When I returned to the boarding house, feeling heavy after Manon slapped me, I must have looked too dawdling, because Amanda and the others asked me what had happened at the dinner table.
'Mother, I don't need to ask, of course they hated me for trying to get Manon to do something naughty.
'No, no, Meisa, I'm a gentleman and I wouldn't do that.
Tell me what's going on here, then, or you won't be able to enjoy the food you're making with that dreadful look on your face.
'Ugh ... actually ...'
I dodged the pursuit of the Bumpy Sisters, and Manon invited me up to the city walls, but when I came back to leave under the pressure of the too peachy atmosphere, I met Beatrice and she teased me, and Manon got a good laugh when I told her the story about how she left because she was angry.
I couldn't tell them that Beatrice had kissed me, as expected.
'It's no longer a laughing matter. It's awkward to see Manon tomorrow, you know.
'Haha, sorry, I'm sorry, but, Manon, you misunderstood me, didn't you?'
That's right, I only treated Beatrice at your request.
As I said this, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly.
'Kent, what do you mean by "cure"?'
'What? Oh, didn't we talk about being able to use light-attribute magic as well?
'Eww! No! You're so cocky, Kent!
'What? What? What does that mean?
I told Amanda and Meisa about my background, but Meline didn't listen, so it's as if she doesn't see the story.
So I told them again that I was summoned from another world and that I can use magic.
''Donovan-san only told me it was a job from Klaus-san, but did you really heal Beatrice?''
Huh, well, you know, just in case.
Amanda seems to be surprised because I didn't tell her that she could also use light-attribute healing magic.
'But wait, if you're Beatrice, of course you've been treated by a healer, right? Why is Kent treating you?
Well, Meline-san's question is natural, isn't it?
It's not like the lord's daughter can't even receive satisfactory treatment, so if you think about it in a normal way, there shouldn't be any chance for me to take a chance.
''Let's see.......it seems that the healers have spoonfed me and I'm betting on the last possibility......?
Ehhh...
Healer seems to be a job title that requires experience, and I don't think a kid like me can whip it up, do you?
And I don't think a healer would be able to get out of a situation that would cause a healer to give up, do you?
'So, what was it, Beatrice, that made you sick?
It was putrid.
Ehhh!
Wow, all three of you are surprised to see me standing up.
Come to think of it, the rot doesn't usually go away.
Is it really true, Kent?
'Yes, I don't have to lie anymore... oh, but I guess I shouldn't be too obvious... but I'm just going to keep this story between us...'
'Mom, I think this Kent is an imposter........'
'How stupid is this girl... or so I've been told...'
'No, no, Amanda, don't hesitate to deny it there.
Ugh, I wonder, it's uncomfortable to be looked at as Zito by the three of us.
'I see........Kent's not only kind, but he's also a can-do kid, so Manon-chan.......'
Nuh-uh, despite my appearance, I'm pretty good at what I do, Meisa.
'Kiwi........you're Kent, you're cocky, you're cocky, but you're rejected by Manon!
''Gahhhh........that's right.......''
Ha-ha, well, I guess we'll just have to see each other tomorrow and talk about it, but go ahead and eat it now, it's not going to last forever.
It's depressing to think about tomorrow, but there's nothing I can do about it now, so I'm going to focus on eating.
That's already a yakuza, yakuza.
Tonight's menu is kolch beans and chicken soup.
Each kolch bean is about five centimeters long and can be stored for a long time when dried.
The dried kolch beans are simmered in a chicken broth, and the beans themselves are very hearty, so the broth alone is enough to fill you up.
The beans themselves are so hearty that you can't really taste them. It's like you're swallowing the whole thing.
Not at all, you should taste and eat properly...
What's going on? Did you get something weird in there?
'Right! Yes, just don't let them taste it!
An idea just popped into my head.
'Huh? What are you talking about, she doesn't like the taste of me that much?
'No, it's not, I found the answer to something I've been thinking about for a long time, thank you, Amanda.
'Huh I don't know what it is, but it's good to know that your troubles are over.
After we finish dinner, I think we should quickly make a plan and put it into action tonight.
'Mom, you look bad Kent....'
Kent, you're not going to do something to little Beatrice to get back at me, are you?
No, no, it's the evil princess of Riesenburg who gets even.
What are you gonna do to get back at the princess?
Oh well when I say get back at you, I'm not going to hurt you or take your life just to harass you.
Isn't that true?
Yes, of course, don't worry.
Well, I hope you're right but don't take any chances.
Yes, I know.
After dinner, I returned to my room and asked Fred and Basten, who had been out scouting, to return as well.
'We're going to fight back against Camilla tonight!
"So, you've finally decided to hoard them.
"No, no, I'm not going to hold you back, I'm just going to give you a little bit of a psychological dip.
"What kind of plan...? I want to know...
"Tell me, Mr. Kent.
'Simply put, I'm going to pose a sleeping potion to Camilla and harass her while she's asleep.
"Would you like me to pull you naked and hang you from the roof?
'No, no, Reinhardt, I wouldn't do anything so radical.
But how do we get them to take the pills?
"We'll stick it directly in your stomach.
The bitterness of the medicine was a major obstacle to using sleeping pills.
But if you think about it, you can walk into any place where there is a shadow, right?
Just like the last time I massaged the heart of a child in cardiac arrest at the Rastock's office, I could throw the medicine into the stomach.
This would put him to sleep without giving him a bitter taste.
"I see. You've thought about it.
I know, right?
"Camilla drinks a nightly nightcap when she has the chance to...
"Yeah, we'll set it up then.
After a brief meeting, we moved to the Rustock garrison.
Since today is the day of rest, the knights will be given a day off, so there is no training for their classmates.
When I peeked into the room to see if I could take care of the committee chairman before executing revenge on Camilla, I found the HENAKO Brave Man had come.
Shelia is behind the limp-wristed hero and Erna is behind the chairman.
''I don't understand how Asakawa-san feels, but since we have this bracelet, we have no choice but to obey.''
''With Takayama-kun being able to use such amazing magic, why can't you plead for better treatment?''
'No, it's not that I haven't said anything either, I've called for better treatment many times, but when someone tells you that the people who can't do it deserve to be treated badly...'
Seven people have already died, Mr. Kokubun, Mr. Funayama, Mr. Nitta, Mr. Furuta, Mr. Furuta, Mr. Yagi, Mr. Kobayashi, Mr. Sakurai, they wouldn't have died if they had stayed in Japan.
That's ... well, it's true, but I'm doing the best I can, too.
You're certainly doing what you can, you're doing what you can, and you're making a porno out of Shelia when she's offered you the freedom to do so.
Go away! And while you're at it, go bald, erotic hero.
''I........I'll be accompanying you in the next actual battle.......''
What........what are you talking about, if something happened to Asakawa-san, everyone would be treated even worse.
Still, if I go, even the Knights of Riesenburg will try to fight me for real.
'Maybe so, but...'
What about Takayama-kun?
What, me? I'm....
'You're not going to fight in a real war? Can't you protect everyone?
Yeah, well, I want to protect you guys as much as you do but I can't force you to go if you don't want to.
I don't know what it is, but you're not going, you nerdy little b*tc*!
''Hey, Reinhardt, with Takayama's magic, do you think you can kill at least one orc?''
''Well, I'm sure that the brave man's fire magic will take him out.
'You're going to be an asset in the field, right?
Yes, but that's only if you can do what you're trained to do.
'Then you'll have to be in the field, even more so.
It's all very true.
However, Takayama, the limp-wristed brave man, has been trying to give some kind of reason to keep the chairman from taking the pledge to go into battle.
''Anyway, for everyone's sake, I'd like you to cooperate with Riesenburg a bit more, Asakawa-san.
'I can't do that, if you want me to cooperate, you're going to have to change the way you're treated.
Hmm you're stubborn too but anyway, I've given you some advice.
Even if I say advice, it's just to keep a track of the fact that I gave you advice, and not because I was thinking of the committee chairman.
Taking Ciria with him, the navel-gazing brave went back, and the chairman of the committee let out a deep sigh as he watched it go.
With that, I'd be tempted to say which side I'm on, wouldn't I?
The chairperson told Erna to prepare for the bath.
''Kent-sama, what will you do?''
"What? What do you want to do...?
Would you like to observe the bathing process?
"No, no, no, no, that's not necessary... hey.
I wonder what Reinhardt is going to say, if he doesn't want to see it, of course he does, but hey.
"Dear Mr. Kent the perk of the job...
'Yes, Master Kent is working so hard. No perks will go unpunished.
'No, no, no, no, Fred and Basten, I don't know what you're talking about...'
The three of them are all very athletic and suggest me to peek at them.
It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
"I think you should listen to the conversation in the bath...
"That caretaker had a rather stern look on his face, you know...
Indeed, during the conversation with the navel-gazing hero, Erna wrinkled her brows the whole time.
Hey, this, I have to listen to the conversation while bathing, right?
Yeah, it's just to find out how the conversation is going, because I have no choice.
Naturally, when we move to the changing room, the chairman takes off his clothes without hesitation.
After taking off everything they were wearing, they confronted each other in the hot tub.
A sense of urgency drifts between the two as they shed the armor of their clothes and engage in a cutthroat battle, and the air seems to become charged with a chattering charge.
''Holy Lady, are you serious?''
I'll be sure to accompany you to your next real battle.
It's too dangerous. Please reconsider.
No.....
Well, there's no way that the chairman of the committee, who thinks that actual battle equals rescue, would think twice about it.
The other side, Erna, on the other hand, thinks that actual battle equals death, so she should reconsider.
But that doesn't mean he can't confide in Erna about the rescue mission, and it's kind of a frustrating relationship.
After that, the chairman washes his body and hair with Erna's help, and after the chairman soaks in the hot tub again, Erna washes her own body, but both of them remain silent.
Normally their eyes would be drawn to various places, but the tense air applied to them and they couldn't take their eyes off of their expressions.
In the end, both of them remained silent and bath time was over.
Huh........for me, the stimulation was too strong.
After this, when Erna goes to report to Camilla, I'm going to take care of the chairperson, but I wonder if I can get a decent look at her face.
Back in the living room, Erna spoke to the committee chair as she prepared a cold drink.
'Would you really reconsider?'
I hate it...
Erna let out a small sigh at the committee chair's lackadaisical reply.
After drinking half of her drink, the chairperson went to her bedroom.
Erna put away her glass of drink and went into her room to look through the peephole at the chairperson.
To her surprise, there is not one, but several peepholes in the room, which are difficult to see from the chairman's side.
Elna seems to peek in from the hardest place to find first, then she checks the position of the chairperson and chooses the easiest place to look through.
The chairperson enters the bedroom, puts on her gown, and seems to be writing something at her desk.
From our position, we can't see the text, but it's probably some kind of diary.
Occasionally she stops writing in her diary and lets out a sigh with her cheekbones, and when she shows us her ennui, we want to hug her quickly.
'Mum........Dad.......'
I'm sorry, I was getting carried away.
I'm sorry, I was in a hurry, I thought he was thinking of me.
Of course I wanted to see my family in Japan more than I did.
Putting the diary back in the desk drawer, the chairman took off his gown and hung it on the back of the chair, gently wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his nightgown and got into bed.
Erna watched through the peephole, and after observing the chairperson in bed for a few more moments, she left her room with the sound of footsteps creeping in and went quietly through the living room and out into the hallway.
'Fred, keep an eye on Erna and let me know before you come back,'
Copy that... and I'll check on Camilla.
I asked Fred to keep an eye on Erna and then called out to the chairman of the committee.
''Yu, Yuka........''
Kenjin... where are you? Ah!
As I stepped out of the shadows of the bed to the front, the chairman of the committee hugged me.
He buries his face in my neck and sizzles and puts his arms around me.
''I'm sorry, the Lord of Volzard asked me to do some work for him, so I just couldn't come over.
I was worried that something was wrong...
'Sorry, but Volzard is a lot safer than this place, so don't worry about it.
'Yeah I'm still worried about you, if Kento is gone, no one will help you...'
I'm worried that she's pushing herself too hard...
'I'm sorry, I'll probably push myself because otherwise we'd all...'
That's right, the chairperson is a girl who pushes herself for the sake of everyone else, even though I told her not to push herself.
I understand, then I'll support Tadashi when he pushes himself too hard.
Kenjin... but then, Kenjin...
Let's pick a time, maybe lunchtime and four in the evening, so we can pretend to take a nap and then I'll cast a healing spell from the shadows.
"Kento.....thank you....I love you....
The chairman of the committee lays his head on me as if to spoil it.
Kuhhh..............I've already decided, I've already decided.
''Just now, Takayama-kun was here ... telling me not to rebel against me.
Oh, really?
I almost listened to what you said, but if they find out, they're going to find out that I was peeking at bath time, so let's just blurt it out.
'Yeah, I brought the maid girl with me so I told her, I'm going to be in the next actual battle, so Takayama-kun, you should go with me and protect everyone.
What did Takayama say?
'If you tell me not to go, I'll have to obey you because it sucks...'
Don't worry, even if Takayama isn't here, I'll protect you all I'll save you all.
'Yeah I'm waiting...'
Hahaha, limp-wristed hero, be my stepping stone.
Yuioka I'm thinking of launching a little counterattack on Camilla tonight.
What do you mean ... fight back?
'Yeah, I can still only do so much to harass you, but I think I can put a little dent in it.
Really? What do you do?
Well don't tell anyone yet.
'Yeah........Kento's mean.......'
I'll let you know if it works.
Yes, I promise...
The committee chairman and I intertwined our little fingers together and cut our fingers.
''Master Kent the caretaker is coming back....''
Copy that.
Yuuka, Erna is coming back. I'm going.
'Yeah...'
As I tried to hide in the shadows, the chairman kissed me on the cheek.
Now, then, let's go and give Camilla a counterattack, shall we?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
When I returned to the boarding house, feeling heavy after Manon slapped me, I must have looked too dawdling, because Amanda and the others asked me what had happened at the dinner table.
'Mother, I don't need to ask, of course they hated me for trying to get Manon to do something naughty.
'No, no, Meisa, I'm a gentleman and I wouldn't do that.
Tell me what's going on here, then, or you won't be able to enjoy the food you're making with that dreadful look on your face.
'Ugh ... actually ...'
I dodged the pursuit of the Bumpy Sisters, and Manon invited me up to the city walls, but when I came back to leave under the pressure of the too peachy atmosphere, I met Beatrice and she teased me, and Manon got a good laugh when I told her the story about how she left because she was angry.
I couldn't tell them that Beatrice had kissed me, as expected.
'It's no longer a laughing matter. It's awkward to see Manon tomorrow, you know.
'Haha, sorry, I'm sorry, but, Manon, you misunderstood me, didn't you?'
That's right, I only treated Beatrice at your request.

'Kent, what do you mean by "cure"?'
'What? Oh, didn't we talk about being able to use light-attribute magic as well?

'I see........Kent's not only kind, but he's also a can-do kid, so Manon-chan.......'
Nuh-uh, despite my appearance, I'm pretty good at what I do, Meisa.
'Kiwi........you're Kent, you're cocky, you're cocky, but you're rejected by Manon!
''Gahhhh........that's right.......''
Ha-ha, well, I guess we'll just have to see each other tomorrow and talk about it, but go ahead and eat it now, it's not going to last forever.
It's depressing to think about tomorrow, but there's nothing I can do about it now, so I'm going to focus on eating.

After taking off everything they were wearing, they confronted each other in the hot tub.
A sense of urgency drifts between the two as they shed the armor of their clothes and engage in a cutthroat battle, and the air seems to become charged with a chattering charge.
''Holy Lady, are you serious?''
I'll be sure to accompany you to your next real battle.
It's too dangerous. Please reconsider.
No.....
Well, there's no way that the chairman of the committee, who thinks that actual battle equals rescue, would think twice about it.

Erna watched through the peephole, and after observing the chairperson in bed for a few more moments, she left her room with the sound of footsteps creeping in and went quietly through the living room and out into the hallway.
'Fred, keep an eye on Erna and let me know before you come back,'
Copy that... and I'll check on Camilla.
I asked Fred to keep an eye on Erna and then called out to the chairman of the committee.
''Yu, Yuka........''
Kenjin... where are you? Ah!
As I stepped out of the shadows of the bed to the front, the chairman of the committee hugged me.
He buries his face in my neck and sizzles and puts his arms around me.
''I'm sorry, the Lord of Volzard asked me to do some work for him, so I just couldn't come over.
I was worried that something was wrong...
'Sorry, but Volzard is a lot safer than this place, so don't worry about it.
'Yeah I'm still worried about you, if Kento is gone, no one will help you...'
I'm worried that she's pushing herself too hard...
'I'm sorry, I'll probably push myself because otherwise we'd all...'
That's right, the chairperson is a girl who pushes herself for the sake of everyone else, even though I told her not to push herself.
I understand, then I'll support Tadashi when he pushes himself too hard.
Kenjin... but then, Kenjin...
Let's pick a time, maybe lunchtime and four in the evening, so we can pretend to take a nap and then I'll cast a healing spell from the shadows.
"Kento.....thank you....I love you....
The chairman of the committee lays his head on me as if to spoil it.
Kuhhh..............I've already decided, I've already decided.
''Just now, Takayama-kun was here ... telling me not to rebel against me.
Oh, really?
I almost listened to what you said, but if they find out, they're going to find out that I was peeking at bath time, so let's just blurt it out.
'Yeah, I brought the maid girl with me so I told her, I'm going to be in the next actual battle, so Takayama-kun, you should go with me and protect everyone.
What did Takayama say?
'If you tell me not to go, I'll have to obey you because it sucks...'
Don't worry, even if Takayama isn't here, I'll protect you all I'll save you all.
'Yeah I'm waiting...'
Hahaha, limp-wristed hero, be my stepping stone.
Yuioka I'm thinking of launching a little counterattack on Camilla tonight.
What do you mean ... fight back?
'Yeah, I can still only do so much to harass you, but I think I can put a little dent in it.
Really? What do you do?
Well don't tell anyone yet.
'Yeah........Kento's mean.......'
I'll let you know if it works.
Yes, I promise...
The committee chairman and I intertwined our little fingers together and cut our fingers.
''Master Kent the caretaker is coming back....''
Copy that.
Yuuka, Erna is coming back. I'm going.
'Yeah...'
As I tried to hide in the shadows, the chairman kissed me on the cheek.
Now, then, let's go and give Camilla a counterattack, shall we?
When I returned to the boarding house, feeling heavy after Manon slapped me, I must have looked too dawdling, because Amanda and the others asked me what had happened at the dinner table.'Mother, I don't need to ask, of course they hated me for trying to get Manon to do something naughty.'No, no, Meisa, I'm a gentleman and I wouldn't do that.Tell me what's going on here, then, or you won't be able to enjoy the food you're making with that dreadful look on your face.'Ugh ... actually ...'I dodged the pursuit of the Bumpy Sisters, and Manon invited me up to the city walls, but when I came back to leave under the pressure of the too peachy atmosphere, I met Beatrice and she teased me, and Manon got a good laugh when I told her the story about how she left because she was angry.I couldn't tell them that Beatrice had kissed me, as expected.'It's no longer a laughing matter. It's awkward to see Manon tomorrow, you know.'Haha, sorry, I'm sorry, but, Manon, you misunderstood me, didn't you?'That's right, I only treated Beatrice at your request.As I said this, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly.'Kent, what do you mean by "cure"?''What? Oh, didn't we talk about being able to use light-attribute magic as well?'Eww! No! You're so cocky, Kent!'What? What? What does that mean?I told Amanda and Meisa about my background, but Meline didn't listen, so it's as if she doesn't see the story.So I told them again that I was summoned from another world and that I can use magic.''Donovan-san only told me it was a job from Klaus-san, but did you really heal Beatrice?''Huh, well, you know, just in case.Amanda seems to be surprised because I didn't tell her that she could also use light-attribute healing magic.'But wait, if you're Beatrice, of course you've been treated by a healer, right? Why is Kent treating you?Well, Meline-san's question is natural, isn't it?It's not like the lord's daughter can't even receive satisfactory treatment, so if you think about it in a normal way, there shouldn't be any chance for me to take a chance.''Let's see.......it seems that the healers have spoonfed me and I'm betting on the last possibility......?Ehhh...Healer seems to be a job title that requires experience, and I don't think a kid like me can whip it up, do you?And I don't think a healer would be able to get out of a situation that would cause a healer to give up, do you?'So, what was it, Beatrice, that made you sick?It was putrid.Ehhh!Wow, all three of you are surprised to see me standing up.Come to think of it, the rot doesn't usually go away.Is it really true, Kent?'Yes, I don't have to lie anymore... oh, but I guess I shouldn't be too obvious... but I'm just going to keep this story between us...''Mom, I think this Kent is an imposter........''How stupid is this girl... or so I've been told...''No, no, Amanda, don't hesitate to deny it there.Ugh, I wonder, it's uncomfortable to be looked at as Zito by the three of us.'I see........Kent's not only kind, but he's also a can-do kid, so Manon-chan.......'Nuh-uh, despite my appearance, I'm pretty good at what I do, Meisa.'Kiwi........you're Kent, you're cocky, you're cocky, but you're rejected by Manon!''Gahhhh........that's right.......''Ha-ha, well, I guess we'll just have to see each other tomorrow and talk about it, but go ahead and eat it now, it's not going to last forever.It's depressing to think about tomorrow, but there's nothing I can do about it now, so I'm going to focus on eating.That's already a yakuza, yakuza.Tonight's menu is kolch beans and chicken soup.Each kolch bean is about five centimeters long and can be stored for a long time when dried.The dried kolch beans are simmered in a chicken broth, and the beans themselves are very hearty, so the broth alone is enough to fill you up.The beans themselves are so hearty that you can't really taste them. It's like you're swallowing the whole thing.Not at all, you should taste and eat properly...What's going on? Did you get something weird in there?'Right! Yes, just don't let them taste it!An idea just popped into my head.'Huh? What are you talking about, she doesn't like the taste of me that much?'No, it's not, I found the answer to something I've been thinking about for a long time, thank you, Amanda.'Huh I don't know what it is, but it's good to know that your troubles are over.After we finish dinner, I think we should quickly make a plan and put it into action tonight.'Mom, you look bad Kent....'Kent, you're not going to do something to little Beatrice to get back at me, are you?No, no, it's the evil princess of Riesenburg who gets even.What are you gonna do to get back at the princess?Oh well when I say get back at you, I'm not going to hurt you or take your life just to harass you.Isn't that true?Yes, of course, don't worry.Well, I hope you're right but don't take any chances.Yes, I know.After dinner, I returned to my room and asked Fred and Basten, who had been out scouting, to return as well.'We're going to fight back against Camilla tonight!"So, you've finally decided to hoard them."No, no, I'm not going to hold you back, I'm just going to give you a little bit of a psychological dip."What kind of plan...? I want to know..."Tell me, Mr. Kent.'Simply put, I'm going to pose a sleeping potion to Camilla and harass her while she's asleep."Would you like me to pull you naked and hang you from the roof?'No, no, Reinhardt, I wouldn't do anything so radical.But how do we get them to take the pills?"We'll stick it directly in your stomach.The bitterness of the medicine was a major obstacle to using sleeping pills.But if you think about it, you can walk into any place where there is a shadow, right?Just like the last time I massaged the heart of a child in cardiac arrest at the Rastock's office, I could throw the medicine into the stomach.This would put him to sleep without giving him a bitter taste."I see. You've thought about it.I know, right?"Camilla drinks a nightly nightcap when she has the chance to..."Yeah, we'll set it up then.After a brief meeting, we moved to the Rustock garrison.Since today is the day of rest, the knights will be given a day off, so there is no training for their classmates.When I peeked into the room to see if I could take care of the committee chairman before executing revenge on Camilla, I found the HENAKO Brave Man had come.Shelia is behind the limp-wristed hero and Erna is behind the chairman.''I don't understand how Asakawa-san feels, but since we have this bracelet, we have no choice but to obey.''''With Takayama-kun being able to use such amazing magic, why can't you plead for better treatment?'''No, it's not that I haven't said anything either, I've called for better treatment many times, but when someone tells you that the people who can't do it deserve to be treated badly...'Seven people have already died, Mr. Kokubun, Mr. Funayama, Mr. Nitta, Mr. Furuta, Mr. Furuta, Mr. Yagi, Mr. Kobayashi, Mr. Sakurai, they wouldn't have died if they had stayed in Japan.That's ... well, it's true, but I'm doing the best I can, too.You're certainly doing what you can, you're doing what you can, and you're making a porno out of Shelia when she's offered you the freedom to do so.Go away! And while you're at it, go bald, erotic hero.''I........I'll be accompanying you in the next actual battle.......''What........what are you talking about, if something happened to Asakawa-san, everyone would be treated even worse.Still, if I go, even the Knights of Riesenburg will try to fight me for real.'Maybe so, but...'What about Takayama-kun?What, me? I'm....'You're not going to fight in a real war? Can't you protect everyone?Yeah, well, I want to protect you guys as much as you do but I can't force you to go if you don't want to.I don't know what it is, but you're not going, you nerdy little b*tc*!''Hey, Reinhardt, with Takayama's magic, do you think you can kill at least one orc?''''Well, I'm sure that the brave man's fire magic will take him out.'You're going to be an asset in the field, right?Yes, but that's only if you can do what you're trained to do.'Then you'll have to be in the field, even more so.It's all very true.However, Takayama, the limp-wristed brave man, has been trying to give some kind of reason to keep the chairman from taking the pledge to go into battle.''Anyway, for everyone's sake, I'd like you to cooperate with Riesenburg a bit more, Asakawa-san.'I can't do that, if you want me to cooperate, you're going to have to change the way you're treated.Hmm you're stubborn too but anyway, I've given you some advice.Even if I say advice, it's just to keep a track of the fact that I gave you advice, and not because I was thinking of the committee chairman.Taking Ciria with him, the navel-gazing brave went back, and the chairman of the committee let out a deep sigh as he watched it go.With that, I'd be tempted to say which side I'm on, wouldn't I?The chairperson told Erna to prepare for the bath.''Kent-sama, what will you do?''"What? What do you want to do...?Would you like to observe the bathing process?"No, no, no, no, that's not necessary... hey.I wonder what Reinhardt is going to say, if he doesn't want to see it, of course he does, but hey."Dear Mr. Kent the perk of the job...'Yes, Master Kent is working so hard. No perks will go unpunished.'No, no, no, no, Fred and Basten, I don't know what you're talking about...'The three of them are all very athletic and suggest me to peek at them.It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for."I think you should listen to the conversation in the bath..."That caretaker had a rather stern look on his face, you know...Indeed, during the conversation with the navel-gazing hero, Erna wrinkled her brows the whole time.Hey, this, I have to listen to the conversation while bathing, right?Yeah, it's just to find out how the conversation is going, because I have no choice.Naturally, when we move to the changing room, the chairman takes off his clothes without hesitation.After taking off everything they were wearing, they confronted each other in the hot tub.A sense of urgency drifts between the two as they shed the armor of their clothes and engage in a cutthroat battle, and the air seems to become charged with a chattering charge.''Holy Lady, are you serious?''I'll be sure to accompany you to your next real battle.It's too dangerous. Please reconsider.No.....Well, there's no way that the chairman of the committee, who thinks that actual battle equals rescue, would think twice about it.The other side, Erna, on the other hand, thinks that actual battle equals death, so she should reconsider.But that doesn't mean he can't confide in Erna about the rescue mission, and it's kind of a frustrating relationship.After that, the chairman washes his body and hair with Erna's help, and after the chairman soaks in the hot tub again, Erna washes her own body, but both of them remain silent.Normally their eyes would be drawn to various places, but the tense air applied to them and they couldn't take their eyes off of their expressions.In the end, both of them remained silent and bath time was over.Huh........for me, the stimulation was too strong.After this, when Erna goes to report to Camilla, I'm going to take care of the chairperson, but I wonder if I can get a decent look at her face.Back in the living room, Erna spoke to the committee chair as she prepared a cold drink.'Would you really reconsider?'I hate it...Erna let out a small sigh at the committee chair's lackadaisical reply.After drinking half of her drink, the chairperson went to her bedroom.Erna put away her glass of drink and went into her room to look through the peephole at the chairperson.To her surprise, there is not one, but several peepholes in the room, which are difficult to see from the chairman's side.Elna seems to peek in from the hardest place to find first, then she checks the position of the chairperson and chooses the easiest place to look through.The chairperson enters the bedroom, puts on her gown, and seems to be writing something at her desk.From our position, we can't see the text, but it's probably some kind of diary.Occasionally she stops writing in her diary and lets out a sigh with her cheekbones, and when she shows us her ennui, we want to hug her quickly.'Mum........Dad.......'I'm sorry, I was getting carried away.I'm sorry, I was in a hurry, I thought he was thinking of me.Of course I wanted to see my family in Japan more than I did.Putting the diary back in the desk drawer, the chairman took off his gown and hung it on the back of the chair, gently wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his nightgown and got into bed.Erna watched through the peephole, and after observing the chairperson in bed for a few more moments, she left her room with the sound of footsteps creeping in and went quietly through the living room and out into the hallway.'Fred, keep an eye on Erna and let me know before you come back,'Copy that... and I'll check on Camilla.I asked Fred to keep an eye on Erna and then called out to the chairman of the committee.''Yu, Yuka........''Kenjin... where are you? Ah!As I stepped out of the shadows of the bed to the front, the chairman of the committee hugged me.He buries his face in my neck and sizzles and puts his arms around me.''I'm sorry, the Lord of Volzard asked me to do some work for him, so I just couldn't come over.I was worried that something was wrong...'Sorry, but Volzard is a lot safer than this place, so don't worry about it.'Yeah I'm still worried about you, if Kento is gone, no one will help you...'I'm worried that she's pushing herself too hard...'I'm sorry, I'll probably push myself because otherwise we'd all...'That's right, the chairperson is a girl who pushes herself for the sake of everyone else, even though I told her not to push herself.I understand, then I'll support Tadashi when he pushes himself too hard.Kenjin... but then, Kenjin...Let's pick a time, maybe lunchtime and four in the evening, so we can pretend to take a nap and then I'll cast a healing spell from the shadows."Kento.....thank you....I love you....The chairman of the committee lays his head on me as if to spoil it.Kuhhh..............I've already decided, I've already decided.''Just now, Takayama-kun was here ... telling me not to rebel against me.Oh, really?I almost listened to what you said, but if they find out, they're going to find out that I was peeking at bath time, so let's just blurt it out.'Yeah, I brought the maid girl with me so I told her, I'm going to be in the next actual battle, so Takayama-kun, you should go with me and protect everyone.What did Takayama say?'If you tell me not to go, I'll have to obey you because it sucks...'Don't worry, even if Takayama isn't here, I'll protect you all I'll save you all.'Yeah I'm waiting...'Hahaha, limp-wristed hero, be my stepping stone.Yuioka I'm thinking of launching a little counterattack on Camilla tonight.What do you mean ... fight back?'Yeah, I can still only do so much to harass you, but I think I can put a little dent in it.Really?
