A Righteous Female Knight Never Compromises!-Chapter 73 : Plug-ins
Chapter 73 - Plug-ins? Plug-ins!
Although her mouth sounded so persuasive, in truth Anna felt she was just bluffing.
Because she didn’t understand any of it; the words she’d used to fool Mia had simply spilled out of her head in one go.
After returning home, when Anna thought over what she had told Mia, she even felt a bit panicked.
If Mia really got fooled and ended up destroying the kingdom, would she become a sinner through the ages?
Probably not, right? Surely no history book would devote a chapter to “The Latimir Sinner Who Bewitched the Queen Before Her Coronation”? At the time, only Mia, me, and Angelina were present.
Got it, Angelina is the uncertain factor; she must be eliminated (×).
In any case, Anna still felt very unsure… so she simply started a simulation to see how things might play out.
When in doubt, simulate, can’t go wrong.
…
The ending was no different from before; the problem was…
[Princess Mia publicly announced her relationship with you, and you rightfully became the other queen.]
[Future generations began to sing of the other queen’s romantic exploits. Many unofficial histories claim you had more than the queen as a partner, and were even involved with the two leading noble heiresses of the time; some wild chronicles even record a liaison with the Elven Queen.]
‘Forget unofficial histories, I think the official annals could include every bit of this.’
Anna glanced at Helga, who was happily devouring desserts, and didn’t dare say a word.
Of course a simulation with such high repetition rarely yields new achievements… In the end, today’s run finished without any achievement points.
Yet the basic purpose of this simulation had been achieved…
‘Why did my relationship with Mia advance even further!’
Anna was already considering whether to stay indoors for the next few days… but then Louise sent word that the duchess would come tomorrow to discuss cooperation.
‘Stay home to avoid Mia and you’ll run into Duchess Lusha; go out to avoid Duchess Lusha and you’ll bump into Mia. The future is clearly forcing me to choose between the two, isn’t it?’
Anna figured that meeting Duchess Lusha tomorrow wouldn’t hurt…
It’s just a meeting; avoiding her every day would seem rather rude… after all, the duchess is being received in my own home.
“I’m back!”
Ever since that banquet where she’d acted cool for once, the moment she left she’d turned free-spirited again; the elven princess had spent the past two days taking quests at the Adventurers’ Guild.
‘Why hadn’t Atala been there when I visited the guild yesterday?’
Anna couldn’t be bothered to puzzle it out; her gaze shifted to Atala and she noticed a box in the girl’s hands.
Before Anna could ask, Atala placed the box in her hands.
“A gift for you!”
“Huh?”
“In two or three days it’ll be the Descent Festival, right? I heard it’s a really important holiday for humans?”
“…It is important… but it's not so important that people give each other gifts,” Anna replied blankly, accepting the box and not knowing what to do with it.
“Can I… open it now?”
Noticing Helga’s gaze, she’d been happily eating dessert but was now riveted by Atala’s Descent-Festival gift, Anna asked Atala.
“Of course!”
With some trepidation Anna untied the box… inside lay a set of clothes.
“…What is this?”
She tilted her head, lifted the garments, and unfolded them,
A maid outfit.
Halfway through unfolding, Anna already knew what it was.
“This maid outfit…?”
“Exactly!”
“…Why a maid outfit?” Anna couldn’t make sense of it.
The Descent Festival celebrates the day the Creator Goddess made the world… though if you really counted from the moment of creation, logically it should start on the first day of the Rainy Month, the year’s beginning.
The current date in late autumn is only because of… political reasons.
Forgive Anna; when the lecture covered this part she hadn’t been listening, so she didn’t remember.
So why give a maid outfit for the Descent Festival?
“There’s no special meaning; I just thought you’d like it?”
…You’re the one who gave the gift, so why phrase it as a question!
“Why… would you think I like… maid outfits?”
Anna felt she couldn’t keep up with Atala’s train of thought.
“When we visited that Luca café last time, you kept staring at the waitresses’ uniforms…”
‘I like looking at other people wearing them; that doesn’t mean I want to wear one myself!’
“And look! I bought other things too.” Atala pointed to the bottom of the box: a cat-ear headband and… a tail packed in its own little box.
…
Reading the text on the tail’s box, Anna’s face flushed scarlet; she stared at Atala with a crimson face.
“Atala, why is there even a tail?”
“Huh? I just asked the clerk what prop to use if I needed a tail, and she handed me this box.”
Sis! At least read what’s printed on the box!
Can this thing even pass censorship!
Anna was sure Atala hadn’t done it on purpose, but what could she say, should she explain this was an insertable plug?
That… that’s too embarrassing!
While her mind ran wild, she felt something being placed on her head.
?
Snapping out of it, she realized a weight now rested on her head.
The cat-ear headband had vanished from the box.
“Anna with cat ears is so cute!”
Helga promptly began petting Anna’s head.
“W-wait! Helga!”
“Since it’s Atala’s kind intention, you shouldn’t refuse, right?” Helga giggled while stroking Anna’s head, deliberately rubbing her real ears. “Anna will definitely look great in the maid outfit.”
“Though it’s missing something… probably needs a pair of garter stockings, either black or white will do.”
“Ah, right!” Atala looked as though enlightenment had struck.
This is not the moment for enlightenment!
“Looks like we’ve got new games for tonight.” Seeing the final item at the bottom of the box, Helga’s mouth curved into a knowing grin.
“So this tail is…?” Atala picked up the tail’s box and read the text carefully…
Then, ears turning red, she set the box down.
“…I see. Indeed, something to be saved for the night.”
Take it back for a refund already!
