Chapter 152: Its Already Pretty Big, Alright?
âSighâŠâ

Within the room the princess was sighing over and over. It hadnât stopped since the start.
Shien sat in front of the princess, watching her sigh over and over. It got to the point where the tea in his hand had lost all flavor to him.
At this point, Shien and Lucy were sitting facing each other at a small white table, having tea.
Oh, and itâs not red tea either, but a sweet honey tea. The ultra sweet kind that, when Shien took a sip, it felt like his tongue was turning into sugar.
However, the princess was happily enjoying such a sweet tea. Itâs just that sheâs continuously sighing.
Shien had about enough, so he spoke up.
âI say, princess, just how much longer do you want to keep sighing like that?â
This actually wasnât even the first time that Shien had said that.
Only, every time she heard it, not only did Lucy not stop, she started sighing even more heavily.
âIâve hid it for all these years. Not even Leili or my elder sister has seen it. For something so important to have been seen by a man that I only just met, really⊠SighâŠâ
Lucy had kept on saying stuff like that, and Shien was so tired of it that he kind of wanted to hit her.
Hmm, with as pretty as she is, if he actually did hit her, sheâll probably cry for quite some time, right?
Unfortunately, she wasnât actually one of those super weak and delicate princess types. If he actually did hit her, putting aside whether or not sheâd cry, the female knights outside would definitely charge right in.
Thus, Shien had no choice but to bare with it.
âSince itâs so important, then donât go exposing it at all. Canât you just go back to the princess mode from before?â
The currently Lucy really gave Shien a really useless impression. Itâs to the point that Shienâs previous impression of the princess had completely shattered.
Whatâs even more terrifying is that even though she was acting so useless, when itâs her doing it, it actually had an amazing slothful beauty to it. Really, Shien had to admit it, someone beautiful really could get away with anything, because sheâd beautiful no matter what sheâs doing.
Lucy, who didnât know what Shien was thinking, was already showing an expression like sheâs giving up.
âI just tried that, but didnât you say that I canât just muddle through?â Lucy spoke like she had completely given up, âIn that case, I donât care anymore. Itâs super exhausting pretending to be a good girl all the time you know!â
In response, Shien felt like, as an adult, he should give a very mature suggestion here.
âIn that case, shall I go out and help you announce it? Just tell those young noblemen outside that their goddess is actually a complete good for nothing?â Shien did his best to show his goodwill.
âDonât you dare!â The ungrateful princess immediately pounded the table, trampling Shienâs goodwill.
âSince youâve seen it already, Iâm giving up on this, but if you dare to spread the news of what had happened here, donât blame me for what Iâll do to you.â
Lucy threatened Shien with a super fierce expression.
âAre you trying to kill me with moe here?â Shien couldnât help but say, âI have to say, you did choose a method thatâs very likely to actually work.â
The damage caused by that method couldnât be defended against even with the Holy Swordâs protection, never mind Shienâs resistance skills.
âWhoâs trying to kill you with moe? Speaking of, just what kind of method is this moe killing anyways? Why havenât I heard of it before?â Lucy frown beautifully and looked at Shien suspiciously, âIs this a killing style from another world?â
âBasically.â Shien faintly spoke, âItâs a method only usable by pretty girls like you. Itâs not all that effective against members of the same gender, but itâs super effective against those of the opposite gender. Anti-male, basically. When a cute and young the girl that uses this ultimate skill, all lolicons⊠No, all gentlemen will receive deadly damage, and in the end, theyâll spray massive amounts of blood from their nose and die of blood loss. Itâs too bad that youâre too big though.â
â⊠Why do I fell like youâre just playing around with me?â Lucyâs frown deepened as she held onto her cup of honey tea and glared at Shien, âPlus, donât call me big. Iâm only 17!â
Those words made Shien unconsciously glance imperceptibly toward Lucyâs chest.
Then, Shien spoke up.
âYouâre already pretty big at 17, alright?â
Thatâs the truth.
It really is the truth here.
At the very least, no other 17 year old could compare to this princess.
In a word, itâs the different between B and D, get it?
However, the princess didnât, so she started arguing with Shien.
âWhatâs big about 17? I only reached adulthood two years ago!â
âBut you are big though.â
âIâm not big! Iâm very little!â
âNo no no. You really are big. Believe me.â
âYouâŠâ
Facing Shienâs rather meaningful seeming words, Lucy was pissed off.
However, seeing how Shien was grinning the whole time, Lucy was a bit confused.
âDonât you feel itâs strange?â Lucy looked straight at Shien, âArenât you curious as to why I suddenly turned so different from how I was before?â
If it was anyone else that saw how Lucy currently was, theyâd definitely have already started asking, right?
Yet, other than an initial bout of befuddlement and looking at Lucy with scornful eyes like she lied to him, Shien didnât bother saying anything more about it.
This made Lucy, who was already ready to confess the whole thing, super disappointed.
Unknowing of the fact thatâŠ
âItâs because ever since you were little, you grew up under everyoneâs expectations and hopes. You were viewed as the pillar of the Kingdom and worshiped as the modern Hero, so, in order not to disappoint others and to not bring sorrow to those who looked up to you, the great princess hide her true personality and forced herself to live, bearing the expectations of others. The normal princess mode exists for that sake, and your current self is your true self. Am I about right?â
Shien spoke without a pause and spewed out the most important secret in Lucyâs heart in a single breath.
âYou, you, you, youâŠ!â Lucy pointed at Shien with a shocked expression, âHow did you know that!?â
âHehe.â Shienâs smile didnât reach his eyes, âHow do I know? Because this kind of character setting is just way too cliched!â
Why else did Shien look down at Lucy with such a scornful look when he finally recovered from his shock?
It wasnât that he looked down at Lucy as a person, but that he looked down at the character setting.
Thus, Shien didnât particularly have any real objections to the huge differences between Lucyâs before and after. At most, he just wanted to grumble about it.
âAnd here I respected you before. Give me back my feelings.â
Shien stole the cup of honey tea from Lucyâs hands.
âI never made you have feelings in the first place! Itâs you who put me on a pedestal here!â Lucy immediately grabbed her honey tea back while complaining, âItâs because you guys kept going more and more overboard with your image of me that Iâm forced to turn into something like this. Yet now youâre blaming me? Thatâs way too unreasonable!â
âYouâre the unreasonable one here. What does that have anything to do with me? Iâm not even from this world!â
