At a table at KumaBear Restaurant, Volte, Rossa-ojou, and I took a seat and started our discussion. Shingi and Maya were in the kitchen, preparing dinner.
Volte and I talked about what happened today with Rossa-ojou. As she listened, the more her eyebrows furrowed as she slowly realized something.
“Taya, Prince Volte… This is bad news. Prince Fox is getting more and more obsessed with Taya. On top of being cute, his healing ability is much too intriguing to pass up.”
“He’s obsessed? What do you mean I’m being cute?”
“He’s obsessed with Taya, you say? And yes, Taya, everything about you is adorable—but because he’s cute, Fox wants to do cruel things?”
To his words, Rossa-ojou nodded.
“Hu-m, I’m not yet certain of the deeper truth yet though. The story you told me just now, but what I’m aware of is a similar story within the game…”
“Rossa-ojou, please tell us.”
“Rossa-jou, please.”
“Alright. Well, then. Right now, Prince Volte and Taya are lovers, and the love goes both ways, right? The deeper the love between both of you, the more it’ll happen. Taya did raise Prince Fox’s flag, so… the more Prince Fox is obsessed with Taya, the more he’ll target him. Though, what he did this time is truly heartless.”

“I see…”
Then, Volte fell into contemplation and remained silent.
“Say, Rossa, I haven’t been meeting with Prince Fox, but is just being careful not enough?”
“With today’s incident… I don’t think being careful will be enough. Prince Fox will try harder to steal Taya away from you, he may even use even more cowardly tricks. That said, I do have a good idea—would you like to hear it?”
To that, Volte and I nodded.
In Shingi’s hands are fried shrimp, in between bread, dripping with tartar sauce. Today’s fried shrimp is smothered in tartar sauce, which is how I like to eat it.
While eating, we listened to Rossa-ojou’s “good idea”.
“Rossa-jou, please don’t make me do anything too bad to Taya.”
“I won’t, you’ll be tasked to do something pretty easy.”
With a sly grin, she told us her plan.
After she finished—within the walls of KumaBear Restaurant, I raised my voice.
“Haah?! You want me to become Rossa’s maid?! That’s impossible, I’ve never been trained to do that either!”
“That’s alright. You can just walk behind me without saying anything; and if we see a nobleman, I’ll be the one to greet him. Taya, you could just keep your head down and not say a word. It’ll be fine!”
–Is it truly that easy though?
“Kuku… Taya, as a maid… Being a maid is pretty good.”
“Then, it’s decided. Itadakimasu-!”
Rossa-ojou happily clapped her hands. Then, she bit into the freshly made shrimp fry on the table.
–Hm? Wait a minute, don’t maids… as they’re mostly women, usually wear skirts?
“Rossa-ojou, do you mean that I’ll be wearing women’s clothing?”
“Hnnn, so crunchy, this ebi fry is delish!—That’s right, we’ll have to prepare a maid uniform for you. Prince Volte, Taya and I have a similar appearance, so please prepare a magic tool that could make him look like a white rabbit beastman.”
Lute nodded, no matter how you look at it, it seems like they’re having fun.
“A magic tool, alright. Let’s meet up again here tomorrow. Will Rossa-jou be bringing Taya to the academy the day after tomorrow?”
“Eh, academy?”
“To the academy, hm? Understood. Also, we’ll have to talk about breaking off the engagement sooner.”
Without listening to my opinion, they happily moved the conversation forward.
T/N: Oh my :3ccc fanart from yours truly. I’ll post all the fanart I’ve made to CG’s discord server once I’m done translating this novel so >w0)///
