Since I am now the editor-in-chief, I have to write from an objective standpoint.
Xia showed a very cold look, which was comparable to Yue's cold look.
[However, despite such adversity, she didn't give up. Because of this, she met her destined person! Yes, it was Nanyun!]
Xia put away her cold eyes and became coy.
"It's embarrassing to hear someone say that again."
"I'm embarrassed when someone says that to me."
Hajime and Shia were mortified, as if their true story had been adapted into a novel. Light and the others smiled at the sight of the two, Kouki had an indescribable expression, and Ryuutarou was clearly upset.
We interviewed Princess Shia herself.
——When you first met Nanyun, did he give you a sense of destiny?
Princess Shia: "Yes, rather, I felt destiny before we met! We were guided by fate, and our meeting was inevitable. After we actually met, I felt an electric shock, like a shock to my head, and I felt like I was flying in the sky!"
“…Are you talking about that time when you were hit by Hajime’s 『Thunderbolt』, got elbowed on the head, and were thrown into the flock of flying dragons?”
"...Ms. Yue, I have to save face too."
Hajime turned his head away, while Kouki and the others thought to themselves, “Nanyun, what the hell are you doing!?” They looked at Hajime as if they were seeing something unbelievable.
[——Did you have a good impression of him from the beginning?
Princess Shia: "No, no, how could that be possible? We were almost executed. I have no time for romance until Mr. Hajime helps us negotiate."
It's so unexpected! Even though she met her destined person, misfortune still struck Princess Shia! To what extreme will God push her before he will give up!
"So, it was Fiabergen who wanted to execute us, and one of the people who made the decision was my elder Maou. It was either God or you who forced me into this desperate situation!"
"Should I say she really has a journalistic spirit? She's quite shameless."
[——So, when did you develop feelings for him?
Princess Shia: "It must have been that time when Hajime said to the elders, 'Shia is my destiny! If you want to take Shia from me... then be prepared!' I was so moved!"
"Wait a minute! I didn't say anything like that!"
Hajime clarified loudly. Everyone's eyes turned to Shia, who was sweating profusely as she moved her rabbit ears violently.
“…I’m sorry, I exaggerated a bit.”
After all, she was a young girl, so it was normal for her to exaggerate when it came to love. Everyone thought so, their warm gazes focused on Xia, and then Yue spoke up for Xia.
“…But Hajime said, ‘If you try to take these guys from me~’”
"!? You, you remember it so clearly, Yue."
Yue might have written down every word that Hajime said.
Everyone's warm gazes were focused on Hajime this time. Covering his eyes with one hand, Hajime managed to utter, "So, so embarrassing... Didn't I have any other words to say back then?" He felt incredibly ashamed.
This demonstrates the depth of their bond. Thus, our compatriot Princess Shia beautifully outshined the Yueshi, becoming a unique figure within the Nanyun clan. The Yueshi seemed to congratulate Princess Shia, and I imagine she must have conceded defeat and readily yielded. Since she couldn't possibly surpass Princess Shia's charm, there was nothing she could do about it. Regardless, Princess Shia's hard work has paid off, and we compatriots are moved and delighted for her.
Yue turned back to look at Shia.
“…Shia, what’s going on?”
"I, I, I don't know! I never said anything like that!"
"...Okay, I'll go kill that Editor-in-Chief Maou."
"Yue, calm down!"
Despite being pinned down from behind by Kaori, Yue continued to thrash her arms and legs, yelling, "Damn it! I'm going to kill him!" The report's emphasis on "fellow countrymen" suggested she might have deliberately twisted the facts slightly as part of a performance to entertain the demihumans...
"That guy named Maou is really a fool."
Shizuku and the others nodded in agreement at Tio's words.
[The author asked Princess Shia if the women around Nanyun clan made her feel uneasy. Princess Shia didn't seem to understand the author's question, so the author asked Princess Shia again what she thought of the women around Nanyun clan.
From now on, the author will publish Princess Xia's words in their original language.
Shia exclaimed, "Huh!? Published as is!? She said she'd edit it into a lighthearted review!?" She looked flustered. The other female members' eyes lit up with excitement, their gazes fixed on the magazine.
[I love them the most, so much so that I even feel like I was born just to meet them.]
At this point, Xia was already making strange noises like "Woo-poo!" Her face flushed with shame, and she slumped over the table, covering her ears with her hands as if to say, "I can't hear anything~."
"Ms. Yue is like a sister to me, a mentor in battle, and my first friend. Because of Miss Yue, I am who I am today. I will not tolerate anyone who threatens Miss Yue, even if it's Mr. Hajime!"
Yue's cheeks flushed as she stared at Shia, who was lying on the round table.
[As for Ms. Kaori, I actually thought this guy was an eyesore earlier.]
Kaori jumped up, "Huh!? Shia hates me!?" She seemed unable to hide the shock in her heart.
Because she immediately compares herself to us and hesitates alone... I think she should be more open to this and that and just be herself.
Guanghui looked at Ryutaro and said:
"Shia's way of thinking is very similar to Ryuutarou's."
"Hey, Kouki, what does that mean?!"
Kaori was in no mood to care about what they were saying; she just stared at the magazine and continued reading.
"What's more! What's more, Miss Yue is also very fond of her! She always picks on Miss Kaori! It's just like a child bullying the person she likes! Leave me aside! Damn Miss Kaori! How dare you take Miss Yue away from me! Miss Kaori should just go and flirt with Shizuku!"
Kaori looked at Yue, who turned away, her ears slightly red. She seemed to be shy too, her cheeks flushed crimson.
Shizuku thought to herself, "Ah, ignoring me? I don't care." Her expression looked a little lonely, and it seemed that she understood Shia's feelings very well.
[However, now she may be the woman I respect the most.]
Not only Kaori, but everyone, including Yue, stared at Shia with wide eyes. Shia remained motionless, lying on the round table, as if enduring shame.
Even though Ms. Kaori was only a soul left on the sacred mountain, she still prayed for "the power to walk with us" and "the power to fight side by side with us", and then she really changed her body.
At that moment, I thought this person was truly remarkable and strong. Thinking about it carefully, Kaori-san was different from me, who had always liked Yue-san. Kaori-san swallowed up negative emotions like jealousy and inferiority and still remained here. I think she is stronger than me.
Kaori opened her eyes wide in surprise, remained silent, and continued to read the text as if she was shocked.
"So, I like her to the point of worship. I won't let Miss Kaori fall again. I won't let that happen. Miss Kaori is my protection."
Kaori silently hugged Xia beside her. Although Xia's body trembled, Kaori hugged her without caring.
"I see. This makes me a little jealous."
“…Yeah, I agree.”
Shizuku said with a wry smile, and Yue also agreed with a wry smile.
"Oh, it seems like there are comments about me too."
Tio had been looking at them with warm eyes, but now she looked at the magazine with anticipation.
[Miss Tio? Ah, she really is a pervert! ]
“Why!? Shia, why ahhhh!! I want gentle words too!?”
Everyone's eyes shot towards her, as if to say: How dare a masochist pervert say such things? You deserve it, right?
Tio lay on the ground and slapped the ground with her hands.
"Uh~ Miss Tio, there's more to come."
Ling said this as if to encourage Tio, and Tio immediately said, "Really? Is there still hope?" and quickly returned to her seat.
Even if a metal stake is stuck in their butt, most people won't become masochists! That's impossible.
"There's no hope! Shia hates me~!"
Tio fell to the ground again, slapping the ground. Since being inspired by Tio during the cockroach battle, Ling had come to admire Tio quite a bit. She tried to comfort Tio while continuing to recite.
Although Miss Tio is a bit of a pervert, I think she understands us best. Whenever I look back, Miss Tio is always not far away, looking at us with gentle eyes.
Tio made a strange sound, "Hmm~", perhaps because she was embarrassed to be seen with her cheeks flushed.
She always protects us and does her best for us. She may seem frivolous, but she's actually very mature and steady. Miss Tio is always incredibly calm. I think in a sense, Mr. Hajime's most trusted person might be Miss Tio.
Miss Tio looked at Mr. Hajime with eyes full of expectation, but Mr. Hajime turned his head away and told her, "Don't look at me."
"Just being there makes me feel at ease—that's Miss Tio. I hope the following sentence won't be published. I think she's a bit like my mother, so, hehe, I like her the most. Ah, of course, my mother is not a pervert!"
He is such a good person, but he is a pervert.
Sensing Shia's regret, Yue rolled her eyes at Tio.
"...You're right. Give me back my longing."
“Please, please spare me…”
Tio covered her face as if feeling uncomfortable, but it wasn't a reaction to Yue's words, but rather that she was shy and happy about Shia's words, and didn't want others to see her relaxed expression.
"By the way, it was Hajime who caused Miss Tio to be a pervert. I think Hajime should take the blame. If he rejects Miss Tio because she's a pervert, I will strike Druken with all my might."
Hajime let out a strange "Mm-mmm~" sound. His expression was as if he was suffering from abdominal pain, it was really hard to describe.
"Master, it seems you should take responsibility, huh?"
Tio showed an extremely proud expression, and everyone's eyes turned to Hajime.
Hajime showed a subtle expression that he had never had before. After considering for a moment, he suddenly gave up resistance and said with a gentle expression:
"...At least I won't reject Tio with that reason. It's true that I rely on you a lot, and I feel safe around you."
"—Is that so? That's good then."
After answering this, Tio lowered her head. The corners of her mouth moved slightly, probably because she was savoring the emotion she was feeling.
Tio's cheeks flushed slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled. There was no trace of her usual sexual proclivities from her. She looked like a truly stunning beauty.
Kouki and Ryuutarou couldn't help but gasp, while Ling and Shizuku looked as if they were chewing sweet cakes.
Perhaps to change the atmosphere, Hajime cleared his throat.
"Yeah, ahem, it basically mentions you guys, Tian Zhihe, too. Let me take a look."
"Huh? We have it too?"
How does Shia see herself? Kouki and Ryuutarou are deeply interested and turn their attention back to the magazine.
[Eh? Mr. Brave? Hmm~ I'm not sure! I haven't spoken much to his partner, because I'm not interested.]
Kouki said, "Yeah, I knew it," his eyes losing their sparkle. Ryuutarou said, "Don't mention it. She only remembers me as the 'Hero's Partner.' Miss Shia, don't you even know my name?" He stared into space with his dead eyes.
[Ms. Ling... sometimes when she sees me and Ms. Yue, or Ms. Kaori and Ms. Shizuku together, she looks very lonely.]
Ling gasped, and Shizuku and Kaori looked at her worriedly.
I knew who she was thinking of when she gave me that look, so when Suzu-san asked Hajime-san to let her go on the rest of the journey, I was happy. I thought to myself, ah, she hasn't given up yet, she's still going to try hard, and I like people like that.
Ling felt very embarrassed, while Guanghui and Ryutaro lay on the table because of the unequal treatment.
[Miss Shizuku...it's only a matter of time! ]
"What do you mean sooner or later?! What do you mean by that!?"
Shizuku was in a state of panic, while Yue, Kaori, and Tio said in unison, "Indeed," and nodded.
"So what is it!?"
No one wanted to answer her.
Shizuku-san seems like a bright and cheerful person, but I think she's actually quite complex. She might seem like she's taking care of Kaori-san, but I think she's actually relying on her. In my opinion, when Shizuku-san is with Kaori-san, she's not "keeping her company," but "following" her because she's afraid of being left behind.
Shizuku's heart was shaken violently, her eyes wandering, and she looked at a loss.
Hajime couldn't help but laugh, and he said, "Everyone can see that Yaegashi likes Kaori," and the others nodded and replied, "Indeed."
Kaori said, "Hehe, I like Shizuku the most too." Shizuku wrapped her long ponytail around her face, sat on the chair with her knees hugged, and buried her face in her thighs.
Perhaps that's the Yaegashi-ryu style of enduring shame.
Ling read the following content with a smile.
"How should I put it... She's a lovely person. If all of us were carnivores, then Shizuku-san would probably be the only herbivore."
Hajime and the others inexplicably agreed, and as they murmured the word "herbivore," Miss Shizuku, who was using her ponytail to defend herself, suddenly shuddered.
My gaze returned to the magazine, which seemed to contain the conclusion of the Hiat Collection.
These are Princess Shia's thoughts on the female members. As expected of the Nanyun clan's one and only princess, she possesses both dignity and composure, a level different from the other women.
