And here’s the strategy the three of us came up with: Since Kaisar-sama is an insensitive tree, if we waited for him to guess our intentions, who knows how many years would pass before he would take such action, so we had to use force! Thus, we unanimously agreed to attack him in his sleep.
Normally, Kaisar-sama is quite perceptive, knowledgeable, and quick-witted, but when it comes to romance, he is a complete mess, and it is a well-known fact not only among us but also among Black Rose members.
“Come on, let’s go!”
“N-now that I’ve come this far, I’ll just have to go on the offensive! Do your best, me!”
“I’ve brought a high-resolution video magic tool with me today!”
“Leave it already.” x2
Then the three of us started walking down the path which led to the room where Kaisar-sama was sleeping.
“May I ask where you are heading to?”
At that time, Sarah, the self-appointed first slave, appeared in front of us and asked us where we were going.
And behind that Sarah, the five people chosen as Kaisar-sama’s aides stood with serious expressions.
“Depending on your reply, you understand, don’t you?” I can read that they are silently appealing to me.
This scene, combined with a sense of guilt because I was the one who was about to do something bad, made me feel a little intimidated for a moment, but I reminded myself that if I got scared here, I would never be able to do it.
“There’s only one reason we are heading down this corridor at midnight when all the bugs have gone to bed, isn’t there? What else could it be? We’re going to attack Kaisar-sama in his sleep now, you know?”
“No, I am relieved to hear you say that. Be sure to finish and definitely cross the line.”
[EDN: Rip.]
Unexpectedly, when I told her I planned to sneak into Kaisar-sama’s room at night, she insisted I should succeed.
From her expression, I could tell that she wasn’t joking and was serious, but on the contrary, she was someone who could stop our advance, so I couldn’t understand why Sarah was approving of our mission.
“Eh? Aren’t you standing in front of us, coming all the way here to… stop us from sneaking in the night?”
“You’re right. Although I don’t know why, whenever it comes to that sort of thing, I feel he takes a step, no, three, or even five steps back.”
“Indeed it is. That’s why we plan to sneak during the night, but how does that connect to affirming our mission?”
