It’s only been a few days after living at Crown castle. Ellis is on his way to a dangerous mission with Jude while Kate stays at the castle. She’s in the common room having cocktails with everyone who wanted to have a drink after dinner when she murmur’s to herself that she want’s to know more of what Ellis likes. Alfons picks up on what she says, and he asks if she’s referring to bedroom play, and after she denies it, the other guys chime in. Roger says they seem so happy everyday that he didn’t expect that to hear that from her; Harrison says he thought things were going well too because they’re always making out; Liam says that Crown has been brightened by this aura of happiness, and Alfons adds that their happiness has even seemed to poison Jude. “So what’s the problem?” Elbert asks.
She says that most of the things Ellis wants to do is what she’s still happy to do, Roger and Alfons are confused, so she explains that he’s always agreeable and never complains. Really she is worried that he is just “putting up”, with her. As the guys start to chime in, Kate finds out that Ellis is standing in the room behind her (apparently he heard their conversation.) So, when she says, “welcome back”, he tells her that he likes that, and in the following days during various activities, such as waking him up in the morning or when they are eating gelato with Jude, Ellis will tell her when he likes something.
The gelato scene is quite funny because after he tells her he likes taking a break from work with sweets, Jude is like: “What’s that? I like it, I like it. Ya keep sayin’ that.” So Ellis tells Jude that he is going to steal a bite of his gelato, (in case you don’t know, this is something Ellis does regularly with Jude. It was mentioned in a previous story event).
Jude: Oi!
Jude’s eyerbows furrow as his gelato is robbed from him
Ellis: I noticed that when Kate told me. Maybe, I’m a bit of a prankster.
Jude: I know. (lil’ eye roll Jude.)
Kate is actually jealous of their relationship because Jude knows more about Ellis than she does, so she asks:
Kate:…You won’t steal from me?
Ellis: ….
Ellis: I like that too. You’re jealousy.
Ellis whispers that into her ear almost causing her to drop her gelato, but Ellis takes a bite of it and just laughs.
Later on, she and Ellis get caught in a rainstorm while out walking on the hill top, and she’s worried that at times like this, maybe he’d rather be running around (like he used to with his brother), so she suggests a race. She starts running hard and Ellis easily catches up to her, and asks her what’s with the race all of a sudden, seeing how easily he caught up to her, she runs harder and trips over herself, but Ellis catches her and they land (?) on each other.
Ellis holds her in his arms and guesses that she suggested the race because he had told her that he liked to run previously. She fesses up that that was her intention, but she failed at it and apologizes. Ellis tells her that he likes running with her even if it’s not at full speed, whether it’s hand in hand or in his arms.
While she is happy, everything Ellis seems to like is designed to please her and it bothers her, still her love for him grows and when she wraps her arms around him tightly, he tells her that he likes that too. He tells her that he also loves how she smells good and rubs the tip of his nose to the nape of her neck, it causes her to feel tingly, so she kisses his forehead and tells him that she loves him, and he says, “I love you too,” laughing happily.
After dinner at the castle, Ellis dries her hair after a shower and asks her why she wanted to know what he likes, mentioning he heard Al say that he wants to be naughty. Kate clarifies that she knows Ellis is slowly learning to become more selfish, but she still thinks that he’s holding back.
Ellis says that while he does have the habit of putting another person ahead of himself, he wondered if she would be surprised at how selfish he could be? Kate exclaims that if there’s anything he’s holding back, he just needs to say the world.
Ellis: Yea…..okay, this way.
Ellis pulls her by the hand to the bed and pushes her down on it, and he whispers into her ear that he’d love to hold her until the morning. He says that Kate always gets so “squishy” that he has to hold back, and when he thinks she’s going to deny him, he puts on this puppy face frown and asks, “..No?” Of course, NO ONE could say no to that face and she gives him permission.
He promises to make her feel good. (That’s literally all that happened.) The next morning they wake up in bed, her hair messed up from him railing her all night. Ellis strokes her with his long fingers, and then says sorry for going so hard on her, and Kate believe the guy who was looking at her with so much concern is the same guy from last night. (Bro, WTF? I want that scene please!)
She tells him that it’s okay and that she is happy. At first, he is shocked and then he smiles and says that this might be his most favorite thing of all. “This?” she asks.
Ellis: Kate you look so happy even though you can’t lift a finger.
A hint of dark desire flickers into Ellis’ smile. She could feel Ellis’ love her that was both sweet and distorted to it’s core, which made her skin tremble.
Kate: Ellis, you really are a troublesome lover.
Ellis: I think you’re the one who’s made me so selfish……and you think I’m the troublesome lover?
Kate: …..Guess we both are.
The wrap their arms around each other and enjoy the sunlight filtering through the window.
Ellis: You don’t mind me being a troublesome lover?
Kate: Nope. Annoy me more and more.
I am so entwined in your love that I can’t move. Tomorrow too, let’s enjoy everyday filled with “love” together!

T/N: Gave up on trying to fix the images
"I want you to kiss me."
The moment I entered the room and pleaded with Will, he gave me exactly what I desired.
After sitting on the bed together, Will traced my palate with his gentle tongue, and my body trembled with joy.
However,
William: ...
Suddenly, Will stopped kissing, and my body, left hanging, throbbed with a sense of longing.
Kate: Will?
William: For someone who pleaded for a kiss with such intensity, you seem distracted, Kate.
Kate: N-no, it's just...
William: Can't focus on kissing me, got some other 'business' on your mind?
Kate: No, it's not that! There's no other business... but...
I hesitated to tell him about the unfortunate incident.
(...Oh, but sooner or later, Will will find out.)
(Given Will's nature, he might already know... maybe he's deliberately asking to hear it from my mouth.)
Above all, because I want to face Will with a free and unburdened heart, I decided to confess today's events.
Kate: Actually...
William: ...'Kissed by a stranger'?
Kate: Yes, on my way back from today's mission, I was confronted... unable to escape it, just once.
The man I encountered on the roadside seemed drunk, persistently bothering me.
No matter how clearly I rejected him, he forcibly took my hand and brought his lips close.
Kate: Harrison and Liam, who came later, managed to drive him away, so there were no further consequences.
Kate: But... I can't forgive myself for allowing anyone other than Will to touch me.
I washed my hands repeatedly when I got home, to the point where my skin felt irritated.
Yet, the disgust from being touched couldn't be completely washed away, tormenting me.
Kate: ...I want to dedicate my life to Will as his servant.
Kate: My body and heart exist for Will alone, and I don't want to surrender them to anyone else. But... I allowed a kiss, and I regret it.
Feeling frustrated with myself, my fingertips trembled as I tightly clenched my fist on my knee.
William: Did you plead for a kiss to forget?
Kate: Yes... I'm sorry. I made you deal with my own issues.
William: No need to apologize. The one at fault is the man who forced himself on you, isn't it?
Will took my hand firmly and laid a kiss on the palm.
(...I heard somewhere that a kiss on the palm is a plea.)
Not something taken by force, but a kiss filled with respect, like showing that I have value worth pleading for. It warmed my heart.
(Even without using the cursed ability, Will's words have a mysterious power.)
(The inability to resist, the discomfort from being touched, all slowly melted away...)
The man who forcibly approached me is the only one at fault, and I finally forgave myself.
Kate: ...Thank you, Will.
William: Just stating the obvious. Now, there's nothing to cloud your mind, right?
Kate: ...Can I ask for a little selfishness?
Kate: I want you to kiss me. Many times, enough to make today's events fade away.
In truth, my heart is already healed with the words Will gave me.
I won't even notice if that man passes by me in the city; Will must understand my inner thoughts.
(So this is just... an invitation, a line used just to kiss my lover.)
William: If you wish, as much as you want.
With a seductive smile, Will embraced me from behind.
Kate: Will...?
In this position, isn’t it difficult for our lips to meet?
I tried to turn around, calling his name in confusion, but
William: Stay like this.
I was restrained, and a kiss was dropped behind my ear.
Will's tongue crawled along the curve, making a wet sound.
Kate: ...Ah, n-no.
William: Kate... don't suppress your voice.
William: After hearing it so many times, there's nothing embarrassing about it now, is there?
Kate: But... to feel so much from just the ear... isn't it strange?
Just being embraced from behind and kissed on the ear, warmth accumulated inside my body.
William: It's not strange. Kate, it's cute how you react so honestly to your feelings.
Will lightly nibbled on my ear, and his tongue slid into my ear canal.
William: Mmm... haah...
Kate: Mm... ah... haah...
Trying to endure the sweet throbbing, I hugged the cushion tightly against my knees.
William: ...Should have changed the position.
Kate: Eh...?
William: If our bodies were facing the other way, you would have clung to me, right?
Kate: Hehe... it's like you're jealous of the cushion.
William: I can get jealous. I can't catch you as softly as a cushion.
// I get jealous too. Softly catching you like a feather is something my body can't do.
As Will joked, I couldn't help but laugh.
(Normally, if someone is jealous, it would be of a person, not a cushion, right?)
(I can't imagine Will being jealous, but that's okay.)
Will's jealousy will probably remain forever unexplored, and that's fine.
As long as we understand that we love each other more than anyone else, there's no need for jealousy.
Releasing the cushion that became the target of jealousy, I faced Will directly.
William: Do you know this saying?
William: A kiss on the hand is a kiss of respect. On the forehead, a kiss of friendship. On the cheek, a kiss of satisfaction.
William: On the lips, a kiss of love. On closed eyes, a kiss of admiration/yearning. On the palm, a kiss of pleading.
William: On the arm and neck, a kiss of desire... any other kiss is considered 'madness,' according to the whims of the poet.
Kate: I heard this in a play once. It was titled 'Kiss,' wasn't it?
Will nodded and pulled me close again.
William: When I remembered this poem, I thought of choosing one and giving it to you, Kate... but I decided against it.
William: Narrowing down my feelings for you to just one is more challenging than any mission.
Kate: ...In that case, give me all of them.
William: Of course. That's the plan.
William: Whether you're ready to accept all those emotions... there's no need to ask.
As if engraving all the emotions into me, Will continued to kiss me following the poem.
Liam: Mission complete! ...Although, we probably didn't need to come. Will pretty much took care of everything.
Harrison: The illegal organization has been completely wiped out. Whether the headcount matches or not, let's count the bodies.
Liam: Okay! 1, 2, 3, 4... 4?
Liam: ...Huh? Hey, Harry, doesn't this guy look familiar from somewhere?
Harrison: Even if you say he looks familiar... His face is all messed up, isn't it impossible to identify him?
Liam: Hmm... this build, the shape of the head, that plain-patterned shirt... I feel like I've seen him somewhere, though...
Liam: ...Ah, got it! This is the guy who was pestering Kate not too long ago!
Liam: You know, grabbed her hand forcibly, made a loud smooching sound, kissed her forcefully!
Harrison: Oh yeah, I remember now. That guy...
Liam: Will, you didn't say anything when you saw the target's information. But did you know about him?
Harrison: Knowing Will, he probably planned this method of killing, right?
The man had used a knife to cut off his own lips, leaving a gruesome sight.
Liam: Kate, you're loved.
Harrison: To speak of love in this situation... not the best sight, I think...
The story's in his POV. As usual, can’t guarantee 100% accuracy on this
Nsfw. Awkwardly translated smut.
They say that something predestined, something that cannot be changed or avoided, is called fate.
Being born male, female, or otherwise.
Where and when you were born, how long you'll live and when you'll die, all of these seem to be predetermined.
I've always been looking for a way to fight against all of that.

Roger: Hey, Jude. Cut back on those cigarettes. You don't know when those lungs of yours will fail.
Jude: Quit yer yappin'. Are ya my mom or somethin'?
Roger: Don't remember givin' birth to an arrogant, swearing bastard like you.
As I walk away after finishing up Jude's regular check up, my ears pick up the hustle and bustle of the dining room.
Roger: Huh? They're bein' awfully noisy.
As expected, when I entered the dining room, I found Harrison listening to a distraught Liam.
Roger: Hey, what's up? Did somethin' happen?
Liam: Kate isn't back yet so I want to go look for her now.
(The little lady?)
Roger: Calm down... You're not gonna find anything if you run out in the dark.
Harrison: Yeah, Roger's right. You were the last one to see Kate, weren't you Liam?
Liam nods.
Jude: You were supposed ta be watchin' 'er. Why'd ya let 'er go about as she pleases?
Liam: Tomorrow's Roger's birthday so we went out shopping to celebrate in advance.
I thought about dressing up a bit and doing some stuff that'll surprise Roger.
Harrison: Liam, I now there's something you don't want to tell us, but now's not the time.
Liam: After we finished shopping, we parted ways near Leadenhall Market.
Kate told me to go home first because she wanted to buy something in secret.
Harrison: Where'd you and Kate part?
Liam: At a bakery called "Harmony". Around there.
Harrison: If it's around there then...flowers, huh?
Liam: Flowers?
Harrison: Did she go by herself to get flowers for Roger?
Roger: Me?
Harrison: Yeah. There's a popular flower shop in alley where Liam and Kate parted ways. She probably knew about it.
Jude, who was quiet this whole time, muttered something troubling.
Jude: Tha's right, there's been some strange incidents lately. The naïve princess must've gotten mixed up in it.
That woman (the queen) must 'ave some kind of info. Maybe.
Roger: I'll go get Victor...
--
There's been some kidnappings recently where Kate was now alone.
All those kidnapped were women, and those who were lucky enough to escape only had their hair cut, so it seems like they were kidnapped to sell their hair at a high price.
Based on the information from Victor, it was decided that Crown would search several hideouts of the criminals.
Harry and I ran through the back alleys of London in the dark.
Roger: ...? Hey, Harry. I can hear a man...and the faint voice of a woman through this door.
Harrison: May that's it. Let's go.
The man's voice gets clearer as we head down the path leading to the basement.
Men with guns and knives gathered in the dark.
(I see. So a bunch of thugs were kidnapping people)
Bearded man: After our watch is done, let's go for a drink- Huh, who're you?
In the dim light, Harrison and I exchanged glances. In times like this, a liar and traitor's quick thinking is useful.
Roger: Don't be so guarded. We're your buddies. We thought we'd take part too.
Bearded man: Huh? What're you on about? We'll lose our share with more people.
Harrison: Don't be like that. The police have been sniffing around lately.
Bearded man: The police...?
Harrison: We got contacts in the police. I got info on how to escape them.
Man with a gun: Hey... Wouldn't it be better if we brought them in?
Roger: Oh, we got a right to choose though. Let's hear some details about what you guys are doin'.
Bearded man: It's simple. You kidnap a woman to sell her hair and if she gets out of line, you kill her. That's it.
Man with a gun: In this day and age, a corpse has some value so it's like killing two birds with one stone.
(Yep, these are definitely the guys. Can't mess this-)

Warnings and FAQ
The soft rays of sunlight poured in, brightening the room.
Through the open windows, cherry blossom petals could be seen fluttering in the garden with the pleasant spring breeze.
… On this tranquil early afternoon in springtime that felt perfect for doing absolutely anything relaxing, my brain was grinding its gears at full power.
Kate: A Straight Flush!
I confidently declared, finally having a strong hand of cards after being on a losing streak.
Harrison: … Oh? That’s a pretty good hand you got there.
Kate: Fufu, how's this? Can’t beat me now, huh?
Harrison: … It’s bad manners to show my foot, but I shall show my hand.
Kate: Eh?
Harrison: Yup, Royal Straight Flush.
Kate: Since when did you have a hand this good!?
Harrison: I just got it without realising.
Kate: *sigh*... I lost again. I really want to beat you, Harry.
Harrison: … Then how about we play a game of ‘Doubt’ next?
‘Doubt’ was a game where the players place a card from their hand facedown on the table and take turns to declare the number on the card, aiming to clear all cards on hand as quickly as possible.
The fastest player to end up with no cards on hand wins.
… However, players are allowed to lie about the number on the card.
The other players may doubt the truthfulness of the number declared and call it out by saying “Doubt”.
Kate: The point of this game is to either see through your opponent's lies or be convincing enough not to get caught…
Kate: But you never fail to see through my lies… I think this game isn’t fair to me!
Harrison: You can play silently without declaring the number on your card.
Harrison: I’ll declare the number on my card, and give you a little extra help.
Kate: … What do you mean?
Harrison: Just the number doesn't serve as a good hint, right?
Harrison: Therefore, I’ll tell you a ‘truth’ when I’m declaring the correct number on the card.
Harrison: When I’m declaring the false number, I’ll tell a ‘lie’.
Kate: So you’ll tell me the number and a statement… that's two pieces of information.
Harrison: With this level of disadvantage on my end, do you think you can win?
The corners of Harry’s mouth lifted into a confident grin.
(It’s frustrating, but… this is my perfect chance to beat Harry.)
Harrison: Let’s give it a go. You first.
Harry shuffled the deck of cards and dealt me a few.
Kate: Hmm…
(I should place ‘A’ down since it’s the first round.)
I placed the ‘A’ card facedown, according to the rules of the game.
Harrison: You’re starting off with a common card, huh.
(How does he know that when I haven't said anything…?)
Harrison: … My turn next.
Harrison: The number of my card is 2, and ‘I had fish for dinner last night’.
Kate: Oh… that’s a lie. Doubt!
We had dinner together yesterday and it was a meat dish, so that’s a lie.
Harrison: Yup, you’re right.
Harrison chuckled and revealed his card.
The number on the card was 6.
Harrison: What do you think? This way, my abilities will be limited.
(If he tells a lie every time he declares a false number… there’s a possibility I’ll win!)
Kate: Got it, let’s proceed with this rule!
Our game of Doubt lasted for approximately an hour.
Throughout the game, Harry sometimes saw through my lies and vice versa. We were soon approaching the end.
(Harry has only one card left on hand…)
Harrison: My bad, looks like this will be my win.
(I have to come up with a lie here somehow to win…!)
Harrison: … Before that, there’s something we haven't decided on.
Kate: Haven't decided on…?
Harrison: The penalty game for the loser.
Kate: You’re talking about the penalty while we’re in this situation…
Harrison: You don’t have confidence you’ll win? … That can’t be helped, then.
Harrison: If you’re already prepared to lose, there’ll be no penalty game.
Kate: I didn’t exactly say I have no confidence…
Instigated by Harry’s words, I responded vaguely.
Harrison: If that’s the case, then the penalty game will be ‘the loser has to listen to the winner’s every word for the rest of the day’.
Kate: … Got it.
(I wonder what on earth will he make me do…)
(…! This won’t do. I haven’t officially lost the game yet, I still have to try to win!)
Harrison: Well then, this is my last card. The card is an ‘A’, and…
Harrison: ‘I want to kiss you right now’.
Kate: … Huh?
Harrison: Now, is that the truth or a lie?
Kate: D-Doubt!
Harrison: … Huh? Are you saying that I don’t want to kiss you?
Harrison: You’re denying my feelings of wanting to kiss you? … That’s sad.
Kate: …
(I can’t call it a lie when he puts it that way…)
Kate: I-I take it back.
With that, Harry laid down his final card and the game ended.
Harrison: Thanks to you, I won the game.
(It’s frustrating to lose to him again, but more than that…)
I couldn’t take my eyes off Harry’s card laying facedown on the table.
Harrison: Why don’t you flip it over if you’re curious?
Kate: … Can I?
Harrison: The result of the game has already been decided, so go ahead.
(If the card is an ‘A’, it'll mean that Harry wants to kiss me…)
My heart was thumping loudly with the sweet anticipation—
Kate: Huh…?
— The card wasn't an ‘A’, but a ‘3’.
Kate: … That was a lie?
Harrison: This game is all about lying, isn’t it?
Kate: …
(Harry doesn’t want to kiss me…)
On top of feeling frustrated that I lost the game, I also felt disappointed that Harry didn’t want to kiss me.
While I sat there disheartened… Harry drew a few cards from the deck and held them in his hand.
I watched him absentmindedly, wondering what he was up to when the game had already ended…
Harry put his other hand over mine on the table.
Harrison: Saying that I want to kiss you is a lie.
Kate: … Y-You don’t have to say it again. Don't you think it makes me look pathetic?
Harrison: Why?
Kate: Because I… I’m the only one who wants a kiss…
Kate: … Having such one-sided feelings is pathetic.
Harrison: … I said I lied about wanting to kiss you, but I have a reason for that.
Kate: A reason…?
Harrison: … Because just a kiss isn’t enough.
Harry chuckled.
Harrison: This card is an ‘A’. … ‘I want to hold you so tightly, you can’t escape’.
Saying those honeyed words. Harry flipped the card over.
He pointed his chin at it, urging me to turn it over, and so I did.
(It was as Harry said, the card was an ‘A’...)
(... This means Harry does want to hold me.)
Harrison: The next card… is a ‘2’.
Harrison: ‘Kissing your lips isn’t enough. I want to kiss and leave marks all over your body’.
Harry placed the card facedown on the table again, and I quickly flipped it over to look at the number.
(He’s right… it’s a ‘2’.)
Kate: Harry…
Harrison: … I still have cards leftover. You’ll let me complete the game, right?
Harry continued playing the right cards while voicing out the things he wanted to do with me, until he reached the ‘Q’ card.
— If the card is correct, he’s telling the truth.
Everything Harry said so far was, without a doubt, his truest feelings.
Harrison: Lastly… this card is a ‘K’.
Harrison: ‘I’ve had enough of spending time with you today, so I think it's okay for us to go our separate ways after this’.
(This is…)
Kate: Doubt!
Harrison: … You win.
The card wasn’t a ‘K’, but an ‘A’.
He was lying about thinking it’s okay for us to go our separate ways, so the truth is…
Kate: … You want to continue spending time with me after this?
Harrison: Yeah, that’s right. So…
Harrison: … Will you take responsibility for exposing my lie?
Kate: Yes, I’d love to!
Kate: Ah… before that, shouldn’t we do the penalty game to be fair?
Harrison: You had one win and one loss. They cancel each other out, don't they?
Kate: The penalty is part of the game, so let’s give each other a penalty.
(The penalty we agreed on was… ‘the loser has to listen to the winner’s every word for the rest of the day’.)
(In that case… I know what I want to do with Harry.)
Kate: I’ve decided what I want to do for the penalty. What about you?
Harrison: … I’m probably thinking the exact same thing you're thinking of.
Kate: Let’s say it together. Ready… go!
Kate: I want to do all the ‘truths’ you told me.
Harrison: I want to do everything I said earlier.
Our feelings were mutual and we burst into laughter.
Harrison: Well then… we shall start with kisses.
— The darkness of the night long forgotten, the two of us drowned in the sweetness of games and penalties.
Being played by Harry’s mean lies and truths had me falling for him all over again.

Victor asked me to take the Crown's physical measurements for the purpose of health management and research—
I visited Ellis, who was easy to ask first, and it turned out to be the right decision.
Thanks to his great cooperation, the measurements proceeded very quickly.
Kate: “Thank you for your cooperation, Ellis. This concludes the measurement of your upper body."
Ellis: "That's good. By the way, Miss Kate, there's something I was curious about......"
Ellis: "Can you lend me a hand?"
Kate: "......? Yes, sure."
I held out my hand, wondering what he was going to do, and Ellis's hand came to rest on mine—
My hand was guided and touched his chest, which was bare…..for measurement.
I feel his moist skin all over my palm.
Ellis: ".….If you're interested in my body, you can touch it."
Kate: "Eh!? Uh, how.….”
Ellis: “Because I felt like I could feel your eyes piercing through me while you were measuring for my chest. ……Was it my misunderstanding?"
Kate: "You misunderstood..., there was nothing.”
Ellis looks slender when he's dressed, but when he takes his clothes off, he has an unexpectedly masculine body.
Although the measurements are taken seriously, I couldn't help but admire his thick chest and his well-defined abdominal muscles.
(I thought I was keeping a level head, but he knew.... How embarrassing……)
Ellis: “As much as you like, Miss Kate, go ahead.”
Kate: "E-Even if you ask me to go ahead….."
Even if I'm interested in touching another person's body, especially a man's body, my reservation and embarrassment will prevail.
(I know you're saying this for me, Ellis, but....I'll say no.)
I tried to take his hand away, saying It was fine if I didn’t touch him.
However, Ellis is holding my hand tighter than I imagined, and I can't get away from him even a little.
Ellis: "You don't have to hold back on me, so feel free to check with your hands."
You noticed I tried to take my hand away, your hands are literally so strong.
(If you've told me this much, it's not right to say no.….isn't it?)
(If I reject him excessively, then it seems like I'm being weirdly conscious of Ellis.....)
Deciding to accept the kindness, I slid my hand over his skin.
Kate: "....Muscles are softer than I thought. I thought it was harder."
Ellis: “When you're relaxed, yes. When you're exerting yourself, though, it gets harder......"
Kate: "Wow, that's amazing...!”
(Still, I think people are reluctant to have their skin touched...)
(Is Ellis used to being touched by other people…..?)
Even though the fun seems to rise, my heart is in turmoil at the defencelessness of Ellis, who let me touch him without any odd hesitation.
Ellis: "What's wrong?"
Kate: “Well......I was wondering if you do this to anyone who asks you to.”
Regret comes immediately after speaking out.
I knew Ellis was kind to everyone, but I speak as if I’m blaming him.
Ellis: “…..Don't worry, I didn't do anything that you would be worried about.”
The reply was ambiguous, as if it were an answer, but it wasn't.
I also notice a strange pause before the reply.
(What are the things that worry me? Have you ever let some else touches you, if only a little?…..)
Ellis's trivial words and actions have stuck with me, and I don't feel refreshed, as if a lees has settled in my mind.
(There's no reason to feel like this, but why am I.….)
Ellis: “If it still bothers you... Do you want to try touching somewhere else?”
Ellis: "....I really haven't shown this place to anyone, I haven't let anyone touch it."
Ellis: "Only for Miss Kate, special"
Kate: “Eh….”
Ellis pulled my hand again.
The hand that was touching his chest went down through his stomach.....and stop at his waist.
Kate: “….Ellis?”
Ellis: “No one touches it from here down, so go ahead.”
What Ellis is showing is below the bottoms... his lower body.
Kate: "Ah, uh..... This is not usually a place to let people touch, is it?"
Ellis: “What would you like to do, Miss Kate?”
Ellis: "Rather than normal or common sense, I want to do what you want to do."
Ellis: "I've been thinking about how to make you happy."
Even if that feeling of Ellis is one that is poured out without division to all.
I was the only one in his eyes right now.
Kate: "I, am......"
(......If there is a place on Ellis's body where only I am allowed, I want to touch it.)
The sweet sound of "special" made me forget to reply and my throat started to throb.
Ellis: ".....You can do whatever you want."
I finally gave a small nod as my gentle forgiveness.
Ellis: “Shall we proceed slowly? Let's start with........to the first joint of your finger."
Is Ellis pulling my hand, or am I proceeding with my own will? I don't know anymore.
My fingertips slip under his bottoms without any sense of reality, as if I were in a dream.
Ellis: "Second joint........”
Kate: “Ah.”
My advanced fingertips feel the rough texture of the skin. It's hot and humid inside.
Ellis: “Hmm. …..fufu, I’ve gone all the way in to the base of your fingers, haven't I?"
Ellis smiled like a child whose prank had succeeded.
Contrary to that innocence, I felt like I was doing something I shouldn’t...., I was scared.
Kate: "Uh, I guess..."
I came to my senses and pulled out my fingertips, grazing the deep part of him.
Ellis: “Nn…gh”
(……!)
Ellis: “Sorry..... I was so ticklish, I made a weird noise."
Kate: “N-no, it’s not….”
Ellis's sweet voice, which leaked a little, remains in my ears.
(The fact that I'm the only one who can touch Ellis here...)
(And that lovely voice I just heard, is that just for me?)
The thought of it is irresistibly lovely and makes me want to touch and listen to it again.
(But, as expected, no more...)
Ellis: "....More touches if you like, Miss Kate."
Taking my hesitant hand again, Ellis let me touch it through the bottoms.
Kate: “……Uh”
I gasped as I felt something passionately insisting on the area I touched.
Ellis: "This is what happened, so...I would like you to lend me a hand."
Kate: "B-but...I already had taken your body measurements.….”
I finally remember my job and give my opinion with a voice that seems to disappear.
Ellis: "Well then..... Do you want to check here with your hands? If it's a measurement, then there's no problem."
Kate: "...............I got it."
(It's just an extra of his body measurements, just to make sure......)
Like a butterfly lured by sweet nectar, I slipped my hand there again.
Ellis: “Ah... Haa….."
As I stroke him slowly while watching him, Ellis lets out a hot exhale of aggravation.
Ellis: “Miss, Kate…..”
(.....I'm weird. I can't take my eyes off him.)
He is so lovely, so cute, so disturbed by my hand that I want to see more of him.
Driven by the impulse, I moved my fingers with a strong and weak pressure so that Ellis could feel good.
Ellis: “……Nngh”
Kate: “Here…..is it?”
Ellis: "Nnm..... There, it feels good...."
His hips swayed loosely as he rubbed against my hand.
I was happy to know that I wasn't the only one who wanted to be touched.
(.....I want you to feel even better with my hand.)
At first, it was only my fingertips, but gradually I used the whole palm of my hand to wrap it up and continued to stimulate it.
Ellis: “……Nngh!”
Kate: "I-I'm sorry. Did I push too hard...?"
Ellis: “No... I'm fine. I just felt so good I was about to lose it."
Ellis: “You can touch me however you like. ....I'll make my place exclusive to you, Miss Kate."
(I, exclusive….)
The haze in my mind that I felt when I thought Ellis might have let someone else touched him cleared up.
(I see….. I wanted to monopolise you.)
(I didn't want anyone else to touch or see Ellis...that's what I thought)
If you know your feelings, there is only one thing to do.
As time permits, I continued to touch where only I was allowed and stare at Ellis, who exhaled shallowly.

The condition for receiving the entire bonus from Her Majesty, is to steal Kate’s heart.
When the battle begins, three shadows with villainous expressions appear in Crown Castle.
Alfons: Such rowdy party. Let’s enjoy it to the fullest!
Roger: If I collect the full bonus, I can use it toward research and alcohol expenses. I’ll have to go all in.
Alfons & Roger: Ah!
Alfons: Oh, Roger. What a coincidence to run into you here, please move aside.
Roger: I've got business up ahead, too. You get out of my way.
Jude: Don’t block the way. Your both huge and your in the way.
Jude: Oh?
Jude: What do ya guys have there?
Roger: A sack.
Alfons: Does it look like anything other than a rope?
Jude: So, you'll bag her, tie her up and kidnap her....
Alfons & Roger: Please don't ask if you already know.
Alfons: You're so evil, Jude, to immediately notice what we're trying to do, aren't you?
Jude: Thanks.
Alfons: This game is about capturing Kate’s heart.
Alfons: In short, the winner is the one who takes the necklace that Kate has!
Alfons: In that case, any means are fine.
Jude: These guys are bastards.
Roger: I think you were the one who was going to kidnap Kate, weren't you?
Jude: You'll know it when you see it.
Roger: That's surprising. I thought you'd just say it's rubbish and not get involved.
Jude: You know the rules, you just take the woman’s necklace and the money rolls in.
Jude: It's rags to riches business in terms of cost-effectiveness.
Roger: You're pretty much a bastard yourself. Well, I guess fighting the good fight doesn't suit us.
Alfons: Let's fight fair and square until there's only one left standing!
Alfons: That's what I was thinking until just now, but when I thought about it, aren’t we at a disadvantage?
Roger & Jude: Disadvantage?
Alfons: Each of us cursed ones has our own special abilities….
Alfons: Isn’t our self-righteous king William, a bit of a cheat?
Roger: The "do as I say" is definitely a cheat.
Roger: If he uses that, it's game over in an instant.
Jude: It's hard to tell what he’s thinking. It’s really creepy.
Alfons: Therefore. The clever Alphonse came up with an idea.
Alfons: Why don't the three of us join forces?
Alfons: It's what we call a joint front.
Roger: Certainly, the three of us working together would be more efficient than working alone.
Roger: Fine, I'm in.
Alfons: You are indeed an efficiency-oriented muscle man. How about you, Jude?
Jude: Yeah. I'm in. “While we're on the same side.”
Roger: Wow, I'm surprised you agreed so readily. I wonder what's going through your mind.
Jude: How dare the treacherous cursed man put himself on a pedestal.
Alfons: Yes, yes, now that we have formed a joint front, let's get along.
Alfons: So, the most wicked team is now complete.
Alfons: Let's go and kidnap Kate quickly!
Harrison: Kate, you are being targeted from all sides.
Harrison: But we'll protect you.
Liam: Yeah, all we want to see is your smile, Kate.
Ellis: Kate, leave it to us.
Kate: Thank you, Harrison, Liam and Ellis.
Kate: Behind you!
Harrison: When did you guys!
Alfons: “Kate, is invisible to you.”
Harrison: …….
Jude: Ellis, you're not getting enough sleep. Why don’t you sleep a little.
Liam: Jude….ah.
Liam: Harry, Ellis! Damn it, disappear.
Roger: Liam. Your abilities are not the best match for mine.
Roger: Even when you disappear, my ears are still picking up your heartbeat. …..Right here?
Liam: Oh!
Jude: You should sleep too.
Roger: Ok, everyone’s sound asleep like good boys.
Alfons: Normally, we don't get along well with each other, but when it comes to deviousness, we are united, which is a strange thing.
Roger: Because bad people can understand how bad people think.
Jude: If we have time for idle chit-chat, then let’s get out of here before the nobles launch a surprise attack.
Alfons: Yes, yes. Well, Kate, please let us kidnap you.
Kate: What? Oh, hey!
Jude: You'd be smarter to stay quiet, princess.
Jude: I hope you locked the door properly.
Alfons: Yes, of course.
Alfons: This is the perfect guest room. Whatever happens here, only the four of us will know the truth.
Alfons: A secret only for us. Hehe, I'm so excited, Kate.
Roger: Sorry to tie you to the chair, missy. It would have been troublesome if you'd escaped again.
Kate: So the three of you formed a joint front.
Kate: But still, of all people, these three?
Alfons: What do you mean?
Kate: No, nothing.
Roger: You're trying to say that three people without a shred of conscience got together.
Alfons: I'm honored that you appreciate my reputation for lack of conscience.
Alfons: Now, as planned, Kate belongs to one of the three of us.
Alfons: Let's start the finals here.
Jude: Oh?
Jude: Why are you trying to touch the nape of someone's neck, you talking piece of shit?
Alfons: Jude, you're the one who tried to poke me in the forehead with your finger.
Roger: I thought it was funny how easily you agreed to a joint front.
Roger: Your plan is to make it look like a joint front so that you could outflank us at the end, right?
Jude: It's a matter of course. It is a basic business practice to decide whether to use or not to use a contract based on who you are signing it with.
Jude: That fighting pose is proof of that. You traitorous quack.
Alfons: The lowest! Are you planning on hitting us even though you are a former doctor?
Roger: Don't make false accusations. I just thought I'd let you guys have a good night's sleep, since you usually don't get enough.
Jude: I’ll put you to sleep. I’ll comeback and bury you accidentally in a graveyard.
Kate: This is a picture-perfect clash of friends!
Alfons: Oh dear, the joint front is destroyed. It's no wonder it's come to this.
Alfons: Let's play it out in a no-holds-barred match.
Roger: That’s great, I won't complain even if I lose.
Jude: If there’s any mouth left to complain about it, sure.
Kate: STOOOOP!
Roger: What's the matter, missy? You’re being loud.
Kate: As you can imagine, we can't afford to a situation where any of the crown is missing!
Kate: Violence. No. Absolutely not. Anyone who touches me will be considered disqualified and will not be given the necklace!
Jude: Wow, you've become quite the big talker haven’t you?
Jude: Isn't it okay if I take it away by force, princess?
Kate: If you try to take it away from me, I will run away as fast as I can, even if I have to drag a chair with me!
Jude: Ha, she's still as stubborn and obnoxious as ever.
Alfons: Kate has a point. If we were to die accidentally, it would be a national disaster.
Roger: But then, how do you settle the matter?
Roger: Kate, any good ideas?
Kate: Oh, I've decided! Just now!
Kate: The "best and kindest" of the three will receive this necklace.
Alfons & Roger: - The best.
Jude: That's a lukewarm criterion, isn't it? It's the kind of thing you would think of as a child.
Kate: If I don't give it to someone nice, that's when I’ll get in trouble again, right?
Kate: I think it's a good idea and a peaceful solution.
Alfons: That's a very Kate-esque, typical suggestion...shall we try it?
Alfons: Kate, Kate, you must be cramped tied to that chair.
Alfons: I'll let you go. Here you go.
Kate: Oh, thank you very much, Alfons!
Alfons: I'm a gentleman, kind, and handsome, a national treasure, right?
Roger: Hey, back off, you frivolous man. I guess I'm the one who's kind.
Roger: Kate, there's no one as sweet and loving on you as I am, right? Leave it to me.
Jude: There's no way this masochistic pervert would be satisfied with you just being nice.
Jude: I'll be nice to you after I torture you a lot. You like this kind of thing, don't you?
Alfons: I don't think Jude is being nice. He is a villain, this president.
Alfons: I actually saw it…. the other day.
Alfons: Jude threw the fatty part of his steak onto Ellis' plate!
Jude: What's wrong with sharing something you don't like with others? I'm just giving them a hand out.
Roger: It's not nice to force something you don't like on people, is it, Jude?
Jude: How dare you put yourself in someone else's shoes?
Jude: The other day you guys worked together to put Elbert to sleep with a drug that you don't understand, right?
Alfons: There are various things that I would like to clear up without Elle knowing about it, so I have no choice.
Roger: I just want to be able to experiment with new drugs.
Alfons: It's just that my interests coincided with these muscular glasses.
Roger: That’s right.
Jude: All of them are a bunch of bastards.
Alfons: Oh…
Jude: Yeah?
Alfons: Where is Kate going?
Jude & Roger: ………
Roger: When did you do this, missy?
Jude: How fast are you running away?
Alfons: Aha!
Alfons: Disappointing. Now the game is back to square one.
Roger: Haha, that's good. It's more fun when you don't know what the game is. Hey, Jude?
// is an alternate translation
----- are breaks i created to pace myself
T/N- first time adding pics so ignore how bad it might seem
hopefully the translation was good enough! ALSO storyteller/fairytale writer are the same in this story. i just forgot to change it. sorry about the repeat sentences, was rushing this
The dark night was my friend, and death was myself.
I will walk, walk and walk in the dark again today.
And suddenly, I look back.
See, there lies a blood-soaked, happy face of death.
Kate: Victor, Harrison lent me a book the other day. So.........
I handle my responsibilities/job, while Kate takes on the role of a storyteller.
Listening to Kate's stories while working together in the office is becoming a part of my daily routine.
(......You look like you’re having fun. Kate has become a full-fledged member of the Crown, hasn't she?)
Kate: Yes, that's right. It's about Marianne, the maid we discussed the other day.
Victor: Oh, in that case, give her some time off. It's important for her to meet her lover who is far away.
When I conveyed that the matter we discussed has been resolved, she blinked her eyes in surprise.
Kate: Victor, when do you sleep…?
Victor: When?
Kate: I understand you have an overwhelming amount of work. It seems like something I could never handle.
Kate: Even so, you promptly addressed the matter I consulted you about...
Victor: Oh~ Could it be that you're complimenting me? Well, that makes me happy!
Victor: But, unfortunately, even I need to sleep, and as a human, there's a limit to time.
//But unfortunately I sleep, and as long as I'm human, my time is limited.
Victor: Your consultation held an exceptionally high priority, you know.
Kate: …..Thank you, Victor.
Victor: The feeling is mutual. Thank you, Kate, for looking out for the kids working here.
Kate: And... if I'm misunderstanding/wrong, please disregard it.
Victor: ...Huh?
Kate: Victor, was there something that seemed to be bothering you?
Kate: Things that could cloud Victor's heart...
(This one/child truly has a keen eye for people, doesn’t she?)
Honest eyes deserve honest answers.
Victor: Tonight, William and I are embarking on a mission, but it's not a particularly pleasant one, I must say.
There's a story going around about a group that worships Her Majesty the Queen, essentially treating her as a deity.
(People are free to believe in what they want. We, as the Crown, have no right to condemn that. However..)
It appears that this organization kidnaps and imprisons women as idols, and if they are not considered worthy vessels for Her Majesty, they are killed.
//The group is said to kidnap and imprison women as idols and kill them if they are not worthy of Her Majesty.
Victor: Tonight, we will proceed with the investigation, and if they are found guilty, we will deliver judgment in the name of evil.
//Tonight, we'll intensify the investigation. If they are guilty, we'll bring judgment in the darkness.
Kate: ...Committing murder in the name of their worship.
Victor: Kate, there's a possibility that this mission might not be pleasant for you either. So--
Before I could finish my sentence, Kate responded with a determined look in her eyes.
Kate: Victor, would you allow me to accompany you as a storyteller?
Believing that above all, we should respect her will, that night, we infiltrated the organization's stronghold.
William: Belongings of the missing, bloodstains, and then a body was discovered. There's no way to deny it.
Kate: This case is... deserving of condemnation, isn't it?
//This case is... in black, isn't it?
(Tommy Yeager, a noble. Leah Rodriguez, a legislator. Kevin Nicholson...)
(Quite a lineup/assemblage of influential figures, isn't it?)
In times of insatiable greed, those in power liken the queen to a deity and seem to have wishes they want her to fulfill.
William: Tonight, I can speculate that the ritual is taking place in two locations. Either on the upper floor of this mansion or in the basement.
Victor: I'll go to the basement with Kate. Let's head there immediately to prevent further victims.
Kate: Yes...
William: Victor, how much mercy tonight?
Victor: None needed. Their actions deserve condemnation. Loyalty to your wickedness, William.
Kate, I didn't want to show her too much of the horrific scene, praying that this wasn't the 'right' place…
(Ah, I see. It seems like the basement is the 'right' place.)
In the basement, there was an altar-like structure with flickering candlelight. People wearing masquerade-like masks surrounded the altar, and at its center lay a young girl who seemed barely of age.
(So, that's the 'replacement' for the queen. ...Truly grotesque.)
I noticed a man attempting to lower a candle onto the girl's arm, and without hesitation, I took a step forward.
However, Kate moved before me.
Kate: ............no, stop!
The red-haired man with a mask: W-who is this girl! Let go, let go...
Kate: Please stay away from her!... Kyaa!
It happened in an instant, and Kate, who was pushed away, collided with the altar and collapsed on the spot.
Victor: Kate...? Kate...?
(It's okay, she's breathing. She just passed out...)
---In the moment of her collapse, something seemed to have rolled and fallen near Kate.
(...Ah, this is...)
*******FLASHBACK*****************
Victor: Kate, tonight you were supposed to accompany Elbert and Roger on a mission.
Kate: Yes, I'm not used to it yet, so I hope I won't be a hindrance.
Victor: I see. Then, take this.
Kate: A cameo hairpin?
Victor: May it protect you from danger.
Kate: Hehe, it feels reassuring that you've always been there to protect me.
Kate: Thank you, Victor! I'll be going now.
*******FLASHBACK ENDS********************
(...The thing I gave you when you first came to the Crown, isn't it?)
With closed eyes, Kate and the girl lying on the altar, and those who had died, the reasons for not holding back tonight were ample.
Red-haired masked man: Hah, because you disturbed our sacred ritual!
Black-haired masked man: Hey, wait... This gentleman...
Black-haired masked man: Isn't that Lord Victor?
Freckled masked man: Really! Why is His Excellency, the right hand of the queen, here?
While looking at the eerie individuals with masks, focus is on one of them.
Victor: You're the one who pushed this girl, aren't you?
Red-haired masked man: Y-yes... It was me, Lord Victor.
Victor: As I command you. Pledge your allegiance to evil.
//Let it be commanded in the name of death. Now, it's time for death to come for you.
The man's eyes gaze into the void, and his expression becomes euphoric.
Red-haired masked man: Ah... It feels so wonderful. I... I...
The man reaches for his own neck and tightens it, ending his life.
Black-haired masked man: He's... dead...? Why did he... commit suicide...?
Looking at the bewildered men, I focus on one.
Victor: ...Starting from the right, say your names.
Black-haired masked man: Tommy Jaeger... Ugh...
Another death command.
Freckled masked man: Leah Rodriguez. Ah, I... Ah!
Another death command.
Finally, what remained was silence and the serene faces of those who died, as if having beautiful dreams.
William: Is it settled? It seems I won't have a chance to step in.
Victor: Yes, Will. The 'target' was here.
//Yes, Will. The correct location was here.
William: As always, they seem happy in death. As if invited by a god.
(A god, huh?)
As if emphasizing that "Queen Majesty" is not a god.
Victor: ......Humans can never become gods.
William: If you say so, it must be true.
William quietly smiles and lifts the girl on the altar.
William: This girl is mine. I'll leave Kate to you.
William: Considering your anger, it seems Kate is involved.
Returning to the castle, Kate was examined by Roger, and he mentioned that she would wake up soon.
Gently placing the unconscious Kate on her bed.
(Kate. I'm truly relieved that nothing happened to you.)
While looking at Katel's face, I recall the night we first met.
I suggested the position of a fairytale writer to her, partly on a whim,
and partly because I expected it to bring change to the Crown.
Although they are different types, all the Crown members are strong.
That's why I believe that "change brought on by others" is necessary.
People become stronger with the presence of others.
(That change will guide those children to even more beautiful evil/wickedness, I thought.)
I watched Kate from a distance, or at least that was the plan,
(You, without me realizing it, seemed to have brought change to me as well.)
As William said, when Kate was hurt, anger surged within me.
Vividly, truly... human-like emotions
(When you're around, I feel like I'm pulled from being a spectator to being involved.)
(But)
Gently placing the cameo hairpin back in Kate's hair
(No matter how cute you are, I must remain "Assistant to the Queen Victor," by your side as a guardian)
(Beyond that or less than that is not allowed)
//(Not more, not less)
Because if not, my darkness, death, would engulf/swallow her.
I give her hair a gentlemanly kiss.
Victor: Consider it a bad dream of one night and forget everything. Nightmares and death won't chase after you because of me.
Victor: ...Goodnight, Kate.
The next day, when Kate woke up, she rushed to apologize to me.
Kate: I'm sorry, Victor. It's because I rushed out without thinking...
(Don't worry, even if I say not to, you'll still worry.)
//(Don't worry, even if you say that, you'll still be concerned.)
(Oh, that's right. If that's the case,)
Victor: Kate, why don't we have lunch together?
Victor: Ah, today was a lonely lunchtime for me, so I'm glad you're here.
Kate: Is this to make up for last night?
Victor: Of course. Sharing a delicious meal with someone is one of my joys.
Kate: Hehe, then I'm relieved.
(Oh, finally your wonderful smile is back.)
--Suddenly, a fine rain starts to fall above us.
Victor: It's just a passing shower. Kate, come here. Let's go to that gazebo over there.
Kate: Y-yes...
(Well, that surprised me. London's rain is so unpredictable.)
Victor: Kate, are you okay—
Before I could ask, Kate wiped my cheeks with her own palm.
Kate: I'm fine. Besides, Victor...
Victor: ............
Kate's palm, which is more concerned about me getting wet than herself, is incredibly gentle.
It's like rain falling softly from a clear sky, and it once again brings change to my heart.
Kate: Besides, Victor...
Kate: There's something Liam wanted to give you. He was searching, saying he had to give it to you yesterday.
Roger: Keep going…your body can still handle it right?
Kate: Ah… No, not anymore…
Roger: When you think you can’t take it anymore, that’s when it actually starts. Same thing in bed.
Come on, 10 more sit ups.
Kate: Why are you talking about doing things in bed? You’re absolutely the worst!
Instructor Oliver: Oh, is something the matter?
Roger: No, Miss Kate wants me to be stricter.
(......Excuse me?)
Roger: 10 more sit ups. Muscle, muscle!
Kate: Muscle…muscle…Ugh…
(It’s no use, if I do a bad job, I’ll look suspicious)
Roger put his lips to my ear as I desperately tried to do sit ups…
Roger: Maybe the ‘S’ in S class mission stands for ‘sadist’?
Kate: …Eh?
Roger: Hey, you stopped. Come on, muscle, muscle!
(D-damn it!)
--
Kate: Haaa…haaa… So…did you find anything?
Roger: Nah, haven’t “heard” anything suspicious yet. I’ll keep an ear out ‘til I get a lead.
Instructor Oliver: Roger, a moment!
Roger: Yeah, I’m coming over.
Roger: Keep digging. Stay on guard, Kate.
With a nod, Roger went to where Instructor Oliver called him.
(I’m thirsty. I’ll get a glass of water)
Kate:Huh, where’s the drinking fountain…?
Blonde lady: Excuse me, I can show you where it is.
I turned toward the voice and saw a dignified lady smiling at me.
After being shown where the fountain was, the rigorous training continued—
--
I snuck outside.
(No one will come out here, right? I’ll just take a short break and then head back in)
Maybe it was because I’m not used to doing hard exercises, but my knees were about to give out.
???: Who’s this student skipping class?
Kate: Eek! I’m sorry! I won’t slack off anymore!
Roger: Haha. Dummy, it’s me.
Kate: Roger… Geez, don’t scare me like that!
Roger: Sorry, sorry. I’ll give you something nice as an apology, so open your mouth. Say ‘aah’.
Kate: Huh, mmm. It’s sweet…
Is it chocolate?
Roger: You look like a sad puppy.
(You were strict with me, and now you’re spoiling me…)
Perhaps Roger often tames using a carrot and stick.
That’s really, really annoying…
Kate: Oh yeah, I made a friend just then. Her name’s Emilia Winslow.
She told me that her dream’s to go into politics.
Roger: That’s an insane dream when you know women don’t have the right to vote.
Kate: Yeah…She mentioned that.
She wanted to get out of her current situation, but didn’t know how. So she came to the club in desperation.
She thought that if she got stronger, she’d be able to change her absurd situation.
Roger: The women who gathered here all want to get stronger and fight.
As his amber eyes looked up to the sky, a question I wanted to ask suddenly popped in my mind.
Kate: Roger, have you ever wanted to get stronger?
Roger: I have. It’s not like I’ve been like this since I was born.
When I was a kid, I had my first friend. He was cursed.
But because I was weak, I betrayed him in the worst way. I couldn’t protect him.
(This is the first time I’ve heard something about Roger’s past…)
It felt like his eyes, still focused on the sky, wavered for a moment.
Roger: Maybe I’ve always been fighting something?
Seeing that smile on his face, as if he were trying to laugh away the pain, reminded me of what Roger told me that time I fired a gun at someone for the first time.
(At the time, I hated myself for being weak…What Roger said…)
“People who want to get stronger and are able to continue on are really the strong ones.”
When I first met Roger, I thought he was “just a strong guy”.
However, now I can clearly see that he’s someone that “tries to be strong”.
—Suddenly, Roger’s eyes became sharp.
Roger: …
Kate: …Roger?
Roger: Oy…who’s there? I can hear your heartbeat.
Instructor Oliver: …
(What do we do…? If he finds out that Roger and I know each other…)
Instructor Oliver: I’m sorry for eavesdropping… Will you please hear me out?
Somehow Oliver had a feeling that we were different from those that visited the Beauty Muscle Club.
So he followed us—to ask for help.
Instructor Oliver: In the beginning, I was just an instructor working at the club.
But then I uncovered something unthinkable about this place… The owner of the club and master of the estate belongs to the House of Lords.
He has an extremely distorted view on women’s empowerment.
Roger: Does this have anything to do with the fact that women who visit here end up ill?
Instructor Oliver: How did you…Just who are you people?
Roger: That doesn’t matter now. Are the women here getting drugged?
Instructor Oliver: Illegal drugs disguised as muscle-enhancement drugs.
Kate: Why…that’s so ridiculous.
Roger: It’s to stop brilliant and strong women from entering the workforce, isn’t it? So stupid.
Even though they were tricked into it, they took the enhancement drug.
And now the women are afraid to speak out in fear of being accused of taking illegal substances.
And so the truth doesn’t come out.
Kate: …Such a cowardly way of operating.
Instructor Oliver: I don’t want to do this. But they threatened to kill me if I ran away.
He looked like a little kid with how he weakly hung his head, face pale.
(We can’t overlook this evil)
Kate: …Roger, I have a request. I—
Roger: Don’t do anything reckless that’ll put yourself in danger, okay?
Kate: Okay!
—Then, Oliver and I went to where the illegal drugs were being sold.
--
The person who welcomed us was a man from the House of Lords, the wonder of the club and estate.
After Oliver introduced me, the man handed me a small bag of medicine with a friendly look on his face.
(...I got the evidence. All I need to do now is leave)
(But…)
Master of the estate: This will make you stronger and more beautiful. Let us build a better society.
The way he so easily lied filled me with rage.
Kate: …These are illegal drugs.
Instructor Oliver: ?!
As if he caught on, the master of the estate’s eyes turned terribly cold.
And he smiled cooly.
Master of the estate: Britain thriving, but with that, comes women getting louder…
Give them the right to vote, give them places to work.
Women are inferior creatures to men who are just clever enough to serve.
Kate: So, why would you do such a despicable and foolish thing?
Master of the estate: If I don’t pluck the useless weeds, then who will?
Kate: There are a lot of women trying to get stronger, you know?
Master of the estate: And for what reason, when it’s all in vain?
(Oh my god…)
I slapped the man before me as hard as I could.
Master of the estate: …You’re a woman! I can have you killed for this you know!
Kate: …
Before I could get the gun from my garter belt, a gunshot rang out and a bullet grazed the man’s cheek.
The window behind the man broke and Roger, with his hunting rifle, bursts into the room.
Roger: Hold up. Not gonna let you kill my cute student.
Now then, it’s time for Instructor Roger’s fun and exciting punishment.

Warnings and FAQ
Kate: … Haa…
Ellis: Nn… a little more…
Our lips finally parted, albeit reluctantly.
I loved kissing Ellis, but I also loved the moment when our lips parted.
It made me happy seeing the affectionate look in his eyes as he gazed at me.
Kate: … Ah.
Ellis: What’s wrong?
Kate: You smell like cigarette smoke…
Kate: Fufu. Must’ve rubbed off on you from Jude.
Ellis: …
Ellis’ twilight coloured eyes flickered like a flame in the wind for a split second, but it was so brief that I thought I could've been mistaken…
Ellis: Can we… continue?
Our lips met again, the slight feeling of unease pushed to the back of my head.
…
Victor: … Come, let's go through again the plan for today's mission.
Victor: Jude, Ellis, Kate, the three of you will be attending a social party.
Victor: Our target for this mission is a noble who has been suspected for involvement in smuggling dangerous goods.
Victor: Jude will propose a business deal and observe the target’s response.
Victor: In the meantime, Ellis and Kate will keep an eye on the surroundings to make sure there are no suspicious activities.
Kate: Understood.
Ellis: Got it.
Victor: Jude, let’s discuss the deal you’ll propose to the target. We need to make it sound real!
While Victor and Jude went on with their talk, Ellis approached me quietly.
Ellis: … Hey, Kate.
Kate: What's the matter? Ah… is it about the mission?
Ellis: Nope. Not that…
Ellis: Just wanted to tell you that the underwear I’m wearing today is incredibly sexy.
Kate: …
Kate: … HUH!?
(Ellis’ underwear is… s-sexy…?)
Unable to comprehend what he just said, for a moment it felt like any thoughts I had just got flung into the void.
Ellis: Fufu, look at you frozen. You’re so cute.
Ellis had an innocent smile on his face, like a little boy who successfully played a prank.
(I didn't hear that wrong…)
Kate: Um…
Victor: Ellis. Can we go through the weapons you’ll be carrying for the mission?
Ellis: Okay, got it.
Ellis: … Remember what I said, Kate.
Ellis: When I come home from the mission, I’ll show you what I’m wearing.
Without being able to confirm what he really meant by that statement…
Ellis went to check weapons with Victor.
(W-What is “sexy underwear!? I’ve never seen such a thing before…)
(Doesn’t Ellis always wear regular underwear…?)
Kate: U-Uhh… Jude. Has Ellis bought any strange things recently?
I asked Jude who had just finished talking to Victor, and he gave me a puzzled look.
Jude: Strange things…?
Jude: Ahh, yeah he did. He bought something pretty damn strange.
(“Strange”... so he DID buy sexy underwear!?)
(... What is men’s sexy underwear?)
And so the mission began, and it went without a hitch…
All I could think of was Ellis’ underwear.
…
Even after we returned to the castle, my head was still full of Ellis.
(I want to ask Ellis about the true meaning of what he said and clear this up quickly, but…)
(He went to see Victor to report on the mission, so I can’t do that until he gets back.)
Kate: *sigh*...
Liam: Kate. The tea I carefully poured for you has gone cold, you know?
Kate: Oh… you’re right.
I drank the cup of cold tea in one go when Liam pointed that out.
Kate: Sorry, I got too carried away thinking about underwear…
Liam: Underwear…?
Harrison: … Is that something we should be hearing?
Kate: Ah, not my underwear!
(It’s pointless fretting about this alone… I should ask the two of them for advice.)
Kate: Generally speaking… what does it mean when someone buys bold underwear?
Liam: You mean something like underwear set aside for special occasions?
Harrison: … I have now decided that I’m disengaging myself from this conversation.
Liam: Hmm. It could also be to spice up their bedroom life with their lover, I guess?
Kate: Bedroom…
Liam: There could be other reasons too, of course; like buying it just because it’s cute or it gets them in the mood.
Liam: Ellis doesn’t seem to be the type of guy to care about such things, so he must've bought it for you.
Harrison: … He’s probably up to his usual “it’s for Kate’s happiness” shenanigans again.
Kate: Eh!? I-I never said it was Ellis’ underwear…
Harrison: If it isn’t about you, then it must be about Ellis.
Liam: Yeah. … It’s a whole other problem altogether if you’re talking about someone else’s underwear.
(It was that obvious…)
…
(To spice up our bedroom life… huh.)
(... Does that mean he’s unsatisfied with our current situation?)
Kate: … Okay then.
I made a decision and headed to my bedroom.
…
Ellis: Kate, I’m back.
Kate: Ellis…! Welcome back!
The man who had been running through my mind all day returned.
Kate: Um… about what you said earlier today…
Ellis: Fufu… were you curious about it the whole time?
Ellis noticed my fidgeting and laughed in amusement.
Ellis: … Okay. Want to check it out yourself?
Ellis removed his belt and guided my hand to his pants.
Kate: …
My heart was racing at the thought of finally seeing what he meant by “sexy underwear”.
— Or so I thought.
What I saw when I pulled down Ellis’ pants was none other than a pair of the ordinary underwear he has always worn.
Kate: … Isn’t this your usual underwear?
Ellis: Yup. I was lying about the sexy underwear.
Kate: What!? Why would you…
Ellis: Remember when we were making out last night, you mentioned that Jude’s scent rubbed off on me?
Kate: I did, but…
Ellis: … I don’t like it. I don't like it that your mind shifted to Jude even for just a moment.
Ellis: That’s why… I wanted to get “revenge” for that by making sure I’m all you can think of today.
He was indeed all I could think of today, just like he intended.
Kate: … I see. I’m sorry.
Ellis: Don’t apologise, okay? It’s my fault for being so narrow-minded. Also…
Ellis: … I’m sorry for giving you false hope about seeing my underwear, Kate.
Ellis: I didn’t expect to see you get that disappointed when you pulled down my pants to see my usual underwear…
Kate: T-That’s not the case! Apart from being surprised because I’ve been curious about it for a while, I promise there’s no deeper meaning to it…
Kate: It’s because even Jude said you bought something strange recently…!
Ellis: I bought something strange recently…? … Oh.
Ellis: Al said he wanted that, so I was only buying it on his behalf… that should be what Jude was referring to.
(I misunderstood…!)
Ellis: … I’m sorry for lying to you. Do you forgive me?
Kate: I forgive you. … But can you leave my room for a bit?
Ellis: … Are you angry at me?
Kate: Not at all! It’s just… there was a misunderstanding…
Ellis: Misunderstanding?
Kate: … I thought that the reason why you bought sexy underwear was because you were unsatisfied with our bedroom life.
Kate: So…
Kate: … I-I put on that kind of lingerie too. … S-Sexy lingerie. Now I want to change back to my normal underwear.
Ellis: … You’re wearing it now?
Kate: Y-Yes…
Ellis: I want to see it. Show me.
Ellis forcefully pushed me onto the bed.
Ellis: … Since it’s something you prepared just for me, I want to appreciate it properly.
When he said that in such an endearing way, it made me feel like I had no choice but to give in.
That “thing” I prepared was perfectly effective…
My heart was once again filled with joy from the sweet feelings of love that sparked from a lie.

Kate: "Ellis's "request"... Is this okay with you? Are you sure?
Ellis: "Yeah. Date with Jude and Miss Kate on my day off."
Jude: “There's no such thing as a date with the three of us.”
Each with a gelato of a different colour in hand, we sit on the stairs and look out over the city of London.
Ellis: “I saw that Miss Kate seemed to be having a good time on her last mission, so I thought the three of us would be good together."
(Looks like fun..... Was it?)
I try to remember what happened a few days ago.
I was surprised by Mr. Jude's Queen’s English,
I was blown away by Ellis's outrageous act,
Sleeping in a bed with the three of us.….
(......Well, the last one shocked me the most anyway)
I can't say that it was fun, but it was certain that laughter came to mind more than fear.
(Once again, it's thanks to the two of them that we were able to finish the mission safely.)
Ellis: “Here, Miss Kate. I'll give you a bite of mine."
Kate: "Wow..... Actually, I was a little curious of your gelato’s flavour, thank you very much."
I lick the chocolate-coloured gelato with my words.
Kate: "!....so sweet and delicious"
Ellis: "Fufu... I'm glad."
Ellis: “Give me Jude's, too."
Without waiting for Mr. Jude's response, Ellis ate the light yellow food in a single bite.
Jude: "Tsk.... I'm telling you to stop eating without permission."
Ellis: "That's right, I'm sorry. But it was delicious, thank you for the meal."
Ellis is the same as always, even to Mr. Jude who seems to be in a bad mood.
After working together with several missions, I get the sense that....... The two of them do not get along well with each other, but it is natural that they have each other's backs.
(......Somehow, it's nice)
I was a little jealous, and when I was staring blankly at Jude's hand,
Ellis: "Miss Kate, do you want to eat Jude’s too?”
Kate: "What?"
When Ellis suddenly said that, my voice turned inside out.
Kate: "No, I was staring at him for a different reason.”
The tip of Mr. Jude's tongue scoops up the pear gelato.
(Ah... but it sure looks delicious.)
Jude: “…..Do you want it?”
Kate: "Eh, is it okay.......?"
I was puzzled when he offered it to me, but I put my lips to it and extended my tongue.
But just before the tip of the tongue touched, the gelato went away.
Kate: “…….?”
Jude: “.....Ha, your face."
Mr. Jude laughed at me who was stuck with my tongue out, and licked another mouthful of gelato.
Kate: "Hey, that's terrible.... Fiddle with my appetite….!”
Ellis: “All right, all right. ......Next time you can eat his like I do, Miss Kate."
Jude: “I told you not to do that. I'm going to beat you to a pulp.”
Ellis said as if he suddenly remembered while I quietly enjoying my own portion of lemon gelato.
Ellis: "Oh, that's right. What is Miss Kate's request?"
Kate: "Eh? Oh...”
Kate: “I'm fine with it because it was the two of you that kept me from being exposed."
Ellis: "But you did a lot of hard work, right?"
Ellis: "I want to fulfil your “request”."
Jude: “………”
Mr. Jude is looking towards the day after tomorrow, as if to say that this question and answer is meaningless.
Kate: "Well then......"
Kate: "Can you tell me how Ellis came to work at Jude's company?"
Ellis: "Is that a request for me? Or a request for Jude?"
Kate: "Both of you. This one is enough."
Jude: “It's a bunch of nonsense. You don't need that useless information.”
Kate: "Yes, it's fine."
Ellis: "Well... I wonder where to start."
Ellis: “When I first met Jude in London, he put me to sleep with his curse ability right after a few words.”
Kate: “Eh…..!?”
Ellis: "That was the first time Jude realised his ability, right?"
Jude: "I thought he was dead because he suddenly rolled to the ground."
Kate: "So, what happened...?"
Jude: "He woke up when I was smoking."
Kate: "Were you smoking next to someone you thought might be dead.....?"
Ellis: "At that time, I thought maybe he was the same as me, so I also showed my ability."
Kate: "...You mean that you restrained Mr. Jude's wrists...?"
(I don't know what to be scared of...)
Jude: "You don't need that part.”
Ellis: “So, since I didn't have a place to stay, he took me to his house.”
Kate: "Yeah... They say don't follow people you meet for the first time......"
Kate: "Or rather, Mr. Jude shouldn't bring someone you've met for the first time to your house...?"
Jude: “I don't need you to tell me how to manage my life.”
Ellis: "And, I signed the contract."
Kate: "I'm starting to feel like I'm listening to a bad scam experience...... With the way things are going, why did you sign.....?"
Ellis: “I don't have to worry about food, work, or a place to live. .....because he promised me."
Ellis: "I'm waiting for the time when Jude will be the happiest in his life."
Kate: "A promise that will be fulfilled at that time, you mean?"
Ellis: "Yes. He promises to fulfil my request when that time comes."
Kate: “Your request?”
Ellis smiled and avoided the answer.
Ellis: "But... It's hard to come. I wonder if Jude has always been unhappy."
Jude: "You're so noisy."
Kate: "What about Mr. Jude? Why did you decide to hire Ellis?"
Jude: “His physical ability and his curse are useful. He's definitely a bit of a nutcase."
Jude: "There's no way we're going to miss this precious labour force."
Kate: ".....Aiming for the body......?”
Jude: "Stop using creepy phrases."
(Mr. Jude wants to use Ellis conveniently, and Ellis wants Mr. Jude to grant his wish.)
They are by each other's side for each other's purposes...... I guess it's a contractual relationship.
(But...... I feel like that contract was finalised because it was these two people, not anyone else.)
Anyone else would surely have had a different outcome.
I think it's stronger than the bonds of friendship and love.
Ellis: "Well, next's Jude's turn."
Jude: “……..”
After thinking a little, Mr. Jude pointed at me,
Jude: "...From here”
His fingertip pointed across the main street.
Jude: "Run as fast as you can to the bookstore five blocks away and buy these."
On the paper that was given to me, there was a lot of the name of the book.
Kate: "Why do I need to run as fast as I can....?"
Jude: "It's boring when it's just an errand, isn't it?"
Jude: "....Will you keep your promise?"
(That's right......)
Kate: "I'm going......!”
I ate the rest of the gelato and ran through the city of London.
Ellis: ".....You don't have to run.”
Jude: "If you let her walk too long, she'll look back."
Ellis: "Four, five... seven? Who is it this time? Those who have a grudge against Jude again?"
Jude: "I don't know."
Jude: "Three minutes. Finish it before the princess comes back."
Ellis: “Give me two and a half minutes. You'll be thirsty, I'll have to buy you some water."
Jude: "Tsk..... If you do it, you should do four people."
Ellis: "Understood."
Without making any arrangements or exchanging eye contact, the two casually stepped into London’s thinly lit streets.
