We already know, so we could just reveal that you are a girl.
While thinking of something like that… ..
『I-If so, I’d have to get out of the boys’ dorm… ..』
Cruxie told me by telepathy.
I would like to prioritize my honor as a man in this case.
Ahem, then Marisha coughed trying to dispell this undescribable atmosphere.
[I-It seems that Cruxie-shi has no interest in women]
Even though she was puzzled, she seemed somewhat relieved.
If it is known that Cruxie has an interest in men and is with me, I suppose the suspicions and concerns with the princess will be alleviated.
When the princess who was in a mental shock was finally taken away by the members of her unit, Cruxie sighed in relief.
[I’m sorry]
[…… I-It’s okay. Well, it can’t be helped ……]
As I responded to Cruxie’s apologies, and imagined all kinds of weird looks people show from now on, I could only sigh.

After a few days the princess summoned me.
The place is her room in the girls’ dorm.
Since Aria always comes to my room, it’s the first time I’ve ever come to the girls’ dorm.
It’s not that boys are forbidden to enter the girls’ dorm, but since there are only girls in the building, it makes me feel uncomfortable walking down the hall and passing each other.
[I was waiting for you. Please come in]
It was Marisha who welcomed me.
It seems that she lives with the princess in the room.
The princess room is located on the upper floor of the bedroom, I suppose it is specially prepared for the royal family.
It was much larger than the one I am using.
When I was shown into the reception room, the princess was waiting with a straight face.
And she stood up when she saw me come in.
[I’m not going to give up! I will definitely make Cruxie-sama stand by my side! It’s a duel!]
To think that it would be a declaration of war from the princess.
…… I even thought about telling her that Cruxie is actually a girl.

When I was walking down the hall after leaving the princess room, Marisha chased me for some reason and stopped me.
[…… I’m very sorry about before]
[No, I don’t think there is a need for you to apologize]
I think somehow I understand that she also has a difficult time with the princess.
[I want to thank you again for saving Her Highness …… but do you really not want any rewards?]
[I’m fine, it’s not that I helped because I wanted a reward. I don’t want to stand and complicate things]
[……….]
We rescued the princess, but I asked them to keep it a secret.
The reason is as I said.
In Cruxie’s case, even without that, he already stands out.
I don’t want to get caught up in unnecessary trouble.
It seems that the princess did not accept it very well to say, and it took a lot to convince her… ..
[Thank you]
After Marisha thanked me, she spoke with a complicated face.
[…… It’s awkward to say something like this while receiving such consideration ……]
[What’s the matter?]
[…… The fact that a man came to her highness’s room will raise several suspicions]
Seriously?
The day after that, the rumor that I tried to get my hands on the princess had spread throughout the school.
『Just make it happen! —– for now you are love rivals, but eventually you will be attracted to each other …… 』
