70 Aphrodisiac

　　 Aleph looked at me and rushed over as if jumping at me.

　　 [Rei! You were safe! I'm so glad… ugh]

　　 [Uninjured and unstained. However, it seems he was fed a drug.]

　　 [Drug? Is it poison!?]

　　 [It's aphrodisiac.]

　　 [Aprhodisiac? Why such a thing?]

　　 I was gently laid down on a bed with an indigo blue fabric with fine quality.

　　 Aleph affectionately grasped my hands, but even that stimulation made my back s.h.i.+ver.

　　 [U… ngh]

　　 [Do you know how to neutralize it?]

　　 [If it's poison then I do, but aphrodisiac is a specialty. If only I studied more back then… tsk!]

　　 From behind Aleph who was lamenting helplessly, the Princess peered into my eyes unreservedly.

　　 [This is… Aleph-oniisama, please let me get a closer look.]

　　 The Princess put her hand on my forehead, and after checking the color of my skin and my breathing, she nodded once.

　　 [There's no mistake. This aphrodisiac is… ahh, how could they do such a cruel thing!?]

　　 [Yifa, if you know then please tell me! Is there a method to treat it!?]

　　 Aleph raised a bitter outcry and pressed at the Princess. The Princess tightly pursed her lips and as if resolving herself, she told him.

　　 […There is.]

　　 [Please tell me, if there's something I can do, I'll do anything.]

　　 [Onii-sama… Aah but, to such a small child-]

　　 [Please tell us, oh Princess. We want to help Rei in whatever way.]

　　 Ragna also looked straight at the Princess as if piercing through her. The Princess told them the method after a moment's hesitation.

　　 [This aphrodisiac… Unless one receives a s.e.m.e.n inside one's body, the symptoms won't recede.]

　　 Whawhawha, WHAT DID SHE SAY ー !? What kind of erotic game is this?

　　 Towards the outrageous treatment, I forgot to even gasp for a moment and my mouth fell open.

　　 [It's an illicit aphrodisiac believed to increase men's pleasure, turning any girl, no matter how inexperienced, into an amazing lay. So no other cure has been found. Men self-servingly keep this fact hidden.]

　　 [I see, understood. Yifa, could you lend us a room?]

　　 [But you're far too much for such a small child to handle, Nii-sama. You ought to ask a shorter and all-around smaller knight to supply the cure.]

　　 Ah, the shoulders of the revolutionary army soldiers sprang up. Even though they're tall… I decided to abstain myself of further thoughts for the sake of their honor.

　　 [I can't do that. Rei is my spouse.]

　　 [Eeh!?]

　　 Princess Yifa was shocked and covered her mouth with her hands.

　　 [Onii-sama, you were married!? Oh my,  congratulations…! But uh, how should I say this… It's a mutual agreement, right?]

　　 While taking glances at my direction, the Princess' cheeks turn red. Hey, do I look that much like a kid?

　　 Certainly, I am child-faced with feminine features, on top of that, the men in this world are all ridiculously big, and most of all, I'm shorter than the Princess, but still.

　　 [It will be long if I talk about it but we truly love each other. That's why I want you to leave it to me with a peace of mind.]

　　 [Was, that how it was… I got it, I will lend you this room so aside from Onii-sama and Rei-sama, everyone will retreat.]

　　 Ragna showed his opposing thoughts at the commanding Princess.

　　 [I will stay here. Because I am also Rei's partner.]

　　 [Really? Aah, I wonder if perhaps that elf back then was also the same?]

　　 [Umu, there is also another one aside from that guy who loves Rei.]

　　 [Oh my~… Just when I thought that he was just a pretty little boy, he's unexpectedly a devilish man.]

　　 [Devilish… you say, whugh… ngh!]

　　 Uuuh, I'm too sensitive and my breathing is feeble, I can't even say my complaint properly. Whatever so just please set me free.

　　 [Oops, my bad then. If that's how it is then I will leave the rest to you guys. Do take your time.]

　　 Princess Yifa walks out the door bringing the soldiers with her. The hustle and bustle outside unknowingly stopped and cries of victory could be heard coming up from a distance.

　　 [It seems they've cleaned up over there, too.]

　　 [Although I am curious what has become of Eldest Brother, we must treat Rei now.]

　　 Aleph and Ragna flung off their jackets and climbed on top the bed. I, who has been kept in suspense since a while ago, swallowed my saliva.
