10 Reversal of position

"But why did Uto-sama do that?"

"... It 's a bit boring to stay in the castle for a long time. I just wanted to go out to change my mind."

　I answered honestly.

"... That's right. Certainly, until now I was worried about Uto-sama, so I tied Uto-sama to this castle, and on the contrary, it might have caused trouble."

　Henri said with a painful expression. Is this also a form of self-harm.

"It is no longer necessary to have subordinates who cannot see the feelings of the Lord."

"You don't need to do that. I'm sorry I didn't try and talk to you first before going out of the castle."

"That 's right! There 's no mess!"

"I am very grateful to Henri for always thinking about me. I want you to continue doing your best from now on."

"Ah ... Ah ... Thank you for your words ... !!"

　Polo and tears spill from Henri's eyes. I have now seen a girl's crying face twice a day.

"It's good you see my point. Go back to your place soon."

"Yes, yes!"

　The demons gathered in the hall disappeared immediately, and only me and Henry were left.

"By the way, where have you been done?"

　I'm nervous about Henri's question. I cannot say honestly that "I helped the villagers attacked by bandits and brought a human girl back home." It may be a magical act of the King, such as putting a shoulder on a human being.

"Uto-sama ...?"

　Henri tilts her head strangely when she sees me stuck in the answer. Let's answer here appropriately.

"... what, I've just killed a few humans over the boredom. I want to hear human screams after a long time."

"That 's right! You 're Ute-sama!"

　Henri's face is as bright as the sun. Well, it's true that some bandits have been killed, and not a complete lie.

"And Ute, what are you going to do with that doll?"

　Henri looks toward the throne. There was a doll created by [Creation] sitting as a substitute for me. It looks just like me, but Henri quickly saw it as a dummy and it didn't make sense.

"I don't need that doll anymore and I'm thinking of disposing of it.

"So, is it okay if I keep it !?"

"No? Well, I don't mind ..."

"Thank you!!"

　When Henri hugged my doll, she showed me a very happy face and left the hall. What do you use that for?

"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting"

　When I returned to my bedroom, I saw Lina sitting on the floor.

"... How about sitting on a chair or bed instead of the floor?"

"No, no, this is enough ...!"

　Lina shakes her head full. It makes me hurt to see a girl sit on the floor, but is that all right now?

　I sit down on my bed and cross my arms. What should we do now? I can't hide a human girl in my bedroom forever. But I have no intention of abandoning Lina. I was the one who told hee that I would take care of her until I found what I wanted to do. Is there any good way?

"!!"

　I heard a knock on the bedroom door twice and my shoulder shook. Isn't it Henri!? No, if Lina gets caught by Henri, it will surely be killed-no, she will be tortured!!

"Lina, I'll hide in that right now"

　I shouted, pointing at the closet in the back. Lina whispered small and hid herself in the closet without resistance.

"I'm sorry. Please be patient for a while."

　I close my closet. Then when I said "put", the door opened quietly. After all it was Henry.

"Ut-sama, You must be tired after going out today. I brought your drink."

"Oh, It's just a drink. Henri you doesn't need to bring it your self."

"There are words that are unnecessarily. I 'm here to help Uto-sama."

　On the way, Henry's words stop and her eyebrows move. And I found Henri's expression steep.

"What's wrong with Henri?"

"This nasty smell ... definitely smells like a human."

　The reason she knew the substitute doll was faik was also odor, is Henri's nose really that good !?

"... Foot. I've been playing with humans for a long time. Maybe there's a human odor in my clothes. I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."

"No, this is obviously a humans smell."

　Is that more than that? No more than a dog! Then Henri's eyes were pointed towards the closet.

"The source of odor is from there."

　Gikutsu !!

"Uto-sama. I'm well aware that it's rude, but is it okay to look inside that closet?"

"... No, no!"

"Why is it?"

"It's in the adolescent boy's closet !? You can almost imagine what's in it!"

"...? I'm sorry, I mean no offense ..."

　I'm not a puberty boy anymore! If that's the case, it's useless!

"We will accept any punishment later on, so please let me check only in that closet."

"That's ... !!"

"..."

"..."

　Silence comes for a while. I can't evacuate Lina because my [swift movement] cannot be used for distant objects.

　A lot of sweat runs out of my forehead. For now, I and Henri's positions were completely reversed.

"I 'm sorry."

"Ah !?

　Henri goes straight to the closet. Before I moved to stop it, Henri opened the closet. Of course, there was a figure of Lina hugging her body.

　Oh ... It's over ...
