"Sakuya, are you angry?"
"No, I haven't."
"…Liar."
Lying on the soft bed, his slender body curled up as he pulled the blanket up to cover his nose. He blinked his pitiful hamster eyes as he looked at Sakuya.
However, Sakuya, who had pulled a chair over and sat down by the bed, didn't say anything. She was like a mother taking care of her child, smiling calmly as she watched Yao without moving.
After returning from the now disbanded " Fores-Garo " base, Yao, who was the only one who had suffered minor injuries among the participants, was given special care. After treating his injuries and applying a medicinal cloth, he was ordered by Black Rabbit to return to his room to rest. Sakuya, who had offered to take care of him, naturally followed him in.
After maintaining this state for half an hour, Yao finally sat up.
"I'm sorry, Sakuya."
Respectfully, he sat on the bed and kowtowed to his butler.
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry for not trusting my friends, I'm sorry for thinking that I could handle it alone, I'm sorry for not making good use of my friends 'abilities."
"Be good."
Sakuya stood up as she looked at Yao, who was counting her mistakes like a cannonball and didn't even dare to raise her head. She hugged Yao's shoulders and gently pulled him into her embrace.
"I am the young miss 'follower, the person who swore to protect the young miss with my body. If there's anyone who can't be forgiven this time, then it's only me who caused Miss to be injured. The only thing I can't accept is that Young Miss has taken herself too lightly.”
"... Was it too light?"
"Yes, I am. In order to protect Miss Asuka and Renjun who could not protect themselves, Miss placed herself alone in front of the enemy. Moreover, in order to buy time for his friend, he even let go of the opportunity to escape.”
Sakuya hugged her body as tightly as she could and buried her head in Yao's soft hair, which was emitting the scent of sunshine. She had no intention of denying the fact that Sixteen Nights had ridiculed her for having a " little miss complex."
"I hope that Miss can take herself more seriously. He would prioritize his own safety and try his best to protect himself.”
"…This…probably can't be done.”
"Yeah, I know that too."
Smiling, Sakuya relaxed her grip on Yao. She bent down and looked straight into her eyes. Her big, clear eyes were like a wild cat's, reflecting her own appearance.
Although they had only been together for two days, it was absolutely impossible for Yao to abandon his companions and escape in the face of danger. Although he was not good at socializing, that was because he had not had the opportunity to make friends with others in his life for more than ten years. In other words, once she recognized someone as her friend, this pure girl would work hard to protect her companions.
"Please promise me. No matter what, please don't fall before my withered body.”
"... Yes. However, Sakuya has to promise me that she won't wither before I give her permission.”
This was the highest oath that the servant and master could make.
===================================================
The second day after the bestowment competition, in the meeting hall of the main hall of No_Nome.
"Companion?"
While drinking the black tea Sakuya had prepared for everyone, Asuka raised her eyebrows in curiosity when she heard the black rabbit's careful words. By the way, she had changed back into the red dress that Black Rabbit had prepared for her and Sakuya had pawned it to the " Kind-hearted Kimono Lolita."
"Yes, I am. That lady was the princess of a clan that was also bestowed the title of 'knight' in the Box Court where the asura gods and Buddhas gathered. She was even more powerful than Black Rabbit, who was a noble of the Box Court. Moreover, he was the former Demon King, a powerful and gentle lord.”
" But such a character is now in 'Thousand Eyes' which belongs to White Yaksha? Not as a member, but as an " possession "?”
"Yes…when the previous 'No_Nome' was destroyed by the Demon King, many of our companions also became the Demon King's belongings. After many transfers, the lord was now under the command of Thousand Eyes.”
"Why don't you go get it back? It should be easy to get it from the white yaksha--”
"Please don't joke about the black rabbit's 200-year-old chastity, Sakuya-san!!”
"Oh, oh! I really want it!"
"Mr. Sixteenth Nights as well! What are you trying to do?"
The two beautiful rabbit ears were swaying wildly. The black rabbit's chest was heaving up and down violently, and its face was flushed red with anger from the problematic children group. Seeing this scene, Ren sighed in distress and continued,"
"We also want to take back this companion. However, after asking, he found out that the public gift game that Thousand_Eyes had launched with this companion as a reward seemed to have been postponed. If this continued, it seemed that it might be canceled directly.”
"Ah? Such a large community actually did such a self-destructive act?”
"Yes, I am. Thousand_Eyes was a community. Half of them were directly under the leadership of the White Yaksha, and the other half were under the leadership of the community. This time, the organizer was the cadre of the community under Thousand_Eyes, Perseus. As long as the value of the money or gifts was high enough for them to hurt the double goddesses, they would definitely dare to withdraw the game.”
"It's really low-grade."
Flying Bird flipped her long hair in disgust. For someone who was born into a wealthy family, this topic was like stepping on a landmine.
Sakuya, who was sitting below Yao, asked calmly while holding a teacup in her hand.
"May I ask what kind of person the former Demon King was?”
"Well…if I were to describe it in one sentence, she is a super beauty with a head of super beautiful platinum blonde hair. When he combed his hair with his fingers, he could feel the silky touch of silk. His hair that was soaked in the shower was shining like stars.”
"Alright, I'll do it. Sixteen Nights, go and get it back."
"Oh! I'm burning up! Destroy that community that doesn't know how to appreciate favors and dares to snatch my companion!”
"Please wait for a moment, you two problematic children!!!”
Pa pa! Following the crisp sound of two paper fans, Sakuya and Sixteen Nights returned to their original seats with a big bag on their heads as if nothing had happened.
But thinking about it, since that community called 'Perseus' was so shameless as to withdraw from the game of gifts, they definitely wouldn't accept the game of gifts just because of Sakuya and Sixteen Nights 'challenge. However," No_Nome " was so poor that he couldn't even open his own pot. He didn't have any bargaining chips to offer. If there was a demon king with the authority of the organizer present, everything would be fine...
"Hmm…since that 'Perseus' only wants higher benefits, can you leave this matter to me to think of a way?”
"Oh? Does Sakuya-san have a way?"
"Hey, hey. However, he needed some time.”
She elegantly stood up and pushed up her slender red-rimmed glasses. Her black hair, which was tied into a bundle, swayed with her movements.
"Please allow me to work hard for that beautiful lady who has yet to be seen.”
