, not looking frightened, just accepting everything.

"Geez."

I decoupled Yuna's forehead. [M] You have an unexpectedly cute voice.

"The punishment is complete. It would have hurt."

"... Huh? Huh?"

There were a number of questionmarks dancing over Yuna's head. Damn, Yuna is too serious.
