\text("Günther")
............
\endtext

\text("Agri")
Heh, you're being awfully quiet, aren't you?
\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
...Hey, we met in Denfrosk, right? You were talking with
Rebecca.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...So you remember. That makes things easier. Take me to the
Demon Lord. I want to talk.
\endtext

\text("Noro")
...What should we do?
\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
As long as we keep an eye on him, it'll be fine. Agri, go
call the Demon Lord.
\endtext

\text
Though he looked annoyed, Agri ran off toward Caym.
\endtext

\text
Meanwhile, Günther looked around.
\endtext

\text
His own subordinates were being treated by monsters and
women of the Demon Lord's army.
\endtext

\text
Considering the scale of the battle, the losses were
surprisingly small. The only question left was whether they
could return to Glace.
\endtext

\text
At that moment, Caym arrived, bringing Risbell with him.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...So you're the one who called for me. I hear you want to
talk.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...Yeah. I've heard about you from Her Majesty.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
And?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
You all have your own reasons to fight. ...I'm not
interested in hearing them. Everyone has their reasons.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
There's only one thing I want to know. What do you intend to
do with Her Majesty... with Lady Glace?
\endtext

\text
―Stubborn, but apparently not stupid. Caym grinned slyly.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
There's nothing complicated about it. As a man, wanting a
good woman is only natural, isn't it?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
You're awfully honest about your desires.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Everyone's like that, more or less. As long as they have
feelings, anyway.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
......
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I'm going to make Glace mine. If Winga gets in my way, I'll
crush them.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
So, what about you?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...Me?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Let's be clear. I'm on Glace's side. And I'm on the side of
all women.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Now it's your turn to answer. Whose side are you on? What do
you want to do with Glace?
\endtext

\text
Günther hadn't expected to be asked in return and was at a
loss for words.
\endtext

\text
―Whose side am I on?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...I'm a soldier. What I must protect is already decided.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
............
\endtext

\text
With Glace's image flashing through his mind, Günther
responded with a resolute attitude, locking eyes with Caym.
\endtext

\text
There was no hesitation in him, only a quiet, steely
determination burning within.
\endtext

\text
Seeing this, Caym curled his lips into a fearless grin.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Then you're of no use to my army. Take your men and
disappear wherever you like.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Caym-sama, that's...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
My mind's made up. Agri, cut their ropes.
\endtext

\text("Agri")
Understood.
\endtext

\text
And so, Caym really did set Günther and his men free.
\endtext

\text
Günther himself wasn't even surprised, simply taking a
moment to compose himself.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...One last thing, if I may?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Hm?
\endtext

\text("Günther")
Why don't you just slaughter all your enemies?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Because they'll become citizens of my country. If someone
insists on throwing their life away, I won't show mercy...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
But otherwise, there's no reason to kill them, is there?
\endtext

\text
He spoke as if to say, What's the problem with that?
\endtext

\text
In fact, he seemed to find the question itself odd. For
Caym, this was simply the norm.
\endtext

\text("Günther")
...You're right. If they're your own people, you can't let
them suffer.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...?
\endtext

\text
Murmuring that, Günther left with his men.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Caym-sama, was that really okay?
\endtext

\text("Agri")
Yeah. Wouldn't it have been better to make that old guy an
ally?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...No, when it comes to Glace, he and I are already allies.
Kukuku...
\endtext

\text("Spacchio")
Huh...?
\endtext

\text("Noro")
...?
\endtext

\text
Caym wore a cheerful smile.
\endtext

\text
The four of them all tilted their heads at their king in
unison.
\endtext

\text
News of Günther's defeat and Adonai's fall reached Glace's
ears that very day.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Then... what happened to Günther...?
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
Well, for some reason, the Demon Lord let Günther go...
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...He's safe...?
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
Most likely.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...I see, that's a relief.
\endtext

\text
In stark contrast to Glace's relief, the High Priest felt
only confusion and irritation.
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
(Why wasn't he killed...? Damn it, at this rate...)
\endtext

\text
In his scenario, Günther was supposed to die in the battle
to reclaim Adonai.
\endtext

\text
He'd calculated that if Günther died, even Glace wouldn't be
able to stay silent... but...
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
However, at this rate, the Demon Lord's army won't lose
momentum.
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
Even the commander has been defeated. We have no choice but
to rely on Winga-sama's power now.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
But...
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
And if we don't calm Winga-sama's anger soon, the blizzard
will only get worse...
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
Forget defeating the Demon Lord's army, the country itself
won't survive!
\endtext

\text("Glace")
............
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
You should think again about why you are here... Please
consider it carefully.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...Why am I here...
\endtext

\text("High Priest")
Well then, until next time... Please have your answer ready
by then.
\endtext

\text
Glace remained seated on the throne, unable to move from
that spot.
\endtext

\text("Maid")
Glace-sama... Are you all right?
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...Sorry. Leave me alone for now.
\endtext

\text
The maid left, and Glace was alone in the throne room.
\endtext

\text
Why am I here?
\endtext

\text
The High Priest's words echoed in her mind over and over.
\endtext

\text
She couldn't shake her doubts. Still, if that's what it
takes to save Kiros...
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Ah...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Doing well? I've come to see you again.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I've got Adonai now, Glace. Only two left to go.
\endtext

\text
Caym appeared before Glace again, as if nothing had
happened.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
The day you'll be my woman is close, fuhaha!
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...That's impossible. I'll be offered to Winga-sama soon
enough.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Hah... So that's why that old man was asking you those
questions?
\endtext

\text("Glace")
You mean about Günther?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Yeah. He'll be back soon enough. Look forward to it.
\endtext

\text
Caym said that with a smile. Just that alone made Glace feel
much more at ease.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
You won't be able to keep smiling like that for long. You
shouldn't underestimate Winga-sama.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Oh... Are you worried about me? That's proof you're already
starting to become mine, even without me doing anything.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
That's not it. It's just...
\endtext

\text
―Just what, though?
\endtext

\text
Glace's words trailed off there.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...I wonder why. I don't even know myself why I said that.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Hmm... It's because you're falling for me.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...Is that so?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
No doubt about it, yep. Heh... It was the right call to keep
coming here. Attacking Kiros was worth it too.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...That makes it sound like you attacked Kiros just for me.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's right. There's no other reason. Same with Lusario.
Honestly, I was planning to do the same with Shuka too...
\endtext

\text("Glace")
...Are you serious?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I'm serious. What about you? Don't you have any goals or
dreams like that? Things you want to do, things you want to
try?
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Dreams...
\endtext

\text
Even when asked, nothing came to mind. Glace had never
thought about such things, not even once.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
No... I have nothing. I gave everything to Kiros.
\endtext

\text
―She had never even considered living any other way.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's not true. You still have two things left.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
If you give those to me, maybe you'll find another way to
live.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
I told you. I have nothing left to give you.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
No, you still have this.
\endtext

\text
Saying that, Caym pulled Glace close and touched her
lips―still soft and smooth, though faintly so.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
My lips...? I can't give you those. I'd have to tear them
off.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's a pretty heartless way to put it... but fine. To be
precise, I mean this.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Eh... ahn...!?
\endtext

\text
Glace had no idea what had just happened.
\endtext

\text
Caym's face was right in front of her. Their lips were
touching.
\endtext

\text
And before she realized it, something warm, soft, and slick
slipped into her mouth.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Nn... nngh? Chu... fuh... relu...
\endtext

\text
It's his tongue. Caym's tongue is wrapping around hers.
\endtext

\text
He's licking her lips, sucking on her tongue. She doesn't
even have time to be surprised.
\endtext

\text
Her head is hazy, and she can't focus on anything else.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Chu... relu, chu, nn... chupa, fuh, haf...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's one for now.
\endtext

\text("Glace")
Fua... haa... one...?
\endtext

\text
Her body feels feverish, as if she's floating in heat.
\endtext

\text
Her heart pounds wildly, sending hot blood through her
once-cold body.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I'll take the other one when I make this country mine. Look
forward to it until then.
\endtext

\text
With those words, Caym disappeared.
\endtext

\text
Left behind, Glace couldn't think straight, her core still
trembling with heat...
\endtext

\text
It was only after she finally calmed down that she realized
Caym had left.
