The Doll and The Prince - v2 Chapter 54 (Patreon)

Hiiro (28)
With a gleam in his right eye and cheeks slightly flushed, Naruhito, who seemed to be enjoying himself, began to stagger.
I hurriedly lifted him up and gave him water. Moving for two hours were apparently too long.
In the end, Naruhito captured two more people, winning the match.

"Ahh~ so frustrating~! I should have cut tendons instead of breaking leg bones. That would have been faster."

Both actions are prohibited from now on, though. Whether there will be a next time is uncertain.
I mentally responded to Rikimaru's words.

"So Rikimaru lost..."

I heard a surprised mutter from behind me. Akemi’s guard for today was Mizuchi of the Senmon'in family. Slim with a fighting style similar to these two, I believe she’s Hitachimaru and Rikimaru's father's brother's child.

"Don’t say that, Mizuchi. I'm feeling down right now. Even if I caught the last person, it would be a draw at best. I can't believe it..."

Mizuchi looked at Naruhito in disbelief.
Holding Naruhito, I took off the baggage on his back, and he leaned against me, seeming relieved.

"What's this?"

A small container on the waist.

"Dumplings."

"Dumplings?"

"Have some."

I took one out and put it in my mouth. They were small dumplings. Rikimaru also took one from his waist pouch and started eating. Ah, the kind you eat before chasing out ogres.

“You have become my companion."

He said, and smiled happily. He’s still chewing, is he okay?
Otoha and Toshitane also joined us.

"Are you okay, Otoha?"

"I just sat in the back room. Nothing happened to me. The role of a princess is boring. Isn’t it, Uncle?"

Not knowing the situation, Otoha, who was targeted, said she just sat and talked with Toshitane.
Fortunately, no one managed to reach the princess.

"Now, shall we clean up?"

Otoha, rolling up her sleeves, was ready to work.

"What about you, Hiiro? Want to interrogate them?"

"No, I will leave it to you? It doesn't matter to me."

"I don't care, either.”

What did Akemi come for?

"I wanted to see the match. I also want to play occasionally."

This guy can read minds, can't he? And he said he came to play.
It seems the dissolution of the Nijou family is a decided matter.
