90 - The King's Way (28)

Following the maid's instructions, I washed up briefly and changed into the everyday clothes I had been given.

I had secretly hoped that she would wash my body, but that didn't happen. It was a shame. The clothes I was wearing were soaked with sweat, so Louise gave me one as a gift. As expected of a noble, he was generous.

"wow…"

After that, I followed the maid back to the restaurant, where Louise, dressed in civilian clothes, was waiting for me. It was my first time seeing Louise without her armor… Siwoo was really frustrated that he had missed out on such a wonderful sight.

Louise was wearing a sky blue one-piece dress that matched her blue hair, but the fit of the dress was not pretty because of her overly large chest. However, since her flesh was slightly visible, that was no problem.

As expected, this knight has a great body.

"You are truly beautiful. As expected of the goddess Martha… You are a feast for the eyes today."

"Hmm! Stop talking nonsense."

There it goes again.

When I gave her my heartfelt compliments, Louise glared at me with a serious expression, but the corners of her mouth kept going up. She really is an easy person to understand.

"It was a good thing Siwoo went first. If he had been here, I wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight because I was thinking about Louise."

"Ahem! Stop it! … And that guy isn't interested in me anyway."

It's annoying.

This woman is upset because Siwoo left first.

Why are you so cute?

Louise stuck out her lower lip, made a sullen expression, and continued to swirl her wine glass with one hand. Anyone could tell that it was a 'I'm pissed' pose.

I did well to leave the country. I should try to appease Louise, at least for the sake of the two of us.

"On the contrary. Rather, he avoided the place because he was interested in Lady Louise."

"Hmm…? Isn't that a contradiction?"

"Hehehe, that guy Siwoo is really shy around women. He must have been embarrassed to be in the same place as a beauty like Louise."

"Hmm… I see… I see."

Wow, can a person's expression change so drastically? Louise, who had been gloomy just a moment ago, smiled brightly and took a sip of wine.

It seemed like she was happy with the thought that Siwoo was aware of her. As expected from one of the heroines, she seemed to be drawn to Siwoo.

Okay, then this is the time to make an appeal for Siwoo. This is the time to give Louise a lot of pushes to solidify her feelings for Siwoo.

"He's a really innocent guy. He's never dated a woman before and has only practiced his craft. That's why he lacks tolerance for beauties."

"… … But isn't Sophia a beautiful woman? She fits the word beauty so well."

Aha, that's it? You came to your senses because two handsome men and beautiful women were together?

But don't worry. Sophia has no interest in Siwoo at all. Siwoo is already an open goal. All you have to do is shoot and it's a goal.

"Hahaha. We are like family. Is there anyone who thinks of family as the opposite sex?"

"Hmm, that's true."

When I made that clear, Louise nodded and smiled with great satisfaction. At this point, her favorability towards Siwoo had probably gone up by at least a few levels.

Siwoo, you should be thanking me.

"But, Louise. What do you think of Siwoo

"Hmm?! Well, I don't really have any thoughts on that! I didn't say it with any ulterior motive!"

"Uh… haha. I was talking about Siwoo as a prosecutor. Didn't you spar with him in person today?"

"Huh? Ah, ahh…! Ugh, thump thump…"

They say that people who fall in love become fools, and Louise really was a cute fool. Louise blushed in embarrassment after being caught in her delusion.

And as if that wasn't enough, I was drinking wine too quickly and ended up spilling it on my dress. Oh, is it service time? Because of that, my dress got wet and my chest area clung to my body. It was really nice to see this kind of disgrace from a knight who had always been so perfect.

"Ahem… What an outstanding talent. It's hard to believe that you grew up without a teacher."

"Haha. Is that so? But it's still not enough. I hope you'll continue to give me guidance in the future."

"Leave it to me… No, Siwoo isn't the only one who needs guidance, right?"

"ha ha ha..."

Oh my, this doesn't work.

Still, this is a satisfactory result.

I've calmed down the upset Louise and I've also completed the proxy crush on Siwoo. Now, if I just make time for the two of them to be together, everything will work out fine.

The time when I can openly flirt with Sophia is really near.

**

The next day, Sophia went to see the women again. She said that they were still having a hard time when she met them yesterday, but she said that from today, she would help them until they could get back to reality. She really is a saint.

Siwoo and I, the two of us left, headed to Louise's mansion again today. Instead of taking on any requests for the time being, we decided to spend that time training with Louise.

You won't be able to increase your stats by hunting monsters, but you can at least gain experience and become skilled. You'll need to get stronger anyway, so this is beneficial in many ways.

But, this guy Siwoo,

Today, as soon as I finished my training, I left for Changgwan.

"Haha. That guy is so embarrassed."

And the next day too.

"Haha. That guy, that one."

And the next day too.

"Haha. That guy."

And then the next day too,

"haha."

Siwoo went to the window.

"… … "

Is that crazy kid really out of his mind?

I sent you here to get used to sex, but if you keep doing this, you'll end up paying all the money to the brothel. No matter how scary it is to be late, this is a bit much.

Aren't you suggesting that we give up on catching the Demon King and just live in Martha?

I was scared because I saw that there was some kind of attendance bonus at the brothel, and it seemed like there might be a chance of that happening since he had been working there for over a week.

No, and is it really a man's job to refuse Louise's dinner invitation every day? You're saying that a prostitute is better than Louise. This makes me think that I need to have a deep conversation with Siwoo.

"You're gone again today…"

Look at that. Look at him being so obviously disappointed. The main character who makes the sub-heroine like this! If it's really like Siwoo, then he's like Siwoo.

"I'm staying. Haha…"

Ugh, I have to take care of it again. If I keep doing this, my self-esteem will drop.

**

"Even so, at the dorms, he always talks about Louise. He says he's too embarrassed to look at her face, or that he learned something great today. He says he's been waiting for this moment before leaving today, and it's embarrassing to see how excited he is."

"I see…"

Ah, this is wrong.

This kind of praise has already reached a point where it is no longer acceptable. And now there is really nothing left to praise. If this continues, the operation will fail.

"But… aren't you still… refusing? As if you don't want to be with me…"

"Do you want to be with Siwoo, Louise?"

"Um… I just want to be friends with him…"

But you know, I don't think this is just Siwoo's problem.

Louise, this woman is just as shy as Siwoo. If she had shown a womanly side, like she is now, and been embarrassed in front of Siwoo, Siwoo would have fallen for her long ago. But she always gets nervous and acts overly serious, so Siwoo builds up an iron wall.

No, do you think you'd like someone who treats people like a red-hatted assistant? Even the favorability you had will disappear!

"…Is that so?"

And the fact that she's a slut is funny too. She wears armor that exposes her sternum and a one-piece dress that reveals all her underwear, but then she's a slut in front of the guy she likes?

She's a truly sub-heroine-like character.

Phew… Well, I guess there's nothing I can do about it.

In order to have a happy adventure with Sophia, I have to somehow connect the two. That means I have to solve that awkward part too. I have to change her.

"If you want to become friends with Siwoo, I can help you."

If Louise were a little more aggressive and tried to seduce Siwoo, wouldn't Siwoo come to his senses and pay more attention to Louise instead of going to the brothel?

Then, if you somehow manage to get Siwoo, who is crazy about sex, to cross the line with Louise, things will go smoothly from then on. Siwoo is not an irresponsible guy who eats and drinks, so if that happens, won't he become lovers with Louise? It's a happy ending.

"Hmm… Is there a way?"

"Of course. I will give you private lessons, Louise."

"Hmm! Please take care of it then."
