After two nights and
three days of exploring Avalon, the team returned to the fort after
successfully defeating the boss found on the sixth layer.
「Captain, it's a great
achievement! The darkness has faded again!」
When they returned, a
soldier called out to them, and Alexis responded, "Oh, that's good to
hear".
The new captain is a
well-known, since Alexis had told the whole fortress about the new captain on
the same day that he revealed himself as the 6th prince.
The soldiers seem to be
more comfortable with their own prince as captain than with a stranger's
princess, and the slacking off that was common in Fransisca's captain time is
not so frequent these days.
「Anyway, I'm going to
take a rest. You can all take your time, too」
After saying this,
Alexis went back inside the fort.

* * *
The long march with no
return left everyone very tired.
Alexis too lay sprawled
out on the bed, snoring and snoring. Just then, there is a knock at his door.
「Mmmm...」
Alexis rolled over, and
then, thud! He fell to the floor.
「Ouch...」
He sits up, rubbing his
bruised lower back.
As he did so, he said
out loud, "Who is it?".
「A-Alexis-sama...」
Only one person has
ever called him that.
「Oh, Fransisca? What's
up?」
As Alexis asks, the
door is opened with a click.
「E-excuse me...」
Fransisca enters the
room quietly, seemingly cleansed, wearing a neat white one-piece dress for
daily use, not an armor or a combat outfit.
「A-Alexis-sama, umm...」
Fransisca is embarrassed
and fidgety, and Alexis says, "Yes, what is it?" while he climbs back
onto the bed.
Seeing Alexis like
this, Fransisca immediately notices.
「Umm, you haven't
changed your clothes yet...?」
「Yeah, I fell asleep.
I'm tired...」
「Eh... Then, w-what are
you going to do tonight then...?」
Fransisca couldn't help
but let out a puzzled voice.
Of course, she had come
to this room with the intention of keeping Alexis company tonight as well.
「We're done for today,
see you tomorrow」
Alexis hugged the
pillow and Fransisca gasped as he said that.
「B-but tomorrow we'll be
back in Avalon...」
「Hencefore, that's too
much work. So, I'm taking tomorrow off. Tell the other guys... Mmm... *Snort*」
Soon after, Alexis
began to sleep again.
「A-Alexis... sama...」
Fransisca's voice had
become quieter. She didn't want to wake him up.
But, still—
（...ugh, it's so
tingly...）
Fransisca also moved
her feet patiently.
Ever since Alexis had
played with her halfway inside Avalon, the tingling had not gone away at all.
When she was concentrating, she could forget about it, but the next thing she
knew, the tingles were swelling up and...
（I-I thought he was
finally going to do it...）
After letting out a
sigh, Fransisca comes back to herself.
「Wait... What did I just
think? No, nooo!」
Fransisca still does
not want to admit it.
But eventually Fransisca
walks over to Alexis and kneels down on the floor.
“Alexis-sama,” she whispered to him.
「If you want to sleep,
I'll be waiting for you. So, tomorrow... you can use me, okay? After all... I'm
your slave...」
She turns red when she
says that much.
（W-w-what did I say...!
I-I'm such an idiot...!）
Fransisca was flustered
by herself even though she had said it herself.
But—
「U-ugh. I can't seem to
get rid of the tingling...」
Not knowing what to do
with herself, she can't help but get teary-eyed.
In the end, although
she doesn't want to admit it... although it's aggravating, she has to realize
that she is looking forward to the night with Alexis.
（Will I be able to sleep
peacefully tonight...?）
Fransisca can only sigh
with disappointment.

The next morning,
Alexis experienced the worst possible wake-up call.
「Oh, I smell sweaty...」
He wakes up early and
frowns at his own body odor.
He feels like blaming
himself for not taking a bath as soon as he returned from Avalon.
To begin with, Alexis
is very careful about the time of taking a bath because of the abnormality
between his legs. He can't enter the bathroom when others are bathing. If he
does so, his dong might be cut down.
（The only time of the
day when it is not crowded is one hour before bedtime...）
Alexis lets out a sigh
with a feeling of dread.
This means he has to
spend the rest of the day with his smelly self and he can't help but feel
depressed.
* * *
Alexis has no choice
but to change his clothes and heads for the canteen to have breakfast.
But then, he wonders if
it is his imagination that the distance between him and the soldiers is a
little too far. No, it is not.
「Good morning... Your
Highness...」
The soldier's greeting
is cheerless. Even their smiles are twitchy.
（I see. Do I smell that
sweaty?）
Alexis felt a little
self-conscious at the thought.
* * *
Did someone tell them?
Anyway, as he exit the
canteen, a voice calls out to him.
「Alex, I have a few
things to say about you today」
As soon as Fatima walks
up to him, he saw that she was dressed in a maid's uniform today. Somehow she
even wears a frilly apron and a headband.
The contrast between
the white of the apron, the color of the blouse, and the navy blue of the skirt
creates a very nice breast pouch. The ribbon add color to her breasts, which
are pushed into her blouse and look as if they were glutinous and bouncy.
「Fatima... Why are you dressed like that!?」
Alexis pointed out unintentionally.
Then Fatima asked.
「Hmm? Is there something wrong?」
