I! Cleaner!

"Okay."

Lyon nodded to show that he understood, and then got up and got off the carriage.

At the request of the lady-in-waiting, he put on a hood and covered most of his face. Then he walked into a restaurant called "Golden Vanilla" on the side of the road and found the private room that the princess had booked in advance.

Really... Even eating has to be secretive, just like an underground party meeting...

After complaining about the princess's weird style of dinner appointments, the hungry Leon took off his robe and sat in the obviously carefully cleaned private room, patiently waiting for the arrival of the dinner partner.

However, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes... more than forty minutes passed, and the princess who claimed that she would arrive within fifteen minutes still didn't even show up.

And after returning home in the morning, he slept for a whole day. The last time he ate was yesterday at noon. Leon was so hungry that his eyes were almost green.

Let's order something to eat first...

Lyon couldn't wait any longer, so he asked the waiter for a menu and prepared to eat something to fill his stomach. However, after reading the prices on the menu, he decisively gave up the idea of ​​ordering and ordered two glasses of water instead.

There was no way. Although cleaners were considered "high-paying jobs" and it was not that he couldn't afford it, he had only received two months' salary so far, but he had to pay for rent, tuition, furniture, Anna's medicine for conditioning her body, and cigarettes for the unlucky black goat...

After calculating all the expenses, there was not much left. In addition, Anna, who was in charge of the accounts at home, was sent out of the capital by himself. If the princess didn't come after ordering, then Anna would have a hard time in the week before she came back.

...

Really... I just repelled the evil god who tried to invade the world yesterday, but I couldn't even afford a good meal. I had to ask the director for another field subsidy when I got back.

After pinching his sadly empty wallet, Leon shook his head, then stood up and prepared to leave the box to find a cheaper place to fill his stomach first. However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the box.

"Leon?"

After hastily pushing open the door of the box, the dusty princess looked at Leon who had not left yet and let out a sigh of relief, then said with a guilty face:

"Something happened just now and delayed me. Sorry, you must be waiting anxiously?"

"It's okay, it will probably take a few more hours before I starve to death..."

After responding unhappily, looking at the princess with a tired face and a little blood on her elbow, Leon hesitated for a moment, then asked in surprise:

"Didn't you meet with the Prime Minister? Why are you so embarrassed?"

"Because I was plotted against..."

Hearing Leon's question, the princess couldn't help but smile bitterly, then said helplessly:

"Recently, I and the Minister of Defense have been , is promoting the selection of non-commissioned officers in the military, and is striving to gradually replace those non-commissioned officers who were promoted by family background among the third-level non-commissioned officers.

I was originally going to propose this selection order in the parliament in a few days, but it was leaked in advance, and not only this matter was leaked, but also my schedule for today.

Then, those non-commissioned officers who were worried about being replaced, under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives, united to block me outside the Prime Minister's residence. The patrolling guards should have been informed, and no one stopped them along the way.

After they blocked the official residence, they not only threw stones inside, but also almost pushed the guards away and rushed in. I finally ran out, and my arm was also broken at that time. "

Ah, this... No wonder eating is like stealing, it seems that the princess is not having a good time either...

Looking at the princess in front of him with sweat on her forehead and bleeding elbow, Leon's resentment was slightly reduced. Then he took out the [Infected Blood Belt] from the mirror world and said with a sympathetic look:

"Looking at the condition of your wound, you will probably leave a scar in the future. Do you want me to treat it for you?"

"Yes! Of course!"

After looking at Leon's expression, Princess Veronica raised the corner of her mouth, then sat next to Leon with a smile, pulled up her sleeves to reveal her snow-white arm, leaned her injured elbow over, and said in a tender voice:

"Leon, fortunately you are here~"

"..."

I feel like you are tricking me again...

Looking at The princess looked at him with a look of dependence, with stars twinkling in her eyes. Leon's head couldn't help but feel a little numb, and then he said unhappily:

"Don't pretend! If you rush here from the Prime Minister's residence, it will take at least 20 minutes on the road. You can treat the wound and bandage it in the carriage, right?"

"I'm in a hurry to see you~"

Deliberately playing the pitiful was seen through, and she was not embarrassed. While raising her white arm, she responded with a smile:

"You and I are usually very busy. It's rare to have some free time. Of course, we can rush as much as possible. Try to get together as much as possible while you are free. Otherwise, what if the relationship between husband and wife fades?"

"..."

No... I haven't even gotten married, where do we get the relationship between husband and wife? Did you borrow it from the Bank of Heaven and Earth?

Lyon couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard it, and then grabbed the white arm that was swaying in front of him, trying to wrap the [Infected Blood Belt] around it.

However, as soon as the princess's soft arm touched him, the cool and soft feeling, as if it was wrapped in a pool of water, made him slightly startled, and his right hand unconsciously pinched it lightly.

"Hmm..."

As if the wound was affected by Leon's action, Princess Veronica hummed lightly, and her two beautiful eyebrows could not help but slightly frown.

Realizing what he had done, Leon blushed slightly, and then he began to bandage in a hurry, and even accidentally got his fingertips tangled in it a little.

"Okay."

Hastefully activating the effect of [Infected Blood Belt], after healing the wound on the princess's arm, Leon slightly avoided her eyes and untied the bandage, but the white arm did not withdraw, but suddenly raised up and gently rubbed the corner of his lips.

"?"

Feeling the warm and soft touch of the corner of his lips, Leon could not help but be stunned for a moment, and then quickly pushed away the arm handed over, frowning and staring back.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing~"

After glancing at Leon's slightly red ears, Princess Veronica blinked her eyes, then covered her mouth with her hand, smiling and saying:

"You were so absorbed in watching just now, I thought you liked it~"

"I'm not interested!"

"You even pinched it a little."

"..."

"Do you still want to pinch it? If you do, you can continue~ I don't mind~"

"..."

"If you don't say anything, then I'll treat you as..."

"Hurry up and order! I'm starving!"

"Yeah, I'll listen to you~"

After pushing the board with the menu over, looking at the princess's pretty face that seemed to be smiling, Leon wanted to split a crack in the ground on the spot, and immediately dive in and never come out.

Damn! Really... Why can't I control this hand!

Haha, it's a good trick!

Seeing Leon, who had a face full of resentment when she first came, but now turned his head away subconsciously and dared not look at her, the princess smiled smugly, then lowered her sleeves to cover her arms, and picked up the menu standing by the table with a dignified manner.

After teasing, you have to let it go for a while, you can't continue. After all, although the little man has a tender face, he has a bad temper. If you tease him too much like last time, he will bite you~
