“Ahhh you piss me off. I will definitely humiliate you one day.”

“Feel free to do so as you wish. And do take care to not be humiliated yourself all the while.”

Even those sharp sounding words served to further increase the perplexity of all watching.

“S-Shingetsu-sama.”

One of the underlings approached her.

“What?”

“You have a call from Lady Leticia.”

“Leticia? Put her on.”

Youran said, and the subordinate went back.

After a bit, the large monitor on the wall displayed Leticia.

The background was some sort of room, and she was wearing a dress.

[What, ya still up there on the plane?]

“Did you already arrive?”

[Yup. I was tryna figure out where ya are, and meet up if yer close enough.]

“Sakura?”

“About three hours until landing.”

A complete 180 from earlier, Sakura shifted to a more businesslike manner.

“Well there you go.”

[That’s quite a bit of time. Oh well. Anyhow, about that man…]

“That man? You mean Master?”

[Yup.]

“Master’s in Japan.”

[Ya didn’t have him with ya?]

“Nah. This particular trip is a bit of a drag and rather shady too, right? I didn’t want to drag Master into this.”

[Ya sure he ain’t gonna catch wind of this and run over?] 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

“No way. And why do you even care, Leti?”

[Why do I care?]

Leticia’s beautiful eyebrows ruffled up on the other side of the screen.

[Cuz ya got rid of all ma medicine! Why ya actin’ like you ain’t responsible?]

“Ahh, right. Without Master here, you’ll end up breaking down.”

[Don’t talk about me like I’m a robot!]

“It’s fine, Leticia-sama. I have instructions from him.”

[Instructions?]

“Our fair princess can collapse as much as she wants, I’ll be there to gently wake her up with a kiss.”

[Ugaaah!]

Leticia let out a piercing scream.

Youran’s subordinates watched all of this with lukewarm expressions.

This happened quite often.

Leticia H Kelaz, a near-perfect princess.

Everyone knew well that in private, especially around Youran, she just acted like a normal girl.

They were used to this.

“He’s looking after you, so you can relax and let yourself faint. At least I think you should.”

[Like hell I will! Now I’ll just hafta last until I get to Japan by pure willpower!]

“No way, that’s just impossible for you, Leti.”

“I have to agree with Shingetsu-sama this time around.”

[Nooope, I’ll do it.]

“I’m telling you it’s not gonna work.”

Youran cackled.

“I mean, you just grinned right now didn’t you?”

[Hah?]

Leticia began touching her face all over.

[I-I ain’t gonna let ya fool me—-]

“You saw that, right Sakura?”

“Yes, she did in fact grin.”

“You all saw that too right?”

Youran was now asking her subordinates too.

All of them either grimaced or casually looked the other way.

As Leticia saw that, her face went red, the base of her ears the color of boiled crab.

“You totally just, like, imagined a princess getting woken up by a kiss from her beloved prince, didn’t you? Just now. But hey, you, like, are a princess, right? And I’ll have Master become a king before long, so why not, like, think of him as a prince right now?”

Youran said, purposely stretching out the word “like” similar to how a regular high school girl would, teasing Leticia to the max.

They could hear snickering.

Both from Youran’s subordinates and from the speakers.

On the other side of the screen, Leticia’s subordinates were undoubtedly doing the same thing.

[—-ngh, I will, I will endure until I make it to Japan no matter what. You’ll be so frustrated you’ll have tears on yer face.]

“Or you could stop overdoing it and just accept your fate as a princess.”

“I agree.”

Leticia left a sharp parting remark and cut off the call.

The mood had become a bit more mellowed out in the plane.

That was because everyone in there understood. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

This little skit just now with Leticia was a perfect sign that Youran and Sakura had completely reconciled with one another.

And just from the fact that everyone in the plane had been able to slightly participate in the conversation made it easy to surmise where their current relationship was at.

And everyone—-especially the women—-had their minds racing, wondering just who this man named Natsuno Taiyou was that he should have so much power over this princess.

“I have arrived!”

Akiha swung her katana, cutting through the enemy encirclement.

Nighttime in the city, a city of carnage.

Akiha was participating in a fight between two organizations as a third power.

Ruri, the strongest girl in the world was behind her, walking briskly. She had no weapon in her hand.

She walked slowly along the path that Akiha had carved up.

“How do you like that, Master? Am I stronger now?”

“Somewhat…but you still have a ways to go.”

“Hooray! It’s the first time I got a ‘somewhat’ from you!”

Akiha rejoiced as she cut through all the throngs of punch permed specialists leaping out from the shadows with their daggers.

Akiha bisected all of them, attacking one and then the other immediately after.

“Relax, everyone. I’m just hitting you with the back of the sword—-oho, I did it, I always wanted to do this! Mhm, fantastic!”

“Carelessness—-is your worst enemy.”

“I’m not being careless, I trust you.”

“You…trust me?”

“You’re not participating because you have confidence that I can do this, right? So it’s fine. I’ll prove that you were right in trusting me.”
