After homeroom, just as I left the classroom, I heard a girl's
screaming voice coming from the next classroom.
「What? What happened?」
「I don't
know... but it's coming from Confinement King's classroom」
I replied to Shima, who tilted her head, and peered through the open
door into the classroom next door.
The classroom air froze, and everyone stared distantly at the two
figures, all the while showing signs of confusion.
「Even though
you're ugly, don't get carried away!」
The one who slammed the desk while raising her voice is the Third
Favored Princess, Misuzu Kurosawa.
And she grabbed the chest of the boy in front of her, raising her
eyes that normally would be glazed over.
The man, who is stiffening with a startled look on his face like
Takasago right after Shiratori played a trick on her, is the Confinement King.
「What
the...!?」
「...What an
interesting turn of events...」
I couldn't help but look at Shima.
But then, I heard the girls standing near the door whispering to
each other.
「I thought
they seemed to be getting along well lately, but I guess he's too gross for
her?」
「Kimo-jima
just got carried away, didn't he?」
「I thought
she said she liked Kimo-jima」
I don't care what the women that Confinement King won't even touch
say, but that behavior of the Third Favored Princess is inexcusable.
「W-Wait a
minute, Ui-chan!」
As I'm about to step into the classroom, Shima stops me.
「Don't stop
me, Shima!」
「But you have
to understand the situation...」
--There's no such thing as situation!
Just as I am about to raise my voice, someone came out of the
classroom and walked into the corridor.
「Oh, Ui-chan,
Natsumi-chan, what are you doing?」
It's the First Favored Princess, Masaki Haneda.
「What are you
doing? I mean! What's going on here?」
I asked, and the First Favored Princess smiled bitterly.
「Ah, that?
It's like Misuzu-chan feels “it’s not fair”. And she’s being honest about her
desires... Well, I'm not the one who's actually harmed, so it's okay」
I couldn't help but be puzzled.
It is a response that I can't imagine from the First Favored
Princess, who always overreacts to rudeness to the Confinement King.
I wouldn't have been surprised if she had brought out a chainsaw or
something.
「No, it's not
good! I can't allow her to treat the Confinement King like that!」
「Uh... yeah,
Ui-chan may be angry」
At the same time as I frowned at the First Favored Princess's
unnatural tone, Shima let out an exasperated voice next to me.
「Oh, I see」
As First Favored Princess smiled, Shima looks as if she's understood
something. I'm feeling very alienated. I'm the only one out of the loop.
「What the
hell, you guys! Stop acting like you're the only two who understand this!」
「Because...
hey」
「Hey」
「Well, I'll
buy that poor Ui-chan a parfait. There's a new place in front of the station,
right? Let's go there now」
「What are you
waiting for?」
「Sure, sure,
sure. Come on, come on!」
「Wait, wait,
First Favored Princess! Shima!」
The First Favored Princess pulled me by the hand, and Shima pushed
me back, forcing me out of the place.
By the way,
the parfait is delicious. It is Ujikintoki (Green Tea Shaved Ice).
**a
◇ ◇ ◇
「Honestly...
What the hell was that all about?」
After finishing dinner, I opened the door and walked to the room
given to me by the Confinement King.
Tonight is the night I'm going to be loved.
（Hmm,
Confinement King must be wounded. "Babumi[1]" is that what
called? I'll spoil him to my heart's content!） When someone feel motherhood）
As I opened the door in high spirits, I found Ryoko-dono in her
maid's uniform waiting for me.
「Second
Favored Princess, I have a message for you from Master」
「A message?」
「He said
"I'm sorry. I'll pass tonight"」
「W-Whatttttttt!?」
I've been waiting for this day for the past week, and now it's
cancelled.
It would have been fine if it's postponed to tomorrow, but the
Confinement King has another appointment with another girl tomorrow.
「I-Is there something
wrong?」
「No... that's
not」
「Then why?」
「I don't know
the details, but I've been told that he's going to focus on re-training
Misuzu-sama」
「...Re-training
the Third Favored Princess?」
Immediately, the words of the First Mistress flashed through my
mind.
『Ah, that?
It's like Misuzu-chan feels “it’s not fair”. And she’s being honest about her
desires... Well, I'm not the one who's actually harmed, so it's okay』
『Uh... yeah,
Ui-chan may be angry』
（No way, the
Third Favored Princess purposely wanted to be embraced by the Confinement
King...）
「Oh, you jerkkkkkk!
You schemed, Third Favored Princess!」
