Not Like That [Part 3]

“Ah, dangero—…”

“What!?”

“Huh? Just what on earth is happening!?”

(Isn’t the ferocious beast who had flattened the king snuggling its forehead closer to the angel’s face?)

The knights and hunters were confused seeing the Lady Emma lookalike angel and the beast hugging as if conveying their love for each other. The beast didn’t seem like it would harm the angel.

“I… see… So this means that beasts also won’t attack angels, huh?”

“I see. Because it’s an angel…”

“Well, it’s an angel, after all.”

The angel’s divine smile she flashed before the beast made everyone strangely convinced.

“Alrighty, let’s strip him straight away!”

Ufufu. Emma knelt beside the king, who had been laid down on the ground, with her angelic smile.

“E-Emma? Pardon, what happened to Father, I mean, His Majesty?”

As a son who had just seen his father being crushed by a cat, Prince Edward asked as calmly as he could.

“He’s alright, just unconscious. It’s dangerous because some monster blood splattered on His Majesty’s clothes are still not dry. Your Highness, please keep a distance just to be safe.”

There’s a danger of status ailments occurring again if someone were to touch the still-wet blood.

“If so, Lady Emma should also stay away!”

Following Emma’s advice, Arthur came forward without hesitation to keep the prince away from the king and further reached out his hand to the kneeling Emma to help her stand up.

Arthur thought for sure that the king had already passed away, but when he moved closer, he could confirm with his eyes that the king lying on his back was still breathing, with his chest heaving up and down slightly.

“No, I will look after His Majesty.”

“!”

Emma shook her head slowly to Arthur’s outstretched hand.

“No, you can’t. You just said it yourself, didn’t you? How dangerous it was. Tell me how to deal with the blood, and I’ll do it.”

‘Why must Lady Emma especially be the one doing the dangerous work?

If His Majesty wakes up and goes berserk, the slender and delicate Lady Emma won’t possibly get away with just a few light injuries, right?’ Arthur thought.

“That’s why I will do it. Arthur-sama, status effects might occur again if the blood isn’t dry.”

Emma pointed her finger at the many bloodstains on the king’s clothes.

“If Arthur-sama, His Highness, and George Nii-sama become like His Majesty earlier, nobody can stop you. On the contrary, even if I go on a rampage, everyone can just pinion me and restrain my movements easily, right?”

To prevent secondary and tertiary damage caused by rampage mice, it was an iron rule that the weakest people must be the first in line to take care of the victim.

“—Wha!! Pinion Emma!?”

The prince behind Arthur exclaimed.

‘It’s true that if the dainty her goes on a rampage, holding her down won’t be difficult.

But Emma’s wrists and waist are so thin that they seem like they will break with the slightest force.

H-How can I… to such a delicate body…’

“But, um, if I go on a rampage… please make it as painless… as possible, okay?”

Emma averted her gaze for a moment, then looked at the prince and Arthur shyly with upturned eyes.

She wouldn’t back down on taking care of the king, but in case of unexpected circumstances, she wanted to be treated gently.

“Wha!?”

The prince, who ended up gawking at Emma’s body before he knew it, turned red all at once at the sight of Emma’s drooping eyelashes, the upward glance from her moist eyes, and, more than anything, the words coming out of her mouth.

The prince stepped one step, two steps, three steps back… like receiving shockwaves and fell on his bottom with a thud.
