One afternoon, Alfons and I were being briefed on our next mission.Â
Victor: Thatâs the general outline of it. Additionally, I have a favour to ask of you twoâŚÂ
Dariusâ Voice: Itâs me. May I come in?Â
Victor: You may.Â
Upon being granted permission, Darius entered the room with Nica and Ring.Â
Victor: You came at the perfect time, I was going to talk about you.
Darius: I saw Miss Fairytale Keeper enter the room with Alfons earlier, so I figured as much.Â
(Does Victorâs favour have something to do with the members of VogelâŚ?)Â
Victor: Actually, I was asked if one of the Vogel members could accompany you on a mission.Â
Victor: Iâm thinking that itâd be a good idea for this mission. What are your thoughts, Alfons and Kate?Â
(This mission is to find out the time and place of a transaction involving âillegal drugsâ.)Â
(Weâre only going to eavesdrop on the targetâs conversation, so it shouldn't be a problem to have more people with us.)Â
Kate: I think it's fine with me.Â
Alfons: I don't mind as long as I get to choose who comes with us.
Darius: Fufu, who will you choose?
Ring: Iâll cut every single member down if anything happens to Dari or Nica.Â
Alfons: Ooh, how scary! But thereâs no need to worry.
Alfons: The one I choose is you, Ring.Â
Ring: ⌠Me?
Surprised to hear that he was chosen, Ring cast a glance at Darius.
Darius: Isnât that great? I think you can learn various things from this.Â
Darius: So⌠Pass auf dich auf / Have a nice one.Â
Ring: ⌠Alles klar / Understood.Â
And so, the first mission with Alfons, Ring, and I began.
âŚ
The day of the mission. Ring stared wide-eyed at me when he boarded the carriage.Â
Ring: W-whatâs with that outfitâŚÂ
Kate: I put it on for the mission. ⌠Do I look weird?Â
Ring: ⌠I was just a little surprised because you look different from usual.Â
As Ring gave a blunt response, Alfons put an arm over my shoulder.Â
Alfons: It suits Miss Robin, doesnât it? I picked out this dress for her.Â
Alfons: She looks so lovely it makes you feel like you want to pin her down and get dirty with her, doesn't she? I understand that feeling.
Ring: WhaâŚ! I- I never said anything like thatâŚ
Alfons: My, are you secretly thinking about it then? What a pervert.Â
Ring: I would never! ⌠Youâre exactly as the rumours say you are. âA walking violation to public decency and moralsâ!Â
Alfons: I donât deny that, but isnât your reaction too exaggerated, Ring? You sound like a virgin.
Alfons: I wonder if you can handle this mission when youâre so innocent⌠Iâm worried.Â
Alfons: Since youâre not used to women, perhaps we should have someone else replace youâÂ
Ring: W-wait⌠I have plenty of experience with that, so I don't have any problems completing the mission.Â
Alfons: Is that so? Thatâs a relief then. Isnât it, Miss Robin?
Kate: Y-yesâŚÂ
Alfons continued talking to Ring amusedly, his facial expression looking as though he had found a new toy.Â
On the other hand, Ring looked uncomfortable and was clearly not liking Alfonsâ teasing.Â
(... I hope we complete the mission without any problemsâŚ)Â
âŚ
The carriage sped through the streets and arrived at a large mansion in the suburbs.Â
Alfons: Allow me to explain about this mansion which is the location for our mission.Â
Alfons: This mansion is a meeting place for people who indulge in illicit love affairs.Â
Alfons: All forms of love are accepted here⌠regardless of social status, gender, or marital status.
Alfons: Therefore, all conversations between the pairs that take place in this mansion are kept strictly confidential.Â
Ring: That makes it the perfect place for criminals to meet in secret.Â
Alfons: Exactly. Moreover, participants can choose to get a key to a private room to enjoy some alone time together as a pair.
Alfonsâ explanation reminded me of what happened when we first arrived at the mansion.
= Flashback Start =Â
Butler: Please hold, dear guests. The rooms can only be used by two people. Three isâŚÂ
Alfons: No need to worry. We don't intend to have a threesome.
Alfons: He and I are competing for this ladyâs love. Isnât that right, Ring?Â
Ring: Huh!? Y-yeah⌠thatâs right.
Despite not fully understanding the situation, Ring seemed to be going along with Alfonsâ story.
Alfons: She will choose between Ring and I later on.
Alfons: It wonât be a problem if we only obtain the room key after that, right?
= Flashback End =Â
Kate: We have to choose the room next to our targetâs in order to eavesdrop on their meetingâŚÂ
Kate: Thatâs why you made it seem as though two of you are competing for me, then weâll find out which room our target is in and get our key.Â
Alfons: Your quick understanding is very helpful.Â
Ring: ⌠I wasnât told about this mansion prior to starting the mission.
Kate: It was my first time hearing about it too.Â
Alfons: Ah, I withheld that piece of information on purpose.Â
Kate: What.
Ring: Withholding information⌠is this Crownâs way of doing things? Or were you trying to trap meâŚ?Â
Ring: Whichever it is, I guess I donât have the right to complain if you were to kill me right here and now.Â
Kate: P-please calm down, Ring! Iâm sure he had his reasons for doing that. ⌠Right, Alfons!?Â
Alfons: Why did I withhold information, you askâŚ? It was for Ringâs sake.
Ring: For my sake?Â
Ring looked at Alfons suspiciously.Â
He was definitely feeling the same way I was â âthis man canât be trustedâ.Â
Alfons: I figured that youâd get nervous if you knew weâd be pretending to compete over a woman⌠so I chose not to tell you until the last minute.Â
Alfons: But you said youâre very experienced, right? My worries were unfounded then.Â
Rint: R-right. No need to worry about me.
Kate: What about me? Why didn't you tell me?
Alfons: Because youâll feel bad if Ring was the only one kept in the dark.Â
(I canât deny thatâŚ)Â
Alfons: Well then. Weâll have to find out which room our target choseâ
Alfons: And Kate will have to choose one person between Ring and myself to be her lover.
Alfons: If this goes as I expected, Iâm the one youâll choose, right? Iâll make you feel good today too, as always.Â
Ring: ⌠I won't let that happen.
Ring: As a member of Vogel, I canât afford to make a fool of myself here.
