"Those Imperial Arms are quite interesting, aren't they, Lord Durandal..."
Chapter 5: Double the Feeling
The next day, dawn had just broken.
Durandal slowly opened her beautiful blue eyes and immediately... discovered that Rita, the "herself" who had been sleeping beside her, was gone. The next moment, however... she felt Rita's extreme discomfort.
When Rita felt uncomfortable, she shared that feeling with Durandal as well.
"Rita, what's wrong?"
Durandal found Rita beneath the bed, seemingly unable to understand why Rita had been sleeping on the floor.
"What do you think..."
Rita climbed to her feet and stared speechlessly at the version of herself before her with her wine-red eyes. Durandal had kicked her out of bed several times in the middle of the night. If not for her concern for Lord Durandal... she would have lost her temper long ago.
Did she think a maid wouldn't get angry?
That was right! The esteemed Lord Durandal, Destiny's strongest Valkyrie, not only buried her head in her pillow while asleep, but also loved kicking off the blankets—and kicking anyone beside her out of bed along with them. Rita had slept beside Durandal and been kicked off the bed four times in one night!
And that was not even the worst part. The worst part was... Lord Durandal sometimes drooled in her sleep.
"S-Sorry! It's a bodily habit I can't control."
The two were the same person, so there was no way Durandal could not know what Rita knew. It was just that Durandal had slept too deeply last night. Even when Rita was kicked out of bed, she had not awakened.
Because it did not hurt at all...
"If apologies were useful, what would we need the police for?!"
Rita suddenly thought of something and began to "act" with a solemn expression.
