Due to the crushing defeat at the defensive line, Chris hastily retreated to a city in front of the defensive line and lost a lot of troops.

The dragon knights also lost a lot due to the front and rear attacks.

This is arguably the first time that Chris has been hit so hard since he became emperor.

But it seems that the orcs did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but chose to be stationed safely on the defense line that originally belonged to humans.

"Chris, don't be so depressed. Hagen comforted Chris as he looked at Chris, who had been sitting at the table since he woke up in the morning. "If it were me, the loss would have been even greater, and you've done a good job. ”

"But that's my reason after all. Chris's hand slammed on the table, and a lot of water spilled from the cup.

"It's me who is too light on the enemy, I originally thought that the beasts would only charge savagely, but I didn't expect them to use such a perfect strategy this time. ”

"You can't blame you, no one knows that there will be a flammable liquid in the orcs that can't be seen when sprinkled on the ground like water, and can be stored for a long time. ”

"But it turned out that we lost, we lost the defense, and that made me explain to my father. ”

After all, are you the emperor or is your father the emperor?

"Since you lost it, wouldn't it be nice to get it back?"

"But how...... Ariel?" Hearing a voice coming from outside the door, Chris looked at Ariel in surprise.

"Why are you here?"

"Who told me not to come?" Although she was already a marquis, Ariel still had no rules as usual.

"What about Anne, didn't they come along?"

Ariel suddenly put on a squirming look: "Actually, people rushed here alone because they were worried about you." ”

"Please be honest. ”

"Well, actually, we were going to come, but I flew here in advance with magic, and Anne and they arrived soon. Ariel said as she cut her hair. "But I didn't expect you to lose, Chris. ”

Although I was ready to be ridiculed, I was told so by Ariel. Chris still feels very shameless.

"This time the orcs seem to be much smarter, and they have begun to use stratagems, and I have underestimated the enemy. But Ariel, don't tell my parents. ”

"Hey, Chris is unexpectedly a very shy man?"

"Anyway, I'll take it back, and this time I won't take it lightly. "Now Chris always feels like everyone is laughing at him.

――――――――――――――--Cutting ――――――――――――――――――――――

Inside the imperial capital.

After buying freshly baked barbecue for Frey, Ahri sneaks into an alley.

In the past few days, Bai Yu entrusted the owl to bring more and more news, and first gave himself an ultimatum to be an important person in the empire.

Immediately after that, Bai Yu asked himself to find a blonde girl with two ponytails. And bento her.

There is no doubt that White Feather is referring to Ariel.

But Ahri didn't want to accomplish this task at all.

Then, a few days ago, the task was changed to follow the expedition to the front line.

But because it was only Chris and Hagen who went that time, Ariel and his party didn't go with them, so they gave up.

I don't know what the mission will be this time.

The tail appeared, and the owl that had been hovering in the air quickly landed in front of his eyes.

With a heavy heart, he took the note from the owl's feet, and Ahri looked at it carefully.

"The Savage Earth defense line has been breached, you don't need to go to the battlefield anymore, and the plan has someone to replace you. Now your mission is to disguise Chris, who has returned to the capital to borrow troops after defeat. and look for an opportunity to assassinate his sister. ”

Did Chris fail?

Although she was a little surprised, Ahri didn't have any doubts.

His brother's wisdom, Ahri felt that Chris was still a little worse than him.

The problem is the task itself.

Now his task is to disguise himself as Chris, and someone has replaced him.

Could it be said?

Thinking of Bai Yu's next plan, Ahri was scared into a cold sweat.

If he wants to assassinate Anne in disguise as Chris, then with his brother's character, he will definitely send someone to disguise himself as Anne or someone else to assassinate Chris.

Chris could be in danger.

Although he doesn't have much to do with Chris, Ahri doesn't want this somewhat sullen emperor to be confessed like this.

It seems that the only plan now is to tell Ariel quickly and get them to get to Chris.

But before that. Gotta get some illusion first.

While the owl was staring at him motionlessly, the dagger that pretended to be in the hand of Ahri, who had replied, was thrown. The bento was directly on the owl's head.

Immediately afterward, Ahri, who had turned back into a big-tailed orange fox, hurried towards the palace.

―――――――――――――――――― cutting ――――――――――――――――――――

It's late at night.

But Chris still hadn't slept, and at the moment he was standing in front of the door of Ariel's room in a complicated mood.

Just as she was about to go out to patrol the army in the afternoon, Ariel suddenly sneaked a note into herself and quickly ran away.

It can't be a love letter, right?

At that time, Chris's mood was as apprehensive as if a little virgin had been confessed.

Finding an excuse to avoid Hagen, Chris secretly opened the note.

Then he was really stunned.

Could it be that what I just thought has become a reality?

The contents of the note. It was: At twelve o'clock in the evening, Chris, you come to my room alone, no one is allowed to say it?

This, is this a sign of flag?

At that time, Chris wondered if it was Ariel's prank, if he actually went. When the time comes, she is yelling at what to catch perverts and the like, and her reputation will really be lost.

It seems that Ariel really dares to do this.

But Chris didn't want it to be a prank.

So, his ambivalent heart led him to come to Ariel's door at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Knocked on the door with mixed feelings, and Chris was ready for a shout coming from inside the door.

"The door isn't closed, come in. ”

An ambiguous voice from inside the door came from Ariel, which was deliberately suppressed.

Could this ...... Is it really what you think?

Chris now feels like the world is particularly unreal.

Trembling and pushing open the door with both hands, Chris saw Ariel, wearing only a thin nightgown, standing by the window and looking at the moon outside.

Really, just a pajamas!

Pajamas!

I didn't even wear a nightdress. Chris had even faintly seen the fat under the pajamas.

There was a faint flow of heat from his nose, and Chris hurriedly covered it. "That, Ariel, it's better to wear a nightdress when it's cold at night." ”

"I'm wearing this on purpose today, or do you not like it?"

"That. I went out first. Although this is already a tease of red fruit, Chris thinks that it may be Ariel who has taken some kind of medicine again.

After a violent struggle inside, Chris still felt that he couldn't be sorry for her.

"Chris, am I so unattractive?" Just as Chris turned to leave, Ariel hugged Chris from behind.

The soft body mixed with the unique fragrance of women, Chris almost couldn't hold back.

"Chris, actually, the first time I saw you, I liked you. ”

"Huh?" Are you dreaming? Chris's hand pinched his waist desperately.

Sharp pain came. Chris only then realized that it wasn't a dream.

"It's true!" said Ariel, who was in her arms, seemed a little upset. "Don't you like me?"

"Uh, that?" Chris hesitated for a moment, "I like it." ”

"Then you kiss me. Ariel smiled casually at the corner of her mouth, then closed her eyes.

Chris is a little confused now, is this all true?

Although he did admit that he liked Ariel, he didn't expect to be confessed by her first.

Just when Chris was about to kiss down, Chris who had always felt that this was a little unreal suddenly discovered something abnormal.

Let's not mention why Ariel said such a thing tonight, but Chris found out when he was about to kiss him.

This Ariel's pupils are blue.

It should be red. The blue one could only be a puppet.

Could it be that Ariel uses dolls to pit herself?

No, it's not. Obviously, Ariel was already enjoying the two-person world with Anne before. How could it be possible to come and see yourself all of a sudden?

And Ariel always came with Anne and them.

Thinking of Annie's assassination before, Chris's pupils contracted sharply.

The golden shield opened violently, and at the same time, a dagger slammed into the shield.

"Who are you!" The moment the assassin's dagger was shattered by the shield, Chris restrained the identical guy in front of him with both hands.

However, it seems that your question is very unqualified.

"I didn't expect you to find such a small place. Blunder. Ariel in front of her smiled resolutely.

Oh no, she's going to kill herself!

Thinking of the previous assassins' deaths, Chris hurriedly grabbed the mouth of the assassin in front of him.

But it's still a step too late.

"Ha-sama, I'm sorry......"

It seems that at the moment of defeat, the assassin bit something in his mouth. After saying this, he fell limply to the ground, and soon became a fox.

Chris, who had just recovered from the fright of almost being bento, let out a long sigh, and sure enough, if his head was really hot at that time, he would have been bento by now.

How could Ariel do such a thing?

Wait, Ariel.

If an Assassin comes to assassinate him, then maybe someone will go to the Empire.

Chris didn't care about the dead fox on the ground, and hurriedly ran out.
