"-You mean, you forced your own children on your mother and father?

Yeah. Because you wouldn't know what to do with it. Isn't that a little harsh?

'No, it's not terrible at all. In fact, it was better for the child--my niece.

　The antechamber near the audience room.

　There I had a fateful reunion with my sister from my previous life.

　It's not a happy reunion at all.

　It makes me want to cry that it was my sister who stirred up this world so much.

　But it was good to hear what happened to my parents.

'And then?　Where is your memory cut off?

'Well, um ... my boyfriend attacked me, and I found myself in this world when I realized that this was indeed a bad idea.

　Teehee!　I made a face like that, and when I pointed the gun at him, Marie started to get scared.

''I've done a lot of work too!

Shut up!　The old woman's habit of "Mon!" on the inside. Don't use that!　It gives me goosebumps.

'You said it!　You're the one who's not an old man on the inside!

　Marie glares at me, but that's not the point.

'Anyway, you're going to help Libya,'

...Oh, you know what?　I'm going to die if I don't do this, right?

Yeah. Why don't you take life seriously for the last time?

　Marie began to cry.

'I don't want to do that!　Help me, brother!

　What the hell does this guy think I am, my brother, my brother, my brother...what does he think I am?

　Marie cries. She was really crying.

'And I don't want to. I don't want to fight those monsters. I will never go to war.'

"...What?　Don't be silly, you're going to be a saint and you've got a lot of things wrong with you. Anyway, take responsibility and get on the airship. Other than that, you can support Libya.

　Looking at me with crying eyes, Marie said, "Why are you that woman? You could have helped me! He muttered and ran outside.

'Oh, you idiot!'

　And entering the room at an inopportune moment is Mr. Bernard.

'I'm ready, Viscount. Come to the audience room.

　Mr. Bernard, who is a minister but is moving around short-handed, looked terribly busy.

　Unable to be bothered, I headed for the audience room.

　

◇

　It was Angier and Livia who saw Marie run out of the room.

　Angier stared at Marie.

'That woman, she's going to come up here and run away.

　Libya convinced him that it was dangerous to let the sharp-eyed Angier pursue Marie.

'Angier, please go to the audience room. I'll go and convince Mr. Marie!

Livia I get it.

　Angel has also been called to the audience room, and now she must head over to Leon.

　Livia inwardly.

(Well I shouldn't be the one to interfere, right?)

　With that thought, he ran out.

　I ran down the corridors of the royal palace, chasing after Marie and running to the roof.

　Tears came to my eyes.

　I wiped them away and chased after Marie.

(I'm not worthy of Rion-san. I knew it. (How could I, when Angel is here?)

　And so the place where Marier escaped was the rooftop of the royal palace.

　As Libya caught up with Marier, who had escaped to that place where the garden was maintained on the rooftop, they were breathing uncontrollably with each other.

　Marier glared at Libya.

''I'll give it back to you.''

What?

I'll give it all back to you and you give it to me. What you need is your highnesses. The five of them, and Kyle, and the status of a saint is yours, too!

　Marier leaves Libya, who can't keep up with the story, and appeals to her.

'So give me back. Give it all back to you and it'll be over!

　Livia approached Marier and continued to swing her right hand out with all her strength.

　The strong slap knocked Marier down.

　Marier laughed helplessly and held her cheek.

'Oh, this, my parents slapped me like this too. It hurts so much. 'What?'　Are you mad at me?　Don't worry. I'll give you all your stuff back.

　Livia shouted, tears streaming down her face.

'--Don't be ridiculous!

　Livia begins to cry and sits there.

　Marie was stunned.

'Rion-san is not a thing I wanted to be with you at least while you were at the school. I didn't need anything else.''

　A nobleman and a commoner.

　There was such a huge wall between them. Compared to such a wall, Libya didn't think the wall between Leon and Angel was any less important.

　I want you two to be a good match.

　I want you to be happy.

'Don't ask me to give it back. Mr. Leon is not mine.

　Marie looks down and laughs.

''Well then what?　After all, I didn't just lose everything. It really sucks. And I didn't just lose my second life either.

　Mariette begins to cry, and then she squats down and lets out a sob.

'I knew everything was going to happen. I thought it was going to work out why can't I be happy?'

　Livia didn't know what to say as she looked at a crying Marie, and she didn't know what to say.

　Then.

There you are.

Lady Marie!

　Kyle and Kara ran up to Marie.

　When Marie looked up, they had a really worried look on their faces.

'You guys, why?'

　Kara was crying to Marie, who had a look on her face as to why she was here.

''Wow, I........without Marie-sama, I would really be alone.

　Kyle looked sideways at a crying Kara and looked dumbfounded.

''I have my bad points too. But master was bad about that thing, too, as if it was a stone. Well, that's your son. I don't know about the other five, but I feel sorry for them if they don't stay with me and Kara-san.

　Marie spills out a polo of tears.

'I'm sorry......... I'm sorry. I'm really ... sorry, both of you.''

　Kyle rubbed his eyes with his sleeve, trying not to see that he was crying.

'Come on, let's go. Even if you're a fake, you're still a saint. We should at least dress up.'

　He stood up, supported by Kara and Kyle. They bowed their heads to Livia and then walked back indoors with Marie.

　Livia looked down and smiled.

''You're a liar. You haven't lost everything. You have two people to support you........liar.

　I mumbled, and then I realized with a huff and held my hands over my mouth.

　The black emotion in my chest brings tears to my eyes.

(Even though there's nothing left for me to do.)

◇

　At the entrance to the rooftop, it was Angier who was watching a crying Libya.

　He didn't even look at Marie and the others who passed by, but he couldn't take his eyes off Libya's crying form.

'Livia, you ... you're right. We've been together all along, haven't we?

　The pain in her chest was painful as she watched Livia follow behind Leon at the school.

　She was enjoying being with the three of them, and she didn't want to focus on that.

'I'm sorry. If I hadn't felt this way, I wouldn't have caused you so much pain. ...Forgive me, Livia.

　Angier held his mouth and let the tears flow down his face.

　He wiped the tears away, then stood up and headed down to Libya.

'Libya,'

　Livia, who had been crying, hid her face and made a frightening show of it.

'Angel?　Oh, um, Marie is back safe and sound. I mean, you know, please don't look at her now. A lot of things have happened, so--

　Angel spoke honestly.

'I--I like Leon.

　Tears fall to the ground as Livia closes her mouth and looks down.

'So don't you back off either.

What?

　Angier held out his hand to Livia. He made Livia stand up, holding her hand, and then they faced each other and held each other's hands.

'That's fine with you. Tell Leon exactly how you feel.'

"...I told him once. But Mr. Rion deflated shortly thereafter.

'So long!　........Then I'll make sure you can't escape this time. I'll tell them how I feel, and you can tell them too.

　Angel hugged a crying Livia.

'Are you sure?　Because Angel is a nobleman - and Mr. Rion is also a nobleman.

Fool. There is no difference in status in these things. You suffer because you can't give up that much. So you'll have to tell them.

　It doesn't mean that he should be his real wife or concubine. He wanted to know who he really liked, that's what he wanted to know.

　Angel speaks softly.

'I care for you too. So stop crying.'

　Livia also put her hand on Angel's back.

Yes, sir.

　He muttered emphatically.

◇

　The audience room.

　I moved my gaze and looked for Livia and Angier, but they were nowhere to be found.

　Oh, man. That's a little heartbreaking.

　The group of five people participating in the event seem to be dressed up, but their faces are lacking in spirit. It's easy to see what they're worried about.

　The love affair with a woman is a problem.

　I'm the one who's thinking seriously about love. As the final weapon, a love that can defeat a super-sized monster that not even Luxion can defeat!　Love is awesome!　Love is the ultimate weapon!　...Isn't there love lying around somewhere?

　Take a little look at me in all this distress, the five idiots.

　Lords and knights in line.

　His Majesty raised the edge of his right mouth meaningfully and acted in a good mood.

''There are so few people here, aren't there?

　The nobles and knights who escaped. Even the soldiers cannot gather.

　It's a hopeless situation.

　If I were an ordinary soldier, I would have fled immediately. No, if I was an ordinary person, I might not even be a soldier in the first place.

But those who remain here are the true brave men and women!　The duchy has sneakily invaded the kingdom's territory with monsters in tow. Gentlemen it's time to put your lives on the line!

　The rest of them have their hearts set on it, or have they given up....

''We need to fight as one to stand up to the Principality!　Viscount Baldfalt, forward!

　He walked along the red carpet laid out in the audience chamber, and bowed on his knees before His Majesty.

'In this time of crisis, I appoint you as Commander-in-Chief. Some will underestimate your youth. Others will distrust your lack of experience. But only the Viscount is capable of handling this situation. Viscount Baldfalt, this battle--can you win it?

　It's a theatrical exchange.

　But I don't hate it.

　I wanted to try it at least once.

　I returned with a line I'd heard somewhere.

'If that's what you want.

　The surroundings buzzed.

　The voices you hear are "young man", "he's a mouthful", "hmmm, seventy points", "that sounds like a line I've heard somewhere"... you guys shut up!

　Look!　You're making His Majesty a little angry!　Huh?　Why are you angry?

I see.

　In contrast, Milaine-sama's cheeks were a little red. Happy?　Huh?　What?

　His Majesty declares.

"Viscount Baldfalt is hereby appointed Commander-in-Chief and will wage a decisive battle against the Principality!

　After such an exchange, a nobleman dressed in a luxurious costume - a marquis - objects.

''Wait, your majesty!　Do not trust such an upstart. This guy has been charged with treason!　Do you think you are fooling us by fighting for such a man?

　The Marquis was the one who united the rival factions of the Duke of Redgrave's family.

　Even the nobles who agreed with him expressed their objections.

''That's right. We should negotiate with the Duchy here.''
"Leave it to me. I will make sure that we can successfully negotiate with the Duchy!
It is not right to rely on such a person!

　If you stand up and look at the faces of His Majesty and Milaine-sama, His Majesty closes his eyes but Milaine-sama opens her mouth with a blank expression.

''........Stop your unseemly behavior. The viscount is already not a sinner. You are the ones who fabricated the crimes. Besides, it was Your Majesty's decision to appoint him as Commander-in-Chief. Are you saying you are going to disobey?

　The king has the right to make a lot of decisions. But you have to think about using it every time because of the backlash around you.

　Well, if you want to make me commander-in-chief, this is the only way.

　The Marquis protested with a red face.

''How!　I will not tolerate such language, even from a queen!　We can't fight as one under these circumstances!

　Lady Milene also closed her eyes.

　I slowly stand up and turn around. In an audience room lined with nobles and civilian military officers, I take out a pistol from my pocket and fire at the ceiling.

　The sound of the shot echoed through the audience room.

　Taking that as a signal, it was the guards and - the knights of the duke's family who entered the room.

　If I looked at Vince-san, he gave a small nod.

''Shut your dirty mouth, you trash.

'What the hell?　Guards!　What are you doing? I'll get this guy right away--what?

　The guards are capturing the nobles who resisted earlier.

''You are the ones who will be caught for treason. I did not fabricate anything like you guys. I prepared the evidence.

　As Luxion appeared in the sky above, he projected a three-dimensional image in the center of the audience room. The marquis and the other nobles were there.

''A pity. Very disappointing. I'm kind-hearted, so I was going to forgive you if you were willing to fight as one in this place.''

What are you doing?　Your Majesty!　Stop this man. He's got a gun in your audience chamber!　He's dangerous!　Your Majesty knows that. We can't let this guy go unchecked!

　A three-dimensional image moved, and then a voice echoed in the room.

''Marquis, the Baldfalt fellow has been released. I heard that he was ordered by Milene. Rumor has it that he intends to install him as Commander-in-Chief.''

　The marquis in the three-dimensional image opens his mouth.

''It's shameful to be bullied by that little boy. You can't get away with it. It's a shameful thing that his Majesty is being held back. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's interested in this.

Can I help you?

"Use your highness as a bargaining chip. They'll want it back, don't they? Remember, you mustn't tell His Majesty this is going to happen in secret. And don't let him do whatever he wants to do. The Duchy's trump card was not calculated, but he is just as dangerous, if not more so. When it comes down to it, you will be held accountable for your actions and you will deal with the Duchy.

　...and make His Majesty responsible for it. Well, I suppose it's meant to depose him from the throne and present him to the duchy, or something like that. It's disrespectful enough.

　The Marquis looks at me with a blue face.

''Ugh, a lie!　This is bullshit!　That's the illusion this guy is showing me!

　I smirk as I point the muzzle of my gun at the Marquis.

'There's more to it than this. As a matter of fact, Mr. Hertrude blabbed about his relationship with you guys. You guys, that man betrayed me.

　For Mr. Hertrude, he would enjoy seeing the kingdom in an internal struggle under these circumstances.

　The Marquis in the three-dimensional image made a disgruntled gesture.

"You don't know what you're doing!　You don't know who the hell is in danger?　Saints are a pain in the ass, but I can handle them. But not that one!　How many ships does he have to work with, one guy?　Do you know what it means to be able to win a complete victory over a fleet of dozens of ships with one ship?''

But for now, the Duchy...

"Let them smash the Baltic bitumen and grind it up against each other!　Take your family hostage. By any means necessary!　Listen, don't think of him as a guard dog for the Dukes. His airships don't even need a single man to fly them. As a bonus, he built a factory and refurbished his airships in a matter of months. Do you understand?　He's the one in danger!

But he says he's not that kind of a man.

　The Marquis in the video is furious.

'You can't tell me there won't be a change of heart down the road!　What on earth is the Duke doing too? If we let him alone, that's the end of the kingdom. There's no point in defeating the Principality. He's the only one I'll do whatever it takes to destroy him.

　........So I was as much of a threat to them as Marie. No, apparently the Marquis felt that I was even more of a threat than that.

　Don't let me and Marie be blinded by that kind of thing, and let the dukedom run amok at will.

　If it's a game - a real scenario, could the hero rise to prominence thanks to the darker side of these guys?

　Well, I can't help but think about it.

'Good for you. Thanks to your betrayal, the kingdom is in danger.

　The Marquis shouts at me.

''Well what does it matter?　It's all done for the country. Who do you think has supported this country?　Us. We're the nobility.　What could a little boy like you possibly understand?　You were the sacrifice we needed to make to keep our country together!

　He was very furious and his face was very red.

''I think you have misunderstood something. I approve of you. You have supported the kingdom admirably until now, haven't you? Yeah, you've done well!　Respect!　You're the best!　.... but, you know, if you fail, there's no point.

It's a mistake!

'This moment, this situation right now, is the result of what you guys have been doing. Do you understand?　You've thrown the kingdom into danger. I can take responsibility for that. That proves that you are worthy of it. Well, aren't you pleased?　The people in charge are there to take responsibility. Do you know that?

I'm a marquis!

Yeah, great. It's a fine title. That's why you deserve to take responsibility. Don't worry. I'll clean up your mess. Good. Well, good for someone like me. I'll take care of your mistakes.

　I laughed at him in an agitated manner.

　Your crime is that you tried to kill me. If you hadn't done anything else, I wouldn't be involved in this mess.

''What in the world could you do, kid!　A boy with a big mouth who doesn't know anything about politics--

'Hmmm, don't you see?　You don't seem to understand unless you say it properly, so I'm going to say it - you've lost. Now it's your turn to sacrifice yourselves for your country.

　Punching the blue-faced marquis in the face with my fist and blowing him away, I command the guards.

I'm going to let you off the hook for fighting me. The rest of you will pay for your sins. Take him away.

Ha!

　The traitorous nobles were taken away, and even fewer nobles remained.

　The military officials - the generals are looking at me too.

''Well now, gentlemen who have found out that I've been falsely accused of being held. There are a few things I want to make clear here. First - I hate you guys. I hate this country. The reason?　It's because of your stupidity that I got to work for you guys!　Do your job!

　A look that pierces me.

　However, they will have a point to make. After all, they didn't know that the Principality had such a trump card. They must have thought of it as nothing more than the usual border disputes.

　But that doesn't matter.

　What the hell were these guys doing at the core of the country in the first place?　No, if you think about it, it doesn't help, but it's happened a lot in the country in my previous life.

　There were a number of instances where I wanted to shake my head at how it happened.

　Still, it was better over there.

　Because it didn't turn out to be such a goofy thing...?　Well, that's okay. I'll tell you what, I definitely would have preferred a previous life to live.

Option two. "Secondly, I know you don't trust me. I don't trust you guys. And I understand that you don't trust the way this boy tells you what to do. If you think you can win, come forward. I'll crush their confidence by crushing them. You wouldn't say you can win against a duchy if you can't beat me, would you?

　The knights and soldiers avert their gaze. If this was His Highness Julius the Commander-in-Chief, I would still have been convinced, but it's too unreliable for me, and I can understand that I wouldn't be convinced from my heart.

　If I was told to follow orders by someone younger than me, I'd be thinking in my mind, 'What the hell is this bastard?

' "The third one is very simple. If you obey my orders, you will win. If you don't obey, get the hell out of here. Don't question, don't talk back, the only thing you're allowed to do is follow my orders. How about that, do you understand?

　My voice echoed well through the buzzing audience.

'Fight and die for me. -- and I'll save the country for you.

◇

　After something of a rallying cry, I had my head in my hands.

'This sucks!'

'Is this a little late for that?　I said I'd do it myself. But still, how could you say that much? Almost every word comes back to the Master, you know. The same is true of the Master for disrespecting the Principality. I assume that this situation, if the Master had handled it well, could have been avoided.''

'May. Did I even have to go that far in the first place?

'If you don't like this situation, you should have tried harder.　Master's boomerang art is a godsend.''

　I said I'd do it myself, but I don't have to think twice about it to know that I'm the commander in chief.

　It's like an extreme shortage of personnel.

　I was facing Luxion in a prepared room.

"Evacuation is our top priority. Those who don't want to follow my orders will be assigned the task of evacuating the inhabitants of villages and towns in the path of the duchy. I'll also evacuate people from the royal capital.

''It's going to be even less strength. I'll make the paperwork to arrange it that way.

　The machine, which looked like a printer, was creating order forms one after another. It was making arrangements for the organization of the troops and other arrangements from the materials Luxion had received.

''What's the status of the Principality's army?''

''We're not moving fast enough. There's still some time before we arrive at the royal capital, but when we're ready and ready to fight - one of the superpowers will be able to reach the royal capital.''

　I take the finished document and sign my name.

'You'll have your body working for you, too.

''I don't mind that, but the communication situation is bad. If we're going to be operating across the continent, the master's support will be minimal?''

No problem.

I understand. But the Marquis was very capable, by the way.

What?

　When I'm surprised, Luxion brags about it.

'It's quintessential that you judged me to be a threat to neither Marie nor the Duchy. Also, the Marquis must have had knowledge of the royal ships. That's why he saw the master as a danger.''

　The royal ship - in the game, it appears as the main character's airship, but in the setting, it's a lost item with the power to found the kingdom.

　Knowing that the same airship was a lost item, Luxion, the Marquis may have been wary of the same airship. But he underestimated the dukedom too much.

''If they were competent, they wouldn't have been in this situation.

''The master, with the power that is me, though, has taken a position that he does not agree with in this situation. ''I can't laugh at the Marquis.''

　

◇

　We walked to a hangar built deep underneath the royal palace.

　The airship that was sleeping there had a beautiful white hull.

　Its shape was the same as Luxion's, a streamlined airship. However, this one was more elaborate in design.

　The final mothership of the protagonist is in front of it.

''It's bigger.''
'It's about four hundred meters long. Smaller than Poultner.

You look strong.
"It's not as dependable as Paltner's.

...I like the design.
'Isn't this a luxury cruise ship that ignores productivity and maintenance?　'Nothing compares to the functional beauty of Partner.'

　Thank goodness he didn't try to destroy it at all costs, as he did with that black, stinging right arm. But Paltner would repeatedly boast that he was more awesome.

　I turned around and looked at the faces in this place. Other than the mechanics who had been managing the royal ship in the hangar, the other masks were in line--.

　To His Majesty, who seemed disgruntled, Milaine-sama was dumbfounded by such a Majesty.

　The group of five people followed silently, and it was Marie who looked awkward.

　Then there's also Libya and Angier.

　Libya was brought here by me, and Angier is here as a member of the royal family.

'A messenger who brags about his ship quite a bit.

　His Majesty's thorny words made me break out in a cold sweat.

''This guy, he doesn't like to lose. Eh, um, anyway!　Shall we go inside? This guy might be able to fix it.

I can't.

What?

　His Majesty pointed to a device in front of the airship.

　An object with a sheet hanging over it. When the sheet was removed at His Majesty's command, it was replaced by a heart-shaped pedestal.

'When two people who are truly in love with each other stand there, the royal ship recognizes them as owners and exerts its power. Without an owner, the door will not open, and no one will be able to enter.

　...I don't think there was ever a setting like this in the game.

　He should have reacted to the man who came to find the royal ship and made love to the hero.

　His Majesty seemed to be very emotional about something.

''The royal family, Horfert, and the Marmoria family, albeit a branch family. Furthermore, the Field family, the Arkwright family, the Seberg family... it must be fate that the descendants of those who once partied together are all here...''

　I think I've heard something about it. It seems that the royal family of Horfert and the other five family members had a party before the founding of the kingdom. So, these five people, or rather - the blood relatives of the five families are qualified to run the royal family's ships or something.......

　There was another female adventurer whose name was unknown.

　That was Libya's ancestor, or so the story goes.

　As I recall, I think Libya's ancestor was the first saint.

　I wasn't interested, so I thought, "Yes, fate, fate, good for you," and skipped all the game descriptions.

'The royal family and the rest of the four families are admitted to the royal ship. And only the last of the lost fellow clans qualify.

　Your Majesty is so proud of me.

　What the hell is this guy?　What do you got against me?　You just beat up your son and seduced your wife.

　Oh, no. It's no wonder you hate me. If someone else hears you, you sound like a disgusting piece of garbage.

　Luxion got an earful.

''If we break down the door, it will be easy to get inside, right?　Should I read the air?'

　The last thing we need is love.

　If we have a device to confirm that love, we need to make sure it's there now.

　Luxion reads the air and we approach the pedestal.

　That's what you get when you get to the pedestal.

　........The heart-shaped pedestal, or rather the stage, is strangely devoid of mystery.

　Mirrene-sama looks back at us.

''You're ready, right?　This is not an easy device, sir.

　Lady Milene is strangely nervous and Her Majesty is suddenly silent.

''First, we will show you how to use it ourselves. Is that alright, Your Majesty?''

Hmmm. It's got to work this time!

　Her Majesty was frightened by Lady Milene's suspicious gaze.

　When they got on the heart-shaped stage, there was a line in the center. As the two men stood across the line, the heart-shaped stage began to glow.

　The place where the man was is blue.

　The place where the woman is is red - pink?　Well, it glowed like that.

　A voice comes out of nowhere.

'Male--25 points!　Women--fifty-eight points!　Shame!'

　....What?

　As they all looked at each other with cringing looks, Lady Milene was smacking Her Majesty with a pop. 'Hey, you're kinda cute.

''Liar!　Twenty-five points, what?　That's no longer a stranger or an acquaintance!

　His Majesty is making excuses, but the sight of him is very pathetic.

'Ugh, May!　You're only fifty-eight points ahead of me!　I know you don't love me either!　Yeah, that's right. I can't see you as a woman anymore!　That's what's wrong with you!

　When I saw them both arguing, I kind of understood.

'Did you quantify your affection?'

　Luxion nodded.

'It's a device that's almost like a joke goods. I just accessed the royal family's ship to check it out, and it seems to be an airship made by a rich man as a road trip. It was produced long before my main body, and after being used once on the honeymoon, it was sitting in a warehouse.''

　The reason for the construction of the royal ship is too subtle to judge. Huh?　Is that why you're doing this?

　They wouldn't be trusted to tell anyone that it was an ancient civilian ship or anything else.

Incidentally, the couple was divorced after two years.

I don't want to know that information. Better yet, let's just get this over with. I know how to do it. I was thinking that if one of you guys could get on board we might be able to move it...

　Marie and the others are beyond repair, by all accounts.

　We may not be able to move them as it is.

I'm sure that if you move it, it will definitely become a fighting force. It's also armed and definitely more powerful than the airships in this world. Oh, repairs are necessary.''

　A royal ship that has been carefully stored in a hangar, but the contents have not been maintained.

　A car that has not been serviced, if you will.　It's in shambles on the inside, but it's in beautiful condition on the outside.

　Still, it's kind of pathetic that the door is a joke item.

'If you can't help it, we can break the door down and get inside.

Okay, we'll send the work robots over to you. You'll have to wait.

　In the meantime, I figured it would be profitable if someone was recognized.

　The problem is that I don't remember the important part of the setting, like the royal ship amplifying love and all that. Naturally, Marie doesn't know either.

　I was wondering if I was really okay with it--

'....Marie, come on!

'What?　Eh!

　His Highness Julius grabbed Marie's hand and roughly took her over the device. He was forcing his own parents, who were fighting, down.

　If it were me, I'd be shocked to learn that my parents didn't love each other or something.

　I was wondering what he was going to do.

　The device kicks in and quantifies love.

'Men--90 points!　Female ........17 points. Very disappointing.'

　The electronic voice doesn't read the air.

　It's not a high-performance artificial intelligence like Luxion, apparently.

　Marie had a pale face.

　However, His Highness Julius is smiling. ''What's the matter?　Does that mean you're ready for the real world?

"I'll accept this as a consequence. Marie, I'm going to declare it here. I will turn you around one day.

　He declares that he will deceive himself and then turn the woman he knows he does not love forward.

　This is the attitude in spite of the fact that Angier is here.

　As I glanced at Angier, I saw a dumbfounded look on his face.

　--Okay!　If you're not angry, you're fine.

　He leaves Marie in place, and this time Zirk stands on the device.

'Male 89 points. Female.........twelve points. It ended in a sad ending.''

　You need the last word!

　When Marie turned over, Zilk spoke softly to her.

''It's frustrating to lose to Your Highness, but I can't afford to lose either. Marie-san I will definitely turn you around too.''

"...Jilk...

'Retreat, now it's my turn. Marie, this is how I feel!

　This time Greg stood on top of the device.

'Male ninety-one points. Female ... twenty-two points. It's unrequited love, let's give it up.'

　Stop that last comment!

　Greg's shoulders slumped.

'It's tough. It's tough, but it feels good now. Marie, I feel you. I'm not giving up on you.

Gregg ... uh, you know what?

I'm next.

　Greg jumps off the device and Brad goes up confidently.

'Male ninety-eight points!　Female ... nine points. We've crossed paths beautifully.'

　Stop it. I can't watch this anymore.

　My stomach hurts from holding back a smile.

That's the lowest you've ever been.

'I'm sorry. But I am!

But it's a start. I'm going to be the best of Marie from here. You know, Marie, I think we've come to our senses. That's when you threw us out.

　What are you confused about?

　Chris switched places with Brad.

'We certainly can't be relied upon to do this on our own. But we've got - we've got only Marie.

　No, there are plenty of other good women out there. Wake up.

Male--87 points. Female--31 points!　Isn't this woman too cold?'

　Marie was crying.

'Guys, it's different. Listen to me!'

　His Highness Julius took Marie's hand and lowered it from the device.

'I know. It's pathetic, but we weren't able to protect you. No wonder Marie is so disgusted with us. We failed to be there for you when it mattered.

　Apparently, the five of them thought they deserved to be dismayed because they had sent Marie to war.

　What a misunderstanding. I wanted that person's goodness to be demonstrated before I met Marie.

''Don't worry, Marie I won't let you go anymore.

'No!　So just listen to me!

　Everyone was acting like they knew what they were doing, but Marie was desperately trying to make a case for something. Well, she had given up, so it didn't matter if those six people couldn't be used as the final weapon.

　Lady Milene blamed His Majesty.



'You want love in a political marriage!　Then I would have liked to marry someone I liked, too.

'You promised you'd get the numbers up!　Let's travel through the air together on the royal ship!

That's a lie, of course!

'That's just the way it is. Why yes. You act like you're a pleasant actor, even yourself, and take pleasure in it... because you're really just talking!

　This one is beyond repair, isn't it?　I mean, Lady Milene was right. This is certainly not an easy device. It's just a matter of time before the results speak for themselves.

　More sad is the fact that you were dressed so well.

　I've noticed it, though. From the first moment I met him, I thought he was very flimsy. You're not fooling me. I noticed!

　Now, I'm going to deal with the national crisis, but even I can't fix the marital crisis.

　Having given up on the two of them, I turned back to Livia and Angier, who were silent.

'Oh, that. Love is so hard. Well, let's get back to it. We can leave the rest to Luxion and we'll be fine. ........Hey, why are you grabbing my arm?

　They were holding my arms as if they were flowers in their hands.

　Wordlessly, they pull me to the device.

'Wait. Please, wait!　I hate it. I don't want to ride those joke goods!

　I didn't want to, but Livia and Angier tried to force me to get in.

'Rion-san, please get in!'

This is so black and white. You're not going to get away with this, but you can't lie about this!

　I really didn't want to.

　I refuse with all my might.

'No!'　It's funny because I'm in a position to watch these things. I would never want to be part of it myself!　I'm not mentally strong like those guys. I'm sensitive. I can't stand it if there's a bad outcome!

　I was laughing because I would never join them.

　And yet, the two of them would try to put me on it. I said I'd put it in black and white, so they'd both ride on the other side to see if they loved me.

　If the number was high, it would be something embarrassing, and if it was low, I'd feel self-hatred that my love was like this... I don't want to know this stuff!

'You two are crazy to measure love by a number!　This isn't right!

　Luxion looked at me - and looked amused.

''I don't think it's a good idea for a person to say that others are good and you don't like it.''

　This artificial intelligence has betrayed me, its master!

Stop it!　I can't accept a bad outcome if I don't like it!　I can't laugh at people!　I was hoping we'd end up laughing like this!　I wish I could have ended it with everyone laughing!

　I shouted, and His Highness Julius and the others lurched closer to me.

　His Majesty places a hand on my shoulder.

''You alone would be boring without anything, wouldn't you?　I was just getting angry at your smirk. Now get on board!

　As the men pushed me to the front of the device, I bent down and resisted.

　Livia and Angier, who were on the device, each pulled my arm and tried to bring me up to the stage.

'Mr. Rion. This won't take long.

"Get in the car and get it clear!

　Julius and Marie were pushing me along.

"You can ride!

'Wait!　At least let me get my mind out of the gutter!　This is--

　It's wrong. I was about to shout that, when the stage glowed pink and I could hear the fanfare.

　The roaring sound of the airship's engines reverberated through the room.

'One hundred and twenty points for each other!　Congratulations! You are in a relationship bound together by true love!'

　They all let go of me, and suddenly I was released and rolled backwards.

　On the stage were Livia and Angier.

'....Angier.

Livia you.

　The two men, their cheeks reddening on the stage, looked at each other shyly.

'Yes, well, I'm glad,'

I feel the same way.

　While everyone around me is stunned.

'There was certainly no rule that it had to be a man and a woman.......but that was surprising. Oh, what happened to the master?''

　........I honestly expected it.

　I thought the numbers would be higher than Marie and the others.

　And yet, watching the scene of the two of them looking at each other as they realized how they felt.......

''Well I'm a mobster in charge of comedy anyway!　This is the best I can do!

　I feel mixed.

　I didn't know that a very beautiful acquaintance of mine was going through a lily-white development.

　It's sad, but I'm happy because the other person isn't a man... but I'm still sad and I sit there.

　Milaine-sama put her hand on my shoulder.

''Oh, you know what? I don't know what to say but.......don't let it get to you.

　

''This is terrible!''

Mr. Leon!
