"Is that it, Rita?"

"Good morning. Your husband."

Morning.

When I opened the room door, Rita stood in the hallway.

"Morning, Rita. I could have slept slower."

This inn, or house, is rented out by Lord Ilgafa.

So there's nobody else but me and Rita, Aine and Leticia, Katras and Leggy.

I haven't set a time for a meal, and I should be able to relax...

"Why is Rita standing in a cautious position?

"Well, I'm your husband's slave..."

"Yes?"

"For as long as I've been away, I'd like to serve your husband from now on. Duh, please... what an order. Master......"

"Perhaps this is Rita's loyalty going wild."

"Loyalty runs wild?

"Rita's been away for a while, hasn't she?

Indeed.

We've been acting differently for about fifteen days, Rita and Leticia.

"In the meantime, Rita was always in a state of shortage. And then I met him again, and I think this happened with the recoil of ingesting a lot of ingredients."

"... even if they say so"

I saw Rita sitting next to me.

Rita's not in the front seat, she's in a sitting pose like a puppy. It looks too good for Rita the Beast Man, but I can't calm this one down watching.

The Inn's living room is full of everyone, including me and Rita.

Everyone looks worried about Rita sitting in the wacko pose.

"I kind of get what Eine's saying."

Leticia nodded.

"From what I've heard, they call a state like Rita's" Loyalty Rampage "Over Royalty" "

"Do you know!? Leticia which!"

"It's a rumor among the nobles. They say slaves (which) who take their husbands wholeheartedly will be more likely to happen if their loyalties cannot be dissipated (clearly) for long periods of time. You and your husband will be reunited, and your loyalty will be overflowing and you will be in a state of 'Loyalty Runaway'."

"" "I see!

Eine, Iris and Katras are nodding, as they were convinced.

Why not?

"... I mean, Rita stayed away from me for a while, so she couldn't dissipate too much loyalty. You're saying that the energy without a place to go went wild when you reunited with me, and this is how it went?

"Right."

"I think so."

"Ilis agrees"

"If you're Rita, you can't help it."

... I wonder if I can help it.

I pulled Rita's hand and made her stand.

Then let her sit in a nearby chair.

"... Your husband"

"You know what? Rita, I'm not going anywhere anymore. You don't have to be" Loyalty Runaway "or anything."

"But..."

That.

Rita stuck her forehead to my chest.

The cherry blossom eyes are dull.

This seems to be the hallmark of the 'Loyalty Rampage' state.

"... Nagi and... while I was away from your husband, anxious. Something I want to do for you, full of it. If I actually see him... I don't know which one to start with... I don't know anymore. So your husband wants you to give him instructions..."

"You know, Leticia."

"Yes, Mr. Nagi"

"Rita's" Loyalty Rampage "" Over Royalty "is a so-called state of confusion,"

"I think so."

"That means I can cure it with my cheat skill, Heart Healing Hug, but..."

"That's... you might want to stop"

To my question, Leticia shook her head to the side.

"This is about Rita's loyalty. I don't really recommend eliminating it with skill…"

"Indeed."

"Besides, it's not really harmful."

Leticia laughed.

"Shouldn't Nagi take the time to satisfy Rita's loyalty?

"Hey, as your husband, if you serve Rita until she feels better (...), I think it'll go back to normal."

"So your brother has a duty to serve Rita (...)"

"I wish I could help... all this"

Eine, Iris and Katras, they're tough faces.

Or the obligation to be served is novel...

"... yeah. Okay."

I did Rita's head. [M]

Rita closes her eyes to feel good and waves her tail like a puppy.

"My buddy's mental care is my job, too. I'll make sure Rita feels better today."

"... ho, really?

"True. You can do what Rita wants."

"Nagi... your husband... thank you"

Rita rubbed her cheek against my hand.

I'm sure you worried a lot about being away from me.

Rita has the strongest physical abilities in the party, but she's a little unstable mentally.

I'll take care of it.

"What do we do? Want to hang out in the house? Or go outside?

"I want to serve you. I want to go outside."

"Really?

"Nagi... Your husband came to Metecal to 'create a report', didn't he? I need to help you with that."

"Okay. Bye, Eine. Can you get me a hood and a cape?

"I'm ready."

Eine took the white hood and cape out of her luggage.

Metecal has an Iturna church facility, and Rita just fled the Viscount house.

Just in case, let's disguise ourselves.

"Shall we go then? Rita... what are you doing?

"... replenishing your husband's smell"

Rita shrugs her nose and squeals her face closer to my neck muscle.

From around the clavicle, shoulders. Then you move to your ear... and your breathing is kind of ticklish. I mean, in this position, my arm is still hitting Rita's chest...

"... Manzuku"

Rita nodded, Hmm, away from me.

I wonder if you're really okay. Rita.

... If I have to, I will cancel the condition anomaly with the Heart Healing Hug.

"Then I'm coming."

"Go, come, come."

Me and Rita waved to everyone and left the inn behind.

We headed to the town cafeteria first.

'Adventurer's Guild' is better suited if you're going to get information efficiently, but this town's guild is deeply involved with nobility. It is possible that the information is distorted or rewritten for convenience.

Then you should hear rumors (rumors) in the cafeteria or tavern.

Rita, the Beast Man, has excellent hearing, so she can gather information while she can.

"Your husband."

"Do you have a story to worry about?

"Guys, I think I'm obsessed with talking about martial arts competitions"

Rita answers under the hood, moving her beast ear.

"When will the martial arts tournament interview begin, or can the general public participate? And it seems that anyone who cooperates in the tournament will have their name engraved on the pillars of the venue of the martial arts tournament."

"What's your name?

"Yeah. He said every ten days he worked unpaid, he doubled the size of the letters."

"... that brings people together..."

"Yeah. Looks like we're not getting together"

Rita shook her head to the side.

"He said the martial arts tournament is stopped. They haven't even had an interview yet."

"The operation?

"Tanaka-Koga's gone, that seems to be the reason. It's rumored... because it is."

"He was a winning candidate for once. And don't force me to salute you."

As we taught him, Tanaka-Koga returned his gear and canceled the contract safely.

I hope you start over as a normal adventurer.

"... by the way, your husband"

"Hmm?"

"Uh, can I?

"Why all of a sudden!?

I can see Rita's cherry blossom eyes.

"Loyalty Rampage" "Over Royalty" status.

Rita, who is in this condition, will not be cured unless she serves me.

I looked around. [M] Guys, I'm crazy about talking, and we don't care.

... Now, okay.

"Well, nice to meet you"

In front of us is a meat and vegetable teriyaki.

From there, I picked the unsourced portion of the vegetables (so the sauce wouldn't drip) as much as possible, and I stabbed the fork and gave it to Rita.

Rita pulls the chair without sound and comes next to me.

I was wondering if this could happen. Our seats are on the wall. This is easier to listen to people, and I can see the whole store. The back entrance is also just around the corner.

If you look further towards the wall, you won't see what we're doing.

Rita slowly approaches my face with a fork in her hand.

Because of the hot air standing in the cooking, fu, fu, fu, he's breathing again and again.

Rita is turning bright red to the neck.

'Loyalty Rampage' state doesn't mean you're not ashamed...

Rita sticks her body, fits, and whispers "ahem."

I open my mouth as I am told.

And then Rita's face approached and...

"... is, yes. Go ahead. Your husband."

Pam.

I swallowed the vegetables Rita gave me.

Only half.

"... Your husband... Nagi"

"Sorry. I broke it on my way to eat"

"This way, I'm sorry. Good. I can't 'ahem'."

Pam.

Rita swallowed half of the vegetables that the fork stabbed.

"─ ─ Huh!?

I turned bright red and held my mouth down.

"Wow, I... ate it. Your husband put his mouth on it... half. I ate your husband!?

"Calm down! I'm not eaten. [M] No, I could eat half of it. Because it's not me!

Rita waved her hands. I'm here.

I'm getting confused, too.

Half my mouth... I've been living with you my whole life, and it's not even a concern now, but what is this?

"How are you? Take it easy. Rita. Yes, take a deep breath"

"Sooo...... ha. Sooo...... ha. Is it done right?

"I can do it. Or you don't have to put my hand on my stomach."

"─ ─ Huh!?

Rita, it's me again.

And then after a while, you and I had tea and...

At last, Rita seems a little calm.

"... sorry. Master...... Nagi"

Rita snapped with a gentle look.

I have a little expression, and it's coming as a...

Looks like The Runaway Loyalty Over Royalty is healing. Good.

"You know what? Nagi. Well, I've been away from Nagi for a while, haven't I?

And then after a while...

Rita sipped tea and started talking little by little.

"In the meantime, I've been thinking. When I see Nagi again, I wonder what we're going to talk about, what we're going to do."

"... Really?

"Yeah. So, but, you know, when I actually reunited with Nagi, what I've been thinking pushed me to 'wow' at the same time, and it looks like I panicked. I'm sorry."

Rita said that and bowed her head to me.

I put Rita's head over the hood.

"Fine. Never mind."

"But... you annoyed me, didn't you?

"I don't care."

"Really?

"Besides... I was thinking about everything I wanted to talk to Rita about when I met her again."

"Please be specific, sir!

"Suddenly a true face!?

"Oh, I think 'Loyalty Rampage' is pushing over. I can't seem to help but listen to your husband. I don't know what to do."

"You don't run wild in the face."

"'Cause while I'm away, I want to know what Nagi was thinking about me and how he was thinking"

"Well, in order"

"Order"

"If Rita says it, I'll say it too."

"... mmm"

"Rita's been in a state of 'loyalty rampage' because of what she's been thinking, hasn't she? Then why don't you tell me one by one?

"Wow, okay."

Rita holds her chest, again, deep breaths.

And then you look at me, and you whisper...

"... I want to hear your thoughts."

"Perception?"

"Previously, you sent me and Leticia where we wore dresses in True Consciousness Sharing Mind Linkage True, right? I want to know what you think, so I thought. Of course, Nagi may not have seen that footage yet, but..."

"As far as I'm concerned, I think the yellow dress I wore the third best suits me. Because Rita's blonde hair matched the color, and her skirt seemed short and moveable."

"─ ─ Huh!?

Me.

The hot air sprayed out of Rita's head...

In front of my eyes, Rita stuck to the table.

"Suddenly it's sloppy to answer instantly"

"No, 'cause it's on the record."

"... Your husband looked at me. He looked at me in my dress... and changed... ugh."

─ ─ Yeah. Saw it. And get dressed...

Rita, because I was dressed looking right in the mirror.

I also heard Leticia talking. You think Rita's underwear is starting to fit? If I met Eine, I'd like to talk to her. If she told me about it, what would she look like?

............... I still remember.

'Cause I didn't think you were sending me that footage.

... you can't help it, can you?

"Well, what I was thinking next..."

"Hold on, hold on, hold on."

Rita's fingers plugged my lips.

"Yes, not now. Now when I hear Nagi talk, wow, me, my heart stops. If my heart doesn't stop, I won't be able to hold my teeth. So...... oh, after I get home!? Right!?"

"Wow, okay."

"And then. I think you should be prepared for one thing, too."

Rita thought about it for a moment and then said that.

"Ready?"

"'Cause I was a little over ten days away from Nagi... and even though it's temporary, you're going to be in' Loyalty Rampage Over Royalty '?

"Yeah. Well, I'm glad you're cured."

"I've been wanting to connect with Nagi for a few days now with True Consciousness Sharing Mind Linkage True. Still in this state, huh?

"... yeah"

"So now Cecil and Raphilia are in the Holy Virgin's cave?

".................. ah"

Speaking of which, I was.

Cecil and Raphilia are now assisting with research at the Virgin's.

Rita, who was only a little over ten days away from me, is going to be in a state of "loyalty rampage."

Longer than that, Cecil and Rafilia (especially Cecil) are….

"... Rita"

"Yes. Your husband"

"If you two go 'Loyalty Rampage', will you cooperate?

"I'll work with you. Sure."

Rita laughed.

"Cecil and Raphilia, make sure they're properly satisfied"

I knew it.

"And anyway. Nagi should think about the other kids and be prepared. Phew."

That's what Rita said and took a seat.

When I calmed down, I became embarrassed, so I went to wash my hands for a bit.

Glad Rita calmed down.

... because I've been thinking a lot while I was away from Rita, too.

Because it's time for my life to settle down - really, a lot of things.

".................. I'm starting to get embarrassed when I remember"

I had tea again. [M]

Then I look around the dining room. Everyone is eating and continuing to talk about martial arts competitions.

Really, I hope there's just a martial arts tournament going on normally.

That way, I usually end up writing reports, too.

Ran from.

I was thinking about that, and then again, someone came into the dining room.

"Welcome -"

"Excuse me. Sir, I'm here to post a circular from Count Gervis, okay?

"Huh."

"Here is the seal of the Earl's House. I'm not suspicious. Participate in a martial arts tournament called Yamazoe-Takashi."

The brunette boy said (...).

Yamazoe-Takashi.

I did have such a name in Rita's and Leticia's investigation.

Those who compete in the main battle of the Martial Arts Games are - by name - probably "visitors".

"Takeshi is a courageous seeker. If you are from the world I know, you will understand what is depicted and make contact. I'm sorry, but for the sake of peace in the world, could you let me stretch this parchment?"

Yamazoe-Takashi, the black-haired swordsman, said so with a round parchment in his hand.
