Chapter 127.2

(EP-127.2) Queen #2

127 – The Wise Queen #2

As the moon rose high, the pouring rain ceased.

The dark sky was now adorned with the moon, brightly reflecting its light on the blank sheet that was the cosmos. It was quite beautiful. Alas, I couldn’t enjoy such a scene. After all, I couldn’t walk while looking at the sky, lest I took a dip into the mud.

Fortunately, we were able to return to the dormitory before it got too late. I really thought I had to spend the night in an old rundown hut back then.

I was also having a hard time because Aira, who had reached the limit of her patience, kept urging me with something along the lines of, “Theo, tell me something interesting.”

Finally arriving in front of Aira’s room, I bowed my head towards her.

“Your Majesty, I received a lot of help today.”

“Is it not the Queen’s duty to assist her subjects with their difficulties?”

“That....”

That was very true. Aira was becoming more of a proper Queen. But I was both thrilled and anxious, as capturing her would be even more challenging.

“Anyway, I feel uncomfortable. I want to freshen up. Theo, help me with my bath.”

Aira then entered her room.

In fact, Aira’s body was cleaner compared to those who had just washed themselves. Any dirt or foreign debris on her had been thoroughly cleaned by purification.

However, taking a bath seemed to give Aira some mental comfort.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

But to help her bathe.

Would I have to lick soap again...

I was getting nervous.

To be honest, soap really didn’t taste good. With the sensitive Half-Fairy tongue, soap was just awful.

“Then, I will assist you in undressing.”

“Good. I want to wash quickly.”

Aira seemed to misunderstand that I was hiding a weapon.

“Why did you bring something like a dagger in the bathroom? Answer me, Theo.”

Jorit, jorit.

A strong aura seemed to emanate from Aira with an intense aggression.

Having become a Mage at the 4.5th Rank, I could recognize that it was the release of magic power resulting from intense anger.

A furious Aira was demanding the truth from me.

Considering that Aira had lost her family in a series of unfortunate incidents, it was understandable that she harbored a strong hatred for assassination, treason and the like.

But I wasn’t hiding a dagger.

Although it had something in common with a dagger in that it could stab people. If its true nature got revealed, she would realize that it was nothing like a dagger.

It was also too big....

“Theo, tell me the truth. As your Queen, I don’t want to reprimand you.”

Aira’s patience seemed to be reaching its limit.

If this continued, there was a real possibility that I’d get accused of assassination or treason, and get ripped to shreds. I had to make a choice.

“I wouldn’t have brought a dagger, would I?”

“Then what are you hiding?”

I decided to tell the truth like a man. There were times when it was better to just face sh¡t head-on rather than beating around the bush.

However, the choice of words was important here. After all, I couldn’t say to Aira, ‘This isn’t a dagger, it’s my dicƙ.’

“Then what are you hiding? This is the last time I’m asking, Theo Gospel!”

“What I’m hiding is....”

In response to Aira’s stern question, I quickly searched for the most appropriate word. Cocƙ. Pen¡s-. But no matter what word I used, it felt strange.

“What are you hiding!?”

“I... It’s my tail.”
