“...And that’s about it, I guess?”
Lena spread out a map of the royal capital on the table and pointed to several locations.
She was showing us the hideouts of the Dawn Alliance, but…
“Isn’t that… too many?”
“So they have more than ten hideouts…?”
“Honestly, this probably isn’t even all of them. I was in a fairly decent position, but it’s not like they told me everything. There are probably more hideouts and safe houses that I don’t know about.”
“And how many does that make in total?”
“Hmmm… including safe houses, maybe around fifty?”
“Fi—…”
The number was beyond imagination. I was completely at a loss for words.
“Among those, where is their main base?”
“Sorry, I don’t know that.”
“Even you don’t know?”
“I haven’t been attending meetings lately… and after what happened when I fought you two, they probably suspect I might betray them. Even if I showed up, I doubt they’d tell me where the main base is.”
“What do you mean? The way you said that makes it sound like you didn’t know from the beginning…”
“Oh, that. The main base changes location regularly. To avoid being discovered by enemies.”
“What a nuisance…”
Sofia held her head in frustration.
Aisha and Snow noticed and gently comforted her.
Licorice, on the other hand, kept eating without a care.
...The difference in personality really shows.
“Alright.”
After thinking for a bit, I decided what to do next.
“For now, let’s rest.”
“Huh? But…”
“Panicking won’t help. We have a lot to think about regarding what to do next… but we’re still tired from the journey, so I doubt we can think clearly. Resting properly should come first.”
“When you put it that way… you’re right. Understood. Aisha, Snow, let’s go to our room.”
“Hey, why didn’t you call me!?”
Sofia seemed to have switched her mindset and spoke more gently.
Then we all moved to a room on the second floor…
“Ohh, nice room! It’s spacious, clean, and even has a bath! The view from the window is great too!”
“...Why are you here?”
Sofia shot a cold stare at the excited Lena.
“Huh? Well, I don’t have anywhere else to go.”
“And?”
“Besides, we’re cooperating now, right? So it’s fine if I stay here♪”
“Hmm…”
Sofia looked troubled.
She was probably still concerned about Lena being a former member of the Dawn Alliance.
“Come on, Sofia. Lena already left the Dawn Alliance…”
“That’s not what I’m concerned about.”
“Huh? It’s not?”
“Then what are you worried about?”
“Lena… are you still targeting Fate?”
“Do you mean his life? Or…”
“That reaction… so you are targeting Fate sexually!?”
“Cough—”
Sofia suddenly said something outrageous, making me choke.
Lena didn’t deny it—
“Fufu♪”
She just smiled mysteriously.
That’s basically an admission, isn’t it…?
“I knew it! I can’t allow someone so indecent to stay in this room!”
“Ehh, come on, it’s fine. There’s an empty bed, right?”
“That’s for Aisha and Snow!”
“I… want to sleep with Papa and Mama.”
“Offu.”
Snow let out a small sound, as if she’d actually be more comfortable sleeping on the floor.
“Ugh…”
“See? That’s what they’re saying.”
“N-No, absolutely not! Thinking about doing something weird to Fate—how enviable! I mean, unacceptable!”
Calm down, Sofia.
Your wording is getting strange.
“I’m quitting the Dawn Alliance, but I have no intention of giving up on Fate, you know~”
“Then how about giving up your life as well?”
“...”
“...”
The two glared at each other, sparks practically flying.
Scary, scary.
Aisha looked frightened.
Snow curled up with her tail tucked between her legs.
“What do you think, Fate!?”
“I can stay here, right?”
“Umm…”
Uh-oh, now it’s coming to me!?
“W-Well, that is…”
“Being popular is tough, huh~ …nom.”
