Chapter 6: The Birth of the New Queen

I don’t remember much about that day.
Specifically, what I don’t remember is what happened after infiltrating the royal castle.
With private rooms for the princess scattered all over the castle, I searched tirelessly until I felt a powerful surge of magic. In a desperate rush, I found Toko-san on the verge of death, and I vividly remember treating her. … Read more

8 (Toko’s Perspective)
It had been half a day since Princess Toko was confined to her room in the royal palace.
“…Hey, could you please untie my hands already?”
“Absolutely not. If your hands are free, you can use magic.”
The elderly man monitoring Toko, who tied her to a chair with her hands bound behind her back, was none other than the man who had served as the prime minister of this country for many years. … Read more

Once the decision was made, time was of the essence.
Riding in a carriage with Yuzuriha, who was still frozen in shock, we headed to the Duke’s mansion. As she finally snapped out of it and started processing information, Yuzuriha scolded me.
“Wait a minute! Aren’t you being too nonchalant about this?”
“What’s the matter?”
“You should know! Trying to rescue the princess by storming the royal castle is basically a suicide mission!” … Read more

The price of fish has significantly increased. Vegetables remain consistently expensive.
The nation is immersed in a major war, with reports of continuous victories by our country’s military.
I observe the merchants. Smiling merchants, pale-faced merchants, those secretly preparing to flee… Their attitudes speak louder than words.
Observing the atmosphere in the capital, I eventually came to a conclusion.
For today’s dinner, it’s tempura soba. … Read more

4 (Duke’s point of view)
Late at night, Toko’s first words upon visiting the Sakuragi Duke family were truly surprising to the Duke.
“Wait a minute. What did you just say?”
“I totally get why you’d want to ask that, but it’s true. the head is in action. In fact, he came to see me!”
“Confirming, by the ‘head,’ you mean that Kingmaker guy…?”
“Of course! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come all the way here urgently, even though I’m super busy!” … Read more

On a Sunday, I headed out for shopping with Yuzuriha-san.
It turns out that Suzuha had some urgent work to do at the Knight Academy and wouldn’t be back until tonight. So, without worrying about Suzuha finding out, I could take my time choosing a present.
“For gifts to girls, accessories are usually a safe choice,”
suggested Yuzuriha-san, leading us into one of the high-end districts in the royal capital,
commonly known as the aristocratic district. … Read more

As far as I knew, Yuzuriha-san was in an exceptionally good mood on the way back to the country.
To put it bluntly, for some unknown reason, she was extremely cheerful.
The topics she brought up when talking to me were all upbeat.
“Now you too, are officially a noble! Congratulations!”
“No, no, no.… Read more

Sixty-three seconds later, when I thought it was all over,
the attacks towards Yuzuriha, prepared for her imminent death, suddenly eased, as if a thread had snapped.
It was evident that the Ogre King had been defeated.
(Even at this distance… you narrowly saved me again, my partner…?)
My partner seemed to be a bit too good at saving my life—
That was Yuzuriha’s solitary musings.

“Just because, I jokingly suggested that I’d like to enter the Ogre’s Great Forest.
I do have genuine interest, but I expected to be opposed, going into the forest of demons where we never know what might be there.
However,
Yuzuriha-san and Suzuha readily agreed and even offered to come along.”
“If it’s Suzuha’s brother, there should be no problem. Ah, but in case we get surrounded by Ogres, I’ll accompany you and protect your back.” … Read more

“…You really don’t understand a woman’s heart.”
Yuzuriha, shaking her head with a sigh, suddenly looked at me with pity.
“Listen, this is simple. In other words…”
Just as Yuzuriha was about to enlighten me, she stopped mid-sentence.
“…Wait a minute? Could this be an opportunity…?”
“Yuzuriha-san?”
“…Hold on a second. Is this a chance to…?!”…If I do Suzuha-kun a favor here, and bring her back to my side again…then when those Amazoness ruffians try to cause trouble, I’ll have the Suzuha-kun card to play…Not a bad plan…”
“Yuzuriha-san…?” … Read more
