Heika: You splashed water on Rijun?
Heika: Ahaha, // I would love to see that.
Yuurin: It's not a joke. // I thought my heart has stopped!
Yuurin: After that, he keeps prickling me saying sarcasm...
SFX: wipe wipe
*In the first place*
*Aren't you lack of composure?*
*And why was it that your spontaneous scream is "Guwoah"? As a woman, what do you think about that*

[Witness No.1; Inner Palace Manager, Elder Chou.]
SFX: munch
#07
Yuurin: Eh
SFX: scrub scrub
Elder: I was asked about your working attitude.
*Do you have something you want to say*
*Hmm*
Yuurin: Eeh?
*Could it be, it's the probity check to cut the salary...?*
Elder: Oh well! // I'm kind after all!
SFX: WAHAHA
Elder: I gave you a lot of praises!
*Don't worry!*
Yuurin: Elder...
Elder: When I said that I'll have nothing to say more if you bear the heir, // he made such a nasty face!
Yuurin: Please do not say something unnecessary.
*Are you harassing me?*
#08
Elder: Seems like, he has been going around asking the other people too you know?
[Witness No.2; The Consort's personal lady-in-waiting]
Maid: Yes, I was asked. // He asked if we have some troubles regarding Okisaki-sama.
Maid: Of course, I said there's nothing.
*Relieved...*
Yuurin: I... I see...
Yuurin: -Well, // but,
Yuurin: I think it's better if you clearly say it if you have any complain...
Maid: -
[I feel sorry for them for taking care of me without knowing that I was just a part-timer...]
Maid: Well then, // please let us dress you up more.
Maid: The make-up, // dress, // with far more flashy ones...!
[We don't have enough taking care of you...]
SFX: turn
Yuurin: *I'm sorry* It's enough as I am right now...!!
Yuurin: My commoner heart hurts...!
#09
[Witness No.3; Temporary Aide, Ryuu Houen.]
Houen: He did ask me about it but, // I don't have any obligation to report about the answer to you.
[What did you say, you rascal-!! *I'm sure you said a lot about me...!!]
[Rijun-san is going all-out investigating me...!]
*I see I see*
SFX: flap flap flap
[This probably won't be about salary cut anymore...!]
#10
[Fired...!? Am I fired...!?]
SFX: Gan
Yuurin: I, // I don't have any means to pay off the debt if I'm forced to quit this job...!?
Rijun: Thanks for your hard work. // I'll be intruding you here.
SFX: Thud thud
[Gyaa-]
[He's here-!]
SFX: scroll scroll
[The final verdict!?]
Yuurin: Err... Is there something...
#11
Rijun: Please continue working as usual.
Yuurin: -Emm... The other day, about me splashing the water on you, // I'm really sorry...
Rijun: Enough with the chatter.
SFX: strict
Yuurin: Yes sir!
SFX: clench clench
*Lala~*
Rijun: -I see, // As expected, excellent performance.
SFX: write write
Rijun: Thoroughly clean even the edges...
#12
Rijun: ...Seems like you're in bad mood, Your Majesty.
Heika: ...Without my permission, you bullied her too much. // She's totally dejected yesterday.
*It's only water in a bucket*
*I'm doomed...*
*Yuurin!?*
Rijun: ? // I didn't bully her or something.
*That's disgraceful...*
SFX: scroll scroll
SFX: stare
Rijun: More importantly, Your Majesty, I told you about it the other day, // I want you to approve the matter about Yuurin-dono's salary raise...
#13
Heika: Salary raise?
*Did we talk about such thing?*
*We did*
Rijun: Yes. // Her employment period has become quite long,
Rijun: She does have some faults but, // she is hardworking and passionate about her work, a capable person.
Rijun: So that I won't make biased decision, after confirming the opinions from people around her, // she's good at cleaning, she has good personality, and she has guts, // ...etc, generally, she received high valuation.
Rijun: For the sake of her increasing ambition after this as well-
#14
Heika: - // I thought you were quite harsh on Yuurin but,
Rijun: ...Even now, I still totally don't get, // about the reason Your Majesty has taken an interest in her.
Rijun: However, it's a different story with the achievement's evaluation.
*Haha*
Heika: Aah, // That's right.
Heika: You're that kind of person.
Rijun: ...Seriously,
#15
Yuurin: Are you okay!?
Yuurin: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
SFX: drip drip
*sigh*
Rijun: Even I, // aware that she's a good person.
[The next day]
Yuurin: Salary //raise?
SFX: flabbergasted
Rijun: Yes, that's why-
Yuurin: Wh...
#16
Yuurin: What kind of a trap, // is that...!?
SFX: tremble tremble
*A plan to make me happy and then push me into hell...!?*
Rijun: You really do have some nerve aren't you...
[After all that, Tei Yuurin, // is happily working part-time today as well.]
[In the passing]
Heika: Speaking of which, // I was asked too, about Yuurin.
Heika: When I said that you're funny and cute, // he said, "That's not working attitude".
*So it was an assessment*
