After that happened.

I was dispatched to Kelstein Castle, the front line, with Reika.

My application for dispatch was accepted with unprecedented speed, and a few days passed and my departure day was just around the corner.

“Master. Swen, I would like to leave for Kelstein Castle early tomorrow morning to carry out the mission you have entrusted me with.”

After finishing the formal greeting, I looked at her face, and she still seemed to be unable to relieve her worries.

“Today is the day you leave, Swen.”

“It has already happened.”

I smiled as resolutely as I could.

As time passed – rumors began to circulate worse than expected.

First of all, the reputation of Serpina among the northern continent’s territories had fallen to a level similar to when she had just taken power.

When the youngest daughter, who was neither Algoth nor Sidmid, suddenly ascended to the throne, how many rebellions broke out because they could not accept it?

If it’s similar to the reputation back then… … It would be no exaggeration to say that we really hit rock bottom.

The most efficient answer with intelligence of 100 was doing its job faithfully.

“… … .”

Although I was worried about leaving Serpina behind, who was looking at me very dangerously without saying a word.

“Master. While I am away, you can rely on General Irene.”

As long as Iren, whom she can trust more than anyone else, stays by Serphina’s side, nothing special will happen.

In the first place, what I was about to do now was an action that would not benefit Serpina-kun [in all respects].

I felt like laughing when I thought that this would in turn guarantee Serpina’s safety, but for now I just swallowed them.

“So don’t worry too much, my lord. Didn’t I tell you that this is within the scope of what I expected?”

“… … .”

“Swen… … .”

at that time.

Serpina came closer to me and held my hand tightly.

I felt as if he was telling me not to go, so I couldn’t put any strength into his hand or take it away.

“I… … Did I do the right thing?”

“Of course.”

“But, it’s always been like that. So far… … My life is like the more I touch it, as if I were harming someone I hate so much… … Because I ran in an unexpected direction. So, you too will end up being caught up in a strange reputation for no reason-”

“Master. In the end, sincerity prevails. And, unlike before, am I not by your side now?”

“… … !”

“So, please believe me. I will prove that my ‘mind’s eye’, which shows a favorable path for my lord, is not wrong.”

Only then did Serpina slowly relax her grip on her hand.

“I’ll be back.”

“… … Come back. The door will be waiting for you.”

For a moment, I felt like stroking her head.

No matter how much she cared for me, I thought that it would be bad for her and me to carelessly place a hand on my lord’s dignified body, so I bowed, showed respect, and slowly left the royal castle.

When I came out of the castle, the sky was particularly high and blue.

How can I protect Serpina?

What should we do to go against the ‘most efficient’ method?

actually.

The result was simpler than expected.

‘Can’t I just not do as I’m told?’

Don’t do this? huh. I’m going to do it like this.

Since my intelligence was over 100, it was obvious that if I did what I was told not to do, the reaction I would receive would inevitably be applied.

So, this time I use my ‘unconditionally correct prediction’ in reverse. To ensure that Serpina can safely protect her throne, she continues to pursue a path that is ‘completely unprofitable’.

Whether Serpina County can unify is none of my business. My part-time job is Serpina’s life. Serpina’s safety. And, because it was Serpina’s laughter.

‘Let’s give it a try.’

To keep my promise to Luna.

To protect Serpina’s life.

From this moment today, I――

I will gladly become the author of a book that deflects everything with 0 intelligence.

The day I leave.

“Please take care of my lord, Irene.”

“You don’t have to worry too much, Swen. I will risk my life to protect my lord from all threats.”

“No, there is no need to risk your life. Never overdo it.”

Anyway, as long as I have predictions, Serpina won’t be in much danger.

“… … .”

After that, the two of us didn’t say anything to each other.

I am… … Notice what this silence means. I don’t want to act like a coward by pretending not to know here.

“Irene.”

“… … !!”

So, take the first step.

Hug her tightly.

“I’ll be back soon. You have to wait. Okay? I… … Because there is no other place to go but here.”

After saying that, he slowly strokes her red hair.

Her body scent, which feels quite familiar to me now, warmly knocks on my heart.

The firm texture that felt distinctly different from when I held Serpina strongly asserted that she was a woman who lived on the battlefield.

“Hey, you know… … .”

“Please tell me.”

“It’s a bit disappointing to break up like this, but… … Still, I’ll be back… … I’ll be waiting patiently… … Do you have to come back?”

“… … .”

――What were you thinking?

As soon as I heard her say that she didn’t want to break up like this, I felt like a switch was flipped in my head.

I don’t think ahead or back… … kiss her cheek

“… … ?!?!”

Irene looked at me in great confusion as she shouted.

Although my face was very red and I was very embarrassed… … It wasn’t a sign of dislike.

Today was a very strange day for some reason.

Should I say that I have become a little bolder?

I wanted to tease her for no reason, so I deliberately stuck out my mouth.

“… … Did you hate it?”

“Huh? Ah, ah, no… … Sis, I don’t hate it! Sis, I didn’t hate it… … .”

“Then will you do it too?”

“Ah? uh… … Uh, uh, yeah… … ?”

“Sleep.”

I slowly closed my eyes with excitement.

And soon, the sound of her breathing came very close –

Side, and.

The feel of her lips brushed my cheek.

When I opened my eyes, Irene was standing there with her eyes downcast, her face blushing profusely and unable to say anything.

When I thought about it, I felt like my life ever since I was possessed had been one huge epic story of protecting her.

He meets her because Rin is grumpy, and to save her, he abandons Rin and falls for Yuuri.

Just like she is, she willingly becomes a traitor because of me, who was abandoned by Yuuri.

In all those moments, she and I… … Isn’t it like a miracle that we can safely say hello together like this?

This was even more so considering that she was a general going into battle.

“… … .”

As I was looking at her without saying a word while thinking that, did I have a misunderstanding?

Irene hesitated and spoke as if she didn’t know what to do.

“… … that that… … Hey, maybe… … If you say it wasn’t enough… … .”

“Not enough?”

“Yeah, but… … ! Swen, since you don’t have anything to say… … Well, that is.”

She seemed so strong when she took the lead and led everyone.

The voice she was making now was so faint that it could hardly be considered that of a general.

female voice. It may be a bit vulgar, but other than that word, there was no suitable word to describe Iren today.

“Mi, I’m sorry… … Nana… … It’s my first time. This is my first time doing anything like this… … I don’t know what men like to do, or anything like that… … .”

“This is exactly what I like.”

“… … Huh?”

“Men. I like this look. So, it’s okay to be confident.”

I said that and smiled.

“That… … they say? Well, that’s it… … ?”

“Of course.”

“Yes… … Well, then… … Swendo… … Really?”

“Me?”

“Swendo… … Because I’m a man, things like this… … Do you like it?”

… … under.

I sigh deeply inwardly without realizing it.

I felt like if I talked more, I wouldn’t want to leave.

I guess I should finish it soon.

“… … Sure.”

It wasn’t until I spoke out that I realized that my voice was shaking slightly.

Since I was always close to him, I had forgotten about him. The fact that she is a very beautiful woman.

Even when she is next to Serpina, who has a beautiful face that no one can match, Irene never lags behind. In fact, when it comes to feminine parts such as breasts and pelvis, Irene is slightly ahead of Serpina.

I always thought of her as cute… … If it comes out like that in serious mode, my tongue gets twisted without me even realizing it.

“Really? Yes… … Thank goodness.”

“So, don’t worry and wait. I will take responsibility for Reika and bring her back safely.”

“Yes. okay. Since Swen said he would come back safely, I will believe him.”

“Yes.”

After breaking up with Irene.

Only then was I able to face Reika on the carriage again.

“Now. Please leave.”

“Yes!”

As the carriage finally departed, Reika, who was sitting across from me, slightly tilted her head and said.

“I… … What happened?”

“Yes? Me?”

“Yes.”

“Why? Nothing much happened?”

“I see, yo… … ?”

He seemed very puzzled, so I asked him what was going on.

“Swen… … My face looks really red… … Don’t you have a fever?”

“… … Me?”

“Yes. Oh, I… … .”

Reika rummaged through her belongings, then took out a small hand mirror and handed it to me.

When I looked inside… … My red, ripened self comes into view.

‘… … .’

On my part, I thought I behaved very resolutely when dealing with Irene… …

I guess this is what I must have felt like in her eyes.

When I thought about that, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“… … Swen… … ?”

“No. Just because it’s funny.”

“Yes? Ah, yes… … .”

Reika looked at me a little strangely, but she didn’t feel unpleasant.

at that time.

“Anyway, if you’re tired, I think you could get some sleep… … ?”

“Because I have a hard time sleeping while sitting down. It’s okay.”

“You can lie down… … !”

“In this narrow place? How?”

“So… … .”

Reika moved her body little by little, pressing herself as close to the corner as possible.

He tapped the area where his knee was.

Her voluminous breasts sway beautifully to the movements of her hands.

“Here… … !”

“… … ?”

I understood what was being said, but at the same time, I didn’t understand-

Reika said with a very bright expression.

“You can lie down here comfortably… … !”

… … Today was definitely a very strange day.
