That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

The saint hates the princess-3

After giving it some time, Mirazen seemed to have escaped the heat from before.

He wiped his face, raised his palm like a triangle, and looked at me through the gap.

It’s something you’ve done a lot in the past, so was it that embarrassing?

You may not remember Mirajen, but she is quite aggressive towards the person she loves.

Of course, that was the case when they were officially lovers.

I’m embarrassed because I’m not in a relationship right now. Anyway, seeing Miragen like this was a different experience.

Even if it’s something I’ve seen more than 10 times, Miragen is always showing new reactions.

When I laughed, Mirazen glared at me with a frown.

The rolling eyes stopped for a moment, then hesitantly opened his mouth.

“This may be an rude question, but have you ever had a lot of relationships with women?”

“I didn’t think you would ask that first, but it has only been done once in my life.”

“…I know he had a fiancé. Ha ha, that’s because it’s amazing.”

I immediately noticed what surprised me, so I just laughed without saying anything.

It was a slight movement that crossed the line just now. Maybe it’s because I’ve been thinking about it for a while.

Even if you’re angry, you can relax when you see your face. I think I might be a very stupid person.

“I was kidding. A little angry.”

“I don’t usually talk a lot, but I’m a princess. Do you remember?”

“I remember, but do you want me to treat you like a princess?”

Mirazen hesitated at the question and shook her head slightly.

He probably thought that this relationship was not bad.

that’s me too

I could treat Mirazen with respect like a princess, but if I really did, it would make me feel stuffy.

Anyway, it was time to hear the reason.

What kind of artifact did he come to find, and why did he sneak out of the imperial palace?

When I asked, thinking that it would not come out without any countermeasures, Mirazen fortunately explained the various countermeasures she had put in place.

“I made my alter ego for now.”

“The alter ego…?”

“As you know, there are many people close to me in the Mage Tower. If you ask the wizards, it’s as simple as creating your own alter ego. After all, you have to stay in your room during the probation period. You don’t even need to make it move.”

“What do you plan to do if His Majesty hears?”

“The other kids will do just fine. He doesn’t come to visit me that often anyway, and he’s been busy lately.”

Come to think of it, the imperial palace was busy in its own way. Was it when the emperor and the crown prince were talking seriously about expanding their territory?

I don’t know where Mirazen’s courage comes from, taking advantage of such a gap to make his way to the south.

“If you ask about the artifact, they won’t tell you.”

“no. I can tell you, but the problem is that I haven’t figured it out yet.”

“Then why are you here?”

“It is one of the candidates. Originally, I was going to keep moving with the wizard… but it’s going to be difficult for me to move alone now.”

I look at Mirajen, who is peeking at me.

Naturally. I’m full of energy just for Mirazen to come here, but I can’t believe I’ll just let her move alone.

Sorceress, it’s something she only needs to use when she goes back,

At least while I was in the South, I felt like I had to watch, even if it was uneasy.

As I stared at her, Mirajen shook her shoulders and opened her mouth as she swept her arm.

“You’re not thinking of keeping an eye on me, are you?”

“It seems like everyone is learning mind reading these days.”

“everyone? Adrian is usually the type to read people’s minds well.”

“This is Adele. I’ll see you soon anyway.”

Hearing the word Adele, Mirazen nodded, then paused to stare at me.

What was wrong with the conversation I just had?

While thinking about it, I realized the problem with Miragen’s words and laughed.

“You call the Archduke by name?”

“…Ah, somehow it happened.”

“I’m envious because I made so many friends without knowing it. Adrian and Adele too. Did you come all the way here?”

It was like that when I thought of it in my head, but now when we call each other by name, it seems to have come out of our mouths.

I don’t think there’s any need to look around. It’s not something to hide, what a big deal to call it by name.

It was just proof that they were close to each other.

However, Mirazen looked at me for a moment and said, perhaps thinking that it was a little special.

“Would you like to call me over?”

“Your Highness the Princess.”

“…You don’t call me by name?”

“As you said earlier, isn’t it your Highness the Princess?”

To put it bluntly, Adrian was also a saint and Adele was a grand duke, but neither I nor the girls cared much about that status.

However, it was clear that it was a contradictory feeling.

To feel the satisfaction of being close to each other while trying to distance yourself.

I knew I had to stop at some point, but I couldn’t decide when.

“Well, I also think it’s uncomfortable to be called Confucius forever.”

Raising her head at the sudden voice, Mirazen said that while trembling slightly as if embarrassed.

Did it bother you that you were calling someone else by their first name?

Hey, he’s the type to put his life on the line from the start, but it seemed like he was starting to call me by his first name.

“It’s okay to call me by my name from now on. Wouldn’t it be better if it was the imperial palace, but wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to treat each other as Confucius or Princess even though they were outside like this?”

“Not very uncomfortable.”

“…uh, I thought it was uncomfortable.”

When I was speechless, a smirk leaked out at the hesitant look.

Calling miragen as miragen might be a bit difficult for me.

Calling people by their first names isn’t difficult, because Mirazen… was a special person in many ways.

It’s a problem that I often called him by his first name in the past.

If I hadn’t had that much experience, I would have called without hesitation.

The name Miragen was a name that reminded me of so many things.

Like memories you don’t want to recall. Anyway, I didn’t want to call Miragen by name right away.

After a little more time passes and my mind calms down to some extent.

Wouldn’t it be okay if I called you by my first name?

Certainly not now.

When I called her to tell her to the end, Mirazen pursed her lips in disapproval.

If you call me by name later, I’m a little excited to see what kind of reaction you’ll get.

Are you ashamed of it, or are you just taking it for granted?

Of course, the Miragen I know would pretend to be fine on the outside but would be very shy on the inside.

It felt like we were together because we liked that.

It’s just that it was like that when I was a lover with her.

#

When Adrian saw Mirajen, he started pouring out his anger like I was about to do.

Adele was slightly intrigued by the way she asked if she had any other thoughts and why she came from this dangerous place.

“Sometimes you must be angry.”

“Because they are friends. You seem to be a little more comfortable with your friends.”

“Have you ever been mad at me?”

“I do not know. I didn’t do anything to make you angry.”

Adrian was especially comfortable with Mirajan.

I think it’s probably because he’s a friend I met when I was young, but I’m very surprised to see him getting angry.

Seeing Mirajen struggling with Adrian, she smiled lightly.

The image of the princess being haunted by the saintess, where else could we see this kind of image?

“So you really came for the artifact? You know how dangerous it is.”

“Sorry. Still, I have a record, but I can’t stop trying. is not it?”

“Knowing I’m here, I’d rather just ask.”

“Should we leave it alone in the church? If you say it was done in the imperial family, you won’t be able to say much.”

It was funny to say that to a saint who is the representative of the church, but

Adrian valued Mirazen more than the Church.

Even after hearing such words, I can’t help but feel more worried about Miragen.

I think that the reason she is a saint is probably because of that kind of attitude.

Usually, when you become friends with Mirazen, you’ll think of using her.

In the past, Mirajen and I had asked to introduce Adrian when we were lovers.

Maybe it was because he thought that if he met the saintess, there would be another solution, but Mirazen remembers that he put a lot of thought into that request.

It was only later that I found out that the biggest reason Adrian didn’t want it was,

Mirajen and Adrian are similar to each other, so I wonder if that’s how we became friends.

Adele just watched them quietly.

There was no friend like that for her.

Although there were subordinates like Bunta and Lotos, it was a colleague and subordinate relationship, so it was not an equal relationship.

Maybe I’m jealous of you

As it is not always possible to accurately determine Adele’s intentions, there was no way to know unless you asked directly.

“So, should I stay here?”

Adele turned her gaze to the paladins around her.

It was right to establish a base here, but there was some time to spare while other priests and paladins investigated the wizard.

In other words, it means that you can do at least walking around here.

I was also interested in the artifact Mirazen talked about.

Even if it’s not an artifact I need to secure, wouldn’t it be true that I’m naturally interested in it as much as I’ve used it?

“I plan to get around in a carriage. The tower here is also a tower, but there are many places in the depths.”

“Then shouldn’t I go too? It’s bothering me.”

“If you don’t, you don’t have to follow me. I have no intention of making you uncomfortable.”

After saying that, Adele smiled for a moment, shaking her head and pursed her lips.

“I should have said it earlier. If you don’t keep an eye on it, you’ll feel anxious.”

After saying that, her gaze reached Mirajen and Adrian, who were still together.

Miragen had been scolded one-sidedly until earlier, but now they were just laughing at each other as if they were talking about something else.

The gaze looking at them was a bit cold, so Adele blinked for a while and muttered softly.

“…but I can’t send it alone.”

“Then we should all go together.”

As much as he followed Adrian in the first place, Adrian was with him.

Of course, I had no intention of leaving Miragen alone, and since Adele said she would follow, the four of us would have to move.

As I was walking toward the carriage, Adele suddenly saw me and opened her mouth.

“By the way, how do I sit in the carriage?”

The moment I opened my mouth thinking it was a trivial question,

The gaze pouring down on me made me speechless and choking.

Mirazen, who was talking to Adrian, looked at me.

Adrian, who will surely not be able to see, and Adele.

All of them just stared at me as if they were waiting for my answer.

In the subtle silence, Adele asked with a soft smile after blinking her eyes for a moment.

“I wonder what you think. How would you like to sit?”

After going through several regressions, I thought I had found answers to many questions.

I figured out the answer to what was called a difficult problem, and I thought I had reached my own level when it came to wisdom.

Maybe it was my misunderstanding.

Because I couldn’t open my mouth to this difficult problem in front of me.
