Koutarou’s room at the inn was for two people. Since he knew that Clan would be returning, he’d prepared for her in advance.

“H-Hey, Veltlion.”

“What?”

Koutarou answered Clan while playing with an operating panel built into the armor’s right arm. The armor’s upright posture locked in place, and the various parts of the armor opened. Koutarou stepped out of the suit as if shedding a shell. Once Koutarou emerged from the armor, it closed after him. But without even making sure it had closed properly, Koutarou approached Clan, who was sitting on one of the two beds.

“A-Are we sleeping here tonight?”

Clan’s face was red. Her eyes were wavering with anxiety.

“Yeah. What about it?”

“What about it? I-I’m still not married, and...”

Clan looked down at the ground.

“Ah, I see!”

Koutarou realized what Clan wanted to say and clapped his hands together when the lightbulb came on.

“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything funny in a situation like this.”

“But...”

After living in room 106 with girls all around him every day, Koutarou had built up a certain resistance to women, but Clan was a sheltered princess who had almost no experience with men. She couldn’t even imagine sleeping all alone in a room with a man that wasn’t family.

“I understand how you feel, but it’d be suspicious if a knight and his servant slept in different quarters. I can only ask that you bear with it.”

“I-I understand.”

“You can trust me, Clan.”

Koutarou smiled. Though Clan said she understood, she was hugging a pillow and quietly watching Koutarou from behind it. It was pretty obvious that she didn’t fully trust him.

“Although we were originally enemies, you’re the only one I can depend on right now. There’s no way I’d do anything terrible to you, now is there?”

While saying that, Koutarou glanced towards the armor standing behind him.

Koutarou couldn’t do maintenance on the armor himself, so Clan’s cooperation was essential. And since there was lots he didn’t know about Forthorthe’s history and culture, her advice was indispensable here. Based on the situation they were in, he couldn’t risk doing anything at all that might upset Clan or turn her against him. It would be like cutting his own lifeline.

“Hahh... All right. But in return, don’t look at my sleeping face. Only my future husband can see that.”

“It’s a deal, Clan. Let’s make a partition or something there later.”

“...”

After glancing at Koutarou one more time, Clan let go of her pillow. But even so, the awkward atmosphere didn’t dissipate right away, so Koutarou decided to change the topic. Fortunately, there was a lot they needed to talk about.

“Oh yeah, do you have anything to tell me, Clan?”

“Tell you...? I-I don’t want to see your sleeping face―”

“Not that. I mean your investigation. Did you find anything on the real Blue Knight?”

Clan was about to lose her composure all over again, but her expression turned dark the moment she heard the words “Blue Knight.”

“Ah, ahh... Th-That’s...”

Based on her reaction, Koutarou could guess how it’d gone.

“...Nothing?”

“Ah, auuugh... Y-Yes...”

Clan’s words grew weaker and quieter. She eventually ended up hugging the pillow she had let go of again and burying her face in it.
