It’s a maiden’s secret!?
“Eh, um, errr…”
“Wa-wait, everyone, please calm down…”
Seeing Mariel-chan being cornered by the three, Ronnie-sama reached out for the wand, but Ruby’s kick exploded on Ronnie-sama’s chin.
“B-beh!”
Just in time, Adry-sama supported Ronnie-sama, who seemed about to fall backward.
Good job, Adry-sama!
If he had fallen, he might have hit his head.
“Geez, trying to forcibly touch a maiden’s secret belongings is not something a gentleman should do, right!?”
After delivering a splendid kick, Ruby landed smoothly and glared at Ronnie-sama, who was swaying with the support of Adry-sama.
“Ruby-dono, indeed, what this fellow did was impolite. I deeply apologize. I will scold him severely later, so could you forgive him?”
Master Marlen stepped forward, as if he was protecting Ronnie-sama and Adry-sama, and apologized.
“I guess it can’t be helped. I’ll spare you for the sake of your face. Make sure to discipline him properly, okay? Also, keep this magic tool a secret, alright? I mi~ght have overdone it a bit.”
“I appreciate your kindness, Ruby-dono.”
Ruby’s gesture of shrugging her shoulders with an expression of “oh well” was met with relieved nods not only from Master Marlen but also from Ronnie-sama and Adry-sama.
“I dislike brats and kids with no manners. Remember that… and you there, peeking, too.”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing Ruby’s words, I followed her gaze and saw Alicia-sama slumped in the shadows near the entrance beyond the remains of the targeted wall.
“Alicia-sama!?”
“Uh… well, you see, this is, uh…”
“Well, instead of sitting there like that, come over here.”
Seeing Alicia-sama seemingly unable to stand due to her weakened knees, Ruby twisted her front leg, and Alicia-sama teleported right next to us.
“Eek…!”
With Alicia-sama still slumped, Ruby approached her.
“My, my, my. Peeking isn’t something a lady should do, you know? What do you think is the right thing to do in a situation like this?”
Ruby cheerfully said with a playful voice, forcibly folding his short front legs and tilting his head, causing Alicia-sama to flinch.
