"What do you mean, in the princess's plan?

Armed together, Huta twisted her neck.

Is it true that the attack on Corona is part of Lilac's plan?

So, what do you want to do so far?

"The source of the rumor will be the Princess if we keep track of it. Ma, I don't think we can follow."

"Did you point out the assassin?

"Either way, is it possible for Futa to leave the assassin?"

With only a swallowing corona, Futa had a difficult face.

"You have great trust."

"I'm a princess. I don't mind pretending it's for a purpose. Maid, that's what I said at the beginning. Princess, I'm doing everything I can."

"I see....."

Think a little, Futa.

Corona glanced at him.

"Did you hate the princess?

"No, not at all."

"What? I wanted to misread it."

"You did this because you thought I could be trusted, right? Then there's no reason to blame me."

"... heh. Well, are you sure?" If I were you, I could jump away like that, "she said in her face.

Did you hear that?

"I asked you a question. Did you know that Futa-sama was so strong?"

Dear God, Corona shrugged her shoulders.

"Sorry, shut up."

"I can't help it if the princess tells me to.... but... Huta, give me a word first! Are you glad you don't think so?

"No... didn't you tell the princess that you needed it?

"Mayu, but... eh, is it just the maid that doesn't fall into my heart? Take off the orange when you're angry."

"I can't eat anymore, so please stop."

It's hard to stop, and the orange skin is peeling off like a snake's body.

Uta-sama...

Hmm?

"It's fully utilized, but is that okay? Just a little maid, I can't help but try to be a maid."

"Use it....."

Indeed, Futa was told by Lilac, "You don't have to do anything."

And yet, I can't help but think that the assassin was defeated...

However, Lilac did not send the assassin directly, and even if Huta complained, she apologized for the inconvenience.

In the first place, Futa had no intention of complaining like that.

Lilac owes it to me to be alive now and to be with Corona.

She was the first to rejoice in her sword.

I have enough eyes to tell if it's true or not.

It feels like I'm being hit by "likes" every time I go out with you.

Like a body blow, her thoughts work.

That's why I was just told that it was being used.

"Besides, I don't mind if you use it."

Buuuuuu

"... just..."

Yeah, just...

Every time I exchanged my sword, I had an idea to recruit in the lid.

"... compared to me, 28408; I'm sorry. I just think about it."

"What are you doing?

"... the princess must be alone."

The orange peeled corona placed the fruit knife on the table and looked back.

"... why do you think so?

"No, sometime. I know how to fight."

Futa's swordsmanship is "imitation."

Mimic the opponent's "trajectory", not the opponent's sword moves.

I don't know what kind of thoughts you've been training for, but...

What was important and where was the focus of training?

Where are you talented and where have you buried your efforts?

And then...

I know how to train and what kind of battle you are expecting from the menu.

It was the trajectory of the opponent's efforts, which only Huta knew.

"Thinly, feel it. Someone like the princess. I always hone my sword skills with the assumption of fighting alone."

……

"Unlike gladiators, one-on-many fights, surprise raids, and flying tools from blind spots. I train to be able to react to such things. Especially....."

Close your eyes and remember.

"The defense to my back was Dante's, even among the swordsmen I met. It's like I'm always ready for betrayal."

"... is that so?"

"I don't know why. I can't see the past anyway. But I can see the trajectory of the exercise. That's what I thought."

So, even more so.

It didn't seem bad to see her pointing her sword at Futa with pleasure and enjoying purely brushing her sword moves.

"Alone. I see. I see. Well, if you want to stay close, I won't stop you. Win the princess's right arm!

"I don't think I can be my right arm. I wish I could repay the princess for what I asked for."

"Oh, there's a rumor about a knight candidate, and you're not going to be a knight?

"I don't deserve to be a knight, and above all, the princess didn't ask me to. I don't think so."

"Well, I don't think Princess wants you to be a knight either. I cut you smart..."

"That's enough! You won't be able to eat Corona's dinner!

Corona's hand, which had stretched to the fruit basket, stopped.

"Hmm. Want a handmade dish over a fine fruit?

"Why are you bothering to say it again? Yes, but..."

Really? That's right. I'll spare the soft-mouth man and let him cook more rice today!

"Why did you say that to me..."

Corona, who is in a good mood, is about to leave.

The moment I opened the door, I stopped.

There was a man standing before Huta looked at what was going on.

"Ah, Moppy."

"You really are an disrespectful maid, you....!

The noble leader named Richter.

"Can I help you, Mr. Fouta?

"That's right. Out of the way, maid."

"Ha-ha. Lend me one..."

"Why!

Corona danced back behind Huta as she ran away from the yelling.

Pyu, that's a lot of momentum.

"So, Mr. Richter, was it? What can I do for you?

"Can I call you Fouta?

"Yes, rather than being called" unemployed. "

"Hmm... what do you mean" unemployed "? Your fighting spirit is not like being unemployed."

Her eyebrows twitched up.

I wonder if you know how to fight.

At least Lilac didn't know.

That's why a lot of people kept me away because I was hanging around.

I was taught how to keep it down during my daily routine, but I was ignorant enough to say nothing.

Just because people in the same country know that, a question mark comes to mind.

"Do you know the fighting spirit?

"I don't know what to say. It's none of your business what I know or don't know."

"It's relevant.... because the princess didn't know how to fight."

"I heard from the princess. My house is a branch of the royal family. I don't know you, but you're a lot closer."

……

It was impossible for Futa to tell whether the words were true or false.

"Isn't that what the princess is supposed to say? Even though the relationship with Futa-sama is face-to-face, if you talk about it, they'll know what you're doing at the potato potato ceremony."

Eh?

Fouta inadvertently leaked her voice.

In a twinkle, Richter glanced at Corona and smiled at her little nose.

"He's a very talkative maid."

"... so you kept quiet with the princess even though you knew it from the beginning?"

"I never dreamed Her Highness wouldn't know."

Richter shook his head sadly.

It is not a fouta who does not realize that this is an act on a boulder.

Lilac's unconscious fighting spirit has kept many people away.

Futa looks at him while he knows why.

"--You don't think you care about the princess."

"Something extraordinary. It depends on what you think. It's called nobility."

What do you want from me?

"Easy."

Richter told him to show it with his thumb.

"Get out of the way. Just like Her Royal Highness, I'd like you to meet me."
