The rooftop garden of the royal palace.

　It was there that Angier was brought in and saw Clarice.

'What do you want?'

Angelica, what are you thinking about Leon's condition?

I need to give it a rest.

I can't. As it is, we'll be fighting for the country next. We don't have any time to rest.

　Once the outer problems are taken care of, the inner problems are next.

'Leon will be a shield for the kingdom. He will give a glare to the forces that oppose him.

Do you think that will work?

　Angel turned over.

　It wasn't likely to end there.

　There would always be idiots, and in some cases, there would be forces that would betray the kingdom and turn to foreign countries.

　If he continued to fight such enemies, Leon's spirit could not be sustained.

I was going to keep my mouth shut, but I'll tell you what to do. It's a good idea to get your mental health back on track.

　Angier jumps at the information.

'--What do you want?　I'll do anything I can to make it happen.

Don't get too cocky, or they'll find out where you're going. --It's that simple.

　Clarice's story astonished Angel, "You're sure that's what you want? Clarice was surprised.

◇

　When I got back to my dormitory, I opened my desk drawer and craned my neck.

'Huh?　It's funny. I was putting it away in here.

What's going on?

'No, I don't have any pills. I can't find them, so you'll have to replenish them.

''I don't like it. In the first place, me and Cleare collected it all.

-Hey, I'm having trouble sleeping without it, so get the hell out of here.

　Luxion usually nagged about the use of medication, but when I was tired, he would quietly prepare the medicine for me.

　However, only today she strongly resisted.

''You should refrain from using the medicine. Once you are treated with a full-fledged medical capsule.''

'The upcoming holidays are fine. I mean, the upcoming holidays are going to be a flurry of activity, too, so why not?

　The coup was pretty much taken care of without a hitch, but the problem is the aftermath.

　Angel and the others are helping me, but I should probably help them too.

　Luxion is looking at me with one red eye.

'What?'

A replacement for the potion has arrived. Master, did you know that sometimes human skin can be very soothing?

I've heard of it.

　I do miss human skin sometimes.

　How happy I'd be if someone spoiled me.

　I'd just say "Mom" to Angel and Livia and hug them - no, I don't.

　I pulled back a little, thinking to myself.

　I'm still tired.

'You're in for a treat tonight!

Hey, how you doing?

　Luxion's voice suddenly grew louder as he opened the door and walked out.

　Entering the room instead were Angel and Livia in their nightclothes.

''Huh?　Would you two like to have a chat together today?

　This has happened before.

　If he couldn't sleep anyway, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a long talk with the two of them.

　Their cheeks were a little red, probably from the bath, but they were both a little red.

　Their hair was also a little damp.

　Angel is looking straight at me.

'Rion, it seems we were not thinking straight.

'What?　What's the problem?　Talk to Luxion and Clairvoyant at once--

　Livia is red to her ears as she closes the door and locks it.

'I've been waiting for you to be ready, Rion-san, but I don't know when that will be. So it was decided by me and Angel.

　--Are you ready?

　What the hell is he talking about?

　Could it be the one about the throne?

'Have you come to convince me to be king?　Then no thanks. I don't want a better position or anything else when it's hard even now. Even now, I really want to get away from it--what?

　They slowly approached me and gently pushed me down on the bed.

'--What?　What?!

　Livia unbuttoned her nightie.

'I've heard a lot of things from Arle. 'Oh, she said men love women's breasts.'

　That depends!

　No, I love it. I love it, though!

　What the hell are you teaching Libya, Cleare?　--Thank you.

　Ange will get me out of my clothes.

"Oh, boy, I would have taken it in at any time.

''--Whi?''

　A strange voice came out.

　Huh?　Could it be that this is finally here?　You're here?

Huh, calm down, both of you!

　But I'm in the know.

　When this kind of development happens, it's bound to get in the way.

　Or Marie, or those five idiots!　The timing of this--

　Ange and Livia were both close to me.

"Don't even think about it.

We'll take care of everything.

　--You're kidding me.

　Oh, you're sure no one's coming?
