"... what is Leticia's idea?

Kate asked me to keep Natalie company.

When I accepted it, Kate looked strange.

She decided not to hide her doubts and to ask me directly.

"Retichea must have been quiet in this detachment. We were one step behind the next queen, weren't we?

"Yes, but I think it's time for me to move."

"... why now? If Leticia spends another two years in the outhouse as a decorative queen, is that all right?

Kate's words are straight.

They don't have to start a conversation, they try to figure out what I think.

The action must be due to her natural straight temper, which runs through the country.

At the same time, it may be because you treat me like a friend, not just a political party.

... I thought it would be okay to talk to Kate about my thoughts.

"Dear Kate, I think I've always been a customer."

"Customers?"

"I was not born in this country. For a limited time, that's why Kate and the others moved around the next Queen's seat, right?

Yeah, yeah.

While nodding, Kate looks complicated.

Because I don't want to be the next queen anymore.

Kate, who decided she didn't have the qualities to be a queen.

I felt the same way about this country as she did, but I was beginning to live in it.

"As a so-called guest of this country, I wanted to spend a relaxing time... I'm just going to change my mind a little bit."

Yeah, just a little bit.

The basic policy of having a good time doesn't have to change.

I want to move for the future of this country.

"Edgar and Gilbert, one way or another. Natalie and Kate, of course.... I've come to this country and made a lot of important things happen.

After leaving the Queen's seat, I still don't know if I'm going to stay in this country... I quit the queen, and it wasn't all over. "

Whether I leave or not,

Edgar and his men's lives will continue in this country.

"May the destination of this country be fruitful and secure. That's what I started to hope for."

I thought of His Majesty Glenn Reed somehow in my brain.

... why?

Your Majesty Glenn Reed has tasted my toast and cream soup.

Slightly loosened eyes from the heat of cooking are vividly remembered.

My chest was noisy, and my chest was pounding and my heart beating.

"Master Reticcia?

You mustn't.

I'm in front of Kate now.

"No, nothing.... since I became queen, I have looked after His Majesty in many ways.

For Your Majesty's sake, I wish I could be of service to this country. "

By using words, I feel like I know what's inside me.

His Majesty Glenn Reed must have shrunk slightly through cooking.

I'm starting to remember things that are familiar to me.

... even if you don't know what you think of me.

I want His Majesty to be healthy for the future of this country.

"I'm a stranger, but that's why I think there's something I can do.

Do people in this country often get in the way of the past and have difficulty in getting to know each other?

At that time, I wish I could help their friends. "

"... that's why you're interested in getting along with me, Natalie?

"Yeah, that's right. There's not much I can do."

I did not intend to shrug the queen's position into politics.

I just do what I can in this out-of-court.

Become a cook, talk to Kate and the others, and have a place to interact.

That's my role.

"I'm going to try my best to help Kate and the others get along.

Could you help Kate, too?

"Of course!... but isn't that strange? Why is Lady Leticia asking for you, even though I'm in a better position?

"Because that's what I want."

Natalie and Kate.

Compatibility is unknown, but they are both kind and responsible.

With respect for each other, there should have been enough chance that it would work.

"... okay. That's why I asked you. Let's get along with Natalie-san!

Kate-sama's cuckoo tail stood pointing towards heaven.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"Let's get along really well, huh...."

While stroking Jenna the wolf, I murmured alone.

Kate's determination to learn about Natalie's personality and deepen her relationship is impressive.

I want to support you... but I also felt a little overpowered.

Bright, clear, emotional Kate.

Natalie is modest, thoughtful, and shy.

The character on the surface is the opposite.

That's why I might be attracted to parts that aren't there for each other to get along with...

"If I spill it, it'll be hard...."

Hmm, I twisted my neck.

Kate is motivated, but Natalie may be overwhelmed by this momentum.

Kate is 18 and Natalie is 16.

A young lady of near age and from a prestigious duke who represents the country together.

Because they are in a similar position, there seems to be something that goes through each other, but on the other hand, it is difficult when it doesn't work.

"That's why I can't force you to get along....."

What do we do now?

I stroked Jenna's hairline and thought.

"Ufufu?

Jenna also tilted her neck.

The eyes are blinking and the amber eyes are adorable.

"Should there be some kind of trigger...?

The trigger, the opportunity to get along.

Play the conversation and get to know each other well....

"... that's right. Then... wow!?"

Peep, pep.

Jenna's warm tongue licked and tickled the back of her hand.

This is Jenna's prompt.

I've been stroking Jenna's back ever since.

I think it's time for you to stroke somewhere else.

"Okay, I'll stroke you now, right?

With her hand next to her torso, Jenna lays on her back.

The eyes that looked up at me were glowing with expectation, "Why not?"

"Ahhhhh!! It's so cute ~"

I'll wash your hair with both hands to meet your expectations.

My dear Jenna loves to be caressed with people's hands.

The slicker brush is also my favorite Jenna, but today she seems to want you to stroke it with your hands.

I'll bury your finger in the fur of your fur and rub it gently on the belly of your finger.

Jenna's stomach began to growl and her throat began to sweeten.

Kuuu ~ ~ nn ~

"How are you, customer? Is it all right to reduce your strength? Is there anything itchy?"

I feel that way.

A hairdresser who massages a customer's scalp?

I'll stroke your fingers carefully to please Jenna.

While massaging with Norinori, a gentle Jenna twists her torso.

It feels pleasant to be rubbed and fluffy.

There is no problem with the large amount of hair on the dress in exchange for the fluff.

After the tea party with Kate, I was dressed in a simple dress.

Decoration is modest and simple enough to look like a queen, but it's also easy to take care of.

It was a dress to play with the wolves.

Guu?

Jenna was twitching her ears.

I noticed that the other wolves around me were staring at one point.

Edgar, gathering the wolves, also noticed.

We are now on the open lawn beside the detached house.

The front of the vestibule and detachment was blindfolded by planted trees.

A black-haired girl appeared from the front yard of the detached house in the direction of the wolves staring.

"Wolf...?

Triangular ears swayed on the girl's hair.
