What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?

Ignoring the flight of my skirt, I hurried along the corridor of the castle.

Jerome’s life is in danger!

Could Seria have really made Jerome…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa! If I had been earlier to stop Seira… No, if only I had exercised a firmer att.i.tude towards Jerome right from the beginning, things would not have proceeded to this stage!

Nooooooo! What should I do if Jerome really died?

I ran straight into the knights’quarters in the castle. Because I had been visiting Jerome virtually every day,I could find his room even with both eyes closed.

I ran forward while out of breathe.

Right, I seemed to have read of such a scene from the episodic novel published on the daily newspaper – where the main character Calounda received news of the death of her lover Knight Kreuz from a hail of arrows by enemies. Casting aside everything, Calounda rushed to be at the side of her lover, but Kreuz died after swearing a love of eternity to her. Unbeknownst to everyone, Calounda was pregnant with Kreuz’s child… Then the tale developed on the next episode.

Uwuu, this didn’t bode well! Not to mention that there’s no child in my tummy! If there happened to be one, the one who would be most surprised must be me myself!

I reached Jerome’s room in confusion and opened its door without even knocking, das.h.i.+ng in.

The bed and everywhere had been covered in rose petals.

Jerome lied on the bed, his hands laid across his chest with his eyes closed.

I had never seen such a calm-looking Jerome, and was as if struck by lightning.

Was I too late…

“Jerome! Jerome!”

I fell onto Jerome’s body, clutching his shoulder and chest.

“Uwaaaaah! Why are you gone so quickly? Don’t die! Jerome!”

Just as I was crying with fluids all over my face, screaming ‘Don’t die, Jerome’ –

“Finally, you’re being honest with your feelings, Glinda.”

“Uh?”

The sound of this horrid voice must be…

“Being so charismatic and charming, I’d known of your thoughts since a long time ago.”

Jerome suddenly sat up.

Even though his head and neck had been covered in bandages, he looked very vigorous and healthy. His nose poked upwards in a look of frivolity.

What was worse was that his hand rounded my waist…

“Hey, what are you idling about for? Your most beloved resurrected for you, so you should be giving an emotional kiss at this moment, right?”

“So… You’re just deceiving me?”

What resurrection! Wasn’t he just living vivaciously all this time?

“It’s your own fault for being so cold so that I have to arrange for this romantic stage. You should have realised by now your true feelings?”

“Whoa! Stop!”

Even though this fellow was all bound in bandages, he was apparently full of energy, being able to hold me down onto the disgusting bed filled with rose petals.

“I, I hate you the most!”

“You’ve been using male p.r.o.nouns(1) since just now, is that a custom of Winstoria?”

Jerome ignored my protests and leaned his face forward.

Then, he reached for the b.u.t.tons in my clothes, attempting to pull my clothes apart – wahwahwah! All’s lost if I got uncovered to be male here!

The more important thing was that I did not wish to be stripped by a man!

I shoved Jerome away with all my strength, got down from the bed and rushed to the door.

But, the door which had been unlocked earlier wouldn’t budge no matter how much I twisted at its handle.

The door had been locked! Could this be the act of Jerome’s boy servant?

That fellow looked so innocent, but was actually in cahoots with this delusional schemer! Disgusting!

“I must inform you that there’s no use in screaming. At this time, everyone has gone outside and the bunk’s completely empty. You don’t have to be aware of anybody else, so just be honest to your feelings.”

I could hardly even detect Jerome coming from behind me, grabbing both my shoulders and whispering proudly into my ear, an act which gave me goose b.u.mps all over.

“I, I am horn-estly refusing you!”

d.a.m.n, I bit my tongue again. Looked like there was no way to display my strength.

Jerome’s face relaxed, displaying one that seemed to say:’you’re really unbelievably cute’, saying

“Alright, alright, I understand it now, the sound of your screaming voice crying ‘don’t die~~~’ had been etched deeply within me.”

He pulled my arm and dragged me towards the bed.

I held onto the door handle for my dear life but… Waaah! This guy was apparently in a bandaged heap of wounds, but his strength was so great –

“N, No! If you’re going to pull so hard…”

My hand was pulled away from the handle, and like a weak helpless piggy being dragged off to the market, I was dragged by him.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! If this kept up, my chast.i.ty would be in danger!

“Stop~~~ My chest is only as big as a little red bean, and I’m also just an inexperienced little boy(2), not interesting at all~~~”

“Does the people of Winstoria call virgins ‘little boys’? That’s fine, just leave it to the experienced me!”

“Noooo~~~”

I got pushed back onto the bed by Jerome with my mind in a blur, all the while blaring warnings of ‘danger to chast.i.ty’, ‘loss of virginity’, ‘national criminal’, and ‘execution’.

At that moment –

A heavy knock boomed at the door, causing it to vibrate violently.

W, What’s going to happen this time?
