「If you want to meet Ouka-sama, you have to defeat us first!」
Ouka Love Ranger Red shouts.
「If you insist」
「Bube!?」「Gya!?」「Gua!?」「Gee!?」「……!?」
Five people fall simultaneously to the ground.
It was an instakill.
Leaving them as is would be troublesome, so I picked them up planning to put them in one place, but I met a familiar beauty.
「Karuna-dono! You have come! tte, what is this……?」
Ouka stares at wonder at the five unconscious people.
「They seem to be called Ouka Love Rangers Squadron」
「Wh, what is that……? Ah, I have seen this fellow before! It’s the fellow who often stalked me in the past! No, not just him. This one too, and this one…… e, every single one of them!」
They seem to be criminals……
「I was somehow suddenly attacked」
「How could they do that to Onihime-sama’s benefactor……! Karuna-dono, so sorry」
「No, it’s alright」
Nevertheless, as expected of the hero of Oni tribe.
According to〈Pinnacle of Information〉her popularity is on the same level as an idol and there are many unofficial fan clubs.
By the way, Onihime is different as she rarely appears in the public so not many people know her, unlike Ouka.
The pathetic Ouka Love Rangers Squadron has been taken away by palace guards.
◇ ◇ ◇
Guided by Ouka, we arrive at the throne room.
The floor is filled with tatami and the walls with fusuma1. It really is a Japanese-styled building.
It’s possible that a person from Japan visited this place in the past.
There’s a higher place in front of us where Onihime should shop up, but she isn’t here yet.
I heard subtle voices from behind the fusuma.
I strengthen my hearing with〈Pinnacle of Five Senses〉and eavesdrop.
「O, Ouka…… I, I…… d, don’t look weird, do I……?」
「Of course not. Onihime-sama always carries out her tasks splendidly」
「N, not that…… that…… m, my appearances…… are they not…… strange……」
「Of course not. Princess always looks lovely」
「…… T, thank you……」
「Now. Karuna-dono is already waiting for you」
「……」
「Is something wrong?」
「Uu…… A, after all, it’s embarrassing……」
「…… Embarrasing? What might you be talking about?」
「I, I mean…… that………… Uuuu……」
「……? We shouldn’t keep him waiting too much……」
「T, that’s right, huh………… yo, yosh」
Panpan, I hear a creaking sound and the fusuma slowly opens.
