「Arg-sama?」
「Hm?」
「……..Do you dislike the guest?」
「Maybe a little.」
It’s that advisor from the republic, right? He definitely gives off the vibe of someone with a rotten personality.
While I roll around lazily on the bed, Noie sits beside me and offers her lap as a pillow.
The gentle rustling of her fingers stroking my head soothes my mind.
「When she comes, punch?」
「Sorry. Part of me honestly wants you to, but if you did, I’d end up in an insanely troublesome situation and get scolded like crazy, so please don’t.」
「……..?」
「Don’t do it.」
「Yes.」
She nods firmly and continues stroking my head.
The soft, soothing caresses feel incredibly good.
Now that she has finally returned to her normal size, I rest my head on her thighs and look up at her beautiful face…. only for the two prominent mounds to firmly block my view.
These are the real Noie’s breasts that I hadn’t seen in quite a while.
Stunning. Even through the sheer camisole, their beauty is almost blinding.
「Arg-sama?」
「Yes?」
「Shall we do it?」
「……..Yes.」
As a result, ever since Noie returned we have been doing it every night.

Noie clings to me tightly and it’s adorable.
Only her hair has turned chestnut.
If I think of Noie as suffering from a form of multiple personalities, it doesn’t feel so bad.
Yes, that’s a lie.
The ones inside Noie are undoubtedly all criminals…. saying I aren’t scared would be untrue.
But judging from the hair color, the one clinging to me right now is probably Fashi?
When she appeared under the lamplight earlier and her hair color changed, I was genuinely shocked.
Lately Fashi has been coming out often, waking me up and acting spoiled.
Once, when I pretended to be asleep because I was sleepy, that eerie laugh echoed and I jolted awake.
She has become incredibly attached…. showing the same behavior as a small child wanting to crawl into their parents’ bed, so perhaps she simply wants pure comfort.
Thinking of it that way, I can’t bring myself to brush her off harshly.
But she seems to be sound asleep now…. so it should be okay to sleep, right?
I roll over on the bed with her, ready to drift off, when Noie’s eyes snap open with a soft click.
「Let go.」
「……..Yes.」
The cold tone overwhelms me, and I release my hold.
The blonde girl sits up abruptly and looks down at me with chilled eyes.
「What?」
「Nothing…. I just thought, since we’re technically cousins, the glare might not be quite so icy.」
「Oh, right. So, who told you?」
「The moment I heard your name was ‘Glodia’, it clicked.」
「Naturally.」
She plops down cross-legged on the bed and places one hand on my chest.
「Um～」
「Just like you said.」
「Pardon?」
「This body.」
She presses her free hand to her own chest and directs that same cold gaze at me once more.
「I had no idea that child treasured our memories so dearly.」
「Is that so.」
「……..You already knew?」
「I didn’t become Noie’s husband for nothing, ow ow ow!」
She grinds her palm into my chest. How childish.
「……..Whatever. We won’t be able to appear like this for much longer anyway.」
「Huh?」
「Noie’s seal is starting to reassert itself. We won’t be able to come out so easily anymore.」
「That’s actu… ow ow!」
「Did you say something?」
「Just my honest thoughts, a little.」
She gives my chest a light smack then rises gracefully and steps off the bed.
Even though it should be the same as usual Noie, even though she’s still in that sheer camisole…. somehow she carries an air of refined dignity.
「There’s a place in the castle called the Sealed Archive, right?」
「There is.」
「Find the 『Kandalni Box』 inside it.」
「Pardon?」
「What you want is hidden there.」
「……..」
For some reason she gazes up at the ceiling, then slowly walks over and sits on the sofa.
「A present from onee-san.」
「I hope it’s not a jack-in-the-box.」
「……..」
「Hm?」
I sit up to check on her, only to find she has fallen asleep.
Seriously. Using Noie’s body however you please…. and then just discarding it like that.
I get up, walk to the sofa, and wrap my arms around Noie’s body.
Why do women’s bodies feel so soft and smell so nice?
I lift her up and carry her to the bed. For some reason, she clings to me tightly.
Has someone else come out again?
「Arg-sama?」
It is Noie.
She looks around nervously then peers up into my face.
「What is it?」
「Um….」
I cannot mention Noie’s companions, so I need a clever excuse right now!
「On the sofa.」
「The sofa?」
「I was thinking we could….」
「……..」
Her cheeks flush red, and she gives me a slightly angry look.
She had said she didn’t want to do it while asleep, after all.
「Sorry. Noie was just too cute.」
「……..Yes.」
Standing on her own feet now, she leans in, peers at my face, and kisses me.
I hadn’t intended to go that far…. but after that, I continued to adore her on the sofa.

「It has been a long time, Prince Schnitt.」
「Indeed it has, Marisan.」
「I never imagined the young prime minister would come to greet me in person.」
The mature beauty smiles at him, but he keeps his expression completely unchanged.
Among the ministers who have come out to welcome her together, some struggle to hide their excitement at her appearance.
The republic’s advisor.
The witch whose beauty is renowned throughout the neighboring countries.
(Good thing I didn’t ask Halfren to come.)
Her generous chest would surely suit his younger brother’s tastes. Though perhaps a little lacking?
Without changing his expression in the slightest, he makes that judgment, then engages in light small talk while escorting her to the carriage prepared for the welcome.
「So, Marisan-dono. What brings you here this time?」
「Yes. Actually… it seems a country to the north has been destroyed.」
「……Oh?」
Schnitt lets out an honest hum of surprise.
That report had not yet reached him.
Considering their own nation is a small southern country, it is only natural the news would be delayed.
「However, it has not been fully confirmed yet, but apparently the country was destroyed by both dragons and humans.」
「Dragons and… humans?」
「Yes.」
The witch gives a soft chuckle and gazes at the young prime minister.
「Whether someone is controlling the dragons, or fighting alongside them… either way, isn’t that quite an unpleasant story?」
