Fouta was walking down the hallway to return to her room after her encounter with Lilac.

The carpet is soft to step on, and the starlight is beautiful to plug in through the window.

Seen from the hallway, the ornamental garden has a gentle fragrance of grass and flowers.

I once again thought that I had never noticed anything, even though the castle was so full of wonderful things.

After all, the wedges I've worn on my chest in my life haven't completely come off so far.

A lot happened.

January after I came to King's Landing, my heart was truly saved.

And today, above all,

I was able to accept the feelings I was feeling in Lilac.

Lilac hit me with the emotions I was lying on.

There's nothing to worry about anymore.

That's why I was returning home in a clear mood.

"I'm home."

Open the door as usual.

I'm just glad there's a place to go, but there are people waiting for me when I get home. Happiness.

"... that? Corona?"

The room was quiet.

There is no shaking mop, no rolling fruit in bed, or juggling peanuts.

One by one, Futa blinked at the girl who was always there.

Keep standing in front of the door and look from corner to corner.

"... you're not here? I wonder if he's going out."

I had the feeling that my mood was going to shrivel.

Besides, Futa has no right to restrict her movements.

Wherever she goes, this room is not where Corona sleeps in the first place.

However, it was unexpected that the absence of the girl who had always been indispensable to protect Futa's absence every day.

"... I see. Every day."

I noticed.

Wherever Huta went, she was always there when she came back.

There was no exception.

However, it was shocking because I hadn't thought of her being absent on the happiest night ever.

"... no, I'd rather thank you all the time."

I'm sorry I didn't notice.

The more you feel guilty, the brighter you lose your feelings.

Enter a cold room with no one around and sit on a sofa nearby.

I remember when I was a champion and only the room was splendid.

There's nobody here, nobody shows up, nobody asks for it, a room like that.

Prison to fulfill his mission as a king.

In this January life, Futa remembered people's kindness to the extent she even thought it was now.

So...

"Ruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

When such a voice came across the door, Futa stood up unexpectedly.

Without a knock, the girl comes into the room flat.

And when I look at Huta, I look a little surprised and round my eyes.

"Kyah, fushhhh!

That being said, I put the basket I was holding on to on the side table, and then I started sticking something on the peppered wall.

"... no, it's my room!

The presence of the fouta was completely through-through.

"Er...."

"Papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa"

"... you know, maybe you're angry?

Huta asked her fearfully as she was doing something behind her back.

I don't have any idea what would make me angry.

However, I noticed that I was obviously being ignored.

Huh?

"No, that's what I want to ask you. Um... Welcome back?

The fact that Corona entered the room after Futa was about when she came in the morning and brought food.

And from her side, "Meet Meet Me! But Mei-do! (Perhaps every time!" You're alive? Because she was taking some action, I didn't know what to say from here.

When she was told to come back, she blinked for the first time.

And then I blew it out.

"I don't know. That's Master Huta's dialog!

"... Hmm!? What do you mean!? It's me!?

I may be a little happy to say "welcome back" to Corona if you are a Futa, but the significance of this situation is unclear.

"Funsha san! Why don't you leave before Master Futa gets back?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Even if it was the suspicious person, not the Futa, who was here, the response to the suspicious person was too slow.

"Why am I a fake?"

I'm sure that's the way it is ~

Corona puts her hand on her mouth and smiles.

"Futa won't be back tonight. It's a morning course in the princess's room."

"I won't!!

"The maid's guesswork hits me. Boy."

"I'm currently removing it in a progressive form!

That said, Corona inflates her cheeks.

"Boo."

"Ah, is this a protest?"

Because...

She kept sticking something to the peppered and quadrilateral walls, pointing her lips at the lid as she thought.

What was she doing in the first place?

The basket is decorated in various colors. That's like a substitute for a royal party. I wonder where Pak came from.

If we don't make it a fake, the maid will be a little involved in the sale ticket...

"Selling tickets...?

"You can't go home late than the owner of the room. If you were a real Fouta, you would have made me feel lonely. That's right."

He looked like a bad cry.

But what he was saying was true.

Well, that's true.

"No way. Affirmative."

"But I'm glad I just noticed. Thank you for being here, Corona."

…………

She dyed her cheeks slightly badly.

Still, I tried not to pay attention to my reddish face, and I posted myself in a strange pose.

"Well then, you are the real Fouta!

"Finally!?

"Ha-ha. I can't help it. Enjoy it till morning with the princess. I missed my reading."

As she murmured, she began to rush on the decorations like chains hanging from the table.

"Master Huta, take this."

"Ah, ah. What are you messing with me?"

"Master Huta, prepare for the party."

"By yourself!?

Unexpectedly, I noticed a string that I couldn't hear later.

Mr Huta, I'm glad to see you.

"... my ballroom meeting?

"That's right. It was a tedious party. I thought I'd do this with the princess. Tomorrow? I was going to... what are you coming back for?"

I was struck.

"... will Corona celebrate?

"It's terrible on the picturesque side to just prepare and celebrate by yourself, Futa. Still here, but now you'll have your maid with you for free.

"I see....."

"Great deal! Besides, the main body! Happy?"

Peek-a-boo.

Her eyes naturally narrowed as she stared at her, who seemed to be having fun.

I wonder how happy it is to have someone who takes the trouble to celebrate herself.

"Thank you. I'm really glad."

Heh.

"It's almost impossible to win a battle and be celebrated by someone..."

You may wonder what you did with the celebration that took place today.

But it was also passed on to Futa.

Corona thinks about him and wants to celebrate.

Regardless of the contents, Futa is having fun with Lilac now among her.

I was going to go out of my way to prepare for that time and congratulate Futa after the fun with Lilac.

You can't do that with just a step-in-law.

So this is her pure goodwill. It was another unexpected dialogue that jumped into Futa's ear.

The maid had fun too!

What?

Raise your face and the corona you're decorating.

Two-compartments of tied gold and fluffy skirts shake as if.

I can't see her expression behind my back.

"I've never enjoyed a fight like that before. It's nice to be able to support you without being too nervous.... losing doesn't mean dying."

I see.... did you enjoy it? "

"I enjoyed the rest because Master Huta won. If you lose, throw a teacup! I did."

"Let's not do this. Ceramics are dangerous."

"Tihihi"

Ah, and the emotions in her chest surprised her.

--I 'm glad I won.

I mean, you enjoyed it.

I'm sure Corona doesn't know how much that word stings at Futa.

Because she is not a samurai.

Because I'm not the one who found pleasure in battle.

But that's why. Because I didn't want glamour in the battle, it was pure support for Futa.

You enjoyed it. Give me your sword.

That is definitely the word that will save me when I was Colosseum.

"... thank you."

"So, let's celebrate! I was really going to do it tomorrow. I can't believe Master Futa's going straight home because he's not getting along well."

"Uh, no, if it's inconvenient, I'm not going anywhere tomorrow."

Even the maid wanted to do it sooner

― ―

If you can. And I felt like such a word was caught in between.

"... I see. So, what do you want to do? I don't know how this is going to be a celebration."

"It's good to have fun, whatever. What do you want to do? Can you express your feeling of winning with all your might?

"... that's right."

Think a little.

The feeling of winning, doing it.

I still don't have enough experience to express it.

There was someone who was delighted to win. The only thing that makes me happiest is the truth in the fouta.

That's why it's good if she's happy.

Please come around. I told Corona I could do it, and I can do it. "

Eh

"It's a joke. She'll be so happy to do that."

"Corona, can I have a moment?

"Yes, it's Corona, the maid who cleaned the mess! Have you decided on the head of the festival?

Stick out her fist and nod to her voice as if it were an army voice.

Then I grabbed the luxurious flank with both hands.

Hmm.

"Yoo-hoo!

She was much lighter than I expected when I lifted her up to the ceiling.

"Eh, um, fu, Futa-sama?

"... are you eating properly?

"I thought I'd make you dinner! --What, what, what, this catch!? The maid has dinner!? Like a turkey at a celebration!?

"That's not true. Look, I told you when I won. She said," I'll hold you on both sides. "

"Eh! Hey, Futa, maid, don't be such a kid."

"Oh, you didn't like that? The princess says that's what Corona is happy about."

"That woman!! That woman already!!

If you didn't like it, should I drop it off?

With her eyebrows lowered like that, Corona exhales a small, lovely sigh.

"Hafuu... well, come on."

"Corona?"

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!! What you say is what you do, Master Futa! There's something illuminating that keeps being stared at at at this close range! You can't afford to keep turning and feeling the wind.

"I see! Then don't hesitate."

Wow!

Crawling - no, crawling.

It's such a big spin that only the sound of the wind can really be heard, thanks to Futa's forged strength.

Corona, surprisingly entertained, gradually raised her tension and smiled happily from the bottom of her heart. When she couldn't even reach Futa, she groaned with a small, humorous smile.

"... ma. I don't know. I don't know how long I'll be able to play like this."

Life is fat and short!

With that in mind, she turned to Futa with a full smile, keeping in mind the instantaneous change in expression.

"Ghhh!!

"- All right, I'll do it to the limit!

--Of course, Futa, who was better at fighting than anyone else, couldn't have missed his face.

Quiet, the night is dawning...
