"What... Your Highness Electra, what does this mean?"

As I stand frozen, cornered by Electra, Aeris steps in to ask the question on my behalf. She positions herself between Electra and me, peeling me away from the imposing bosom that had pressed against me.

"That place is off-limits to anyone other than those recognized by His Majesty the King. Even though you're the princess, we cannot allow you in."

"Yes, Aeris. Of course, I'm aware. However... as long as I'm with Marquis Baskerville, who has obtained permission, it shouldn't be a problem."

Electra then continues, "I have had things I wished to investigate in the 'Eternal Library' for some time now. However, Father did not grant me permission to enter. I was struggling with his unreasonable demands when Marquis Baskerville acquired entry permission to that location. Who would miss this opportunity?"

"...I understand the reasoning. Yet, it's still overly reckless, Your Highness Electra."

"...Yes, to the point of being insane."

I find myself sighing in agreement with Aeris' words.

The 'Eternal Library' is a dungeon that can be accessed as an additional element after clearing the scenario. The monsters within are notably powerful. Even though I have gained strength enough to face the Demon King, it is still a dangerous zone where complete safety cannot be assured.

Taking the princess there... what kind of joke is this? I wouldn't be able to take responsibility if something went wrong.

"Surely, we cannot intend to take the princess to such a place. Does His Majesty the King approve?"

As Aeris raises an unusual expression and inquires, Electra proudly raises her chest with a smirk.

"Oh, I have already received permission from Father."

"What...?"

"I spoke with Father before chasing after you. He has given his consent. 'Marquis Baskerville has presented more than enough treasures. We must return the favor,' he said."

"Meaning... the princess accompanying us is the favor returned?"

"It seems that way."

"..."

Aeris' lips twitch slightly.

I understand her feelings quite well. Personally, I felt more burdened than receiving tokens of gratitude; it's as if I've been burdened with a nuisance.

"Wait a moment... Is that king planning to burden us again with unreasonable tasks by sending in another bomb?"

"Did you say something, Marquis Baskerville? I heard 'bomb' but..." 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝑜𝑟𝘨

"I didn't say anything... Your Highness Electra. The conversation is understood, but is it safe to trust someone you don't know? You're not unaware of how the Baskerville family is perceived in society?"

"'Embodiment of Evil,' 'Mastermind behind Slayers Kingdom,' correct? You need not worry. I am not someone small enough to be swayed by mere rumors."

Electra wears a smile that could almost be considered charming, holding her arms open.

Although, a short while ago, she was excessively worried about Aeris, who had married into the Baskerville family... What is she saying so soon after?

"In spite of appearances, I am capable of using magic to some extent. Be grateful that I am here to assist you!"

"..."

Electra's words make Aeris and me sigh together.

And thus, the fourth member destined for the 'Eternal Library' journey is decided.

The chosen individual is Electra the Slayers.Daughter of the King of Slayers Kingdom. A princess born and raised in illustrious circumstances.
