Sprite Palace, the Audience Chamber
Your Majesty, did I not ask you to finish all your assignments by today?!?!
U-Uh...! I-I was going to!
Then please explain why nothing has been done!
W-W-Well, um...
You did not even bother to think of an excuse, did you?!
U-Um... N-Ner...
Have you thought of an excuse now? Come, let me at least hear what you have to say.
N-Ner... I HATE you!
Erpin runs away at an amazing speed.
Er, Ner? Let's calm down...
Sssp... haaa...
Exactly... Deeper breaths...
Master?
Ner puts on a bright smile and comes straight up to me in the blink of an eye.
Y-Yes?
You were with Her Majesty all day yesterday, were you not?
U-Uh, was I...?
Rohne spilled everything already. She said the two of you had a grand old time as you swept through the bakery district?
Th-The look in Ner's eyes is...
Er... Ner? First of all, please calm down.
Excuse me? I am perfectly calm right now. Unlike Her Majesty, it appears that you have at least prepared an excuse.
Okay, let us hear it.
Well... Erpin has been working very hard on her assignments recently without missing a single day, right?
Yes, that is true. She achieved a new record of going three full days.
Right! She achieved a new record! And it seemed like she had some pent-up stress from that...
So, you mean to say that the two of you swept through the dessert district to release some stress?
Exactly! I knew you'd get it, Ner—
And after your whirlwind tour of the dessert district? I heard that all the shops had to close at 3 pm because of you.
Oh, that... well...
You are not about to give me some ridiculous excuse of being so full that a short nap turned into sleeping until morning, are you?
Heh... hehe... You really know us—
DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT MAKES ANY SENSE?!
Hooooo... Urgh. My head hurts, so I will end the lecture here.
You and Her Majesty are to write 100 letters of apology! Understood?!
E-Er... Sorry... I'll make sure to tell Erpin, too...
Sprite Palace, Corridor
A few moments later
*Knock, knock!*
Ner, I finished my letters of apo—huh?
Ner is staring into thin air and taking deep breaths. Why does this seem so scary...?
Hoo... Seriously... How wonderful would it be if Her Majesty were truly like that...
Did I do a bad job of teaching her?
Yes, I believe I lost my temper too much today. I should give Her Majesty some of that strawberry cake she likes when she returns.
Wait... isn't that Erpin? What's with that dignified expression? And look at how she is sitting on the throne with such perfect posture!
Um... Ner?
Eek!
Ahh!
Y-You startled me!
Flustered, Ner hurriedly repositions herself as if to hide Erpin.
Wait... no way...
Leave your letters of apology on the desk over there. And, ahem... I'm sorry for getting angry earlier.
Huh? Uh... Don't mention it. By the way, Ner, that thing you were just looking at...
If that is all, please show yourself out! I am quite busy...
*Slam!*
If I'm not mistaken, that Erpin was definitely Ner's Yearning.
A dignified Erpin, huh?
I suddenly felt tears welling up and threw my head back.
Ner's Yearning is Erpin as a wise and noble ruler, huh? Ner... that is a long road ahead, but hang in there!
From within Ner's room, I can hear the sound of pillows and cushions being pounded on. I should probably pretend I never saw Ner's Yearning for now.
