An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

The almost forgotten nun girl comes out to stir up trouble! It feels like the women's war is about to begin!

"Choose! Will you give up on the prince? Or will you be pierced by this dagger and disappear into the sea foam?"

The nun held her hands flat, clasping a dagger—no, it looked like a greatsword, one in each hand. It seemed the nun was a seasoned dual-greaser.

“…You are the one who will vanish into the sea foam! Die!”

"Very good! Prince, watch! I'll get rid of this thieving witch right now!"

The two women started fighting, and a love war for the prince began.

The prince silently watched the castle gradually crumbling. Then the mermaid princess said:

"My mom is a healer."

“…Is that so? That’s a good thing.”

The prince's eyes became very gentle when he looked at the mermaid mother. The mermaid mother's cheeks turned slightly red, and it seemed that she was not so cruel as the flowing water.

As a result, not only the mermaid mother, but also the witch and the nun girl, everyone gathered around the prince. The cheat rabbit and the perverted dragon also joined in as if nothing had happened, and the mermaid princess and her prince father lived a happy and lively life forever.

“…Shia, alright Shia~”

During a break after conquering the Ice Cave, Yue's coquettish voice emanated from the kitchen in one of the rooms in the innermost palace. Shizuku, who happened to be passing by the hallway in front of the kitchen, couldn't help but notice it and quietly peeked out from behind the door.

"Really? No, Miss Yue, only one per person."

"...Kaori's share isn't needed, so just one more! Just one more will be fine!"

"No, I'm the only one who'll cry without Miss Kaori, so no means no! Besides, you already had one extra during the tasting, so please be content!"

I see. Apparently, Shia made cupcakes and arranged tea time so everyone could have a good rest. But Yue, who came to sample the cupcakes, seemed to be asking for another, sacrificing Kaori's portion.

"...Because Shia's cakes are delicious."

"Yeah, hey, I'm glad you said that, but no."

“…Think of something!”

"Are you a child?!"

The way Yue grabbed Xia's cute pink apron and pulled it hard really looked like a very willful child.

(Hmm… Yue is actually acting like a spoiled child towards Shia. Ever since coming to the Great Labyrinth, their relationship has become even better.)

At first, Yue was clearly the older sister, and Shia the troublesome younger sister, but now their positions seem to have reversed. Shia, however, is still Shia, and perhaps because she's pleased to see Yue's willful behavior, she has a relaxed expression, and her bunny ears flutter wildly, as if in high spirits.

It was only natural when she thought about it. Until now, she had only seen Yue like that when she was alone with Hajime. In other words, Shia's presence had made Yue even more special, so it was only natural for her to be so happy.

"...Hmm, Shia, who do you think is more important, me or Kaori?!"

"Hey, what's going on? It's such a troublesome question."

“…You said it was troublesome!? Damn you, Shia, you didn’t treat me any differently… So that’s it!”

"Ah, what are you doing, Miss Yue!? You're not allowed to rub the tail! You know it's a weak spot! Ah, stop rubbing it!"

“…I rub it, I rub it! I rub it, I rub it!”

"Stop rubbing it and it's getting more obscene!"

As Yue rubbed her rabbit tail recklessly, Xiya gradually lost her balance and the two twisted together. Seeing this, Xiya, with a flushed face, fought back and started tickling Yue's armpits!

Seeing the two of them playing together very intimately, with no room for others to interfere, one can't help but smile.

(I won't get in their way. Let's get out of here before we get caught... Anyway, Yue, being so willful... is so cute that it's a bit unfair.)

Whether it was being willful or acting like a spoiled brat, it was a somewhat enviable sight for Shizuku, who was new to the subject. "Why not just try being willful with Kaori?" Shizuku thought to herself, then quietly left the scene with a wry smile.

After a while──

The soothing tea party time begins with the aroma of cupcakes and black tea.

"Mmm, it's delicious, as expected of Shia."

"It's really delicious... I'm pretty good at making desserts, but I'm still not as good as Shia."

Hearing Hajime and Kaori's praise, Shia said, "Yeah, hehe~ I'm glad it suits your taste!" with a big smile on her face. And Theo and the others kept saying "delicious", which made Shia's bunny ears sway shyly.

Shizuku, like everyone else, was full of praise, but her attention had subconsciously shifted to Yue. She gracefully cut a piece of cake with a fork, gently placing it between her lips. She closed her eyes, savoring the cake carefully, swallowing it thoroughly before uttering, "...Mmm, delicious."

Yue's lips curled up, and she reached for the tea, bringing it and the saucer to her lips. She savored the fragrance for a moment before gently pressing her lips against it and tilting the cup. During that time, Yue's back straightened as if supported by a stick, her legs gracefully pressed together. Her posture was unforced, everything felt so natural.

(…Looking at it again now, Yue isn’t so much elegant as she is quite graceful. She’s not usually like that, but in unexpected moments like this, it feels natural…)

Yue was originally a royal family among the vampires, so there was nothing strange about it. However, in the eyes of Shizuku, an ordinary citizen, it seemed that—

(She is so beautiful in every gesture...)

Just the sight of her sitting and drinking tea was so beautiful she could barely stop herself from staring at it... Shizuku was envious, so she began to try to imitate her. After all, she was a devoted martial artist, so she was confident in her posture. She began by carefully observing the moon before her, then straightened her back, keeping her legs together, and tilting the cup while maintaining a graceful fingertips motion. Finally, she closed her eyes and savored the flavor.

(…Is the imitation perfect? ​​It doesn’t feel realistic. I really need to practice in front of a mirror.)

Shizuku opened her eyes while thinking this...and her gaze met Yue's.

"Hmm, cough!"

"Shizuku-chan, are you okay?"

Kaori, sitting nearby, was startled by Shizuku's sudden choking and immediately offered her a handkerchief. Choking on tea entering the trachea is not a graceful act, and Shizuku, overwhelmed by shame at this failure, blushed and thanked Kaori.

At this moment, Shizuku suddenly felt a gaze, the cold gaze of Yue that she was very familiar with. Although she was too embarrassed to look him in the eye, she was still certain of it. Yue slowly stood up, then walked over to Shizuku and Kaori, and said to the stunned Kaori—

"W-What? What's wrong, Yue—"

"……drink!"

Yue said this, and used gravity magic to throw her next to Hajime—where she had been sitting just now.

As everyone gaped at the sudden outrage, Yue gently lifted up her and Kaori's cake and tea, swapped places, and sat directly next to Shizuku, apparently intending to change seats. Kaori, finally realizing her intention, protested, "Communicating with words is important!"

"Yue, Yue~ Isn't it too much to throw someone out suddenly?! Too much!"

"...Sissy Kaori wanted to sit next to Hajime like an idiot, so I gave it to you."

"Stop calling me idiot!"

“…Then change it back?”

“… That’s all right. Thank you.”

"……Um!"

How bizarre. Yue actually gave it to Kaori! Is the sky going to fall apart tomorrow?! Is the world ending?! Such thoughts raged. And in this vortex of confusion, Shizuku, who was the most confused after their eyes met and suddenly appeared beside her, spoke tremblingly:

"Uh, Yue? Why—"

"...Shizuku, you don't want to drink?"

"Huh? Uh..."

Yue stared at the cup that Shizuku had accidentally choked on. Then he looked at Shizuku again, tilted his head slightly, and asked again:

“…You don’t want to drink?”

“I, I drink…”

Shizuku, feeling a strange pressure, reached for the cup. She was looking. Yue-sama was looking! Staring intently! He kept staring at her—and she wouldn't let go!

(How can I drink this!)

I was trying to enjoy my tea gracefully, like the moon, so I was so nervous that the cup and saucer started to rattle and shake.

So──

"...Calm down. Shizuku's posture is already beautiful, so it won't be difficult. Pull your arm a little closer, and realize that your fingertips are approaching the cup, not your mouth."

Light's hands rested gently on Shizuku's arm and the saucer, correcting it slightly.

"Uh, um... is that so?"

Although a little confused, Shizuku did as she was told, took a sip of black tea, and glanced at Yue.

"...Mm, beautiful. You did a great job."

Teacher Yue smiled gently. She placed her hand gently on Shizuku's head as if she was treating an outstanding student, saying "Good boy, good boy" and stroking it.

"Tsuki, thank you... Yue."

Shizuku felt incredibly embarrassed, yet equally happy. As she realized her face was heating up, she thought of Yue, who had been acting so childishly just moments before, now adopting the airs of a forgiving older sister, almost as if by surprise. Furthermore, Yue looked no older than fifteen, so even if she was mistaken, she wouldn't be considered any younger. This alone felt unfair. Add to that her charm, which captivated even her own sex, and it was natural for her to think, "I can't win against her."

"Hey, hey, Yue! Don't try to please my little Shizuku!"

Seeing Shizuku, blushing, obediently being patted on the head, and Yue narrowing her eyes lovingly, Kaori roared, perhaps thinking, "My good friend is being taken away!?" As for Shizuku, she defended herself with, "Kaori!? You said I was being co-opted! That's a misunderstanding!"

"...Huh, idiot Kaori. When did you start to have the delusion that we've always been friends?"

Lady Yue enthusiastically played the villain. She pulled Shizuku's head toward her chest, a malicious smile on her face. Kaori would undoubtedly declare, "I won't leave Shizuku-chan to you!" and stand up majestically. Hajime and the others, "Oh, it's started again..." with wry smiles.

At this moment──

"So, so cunning! Shizuku-chan is taking all the advantage! How cunning!"

"Xiao-Xiaoling?"

"Tsuki-sama! Ling-ling also wants to be won over by Yue-sama!"

What is this guy talking about... Not only Hajime, but also Ryuutarou and Kouki showed helpless expressions. Seeing this, Yue spoke arrogantly:

"...Alright, regardless of whether it's Suzu or Shizuku, I'll take her in! And Shia's already captivated by me! It goes without saying that Theo's a pet! So, Kaori will be---alone!"

"Amazing! As expected of Yue! Incredible! What a heinous attack!"

Ling was overjoyed and said "Hehehe" like an old man; Shia smiled and said "Hey, I can't deny it~"; Theo was panting with laughter; and finally Kaori said "Hmm~~~" in anger.

Under such circumstances, Shizuku, who was being held tightly, raised her eyes and tried to offer Yue some advice... but Yue winked at her. It seemed that Shizuku, wanting to imitate Yue in front of everyone and even get praised, was embarrassed and deliberately changed the atmosphere.

(Ahh, really... I really can't compare to her...)

Shizuku thought so, and said with a cheerful smile:

"Thank you, Yue. As expected of Nagumo-san's beloved vampire princess, aren't you?"

Yue's answer was—

"……Um!"

It was a beautiful, very self-satisfied expression that was brimming with confidence and was irresistibly endearing.

It is a quiet place there.

In the deep forest shrouded in white mist, the spring water sparkled with a blue glow, as if scattered with fragments of moonstone.

And she was standing by the pool.

Her long, straight hair, parted in the middle, was as smooth as silk, gleaming with a platinum sheen. Her skin was a frighteningly white, and she wore a pure white dress, seeming to blend in with the mist.

The straight nose bridge, pale pink lips, emerald eyes, and slender corners of the eyes are all like works of art, so beautiful that people can't help but sigh.

Her beauty even makes people think that she is a fantasy creature such as an elf or a fairy.

Although she is so mysterious, her special ears barely prove the fact that she is human.

The long, slender ears like bamboo leaves are undoubtedly the characteristics of the forest people.
