「And that's what happened. It was a disaster.」
After being told about the brigade alliance at the base of Empress Brigade.
I ran away from the Lion King and returned to the inn where I explained the chain of events to Alicia who had woken up.
Then Alicia said 「...That must be horrible」 while,
「...But, I see. So Lion King, is female. And she, is head over heels for Erio...」
I had mentioned various unbelievable stories like about Battle Princess Sofia-san, but for some reason it seemed that was the thing that interested Alicia the most.
I suddenly got an unpleasant premonition.
(Alicia likes to make me get along with other girl doesn't she...don't tell me that she wants to make me get along with the Lion King too...)
「H-hey Alicia? Could it be you, umm, want to make me get along with Lion King. You aren't thinking anything like that aren't you...?」
I tried asking her fearfully.
Then Alicia fell into thought for a bit before,
「...I won't stop Erio if you want it but...it feels like Lion King want to get along with Erio in a way that Erio and I have never done before. Having Erio's first time taken away by someone else, no way.」
She unusually puffed out her cheeks 「Muh」 and answered like that while tightly pinching my clothes.
C-cute....
Besides it seemed that for Alicia herself, the Lion King's demand was intolerable so I was genuinely relieved.
「I see. Then I'm going to frankly refuse the Lion King's demand with everything I have!」
「...Ah, but...」
Alicia fell into thought once more.
And then her eyes sparkled with a slight excitement.
「...If Erio is also interested with getting along through your bottom, I'll happily...there's also this item shop that I've found from the Empress...I'll buy the tools there...」
「Alicia, what should we do for dinner today?」
I felt like the flow of event would become bad if we delved any deeper into this matter.
I put on a smile on my face and cut off this topic with all my strength.
