I woke up from a good night’s sleep and heard about the coming out.

“Saint. You knew, right? I’m a witch.”

‘… How did you know? No, more than that. Why did you tell me?!’

It was unbelievable.

In the ‘original work’, why did Irene endure such severe pain?

Wasn’t it to hide the fact that she was a witch?

But, why are you saying that with your own mouth?

“That, that. There… Huh?”

“That expression. You knew it, didn’t you?”

Irene smiles as she looks at me like that.

… it’s dangerous.

Even though I woke up with a dazed head, I still felt uneasy.

So, I quickly changed the subject.

‘Hey, grab the tail first!!’

“Irene too. Did you have a dream~? Me being a saint? That can’t be true!”

Huh. I’m not a saint.

Irene’s eyes narrowed.

“Don’t lie. I know everything.”

“I said no? I’m a wizard to begin with. A wizard being a saint? That’s ridiculous!”

“… … ?”

One, when I pulled it off, her head tilted slightly.

As if he was suspicious.

“Lies… No, there’s no way he would lie so shamelessly. This sloppy kid. ”

‘What is a surprise rudeness?’

“I’m not lying~!! Prove it to me?”

“… … ?”

‘Gap!’

In addition, Irene is confused by the word ‘proof’.

… I’m not the type of person to miss this opportunity.

I’m an absolute blackmailer who’s only done good things for 10 years.

I knew from experience that in times like these you have to attack boldly.

I decided to take a big step forward.

‘Full betting goes on…!!!’

-All the way.

“Then do you really want to kiss me? Then you’ll know right away. I’m not a saint.”

“… … !!!!!?”

Put your finger on your lips and lean your body forward.

Then I suggested that we check with a kiss.

…it wasn’t a bluff.

It’s a secret among secrets that I’m the mastermind who knows the ‘original work’.

A kiss would be all it takes to keep that secret.

I would never do it with a man, but it was okay with a woman.

‘I feel a little sorry towards Louis, though.’

The only thing that’s on my mind is Louis, who isn’t here right now.

Irene is practically on the verge of dating Louis.

But, I still have memories of when I was a man, so I’m kissing this girl?

Ah. This is a bit.

‘… Well, he won’t care, so it doesn’t matter.’

But this is just a problem from my point of view.

There was a high probability that Louis himself would not care.

My body is, through and through, a woman’s.

Girls can kiss each other a little.

If it were Louis, wouldn’t he have thought about it like this and just let it go?

It would have been a complete crime to keep the fact that I was once a man a secret.

“Okay. If you’re so curious, then just try it. Chu~.”

-All the way.

It’s been a while since I’ve done this in a ruthless way.

Irene’s embarrassment grew even more intense.

“Huh? Are you serious?”

‘… I’m back to formal speech! I guess I can end this without kissing!’

“Of course. Why, do it on my behalf?”

Embarrassment is a very good sign.

The attack became even more heated.

The attack method is to get close to the face as if you are going to kiss him at any moment.

Our lips came so close that they almost brushed against each other.

‘The best defense is a good offense…!!’

“… … .”

He stared into Irene’s amber eyes without saying a word, his lips sticking out.

The strange atmosphere that accompanies it.

… Because we’re doing this without saying anything, it feels like we’re about to kiss.

I just keep my mouth shut for fear of having bad breath.

“… … .”

“… … .”

-Quiet.

Like that, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes.

Time has passed for one cup of ramen to cook.

It didn’t feel short.

How could the time when two women sit face to face, staring at each other without saying a word, feel so short?

Even for a country like mine, this is a bit burdensome.

But I kept a poker face…

The result was so sweet.

“… Hehe. Okay, I understand, stop. Stop!!”

-Whew. Mumble mumble.

“This is the first time I’ve heard something like that from a woman… .”

Irene avoids eye contact with her face reddened.

Muttered softly with her lips covered…

I’m sure you’re thinking of Louis.

If she were to do it, she would probably want to have her first kiss with Louis.

Yeah, I’m sure it will be.

“Irene is really shy too~.”

“… … Ugh.”

The Louis-Irene coin went smoothly today too.

* * *

After the controversy over the saint or something.

Irene explained to me what happened last night.

“You don’t seem to know, but the princess is a saint.”

“You’re persistent. Who the hell keeps doing that?”

“I’m the one who returned from the future.”

“… … What?”

“Let me explain. Actually… .”

The ‘fake Irene’ that was in me, or to be exact, the Irene that returned from the future, pops out.

I was able to learn a lot from talking to her or something.

My expression hardened.

‘I never thought I’d hear something like regression in real life, let alone in a novel. Even my dreams are so dramatic.’

It’s not a novel, so how does that make sense?

And what else? Fake Irene?

There’s no way that’s possible.

Me. Third Princess. A status where even servants’ throats would be cut if they caught a cold.

As such, I was receiving health care from my employees every day.

It’s like taking deworming medicine in Korea, so I drink holy water once a year.

It was impossible for something like an evil spirit to possess me like that.

‘Well, if it was the original witch mode Irene, she could have gotten through that and possessed me… but why would she possess me? If she was going to do it, she would have done it to Louis.’

Of course, if it were Irene, it might be possible, but let’s put that aside since she has no motivation at all.

My hand, having grasped the situation, reached out to Irene.

It was to gently caress.

-Tsdam tsdam.

“Irene, did you have a fun dream?”

“… Yes?”

“Did you dream of time travel?”

I had that dream. That must have been fun.

Still, dreams are just dreams. Stop getting so absorbed in them.

Irene’s expression was filled with resentment.

“No, it wasn’t a dream! It was definitely last night.”

“But you shouldn’t call her a witch so carelessly? I’m quick-witted so I thought it was a dream, but if other people heard it, it would be a witch trial~.”

“Ugh, ugh…!!! Don’t even listen to what people say…!!!”

He even beat his chest as if he was feeling suffocated.

… In the original, he was such a pitiful kid. Was it normal for him to grow up this sloppily if he lived a normal life?

In many ways, Louis and I are a perfect match.

I rather like it.

He stroked it more gently.

“What, you think you can dream? I had a dream about eating something sweet too.”

“… … .”

“Anyway. I’m going to go wash up soon. I don’t know why, but my nipples keep tickling.”

-Shock.

“A mosquito bite… Huh? Irene, what’s wrong? Did a mosquito bite you on your nipple too?”

“Uh, uh. No… ?”

‘Oh my. It’s written all over your face that you’re lying.’

“No, let’s go wash together! I’ll put some ointment on you!”

After that, I thoroughly applied ointment to Irene who had been bitten by a mosquito while taking a shower in the morning.

“Oh, Princess. I got bitten by a mosquito… .”

-Pinch.

“Huh!!?”

“It also has a moisturizing effect, so just apply it even if you don’t have any acne.”

-Pinch, pinch.

“… … Haha♡”

I like it. It’s the royal skin care cream.

Since that day, Irene has been working hard.

To teach my duty to the princess who doesn’t know that I am a saint.

“Princess. Do you want to make a bet to guess what’s for dinner tonight? If you win, I’ll give you anything!”

“The menu changes if I say something. Can I really make a bet like that~?”

“… … .”

You can predict the future.

With that ability, you knew I was a witch and you chased me away.

I can’t do that.

And I’m not a saint. Stop talking about witches. Are you having second-year syndrome?

This kind of dialogue continued for one, two, three days.

1 week. 2 weeks. 3 weeks. 4 weeks.

Five weeks have passed.

“It’s already the final exam. I hate it… .”

‘These days, I’m talking so openly, but people don’t even listen. Oh my.’

Time flies, and it’s the end of the semester.

Week 15. Final exam period has arrived.

“Phehe… Stee, unnie, you did it… .”

“Final exams, are they over now~?”

“I’m done studying, but the biggest thing I’ve left behind is… .”

Those hellish final exams are over.

Finally, it’s the weekend of one of the Academy’s specialties: the ranking battle.

That night, many people lost sleep.

‘Still… Hehe. There are a lot of things I’ve secretly prepared for Woogyul. Kids, look forward to it!’

Estee was excited.

With the intention of turning the quarrel between couples into a real one, a long-cherished project of his own.

‘I ended up not being able to do Chuchu with my sister… I should probably do it soon… Ugh, I’m so embarrassed… .’

Steve was embarrassed.

I have to do Chuchu with my sister, but at the same time, I’m so embarrassed.

‘I published the second volume while the princess was studying, so I think I’ll be able to see the real reaction this time. Based on that, I’ll definitely convince them both…!!’

Shepor vowed.

The second volume of my work, which has become famous by chance, is much more racy.

Based on that reaction, I will try to convince the two men.

‘Ha. Let’s put her in a dress first. Thanks to you, we’ve gotten pretty close in the past month. I guess I’ll just have to tease her.’

Irene sighed.

I want to dress up this sloppy princess who doesn’t even know she’s a saint.

It wasn’t just the Academy people who had trouble sleeping.

‘It’s been almost two months since I last saw you. Ah, I wish the sun would rise soon.’

‘Estee. I’ve missed you, Uncle. Wait. I’ll come see you soon.’

‘I’ll finally get to see that Stie in person. She looks just like the grown-up Esti. I’m really looking forward to it!’

‘Ah, Estee…!! This older sister is going!’

‘Est. Est. Est. Est. Est. Est.’

Even the royal family had trouble sleeping.

At the thought of seeing Esti, the youngest of the royal family whom I would not mind putting in my eyes.

-Ssss… .

“Are you ready for the raid? Do you think it’s possible to assassinate the Third Princess and that pig-year?”

“Of course. …as long as those TS Brigade guys don’t get in my way.”

“Ugh, how many times have we moved hideouts because of those guys? But this time, for sure… .”

Those who had become strangely unkempt over the past few months, wearing upside-down rosaries around their necks, also stayed up all night.

With the intention of going against the flow.

-Wow!!

“What!!?”

“You little rats. Because of you, I haven’t been able to sleep with the saintess lately… Ahem. Everyone, according to plan.”

“Yes!! Captain!!!”

“You, you bastards!!! It’s you again!!!”

… It seemed that it wasn’t their intention for the TS Brigade to stay up all night with them. Anyway.

So, many people stayed up all night for various reasons.

———But, the most dangerous night of them all is this.

Not even two groups fighting for their lives.

“When you turn back into a man, let’s have a drink together to celebrate. Louis.”

“Okay. There are only two days left until I see you, the man.”

“Huh huh. Then… I will start the release.”

“Yeah. I’ll leave my life to you.”

Louis and Ferrado. These two.
