223 Episode 223 "Operation to Escape the Viscount Family by Rita and Letizia".txt (2/2)

'I guess I like the wild look. How about we break out the dress for a bit?

Let's do it.

And so, the ”video shoot” with Rita and Leticia continued...

”............ ha!

The next thing I knew, two hours had passed.

'...... You know what, ...... Letitia'

There's a website for that, Rita.

Are you sure it's safe to send this video to Nagi: ......?

It got a little too out of control. ......

I'll think about it when I'm properly dressed for now.

Let's do it.

Rita unbuttoned her dress, which only held one button, and took it off, which had become wrinkled.

Leticia did the same.

I inadvertently broke out of my dress to show Rita a sample.

My face heats up now as I remember how I was dressed.

'But it's no problem. It's Rita's video that I'm sending you.

I hate to say it, Letitia.

What is it?

”'True Consciousness Sharing' means I can send what I see as a video to Nagi.

I know. And?

”During the shoot, Leticia would show me samples of poses and say, 'Here's what it looks like,'

Yes, Rita, you're right about that.

'Yes. I saw and mimicked Letitia's pose properly.

That's true. Rita-san, you have to see me pose properly.

Ha.

Leticia's eyes widened.

'True Consciousness Sharing' sends what Rita saw (・・・・) to Nagi as a video.

Rita looked at Letitia's pose (...) and took a cute pose.

So that means──.

...... Rita.

...... Leticia.

How about we decide what to do with the video after we leave here: ......?

Agreed. Can we get out of here and ask Nagi about it?

You can't do that. Nagi-san, of course he wants to see it.

Really?

'That's right. I'm sure Nagi would say something like, 'I would definitely want to see Rita in her cute little form. I'll keep it forever and play it on repeat,' of course she would say something like that.

'That's what I'm talking about, Letitia. I know the Nagi.

You're my best friend.

It's what my best friend says. I'm sure of it.

Yes, Nagi-san will definitely want to see Rita's cute videos. She'll be very angry if I turn it off and...

...... 'Send'.

Oh, ──────!

That was the moment Viscountess Letitia Mirfe dug her grave.

Moments later, in the corridors of Viscount Myrphe's house.

Please wait!　Lady Letitia. Sir!

The soldiers who had been waiting in the corridor shouted out when they saw Leticia and Rita.

They both changed into their leather armor and priestly uniforms, respectively, and carried their luggage on their backs.

No matter how you look at it, they were preparing for a journey.

''Please return to your rooms!　The Viscount has ordered the two of you not to leave the house until the day of the Martial Arts Tournament.

Please return to your rooms.

The soldiers crossed their sticks and blocked their path.

'Well, that's troubling. Your body will become lame if you remain confined to your room.'

Leticia nodded her head in a ladylike manner.

''I have to move my body a little bit to prepare for the competition so that I can achieve something that I won't be ashamed of as a Viscount,''

The training schedule has already been prepared by the Viscount.

Your father?

Yeah. Her training partner will be here in a few minutes.

Well, I'm sorry about that.

Leticia huffed, and her shoulders slumped.

Seeing her expression loosen up, the guards also relaxed their bodies.

''If that's the case, I'll take my leave now. Thank you for your service.''

Letitia said and bowed deeply.

'Well, well, well, be polite.

It's good to hear you say that, Lady Letitia, and it helps us all.

Following her, the soldiers bow deeply.

Ten or so seconds later.

When the soldiers finally looked up, Leticia and the others had disappeared.

''Huh?　Where is Lady Letitia at ......?

I thought you were back in your room: ......?

I didn't hear any footsteps.

Even if I turned around and looked at the end of the corridor - there was no sign of these women.

As a soldier, they couldn't just step into the room of a noblewoman's daughter.

They hurriedly called the mansion's maid.

''This is no joke. We were hired for the 'Martial Arts Tournament'!

”Find it now!　We have to bring those ladies back!

The soldiers began to run, shouting.

'The mission is a success!'

You can keep it that way for a while. Letitia.

Rita was running down the corridor of the mansion, carrying Leticia on her back.

She had been asked by Nagi to make a 'mansion escape plan' for such a situation.

The method is simple.

Rita and Leticia would leave the mansion in the shortest possible distance.

When they meet someone on the way, Leticia greets them (greetings) with 'Forced Civility (Manners Geass)'.

In the meantime, Rita will carry Leticia, who can't move, on her back as she runs. That's all.

''Nagi-san's strategy is simple and effective, isn't it?

There's no way to miss it, right?

The two of them went out the window at the end of the street and into the garden.

Rita left Letitia behind and ran up the garden tree.

In one fell swoop, she jumped to the top of the fence and draped a rope made from shredded curtains.

While Rita was dropping her bags over the wall, Leticia quickly climbed up the rope.

'As expected of Leticia, you're used to it.

I've been a runaway since I was a kid.

Halfway up, Rita's hand reached her.

'Wait, Letitia!　Where do you think you're going?

At the same time as they were standing on the wall, a voice sounded.

I looked - Leticia's father, Viscount Mirfe, and the guards were about to come out of the mansion.

''We won't allow you to go outside!　The Viscount family has already entered the 'Martial Arts Competition'!

I have a stomach ache, so I'll take the rest of the day off.

No!　You've made it to the third round, and if you're one step closer to losing to the strongest swordsman, the story is set!

If it's a given, then your father should be there.

Letitia sighed as she looked down at her father.

'Or it could be a child of your father's second wife's side, or even a cousin who will be taking over the Viscount's family in my place. I've known for ten years now that such talks are in progress.

...... Letitia. You are.

I've already done my job well. I took part in the New Lord's Party in Ilgafa to fulfill my duties as the Viscount Mirfe's representative. Didn't we agree that this would be the last time?　Be free. Father.

All right. That's the last time.

...... ”Would you please 'Contract' (contract)?

”Don't be so formal, my daughter.

Yes. I don't like to be formal, either.

Letitia looked around at her father and the soldiers and bowed.

She murmured in a whisper. ''Activate 'Forced Civility (Manner Gears)''.

And then──''

Goodbye. I'm sure we'll meet again. I wish you all good health and peace.

「「「「「 This is very kind of you: ──────」」」」」

「「「「............ ha! 」」」」

Viscount Mirfe and his soldiers bowed their heads... and when they raised them...

Letitia and Rita had disappeared from the mansion completely.
