4. I bought an ultra·sensual swimsuit (Takahashi Biscuit)
After shoving the two vacation vouchers I pulled from under my skirt into the already dazed Kephiel’s hands, Queen Louise IV, who had arranged the time with us, cheerfully said, “You absolutely must come afterward! This is a royal command!” and happily left.
If it weren’t for the script telling me that the Queen had clues about the “new fairy,” I really wouldn’t want to agree to her ambiguous request just to keep her spirits up. After all… when the Queen of the Great Yng Empire, Louise IV, tells us to “go on vacation,” is it really a vacation!? And Kephiel, don’t think too kindly of your royal sister; our sweet and romantic rendezvous at the Great Yng Empire’s dating hotspot is already fraught with difficulties when the Queen isn’t around, let alone under her watchful eye!
Sure enough, the next day, Kephiel faced the consequences of her own confusion. As she hurriedly packed her bags overnight, excitedly dragging me along to the agreed-upon location outside the city at the scheduled time, what she saw was…
The smiling Queen Louise IV, along with Professor Moriarty at the helm, surely members of the Great Yng Empire’s patrol team meant to secretly protect the Queen.
“Good morning, Kephiel~ Really, you don’t need to bring so much luggage~ With your royal sister here, you don’t have to spend any money at all~”
Upon seeing us… or rather, my arrival, the Queen cheerfully greeted me.
Kephiel was instantly dumbfounded, holding onto the last shred of “hope,” and stepped forward to force a smile: “Y-Your Majesty… you don’t need to be so formal to see us off…”
However, the Queen immediately switched to an innocent expression, shattering Kephiel’s hopes.
“What are you saying, Kephiel? Can’t you see I’m already dressed like this?”
Saying that, the Queen spun around in front of me and Kephiel. For this outing, Her Majesty had indeed made some disguises, but it was just a white cloak over her usual short skirt that barely reached her knees, which today happened to touch her knees… that’s all. Just now, as she turned in front of me, the fluttering short skirt almost revealed something I shouldn’t have seen.
“This is for going on vacation, you know~ A rare opportunity; even your royal sister wants to take a little break~”
Now, Kephiel was truly at a loss. After all, even if one were an unbeatable dragon soaring through the skies, in matters like this, Kephiel was still just an ordinary girl. Even with the script, I might not win against the Queen, let alone Kephiel, who treated the Queen like her sister.
“B-but didn’t you say those vouchers were for the two of us…?”
“That’s right~”
The Queen blinked her starry eyes, nodding seriously, “But I also happen to want to go, so I thought maybe we could go together. Don’t tell me, Kephiel, that you don’t want to go out and have fun with your royal sister, but would rather be stuck with a stinky man who might lose control at any moment?”
Your Majesty, could you please not use me as a target when you’re deceiving Kephiel? After all, what you’re thinking is clearly laid out in the script: [Louise IV wants to travel together!]
After her “coincidental” offensive, the Queen employed her usual tactic against Kephiel: the lure of retreat!
“Sigh… Since Kephiel only wants to be with Oujilide, then your royal sister will just have to suffer for a few days and go back first…”
Louise IV sighed dramatically, looking dejected. Even though I knew it was 100% an act, I couldn’t spot a single flaw! Naturally, Kephiel immediately faltered under the “royal sister” connection.
“Ugh… wait, Your Majesty, I didn’t mean it that way.”
When Kephiel, feeling guilty for “saying the wrong thing,” grabbed the Queen’s arm, I knew: the Queen had completely succeeded.
“I-I’d love to go together! I didn’t mean to sound unhappy; it’s my honor to be with you, Your Majesty, hahaha…”
It was the first time I saw Kephiel with a bitter smile, and as for the Queen, having already deceived Kephiel, she even crazily delivered a follow-up blow!
“Don’t smile so stiffly, Kephiel~ How long has it been since we sisters went out to play together~”
“Why is Krifi laughing stiffly, Your Majesty, don’t you have any idea what’s going on in your heart?”
“Alright, Krifi, I’m going to put away the luggage with Ouli Li De, you go sit in the car and wait for us, okay?”
After sending Krifi off with a smile, who was already looking a bit tearful, Lou Yi, the fourth prince, picked up the luggage from the ground and put it in the last cargo truck… which was supposed to be the case.
But unexpectedly, the queen, who was passing by me, just as Krifi had completely turned her back, tiptoed up and whispered in my ear:
“Are you happy, Mr. Priest? I’ll be with you ‘all the way’ too, oh~”
Your Majesty, is this happiness just a simple vacation happiness or a kind of “pursuing excitement and going all out” happiness? I’m a bit afraid to ask.
“It’s okay, it’s okay~”
“That’s it, you’d better be looking forward to it, because the beach on this route, I’ve even bought a super s*xy swimsuit for you~”
“Sigh!”
As I gasped for air, the queen had already escaped with a naive and carefree smile from my side.
“Ouli Li De, as a gentleman of the Great Empire, why do you need a girl to help you with the luggage? What are you still doing there?”
What’s there to say? I couldn’t help but stare!
After all, this topic is dangerous and will make every man’s heart race with excitement. Even I, who was supposed to be with Krifi and the queen, couldn’t help but think about it.
Not to mention the queen’s introduction to our next destination, I didn’t even hear a word.
“Glamorgan Castle is a territory of the Great Empire in the south, with some coastal areas. Due to various reasons, it has no lord at the moment, and is instead managed by several local nobles.”
“It’s a place where you can still enjoy the sun and beach even in winter, and Glamorgan Castle has always been a popular vacation spot within the Great Empire, and it’s hard to get an appointment. Krifi, Ouli Li De, you two should thank my sister for this, oh~”
“A lot of the people who come here are tourists, so we’re coming as tourists too. By the way, among the tourists, most are couples or married couples, but there are more… wealthy men who bring their ‘concubines’ to have an affair. Ouli Li De, sir, I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
I was woken up from the topic of the “super s*xy” swimsuit by the queen’s shout, and when I looked up, I saw the queen coming towards me with a smile that looked innocent but made my back sweat. Wasn’t she saying something strange just now?
“Ah?! What… what…”
“Ah, Ouli Li De, is it possible that you’re thinking of Krifi and my swimsuit right now? That’s not allowed, you know. If it weren’t for our relationship, you would be accused of insulting the royal family~”
The queen waved her hand in a seemingly carefree manner, but it was Krifi who blushed: “Ouli Li De! Don’t think about it!”
I was only trying to get a clue from the queen to get the fairy’s thread, and I had no choice but to agree to this vacation. Your Majesty, please forgive me right now, beach, swimsuit, and beautiful girls – these three topics are driving me crazy!
