"" Huh?

Yumina and Lindsay in front of me showed me a pocan face and stopped moving. Yeah, well, that would be a reaction, wouldn't it?

"What... and Mr. Winter Night? Excuse me, what do you mean? The person Sister Lili is looking for..."

"Female......"?

In the meantime, I tried to tell the truth I poked at only two people close to Empress Lilliel.

I haven't informed him yet. I mean, I don't know how to let you know, so I thought I'd borrow some wisdom from you two.

"I think the person you were dealing with was a man in Sister Lili's story..."

"[Mirage], such phantom magic was used, or something?

"No, I'm not. I used to dress like a man."

You don't even think about entering a female frame and then dressing up as a man to participate.

I didn't know because I checked the entrance before I went into the costume room. If I masked it, it would inhibit recognition. Looks like the women from that country I joined with knew.

"I checked with the person and admitted it. He wore a black mask and joined us as a man."

"Why would you do that?

"Hmmm...... According to him, he didn't want to wear a flickering dress or anything. You said you were embarrassed."

I don't know what to be ashamed of. Each person has a different point to be ashamed of, so I can't say that this isn't all in person.

"And the..., Mr. Black Mask, who was dressed as a man, is..."

"Empress Listis of the Triharan Divine Empire. You see, of the country the Senate has been cowering, it was false with the Second Prince..."

"Oh. When Mr. Ende was being manipulated... I see, so..."

Empress Listis was born as the Empress of the Triharan Divine Empire, but was falsely raised with the Prince in order to deceive the eyes of the Senate, which at the time thought but still ruled Triharan.

Because he was raised as a man for a long time, his personality is also refreshing like he cracked bamboo in one way or another. In my case, I have been dressed as a man since the first time I met him, but he was certainly a princess who was a real prince who seemed to appear in a girl's comic book.

If I show up like that, I don't think I'm a woman, even if I'm not wearing a mask. That's what men do and talk about. rough, not in the sense of being a gentleman, in the aspect of

Oh, from the feeling of a man, is it embarrassing to wear a flickering dress? Is that why you're here?

"Surely, in the war against the Primura kingdom, you participated as commander, didn't you?

"Yeah, yeah. You must be used to rough things."

By the way, Crown Prince Loufeus, the brother of Princess Listis. He is a scholar-skinned young man studying magic engineering with a hobby, the exact opposite of his sister.

This crown prince is set to be engaged to Princess Berlietta of the Kingdom of Strain, inspired by the race for the Demonic Passenger Car Aether Vehicle.

My brother was followed by my sister, and Emperor Triharan may have thought...

"Is it definitely you?

"I knew about the handkerchief, and I'm pretty sure he did."

I wish it had been a mistake. The confusing story has become even more confusing.

"Yep... this is..."

"What shall we do, .."

Yumina and Linze face each other. I know how you feel.

"Well, I think it's one in two. Tell Empress Lilliel this honestly or not. I couldn't find it in the end, and I can pull the curtain on this love..."

"But... I don't know if I'm going to end people's love on my own. I thought it was Sister Lili who decided what to do, including that."

Right? I think so too. It doesn't matter what happens.

But to Yumina's remarks like that, neighbor Linze looks difficult for some reason.... What the fuck?

"No... I'm just curious... Dr. Lil also writes your work..."

"What... over there?

"It is Dr. Lil's masterpiece, The Knights of the Roses, which depicts various romantic patterns in the Knights composed solely of men, but its exotic work is also in the series.

I'm putting it out, is. "Lily SS" focuses on female-only Kingsguard units in the works... "

Oh, what's that? Were you even writing that kind of spin-off? He did write a script for the play, and he's got a wide range of hands...

"A romantic play between a riddled senior female knight and a new American girl knight who came out of the country...... what, it even depicts a rather profound expression of affection...... I was wondering if there's any chance I might want that kind of relationship with my teacher..."

She had a slightly plundered voice on the ladder in the second half, but when she heard Linze explain, Yumina's face bopped and became red. I'd like to ask you for an hour or so about what you imagined, but let's just put that aside.

Just because you write a piece like that doesn't mean you have that hobby preference. Well, I don't think you'd like it or write it if you weren't interested.

How do I follow up with her when I find out that her first love (?) is of the same sex...... I can't think of any follow-up words at all.

"In the meantime, you may not believe us if we line up our words. Should we meet each other in person?"

"Oh, yeah, right. If you actually talk, you'll know who you were looking for..."

Well, I'm pretty much sure. With a little bit of misgivings, I removed my smartphone from my nostalgia to contact Empress Lilliel.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Look, I really think they found you!? So, dude, where was who!?historical

"Well, calm down, calm down. Why don't you sit down? Quiet."

"I don't treat horses!

Calm Princess Lilliel, who stood up by rattling her chair with Gatan. Are you okay, this...... Turn your gaze to Yumina and Linze next door. We both had a pulled laugh, but we can't stop now.

This is in the courtyard of a royal individual, within the castle of Leafleath, and none of them come in on their own without saying no, even though they are family members. So I don't have to worry about someone talking to me, just in case.

"Uh, can I bring you here for now?

"Huh!? Whoa, whoa, here!? Okay, but my heart's ready!

Empress Lilliel rushes to my word and becomes horny and behaving suspiciously.... I hope I'm not shocked... No, are you going to take it?

Speak to Yumina and Linze in a whisper.

"This... I figured I should let you know the truth first? If he told you, it would be damaging, right?

"Yeah...... That's true, but..."

"Do you believe that, huh?

I'm floating to see. In my current state, does it just sound like a joke to you to say that?

"I think it's better than we think because we should have that kind of tolerance..."

"Then do you want to bring them? It's not good to keep her waiting over there."

"Her?"

I connect the [gate], daring to ignore Empress Lilliel, who leans her neck small to our words. Originally, to prevent metastasis magic, there are castle boundaries here, but I have asked Empress Lilliel to speak and disarm them beforehand.

"Oh, you finally picked me up. I'm tired of waiting."

The person who came through the [gate] in front of us stepped down again to the land of the leaflet leash, holding with both hands the hem of the dress that he could not wear.

When we met, it was short. The blonde hair is also a little stretched out, and she's wearing thinner makeup, more feminine than usual. That's how we asked your maids. [M]

A light blue princess dress that is never flashy, but beautifully matches her. The two maids who followed me look like a doorman in the back. I'm in the mood.

You always said you wouldn't dress like these women. Does that make you feel better?

"Er...? Who?"

Not the man I wanted to meet, but a woman I had no idea came out of [the gate] and Empress Lilliel, who was a kyoton, asked us.

"Er, this one is the Triharan Divine Empire of the Western Continent, its first empress, Listis Les Triharans. So, this is the Oriental Continent, the First Empress of the Reef Reese Empire, Lilliel Reem Reef Reef"

When I introduce the two, the Empress Listis holds the hem of her dress and greets her at Cartesy first.

"Thank you for inviting me, Empress Lilliel. The Triharan Divine Empire is the First Empress, Listis Les Triharans. Greetings."

"... What, an invitation? Oh, uh, the First Empress of the Reef Lease Empire, Lilliel Reem Reef Lease, is. Welcome to Leaf Lease."

Empress Liliel, who keeps her doubts pressed and answers them with a cartesey as well. But those eyes, what do you mean? And it was coming and going between Kyoro and us.

Yumina speaks out as if she had decided to do so to Empress Lilliel.

"Sister Lili, listen carefully, will you? This is the Black Mask."

"................................?

As if time had stopped, a short voice of doubt leaks from the mouth of the often hardened Empress Lilliel. What are you talking about? I think I'm going to hear the voice of my heart.

Susus, and Princess Liliel approached us with a small voice.

"You know, the 'black mask' I'm looking for is a guy..."

"He said he was dressed as a man when he was at the party. Well, there's a lot going on."

"Once again ~. You're not gonna get in that hand, Lindsey. Is there such an entertainment novel?"

No, I have that... I put down Empress Lilliel, who denied it but pulled it a little, and I took what I had kept from her out of my pocket.

"Princess Listis. You think this Empress Lilliel took care of you at the party the other day? This handkerchief belongs to you, right?

"Huh?... Oh! That was her then! I didn't know that because it was different from the way I felt when I was wearing a mask!... is the same because I was wearing a mask too? Well, I don't know."

"...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

After a longer silence than earlier, she raises her voice as if Empress Lilliel squeezed it out of the bottom of her belly. It seems frozen with a surprising look at the reality of the shock in front of you.

"Here, Your Majesty... You okay, girlfriend? It's solidified with some amazing shapes..."

Princess Liliel asks me worried about her reaction. [M] Yeah, I don't know about that face as a woman, but I don't think I can help it if I amuse her, so let's go through there. It still seemed like a lot of damage.

"Well... Sister Lili always assumed that Master Listis was a man, so she was surprised..."

"Uh... I'm sorry about that... I really don't like dresses or anything. I snuck into the men's clothes that day and joined them. He got angry later."

Oh, sure it was Lord Zerolik. of the caretaker of the Princess Listis.

"This dress, your Majesty the Duke, is your offer, isn't it? I've been very impressed. Damn...... I have no idea why the women in the world want to wear these flirty clothes. Easy to move clothes would be more convenient."

I have also called His Majesty Emperor Triharan 'in feminine attire' about this invitation. If you don't know 'woman' at a glance, you're in trouble.

Well, I've already accomplished my purpose, so I don't have a problem getting dressed.

"But it suits you well. Very nice."

"Really? I don't know for myself."

In the wake of Yumina's words, Empress Listis gently lifts the hem of her dress.

Is it difficult to move? Let Princess Listis sit in the garden chair for now. And Princess Liliel, who remained stiffened by shock. It's time for you to come back.

"I'm thinking I have to get used to it...... My brother got engaged, didn't he? How about I find someone soon, and my father's so loud?"

Oh, I knew it. His Majesty the Emperor Triharan was a long time away from the ball.

But my daughter was dressed as a man. There's no way I can find someone. No, well, it's like they found it in a way...

"Well, Master Listis doesn't have a favorite 'man', does he?

Ask the Question of Princess Listis in a far-fetched narrative that Lindsay contains some of.

"Um, I don't know, because I've always lived as a man. I'm not sure about those emotions, I guess. Girls are just easier to understand. We're still comfortable together. Men have a lot of trouble dealing with ambition, pride and all that."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm the only man on this scene, so maybe I can't help it.

"That's why I followed Princess Liliel, who was in trouble at that time. Because he was a typical tyrant."

"No, because even real men can't get into help in those situations. I was wondering if Master Listis did a great job. I invited you to thank me today..."

Yumina makes a troubled voice when she looks sideways at Empress Lilliel, who is white as her soul has fallen out. Were you so shocked?

"You've never been so surprised. Although I can often still mistake him for being a man. It's like Shannon from Lily Parent Yurishin."

Empress Lilliel reacts to the words of Empress Listis, flattering. Yumina and Linze also looked surprised.

Yurishin or Shannon? Who, that?

"What, Master Listis, do you know 'Lily Parents'?!?

"What do you know, a book from Brunhild? It was pretty funny and I read it all at once. Oh, I don't have many books here."

Princess Listis answers Yumina's words with a laugh.

From us? Speaking of which, you exchanged all kinds of books by saying to understand the cultures of the countries over there, like Triharan and Primura.

I honestly didn't know what to pick up, so I left it to someone else. Sure enough, it was Fam from "The Library" and...

I have eyes for Lindsay on her face like 'Ah'.

"... What's 'Yuri Shin'? Title of the book?

Don't His Majesty know? "The Lily SS"... "

"... oh!

Turning again towards Linze, he was blatantly distracted from his gaze. Wait! I'm the one who left it to you, but why did you put in this unfortunate princess piece!?

I don't know because Linze is a fan of hers. But is that a common book!?

"Shannon is the protagonist girl who appears in that 'SS of Lilies'. I can get out of the country and help the Rin Knight get tangled up by the bad guys. So, I go to the SS exam venue, and I find out that the person is a senior female knight, and I'm devastated. It would be similar to the current Empress Lilliel, wouldn't it?

"No, you mean similar..."

That's the person who wrote it... Yumina and Linze were laughing like me.

"I see, you liked it... It's a rare genre here..."

"Whatever the genre is, interesting things are funny. A man or a woman, that's trivial. I guess I can also say it's straight pure love because I can't get caught up in those things"

"Get my will!

Gatang! And, kicking the chair back, Empress Lilliel suddenly rises. Wow, what a surprise! A quieter resurrection!

"You know very well the nature of the work, my lady! Yes, that's where I wanted to draw it! That love has nothing to do with sex, age, race, or identity! Glad you understand!

Empress Liliel and Yumina were amazed at the excitement, but Linze nodded.

"Is Empress Lilliel also a reader of Yurishin? Funny, isn't it, that?"

"Naturally! I wrote it!

"................................?

As if time had stopped, a short voice of doubt leaks from the mouth of the often hardened Princess Listis...... what is this deja vu?

"Uh, right. Actually, this is Lily's SS author, Dr. Lil Riflis."

Tell Empress Listis who she is, as if Linze were sorry for some reason. I mean, are you glad you're rosy about who you are, this. I don't think he'll mind because he said so himself.

"Huh?... really?

"Really, sir."

"Yeah......? What, the empress of a country does that?

"Because there's something I want to write about!

Empress Lilliel surprised me. Put the chair back, Dunn! and stand on it and point your fists at heaven. You're too tense...... I don't think you're the same person who had the dead eye just now. Just get off the chair and pay.

Lindsay leans over to the Pocan Empress of Listis.

"Which characters does Master Listis like,?

"Me? I guess...... Chriselle, whom Shannon admires, is good, but I guess Captain III's" Ice Freesia ". Cool, isn't she?"

"That's a good one! Friesia is going to make a lot of appearances. She's actually... whoa, we can't talk about this yet."

"Hey, I'm curious!? Oh, the mysterious figure with the hood that was out in four volumes tangled, is that it?

"Uh, you know. You're obviously up to something."

"Heh heh. Still a secret ~"

The three of them talk about the work enthusiastically, but it was refreshing for me and Yumina. Yumina knows the work itself, but she doesn't read it to the content.

"Erm...... Does this fit in circles......?

"Oh, huh? Somehow, you didn't have to worry..."

When we saw the three of them talking to each other as if they were best friends for years, we looked at each other. I guess that means one more friendly man. Congratulations...... is that it?

An incoming call enters my nose twisting my neck. When I take it out, it's from Sister Hana Love. About now. We've cleared it all up already.

Even though he's a love god, he's totally helpful...... no, this one wasn't a romantic tangle.

"Yes hello?

"Hey, Pinkie. Just like that."

Yes?
