Mannen D-rank No Chuunen Boukensha, Yotta Ikioi De Densetsu No Ken Wo Hikkonuku - CH 60

We use a teleportation magic circle to get out of the dungeon safely.

The guards that gathered in the dungeon hurriedly ran to report the princess’s safety to the royal palace and school.

On the other hand, the princess… ..

[Cruxie-samaaa… ..]

[U-Ummmm …… could you get away please ……?]

She has been attached to Cruxie ever since.

[……Your highness. You are causing trouble for him. Surely His Majesty is very worried, so let’s go show him that you are safe]

[Uhh ~]

Being scolded by Marisha, Princess Fiora reluctantly turned away from Cruxie.

However, she didn’t move from the place as she looked at Cruxie.

Cruxie scratched his cheek with a complicated face.

[Your Highness, it’s time to go]

Marisha spoke after seeing her.

[…… Cruxie-sama]

[Y-Yes?]

The princess said it with a look of determination.

[I’ve always liked you, Cruxie-sama!]

Haa, I could hear a whisper from Marisha saying [so she told him… ..].

She was probably aware of the princess’s feelings.

Well, I think anyone would know by looking at it.

But, I didn’t think she would do a confession.

This would cause a lot of problems.

The fact that Marisha is involuntarily holding her head, is because she is considering the various problems that will occur, it is surely hurting her.

[I-I can’t contain these feelings anymore!]

[B-But… ..I’m just a commoner]

[It does not matter! There is no obstacle to this love like the difference in status!]

The princess kept pressing valiantly towards Cruxie who was backing away fearfully.

[Please go out with me, Cruxie-sama!]

The princess had the expression of a maiden in love on her face.

Faced with such an expression complemented by her incredible beauty, any man would fall for it.

…… being a man, of course.

Too bad, Cruxie is a girl.

[I’m sorry!]

When Cruxie lowered her head and apologized, the princess had a stunned face.

[W-Why…?]

[Actually, I—-]

Then Cruxie approached me.

[—- I’m dating Lucas-kun]

She said it while hugging my arm.

[[[… .Eh?]]]

Marisha and the members of the princess’s unit raised voices in surprise.

[I’m in love with him. S-so… .. sorry. I can’t accept your feelings… ..]

[I see…..]

The princess had a blank expression.

Cruxie then say something that only us could hear.

Yes, I understand… ..this is the best way to calm this situation… ..

But, Cruxie… ..that would mean… ..

『Kukuku, it would be that there is a relationship between men』

You are right…..

But, wouldn’t it be better to forget that rule of the Amazons?

We already know, so we could just reveal that you are a girl.

While thinking of something like that… ..

『I-If so, I’d have to get out of the boys’ dorm… ..』

Cruxie told me by telepathy.

I would like to prioritize my honor as a man in this case.

Ahem, then Marisha coughed trying to dispell this undescribable atmosphere.

[I-It seems that Cruxie-shi has no interest in women]

Even though she was puzzled, she seemed somewhat relieved.

If it is known that Cruxie has an interest in men and is with me, I suppose the suspicions and concerns with the princess will be alleviated.

When the princess who was in a mental shock was finally taken away by the members of her unit, Cruxie sighed in relief.

[I’m sorry]

[…… I-It’s okay. Well, it can’t be helped ……]

As I responded to Cruxie’s apologies, and imagined all kinds of weird looks people show from now on, I could only sigh.

*

After a few days the princess summoned me.

The place is her room in the girls’ dorm.

Since Aria always comes to my room, it’s the first time I’ve ever come to the girls’ dorm.

It’s not that boys are forbidden to enter the girls’ dorm, but since there are only girls in the building, it makes me feel uncomfortable walking down the hall and passing each other.

[I was waiting for you. Please come in]

It was Marisha who welcomed me.

It seems that she lives with the princess in the room.

The princess room is located on the upper floor of the bedroom, I suppose it is specially prepared for the royal family.

It was much larger than the one I am using.

When I was shown into the reception room, the princess was waiting with a straight face.

And she stood up when she saw me come in.

[I’m not going to give up! I will definitely make Cruxie-sama stand by my side! It’s a duel!]

To think that it would be a declaration of war from the princess.

…… I even thought about telling her that Cruxie is actually a girl.

*

When I was walking down the hall after leaving the princess room, Marisha chased me for some reason and stopped me.

[…… I’m very sorry about before]

[No, I don’t think there is a need for you to apologize]

I think somehow I understand that she also has a difficult time with the princess.

[I want to thank you again for saving Her Highness …… but do you really not want any rewards?]

[I’m fine, it’s not that I helped because I wanted a reward. I don’t want to stand and complicate things]

[……….]

We rescued the princess, but I asked them to keep it a secret.

The reason is as I said.

In Cruxie’s case, even without that, he already stands out.

I don’t want to get caught up in unnecessary trouble.

It seems that the princess did not accept it very well to say, and it took a lot to convince her… ..

[Thank you]

After Marisha thanked me, she spoke with a complicated face.

[…… It’s awkward to say something like this while receiving such consideration ……]

[What’s the matter?]

[…… The fact that a man came to her highness’s room will raise several suspicions]

Seriously?

The day after that, the rumor that I tried to get my hands on the princess had spread throughout the school.

『Just make it happen! —– for now you are love rivals, but eventually you will be attracted to each other …… 』

Of course not.
