16 16 Ive been asking for Huuta! (1/2)

”What do you mean, out of the princess's plan?

Crossing her arms, Futa twisted her head.

Does this mean that the attack on Corona is part of Lilac's plan?

If so, what does he want with it?

The source of the rumor is the princess, right? Well, I don't think it can be traced.

And who sent the assassin?

If anything, it was Futa-sama who defeated the assassin.

I'm sure you're not the only one.

It's a great trust.

I'm sure you'll agree. I'm not afraid to do whatever it takes to get what I want. Maid, you said so in the beginning. You said you'd do everything you could.

”I see. ......

I'm not sure what to do.

Corona glanced at him.

Do you not like the princess anymore?

No, not at all.

”What?　I misread you.

You did this because you thought I could live up to your trust, didn't you?　Then there's no reason to blame me.

...... Wow. Well, sure?　He said with a smug look on his face, ”I'm sure Futa can handle that.

Did you ask him?

”I asked him. I asked him if he knew that Futa-sama was that strong.

Oh, dear.” Corona cowered.

I'm sorry for not telling you.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that.　Don't you think?

No, the ...... princess would have told you if she thought it was necessary, wouldn't she?

I'm not sure if it's just the maids or if it's ...... something that doesn't add up. I'm so angry I'm going to peel an orange.

Please stop, I can't finish it.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

”Mr. Futa...

Hmm?

You're being used completely, is that okay?　It's not that I don't like you a little bit.

Use. ......

It's true that Futa was told by Lilac that he didn't have to do anything.

It is true that Futa was told by Lilac that he did not have to do anything, but he had to fight off assassins .......

However, Lilac didn't send the assassins directly, and even if Futa complained, he would just get an apology and say ”I'm sorry for my mistake.

In the first place, Futa had no intention to complain about it.

It was thanks to Lilac that he was now alive and with Corona.

She was the first person who was happy with his sword.

I have the eyes to tell if she's lying or not.

Every time we meet, it's as if she's telling me she likes me.

Her feelings are working on me like a body blow.

So now, when she tells me I'm being used...

I don't care if I'm being used.

”Boo-hoo.

”...... just.

Yeah, just.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

...... It's a bit presumptuous to compare me to you, but... I've been thinking.

What's that?

The ...... princess is probably all alone, too.

When Corona finished peeling the orange, she put the fruit knife on the table and turned around.

”...... Why do you think that?

No, it's just... You can tell by the way they fight.

Futa's swordsmanship is ”imitation”.

It's not your opponent's swordsmanship, but your opponent's trajectory.

I don't know what he was thinking when he was training.

What did he focus on?

Where did he have talent and where did he fill in with hard work?

And.

From the way he trains and the menu, it's easy to see what kind of fight he's working towards.

It was a trail of his efforts that only Futa could understand.

”I can sense it. You're a princess. ”I can sense that you, princess, are constantly honing your swordsmanship with the expectation of fighting alone.

”......

That's not what a fencer does. You'll need to be able to react to a one-on-many fight, a surprise attack, or a leap from a blind spot. They are trained to be able to react to such things. Among other things. ......
