When I stayed up late.

After a series of disturbances, Kazuya stood in front of the room where Karen was, finishing her explanation and persuasion of the situation to the thousand years old.

The reason, of course, is to apologize.

"Well, get ready, Kazuya."

Kazuya, who drinks herself with a whispering voice, never knocks on the door with his will.

-Concon.

"Karen? Are you still awake? It's me..."

"- Thank you for waiting, Master Nagato."

It opens for a few moments after knocking, and the door opens.

It was Karen's man, Maria Broad, who put her face out of the gap in the open door.

"Please come inside."

A long-lasting beauty with pale hair wrapped in a ponytail, she opens the door and invites Kazuya indoors when she is sure that the visitor is a kazuya.

"Thank you. Oh, everybody go home first."

"" "" "Ha" ""

Kazuya, who broke up in front of the room with the accompanying maids, proceeds inside the room with guidance from Maria.

"This way."

"Calle - that's sober!!

He was passed from the reception room to the separate room and was the one who tried to get Karen's name out of his mouth the most opening, but he accidentally threw up a bad state on the smell of booze filling the room.

The room was filled with a tremendous number of liquor bottles, and empty empty bottles rolled down there at the end of the kerosene.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

As Kazuya was solidified by the unexpected sight, Karen, a red-handed face, like Lu Lai did not turn around and rose to bright red, raised her voice with a hella of joy.

"... you're pretty drunk, Karen"

Karen is lying on the couch dressed like she can throw her limbs out and look straight at her.

Through the thin fabric of the black camisole he was wearing, his striking fabric and red, lit complexion appeared to be hidden.

"I'm drunk!!

……

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It was Kazuya rebutting in her heart to Karen's words, which she could clearly tell were lies.

"Hey, hey hey hey!!

Karen bangs next to herself to summon Kazuya.

"Yes, sir."

Kazuya, who knows he shouldn't go against what the drunk says, stays told by Karen, but sits back on the couch.

"Ha no, hey!!

Confirming that Kazuya had lowered his back next to himself, Karen grabbed the liquor bottle and poured a large glass lined with toctocoo and an amber liquid that seemed to have a high alcohol content, protruding the glass in an upbeat mood in front of Kazuya.

"No, not much booze..."

By pulling the force of surface tension to the limit, Kazuya receives a glass while caring for the contents that are not hard to zero.

But Kazuya, who didn't really like alcohol, hesitated to put his mouth on the glass.

"Huh!? I don't want to whisper!?

"That's not why..."

"Ugh... only Yikes!! Good afternoon to you!!

"Yes!! Let me drink it!!

Kazuya hurries and puts her mouth on the glass to Karen, who is threatening her by shaking an empty bottle that was rolling on her side.

"~ Kitsch!!

The alcohol of the stirred liquor slips into his stomach as he burns the mucous membrane of his throat, boiling guts in his stomach.

Kazuya, visionary of such a sight, was raising his roots with just a bite of booze.

"Shit, give it to me!! Straw Servant!!

Karen takes the glass away from Kazuya, who wrinkles between her brows and is bored by the strength of too much booze, deliberately puts her lips on where Kazuya put her mouth and stirs the booze all at once.

"Oh, so much stirring. Huh!!

Are you going to indulge in indirect kissing, Kazuya raises her voice to Karen, who drinks heavily in one bite, but it was already too late.

"~ ~ Gehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"Don't say that."

Karen spits a liquor-smelling gep, then turns her eyes glued and collapses on Kazuya's lap.

Kazuya shook his neck sideways as he lent his knee to Karen, who was drunk.

"Uriyu - Baga in Cajulya"

"I'm complaining while sleeping..."

"My lord, may I speak with you for a moment?"

As Kazuya stroked Karen's head as she circled on her lap like a cat and leaked her sleep, Maria approached, who until then had refrained from being in a corner of the room.

"Oh, fine. Talk?"

Speaking of which, I haven't really talked to this guy.

So much so that I exchanged some words when I had a conversation with Karen?

With that in mind, Kazuya urged Maria to take a seat.

"Just a little fairy tale before we get down to business"

Maria begins spinning her words with a serious face, having lowered her hips on the couch opposite her after a gratuity.

"- Once upon a time, there was a aristocratic girl who was robbed of her parents by her uncle's plot. In the worst of circumstances, where her parents were murdered and herself targeted for life from within, she returned her uncle with such a rare talent and became the head of a famous family. But the fact that he was targeted for life from within was suspicious of humans because of the hang-up. Sometimes my uncle targeted me for that body again, and I was starting to hate men. And because of that, she gave up hope for a woman's happiness and put herself in charge as a nobleman. But spring finally came to her like that. The opponent is a young man he met while inspecting the city. The way I met her was never romantic with just one day of encounters, but since I met that young man, she has replaced Gallari, making her year-to-year smile more visible to her surroundings. But that happy time never lasted long. All of a sudden, a neighboring power came at us. In the midst of an overwhelming disadvantage, we kept fighting waiting for reinforcements who didn't even know if they were coming, and it was finally when one defensive need was lost. The Prince of the White Horse rushed to the girl. The identity of the Prince of the White Horse, who had come with a weapon he had never seen and risked his life to destroy his enemies, was that young man whose thoughts the girl was causing deep down in her heart. The girl was saved in many ways by a young man who was not obliged, not responsible, just purely to save the girl. And after the twists and turns, the girl and the young man got married and became a couple..."

……

The silence comes to the room when the “fairy tale” ends.

The only thing you can hear is the sound of Karen's breathing that makes her sleep regular.

In that, Kazuya was staring straight into each other with Maria, who flies a sharp gaze that sees through her mind.

"I always want the protagonist of this story to be happy"

……

"If she is to gain happiness, I don't hate any hard work. Pay any consideration. Let's take out all the enemies and make her happy."

……

"And in the unlikely event that she grieves, whether the opponent is a dictator of a great power or someone who can use a hundred million soldiers with one jaw tip, I take the sword and the wand."

Let's not forget about that. Maria, who kept her mouth shut, finally burst into tears and laughed at Kazuya.

This guy... you're like a thousand years old against me.

This deal sucks when you turn it to the enemy.

Well, I'm not going to turn it on the enemy.

Kazuya opens her mouth as she nodded small as she changed her appreciation of Maria to gallant.

"... well. So, what's the point?

"Yes, just a little bit more, so would you mind caring about Master Cullen? Shall I say that my Lord is obedient in strange places, because there is a place that puts the responsibilities he has given first? I thought it would feel more like a nobleman trying to be noble than anyone else."

"Okay. Anything else."

"That's it. Thank you for listening to such a lowlife like me."

"No, that's fine. It made me think a lot about it."

"Really? Now, if you'll excuse me. Please take it easy with Karen."

That's what Maria left the room for.

"... will live the rest of my life without regret."

Kazuya, who was alone with Karen, who lay awake in her sleep, mocked herself and lay down next to Karen, who lowered her from her knees.
