Shish put me down for a moment.
“Shish, where are you going!”
“I have something to contact the butler for a moment.”
"You can contact them over there. Wood will show you around."
I was caught trying to follow Shish, who was leaving for a moment.
My lifeline!
“What good is that, Prime Minister?”
Dietrich grumbled as he hugged me tightly.
“Why do you like me? You just get horny when you see me!”
“What can I do? I get excited just looking at you.”
Dietrich gave a set, manual-like answer. Having read the book just before coming to this world, I could recall every line.
When the heroine asked him to let her go and said she wanted to stop, Dietrich responded like this.
“Lily, I’m just being quiet. So please be nice to me.”
Yuno, who held my hand tightly, had bright eyes. This side wasn't much different.
At first, it was surprising that the characters I thought were fictional actually existed, but now, being with them felt strangely like watching a well-crafted play.
It feels like I'm looking at a vending machine that gives me the right answers and reactions when I type in the appropriate lines.
“Master, I’m here...”
Shish returned and frowned.
"Hmph."
Looking up, I saw Dietrich wearing a victorious smile, while Shish's face had frozen into a terrifying expression. Only Yuno innocently took my hand and clapped it three times.
“Shish, where are you going!”
“I have something to contact the butler for a moment.”
"You can contact them over there. Wood will show you around."

“Wow, that fish is alive! My eyes are spinning!”
"That's a chippy, a fish that can rotate its eyes 360 degrees. Is this your first time seeing this, sir?"
“Yeah! There’s a whole lot of legs over there... one, two, three... eighteen legs! What’s that?”
"Dried ones are popular as a snack. Curious?"
“Yeah. I want to eat.”
I think it tastes like squid!
The place we headed to was the fish market near the port.
I, who had been stuck there all along, insisted on going somewhere with lots of people and things to see.
The island near the tower was deserted.
So the decision is here.
I walked, holding Shish's hand in one hand and Yuno's hand in the other.
Dietrich was in charge of security. Of course, even if he were to hold my hand, he could respond immediately if someone attacked him.
However, Shish and Yuno, who wanted to stick with me, pushed him away with the excuse that they should do a good job of guarding me.
“The hood is about to come off.”
Shish opened my hood with his empty hands and gave it to me.
It's not like it's open off, it's like it's stuck on and doesn't move.
“You have to be careful not to show Lily’s pretty face.”
“That’s right. The author’s identity must not be revealed.”
“Your Excellency, you idiot knight commander, lower your voice.”
Shish said a word without missing a beat.
“I can’t let anyone else know that Lily is special.”
Dietrich couldn't refute Yuno because he was also nodding beside him.
Guys, I seem strange enough to have come with you three, don't I?
The prime minister, the knight commander, the tower lord. Yeah, let's say the tower lord, who's been locked up in the tower for a while, doesn't recognize anyone.
Would a person flanked by a prime minister and a knight commander look like an ordinary person?
“What else do you want to eat?”
Shish did not come alone, but brought an escort, and they were following us.
I don't know why I brought Dietrich and Yuno, but they did a great job as helpers.
“I want to go there too!”
Fearing that these guys might try to get into the tower, I ran towards a stall near the fish market.
No, I tried to run.
“You must be careful, master.”
“Lily, where are you going alone?”
The two men who held my hand tightly did not budge, so it was a spectacular failure.
“Damn it.”
In the meantime, someone approached me, and Dietrich drew his sword.
Literally divine speed.
I was watching with my mouth open in wonder, but the expression on the man's face as he was threatened by Dietrich's sword did not look very good.
“Your Excellency! Your Excellency!”
The man who quickly raised both hands and assumed a surrender pose was wearing a uniform.
"It's Taliro. What's going on?"
Dietrich, who had confirmed his opponent, sheathed his sword, and the Imperial Knight saluted.
“Your Excellency, was His Excellency there too?”
The knight also saluted Shish, and the mad prime minister smiled gently and greeted him.
“The person next to you is...”
The knight's gaze was fixed on Yuno, and his eyes widened as if he recognized who he was.
But the Knights Templar were always a group of serious people, so he quickly changed his expression.
Then he stared at the unidentified figure wearing a hood, holding the hands of the prime minister and the knight.
I was wearing a knee-length dress that Dietrich had brought, and walking shoes. The cloak extended just below my knees.
It was easy to tell that it was a woman, and the other person quickly came up with a plausible guess.
“Are you the Princess?”
The tone was decisive. The knight tried to greet me, but Yuno quickly frowned.
“How dare you compare Lily to something like that-”
“-Yuno.”
He waved his hand at the top of the tower, worried that he might get into a fight with the knight.
“But that guy mistook the lovely Lily for someone else!”
But Yuno doesn't listen to me.
Before things got too serious, I shook off Yuno's hand and grabbed him by the collar with a powerful grip.
“I told you to keep your mouth shut.”
"...Yes."
Yuno's cheeks turned red, and Shish looked at her with great interest.
Meanwhile, Dietrich explained that she was not the Princess, and the knight apologized and left.
Shameful, shameful!
Who set this up?
Yeah, me.
***
After a stormy day, night came.
We decided to sleep four people in one bed, and since the bed was very large, there was no problem at all for four people to sleep in it.
It's just that I was so out of it because we were both sleeping next to each other.
In the end, the monster with the stronger lower body, as designated by me, had to leave me. The shorter one, at least, didn't get to rub it all night...
“Why should I be the only one left behind by you?”
“I really like my seat.”
“Me too.”
Shishil and Yuno lay on either side of me, pretending not to hear Dietrich's complaints and chattering.
“Lily is really cute.”
"You know a thing or two, Magic Tower Master. It's especially cute when she rolls her eyes."
"That's right."
Dietrich, exhausted from grumbling, gave up and lay down next to Juno.
It was strange sleeping with so many people, let alone at a camp, but since when did I ever care about such things!
I, who eats and sleeps well wherever I go, lie down without a care. Since we were all gathered together, perhaps we were keeping each other in check, but no one did anything.
It's not as bad as I thought.
It's been a while since I've tasted peace.
“Why?”
I thought I fell asleep in an instant, but then I felt something wrap around my cheek.
"Hmm...?"
“Why, Master? Are you cold?”
When I came to my senses, I was burrowing into Shish's arms.
"No."
Why am I like this?
I was lying between Shish and Yuno, and when I came to, I was in Shish's arms again. It didn't seem like he pulled me, and I was like, "Hey, I came here?"
“Um... why again?”
"I'm here," Shish replied with a smile, as if he heard my silent cry.
“Why? That’s because I sleep here on purpose.”
Huh?
"Master, didn't you know you were sleeping facing this way? You always roll to the same side."
As I tried to roll my sleepy head, I realized that the position where Shish and I were lying was the same as when we were at his house.
So, you know, I keep turning to my right side, so you sleep here on purpose?
“Just give up and come here.”
Shish, who had embraced me, gently stroked my back. The feeling of a plain white shirt in his palm made me relax.
I like that Shish doesn't take his clothes off at any time.
...Why should I be happy about something like this?
I felt like I was about to cry, but Shish's embrace was warm, and I quickly fell asleep again.
"Hmm..."
Feeling empty inside, I reached out and felt around, only to find the right side empty. I sat up and looked around.
A man with red hair that shone in the moonlight stood next to a large man with blue hair on the far left of the bed.
Are you even holding something in your hand?
“...Shish?”
He raised his index finger and placed it at the corner of his mouth, carefully opening Dietrich's mouth, who was sleeping upright, with something.
Strangely enough, Dietrich didn't wake up... but he looked exactly like Shish, who was sleeping next to me, not waking up.
Come to think of it, everyone seems to be sleeping well next to me.
I thought it was because Yuno had defensive magic on, but Shish and Dietrich also slept well.
Is it because I bring peace to the person next to me, or is it because I am the female protagonist?
The heroine can't nullify magic, so I guess this is just a minor buff from the author.
I wondered what Shish was doing, but he put something in Dietrich's mouth. Then he quickly circled the bed and returned to his seat.
“Phew!”
Soon, Dietrich sat up with a painful groan.
