In front of me is this country’s princess, Erinu Azerlaims, that has her eyes closed.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her again face to face, but she really is beautiful, is what  I thought.

She was just a dream during my 『1st time』.
However she became my wife in my 『2nd time』.

(Erinu… you…)

Her heartbeat resonates to my chest.
Normally I would have already stolen her lips, like a wild beast full of l.u.s.t.

“…? Kazuha… sama…?”

Erinu once again peeks at me.
She’s really cute.
Any man would beg just to be in this situation.

(… For some reason the tension drop…)

And I think I know the reason.

Erinu blushes because of me.
And seriously, her heart is beating much faster than the time I was a man, making me doubt myself.

I don’t even know if she had that characteristic in her.
Not even once have I seen her like this.

“… Am… I… not good enough…?”

Erinu continues to attack me.
Kinda making me back off in the process.

… No, I can’t back off now.
Rather if I do back off then it proves that my heart has turned to a woman, right?
Even if it’s impossible I’ll need to up the tension with Erinu――！

“KYA!”

I then forcibly hug the princess and bring her to the bed.

“Ka-kazuha-sama…!”

I then roughly throw her onto the bed.

“…Erinu… I’m sorry…”

I apologize.
Probably she didn’t want this but looking at this situation then my part is more dangerous.

“… If you’re fine with me… then… do as you please, Kazuha-sama… I fine with it…”

Without even fixing her hair, Erinu once again close her eyes.
Imma do it…! Imma really do it…!
But in the first place she was my wife and when I was a man, I did feast on her lots of time so there no room for hesitation.

I love Erinu.
And most likely Erinu loves me too.
But why?

Why am I not getting turned on?

“…”

“?”

“… *sigh”

“… Kazuha-sama?”

I separate from Erinu and sigh with all my heart.
This is wrong.
This isn’t like me.
What am I doing.

“…Hey, Erinu. Will you listen to my fairy tail? To atone for my sin of pushing you down”

I mutter as I hold my head.
I think I would prefer talking to her.
Zegius, Alzein and Selen already know a bit of the circ.u.mstances.
And revealing this won’t be a problem, I think.

“… I understand, Kazuha-sama… It’s a bit regretful that we couldn’t…”

I didn’t hear the last part but I can imagine as much.

Thereafter I tell Erinu what had happened until now.

“…Is that… really true…?”

Erinu utter as she holds her mouth.
Can’t blame her.
Anyone wouldn’t believe this kind of fairy tale.

“But Erinu, if it’s you then wouldn’t you know someone like that?”

“…”

Erinu thinks about what I said.
I know her very well.
I also know that she is a very intellectual person.

“… Yes. If what Kazuha-sama says were 『true』 then… a lot of things come together”

She then gave an explanation as I hoped for.

It’s the 『a lot of things come together』.

Why I have this astounding 『power』.
Why I gather the hero army to destroy the demon lord army and bring peace to the world.
Why I am surrounded by a fairy, Ruru, an ex-maou, Selen, an ex-brave little sister, Rei, and a lot of people.

And――.

“… The real reason why I am attracted towards Kazuha-sama…”

“Ah…”

Erinu softly kiss me.
A peck.
However this kiss was filled with her kindess and her trust for me.

“『Ononogi Kazuto』-sama… This is Kazuha-sama’s 『real name』. And my husband… 『Kazuto Axeplant』-sama… The real brave that serves me…”

She mutter as she kisses me again.
But this time a more pa.s.sionate one.

(…Erinu…)

I then unconciously pull her towards me.
I match her breathing and return her kiss.
A kiss that fills the hole of both our existence.

How long has it been.

She suddenly let go.

“… Kazuha-sama. How do you plant to spend your time here in this world…?”

Erinu says with a straight face.

“… Yeah… Just like what I told you a while ago…  I won’t get involved with the 『hero army』 nor the 『demon lord army』, rather I’ll create a 『third power』, the 《Axeplant Kingdom》. And maybe the king will a.s.sign a new 『hero』 that will defeat demon lord――”

“… So you’ll pose as the reinforcement of the demon lord army and fight against the hero army…”

“Yeah, I guess that’s what will happen”

I must tell her the truth.
Cause I don’t want to get to my 『4th time』.

“… So, rather than protect, you’ll empower the demon lord army and destroy the hero army… Kazuha-sama please a.s.sist the hero army, so that you’ll balance the power of the armies…”

Erinu is probably talking about the speech during the founding ceremony of 《Axeplant Kingdom》.
Therefore I founded the 《Axeplant Kingdom》 to be a neutral power.

I agree to her words as I stroke her hair.

“… What will you do? Report me to your dad? Then use 《forbidden magic》 to restrain me from helping the demon lord army?”

“! … To think that you know that much… Fufu, the 《treasure of Azerlaims》 the 《forbidden magic of shadow》, however I’m afraid I do not know if it will affect you or not”

Yup.
Here below 《Azerlaims castle》’s bas.e.m.e.nt lies a single copy of a 《forbidden magic》 which is heavily guarded.
I did once try to get my hands onto the book but even though I was a hero before, I couldn’t do it.
I’ve already lost my 《fire magic》, the thing that I want or as I would call it 『the ultimate weapon』.

…. But, if I do use it then just like last time I would lose my 《shadow magic》.

“I’m not that really good at dealing with your father… Especially now that I’m a woman now, it’ll be traumatic”

“Fufu, I guess so. Father’s thinking has always been on male chauvinism… But now it’s a bit different… Because of a certain 『war maiden』…”

Erinu mischievously smile.
Somehow the mood has gradually settled.
I guess I do need Erinu.
This feeling of relief is from her and only her.

“… Haa. I feel more relieved now that I’ve talked it out. Thanks Erinu”

I got up from the bed and stretch.
Erinu wouldn’t betray me.
Since even before we are strongly linked to each other.

“… It’s still too early, Kazuha-sama”

“Eh?”

“I’m… still not satisfied”

“… I guess you aren’t”

To think that a prim and proper princess would show a bewitching smile as she pulls me towards the bed.
I’m underneath and Erinu is on top of me.

“Are you ready…? Kazuha-sama…?”

Jeez, it’s become a situation that I can’t even ask『ready for what?』.
Even if I was a man or a woman.
This relation can only be achieved with this much trust between each other.

But perhaps it’s not necessary for me to ask Erinu.

“… Do you… know what both female will do, Erinu-san…”

Wanna see some spoiler that I too have seen because… …. I don’t know man… I just don’t.
