We sneak back into the venue with just the two of us, Noie and me. The journey back was a comedy of errors. Getting lost on the way, getting lost again after finally arriving, then running into some problem right when we thought we’d made it. Misfortune after misfortune. The curse of the Republic is…

See? I knew it. From my perspective, people from the Republic are nothing but natural enemies. Absolutely. 「You’re teasing a little too much, Marisan-sama.」 「Am I? I am a witch… simply a witch. Do you know the nature of witches?」 「No. Not at all.」 「We act solely to satisfy our own desires.」 The way she…

Marisan had been searching for her prey since morning using only her gaze. According to the reports, Noie von Draguknight was said to obey her husband Argusta’s orders with absolute submission. In other words, 「To shoot the general, first shoot the horse.」 However… the man who appeared at the ceremony venue kept rubbing his sleepy…

「Can I ask your name…?」 「Me? What～… Feeling like flirting already? Ahaha, no way～. I may look like this, but I’m actually pretty chaste, you know.」 「I already have a wife named Noie, so I’m fine.」 「Ahaha. Brushing off such a beauty so easily, you’re a terrible man～.」 She giggles softly and turns her gaze…

「Ah～」 Coming home and practicing dance… it really feels like homework, and it’s been ages since I last did something like this. But isn’t practicing dance alone without a partner just going to look ridiculous from the outside? Well, yeah, but still～. On the bed, Noie sits hugging her knees and staring at me. I…

「I see. It seems the dragons’ forces have grown considerably in the north.」 「Yes. While small ones can still be contained somehow, the medium and large ones… their numbers are increasing, and they are rampaging freely.」 「And what exactly is the Republic plotting?」 「Yes. We are currently considering a joint military operation among the nations…

「Why are you the one stuck on hospitality duty? Logically speaking, I’d be way more suitable, right?」 「If you came just to complain, then get out already. Thanks to this pointless extra job, I’m swamped!」 I suddenly got saddled with being the host, which meant my regular work piled up even more… and as a…

「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…

「What the heck… I’m doing my job properly, you know?」 The Muscle Prince stands silently at the entrance to the office, and it’s seriously annoying. Krea looks completely unmotivated now, but… this is actually her normal state, so stop complaining. 「I already gave my report first thing in the morning, didn’t I?」 「……Yeah. You woke…

I turn off the lamp, and in the bedroom bathed in moonlight, the person sleeping soundly beside me should be the usual Noie. Probably. For a long time, I had found it strange that Noie’s sleeping posture was sometimes so bad. Normally she falls asleep in one position and doesn’t move an inch, yet occasionally…

Noie sleeps soundly, her cheek still faintly damp with tears. I gently pull her closer and stroke her back. I worry that forcing her to talk about the past might give her nightmares. I hadn’t wanted to make her say it. What an utterly tactless idiot aniki I have. I continue to softly caress her…

I thought she had bought way too much, but with the big eater Lutte and Krea, who had engaged in a full-on food fight, the mountain of sweets and cakes disappeared surprisingly cleanly. Whatever remained was taken home by those who wanted some or shared with the maids… and while we were cleaning up the…

The story rewinds about half a day. 「Are you really sure about this?」 「I don’t mind.」 「I’m going to buy the super expensive cakes from Blostash, you know?」 「I don’t mind.」 He props his elbows on the desk like some commander and clasps his hands in front of his face. It is not so much…

「Even though the construction workers are here… Have at least a little awareness as royal knights.」 「「Yes.」」 To prepare for the long holiday starting tomorrow, Frea had come to collect her personal belongings. Mische and Lutte bowed their heads before her. Noie simply watches the scene, swinging her legs back and forth while sitting on…

「Lutte. Wake up.」 「……Good morning～」 「Yes. Good morning.」 She forces her heavy eyelids open and slowly sits up on the bed. The sticky humidity unique to the rainy season makes her undergarments cling to her skin with unpleasant sweat. 「Mom. Where’s my change of clothes?」 「I’ve laid them out for you.」 「Oka～y.」 She gets out…

「Hey, patient! Do you know why you’re the patient here?」 「……Because I’m a boy?」 「Wrong! Because you’re injured!」 Ugh, so annoying. This over-the-top, half-crazed energy is seriously irritating. This morning things got complicated after that, so we ended up running late, but we made it safely to the doctor’s place and finished the examination. As…

「Welcome home, danna-sama. Madam.」 「I’m back.」 「……」 Supporting Noie, who was utterly exhausted, likely more from trauma than seasickness, I stepped down from the carriage. Seeing the familiar maids waiting to greet us filled me with the warm feeling of 「I’m finally home」 and eased my mind. 「How was the dragon hunt?」 「Noie is the…

Thick clouds blanketed the royal capital from morning onward, spreading as though trying to conceal something beneath them. He looked up at the sky, pulled his robe deeper over his head, and headed toward the place where preparations were underway. Only the most trustworthy subordinates, gathered from across the kingdom for this very day, were…

「Is this really okay?」 「If you’re so worried, you could skip the hot spring and go help with the dragon cleanup on the beach instead.」 「……I’m here as Argusta-sama’s escort, so… yeah.」 After lightly washing Noie’s body, Lutte wrapped herself in cloth to cover her nakedness and stepped into the hot spring. Noie, who had…

「Noie.」 「……Yes.」 In a movement that felt almost like teleportation, she appeared right in front of me. I gently took her left hand and led her to one of the small dragons lying crumpled on the sand. I raised my hand over a relatively intact small dragon and used the blessing. As always, I couldn’t…
