Bear-san and Shinobu's respective battles
-Yuna’s POV-
I will undoubtedly defeat Volglass and the wyverns.
Occasionally, I use detection skills to check other locations as well.
It's essential to understand the situation. After everything that happened, I probably should have given everyone a bearphone since we did the contract magic.
That way, if something happened, we could contact each other immediately.

After a short ride, we entered the village and stopped in front of a house.

I tied the new cloth Victor had given me behind my head to cover my eyes.

""Ah""
My voice and Victor's voice overlap. I pulled my hands away from my face.
I couldn't believe my spur-of-the-moment reaction had landed me into this mess. Why am I constantly finding myself in desperate situations these days?
"You're so beautiful it's annoying."

Victor smirks at me, provoking me.
Wait, wait, who's going to demand that I get naked... I mean, in case you didn't notice, I haven't been stripped of my title yet, so it's not a good idea to get naked in front of a man.

Translator's note: (relevant knowledge for this chapter)
Azuki Arai (literally, ‘Red Bean Washer’) is a supernatural monster in Japanese folklore that washes adzuki beans in isolated streams or riverbanks while singing "Wash me beans, or catch me a human to eat... Shoki-shoki! Shoki-shoki!" (Shoki-shoki is the onomatopoeia for the sound of adzuki beans tumbling over one another as they are washed.)

Before Melsa's eyes was a plant around twice her height that occupied the entire area. Unlike the green forest behind her, the plant was covered in yellow blossoms, and at a glance, its sight was so beautiful that it didn't seem like it belonged to this world.

I wish I could have a little more fun dressing up as a man.
Surely a prince of a country wouldn't be fooled by something like this. He would be a pretty insensitive prince if he truly believed I was a man….
I thought I was relatively well-dressed for a man.
"Prince, what are you talking about? This guy, no matter how you look at him, is a man. There's no woman like her."

I was getting tired of hearing that line. I wonder if they could come up with something different.
"Who the heck are you?" would be a good choice, but I haven't heard it even once yet.
Well, it could just be that I was not listening.
The expression in the prince's eyes changed a little. He seems to be a little interested in me.
